One step closer to reality every day

Chapter 101 The Compass
Feng Yi was preoccupied with how to activate the "compass", and did not pay attention to gossip on the Internet, nor did he watch social and entertainment news.

Those things don't matter to him now.

Just keep heading west.

A bicycle crossed mountains and ridges, crossed rivers and swamps, and experienced landslides, landslides, and mudslides.

Feng Yi no longer believed in the phrase "good luck" that the housekeeper said.

Instinct and compass still didn't move. After riding for so long, it seemed that there was nothing to gain.

Feng Yi himself doubted whether the trip was worth it.

Continue west.

Ahead is a large scenic spot, and there are many food sellers, Feng Yi will spend the night here tonight.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, some tourists placed mani piles by the lake.

After watching it for a while, Feng Yi left, and found a nearby lakeside tent hotel run by a local.

The conditions are simple, but because it is by the lake, it is very popular, and several tents are full.

There is an empty bed in one of the tents, so you can squeeze in.

Feng Yi doesn't mind sharing a tent with others, since they all sleep in their own beds anyway.Get some sleep and leave tomorrow.

In the tent, two young people were making noodles, and there was another person lying on the bed opposite Feng Yi's bed.

The man on the bed heard the movement and glanced at Feng Yi, then lay back listlessly, and muttered: "How can there be such a big difference between people! Some people drink and eat meat, and some people breathe oxygen! "

His two companions who were making noodles smiled, and one of them said: "You are better than those who inhale oxygen. Seeing that you still have the energy to say this, I think you will get used to it in two days. serious."

Feng Yi was stunned while listening.High anti?
What high anti?
Oh yes, altitude sickness!

I have been riding with my head down, climbing over mountains when I should climb them, and detours when I should detour, forgetting that there is such a thing as high resistance.

Anyway, Feng Yi didn't feel it.

He took off his helmet and took off all his equipment.

The person lying on the opposite bed looked sideways at Feng Yi, his eyes swept across Feng Yi's face, and he sighed quietly, "How can there be such a big difference between people!"

The young man who was making noodles smiled and cursed at his companion, then looked at Feng Yi, "Do you need hot water? We just boiled it."

"Thank you." Feng Yi didn't refuse, and shared the food he bought with the locals outside.

The person eating instant noodles glanced at the equipment on Feng Yi, "The one on the bike? Are you alone?"

"Well, come out to relax." Feng Yi said.

"Amazing! All of us came here by car."

Once we chatted, the atmosphere became more harmonious.

The person who spoke was Huo Jin. He was from a university in the capital city. He was a graduate student. He was now in his second year of graduate school. This time, he brought his juniors and sisters here with a task. There were undergraduates and graduate students in the team.The other people living in this tent are all his juniors, and the juniors live next door.

When he learned that Feng Yi was coming from Rongcheng, Huo Jin was going to end the conversation, but became interested again.

"Have you seen a group of little swans flying over from your city?"

"I have seen."

"How are they doing now, are they really adapting as reported in the news?"

"I haven't paid attention to them in the past few days. But they had a good time there before I left, and they were very energetic."

"It's really like this! Unexpected, completely unexpected! They actually deviated from the original route and ran to your city! And I read the news that the first few little swans who passed by have not flown away yet! I might stay in Rongcheng for the winter!" Huo Jin turned on his phone again and started searching for related news.

"Are you also interested in this?" Feng Yi asked.

Huo Jin explained: "We were originally researching this, but not cygnets. Now we are working with the demoiselle crane project.

"My mentor took my brothers and they went to the breeding ground of the Demoiselle Cranes in August and started to follow closely. Now the Demoiselle Cranes are already on the way of migration, flying this way."

Seeing that Feng Yi listened carefully, Huo Jin continued: "The wintering grounds of the Demoiselle Cranes are in the south of the plateau. Every year, they migrate southward to breed and travel thousands of kilometers across the Himalayas to reach their wintering grounds."

Feng Yi asked: "Their breeding grounds and wintering grounds are not in the same place, are they far apart?"

"Yes. The same goes for the cygnets. The breeding grounds of the cygnets are in the Arctic tundra area, and they migrate south for the winter every year."

"The eggs of these migratory birds are also hatched in the breeding grounds?"

"definitely!"

Feng Yi thought about the problems he encountered now, and asked again: "I heard that migratory birds have their own set of compass to identify the direction?"

Huo Jin hesitated for a while and nodded, "You can also say that. However, migratory birds are not the only ones that have compass, as well as migratory fish, sea turtles, moths, etc. Many, many animals and insects have their own set of compass. , some are sun compasses, some are moon compasses, and some are star compasses, all of which are different.

"They have cells related to environmental cognition and path planning. These cells work together in the body to play a navigation effect. Of course, they can also be regarded as a 'compass'.

"But after all, human beings are not animals, and they certainly don't know as clearly as they do. Many mysteries are just being explored."

Listening to Huo Jin's words, Feng Yi sat there in a daze.He seems to have caught the key word.

Huo Jin didn't pay attention to Feng Yi's abnormality, and checked the time after eating the instant noodles.

"I'm going! Why did I get to this point so quickly!"

Huo Jin hurriedly took out the camera from his bag, walked out of the tent, and asked Feng Yi when he passed by, "Have you brought your camera? Do you want to go out and take some photos? The starry sky here is so beautiful! I have seen a place suitable for taking pictures!"

"go with!"

Feng Yi got up and followed Huo Jin from outside to an open place with little shelter.

The cold evening wind made Huo Jin shiver, but his eyes were fixed on the night sky.

“The starry sky on the plateau is really spectacular!”

After taking a few photos, Huo Jin felt dissatisfied.

"No, you still have to come back after 11 o'clock, or wait until the early morning."

Huo Jin was shaken by the wind again, "We still have to wear a down jacket when the time comes, hey Feng Yi, you won't go back to the tent?"

"No, I'll stay outside for a while." Feng Yi replied.

"are not you cold?"

"not cold."

"Okay, take your time and let me know if you need help. I'll go in first. It's too cold!"

After Huo Jin entered the tent, Feng Yi moved to another place, with better all-round vision.

Standing by the lake at an altitude of more than 4000 meters.

The sky is full of stars, not just spectacular and beautiful.

Under the clear starry sky, the invisible barrier that seemed to block the front finally dissipated.

Those blurred lines gradually became clear.

The lazy senses are excited at this moment.

The swirling sky is reflected in the irises.

The pupils form a thin line, recording the information of all constellations, and recording the constellations of those star combinations.

He seemed to hear some voices, or some signals.

It's not that those voices didn't exist in the past, it's just that the voices they usually make are too small to be heard.

calm down.

Zoom them in.

Listen carefully.

Waiting for the other side of the world to slowly appear.

Behold, the laws of the planet are at hand!
Rain or shine, day or night, it always exists!
The planet has its own pulse rhythm.

Establishes laws for everything that lives on it.

Feng Yi looked up at the starry sky, stretched out his hand, and slowly slid across the sky.

Feeling the rhythm of the laws of the magnetic field, it seems that they also understand the direction information fed back by them.

"Compass" works!

Are those migratory birds flying over the Himalayas, and those sea turtles rushing to their birthplace in the ocean currents, relying on the laws of the planet to reproduce?
Feng Yi stood by the lake for a long time.

Under the stars, the magnetic field, water vapor, and all the information that drifts and drifts with the air currents.

All the signals captured by the senses form a map in the mind.

The instinct that I haven't seen for a long time, conveys a clear message to Feng Yi at this time——

You're going in the wrong direction!
