Creating a Sandbox World

In the courtyard, the hot summer, the blowing wind gradually subsided.

Lin Tuo couldn't calm down for a long time.

Over the years, because of work, although he still maintains the habit of practicing martial arts, after all... he is still lazy.

Originally, I thought that it would take a while to pick up kung fu after resignation, but I never thought... just absorbing the ether of Yangcheng City, the whole person is not only reborn, but also integrates twenty years of learning in one fell swoop, pushing the Martial Ancestor Huabing Fist to the top Xiaocheng realm.

No, with the blessing of ether, this is no longer a mortal martial art, it's almost like magic. Lin Tuo let out a deep breath.

He felt comfortable all over his body, his mental state was extremely full, and his body was light. However, he knew that the blow just now belonged to a special situation.

If you want to reproduce it, it is not that simple, it will take some time to completely digest the ether stored in the body.

And this attempt also confirmed what Yanhua Sand Table said, that this mysterious gas is indeed of great benefit to life.

How much ether is in my body now? Lin Tuo couldn't help asking after he calmed down.

[The host currently has ether value: 98 points]

In the entire Yangcheng City, there are only less than one hundred people out of millions of talents? Lin Tuo asked in surprise.

Immediately, the answer of the evolution sand table came to mind:

【Collecting ether through the sand table will generate a lot of conversion loss...】

The explanation was very long, and Lin Tuo sorted it out with his eyes closed before he understood the mechanism.

To put it simply, there is not so little ether in the sky above Yangcheng, but the act of starting the sand table to collect and transform it will consume a lot of this energy.

In other words, most of what was absorbed was wasted in the transformation process... What Lin Tuo got was only the rest.

Of course, in theory, absorbing ether is not only possible through the sand table. After mastering the breathing method, Lin Tuo can also directly absorb this kind of gas through breathing.

However, that kind of efficiency is lower than that of the sand table... and it will waste a lot of time, so on the whole, it is more cost-effective to use the sand table than to practice by yourself.

Then how can I get more ether? Can I just wait for it to slowly regenerate?

Lin Tuo tried to ask, but just 98 points gave him such a big improvement, which no intelligent life could refuse.

And according to the information he got, the natural generation of ether is very slow, this time the picking is empty, it will take several days for the concentration of ether in Yangcheng to recover.

[Trigger key words, addressing the needs of the host, and now give two feasible solutions]

[Scheme 1: Purchase an area in the mall and expand the scope of the observation mode]

Lin Tuo was startled, and immediately understood the logic of this plan.

It's very simple. If it is said that the ether widely exists in cities and villages, then he can only absorb the Yangcheng area now. As long as the observable city range is expanded in the sand table, he can absorb the ether of other cities.

Imagine, if one day, the entire earth can be condensed in the sand table by purchasing the area, then Lin Tuo can theoretically pick the whole world.

But...it won't work... Lin Tuo thought for a while, his face turning bitter.

For the price in the mall, 10,000 points are needed for 10,000 square kilometers, but I only have 98 points... far from enough.

Even if you spit out all the ether in your body, you can't afford it, unless you save it slowly, and wait until it reaches 1000, and then expand the area.

However, I don't know how long I'll have to wait...

Probably sensing his emotions, new information appeared in his mind again:

[Scheme 2: Use the creation mode of the evolution sandbox to provide a new source of ether]

Creative mode? Lin Tuo immediately shifted his gaze to the virtual panel.

This mode is located just below Observation Mode.

But it's not clear what it means.

In the next second, a large section of explanation turned into a flow of information and flooded into his mind.

simply put.

Observation mode is to observe a real area on the earth.

Then, the creation mode is to use the evolution sandbox to select a region on the earth to build an independently operating sandbox, or to cut out a certain part of the earth.

Isolated as an independent space.

Use the function of the sandbox to develop civilization from scratch and generate new intelligent life groups... and then quickly harvest the ether in the sandbox world through the difference in time flow between reality and the sandbox.

The principle is very simple, but the impact of this function on Lin Tuo is extremely huge.

Take a real area on the earth as a sandbox, develop civilization in it, and harvest ether... As for playing so big?

You know, this is not as simple as closing the door and tinkering with a sandbox world by yourself.

The civilization created by Lin Tuo actually exists on the earth!

Moreover, any life and matter created by him in the sandbox exist on the earth in a 1:1 ratio.

Once the creative mode is turned on, in this information age, it will inevitably cause a global shock immediately.

Just imagine, if Lin Tuo used the entire Antarctica as a sandbox... Then, it may only take a few tens of minutes for the news of Antarctica's mysterious disappearance to spread all over the world.

And once he releases the isolation of the sandbox, human beings will be shocked to find that an unheard of intelligent civilization has been born on the entire barren Antarctic continent...

How much of a stir will this cause?

With the world as the chessboard, every move of Lin Tuo will set off a global storm.

Is there... no other, more moderate solution? Lin Tuo swallowed, and tried to ask.

【…】

Well, it seems that there is really no, so it's not difficult for you. Lin Tuo sighed, rubbed his face, and thought seriously.

Although I thought this plan was a bit outrageous when I first heard about it, when I think about it carefully, the feasibility is actually very high. Not all areas on the earth are inhabited.

It shouldn't be a big problem to use those barren lands as sandboxes... right?

