Great time travel

Episode [-]. The only one in the world
"Future Water World" is a relatively antique science fiction film, filmed at the end of the [-]th century.The background is that the future earth has become a vast ocean for some reason, and all the land is submerged by the sea. The few surviving humans can only rely on the remains of the old era and struggle to survive by fishing at sea.Among them, the settlers who used broken boats, floating piers, and metal boxes to build floating islands and towns are equivalent to the farming peoples in the ocean age; there are "sea walkers" who drive small boats alone, which is equivalent to the nomads in the ocean age; A gang of pirates who make a living by plundering and killing without doing anything.

Although they have long forgotten what land looks like, there are still legends about land somewhere among the remaining humans in the water world.Thus, the protagonist of the movie, a male mutant sea walker with gills, got involved in the journey to find the land because of a series of accidents.Through various adventures and several fights with ferocious pirates, he finally found the latitude and longitude coordinates of the land from the Japanese tattoo on the back of a little girl, so he took his girlfriend and companions to the Everest, which has become a small island, by balloon. Feng, started a new life... However, due to the intrusion of Wang Qiu and others, their balloons have been blown up by anti-aircraft guns just now, and the protagonist and his party can only go to heaven to start a new life.

However, for Wang Qiu, who seems to have crossed over to "Future Water World", all these plots are not important. The real key is that, according to the background setting of the movie, the small island under his feet with an area of ​​only more than 50 square kilometers, I am afraid It is already the only land in the world!

——Mount Everest has become a hill with an altitude of only 400 meters. What other piece of land in the world can be exposed to the water?
So, in a sense, from the moment Wang Qiu crossed over, it was equivalent to successfully conquering the world!
Alas, he suddenly became the master of the world so unprepared, and suddenly felt completely lost, how could he break it?
However, it seems a little too early to draw a conclusion now, and we should try to confirm it first...

A few hours later, the [Mini Reconnaissance Satellite] launched from the roof of the villa completely confirmed Wang Qiu's above speculation.

In the photos sent back by the satellite, the earth has completely turned into a large blue water ball, the outlines of all continents have disappeared, and the snow-white ice caps at the north and south poles have also melted.The only solid land in the world that can be exposed to the sea is the island at the foot of Wang Qiu, formerly known as Mount Everest, which is located at 27 degrees 59 minutes north latitude and 86 degrees 55 minutes east longitude.

——Well, at most, add a few reefs that are submerged under the water during high tide and exposed to the surface during low tide.

Although from a scientific point of view, even if all the ice and snow on the two poles of the earth melted, it is impossible for the sea level to rise by as much as 8000 meters, and a rise of tens of meters is already the limit... But this is a movie world, and even the earth must Obey the setting of Mr. Screenwriter.Therefore, the land just disappeared from the earth, and the once colorful earth became a true blue star.And the human civilization that has not had time to enter the space age is naturally completely buried under the deep ocean, leaving only a little residue floating on the sea.

Of course, although this uninhabited island is the only land in the world, human beings have not completely disappeared.On the vaster ocean than in the past, there are still more than a dozen floating island towns of various sizes, and hundreds of "Sea Traveler" boats wandering around.But all the floating island towns are located on the equatorial windless belt between five degrees north and south of the equator, at least two to three thousand kilometers away from Wang Qiu's side.Even the "Sea Walkers" who run the gang in small boats and the pirates who make a living by robbing them basically only move within the range of the equatorial windless zone.

The reason for this is that although the vast ocean is boundless, not every piece of water is suitable for settlement.After losing the land, the floating cities and ships of the surviving humans have no safe haven, but these things made of drifting garbage and scrap copper and iron are far less resistant to wind and waves than the regular sea ships of the old era.Once encountering strong winds and waves such as typhoons, it is almost certain to die.

Therefore, they dare not leave the equatorial windless zone, this quiet sea area that is always calm and pleasant, and basically never encounters storms.

In addition, the equatorial region is hot all year round and the temperature difference is extremely small. It is obviously more suitable for the survivors of the water world who are extremely short of warm clothes and heating fuel.Even better, the precipitation in the equatorial windless zone is extremely abundant and evenly distributed, and it is rare for a long time without rain, which provides a stable and sufficient natural fresh water for the sea dwellers, allowing them to grow a small amount of vegetables and fruits on the floating islands to supplement the human body. required vitamins and other nutrients.

And once they leave the equatorial windless zone, they have to face terrifying storms and huge waves, unstoppable cold, and thirst caused by long-term lack of rainfall. Every danger is so terrible... No wonder they I will stay in the relatively comfortable cradle of the sea in the equatorial windless belt, so that I will not be able to find the last piece of land, Mount Everest.

But even so, these sea people in the equatorial windless zone are just lingering, barely delaying the time of destruction.

Because human beings are terrestrial creatures that are not adapted to the ocean.What's more terrible is that the survivors after the catastrophe have greatly regressed in their civilization level. The steel ships and floating islands that are their last living space are nothing but the legacy of the old age. The remaining human groups themselves have not mined from the seabed. Ores, smelting metals, the ability to create floating objects, they are just struggling to survive on the remains of terrestrial civilizations.

However, with the passage of time, these old heritages will eventually rust and age, and then disintegrate and sink one by one.Where will these human beings go to live by then?Could it be possible to evolve or mutate into a mermaid within a few generations, and then jump into the sea to build a dragon palace?

Even the protagonist of "Future Water World", the mutant who has gills behind his ears and can breathe underwater, can't live in the sea completely like a whale, but must drink fresh water and eat fruits and vegetables to supplement vitamins.Once the ship is completely lost, there is also no way out.

Not to mention that the last small group of human beings drifting on the sea continued to break out in melee, destroying the little living space they had left.

——The bleak future of humans at sea is also reflected in the plot of "Future Water World".The villainous pirate boss once said with emotion that in the past, floating cities that could be robbed could be found on any horizontal line, but now it is difficult to find decent targets.And his minions replied, a considerable part of the floating cities were sunk by your order, and the rest of the floating cities that disappeared don't know what happened...

It can be seen that in a few decades to 100 years at most, these last ashes of human civilization will inevitably be gradually swallowed by the sea.

However, Wang Qiu, who lacked sympathy, first thought of not how to conquer or save this world that was going to be destroyed, but another more realistic question, "...In this case, sister Shizuka, sister Lixiang, how do you go about it?" With Hansel and Gretel, we must organize the relocation as soon as possible! This island is not in the equatorial windless zone, it is not safe to live directly on the beach, God knows when the next typhoon will come!"

"...Uh, let me say, dear Xiao Qiuqiu, before we move to escape the typhoon, shouldn't we give this island a name first?"

Ju Chuan Shizuka suddenly raised her hand with a smile and proposed, "...According to the "Bible", human beings first lived in the Garden of Eden. And the island under our feet is the only land in the world. How about naming it Eden Island?"

Eden Island?It sounds like it contains some kind of moral?

Wang Qiu was thinking like this, and at the same time raised his head, and immediately saw the clear stream, green grass and gorgeous flowers outside the window.

——Yes, compared to the strange, rusty, dirty, and dilapidated steel floating cities in the satellite photos, this beautiful garden-like island is indeed the only Garden of Eden in the last days.

"...Well, Miss Shizuka has a good idea, let's call it Eden Island!"
