Creating a Sandbox World

"Sister Jing, you know what I recorded."

...

"Like our troops, they are different from those stationed in the star sector headquarters.

After a mission, who knows how long it will take to come back, or simply die outside and not come back.

So, every time we go on a business trip, we have to treat it as the last time. I remember, you taught me this. "Han Yue said, the camera is still facing out of the window:

"In order to ensure the continuity of memory, shooting is of course necessary."

Lin Jing smiled and said, "But the captain and the others don't take pictures, and neither do I."

Han Yue said helplessly: "So, I can't compare to you guys. I have been in the army for a short time, and I still can't see things like life and death."

The voices of the two came from the speakers very clearly.

In the large lounge, the bright light and shadow on the screen illuminated Lin Tuo's focused face.

Just like the opening scene of a real movie.

The voice-over talks, and the point of view is firmly fixed.

The scene is inside a carriage with a special shape. Outside the camera, there is a ring-shaped window first, and outside, the city is flying backwards.

Because of the reflection, the scene in the picture is not clear, and the shooting angle is also limited.

However, Lin Tuo still used this clip to glimpse the true face of the distant empire for the first time.

It was a city full of order and beauty.

Yes, order.

This was the first adjective that automatically popped up in Lin Tuo's mind.

Perhaps because the photographer has left the urban area, the picture does not show the interior of the city, but an ever-shrinking perspective.

A clear river, with neatly trimmed green plants on both sides of the river, like walls.

Farther away, there is a large city composed of buildings of various shapes. At a glance, those buildings are not neat square boxes like human society, but are full of strange things.

It seems that all the landmark buildings on the earth are gathered together,

Like a luxuriant forest, but there is no sense of clutter.

Just to add a word, the reading app I am using recently, [ app ] has many sources of books, complete books, and fast updates!

In the three-dimensional space of the entire city, there are round vehicles moving forward according to certain established rules.

Like rounded bullets, connected in series, moving forward or turning at different heights... The photographer is likely to be riding on something similar.

"Unmanned aircraft?" Lin Tuo guessed.

The source of the sense of order largely comes from these self-driving "carriages", which seem to be precisely regulated by an invisible but ubiquitous will.

It operates in a way that looks complicated but is as precise as a clock, sending passengers to their destinations safely.

"Wow even."

On the sofa, Huaxi also exclaimed, and then covered her mouth with her hand, worried that she would cover the conversation on the speaker.

Offscreen, Lin Jing and Han Yue have been chatting with each other, and sometimes an unclear word popped out of their words.

It can be seen that there should be only the two of them in this carriage.

As the city disappears in the picture, the surrounding picture subjects become endless gardens.

About ten minutes later, the camera finally turned, and a magnificent building appeared in the picture. Its shape reminds people of the Olympic torch...

It occupies a huge area, and there are no aircraft in the sky. It may be that there is some kind of "no-air" requirement.

The means of transport they were traveling in quickly lowered their altitude and then stopped.

"We've arrived at the base, let's go. The captain and the others should already be waiting in the battleship." Lin Jing said, "Turn off the camera. Filming is prohibited inside the base. It will be troublesome if you get caught."

Han Yue sighed and said, "I know."

Then the camera shakes for a while, blacks out, and the playback ends.

This video is only ten minutes long.

"That's all?" Lin Tuo, who was sitting on the sofa, asked unrequitedly.

Hathaway, who acted as a temporary projectionist, said:

"There are some more, but they were all shot inside the battleship, well, something like a vlog, the amount of dialogue information in it is very low, most of them are scenes of daily chatting, eating, or playing cards.

The communication of some important information was barely recorded.

It may be based on confidentiality requirements.

I also sorted out the text and put it in the bracelet file. You can read it later, but there is really no valuable information.

Do you want to watch the video? "

"No need." Lin Tuo nodded first, and then said.

"Crack." Hathaway snapped her fingers when she heard the words, the lights in the large lounge were turned on again, and the glass curtain wall became transparent again... just like the end of a movie.

Lin Tuo was lost in thought.

Huaxi and Hathaway also tacitly did not disturb him.

It's hard to say whether Xiao Wuyang's method of destroying information before his death played a role, or they always pay attention to information security.

In short, the result of the repair can only be said to be unsatisfactory.

