Chapter 1813 Irresponsible (Please give me a monthly ticket!!! Please subscribe!!! Please recommend!!!)
Black Manta's idea is simple: use the heat created by the mountain copper to melt the Antarctic and release the undead of the former Kingdom of Kodax!
When the Kingdom of Kodax was destroyed, their king summoned all the magicians and used the energy of mountain copper to alienate the people of the entire kingdom! This is a disguised form of evolution, just like the last emperor of the Atlantis Empire saving his people.
He used mountain copper to transform his people into something that was neither human nor ghost, just like the monsters in Cthulhu novels, which were deformed and very scary. But their fighting power was unquestionable. It took all the countries to defeat them together and all the wizards at that time to freeze them all.
It was also this battle that caused the magic research of Atlantis to regress rapidly. After all, there were not many mages back then, and then there was such a war, which caused the death of many mages. Those mages back then did not have a complete knowledge inheritance system like the scholars today.
The mages of the past still inherited their skills through the traditional master-apprentice system, but after many mages died, the inheritance was cut off. In addition, the overall social atmosphere was somewhat repulsive to mages, so now mages are becoming increasingly rare, and only a very small number of people still have the ability to cast spells.
Besides, modern Atlantis doesn't really need wizards. After all, what magic can do, technology can also do.
This is also the reason why the weapons of the Kingdom of Kodax are so powerful in modern Atlantis. After all, they are on a completely different track. When the weapons of Atlantis were being designed and developed, they never thought that they would one day encounter this kind of magical weapons and equipment.
As a result, the versions were inconsistent and the response was not timely. This led to a one-sided situation. However, Black Manta did not see this side, he just simply thought that the ancient weapons were really awesome!
Once Black Manta unleashes the seal of the Kodax Kingdom, he will not only be able to obtain a large number of Kodax Kingdom citizens as soldiers, but also be able to use countless Kodax weapons and equipment. In this way, he can truly rule the world!
The key is that Antarctica is melting.
This will have a huge impact on the whole world.
In fact, there are many related studies in the world right now! Antarctica is located at the southernmost tip of the earth, with a total area of 1405 million square kilometers and a total area of 1241 million square kilometers of ice and snow. Its total area accounts for 9.4% of the world's continental area. In recent years, due to excessive carbon dioxide emissions, global warming has become increasingly serious. At present, not only the ecological environment of the earth has been destroyed, but the Antarctic glaciers are also constantly collapsing, and then the glaciers begin to melt into sea water.
But recently, humans at least don't have to worry about the melting of Antarctic glaciers, because Kai has an Ice Box in his hand. This thing is the artifact of the Frost Giants, which is very powerful. The Frost Giants planned to use this artifact to drag the entire earth into the Ice Age and make the entire earth a habitable environment for them. Later, Odin led Asgard to fight a battle with the Frost Giants in the Nordic part of the earth, defeated them, and took away the Ice Box. By the way, he also took away the only son of the Frost Giant King Laufey, Loki, and adopted him as his son.
The last time Odin fell into a deep sleep, Loki caused trouble. Kai caught Loki, and Odin, who was worried about his youngest son, negotiated with Kai. In the end, Kai failed to kill Loki, so Kai got angry and ran to the treasury of Asgard and took away their family's ice box.
Anyway, the one who was in charge of Asgard at that time was Thor, the god of thunder. This simple-minded guy didn't feel sorry for selling his father's land to his own son. Seeing that Kai liked it, he just gave it to Kai without thinking that this artifact had any value... Even Odin didn't know about it at the time, and he was probably too embarrassed to ask Kai to return it afterwards, so the matter was left unresolved.
After that, Cobra built an artificial sun on the Arctic glacier, which almost melted the entire Arctic and almost killed the Russians. In order to save the disaster caused by these idiots, Kai used the Ice Box to freeze the Arctic. Incidentally, it also lowered the global climate by a few tenths of a degree.
Don't underestimate these few tenths of a degree.
In fact, since 1880, the global average temperature has only risen by 200 degree in more than 1 years. The previous record was in 2016. According to global temperature data collected by NASA, the global surface temperature in 2016 was about 1880°C higher than in 1.2. It should be noted that an increase of 1°C or 2°C refers to the global average temperature. The situation is very different for each region or country. A global average temperature increase of 2°C means an increase of 3.4°C in the Mediterranean region and 6°C in the Arctic region.
