Chapter 26: Chapter 26 Titanium Conch
In the waters one nautical mile away from the volcanic island, there is a slender cone lying across. This is the finished product designed by Huo Gu after racking his brains.
The cone has reached eight meters in length, and its mass is not comparable to that of the previous cell cluster. Even in the surging waves, it is only slightly shaking.
This kind of creature, in the microbiosphere of the ancient world, was still in the microbial stage. This can already be regarded as the category of \'divine beast\'. In addition to looking up, there is only looking up.
At the end of the cone, there are several tentacles formed by a combination of muscle cells and carbon nanofibers with suction cups.
The function and principle of the suction cup are consistent with the tentacle suction cup of cephalopods. It is to achieve the adsorption effect of objects by secreting mucus and creating a vacuum environment in the suction cup. It is used to adsorb objects. In turn, the body can be fixed to an object, and by the way, it can also grasp the direction at high speed.
There are six tentacles like this in total 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 angle, and the fourth eye is in the center of the tail to ensure that no dead angle of vision is left.
In order to ensure the safety of the eyes in high-speed travel, the outside of the eyes will be covered with a layer of silicon crystals with a certain carbon content, that is, tempered glass widely used in human civilization.
The conical shell is silver-white with a silver-gray metallic luster. This is a titanium alloy shell, which is lighter, stronger and less denser than iron of the same volume.
The structure of the shell is divided into three layers. The innermost layer and the outermost layer are titanium alloys. The two middle layers are grids made of nanocarbon fiber. In this way, even if the outermost titanium alloy is damaged, the second layer of nanofibers can also play a good role in cushioning, and the third layer of titanium alloy can also be defended and can be hit. Attacks defended through titanium alloy.
There is a slight difference in the color of the head and shell of the cone, which is steel gray.
This part is not titanium alloy, but \'chromium\' with a Mohs hardness of 9. As the most hardest diamond in nature, the Mohs hardness is 10. It is as easy to prick into a rock as soft mud.
Huo Gu did not abandon some of the original designs used on the gourd, but continued to apply them to his new design.
The two pairs of \' fins\' on both sides of the shell are used to complete maneuvering or stabilize the course in high-speed navigation. In addition, Huo Gu has also made some modifications to the design of the new individual and the gourd\'s \' fin\' to a certain extent so that it can shrink back to the body, just like a turtle.
Power system, in this cone, there are two sets of power system, one of which is the original jet propulsion.
Huo Gu did not give up this propulsion method. He mainly focused on the characteristics of \'recyclable in water\', so he kept it as a conventional propulsion method.
Corresponding to the conventional propulsion mode, the other is a rocket propulsion with a metal sodium column as the core, which is a consumable propulsion mode.
The chemical properties of sodium metal are very lively, especially after contact with water, a huge amount of energy will be released immediately.
Someone once made an experiment to throw two fist-sized sodium metal into the river, which caused no less power than a grenade, and this was not a one-time release. The explosion lasted several times. The spray in the river was lifted to a height of seven or eight meters, until the metal sodium did not know where it was thrown by the reaction force of the explosion. Fang, this kind of water surface explosion stopped.
The interior of the cone is divided into two areas by Huo Gu, the front and the back. The first part mainly carries perceptual cells to expand the life field.
The radius of the extended coverage of the life field of the cone can reach a distance of about one nautical mile. Compared with the original gourd, it has increased by 36 times.
The rear part is the placement of jet propulsion. The design is still the same as the original. There is an opening that can be opened and closed automatically on the slope. During the conventional propulsion, the microorganisms in the water are devouring, digested in the small digestive cavity, and then used as a jet medium, it is transported to the water storage cavity at the rear and sprayed out.
The only difference from the past is that the proportion of the water storage cavity occupying the body is much smaller, and it has been changed to several small water storage chambers to provide propulsion in the water.
The rocket propulsion is different. The sodium column is in the central axis, which runs through the front and back parts.
This way of propulsion is a means of escape in the event of catastrophic events, which can enter a high speed in a short time.
Of course, there are disadvantages. How far you can run and how fast you can run depends entirely on the amount of fuel. Compared with other elements, the time spent on making sodium metal as a reactive fuel can be described as turtle speed.
That\'s why Huo Gu arranged it as the propulsion method used when escaping.
At the end of the cone, there are six grooves corresponding to the tentacle, which is specially designed by Huo Gu to allow the gourd to ride on the newly designed cluster individuals.
Nothing can be perfect. While the large size brings many benefits to new individuals,also means that some limitations will also accompany.
And let a small individual like Hu take a ride into the new individual and act together, which can form a good complementarity and help each other to complete what each other can\'t do.
"The design is finished, but I haven\'t figured out the name yet..."
"What should I call it?"
After solving a problem, Huo Gu fell into another tangled dilemma.
"The design template is a straight-shell nautilus, which is similar to a snail in terms of appearance... So in terms of appellation, there should be a word \'snail\'."
"The shell is made of titanium alloy, which is the most significant difference from the straight-shell nautilus, so there should also be a word \'titanium\'..."
"To sum up, it\'s called... \'titanium snail\'?"
When he read the name, Huo Gu obviously felt an inexplicable strange feeling, as if he had heard the word somewhere, but he couldn\'t remember it.
After thinking for a long time, I couldn\'t recall why I was so sensitive to the name.
If you don\'t understand, you just don\'t want to. Huo Gu chose to give up. He still has a lot of things to do.
"Forget it, maybe it\'s the name of an acquaintance. Since it\'s an acquaintance, it won\'t be good to borrow it."
"Well, that\'s the reason."
After saying that, Huo Gu\'s attention turned to the volcanic island, completed the design and production of the titanium snail, and then it was the turn of the transformation of the volcanic island.
If it succeeds, Huogu will have a relatively stable station. If it fails, it will be at most a volcanic eruption in the form of side leakage, and Huogu will not be threatened at all.
Of course, it is still necessary to be prepared to run in the event of an accident.
