Create a sandbox world
Chapter 241: One billion wishes
Just this winter morning, there were some interesting changes in the royal court.
Rumor has it that the master of the alchemy workshop, Qingkong, somehow rushed to the alchemist association, and then, his husband and wife entered the royal city in a pair.
And before noon used the communication towers standing all over the royal court to issue an urgent recall order.
As a result, a number of the kingdom's top alchemists rushed to the association.
For the moon people, this is certainly a new thing worth discussing, only unfortunately, no matter how to pry, did not explore to understand, only vaguely know that a group of people opened a mysterious project.
......
Earth.
After handing over the prayer candles to the moon tribe, Lin Tuo then also waited patiently.
Of course, this does not mean that he did not do anything.
Whether it was the control of a subtle spell like "magic mailman", or the creation of a second system, or even a third, all took up a lot of his time.
Especially the latter, the previously manufactured set was given to Hua Xi to connect to the Tian Yuan continent.
On the north and south continents, Lin Tuo felt the need to create a set as well.
Not only was it convenient for him and Hathaway to get in and out, but if everything went well, he thought it could also be used to speed up the integration of Earth and the sandbox afterwards.
The enemy is now, and the development of the Earth is just on the right track, this speed is really difficult for Lin Tuo satisfied.
Lighting up the entire region of the Earth is even more distant.
So, let the two worlds communicate with each other to some extent, it becomes a thing that needs to be planned.
"Directly open the isolation shield is still too rough, will lead to too many unpredictable chain problems, so, through the stargate gradually deepen understanding may be more appropriate."
Lin Tuo already has a certain idea about this, but to really implement it, but not that fast.
In this busy life, a week passes in a flash.
Time turned to February 1, Lin Tuo also finally received a signal from the Moon Sea continent.
......
When Lin Tuo once again flew into the Moon Clan's royal court as a splitter, the silly Moon Tree that had greeted him in advance finally did not drop its leaves again.
Using the invisibility charm and concealing his form, Lin Tuo walked through the streets of the royal court's capital city, making comparisons with his memory, which was also interesting.
There are many more alchemical products in the city, and some floating flying machines make Lin Tuo even tsk-tsk.
But this time the purpose was clear, and there was no delay. After a little observation, he arrived at the building complex of the King's Court Alchemy Association.
At this moment, according to his request, the rest of the personnel had already evacuated, leaving only a man and a woman, two figures standing nervously at the entrance of the main research room of the association.
The expressions were apprehensive and excited, and every now and then they would look up at the Earth overhead.
"Is it really this time? Why hasn't the teacher appeared yet?"
Sese, who was tall, with a delicate face and stepping on the prosthetic legs, clutched her hands in front of her body and couldn't help but look at her husband next to her.
Eight hundred years have passed, she has long since shed her youthfulness, her long soft silver hair tied into a bun at the back of her head, and on the bridge of her nose, she also has a pair of single-frame eye glasses with Aozora.
The upper body was dressed in a light-colored sweater and draped in a white fellows-style robe.
Excitedly, he walked in place in small increments, making a light click-clacking sound.
Next to him, the similarly attired Aozora was much calmer, explaining.
"I used the signal from the communication tower according to my teacher's letter and with the moon tree in transit, so I guess it was just a delay."
Her Highness Sesay, who is already a mother, nodded, then smiled to herself and said.
"I ...... I'm just a little nervous."
"I know."
"I also do not know, teacher this time to come over, what will be the appearance."
Qingkong sniffed, his eyes also revealed a trace of curiosity, and was about to speak, when suddenly, the couple heard a flat and slightly laughing voice coming from ahead.
"As I said, when we meet again, you will see my original appearance."
The two people were busy looking, they just saw the air fluctuate, a figure dressed oddly, but the aura of mystery slowly from the mid-air out, came to the two people, examined, lamented.
"Eight hundred years, you guys, and this world, has really changed a lot."
