Homo sapiens

The South Ceylon Ocean is not too far away from the seal station in Antarctica.

There are not many islands here, just a few small archipelagos.

For example, the famous Kerguelen Islands, where the headquarters of the South Ceylon Ocean Branch of Homo sapiens is located.

The South West Lanyang Branch is considered to be one of the Homo sapiens companies with a relatively high latitude. Its southern part is almost at about 49 degrees south latitude.

Because it is located deep in the ocean, there is no shelter in all directions, so the climate is similar to the polar climate, except that the summer is relatively warm.

The reason why the South Ceylon Ocean Branch moved its headquarters to the inhospitable Kerguelen Islands is very simple, because the strategic location here is very critical.

The Kerguelen Islands are located at the junction of the Ceylon Ocean and the Southern Ocean, and are right in the center between Oceania, Antarctica, and Africa. Their location is very critical.

Another reason is that the Kerguelen Islands themselves are actually the top of a submarine mountain range called the Kerguelen Ridge.

At this time, the 20685 Security Group of the Kerguelen Islands was operating three air and space patrol ships to conduct reconnaissance over the surrounding waters.

There are various detection equipment on the patrol ship.

Captain Simon is looking at the simulated holographic map integrated with magnetic field radar data. Because it is a vast sea, the magnetic field here is relatively monotonous.

Suddenly Simon's eyes froze, and he stretched out his hand to enlarge the holographic map of one of the areas. As the map was enlarged, the situation in the area became clear.

I saw that in this sea area of ​​​​2,500 square kilometers, there is no longer a vast sea, but more than a dozen highly prominent mountain peaks.

Of course, these mountaintops are in the sea at this time. They are actually submarine reefs.

But Simon was staring at one of the reefs: "Wu, come here."

Wu Kang, who was in charge of hydrological surveying and mapping, put down his work and walked over.

"Captain, what's the matter?"

"Look at this reef." Simon pointed to the reef he found.

Wu Kang glanced at it: "Reef No. 28702? Huh?"

Obviously Wu Kang also discovered the problem. He quickly continued to zoom in on the holographic map, picked up his tablet, and entered another detection command.

In less than two minutes, the holographic map was refreshed, but there was still no change.

"It is actually 1.3 meters above the sea surface and covers an area of ​​2.7 square kilometers. This place is now a small island."

Simon asked: "Could it be the low tide?"

Wu Kang shook his head: "No, it is during high tide, and there is still 1.3 meters above the sea. This shows that this reef now has land that has been exposed to the sea for a long time. This can be called an island."

Simon looked at the location of this reef, which is about 267 kilometers away from the Kerguelen Islands.

To the southeast is Heard Island, controlled by the Kangaroo Kingdom, also 261 kilometers away.

Simon made a quick decision: "Adjust the flight direction and head towards the island at full speed."

"yes."

Three aerospace patrol ships quickly flew over the island that had just emerged from the sea.

As the airship arrived over the island, the magnetic field radar data became more refined.

This island runs northwest-southeast, with a central height of about 1.3 meters, and is surrounded by rocks less than 1 meter tall.

Due to being invaded by waves all year round, the surface of the island is rugged and there are still many underwater creatures clinging to the rocks, such as corals and seaweed.

One of the patrol ships landed in the center of the island.

Simon and Wu Kang landed on the island.

"The area is okay, but it's too narrow and long. The width is only about 130 to 200 meters." Wu Kang made a visual inspection.

Simon squatted next to a coral: "Logically speaking, this reef should not be exposed to the sea."

"It may have something to do with the recent climate change." Wu Kang guessed, grabbing a handful of dry seaweed.

Simon seemed to have heard about this: "Climate sudden change? Is it a matter of the North Atlantic warm current stopping?"

"Well, I didn't expect the sea to recede so quickly. It seems that the climate is changing much faster than we thought."

According to the situation of this reef, in the past, only a small part of the land was exposed during low tide. Now, during high tide, so much land is exposed to the sea. Obviously, the sea level has dropped a lot.

In fact, the weather services company affiliated with Homo sapiens has detected falling sea levels around the world.

With the rapid expansion of the ice caps in the North and South Poles this year, sea levels in the world's five oceans have dropped by an average of 1.3 to 1.5 meters.

This resulted in part of the reef emerging from the sea.

For example, in the Pacific Ocean, the Homo sapiens company has used advanced monitoring methods to take the lead in erecting monuments on these islands and reefs, and even established ocean observation stations on some relatively large new islands.

The other four major forces have also responded one after another. They are also strengthening the detection of their surrounding waters and will try to control these new islands.

Of course, they were not worried about the few square kilometers of island land, but were worried about the Homo sapiens company causing trouble.

And new islands are constantly emerging from the sea, which is actually not a good thing.

Because this indicates the fact that the sea has receded.

Even if they desperately use coal and fuel vehicles to produce carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, there is no way to prevent climate change.

Many people think this is caused by the greening of the Sahara Desert.

In fact, this is a bit of a generalization.

Because the North Atlantic warm current is the key, and this ocean current system is the key to the stability of the north and south polar ice sheets.

The carbon sequestered by the Sahara Desert greening project accounts for only a small fraction of the carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere.

The real culprit behind the interruption of the North Atlantic Warm Current is humans themselves, who use fossil fuels on a large scale and emit large amounts of greenhouse gases.

These greenhouse gases will increase the probability of extreme weather and lead to abnormalities in ocean current systems.

If the earth is regarded as a living body, the sudden change in the ocean current system is actually the earth feeling that it is too hot and now needs to strengthen heat dissipation.

How to dissipate heat?

It's very simple. Just stop the North Atlantic warm current. This will cause the ice caps at the North and South Poles to expand rapidly. A large part of the solar radiation energy will be reflected by the ice caps, resulting in a decrease in the total amount of solar energy received by the earth, which will trigger global cooling. .

Therefore, the Sahara Desert greening project of the Homo sapiens company is not the culprit for the intensification of this ice age.

In fact, this era of human life happens to be in the ice age.

It is only because of the advancement of technology and the emission of large amounts of carbon dioxide that many people think it is very warm now.

However, this kind of attempt to fight the climate can easily backfire before human civilization reaches Level 1.

Now is a living example.

The earth's backlash is coming.

Increasing emissions of carbon dioxide and greenhouse gases now will not change the expansion of the ice caps at the North and South Poles. Instead, they may intensify global cooling and trigger more extreme weather.

Lucia, Maple Leaf Country, and Northern Europe, which have the highest latitude, are already in a hurry at this time.

In the past, the freeze period for more than half a year was very frustrating.

Now that the freeze period continues to be extended, it is simply fatal.

Especially in the Europa region and North America, these two places are not blocked by mountains and plateaus. Once the ice age comes, more than half of the area will be covered by glaciers.

In order to deal with this climate crisis, the four major forces had to hold an emergency meeting.
