The knight in the big world of American TV series

The mining of orichalcum is also localized. Not all deep seabeds in the world have this rare ore. In terms of locations, the Kingdom of Atlantis, which has the widest territory, has the least orichalcum.

So at the beginning, the Kingdom of Atlantis was a major importer of orichalcum. The Kingdom of Kodax, which is dominated by the richness of orichalcum, is also the legendary Lost Kingdom. The Kingdom of Codax back then was equivalent to OPEC, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, which controlled most of the output of orichalcum... No, it should be said that it was OPEC plus the United States. They accounted for more than seven percent. About ten orichalcum output!

Absolute overlord!

Therefore, the Kingdom of Atlantis, as the nominal heir to the orthodox empire, actually began to study alternatives to orichalcum after it established a foothold. Their original intention was not to protect the environment, but to get rid of the influence of the Kingdom of Kodax. control.

It is also because of this that when the report on orichalcum's devastating impact on the environment came out, the Kingdom of Atlantis was the first to stand up firmly against orichalcum and proposed a new energy plan!

The Kingdom of Kodax naturally politicized this matter directly.

After all, in their view, the so-called environmental protection is just Atlantis' own rhetoric, and they do not believe the reports of those so-called scientists... Doesn't it feel like deja vu? It's very similar to the faces of many groups in the United States.

Polls show that more than half of Americans believe climate change will not affect them. Only 45% of people admit that global warming is a serious problem, but only 43% are worried about climate change.

Many Americans "think climate change is far away," said Ann Leiserowitz, director of Yale University's Climate Change Communication Program. Many people believe that we will not suffer the brunt of climate change until 2050 or 2100, with other countries bearing the brunt and the impact on us in the United States, state capitals, cities and even communities being modest. "So psychologically we think that the climate problem is far away, a drop in the bucket compared to the myriad of immediate concerns. "I'm already worried about the cost of medical care. How can I care about the melting of Arctic glaciers? "

But rising temperatures are a fact of life, not just in the Arctic but also in cities, with heat waves becoming more frequent. Extreme weather events, such as forest fires and hurricanes, are also becoming more severe. Scientists believe these disasters are related to global warming. That makes sense: A Gallup poll found that while only 64% of Americans believe global warming is caused by human activity, 97% of climate scientists agree.

Most American adults—including the vast majority of Christians and people who identify with other religions—view the earth as sacred and believe that God has given humans a responsibility to care for it. But highly religious Americans — those who pray daily, attend religious services regularly and consider religion to be important in their lives — are less likely than other U.S. adults to express concern about global warming Much more.

The Kingdom of Kodaksu also had the same idea at the time...history is reincarnation!

After all, based on the level of development of the world at that time, Kodakx was indeed the most powerful country on earth. They were equivalent to US imperialism of that era.

But it is obvious that the Kingdom of Atlantis has better methods, and they have spread their technology to other countries.

Although other countries also have orichalcum, they only account for 30% of the total output, and they still have to look at the face of the Kingdom of Kodax. And Atlantis holds high the banner of environmental protection... This thing has been politically correct thousands of years ago. It is worthy of being the holy sword of environmental protection. Anyone who cuts it will die.

It has a long history!

Of course, this does not mean that environmental protection is wrong. Orichalcum is not an excuse promoted by some interest groups, but is truly poisoning the environment! So the Kingdom of Atlantis didn't really just find an excuse back then.

But the problem is that the Kingdom of Kodax doesn’t believe it.

In fact, it’s not that I really don’t believe it. As I said before, the ancestors of the Kingdom of Kodaks chose the barren sea area as their own country. This is purely a trap for future generations. Kodaks wants to develop, except orichalcum. There is nothing left to take away.

If they listen to the Kingdom of Atlantis, it will no longer be suitable to seal orichalcum and mine orichalcum. They will eat, drink, and develop whatever they want.

