Creating a Sandbox World

Chapter 60: Mystery is never far away

Views:

Ten minutes later, Lin Tuo returned to the study and put the fertile soil dug from the back mountain into the sand table.

After being "sterilized" by the isolation cover, these soils were piled up in the original sea area of the Pacific Ocean, forming a mountain-like land.

Lin Tuo thought about it, flattened it with a shovel, and put all kinds of prepared metals into it to facilitate the evolution.

After the new material entered, the rest of the seawater was raised again and rose up. In this way, a new continent in the center and surrounded by the sea appeared.

[The sand table has satisfied the basis of evolution, do you want to start the project?]

In my mind, a voice of inquiry emerged.

"On."

There is no hesitation.

A faint radiance then lit up, covering the entire sand table, and reorganizing the internal materials. A similar scene happened last time, and it was part of the procedure.

However, probably due to the expansion of the sandbox area this time, it took a little more time.

Lin Tuo was not in a hurry, wiped off his sweat, turned around and made a bowl of noodles for himself, covered it with an e-reader, and used it as a supper.

When he came back, the processing was over, and it was no longer the lights in the room that illuminated the sandbox, but the nebula, the sun and the moon derived from it.

The continent that was originally "rough" due to the change in material ratio has become much more normal.

At this moment, there is dead silence in the New World. The time is the same as that of the outside world. It is still night, and the simulated moonlight is icy across the entire New World.

[No. 2 sandbox has been activated and is running... ]

[Current ambient ether concentration: none]

The information emerged, and immediately, as the sandbox started to operate, the flow of time was automatically adjusted, and the scene in front of me was quickly refreshed frame by frame, and each frame was many years.

This barren and dead world is also like a slide, slowly changing.

On the virtual panel, the operation log pops up automatically.

[Operation log:]

[On a certain day of a certain year, a certain month, a certain hour and a certain second, the evolution of the world began. At that time, this was a quiet world, which presented an irregular circle.

Both the land and the sea are lifeless, full of chaotic mud, sand, water, minerals, and countless years buried in the mud of the seabed, but it already has the basis for the birth of life]

[100 million years have passed, the world has not changed]

[Two hundred million years have passed, and it is still the same]

Click, click, the words on the operation log quietly emerged.

"According to experience, some simple plants may appear only in the morning." Lin Tuo yawned and put away the virtual panel.

Turned on the computer and watched a sand sculpture video. By the way, after eating supper, I turned off the lights and went to sleep.

Nothing to say all night.

In a blink of an eye, it was dawn on the second day.

Lishan is located in a remote place. Compared with the urban area, the air is much better. In the early morning, when the sky was light, Huaxi opened his eyes according to the biological clock.

After struggling briefly on the soft bed, she got up resolutely, then sighed softly, and said to herself:

"Huaxi, why are you so lazy?"

Not long ago, when he was still in the wasteland, the word "staying in bed" never appeared in Huaxi's life.

Whether in the ruins or the wilderness, sleep is something that needs to be cautious, always pay attention to the wind and grass.

The biological clock is honed to be extremely accurate, and Huaxi can even precisely control the time of sleep.

For example, before going to sleep, keep telling yourself what time to wake up in your mind, and repeat it several times, so that you will wake up at the same time the next day.

Of course, many times they wake up hungry and have to go out to hunt for food.

Where are the conditions for staying in bed

But it's only been a few days since I left, and I'm actually a little bit reluctant to be bedded...

"Fallen, fallen, what about your iron will?" Huaxi gritted her teeth, got up decisively, ran to the bathroom, and washed away her tiredness with cold water.

After simply washing up, he changed into his exercise clothes, then opened the door and walked into the quiet courtyard.

Turning his head to look at the room next door, well, the doors and windows are closed, Lin Tuo should not have woken up yet, Huaxi immediately relaxed his movements a lot on purpose.

Uh, when I was practicing last night, I seemed to hear movement next door, I don't know what the teacher is busy with...

Thinking about it in Huaxi's mind, she took a deep breath of the refreshing air, her spirits shook, and she began to run around the wide martial arts arena in the morning as usual.

Just as he was running to the wall, Huaxi suddenly let out a light snort, stared at the corner of the wall, and stopped still.

"Crunch—"

At this time, the door of the room next door to Huaxi also opened, and Lin Tuo, who had just finished washing, came out rubbing his sleepy eyes and said, "Are you awake? What are you looking at?"

Huaxi turned her head when she heard the words, and said in confusion, "Teacher, why are the flowers in the corner wilting? They were fine yesterday."

"..." Lin Tuo's expression froze for a moment, then he coughed and explained, "They haven't woken up yet."

Huaxi was startled, is that so? Immediately, I was convinced: it is indeed a flower raised by the teacher, it is really extraordinary.

"Okay, I just got up early today, so I'll check your practice results."

"profound!"

Half an hour later, after finishing the "morning class", Lin Tuo walked into the study again and looked at the sand table.

I saw that after one night, the whole world took on a new look.

The land plates have obviously changed, some have been raised, some have been lowered, and plants have also appeared on the land, but it is obviously still in the early stage, like green clothes, covering the earth.

Although there are no mammals visible to the naked eye, it is conceivable that simple life has already appeared.

"Well, the progress is good." Lin Tuo expressed his satisfaction.

