In the waters of a nautical mile from the volcanic island, lies a slender cone, the finished product that Hogu has designed after racking his brains.

The length of the cone has reached eight meters, and its mass is not comparable to that of the previous cell cluster, and even in the rough waves, it only shakes slightly.

This kind of creature, in the period when the biosphere of the Plutozoic was still in the microbial stage, this can already be regarded as the category of 'divine beasts', except for looking up, there is only looking up.

At the end of the cone, there are several tentacles formed by a combination of muscle cells and carbon nanofibers, and have suction cups.

The function and principle of the suction cup are the same as those of the tentacle suction cups of cephalopods, which are to achieve the adsorption effect of objects by secreting mucus and creating a vacuum environment in the suction cups, which are used to adsorb objects, and can also be used to fix the body on an object in turn, and by the way, it can also grasp the direction in high-speed travel.

There are a total of six tentacles like this at the tail end of the cone.

There are four eyes on the cone, three of which are on the bevel of the cone, each observing a 120-degree viewing angle, and the fourth eye is in the center of the tail, ensuring that there are no blind spots.

In order to ensure the safety of the eyes in high-speed travel, the outside of the eyes will be covered with a layer of silicon crystals with a certain carbon content, that is, tempered glass, which is widely used in human civilization.

The conical shell is silvery-white with a silver-gray metallic luster, which is a titanium alloy shell, which is lighter, stronger and less dense than iron of the same volume.

The structure of the shell is divided into three layers, the innermost and outermost layers are titanium alloys, and the two intermediate interlayers are grids constructed of nano-carbon fibers, so that even if the outermost titanium alloy is damaged, the nanofibers of the second layer can also play a good role in counteracting the buffer, and the third layer of titanium alloy can also defend against the attack of the titanium alloy's defense.

The color of the head and shell of the cone is slightly different, and it is steel gray.

This part is not a titanium alloy, but 'chromium', which has a hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale, and as the hardest diamond in nature, it has a hardness of 10 on the Mohs scale, and it is as easy to penetrate the rock as it is to penetrate the soft mud.

Huo Gu did not abandon some of the original designs used on the gourd, but continued to apply them to himself, a newly designed individual.

The two pairs of 'fins' on either side of the shell are used to maneuver at high speeds or to stabilize course, and Hogu has also modified the design of the new individual and the 'fins' of the gourd to allow it to shrink back into the body, like a turtle.

The power system, inside this cone, there are two power systems, one is the original jet propulsion.

Hogu did not give up this method of propulsion, mainly because of the characteristics of 'recyclability in water', so it was retained as a conventional mode of propulsion.

Corresponding to the conventional propulsion method, the other set is the rocket propulsion with the metal sodium pillar as the core, which is a consumable propulsion mode.

Sodium metal is chemically reactive, especially when it comes into contact with water, and a huge amount of energy is released immediately.

Someone once did an experiment, throwing two fist-sized sodium metal into the river, the power of the trigger was not much worse than a grenade, and this was not a one-time release, the explosion continued several times, the waves in the river were lifted to a height of seven or eight meters, until the sodium metal did not know where to be thrown by the reaction force of the explosion, this surface explosion did not stop.

The interior of the cone is divided into two regions by Hogu, the anterior and the posterior, the first of which mainly carries the sensing cells and is used to expand the life field.

The radius of the cone's life field has reached a distance of about one nautical mile, which is thirty-six times higher than that of the original hu.

The rear part is a placement of jet propulsion, and the design is still the same as the original, there is an opening that can be automatically opened and closed on the inclined plane, and during conventional propulsion, the microorganisms in the water are swallowed, digested in a small digestive chamber, and then transported to the water storage chamber located at the rear as a spray medium, and sprayed out.

The only difference is that the water reservoir occupies a much smaller proportion of the body, and it is replaced by several small reservoirs to provide propulsion in the water.

Rocket propulsion is different, the sodium column is in the position of the central axis, and the whole runs through the front and rear parts.

This method of propulsion is a means of escape in the event of a catastrophic event, and can enter a very high speed in a short period of time.

Of course, there are also disadvantages, how far you can run, how fast you can run, it all depends on the amount of fuel, and as a reaction fuel, sodium metal, compared with other elements, the time it takes to prepare can be described as turtle speed.

That's why it was arranged by Hogu as a way of advancing when escaping.

At the tail of the cone, there are six grooves corresponding to the tentacles, which were specially designed by Hogu to allow the hoist to ride on the newly designed cluster of individuals.

Nothing can be perfect, and while being large brings many benefits to a new individual, it also means that some limitations will come with it.

And letting a small individual like Hu ride into the new individual to act together, it can complement each other well, and each other can help each other to accomplish things that the other party can't do.

"The design is finished, but I haven't thought of a name yet......"

"What should I call it?"

After solving a problem, Hogu fell into another tangled dilemma.

"The template for the design is a straight-shelled nautilus, which is similar to a snail in terms of appearance...... Therefore, in terms of title, there should be a word 'snail'. ”

"The shell is made of titanium alloy, which is the most significant difference from the straight-shell nautilus, so there should also be a ...... of 'titanium'"

"To sum it up, it's called ...... 'titanium snail'?"

When the name was pronounced, Huo Gu clearly felt an inexplicable sense of strangeness, as if he had heard the word somewhere, but he couldn't remember it.

After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't recall why I had such a sense of déjà vu for this name.

If you can't figure it out, you just don't want to, Huo Gu chooses to give up, it still has a lot of things to do.

"Forget it, maybe it's the name of an acquaintance, since it's an acquaintance, it won't be good to borrow it."

"Well, that's right."

With that, Hogu's attention shifted to the volcanic island, completing the design and production of the titanium snail, and then it was the turn of the renovation project of the volcanic island.

If it succeeds, then Hogu will have a relatively stable station, and if it fails, it will be a volcanic eruption in the form of a side leak at most, and Hogu will not be threatened at all.

Of course, it is necessary to be prepared to run away in the event of an accident.