To them, their thinking is the same as that of many developing countries today. You developed countries are better off now, you have everything, you have gone through primitive accumulation. In turn, they blame us for destroying the environment and not allowing us to develop.

Yes, you are environmentally friendly, what about us?

If we don’t develop industry, will we always become your colony?

Of course there are essential differences between the two, but the inner logic is similar.

From the king to the common people in the Kingdom of Kodaks, they are all opposed to the sealing of orichalcum and related technologies. After all, the environment is damaged, and they can live well for many years. However, once orichalcum and related technologies are sealed, their country will immediately decline.

Other countries do not have their worries. They are not highly dependent on Orichalcum. The transformation is very simple. It is just that the former Kingdom of Kodax is led by the Kingdom of Atlantis. There is no difference to them.

Furthermore, in terms of customs and emotions, they are more willing to follow the Kingdom of Atlantis.

The Kingdom of Kodax?

Just a nouveau riche from a remote area!

With the promotion of new energy technology, the Kingdom of Kodax has been forced into a corner. Although their orichalcum is highly cost-effective, the pollution is too serious. All countries can discover the truth as long as they conduct a little careful investigation.

Although Kodax deliberately promoted it as a slander of Atlantis, but... reality is reality.

The only way out for the Kingdom of Kodax is to use force to ensure its hegemony, or to accept its fate!

So of course they chose force!

As long as you win the battle, whether orichalcum or not, it’s all trivial!

So an underwater world war began.

In the end, the coalition forces defeated the Kingdom of Kodax, and Orichalcum and related technologies naturally became a thing of the past.

The mined orichalcum was secretly sealed away by various countries until the end of time.

But now these things are actually being robbed... To be honest, many people don't know who wants this thing.

After all, their current energy technology is very advanced and mature. Orichalcum...so cliche. Even if it was taken away, there is no corresponding technology, so why take it away?

……

"Well, what's the matter?" Kai finally got in touch with the White House.

Although the people of Atlantis don't really want to deal with the other countries on land, since each other knows the existence of the other, it is naturally impossible to really leave no communication channels at all. Therefore, major countries in the world actually have communication channels with Atlantis.

However, generally speaking, this channel is rarely used.

Hmm... It's probably equivalent to the kind of relationship where we left each other's phone numbers and never contacted each other except for weddings and funerals.

"Kai... Apocalypse is taking action!"

"What did he do?" Kai immediately checked his watch. It was a super smart watch that Tony gave to him a long time ago. This thing has been upgraded and modified by Tony over the years. In order to contact Kai anytime and anywhere, Tony added additional equipment to it. With the latest communication system, he can contact Kai as long as he is still on the surface of the earth.

After all, Tony has his own private satellite... In this damn place like the United States, let alone private satellites, if you have money, you can buy the entire state's land and directly turn it into a private kingdom!

As for buying the entire United States... this is only theoretical, and Tony can't do it anyway with his financial resources.

Through private satellite, even Tony can contact Kai. Although the signal is a bit poor, it is not impossible to send a few bytes.

But there is no message on it.

"He appeared on the battlefield with the Bully." Benjamin said immediately. Speaking of which, this was also the first time for Benjamin to communicate with the deep sea through the special machinery of Atlantis. In the past, this thing was the same as the president's nuclear button. Although he had seen it before, he had never used it.

After all, Atlantis has said that if there is nothing important, don’t contact him casually.

So Benjamin has never tried it before, this is the first time.

"Then what?" Kai was a little anxious, could you please speak faster.

Then Benjamin quickly explained the current situation clearly.

Also voice your concerns.

"Well, it should be mind control."

Kai breathed a sigh of relief when he heard it. Kai doesn't care much about the war between Apocalypse and Overlord. No matter how miserable the Overlord is, Kai doesn't care. He is not a Overlord person. What happens to the Overlord... it's none of his business.

What he was afraid of was that if Tianqi got upset, he would suddenly one day plan to rule the world.

Then, he would have to step up and stop this guy.

