Chapter 207: The Farthest Point Nemo in the World! Which is the Loneliest Country?
A new day, a new sky appears.
【The most remote place in the world. 】
【Far beyond your imagination! 】
[It is very far away from all land. It is the most remote place in the world where even fish can hardly survive.]
In ancient times, the phrase "the ends of the earth" was often used to describe a place that was far away.
And what is said on the sky curtain, the most remote place in the world?
It also instantly aroused the curiosity of the ancient people.
In particular, many ancient emperors thought that if there really was a place that was so far away that it could be the farthest place in the world.
So that place.
It must be very suitable for exiling prisoners.
Exile people you dislike.
Song.
Su Shi saw the sky and said it was the farthest place in the world.
He thought again of his current fate of exile.
He couldn't help but say self-deprecatingly:
"I don't know how far away the farthest place in the world is. Why don't you exile me there too? It will help me broaden my horizons."
[This most remote place in the world is located on the vast Pacific Ocean. 】
【This location is called Point Nemo.】
【Located in the South Pacific. 】
[The specific coordinates are 48 degrees 52.6 minutes south latitude and 123 degrees 23.6 minutes west longitude. ]
[This place is named after Captain Nemo, a character from 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. ]
【Why is it called the most remote place in the world? 】
【Because it is too far away from all the land! 】
[To the west of Point Nemo is New Zealand, which is about 4,800 kilometers away from Point Nemo.]
[The south side of Point Nemo is the Antarctic continent, which is more than 3,200 kilometers away.]
[To the north of Point Nemo are two Pacific islands, Ducie Island and Easter Island.]
[It is also more than 2,600 kilometers away from Point Nemo. ]
[From the world map, we can see that Point Nemo is very far away from all the surrounding land. ]
【Nature is also far away from the world where humans live. 】
[Point Nemo is not only remote, but also extremely dangerous. ]
[The scariest thing is that the area around Point Nemo is not only uninhabited by humans, but there aren't even many fish! ]
[This is because Point Nemo is located in the waters surrounded by the South Pacific Gyre, where the winds and waves are extremely strong and rough. ]
[The lack of organic matter means that microorganisms are lacking in nutrients. ]
[Even basic nutrition providers are lacking.]
[Naturally, it cannot support more advanced fish species.]
[The South Pacific Ocean around Point Nemo has become a restricted area for life.]
[The entire South Pacific Gyre region is sparsely populated by life.]
[There are only a few species of bacteria that can survive under the sea.]
[So Point Nemo and the surrounding South Pacific waters are also called the desert in the ocean to describe its desolation. ]
[The most valuable thing about this desert in the ocean for humans is probably that there is no land around it.]
[You can throw the wreckage of various spacecraft into the area of Point Nemo without any worries! ]
The sky screen video ends here.
This is a very short science video.
However, it provides a relatively unsung piece of knowledge that has sparked discussions among both modern audiences and ancient people.
"Danmu: The Pacific Ocean Returns to Ruins?"
"The closest human being to Point Nemo is the space station in space."
"Put up a sign: I miss you at Nemo Point."
"The wind that misses you still blows to Point Nemo."
"I buried all of ONE PIECE there!"
"Fortunately, I'm a sports student, so I can still swim back and forth."
"Oh my god, my elementary school classmate lives here!"
"Point Nemo is now a space junk dump. Do you live in a junk dump?" "What does 5-star scientist MacArthur say?"
And the Song Dynasty.
Su Shi saw that Point Nemo was farther away than he had imagined.
Ye Bu De sighed: "There is nothing on the seabed, no living creatures, no wind, and the sea water is not flowing... The more I think about it, the more terrifying it becomes."
"It's better not to be exiled to such a faraway place."
And the new canopy.
It is the country closest to Point Nemo, with a distance of only more than 4000 kilometers.
New Zealand!
This is the loneliest country in the world.
【The nearest neighboring country is 1600 kilometers away. 】
[It is truly on the edge of human civilization, but it has a beautiful environment and extremely high per capita income. ]
【This lonely country is New Zealand. 】
【New Zealand is located in the southeast of Australia, with an area of about 27 square kilometers and a population of 522 million. 】
【It is mainly composed of two large islands, the South Island and the North Island of New Zealand. 】
[New Zealand's closest neighbor is Australia, which is 1600 kilometers away.]
[To the south is Antarctica, to the east is the Pacific Ocean, and to the north are Fiji and Tonga. ]
[To travel from New Zealand to any country, you need to cross the vast ocean, which is why New Zealand is known as the most remote country in the world. 】
【New Zealand has a temperate maritime climate, with seasons opposite to those in the Northern Hemisphere.】
【New Zealand is mountainous with narrow plains. Mountains and hills account for more than 75% of the country's area. 】
[The North Island has many volcanoes and hot springs, while the South Island has a more complex terrain. Its Mount Cook is 3764 meters above sea level, the highest peak in the country.]
[The river is short and turbulent, making navigation inconvenient, but the hydropower resources are relatively abundant, and the country relies mainly on hydropower for power generation. ]
【New Zealand has excellent natural conditions such as climate, and is a high-quality natural pasture. 】
[Agricultural and animal husbandry product exports account for about 50% of the total exports, with mutton and dairy product exports ranking first in the world and wool exports ranking third in the world. ]
[In general, New Zealand has a mild climate suitable for human habitation and beautiful scenery. ]
【With its unique natural conditions and good government governance, New Zealand is a highly developed modern country with a per capita GDP of $4.7.】
Ancient people watched this video which popularized geographical knowledge.
At the same time, analysis is also carried out based on the content.
tomorrow.
Zhu Di concluded: "It seems that New Zealand is a country with a vast land area and a sparse population."
“And the natural conditions are very favorable.”
"I wonder if Zheng He could send a detachment to set up an outpost there?"
"I don't know which country is ruling New Zealand during my time here."
The sky screen tells the geography of New Zealand.
Next, we began to talk about the cultural history of New Zealand.
[There were no humans in New Zealand before the 10th century AD.]
[After the 10th century, the Maori people from the Pacific and Southeast Asia discovered and migrated to New Zealand in primitive wooden canoes.]
【The Maori people live a peaceful life in New Zealand.】
[It was not until 1642 that Dutch navigators first discovered New Zealand and named the place New Holland.]
[Later it was changed to New Zealand.]
[The Dutch tried to colonize New Zealand, but the local Maori were so martial that the Dutch failed to land.]
[It was not until 1769 that British colonists broke in, occupied New Zealand, and began to immigrate to New Zealand in large numbers.]
[In the 19th century, there were many wars between the local Maori and the British colonists, but all ended in failure.]
【New Zealand officially becomes a British colony.】
[In 1947, New Zealand declared independence but remained a member of the Commonwealth.]
Ancient people saw that New Zealand was also a colonial country.
They all frowned.
After all, even the ancients knew the great shortcomings and virtues of those Western colonizers.
But at this time, many barrages appeared.
This made Zhu Di very puzzled.
