Chapter 1813 Irresponsible (Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket!!! Please Subscribe!!)
Black Manta's idea is very simple, that is to use the heat created by mountain copper to melt the Antarctic! Release the undead of the former Kingdom of Kodax!
When the Kingdom of Kodax was destroyed, their king summoned all the magicians and used the energy of mountain copper to alienate the people of the entire country! This is a disguised evolution, just like the last emperor of the Atlantis Empire saved his people.
He used mountain copper to turn his people into something that was neither human nor ghost, just like the monsters in Cthulhu novels, which were deformed and very scary. But their fighting power is unquestionable. All the countries finally defeated them together, and gathered all the magicians at that time to freeze them all.

It was also this battle that caused the magic research of the entire Atlantis to regress rapidly. After all, there were not many magicians back then, and then there was such a war, which caused the death of many magicians. Those mages back then did not have a complete knowledge inheritance system like the scholars of today.
Those mages back then still inherited according to the most traditional master-apprentice system. After many mages died, the inheritance was broken. In addition, the overall social atmosphere is somewhat repulsive to mages, so now, mages are becoming increasingly rare, and only very few people still have magic abilities.
And modern Atlantis does not need mages very much. After all, what magic can do, technology can also do.
This is also why the weapons of the Kingdom of Kodax are so popular in modern Atlantis. After all, they are completely different tracks. When designing and developing Atlantis’ weapons, they never thought that they would encounter such magic-side weapons and equipment one day.
As a result, the versions are not unified and the response is not timely. This has led to a one-sided situation. However, Black Manta did not see this side. He just simply felt that the ancient weapons were really awesome!
Once Black Manta unlocks the seal of the Kingdom of Kodax, he will not only be able to obtain a large number of Kodax Kingdom citizens as soldiers, but also use countless Kodax weapons and equipment. In this way, he can really rule the world!
The key is that Antarctica is melting.
This will have a great impact on the whole world.
In fact, even now, there are many related studies in the world! Antarctica is located at the southernmost tip of the earth, with a total area of 14.05 million square kilometers and a total area of 12.41 million square kilometers of ice and snow. Its total area accounts for 4% of the world's continental area. In recent years, the world has been increasingly affected by excessive carbon dioxide emissions, leading to global warming. At present, not only the ecological environment of the earth is being destroyed, but the Antarctic glaciers are also constantly collapsing, and then the glaciers begin to melt into sea water.
However, humans at least don't have to worry about the melting of Antarctic glaciers recently, because Kai, Kai has an ice magic box in his hand. This thing is the artifact of the frost giants, which is very powerful. The frost giants planned to use this artifact to drag the entire earth into the ice age and make the entire earth a habitable environment for them. Later, Odin led Asgard and the Frost Giants to a battle in the Nordic region of the Earth, defeated them, and took away the Frost Box. He also took away the only son of the Frost Giant King Laufey, Loki, and adopted him as his son.
The last time Odin fell into a deep sleep, Loki made trouble. Kai caught Loki, and Odin, the old man, felt sorry for his youngest son, so he negotiated with Kai. In the end, Kai failed to kill Loki, so Kai got angry and ran to the treasure house of Asgard and took away their Frost Box.
Anyway, the one who made the decision in Asgard at that time was Thor, the god of thunder. This guy was a simple son who didn't feel sorry for his father's land. Seeing that Kai liked it, he gave it to Kai casually, and didn't think that this artifact had any value at all... Even Odin didn't know it at the time, and he probably didn't feel embarrassed to ask Kai to take it back later, so the matter was left unresolved.
After that, Cobra built an artificial sun on the Arctic glacier, which almost melted the entire Arctic and almost took away the Russians. In order to save the disaster caused by this group of idiots, Kai used the Ice Box to freeze the Arctic. By the way, it also lowered the global climate by a few tenths of a degree.
Don't underestimate these tenths of a degree.
In fact, since 1880, the global average temperature has only risen by 1 degree in more than 200 years. The previous highest record was in 2016. According to global temperature data collected by NASA, the global surface temperature in 2016 was about 2°C higher than in 1880. You must know that an increase of 1°C or 2°C refers to the global average temperature. The situation is very different for each region or country. The global average temperature rises by 2°C, which means an increase of 4°C in the Mediterranean region and 6°C in the Arctic region.
