Chapter 346: Floating Garbage Mine

The Cordillera Island Chain?

Shen Feng raised his eyebrows, he had heard of the Cordillera Mountains.

The entire Cordillera mountain system runs through North and South America, and is arguably the longest mountain system in the world.

It appears that the Cordillera mountain system has completely sunk into the sea, and only some of the peaks are still exposed, forming an archipelago.

The Cordillera is basically the highest geological structure in North and South America, with an average altitude of more than 2,000 meters and the highest peak at more than 4,000 meters.

The peak of this mountain system can be exposed to the sea, and Shen Feng has roughly figured out the extent of sea level rise.

It's about two thousand meters.

In other words, the sea water was more than 2,000 meters deep out of thin air, and basically the whole of America was completely submerged.

San Francisco, where he used to be, was more than 50 meters above sea level, but now it is at the bottom of the sea at a depth of two or three thousand meters.

This is terrifying......

The rise in sea level far exceeded Shen Feng's previous predictions, and he originally thought that the rise of tens of meters or hundreds of meters deep was already considered the limit, but now it seems that it is far more than that.

Is it just that there is so much water on Earth?

Where does this water come from?

He instantly thought of a line from the pirates' funeral songs:

"The ship that carries the world breaks through the hole"

Could it be that all this extra water comes from the space wormhole at the bottom of the sea?

It's just that if that's the case, it doesn't make sense.

After all, there is no sign of water in the galaxy where the Shield constellation UY is located that I saw through the space wormhole before.

Then he asked the old sailor again:

"What happened to the space wormhole at the bottom of the sea? Where are those exotic behemoths? Cruising under the sea? ”

The old sailor was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't understand what Shen Feng meant, and then suddenly showed a look of sudden realization and said:

"You mean the entrance to hell and those worldbeasts? No one knows where the entrance to hell is, but there has been such a legend, as for the world beast ......"

The old sailor smiled bitterly, and then said:

"If we had ever seen the World Beast, we would have been eaten long ago...... It is said that the World Beast destroyed the once powerful ancient world, leaving the world immersed in water, and if humans encounter the World Beast, they will be taken to the entrance of hell and never return. ”

Shen Feng nodded slightly, somewhat surprised by this answer.

After all, humans are too small compared to those super-giant exotic beasts like mountains.

Throughout, perhaps those exotic beasts were just trying to escape from the imminent destruction of the super-red giant Shield UY, and they didn't care about the survival of human civilization at all.

What does it have to do with you when I destroy you?

The name of this beast in this world is apt.

After all, in terms of size, a giant beast is simply a small world

The old sailor looked at the new captain in front of him at this time, and his heart was very puzzled.

The news about the entrance to hell and the beasts of the world should be common knowledge that everyone knows, and this new captain seems to be very smart, but he doesn't even know these things.

And he appeared out of nowhere, and he also mastered a powerful firearm, and he floated on the sea with only an inflatable raft that could accommodate one person, and the clothes he wore were far more elaborate than ordinary people, as if they had come out of thin air, which was really too strange.

Thinking of this, the old sailor said cautiously:

"Captain, I take the liberty of asking, you ...... Are you from the Sea Clan? ”

Shen Feng was stunned for a moment and asked:

"What is the Sea Clan?"

Could it be that the humans of this world have also developed genetic mutations, and a human race has emerged that can survive on the bottom of the sea?

How many years has it been?

The old sailor went on to explain:

"The sea tribe is a race that has the magic called 'technology' and can build cities under the sea and survive in it...... This is extraordinary, so I mistakenly thought you were a sea tribe, please forgive me. ”

Shen Feng nodded slightly.

When the whole world is flooded, the final struggling human civilization will inevitably do its best to compose magnificent tragic songs.

Choosing the only remaining land to survive or drifting at sea is one way, and the other way is to live directly on the bottom of the sea.

Of course, this requires a very high level of technology, and the two skills of diving and anti-stress on the crazy tech tree, I don't know who finally succeeded.

It's just that in front of those invincible world beasts, no matter what kind of survival method they have, human beings have just become a group of ants that are barely surviving.

"How long has it been since the Great Flood broke out?" Shen Feng asked again.

The old sailor cautiously corrected:

"Captain, it's not a big flood, it's a big tsunami...... Since I was born, I have been adrift at sea, listening to legends about the great tsunami and ancient human civilization, but I have never really understood the time...... However, there should be someone at the floating island market who knows the exact time, but there are also legendary distant islands. ”

Shen Feng nodded and said:

"Head to the nearest floating island market now."

As soon as the new captain gave the order, the tattered-looking but sturdy little pirate ship immediately hoisted its sails, turned its bow, and rode the wind and waves in a northeasterly direction.

Shen Feng put the quantum backpack at his feet, holding the rifle in one hand and the arm of the chair with the other, looking at the sea around him.

These pirate sailors apparently spent the years adrift at sea, and although the boat was rocking all the time, they were able to handle the sails and oars with great skill.

It's a good bunch of sailors.

As he moved forward, Shen Feng chatted with the old sailor.

By this time he had learned that the old sailor's nickname was "Shoelace Bill", and that he was an old man in his forties who had been on the pirate ship called the Swordfish for seven or eight years.

Bill himself was born on a pirate ship, and his parents were both pirates, but the ship sank in a storm when he was a teenager, and after that he changed ships six or seven times, he was an old pirate.

As for the so-called pirate ship, in fact, raiding houses and houses is just a side business, and more of the main business is fishing and fishing, as well as searching for the wreckage of ancient civilizations floating on the sea and selling them.

In Bill's words, humans are like water cockroaches, even if they can only float on the sea, they can survive.

After so many post-apocalyptic tasks, Shen Feng was deeply convinced of this sentence.

According to Old Bill, they were about a day's way from the nearest floating island market, but there was not much food on the boat, and they had to find time to catch some fish these days.

Soon it was evening, and the sun in the distance was slowly setting like a round egg yolk.

Shen Feng put his inflatable raft in the center of the pirate ship at this time, reclining on it, looking at the clouds in the sky with the sea breeze, feeling indescribably comfortable.

At this moment, a violent sound of water suddenly came from the side.

In the next moment, I saw a dolphin jump up from one side of the pirate ship, draw an arc in mid-air, skim over Shen Feng, and fell into the sea on the other side of the pirate ship.

Immediately after that, white waves suddenly appeared on the surrounding sea, and thousands of dolphins jumped out of the sea, like silver shuttles, and were gilded with a layer of golden-red light by the setting sun, accompanying the pirate ship to leap forward!

The dolphins are singing as if they were a flock of birds.

At this time, a large flock of seagulls and other birds really appeared in the air, and they were rapidly circling.

Seeing this scene, Old Bill shouted excitedly:

"It's dolphins hunting! Fish! We're not far from the fish! O Savior! That's a floating ore belt! Right ahead! ”

Shen Feng sat up and looked ahead, and saw that on the sea several kilometers away, there was an endless area of floating debris that did not know how large.

These floating objects are all man-made plastic waste!