Although this is not the first time... But Lin Tuo was still nervous. He didn't sleep well last night. He got up early and saw that the New World was stable, so he turned on the computer.

Check out the news.

"The sandbox in the Pacific Ocean should have been discovered." Lin Tuo muttered. One of the reasons why he chose to start work last night was that the night can block the scene of the isolation cover.

Well, although it will be a matter of time before they are discovered, it is obviously better to give people more time. After all, the melons in the oasis have not been eaten yet... Lin Tuo wanted to give a thumbs up for his thoughtfulness.

"really."

Opening Weibo, Lin Tuo found that there was a topic about the Pacific Ocean on the page without any surprise.

The trending search terms have jumped all the way to the second place, well, the number one trending search is "Oasis".

"At it again! At it again!! What did I say? This isn't the end at all!"

"I woke up, why did something happen again? The Pacific Ocean? The black box? So, the black box didn't disappear at all, it just moved?"

"It's not just a transfer? It's also zoomed in! Looking at the latest news, the satellite measurement results have come out. The total area of the new black box that appeared in the Pacific Ocean is more than ten times that of Tucker's black box!"

"Why do I feel a little fake..."

On the Internet, netizens who have just woken up have not finished eating the last melon, and smashed a new one, and they are turned on their backs.

For a while, major media platforms reported on it one after another.

"The latest news! The disappearing Tucker black box reappeared last night, and it appeared in the most inaccessible windless belt in the Pacific Ocean! The total area is nearly five million square kilometers..."

Under the most popular piece of news, the number of comments has exceeded 10,000, and this is only because it is too early.

Lin Tuo swiped the mouse to automatically delete most of the information.

Suddenly, in his watch list, he saw another large paragraph of text, and the poster was the Internet person who started a big discussion on the topic of oasis not long ago.

The text is not long, it can be seen that the writing is also very casual:

"I have to be honest, when I saw the news just now, I wasn't too surprised, yes, we should have thought of it a long time ago, this is far from the end.

Those invisible hands have never been far away!

Now it seems that, perhaps, the Tucker Desert is just an experiment, and right now, the mysterious, unknown power has set its sights on the Pacific Ocean again. "

"It's important to mention here.

I read the news, I don’t know if you have noticed, but the location of the new black box is worthy of attention, it just happens to be located in the most desolate and quietest area of the world’s largest ocean current.

Combined with the geographical location of the Tucker Desert, we seem to be able to try to summarize and refine a rule. "

"That is, the locations targeted by the black boxes have one thing in common, that is, barrenness, or in other words, far away from human society, so the impact on humans is relatively minimal.

We don't know the complicated considerations and rules behind this, but at least the result is not bad.

With reference to the appearance of the oasis, perhaps we can look forward to the follow-up... "

Below, there have also been many voices of discussion.

Lin Tuo glanced at it briefly, probably because of the continuous bombardment of information, the netizens seemed to have gained some resistance.

After the Tucker Black Box and Oasis incidents, major platforms have also gained experience in handling such hot incidents.

On the whole, the public is much calmer than the first time.

"It's a pity that you won't see the follow-up in a short time." Lin Tuo said in his heart.

The area of the New World is far from being comparable to that of No. 1 black box. It is no longer so cramped, and it can fully support Lin Tuo's use for a long time.

Even if there is an accident like waste soil inside, there is a high probability that there is no need to replace it.

After all, such a large area is enough to support the existence of many human nations at the same time, referring to Europe.

Therefore, in Lin Tuo's plan, the No. 2 black box may exist for a long time.

Refreshing the webpage, the morning passed quickly, and after lunch, the evolution of the entire sand table had reached a new stage.

On the surface, forests and various landforms began to appear on a large scale.

The climate environment in the sandbox obviously has nothing to do with the location of the black box, but is self-derivative.

Previously, the area of No. 1 sandbox was small, and various landforms were piled up in one place, which seemed extremely crowded. The New World did not have this problem. Just overlooking it, it gave people a sense of vastness.

However, Lin Tuo stared at the New World for a while, and suddenly realized that he might have overlooked a small problem.

That is, when the environment here is suitable for survival, he will transfer the life in the "transit land" here, allowing those animals and humans to reproduce and expand the group, instead of letting this world give birth to life on its own.

But the problem is that once humans and mutant beasts are thrown into the New World, they will inevitably fight with each other.

Fighting is not a bad thing, but in the early days, when there is an urgent need to expand the scale, in order to compete for resources, a more comfortable environment, or simply seize the territory, internal friction between each other is what he does not want to see.

And infighting is almost inevitable.

Humans, in particular, have a clear division based on the three major forces of "Burning Fire", "Ash Mountain", and "Floating Doomsday". In other words, they are in a competitive relationship with each other.

It was only because of living in a "transit place" that the battle was suspended.

But once they were thrown into the New World, even if Lin Tuo pretended to be a god and issued a warning, under the acceleration of time, it might not last long, and the words of the gods would become invalid.

"We must find a way to separate them from each other and develop separately, at least in the early stage. When the population size increases, they will fight among themselves, and then let them toss."

The afternoon sunlight came in through the clear window, fell on the desk, and fell on Lin Tuo's face in thought.

Outside, there is a gentle breeze and the sound of cicadas.

After a while, he had an idea.

Sort out the plot, today's update. .
