Chapter 573 Sea Level Rise x Preparation
Hearing Xia Jieren's question, Kerrigan also looked towards the underwater ruins.
She paused and said affirmatively: "This is a human building, and it is a relatively ordinary one."
Xia Jieren frowned, somewhat skeptical of this speculation: "To build a building of this scale more than 100 meters below the sea, how much manpower and material resources would be needed."
"Given the current productivity level of the pirate world, it is almost impossible."
"Unless this is the work of a Devil Fruit user, or unless it uses advanced technology unknown 800 years ago."
Kerrigan manipulates the [Sea Lord] and [Devourer] to approach the underwater ruins.
Looking at the sudden huge creature, the fish school immediately scattered.
Hearing Xia Jieren's doubt, Kerrigan shook her head firmly and denied his guess: "No! This is a very ordinary building built for life on land."
Xia Jieren was very puzzled, but did not refute.
Xia Jieren has great trust in Kerrigan's judgment.
It can be said that Xia Jieren trusts Kerrigan more than he trusts himself.
"Then what is going on?" Xia Jieren's head began to hurt.
Kerrigan remained silent, her eyes flickering from time to time, and data seemed to be flowing rapidly in her eyes.
At this moment, Kerrigan is mobilizing the computing power of the [Mind Network] to seek and verify the answer to the question.
Xia Jieren waited quietly on the side.
After a moment, Kerrigan looked at Xia Jieren and said seriously, "Master, there is only one possibility!"
Xia Jieren pricked up his ears and listened.
"That means the sea level has risen by at least 800 meters in the past 120 years." Kerrigan's tone was very serious.
"Ha~" Xia Jieren was confused after hearing this.
The sea level has risen by at least 100 meters?
Come on, how is that possible?
Xia Jieren still remembers a popular science video he watched when he was in Blue Planet: for every 1 meter rise in sea level, nearly one million square kilometers of land will be lost.
If true, this is big news.
Looking at Kerrigan's serious expression, Xia Jieren had to believe it.
Maybe it was because of fear or something else, but Xia Jieren's heart was beating uncontrollably.
After taking a few deep breaths, Xia Jieren calmed himself down and asked solemnly, "Are you sure?"
"There's at least an 80% chance!" Kerrigan said in a deep voice.
"Yeah!" Xia Jieren nodded slightly.
Then he wondered how Kerrigan had deduced that.
Therefore, Xia Jieren asked directly: "What is the basis for this speculation?"
"Just now, I used the Fungal Mat to analyze some rock structures and found that there are traces of plate subsidence on the continent."
“Also, some relics have been found on the seabed one or two hundred meters below the sea in other sea areas, but most of them are buried under thick mud and sand.”
"In addition, there is some supporting evidence."
"Auxiliary evidence?" Xia Jieren looked very interested.
Kerrigan nodded and continued, "First, why did the Celestial Dragons build the holy land on top of the [Red Earth Continent]? It is inconvenient for travel and not suitable for living."
"The second one is the [Seven Water City]. It used to be a small island, but for some reason the foundation of the island has been sinking. The sea level has risen, forcing everyone to build on the original foundation. The sinking of the island foundation is not an isolated case."
"The third is the [Bridge Kingdom]. Why would the [World Government] build a giant bridge about a hundred meters high, consuming the manpower of the people and punishing criminals? There is no need to do such a meaningless thing."
"So, you mean that the [World Government] may know that the sea level has been rising, or that this is what they caused?" Xia Jieren asked solemnly.
"That's very possible." Kerrigan's expression was equally solemn.
Suddenly, Xia Jieren shuddered and thankfully said, "Fortunately, I didn't act impulsively and go to war with the [World Government]."
Xia Jieren couldn't imagine what kind of weapon it was that shook the continental plates and caused the sea level to rise.
[Nuclear Bomb Bug], stop joking, it doesn't have that ability yet.
Although he knew that the World Government had some hidden cards, Xia Jieren couldn't help but swear, "MMP, this guy from the World Government is so insidious."
“Do we really need the appearance of Destiny’s Child before we can move to the [World Government]?” Thinking of this, Xia Jieren suddenly felt upset.
Actually, there is nothing wrong with this.
As for picking peaches, although it may be a little embarrassing, it is safe.
After comforting himself, Xia Jieren suddenly felt enlightened.
After figuring it out, Xia Jieren began to seriously think about how to deal with the situation.
Since we know that the world may sink into the sea, we should prepare early.
However, the nearly 75 million people of the Kingdom of the Netherlands are not so easy to arrange.
The island is definitely not safe.
Next, the Kingdom of the Netherlands needs to work towards the sky and the seabed.
Large-scale construction of artificial [sky islands] and underwater cities.
This is the only solution Xia Jieren could think of for now.
However, these methods all have drawbacks.
The artificial [Sky Island] seemed very safe, but the supplies in the sky were relatively scarce. Relying on the power of the Zerg, it was no problem to maintain the daily life of the people, but if you want to develop, it will take a lot of time.
The underwater city is located in the dark and deep seabed and has to face the challenges of ocean currents, earthquakes, tsunamis, as well as sea kings and sea beasts.
Thinking of this, Xia Jieren felt a headache.
Telling Kerrigan his idea, Kerrigan said: "This is a good idea."
Then she offered her own suggestion: “I think we should do it simultaneously!”
"Man-made [sky islands] and underwater cities are no problem for us."
"In addition, we can also rely on the power of the [Piao-Piao Fruit] to raise the island to an artificial [Sky Island]."
Hearing this, Xia Jieren's eyes lit up: "Yes, how could I forget the [Piao Piao Fruit]."
At this moment, Xia Jieren was extremely grateful that he had obtained the [Piaopiao Fruit].
The heavy stone in his heart was finally put down, and Xia Jieren felt relieved.
Then, he opened his data panel after a long absence.
