Taproots grew from the seabed to the land, straight across the beach that took away the lives of the group, and headed towards the highest point of the volcanic island.

Soon, one after another, taproots merged with the two previous taproots that landed in the crater.

After the intersection is completed, the roots of the main root are deeply rooted in the surrounding terrain and expand and grow among the piles of rocks.

The microscopic structure of rock is actually not solid, and roots at the molecular scale can easily penetrate into the rock formations and criss-cross them without any hindrance.

"Very good, the fixed rock formation is completed."

Hogu, who had transferred himself to the inside of the titanium snail, watched with satisfaction the progress of the rhizome system on the volcanic island.

After encountering that super wave, Huo Gu was inspired. If physical methods were used to transfer hardware, he could transfer his own thinking body to other cell cluster individuals in disguise.

A new type of rhizome extends from this. The interior of the rhizome is mainly composed of sensing cells. This rhizome is used to bridge the nodular mass on the seabed with the sensing area of ​​the titanium snail, allowing the two areas to form a whole. When the mind is transferred to

After reaching another area, cut off the physical connection of the rhizome and the transfer is completed.

"The roots have already established an intricate network structure in the rock formation. In this way, the purpose of strengthening the geological structure of the island has been achieved, and the next step can be taken."

Under Huogu's instructions, a taproot that existed on the seabed that was obviously many times thicker than other roots grew from the seafloor to the shore, and continued until it reached the foot of the volcano on the island before stopping.

Although this taproot looks the same as other taproots, it is different internally.

Its interior is hollow, and its thick appearance is deceptive. In fact, its volume is no different from a normal taproot.

The reason why this taproot looks like this is because it plays a core role in this plan.

It did not advance into the volcanic crater and merge with the main root like other main roots. Instead, under Huogu's instructions, it plunged into the volcanic rock rubble.

Through the information transmitted back from this tap root, Huogu could feel a strong resistance. This resistance came from the rock formation. Obviously, this was the result of the tap root being too thick.

"It was a miscalculation. The pressure in the rock formation is greater than expected. Although it is true that the main root can continue to move forward, at this speed, it will probably take years and months to dig through."

After being annoyed for a while, Huo Gu thought of a compromise.

"In this case, let's divide it into three areas."

"First let the head shrink to the thickness of roots to create a growth area for easy drilling in rock formations."

"The part behind the head gradually grows to the thickness of a normal taproot, which is the elongation zone and is responsible for extending the length of the rhizome."

"The part behind the elongation zone is the mature zone. The rhizomes in the elongation zone will fully expand their internal space and form the pipe cavity necessary for the plan."

"Well, that's it!"

The rhizome that received the order still grew forward through cell division in the rock formation, but it followed Huogu's idea.

The effect is indeed very obvious. If I have to describe it, the drilling speed before was as fast as a person walking, but now, the drilling speed is like an F1 racing car.

Huo Gu can clearly feel the reduction in resistance.

Without a timing tool, Huogu didn't know exactly how long had passed. He only knew that a long period of time had passed. During this period, Huogu used the spare organic materials to expand the number of titanium snails to three.

There are more than ten gourds, and the number of gourds has returned to the original level of more than four hundred.

Since there is no light in the formation, and there is no reference to determine the direction, it is very likely that drilling will occur incorrectly. To avoid it, Hogu can only use the information sent back by the entire rhizome system to compare and model each other, but even if

Even with this method, there was a possibility of getting it wrong, so Huo Gu was not completely sure about its one-time success.

When Hogu received a signal, he knew that the root drilling work was finally coming to an end.

The triggering condition for this signal comes from the outside, namely - the unnatural death of cells at the head of the rhizome.

Huogu immediately gave an order to the rhizome that was being drilled, and the elongation zone stopped elongating, and the entire rhizome turned into a mature zone, expanding the internal cavity channel to the limit.

The cells in the elongation zone and growth zone begin to gradually inject carbon dioxide into their own portion of the cavity, using the volume of gas to expand the cavity channel in the rock formation.

This is the way to expand the cavity in the mature zone. It is the gas that resists the pressure of the rock formation rather than the rhizome itself, and the energy consumed is negligible.

Strength is inversely proportional to size. The larger the size of the material, the smaller the strength.

As the entire main root was completely spread out in the rock formation, with only a thin wall separating it from the rhizome, the lava with a temperature of up to 1,200 degrees Celsius finally broke through the wall and came into contact with the drilled rhizome.

Under such high temperatures, even the high-temperature-resistant cell membrane that Hogu had specially prepared was of no avail. The charred and carbonized head in front of the main root was instantly washed away by the lava flow, and the cavity pipes inside the rhizome were completely exposed.

In front of the lava flow.

Lava is also a kind of liquid, and it also follows the law of pressure. Pressure has nothing to do with volume. This law is only related to height. As long as the height of the liquid is higher, the strength at the bottom of the container will be greater. This is also the case in the deep sea.

The fundamental reason why there is such strong water pressure but not in shallow seas.

Now, driven by the water pressure, the lava rushes along the cavity pipes inside the rhizome. Wherever it passes, the rhizome cells are destroyed by carbonization. However, due to the high temperature of the lava, the pipes expanded by the rhizome are still

is retained.

The rushing lava will not always follow the trajectory of the cavity pipe. At the moment it leaves the range of the rock formation, the cavity pipe can no longer form any restraint on the lava flow. The violent lava flow breaks out of the cavity and spreads out in all directions.

It seemed like it turned into thousands of fiery snakes crawling out of hell and rushed towards the seaside.

All of this, Huo Gudu saw, was what he wanted to do.

Drilling the roots of the mountain is a sacrifice, in order to drill through the foot of the volcano and create a channel to release the lava.

The lava of this volcano has very good fluidity and is not prone to clogging. This is information summarized from the data through previous investigations.

Hogu will continue to create more than ten similar tunnels at the foot of the mountain to increase the amount of lava released. When the lava of a volcano can no longer pose a threat and can no longer form a sealed space that can accumulate pressure, then what danger does it still have?

What can be said?
