How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 188 Don't Be Human

The strength of a material is inversely proportional to its volume. The larger the volume, the less effective it will be. On the scale of a human body, the carapace of insects is as strong as cardboard. Can be cut apart.

Perpetually, their ever-higher giant structures are gradually showing signs of wobbling.

However, all of this was already expected.

Transportation team, move the materials there!

Tens of millions of collectors form a team that stretches for several miles between the beehive and the giant structure site, and the bottom of the giant structure that delivers the substances wrapped in mucus like an assembly line.

Water, and water! Erection of rhizomes!

The rhizomes leading to the ocean first establish contact with the hive, filter salt and impurities through the hive, and the rhizomes transport water from the hive to the giant structure.

When the Eternity gets a signal from the giant's life field, it then responds to the giant.

Are there enough resources?

In this case, I allow you to proceed to the next stage.

The megastructure assembly that received the answer is gradually changing, its outer wall is falling off little by little, the layers are gradually showing signs of spiral dislocation, the height is also decreasing, and the overall cell density is increasing.

The three vertical spiral metal strips are more and more obvious on the outer wall of the giant structure. With this structure, the strength is further improved under the premise of the same material.

The interior of the giant structure also changed, and those messy life support circuits were directly overthrown, and transformed into a more direct and efficient nutrient supply circuit.

After the structure is stabilized, the height continues to climb, but compared to before, due to the increase in density, the required material is also doubled. If the material required for each meter of rise is 1 unit, then the structure changes. , 10 units of material are required for each rise of one meter.

After that, similar structural changes will continue, and the required material units will increase from ten times to hundreds, and then thousands, ten thousand...

In order to meet the demand for materials, the size and area of ​​the collectors will also continue to expand during the construction of the giant structure. Mountains will be flattened, mountains will be removed, and lakes will be drained and filled.

Unknowingly, the top of the giant structure penetrated into the dense atmosphere, and the thick clouds completely covered the top.

Yongxuan knows that after reaching this height, the difficulty is not as simple as before. The progress of the megastructure project can only be obtained by relying on the life field channel. Moreover, due to the friction of the cloud layer, lightning often appears in the cloud layer, and the metal triggers the lightning. , so in the process of lifting the giant structure, being struck by lightning is almost inevitable.

Great wind! Strong wind is coming!

Suddenly, Yongxuan received such a piece of information from the field of life.

It's not just the violent blast that came out of nowhere, and violently impacted the giant structure under construction. The environment in the Hadean period was extremely harsh. This kind of strong wind is even stronger than this.

Hold on! Hold on to me!

In the strong wind, the giant structure swayed more and more violently, and it seemed that it might fall at any time. In the design, Si did not consider such a strong wind, because it had never been seen on the planet, so there was no A targeted force analysis of the megastructure is carried out for this situation.

The giant structure wailed, just like those motherships in the interstellar war some time ago, they all reached the limit of stress they could bear.

As a result of fate, as the collapse progressed, the clouds were torn into two halves, and the friction of the air caused a thunderous scream, and the giant structure collapsed like this. Tens of thousands of foragers, as well as countless individual foragers who were part of the megastructure collection, died in the roar of the collapse.

Yongxuan was stunned for a while, and suddenly thought of something, showing a very aggressive and ferocious posture.

Ming! You did it! Why did you do that?

Perpetuity immediately thought of the biggest suspect, the guy who can create this abnormal climate, there is nothing but the will of the planet under their feet.

【failed. 】

What did you say?

[Which one is stronger, the alien's attack or the wind that has strengthened a little? 】

...

[Don't you want to become stronger? 】

[This is your determination? 】

...

[Huogu said that you have extraordinary potential, I was looking forward to it, so this wind blows, the result is just like this. 】

[It's really far away. 】

Ming's words were like a heavy hammer, bombarding Yongxuan's heart, and what's even more ironic is that it couldn't find a reason to refute for a while.

……I see.

Ming, we will prove it to you.

The simple conversation has a dignified atmosphere, all because this exchange is based on the premise that thousands of collectors were killed or injured.

Perpetuity sends the information back to Si, and now this huge structure is not enough to fight against the master of the climate, and they need more sophisticated design.

Of course, there is also the exchange of information between Yongxuan and Ming just now.

[Is that all right? 】

After playing the bad guys, Ming, who dealt a 'heavy punch' to the perpetuals, established contact with Huogu again.

Well, that's enough.

I will trouble you more later.

[By the way, Hogu, you don’t need to force yourself like this. If the casualties of the gatherers really make you feel uncomfortable, I will stop my actions. 】

No, just come like this, I don't mind.

It would be a lie to say that he doesn't mind, Ming can feel Hogu's restlessness, even though he is trying to suppress it.

【…】

Sensing Ming's hesitant emotions, Huo Gu, who was worried that Ming would release water because of him, took the initiative to reply.

They hope to become stronger, and I also hope that they become stronger. For this reason, everything is fine. Death is inevitable. They should 'grow up' and get used to it.

...Or, I should get used to the fact that 'gatherers will die'.

About this matter, I'm sorry for dragging you into the water, and I won't blame you for it, Ming, I don't have that qualification.

Huogu is a human being, he was in the past, and he is still in the present. As long as he is a human being, he will be bound by so-called emotions, and then make a series of irrational behaviors.

It could have taken a more rational and prudent approach to the matter of the aliens, but it didn't, because the aliens slaughtered the collectors, which made it feel angry, so it responded in the most extreme way, 'war'.

From an objective point of view, this is irrational and dangerous, so Huo Gu felt that perhaps the 'human' should be abandoned.

【Oh well. 】

[So why don't you play the 'bad guy' yourself? So cunning. 】

Ming complained angrily, indeed from Ming's point of view, Huo Gu's actions somewhat harmed others and benefited himself.

I can't do it...
