Before humans invented television, the characters in his novels were able to watch the video news; before humans had built airplanes, the characters in his novels flew helicopters back and forth; before humans had even embarked on the lunar landing project, the characters in his novels were already sitting in a large cannonball and being fired onto the moon by a giant cannon-------
This man was Jules Verne, a famous 19th-century French science fiction adventure novelist who wrote many science fiction novels, most of which science fiction has become a reality. As a result, he is known as the "prophet of the age of science" and the "father of modern science fantasy novels".
"Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" is his masterpiece.
Today, I will lead you into "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" and board the submarine Nautilus piloted by Captain Nemo to travel around the underwater world.
Let's first look at the food, clothing, and shelter on the Nautilus submarine!
The crew wore shellfish-footed silk-woven clothing. The lining is made of luminous, silky soft fibers that are soft and warm and can also be used as socks and gloves. Cotton, wool and silk on land are not needed to dress inexpensive clothes. Then use the classical tripping red to mix the purple color taken from the Mediterranean sea hare, and you can dye a very elegant and beautiful color. The spices on the dressing table in the cabin are extracted from seafood plants. The sleeping bed is made of the softest and large-leaf seaweed in the sea. The pen used is the tentacles of whales, and the ink is the juice secreted by cuttlefish or squid. Even the cigars smoked are made from kelp rich in nicotine.
The cabin is decorated with the most beautiful beads, sparks of stars illuminated by electric light, rose red beads, cyan beads, yellow beads, blue beads, black beads, etc. Some were larger than pigeon eggs, and they were worth more than the pearl that the traveler D'Dinea sold to the king of Persia for three million dollars, and each string of pearls was worth a fortune.
The crew ate delicious moray turtle rumps, dolphin livers, and cream cakes. The milk of the cream cake is milked from the nipples of whales, the sugar is extracted from a kind of sea algae in the Arctic Sea, and the jam of autumn peony is really sweet. There is also the soup made of the most delicious sea turtle, the white meat of the thinly sliced sea carp and the liver of the carp, and the inner slices of a plate of golden silk fish taste better than salmon meat.
A variety of dishes, such as fish, sea cucumbers, and delicious insects, make a taoist feast. In addition, there are seaweed plants that are easy to digest, such as green and red seaweed, bitter milky seaweed, etc. The drink is synthesized with water and enzyme wine, which is brewed from palm-shaped rosacea.
Let's take another look at the magical underwater world and walk out of the cabin and walk on the bottom of the sea.
The undersea beach is thin, flat and bright, and the rocks on the seabed are covered with the most beautiful variety of plants and insects. The flowers, stones, plants, shells, corals, oranges, yellow, green, blue, and purple on the seabed resemble colorful kaleidoscopes.
The cyan sea woman, the sea fish with double black lines, the goby with purple and red spots on the back, the beautiful finfish with blue and silvery white head, the brilliant blue glazed fish, the striped gill with blue or yellow fins, the line gills with a black belt on the tail, the beautiful line gills wrapped in six belts, the flute-like flute fish, the one-meter sea quail, the Japanese fire snake, the spiny eel, the six-foot long snake with small and vivid eyes and sharp teeth in the large mouth, and so on.
What an amazing underwater world!
Let's get to know Captain Nemo again!
Captain Nemo was originally a prince of India, who had studied in many European countries, could speak many Chinese, designed, built and piloted the "Nautilus" submarine, and traveled to almost every corner of the ocean.
But his own homeland has long been occupied by British colonists, his relatives and people have been innocently killed, he chose to retreat to the sea after the failure of the rebellion, he would rather be buried in the coral grave in the depths of the sea for a long time, rather than be ruthlessly oppressed and enslaved by the colonizers. The intense hatred of the colonists made Captain Nemo's heart twist and deform, and the beautiful sea could not soothe his painful heart.
He becomes cold, cruel, and unkind, and beneath the surface of his justice hides the soul of an outright cruel Avenger. He forced others to do what he wanted to do, blowing up the battleship. It seemed brutal, and he led the crew to sink one battleship after another; he personally created a massacre and watched with his own eyes as the exploding battleships and the victims above sank to the bottom of the sea little by little. He has gone from a daunting man of justice to an outright cruel avenger. Yet after the revenge, his chest swelled up from his sobbing cry, and his mournful voice: "Almighty God!" That's enough! That's enough! "There is a weak heart hidden under the seemingly cold exterior, and his inner world and spiritual pursuits are not understood, until Professor Aronnax appears, and Captain Nemo's spiritual world has a soul mate.
Captain Nemo, on the other hand, had a heart of generosity and fraternity, and a noble spirit of dedication to humanity.
At the bottom of the sea pearling field, when the pearl divers were facing death threats, Captain Nemo "stood up in spite of himself, rushed straight to the shark with a dagger, and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the shark", rescued the pearl diver and gave the poor pearl with a pocket full of pearls; he asked Professor Aronnax to treat his seriously injured subordinates, and captain Nemo, who faced the dead sailor, left tears in sorrow and held a solemn funeral for him in the coral kingdom; when the Nautilus encountered a minke whale and was attacked by a large whale, Captain Nemo decisively ordered the attack on the big head whale; repaid tens of billions of national debts for France; gave millions of gold to the poor; in the absence of oxygen in Antarctica, when there was only a trace of air in the piggy bank on the diving suit, they almost collapsed, it was Captain Nemo who gave up the last shred of air and left his life to the professor, who sacrificed his own life for the lives of others... All kinds of behaviors show his love for the suffering people.
He lived in an underwater world, detached from the life of secular society, but Captain Nemo still cared with love for the people of the oppressed countries. He regularly handed over chests containing gold and silver treasures to fixed contacts to provide material assistance to the colonial people in their resistance struggles. He is still grieving over human suffering, and He is merciful to all who are enslaved. As Nemo said to Aronnax: "I am on the side of the oppressed people, and as long as I am alive, I will always be on the side of the people of the oppressed countries!" Captain Nemo, who struggled between love and hate, mercy and revenge, was contradictory and painful, and the root cause of this suffering was the ruthless oppression and enslavement of the colonists.
Captain Nemo was a hero of anti-colonialism and anti-imperialism in the writer's mind. He chose his ideal kingdom, the underwater world, to escape the evil of human society, but eventually self-destruction caused by hatred. The writer used the image of Captain Nemo to condemn the colonial war and its evils heavily, which is still of great practical significance to read today.
