Creating a Sandbox World

"Creating a Sandbox World ()"

Ever since he realized that the crisis was hidden, Lin Tuo decided to further promote the development of reality, but he had no idea how to do it.

The simplest and rude way is nothing more than pouring in ether, just like the time when the praying candle exploded, spit it out in a big mouthful, and the number of practitioners in the entire Yangcheng area skyrocketed.

But the problem is that this kind of operation is too wasteful and the effect is poor. With this skill, it is far less cost-effective than throwing it into the sandbox.

But he can't leave the earth alone. For one thing, the evolution sand table is deeply bound to the earth and cannot be separated. Lin Tuo lives in this world. Once a crisis comes, the earth will bear the brunt.

And he always suspects that the state of the earth may also be related to the recovery progress of the sand table.

On the other hand, the earth has a population of 7 billion, and it has extremely huge potential. Referring to the sandboxes No. 2 and No. 3, the combined area is only the size of Europe, and the total population does not exceed 200 million.

Especially World No. 3, which is still in the feudal era where there are many sects... In terms of civilization level, it is far lower than the earth, but there are also several inhumans and more martial arts practitioners.

The North and South Continents have even established a whole set of magic systems... It can be said that the potential of the earth far exceeds the two, but it lacks a "lever" to leverage.

"Perhaps, giving knowledge or stimulation would be better than infusing ether."

Lin Tuo whispered in his heart:

"If people on earth can enter the sandbox, acquire more 'advanced' cultivation, or use the knowledge of ether, and then bring it back, and even cultivate a group of strong people, it will definitely greatly promote this process."

And once the countries of the earth really make up their minds to promote this matter, the power that the seven billion people will explode will be extremely astonishing.

However, Lin Tuo does not intend to send humans into the existing two sandboxes. Rushing to let different civilizations come into contact will inevitably cause a series of problems. He plans to open another No. 4 sandbox.

Not just to advance reality, but to earn Ether.

With his remaining 15,000 points, no matter which sandbox he invests in, it is not as cost-effective to build another one. In addition, he is also planning to make some "trials" through the new sandbox.

For him, the new sandbox will be a testing ground and a new source of ether.

For human beings, it will be a great mystery to gain "power".

As for where to put it... Lin Tuo doesn't plan to continue to put it on the earth, but wants to try to put it on other planets. Anyway, as long as he continues to develop, he will step into the sea of ​​stars sooner or later.

It's better to open a small one first and explore the way.

Yes, in Lin Tuo's plan, the No. 4 sandbox will not be bigger, but will be smaller, which is also part of the "try".

...

Gathering his thoughts, Lin Tuo touched the bleak + with his mind.

Start creative mode!

The galaxy suddenly changed!

Although the original stars were illusory, they were still bright and colorful, especially some planets.

But at this moment, the entire Milky Way seemed to have faded and turned gray. At the same time, those planets became more and more clear, as if they were real.

Curious, Lin Tuo raised his hand and tried to touch the largest gaseous Jupiter.

In the next second, a stream of information suddenly poured into his mind.

【Name: Jupiter】

[Attribute: Gas giant planet]

【Diameter: 142984km】

[Rotation period: 9 hours, 50 minutes and 30 seconds at the equator]

【quality……】

...

This is impressively some of the basic parameters of Jupiter.

And when this piece of information was read, Lin Tuo found that the envelope icon in the upper right corner of the virtual panel lit up for the second time, and he clicked on it with his mind, and it was a "Creative Mode Operation Manual".

"Uh..." Lin Tuo was taken aback, and clicked to read.

At first, he didn't pay much attention to it, but after reading it, his expression suddenly changed subtly.

He suddenly discovered that constructing a sandbox outside the earth is not as simple as imagined.

Well, it’s not complicated at all. It probably means that apart from the Earth, other stars in the current galaxy are not suitable for deriving life. Therefore, if you want to start creation on other planets,

A certain amount of ether needs to be consumed additionally.

There is a dynamic addition coefficient.

The specific consumption depends on many factors, mainly two points:

One is fitness for survival.

In other words, the more suitable the selected star is for life evolution, the less additional consumption will be. If Lin Tuo chooses the sun for placement, the amount of ether consumption will be unaffordable for him anyway.

The other one is distance.

