Create a sandbox world

Chapter 4 Choosing a Desert

In the patio, the summer is scorching, and the fist wind that blows gradually subsides.

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

Over the years, because of his work, although he still maintained the habit of practicing martial arts, he was still lazy after all.

I thought that it would take a while to pick up Kung Fu after I came back from resignation, but I never thought...just absorbed the ether of Yangcheng, the whole person was not only reborn, but also integrated 20 years of learning in one fell swoop, pushing Wuzu Huabing Quan to Xiaocheng realm.

"No, with the blessing of the ether, this is no longer mortal martial arts, it is almost magical." Lin Tuo let out a sigh of relief.

He only felt that his body was comfortable, his mental state was abnormally full, and his body was light and fluttering, but he knew that the blow was a special case.

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

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

"How many ethers are in my body now?" Lin Tuo couldn't help asking when he calmed down.

[The host currently has Ether value: 98 points]

"In the entire Yangcheng, millions of talents only produced less than a hundred points?" Lin Tuo asked in surprise.

Immediately, the answer of Derivative Sand Table emerged in my mind:

[Collecting ether through the sand table will produce a lot of conversion loss...]

The explanation was very long, and Lin Tuo closed his eyes and combed it before understanding 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 will cause a great loss 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, the absorption of ether is not limited to the sand table. After mastering the gas method, Lin Tuo can also directly absorb this gas through breathing.

However, the efficiency is lower than that of the sand table... and a lot of time will be wasted, so in general, it is more cost-effective to use the sand table than to spit out and practice.

"Then how can I get more Ether? Can I only wait for it to regenerate slowly?"

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

According to the information he received, the natural formation of ether was very slow. This time the harvest was empty, and it would take many days before Yangcheng's ether concentration could recover.

[Trigger keywords, put forward requirements for the host, now give two feasible solutions]

[Option 1: Purchase area in the mall to expand the scope of observation mode]

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

It is very simple. If the ether exists widely in cities and villages, then he can only absorb the scope of Yangcheng. As long as the observable city scope in the sand table is expanded, he can absorb ether from other cities.

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

"But... this doesn't work..." Lin Tuo thought for a while, his expression a bit bitter.

The price in the mall requires 1,000 points for 10,000 square kilometers, but I only have 98 points... not enough.

Even if you vomit all the ether in your body, you can't afford it, unless you slowly accumulate, wait until you accumulate to 1,000, and then expand the area.

But, then I don’t know how long to wait...

He probably sensed his emotions, and new information appeared in his mind again:

[Scheme 2: Use the "creative model" of the derivation sand table to provide a new source of ether]

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

This mode is located below the "observation mode".

But it is not clear what it means.

In the next second, a long explanation turned into a stream of information, flooding his mind.

simply put.

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

Then, the "creative mode" is to use the derived sand table to select areas on the earth to establish an independent sandbox, or to "cut out" a certain part of the earth.

"Isolate" open as an independent space.

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

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

"Use a certain real area on the earth as a sandbox to evolve civilization and harvest ether... As for playing so big?"

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

The civilization made by Lin Tuo really exists on the earth!

Moreover, any life and matter he created in the sandbox existed on the earth in a 1:1 ratio.

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

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

And once he lifted the isolation of the sandbox, mankind would be surprised to discover that an unheard of wisdom civilization was born on the entire barren Antarctic continent...

How big a sensation will this cause?

With heaven and earth as the chessboard, every move of Lin Tuo will set off global storms.

"There is no... anything else, a gentler plan?" Lin Tuo swallowed and tried to ask.

……

"Well, it doesn't seem to be true, so it's not difficult for you." Lin Tuo sighed, rubbed his face, and started thinking seriously.

Although at first hearing this plan, I felt a little outrageous, but after thinking 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.

"Or, try first?"

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

The page changes.

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

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

Yes!

A dynamic world map appeared in the entire sand table!

It's just that, unlike the observation mode, this map is a bit illusory, you can't see the details, and only a few continents and oceans around the world can be identified.

