How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 49 Doubt

Huo Gu recalled his previous inferences over and over again, and soon noticed some abnormalities that were not quite in line with common sense.

First of all, judging from the strength shown by the enemy before, the opponent should be able to extend his power deep underground and detect the formation, so he was able to use lava to disconnect the rhizomes and octahedrons in the formation. supply.

Due to the urgent situation at that time, Huogu didn't think too much about it. Now that he thought about it carefully, he only felt a palpitation in his heart.

This was a big mistake. If he had known from the beginning that the enemy could detect underground creatures, Hoguda would not have carried out the current plan from the beginning.

The current plan is based on the premise that 'the enemy has the power to affect the underground, but has no ability to detect the underground'.

Since you want to kill it, why didn't you try your best in the first place?

This is the first place where Huo Gu was confused.

The lion fights the rabbit with all its strength, this is a truth that even a wild beast that drinks blood understands, won't the enemy understand?

Even if he made such a low-level mistake due to carelessness, why would he make the same mistake the second time on the bottom of the sea?

Is the enemy brainless?

Obviously not, otherwise it would be impossible for Huo Gu to be in the current state of embarrassment.

Of course, this problem can be explained by the fact that the metal wall in the underground cavity can shield the opponent's ability to detect the ground.

However, this explanation is a bit far-fetched. Since the metal wall can block the ability to detect the ground, why would the enemy indifferently let this 'blind spot' be in their own territory?

The giant underground cavity is not a small entity. The underground space it occupies is already at the level of the unit quantifier 'billion'.

For enemies who can use lava to target roots within rock formations, there's absolutely no reason not to notice.

It can be explained if the hole is allowed to continue to exist because it cannot affect the underground, but the key is that the enemy does have this ability, and its flexibility, accuracy, and destructive power are all super strong, and the giant underground hole is a The old antiques from 800 million years ago are basically to the point of falling down when touched.

Then there is the second question, which is the questioning sentence during the first contact, and the unreasonable attack afterwards.

If it was hostile from the beginning, then the enemy would have no reason to say that question, that is to say, the enemy only became hostile after that question...

"No, before that question appeared, I was also attacked by a tornado column and lightning."

"That is to say, the other party has an aggressive attitude towards any intelligent life from the very beginning..."

"It doesn't seem right. I haven't replied to that guy from the beginning. Why did it determine that I am an intelligent life form and treat me differently from other microorganisms?"

"In other words, that guy is not hostile to intelligent creatures, but simply full of hostility towards 'me'."

"Why is there such a huge hostility towards 'me'? Could it be that I did something unintentionally to make it so angry?"

After thinking about it for a while, Huogu couldn't find any useful information from his memory, which could provide an explanation for this question. This is another unsolvable question that needs to be asked directly by himself.

The third question, which Huogu just noticed just now, is about the octahedron.

From the performance point of view, it seems that the existence of the octahedron can seriously stimulate the unknown enemy. At first, Huogu thought that the enemy was hiding in the outer space of the planet, and it was reasonable to have such a reaction.

But now, the fact is that the enemy is not outside the planet, so the reaction of the enemy has become quite suspicious.

If it is said that because the octahedron is a cluster of cells under Hogu's dominion, it is used as a reason for the enemy to launch a terrorist attack on the octahedron, then it will be very difficult to compare this thing with another thing. and.

The movement of firing cannonballs is very loud, because Hogu needs to create a powerful enough explosion to provide the cannonballs with an initial velocity sufficient to escape the planet's gravity.

The shock wave generated by the explosion, even a hundred miles away, can still feel the slight tremor and the slight buzzing sound.

It was the nuclear explosion that provided the powerful thrust to the cannonballs. This is the knowledge of junior high school, but it is also the knowledge point that impressed Hogu the most.

A cavity was excavated in the ground, and dozens of layers of explosives were attached to the periphery—no matter what it is, as long as it can provide a conventional explosion.

Then, in the most central position, metal uranium is placed. If the cavity is large enough and there are enough conventional explosives, the purity does not have to be as high as 10% or 15%. It can also be used as nuclear fuel.

However, the amount of metal uranium determines the power of a nuclear explosion, and if the purity is too low, it is likely to lead to a decrease in the power of the explosion.

Under the conventional explosion at the same time, the metal uranium will immediately break through the critical mass and release the terrifying power contained in the material—nuclear fission.

The other two explosions were also nuclear explosions, but they were slightly different from the first nuclear explosion.

The behavior of continuously releasing nuclear explosions at such intervals should be the focus of attention, but the fact is just the opposite.

After the shell escaped from the gravity of the planet, the enemy's attention was still focused on the octahedron, and completely ignored the nuclear explosion made by Hogu in other places, not to mention the tornado column, and there was not even a lightning bolt, which was very interesting. problem.

It seems that I can't understand it, but if I put it another way, I can explain it smoothly.

"Can it be understood that the octahedron is more threatening to the enemy than the occurrence of a nuclear explosion, so we should give priority to eradicating it?"

"After that, the enemy did more things, destroying the rhizome system, still not to investigate the source of the explosion, or it is very clear what is causing the explosion, fundamentally knows the principle and there are already people going there The building is empty, there is no point in investigating."

"Or, it is clear that that kind of thing is less threatening to it than the octahedron and rhizome system..."

Huo Gu felt that he was about to touch the other party's true face.

However, something in the universe interrupted Hogu's deduction and pulled him back to reality from his inner thinking.

The cell clusters located in the low-earth orbit of the planet have never interrupted the collection of electromagnetic waves from the surrounding environment. At this point in time when the enemy of the planet is dismembering the rhizome system, at a certain position, both ultraviolet radiation and infrared radiation have obvious amplification phenomena .

Huogu then adjusted the viewing distance and caught the owner of the electromagnetic wave, which was a comet!
