Creating a Sandbox World

The song seemed to originate from the deep sea, making people want to explore it irresistibly. However, the human beings who were caught in the storm were quickly knocked unconscious by the waves.

Completely lost the perception of the outside world, slowly sinking downward.

At the same time as they fell into a coma, sea races emerged one after another in the brutal sea.

The leader of the Sea Clan Captain raised his arms and stretched out a halo, and the surrounding sea suddenly calmed down: "Rescue."

"Yes!"

With an order, the sea clansmen dived into the bottom of the water one by one, and after a while, they lifted the unconscious crew members out of the sea.

"Come on, take that boat with me, and find a safe island to set it up." The Sea Clan captain with long blue hair said as he glanced at the dilapidated boat.

Then he couldn't help muttering again: "If it wasn't for the sake of the benefactors in the clan, I wouldn't care about your life..."

Next to him, another Sea Clan nodded in agreement:

"That's right, they're just a bunch of lunatics, they're not in the right mind, and they're still breaking through such a big storm. Besides, there's nothing to see in front of them, just a wall."

Another Sea Clan hugged his shoulders and said proudly: "Tsk, you don't understand this, I heard a saying in the human kingdom, which probably means that you don't turn around until you hit a wall."

"Okay, stop rambling." The captain interrupted his subordinates' chat, and pulled a group of Sea Clan to cast spells together, blowing a bubble enough to wrap the ship.

...

Two hours later.

On an island far from the storm belt.

When the group of sailors who survived the catastrophe woke up from their coma, what they saw was an island and the repaired old ship on the beach.

looked at each other.

"Captain? We..." After a long silence, the first mate finally looked at the captain who had been sitting in a daze and stared into the distance, and asked.

The latter was silent for a while, sighed, and said hoarsely, "Perhaps, this is the will of the gods."

After a pause, he continued: "However, human beings will cross mountains and seas one day."

...

...

"Head iron..." Li Shan, because of the acceleration of time, Lin Tuo didn't capture the relevant details. He just saw the ship rushing into the storm brazenly, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Perhaps, this is human beings.

Sometimes, there is no reason at all.

Shaking his head, Lin Tuo didn't dare to leave now. He just stood by the sand table and maintained the storm. Fortunately, the "Great Navigation Era" didn't last too long, and it ended.

This is not a very surprising result.

For the technological level of this era, the conditions required for ocean-going voyages are very harsh. There must be people who dare to take risks and the support of sufficient funds, otherwise, it is impossible to build ocean-going ships.

Historically, Columbus also received the support of the Spanish royal family.

When the "navigation for gold" subsides, and ocean voyages fail to bring more wealth, it will naturally die down, even if there are still many people who are curious about the world.

...

Lin Tuo was not happy about successfully delaying human beings' access to the border. The "Great Discovery Age" was like a signal.

In the next few days, the speed of new entries on the operation log suddenly accelerated.

Almost every ten minutes, new entries will appear.

Lin Tuo is no stranger to a similar scene. He remembers that in the No. 1 sandbox, after the science was taught, the entries in the operation log also showed a blowout state during the two hundred years of the reform of Chiguo.

As the level of social civilization rises, the epoch-making content that needs to be recorded increases.

Yes, not long after the age of great voyages, the prototype of the industrial revolution appeared in the No. 2 sandbox.

...

"A lot faster than I expected." When Lin Tuo saw the emergence of a new type of textile machine from the operation log,

He couldn't help but marvel.

After all, this time he didn't take the initiative to spread science and encourage it.

But if you think about it carefully, it makes sense.

"The humans in sandbox No. 2 are not derived from apes after all, but descendants of wasteland immigrants.

Although the civilization has been restarted and a lot of civilization achievements have been lost, the ideas have always been passed down, which is reflected in the title style of those magic books. "

This is obviously good news for Lin Tuo.

The most obvious benefit is that the ether he can collect increases again.

"Suck." Running the breathing method, wisps of bluish-white breath flowed into Lin Tuo's mouth and nose from above the sand table, which even made him feel full for a short time.

Yes, even if it can't be absorbed, most of it is just stored in the body, but too much ether injected at one time will still make Lin Tuo feel "supported".

It takes a while to stabilize.

After several collections, his reserves approached the 10,000-point mark.

