One Thousand Three Hundred and Twenty-Four The Secret Is on the Elytra

1324 The secret lies in the elytra

Testing Center.

Ye Han was the first to finish all the examinations, and happily approached Professor Qin: "Grandpa, what have you been busy with these days? I've been back for two days, and I won't be able to see you if I don't come here!"

Professor Qin's face showed an unconcealable tiredness, and he looked sideways at Ye Han: "Have you seen your wife?"

Ye Han was confused for a while, but he still answered honestly: "I saw it."

"Did the child see it?"

"Saw it too."

"It's okay if my wife and children see me. There's no need to worry about this bad old man like me."

Ye Han wanted to say everything he wanted to say but this sentence stuck in his stomach. It took him a while to recover, and he asked in a dumbfounded voice: "Grandpa, what did you say? Every old man in the family is like a treasure. Aren't you our family's Dinghai Shenzhen?"

Professor Qin chuckled: "You kid, just pick out nice things to say!"

"No way, this is all true!" Ye Han immediately took advantage of the victory. He is an old man, his ears are soft, and he likes to be coaxed by his juniors.

"To be honest, you know how to fool me with nice things. Do you really think I'm an old fool?" Professor Qin gave Ye Han a hard look.

Ye Han felt aggrieved: "Grandpa, how can you miss me so much?"

"How did I miss you? How did I miss you?" Professor Qin was obviously angry, "If it weren't for you, how could I have stayed home in the middle of the night?"

"Ah?" Ye Han felt even more aggrieved, "Why is this still related to me?"

"Why can't it be related? Insect machine, snake lizard, what do you think I am doing in the laboratory?" Professor Qin glared at Ye Han again.

Ye Han blinked and suddenly realized what Professor Qin said, and quickly smiled: "Grandpa, grandpa, have you found anything through your research? Let me tell you..."

"Go, go, don't talk nonsense to me!" Professor Qin waved his hand as if to shoo away flies, but then said immediately, "But these two things are indeed somewhat eye-catching."

Ye Han was so shocked that he almost jumped up: "So fast?"

Leishan has only been back for two days.

It took even less time for the laboratory to get the bug machine and the basilisk, but the results have already been produced. Is this speed like a rocket?

"Quickly? Where have you come from? Insect machines and snake lizards are essentially two special kinds of bugs. Do you think we have studied bugs in vain these years?"

When Professor Qin said this, Ye Han suddenly understood.

Aliens are best at tinkering with bugs, and bug machines and basilisks are of course some kind of variant of giant bugs.

The laboratory started studying giant worms more than ten years ago. Is the accumulation of more than ten years of research a joke? It’s definitely nonsense to say that we can conduct thorough research in such a short time, but it’s okay to produce preliminary results.

Thinking of this, Ye Han quickly asked: "Grandpa, please tell me, what have you researched?"

"Want to know?" Professor Qin stared at Ye Han with a half-smile.

Ye Han felt something wrong with him: "Of course I do...Grandpa, why do you look at me like that? Can you change your look?"

Professor Qin smacked his lips and said, "I don't know much."

"Just say whatever you know!" Ye Han was not greedy at all.

Just kidding, with a great figure like Professor Qin squatting in the laboratory, what news can't he ask for?

Professor Qin thought for a while and said: "Let's talk about the insect machine first. This thing's eyes are very powerful. Some of the various photoreceptor cells on the retina have been touched by us, and some have never been seen before. We speculate that in addition to visible light, its eyes can also Seeing infrared, ultraviolet, and various invisible spectrums... Didn't your report say that smoke screens can't stop these things? The key is that their eyes are too abnormal."

Ye Han could hardly close his mouth: "So powerful? I thought they were like bats, with bio-radar on their bodies."

Professor Qin laughed: "Bullshit, bats were aware of sound waves at that time. If this thing really has bio-radar on its body, doesn't it mean that aliens already know how to use radios?"

Ye Han smiled sheepishly, but his smile immediately faded: "Maybe they really understand, or how do aliens contact us?"

Professor Qin continued to glare at Ye Han: "Don't talk nonsense without evidence, it won't do you any good!"

Ye Han quickly agreed: "Yes, I will definitely not talk nonsense... besides the eyes, is there anything else?"

"Yes!" Professor Qin suddenly became serious and his voice lowered a lot, "Do you want to know how the insect machine flies?"

Ye Han looked at Professor Qin in horror: "You know?"

Professor Qin nodded lightly: "I just researched it, just last night."

"Grandpa, please stop telling me the truth!" Ye Han was scratching his head and ears like a monkey, wanting to get the answer right away from Professor Qin's mouth.

As early as when he was repairing the armor of the Leishan, Ye Han had observed the insect aircraft at close range, but he was really not the material for research, and he did not figure out how the insect aircraft relied on to fly until the end.

Professor Qin said: "The secret lies in the elytra!"

"That's what I think too." Ye Han said, "When it flies, the elytra keep vibrating, and when it's not flying, there's no movement. But space is not the atmosphere, so what's the point of vibrating the wings so fast?"

Professor Qin said with a smile: "The function of those two pairs of wings is not just a shock, but its internal structure is very interesting. It is hollow but very strong, and there is compressed gas in the cavity of the elytra."

"What's more?" Ye Han seemed to understand something, "You mean, it flies by ejecting gas from its wings?"

"That's the truth, but the process is not as simple as you think." Professor Qin said, "The vibration frequency of the two pairs of wings is more than two thousand times per second. Each time they vibrate, some gas molecules will be thrown backward at high speed. The higher the frequency of vibration, the faster the throw away, and the stronger the feedback force.”

Ye Han's eyes almost cramped: "Is this okay?"

"Isn't it surprising?" Professor Qin smiled happily, "We also found similar structures on alien battleships, but no one had thought in this direction before, so we never knew what the alien battleships relied on to fly, until Last night, I just figured out the power source of the alien spacecraft on the insect fuselage!"

Speaking of this, Professor Qin sighed with emotion: "What a genius design!"

Ye Han said unhappily: "It's not that exaggerated, right? Can it be compared with our nuclear power engine?"

"Ignorance!" Professor Qin scolded, "Vibration propulsion is environmentally friendly, safe and efficient. In what way is it not better than nuclear power?"

"Yes, yes, I was wrong!" Ye Han quickly admitted his mistake and kept scolding himself in his mind. What's wrong with mentioning nuclear power?

For the military, nuclear power is definitely an indispensable source of power, but for researchers, especially those engaged in biological research, vibration propulsion, a method that allows organisms to travel in space, is what they The most perfect way to advance in my mind.
