I watched Er Chuang’s short video, and everything went numb!

[People travel for the sake of novelty, excitement, and to broaden their horizons and turn their unique experiences into topics of conversation. ]

[For the wealthy who have money and spare time, they are tired of islands like the Maldives, and the bright and bustling cities are not attractive. They cannot become topics of conversation in the circle, so they can only do more unique projects. ]

[Therefore, adventure tourism has become popular among the rich. ]

……

Many ancient people in the past dynasties now understand a little.

The rich people mentioned above actually spent money and risked their lives out of this mentality.

For this point.

These ancient people could not understand it at all, but were shocked.

……

[Adventure tourism can be divided into many levels according to the degree of danger. ]

[Entry-level, generally go to places that are not fully developed. ]

[This undeveloped does not refer to deep mountains and jungles. 】

[These are not unique enough for the rich. The place they want to go is even more hostile, that is: Antarctica. 】

……

"Hiss! You are really not afraid of death!"

Many ancient people from all dynasties were shocked instantly.

What is the situation in Antarctica? They have already had a full understanding of it in previous videos.

It is an extremely dangerous place!

How come these rich people go there to travel?

These ancient people can't understand it at all.

……

[In the early years, polar tours usually took tourists to take a boat around the outer edge of the polar region, take pictures of the scenery, see penguins and seals, and then go back. 】

[Except for the possibility of shipwreck, it is not too dangerous. 】

[As the price and threshold of polar tours become lower and lower, and the number of tourists increases, the rich are not happy, and they began to turn their attention to the interior of Antarctica. 】

[A company has built a camp in the inland to receive tourists. It is open only four times a year, with a maximum of 12 seats each time, and the starting price is about RMB 600,000 per person. 】

[The most expensive package costs 1.43 million, which includes polar camping, cold naked swimming, expedition hiking, ice cave exploration and other projects. 】

[If you are willing to pay more, you can also change to a small plane and fly to the South Pole for 7 hours. 】

[After paying this huge sum of money, you can become one of the few people in the world who has seen the scenery of the inland Antarctic. 】

……

"It's so expensive!"

Many ancient people in all dynasties were shocked again.

And.

They became more and more confused.

Spending so much money to travel to such a dangerous place just to have more things to talk about, isn't this a sick thing?

"Most of the wealthy people in later generations are mentally ill."

Many ancient people complained in their hearts.

……

[Only 1.1% of Antarctic tourists actually reach the inland, and the number of tourists who can check in at the South Pole is no more than 100 per year.. 】

[You have become one of the few people in the world who has to face the cruelty of Antarctica. 】

[The Antarctic continent is the coldest, driest and windiest place in the world. 】

[Ultra-low temperatures of minus 60 degrees and strong winds of more than level 8 are common here. 】

[Lack of oxygen and snow blindness will follow one after another. Tourists can live safely in the camp, thank God. 】

[As for naked swimming and hiking, it is purely a challenge to the limit of the body. 】

[If you have an accident or get sick, you can only pray that the plane that takes you back to the civilized world for rescue can fly faster. 】

[But then again, planes are not actually safe here. 】

[In 1979, a sightseeing airliner crashed into a mountain because the pilot was temporarily blinded by polar weather, killing all 257 people on board. 】

……

"Antarctica is really an extremely dangerous place!"

Looking at the wreckage of the plane on the giant screen in the sky, many ancient people from all dynasties could not help but sigh in their hearts.

They remembered that according to the previous Antarctic scientific expedition video, even those scientific expedition teams that were strongly supported by the country and provided with various guarantees by the country would encounter various dangers in Antarctica.

Not to mention these civilian tourist teams.

It is normal to have some accidents.

……

[In short, if you go to Antarctica and come back safely, when you get together with the rich circle, talking about the various suicidal behaviors in the polar region will definitely become the focus of the dinner table. 】

……

"Only a madman would go to Antarctica to risk his life for a little limelight."

Many ancient people from all dynasties shook their heads.

……

[Unless, among your friends there are players who are more willing to die. ]

……

Hearing this.

Many ancient people in the past dynasties were shocked.

Only then did they remember that such a dangerous trip to the Antarctic was only the entry level of adventure tourism.

"What are the higher-level adventure tourism?"

Many ancient people were very curious.

……

[Compared with the entry level, the middle-level adventure tourism may not cost much, but the risk factor is definitely increased, and it can even be said to be left to fate. ]

[For example, the storm chasing trip mentioned in the opening of the video in the United States. ]

[The central region of the United States is affected by the terrain and climate, and is very prone to destructive tornadoes, known as the Tornado Alley. ]

[Tour guides are usually experienced and can evacuate guests from the tornado path in time. 】

【However, it is difficult to predict the wind with 100% accuracy. 】

【Last May, a sightseeing bus was hit by a tornado because it was too close. 】

【The strong wind of 225 kilometers per hour directly blew away the windshield and car windows. Fortunately, the tourists were only slightly injured. 】

【But some people are not so lucky. In 2013, aA sightseeing bus was thrown hundreds of meters away by the tornado, and all the tourists were killed. 】

……

"Ah."

