How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 28 Volcano Reconstruction Plan

The main roots grow from the bottom of the sea to the land, wading directly over the beach that took the lives of the gourds, and headed for the highest point of the volcanic island.

Soon, taproots intersected with the two previous taproots that landed in the crater.

After the confluence, the roots of the taproot took root deeply in the surrounding terrain and expanded and grew among the stone piles.

The microscopic structure of the rock is actually not solid, and the roots of the molecular scale can easily penetrate into the rock formation, and criss-cross deeply without hindrance.

Very well, the fixed rock formation is complete.

Hogu, who had already transferred himself inside the titanium snail, watched with satisfaction the progress of the rhizome system on the volcanic island.

After encountering that super wave, Huo Gu was inspired. If he uses physical methods to realize the transfer of hardware, he can transfer his own thinking body to other cell cluster individuals in a disguised form.

From this, a new type of rhizome is extended. The interior of the rhizome is mainly sensory cells. This kind of rhizome is used to bridge the nodular mass on the seabed and the sensing area of ​​the titanium snail, so that the two areas form a whole. When the thinking is transferred to After another area, cut off the physical connection of the rhizome and the transfer is complete.

The roots have established an intricate network structure in the rock formation. In this way, the purpose of strengthening the geological structure of the island is achieved, and the next step can be carried out.

Under Huogu's command, a main root that was obviously many times thicker than other rhizomes on the seabed grew and moved from the seabed to the shore, until it stopped at the foot of the volcano on the island.

Although the appearance of this taproot is the same as other taproots, it is different inside.

It is hollow on the inside, and its bulky exterior is deceiving, in fact it is no different in size from a normal taproot.

The reason why this taproot became like this is because it plays a central role in this plan.

It didn't start out like a crater like the other main roots, and meet the main root. Instead, under Hogu's command, it plunged headlong into the pile of volcanic rock and rubble.

Through the information sent back from this taproot, Huogu could feel a strong resistance, which came from the rock formation. Obviously, this was the result of the taproot being too thick.

Miscalculation, the pressure of the rock formation is greater than expected. Although it is true that the main root can continue to move forward, but at this speed, I am afraid that it will take until a monkey year to dig through.

After Huo Gu was annoyed, he thought of a compromise.

In this case, it will be divided into three areas.

Let the head be reduced to the thickness of the roots first, and it will be the growth area, which is convenient for drilling in the rock formation.

The part behind the head gradually grows to the thickness of a normal taproot and is the elongation zone, responsible for extending the length of the rhizome.

The part behind the elongation zone is the mature zone, and the rhizomes in the elongation zone will fully expand their internal space to form the pipe cavity necessary for the plan.

Well, let's do it!

The rhizomes that received the instructions still grew and moved forward through cell division in the rock formation, but it followed Huo Gu's idea.

The effect is indeed obvious. If you want to describe it, the speed of drilling before is at the level of a person walking, but now, the speed of drilling is like an F1 car.

Hogu could obviously feel the decrease in resistance.

Without a timing tool, Huogu didn't know how long it had passed. He only knew that a considerable period of time had passed. During this period of time, Huogu used the spare organic materials to expand the few titanium snails to three There are more than ten gourds, and the number of gourds has returned to the original level of more than four hundred.

Since there is no light in the stratum, and there is no reference to determine the direction, such things as drilling deviation are very likely to happen. To avoid it, Hogu can only use the information sent back from the entire rhizome system to compare and model with each other, but even Even with this method, there is also the possibility of going astray, so Huo Gu is not fully sure about the one-time success.

When Hogu received a signal, it knew that the rhizome drilling work was finally coming to an end.

The triggering condition of this signal comes from the outside, that is, the unnatural death of the cells in the head of the rhizome.

Huogu immediately gave the order to the rhizome that was being drilled, the elongation zone stopped elongation, and the entire rhizome turned into a mature zone, expanding the internal cavity passage to the limit.

The cells in the elongation zone and the growth zone start to gradually inject carbon dioxide into the cavity of their own part, and use the volume of the gas to expand the cavity channel in the rock formation.

This is how the mature zone expands the cavities, with the gases not the rhizomes themselves fighting the pressure of the rock formation, with negligible energy expended.

Strength is inversely proportional to size, the larger the size of the material, the less strong it is.

As the entire main root is fully developed in the rock formation, only a thin wall is separated from the rhizome, and the lava with a temperature as high as 1,200 degrees Celsius finally broke through the wall and came into contact with the drilled rhizome.

Under such a high temperature, even the high-temperature-resistant cell membrane specially prepared by Huogu is useless. The scorched and carbonized head before the main root was washed away by the lava flow in an instant, and the hollow tube inside the rhizome was completely exposed. In front of the lava flow.

Lava is also a kind of liquid, and it also obeys the law of pressure. Pressure has nothing to do with volume. This law is only related to height. As long as the height of the liquid is higher, the pressure at the bottom of the container will be stronger. This is also the case of the deep sea. The fundamental reason why there is such a strong water pressure but not in the shallow sea.

Now, driven by the water pressure, the lava rushes along the hollow pipe inside the rhizome, and the rhizome cells are destroyed by carbonization wherever it passes. is reserved.

The galloping lava will not always follow the trajectory of the cavity pipe. At the moment it leaves the range of the rock formation, the cavity pipe can no longer form any constraints on the lava flow, and the violent lava flow breaks out of the cavity and spreads out. It seems to turn into thousands of fiery snakes crawling out of hell, rushing towards the sea.

All of this, in Huo Gudu's eyes, is also what he wants to do.

Drilling the rhizome of the mountain is the sacrifice, in order to drill through the foot of the volcano and create a channel for releasing lava.

The lava fluidity of this volcano is very good, and it is not easy to clog. This is the information summarized from the previous investigation and data.

Hogu will continue to create more than a dozen similar passages at the foot of the mountain to increase the amount of lava released. When the lava of a volcano can no longer pose a threat, and can no longer form a closed space that can accumulate pressure, then what danger does it have? What can I say?

This is Hogu's volcanic transformation plan.
