How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 21 - 21 Island

Chapter 21: Chapter 21 Island

After correcting the new opponent, the new macro organism design has also been upgraded. At the same time, Huo Gu also has the intention to pay attention to the surrounding environment.

This is an alkaline water, and the most powerful proof is the high concentration of the free metal compound in the aqueous solution.

For acidic aquatic organisms, this is the place of death. Entering means death. Their life mechanism that can resist strong acids does not help them resist the erosion of strong bases.

However, this is not difficult for the gourd group with Huo Gu, a super-thinking group. Adjusting the internal and external osmotic pressure of the cell membrane, as well as the screening mechanism, the transformation of the gourd group from acidophilic organisms to alkaloids.

There are three volcanoes nearby, two in the water and one on the water. The cooling of the lava has formed a volcanic island that is still releasing gray smoke and dust into the atmosphere.

The whole island is black. Between the cracks of the stone, you can faintly see the bright red like blood. The rain falls on it, emitting wisps of thin smoke. From a distance, it looks like it has just been fished out of the fire.

"Land in the ancient era..."

His heart suddenly moved, and the super wave that had been encountered before could sweep the whole sea, and then his attention was focused on the volcanic island in front of him.

"Isn't there a perfect 'shelter'?"

Huo Gu couldn't wait to look at the lava island in the distance and issued instructions to the gourd group.

It is the same as before, in order to ensure the safety of exploration.

However, with the previous experience, the unfolding time of this formation has been shortened a lot. With the delay adjustment, Huo Gu has also become familiar with it.

As it gets closer to the shore and the higher the water temperature, Huogu can see that the volcanic islands are immersed in water, and the ellipsoid or pillow-shaped shape formed when the hot lava cools is also known as pillow-shaped lava.

This part is mainly located at the bottom of the volcanic island, while the middle part is a columnar joint. Due to the rapid cooling and contraction of the lava, cracks in the vertical cooling surface are often formed, and they are parallel to each other, so these pentagonal or hexagonal long stone columns appear.

In addition, as it gets closer to the volcanic island, the interference of the waves is more and more obvious. Coupled with the command delay, for Huo Gu, the difficulty of operation of the gourd in the front has increased sharply.

Fortunately, there is no solution. The width of the Huqun exploration formation increases, and the fault tolerance rate increases.

After a lot of twists and turns, the gourd group was finally able to get close to this volcanic island.

The first gourds rode the waves as the first animals to land on the planet.

However, the good news did not always take care of Huo Gu's side. All the gourds who climbed to the land died.

In this regard, Huo Gu did not have too many emotional fluctuations, because these gourds were originally going up to die, all in order to understand what dangers exist on the sea.

These gourds die in a variety of ways.

There are factors of atmospheric composition. There is not only carbon dioxide with a concentration of explosive concentration in the atmosphere, but also excessive amounts of methane, sulfur dioxide and other elements.

Without preparation, these elements are sucked into the body by the gourd, which has an impact on the material circulation inside the gourd. In addition, the pressure in the water and air is not the same, which eventually leads to death.

Some of them died of trauma. There was no fine sand in the ancient world. There were stones everywhere, and the stones with edges and corners on the coast accounted for the vast majority. Most of the gourds washed up on the coast were pulled out of large openings. Without the external limbs similar to feet returning to the sea, the whole cells died of dehydration.

There are also quite a few gourds, which barely adapt to the strange atmospheric environment. They have not been destroyed by stones or a very small part of them, and they have not survived.

The reason is the microbiome that lives on the island. Long before the arrival of the gourd, there were 'indigenous people' on the island. They were washed up to the land by the waves and occupied the volcanic island earlier than Hogu.

Because the land is not as good as the ocean, there are almost no organic macromolecules such as amino acids, proteins, phosphate groups, etc. Huo Gu used the original method to kill the microorganisms that invaded the gourd body, and the stored organic materials were quickly exhausted. You know, the maintenance of cells' own life activities also relied on these. Organic materials.

Therefore, the last survivor of this batch of gourds died of hunger.

"Shit... If you say so, shouldn't you..."

Huo Gu suddenly found that the second way of death was very similar to the unknown attack he had suffered during the previous wave.

In the Hadesian period, there should be no large macroscopic organisms other than microorganisms, that is to say, the unknown object that penetrates the gourd group should be inanimate.

In this way, it is easy to understand that not only the gourd group is wrapped in the super wave, but also the stones rolling in the wave.

Think about it, it is easy to understand to put pebbles and water balloons into the washing machine on the side reel.The pebbles given kinetic energy by the washing machine will not be polite to the water balloons that burst at the touch, so it created a miserable situation in the tide at that time.

"Therefore, in order to avoid encountering that danger again, a safe haven is necessary and a stable environment can bring protection to survival."

This is a compromise decision. Although it is very risky to build a stronghold on an active volcanic island, this is undoubtedly the best option before designing a biological engine that can bring higher speed to the gourd.

Moreover, after the end of the Hadesic period, it was also Huo Gu's goal to march on land. It's better to accumulate more experience for future plans now.

"The structure of the gourd is really useful in the liquid environment, but on land..."

Without the support of water buoyancy, the gravitational effect is highlighted, and the physiological structure determines that the gourd is not suitable for moving on land.

The various arms and thighs of the organism floated through Huo Gu's thoughts, and then were immediately denied. There was no other reason, and the energy consumption was too high. The protein amino acids collected alone were quite troublesome and a waste of time.

Huo Gu's eyes are located in the columnar joints in the middle of the nautical island, and the hexagonal stone columns look more like the performance art of human sculpture.

"Maybe... I can learn plants..."

"Yes, plants, why must they be limited to the shape of animals? Plants should also be a good choice.

"Wait, if it's a plant, can I..."

At the moment when the idea appeared, it was like a run-kone wild horse, with an uncontrollable expansion, occupying Huo Gu's whole mind in an instant.

Plants are just an introduction. What really makes Huo Gu excited and uncontrollable is the extension of this introduction, which is a bolder idea.
