Create a sandbox world
Chapter 6 Miracles
The text displayed on the virtual panel does not appear at the same time.
After the first line of text appeared, there was a long interval before the second line was typed out, and then another interval was the third line.
During this period, Lin Tuo did not leave the old house, but moved a stool, patiently and curiously observe the changes in the sand table.
In these five hundred million years, the entire sand table has experienced countless times of rising and falling. The day and darkness simulated by the sandbox rotate continuously, and the light and shadow change.
Because the entire land has a single element, even such a long time did not cause too much trouble for Lin Tuo's observation.
In 500 million years, it was not "no change" as stated in the log.
Although there was no sign of the birth of life, there were several plate movements during the period. Volcanoes erupted, magma spread, and volcanic ash rose up, obscuring the sky.
Water vapor rises from the river, cloudless, and then it turns into rain.
Some hills were raised, some plains collapsed.
The entire land mass is elevated, the distribution of rivers has also changed, and on the four edges of the sandbox, there is a large area of ocean.
Because of so many changes, Lin Tuo didn't feel bored.
"Isn't it worth being recorded in the log without life..." Lin Tuo reluctantly spit, then cast his gaze towards the ocean, and found that the originally clear water seemed to be a little muddy.
[In the fifth billion years of the evolution of the world, the earliest simple life was born in the ocean, but their races just spread, they were forced to stop due to the world’s climate change]
[The Great Ice Age is here]
As this short line of text appeared in the operation log, Lin Tuo discovered that a blizzard was actually engulfed over the originally deserted sand table.
Because of the acceleration of time, the entire sand table quickly turned into pure white.
The temperature dropped sharply.
The whole continent became icy, the mountains and the land were covered by thick ice, and even the sea seemed to be frozen.
"Huh, it's cold." Lin Tuo only felt a cold air rushing toward him, but it was pretty good in this hot summer.
"There is also an ice age in the sand table?" Lin Tuo was somewhat surprised. In his opinion, the nature of the world in the sand table is different from reality after all, and the starting point is also different.
Like the early days of the earth, it is said that it was a liquid sphere shrouded in magma, and then slowly cooled.
However, the continent in the sand table had soil and water from the beginning, so in his opinion, its evolution process must be very different from the earth.
But never thought... there are also ice ages.
[The Great Glacier Period lasted for 1,843 years, and then, the climate gradually warmed, melting snow water nourished the entire world, the temperature rose, the ocean thaw, the evolution of life restarted, and the oxygen content in the air increased. Spread of algae in the ocean]
After another while, new text was clicked on the virtual panel.
Lin Tuo saw that the cold in the sand table began to subside, the land covered by ice and snow began to melt, large tracts of lakes appeared, and rainfall was frequent.
The ocean gradually turns green, which means the growth of plants.
"Plants have been developed so soon? Hmm...Plants have begun to land on land." Lin Tuo observed with interest that the green began to spread from the ocean to the land.
According to his limited biological knowledge, he guessed that this is probably the process of the transformation of gymnosperms to angiosperms.
It's a pity that these plants are too small to be observed at all. Lin Tuo doesn't have a microscope at hand, so he can't take samples. Instead, he turned out a magnifying glass, but it was unusable.
Simply give up.
As plants began to appear in the sand table, the interval between words appearing on the log began to shorten, and the flow of time seemed to slow down.
Of course, for life outside the sand table, the flow rate between the two is still amazing.
"It's already so late?" When Lin Tuo raised his head again, he found that the light in the room had dimmed. Outside the old house, the sun was slanting to the west. Unknowingly, he observed it all afternoon.
The sand table is still in the era of "plant reproduction".
"It seems that animals can't evolve for a while," Lin Tuo estimated, stood up, and was helpless, "I planned to clean up the house this afternoon, but what did I do?"
I sighed. Fortunately, most of the rooms have been cleaned, basic bedding and clothes are also included, and the utility bills have been paid, so there is no problem if you live in.
The only trouble is eating.
Lin Tuo thought for a while, planning to go to the town under 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, along the mountain road, backed by the sunset, and hurried to the town.
...
...
From time to evening.
The whole Lishan is covered with brilliant sunshine, and even the town under the mountain, when seen from a distance, has a touch of texture in anime.
This is where he grew up.
Lin Tuo sighed in his heart, nostalgic for no reason, and involuntarily walked towards a snack bar he liked to eat when he was in school.
