Chapter 222 Magnetic Field
On the other side of the sea.
Located in the mountains inland of Mindan Island in the Luzon Islands.
As the sun rose, the first ray of morning sunlight shone on the roof of a low-key villa. After the special biological sensor hidden in the roof received the light signal, Li Qingye woke up from the hibernation capsule again.
Sanjibada Layal quickly handed over the towel: "Sir, breakfast is ready."
"Thanks a lot."
"It's my pleasure." Sanjibada Layal took the towel gently and handed over another clean towel.
Li Qingye wiped the sticky nutrient solution and low-temperature life-sustaining agent off his body.
During the meal, Philip reported to him on the recent situation of each branch and some major international events.
"Samsung wants to invest in New Luzon Shipbuilding?" Li Qingye picked up the napkin and wiped his mouth. "That's a nice thought. A small chaebol that can't even break free from the leash of Wall Street is daydreaming all day long."
He thought for a moment and said, "Don't reject them directly. Just keep delaying the matter ambiguously. After a while, they will naturally give up."
"Yes, boss!" Philip took note of it.
After having breakfast, Li Qingye did morning exercises in the gym for half an hour to maintain his body's exercise volume.
Around 8:20.
He took an off-road vehicle and came to Institute 422 in a low-key manner. This was an institute built deep in the mountains and forests, and on the surface it was a large plantation for growing pepper.
The institute is wrapped in a green umbrella, and part of the building is still inside the mountain.
Li Qingye came to the core area of the research institute.
The research topics here are "complex artificial pheromones", "pheromone sensors", "special biological detection technology" and so on.
Some time ago, a research team he led successfully developed a new technology, which is currently being tested experimentally here.
He picked up a pair of special glasses, put them on, and pressed the sensor switch on the temples.
In an instant, his vision changed drastically.
The surrounding environment is no longer a cold laboratory, but a whole new world formed by waves. These waves carry colorful and special rules.
The name of this new world is "magnetic field".
That’s right, special glasses can see magnetic fields.
These are special glasses developed based on the special visual cells of birds and insects.
According to the research of Li Qingye and a group of scientific research assistants, they found that in the visual cells of birds and some insects, there are special proteins - cryptochrome proteins - that can interact with the environmental magnetic field lines.
Cryptochrome protein was the first magnetic sensor molecule discovered.
Li Qingye irradiates cryptochrome protein with blue light to convert it into magnetically sensitive molecules, and then applies a magnetic field of a certain intensity to trigger two competing chemical reactions, the ratio of which will be affected by the intensity of the magnetic field.
One of these reactions results in a different shape of the protein, which then interacts with other proteins and triggers related signaling.
Afterwards, Li Qingye used supercomputers to screen and simulate this type of protein, screened the gene sequences of relevant natural organisms in the current database, and successively discovered 17 natural protein structures, and simulated 536 artificial protein structures. These protein structures all have the function of magnetic induction.
These special proteins are affected by the magnetic field lines of the environment, and then produce a variety of strange stress colors on the retina.
In other words, the eyes of birds and some insects can actually see the fluctuations in the magnetic field, and these changes are converted into very intuitive color changes.
Li Qingye calls this type of cell "magnetic visual cell". Through this type of magnetic visual cell, magnetic vision can be achieved and the changes in the magnetic field in the environment can be seen.
This is also one of the reasons why birds and insects are not easily lost, especially migratory birds that travel thousands of kilometers year after year. Their magnetic visual cells are very developed and can even observe magnetic field information over a wide range.
These migratory birds remember their ancestors' migration routes year after year through the magnetic field information passed down in their genes, and repeat their ancestors' flight paths.
So what is the use of this magnetic vision?
The answer is magnetic field navigation.
Currently, Sapiens does not have the ability to build its own GPS positioning system. The pheromone and sonar monitoring network composed of submarine optical has loopholes in its monitoring of the sky.
However, in terms of traditional radar technology, Sapiens is clearly not as good as the great powers.
Although a lot of confidential information on radar technology was stolen through the Field Affairs Department.
The problem is that today's high-precision radar technology requires a large number of special precision electronic components, which the Homo Sapiens company cannot produce on its own in a short period of time, and there are too many uncertainties in the import channels.
Even if the electronic component manufacturers in Silicon Valley dare to supply, Zhiren Company would not dare to use their electronic components casually. If it uses their electronic components, leaks would be difficult to avoid.
Therefore, Sapiens now needs a radar alternative to meet the needs of airspace monitoring in surrounding areas.
The emergence of magnetic vision technology fills the gap in Sapiens' aerial surveillance capabilities.
Several research assistants synchronized the data captured by the magnetic visual cell lens into the supercomputer's topographic map database.
Suddenly, all kinds of colorful fluctuations appeared on the three-dimensional topographic map.
At present, they have collected the magnetic field spectra and color change patterns of most common objects.
For example, if a bonfire appears in a tropical rainforest, the surrounding magnetic field will undergo slight changes due to the rising temperature and infrared radiation.
This change is very obvious from the perspective of magnetic visual cells.
The magnetic field fluctuations generated by human-made mechanical equipment, chemical products, explosions, etc. are even more obvious.
This is also why many migratory birds sometimes get lost during migration.
Because human activities have caused changes in the magnetic field, once this change affects the migration routes of migratory birds, it will cause the migratory birds to be unable to accurately identify the magnetic field information along the way, causing them to get lost.
Li Qingye plans to conduct a comprehensive magnetic field information entry for each control area and the entire Southeast Asia region.
If conditions permit, we can even consider recording the magnetic field information of the entire earth.
Then a complete magnetic field monitoring system will be established, and the magnetic field can be used for navigation.
As long as the magnetic field database is completed, and with the help of magnetic visual cell sensors and biological supercomputers, even without a satellite navigation system such as GPS, Sapiens can accurately deliver the aircraft to any location in the world.
Moreover, the magnetic field navigation system based on biotechnology will not be suppressed by electromagnetic interference.
On the contrary, if the other party attempts to suppress the Homo Sapiens Company through electromagnetic interference, its location will be locked by the magnetic field monitoring system.
Another advantage of magnetic field monitoring is that the speed of magnetic field fluctuations is basically equivalent to the speed of light.
This means that magnetic field changes within the field of vision can be detected by magnetic visual cells at a speed equivalent to the speed of light.
Radar needs to actively generate electromagnetic waves and then analyze them based on the reflected wavebands, so the detection speed of radar is only half the speed of light.
Of course, whether it is the speed of light or half the speed of light, it actually doesn’t mean much.
But the real reason why Li Qingye attaches importance to this technology is that the magnetic field does not have the property of being absorbed by matter, which means that there is currently no magnetic field stealth technology.
The basic physical rules of the universe determine that all things have magnetic fields.
Electromagnetic waves can be made invisible through absorbing materials and designs that reduce reflections, but magnetic fields cannot be shielded or absorbed.
Even if the aircraft does not use metal materials, the engine heat, friction heat, and material itself generated during flight will cause changes in the magnetic field.
Therefore, within the monitoring range of magnetic vision, there is no such thing as stealth aircraft.
However, the current magnetic visual cells, or magnetic field monitoring technology, still have some shortcomings.
