In the waters one mile away from the volcanic island, there lies a slender cone. This is the finished product designed by Huogu after racking his brains.

The length of the cone has reached eight meters, and its mass is not comparable to the previous cell cluster. Even in the turbulent waves, it is only swaying slightly.

This kind of creature, in the Hadean eon when the biosphere was still in the microbial stage, could already be regarded as a "mythical beast". Apart from looking up, there was nothing left to do but look up.

At the end of the cone, there are several tentacles formed by a combination of muscle cells and carbon nanofibers and equipped with suction cups.

The function and principle of the suction cup are the same as those of the tentacle suction cup of cephalopods. They both secrete mucus and create a vacuum environment in the suction cup to achieve the adsorption effect on objects. They can be used to absorb objects and can also be used to fix the body on the body.

On a certain object, you can also grasp the direction while traveling at high speed.

There are a total of six tentacles like this at the tail of the cone.

There are four eyes on the cone, three of which are on the slope of the cone. Each eye observes a 120-degree viewing angle. The fourth eye is in the center of the tail to ensure that there are no blind spots in the field of vision.

In order to ensure the safety of the eyes while traveling at high speed, the outside of the eyes will be covered with a layer of silicon crystal with a certain carbon content added, which is the tempered glass that is widely used in human civilization.

The conical shell is silver-white with a silver-grey metallic luster. It is a titanium alloy shell, which is lighter, stronger and less dense than iron of the same volume.

The structure of the shell is divided into three layers. The innermost layer and the outermost layer are made of titanium alloy. The two middle layers are grids constructed of nanocarbon fibers. In this way, even if the outermost layer of titanium alloy is damaged, the second layer

The nanofibers can also play a very good role in offsetting the buffer. The third layer of titanium alloy can also defend against attacks that can penetrate the titanium alloy defense.

The color of the head of the cone is slightly different from that of the outer shell, which is steel gray.

This part is not a titanium alloy, but chromium, with a Mohs hardness of 9. As the hardest diamond in nature, the Mohs hardness is 10. It is as easy to penetrate into rock as it is to penetrate into soft mud.

Huo Gu did not abandon some of the original designs used on the gourds, but continued to apply them to his newly designed individual.

The two pairs of 'fins' on both sides of the shell are used to complete maneuvers during high-speed sailing, or to stabilize the course. In addition, Hogu also made certain modifications to the design of the new individual and the 'fins' of the hoist, making it

Able to shrink back into the body, like a turtle.

Power system, inside this conical body, there are two sets of power systems, one is the original jet propulsion.

Huo Gu did not give up this propulsion method. He mainly liked the feature of being 'recyclable in water', so he retained it as a regular propulsion method.

Corresponding to the conventional propulsion method, the other set is rocket-type propulsion with metal sodium columns as the core, which is a consumption-type propulsion method.

The chemical properties of metallic sodium are very active, especially when it comes into contact with water, huge energy will be released immediately.

Someone once did an experiment and threw two fist-sized pieces of sodium metal into the river. The power was not much worse than a grenade, and this was not a one-time release. The explosion lasted several times, and the waves in the river were

It was lifted to a height of seven or eight meters, and the explosion on the water surface did not stop until the metal sodium was thrown away by the reaction force of the explosion.

The interior of the cone was divided into two areas by Hogu, namely the front part and the back part. The first part mainly carries sensory cells, which are used to expand the life field.

The expanded coverage radius of the cone's life field can already reach a distance of about one nautical mile, which is a full thirty-six times greater than the original gourd.

The rear part is equipped with a jet propulsion system. The design is still the same as before. There is an opening on the slope that can be opened and closed automatically. During normal propulsion, the microorganisms in the water are swallowed up, digested in the small digestive cavity, and then used as a jet medium to be transported to the

The water storage chamber located at the rear sprays out.

The only difference from before is that the water storage chamber occupies a much smaller proportion of the body, and is replaced by several small water storage chambers to provide propulsion in the water.

Rocket propulsion is different. The sodium column is at the central axis and runs through the front and rear parts.

This method of propulsion is a means of escape when encountering a catastrophic event, and can reach a very high speed in a short period of time.

Of course, there are also disadvantages. How far and how fast it can run depends entirely on the amount of fuel. As for the metal sodium used as the reaction fuel, compared with other elements, the time it takes to make it can be described as a turtle speed.

That's why Huogu arranged it as a propulsion method to be used when escaping.

At the tail of the cone, there are six grooves corresponding to the tentacles, which were specially designed by Hogu to allow the gourd to ride on the newly designed cluster individuals.

Nothing can be perfect. While large size brings many benefits to new individuals, it also means that some limitations will also accompany it.

And allowing small individuals like Hu to ride inside the new individual and act together can form a good complement, and each can help the other to accomplish things that the other cannot do.

"The design is complete, but I haven't thought of a name yet..."

"What should I call it?"

After solving one problem, Huo Gu fell into another tangled dilemma.

"The design template is a straight-shell nautilus. In terms of appearance, it is similar to a snail... so the name should have the word 'snail'."

"The shell is made of titanium alloy. This is the most significant difference from the straight-shell Nautilus, so there should also be a word 'titanium'..."

"To sum it up, it's called...'Titanium Snail'?"

When he pronounced this name, Huo Gu obviously felt an inexplicable strange feeling, as if he had heard this word somewhere but couldn't remember it.

After thinking for a long time, I couldn't recall why I felt so familiar with this name.

If he couldn't understand it, he just didn't think about it. Huo Gu chose to give up. He still had a lot of things to be busy with.

"Forget it, maybe it's the name of an acquaintance. Since it's an acquaintance, it won't hurt to borrow it."

"Well, that's the truth."

After saying that, Huo Gu turned his attention to the volcanic island and completed the design and production of the titanium snail. Next, it was the turn of the volcanic island's transformation project.

If it succeeds, then Hogu will have a relatively stable base. If it fails, it will at most be a volcanic eruption in the form of a side leakage, and Hogu will not be threatened at all.
