Chapter 12: People around the world welcome the drop in sea levels All in all, not to mention how the 100,000-strong imperial expeditionary force on the other side of the fantasy world was caught off guard by the monstrous floods and was overwhelmed.
On the real world side of the "Gate", facing the Victoria Bay of Hong Kong Wang Qiu and the relevant departments behind him were already overwhelmed and at a loss due to the huge hole dug out from the bottom and the huge whirlpool that appeared on the sea surface.
Fortunately among misfortunes, it was already midnight when the "door" suddenly appeared at the bottom of Victoria Bay.
There are very few ships still driving in the waters of Victoria Bay.
The few night ships that have not yet anchored and docked have enough power to escape the entanglement of the underwater whirlpool.
In short, after some emergency evacuation, there was finally no escape.
The worst-case scenario is that someone falls overboard and goes missing or the boat is sucked away.
Of course, the complete closure of all terminals on both sides of Victoria Bay is also an inevitable response to this unprecedented special situation.
However, what comes next is where all the troubles really begin.
It is conceivable that in a highly internationalized place like Hong Kong, such big sensational news cannot be concealed.
Just a few dozen minutes later, before the relevant departments and the SAR government had time to issue martial law, groups of reporters had already swarmed in, setting up long guns and cannons and searchlights on both sides of Victoria Bay, and even attempted suicide In order to grab news, reporters tried to hire a boat to get closer to take pictures of the Gate to Another World.
However, they were discovered by the Hong Kong police and stopped in time.
Otherwise, the record of zero casualties might not have been maintained that night.
Then, the next morning, before it got light, the Gate to Another World appeared at the bottom of Victoria Bay in Hong Kong, and quickly overcame the armed confrontation between the Chinese and American fleets in the Nansha Islands, becoming the most eye-catching news in the world. news focus.
Major news media around the world have dispatched teams of reporters to Hong Kong, and intelligence officers from all over the world stationed in Hong Kong have also been alerted to the news, making the Hong Kong branch of the National Security Bureau extremely busy.
Although the government department has already issued a ban and designated a three-kilometer radius of the sea area where the incident occurred as a no-fly zone, drones with high-definition cameras still came one after another over the "Gateway to Another World" in Victoria Bay. , came in an endless stream, and the snipers of the Hong Kong garrison could not stop them no matter how hard they hit them.
Next, various United Nations agencies also expressed great concern about the "Gate to Another World" that appeared in Hong Kong waters, believing that this is likely to be "the first contact between extraterrestrial civilization and humans."
In fact, this is not the first time. , is of very great historical significance.
Therefore, within 48 hours, a large-scale United Nations observation team was formed to come to Hong Kong for on-site inspection.
China’s representative to the United Nations put pressure on the Sino-US military confrontation in the Nansha Islands, claiming that until the South China Sea issue is resolved and the war atmosphere is resolved, it may be difficult to allow the international community to participate in the incident in Hong Kong, in an attempt to pressure the United States to make concessions. , which triggered a new wave of quarrels in diplomacy and public opinion.
Of course, in the midst of this lively drama, Wang Qiu and the others who were not able to go to another world and were "professional travellers" were naturally reduced to window-dwellers for the time being, and could only sit on the cold benches and act as spectators. , watching all kinds of exciting and bustling things with cold eyes.
However, soon Wang Qiu and the others could no longer continue to be the window clan because a lot of troubles had come to their door.
A few days after the "door" opened, the gates of the Stonecutters Island military base in Hong Kong's Kowloon Peninsula were once again crowded with protest teams.
Among them, in addition to the vast majority of Chinese people with yellow skin and black hair, there are also many foreigners with various types of blond hair, blue eyes, or dark skin and curly hair.
It is really a huge force and a global consensus.
Judging from the banners they raised, the leader was the famous Greenpeace, followed by a large number of other well-known and unknown world-wide environmental groups, as well as rows of reporters and photographers from major global media.