In the direction Lin Tuo was facing, the closest to him was the white Antarctica. When he moved his eyes forward, he could see a piece of land hanging in the sea.

"Australia."

Lin Tuo uttered softly. Although the global map in front of him had no text marks and no division of territories, a continent with obvious characteristics like Australia could still be recognized at a glance.

"If this is Australia, then the blue area on my right hand should be the Pacific Ocean, and the left hand 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 blocks, and text logos, the world map in front of me is suddenly strange.

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

At this time, Lin Tuo also noticed that there was a faint grid on the map that cut the global area into one square after another.

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

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

Information emerged in his mind, and Lin Tuo was taken aback and understood its meaning. Similar to the observation mode, the sandbox he wanted to create was also restricted. Currently, he could only choose 300,000 square kilometers of land.

As for whether the capacity can be expanded in the future, it is unclear.

"If the area is too small, I am afraid that no civilization can be derived at all, and the amount of Ether provided will be very small..." Lin Tuo muttered to himself, secretly calculating, feeling that he must use the 300,000 quota as much as possible...

"Where should I choose?"

Lin Tuo's eyes swept across the seven continents.

"Well...you can't choose a densely populated place, otherwise you won't be the Demon King...you can only choose a deserted land...Antarctica is big enough, but the location is too special, and it's too far...Huh?"

Suddenly, when Lin Tuo's gaze swept across the northwestern part of China, he suddenly stopped.

There is the largest "no man's land" in the country-Tuck Desert.

"I remember reading in the book before that the total area of ​​this desert is 330,000 square kilometers..." Thinking of this number, Lin Tuo suddenly had an idea in his heart: it's it!

It's about the same size and barren enough.

Just in the country, close enough to yourself.

Moreover, over the years, the country has been carrying out greening projects, and countless people hope that the desert will become an oasis. If this is chosen as a sand table, it may directly change the ecological environment here.

If you close the sandbox later, you might be able to benefit the local area.

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

"What if there are humans and buildings in the area I choose?"

Lin Tuo tried to ask.

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

"Can it be like this?"

Lin Tuo was startled, the last doubt in his heart dissipated.

Immediately leaned over and started to operate.

Every time his hand touches an illusory grid, it means that the area is selected.

Because the entire desert is not in a regular shape, this really wastes his strength, and in the process, the buildings that need to be transferred-mainly a few desert roads are selected and marked to move.

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

[The selection is complete, do you want to build a sandbox in the selected area?

"Yes!"

[The host has confirmed that the sandbox area is "cleaning"... the selected building is moving... the isolation hood is being generated...]

Information emerged in his mind, and then the entire sand table changed and the world map disappeared, leaving only the desert area selected by Lin Tuo.

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

...

...

at the same time.

In the endless Tuck Desert, it is the afternoon when the sun is the most poisonous.

In this Gobi and desert made of gravel, a few cars are rushing along a pitch-black highway.

This is a small well-known film and television crew, who specially came to this inaccessible place for filming.

Inside the car.

"Probably how long will it take to get to the place." A member of the crew fanned the wind and wiped his sweat, looking at the Populus trees on both sides of the road, and couldn't help saying.

The reporter next to him glanced at his phone and said: "Hurry up, what anxious, this will be poisoned by the sun, why are you going out in a hurry..."

"Hey, why is my GPS malfunctioning...Is this map application broken?"

"What's the matter?" someone in the car asked.

"My phone's map positioning seems to be out of order. I was still here just now. Why suddenly, the map shows that we have run dozens of kilometers away..."

Chang Ji was spitting out with puzzlement, when suddenly he heard the driver exclaimed, "Fuck!"

Even the whole car started to slow down.

"What's wrong?" Everyone in the car was startled and looked around.

Then, I saw the driver looking at the ghost, pointing to the front windshield, his face turned pale, his expression was frightened, and his speech was confused: "We...not...the road...it..."

"What's the matter?"

"We... the road under our feet seems... shifted!"

...

At this moment, Tuck Desert.

The four desert highways quietly "moved" at the same time!
