Chapter 12 People around the world welcome the decline of sea levels? (Above)

All in all, not to mention how on the side of the fantasy world, the 100,000 imperial expeditionary force that was ready to go was caught off guard by the monstrous flood and collapsed...... On the real world side of the "door", in the face of the super hole that was poked out at the bottom of Victoria Bay in Hong Kong, and the giant whirlpool that appeared on the sea, Wang Qiu and the relevant departments behind him were already anxious and at a loss. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Fortunately, when the "gate" suddenly appeared under the water of Victoria Bay, it was already the middle of the night. There are very few boats still operating in the waters of Victoria Bay, and the few night boats that have not yet anchored are strong enough to escape the entanglement of underwater whirlpools...... In short, after some emergency evacuation, there was no worst-case scenario in which anyone went missing or the boat was sucked away.

Of course, the complete closure of all terminals on both sides of Victoria Bay is also an inevitable response under this unprecedented special situation.

But that's where the troubles really begin.

-- It is conceivable that in a highly international place like Hong Kong, such a sensational news cannot be concealed. Just a few dozen minutes later, before the relevant departments and the SAR government could issue martial law, groups of reporters had already flocked to the city, setting up long guns and short guns and searchlights on the seashore on both sides of Victoria Bay...... Thanks to being discovered and stopped by the Hong Kong police, otherwise it would probably not be possible to maintain a record of zero casualties on this night.

Then, the next morning, before it was dark, the Gate of Otherworldhood, which appeared at the bottom of Hong Kong's Victoria Bay, quickly overwhelmed the armed confrontation between the Chinese and American fleets in the Spratly Islands, and became the focus of the world's most attention. Major news outlets around the world have dispatched teams of reporters to Hong Kong, and intelligence officers from all over the world stationed in Hong Kong have also heard the news, keeping the Hong Kong branch of the National Security Bureau busy. Although the government departments have already issued a ban on the area where the incident occurred within a three-kilometer radius as a no-fly zone, over the "Gate of the Otherworld" in Victoria Bay, drones with high-definition cameras are still coming one after another, and the snipers of the Hong Kong Garrison cannot finish fighting.

Next, various United Nations agencies also expressed great concern about the "gateway to another world" that appeared in Hong Kong waters, believing that it is very likely to be "the first contact between extraterrestrial civilizations and human beings" (in fact, it is not the first time), which is of great historical significance. As a result, within 48 hours, a large-scale United Nations observer mission was set up to visit Hong Kong for on-the-spot inspections. China's representative to the United Nations, on the other hand, exerted pressure on the Sino-US military confrontation in the Spratly Islands, claiming that until the South China Sea issue is resolved and the atmosphere of war is resolved, it may be difficult to allow the international community to participate in the Hong Kong mutation issue in an attempt to pressure the United States to make concessions, which has triggered a new wave of diplomatic and public opinion wars......

Of course, in this lively and lively drama, Wang Qiu and the others, the "professional traversers" who failed to become a different world, were naturally temporarily reduced to the windowside clan who ate idle meals, and could only sit on the cold bench as spectators, watching all kinds of wonderful and bustling with cold eyes.

However, soon Wang Qiu and the others could no longer continue to be the window side clan - because a lot of trouble had already come to the door.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

A few days after the "door" opened, the Stonecutters Island military base on Hong Kong's Kowloon Peninsula was once again crowded with crowds of protesters.

Among them, in addition to the vast majority of yellow-skinned and black-haired Chinese, there are also many foreigners with all kinds of blonde hair and blue eyes or dark-skinned curly hair, which is really powerful and concentric around the world. They are led by the well-known Greenpeace organization, followed by a host of other well-known and unknown environmental groups around the world, as well as rows of journalists and photographers from major global media outlets.

In front of everyone's eyes, they were all waving all kinds of banners, flags and posters, holding loudspeakers and shouting loudly in the streets outside their doors, some of them playing electric guitars and singing all kinds of environmental protection songs, and some environmental protection organizations even performed some very exciting small programs on the spot.

“…… Cherish every drop of water on the planet! The parched ocean is the hell of life! ”

“…… The ocean is the common wealth of all mankind and cannot be lost because of the misdeeds of some people! ”

“…… Mother Earth is being bled by a throat cut! To protect the planet is to protect the lives of each and every one of us! ”

“…… It's not too late to make amends! Hurry up! Plug the wounds of Mother Earth's blood loss! ”

“…… I hope that the Chinese government can take responsibility as soon as possible! Don't sit back and watch Mother Earth continue to bleed! You are committing a crime! ”

“…… Filthy powerhouses get out with your garbage! Give me back a clean Victoria Bay! ”

……

In addition, there are women's professional protest groups from Eastern Europe who perform sitcoms at the protest site: a naked, oil-painted Ukrainian girl plays the role of "Mother Earth", is repeatedly cut throat by a ferocious "big cap", and then lies in a "pool of blood" concocted by ketchup...... Well, I have to admit it. The size of this girl's breasts and buttocks is large enough, and she has the perfect safe buttocks, which is suitable for motherhood......

Looking at the noisy scene outside the base through the large LCD screen in the conference room, Wang Qiu couldn't help but feel a little numb in his scalp and swollen in his head - these people outside had come to protest that they had opened a door under the water in Victoria Bay, causing the earth's seawater to leak into the other world.

In fact, when this mutation first broke out, Wang Qiu and his family only thought of the impact on Hong Kong's economy and the interference with the coastal routes in Guangdong, and at most they thought of the possibility of bringing a shock to the domestic stock market, bond market, and foreign exchange market, but they did not consider at all such a big problem as "the loss of the earth's water resources" that involves all mankind -- because it feels a bit too fake...... So I'm a little confused right now.