It is probably because the evolution sandbox is located on the earth, the farther away the star is from the earth, the more additional consumption will be.

In addition, the area will also have a certain impact, that is: the larger the selected area, the more additional consumption, but this is relatively small compared to the former two.

This caught Lin Tuo off guard, but after thinking about it, it was reasonable. After all, the more unsuitable the place, the more difficult it would be to transform the simulation, and the increase in consumption was normal.

"No wonder... In the system records, the first owner of the sand table was so excited after discovering the earth, saying that he was very lucky... Before that, I wondered why the earth must be chosen since the sand table transformed the planet...

Now it seems that the environment of the earth is the most suitable for evolution, and the difficulty of transformation is the least. If it is another star, it may only run out of energy and can only support a shield covering half of the planet...

In that case, limited by the area, the internal life would lose its expandability, and it would be even more difficult to produce a civilization capable of confronting the empire. "

Lin Tuo suddenly realized, and then began to follow the instructions in the operation manual, trying to touch several planets respectively, and trying to delineate the range on the extended surface.

On the virtual panel, the ether value that needs to be consumed is dynamically displayed.

After several attempts, Lin Tuo had to give up the distant planets and set his sights on Mars and the moon.

The former is the most similar to the earth, and the difficulty of deriving life should be relatively low. As for the latter, it is purely because of the short distance!

Yes, too close!

The average distance is less than 400,000 kilometers!

After weighing several times, Lin Tuo finally chose the moon.

Although according to his plan, on Mars, the ether in his body is barely enough to open up a sandbox, but there is nothing left.

In addition, the No. 4 sandbox plan will not be too large, and putting it on the moon will not affect too much.

...

【Name: Moon】

[Attribute: Rock solid satellite]

【Diameter: 3476.28km】

...

Thoughts turned, when Lin Tuo carefully touched the moon again, relevant parameters flowed through his mind.

In the galaxy, the moon suddenly unfolded, leaving only this slowly rotating star floating in the void in front of him.

Because there is no atmosphere, Lin Tuo can clearly see the craters on the surface of the moon.

Get closer, just in time to see the "moon sea" turning in front of you.

The "mara" is not an ocean, but a plain of impact craters filled with lava flows, bordered by bright, ancient anorthosite plateaus...

It's not bright, on the contrary, the whole star is gray.

"It's so ugly." Lin Tuo couldn't help complaining, and then raised his hand to light up the illusory grid above the moon sea, and the consumption points on the panel also jumped.

One hundred thousand.

Three hundred thousand.

five hundred thousand.

one million.

When Lin Tuo selected one million square kilometers, he stopped and did not intend to continue.

At this moment, the displayed consumption points are close to 5,000 points.

Among them, the "Creation Range" only used a thousand points, and the rest were extra consumption.

Compared with the total surface area of ​​the moon of about 40 million, the No. 4 sandbox occupies about one-fortieth, which is not as good as the first two, but it is also enough for evolution.

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

"yes!"

[This construction needs to consume 4980 ether points, and the automatic purchase deduction is in progress...]

At the same time, a reminder that the purchase in the mall was successful automatically popped up on the panel, and the ether in Lin Tuo's body dropped to 9693 points.

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

In the next second, a card full of moon craters was added to the creative mode.

On the barren surface of this planet, in the "moon sea", a nearly circular isolation cover suddenly rose, like an upside-down bowl.

[It is detected that the sandbox environment does not conform to the basis for the birth of life, and will be modified according to the default plan parameters, please wait...]

The information emerged, and an invisible ripple swayed from the isolation cover, covering the entire area.

"The default plan... refers to the series of parameters set by the first master?"

Lin Tuo raised his eyebrows. Seeing that there was no movement in the sand table, he immediately went out to prepare soil and fresh water.

...

About ten minutes later, after Lin Tuo finished his preparations, he returned to his study and saw a new reminder:

【Renovation completed】

[No. 4 sandbox has been built, please provide the necessary basic materials]

Lin Tuo observed for a while, but didn't see any difference between the "reformed" Yuehai and the previous one... This made him even doubt whether he was cheated.

Shaking his head, he began to put soil, fresh water, metal, etc. into the moon sea one by one.

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

"Open!"

【Combination of computing power...】

With the command issued, the computing power that was originally responsible for accelerating the No. 3 sandbox suddenly rewound and entered the No. 4 Moon Sea, and the time of the dynasty with many sects also synchronized with reality.

