How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 32: Shooting base

   After having a certain target, one of the gourds living on the tail of the Titanium snail carefully left the area covered by the seabed curtain.

   When moving in the water, it always moves against the seabed, following the trajectory of the ocean current as much as possible, so that even a submarine with a military sonar cannot capture the active individual that exists in the water.

   will it be discovered by the existence of something that doesn't know what it is, Huogu himself has no bottom, this is the degree to which it can be the most concealed as possible.

   Gourd was driven by the flow and came to a place one nautical mile away from the titanium snail's position, which is the edge covered by the titanium snail's life field, and further forward, Huogu could not issue instructions to the gourd.

The area where the gourd came is a piece of sand that exists on the bottom of the sea, and no large rocks can be seen. This is the result of repeated scouring of the water under the sea. It will take a long time before this planet may exist like the earth. The kind of fine sand on the beach.

   The division began, and the cells on the gourd were divided under Huogu's instructions, and the number changed from one to two.

   The original gourd sank to the sand after the split was completed. This is to minimize the interference of the sea current on the position of the gourd. The gourd covered with carbon nanofibers does not need to worry, because the coarse sand on the seabed will scratch the skin.

   The gourd swings the fins on both sides, burying himself in the sand and hiding it well.

   The split gourd individual continued to set off and traveled farther.

   During this period, when encountering submarine volcanoes or islands, it will choose a slight deflection direction, and the overall direction is not necessarily straight, but no matter how it changes, it will always be ‘away from the hidden position of the titanium snail’ that will not change.

   In this way, quite a long time has passed. How long has passed Huogu is not clear. It feels like this. At this time, the chain of command has extended hundreds of nautical miles, and the command delay phenomenon has become more and more serious.

   "It's almost this distance...Even if humans use satellites at this distance, without understanding the life field, it is absolutely impossible to follow the vine to find me."

   said that, but Huogu still extended the distance to more than a hundred nautical miles out of the principle of caution...

   The gourd individual farthest away no longer performs the same splitting behavior as the previous gourd individuals, but changed its gene expression sequence under Huogu's instructions.

   This gourd sank to the bottom of the sea. This is a rocky section with gravel everywhere. Just like the coastline of the volcanic island, there is an undersea volcano not far away.

   The gourd that sank to the bottom of the lake no longer maintains the shape of a gourd. It has become a meat ball, and it is still expanding and beating, like an independent heart.

   The sphere grows bigger and bigger. The interior of the sphere is no longer full of entities, but a liquid environment. In the center of the sphere, a small green tire can be vaguely seen from the outside of the membrane.

   In order to maintain its own strength, the gradually expanding sphere feels that it is thickening its own structure. In this way, the embryo in the sphere completes its own shape and internal organ development in a fairly stable environment.

   Finally, the fully developed creature inside used its titanium alloy fangs to pierce the sphere from the inside out.

   The creature stretched its body, and something that looked like a creature but didn't want to be a creature appeared on the bottom of the sea.

A large life form similar to a small hill, it is cone-shaped, with a radius of 10 meters at the bottom and a height of 14 meters. There are six huge mouths at the bottom that are close to the seabed, and there is also a huge mouth at the top. Its cone has Lots of tiny holes, and rows of titanium alloy spikes.

   The core sensory cells are buried in the ground. Huogu did not consider allowing such a big man to move in the water at the beginning of the design.

The skeleton of the titanium alloy provides sufficient strength to support this level of general shape under the premise of resisting the seabed water pressure. The skin is a composite skin constructed by multiple layers of carbon nanofibers and protein, and the outermost side is also attached with titanium. Alloy scale armor.

   This monster-like thing agitated the body under instructions, the big mouth at the top sucked in sea water frantically, and then the water flow would be discharged from the six mouths at the bottom.

   is just such a simple process, a large amount of protein is collected.

   The rhizomes began to grow from the bottom of this monster. These rhizomes are also different from those on volcanic islands. There are no rhizomes like the main roots. They are all uniform in thickness and intertwined with each other to form a net-like structure covering the seabed.

If you zoom in to the point where you can observe the cell structure, you can find that these rhizomes are made up of countless smaller rhizomes. The core of the small rhizomes is carbon nanotubes, and the resource compatibility of all the small rhizomes is different. It means that while the strength is further improved, this newly designed rhizome system can handle all types of resources.

   The most important point is that these rhizomes produce oxygen at all times, collect volcanic heat, or water temperature and heat, and react with the acid and alkali elements in the water.

This is designed to prevent microorganisms from attacking the rhizome system~lightnovelpub.net~ High concentrations of oxygen can destroy cell membranes. In this era of anaerobic microorganisms, it is definitely a powerful killer, and more importantly It is very easy to prepare, and carbon dioxide is everywhere in the atmosphere.

   The microorganisms killed by oxygen will settle down and then be collected by the rhizome system.

   Of course, this is a secondary function. Its main function is to absorb the compound in the covered area and transport it to the cone-shaped organism. The two sides are in a complementary relationship.

   Under the protein feeding of cone-shaped organisms, the extended rhizome system is advancing all the way, covering the water area with cone-shaped organisms as the core radius of 6 kilometers.

   During this period, the cone-shaped creatures used the remaining organic materials to make a large number of gourds. Under Huogu's instructions, the gourd group would go to the edge of the life field, where they would ‘bury’ themselves and transform into cone-shaped creatures.

   In this situation, the coverage area is expanding geometrically and explosively. If you encounter a volcano, the rhizome system will not be let go. Except for places with ultra-high temperatures such as volcanic craters, all areas will be covered.

At the beginning of the design, Huogu also considered the issue of sustainable development. If it is too reckless, the result is likely to be that the planet is still in the ecosystem of its infancy and died prematurely. It does not want to see this. Things happened.

  As a researcher of paleontology, learning to respect them is the most basic moral code.

The metabolism of the rhizome system is faster than that of the previous generation. The lifespan of a single cell is very short. After the cell dies, it will gradually accumulate to form organic matter similar to mud. For microorganisms, this is an extremely nutritious delicacy. .

   When this coverage area expanded to more than two hundred nautical miles, it finally drew the attention of the unknown existence again.