Looking at the wreckage of the accident on the giant screen, many ancient people from all dynasties sighed in their hearts.

When they saw this tourist project in the opening, they felt that it was extremely dangerous and they would die if they were not careful.

Now it seems that it is true.

"These people are really sick in the brain."

Many ancient people cursed in their hearts.

Even, they felt that these people's final death was also their own fault and did not deserve sympathy.

……

[Since we have left it to fate, should we also listen to the earth? ]

[The extremely unstable active volcano has become the only choice for this project. ]

[High emotional intelligence: appreciate the rolling magma up close and feel the process of landform formation. 】

[Low EQ: If you happen to encounter a volcanic eruption, you will become part of the earth. 】

[In 2019, the activity of the White Island volcano increased. The sightseeing company ignored the warning and continued to take people up the mountain. As a result, the volcano suddenly erupted, killing 22 people. 】

[Some of the victims were even missing, and many tourists were severely burned by volcanic ash. 】

……

Video images of the volcanic eruption appeared on the high-altitude giant screen.

The hot magma gushed out from the center of the earth, like a surging tide, rushing down from a high place, burning the earth.

The sky was also filled with rolling volcanic ash and smoke.

Looking at such a terrifying scene, the ancient people of all dynasties were stunned in an instant.

Such a dangerous place, these people dare to travel?

It can only be said that these people died without injustice.

……

[If getting started depends on spending money, and advancing depends on not fearing death, then top adventure tourism is for dual-cultivation players. ]

[Let the rich spend a fortune and die a big death. ]

[Taking a sightseeing submarine to the deep sea is one of the options. ]

[We have mentioned the example of the Titanic sightseeing project at the beginning. ]

[The Titanic wreck is located at a depth of about 4,000 meters on the seabed, which is already terrifying enough. ]

[There are more exciting projects of this type, taking a submarine directly into the deepest known ocean in human history, the Mariana Trench, which is more than 10,000 meters deep. ]

……

“Ten thousand meters underwater!”

Many ancient people in all dynasties were shocked, and they were also very curious about what it would be like to be more than 10,000 meters underwater.

……

[In April 2020, a company launched a Mariana Trench check-in project, offering a price of $750,000, equivalent to about 5.4 million Dragon Coins per person. Only three places are available each time, first come first served. ]

[At the time of the project launch, only 4 people in the world had reached the deepest part of the trench, which is less than the number of people who landed on the moon. In terms of unique experience, it can be said to be unbeatable. ]

[Although the company claims that the submarine is made of solid titanium alloy, it canSafety is guaranteed, but this thing is still an experimental product and has not undergone long-term testing. 】

[Once it is damaged or malfunctions, the pressure in the trench can still crush it, and the passengers have no escape route. 】

[You may not have a clear idea of ​​what this means. Let's compare it with ordinary military submarines. The diving depth is only about 600 meters. If it goes down further, it will break. 】

[The deep-sea submersible "Jiaolong" independently developed by my country can only reach a sea trial depth of 7 kilometers. Only the Struggler, which integrates the country's high-tech and has the most advanced level, can carry people into the Mariana Trench. 】

[There is only one such ship in the huge Dragon Country, and it is currently in an experimental state and does not involve commercial tourism. 】

……

"Does anyone really dare to go there?" (To read the exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

After reading these introductions, many ancient people from all dynasties expressed doubts.

Longguo is such a big country, but it only has one submersible that can reach the Mariana Trench.

How can a company make a safe and reliable submersible?

It is possible that it was made by primitive methods.

If it really goes there, half of the people will die. []

Spending millions to die, even a mentally ill lunatic would think twice about it.

……

[Let's talk about accident rescue. ]

[Once a nuclear submarine of the Eagle Sauce Country accidentally exceeded the depth limit, and the submarine disintegrated before it could even send a distress signal, killing 129 people. ]

[To put it bluntly, if you go to the 10,000-meter-deep trench for sightseeing, you will definitely die if an accident occurs. ]

[Search and rescue are more of a formal humanitarian concern. ]

……

See here.

Many ancient people in all dynasties have confirmed it again.

This is definitely not a tourist attraction, it is just to die.

