How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 46 The First Confrontation

The familiar tornado column is still the familiar size, with a diameter of one kilometer. It will make the sky turbulent and the sea rough, like a living dragon, releasing its power.

But now, such a giant, such a terrifying guy, looks so insignificant in the face of the octahedron made by Hogu.

At this time, the octahedron covers an area of ​​50 square kilometers, which is 50 times larger than the area of ​​the tornado column, which is approximately one square kilometer. From the perspective of the octahedron, the tornado column It's probably equivalent to the feeling of an adult looking at a rope extending from the second floor.

Huogu stared coldly at the sudden appearance of the tornado column, all kinds of emotions surged up in his heart, but they were all suppressed by it. What he needed now was only one state—calmness.

"Accelerate the growth, increase the absorption of methane, prepare each muscle cell, and strengthen the precision of the scale..."

Huogu gave out instructions one by one in an orderly manner, and the tornado column seemed to be angered by the octahedron ignoring its self-growth. After a few trials, it launched an attack brazenly.

The tornado column directly moved forward to cover a part of the octahedron, and in the area occupied by the tornado column, the velocity of the air increased to the point where it could directly cause physical damage.

The lower part of the tornado column is like a living electric drill. Even though Huogu had prepared in advance, the tornado column still twisted it to a bloody mess.

After a round of attacks, an ugly scar several kilometers long appeared on one face of the octahedron, exposing the dark skeleton on the surface of the octahedron.

Huo Gudu watched the whole process coldly and rationally, and then issued new instructions to the octahedron.

"Increase methane absorption, increase body temperature, accelerate metabolism, adjust the thickness of tendons, thicken bones, and increase load-bearing capacity..."

Under Huo Gu's instructions, the octahedron was adjusted, and the wound quickly healed without leaving any scars. At the same time, the color of the dark scales on the surface faintly turned reddish, and a lot of steam came out.

"It's impolite to come and not to go, you have to accept this 'meeting gift'."

"emission!"

As soon as the order was issued, more than twenty titanium snails lurking in the nearby ocean jumped out of the water one after another, relying on the propulsion generated by liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen, they rushed towards the top of the tornado column.

The height of the tornado column has reached more than 10,000 meters. Even the titanium snails whose speed can cause a sonic boom still take half a minute.

With lightning speed, the titanium snails rushed into the clouds above the tornado column without fear.

Inside the cumulonimbus cloud, the dense electric arcs flickered all the time, like sharks smelling blood, and immediately set their sights on the group of intruders, the titanium snails.

A large number of lightning strikes, and the titanium snails at the speed of sound are like snails in front of the lightning that can move at the speed of light. Of course, the lightning strike detonated the liquid hydrogen and oxygen inside the titanium snails, and the explosion flowers dyed the surrounding cumulonimbus clouds. other colors.

However, on the ground, after receiving the signal that the titanium snails were wiped out, Hogu not only did not express disappointment, but instead looked at the tornado column with anticipation—it knew that its goal had been achieved.

The tornado column in the distance looked like a drunken cripple, swaying, as if it might fall over at any time, and hit the ground heavily, very unstable.

Soon, after a few minutes, the terrifying tornado column dissipated from top to bottom.

When the equatorial hot and humid air mass advances towards the two poles, while the high-altitude dry and cold air mass invades, vortex motion will occur and thick cumulonimbus clouds will be formed. Generates a strong air current, also known as a tornado.

After the titanium snails entered the upper cumulonimbus cloud of the tornado column, they would be attacked by lightning, Huogu knew it early in the morning.

Whether it's a tapered sharp head or a metal shell, there is no reason for Thunderbolt to let go of the titanium screw, because this is exactly the characteristic of Thunderbolt, its physical law-point discharge and arc discharge.

Lightning detonated the titanium screw, and the source of the explosion was the liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen used as propellant fuel. However, this explosion was an insufficient explosion. Only a small part of the liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen participated in the exothermic explosion, and more What's more, the shock wave generated by the explosion was thrown to every corner of the cumulonimbus cloud.

Losing the pressure of the container, liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen quickly return to hydrogen and oxygen in the cumulonimbus cloud, and this process is endothermic.

A tornado needs to rely on the heat energy provided by the clouds to maintain its own state. During the Hadean Era, the temperature of the clouds was even higher than that of a steam boiler, which is why it was so powerful.

Huogu took advantage of this to forcibly lower the temperature inside the cumulonimbus cloud, and the tornado column naturally couldn't continue to maintain its state.

The so-called natural phenomenon is like this. All conditions must be met, and any link must be missing, otherwise it will never be triggered.

The octahedron did not slow down the speed of continuing to expand its body shape. It received instructions to keep expanding its own body shape, and other things had nothing to do with it.

It seemed that this inflated form stimulated the unknown enemy, and the thunder and lightning from the clouds fell like rain, and more than ten tornado columns were regenerated at once.

It's a pity that lightning is not even drizzle to the octahedron. At least the drizzle will make some sound when it falls on the scales. As soon as the thunder and lightning fall on the octahedron, it is guided into the earth by the scales or bones. It may seem dangerous to a bystander.

The only ones that really pose a threat to the octahedron are the giant tornado columns connecting the sky and the earth.

At this time, the giant tornado columns are gradually approaching the octahedron.

"How could it be possible for you to succeed?"

Huogu immediately issued an order. This time, hundreds of titanium snails rushed out of the water and launched a surprise attack on those tornado columns. This time, they were no longer the prey that hid in Tibet, but those that could show their fangs to the hunter. Beast!

Suddenly, just as the titanium snail group reached the high altitude, a thunderstorm broke out in the cumulonimbus cloud, and dense arcs fell, each of which reached a level of 100 million volts.

The enemy is not a fool, it is impossible not to be unprepared for what happened before, and it is difficult to repeat the old tricks to achieve the previous effect.

The group of tornado columns directly enveloped the octahedron, and seemed to intend to rely on each other's terrifying wind speeds to forcefully dismember the huge octahedron.

But they were wrong, very wrong.

"It's a pity. It's a step late. You took precautions. How could I not have taken precautions against you?"

Far different from the previous result, this time, the octahedron was unscathed under the joint attack of the tornado column!
