Chapter 302 Our Radar
The flying bird is not a product of natural evolution, but one of the ultimate representatives of alchemical technology - a synthetic beast, which means that it is an artificial creature.
As an artificial creature, the bird has a very special body structure. Its gas propulsion system is already a strange existence in the biological world, but this is not all its uniqueness.
Because of the gas jet flight method, the flying speed of the bird is very fast, and at this speed, vision is obviously unable to meet the requirements, because vision is greatly affected by environmental factors such as obstacles, and the field of vision in areas with complex terrain If it is not open enough, there is no way to avoid obstacles at the speed of a flying bird.
In order to cope with the information collection requirements of its high-speed flight ability, the bird's observation organ is not the eyes located on the head, but its entire tail.
The body structure of a flying bird is actually very unusual. The posture it usually uses when flying is actually not the forward flying we are used to, but flying upside down. The sharp three-sided thorn in the direction of the bird's flight is actually an extension of his spine, which is the tailbone. As for the short, flat thing at the back of the bird when it flies, that is actually his head, where his brain is located. However, because the flying bird has no neck, this part is actually not too obvious. It just protrudes slightly from the body. As for the long streamer-like thing at the back, it should actually be the flying bird's crown, or hair. But this thing is different from hair. It has muscle tissue inside and can move according to the bird's consciousness. When the bird flies, this thing basically acts as a vertical tail and can assist in steering.
Because the position of the head is at the back of the body during flight, the bird's vision is actually very average, and even if the vision is good, it obviously doesn't mean much to a bird that can only fly forward. After all, this position basically depends on the vision. Less than what’s in front. Therefore, the real dominant sense of the flying bird is actually the three-sided thorn located directly in front of the direction of flight. This thing looks like a weapon, but it's actually an antenna.
We all know that there are a large number of nerve bundles in the vertebrae of vertebrates, which is a nerve center area as important as the brain. There is a relatively large nerve center in the tail vertebrae of birds, which is the end of the spinal nerve. This hub is actually an accessory brain. Unlike the brain, this accessory brain does not have the ability to think abstractly, nor can it control any organ in the body. This accessory brain actually functions like an electromagnetic transmitter and a matching translator.
This accessory brain will use a special group of cells in the body to generate high-voltage current according to the instructions of the brain, and then use the highly metalized tail vertebrae as an antenna to emit the strong current in the form of electromagnetic pulses. At the same time, this tail vertebra is also responsible for receiving the echo signal after transmitting the signal. When the tail vertebra receives the echo, it will transmit the signal to the accessory brain. The accessory brain will screen and analyze the echo signal. First, it will remove irrelevant signals and signals from other similar types, and then separate its own signals. And decoding it, based on this set of echo signals, the accessory brain can create a three-dimensional scan of the surrounding environment and pass it to the brain.
To put it simply, the accessory brain, the group of power-generating cells, and the tail vertebrae combine to form a radar. Yes, it's radar, a bioradar.
Relying on this set of bioradar, birds can completely ignore the influence of light and fly at will in the night or day. At the same time, because the diffraction ability of electromagnetic waves far exceeds that of light waves, and the penetrating power of electromagnetic waves is also better than that of broadcasts, bioradar actually has certain steering and penetrating capabilities. This is why Asuka can fly at high speed in a narrow underground passage with many curves without hitting the wall, because he can see the next curve and the route after that before approaching the curve, so he can plan in advance. Flight trajectory, and if you look at the road with your eyes, you don't know what the route behind you is until you turn the corner. But by the time you turn around, it's already too late to look at the road again. Therefore, this set of bioradar is more useful than eyes in most cases, especially in high-speed flight mode.
When I share all the surrounding environment information scanned by the bird using bioradar into my head, all my magic pets see the surrounding environment simultaneously.
This is a very special kind of information picture, because unlike the eyes, radar signals cannot display colors, so what appears in our minds is actually a set of pictures displayed entirely in grayscale, just like a sketch. Of course, the precision is completely different. At the same time, besides being colorless, this picture is not continuous. In fact, the picture we see is constantly flashing, and it is constantly updating around the flying bird. However, the refresh speed is very fast, basically it can be refreshed hundreds of times every second, so even though we know that it is flashing, we still know that it is flashing. In fact, there is nothing unusual about it. And in this picture, we quickly discovered our target. (To be continued ~^~)
