"So, you're starting school?"
Lin Tuo asked.
It is in a declarative tone.
Li Tai is an office worker, but Jiang Yishan is still a student. Well, I already knew this when I first brought her in.
Lin Tuo also knew that she was a graduate student of Wucheng University, the number one institution of higher learning in Wucheng City next door, and she was in her second year of graduate school.
The basic courses have been read, and the rest is to listen to the arrangement of the instructor.
Originally, the university had already started in September, and she should have returned to school long ago.
But unfortunately, Tucker's black box came, and Jiang Yishan's mentor, a professor from Wucheng University, also went to the Tucker Desert Research Team through some channels.
This has been delayed until now.
The students like Jiang Yishan have nothing to do, and no one cares about them at all. In addition to the cultivation in Yangcheng, they don't want to move anymore, and they haven't gone back until now.
"Well, the tutor seems to have finished the research over there for the time being and came back, so I have to go back to Wucheng tomorrow at the latest... If I go to Wucheng, can I still contact you?"
Jiang Yishan asked seriously.
Hearing this, Lin Tuo subconsciously wanted to look at the evolution sand table beside him, but he held back, nodded with a smile, and said:
"Of course."
"That's good." Jiang Yishan seemed to be relieved, and looked at him with more respect. She was somewhat worried at first, for fear that the power of "Taihe Zhenren" would not be able to cover Wucheng.
After all, judging from previous clues, the sphere of influence of "Taihe Zhenren" has always been limited to the vicinity of Yangcheng.
Now that she heard Lin Tuo's answer, she let go of her hanging heart immediately, and then marveled in her heart, thinking to herself that the immortal cultivator in front of her was indeed stronger than she imagined.
What she didn't know was that at this moment, Lin Tuo was full of joy:
"Fortunately, you are going to Wucheng. It just happened to be lit up last night... It was included in the observation range, otherwise, it would be quite embarrassing."
…
After finishing this matter, Lin Tuo cut off the connection between the other party and the illusion space, and immediately turned off the ability.
The surrounding scenery disintegrated and shattered. In a blink of an eye, the main body sitting in the wicker chair slowly opened his eyes. In his field of vision, there was only a quiet study room and the morning light on the window.
"Squeak."
Lin Tuo got up, opened the door and went out to the martial arts arena.
At this moment, the sun was just rising, shining brightly on the earth, and under the nourishment of ether, Lishan, which had been covered with new green clothes overnight, was illuminated.
In the field of vision, as huge as an earth dragon, the endless Taihe Mountains are becoming more and more simple and mysterious.
"The seasons turn, and autumn returns to spring." Lin Tuo's mood improved a lot as he watched the dead flowers bloom again in the corner.
"Teacher, good morning." When she turned her head and saw Huaxi, who was wearing exercise clothes, with a clear face and white porcelain skin, her mood became brighter.
…
Huaxi's blood is delicious, but he is not hungry after all.
After solving the disaster of praying candles and pacifying the two of them separately, Lin Tuo felt light all over his body. With a wave of his big hand, he took Huaxi to change clothes and "teleported" directly into Yangcheng.
Find a good breakfast shop to solve the breakfast problem.
By the way, I also appreciated the great changes in the city.
The street trees on both sides of the road became as fresh as spring and as rich as summer overnight. The temperature in the whole city warmed up, and flowers bloomed in every corner of the city.
Even the long-dead peach trees bloomed again, and the Yangcheng citizens who woke up from their sleep were amazed and amazed.
Everyone I met on the road was red-faced.
Well, probably because of the foreshadowing of national practice, people's responses are generally more positive.
It can be expected that when relevant news spreads, it will inevitably attract greater attention and repercussions.
…
In a happy mood, he took Huaxi for a stroll around the street, enjoying the flowers, dawdling until noon and eating, and then Lin Tuo teleported back to Lishan.
And returned to the sand table in the study.
On the virtual panel, the "repairing" progress bar that had lasted for more than ten hours finally came to an end.
Yes, this logo has appeared since last night, and it is precisely because of this that Lin Tuo dared not move rashly, fearing that it would affect the restoration.
Until this moment, the progress bar finally finished.
In my mind, the evolution sand table information also appeared again:
[Preliminary repairs have been completed, and the isolation cover and No. 2 sandbox evolution system area have resumed normal operation]
[Reminder: The stability of the current sandbox environment is lower than the safe value, please reduce the impact of the external environment to prevent secondary damage]
[Reminder: The weather cycle simulation system is seriously damaged, the weather system is disordered, and some parameters are wrong, threatening the sandbox living environment. The attempt to repair fails, and the backup calculation model is activated. The estimated delay time: about 100 years (sandbox time)]
[Warning: Due to the chaotic data of the weather system, the sandbox environment will usher in a "big ice age" ahead of schedule in 100 years, which is expected to pose a greater threat to the survival of internal life]
…
At this moment, one message after another poured into Lin Tuo's mind, showing the effect of swiping the screen.
