Chapter XVIII

As the last gap in the cavity is filled by sensing cells, the extended organs of the life field are completed.

Through the perception of the water flow by the fins on both sides, Huo Gu could clearly feel that the cell cluster was sinking little by little, and the reason for this was precisely from the newly created life field expansion organs, which was understood in another way, which was equivalent to an extra big stone inside the cell cluster.

"I didn't expect the weight to have gained so much, so I still took the last step as soon as possible, I hope it works."

Adjust the orientation of the fins, and the downward momentum suddenly slows down.

Hogu instructed the individual cells to be split out of the water storage chamber and then expelled from the cluster of cells along with the compressed jets of water.

At the same time, Hogu adjusted the vitreous of his eye, locking on to the cell that was emitting a cluster of cells.

"Now, start transcribing genes and copy yourself."

Hogu instructed the experimental cells that had been excluded from the cluster of cells, and whether the experiment would succeed or not would depend on what kind of results would follow.

Under Hogu's intently watchful gaze, it was delighted that the experimental cell had indeed split in response, and after collecting enough amino acid material, it began to replicate new instances.

This also indicates that its idea is indeed valid, and the scope of the life field of the unknown body has indeed been expanded.

Huogu, who got the result, couldn't wait to give the order again, this time, the target of the order was an entire cluster of cells.

The cells are divided, and all the cells in the whole cluster are dividing.

The whole process is like the self-replication of cells, with a central axis appearing in the middle, and with this central axis as a mirror, the cell clusters stretch to both sides, and complete the missing parts.

In just a few moments, a new cluster of cell replicas was born.

"Good!"

Hogu gazed at the 'mirror image' of this cluster of cells with satisfaction, and it found that its field of vision had increased again, accompanied by an indescribable feeling.

This feeling is the 'pleasure' that can only be felt by completing the intercellular bonding again and again when the mind is not fully restored at the beginning.

The shackles that imprisoned me have been untied again!

"It seems that I have not chosen the wrong path......"

"From now on, you're Cluster Two."

Hogu defined the new cluster of cells to make it easier to distinguish it from the original cluster, and at the same time, defined the original cluster as number one.

"Next up is the test."

"No. 2, a straight line away from No. 1, test the maximum distance of the life field, during this period I will continue to transmit command signals, if I can no longer receive the command signal, I will immediately turn around and return."

Cluster 2, which received the instruction, immediately activated the water storage chamber and quickly distanced itself from cluster 1.

This process, No. 1's visual system, has been watching intently.

When No. 2 returned, Huo Gu immediately knew what the radius of this life field was, which was easy, and it was easy to complete through optical path ranging.

"50m, plus or minus 4m."

Huo Gu couldn't help but be glad that he had prepared before, otherwise he would have to spend a lot more time to do some other things, such as understanding the concept of how long 'one meter' is.

Every time he thinks about this, Hogu has to admire the protagonists in the online novels who have traveled to the Stone Age, and without any tools, they can find the specific definition of the length of 'one meter', because it can't do such accurate blind guesses.

Compared to them, Hogu found the 'one meter' method is much more troublesome, the diameter of the water molecule is 4×10^-10m, it arranges a million water molecules in a straight line, and then gets the length unit of 'one centimeter', and then multiplies this distance by a hundred, thus getting the concept of 'one meter'.

"It's a lot better than I originally thought would be a few meters, but 50 meters is still too short."

After a while, Cluster 2 returned to its starting location, and Hogu gave another order, the same as before, but this time it was slightly different, that is, there was a new individual cluster, which was Number Three.

Three set off before Two returned to the Origin Ground, heading to the edge of the life field that Two had just arrived, and Hogu instructed it to stay at the edge of the life field.

This time, Number Two went straight past Number Three's position and went even further.

"Very good, the relay station experiment was successful."

Hogu knew that it had taken another big step forward, and that it was a formal change, and that the success of the relay instruction meant that it could expand the instruction to infinity if there were enough clusters of cells.

Of course, as the distance increases, there may be a delay in the arrival time of the command.

"Two, stop at the edge of receiving the command."

Following the instructions, the fins on both sides of the second changed angles and came to a stop after gliding for a certain distance.

Then came the last experiment, and with the first two successful experiments, Hogu was full of confidence this time.

"Transfer!"

“……”

I was stunned for a while, and nothing happened.

"It must be me in the wrong position, well, come again."

"I'll jump!"

“……”

This time it was the same as the last time, nothing happened.

"Strange, why can't I move to the cell clusters of number two and three?"

"Isn't it already possible to build a network of life fields? It stands to reason that I should be able to get to No. 2 and No. 3. ”

After pondering for a while, Huo Gu had no choice but to give up, he didn't even know what kind of mechanism the field source was, so naturally he didn't know where to start.

"Wouldn't I be trapped in this cluster of cells?"

Huo Gu complained bitterly, but it couldn't find the crux of the problem, what was going on.

The last experiment is to change the boarding body, just like changing clothes, take off the old clothes and put on new clothes, but the problem now is that the old clothes can't be taken off, and the new clothes can't be changed.

In the end, this experiment was undoubtedly a failure.

"In that case, then I can't let Cluster 1 risk it anymore......"

"Fortunately, this time it was not without gains."

The eyes of the cell clusters all turned to the column of smoke that had risen from the bottom of the sea nearby.

"Number two, let's go to the nearby alkaline waters to explore the situation."

"Forward Three as a relay station."

"One is on standby to create more clusters of cells for relaying instructions."

Huo Gu remembered the alkaline waters that made it itch and curious, and with its current ability, there was nothing to fear.

No. 2 and No. 3 were swaying towards the plume of smoke from the alkaline volcano, and the new cluster of cells, No. 1, was also working intensively.
