Chapter 92 Deep Sea Mother Nest
This air flow is full of oxygen, which is suffocated by the plants in the cave. Fortunately, the power is not very strong, otherwise the fragile stinging jellyfish will definitely be blown to pieces.

The rest of the navy entered the cave one after another, and after nine turns and eighteen turns, they came to the Sea Spider Tunnel.

Go ahead as usual, and pass as much as you can.

This time it was not smooth, only a few insect sharks passed, and the others were blocked in the tunnel.

This is Zhang Fan's own fault. He didn't estimate the distance between the stinging jellyfish and the insect shark.

After one insect shark fell, the next insect shark should have moved forward quickly, but after adding jellyfish, the passage became even narrower.

In this way, the troops behind were blocked.

Zhang Fan felt that it didn't matter if there were any next ones, anyway, these few insect sharks were enough.

Entered the fork road on the left again, swam for a while, and entered the crystal cave.

The insect sharks in the cave have already prepared, they cleaned up some small animals around them, and vacated a large area.

The insect shark came to the open space, patrolled around for a week, and after reconfirming that there was no threat, opened its mouth wide.

The slender purple seeds slowly fell into the crystal cave.

The creep seeds that fell on the ground didn't start to germinate right away, and they had to gather a sufficient number of needle-shaped bacteria in their bodies.

The genes of these needle-shaped bacteria were also modified by Adam, and they can adapt to life in the ocean, but because of the salt particles in the seawater, the activity may be reduced to a certain extent, and the development of creep may not be like that on land. fast.

After the active bacteria were completely assembled in the seeds, the creeps began to germinate, and the needle-like bacteria spread like crazy in all directions.

The purple creep spreads towards the surroundings at a speed visible to the naked eye, and exudes a charming fragrance.

This fragrance permeated the sea water, which immediately stimulated the appetites of the creatures.

Those lifeless crystal shrimps came in groups around the creep, trying to get a share of the action.

Zhang Fan would not let them go easily this time, the bug sharks opened their mouths and swallowed them.

Those creatures who were eager to try were trembling with fright when they saw such a terrifying insect shark, and none of them dared to touch the majesty of the insect shark.

After the creeps are automatically laid to a certain extent, they stop laying and they start to develop rhizomes.

Those thick and powerful rhizomes plunged into the hard ground at once, kicking up a large cloud of dust.

The rhizomes continue to extend downward, and finally stop developing near the magma.

Afterwards, a filamentous root system like a magma flower began to grow on the rhizome of the creep.

After completing these tasks, it is time to establish the brood.

The key point of the mother nest in the ocean is to have airtightness. No matter how strengthened it is, there will be an osmotic reaction when the larvae are hatched.

This will cause incomplete hatching of the larvae, so Zhang Fan decided to add a drainage chamber to the channel of the brood.

Perhaps it was due to the strong seawater pressure that the construction of the mother nest was not very smooth. The construction of the site was relatively fast, but many collapses occurred during the ascent.

In this regard, Zhang Fan did some thinking and felt that the keel construction in the brood should be increased.

The keel is generally the most critical part of the so-called ship that supports the entire ship, just like the human spine. If there is no keel, the ship will be broken up by the waves in minutes while sailing at sea.

How should the keel of the brood be built?It is important not to interfere with the normal hatching of the larvae.

After thinking about it, Zhang Fan thought of a tent, which was supported by an iron pillar in the middle, and there were iron pillars on the other four sides, and there were iron nails on the outside to support it.

The hive is shaped a lot like those tents, so one part is building the inner keel.

The needle-shaped bacteria began to coil at the center of the creep, and the coil became tighter and higher, absorbing a large amount of calcium in the ocean and under the seabed.

A blue and white keel was built over the course of several days.

The seawater here has a high salt content, and there are tiny blue factors, so the whole keel looks a little blue.

After the keel was built, Zhang Fan carried out the second time, but even after the keel was built, it still collapsed.

It seems that the keel alone is not enough, some sub-brackets must be added.

Then add those auxiliary brackets at the hole.

It took a long time for the mother nest to finally complete the construction, and overall it was about the same size as the one on the ground.

The interior is supported by a keel and twelve auxiliary supports, eliminating the gap between the outer shell and the inner membrane.

This anti-collision gap has no effect in the ocean. The gap can be flattened by water pressure alone. If it is forcibly created, it will waste a lot of resources for no reason.

There is no seawater inside the nest, and all the seawater is expelled out of the body through air pressure. This is very convenient. Most fish will do this trick, just like a swim bladder.

The channel is also composed of two layers of chambers, which are filled with seawater when it is not necessary, and it will only discharge the seawater when the builders return to the nest.

Well, the next thing is the construction worker. According to Gaia, it is to create a creature that looks like a lobster, and the name is also called a worker shrimp casually.

The worker shrimp is about the same size as the worker bee, and it also feeds on creep, with the lungs removed and gills added.

The body is more slender, not as bloated as the worker bee, just compare the shape of the lobster.

This kind of appearance can swim quickly in the sea, much faster than the speed of crabs.

After the design of the worker shrimp is completed, it is put into production. They hatch inside the nest, and then slowly climb out of the nest and come to the sea world.

In the crystal cave, there is still a lot of space waiting for the workers to develop.

The only thing worth paying attention to is not to destroy the surrounding crystals and magma flowers. Once these are destroyed, the magma will form an influx and completely fill the entire cave.

In that case, great resources will be wasted in vain. Zhang Fan will not do that kind of thing, so slow down the development.

The matter in the crystal cave is over, and the time goes back to the time when the two teams of insect sharks separated.

The pair of insect sharks swimming towards the middle were once again in a state of hypoxia, exactly the same as the fork on the right.

After transforming its anaerobic ability, it continued to swim inward, during which time it devoured some small creatures around to replenish its strength.

Anaerobic is actually a very uncomfortable process, just like the kind of muscle soreness after strenuous exercise.
