    Extra 10. The only one in the world "Future Water World" is a relatively antique science fiction film, shot at the end of the 20th century.  The background is that the earth in the future has somehow become a vast ocean, and all the land has been submerged by the sea. The few surviving humans can only rely on the remains of the old era and make a living by fishing on the sea.  Among them, there are settlers who use broken boats, floating piers, and metal boxes to build floating island towns and cities, which are equivalent to the farming people in the maritime age; there are "sea walkers" who drive small boats to travel alone, which is equivalent to the nomadic people in the maritime age; in addition, there are  A pirate gang that does not engage in production but lives by plundering and killing.  Although they have long forgotten what the land looks like, among the remaining humans in the water world, there are still legends about there being a land somewhere.  Therefore, the protagonist of the movie, Sea Walker, a male mutant with gills, is involved in the journey to find the land due to a series of mistakes.  Through various adventures and several fights with ferocious pirates, he finally found the latitude and longitude coordinates of six places from the Japanese tattoo on the back of a little girl, so he took his girlfriend and companions to the island in a balloon.  Everest, a new life has begun However, due to the intrusion of Wang Qiu and others, their balloon has just been blown up by an anti-aircraft gun, and the protagonist and his party can only go to heaven to start a new life.  However, for Wang Qiu, who is suspected of traveling to "Future Water World", all these plots are not important. The real key is that according to the background setting of the movie, the island under his feet covers an area of ??only more than fifty square kilometers.  I'm afraid it's the only place in the world!  "Mount Everest has become a small mountain with an altitude of only 400 meters. Is there any other land in the world where water can be exposed?"  So, in a sense, from the moment Wang Qiu traveled through time, it was equivalent to successfully conquering the world!  "Oh, I suddenly became the master of the world without any preparation, and suddenly I feel completely lost in motivation. How can I break it?"  However, it seems a bit too early to draw conclusions now. We should try to confirm it first ¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù  ¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù A few hours later, something shot up from the roof of the villa completely confirmed Wang Qiu¡¯s above guess.  In the photos sent back by the satellite, the earth has completely turned into a big blue water ball, the outlines of all continents have disappeared, and the snow-white ice caps at the North and South Poles have also melted.  The only solid land in the world that can be exposed to the sea is the island formerly known as Mount Everest at Wang Qiu's feet. It is located at 27 degrees 59' north latitude and 86 degrees 55' east longitude.  A tiny piece of land. ??????????????????????????????????????????? At most, there are a few more reefs that are submerged under water at high tide and exposed to the water at low tide.  Although from a scientific point of view, even if all the ice and snow at the earth's poles melt, the sea level cannot rise as much as eight thousand meters. A rise of tens of meters is already the limit But this is a movie world, and even the earth is  You must obey the screenwriter¡¯s settings.  Therefore, the land disappeared from the earth, and the once colorful earth turned into a real blue star.  Human civilization, which had not yet had time to enter the space age, was naturally completely buried under the deep ocean, leaving only a few residues floating on the sea.  Of course, although this uninhabited island is the only place in the world, humans have not completely disappeared.  On the ocean, which is far vaster than before, there are still a dozen floating island towns of various sizes scattered around, and hundreds of "Sea Walker" boats wandering around.  But all floating island towns are located in the equatorial windless zone between the fifth degree north and south of the equator, at least two to three thousand kilometers away from Wang Qiu.  Even the "Sea Walkers" who operate single gangs in small boats and the pirates who make a living by robbing them basically only operate within the equatorial windless zone.  The reason for this is that although the vast ocean is boundless, not every body of water is suitable for living.  After losing the land, the floating cities and ships of the remaining humans had no safe haven. However, these things made of drifting garbage and scrap copper and iron were far less resistant to wind and waves than the regular sea ships of the old era.  Once you encounter strong winds and waves such as a typhoon, death is inevitable.  Therefore, they dare not leave the equatorial windless zone, which is a quiet sea area where the waves are always calm, the sea conditions are pleasant, and there are basically no storms.  In addition, the equatorial region has high temperatures all year round with extremely small temperature differences, which is obviously more suitable for survival for the survivors of the water world who are extremely short of warm clothing and heating fuel.  What's even better is that the precipitation in the equatorial windless zone is extremely abundant and evenly distributed, rarely without rain for a long time, providing sea dwellers with stable and sufficient natural fresh water, allowing them to grow a small amount of fruits and vegetables on the floating islands to replenish the human body.  Required vitamins and other nutrients.  And once they leave the equatorial windless zone, they?They must face terrifying storms and waves, the overwhelming cold, and the thirst caused by the long-term lack of rainfall. Every danger is so fatal It's no wonder they stay in the equatorial windless zone.  The relatively comfortable cradle of the sea has made it impossible to find the last land of Mount Everest.  But even so, these people at sea in the equatorial windless zone are just hanging on, barely delaying their destruction.  Because humans themselves are terrestrial creatures that are not adapted to the ocean.  What's even worse is that the level of civilization of these survivors after the catastrophe has greatly regressed. The steel ships and floating islands that are their last living spaces are just the legacy of the old era. The remaining human groups themselves have not mined from the seabed.  Ore, smelting metal, and the ability to create floating objects, they are just struggling to survive on the remains of the civilization of the land.  However, as time goes by, these heritages of the old era will eventually rust and age, and then disintegrate and sink one by one.  Where will these humans go to live?  Could it be possible to evolve or mutate into a mermaid in a few generations, and then jump into the sea to build a dragon palace?  Even the male protagonist of "Future Water World", the mutant with gills behind his ears that can breathe underwater, cannot actually live in the sea like a whale. Instead, he must drink fresh water and eat fruits and vegetables to supplement vitamins.  Once the ship is completely lost, there is also no way to survive.  Not to mention that this last small group of humans drifting on the sea are still fighting in melee, destroying the little living space they have left.  Regarding the bleak future of mankind at sea, it is also reflected in the plot of "Future Water World".  The villainous pirate leader once lamented that in the past, floating cities for robbery could be found on any level, but now it is difficult to find decent targets.  And his minions replied that a considerable part of the floating city was sunk by the boss's order. I don't know what happened to the remaining floating cities that disappeared It can be seen from this that in a few decades at most, the city will be destroyed.  Within a hundred years, these last remaining ashes of human civilization will inevitably be gradually swallowed up by the sea.  However, Wang Qiu, who lacked sympathy, thought first of all, not how to conquer or save the world that was heading towards destruction, but another more realistic problem, "In this case, Sister Shizuka, Sister Lixiang, what else can you do?"  With Hansel and Gretel, we must organize a move as soon as possible! This island is not in the equatorial windless zone. It is not safe to live directly on the beach. God knows when the next typhoon will come!  I said, dear Xiao Qiuqiu, before we move to avoid the typhoon, should we give this island a name?" Marikawa Shizuka suddenly raised her hand with a smile and suggested, "according to the Bible,  Human beings first lived in the Garden of Eden. And the island under our feet is the only place in the world. In this case, how about naming it Eden Island?  Does it sound like it has some kind of meaning?  Wang Qiu was thinking so, and at the same time he raised his head, and immediately saw the clear stream, green vegetation and gorgeous flowers outside the window.  Yes, compared to those strange, rusty, dirty and dilapidated steel floating cities in satellite photos, this beautiful island like a garden is indeed the only Garden of Eden in the apocalypse.  "Well, Sister Shizuka has a good idea, let's call it Eden Island!"
