How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 14 Tour

As it moved away from the bottom of the water, the strange rocks around the cell clusters gradually became thinner, and the water used as the injection medium was also gradually exhausted at this time.

At this time, it is necessary to use inertia to fill the water storage cavity with water.

"Open the water inlet valve...huh?!"

Something beyond Hogu's expectations happened.

After absorbing the water for a while, the water inlet pipes fit together to form a blockage, completely unable to guide the water flow.

Such an accident directly caused the jet propulsion to be unable to continue, and the speed of cell clustering gradually slowed down.

As the speed decreases, the fit of the water inlet returns to the previous state where the pipes were separated.

"Bernoulli's principle..."

"How did I forget this?"

After watching the whole process of pipeline changes, Huo Gu realized what the problem was.

Bernoulli's principle is a basic law in fluid mechanics that applies only to ideal fluids with negligible viscosity and incompressibility.

That is, the faster the flow rate, the lower the pressure.

This law can be easily expressed in some small experiments, for example, if blowing between two pieces of paper, the pieces of paper will stick together.

The reason for the bonding is because of the pressure. Blow air between the paper sheets to reduce the pressure in the middle of the air flow, so the paper sheets are bonded together.

The same situation also happened in the water inlet pipe, except that it was not the flow of air that caused the pressure to decrease, but the flow of water.

"This water inlet seems to be unusable..."

If you want to avoid the fitting of the pipes, you need to thicken the walls of the pipes and use the structure to resist the pressure...

"But in this way, the meaningless weight will also increase..."

In order to ensure the speed, how to use the quality efficiently has become Hogu's primary concern.

It would be great if there was a channel connecting the outside and introducing water into the cell cluster...

"Wait, isn't there one here?"

Huogu, who was in a tangle, locked his attention on the digestive cavity, which is connected to the mouth and divided into six small parts.

Huo Gu was pleasantly surprised, and muttered to himself with a little annoyance.

"Why didn't I think of it earlier?"

The debugging came to an end, Huogu re-blocked the water inlet of the cell cluster, and the water storage cavity was connected to the digestive cavity instead.

Then, the six small digestive cavities and the large water storage cavity are separated by six small valves.

Under the surface of the digestive cavity, Huogu added muscle cells, so that the process of squeezing water into the water storage cavity can be realized.

When the digestive cavity has digested all the microorganisms in the water, the water will be pushed into the water storage cavity as a spray medium, and at the same time, the rapid movement can also facilitate the rapid capture of microorganisms.

After debugging, Hogu set sail again.

The route this time is not the same as the vertical upwards before, it is an oblique upward glide.

In the past, Huo Gu acted as a last resort in order to be able to quickly get rid of the dangerous area of ​​the volcano.

In fact, the vertical upstream behavior like it is very dangerous. If one is not good, it may explode as a whole due to the difference in water pressure between the inner and outer waters of the cell cluster.

As the altitude climbed, Huogu's field of vision was also gradually enlarged. The star-like bright spots of hydropower and the soaring smoke column fully introduced to him how many active power stations there are at the bottom of this water area. volcano.

"my God……"

"The water in this place, even if it doesn't reach boiling water, should be about 70 or 80 degrees?"

The altitude continued to rise, and due to the turbidity of the water, gradually, Huogu could only see sporadic bright spots, and later, he couldn't see anything at all, and the surroundings were pitch black with nothing.

Without the glimmer of light brought by the volcano, Hogu couldn't see anything.

"Fortunately, fortunately, I thought of this possibility early on and made second-hand preparations."

Huogu secretly thanked himself for his foresight, its perspective became different again, the whole world seemed to be divided by criss-crossing thin lines, and those were lines of magnetic induction.

And the thing that brought Huogu this ability is precisely a very small part of ferric oxide hidden in each cell, commonly known as 'magnet'.

However, what happened next was completely beyond Hogu's expectations.

The lines of magnetic field trembled like a convulsion, gradually changing, and Huo Guman watched all this in disbelief.

There are still criss-cross magnetic lines of induction, but it is completely different from the previous layout.

After a long time, Huo Gu choked out a word.

"...Where is this broken place?"

The magnetic field is disordered, Huogu quickly summed up the phenomenon, and came to such a conclusion, which also means that the magnetic induction in this place has become useless.

Because the magnetic induction Huogu has 100% certainty, after all, it is just a simple compass principle. At that time, it did not think about testing it.

So, until now it is discovered that the magnetic field is disordered where it is located.

"This place is in the water after all, as long as you keep moving upwards, it's right... right?"

It is true to say so, but Huo Gu can always faintly feel a sense of uneasiness that does not know where it came from.

Assuming it was his own psychological effect after escaping from the volcano, Hogu made up his mind and continued to slide upwards.

With the digestive cavity as a relay, the jet propulsion has a long-lasting endurance. As long as the microorganisms in the water are not extinct and the protein and amino acids are sufficient, the propulsion method such as cell clusters can move continuously for several days.

I don't know how long I have been skating up, and I don't know how far. After all, there is no reference, or timing machine. There are many things, and Hogu can't give an accurate picture.

At this moment, there is still nothing around, but the changes have been particularly obvious. There is no longer the almost complete darkness, but there is already a certain degree of visibility, and Hogu can still feel the changes in the flow through the cilia.

The water gradually becomes neutral, which is a doomsday for acidophilic bacteria, but it is not a problem for Hogu. As long as the cell membrane is properly adjusted to a certain extent, it can be compared to avoiding the inactivation of the cell membrane.

"It must be a very 'lively' place up there, maybe I should be more careful..."

The more he slid upwards, the more Huogu could feel the great movement. The water flow was gurgling before, or even no flow at all, but now it is surging.

Relying on the movement of its fins, Huo Gu steered the current very carefully, saying that he would take a look at the situation above, and taking risks to satisfy his curiosity was his usual practice.

If it hadn't been an old bone when it was a human being, it would have to board the rocket, run to the Mars base, and see those humanoid skeletons with its own eyes.

Taking advantage of the momentum, increasing strength, when the two waves intersected, the cell cluster broke through the water from the burst point of strength!
