Chapter 867: A Different Sea
On the way, Gordon asked, "The flying machine is obviously an improvement, right?" Or the high-configuration, which has been flying for three hours and has no signs of refueling. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
The aircraft flew at an altitude of about 5,000 yuan, and on the way flew over the mountains and plains, and saw many spectacular natural scenes, as well as many regrettable urban ruins.
How many cities, once prosperous, but now have become Angkor Wat-like monuments, Angkor Wat can still be preserved for a long time, and these reinforced concrete high-rise buildings, at most another hundred years, can only know their existence after digging the foundation.
The pilot replied loudly: "Of course, the circulation system, there is solar charging above the fuselage, which can last two days of flight." There's more to come! Wait, start now. ”
He slowly pulled up the joystick, and the plane flew higher and higher, higher and higher, and the ground below gradually became farther and farther away: "We will keep going up, and if we feel uncomfortable, there will be oxygen masks on each seat. ”
Outside the window, the sky above is getting darker and darker, which can only be seen when you are at high altitude, and when you enter space, it will be black, and the stars from far and near will hang on a black velvet curtain.
This flying machine is too good, isn't it? Think about it, it already belongs to the future scene, in addition to super-tall skyscrapers, there should also be some high-tech content.
The mountains and rivers below shrank and shrunk, and when you look down, it looks like a spacecraft is being launched.
"The weather is nice today, and you can see it very clearly, and you can clearly see most of the country and the ocean below, which was only seen by astronauts before. The secretary general said that the general asked you to travel, and of course you have to come up with something special. ”
This is still thanks to the general's blessing, in fact, Cheng Qianxun has seen this at least once, that is, Michael dragged her to the heavenly realm, and at that time flew higher and farther, to a place that even scientists and astronomers have not determined or found.
Looking down, it was indeed a good day, with only a few flocculent clouds scattered, and even the outline of the boundary between the two continents could be seen.
It can be seen that the general's country is all green, except for environmental factors, such as deep valleys, deserts, etc., which are earthy yellow, red, brown and other colors, and the green coverage rate is quite high.
"All the population is concentrated in two cities, and all the cities are barely visible at this height." The driver seems to be working part-time as a tour guide.
The new city does not occupy a large area, but it is developing towards the sky, and each building is at least 400 floors. If the location knows where it is, it looks like it's just a piece of dried tofu, and it's still guarded by the greenery of the old town.
If you look at another country, there should be only one national border, and you can immediately see the difference. There is very little green, all of which are gray-black concrete, and many of them are square into blocks, which should be a planned community.
"Their population has recovered to its previous level, and even exceeded. These locusts, every day they think about smuggling, they use all methods, digging tunnels, directly crossing the border, the sea, the air, whatever they can think of anyway. Even if they drowned in the sea, collapsed in tunnels, and were electrocuted by the high-voltage electricity of barbed wire, they all wanted to come to us. The driver said this with contempt and helplessness, not because he felt helpless about the miserable life of the other party, but because these people couldn't help but smuggle in.
And here in the general, the people at the bottom tried their best to escape, complaining that life was not good. This makes people at home want to go out, and people from abroad want to come in.
On the surface of the sea, there are new discoveries. The main thing is that this is too obvious, on the surface of the sea, the sea is azure in the sun, and the bottom is gray-blue, and where there is less green, the color is more colorful, red, brown, gray-black, and even green.
When you think about the green sea, you can feel that it is either green algae or industrial pollution. That's of course, the population there is not more than 100 million generals, and there, the area is two-thirds less, but the population is several times larger, look at those city colors, the density of population should be terrifying. Moreover, their economy and ability are not enough to build super-tall buildings like the new urban areas, and the tiled buildings increase the area of land they occupy, and the ecology deteriorates further.
That's why the General wants to cleanse the world, if Earth were a life, it would be in danger and would survive unless it was dug up for malignant tumors.