“…… The origin of this topic should have been first proposed by the United Nations Environment Programme, which roughly means that an unknown amount of seawater is now being lost from the earth through this otherworldly gate every minute, which may cause some adverse effects on the ecological environment in the long run. Then, for some reason, it immediately detonated the great enthusiasm of environmental protection organizations around the world, and a bunch of environmental experts, literati celebrities and anchors came out to discuss this topic. Then the more you talk about it, the more mysterious it becomes, and the more you say it, the more outrageous it becomes. In the end, they all said that the earth was like a ball with a hole in it......"

Wang Qiu, who was sitting at the conference table, explained this to everyone as he tapped on the computer keyboard in front of him, opened several news pages, and then mobilized them to the big screen hanging on the wall. These are all media reports from countries around the world about the loss of the earth's water resources caused by the "Hong Kong Watergate scandal", mixed with many political cartoons. Most of the cartoons depict a beautiful young woman with a knife stuck in her neck, bleeding from her throat and drawing the handle of the knife in the shape of the ancient Roman temple, the "Water Gate" in Victoria Bay. There is also an even more elaborate cartoon that depicts the horrors of all the waters being drained: an ancient Roman-style gate stands alone on the dry seabed, while the land has become the Gobi Desert, the earth has become a ball of sand, the forests and grasslands have withered together, and humans and animals are dying of thirst......

“…… What these people are saying is really exaggerated...... It's crazy...... This crossing gate is open in Victoria Bay, not in the Mariana Trench! Even if the world's oceans were interconnected, and even if Victoria Bay was drained, how many meters would the global sea level drop? ”

Ma Tong rolled his eyes and muttered, "...... Haven't all the guys who write these things to make a splash have never studied geography? ”

“…… So at the same time, there are other groups and forces that have expressed opposition and support a little release of water from the earth's oceans. ”

Wang Qiu continued slowly, and then opened several other web pages on the computer, "...... People in a series of tropical island countries such as the Maldives and Tuvalu, as well as residents in coastal areas of some developed countries, have expressed their hope that China will not rush to plug this 'drain' that connects other worlds, so that these unlucky guys who have suffered from rising sea levels for many years can take a breather.

Didn't environmental groups, they say, keep saying that excessive carbon emissions and global warming will lead to melting glaciers in Antarctica, rising sea levels, and eventually flooding large swathes of coastal land? Now there is an otherworldly gate, which can release water into the earth's oceans, lower the rising sea level again, and somewhat alleviate the sequelae of global warming, so that their homes will not be submerged in the sea.

Especially Tuvalu, whose small broken island is particularly low, has only risen a few tens of centimeters in sea level, and it is already about to become a sunken Atlantis. Originally, the Tuvaluans were ready to move to Australia, but they were beaten out by the Australian Immigration Department, and they did not accept their migration at all, seeing that the whole country was about to become boat people or international blind streams...... I heard that after hearing the news of the Watergate incident in Hong Kong, the islanders on the coral islands of the South Pacific even lit bonfires and held a grand celebration with singing and dancing! ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Of course, generally speaking, no matter what it is, as long as there is support, there will definitely be opposition as well.

Therefore, the global Internet forum is also very torn about the quality of the earth's sea level drop caused by the release of water from the cross-dimensional plane of Hong Kong's Alien Gate, and even the residents of coastal areas and island countries have different opinions: those coral island residents who are about to sink underwater are of course as if they have been in a long drought and are happy; But others, who are not so bad, are worried that if global sea levels do fall as a result, won't many of the original port facilities have to be overhauled because of changes in water levels? At least the pier trestle and everything had to be rebuilt from scratch, and there were many waterways that had to be dug and dredged before boats could be opened. A large number of salt and mariculture farms also had to move to new shorelines and start all over again. In this way, it is possible to rely on infrastructure to boost GDP significantly, but who should pay for the huge costs incurred?

For example, the Japanese are polarized around this topic on the Internet, and some people think that once the sea level drops, it is ideal to increase the land area without land reclamation. However, some people are worried that the average depth of Tokyo Bay is only 12 meters, which is shallower than Hong Kong's Victoria Bay, and if the sea level drops significantly, will it be impossible for large ships to sail in again, and the port of Yokohama will be scrapped from then on. That would be a tragedy...... In addition, many reefs in the Seto Inland Sea, which were originally hidden underwater, will be exposed, and the entire sea shipping of Japan will be disrupted......

The more tragic Egyptians have been discussing on the Internet, once the global sea level drops, will the Suez Canal be dug in vain and must be deepened in its entirety? This is a very headache and a huge project that burns a lot of money...... The Panamanians, of course, who are bothered by similar problems...... Inland dwellers, while slow to react to rising sea levels, are also concerned that the loss of the ocean will lead to a dry climate and desertification – after all, since Hong Kong's otherworldly door was opened, so much water has been permanently lost from the Earth's biosphere, and there is no way to make up for it......

All in all, around the above topics, there are many opinions on the global Internet forum, countless contradictory opinions and inferences fighting with each other, mixed with various regional attacks, racial discrimination, ideological confrontation, smearing and nonsense, so that Wang Qiu and several of the parties are dazzled and dizzy, and they really don't know how to comment...... In the end, I had to ask Political Commissar Guo, what is the central government's view on this matter?

“…… What is the view of the central government? Hey! Regarding this matter, the central government's opinion is that these guys are all talking nonsense! It's all unfounded! ”

Political Commissar Guo reached out and pulled out the cigar in his mouth, spit out a smoke ring, and then pursed his lips with disdain on his face, and said, "...... This is simply a false proposition hyped up by the media! The guys who think that with such a small hole, they can affect the level of the world's oceans are physics idiots and mathematical fools! You only have to use the formula to calculate a little bit to see how unscientific this idea is......" (To be continued.) )