Under the watchful eye of the public, they were all seen waving various banners, flags and posters, holding loudspeakers and shouting loudly on the street outside.
Some were playing electric guitars and singing various environmental songs. , some environmental organizations even performed some exciting little shows on the spot.
"Cherish every drop of water on earth.
A dry ocean is a hell for life."
"The ocean is the common wealth of all mankind and cannot be lost because of some people's reckless behavior."
"Mother Earth is being cut and bled.
To protect the Earth is to protect the lives of each of us."
"It's not too late to make up for the situation before it's too late.
Let's act quickly to plug the bleeding wound of Mother Earth."
"I hope the Chinese government can take responsibility as soon as possible and don't sit back and watch Mother Earth continue to bleed.
This is a criminal act."
"Dirty powerful people, get out with your garbage and give me a clean Victoria Bay."
In addition, a female professional protest group from Eastern Europe performed a short drama at the protest site: a naked Ukrainian girl, covered in oil paint, played the role of "Mother Earth", and was cut down by a fierce "big cap" again and again, and then lay on the tomato I had to admit that I was twitching in the "pool of blood" prepared by the soy sauce.
This girl's breasts and butt are big enough, and she has a perfect butt for childbirth, which is very suitable for taking on the responsibilities of a mother.
Looking at the noisy scene outside the base through the large LCD screen in the conference room, Wang Qiu couldn't help but feel a little numb and his forehead swollen.
These people outside were all here to protest against their operation underwater in Victoria Bay.
This door causes the earth's seawater to leak into other worlds.
In fact, when this change first broke out, Wang Qiu and others only thought about the impact on the Hong Kong economy and the interference to the coastal routes in Guangdong.
At most, they thought about the possible impact on the domestic stock market, bond market, and foreign exchange market.

There is a shock, but I have never considered the "loss of the earth's water resources", a major issue involving all mankind, because it feels a bit too false and empty, so I am a little confused now.
"As for the origin of this topic, it should have been first raised by the United Nations Environment Program.
The general meaning is that an unknown amount of sea water is lost from the earth through this alien door every minute and every second.
If things go on like this, it may cause harm to the ecological environment.
Some adverse effects and so on.
I don’t know how it happened, but it immediately aroused great enthusiasm from environmental protection organizations around the world.
A bunch of environmental experts, celebrities and celebrities came out to discuss this topic.
Then they became more and more mysterious and outrageous.
They all describe the earth as a rubber ball with holes in it.”
Wang Qiu, who was sitting at the conference table, explained this to everyone while typing on the computer keyboard in front of him, opening several news web pages, and then switched to the large screen hanging on the wall.
These are reports from media around the world on the loss of water resources on the earth caused by the "Hong Kong Watergate Incident", and are also mixed with many political cartoons.
The content of most of the cartoons is that a beautiful young woman who symbolizes "Mother Earth" has a knife inserted in her neck and is being cut and bled.
The handle of the knife is painted to look like an ancient Roman temple, that is, the "Mother Earth" in Victoria Bay.
Watergate" appearance.
There is also a more detailed cartoon that depicts the horrific scene after all the seawater is drained: an ancient Roman-style gate to another world stands alone on the dry seabed, while the land has turned into the Gobi Desert, and the earth has become Without maracas, forests and grasslands withered together, and humans and animals all died of thirst.
"What these people say is too exaggerated and crazy.
This crossing gate is opened in Victoria Bay, not in the Mariana Trench.
Even if the world's oceans are connected to each other, even if Victoria Bay is drained, the world's oceans will How many meters does the plane have to drop?"
Ma Tong rolled his eyes and muttered, "Have all the guys who wrote these claptrap things never studied geography?"
"So at the same time, there are other groups and forces that have expressed opposition and support releasing a little more water from the Earth's oceans."
Wang Qiu continued slowly, and then opened several other web pages on the computer, "People in a series of tropical island countries such as the Maldives and Tuvalu, as well as residents in coastal areas of some developed countries, have gone online to express their hope that China will Don't rush to block this drain to another world, so that these unfortunate guys who have suffered from rising sea levels for many years can breathe a sigh of relief.
