My Deep-sea Fishery

A group of people emerged.

Fang Youqun was the first to be disappointed and said, "Brother Yang, you are a messenger."

"That's not a dirt bag, it's an island." Xiang Yang smiled.

"Island?" Fang Youqun widened his eyes and said directly: "Impossible."

"There is nothing impossible. Every year there are countless islands disappearing and newly born on the sea. This is just a newly born dark island." Xiang Yang said.

"What? Will the island disappear?" Everyone was surprised now.

"This is totally unscientific."

"On the contrary, this is science." Xiang Yang smiled. "If the earth is divided into four hemispheres, southeast, northwest and northwest, the center of the earth should be at the junction of the Pacific Ocean across the north-south latitude and east-west longitude. This point happens to be The unlucky Kiribati is surrounded. Although Kiribati has a land area of ​​only 800 square kilometers, it is more than 3.5 million square kilometers in Shanghai. Let’s take Kiribati as an example."

"Unlucky? Why is Kiribati unlucky? Also, why should we take it as an example?" Fang Youqun wondered.

"I say that Kiribati is unlucky because other island countries are trying to expand their land area as much as possible, even if they don’t have the conditions, they must reclaim the land. Only Kiribati, it has a land area of ​​813 square kilometers when it became independent 40 years ago. Today, 40 years later, 13 square kilometers are missing, and only 800 square kilometers of territory remain." Xiang Yang replied.

Kiribati's position in the international arena is very special.

About 5,000 years ago, the Austronesians began to live in Kiribati. In the early 19th century, Britain took the opportunity of laying Pacific cables to incorporate them into the Sunless Empire, and later gave them to the United States.

Unfortunately, the United States did not regard Kiribati as an overseas territory. After World War II, it conducted a series of hydrogen bomb tests in Kiribati.

Everyone knows that there are many similarities between the principle of a hydrogen bomb and an atomic bomb. The most similar thing is that there are nuclear radiation.

A series of hydrogen bomb tests made Kiribati, which was originally blue and blue, at least 10% of the land is an uninhabitable life forbidden zone.

Although the islands where nuclear tests are conducted are relatively remote, the proliferation of nuclear radiation has caused many surrounding islands and reefs to be contaminated.

What's more unfortunate is that due to climate warming in Kiribati, two islands undergoing nuclear tests were submerged by sea water, and now the nearby waters even the fishermen dare not go.

Of course, just because the fishermen didn't dare to go, it didn't mean that there would be no life under that sea area.

The unmanned underwater camera found many creatures in that sea area.

Among them, there are two most representative ones. One is a kind of strange crabs that cannot be eaten. The crabs are extremely powerful and have extremely long limbs. They are more bloodthirsty and ferocious than ordinary crabs. Some biologists suspect that it is. Mutated organisms after nuclear radiation, but this claim has never been accepted by mainstream science.

Another creature is a white worm. They have the same habits as sea cucumbers. They also sleep in summer. The colder they grow, the faster they grow. If the temperature rises, they will turn into a pool of water and disappear. Plum ginseng is roughly similar.

This creature is also considered to be a mutant sea cucumber born after being affected by nuclear radiation.

Of course, people in Kiribati have a comfortable life, thanks to world peace.

As a remote island country in the Pacific Ocean.

Kiribati’s only source of income is fishing.

But people in their own country basically don't fish, and their fishing skills can't even keep up with Qinglongwan.

Those who fish in Kiribati are basically New Zealanders, Austrians, and people from our country.

All the fish caught are exported to New Zealand, Australia and the country.

It stands to reason that there is no shortage of seafood in our country, New Zealand or Australia, because we all have a very vast territorial sea.

However, Kiribati sits on more than three million square kilometers of territorial waters. In exchange for fishing rights in Kiribati's vast waters, everyone is struggling to import seafood, as well as manpower and material assistance.

On Wall Street, there was once a financial giant who wanted to spend a lot of money to make Kiribati the second Hawaii.

But when the financial giant dropped billions of dollars, he gave up.

Except for some plants with super salinity tolerance, only coconut trees can survive in Kiribati.

All of their terrestrial soils have high salinity. No matter how deep they are, they cannot produce fresh water. The islanders have been worrying about fresh water for generations from collecting rainwater in the early days, learning to distill water, and then to desalinated water. .

The financial giant discovered through practice that selling fresh water in Kiribati is more profitable than doing tourism.

Xiang Yang shook his head and sighed: "We all feel that the problem of global warming and the melting of icebergs is very far away from us, but in Kiribati, this is a very serious problem."

"Since 2009, Kiribati has disappeared and nearly 20 islands have disappeared, an average of one a year. The United Nations predicts that by 2100, the entire Kiribati will be submerged by sea water, and they will be the first country to be submerged. ." Xiang Yang said.

"Wh, what?" Everyone opened their mouths, "The whole country is submerged by the sea?"

"This is entirely possible. The highest altitude of Kiribati is only 2 meters." Xiang Yang said.

Kiribati’s leaders publicly admitted that they had “no way out” more than ten years ago.

With the assistance of the European Union, the United States, Japan, Australia and New Zealand, Kiribati spent US$6.3 million to buy 22 square kilometers of land on Vanua Levu Island in Fiji. However, most people in Kiribati are reluctant to leave their homes. com still clings to the precarious island.

Why don't you go?

A New Zealand reporter once interviewed the islanders there, and the answer was that "cultural customs and living habits are difficult to adapt to", and there is even a saying that "there are too many people and bacteria and easy to die".

However, the actual reason is that the islanders there have been accustomed to enjoying the assistance of various countries and charitable funds for decades, and have developed a mentality of getting something for nothing.

This is actually very understandable. Although the conditions on Kiribati are not good, there is still a minimum of water and electricity rations. Firewood, rice, oil, salt, education, and medical care are also donated by outsiders.

For example, Australia donates 15 million Australian dollars to Kiribati every year, New Zealand donates 6 million Australian dollars, and even our neighbor in the east also donates 2 million dollars.

Counting the assistance provided by the United Nations, the World Bank, the World Health Organization, and the Bank of Asia, Kiribati, with a population of 110,000, receives hundreds of millions of Australian dollars each year. Calculated at 500 million yuan, an average person can get more than 20,000 yuan a year for Chinese currency, which is about to directly catch up with the basic salary of a small county, and this does not count as food and medicine assistance.
