Great time travel

Chapter 13. People all over the world welcome the drop of sea level?
At present, Hong Kong, the "gateway to another world" that is being continuously flooded, is probably located in the southeast of Stonecutters, on the west side of the Kowloon Peninsula, about one kilometer outside the new Yau Ma Tei Typhoon Shelter, which is being flooded by seawater The gate of the hotel is facing West Kowloon Highway and Jordan Road.

This piece of sea happened to be the shallowest place in the entire Victoria Bay. At the position of the "gate", the average water depth was only about eight meters.

And what is the size of this "gate to another world"?According to long-distance observation, it is currently known that its width is 20 meters. If the roof is included, the height is about 12 meters. The height of eight meters was submerged in the water, leaving only a rectangular stone roof barely exposed above the water, like a small uninhabited island.

From this, according to the conversion formula of potential energy and kinetic energy, it can be concluded that under ideal conditions, the flow rate of seawater pouring into the "Gate of Otherworlds" is about nine meters per second. Considering that a vortex has formed on the sea surface, there may be a certain Acceleration, so let it be relaxed, tentatively set at ten meters per second.

In this way, if the "Gate to Another World" is regarded as a big river flowing from the earth to another world, then the average flow of its estuary (gateway) is 22 cubic meters per second... How much is this number? How old is it?Here are a few examples for comparison. The Amazon River, the largest river in the world in South America, has an average flow rate of 3 cubic meters per second.The average flow at the mouth of the Yangtze River is more than 1 cubic meters per second, the average flow at the mouth of the Pearl River is more than 700 cubic meters per second, the average flow at the mouth of the Nile is 300 cubic meters per second, and the average flow at the mouth of the Yellow River The flow rate is more than [-] cubic meters per second, and the average flow rate at the mouth of the Qiantang River is more than [-] cubic meters per second.

——In other words, the speed at which Hong Kong's Victoria Bay, the "gateway to another world" discharges seawater from the earth to another world, is only equivalent to one-twentieth of the average flow of the Yangtze River estuary, and one-seventh of the average flow of the Pearl River estuary , roughly between the Yellow River and the Qiantang River...

It is conceivable that compared to the vast and boundless global ocean, this can only be said to be a small water pipe that cannot be thinner.

Calculating further down, the average drainage speed of the "Gate of Other Worlds" in Victoria Bay in Hong Kong is 4000 cubic meters per second, so it is 500 million cubic meters per day, which is about 1000 billion cubic meters per year.The total area of ​​the earth's surface is 6000 million square kilometers, of which the ocean area is [-] million square kilometers.How much time would it take to lower the sea level of the entire earth by one meter only by relying on the drainage speed of this "gateway to another world" without considering any other factors?

——The correct answer is: 200 years! ! !

Well, this is really a long and hopelessly long date.

Then, according to the setting of "Fantasy Self-Defense Force", the "door" can remain open for only five years from the beginning to the end.

Therefore, in such a short period of time, the amount of seawater discharged by the "Gate of Other Worlds" is not even enough for the global sea level to drop by one millimeter... Since relevant records were made in the 21th century, the average annual rate of global sea level rise Also [-]mm.The latest data provided by NASA even claims that after entering the [-]st century, the rate of global ocean water level rise has risen to three millimeters per year.

In other words, even if the "gateway to another world" in Hong Kong's Victoria Bay remains open, the height of the global sea level will still only rise, not fall... So, of course, there is no need for those coral island countries in the South Pacific to rejoice , mistakenly thought that his homeland would not be submerged and turned into Atlantis.Those discussions on the Internet about wharf reconstruction and canal digging are also purely self-indulgent and unfounded.

Because even if this "gateway to another world" is kept open and water is released continuously, the global sea level will not drop at all! ! !
——For the huge earth, such a hole is really too small...

Some environmentalists always imagine that the human homeland is very fragile. In fact, the earth's biosphere is really tenacious... If the earth is really broken like a glass greenhouse, how can it survive billions of years? Time, survive all kinds of huge catastrophe?

When Political Commissar Guo listed all the above figures on paper, Wang Qiu and others suddenly realized:

——The so-called opening of Hong Kong’s “Gate to Another World” leads to the loss of sea water and the drop of sea level, which in turn affects the global ecological environment. gimmick.

That's why the central government doesn't take these successive environmental protests seriously.Anyway, the western media has always been nitpicking all day long, trying to smear China, and it has been smearing for decades. Now even if there are a few more crimes, it seems that it doesn't matter anymore.