They said that in the past, hadn’t environmental groups been claiming that excessive carbon emissions and global warming would cause Antarctic glaciers to melt and sea levels to rise, eventually causing large areas of coastal land to be submerged?
Release water from the ocean to lower the rising sea level, to some extent alleviate the sequelae of global warming, and prevent their homes from being submerged in the sea.
Especially in Tuvalu, the small broken island in their country is extremely low-lying.
Now that the sea level has only risen by a few dozen centimeters, it is already about to turn into a sunken Atlantis.
Originally, the Tuvaluan people were preparing to move to Australia as a whole, but unexpectedly, the Australian Immigration Bureau banned them and refused to accept their immigration at all.
Seeing that the whole country was about to become boat people or international migrants, I heard that in De After hearing the news about the Watergate Incident in Hong Kong, the islanders on the coral islands in the South Pacific lit bonfires and held a grand celebration with singing and dancing."
Of course, generally speaking, no matter what it is, as long as there is support, there will also be opposition.
Therefore, there are fierce disagreements on global Internet forums about whether Hong Kong's interdimensional water release caused the earth's sea level to drop, and even residents of coastal areas and island countries have different opinions: those who are about to The residents of the coral island who sank underwater seemed to be greeted by rain after a long drought, and they were all very happy. ; But other people who are not in such a bad situation are worried that if the global sea level really drops because of this, many of the original port facilities will have to be overhauled due to changes in water levels, at least the docks and trestles.
The construction has been started all over again, and many channels still need to be dug and dredged before ships can sail.
A large number of saltworks and marine aquaculture farms also had to be moved to new coastlines and started all over again.
Of course, this can rely on infrastructure construction to significantly boost gd, but who will pay for the huge expenses incurred?
For example, the Japanese are polarizing around this topic on the Internet.
Some people think that once the sea level drops, it will be able to increase the land area without reclamation, which is naturally a very ideal and good thing.
But some people are worried that the average depth of Tokyo Bay is only twelve meters, which is shallower than Victoria Bay in Hong Kong.
Once the sea level drops significantly, large ships will no longer be able to enter, and Yokohama Port will be scrapped.
It's such a tragedy.
Many reefs originally hidden underwater in the Seto Inland Sea will also be exposed, and the entire maritime shipping in Japan will be disrupted.
What is even more tragic is that Egyptians are discussing on the Internet that once the global sea level drops, the Suez Canal will be dug in vain and the entire Suez Canal must be deepened.
This is a very troublesome and extremely expensive mega-project.
They are worried about similar problems.
Of course, there are also Panamanians who are worried.
Although the inland residents react to the rise and fall of sea levels, Relatively slow, but also worried that the loss of the ocean will lead to climate dryness and land desertification.
After all, since the door to other world in Hong Kong opened, so much water has been permanently lost from the earth's biosphere, and it will never be seen again.
There is no way to make up for it, and the consequences of this will make the world drier no matter how you look at it.

All in all, around the above-mentioned topics, there are divergent opinions on global Internet forums.
Countless conflicting opinions and inferences are fighting each other.
There are also various regional attacks, racial discrimination, ideological opposition, smear campaigns and nonsense, which makes Wang Qiu and others Several parties involved were dazzled and dizzy.
They really didn’t know how to comment.
Finally, they had to ask Political Commissar Guo what the central government’s view was on this matter.
"The central government's view on this matter is that all these guys are talking nonsense and are groundless worries."
Political Commissar Guo reached out and pulled out the cigar from his mouth, blew out a smoke ring, then curled his lips with disdain and said, "This matter is simply a false proposition hyped by the media, thinking that such a small hole can solve the problem."
Those who affect the level of global ocean water are all physics idiots and math fools.
As long as you use a little calculation with formulas, you will know how unscientific this idea is." oshow7:
