Chapter 168: Capture
Unlike the rough sea, the bottom of the sea is a fairly quiet world, especially after the end of the Underworld, it is like a bowl of water that has been leveled, stable and quiet, the only drawback is that it is not as clear as the surface of the sea, dark and deep.
However, the 'foreign body' from the top down destroys this tranquility.
The red lotus that covered the sky and the sun was wrapped in karmic fire, dragging the crimson trajectory at a speed of nearly Mach 13, and from the sky down, even the air became viscous in an instant, which was a temporary increase in air pressure caused by the air being squeezed.
The devastating shock wave instantly dispelled the seawater, brutally tearing open the veil of mystery that covered the bottom of the sea, and the seabed was directly exposed to the air, and the air was trembling at this time.
A huge crater with a radius of tens of kilometers was formed, liquid sea water mixed with steam was thrown into the stratosphere, and for a time, a drizzle with salt began to fall in a third of the earth's surface.
A few hours later, the sea poured in, and the majestic resurgence wave of course flooded the vacant pothole.
Under a high column of water slapping against each other by the waves of return, this drastic change in heaven and earth finally came to an end.
Only the dark clouds and salty rain in the sky that have not dispersed for a long time are still singing the praises of what happened before.
"It's over."
[Yes, it hurts to death.] 】
Twilight was simply complaining, but here Huo Gu felt that it meant something, and he hurriedly changed the topic with some embarrassment.
“…… In short, get the finishing touches done first. ”
The rhizomes that covered the surface began to spread towards the pit in the sea.
Generally speaking, the deeper you go into the ocean, the cooler the water will be, but the opposite is true in this sea, which has recently experienced a drastic upheaval, and the part near the center of the crater is already a forbidden place for life, and even the most powerful microorganisms cannot survive in this heat.
The reason is simple, high temperatures denature proteins, and the unit of life on the planet that makes up its body is protein, and it is the same reason as digging the foundation, no matter how high the building is.
"Will, if you go further......"
Perpetual felt it compelled to remind them that the gatherers were now all hiding in the underground shelter arranged by Twilight, but that didn't mean they weren't paying attention to what was going on outside.
"I know, it's hot, but just like that, it's still too cold compared to the twilight lava, and there's nothing to be afraid of."
Indeed, the basic units of Hogu are also made up of proteins, and the limits of proteins are there, and no matter how much the cell's resistance to high temperatures is adjusted, it is impossible to exceed the temperature of this water.
But this does not mean that it does not have a way to deal with it, the difference between humans and animals is that people can turn their minds around, but animals are iron to death.
Since the temperature resistance value does not meet the requirements, isn't it okay to reduce the temperature below the temperature resistance value in turn?
Hogu sank into the web of his mind, searching for the materials he needed.
"I remember there was a hive around here that was processing liquid nitrogen......"
Physically connected to the distant hive, the internal structure of the rhizome was slightly adjusted, and the rhizome was adjusted with an additional layer of liquid nitrogen.
High and low neutralization, after the two extremes of temperature are neutralized with each other, there is a water temperature suitable for cell survival.
Hogu stepped up to work, and it now had too many questions in its mind to answer.
For example, an unknown monster of unknown origin, the purpose of the alien who intervened in this incident, and the reason why this situation developed like this, etc.
The strange field of life that still emanates from the wreckage should be able to give some answer to a greater or lesser extent—Hogu thinks.
The rhizome climbed up the wreckage of the starport that was still bubbling with a lot of bubbles, and tried not to make a big movement as much as possible, because Huogu could still feel the unfamiliar life field, and of course it would not admit it to the life field of the gatherer, so there was only one owner of this life field, and that was the 'target' mentioned in the Shakyan report.
However, just as the rhizome coverage progress reached fifty percent, it seemed to be aware of the intention, and a huge black shadow burst out of the ruins, breaking through the rhizome's barrier and fleeing into the distance.
"Tsk, let it run."
There is definitely unhappiness and depression, but it is not too strong, probably to the extent that a child fails to catch insects.
Feeling Hogu's emotions, Twilight proposed.
[Huogu, why don't I go and help you get it back?] 】
"No, you are still needed to deal with aliens, it's not suitable to do it now, so I'll do it myself."
Hogu rejected Twilight and calmed his thoughts.
It's not difficult to lock down the location of an unknown creature, its life field is like the bright moon in the dark night, hanging brightly outside, and it's so bright that it's hard not to be noticed.
The unknown creature that was escaping in the sea suddenly stopped, but it was too late, and the unknown creature was wrapped directly in it with the help of several large nets thrown by the explosion.
Unknown creatures behave the same as they do in the universe.
Life Field Impact!
"Hiss......"
Hogu suddenly experienced an indescribable sensation, as if someone had put a loudspeaker to his ear and then roared with all his might.
This behavior did not bring any real harm to Hogu, and its information memory was not comparable to that of the gatherer, but it would simply feel very noisy.
Although the report of the shakyan has something to say about the 'life field impact', Huoguta has not experienced this kind of thing, and has no concept at all, the key is that the information provided by the shakyan is not perfect.
It's like listening to a blind man describe an elephant from someone who has never seen an elephant, and it is too difficult to restore the real elephant.
[Hogu, I feel the need to remind you. 】
"What's the matter?"
[That guy is a 'bunch'. 】
"Uh......"
The next moment Huo Gu just reacted, as if to confirm what Yu said, the unknown creatures began to disintegrate, and one by one drilled out of the cracks in the rhizome of Luo Wang, and the strips swam in the water like sea snakes, fleeing in all directions.
"Where are you going?"
Hogu reacted immediately, a large amount of liquid nitrogen was released, and the strips that had not had time to escape through the cracks in the net stopped their activity in a matter of seconds.
There is no way around it, it is a low temperature of minus 196 degrees.
Afterwards, Hogu's attention shifted to the strips that had fled a considerable distance.
One by one, the titanium screws brought up a long line of water, quickly caught up with them, and hit them accurately, and the liquid nitrogen was released, freezing into ice along with the surrounding seawater.
Compared with titanium snails, the speed of these strips is no different from that of a turtle, and the liquid environment dooms the strips to no longer swim faster, and it is a reason that propeller planes cannot be supersonic in the air.
"Will, we're re-radio in touch with the Bakyara."
"Well, let them get back as soon as possible, space is too dangerous."
"Yes."
