"The Valley of the Wind" animated movie
It was not until the third year after the comics began to be serialized, that is, in 1984, the animated movie "The Valley of the Wind" directed by Hayao Miyazaki was officially released in Japan.
After the animated movie, the comic serialization of "The Valley of the Wind" continued to be updated for ten years until it ended in 1994.
The animated film of "The Valley of the Wind" actually only displays the first two volumes of the original comic.
Valley of the Wind
In the original comic book of "Gulf of the Wind", a wasteland world is built after war and disaster.
civilization collapsed on the surface, and was then covered by a new ecosystem called "Ful Sea" .
The remaining humans can only survive on a small area of wasteland surrounded by "Ful Sea ".
"Fuhai" new ecosystem
So, what is the truth about "Fuhai" in the original work of the "Wind Valley" comic?
What mysterious settings does it have in the story?
The emergence of "Sea of Corruption"
When human civilization reaches its peak after thousands of years, it slides towards the decline of depriving the earth of resources, destroying the environment, and arbitrarily transforming life.
Finally one day, the entire continent became a barren land in the war called "Seven Days of Fire".
"Gao of Wind" story background
At this time, a new ecosystem quickly appeared on the wasteland polluted by the war - "Fuhai ". Why is
called "Fuhai "? It is because it swept and spread the continent like the tide of the sea, and it will also release a toxic " miasma ".
Since humans cannot survive in this "miasma", the remaining space for humans to move is getting smaller and smaller.
"Sea of Fructus" distribution map
Although there is a lot of "mias" in "Sea of Fructus ", some special fungi plants and insects can survive in it.
"Sea of Rotten" has a huge size and a large basic number. They will continue to flow to the wide land and bring spores of fungi plants grown in "Sea of Frost" here.
Insects and plants in the "Sea of Rotten"
These plant spores can be implanted in new areas. They will use insect corpses as nutrients to quickly grow mycelium.
Mycelium then develops into roots, then sprouts and branches, and eventually forms a huge fungal plant body - "worm and grain wood".
and "Insect Grain Wood" itself is also the food source for insects .
The formation of insects and grain trees
So insects are not only a carrier for spreading spores of fungi plants, but also feed on fungi plants. After death, they will also turn into nutrients for the growth and reproduction of fungi plants. A complementary symbiotic relationship has been formed between
.
Under the action of fungi plants, a new "sea of rot" will soon form . The expansion range of the sea of corruption is getting bigger and bigger.
Faced with the continuous compression of living space, humans will naturally not sit still and wait for death. They have been trying to use various methods to destroy "Sea of Corruption" .
But whenever the ecosystem of "Sea of Fructus" is hit, the insects living in it will fight back against humans due to threats.
Giant insects counterattack against humans
The number of insects is too large. Their counterattack momentum is so fierce that it makes it difficult for humans to resist.
Insects will surgingly impact the human territory and carry the spores here again, resulting in the generation of new "Sea of Corruption" .
insect swarm
"Sea of Fructus" swept the land on a large scale, also known as "Tsunami" . It has the power to swallow a country's civilization in an instant.
According to the description in the comics, the most recent recorded "Tsunami" occurred in a powerful country called Everdaru three hundred years ago.
Everdaru Civilization
At that time, Everdaru broke out in a civil war because of the battle for royal power, and its troops began to compete to acquire Kingworm carapaces with hard texture as weapons material.
and this king insect , is the most important giant insect led by "Sea of Frost" . Their carapace has super high hardness.
So, the greedy humans began to hunt down the king insects on a large scale.
wangworm
The result of killing kingworms indiscriminately triggered a backlash from the "Sea of Fructus" system.
The revengeful king insect swarm carries spores of fungi plants, rushing towards Everdaru like a "big tsunami" and swallowing it.
Finally, the corpses of the king insects entrenched on the earth were used as the seedling beds. The spores of the fungi plant quickly spread and reproduced, and the entire continent quickly turned into "sea of rot" .
This is also one of the microcosms of the past struggle between human civilization and "Sea of Corruption" .
The truth about "Fuhai"
In the later stage of the comic story, the truth about "Fuhai" finally slowly surfaced.
has a toxic "miasma" and constantly erodes human territory. It is actually an artificial ecosystem that purifies the world.
When the world once became an unrecoverable wasteland, the human population who mastered high-tech civilization at that time designed a method that could crystallize toxic pollutants and stabilize them so that the wasteland world could be purified and reborn.
Therefore, the artificial "Sea of Frost" system came into being.
"Ful Sea" system came into being
The entire "Ful Sea" system is designed to be an ecosystem that can restore the barren land to its original state as long as it takes thousands of years to complete the purification target, and will automatically disappear once it completes the purification target.
The toxic pollutants on the wasteland will be absorbed by "Sea of Fructus" . At the same time, "Sea of Fructus" purifies toxins and excretes miasma, and finally sandsizes and disappears.
"Sea of Fructus" system
Currently, in the depths of "Sea of Fructus" , the water source has become clear, the green plants are reborn again, and the air has become fresh.
This also proves the feasibility of the artificial purification system of "Ful Sea" .
"Sea of Fructus"
Humans and "Sea of Fructus"
Although the "Sea of Fructus" system can completely purify the entire world, ironically, humans on the wasteland can no longer coexist with the purified world.
Because humans once received group transformation in order to temporarily survive on polluted wasteland.
. These humans who have been transformed and can adapt to polluted environments, their physical functions can no longer adapt to the new world purified by "sea of corruptedness" .
So once "Sea of Fructus" completes its purification mission and fades, the current human beings will also perish with the disappearance of "Sea of Fructus" .
Biologies have been transformed
As for the future survival of human beings, the author Hayao Miyazaki also gave the answer at the end of the comic:
Life will be on the dark road, looking for light by itself.