The Ice Box can lower the temperature by a few tenths of a degree, which can be said to be a miracle.
Since Kai had already been to the North Pole, he didn't mind spending some time there, so he made a special trip to the South Pole.
At first, Kai actually forgot about this matter, but then the matter of King Ghidorah came along, and this thing also had a great impact on the climate in Antarctica, so Kai also went there. As a result, this year's climate is the most normal in recent years. There is no high temperature, but it is generally a bit cold in winter. But it is not a big problem. Anyway, the polar bears in the Arctic and the penguins in the Antarctic all said it was great.
Back to Antarctica, people have made predictions before.
What will happen if the temperature in Antarctica rises and the glaciers melt? The first thing is that the sea level will rise. Let's do some calculations first. When the glaciers melt, the sea level will definitely rise a lot. The Antarctic glaciers are very large, and they may rise by at least 60 to 70 meters. What impact will this height have on the continent? The areas with lower land altitudes in the world will be submerged by sea water first, such as the lowest areas in Europe, which are more likely to be submerged. Areas with high altitudes may be the "survivors" of natural disasters. In addition, island countries like New Zealand and Japan will also sink, and the earth's map will be unified again and its appearance will change drastically.
The second is the great shortage of fresh water resources. Although there is a lot of water on the earth, fresh water only accounts for 3%, and 97% is covered by salty and bitter sea water. So far, fresh water resources are still decreasing, and it needs to meet the drinking needs of nearly 200 countries in the world. In addition, the Antarctic glaciers store 10% of the earth's fresh water. If it melts into sea water, this fresh water will be lost and cannot be drunk. This will have a great impact on human fresh water drinking, after all, people cannot drink sea water.
In other words, the melting of Antarctic glaciers will have a huge impact on the supply of fresh water for humans. It can be said that the Antarctic glaciers are a guarantee for providing fresh water for humans.
Then there are the changes in ocean currents and climate. If the Antarctic melts completely, wouldn't the area of the Earth's oceans expand again? It will become an icy ocean. Then some ocean currents in the South Pacific will also change direction, causing systematic movement of ocean currents. The movement of ocean currents directly affects climate change, and the global precipitation system will be disrupted. Some usually dry places may experience heavy rains, and global temperatures will rise sharply.
The Antarctic region is home to many unique ecosystems, including many rare species such as penguins and seals. However, the melting of the ice has led to habitat loss and rising temperatures, which have threatened these ecosystems and challenged the survival of species. The imbalance of the ecosystem will affect the entire food chain and even threaten the stability of the marine ecosystem. In addition, the Antarctic ice has the ability to reflect solar radiation, which is called a "reflector" and can maintain the balance of the earth's climate. However, as the ice melts, more sea water and land are exposed on the surface, resulting in more solar radiation being absorbed, accelerating global temperature increases. This climate change will trigger more frequent extreme weather events, such as heavy rains, droughts, hurricanes, etc., posing a serious threat to human society.
In any case, this blow can defeat most countries.
In Asia, Bangladesh, with a population of 1.6 million, will almost entirely sink into the sea; most of the current coastal areas of India will disappear; and the floods raging in the Mekong River basin in Southeast Asia will turn the Cardamom Mountains in southwestern Cambodia, which stretches for hundreds of kilometers and has an average altitude of more than 1000 meters, into just an "isolated island."
In South America, the Amazon basin in the north and the Paraguay River basin in the south will become new estuaries to the Atlantic Ocean; the Argentine capital Buenos Aires, the coastal areas of Uruguay, and most of Paraguay will be completely destroyed; the mountainous areas along the Caribbean coast and Central America will survive.
In Europe, London, England? This city will only remain a historical memory; Italy's beautiful Venice will be "reclaimed" by the Adriatic Sea; in this great disaster drama "script" thousands of years later, the Netherlands will be swallowed by the sea and most of Denmark will disappear; at the same time, the surging waters of the eastern Mediterranean will overflow the Turkish Straits, greatly expanding the areas of the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea.