If you have to follow their wishes in everything, then I am afraid that the Chinese people will have to die before they can satisfy the bird people.

——Didn’t the former Soviet Union and Russia after its disintegration almost fell into the [-]th hell by a group of “social conscience”?

Of course, even if the amount of water released by the "Gate to Another World" is kept for 1000 years, it will not have any serious impact on the ecological environment of the earth.But the central government quickly formulated a plan to build a sea-blocking dam around the "gate"... This is not to say that Hong Kong will become a dead port because of the addition of a maelstrom connecting to other worlds in Victoria Bay—— With the development of urban construction, at present, the most important wharf loading and unloading yard in Hong Kong has been transferred to the Zuijiuwan area in the northeast, and its shipping routes are not affected by the "maelstrom of other worlds" in Yau Ma Tei.Even more than half of the dock berths in Central on Hong Kong Island are not affected by the ban and can still be used as usual.Considering the fact that all industries in Hong Kong are in depression, the trade volume is declining year by year, and the economy is declining day by day, the remaining berths are actually quite enough.

The real problem is, if the environment around the "gate" is not changed from the ocean to land, how can we send people to explore in the current state of the "water gate" like a big waterfall?Could it be that the death squads are really going to paddle a rubber boat to go surfing the waterfall?

Moreover, even if someone managed to get there successfully, how would they go back and report against the waterfall after they found information about the other world?
In fact, in the past few days after the "door" appeared, the Hong Kong Garrison had dispatched military helicopters carrying several special forces to land on the "roof" exposed to the water for surveys by means of cable landing, but because they dared not Rash holes in the roof, the end result is nothing.

The scouts who forcibly climbed to the top originally planned to chisel some stone chips from the roof of the "gate" and send them to the research institute for sample analysis, so as to obtain some useful information.But what is astonishing is that even if they used the hardest diamond knives, they couldn't chisel the roof of the ancient Roman-style temple that seemed to be made of ordinary marble. In the end, they had to retreat helplessly empty-handed.

In addition, the Navy has also produced a batch of torpedo-like underwater unmanned detectors in an attempt to let them follow the water to the other side of the "gate" to collect information.As a result, none of them could actually pass through the "door" to reach the other side. In the interior of this ancient Roman-style temple, they were engulfed by the rushing water and hit the walls or pillars, smashing them to pieces and smashing them to pieces... Anyway, a little bit None of the valuable signal was transmitted back.

Therefore, at present, Wang Qiu and the others still have no way to figure out whether this "gate" is the one in "Fantasy Self-Defense Forces", whether it is opposite to a fantasy world, or another parallel world, Ginza, Tokyo, Japan. clear.I can't even guarantee that a group of Japanese Self-Defense Force soldiers from a parallel world will come out of the "door"-if such a scene really happens, it will feel very embarrassing...

Obviously, in the face of such a confused situation where nothing is clear, countries that are used to trying their best to control everything are very dissatisfied, so they are currently preparing to implement reclamation projects and greatly increase the Hong Kong garrison. A change in knowledge—no one can confirm at all what will come out from the opposite side of this "door".At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen the supervision and control over Hong Kong, and even enter a wartime state.However, once military control is imposed on the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, it is tantamount to tearing up the Basic Law of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and violating a series of commitments made by the central government to allow Hong Kong autonomy when Hong Kong was handed over to the motherland. The degree of Sino-British diplomatic relations (the 50-year unwavering commitment to the basic system is not only for Hong Kong, but also for the United Kingdom), it can be said that it affects the whole body.

If it is under normal circumstances, these questions can perhaps be left for later, and most of them will not cause any trouble.However, the current situation around the South China Sea is so tense, and the fleets of China and the United States are still at war in the Nansha Islands. God knows if the Yankees will get angry and order the aircraft carrier battle group to go north and press down on Hong Kong.The diplomatic relations between China and the Western camp countries have also become extremely bad because of this. Other countries are envious of China's exclusive access to other worlds. The feeling of being the world's enemy.Under such circumstances, once you act hastily and give people a reason to talk about certain things, you may cause unexpected troubles, so the relevant departments have to be cautious and cautious, and sort out these messy things first. .

Moreover, the preparations for the deployment of the engineering troops, the survey of the construction site, the design of the sea-blocking dam and the construction plan will take some time.Wang Qiu and the others couldn't use much strength before the passage was opened, so they could only continue to wait patiently...