This is also what Julian did, purging the world of the vast majority of the population, leaving behind good genes to open a new era. But there are a few who can accept this approach, because too many human beings can only say ... Mediocre. In the eyes of Julian and the general, the vast majority of people are mediocre and useless except to consume the resources of society and the earth. And the vast majority of people are ordinary people below the middle and low levels, who are ruled and exploited by the high-level.
This is the paradox, when the population is less than half, the pressure on the earth will naturally be reduced by half; When only 10% of the population is left, the pressure on the earth can be reduced to 10%, and the earth has the capacity to absorb these pressures. But how can the population be small, how to make these human beings who reproduce ** stronger than beasts and have the ability to transform the world give up having as many children as possible, and then increase the population that the gods and the higher levels think are mediocre and the like?
By coercive means? once ordered the people at the bottom not to give birth, but even if they didn't receive relief food, they still secretly gave birth, and they scolded this regulation for being inhumane, and almost didn't tear down the city wall. The thug who is already dead must have been the product of stealing life at that time. It can be seen that although the number of people at the bottom has decreased a lot, newborns still exist, and it is difficult to develop. It's nice to be able to get mixed in and be a foreman in a factory, instead of continuing to receive alms or go to the mines.
"Alright, I'm going down. We will go to the seaside resort, which is exclusive to the regular army and the high-rise, with a very good view and a seafood feast. The driver's words were so enticing that they pulled everyone's thoughts away from the lofty issues of the earth, people, and the environment.
Cheng Qianxun exclaimed excitedly: "Are there lobsters and abalone?" ”
"Yes!" The driver replied: "There are also all kinds of fish, squid, shellfish, conch, and nautilus." After breeding and release, the originally precious nautilus has been eaten casually since last year. ”
Oops, saliva is coming out.
Regel also shouted, "Is there a steak besides seafood?" ”
"How can you be without steak? There is a special cattle and sheep farm, cattle and sheep not only eat grass, but also eat a variety of seafood scraps made of feed, meat quality first-class. The pilot pulled the head of the aircraft down a little, and the aircraft began to fly smoothly from the super high altitude.
The driver was right, all kinds of seafood, as well as beef and mutton. The vegetables are very fresh, and there are special flying machines, which are picked and delivered from the vegetable greenhouses ten kilometers away. As they sat at the covered seaside table, the waiter brought all kinds of dishes from the cart, and the pots were placed on a two-meter-long table, which was always full. I haven't eaten yet, so I've had my eyes full.
"Lobster! Abalone! Cheng Qianxun jumped up, that happy.
Sneijder stood up and went to get the food: "I'll have a few oysters first." ”
"I want it too!" She hurriedly shouted.
"Eat with confidence, take care of enough." The driver sat in a position, as if he often eats, and enjoys the fresh sea breeze with a straw pole in his mouth: "In the past three days, I have eaten until you are tired of eating like me." ”
Oysters are raw, and when you suck them in your mouth, the juice is unimaginably delicious. The lobster is not baked in butter, it is boiled directly in water, and when you eat it, you will sprinkle some seasoning or something according to the taste, and the meat is so tight that it is QQ tough. Eat until everyone is holding their bulging bellies and can't eat anymore.
It's interesting here, with a small cove on one side or maybe it was filled in by hand, and the waves are calm. If you wear a wetsuit or goggles, you can see a variety of marine fish that are unusually dense underwater, and the colors are as bright as a rainbow. There are so many that you can catch one when you reach out and grab one, and these fish don't run away much, mainly because they are relatively small, and if you want to eat, the big fish caught from the sea have more meat than they do.
On the other side, there are rolling waves, and every minute or two, a big wave rolls in, which is the surfer's favorite band wave.
Everyone discussed how to play, and the driver suggested fishing first, so that the fish could go to the kitchen to remove the fish, and the shellfish could be raised in the water to spit sand, and play until they were hungry, just in time for dinner.
After a while, the nets came. Cheng Qianxun propped up the fishing net and looked at it, his eyes widened: "Such a big hole, my feet can be put in." After saying that, I tried it, and sure enough, my feet could really reach in.
