How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 468 Proton Lattice Body

On the planet, creatures that looked like spheres crawled on the ground. They lined up in a long line and jumped down from the pool of a lake in an orderly manner.

These are teams for producing metal hydrogen. Their spherical metal skeleton structure is filled with liquid hydrogen, and they rely on six fangs to move. The volume is equivalent to a truck. Most of the volume is solid metal hydrogen. The organism itself is not much.

Although organisms have brains, they are not very developed, so they are only animals that can simply obey the call of the collector and have a life field. After all, their tasks do not require too much intelligence. The meaning of existence is to carry a ball full of of liquid hydrogen, then jump into a lake and embrace death.

As the depth drops, the water pressure becomes higher and higher, and the organism, together with the external water body, adjusts the internal and external pressure to the same level to avoid cell death, but the barren brain has been necrotic due to lack of nutrients, so this is a A living corpse, the cells are still alive, but the brain is gone.

Cells spontaneously collect impurities in the water body, and the result of doing so is that their own structure will eventually harden and become necrotic, but this is a very slow process.

As the depth continues to descend and reaches a very deep place, the spherical volume begins to change, because the pressure is so great that it has acted on the level of the atomic structure.

The increase in pressure causes the distance between the two hydrogen atoms to shrink, and what is the result of this shortening?

One electron will be ejected, and two protons share one electron. The reason is that the lowest energy level electron orbit cannot accommodate two electrons, and the allotropic structure of hydrogen molecules is born under such pressure.

Of course, as a container for encapsulating liquid hydrogen, the external metal skeleton will also be compressed in this environment, but the atomic sequence of the elements that make up the metal skeleton is relatively high, and only one level of electrons has been squeezed out, and there are other levels. Extranuclear electrons serve as support.

However, it is foreseeable that after the water pressure disappears, the extra-nuclear electrons will be refilled, and then the volume of the container skeleton will return to the size of normal pressure, and the hydrogen nuclei compressed into liquid metal hydrogen will also recapture the nuclei. The outer electrons return to the original liquid hydrogen.

Of course, the collectors will not let this kind of thing happen, otherwise, wouldn't it be meaningless to spend a lot of time sinking the liquid hydrogen into the bottom of the water?

After a period of time, the metal skeleton is in contact with the bottom of the water. At this time, it is one, and the force of the water pressure is omnidirectional and uniform, so it still maintains the appearance and structure of the sphere, but the volume is much smaller than before.

There are no cells on the sphere, the original cells have been completely hardened into a metal skeleton, and then the compressed metal hydrogen outside, using the original metal skeleton as a material, re-constructed a metal skeleton container that can exist stably under normal temperature and pressure.

Then, due to the density, the metal ball gradually sank into the soft mud at the bottom of the water, but this 'slime' is not a dead thing, it is alive, and it is an underwater structure composed of many calcium bone cells. They will follow the instructions of the life field, push the metal skeleton container filled with liquid metal hydrogen to the rhizome, and then push the container to the surface through muscles.

This is the entire process of forming liquid metal hydrogen. The manufacturing principle of solid metal hydrogen is similar, but the depth is deeper, the water pressure is greater and more terrifying, so it is more difficult.

The produced liquid metal hydrogen was quickly arranged by the collectors. This is the material they used to make the gamma protective layer.

Liquid metal hydrogen is sent to the hive for processing.

Liquid metal hydrogen is just like its name, it is liquid, but in this state it still has a molecular structure, but this structure is rather special, that is, two proton nuclei share one extranuclear electron.

The structure of the molecular level belongs to the category that the collectors are capable of processing. For this reason, the metal skeleton is flattened, and the liquid metal hydrogen will be flattened together.

Each molecular structure of liquid metal hydrogen will be neatly arranged, because the movable gap is just the diameter of the liquid hydrogen molecule, so molecular movement can only be carried out in two-dimensional directions.

At this point, further processing can be carried out, but this processing step needs to be carried out at the bottom of the water, and it is deeper than the bottom of the water where liquid metal hydrogen was processed before.

Because only in this way can sufficient water pressure be formed to form solid metal hydrogen.

The processed liquid metal hydrogen is not thrown into the deep well, but is sent to the ground by the rhizome. The direction of the water pressure is omnidirectional, which is not conducive to processing the liquid metal hydrogen into a flat and extremely dense solid metal hydrogen. , will only be compressed into a spherical structure when the solid metal hydrogen is formed, which is not the result that the collectors want.

So there is only one solution, that is to send it directly to the bottom of the water, and bear the pressure at the bottom of the water. Because it is the bottom of the water, the direction of the water pressure tends to be one-way. In this way, a flattened solid metal hydrogen can be obtained. structure.

Such a concept is simple to say, but it is very difficult to implement in practice, because the water pressure is very high, which leads to an astonishingly high density of water, but ordinary liquid water is like a colloid, and the distance between water molecules is very small .

In order to solve this problem, the collectors use antimatter to form strong gamma rays to irradiate the water body, destroy the molecular structure, create a large number of charged ions, and then use a strong electric field to repel them, so that the water pressure at the bottom of the water can be reduced to a certain extent.

When the water pressure is reduced, the processed flat liquid metal hydrogen is transferred into the bottom of the water together with the metal skeleton container. After it is placed, the strong electric field will disappear, and the water pressure will return to its original state. At that time, the remaining extranuclear electrons will be squeezed out under strong pressure to form a crystal structure composed of protons, that is, hydrogen nuclei.

In the process of processing, in order to prevent it from curling, the metal skeleton container encapsulating liquid metal hydrogen will be adsorbed by a strong electric field and firmly attached to the bottom of the water, while the other side will be seized by the repulsion of a strong electric field to ensure the metal skeleton remains intact. The flat structure doesn't make it frizzy.

Therefore, the liquid metal hydrogen can only be forced to maintain a flat shape and be further compressed. Of course, the packaged metal bone container will also be compressed together.

Similar to the re-encapsulation of the liquid metal hydrogen underwater, the metal skeleton is replaced by another material container, and the proton lattice body is replaced and re-encapsulated to stabilize the internal pressure.

The strong electric field that can offset part of the water pressure is activated again, and then the proton lattice body is taken out after the pressure is relieved, and is transported back to the surface by the rhizome.
