1106 Eye in the Sky (1/2)
Nekhbet was the goddess of vultures, the goddess of the sky, and the patron of the pharaoh in ancient Egyptian mythology. She soared high in the sky and knew everything about the past and the future.
The roots of the legend of Nekhbet were very old and had existed since at least 6000 years ago.
Ancient Egyptians living in desert areas had worshipped falcons and vultures a lot. They had regarded them as their ancestors and envied them for their vast vision.
The name Fina came up with for the UAV was especially suitable.
Other elfins didn't understand what Nekhbet meant, and Zhang Zian explained it to them. The elfins thought the name was good, so they decided in favor of it.
Richard fluttered its wings and flew curiously over to observe Nekhbet's way of flying at close range. Zhang Zian had to warn it not to get too close. If it touched Nekhbet's rotor directly, it would definitely break its skin and flesh.
In fact, Nekhbet's movement was much more agile than Richard's. Nekhbet's left and right movements were very agile, and it was most skilled at hovering. Richard's hovering trajectory was similar to that of an ECG.
Zhang Zian concentrated on familiarizing himself with the operation of the remote control. He had a hunch that Nekhbet would be a great help during his trip to Egypt.
He tried to control Nekhbet's flight to the wall, slow and ready to retreat at any time, but Nekhbet did, like the instruction manual had said, stop at dangerous distances automatically without waiting for his instructions.
After experimenting with the wall, he raised the difficulty and controlled Nekhbet to fly toward the trees. The trees in the green space were evergreen coniferous trees, pine and cypress. Obstacles were difficult to detect. Nekhbet showed some hesitation compared with the previous test, but it still stopped in time.
Egypt, which was in the tropics, did not seem to have coniferous trees, and so Nekhbet should have little trouble avoiding obstacles, he thought. Of course, the dust storms in Egypt would be a problem, but he could only think about that later.
He controlled Nekhbet's movements and vision as well and managed to look at the whole area near the pet shop.
This was a very rare experience for the house that he had stayed in for decades, the house he had thought he was very familiar with. How many people could use a different angle and height to casually observe it?
His ability to control it was becoming better and better, and he was becoming better able to synchronize what he was thinking and his controlling of the UAV. Nekhbet was ascending, and with the help of the long-range lens, everything more than a hundred meters away could be zoomed into so he could view it.
The elfins were curiously gathering by his side, looking at the monitor, all so shocked they could not close their mouths.
Vladimir saw stray cats patrolling and training in the vicinity under the leadership of the captain of a small group and the branch head. Fina saw Uncle Li's electric tricycle parked at the entrance of the snack bar as he moved fresh fish from the market into the back kitchen basket by basket. Old Time Tea saw several old people in nice clothes playing Taijiquan calmly in the small park on the corner.
Snowy Lionet was drooling. Its eyes were fixed on a long-legged girl who had put on her ultra-short hot pants early in the morning. Galaxy looked like it had discovered the New World and found many places nearby for hide-and-seek. Famous watched the cinema level pictures with a leisurely fascination. Richard fluttered his wings as he saw two boys under the wall of Binhai University who thought they were out of sight quietly holding hands…
”Turn to the left!”
”Turn to the right!”
”Fly higher!”
”Fly downwards, let me see it clearly!”