If it's just two countries fighting, Kai's attitude is...whoever dies will have contributed to world peace.

"Mind control?!" Benjamin is not a novice who doesn't know anything. Benjamin has already learned a lot about the various abilities of mutants through written forms. He naturally knows about the ability of mind control.

As far as he is concerned, this ability is actually what he hates the most.

You can actually control a person without other people knowing about it. How evil this is!

Of course, this has more to do with his own position.

After all, he is the President of the United States, and many evil organizations will want to control him. Just like last time, the Skrulls invaded and wanted to capture him and then impersonate him.

These are all stress reactions!

"But that's an F35! An F35 flying in the sky! Can he do this mentally?"

This is so scary. The F35’s maximum flight altitude is 15240 meters, and its flight speed reaches Mach ! Was this thing also captured by Apocalypse's mental power?

"What's so strange about this? I've given you information about Apocalypse. He has a variety of abilities! He doesn't need to use his mental power to capture those planes. He only needs to fly to them or teleport to them and control them directly. .”

"Then how should we deal with such an ability?" Kai said, and Benjamin felt even more insecure.

"There is no way to deal with it. It is impossible for ordinary people to deal with him. I even think that nuclear bombs are useless against him." Teacher Kai said.

To be honest, nuking the earth is scary. But for people like them, it may not be of much use. If nothing else, you have to hit people with nuclear bombs, right?

Whether it's Kai or Apocalypse, there are ways to escape the scope of the nuclear bomb explosion!

If you ask them to resist a nuclear bomb, they won't be able to do it. No matter how awesome it is, hard-resistant nuclear bombs will be burned to ashes, but nuclear bombs are troublesome to transport and detonate. They have plenty of ways to avoid it in advance!

"Really?!" Benjamin was a little scared.

There is no way, for all the monsters and monsters, mankind's biggest trump card is the nuclear bomb. This is always the last solution. If there is such a thing, they will be confident.

There is actually nothing wrong with saying that. The power of nuclear bombs can indeed do this.

"The power of nuclear bombs is indeed terrifying, but you have to hit someone with this thing. If Apocalypse wants to run away, nuclear bombs really can't do anything to him."

This is also the reason why Kai doesn't want to take action in Egypt. Egypt is in the hands of Apocalypse, so Apocalypse must stay in Egypt and cannot run around. But if Apocalypse is driven out of Egypt... then there will be big trouble. A person wearing shoes is not scary because he is afraid of having his shoes taken off. But if he is barefoot, then there is no need to worry!

"As for defense, the mutant bodyguards around you should be able to deal with his little tricks, but the prerequisite is that you don't seek death in front of him! He won't dare to take action against you. After all, superheroes are not just decorations."

Kai said without sincerity.

"Uh..." Benjamin did not feel comforted.

But he couldn't show it.

"I think you'd better come back quickly."

What the hell, I actually called you because I wanted you to come back and protect me, not to ask you to avenge me! ! !

"I feel like Apocalypse's behavior is starting to get out of control."

This is all nonsense. In fact, he is afraid that Tianqi will really do some messy things. If Kai is in the country, Benjamin will feel safer.

"No, there's something wrong with Atlantis too. It might spread to the whole world!"

"What's the problem?" When Benjamin heard this, he sat up straight.

"It's not the fault of the overlord! They did something bad and insisted on digging out the artifact of Atlantis... It's fine now, the artifact is lost. There is also a problem in the underwater world..."

Kai didn’t say anything about the specific issue.

It’s troublesome to say it.

Maybe there will be all kinds of nonsense, so Kai just shut up.

"What happened? If something goes wrong, how can we deal with it?" Benjamin naturally didn't want to leave his fate to others.

"Someone wants to use this artifact to cause trouble. As for what, I don't know yet. But the underwater world has become a mess. So I can't leave for the time being." Kai can't say orichalcum, after all, with capital, If one knew about orichalcum in the pursuit of energy, who knows what would happen!