No one knew he did it anyway.

Why don't you try it first?

Once this idea appeared, he could no longer contain it. After a short hesitation, Lin Tuo returned to the old house, came to the sand table, and clicked the Creative Mode button on the virtual panel with his mind.

Pages change.

Yangcheng in the sand table suddenly turned into countless lights and disappeared.

Instead, it turned out to be a tiled world map!

Yes!

In the entire sand table, a dynamic world map appeared!

However, unlike the observation mode, this map is somewhat illusory, and the details cannot be seen clearly. Only a few continents and oceans around the world can be identified.

The direction Lin Tuo was facing was the white Antarctica that was closest to him. Moving his gaze forward, he could see a piece of land hanging alone in the sea.

Australia.

Lin Tuo speaks softly. Although the global map in front of him has no text marks and no boundaries, but a continent with obvious features like Australia can still be recognized at a glance.

If this is Australia, then the blue area on my right hand side should be the Pacific Ocean, and the left hand side is the Indian Ocean...

Lin Tuo muttered to himself, trying to identify different areas.

I have to admit that after losing the division of national boundaries, color block distinction, and text identification, the world map in front of me suddenly became strange.

In contrast, only the border of the country of Hua where he lives is easier to find. After all, this map has been read too many times since childhood.

At this time, Lin Tuo also noticed that on the map, there was still a layer of faint grids that cut the global area into squares one after another.

[Creative mode is on, please select the sandbox area]

[Reminder: The selected area must be less than 300,000 square kilometers]

The information appeared in his mind, Lin Tuo was stunned, and he understood its meaning. It is similar to the observation mode. The sandbox he wants to create is also limited. At present, he can only choose a land of 300,000 square kilometers at most.

As for whether it can be expanded in the future, it is not clear.

If the area is too small, I am afraid that no civilization can be developed at all, and the ether provided will be very little... Lin Tuo thought to himself, thinking secretly, thinking that he should make full use of the 300,000 quota as much as possible...

Where should I choose?

Lin Tuo glanced across the seven continents of the world.

Well... You can't choose a densely populated place, otherwise you will become the Great Demon King... You can only choose a deserted land... Antarctica is big enough, but the location is too special, and it is too far away...Huh?

Suddenly, when Lin Tuo's gaze swept across the northwest of Huaguo, he stopped suddenly.

There is the largest no man's land in China - the Tak Desert.

I remember reading in a book that the total area of ​​this desert is 330,000 square kilometers... Thinking of this figure, Lin Tuo suddenly had a thought: this is it!

The area is about the same, barren enough.

Just in the country, close enough to yourself.

Moreover, over the years, greening projects have been carried out in the country, and countless people are looking forward to turning the desert into an oasis. If this place is chosen as a sand table, it may directly change the ecological environment here.

Closing the sandbox in the future may benefit the local area.

As for the possible negative problems...with my own creator guarding, it can be avoided to the greatest extent.

What if there are people and buildings in the area I selected?

Lin Tuo tried to ask.

[During the sandbox construction process, you can choose to transfer intelligent life and characteristic creations in the area]

Is it okay?

Lin Tuo froze for a moment, and the last doubt in his heart dissipated.

Immediately lean over and operate.

Every time his hand touched an illusory grid, that area was selected.

Because the entire desert is not in a regular shape, it really took him a lot of energy, and in the process, he selected the buildings that needed to be moved—mainly several desert roads, and marked the location of the move.

After doing all this, he probably selected less than 290,000 square kilometers of land.

[Selection completed, do you want to build a sandbox in the selected area? 】

Yes!

[The host has confirmed, the sandbox area is cleaning...the selected building is moving...the isolation cover is being generated...]

The information appeared in the mind, and then, the pictures and shadows in the entire sand table changed, and the world map disappeared, leaving only the desert area chosen by Lin Tuo.

Then, around the sand table, a translucent light curtain rose and closed at the top, like a huge transparent cover, isolating the entire desert from the outside world.

...

...

at the same time.

In the endless Tak Desert, it was the afternoon, when the sun was at its most poisonous.

In this piece of Gobi and desert made of gravel, on a road as dark as a ribbon, several cars are running fast.

This is a well-known film and television crew, specially came to this inaccessible place to shoot scenes.

inside the car.

About how long will it take to get there. A crew member fanned the wind with his hands, wiped his sweat, and looked at the Populus euphratica trees on both sides of the road, and couldn't help but said.

Changji next to him glanced at his phone and said, Hurry up, what's the hurry, the sun is burning right now, why are you in such a hurry to go out...

Hey, why is my GPS not working... Is the map application broken?

What's wrong? Someone in the car asked.

My mobile phone's map location seems to be out of order. I was still here just now. Why all of a sudden, the map shows that we ran dozens of kilometers away...

The recorder was complaining in confusion, when he suddenly heard the driver exclaim, Damn!

Even the whole car started to slow down.

What's the matter? Everyone in the car was alarmed and looked at it one after another.

Then, the driver looked like he had seen a ghost, pointing to the front windshield, his face turned pale, his expression frightened, and his words confused: We... are not... the road... it...

What's the matter?

We... the road under our feet seems to have... moved!

...

At this moment, Tucker Great Desert.

Four desert roads quietly move at the same time!
