Chapter 11: Flow
It's bad......
The proteins of the cells are formed by combining in an acidic environment, and if they are converted to neutral or alkaline waters, the proteins will deteriorate and lose their original activity......
Not only that, but also the water temperature, since there is a volcano, the surrounding water should be hot water, and it is difficult for Hogu to ensure that the cells, which are adapted to the hot water, can adapt to the normal water temperature.
"Am I just stuck here?"
Hogu turned around and looked at the volcano again with his visual system.
When the water comes into contact with the hot lava, it instantly forms water vapor and rises to the surface of the water, filling the vacant spaces with the surrounding water.
As a result, a current of water flows towards the volcano, a kind of 'black hole' at the bottom of the sea.
If it weren't for the presence of towering rocks around it, the water would be diverted......
If it weren't for the intermittent eruption of the volcano, there would be a small eruption......
Hogu estimated that he was now ripe.
Nowadays, with a vision system, if you are careful enough, you can avoid the dangers of those volcanoes.
"So, don't you leave?"
Hogu asked himself hesitantly.
If you ignore the dangers posed by those volcanoes, there are still many benefits.
The intermittent eruptions of volcanoes, while driving the flow of water, also make this water area extremely eutrophicated, amino acids, proteins, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium and other substances, almost everything you want is within reach, it is simply a garden of Eden for microorganisms.
To be honest, Huo Gu was slightly moved by the thought of this.
After all, in this acidic water, the only thing that can threaten it is the volcano, and the microorganisms that can adapt to this water area can no longer pose a threat to it, only its meal.
"Maybe ......"
"It's also a good choice to stay for a while and prepare well before you act......"
The tremors, the sudden tremors, as if some kind of gigantic creature were churning the waters.
"What, what's going on?!"
The inner cores of the clusters of cells are resonating with this vibration, which has never happened before.
Intuition tells Hogu that something is about to appear.
Before he had time to think about it, Huo Gu immediately hid in the gap formed by two boulders nearby.
The shaking became more and more violent, and Huo Gu could see through the cracks, and the stones on the boulder fell from the top from time to time.
In the distance, with the faint light of the volcano, you can see that the bottom of the water seems to be covered with a light veil, gently and gracefully swaying with the current.
It was volcanic ash that had been sitting at the bottom of the water for a long time, and now it was stirred up by the shock.
The shaking continued for a while, and the frequency became more and more intense.
Finally, it seems that some kind of tipping point has been reached.
A super current that far crushed all the previous currents, wrapped in terrifying potential energy, like a shock wave during a nuclear explosion, swept in all directions.
Everywhere I passed, the small stones were rolled, the big stones were overturned, and even the huge stones were trembling slightly.
Now Hogu finally understands the reason why there are no small and medium-sized volume rocks on the bottom of the water nearby.
Before, it thought it was the result of perennial erosion by the current, but now it seems that it was simply thrown far away by the current.
Huo Gu tried to shrink himself into the innermost part of the gap,
However, even in the gap between the two boulders, Hogu could still feel an indescribable terrifying force trying to pull it out.
Once you're swept out, it's over!
Huo Gu reminded himself of this in his heart, and at the same time, he also commanded the cell cluster to change shape, abandoning the original cylindrical shape and instead fitting perfectly into the stone seam, leaving no gaps.
Like the previous tremors, the shock water continued for a while before it stopped.
After a while, when Hogu was sure that the previous current would not show signs of erupting again, he came out of the crack in the boulder.
"The direction of the eruption is the volcano, and judging from the surrounding landform, it is likely that it occurs frequently, but I was lucky before, and it happened not long after the intermittent eruption ended......"
"This eruption is completely different from the previous intermittent water flows, and it is not supposed to be a pressure release from the blockage of the volcanic vent, but from the upwelling of the deeper lava ......"
Summarizing the information that can be gathered and analyzing the problems is what Hogu has always done, and it is this way that it has survived until now.
All that's left is to make a choice.
Go or stay.
So, do you want to stay?
As soon as this option came out, it was rejected by Huogu.
"No, I have to get out of here, that volcano might suddenly erupt one day, and if it happens, I won't have anywhere to run."
After what had just happened, Hogu said that it was impossible for him to stay here any longer.
The resulting flagellar DNA is sheared into the outermost parietal cell, and numerous microscopic cilia grow on the outer side of the cylindrical organism.
Just as a ship's propeller needs to be driven by an engine, these flagella also need an 'engine' to drive the water to slide the water.
Fortunately, Hogu has exactly such an engine, and that is mitochondria.
Proteins were collected for a period of time and stored in a new cavity carved out by Hogu.
In order to facilitate travel in the water, Hogu transformed the head and tail of the cylindrical creature into cones, and streamlined grooves appeared on the outside of the side.
As a result, the cell clusters will have much less resistance to travel in the water.
Considering that while swimming, you might encounter a relatively narrow area, the eyes that originally stretched out from the side of the cylindrical creature were retracted and turned into embedded in the side.
In order to ensure sufficient vision, Hogu added three more eyes, one on the opposite side of the original eye, forming a complete 360-degree field of view.
The other two are distributed in the front and back, and the large cavity originally used for digesting microorganisms is divided into six small cavities by Hogu, and the joint part of the small cavity has an eye, which is exactly at the top of the head and tail cones.
Every time you ingest those microorganisms to supplement protein, it is like the effect of a flower spreading its petals.
Since it is only designed to deal with microorganisms, it is transformed into this plant-like appearance, and if it really encounters macroscopic creatures, then Hogu will use acid to make the other party give up.
After redesigning the shape, Hogu breathed a sigh of relief and soothed his highly concentrated mind.
"Fortunately, the physical chemistry in high school has not been returned to the teacher."
Clusters of cells begin to operate under command.
Sometimes, however, a good idea is not necessarily realistic, and with a new design comes a new problem.
