Walking into the room, Lin Tuo checked the status of the "potted plants" and "fish tank" as usual.
Well, everything is fine in the former. Tents and wooden houses have been erected in the subregion where humans are located, but the number is still extremely rare.
Most people sleep on the ground.
Fortunately, it was still summer, and the temperature was much better than in the wasteland.
Therefore, only in the open air, the living environment is completely acceptable for wasteland humans.
As for the fish tank...
"Well, have you gotten used to it?"
Lin Tuo found that those strange fish seemed to have adapted to the new environment.
Even at this moment, because it was the time for fixed-point feeding every day, countless "murlocs" broke out of the water, raised their necks, stared at the sky, and looked forward to it.
It looked like it was waiting to be fed.
After Lin Tuo spilled the bread crumbs, he immediately climbed up cheerfully and buried himself in the food, looking heartless.
After confirming that the two parties were stable, Lin Tuo sat down at the desk again, took out a pen and paper, sketched and organized his thoughts.
Sandbox #1 has been lifted and has become an oasis.
Then, No. 2 sandbox, that is, a larger map will be put on the agenda. However, before opening up a new sandbox, Lin Tuo feels that it is necessary to summarize the first experiment.
The civilization of Tucker Continent is an experiment, which not only allowed Lin Tuo to harvest a lot of ether, but also gained additional gains.
"Well, the first half of the sandbox is lackluster. The point worth thinking about is my behavior of spreading science and the result of subsequent wasteland transformation."
After thinking about it for a while, Lin Tuo believes that although the explosion of the annihilation bomb is largely due to the personal will of the "mad emperor", there is also a certain inevitability.
"Intelligent life is born with the instinct to explore the world, and this sandbox is too small. During the Chi Kingdom period, human beings were limited by the storms of the endless sea, and they didn't know much about the 'boundary'.
Therefore, there is no corresponding trouble.
It wasn't until I spread the science and the productivity of the Chi country improved that people began to realize what the world they live in is like... "
Lin Tuo felt that even if there was no mad emperor, as the level of civilization improved, problems would still arise sooner or later, maybe not so drastic, but we still needed to be vigilant.
"The way to avoid this problem, either, is to expand the map.
Referring to the real world, human beings also have the desire to explore the universe, but the universe is too big. Up to now, manned spaceflight is still within a short distance, but I obviously can't do it, at least not now. "
"Either, it is to lower the level of civilization, but this runs counter to my goal of obtaining ether."
Sitting at the desk, Lin Tuo frowned, and wrote two lines on the paper:
Technology route
Practice route
Here's what he's been thinking about:
Which route should the sand table civilization follow
Needless to say, the former, using the earth as a template, is absolutely achievable, and this is also Chi Country's development route.
As for the latter, it is in concept.
In other words, it was Lin Tuo who tried to open up in reality the route of improving life by practicing the "breathing qi method" for the whole people.
That is to say, teach the method of breathing energy to human beings in the sand table, and use this method to enhance the ether.
This idea actually appeared very early, but the reason why Lin Tuo never tried it was mainly due to a very real problem.
That is, in his view, under the backward productivity environment, it is difficult to go through this route.
The reason is also very simple.
Referring to Chi country, before science was awarded, most people in the entire country were still in the stage of not having enough food and clothing. The average life expectancy was only about 30 years old, and newborn deaths were very common.
And the "breathing qi method" is a thing that takes effect slowly and has obvious differences in individual aptitude.
Most people have no energy to spare after working all day.
Even if a few people's lives are improved, the ether increase it brings will be very small. In comparison, it is far less cost-effective than developing productivity.
In reality, although 996 and other phenomena are also very serious, in comparison, people's energy is relatively sufficient. A considerable number of people have fitness needs, and this part can be transformed into practice.
Another point is.
Judging from the effect of Yangcheng's promotion, in fact, most people lack "qualification", even if they persist in practicing, the improvement will not be great.
It's only impressive considering the huge population.
If the population factor is excluded, in the human population, there are not many individuals who are really talented and can significantly increase the concentration of ether.
"The most ideal situation is that the sand table is large enough, and its internal civilization is close to modern society. Under such conditions, it is the best to promote the Qi method."
Lin Tuo had realized this before, so he was eager to increase Chiguo's productivity.
After all, in his opinion, with the narrow space of the No. 1 sandbox, it would be difficult to upgrade civilization without external force.
But looking back now, there are great hidden dangers in this approach, which is close to "pickling seedlings to encourage growth".
"Chi Guoren hastily mastered a whole set of science, saving a lot of trial and error time.
This did allow them to quickly live a better life, reduce the death and suffering of countless people, and achieve an increase in productivity, but at the same time, it also planted hidden dangers. "
Lin Tuo rubbed the signature pen, lost in thought.
This is like letting a young civilization that has not matured in time get a destructive weapon early, and there is a lack of awe and restriction of power within the society, and the result can be imagined.