Africa is in the best condition. Unlike other continents, its coastline seems to be able to "survive"; however, the sharp rise in the earth's surface temperature makes Africa even less suitable for human habitation; the backflow of seawater from the southern Mediterranean will submerge the two historic cities of Alexandria and Cairo in Egypt.
After that, Venice and Florida in the United States will also be submerged. Large areas of plains will be submerged and become part of the ocean, and some of the highlands will become islands and be separated.
From this point of view, if this happens, most countries in the world will be doomed! At that time, Black Manta can sweep the world with his army of death!
But for now, in addition to mountain copper, a little bit of something else is needed as an inducement.
It was the blood of the Atlantis royal family that broke the seal.
Back then, it was the King of Atlantis who sealed the entire Kingdom of Kodax, so to break the seal, it was necessary to use the blood of the Atlantis royal family. At first, Black Manta was going to use the blood of Orm.
However, Black Manta later gave up the idea. Because if he sacrificed Orm, it would undoubtedly make Black Manta lose an excellent trump card. After all, Orm was familiar with everything about Atlantis, and he was undoubtedly an excellent trump card to deal with Atlantis. This raid on Atlantis was the best proof.
Don't forget that the biggest obstacle to his melting of the glaciers this time is not the land countries, but the Atlanteans. After all, they will be the first to be affected. Once the Antarctic glaciers melt, a large amount of fresh water will enter the ocean, which will immediately change the salinity of the seawater, which will cause many marine life to become extinct.
Even the Atlanteans would be destroyed because of this, so if there is a problem in Antarctica, the Atlanteans will definitely be the first to discover the problem. When the time comes to deal with them, Om will definitely be a useful card.
In addition, the only descendant of the Atlantean royal family is Atlanna... The original intention of this raid was to capture the Queen of Atlantis, but as expected, they failed. This is also reasonable. That is the Queen of Atlantis. If she is so easy to capture, then Black Manta does not need to worry about the Atlanteans.
But it doesn’t matter, there is still one person!
Aquaman Arthur!
Coincidentally, he is also the enemy that Black Manta wants revenge the most!
Capture him, sacrifice him directly, and use the blood of his enemy to start his journey to dominate the world. Is there a more suitable person than this?
So the next step is to capture Arthur!
If it were in the past, Black Manta could only think about it, but it is different now.
Black Manta stroked the Dark Trident on his legs with fascination like Gollum. After he obtained this artifact, he became like Arthur, able to move freely in the water, with infinite strength, indestructible, and able to use all kinds of black magic!
Why shouldn't he take revenge himself?
"Nick Fury! Go find Arthur Curry. I want to use his blood to break the seal once and for all!"
Nick Fury was stunned, then hesitantly said: "But... the intelligence network I have now has disappeared, and SHIELD is also hunting me, I..."
Unfortunately, his new boss is just a pirate, and he doesn't care about Nick Fury's life or death: "I only want Arthur Curry! I don't care about the others! Find him! I command you!!!"
Nick Fury's face turned even darker. Although he was controlled, his mind was still preserved. He could not disobey orders and felt extremely bitter.
"Yes……"
This time it’s really going to be dangerous!
……
Kai was also confused. After all, it was hard for him to guess where Om would go... They didn't know that Om had fallen into trouble. They thought that this time Om was the mastermind.
"Do you know what they are planning to do by collecting so much mountain copper?" Kai couldn't guess what Orm's next move would be, so he asked Atlanna.
Atlanna looked grim.
"I don't know... Speaking of which, I'm a really bad mother. Om and I... we didn't even get to spend time together. I don't know what he looks like, and I don't even know how he grew up."
This was perhaps the first time Atlanna reflected on herself in this way.
She used to care about her eldest son Arthur the most. She named him and she even stayed with him for a year. So she was emotionally invested in him, and he was the fruit of her love with Tom Curry. She also always felt that it was very irresponsible for her to abandon Arthur and let him grow up in such an environment.
So she wondered how Arthur was doing, whether he had been wronged, how he was eating, whether he could eat well, and so on.
As for Om… to be honest, his birth was only accompanied by compromise and hatred. And Atlanna subconsciously felt that he lived in the palace and there was no need to worry about him.
But now think about it, how heartless and irresponsible this was.
