As we move away from the bottom of the water, the strange rocks around the cell cluster gradually become sparse, and the water as the spray medium is gradually exhausted.

At this time, you need to use inertia to fill the water storage cavity with water.

"Open the water inlet valve...huh?!"

Something beyond Huogu's expectation happened.

The water inlet pipes actually became blocked after absorbing water for a while, and could no longer guide the water flow at all.

Such an accident directly caused the jet propulsion to be unable to continue, and the speed of the cell cluster also gradually slowed down.

As the speed decreases, the fit of the water inlet returns to the previous state of separate pipes.

"Bernoulli's principle..."

"How could I forget this?"

After watching the entire process of pipeline change, Huogu realized what the problem was.

Bernoulli's principle is a basic law in fluid mechanics that only applies to ideal fluids with negligible viscosity and incompressibility.

That is, the faster the flow rate, the smaller the pressure.

This law can be easily demonstrated in some small experiments. For example, if you blow between two pieces of paper, the pieces of paper will stick together.

The reason why they stick together is because of the pressure. Blow air between the pieces of paper, allowing the air to flow and the pressure in the middle becomes smaller, so the pieces of paper stick together.

The same situation also occurs in the water inlet pipe, but it is not the flow of air that causes the pressure to decrease, but the water flow.

"This water inlet seems to be unusable..."

If you want to avoid the pipes from sticking together, you need to thicken the pipe walls and use the structure to resist the pressure...

"But in this way, the weight of meaninglessness will also increase..."

In order to ensure speed, how to utilize quality efficiently has become Huogu's first priority.

It would be great if there was a channel connecting the outside to introduce water into the cell cluster...

"Wait a minute, isn't there one?"

Huo Gu, who was in a tangled state, focused his attention on the digestive cavity, which was connected to the mouth and divided into six small parts.

Huo Gu was pleasantly surprised and murmured to himself with a little annoyance.

"Why didn't I think of it earlier?"

The debugging came to an end, and Hogu re-sealed the water inlet of the cell cluster, and the water storage cavity was connected to the digestive cavity.

Then, six small digestive chambers and a large water storage cavity are separated by six small valves.

Under the surface of the digestive cavity, Hogu added muscle cells, so that the process of expelling water into the water storage cavity can be realized.

When the digestive cavity has digested all the microorganisms in the water, it will push the water into the water storage cavity as a spray medium. At the same time, rapid travel can also facilitate the rapid capture of microorganisms.

After debugging, Hogu set sail again.

This time's route was different from the vertical one before. It was gliding diagonally upward.

Previously, Hogu had done it as a last resort in order to quickly escape from the dangerous area of ​​the volcano.

In fact, it is very dangerous to move vertically upstream like this. If it is not done correctly, the entire cell cluster may explode due to the difference in water pressure between the internal and external waters.

As the altitude climbed, Huogu's field of vision also gradually expanded. The bright spots of hydropower stations and the soaring smoke columns fully introduced to him how many active hydropower stations there were at the bottom of the water body.

volcano.

"my God……"

"The water in this place, even if it doesn't reach boiling water, is probably around seventy or eighty degrees, right?"

The height continued to rise. Due to the turbidity of the water, Huogu gradually could only see sporadic bright spots. Later, he couldn't see anything at all. The surroundings were pitch black and there was nothing.

Without the dim light brought by the volcano, Hogu could not see anything.

"Fortunately, fortunately, I thought of this possibility early on and made secondary preparations."

Huo Gu secretly rejoiced at his foresight. Its perspective became different again. The whole world seemed to be divided by criss-crossing thin lines. Those were magnetic induction lines.

The thing that gives Hogu this ability is a very small amount of iron tetroxide hidden in every cell, commonly known as a 'magnet'.

However, what happened next was completely beyond Huo Gu's expectations.

The magnetic lines of induction were shaking like a convulsion and gradually changing. Huogu watched all this in disbelief.

There are still criss-crossing magnetic lines, but it is completely different from the previous layout.

After a long time, Huo Gu held back a sentence.

"...Where is this crappy place?"

The magnetic field was chaotic. Huo Gu quickly summarized the phenomenon and came to this conclusion. It also meant that magnetic induction in this place was already useless.

Because the magnetic induction Huogu was 100% sure, after all, it was just a simple compass principle. At that time, it did not want to test it.

Therefore, it was not discovered until now that the magnetic field where it is located is disordered.

"This place is in the water after all. As long as you keep moving upwards, it's fine... right?"

That was true, but Huo Gu could always feel a vague sense of uneasiness that he didn't know where it came from.

Thinking that it was the psychological effects of his escape from the volcano, Hogu made up his mind and continued to slide upwards.

With the digestive cavity as a relay, jet propulsion has a long-term endurance. As long as the microorganisms in the water are not eliminated and sufficient protein and amino acids are ensured, it is no problem to move continuously for several days with a propulsion method such as cell clusters.

I don’t know how long or how far I have been sliding up. After all, there is no reference object or timing machine. There are many things that Huo Gu cannot give an accurate picture.

At this moment, there was still nothing around, but the change was particularly obvious. It was no longer almost completely dark, but there was now a certain degree of visibility, and Hogu could also feel the changes in the flow through his cilia.

The water gradually becomes neutral, which is the end of the world for acidophilic bacteria, but it is not a problem for Hogu. As long as the cell membrane is properly adjusted to a certain extent, the inactivation of the cell membrane can be avoided.

"It must be a very 'lively' place up there, maybe I should be more careful..."

The further he slid up, the more Huo Gu could feel the movement. The water flow before was gurgling, or even non-current at all, but now, it was surging.

Relying on the movement of its fins, Hogu steered the current very carefully. He wanted to take a look at the situation above no matter what. Taking risks to satisfy his curiosity was his usual practice.

If it weren't for the fact that it was already an old skeleton when it was a human being, it would have boarded the rocket in person, run to the Mars base, and see those humanoid skeletons with its own eyes.