They still knew very little about that distant world, but it was like when Lin Tuo was promoted to the Inhuman Realm, he stood at the door and took a glimpse of the spirit world from a distance.

This short video also revealed a corner of the mysterious empire for him.

"It's better than I imagined." After an unknown amount of time, Lin Tuo broke the silence and said with a smile.

"Oh?" Huaxi and Hathaway both looked over, not hiding their doubts.

Lin Tuo leaned on the soft sofa, his eyes were clear and deep:

"In the past, I didn't know the appearance of that cosmic civilization at all, so I often had delusions, and most of my imaginations were evil and terrifying, purgatory on earth or something...

To tell you the truth, I thought about it before, whether it would be a civilization that I couldn't understand at all...

It's like, it's hard for an ant to understand the operation of human society and human emotions. "

"And the people who live there, I worry that I won't be able to understand their thinking, because that often means that we are two completely different species from them that are only similar in appearance."

After a pause, the corners of Lin Tuo's mouth turned up slightly, and an inexplicable look flashed across his face:

"However, now I find that's not the case. Do you know what I was paying attention to when I watched that video just now?"

Hathaway froze for a moment and said:

"Of course you pay attention to the cities. You're very active in watching them, and you don't say you want to find out their social conditions or something."

Sitting on the sofa, Huaxi thought for a while, but suddenly said:

"Human, teacher, you are paying attention to people, right?"

"That's right." Lin Tuo gave the little girl an approving look. "Although I was staring at those city buildings and the aircraft, it was people who really made me let go of my fear."

"I can clearly feel that these people are the same as us. They are afraid of death, they will shoot vlog-like videos to record their lives, and they will worry and worry when they are on business trips.

I will consider what I did not bring, or what to bring...

Can read cool articles, know how to read, pass the boring mind and time. "

"They are no different from us. Take off the uniforms and equipment on the body, take out the chip on the back of the neck, it's the same..."

As he said that, Lin Tuo's speech became faster and faster, and his spirit became more and more high-spirited. The dark clouds that had been weighing on his heart these days have dissipated a lot:

"So, do you get it? I'd be really terrified if they showed a different mentality than we do, but that's not the case."

Lin Tuo stood up, looked at the moon tree with white branches in the center of the Moon Clan royal court outside the glass curtain wall, and said:

"Perhaps, I did think highly of them before.

Perhaps, compared with humans on Earth, they just have a higher level of technology and a slightly earlier social form.

Well, maybe there is no essential difference in form, just like they are still called 'empire'. "

Huaxi's eyes brightened slightly, and she stood up.

Hathaway blinked, suddenly a little excited:

"So, you mean..."

Lin Tuo smiled and said, "People are afraid of ghosts, but if they know that ghosts are disguised by people, there is no need to be afraid. Just think about how to defeat them."

"Hathaway, can you estimate how long it will take for the imperial people to receive that message after it was sent?" Lin Tuo asked suddenly.

Hathaway thought for a while and said:

"Actually, I have calculated that this battleship has been communicating with the rear during its journey. Although the content has been destroyed, it can send records, and the time is still stored in the log."

"Well... If their 'standard time' is translated into earth time, it may not be two years since this team started from the Ueno star area."

"Oh?" Lin Tuo was really surprised now.

"Yes, moreover, most of these two years have been wasted searching everywhere...I did a simulation calculation earlier.

If you don't take a detour, draw a straight line between the two places from the earth to the Ueno star area.

Then use the spiritual world to leap over there... If you don't encounter any accidents, you can arrive in about less than a month. "

Hathaway said seriously.

a month? !

Lin Tuo was startled, and then suddenly realized something:

"You mean, you know the coordinates of the Ueno star area? And, with the search ship under our feet, you can arrive within a month?"

"Yeah, there is one, and only one, in the coordinate system. The message is being sent back and forth, so it must be the right place of departure," Hathaway said with her hips akimbo, "As for the calculation, it is even easier for me."

However, at this time, Lin Tuo didn't have the heart to look at this bastard at all, but thought quickly, Huaxi looked at him quietly, and suddenly said:

"Teacher, do you want to..."

Lin Tuo nodded, his eyes were unprecedentedly bright:

"You said, how about we also go to the empire?"
