Chapter 48: Doubts
Huo Gu recalled his previous inferences over and over again, and soon noticed something unusual that didn't quite make sense.
First of all, in terms of the strength shown by the enemy in the previous battles, the opponent should be able to extend his power to the depths of the ground and be able to probe the formation, so he can use lava to disconnect the supply of rhizomes and octahedron in the formation.
Due to the urgency of the situation at the time, Hogu didn't think much about it, and now that he thought about it, he only felt a palpitation in his heart.
This was a big mistake, and if it had been known from the beginning that the enemy could detect creatures underground, Hoguda would not have carried out his current plan in the first place.
The current plan is based on the premise that the enemy has the power to influence the underground, but does not have the ability to detect the underground.
If you want to kill it, why don't you have to do everything you can in the first place?
This was the first place where Hogu was confused.
The lion fights the rabbit with all his strength, this is a truth that even a beast with a hairy hair and drinks blood understands, will the enemy not understand?
Even if you make such a low-level mistake because of carelessness, why do you make the same mistake the second time you go to the bottom of the sea?
Is it the enemy who has no brains?
Obviously not, otherwise it would not have been possible to make Hogu the mess he is now.
Of course, this problem can be explained by the ability of the metal walls in the underground cavity to shield the other party from detecting the underground.
However, this explanation is a bit far-fetched, since the metal wall can shield the ability to detect the underground, why would the enemy be indifferent to let this 'blind spot' in their own territory?
The giant underground cavity is not a small entity, and the underground space it occupies is already at the level where the unit quantifier 'billion' is needed.
There's absolutely no reason why an enemy who can use lava to target rhizomes in rock formations shouldn't be noticed.
The reason for the continued existence of the Void is that it cannot affect the underground, but the key is that the enemy does have this ability, and its flexibility, accuracy, and destructive power are all super strong, and the giant underground Cavern is an old antique from 800 million years ago, which is basically the level of falling down at the touch of a button.
Then there is the second question, which is the question at the time of the first contact, and the unjustified attack that follows.
If it is hostile from the beginning, then there is no reason for the enemy to say the question, that is, the enemy is hostile after the question......
"No, before that inquiry appeared, it was also attacked by a tornado pillar and a thunderbolt."
"In other words, the other party has an aggressive attitude towards any intelligent life from the beginning......"
"It doesn't seem right, I didn't reply to that guy in the first place, why would it make sure I'm a sapient life being and treat me differently from other microbes?"
"In other words, that guy is not hostile to intelligent beings, but simply hostile to 'me'."
"Why is there such a great deal of hostility towards 'me'? Could it be that I did something unintentionally to make it so angry? ”
After recalling for a while, Huo Gu could not find any useful information from his memory to provide an explanation for this question, which was another unsolvable question that needed to be asked directly to him.
The third question, which Huo Gu had just noticed, was about octahedron.
Judging from the performance, it seems that the existence of octahedron can seriously stimulate the enemy whose body is unknown, and at first Huo Gu thought that the enemy was hidden in the outer space of the planet, and it is reasonable for this reaction to appear.
But now, the fact is that the enemy is not outside the planet, so this reaction of the enemy has become quite suspicious.
If the octahedron is a cluster of cells under the control of Hogu, and this is used as a reason for the enemy's terrorist attack on the octahedron, then it would be very difficult to compare this incident with another thing.
The movement of the projectile is very large, as Hogu needs to create a powerful enough explosion to give the projectile an initial velocity sufficient to break away from the planet's gravity.
The shock wave from the explosion, even from a hundred miles away, can feel the subtle tremor, as well as the subtle humming sound.
It was the nuclear explosion that provided the powerful thrust of the artillery shells, which was the knowledge of junior high school, but it was also the knowledge point that impressed Huogu the most.
Dig a cavity in the ground and attach dozens of layers of explosives to the perimeter - whatever it is, as long as it can provide a regular explosion.
Then, in the very center, the uranium metal is placed, and if the cavity is large enough and the conventional explosives are sufficient, the purity does not have to be very high, 10 or 15 percent to be used as nuclear fuel.
However, the amount of uranium metal determines the power of the nuclear explosion, and if the purity is too low, it is likely to lead to a decrease in the power of the explosion.
Under the conventional explosion of uranium metal at the same moment, it will immediately break through the critical mass and release the terrifying force contained in the substance - nuclear fission.
The other two explosions were also nuclear explosions, but in a slightly different way than the first one.
The act of continuously releasing nuclear explosions at such intervals should be the focus of attention, but the opposite is true.
After the shell broke away from the planet's gravity, the enemy's attention was still focused on the octahedron, and in other places, Hogu completely ignored the nuclear explosion, not to mention the tornado column, not even a lightning bolt, which was very problematic.
It may seem like it can't be understood, but if you do it another way, you can explain it smoothly at once.
"Does that mean that the octahedron is more threatening to the enemy than the occurrence of a nuclear explosion, so it should be eliminated first?"
"After that, the enemy did more to destroy the rhizome system, and still not to find out the source of the explosion, or it knew very well what was happening, and fundamentally knew the principle and it was already empty, and there was no point in investigating."
"Or, it's clear, that kind of thing is less of a threat to it than the octahedron and rhizome system......"
Hogu felt as if he was about to touch the other party's true face.
However, something in the universe interrupted Hogu's deduction and pulled it back to reality from the inner mind.
The cluster of cells located in the planet's near-earth orbit has never been interrupted in the collection of electromagnetic waves from the surrounding environment, and at this point in time when the planetary enemy is dismembering the rhizome system, at a certain point, there is a noticeable amplification of both ultraviolet and infrared radiation.
Hogu then adjusted his sight distance and captured the owner who was emitting electromagnetic waves, which was a comet!