The Ice Box can reduce the temperature by a few tenths of a degree, which can be said to be a miracle.
Since Kai has been to the Arctic once, he doesn't need this little time, so he made a special trip to the Antarctic.
At first, Kai actually forgot about this matter, but then the matter of King Ghidorah came along, and this thing also had a great impact on the climate in Antarctica, so Kai also went there. As a result, this year's climate is the most normal in recent years. There is no high temperature, but it is generally a bit cold in winter. But it is not a big problem. Anyway, the polar bears in the Arctic and the penguins in the Antarctic all said it was great.
Back to Antarctica, someone had made a prediction before.
What will happen if the temperature in Antarctica rises and the glaciers melt? The first thing is that the sea level will rise. Let's do some calculations. When the glaciers melt, the sea level will definitely rise a lot. The Antarctic glaciers are very large, and they may rise by at least 60 to 70 meters. What impact will this height have on the continent? The areas with lower land elevations in the world will be flooded by the sea first, such as the lowest areas in Europe, which are more likely to be flooded. Areas with high altitudes may be the "survivors" of natural disasters. In addition, island countries like New Zealand and Japan will also sink, and the earth's map will be unified and changed.
The second is the shortage of fresh water resources. Although there is a lot of water on the earth, fresh water only accounts for 3%, and 97% is covered by salty and bitter sea water. So far, fresh water resources are still decreasing, and it needs to meet the drinking needs of nearly 200 countries in the world. In addition, Antarctic glaciers store 10% of the earth's fresh water. If it melts into seawater, these fresh water will be lost and cannot be drunk. This will have a great impact on human fresh water drinking. After all, people cannot drink seawater.
In other words, the melting of Antarctic glaciers will have a huge impact on the supply of fresh water for humans. It can be said that the Antarctic glaciers provide fresh water for humans. .
Then there are changes in ocean currents and climate. If the Antarctic melts completely, won’t the Earth’s ocean area expand again? It will become an icy ocean. Then some ocean currents in our South Pacific will also change direction, causing systematic movement of ocean currents. The movement of ocean currents directly affects climate change, and the global precipitation system will be disrupted. Some usually dry places may have heavy rains, and global temperatures will rise sharply.
The Antarctic region is home to many unique ecosystems, including many rare species such as penguins and seals. However, the melting of the ice has led to habitat loss and rising temperatures, which have threatened these ecosystems and challenged the survival of species. The imbalance of the ecosystem will affect the entire food chain and even threaten the stability of the marine ecosystem. In addition, the Antarctic ice has the ability to reflect solar radiation, which is called "Reflectors" can maintain the balance of the earth's climate. However, as the ice melts, more seawater and land are exposed on the surface, resulting in more solar radiation being absorbed, accelerating global temperature rise. This climate change will trigger more frequent extreme weather events, such as heavy rains, droughts, hurricanes, etc., posing a serious threat to human society.
In any case, this blow can defeat most countries.
In Asia, Bangladesh, with a population of 600 million, will almost entirely sink into the sea; most of the current coastal areas of India will disappear; floods raging in the Mekong River Basin in Southeast Asia will turn the Cardamom Mountains in southwestern Cambodia, which stretch for hundreds of kilometers and have an average altitude of more than 1,000 meters, into only an "island".
In South America, the Amazon Basin in the north and the Paraguay River Basin in the south will become new estuaries of the Atlantic Ocean; the Amazon Basin in the north and the Paraguay River Basin in the south will become new estuaries of the Atlantic Ocean; the Amazon Basin in the south will become a new estuary ... and the Paraguay River in the north will become new estuaries of the Atlantic Ocean; the Amazon Basin in the north and the Paraguay River in the south will become new estuaries of the Atlantic Ocean. Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina, the coastal areas of Uruguay, and most of Paraguay will be completely destroyed; the mountainous areas along the Caribbean coast and Central America will survive.
In Europe, London, England? This city will only leave historical memories; the beautiful Venice in Italy will be "reclaimed" by the Adriatic Sea; in this "script" of the great disaster drama thousands of years later, the Netherlands will be swallowed by the sea and most of Denmark will not exist; at the same time, the surging sea water of the eastern Mediterranean will overflow the Turkish Straits, causing the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea to expand significantly.
