The strength and volume of the material are inversely proportional, the larger the volume, the smaller the effectiveness of the material, and on the scale of the human body, the carapace strength of insects is equivalent to that of cardboard, which can be cut with a not very sharp stone blade.

Continuing their elevated structures, they are gradually showing signs of swaying.

However, all this was expected for a long time.

"Transport, bring the materials over!"

Tens of millions of gatherers form miles of queues between the hive and the megastructure site, the bottom of the monostructure delivered by slime-coated substance.

"Water, and water! Erect rhizomes! ”

The rhizomes that lead to the ocean first connect with the hive, which filters salt and impurities, and from the hive the rhizome transports water to the megastructure.

When Sustainability gets a signal from the life field of the Megastructure, it responds to the Giant.

"Are the resources enough?"

"In that case, I'll allow you to proceed to the next phase."

The response to the megastructure is gradually changing, its outer wall is falling off little by little, the layers are gradually showing signs of spiral dislocation, the height is also decreasing, and the overall cell density is increasing.

The three vertical spiral metal strips are more and more obvious on the outer wall of the giant structure, and the strength of such a structure is further improved under the premise that the material remains the same.

Changes have also taken place within the megastructure, with the chaotic life support circuits being torn down and transformed into a more direct and efficient nutrient supply circuit.

After the structure is stabilized, the height continues to rise, but compared to before, due to the increase in density, the amount of material required is also doubled, if the material required for each meter of rise was 1 unit, then after the structure changes, the material required for each meter of rise is 10 units.

After that, similar structural changes will take place, and the required material units will increase from tenfold to hundreds, then thousands, and then thousands......

In order to meet the demand for materials, the size and station size of the gatherers also expanded during the construction of the megastructure, with mountains being flattened, mountains removed, and lakes drained and filled.

Before you know it, the top of the structure penetrates deep into the dense atmosphere, and thick clouds completely cover the top.

Yong Xu knows that after reaching this height, the difficulty is not as simple as before, and the progress of the megastructure project can only be obtained by relying on the life field channel, and the thunder and lightning often emerge in the clouds due to the friction of the clouds, and the metal leads the lightning, so in the process of lifting the megastructure, it is almost inevitable that it will be struck by lightning.

"Gale! The wind is coming! ”

Suddenly, Perpetual received such a message from the field of life.

It's not just the violent air currents that come out of nowhere, violently impacting the huge structure being built, the environment of the Underworld stage is extremely harsh, and the ordinary wind is already equivalent to the typhoon on the earth, and now this kind of strong wind, the wind is even more powerful than this.

"Steady! Hold it for me! ”

In the wind, the swing of the giant structure became more and more violent, and it seemed that it could fall at any time, and in the design place, Si did not consider such a strong wind, because it had never been seen on the planet at all, so there was no targeted analysis of the force of the giant structure.

The giant structure let out a wail, and like the mothership class in the interstellar war some time ago, they had reached the limit of their stress tolerance.

As a result, the clouds were torn in half as they collapsed, and the air friction brought a thunderous scream, and the giant structure collapsed with a bang, and the splashed sand and dust set off waves like liquid, and tens of millions of gatherers below it, as well as countless individual gatherers who were part of the giant structure, died in the roar of the collapse.

Yong was stunned for a while, and suddenly thought of something, revealing a very aggressive and hideous posture.

"Twilight! You did it! Why? ”

Perpetual immediately thought of the biggest suspect, the guy who could create this abnormal climate, and there was nothing else but the will of the planet under their feet.

[Fail.] 】

"What did you say?"

[Which one is stronger than the alien attack or the wind that has strengthened a little bit?] 】

“……”

[Don't you want to be stronger? 】

[This is your determination? 】

“……”

[Huo Gu said that you have extraordinary potential, and I was looking forward to it, so the wind blew, and it turned out to be nothing more than that. 】

[It's really far from it.] 】

Twilight's words are like a hammer, bombarding the heart of Eternity, and what is even more ironic is that it can't find a reason to refute it for a while.

“…… I understand. ”

"Twilight, we'll prove it to you."

The conversation was simple, but with a dignified atmosphere, all because the exchange was based on the premise that thousands of gatherers had been killed or injured.

Sustainability sends information back to the mind, and now the megastructures are simply not enough to fight the climate masters, they need more elaborate design.

And, of course, there's the exchange of information between Perpetual and Twilight.

[That's it, right?] 】

After playing the bad guys, Twilight who carried out a 'heavy punch' on the perpetual them, and established a connection with Hogu.

"Well, that's enough."

"I'll have to trouble you a little bit later."

[Anyway, Hogu, you don't need to force yourself like this, if the casualties of the gatherers really make you feel uncomfortable, I will stop the action.] 】

"No need, just come at it, I don't mind."

It would be a lie to say that it didn't mind, and Twilight could feel Hogu's restlessness, even as it struggled to suppress it.

【……】

Feeling Twilight's hesitation, Hogu, who was worried that Twilight would release water because of himself, took the initiative to reply.

"They want to be stronger, and I want them to be stronger, and that's fine, death is inevitable, it's time for them to 'grow up' and get used to it."

“…… Or rather, I should get used to the fact that 'gatherers die'. ”

"I'm sorry for dragging you into the water about this, I won't blame you for that, Twilight, I'm not qualified to do that."

Hogu is a human being, he was and still is, as long as he is a human being, he will be bound by the so-called feelings, and then make a series of irrational behaviors from this.

Originally, the alien thing, it could have taken a more rational and prudent approach, but it didn't, because the alien slaughtered the gatherers, it felt angry, so it responded in the most extreme way, 'war'.

From an objective point of view, this is irrational and dangerous, so Huo Gu feels that maybe he should abandon the 'people'.

[That...... All right. 】

[So why don't you play the 'bad guy' yourself?] It's too cunning. 】

Twilight complained angrily, indeed from Twilight's point of view, Huo Gu's actions were somewhat harmful to others and self-interest.

"I can't do it......"
