How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 187: Not Being a Man

The strength and volume of the material are inversely proportional. The larger the volume, the smaller its performance. On the scale of human body size, the shell strength of insects is equivalent to cardboard, which can be cut with a not very sharp stone blade.

They continue to build high giant structures, gradually showing signs of swaying.

However, all this is something that has been expected for a long time.

"Transport team, move the materials over!"

Tens of millions of collectors form a team that stretches for miles between the beehive and the giant construction site, and the assembly line is generally the bottom of the giant structure that is delivered by mucus-encapsed material.

"Water, and water! Set up the roots!"

The rhizome leading to the ocean first establishes a connection with the hive, filters salt and impurities through the hive, and then transports water from the hive to the giant structure.

When the perpetuation gets a signal from the life field of the giant, it then responds to the giant.

"Are there enough resources?"

"In this case, I allow you to proceed to the next stage."

The giant aggregate that received the answer is gradually changing. Its outer wall is falling off little by little, and the signs of spiral dislocation gradually appear between the layers. The height is also decreasing, and the overall cell density is increasing.

The metal bars of three vertical spirals are more and more obvious on the outer wall of the giant structure. The strength of such a structure is further improved under the premise that the material remains unchanged.

The interior of the giant structure has also changed, and those messy life maintenance circuits are directly pushed down and turned into a more direct and efficient nutrient supply circuit.

After the structure is stable, the height continues to rise, but compared with before, the material required is doubled due to the increase in density. If the material required for each meter rise is 1 unit, then after the structural change, the material required for each meter rise is 10 units.

After that, similar structural changes will take place, and the required material units will increase from ten times to one hundred, and then thousands, tens of thousands...

In order to meet the demand for materials, the size of collectors and the area of the station are also expanding during the huge construction. The mountains will be flattened, the mountains will be removed, and the lakes will be drained and filled.

Unconsciously, the top of the giant structure penetrates into the dense atmospheric environment, and the thick clouds completely cover the top.

We will know that after reaching this height, the difficulty is not as simple as before. The progress of the giant structure project can only be obtained by relying on the life field channel. Moreover, thunder and lightning often emerges in the clouds due to cloud friction, and metal attracts lightning. Therefore, in the process of lifting the giant structure, it is almost inevitable to be struck by lightning. A raw thing.

"Big wind! The wind is coming!"

Suddenly, I received such a piece of information from the field of life.

It is not only the explosive airflow that comes out of nowhere, but also the huge structure under construction. The environment in the ancient ages is extremely bad. Ordinary wind is already equivalent to typhoons and other disaster weather on the earth, and now this kind of strong wind is even more than that.

"Stabilize! Hold on!"

In the gale, the swing of the giant structure is more and more violent, and it seems that it may fall at any time. In the design, the other side has not considered such a strong wind, because it has not been seen on the planet at all, so there is no targeted force analysis of the giant structure in this situation.

The giant structure made a whine. Like those motherships in the interstellar war some time ago, they all reached the stress limit they could bear.

The doomed result is that with the process of collapse, the clouds are torn in half, and the air friction roars like thunder. The giant structure collapses in this way, and the splashed sand and dust raises waves like liquid. Tens of millions of collectors below it, as well as countless individuals as part of the giant aggregate, are collapsing. He died in the roar of.

He was stunned for a while, and suddenly thought of something, showing a very aggressive and ferocious posture.

"Ming! You did it! Why did you do this?"

Perpetuality immediately thought of the biggest suspect, the guy who can create this abnormal climate, except the will of the planet under their feet.

[Falge.]

"What did you say?"

[Compared with the wind that strengthens a little bit, which one is stronger?]

"..."

[Don't you want to get stronger?]

[Is this your determination?]

"..."

[Huo Gu said that you have extraordinary potential. I was looking forward to it, so the wind blew, and the result was just like this.]

[It's really far away.]

My words are like a heavy hammer, bombarding the eternal heart, and what's more ironic is that it can't find a reason to refute it for a while.

"...I see."

"Ming, we will prove it to you."

The simple conversation, but with a solemn atmosphere, is all because this communication is based on the premise of thousands of collectors.

The eternal information is sent back to the side of thought. Now this huge structure is not enough to fight against the rulers of the climate. They need more exquisite design.

Of course, there is also the exchange of information between Perpetuality and Mino just now.

[Is that all right?]

After playing the bad guys and imposing a 'heavy punch' on them, established a relationship with Huo Gu.

"Well, that's enough."

"I'll bother you later."

[By the way, Huo Gu, you don't have to force yourself like this. If the casualties of the collector really make you feel uncomfortable, I will stop acting.]

"No, that's it. I don't mind."

It's deceptive to say that you don't mind. You can feel Huo Gu's anxiety, although it is trying to suppress it.

[...]

Feeling the hesitation of Wei, Huo Gu, who was worried that Wei would release water because of himself, took the initiative to reply.

"They want to become stronger, and I also want them to become stronger. Whatever it is, death is inevitable. It's time for them to 'grow up' and get used to it."

"...Or, I should get used to the matter of 'the collector will die'."

"I'm sorry to drag you into the water about this matter. I won't blame you for anything about it. I'm not qualified for that."

Huo Gu is a human being, and he is also a human being. As long as he is a person, he will be bound by the so-called feelings, and then make a series of irrational behaviors.

Originally, it could take a more rational and prudent approach to the alien thing, but it did not. Because the alien slaughter of the collector made it feel angry, so it responded in the most extreme way, 'war'.

Objectively, this is irrational and dangerous, so Huo Gu feels that maybe it is time to abandon 'people'.

[Well...all right.]

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

He complained angrily. From his point of view, Huo Gu's behavior was somewhat harmful to others and self-interested.

"I can't do it..."
