First, I would like to ask you a question: Do you believe that there really is a flying dragon in the world? Although modern science has not yet found conclusive evidence that dragons ever existed, many people have expectations and curiosity about such magical creatures as dragons. Let's assume that if dragons do exist, how do they travel in the sky?
We know that most birds fly by the lift generated by the vibration of their wings, while common airplanes rely on engines to generate thrust and wings to generate lift in order to take to the skies. However, the image of the divine dragon handed down by our Chinese nation has no wings, it looks covered with scales, and its body is so majestic and huge, so how does it move freely through the air? Let us disassemble and analyze them one by one!
The first possibility is that the dragon uses the principle of levitation to fly. Have you ever wondered why balloons can fly in the air? That's because when filled with hydrogen, the overall density of balloons is lighter than that of air, and buoyancy causes them to rise. If there is a huge cavity inside the dragon's body, and there is enough hydrogen or other light gas stored in it, wouldn't that reduce the overall density of the dragon and allow it to float in the air with buoyancy? Don't underestimate this method, hot air balloons and spaceships fly using the same floating principle nowadays.
Some people may question: Even if the dragon is floating, how can it control its direction and speed? Well, the dragon can use the principle of jets! Imagine that if the dragon can contract and expand its body at will, it can control the direction and force of the gas ejected, so that it can swim in the air at will? Guess how to replenish the gas in the dragon's body? Maybe hydrogen is obtained through electrolysis of water, maybe the legendary thunderstorm is the process of the dragon obtaining hydrogen!
The second possibility is that the dragon glides and flies on the principle of aerodynamics. Have you ever seen a snake gliding over a tree? This kind of creature called the golden flower snake may seem bulky, but when gliding, it will flatten its body on its side and have a streamlined body, and the ventral surface of the body has a special rib structure, which creates the lift required for gliding. Dragons are mythical beasts that are much larger than snakes, and if their bodies are designed to be aerodynamic, gliding and flying may become possible.
What to do if dragons are too big, you ask? Hehe, that's going to take some physics tricks. For example, dragons can use thermal circulation updrafts to fly in the wind, or indulge in free-gliding with the help of mountain terrain, and so on. Perhaps the dragon is the miracle of the "square-cube law"? Have you ever thought that if the dragon is covered with a unique nanomaterial that can automatically regulate the airflow in the body and expand the windward area? With such advanced technology today, maybe there will be such a possibility in the future!
The third possibility is anti-gravity flight. Think about it, if there really is a "negative substance" with a negative mass, as some theories say, then wouldn't this "negative matter" be able to neutralize the gravitational effect of ordinary matter? If the dragon's body really has such a bizarre substance, wouldn't it be possible to ignore gravity and travel freely between heaven and earth?
But don't get too excited, and don't forget that "negative matter" is just a conjecture of physicists at the moment, and it is not so easy to prove its existence. But have you ever wondered what if dragons are highly intelligent creatures who have mastered a means of flight that we don't understand? There are so many mysterious things in this world! For example, how did our consciousness come about? I like to use this mysterious place to challenge the limits of science!
Okay, well, I have talked so much about the principle of dragon flight, do you have anything to say? Do you now have some new imagination and understanding of dragon flight? Of course, after all, the dragon is only a legendary creature of the Chinese nation, and we will never see its true face in reality. However, in this vast cosmic starry sky, there must still be many mysteries that we do not know and unsolved. Let's explore with dreams and curiosity!
In short, the image of the dragon has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it represents the ideal character of the Chinese nation in pursuit of freedom, strength and wisdom. If dragons exist, I think they must have extraordinary flying abilities and control unique physics mysteries. So, let's continue to pursue the unknown answers together, and use our imagination to ignite the passion for infinite exploration! I believe that one day, human beings will be able to discover more incredible mysteries in the universe!
