Quick Travel: Records of Extraordinary Creatures

Qu Jie hid in the Yukun Cave and lived in peace, but the outside world, as she expected, quickly entered a state of collapse of the world's ecological cycle.

Simply put, mass extinction.

Although the extinction of species has been said a long time ago, and it has been happening continuously. Many species become extinct every year, but this time the species extinction is comparable to the last mass extinction.

It was that time more than 6000 million years ago.

Thus ended the age of dinosaurs.

Nearly % of the world's species have been completely extinct.

Although so many species have not disappeared yet, the collapse of the entire ecological cycle has just begun.

I believe that as time goes by, the number of species that will eventually become extinct will definitely not be much less than the last time.

The cause and effect are actually easy to sort out.

In this world, many species are relatively weak in adapting to the environment. Sometimes a temperature difference of one or two degrees may cause a certain species to become extinct on a large scale, and it may also cause a certain species to have an extremely terrifying gender imbalance. accelerated extinction.

For example, in many reptile species similar to tortoises, their sex is not determined innately, but is determined by temperature during the incubation process.

Once the temperature is out of balance, it is perfectly normal for the next generation to have a large-scale gender imbalance.

Others such as changes in ocean currents, changes in ocean water temperature in some areas, submarine volcanic eruptions, volcanic dust accumulation, increased air pollution, and various natural disasters...

And even changes in the oxygen content of seawater.

would be devastating to some species.

Animals are different from humans. Humans can wear clothes when they are cold, they can hide in houses, they can turn on electric blankets, burn kangs, turn on air conditioners, and warm themselves by a fire.

When it is hot, you can take off your clothes, turn on the air conditioner, turn on the fan, and use ice cubes to lower the temperature and soothe your body and mind.

Even if the temperature changes slightly, for example, it is one or two degrees colder in winter and one or two degrees hotter in summer than in previous years, it will not be a big problem. Basically, it can be carried by various tools and even technological creations.

But not animals.

Not to mention wild animals, even pigs raised in captivity will die of heat if the air conditioner is not turned on or the temperature is not cooled in the extremely hot summer. Who in the wild will cool them down?
Although the living conditions of those wild animals have become worse and worse due to human activities, at least they have not been so bad that they are basically extinct. However, as various natural disasters become more and more serious, Human beings can still rely on various technological creations to resist natural disasters, or reduce losses and casualties.

But the animals are really different.

Not to mention, countries other than the Xia Kingdom that have weather satellites are constantly transferring their domestic natural disasters to other places. These situations undoubtedly make the climate fluctuations in many places extremely serious.

Especially the uninhabited ocean area is the hardest hit area, the hardest hit area for large-scale species extinction.

Frequent natural disasters, excessive climate change, and ecological damage lead to species extinction, which will indirectly make the entire ecology worse and worse, and even break a large number of food chains. For example, the mass extinction of krill will undoubtedly make many in the ocean Animals that depend on krill to survive are also starved to extinction on a large scale.

The upper food chains of those animals continued to become extinct.

Or having to change your eating habits.

In this world, many things are linked together. If a problem occurs in one link, it will inevitably lead to a chain reaction. As the mass extinction of species spreads wider and wider, more and more species become extinct, including a large number of seaweed plants They also began to die, and the global oxygen concentration continued to decrease, while the carbon dioxide concentration increased.

And the oxygen concentration starts to drop.

The rate of species extinction is even faster.

The situation has developed to this point, and it is no longer under the control of weather satellites. Although the weather satellites of various countries are still in operation, whether it is the decrease in oxygen concentration, the breakdown of the food chain, or the increase in global summer temperatures and the decrease in winter temperatures, The terrifying cold wave hit, and the weather satellites were powerless.

Meteorological satellites can disperse clouds in a small area, or divert cold currents in a small area, but they cannot dispel the cold currents that sweep across the country, or even half the planet, so when the weather is so bad, half the planet is covered by terrifying cold No matter how many weather satellites there are, there is nothing they can do at the moment.

Can only be replaced by other methods to resist.

But when one's strength is exhausted, the so-called man can conquer the sky, at most he can only overcome some small disasters and disasters, and when faced with the real horrible natural disasters, he is still helpless.

So the next step is naturally to reduce food production.

Even to the point of failure.

and mass human deaths.

The previous days could at most be regarded as the prelude to the doomsday. Until this moment, the real doomsday will be considered complete. Human beings have developed technology for many years, and they are arrogant and arrogant. Under the sweeping power of nature, they are not much different from ordinary animals. The difference is just ants.

At this time, some countries started wars.

Knowing that he was dying, he still wanted to go crazy.

There are also countries that completely abandon civilians, either taking elites to hide in the doomsday base, or taking dignitaries to sit on the doomsday aircraft carrier, Noah's Ark, or even directly take a rocket to enter the space station and live temporarily.

Xia Guo is actually no exception.

The main difference between them and those countries is that they have built more doomsday underground bases, but even so, the number of people who can live in them is limited. We can only send elites, young people, and children to the underground bases first, and the rest Humans live on the ground.

Rely on various latest scientific research results.

Barely withstood natural disasters.

At the same time, due to various reasons such as lack of materials and inconvenient transportation, the major bases are basically in a state of autonomy, and the original order has begun to collapse.

In just a few years.

The total global population has dropped to less than one billion.

And this is not the end. The reality tells all human beings that what follows is not ups and downs, but downs and downs. In the following year, many desperate natural disasters occurred one after another, so desperate that many human beings directly Sacrifice, I don't want to live a hard life anymore.

For example, the world's largest volcanic eruption, volcanic dust covered the sky, causing the global average temperature to drop by two degrees again, and a large number of plants died due to the loss of sunlight.

For example, the mainland of the peninsula suffered a magnitude earthquake, and the entire continent collapsed and sank to the bottom of the sea.

Another example is the magnetic field disorder, and a large number of satellites lost contact.

The infrastructure in various places was severely damaged, daily communication was blocked, and even the Internet was basically unusable.

In short, mankind has entered the darkest hour.
