Chapter 184: The Ocean

Since the Earth entered the Great Yan Era, after more than 4,000 years of recuperation, the absolute area of the home planet, in the primeval period, the destroyed and polluted ocean, has now regained its vitality and wildness.

Between the blue sea and blue sky, the lonely sail is far away, when human beings raise their eyes to look out, the end that cannot be seen by the naked eye is the endless vastness and infinite mystery of the sea. Looking up at the starry sky, you may not feel the vastness of the universe, but when you look at the sea, you can definitely feel the magnificence of the sea. Perhaps the former is too far away, so illusory that it is as unattainable as a dream. The latter, on the other hand, is almost intuitively within reach.

But what is within reach is not necessarily what people know best. On the contrary, even in the primeval period when scientific and technological civilization was at its peak, human exploration of the ocean was limited to most areas, and some of the deeper and more hidden places were still unknown to human beings.

And with the passage of time, after mankind entered a new era, more than 4,000 years passed in a flash. Many ancient humans once knew the secrets of the Dao, but now they have become history, unsolved cases, and people are ignorant. And many of the secrets they once knew about were still unsolved mysteries, and they became even more mysterious!

Times are changing, human beings are evolving, and even the most solid continental plates have been fractured and reorganized, which has changed the continental pattern dramatically.

It is clear that humans have never really understood the oceans, just as humans have never really understood themselves. Whether it is the ancient human beings, or the present us. That's all the same.

Although the primeval human beings have the same root and origin as the current human beings, the people of today know very little about the past and the human beings at that time. From the mysterious cities deep underground, the ancient ruins in the far reaches of space, it can be said that every time we try to know more about them, more mysteries will emerge, as if there is a pair of mysterious hands in the dark, silently and invisibly separating us. We will never be able to truly understand each other and the past.

But even so. The development of human beings in the Great Yan Period did not start from scratch, and it can even be said that the starting point was very high, standing on the shoulders of predecessors, and developing rapidly. Otherwise, it would not have been possible in just tens of thousands of years. Mankind has been poor and white from the beginning. It has directly entered the era of great astronautics, which represents a super technological civilization. From this point of view, the legacy of the predecessors is a great achievement.

Speaking of which. I have to mention the biggest mystery that plagues mankind today, and it is also the unsolved mystery that mankind is most eager to solve. It's not the origin of the universe, it's not the mystery of the gods, it's the reason why the Great Yan Era came?

It can be said that it was the era of the Great Yan that created us, and it was also this era that created the current earth, as well as all things on the earth, and even its arrival changed a part of the entire universe.

In the Archean chronology, when did this era begin and when will it end? Or will this era end? If it ends, will we still exist? Will they all be extinct like the primeval humans?

These mysteries, like maggots on the tarsal bones, are firmly engraved in the hearts of every generation of human beings in the Great Yan Period, and they will not go away. Perhaps, such a big mystery will always be just a mystery! There will never be a day to solve, because such a mystery is too big and too difficult! It's so big that there's no boundary, and it's so hard that countless of the smartest people can't join forces and can't get started.

Human exploration of the ocean began in the early days of the Great Yan Period, although the level of productivity at that time was not very developed, which greatly limited the pace of human exploration of this new era homeland, but human beings still opened up a new ocean route in the Great Yan Period in 2000.

But the ocean is no longer as calm and cowardly as it was in the primeval period! The squeezed continents have freed up a huge space for the oceans to survive and develop, and without the continents blocking them, the newly brewed super hurricanes in the contiguous oceans can sweep across the entire earth at speeds of 200 to 300 kilometers per hour in 5 to 8 days, and that's just near the equator.

In the northern part of the Southern Regions, the 70-meter-long sea monsters were discovered, the northern regions were cracked in the sea, mysterious monsters were found to attack merchant ships, Angorima submarine canyons, mysterious underwater ancient cities were discovered, and many other reports and rumors were also like snowflakes.

There are many other irrefutable facts that people have seen with their own eyes, and they all show them to people. The sea no longer seems to be what it once was, and in the process of recovering its wildness, it is no longer at the mercy of others! Or maybe the sea is still the same sea, maybe it's just restored to its original appearance!

What worries human beings even more is that because of the arrival of the Great Yan Period, the two intelligent populations of humans and biochemical beasts jointly govern the earth. As humans explore the ocean, will the cyborg race also be indifferent? Obviously, it can't be! You must know that the slightly more advanced biochemical beasts have wisdom no less than that of ordinary humans. Even more advanced, its intelligence is even comparable to that of human developers, and it belongs to the ranks of the wise men worthy of the name. After being squeezed into the living space of humans on the continent, won't they go to the ocean to find a way out?

Obviously, it can't be. It is important to know that compared with humans, biochemical beasts have a stronger ability to survive and adapt. Some of these races, whose rate of reproduction is so fast, that if it were not for some natural predators and the strong restrictions of human beings, it is likely that they would be flooded in a very short time. And the word "beast" in the eyes of the biochemical beast also silently shows the attributes of this race to humans. There are also some cyborg beasts that are naturally adapted to survive in the water. There are even some biochemical beasts that are born aquatic species. Although there are not many such species, it also makes people extremely suspicious. Is the cyborg beast just the beast of the primeval period and evolved?

But in any case, the dangers of the ocean are self-evident. It is not uncommon for ships to sink every year because of such and such accidents. In the laws of the home planet, there is no explicit provision on the ownership of these shipwrecks. Therefore, this has also led to different methods used in dealing with such shipwrecks in different places, and even very different.

In addition to the wrecks that have not been discovered and cannot be salvaged, some localities stipulate that all the finances of wrecks that can be salvaged from the water shall be owned by the local local government. In some places, it is stipulated that after the wreck is recovered, the items on it must be returned to the original owner. If the owner of the original item cannot be found, it will be owned by the local government. So, if you heard, a poor man who was originally poor and white, suddenly one day, inherited a large amount of property and became a huge rich. Please don't be surprised, maybe the ancestors of the family were originally a wealthy family? The wealth of the sunken ships he inherited is only the shadow of his ancestors!

In other places, such as this Baltic Sea, the salvaged shipwrecks are directly owned by the discoverers and salvagers. In other words, the shipwreck is there, and the wealth inside does not belong to anyone, and whoever catches it will be anyone's. More importantly, in this era, the average shipwreck, and the items on it, are very valuable. (To be continued.) )
