Chapter 18 Expansion

As the last gap in the cavity is filled by the sensing cells, the expansion organ of the life field is completed.

Through the perception of the water flow on both sides of the fins, Huogu can clearly feel that the cell cluster is sinking little by little. The reason is precisely from the newly created life field expansion organ. To understand it another way, it is equivalent to the many cells inside the cell cluster.

A big rock came out.

"I didn't expect my weight to increase so much. I'd better take the last step as soon as possible. I hope it works."

Adjust the direction of the fins, and the downward momentum immediately slows down.

Hogu ordered individual cells to be split in the water storage chamber, and then the cell clusters were discharged together with the compressed and ejected water.

At the same time, Hogu adjusted the vitreous body of the eye and locked the cells that discharged the cell clusters.

"Now, start transcribing genes and copying yourself."

Huogu gave instructions to the experimental cells that were excluded from the cell cluster. Whether the experiment could succeed or not depended on what kind of results would follow.

Under Hogu's undivided attention, a change occurred to its delight. The experimental cell did respond by dividing, and after collecting enough amino acid materials, it began to replicate new individuals.

This also indicates that its idea is indeed effective, and the scope of the unknown body's life field has indeed been expanded.

After getting the result, Huogu couldn't wait to issue the order again. This time, the target of the order was an entire cell cluster.

The cells are dividing, and all the cells in the entire cell cluster are dividing.

The whole process is like the self-replication of cells. A central axis appears in the middle. Using this central axis as a mirror, the cell cluster stretches to both sides and completes the missing parts.

In just a moment, a completely new copy of the cell cluster was born.

"very good!"

Hogu stared at the 'mirror body' of this cell cluster with satisfaction. He found that its field of vision had increased again, and it was accompanied by an indescribable feeling.

This feeling is exactly the 'pleasure' that can only be felt by completing the inter-cell bonding again and again when the complete thinking has not been restored.

The shackles that imprisoned me have been released again!

"It seems that the path I chose is not wrong..."

"From now on, you are cluster number two."

Hogu defined the newly emerged cell cluster to make it easier to distinguish it from the original cell cluster. At the same time, he defined the original cell cluster as number one.

"Next comes the test."

"No. 2, move straight away from No. 1 to test the maximum distance of the life field. During this period, I will keep transmitting command signals. If the command signal is no longer received, I will turn around and return immediately."

After receiving the command, Cluster No. 2 immediately activated the water storage chamber and quickly widened the distance from Cluster No. 1.

This process, No. 1's visual system, has been watching with concentration.

When No. 2 returned, Huo Gu immediately knew what the current radius of this life field was. This was very easy. It could be easily accomplished through optical path measurement.

"50m, plus or minus 4m."

Huo Gu couldn't help but feel glad that he had made preparations before, otherwise he would have had to go to a lot of trouble to do other things, such as understanding the specific concept of "one meter".

Every time he thought about this, Huo Gu had to admire the protagonists in online novels who traveled to the Stone Age. They were able to find out the specific length of 'one meter' without any tools, because it couldn't be done.

Such accurate guessing.

Compared to them, Hogu had a lot of trouble finding the 'one meter'. The diameter of a water molecule is 4×10^-10m. By arranging one million water molecules in a straight line, he got 'one meter'.

Centimeter' is the unit of length, and then the distance is multiplied by one hundred to get the concept of 'one meter'.

"Although the distance is much better than the few meters originally expected, 50m is still too short."

After a while, Cluster No. 2 returned to the initial location, and Hogu gave another order, the same order as before, but this time it was slightly different, that is, there was a new individual cluster, which was No. 3.

No. 3 set off before No. 2 returned to the starting point, heading to the edge of the life field where No. 2 had just arrived, and Hogu's instruction to it was to stay at the edge of the life field.

This time, No. 2 went straight past No. 3's position and moved further away.

"Very good, the relay station experiment was successful."

Hogu knew that it had taken a big step forward. This was a formal change. The success of relaying instructions meant that as long as there were enough cell clusters, it could extend the instructions to infinity.

Of course, as the distance increases, there may be delays in the arrival time of instructions.

"No. 2, stop at the edge where the command was received."

Following the command, the fins on both sides of No. 2 changed their angles and stopped after gliding for a certain distance.

Next is the last experiment. With the first two successful experiments, Huo Gu is full of confidence this time.

"Transfer!"

"..."

He stayed like that for a while, nothing happened.

"My posture must be wrong, um, come again."

"I jump!"

"..."

This time it was the same as last time, nothing happened.

"Strange, why can't I move to cell clusters No. 2 and No. 3?"

"Hasn't the life field network already been constructed? Logically speaking, I should be able to get to No. 2 and No. 3."

After pondering for a while, Huogu had no choice but to give up. He didn't even understand the mechanism of the field source, so naturally he couldn't start.

"Wouldn't this mean that I would be trapped in the cell cluster No. 1?"

Huogu complained in distress, but he couldn't find the key point of the problem, where it was.

The last experiment is to change the host body, just like changing clothes, taking off the old clothes and putting on new clothes. But the problem now is that if the old clothes cannot be taken off, the new clothes cannot be changed.

This last experiment was undoubtedly a failure.

"If this is the case, then I can no longer let Cluster No. 1 take risks..."

"Fortunately, this time it was not fruitless."

All the cell clusters turned their attention to the nearby smoke column rising from the seabed.

"No. 2, set off and go to the nearby alkaline waters to explore the situation."

"Advance No. 3 as a relay station."

"No. 1 is on standby to create more cell clusters for relaying instructions."

Huo Gu thought of the alkaline waters that made him feel itchy and curious. With his current abilities, he had nothing to fear.
