This time, with the help of the new crown virus, bats have once again entered people's field of vision, and humans no longer dare to despise this ugly-looking guy.
In terms of medicine, genetic editing, cancer attack, artificial intelligence and other aspects, human beings have to admit their smallness, perhaps, in another 100 years, the level of human science and technology is only the level of bats.
What are bats capable of? Why did it occupy the commanding heights of the life sciences?
1
What are bats?
Bats ( scientific name : Chiroptera ) are a class of mammals under the phylum Chordata , a mammal , with about 1,300 species.
Bat males have distinctly small JJs with not exposed testicles. Females usually have two uteruses and a pair of nipples on the chest. Bats reproduce once a year, giving birth to 1-2 pups at a time.
There are about 5,500 species of mammals in the world, and bats are the only mammals that can fly.
With the exception of some islands in the polar regions and oceans, bats are found all over the world.
The earliest known fossil bat is the 50-million-year-old index fingered god bat, which is much older than the history of humans.
Life expectancy can be up to 40 years, usually 4-5 years.
70% of bats feed on insects and small animals, the rest feed on fruits, nectar and pollen, a few tropical bats feed on carnivorous, and only 3 species of bats feed on blood (all in Latin America).
In the dens during the day, at night, group travel, up to a million at a time.

Bat NB What?
The ability of the bat body is impossible for human beings to achieve in ten thousand years of evolution, and can only be compensated by high-tech genetic revolution and artificial intelligence, even so, in the next 100 years, it is extremely difficult to surpass bats.
How to understand the NB of bats?
We have all seen a lot of science fiction movies, that is, the future warriors, special forces equipped with high-tech equipment and special functions, infrared, flying, detection, radar, wound rapid repair, etc., which in the eyes of bats, are too small, Lao Tzu has long had.
1. Self-repair mechanism of DNA damage.
2. 24-hour immune response.
3, has the gene repair function that human beings dream of to avoid cancer.
4. Continuous high fever capacity, up to 56 °C (from -7.5-48.5 °C), inhibit viral replication.
5. Radar positioning function.
6. Film repair 10 times faster than skin.
7. The bone claw structure can drift 180 degrees in the air.
8. There are sensing cells on the wing hairs that can calculate wind resistance.
9, there is iron oxide in the brain can be used for geomagnetic navigation.
10. Rapid diuresis after blood sucking to prevent flying.
11, the heartbeat from 10-800 / minute to move casually, can be suspended to hibernate.
12. The heat receptor under the nasal lobe is equivalent to an infrared imager, which can detect the blood vessels with the largest blood flow in animals, and the lower mouth is accurate.
13. Bats respond to interferons 24 hours a day, synthesizing antiviral and cancer cells at any time.
14, Lao Tzu can fly, you can drip.
This outfit, radar, infrared, navigation, sensors, self-healing... Simply the NB's futuristic warriors and special forces.
For each feature, you can write an article.
Every feature, TM is high-tech.
So humans invented radar by mimicking the echo positioning system of bats. Stealth aircraft developed by some countries are also, to some extent, copies of bats.
Because of these powerful genetic, immune, and antiviral abilities, all bats have become the hosts of many viruses in the process of evolution, and can coexist in the body without affecting each other.
So humans began to study the genes of bats, learn how to increase immunity, how to treat cancer.
As long as people are infected with rabies virus, 100% of them die, but bats are carried all year round, and there is no hair.

Lao Tzu scares you to death!
Bats have been found to carry more than 80 deadly viruses, possibly far more.
Nipa, Hendra, Ebola, Marlborough, SARS, MERS, rabies, etc., as well as the NCP novel coronavirus, can all be found in bat bodies.
Hendra virus was first detected in Australia in 1994, causing 7 infections and 4 deaths. Pterodactyl bats have been identified as hosts for the disease.
In 1998, an outbreak of Nipah virus in Malaysia, which resulted in 265 infections and 105 deaths, fruit bats were identified as a source of infection, with cases of infection occurring annually in Bangladesh and occasionally in India since 2001.
The rabies virus causes rabies with a 100% mortality rate and 15 species (including EBLV) have been identified so far, two of which have been isolated from bats. Vampire bat rabies, caused by the same virus species, is a major public health threat in Latin America.
The only filovirus isolated from bats (Rousettus aegyptiacus) of Marburg virus, an outbreak in Angola in 2006, with 252 cases, 90% of which were fatal.
SARS (caused by the coronavirus SARS-CoV) originally occurred in China in 2002 and spread around the world (hence the pandemic), with more than 8,000 confirmed cases, of which nearly 800 were fatal. It was later shown that the virus host was also a bat.
Middle East respiratory syndrome (also caused by the coronavirus, caused by MERS-CoV) was first reported in the Arabian Peninsula in 2012 and is spread mainly through human-to-human contact, infecting about 1,200 people worldwide, of whom about 450 have died. It is transmitted from bats to dromedary camels and then to humans.
The new coronavirus (official name NCP) currently raging in Wuhan, China, also has a virus host from bats, which is transmitted to an intermediate host (snakes, pangolins, game meat, etc.) and then to humans. More than 40,000 people are currently infected and more than 800 people have died.
And that's just what we've found so far, what we haven't found, and there's a lot more.
These known deadly viruses have existed in bats for a long time, the hair is fine, everyone coexists peacefully, there is no trouble, and the unknown virus is estimated to be more and more deadly.

Want to learn from me?
Friends who have read "A Brief History of the Future" can understand that the future strength of mankind is mainly in two directions.
Internally, it is to edit genes, add powerful genes, enhance immunity, increase resistance, increase recovery ability, increase repair ability, can fight viruses, bacteria, cancer, so you can live a long life.
External is to access artificial intelligence, the use of high-tech equipment to expand their own capabilities, such as flying, infrared, sensing, night vision, radar, bounce, power and so on.
If you think about it, bats are hanging from trees, smiling and looking at humans.
Hi, these monkey-like guys, I heard, you're studying me? Want to learn from me? Want to overtake me?
Just learn the same "DNA damage repair" skills as I did, and your life expectancy can easily exceed 200 years.
Don't be in a hurry to finish learning my skills, just this sample thing, first leave you mankind with the next 50 years of struggle.
hehe.
Don't be too arrogant, you, fear nature!
