Creating a Sandbox World

The text displayed on the virtual panel does not appear simultaneously.

After the first line of text appeared, it took a long time before the second line was typed out, and then after a while, it was the third line.

During this period, Lin Tuo did not leave the old house, but just moved a stool to observe the changes of the sand table patiently and curiously.

During these 500 million years, the entire sandbox has experienced countless times of sun rising and moon setting. The day and darkness simulated by the sandbox are constantly rotating, and the light and shadow are changing.

Because the entire piece of land has a single element, even such a long period of time did not cause too much trouble to Lin Tuo's observation.

In the time of 500 million years, it is not "no change" as stated in the diary.

Although there is no sign of life, there have been several plate movements during the period. Volcanoes erupted, magma spread, and volcanic ash rose up, covering the sky and the sun.

The river steamed up, turned white, and then turned into rain.

Some hills rose and some plains collapsed.

The overall landmass has been raised, and the distribution of rivers has also changed. On the four sides of the sandbox, there is a large area of ​​ocean.

Because there are so many changes, Lin Tuo doesn't feel boring watching it.

"Isn't it worth being recorded in the log if there is no life..." Lin Tuo complained helplessly, then turned his gaze to the ocean, and found that the originally clear sea water seemed to have become a little muddy.

[In the fifth hundred million years of the evolutionary world, the earliest simple life was born in the ocean, but as soon as their population spread, they were forced to stop due to the world's climate change]

[The Great Ice Age is Coming]

As this short line of text appeared in the operation log, Lin Tuo discovered that a blizzard had rolled up above the originally barren sand table.

Due to the acceleration of time, soon, the entire sand table turned into pure white.

The temperature dropped sharply.

The entire continent became icy cold, mountains and land were covered with thick ice, and even the sea seemed to be frozen.

"Huh, it's so cold." Lin Tuo only felt a chill rushing towards his face, but in this hot summer, it was quite good.

"There is also an ice age in the sand table?" Lin Tuo was somewhat surprised. In his opinion, the essence of the world in the sand table is different from reality after all, and the starting point is also different.

For example, in the early days of the earth, it is said that it was a liquid sphere covered by magma, and then it cooled slowly.

However, the continent in the sand table has soil and water from the beginning, so in his view, its evolution process must be very different from the earth.

But I never thought that there was also an ice age.

[The Great Ice Age lasted for 1,843 years, and then the climate gradually warmed up, and the melted snow water nourished the whole world, the temperature rose, the oceans thawed, the evolution of life restarted, and the oxygen content in the air increased. The spread of algae in the ocean]

After a while, new text was clicked on the virtual panel.

Lin Tuo saw that the cold air in the sand table began to subside, the snow-covered land began to melt, large lakes appeared, and the rainfall was frequent.

The ocean is turning green, that means plants are growing.

"Plants developed so quickly? Well...the plants are beginning to land on land." Lin Tuo observed with great interest that the green began to spread from the ocean to the land.

According to his limited biological knowledge, it is guessed that this is probably the process of transformation from gymnosperms to angiosperms.

It's a pity that these plants are too small to observe at all, and Lin Tuo doesn't have a microscope at hand, so he can't take samples. Instead, he found a magnifying glass, but it's useless.

Simply give up.

And as plants began to appear in the sand table, the interval between words appearing on the running log also began to shorten, and the flow of time seemed to slow down.

Of course, for the life outside the sandbox, the flow rate between the two is still astonishing.

"It's already this late?" When Lin Tuo raised his head again,

Then he found that the light in the room had already dimmed. Outside the old house, the sun was setting to the west. Unknowingly, he observed it all afternoon.

But in the sand table, it is still in the era of "plant reproduction".

"It seems that animals won't be able to evolve in a while," Lin Tuo estimated, stood up, and immediately felt helpless, "I planned to clean up the house this afternoon, but what did I do?"

Sighing, fortunately, most of the rooms have been cleaned, basic bedding and clothes are also available, and the utility bills have been paid all the time, so it is no problem to live there.

The only trouble is eating.

Lin Tuo thought about it, and planned to go to the town down the mountain to eat in a short time, or order takeaway.

"It's time for dinner too." Looking at the sky, Lin Tuo locked the door of the old house, and immediately left the martial arts hall, and hurried towards the town along the mountain road with the setting sun behind his back.

...

...

It was evening.

The entire Li Mountain was covered with a brilliant glow, and even the town below the mountain, looked from a distance, had a touch of texture from an anime.

This is where he grew up.

Lin Tuo felt emotional in his heart, feeling a little nostalgic for no reason, and walked involuntarily towards a snack bar that he liked to eat when he was in school.

However, as soon as he entered the town, he noticed that something was wrong. On the side of the street, some townspeople gathered together, holding mobile phones, talking enthusiastically, with mysterious and surprised expressions on their faces.

"...I heard that, the black box on the other side of the desert confirmed it."

