Can you believe it? There are also some huge creatures living in the sky as we know it, they don't need wings to fly, they live on water molecules in the atmosphere, thunder and lightning, and solar radiation, and they don't even land once in their lives, and if they do, it will be the end of their lives.
Let's take a look at what "atmospheric creatures" are
At the scientific level, the atmosphere and the ocean have one thing in common, that is, they both belong to the same fluid state but the density is different, just as there are many gaseous planets in our universe, and the atmosphere is also an observable environment, so since there are countless lives in the ocean, why can't there be life in the atmosphere?
If it is positioned as a living organism, then these creatures must be different from the life forms we know with common sense, we all know that the life we know is carbon-based organisms, its own density is large, if you want to fly, you have to grow wings like a bird, but the bird eventually has to land to rest, if these atmospheric creatures want to survive in the atmosphere for a long time without landing, you must meet one point, that is, the body density must be lower than the air.
Some people will say, how can there be solids that are less dense than air? Don't say it, there really is, after the step-by-step development of our science, we can now produce a solid that is lower than the density of air, that is, "aerogel", because the density is extremely low, the lightest silicon aerogel is only 0At 16 milligrams per cubic centimeter, the density is already lower than that of air, and the fact that we can all make this product proves that there are entities in nature that are less dense than air.
Let's get down to business
Since there is already a low-density body, it is necessary to have food as a living being, and what is in the atmosphere to provide these creatures with the energy they need for life? Therefore, scientists have theorized that the food of these creatures is likely to be water molecules, gases, lightning and even radiation from the sun in the atmosphere and clouds.
Obviously living in the atmosphere, why doesn't anyone see it?
In fact, there were atmospheric creatures that were observed a long time ago, not even one or two people, in the United States in 1891, two American soldiers saw a giant creature floating in the air for more than a thousand meters, some people will say that this must be a story made up by two people, but how can such a large creature be seen by only two people in the sky? Apparently not, according to the investigation in the United States at that time, there were as many as 100 witnesses at that time, but later the official interpretation of it as a "mirage" aroused the suspicion of many eyewitnesses.
Let's push back the time to a time close to us, and in 1971, someone finally used a camera to photograph the fast-moving "atmospheric creature" in the air, which is like a jellyfish in water, but more like a strange cloud. But we don't know what it is.
Subsequently, according to the development of technology and information, the sightings of atmospheric creatures like this gradually increased, which can't help but make us think about whether the giant creatures in the sky such as Kunpeng mentioned in our "Classic of Mountains and Seas" are real, and whether the dragons we are talking about also live in our sky.