And the human society on the sand table has also transitioned from farming in the Middle Ages to a new era:

[The world is running... In the year, the first steam engine appeared, which means the arrival of the steam age. This brand new power has replaced the traditional labor, greatly speeding up social production, and the emergence of machines has also changed the social form]

[On the Northern Continent, the era of chaotic wars among the nations has passed, and a situation has gradually formed where the three kingdoms of Winton, Aspen, and Fryer stand together, especially the Kingdom of Winton, which is located at the southern end of the Northern Continent, is the most powerful , the age of steam originated here]

[Subsequently, with the gathering of social capital, the wind of invention flourished on the Northern Continent. For a while, in just a few decades, new things emerged one after another, and society changed with each passing day.

Science and culture are flourishing, and the extraordinary power gradually hides in the dark under the tacit understanding of the three kingdoms, existing in the form of the church, and serving the kingdom's rule]

[The world has evolved for four thousand years, and the total population of the northern and southern continents exceeds 50 million]

...

50 million people...

Seeing this figure, Lin Tuo's expression changed significantly.

This number has far exceeded the population of No. 1 sandbox, and this is far from the limit.

In his eyes, the entire sand table had already changed.

Especially the North Continent, which is at the center of the world.

Inside the territory of the three kingdoms of "Winton", "Aspen", and "Fryer", there are many tall buildings.

In the suburbs, mining, textile, machinery, lead white, and glass factories are scattered, and on the rivers, steam-powered warships wrapped in metal appear.

Except for extremely remote places, almost all areas on the mainland have been included in the scope of human life.

Leaning slightly, Lin Tuo could see the dense, match-like chimneys standing up and burning on the plain and around the city, covering the bustling city in a grayish-yellow mist.

The steam train carries gentlemen in formal suits and top hats, or ladies with lace, lotus leaf lace, and yarn-woven headdresses, running across the continent.

This scene made Lin Tuo feel dazed, as if he was watching a 19th-century European silent film from a bird's-eye view.

"It's really surprising." Through the zoom function, the perspective was drawn to the capital of Winton Kingdom.

Staring at the black-gray buildings and the steel bridge across the river that passes through the city, a breath of the era intertwined with ups and downs and hardships came over my face.

"Is this... a bathing place? A public bathing pool on a river?" Lin Tuo was even a little surprised to see an arched building similar to a bathing place appearing on the river in the blink of an eye.

The whole world is developing, galloping, running into a new era.

"It's like a dynamic picture of going up the river during the Qingming Festival." Lin Tuo couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and immediately felt an urge to record it.

After all, at the rate in the sandbox, this history may be passing by very soon.

"Take some photos and videos as souvenirs, don't send them out, and keep them for yourself." Once this idea arises, he can't hold it back. Lin Tuo immediately calls the virtual panel and adjusts the time to 1:1.

As a result, the scene of the sand table world suddenly slowed down.

The scene of the evolution sand table is only presented in Lin Tuo's personal field of vision, and cannot be photographed with any optical equipment for the time being, which has long been confirmed.

So he didn't waste time shooting down, but directly called out the clone.

"It's impossible to shoot from the outside, but with the avatar, put the mobile phone inside the sand table, you can always shoot."

This logic is very clear. Once entering the sandbox, it is equivalent to being sent to the real world in the Pacific black box.

Having made up his mind, Lin Tuo immediately put his right hand into the sand table and put the avatar into it.

And the target he chose was the capital of Winton Kingdom in the Northern Continent: Metropolis

"Consciousness switch!"

...

Northern Continent, Winton Kingdom, Metropolis.

In the southern district, in a remote and uninhabited street, there was no sound at all.

Suddenly, the air in mid-air twisted abruptly, and Lin Tuo, who was wearing a black cloak, took a step forward, then bowed slightly, and landed steadily in the alley.

"Crack." His feet landed on the ground with a soft sound.

After a slight pause, Lin Tuo walked slowly and walked straight along the alley. After walking for a while, his eyes suddenly opened up.

He came to the street.

All of a sudden, the coolness of the late autumn season rushed towards the face with exotic customs, accompanied by countless fine and mixed voices.

Originally, a silent film from a bird's-eye view suddenly came alive.

