Chapter Ninety-Two: A Gift Package?

Su Ji found it while brushing his teeth, and a whisker grew on each side of his nose.

The two whiskers were soft and looked like carp whiskers.

However, it is as thick as a refill, and the length is about the same as a water-based pen.

The point is that they don't hang down, they seem to be completely unaffected by gravity, they float in the air, as if they are floating up and down in the water under the influence of the current.

This is called a dragon's beard.

Su Ji, who had already experienced so many things, was not nervous, he gently pulled the two whiskers, and then pinched it hard, feeling a little painful. This means that there are nerves in the two whiskers, which are not hair, but more like some organ.

Sutinu pursed his mouth and sniffed, and he found that the two whiskers were completely out of his control, and they were completely out of his control as they floated in the air.

If he hadn't known that those two whiskers must have belonged to him, he would have felt a little pain when he pinched them just now, and now he might have wondered if they were two parasites that lived on either side of his nose.

Su Ji couldn't figure out why those two whiskers could float in the air, he didn't have any clue, he couldn't figure it out, he didn't want to, he was more concerned about what special abilities growing those two whiskers now could help him master.

People don't have that kind of beard, so they can only start with animals and refer to the similar effects of beards on animals.

Anyway, the nose also has an uncomfortable feeling.

Su Ji rubbed his nose.

I don't know how to describe that feeling, it's like a cold and runny nose, blowing out all the snot in one go, leaving a red nose.

Could it be that his nose has changed?

It's not impossible.

Su Ji didn't care about brushing his teeth, not even breakfast, and ran to the study in a hurry.

Turn on your computer and start searching.

Panjin in the Republic of China has a hard dish, the taste is not good, the price is outrageous, why do diners compete to taste.

What the hell is this?

I want to understand the role of carp whiskers, not why it is so expensive to buy fried dragon whiskers - the so-called dragon whiskers are the elegant name for carp whiskers.

Su Ji finally found a popular science article, popular science about the role of carp whiskers.

The role of carp whiskers is to distinguish tastes, because they have taste buds on their whiskers, which is the same as the function of our human tongue. Before a carp eats, they touch their food with their whiskers. When they get the taste of their food, they decide whether to eat it or not. Of course, there are some carp that do not have whiskers.

By the way, Su Ji Baidu Baidu has the effect of shrimp whiskers, which has the effect of aphrodisiac and kidney tonification, blood circulation and stasis.

I have to say that these fish and shrimp are really a little pitiful, because they are not included in the list of protected animals, and a search on the Internet is all about their cooking methods.

Su Ji still found an introduction to the role of shrimp whiskers.

Shrimp whiskers are like the lateral lines of a fish that can be used to sense the flow of water and maintain balance, but they mainly function as a sense of taste and touch, responsible for smell, touch and balance.

Then he searched with interest for the role of the cat's whiskers, which are tightly rooted in the skin, deeper than the coat, and there are many nerves and blood vessels around, so the cat's whiskers are powerful, and have the functions of detecting the environment, protecting the eyes, measuring space, maintaining balance, and so on.

Let's search for something a little more.

Su Ji rubbed his uncomfortable nose, he knew what to search for.

The snake has a pair of nostrils in front of its eyes, which are primarily respiratory portals rather than the main organ of smell.

The snake's sense of smell is more developed, and its main olfactory organ is composed of the vomeronasal apparatus and the tongue that grows in the mouth. The vomeronasal apparatus is not connected to the outside world, and the tongue must be used to achieve olfactory function.

The tongue sticks out of the mouth and adheres to the chemicals in the air, then quickly retracts into the mouth and inserts a vomeronasal apparatus for odor discrimination. As long as there are a small number of chemical molecules in the air that are sent to the mucus of the vomeronasal apparatus, they can be distinguished by the sensory neurons there.

Mammals also have vomeronasal apparatus during the embryonic stage, and most of them degenerate in adults.

Unlike other mammals, the vomeronasal apparatus in humans is highly degenerate. In fetuses and neonates, vomeronasal structures are evident, but as the baby grows, the vomeronasal apparatus gradually degenerates. The vomeronasal apparatus in humans is made up of two very small organs, located deep in the nasal cavity, and some people have vomeronasal openings that can be seen with the naked eye, but most people can only see them with a magnifying glass.

There are also some nocturnal pit vipers with poor eyesight, and mice may not be able to spot them next to them with their eyesight alone. But they have one organ that makes up for their lack of vision, and that is the buccal fossa.

The buccal fossa is a concave fossa organ located between the eyes and nostrils of the head, which can "see" the thermal infrared wavelengths emitted by the animal, and after perceiving these wavelengths, it will form a complete "portrait" of the animal in the snake's brain.

Almost an hour later, Suji ended her search and went back to the bathroom to look in the mirror again.

He gently touched the dragon's whiskers floating in the air, thinking that its function should be to distinguish the smell in the air, and maybe also to sense the flow of water, wind, and so on.

Su Ji stuck out his tongue and saw the white tongue coating.

He thought to himself that he would use this tongue to roll away the chemical molecules in the air and give them to the vomeronasal apparatus.

Or simply connect the nostrils directly to this vomeronasal apparatus. After all, snakes have nostrils that are mainly used for breathing, and humans are different.

Or maybe those two whiskers are working, and the carp whiskers have the effect of distinguishing the taste.

Or maybe we just work together and work together.

Su Ji pinched the bridge of his nose, close to the bridge of his eyes, wondering if there was a cheek socket growing in this place, and then helped him "see" the thermal infrared wavelength emitted by the animal, so that he could master the ability of thermal imaging.

Anyway, he couldn't smell anything special in the air right now, and he couldn't see thermal imaging.

Is it because these two whiskers have not fully grown, so they do not have the function of distinguishing taste?

Or his conjecture was completely wrong, these two whiskers were just an ornament, playing a decorative role.

His nose was sore, nothing more, no metamorphosis, no vomeronasal organs, or cheek sockets or anything.

Or maybe these organs need to be activated, and how to activate them.

It's like in the past, in order to activate the farsightedness function of the eyes, find a high platform to look into the distance, is that so?

My stomach rumbled.

Su Ji felt that he should still eat breakfast first, and then slowly think about how to activate the function of those two whiskers, test whether he has developed vomeronasal organs and buccal fossa, whether the olfactory function has become stronger, and so on.

Because of the relationship between those two whiskers, Su Ji is obviously inconvenient to go out for breakfast now, but fortunately, his refrigerator is full, and the sideboard and cupboard are also full of food, so he doesn't have to worry about eating and drinking.

He steamed a whole bag of steamed buns, waiting for the steamed buns to steam and make a bowl of instant noodles first.

Soon after, Su Ji, who had eaten and drunk enough, was ready to test.

Anyway, there is something to do today.