Africa is in the best condition. Unlike other continents, Africa's coastline seems to "survive"; however, the sharp rise in the earth's surface temperature makes Africa even more unsuitable for human habitation; the backflow of seawater in the southern Mediterranean will flood the two historic cities of Alexandria and Cairo in Egypt.
After that, Venice and Florida in the United States will also be flooded, large areas of plains will be flooded and become part of the ocean, and part of its highlands will become islands and be separated.
From this point of view, if this happens, most countries in the world will basically be finished! At that time, Black Manta can sweep the world with his army of death!
However, at present, in addition to the mountain copper, a little bit of something is needed as a trigger.
That is the blood of the Atlantis royal family to break the seal.
It was the king of Atlantis who led people to seal the entire Kingdom of Kodax, so to break the seal, the blood of the Atlantis royal family must be used to break the seal. At first, Black Manta was going to use the blood of Orm.
However, Black Manta later gave up this idea. Because if Orm is sacrificed, it will undoubtedly make Black Manta lose an excellent trump card. After all, Orm is familiar with everything about Atlantis, and he is undoubtedly an excellent trump card to deal with Atlantis. This raid on Atlantis is the best proof.
Don't forget that the biggest obstacle for him to melt the glaciers this time is not those land countries, but the Atlanteans. After all, they will be the first to be affected. Once the Antarctic glaciers melt, a large amount of fresh water will enter the ocean, which will immediately change the salinity of the seawater, which will cause many marine life to become extinct.
Even the Atlanteans would be destroyed because of this, so if there is a problem in Antarctica, the Atlanteans will definitely be the first to discover the problem. When the time comes to deal with them, Om will definitely be a useful card.
In addition, the only descendant of the Atlantis royal family is Atlanna... This raid was originally intended to capture the Queen of Atlantis, but as expected, they failed. This is also reasonable. That is the Queen of Atlantis. If she is so easy to be captured, then Black Manta does not need to worry about the Atlanteans.
But it doesn't matter, there is still one person!
Aquaman Arthur!
Coincidentally, he is also the enemy that Black Manta wants to avenge the most!
Catch him, sacrifice him directly, and use the blood of his enemy to start his world domination. Is there a more suitable candidate than this?
So the next step is to capture Arthur!
If it was before, Black Manta could only think about it, but now it is different.
Black Manta stroked the dark trident on his leg with fascination like Gollum. After he got this artifact, he became like Arthur, able to come and go freely in the water, with infinite strength, indestructible, and can use all kinds of black magic!
What reason does he have not to take revenge himself?
"Nick Fury! Go find Arthur Curry, I will use his blood to completely break the seal!"
Nick Fury was stunned, and then hesitantly said: "But... the intelligence network in my hands has disappeared, and SHIELD is also chasing me, I..."
Unfortunately, his new boss is just a pirate, he doesn't care about Nick Fury's life or death: "I only want Arthur Curry! I don't care about the others! Find him! I command you!!!"
Nick Fury's face became darker. Although he was controlled, his mind was still preserved. He could not disobey orders, and he felt extremely bitter.
"Yes..."
This time it's really dangerous!
...
Kai was also confused. After all, it was difficult for him to guess where Orm would go... They didn't know that Orm had capsized in the gutter. They thought that this time it was Orm who led the matter.
"Do you know what they are going to do with so much mountain copper?" Kai couldn't guess what Orm's next move was, so he asked Atlanna.
Atlanna looked very bad.
"I don't know... Speaking of which, I am a really bad mother. Om and I... I didn't even have time to get along. I don't know what he looks like, and I don't even know how he grew up."
This may be the first time that Atlanna reflected on herself like this.
She used to care most about her eldest son Arthur. She named him, and she even stayed with him for a year. So she was emotionally invested, and that was the fruit of her love with Tom Curry. She also always felt that it was very irresponsible for her to abandon Arthur and let him grow up in such an environment.
So she was thinking, how is Arthur living, has he been wronged? How is his food? Will he eat well? And so on.
And Om... To be honest, his birth was only accompanied by compromise and hatred. And Atlanna subconsciously felt that he lived in the palace and didn't need to worry at all.
But now think about it, how ruthless and irresponsible this is.