The grunt of the stagecoach rolling over the road, the sound of people talking, the busy people in the nearby buildings, and the fragmentary sounds of objects colliding together into a sound wave, drowning Lin Tuo.

All of a sudden, crash into the world.

"Crack~"

Lin Tuo squinted his eyes briefly, feeling the breath of this era. The next second, he heard a whip, and turned his head to look across the street. A public carriage painted black slowly stopped beside the stop sign. .

The carriage has two floors. The bottom is the carriage, and the upper is the seats with their backs leaning against each other. There are ladders for climbing. The conductor standing on the support board at the rear of the carriage is busy collecting fees. Under the stop sign, several citizens are waiting They climbed into the carriage one after another, and then went away.

On the street, brick and stone buildings are close to each other, and you can see rows of billboards. Men and women in black and white suits or long skirts wear hats of different heights and colors, walking in and out of the shops.

There were also some people who looked at Lin Tuo in the cloak curiously, but they were only slightly curious, as if this kind of attire was not too surprising.

"Sir~ Do you want to buy a newspaper? It's only a penny." In a daze, a thin boy in a taupe coat came to Lin Tuo and asked seriously, with a little curiosity in his eyes.

"No." Lin Tuo smiled and refused.

And I added a sentence in my heart: Unless you also accept RMB...

Watching the somewhat disappointed newsboy run away, waving newspapers to sell, Lin Tuo slightly raised the hood on his head, and sighed softly:

"This is the real world."

Yes.

This is the real world, where many real people live.

Lin Tuo lifted his hood, wrapped only in a cloak, and walked slowly along the street, looking curiously at the products in the glass windows of the shops on both sides.

In this era, there are no cars, and bicycles have not been seen, and probably have not yet appeared. On the streets, there are only tracked or trackless horse-drawn carriages running.

The air was bad, probably because of the rain not long ago, and some roads that were not paved with blue bricks were slippery and muddy.

After walking for a while, a wide river suddenly appeared in front of him.

That is the "White River" that traverses the entire metropolis and supports millions of residents in the city.

Well, this name was accidentally seen from the operation log.

Blowing the cold autumn wind, Lin Tuo took out the mobile phone that had lost signal connection from his arms, opened the screen, and turned on the camera.

focus...shoot...

"Crack!"

Perfect.

Sure enough, it can be photographed.

The main body of the photo is the Baihe River, and on the other side of the river are buildings, streets, and a construction site under construction can be seen, surrounded, and some workers are busy. I don’t know what it is.

"That's the ventilation shaft of the subway under construction." Suddenly, a man dressed in a formal suit and a top hat, similar to the British gentleman in the film and television drama, walked up to Lin Tuo and introduced with a smile, "This is the entire continent." The first subway line.

Once built, it only takes 15 minutes to go from Paleton Station to Frangdon Station, and then return to the starting point via Euton Station and King's Cross Station...

It is said that the earliest design was an atmospheric railway powered by compressed air, but because it could not meet the sealing requirements, it was changed to steam technology...

Just digging ventilation shafts all over the city, like a bunch of gophers busy digging burrows..."

Speaking of this, he shrugged helplessly, and tentatively said: "People from the Southern Continent? The one in your hand... it seems to be a new thing."

Well, this is... strike up a conversation? Small talk? It's the Southern Continent again. I remember hundreds of years ago, the baron guessed that he was from the Southern Continent. Well, could it be that they look similar...

With similar thoughts in his mind, Lin Tuo put away his phone and said with a smile, "A collection."

Well, boys should not accept strangers to strike up a conversation outside!

The middle-aged man obviously felt Lin Tuo's alienation, but he still didn't give up.

Just like every lucky person who stumbled upon a "business opportunity" in this era, he intuitively believed that the small machine in the hands of this cloaked southerner seemed to contain a great mystery.

And just when Lin Tuo was getting impatient and about to find an excuse to get rid of the other party, suddenly.

Some kind of his "spiritual intuition" vibrated, and Lin Tuo raised his head almost subconsciously, looking at the misty sky.

Immediately, I heard the huge, hurried voice that seemed to come from the universe:

【alarm! alarm! Detected a destructive supernatural item and entered the No. 2 sandbox! 】

【alarm! alarm! ...the sandbox environment is threatened! Please deal with it as soon as possible! 】

【alarm…! alarm! ...]
