See you soon Douluo

Chapter 236 The worries of the atmospheric dragon clan

"As for the prophecies of the elders, it all started with a great disaster millions of years ago." Cheng Ying was shocked as soon as No. 1 spoke.

"Millions of years ago?"

"Yes, the history of the Cloud Shepherd has been passed down orally among the elders for nearly tens of millions of years. Although there are basically no major events in our history, the great catastrophe three million years ago has been faithfully passed down. Recorded it." There was obvious pride in No. 1's answer.

That probably means that even if you are an awesome million-year-old soul beast, you still can't know more than the elders.

However, he obviously misunderstood Cheng Ying's surprise. In fact, what Cheng Ying was surprised about was, you have a history of nearly 10 million years, and yet you are still here drinking blood with me? The millions of years your race has lived have truly been in vain!

But after thinking about it, it is understandable that there is a lack of matter in the clouds. Even if the cloud herders have four claws that are convenient for using tools, there are no tools for them to use...

"Forget it, you should tell me about the great catastrophe that happened three million years ago!" Cheng Ying was also very curious. At that time, big men like Di Tian and the Deep Sea Demon Whale King were not even born yet. Human beings were probably still Forest Ancient Ape, what kind of catastrophe caused the Atmospheric Dragon Clan to regard rockets as a harbinger of disaster.

"It's like this. Three million years ago, during the term of the ninety-sixth elder, meteors erupted from the ground, and they were as numerous as stars, flying continuously towards the sky.

At that time, many tribesmen were hit by meteors and died. The center of the meteor explosion was shrouded in a poisonous cloud. The skin and flesh of the tribesmen who were close to the poisonous cloud all fell off and died miserably. Even other atmospheric creatures that ate the corpses of the tribesmen did not survive. "

Cheng Ying frowned: "It sounds like a volcanic eruption. Meteors are materials ejected from the crater. Some ejections may indeed rush out of the atmosphere directly. As for the poisonous cloud, it should be volcanic ash and the sulfide contained in the volcanic ash."

But if this is the case, it is not a catastrophe. Every once in a while, the volcanoes on the planet will erupt. Your atmospheric dragons are all over Douluo Planet. This kind of thing should have happened a lot. "

"Yes, similar disasters are not uncommon in our historical records. As long as you avoid poisonous clouds and clouds that are eroded by poisonous clouds and drop sour liquid, you will be fine.

But that time was different. There were too many meteors, and many of them flew directly to high altitudes where we couldn't go, and never even fell again.

The ninety-sixth generation elder thought it was just an ordinary, um... volcanic eruption. "Number 1 originally wanted to use the name of his own race, but considering his master's mood, he changed his name midway.

"So the elders asked the clansmen to stay away from that area. Anyway, there were many clouds in the sky, so there was no need to worry about the clansmen having nowhere to settle. But who knew that was just the beginning of the disaster.

After that volcanic eruption, we found that the sun in the sky seemed to be covered with a layer of fog, and it was almost impossible to see a clear sky. Even if we flew above the clouds, we could not see a clear sky. There was a layer of slightly fishy smell as we continued upward. The atmosphere is such that none of us dare to cross that barrier. According to legend, any dragon that flies up will be exposed to the sun and die.

So no dragon knows what is happening at higher altitudes, but this is good news for us, because dragons often die of exposure because they cannot find clouds in time. The weakening of the sun increases our range of activities. . "

Cheng Ying rubbed his forehead. He probably understood the matter. The barrier that the atmospheric dragons dare not cross should be the ozone layer. As for what happened next, Cheng Ying could guess what happened next, so he took over the conversation. road:
  "I guess it didn't take long for you to have a good time, and you will find that the global climate is getting colder and colder, the ice caps at the North and South Poles are expanding rapidly, the sea level is lowering, and the land area is increasing.

The evaporation of seawater dropped significantly, Douluo almost turned into an ice ball, the atmosphere became dry, the clouds became fewer and fewer, and a large number of homeless atmospheric dragons died on a large scale because their food sources disappeared. And this ice age lasted for at least a million years before it was relieved. "

No. 1 was shocked when he heard Cheng Ying's explanation: "My lord...how do you know? Does your race also have a history of millions of years?"

"It's just a simple speculation. This is not the first time that similar climate changes have appeared on this planet." Cheng Ying shook his head. He was not interested in digging for paleontological fossils on Douluo Planet, but there were still many paleontologists in his previous life. He learned about the consequences of super volcanic eruptions.

"What you are encountering should be an ice age caused by a super volcanic eruption. From a time perspective, this ice age is not very long.

Super volcanic eruptions will eject large amounts of volcanic ash into the top of the atmosphere. These volcanic ash will float in the atmosphere and be difficult to settle.

This forms an isolation layer against sunlight and reduces the light. The natural result is global cooling, which in turn will lead to an increase in polar glaciers and a decrease in sea levels.

The atmosphere will become drier and drier due to the cold climate. Until the volcanic ash in the atmosphere settles and the sunlight returns, the ice age will not pass. By the way, the large amounts of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases released by volcanic eruptions will cause the temperature to rise rapidly after the ice age. Create a short-lived greenhouse effect.

Of course, there are many other reasons for the ice age. In addition to volcanic eruptions, there is also the possibility that plants are overproliferating and seeking death, absorbing too much carbon dioxide, resulting in insufficient greenhouse gases, but it is certainly not related to rocket launches. "

"Yes... that's it!" Number 1 was a little dumbfounded. He understood every word Cheng Ying said, but he couldn't understand what they were connected together.

"In short, you elders believe that a rocket launching into the sky means bad luck. This is purely superstitious. I need to find a way to negotiate with your elders. One of my rockets costs one million gold soul coins. If he messes with it and shoots it down, it will be a big loss. !" Cheng Ying wasn't sure if he could convince the elders of Muyunzhe.

So after he was ready to receive the return capsule, he went to the air force base to see how the new batch of pilots were being trained. The aircraft had been upgraded many times after the Technology Development Bureau came up with wind tunnel experiment technology, and now the pilots are even more valuable. .

As long as there are a sufficient number of fighters, I believe the elders of the Cloud Shepherds will be very reasonable.

Cheng Ying's expression made No. 1 tremble. He had personally experienced the power of those "Dragon Killer Bees" flying up from the ground. They rushed up in groups and ran away after they were beaten. Unless all the Cloud Shepherds were Choose to self-destruct, otherwise it will be difficult to cause much damage to those little things. It seems that it is their elders who will be unlucky this time.