The driver explained contemptuously: "Of course the hole must be so big, otherwise the big fish and the small fish will be hit together, where will there be fish in the future?" Go and cast your nets, and you can pull up any place, and few people will be disappointed. ”
So everyone went to the sea on a pedal boat, there were no yachts here, and there were no motorboats, because there were dolphins and whales in the sea, and they would be uncomfortable when they heard the noise. In addition to pedal boats, there is another type of boat to choose from, and that is hand rowing.
"You step on it!" Reeger shouted to the driver sitting next to him, and he noticed that the driver's feet had not moved at all.
The pilot clasped his hands, leaned back in his chair and dozed off, lazily opening one eye: "The boat is not my strong point, my duty is to drive the plane well." Step on it well, so that you can talk about it when you go back. ”
Well, as long as the aircraft doesn't fall in mid-air, if you want to be lazy, be lazy.
When you get to a place about 200 meters from the beach, you start to cast the net according to the driver's words, then go back to the shore, and then scatter a little more, and then return to the shore after the casting, and you can pull the net after a while.
"Pull hard, pull hard... At this moment the driver woke up and stood on the shore and shouted: "Pull up the net with all your might, as the fisherman used to be." ”
The nets were slowly pulled up, and it was not very strenuous, even if there were so many fish under the surface that they could kick four or three with one kick, but because of the large nets, they all escaped.
"Yes, it's big!" When he saw some fish about half a meter long swimming around in the slowly tightening fishing nets, Cheng Qianxun screamed in surprise.
"Don't pull it, it's in the water. Let me see! The driver ran out into the sea, stood in front of the net, looked left and right, and finally grabbed a fish: "This is the fattest and the most delicious." ”
He grabbed the cheek cover of the fish and scooped it up from the water. He gave the fresh fish to the waiter waiting on the shore, and then turned around and said, "Let the rest go." ”
It's all gone, but there are still seven or eight of them in it, and the biggest fish is almost a meter. But Cheng Qianxun quickly understood, and the fishing nets he brought could see how ecologically protective. According to their ideas, what do they want so many fish for, only take the fish they want to eat, and release all the rest, so that there will always be so many fish.
This can only happen if there are sufficient material conditions, and if it is in a country that is so densely populated that it is terrifying, then fill the stomach first. Fishing nets are as thin as a little finger, or even thinner, anyway, if you can't finish eating, you can still make dried fish, and small fish can be eaten in the sun, so you don't think so much.
"Wait!" The driver called again, pointing to a fish that was the largest, nearly one meter: "This one is slow, you all stand in front, and this one is taken down as a souvenir." ”
He also specifically instructed: "Don't let it out of the water, just stand next to it, you can hold it, but gently." ”
The big fish seemed to know that they would not eat it, and they must have caught and released it many times before, so they cooperated very well in the water, still holding it, holding it by their hands, and posing.
The driver took a video recorder and filmed it: "Okay, we have two days to see if we can catch bigger fish." The highest record is a large fish of 1.8 meters, and the photos are hung in the hotel. ”
Although the fish were released, there was an indescribable sense of happiness when I watched these fish swim leisurely, and the backs of various colors were still exposed to the surface of the water from time to time. The feeling of a person who catches fish with small holes, when the fish catch fewer and smaller, and finally the net is empty, must be a kind of desperation, and the fear of his own imminent demise when he has no food and no source of income.
But these can only be done when the population is small, and when it is impossible to satisfy the stomach, no matter how severe the decree is, it will not stop the hungry belly. Just like those who smuggle across the border, even if they are electrocuted, fallen, drowned, or suffocated, they have to find a way to get out of the miserable environment and go to a new place. But they still don't realize that the population problem will only think that others will have more children, and they will have to give birth too, otherwise their descendants will be gone. A vicious circle is formed, and it is difficult to turn it around.
Is the cleaning correct? Cheng Qianxun sat on the recliner, drinking cocktail juice, but his mind was thinking about this. But she couldn't answer, after all, she was still a human heart, not a god. If it is the gods who govern the earth and have all the power of life and death, then the answer is ... Anyone will make the same choice, whether to keep the planet or the majority of humanity.
