Chapter 117: Chapter 117 Growing Mushrooms
Two hundred and sixty-eight days and nights have passed since the last rhizome invasion launched by Huo Gu.
Since that new occurrence, the atmosphere of the whole colony has become more and more delicate. The pedestrians on the streets have transitioned from the original bustling to only a handful of today. The army is stationed at the intersections of the streets and alleys. Some commercial areas have been pushed down, and thick chimneys have been erected. The black smoke.
This will happen, mainly because the Star Harbor was destroyed, the colony and the connection between the home planet was broken, and the supplies from the home planet were lost. The colony was in an early stage and still could not be completely self-sufficient.
Almost all items soared overnight, including plastic cartons and other waste. Only the price of food did not fluctuate too much. The phrase "Food is the first day for the people" is applicable everywhere. At the beginning, in order to stabilize the hearts of the people in the colony, agriculture was the first industry to develop.
The factory is crowded, and most of the civilians have lost their original jobs and come to this place to engage in parts processing.
The song and dance of the past is gone forever, and all that remains is the numbness of the machine and the roaring metal knocking sound in the factory.
As the bell of the factory rang, the running machinery stalled, and the workers who kept processing parts could finally catch their breath in the compact workflow.
Although they know that this kind of rest is only temporary, it is not to give them time to rest, but to give the machine a rest.
When the machine cooling time is over, they will return to repetitive work again.
"When will such a day come to an end..."
Some people complain and some people persuade.
"Patience, wait a minute. The colony has lost contact. It is impossible for the home planet not to know. The rescue fleet may already be on the way."
"Would those nobles of the home planet care about our life and death?"
"Those noble masters can't wait to squeeze all our values."
For persuasion, it is more sneer.
However, the words behind the persuader made them change their minds.
"Indeed, they don't care about our life or death. It doesn't matter to them whether we die or not, but it is difficult for the colonies to develop again. They spent so much money and invested so much time, energy and material here. If they lost their blood, I'm afraid they will commit suicide."
"In contrast, the cost of organizing the fleet's long-range rescue is also very high, but compared with the colonies, it is not even a fraction. As long as they are not fools, they can understand how to choose."
These words made many workers who were engaged in repetitive work and had a little rigid brains open up one after another, and the depression in their hearts was much easier.
"...Brother, what did you do before you entered the factory? What kind of big man is he?"
"Oh, how can a big man come here? I'm just an interested businessman."
"That's right."
With that, the worker skillfully picked up the cup and was about to take a sip and replenish the water. Then he noticed the abnormal movement in the cup, and circles of fine microwave lines appeared on the surface of the water.
"Is there an earthquake?"
He looked at the others in surprise, and others seemed to have noticed the abnormality. The previous worker who claimed to be a 'businessman' looked at the ground strangely.
"No, if it's an earthquake, we should have heard it earlier."
Before an earthquake occurs, seismic waves will appear, and seismic waves belong to the category of incisonic waves. This sound is inaudible to humans, but it is another matter for creatures that communicate with incisonic waves.
"Maybe it's a special situation on this planet."
"Maybe..."
At this time, it is located at the other end of the planet, where there is an additional giant structure, but it is different from the giant structure of the round platform that goes straight to the scattered layer.
This giant structure is very short, only a distance beyond the ozone layer.The appearance structure looks more like a donut. The circle area in the middle is 30 kilometers in diameter, but this is the structure on the ground. Nearly 90% of this giant structure is buried in the ground. Counting the appearance of the ground, it is a huge hollow tube structure.
"Report the will, the 'heart-strengthening agent' is in place, and the launch order is requested."
"The order is passed, and the second recovery operation begins."
Subsequently, a violent hydrogen and oxygen explosion occurred in the meteorite, which was originally consistent with the movement of the planet and remained relatively still, and fell to the surface.
The huge mass is even shaking the air. It is an asteroid with a diameter of 12 kilometers.
Soon the atmospheric structure was broken through layer by layer, and the meteorite was about to fall into the circle area inside the giant structure.
Huo Gu looked at the sky from the perspective of the circle through the rhizome. The hot wind and air waves were roaring, the ground was flying sand and stone, and the fire of the red lotus was from top to bottom, covering the sky and the sun.
Three words can completely summarize the scene seen at this time - the sky is falling.
The meteorite collided with the ground, and a terrible shock wave appeared, and the rhizomes in the giant circle were instantly torn to pieces. The air wave wrapped in impact fluctuation energy was intercepted by the giant metal wall, but the shock wave still exists, one kilometer away from the giant structure. The clouds were scattered in an instant.
The travel route is blocked, and the shock wave is immediately adjusted and released in the direction with the least pressure.
A columnar jet is formed. In a few blinks, a mushroom grows on the ground, which even breaks through the stratosphere and goes deep into the middle layer.
In Huo Gu's thinking, there are more circles of ripples on the three-dimensional model of the planet, and then it clicks a few times, and the trajectory of the ripples changes, and most of them are bound to the geocentric area.
In reality, the rhizome also reacts accordingly according to Huo Gu's thinking, sets up a deflection frame under the ground, and gives the wave guide to the center of the earth.
"Will, isn't it a little too messy to do this?"
This is the second time that they have experienced this kind of thing, but the collectors who wait for a long time are still very scared. They always feel that the planet below will soon fall out because of this messy tossing behavior.
"What are you worried about?"
"That guy is very strong and graviating. Even if it is cracked, it will soon recover. It can't be broken."
"But is this really useful?"
"Of course it is useful. When the meteorite hits the planet, the potential energy will be converted into energy release, heat energy, kinetic energy, and internal energy, and what we need is internal energy. Thermal energy and kinetic energy have been constrained by the giant structure, and the impact range has been reduced to a minimum. The rest is enough to smash it."
Just as Huo Gu was explaining, a message was transmitted to the channel.
[...Huo...Gu...Stop...Hand...very...pain...]
"Emanent, you see, isn't it very effective? Go on."
"Yes!"