"Really? Rumor..."

"I don't know, just watch the TV news at night, maybe it will mention..."

The town has a small population, so Lin Tuo simply listened to it a few times. When he got to the shop, he found that the diners inside were also talking about words like "black box" and "desert".

"Could it have spread? The sandbox I built really had an impact in reality?" Lin Tuo pretended not to care, and ordered dinner.

Then he took out his phone nervously and unmuted it - he deliberately didn't look at it all afternoon.

As soon as he pushed the button, Lin Tuo only listened to a series of notifications from the phone.

On the lock screen, there are dense message reminders, except for a few spam text messages that must be received every day, the rest are almost group chat messages.

When he opened the software, his eyelids twitched, and he saw that almost all his groups had been awakened, and the first few were already 99+ earlier.

And every second, there are new messages popping up. This time is just at dinner time, so people in the group chat are extraordinarily free.

Just click on a group chat, and the discussion inside is in full swing.

"...Look at the latest news I forwarded, the official media has spoken!"

"I'm going, this is a final conclusion. Some people were stubborn before, saying that it was a fake video. What about fake news?"

"But this... is too unbelievable, isn't it? The entire Tucker Desert was detained just like that? Silently? I still can't believe it..."

Lin Tuo silently refreshed the group chat information, his eyes gradually became complicated.

Although he had already expected it, it was still difficult for him to remain calm when he really saw the impact he had caused.

Just as I guessed, the matter spread after all.

After exiting the group chat, opening Weibo, and clicking on the hot search list, Lin Tuo found that the first hot search was "Taker Desert Black Box".

At the bottom, at a glance, related entries accounted for almost half of the entire list!

Clicking on it, Lin Tuo was surprised to see that the reading volume of the entire topic had broken the billion mark!

Of course, there must be a lot of water in this data, but even so, it only took a few hours to reach this point, which is enough to judge that the topic of the sandbox has been completely wiped out.

In this era, the speed at which hot topics spread is indeed terrifying.

Lin Tuo suppressed the surging emotions in his heart, and looked at the top blog post.

#Tuck Great Desert Black Box#

According to the National Astronomical Observation Center: At about 3:17 this afternoon, a mysterious and irregular "black box" suddenly appeared over the Tucker Desert, covering the entire desert.

In addition, the four desert roads, some facilities, and personnel were transferred out of the desert by mysterious forces... Relevant agencies have confirmed that the news is true, and urgently organized an investigation team to go there.

Please stay calm and don't spread rumors or believe rumors...

After quickly browsing the news content, Lin Tuo let out a sigh of relief.

That's right.

Everything is as I imagined.

After I turned on the creative mode and selected the great desert, in reality, on the earth, the desert no-man's land in the northwest of China did change.

The so-called "irregular black box" is the "isolation cover" of the evolution sandbox.

And a change of this scale, even if it happened in a remote place, cannot be ignored, and it exploded on the Internet in a short period of time, causing an uproar.

Click on a video attached to the news.

Lin Tuo saw that the background of the picture was outside a city.

On the road, there are cars parked all around, messy, people coming and going.

The background is a black "wall" that covers the entire frame.

The photographer even quickly turned a few shots, so the hugeness and magnificence of the "wall" or "sandbox shell" was clearly conveyed to the audience in front of the video.

...

in the video.

A female reporter holding a microphone is standing under the "magnificent wall", facing the camera, and said excitedly:

"...As you can see, I am currently located in the northern part of the Great Tucker Desert. Under my feet is National Highway 318... Just a few hours ago, it was not here...

Yes, according to satellite calculations, the entire national road today has shifted significantly to the north under the mysterious force..."

"And the side behind me, the 'magnificent wall' whose edge is barely visible to the naked eye, is the shell of the black box that covers the entire Tucker Desert!

We don't know what material it is, in fact, through observation, we can find that its surface is extremely smooth and extremely strong, obviously not a common material..."

When the video was shot, it was probably because the black box blocked the sun, and the wind was very strong nearby.

As a result, the female reporter was yelling loudly the whole time, and the wind frizzed her hair from time to time.

After a brief introduction to the environment.

As soon as the camera turned, the microphone suddenly pointed at a group of people around.

Lin Tuo suddenly felt that a few people looked familiar, and quickly determined that this group of people belonged to a domestic film and television team, no wonder... I have seen them in film and television dramas before.

"Director Li, I heard that your crew was one of the first witnesses to discover the anomaly and give feedback. Can you tell us more about the situation?"

After all, they have been on camera all year round. Facing the camera, this group of people seemed very adaptable.

However, even so, the expressions on their faces were also tense, and it seemed that they still hadn't completely calmed down.

"This is a miracle!" In the video, the director is no longer as calm as before. He raises his hands excitedly, looking at the camera with piercing eyes, and pauses every word, saying:

"A miracle that will surely shock the world!!!"
