Chapter 57: Hardy
[Huogu, will your plan work? Why is it still not working? 】
"Don't make noise, I need to concentrate."
The plan went smoothly until the sunlight focused on the frozen remains of the rhizomes, but after that, obstacles arose.
They waited for a long time, but they didn't see any sign of the ice melting.
Rao is that they are all in a state of slowing down their minds now, and they also feel that they have been waiting for a long time.
"It's still not enough, it's too far away, that star."
[So failed, huh?] 】
"No, there are still ways to ......"
As he spoke, Hogu focused his attention on the rhizome remains.
"Unwinding, Transcription, Replication, Gene Targeting, Photoreceptor Cells."
The perspective is stretched to the microscopic level, and the photons departing from the star are transmitted to the surface of the planet, and through a refracted mirror, they deflect the direction and enter the ice crystals of the frozen rhizome remnants.
After countless small crystalline refraction and deflection, a few photons finally hit the individual cells of the rhizome system, which brought energy to the cells.
If it were an ordinary normal microorganism, this amount of energy would definitely not be enough to revive it, but a cell with a cluster consciousness like Hogu was completely different.
Hogu can't make the energy more out of thin air, but it can make the energy collected from the rhizome wreckage converge at one point using a network of synapses to stimulate a single cell to wake up from hibernation.
This awakening was short-lived, but it was sufficient, and Hogu calculated the timing and gave the resuscitated cells division instructions.
New cells are born in transparent ice crystals, inside the remains of rhizomes.
This cell is black all over, and this color absorbs light and heat very well, so that it can more or less provide some bonuses to the absorption of sunlight.
This cell is a photoreceptor cell, but it is slightly different from the photoreceptor cell that provides vision to the visual system, and it is extremely cold-tolerant.
The cell membrane has cold shock proteins, which can keep the cell membrane alive in such a low temperature environment instead of going into hibernation.
A large amount of hydrochloric acid is added to the cytoplasm, accounting for about 23.89% of the internal cytoplasmic solution, and the freezing point of this mixed liquid will drop to -79.5 degrees Celsius, which is more than enough to deal with the current low temperature on the surface of the planet.
After collecting enough energy, these hardy cells continue to divide into new individuals according to the instructions issued by Hogu, multiplying in number and expanding the absorption surface of light.
The material is taken from the remains of rhizomes, as well as from the ice crystals themselves, which are low-temperature condensations of the seawater atmosphere, and are not as pure as they appear to the naked eye, and are full of impurities and other elements.
Using a hydrochloric acid solution, the freezing point of water in the ice crystals is lowered so that it can be re-dissolved into a liquid state.
In this way, the position space of the cold-tolerant cells inside the ice crystal is gradually expanded, and the transparent cavity becomes larger and larger.
It lasted for a while, and finally, a small hole was broken in one of the ice crystals, and black vines formed by a combination of black cells protruded from it.
Seeing that the timing was about the same, Hogu added a new type of cell to partner with cold-tolerant cells.
The function of this cell is to use photons to break down hydrochloric acid and produce heat and nutrients to supply the current new low-temperature rhizome system.
When the two types of cells are combined, icicles or ice mirrors are created that focus or refract light, allowing the rhizome system to absorb more photons.
The Great Thaw Movement is in full swing under the command of Hogu, and it is foreseeable that soon the planet will be liberated from the ice.
It stands to reason that Hogu should be happy that the plan went so smoothly, but ......
【See ......】
【Come to ......】
【To ......】
【Success......】
【Function ......】
【......】
【……】
It took a long time for each byte to speak, the sky no longer changed as quickly as the stars shifted, and the snow on the ground no longer surged like a tide from the direction of the rising stars to the horizon where the stars set.
All because the effect of mental slowdown is gradually disappearing, and as the new rhizome energy cycle is on track, Hogu is about to be pulled back to the normal view of time.
However, Hogu was not satisfied with this, after all, there was one less person to speak.
It's nice to say that you have no one to talk to in the first place when you are on a desert island, but if there is someone you can talk to, but for some reason you can't communicate, it's undoubtedly very uncomfortable.
Thinking that the communication between the two sides would soon return to the time of the Immortal Universe, Huo Gu felt that it was better to discuss and communicate in advance, otherwise there would likely be some misunderstanding.
Of course, if it is said to be a discussion, it is actually a unilateral notification, after all, if the other party is delivering information intermittently like now, I am afraid that it will be impossible to discuss things when Hogu restores the entire planetary environment.
"Twilight, my view of time has returned to normal, and now the message sent from you has been delayed, so I have to make some things clear to you before the delay is serious."
"In view of the fact that after the restoration, you are using lightning to deliver information, I will erect a lot of towering cone-shaped metal bodies on the surface, you can use this as a target, launch thunder and lightning, don't worry about whether I will receive it, the whole rhizome system is connected, I can receive information in any of them."
"As for the special bodies that have been created for you, I will be careful that they will no longer be as unscrupulous as they were during the Plutoic period, and if there are alien meteorites and comets, I will also help you destroy them, so that the global ice will not happen again, you can rest assured."
After thinking about it, Huo Gu continued to add.
"Also, be careful not to use whirlwinds or create crustal changes in areas where the rhizomes are entrenched, as you would be a big problem for me."
【Good ......】
【......】
Perhaps it was because the time delay in the information was also taken into account by the twilight, and the answer was very brief.
After this exchange, Huo Gu always felt that there was something strange, not only like writing a last word for himself, but also like a parting message for someone else at a friend's funeral.
Throwing this outlandish idea out of his mind, Hogu concentrated on the development of a new rhizome system.
Crawling out of the gap cut by the twilight-manipulated wind blade, the rhizome system spreads over the elevated ice field.
The flat environment of the ice field is perfect for collecting photons.
Immediately, under the command of Huogu, the rhizome system could not wait to start laying the ice field.
Icicles stand up on the ice sheet that can refract or reflect light, and at the center are cold-tolerant cells that collect photon energy.
After a while, seeing that the necessary materials were almost collected, Hogu ordered the rhizome to spread directly below.
The second step of the plan was launched.
