Chapter 81 76．scary big face

You stand in front of the head of a huge sperm whale, carefully observing this is only a third of the body, but it is enough to make people horrified. You are amazed by its hugeness and all kinds of inconceivable, unreasonable, and you think over and over again. Now let me ask you: Do you think you know about sperm whales? Let's narrow down the scope of the question, it's just its head, which only accounts for one-third of its total body length. You may nod your head vaguely: "Well, almost." So let me treat you like a biologist and ask you a question. The question is: How much force can this sperm whale's head generate in motion?

Needless to say, I've definitely caught you off guard. Because you only know it's big, but it's impossible to know how big it is, am I right? If I go on to ask you, how can a sperm whale's head generate so much power? I'm afraid you won't be able to answer even more. But let us look at the structure of the sperm whale's head. When you see a sperm whale from the front, if it is swimming normally, then its face is purely a wall perpendicular to the water surface. All its facial organs, eyes, nose, mouth, ears are not on the front of the face, but on the sides, below and on top of the head.

Sperm whales have no bones in their faces, so a face this large is actually like a mountain of cotton. It looks soft and comfortable, but its inside is not cotton, but whale blubber and boneless toughness. It is this toughness that makes it produce inestimable strength. If you've lived among sailors, you may have a better understanding of what this toughness does and how powerful it is. For example, when two powerful sailors are fighting, how can we stop them more effectively and prevent them from colliding with each other and hurting each other when they are waving some weapons and rushing towards each other?

The way sailors are used to is to wrap a full bag of rope or something in rawhide leather, and then try to stuff the bag between the two troublemakers. This thing can instantly make the two guys who are about to collide each stagger backwards and fall. The face of a sperm whale is one such thing. Even the strongest sailor, with the sharpest javelin, cannot pierce it, but is only softly blocked. I think the tough body of the face has another important function, which is to control the ups and downs. As we all know, ordinary fish have a swim bladder, and the fish can adjust its ups and downs freely by its expansion and contraction.

But a whale does not have this thing, but it can float freely. You can see that it sinks underwater for a while, and rises out of the water for a while, and every time it rises and falls, it is guided by its head. Therefore, I always feel that there is a substance in the interior of its head that has not been discovered so far, which makes the head of the whale absorb and discharge air, thereby replacing the function of the swim bladder. This strange invulnerable head is like a train of extremely powerful locomotives, leading its huge body forward, and at an extremely fast speed, one can imagine its power.

The words "irresistible" and "invincible" are not exaggerated here, and even a child who is just sensible can say the result of a direct contact with a big whale. Now I say: Maybe the Sperm Whale can open up the Berdin Canal and connect the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans!You might silently agree.