"That is to say, if you want to avoid similar problems from happening again, you can't forcibly save this part of the time. Even if you want to help them, you must be cautious..."
"And, once the civilization in the sandbox develops to possess destructive power, I need to pay more attention to prevent them from crossing the 'critical point of destruction' rashly."
Yes, the tipping point of destruction.
For sandbox #1, the emergence of "annihilation bombs" played a similar role.
Previously, no matter how crazy the emperor was, at most he would only cause wars, and he would definitely not be able to reach the level of destroying the world.
And as a rule of thumb, the "running log" does not give early warning in this regard.
That is to say, Lin Tuo in the early stage of the New World can not be too concerned, but once the internal civilization has mastered the "destructive level" weapons, he must enter it frequently and conduct investigations.
Or set up an observation post.
In short, civilization must be prevented from destroying itself.
Of course, it will take a lot of time for the sand table civilization to develop to that extent without Lin Tuo using external force to accelerate.
If it is in the past, this slow progress is obviously not good for him to obtain ether.
It can be considered that the area of the New World will be many times that of No. 1 sandbox, and the population will be even larger. The advantage in numbers is enough to smooth out the problem of slow civilization development.
"On this basis, you can also try to grant them the method of eating qi. Even if it may not be able to greatly pull the ether due to productivity, but combined with their own abilities...
Perhaps, something interesting can be born. "
Lin Tuo thought about it, and had an idea in his mind, and immediately leaned over his desk to perfect the plan.
…
…
At noon, Lin Tuo made a preliminary plan, but he did not rush to implement it, but planned to wait until the evening to start.
While eating lunch, I accidentally discovered that the article that swiped the screen had been blocked.
But it was already too late, and its influence had already spread throughout Yangcheng.
Through the evolution of the sand table, Lin Tuo found that more and more individuals connected to the "Ether Cloud" tried to cultivate.
In the morning, there were only a few hundred "silk threads" connecting the sky and the earth, but at noon, the number increased to thousands, and the number continued to increase throughout the afternoon.
When the sky darkened and entered the night, Lin Tuo made a rough observation, and in the entire Yangcheng city alone, there were tens of thousands of individuals who had practiced the "Qing Ling Breathing Technique" and successfully established contact with the ether!
In other words, among more than a hundred people, there may be one who is practicing!
This number is very scary.
The difference from the first time is that this time, many of them have a high probability of persisting for a period of time, and once they practice for a long time, the improvement in physical fitness will add up.
Plus those with higher talents, as "role models", word of mouth spread.
The full popularization of practice in the whole city is just around the corner.
"The rest, just wait."
Lin Tuo whispered in a rather good mood, and then looked at the dark night, his expression finally became solemn.
"It's better to hit the sun than to choose a day, just tonight." He plans to start the construction of the No. 2 sandbox now.
The first is to purchase the area.
"Virtual panels."
Calling out the control interface in his heart, Lin Tuo skillfully opened the mall, and his eyes fell on the item "Creation Scope".
[Creation range: 1000 points/one million square kilometers]
"How much ether do I have?" Lin Tuo asked in his heart after taking a light breath.
In my mind, the evolution sandbox responded:
[The host currently has ether value: 5387 points]
More than five thousand points!
This is what Lin Tuo absorbed and accumulated from the No. 1 sandbox.
It was originally more than five thousand four hundred.
But fighting in the wasteland, coupled with the frequent consumption of ether, and using the "Hua Bing Fist" to simulate illusory weapons, until now, all that was left.
Excluding odds and ends, 5,000 points is enough to buy 5 million square kilometers.
What is this concept
Equivalent to half of the European continent!
If most of these five million are arable and habitable areas, the number of people they can support is even more terrifying.
Compared with No. 1 sandbox, it has expanded nearly seventeen times.
[Are you sure to buy?]
"yes!"
As soon as the words fell, Lin Tuo only felt that his body was empty, and there were only 387 points of ether left in his body.
At the same time, a line of text pops up on the virtual panel:
[Purchased successfully!]
Returning to the main page with his mind, Lin Tuo took a deep breath and clicked on the "Creative Mode".
Pages change.
Yangcheng in the sand table suddenly turned into countless light spots and dispersed.
Instead, there is a familiar, huge, dynamic world map tiled in front of him.
Lin Tuo was expressionless, looking down at the whole world, he saw land masses floating in front of his eyes, and there were wisps of illusory cyclones floating in the sky.
His eyes flicked over several continents without stopping.
The sandbox of 5 million square kilometers, if you want to avoid the existing human regime, there are not many areas to choose from except Antarctica, which is not suitable for chaos.
The Sahara Desert was an option, but after careful consideration, Lin Tuo gave up temporarily. No. 1 sandbox transformed the desert, and No. 2 had to be replaced with something fresh.
"How about... put it in the ocean?"
When Lin Tuo's gaze slowly shifted to the Pacific Ocean, this thought could not help but arise in his mind.
"It sounds like a good idea to cover the Pacific Ocean."
