Although Li Yi expected that the Book of Strangeness would give corresponding prompts in advance, Li Yi did not expect that this time the Book of Strangeness would give a very specific task, and even explain all the background of this world. come out.
The following is the summary of what he saw about the world. Although it was only a few sentences, it was enough for him to understand the background of this water world.
[This is a planet that is almost the same as Blue Star, and there is also a group of humans living on it. 】
[Like Blue Star, after a long period of development, humans in this world called Falling Star have completely conquered the entire world, although they are also divided into hundreds of countries, large and small, just like Blue Star humans. . 】
[But unlike Blue Star, the continents here are almost all connected together, which leads to conflicts among these more than 100 countries from time to time due to small frictions. 】
[As we all know, once a conflict or even war occurs, ordinary people will suffer. Although the war also caused the technological level of the Fallen Stars to develop rapidly for a time, reaching a very high stage before becoming a water world, it also caused the people who had once reached a high level to The population of tens of billions has dropped sharply. 】
[Before that incident, Luo Xing’s global population was only a little over one billion when it was at its lowest. Compared with its peak, it had shrunk by more than 90%! 】
[The people of Luo Xing soon realized that something was wrong. If the fight continues like this, a real world war may not be far away. By that time, Luo Xing, which is already facing a population shortage, might not be the next one to perish. animals and plants, but humans themselves. 】
[So under the initiative of some prestigious people of insight and the instructions of leaders of some big countries, Luo Xing established an organization with the intention of uniting all human beings in Luo Xing. How should I put it, it’s a bit like Blue Star’s original The original intention of establishing the United Nations. 】
【......】
Much of the following narrative is about some of the efforts of the organization named the Alliance to maintain peace.
Of course none of this matters.
What's important is that one day, a sudden war breaks out, causing a series of subsequent problems.
Including the period when the sea level of the entire Falling Star rose and all countries were submerged, and the few remaining people were forced to survive at sea.
Human beings' will to survive is extremely tenacious. Many times, under the pressure of survival, human beings will burst out with unexpected and huge energy.
So at a certain period, the days of floating on the sea came to an imperfect end.
Almost all the people who survived moved from the surface of the sea to live under the sea.
The completion of underwater cities has given mankind a chance to breathe under the threat of nature.
As time went by, humans living on the seabed also built tunnels connecting undersea cities, which allowed the originally closed cities to begin to communicate and communicate with each other.
Even if they live under the sea, smart humans can still come up with various ways to try to make the seabed no different from the land.
Artificial sun is one of them.
This method of using certain mineral isotopes in the seabed to generate huge energy soon allowed these humans living on the seabed to gradually become prosperous again, known in history as the second rise of the falling star.
But the good times did not last long. This time due to various restrictions, the Fallen Stars living on the bottom of the sea did not break out into war with each other. Although there were still frictions, living on the bottom of the sea was not like living on the shore. As long as one was not careful, he would end up... A dead end.
Under this natural threat, some originally strong cities surprisingly did not rely on their own strength to bully the weak (it may also be that they were afraid that the other party would drag them to death when they saw that they could not beat them), nor did they act like before. As we did on land, we made some unequal treaties, but we really did it with the goal of common progress.
But as a human being who personally turned Luo Xing into such a situation, how could Luo Xing's will let these humans go so easily?
Although today's fallen humans have dropped sharply from tens of billions to less than 10 million under the sea today.
A full ninety-nine percent less!
However, because of the evil done by the Luo Xing people, or rather their ancestors, Luo Xing's will obviously would not let them go so easily.
Just when the first underwater star-faller tried to board the sea, what greeted him was not the beautiful sunshine and the endless blue sea. No, in other words, in addition to these, there were some unexpected appearances that should have appeared in the sea. Creatures on the table.
But now the priorities are reversed.
The starfish himself became a delicacy on the table.
The first batch of undersea people to land on the sea were almost wiped out. They were attacked by a group of sea monsters.
The only person who escaped back to the bottom of the sea alive was also mentally damaged. He knew nothing but kept saying "monsters, monsters".
As a result, rumors of monsters on the sea surface spread like wildfire, and soon spread to various underwater cities, which also put the original plan to explore the sea surface in full swing on hold.
But will humans really give up satisfying their desire for exploration just because of a little panic?
The answer is obviously not.
Not only did he not do it, he even got worse.
Just as these research institutions are trying to get involved again, a new threat has emerged.
It turns out that the monsters on the sea are not just found on the sea.
Perhaps it was because of that attack on humans that these sea monsters, which were obviously prone to mutation, got a taste of them.
Soon, they followed the scent of the only person who escaped and sneaked into the underwater city where that person was.
Don't forget that they are sea monsters. Even every underwater city is well covered and the protection is very solid.
But it is obviously impossible to defend against these sea monsters, which far exceed humans in terms of size and strength.
And because of past mistakes, the Undersea City does not have any weapons that can be used to defend against external threats.
So the underwater city numbered 908 fell without any suspense.
The entire underwater city was completely destroyed, and the hundreds of thousands of people living inside became prey to the sea monsters.
This is not an isolated case. With the fall of 908, more underwater cities were found and destroyed by sea monsters.
Suddenly, everyone in the Undersea City was in danger after hearing the news, and was in constant panic, fearing that one day a huge sea monster would suddenly break through the defensive barrier and rush in to devour humans unscrupulously.
As a last resort, human beings can only choose to collectively give up gathering and instead disperse to live in smaller and deeper places under the sea.
This really had an effect.
Perhaps the sea monsters have eaten enough, or it may be that the crowd is too dispersed and the sea monsters have lost track of humans.
In recent decades, there have been few reports of giant sea monsters attacking human gathering places.
Although, some people still want to go to the sea to have a look.
Look at the place where the ancestors of the Fallen Stars once lived.
Although there is no land, they still want to see even real sunlight.
There are not many such people, and it is not because of the conditions. People on the seabed have already achieved the technology to easily reach the sea surface. The price is low, and even ordinary people can afford it.
For example, Su Ding's big stuffy tank can transform into a fishing boat.
After decades of calm, some people are unwilling to be lonely. They call themselves adventurers, trying to take advantage of loopholes to avoid the attacks of sea monsters, and not only want to see the sunshine on the sea.
He even tried to bring some things from the sea to the bottom of the sea as proof of his past achievements.
As more and more people did this, people soon discovered that not only were treasures everywhere under the sea, but also near the sea level, various mutant creatures could also provide unexpected benefits to humans.
For example, the black turtle monster.
"Boss, the goods have been received! Su Ding happily placed a large bag of black armor scales on a steel scale. After glancing at the weight, he was slightly unhappy.
"Hey, Mr. Wu, your weight is wrong, right? Why is it only 300 kilograms?"
"If you don't want to sell it, you can find another home. Don't disturb my sleep."
The boss who came after hearing the sound yawned, looking as if he had just been woken up and was unhappy.
Seeing him coming, Su Ding immediately changed his smile.
"It turns out to be Lao Wu, I thought he was your son!"
"Bah, you bastard son, do you think I'm capable of giving birth to cubs?"
Hearing this, Li Yi looked away curiously, and was stunned after taking a look.
