Cordillera Island Chain?
Shen Feng raised an eyebrow. He had heard of the Cordillera Range.
The entire Cordillera Range ran through North and South America. It could be called the longest mountain range in the world.
It seemed the Cordillera Range had completely sunk beneath the sea, with only some peaks still above the surface, forming an island chain.
The Cordillera Range was essentially the highest geological formation in North and South America. Its average elevation had been over two thousand meters, while its highest peaks stood more than four thousand meters above sea level.
Since the range's tallest peaks could still rise above the ocean, Shen Feng had roughly calculated how much the sea level had risen.
More than two thousand meters.
In other words, the ocean had somehow gained more than two thousand meters of depth, and virtually the entire Americas had been completely submerged.
San Francisco, where he had been before, had stood just over fifty meters above sea level. Now, it lay two or three thousand meters beneath the ocean.
That was fucking terrifying...
The rise in sea level far exceeded Shen Feng's previous estimates. He had thought a rise of dozens or even a hundred meters would be the limit. Now, it seemed it was far more than that.
But did Earth even have that much water?
Where had all this water come from?
He instantly recalled a lyric from the pirates' funeral song:
"The ship that bears the world has sprung a hole."
Could all this extra water have come from the spatial wormholes beneath the sea?
But if that were true, it still did not quite make sense.
After all, there had been no sign of water in the galaxy where UY Scuti was located, which he had seen through the spatial wormhole.
