"The year-round scorching sun and less than 80 millimeters of precipitation throughout the year make the Sahara Desert a forbidden area for life. If it weren't for the sound of wind, or only the deathly silence could describe the desolation here."

"But miracles always appear in unexpected ways. Even in the face of such a bad situation, there is still life blooming with unyielding attitude and extreme stubbornness."

"If the camel is the representative of the Mammalia class, then the Saharan silver ant is the pride of the Insecta class."

"One of the most lethal factors affecting survival in the Sahara Desert is undoubtedly high temperature. The unobstructed reality makes the temperature in the Sahara easily rise to a level during the day that is enough to make life on the ground disappear."

"After all, 50c is far beyond the scope of 'suitable'."

"However, in the eyes of Saharan silver ants, this is an excellent opportunity to go out. In their survival philosophy, the most dangerous times are often the safest. The concept of 'thinking that others dare not think and doing that others dare not do' has served them well."

Won a glimmer of hope."

"And it's not just 50 degrees. These little guys can even move in the desert with a temperature of 70 degrees. It's a miracle."

Surface temperature and air temperature are two completely different concepts.

Temperatures of fifty degrees are not uncommon in the Sahara, but they never reach seventy degrees.

The only thing that can reach seventy degrees is the surface.

There are heat-resistant bacteria in nature that can withstand temperatures of 100 degrees, but they are microorganisms with simple structures, not animals.

In an environment of 100 degrees, animals will only become a piece of cooked meat.

But for ants living on the ground, the surface temperature is their survival temperature.

"Silver ants are covered with fine hairs arranged in an orderly manner. These fine hairs are not cylindrical like hair, but more like prisms."

"This way each surface can effectively reflect visible and near-infrared light from different incident angles."

"In addition, this fine hair can also radiate mid-infrared light outward to dissipate heat and continuously cool down."

"In addition to reflecting and dissipating heat, they are also very fast. Up to 0.7 meters per second. If converted to a human body, it can reach a super high speed of 450 kilometers per hour."

"Such high speeds can help them fight quickly and reduce the risk of being sunburned to death."

[Weird knowledge has been added]

[Seeing the miracle of nature again]

[I watched Penguins of Madagascar two days ago, and there was a sentence in it that particularly touched me]

【Careless】

[There is a 95% chance that we are doomed.

What about the other 5%?

It is an unknown adventure and endless glory that no other penguin has.

Then I will choose this path.]

【handsome!】

[Fang Shen is five percent of penguins!]

[Although I don’t have much money, following Lao Fang really helps me gain experience, otherwise I might never see any silver ants in my life.]

【I really want to raise a litter】

"The eyes of deep-sea fish can help them hunt in the dark deep sea, bees can sense ultraviolet light, many beetles and butterflies can use changes in the microstructure of their wings to change color, and fireflies can communicate using the bioluminescence they produce...

…”

"There are always some creatures with abilities that are unexpected and surprising, making you have to admire the tenacity and strength of life."

Although there was nothing gained today, Bifang still felt happy to meet two kinds of creatures at close range that he had never interacted with before.

Bi Fang carefully placed the ant in his hand back on the ground and watched it quickly flee in a certain direction.

Following its route, Bifang saw more Saharan silver ants, which were like mercury exposed in the air, gathering together in a certain direction.

"Looks like we have to move to another place."