And after he finished reading, Lin Tuo's originally relaxed and bright mood suddenly cast a layer of gloom.
The smile on his face also disappeared:
"What did you say?!"
Standing in the study room, feeling the warmth of the noon sun on his body, Lin Tuo felt his heartstrings tense again just after he relaxed.
The sand table, which lacks sufficient intelligence, did not answer his questions.
But with this information alone, it was enough for him to figure out the reason.
Lin Tuo took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.
Sit down and start combing through the information.
About a minute later, he opened his eyes again, staring at the badly broken "prayer candle" on the table, his face a little ugly.
In short, the damage caused by the wave of praying candles has not been fully repaired, and the weather simulation system in the sandbox has some errors.
As a result, in the program, the "big ice age", which should have happened a long time later, is about to come earlier.
Lin Tuo is no stranger to the so-called "Great Ice Age".
It has happened several times in Earth's history.
Commonly known as "Ice Age", or "Ice Age".
At the coldest time, thick ice sheets covered the entire world, the sky was freezing and the living environment was harsh. The period closest to humans was the so-called "Quaternary Ice Age".
There is a saying that humans are still under the influence of the Quaternary Ice Age, but human civilization happens to be in the "interglacial period", that is, the relatively warm period between the two ice ages.
The sandbox simulation environment of No. 2 is based on the earth, as if it is not necessary, but the moon and tides will still be simulated.
In the sandbox system, there is also the climate setting of "ice age", just like the early days of the "New World" structure, when the northern and southern continents were not yet separated, they also experienced cold ages.
It's just that, according to the original development, the next "ice age" will not come in a short time. However, the prayer candle crisis destroyed the ecosystem, which unexpectedly led to the advance of the big ice age.
Because it was not developing normally, the Derivation Sandbox used security measures to forcibly delay it for a period of time.
About 100 years.
That is, 100 years later, the north and south continents will be covered with ice and snow, and the living environment will change drastically. If no intervention is carried out, the entire sandbox civilization will be affected.
Although it will not be destroyed, it is inevitable that the vitality will be severely injured and countless casualties will be caused.
…
"It's really... It's not worrying." After figuring out the reason, Lin Tuo rubbed his forehead and sighed.
I thought that if the prayer candles were solved, it would be over, but I never thought that a new round of disasters would come again.
Fortunately, this time the information is clear, it can be predicted in advance, and there is time to prepare.
what to do
"The Great Ice Age refers to the colder climate, and the sandbox world is covered by glaciers... Then can I use external force to solve the problem
For example... When the Great Ice Age came, use a hair dryer to continuously pour heat into the sandbox
Or, light a high-power light bulb? Man-made thermostat? "
Lin Tuo tried to ask in his heart.
[Reminder: The stability of the current sandbox environment is lower than the safe value, please reduce the impact of the external environment to prevent secondary damage]
Information comes to mind.
"Uh... so, it's not allowed to heat from the outside?" Lin Tuo asked in confirmation.
[… Simulation results: This plan will cause more serious harm...]
"Then what about my plan to bring out the whole world's life and temporarily put it in the 'transit place'?" Lin Tuo asked again tentatively.
[… Simulation results: This plan will cause more serious harm...]
"Then I put in a glass cover to separate the north and south continents, and it can't be solved?" Lin Tuo leaned forward, and as expected, he got a similar answer.
Then, he tried to think of several plans, all of which got the same result.
That is, for at least 100 years, the sandbox environment will not be stable enough to withstand too strong external interference.
Of course, it's okay if the degree of interference is light. For example, if his hand is put in, it will not cause damage.
The judging criteria are not very clear.
After confirming this point, Lin Tuo fell into a long silence, staring at the "fragile" No. 2 sandbox in the sand table, as if what was in front of him was not a world, but a piece of fragile glass.
After a long silence, he finally sighed, bitter in his heart: "There is no way to solve it with external force, can they only rely on their own strength to survive the Great Ice Age?"
In the study room, the quiet needle drop can be heard.
Outside the window, there was the sound of birds chirping from the mountain.
Lin Tuo's expression gradually calmed down.
Realize... it seems... and there really is only one way.
Facing the cold wave a hundred years later, it is also difficult for the "gods" to lend a helping hand.
Sandbox creatures can only save themselves.
…
After thinking for a while, Lin Tuo seemed to have made up his mind, and immediately activated the phantom space ability.
The surrounding scenery is broken.
The boundless mist filled the air, and mysterious tall bronze pillars, thick round tables with flickering flames, and surrounding seats emerged silently.
The temple rises.
Lin Tuo's clothes also turned into a classic robe with a pure black background and embroidered dark gold patterns.
Turn around and look.
On the Northern Continent, three Grand Priests were online at the same time.
Lin Tuo raised his hand and positioned the coordinates of the three lines among the seats of the round table.
…
next second.
The slightly hazy figures of Anne Hathaway, Alrod, and Neftu emerged on the seats at the same time.
Immediately, the three of them heard the deep voice of the "observation angel" from the main seat:
"Everyone, we are in big trouble again."