A faint white light covered the entire sandbox, matter decomposed, reorganized, and changed... Atmosphere appeared in the sky, the sun... no moon.

Yep, sandbox number four doesn't have a moon.

...

...

at the same time.

universe.

solar system.

Silence, emptiness... This is a world with no end in sight and extremely boring.

The planets are running non-stop according to their respective orbits, time flows between them, and the sun's light waves radiate the entire sea of ​​stars unscrupulously.

In the polar lunar orbit 50 kilometers from the surface of the moon, a lunar reconnaissance orbiter is slowly moving, stretching its metal body and wings.

At the same time, the narrow-angle camera fixed on the surface of the aircraft overlooks the entire moon, takes pictures continuously, and transmits the stereoscopic images back to the ground.

At this moment, the moon sea just turned under the lens.

"Crack..."

In the silent flickering, photos were recorded one by one. Originally, they should not be much different from previous records.

But at this moment, it was different because of the dark and lightless isolation cover quietly raised in the moon sea.

...

...

On the ground, on another continent that is far away from Huaguo.

At this moment, it was still afternoon, but it was almost time to get off work.

Federal National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

inside a building.

Several researchers sitting in the office were talking and laughing, discussing activities after get off work, and were about to leave.

In the room, the instruments fixed on the surrounding walls were still turned on, and the images sent back by the lunar spacecraft were displayed on the screens.

It's just that no one took a second look.

"There are still twenty minutes, do you want to go to the restaurant together later?" A male researcher put on his coat and walked up to a female colleague and asked.

The latter was still sitting at the table looking at the computer, processing the data files, stopped when he heard this, leaned back slightly in the chair, and said with a helpless expression: "I have an appointment with Susan."

"Okay." The male colleague shrugged, looking for something to say, "There is no rush to deal with these, you just came back from the Pacific Ocean not long ago, you should take a rest."

"Because the research on the black box in the Pacific has not made any progress, I can only work harder... Otherwise, you will pay the bill for me next month?" The blonde female colleague rolled her eyes.

The latter said with a hippie smile, "It's not impossible...you know, I've been... Linna? Linna? What are you looking at?"

"Do not talk!"

"What?"

"Get out of the way!" The next second, Linna stood up abruptly, pushing him away with some strength from her petite body, and then threw herself down beside the monitor in a few steps, staring at the message sent back by LRO. Newest image!

To be precise, it is the huge "spot" that appeared in the "Moon Sea"!

My eyes widened!

This scene also attracted the attention of other colleagues, and they cast their gazes over, and then Linna exclaimed:

"Come and see! Look here! Something seems wrong!!!"

...

Huaguo, Wucheng University.

On a street in the school, as the sky brightened and the sun shone brightly, more students walked around.

Although it's not time for class yet, various exams have also reached the final stage of preparation for the sprint.

The students walked like flying, in a hurry.

Occasionally, I can see a few "heterogeneous" who meditate in the campus park or playground, and believe that they can absorb the "purification of heaven, earth, sun and moon" in the early morning.

Jiang Yishan, who got the answer from "Taihe Immortal", was wearing a peaked cap and a dark green coat, waiting boredly at a street corner.

Looking down at the fallen leaves, I clearly felt the chill of winter.

Thinking why Zhou Mo hasn't come out yet, he raised his head and continued to look at the sky boringly.

Today the sky is clear and blue, the sun has already risen in the eastern sky, but in the western sky, a silver moon can still be clearly seen.

At this time, if the weather is good, it is normal to see the sun and the moon at the same time.

This is also an important basis for those students who have read too many novels to believe that they can absorb the "Essence of the Sun and the Moon"... Thinking about it, the corners of Jiang Yishan's mouth under the peaked cap twitched, and then he felt a little proud.

Let's practice, let's practice... You are still ignorantly chasing trends, but your great senior sister has already worshiped an immortal...

Well, although I haven't officially started yet, it's enough to kill most people in seconds, right?

"Maybe this is the fate of a genius?" Jiang Yishan was thinking wildly, when another leaf swirled down in his field of vision, briefly covering the silver moon.

Then, she heard an exclamation not far away:

"Ah~ Why is there a black spot on the moon??!"
