Works by the famous French writer Jules Verne. It is a science fiction novel by Jules Verne, and it is also a caricature depicting the "American way of life". For readers who like Verne's works, this book is worth reading. Four French performers experienced various chances and coincidences and came to Standard Island, an artificial island funded by American capitalists. The shell of this machine island is entirely made of steel and iron. It has two million-horsepower propellers and can roam the Pacific Ocean at will. The center of Machine Island is a completely modern city - Billion City. The city has all kinds of facilities and its residents are all wealthy Americans. They settled here in pursuit of a comfortable life of music. Four French performers were obsessed with this "paradise"-like machine island. However, the rivalry between the two major families on the island kept the island shrouded in crisis. During this period, it was attacked by Malay pirates. In the end, the machine island was besieged internally and externally, fell apart, and sank into the ocean. American capitalists whimsically built a mobile island seven kilometers long and five kilometers wide out of steel as their retreat. The island is flanked by powerful propulsion machines that allow it to roam the ocean. There is an electrified and scientific city in the center of the island. Except for some service personnel, the people who live in this city are all wealthy people on annuities. When they speak, they say "millions", so this city is also called "Billion City". These rich people live a life of idleness here, pursuing extremely luxurious enjoyment. Even the newspaper is a kind of pancake with chocolate writing on it. After reading it, it is eaten as breakfast. In short, this is a paradise for rich people. However, the good times did not last long, and the increasingly acute conflicts among the capitalists became the source of the island's destruction. One day, the two most powerful capitalist groups on the island finally broke up due to their struggle for power. They each owned a machine and drove in opposite directions. The man-made island was finally torn into pieces under the strong pulling force and sank to the depths of the seabed.

Why did the Ming Dynasty collapse in the mid-17th century after lasting for 276 years? From the unique perspective of climate history, Sinologist Professor Bu Zhengmin demonstrated how the extreme environment of the Little Ice Age broke through the empire's survival threshold, providing a new perspective in addition to the traditional narrative of "Chongzhen's lack of ability and the Manchus' southward movement leading to the collapse of the Ming Dynasty". Around the 14th century, the climate in the northern hemisphere began to turn colder, reaching its peak in the 17th century. In these three centuries, intermittent dry and cold weather and the persistent dry and cold climate around the 1640s gradually destroyed the agricultural foundation of the Ming Dynasty, causing it to slide from local famine in the Yongle period to the collapse of the national food system in the Chongzhen period. Professor Bu Zhengmin used a large number of private account books, local chronicles, notes and other materials to quantitatively analyze the soaring food prices and the soaring cost of survival, fully presenting the Ming people's feelings about the living environment, commodity prices (especially food prices), etc., As well as the difficulties of people's lives under climate change. The book is logically rigorous and advances layer by layer, demonstrating the impact of climate change on the Ming Dynasty regime. The author believes that climate often sets the limits of people's lives. If there is not enough food to feed everyone, it will at least trigger an economic and social crisis, and probably a political crisis. This understanding has far-reaching implications for understanding the fragility of pre-modern countries and the impact of climate fluctuations on countries.