However, as soon as he entered the town, he noticed something was wrong. On the side of the street, some townspeople gathered together, holding mobile phones and talking enthusiastically, with mysterious surprises on their faces.
"...I heard that, the black box over the desert confirmed it."
"Really? A rumor..."
"I don't know, watch the TV news tonight, maybe you will mention..."
The small town has a small population. Lin Tuo just listened a few ears. When he arrived at the shop, he realized that the diners inside were also talking about words such as "black box" and "desert".
"Has it spread? The sandbox I built really has an impact in reality?" Lin Tuo forcefully pretended not to care, and ordered dinner.
Then he took out his cell phone nervously and unmute it—he deliberately didn't watch it all afternoon.
As soon as he pushed the button, Lin Tuo only listened to a series of tones from the phone.
On the lock screen interface, there are densely packed message reminders. Except for a few spam messages that must be received every day, the rest are almost all group chat messages.
When he opened the software, his eyelids couldn't help but jumped down, and he saw that almost all of his groups had been awakened. The first few were already 99+.
And every second, a new message pops up. This time is just during dinner. Therefore, people are particularly idle in group chats.
Just click to open a group chat, and the discussion in it is in full swing.
"...Looking at the latest news I forwarded, the official media has spoken out!"
"Let me go, this is the final conclusion. There were people who said it was fake video before, and what about fake news?"
"But this... is incredible, isn't it? The entire Tuck Desert is just like that? It's silent? I still can't believe it..."
Lin Tuo silently refreshed the group chat information, his eyes gradually becoming more complicated.
Although he had already anticipated it, it was difficult for him to remain calm when he really saw the impact he had caused.
As I guessed it, the matter eventually spread.
Exiting the group chat, opening Weibo, and clicking on the hot search list, Lin Tuo unexpectedly discovered that the first hot search is "Tuck Desert Black Box".
Bottom, at a glance, related entries accounted for almost half of the entire list!
Click to open, Lin Tuo can see that the reading volume of the whole topic has broken the one billion times mark!
Of course, there must be a lot of moisture 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 sandbox has been completely wiped out.
In this era, the spread of hot topics is indeed terrifying.
Lin Tuo suppressed the surging emotions in his heart and looked at the top blog post.
##
According to the National Astronomical Observatory: At about 3:17 this afternoon, mysterious and irregular "black boxes" emerged over the Tuck Desert, covering the entire desert.
In addition, the four desert highways and some facilities and personnel were moved out of the desert under mysterious power...Relevant agencies have confirmed that the information is true and urgently organized an investigation team to go.
Please keep calm and refrain from spreading rumors or rumors...
After browsing the news content quickly, Lin Tuo let out a sigh of relief.
That's right.
Everything is the same as I imagined.
After starting the creative mode and selecting the big desert, in reality, the desert unmanned land in northwestern China has indeed changed.
The so-called "irregular black box" is the "isolation cover" from which the sand table is derived.
And changes of this scale, even if they happen in remote places, cannot be ignored. They exploded on the Internet within 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 highway, the surrounding area was full of vehicles, and it was messy and crowded.
The big background is a black "wall" that fills the entire picture.
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 before the video.
...
In the video.
A female reporter holding a microphone was standing under the "Magnificent Wall", facing the camera, and said excitedly:
"...As you can see, I am located in the northern part of the Tuck Desert at the moment, and under my feet is National Highway 318... Just a few hours ago, it was not here...
Yes, according to satellite calculations, the entire national highway nowadays, under the mysterious force, has moved significantly to the north..."
"On the side behind me, the'majestic wall' on the edge is almost invisible to the naked eye. It is the outer shell of the black box that covers the entire Tuck 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 taken, it was probably because the black box blocked the sun, and the wind nearby was very strong.
As a result, the female reporter shouted and spoke loudly throughout the process, and the wind curled up her hair from time to time.
After a brief introduction to the environment.
As the camera turned, the microphone suddenly pointed at a group of people around.
Lin Tuo Dun felt that a few people were slightly familiar, and quickly determined that this group of people were a certain 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 who found anomalies and gave feedback. Can you tell me the specific situation?"
After all, they appeared on the scene all the year round, and facing the camera, this group of people seemed particularly comfortable.
However, because of this, the expressions on their faces are also tense, and it seems that they have not yet completely calmed down.
"This is a miracle!" In the video, the director did not have the calmness of the past at this moment. He raised his hands excitedly, looked at the camera, his eyes were piercing, and he said:
"A miracle that is bound to make a global sensation!!!"
