Chapter Ninety-Six: The Cone

As for the 'loyalty' of the gatherers, Hogu didn't spend much time on it, and turned his attention to other things.

Although the logic is still not clear, the overall result is good, at least there is no need to worry about the 'uprising' of the gatherers one day, and the branding of Hogu as a class enemy that must be reached.

'Loyalty' in the physical sense is far more firm than the conceptual sense of loyalty in human beings, after all, the universe is still materialistic after all.

"Speaking of which, we have to reconnect with Twilight as soon as possible."

Huo Gu's mind moved, and the rhizome system began to obey the instructions, and in the inland underground, which would be affected by the marine climate, a certain root of the rhizome differentiated and multiplied, and soon formed a lump of sarcoma, just like the original octahedron.

A steady stream of organic matter is transported from afar by the rhizomes.

Since unlocking the technology to produce organic matter independently, Hogu is no longer bothered by organic materials, and the organic material production of rhizomes can even crush the way to obtain ready-made organic materials from microorganisms.

Nowadays, the only thing that is still limited is probably the ability of the rhizome to transport organic material.

The sarcoma quickly expands with a small horn at the top, and the area at the bottom that can be used to connect and transport organic material increases due to the expansion of the body.

Therefore, not only did it not decline or maintain a constant rate, but the growth showed a trend of accelerated growth.

Soon, the horn burst through the earth, and although it looked dirty from the dirt, it was still recognizable as a lump of metal.

The metal object continued to rise, gradually revealing itself to the outside world, a metal cone.

However, if you look at it from a microscopic angle, you will find that this metal body is different from ordinary metal bodies, and it is full of countless porous structures, which is a combination of metal and organic matter.

This form is not uncommon, as a macroscopic organism of the bone microstructure, is basically the perfect combination of this organic matter and metal structure, both growth and metal strength.

The theoretical growth limit of the metal cone artificially led by Hogu should be the strength limit of the metal body.

However, at a time of growth of more than 10 meters, the cone metal object stopped growing.

Hogu noticed that the cone tended to be elongated, and even when it reached the same height as an octahedron, it occupied less than one-thousandth the size of an octahedron.

The reason why Hogu didn't think about using octahedron was because of the energy consumption caused by its huge size, which was enough to change the climate and environment of the planet.

Therefore, Hogu chose the current design with a small number of cells per unit and low energy consumption.

"This design should be sufficient in terms of the strength it has shown so far, but if it continues to grow, I am afraid that the center of gravity will be unstable and fall ......"

“…… Then add the root design of the plant at the bottom, and grasp the ground in reverse to stabilize the height. ”

The inner cells, which were supposed to provide repair and a certain toughness to the metal cone, received the instruction, and the inner cells at the bottom grew roots, which expanded all the way downward, reaching three times the height of the deepest roots relative to the cone.

"It should be about the same, and the next thing is to grow simultaneously on the top and bottom."

Hogu briefly checked how much the cone was shaking, and after making sure it was acceptable, continued to let the cone grow upwards, and of course, the roots at the bottom would not fall.

The ozone layer between the troposphere and stratosphere at the surface was quickly broken by a cone.

Through his eyes near the tip of the cone at the top, Hogu was able to see a new world, with clouds at the top and clouds at the bottom, layered on top of each other, so that it really looked like the celestial realm of earth mythology.

However, Huo Gu didn't have much feeling, this kind of scenery could often be seen by plane in his previous life, if it was replaced by a collector, it was estimated that he would be scared enough.

"Speaking of which, I've been here for so long, and I don't know if I have a chance to return to Earth, and what happened to Earth......

Fallen leaves always have to return to their roots, and this idea is especially strong in the elderly, and Hogu, as an old man in his sixties, is deeply influenced by this idea.

Finally, he took a deep look, between the clouds and the world, the sun that was about to set in the western mountains, Huo Gu muttered melancholy.

"I hope to see it again in my lifetime."

The cone continued to grow, and by this time, night had fallen, and Hogu could see many stars twinkling endlessly.

As it gets closer to the cold, the part of the cone from the cone to the tip of the cone has condensed a layer of frost at some unknown point, covering the surface of the metal body, which is a characteristic of the middle layer of the atmospheric structure.

This caused some trouble for the growth of the cone, because the temperature would have a certain effect on the hogu, but it was not in the way, and the cells in the cone were rejuvenated after the introduction of hydrochloric acid, which lowered the freezing point.

When the tip of the cone penetrates deep into the hot layer, the ice in this part of the cone shows signs of detachment and melting.

The gas in this layer is ionized under the action of cosmic rays, and the ionized oxygen can strongly absorb the short-wave radiation of the sun, causing the air to heat up rapidly, so the temperature of this layer increases with altitude, which is the opposite of the previous mesosphere.

After more than a dozen changes day and night, the cone finally grew to its strength limit, and the tip of the cone was already reaching the fugitive layer.

At this height, it can be seen that the surface of the earth is showing a certain arc, and the sky is no longer blue, but as black as ink.

Huo Guxin's command followed, passing from the bottom through the cells inside the metal to the cells at the top.

The tip of the cone begins to be broken down by the cells inside, and soon the metal part disappears, replaced by a plateau-shaped sarcoma and a spherical hollow tempered glass sphere with an eye inside.

Of course, the treatment of radiation protection is the most important consideration, and the built-in solution carried in the tempered glass ball can absorb most of the radiation from the star.

"I didn't expect that one day I would do those things that only astronomy majors do, obviously I'm just a bad old man who likes archaeology......"

"So, there should be an asteroid belt in this galaxy, right? Hopefully not too far. ”

Hogu adjusts the vitreous inside the eye, observing the environment within the planetary system through a stream of charged particles emitted from the fusion of a star's nuclei.

Although it is said to be 'inside', it is actually very large, so empty that one will subconsciously think that apart from the planet under one's feet, there are only distant stars and distant stars in the sky without heat.
