In the waters one nautical mile from the volcanic island, there is a slender cone lying horizontally. This is the finished product designed by Huogu after racking his brains.

　　 The length of the cone has reached eight meters, and its mass is not comparable to that of the previous cell cluster. Even in the surging sea, it is only slightly shaking.

　　 This kind of creature, in the period when the biosphere of the ancient universe was still in the microbial stage, this can already be regarded as the category of ‘sacred beasts’. Apart from looking up, there is only looking up.

　　 At the end of the cone, there are several tentacles formed by a combination of muscle cells and carbon nanofibers, and with suction cups.

The function and principle of the sucker are the same as the tentacle suckers of cephalopods. They all secrete mucus and create a vacuum environment in the sucker to achieve the effect of adsorbing objects. It can also be used to fix the body in reverse. On a certain object, by the way, you can also grasp the direction while traveling at high speed.

　　 There are a total of six tentacles like this at the end of the cone.

　　 There are four eyes on the cone. Three of them are on the **** of the cone. Each eye observes a 120-degree angle of view. The fourth eye is in the center of the tail to ensure that there is no blind spot in the field of vision.

　　 In order to ensure the safety of the eyes during high-speed travel, the outside of the eyes will be covered with a layer of silicon crystals with a certain carbon content, which is tempered glass that is widely used in human civilization.

　　 The cone shell is silver-white with a silver-gray metallic luster. This is a titanium alloy shell, which is lighter, stronger and less dense than iron of the same volume.

The structure of the shell is divided into three layers, the innermost layer and the outermost layer are both titanium alloys, and the two middle interlayers are grids constructed of nano-carbon fibers. In this way, even if the outermost titanium alloy is damaged, the second layer The nanofibers can also play a good role in offsetting and buffering, and the third layer of titanium alloy can also defend against attacks that can penetrate the titanium alloy defense.

　　 The color of the head of the cone is slightly different from that of the outer shell, which is steel gray.

　　This part is not a titanium alloy, but ‘chromium’ with a Mohs hardness of 9. As the hardest diamond in nature, with a Mohs hardness of 10, it is as easy to plunge into rocks as it is to plunge into ooze.

　　 Some of the original designs used on the gourd, Huogu did not abandon it, but continued to apply it to his newly designed individual.

The two pairs of'fins' on both sides of the hull are used to complete maneuvering or stabilize the course in high-speed navigation. In addition, Huogu also modified the design of the new individual and the'fin' of the gourd to some extent, Can shrink back into the body, just like a tortoise.

　　 Power system. Inside this cone, there are two power systems, one is the original jet propulsion.

　　 Huogu did not give up this kind of propulsion method, but mainly fancy this ‘recyclable in water’ feature, so it was retained as a conventional propulsion method.

　　 Corresponding to the conventional propulsion method, the other is a rocket propulsion with a metal sodium column as the core, which is a consumable propulsion method.

　　The chemical properties of sodium metal are very active, especially after contact with water, huge energy will be released immediately.

Someone once did an experiment, throwing two fist-sized sodium metal into the river, the power caused was not much worse than that of a grenade, and this was not a one-time release. The explosion continued several times, the waves in the river It was lifted to a height of seven or eight meters, and the surface explosion did not stop until the metal sodium did not know where it was thrown by the reaction force of the explosion.

The inside of the 　　 cone is divided into two areas by Huo Guqi, the front part and the back part. The head mainly carries the sensory cells and is used to expand the life field.

　　 The extended coverage radius of the cone’s life field has reached a distance of about one nautical mile, which is 36 times higher than the original gourd.

The rear part is equipped with jet propulsion, and the design is still the same as before. There are openings that can automatically open and close on the slope. During regular propulsion, the microorganisms in the water are swallowed, digested in the small digestion chamber, and then used as a jet medium to transport to The water storage cavity at the rear sprays out.

　　 The only difference from the previous one is that the water storage cavity occupies a much smaller proportion of the body, and several small water storage cavities provide propulsion in the water.

　　 Rocket propulsion is different. The sodium column is located on the central axis and runs through the front and back parts.

　　This kind of advancement method is an escape method in the event of a catastrophic event, and it can enter a very high speed in a short time.

　　 Of course, there are disadvantages. How far and fast you can run depends entirely on the amount of fuel. Compared with other elements, sodium metal, which is a reaction fuel, can be used to describe the time it takes to make it.

　　 So it was arranged by Huogu as the propulsion method used when fleeing.

　　 At the end of the cone, there are six grooves corresponding to the tentacles. This is specially designed by Huogu to allow the gourd to ride the newly designed cluster individuals.

　　 Nothing can be perfect. While a large body size brings many benefits to new individuals, UU reading www.uukanshu.com also means that some limitations will accompany it.

　　 And let small individuals like the gourd ride into the new individuals to act together, and they can complement each other well, and each can help each other to accomplish things that the other can't do.

　　 "The design is complete, but I haven't thought of a name yet..."

　　 "What should I call it?"

　　 After solving a problem, Huogu fell into another entangled dilemma.

　　 "The design template is a straight-shelled Nautilus, which is similar in appearance to a snail... So the title should have the word "snail"."

　　 "The shell is made of titanium alloy, which is the most significant difference from the straight shell Nautilus, so it should also have the word'titanium'..."

　　 "To sum it up, it's called...'titanium snail'?"

When 　　 said the name, Huogu obviously felt an inexplicable strange feeling, as if he had heard the word somewhere, but he couldn't remember it.

　　I thought about it for a long time, but couldn't recall why he had such a sense of the name.

　　 If I don't understand it, I just don't want to. Huogu chose to give up. It still has a lot of things to do.

　　 "Forget it, maybe it is the name of an acquaintance. Since it is an acquaintance, it won't be great to borrow it."

　　 "Well, this is the truth."

After saying that, Huogu's attention shifted to the volcanic island and completed the design and production of the titanium snails, and then it was the turn of the volcanic island's renovation project.

　　 If it succeeds, then Huogu will have a relatively stable station. If it fails, it will at most be a volcanic eruption in the form of side leakage, and Huogu will not be threatened at all.

　　 Of course, preparations for running away in the event of an accident are still necessary.