……

[Whether it is the dangers of Antarctica, the seabed, or the lethality of tornadoes and volcanoes, the rich should know better than us. ]

[The rich should have heard of various accidents, but they are still keen to spend huge sums of money on adventure travel and test the edge of death. ]

[We ordinary people are busy living every day, experiencing the reality of life all the time. ]

[And the rich who no longer have to worry about firewood, rice, oil and salt, may only be able to experience the reality of living when they are closer to death. ]

……

Many ancient people in all dynasties could not understand the ideas of these rich people at all.

They don’t understand what is the "real feeling of living", they just think these rich people are sick.

……

On the giant screen in the sky.

The video is refreshed.

A new video appears.

[How difficult is it to monopolize one's own mother river like China? ]

……

After this line of big words, there is aPreface.

……

[Since ancient times, rivers have been like a huge vein, shuttling between the earth, injecting vitality and vigor into human civilization. ]

[These grand water systems, their trickles and surging waves, are witnessing every chapter of history, and have also become the birthplace and core of major civilizations. ]

[Our Chinese civilization is the Yellow River, known as the "Mother River", and the winding Yangtze River, which were born together. ]

……

Many ancient people in all dynasties nodded.

As ancient people living in an agricultural society, they knew the importance of rivers too well.

In ancient times, rivers not only provided enough water for daily life, but also provided necessary water sources for agriculture and transportation.

……

[However, such advantages are not available to all countries. 】

[Globally, it is extremely rare for a country like China to own the entire Mother River and be able to manage and utilize resources without external interference. 】

[Looking at the world, there are only four countries, including China, that can monopolize at least one of the world's great rivers. The other three are the United States, the Bear Country, and the Maple Leaf Country. 】

[Most other countries have to share the Mother River with other neighboring countries. 】

The bullet screen flew out:

"We Chinese completely own two of the world's top ten rivers!"

"However, a little bit of the Mississippi River in Eagle Sauce Country is in the Maple Leaf Country. Although not much, it is indeed in the territory. Strictly speaking, it is not exclusive."

"The Bear Country actually only owns the Lena River. The Ob River and the Yenisei River are not completely exclusive."

"The length, flow, and basin area of ​​the Mackenzie River in the Maple Leaf Country are not among the top ten in the world. It can only be considered a river."

"Hey, isn't the Ganges River in India exclusive?"

"Reply-No, a section is in Bangladesh."

"..."

Many ancient people from all dynasties looked at the giant screen in the sky, and they couldn't help but feel a strong sense of pride in their hearts.

"China is blessed by nature!"

According to the description on the giant screen, China has two world-class rivers, which is completely unique.

This naturally made the ancients very proud.

……

[Take the Nile River for example. This 6,650-kilometer-long river flows through 10 countries, but Egypt can only enjoy 1,530 kilometers of it. ]

[Look at the Euphrates River. The basin area is about 44 square kilometers, but Iraq only accounts for 46%. ]

[And it is precisely this situation that has caused many countries to fight for water resources. ]

[In 1959, Egypt and Sudan, which are located in the lower reaches of the Nile, signed the "Waters Agreement" in advance, stipulating that Egypt can only take 55.5 billion cubic meters of water from the Nile, and Sudan can take 18.5 billion.The rest is left to the upstream countries.]

[How much Nile water does this agreement leave for the eight upstream countries? Only 13% of the total.]

[Then why can Egypt and Sudan, as downstream countries, take away nine-tenths of the river water?]

……

Many ancient people in the past dynasties felt that this distribution plan was indeed unfair to the eight downstream countries.

They estimated that the eight downstream countries would not accept such a plan.

Da Ming Hongwu plane.

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head.

He believed that the agreement signed between Egypt and Sudan was not of much significance.

The eight upstream countries would definitely not agree to such a disadvantageous plan, and Egypt and Sudan, as downstream countries, did not have the ability to enforce the agreement.

As long as the eight upstream countries directly built dams, they could intercept the water they wanted.

In other words, the upstream countries naturally have the initiative in this matter and can decide how to distribute the water, but the downstream countries cannot decide.

Unless the downstream countries directly use force to defeat the upstream countries.

……

[Soon, Ethiopia issued a statement, claiming that any country has the right to freely build dams within its territory. ]

[In this way, several countries in the Nile River basin became a mess. You grab water, I grab water, you build dams, I build them. ]

[Even though Egypt threatened with force many times, the eight upstream countries did not give in. They united and signed the "Nile Cooperation Framework Agreement" in 2010, demanding a reasonable distribution of the Nile River water. ]

[Ethiopia even publicly announced in the second year that it would build a "millennium dam" in the upper reaches of the Nile River, clearly wanting to confront Egypt and Sudan. 】

……

“As expected.”

Many ancient people in all dynasties were not surprised by this.

For upstream countries, building dams is the most direct way to fight back. .
