Chapter 024: Rotten bird carcass with a wingspan of 60 meters
Lin Shuhang kept wiping the pus and blood on his face with his hands. The pungent stench made him want to vomit several times.
However, what happened next seriously subverted Lin Shuhang's three views!
He saw something very strange and terrifying - the huge sunbird bone broke free from his hands and flew high into the sky like a balloon!
Under the sunlight, the rib thrown away by Lin Yihao trembled slightly...
Immediately afterwards, an incredible scene happened!
Lin Shuhang saw that the huge rib broke away from the gravity of the earth and slowly floated up!
Yes! It floated slowly like a hydrogen balloon.
This picture is very shocking and difficult to understand.
You know, this is a giant rib with a diameter of more than 30 centimeters!
No matter how light this huge rib is, it is impossible for it to escape gravity and float like a balloon.
But in fact, it did break away from the constraints of gravity and floated slowly like a balloon.
The sunbird is a magical creature. Their bones are very special.
In order to fly above the clouds all day long, this big bird spent hundreds of millions of years evolving a magical skeleton that can use photosynthesis to produce hydrogen.
This kind of skeleton contains a large number of honeycomb-shaped hollow bone cavities inside, which can produce a large amount of hydrogen gas when exposed to sunlight, thereby providing a powerful lift for the sunbird's huge body, allowing it to fly above the clouds for its entire life.
The huge bird bone, which contained a large amount of hydrogen gas in its bone cavity, escaped from the constraints of gravity and slowly floated toward the sun in the sky like a balloon.
This kind of picture was extremely shocking and difficult to understand. Lin Shuhang looked at the floating bird bone and was inexplicably shocked.
By the time Lin Shuhang reacted, the entire bone had already floated out of his reach.
Watching the huge bird bone rising high into the sky, floating further and further away, Lin Shuhang stood on the back of the giant bird in a daze for two minutes. He really couldn't believe that there were bones that could fly in this world.
Just looking at the sky in shock, Lin Shuhang didn't react until the huge sun-shading bird bones disappeared above the clouds.
"Holy shit, I can get out of here!"
Lin Shuhang was extremely excited: "I can use these bones to make a spaceship to escape from here!"
What a crazy idea to make a spaceship out of sunbird bones!
However, after some detailed deductions, Lin Shuhang believed that this method was feasible.
Because most of the lift before the sunbird dies is provided by these bones.
A large part of the buoyancy force of this skeleton comes from the hydrogen gas produced by photosynthesis.
In other words, if you want a long-dead sunbird to fly into the sky again, its skeleton must be fully exposed to the sun so that it can synthesize a large amount of hydrogen to provide buoyancy for the entire bird carcass.
.
The backlog of more than a thousand tons of carrion on the bird carcasses is a huge burden. It is necessary to reduce the weight of the bird carcasses and remove the rotten muscle tissue to reduce the weight of the bird bones.
Otherwise, even if the bird corpse can fly, the height will not be too high.
Of course, the difficulty of making a spaceship is not limited to this aspect.
The firmness of the skeleton is also an important factor affecting the flight of the bird carcass.
You must know that after seven days of sun exposure, the muscles and tendon tissue connecting the bones of this sun-shading bird have already become rotten.
The mass of such a huge skeleton is quite terrifying!
After the sunbird's skeleton flies up, it is likely to disintegrate in the air due to various reasons such as gravity and strong winds, fall apart, and fall to the ground like a crashed Boeing plane.
That is a terrible thing and must be avoided!
In order to prevent the skeleton from disintegrating in the air after it rose, Lin Shuhang decided to make some ropes to bind the sunbird's skeleton to prevent it from falling apart in the air after it floated up.
If you want to fix the skeleton of the sunbird, the most rational rope is of course those tough vines.
But the sun-shading bird is not an earthquake tortoise. There is no vegetation growing on the rotting bird carcass.
If you want to get the vines used to bind the bird bones, you must return to Giant Turtle Island!
But for Lin Shuhang at this time, that would be a very difficult thing.
Because there were a large number of giant crocodiles and other creatures lurking in the mud, and his vehicle, the homemade canoe, had already been shattered by the Sunbird's corpse explosion.
Without the help of the canoe, Lin Shuhang could not risk his life to swim back to Giant Turtle Island in search of some vines, so he considered other methods.
The reason why humans are different from animals is that humans have intelligence, while animals do not.
Human beings can easily develop their own potential when faced with difficulties. Although there are no plants growing on the huge bird carcass, there are a lot of giant feathers.
These feathers are large and flexible and can be used to weave ropes.
The weaving method of the rope is very simple. The huge feathers are torn apart by hand, and then weaved across each other to form a soft and tough rope.
Since the wingspan of the entire bird carcass exceeds 60 meters, the amount of work is still very huge, and a lot of feathers are consumed.
Fortunately, Lin Shuhang was very quick, and in less than a day, half of the feathers on the huge bird corpse became his consumables.
In the evening, Lin Shuhang compiled the necessary ropes.
At this time, almost all the feathers on the bird corpse were plucked out by Lin Shuhang.
The whole Sunbird looks like a big hen that has been stripped of its feathers in the market, it is naked and very ugly.
Next, we will face another arduous project - removing more than a thousand tons of carrion from the bird carcasses!
This project made Lin Shuhang miserable.
You must know that after several days of exposure to the sun, the carcass of the sunbird is now highly decomposed, and the smell it produces is simply worse than the rotten feces in the rural manure pits!
However, this degree of decay also speeded up Lin Shuhang's ability to cut the meat.
This kind of bird meat is as rotten as tofu, and large pieces of bird meat can be torn off with almost no effort.
Lin Shuhang was like a manure digger, resisting the overwhelming stench, frowning, and tearing the rotten bird meat from the bird carcasses one by one.
When you tear it apart, you get a big piece of meat, which feels quite refreshing.
But the smell was so unpleasant, like canned herrings, that Lin Shuhang had to stop and take a rest every half hour, otherwise the strong stench would kill him alive.
When Lin Shuhang tore open the rotten flesh on the bird's back, the huge and pale skeleton of the sunbird was immediately exposed to the air.
The bones of this sky creature are thick and beautiful, as delicate as white marble.
Of course, this kind of skeleton is much more precious than white marble. Have you ever seen white marble that can float in the air?
In fact, let alone white marble, even diamonds are less than one-third of the value of this bone. You must know that this is the skeleton of the Sky Overlord!