"You are ...... old ...... teacher?" Sese looked at Lin Tuo's figure in amazement, between the gods, can still glimpse some of the year of the girl's mood.
Lin Tuo nodded, smiling and said.
"Very different from what you thought?"
Sese, who is now a wife, suddenly blushed and stammered.
"No, it's just that we thought ...... thought ......"
Next to the mild temperament of Qingkong bitterly smiled and said.
"I and Sese thought that you should be an old man."
Lin Tuo laughed: "Appearance only, if you want, I can also change into the appearance of an old man, but you ...... really surprised me a little."
On the way, he also incidentally inquired about his two students, and learned that the two became a couple, and in the previous few years has given birth to a child news, Lin Tuo stunned while also some emotions.
This is only a month or so without seeing, people two children are playing soy sauce ...... themselves or single ...... think about it is also quite depressing.
The two people immediately a burst of embarrassment, like a child who has done something wrong generally lowered his head.
Lin Tuo see the situation put away the mind of joking, no small talk, straight to the point said.
"Well, let's talk about specific matters, is there any progress in the repair of the prayer candle?"
Hearing the main business, although extremely curious about Lin Tuo's situation over the years, there are too many words want to tell, but the two still forced to stop this many thoughts, Qingkong said.
"These days we gathered the entire king's court of high-ranking alchemists together to analyze, also did have some results, but ......"
"But?" Lin Tuo raised his eyebrows.
Sese explained: "We found a way to repair this alchemical product, but it can not be implemented."
Lin Tuo was slightly surprised and immediately said, "Take me to see."
"Yes."
The rest of the people were dispersed, the three immediately towards the building behind them, through the wide and bright corridor, up the stairs, and soon came to a large closed door.
Sese raised his hand and pressed the combination lock next to it, the door trembled and parted to both sides, and inside, there was a laboratory with silver and blue tones.
In the center of a ring-shaped laboratory table, he quietly placed an antique candlestick.
"According to our analysis, this item you sent belongs to the Mysterious Alchemy letter genus of creation ......"
Qingkong said, using his hand to press on the surface of the laboratory table, as if to verify the identity, and then, the entire ring-shaped facility lit up, and with a snap, a light curtain actually appeared.
Inside the light screen, then there is a prayer candle 3d model slowly rotating.
"We conducted a nondestructive test and tested it using virtual activation, and the final result surprised us, this candle may contain a large amount of spiritual material inside ......
And the latter, which we have never seen before, is an existence conceived in the doctrine you left behind back then, teacher."
Qingkong said, looking at Lin Tuo with an admiring gaze.
Eight hundred years, this is a long-lived moon people are not a short time, when the still basic rough alchemy has also changed radically.
Endless theories, technology flourished, completely changed the state of life of the Moon people, many of these technologies, but also has long exceeded the Lin Tuo left behind.
However, no matter how the technology changes, some basic theories are like the foundation of this alchemical building, unbreakable.
Among them is the so-called "spiritual matter", the moon people have never seen, over the years, not no one has questioned its existence.
As a result, just now, but in a gray candlestick suspected to see, he still remember, a week ago, the entire association of high-ranking alchemists in the discovery of this point after the face of the shocked emotions.
And hearing this answer, Lin Tuo but only slightly raised his eyebrows, secretly said: really!
"Go on." He concealed his anticipation and said.
Sese, who was dressed as a female researcher, but was actually the president of the Alchemy Association, interjected.
"This discovery has left us extremely shocked and excited, yet it is also because we have never seen this substance before, so we lack an effective means of detecting it.
In other words, this part of it is an unexplorable black box for us."
"So, we try to study the rest of it to start with ......"
Saying that, Sese raised his hand and touched the model in the virtual light screen, and the candlestick instantly disintegrated into three parts.
"According to our detection, its structure is not complicated, mainly consists of three parts, namely, the signal receiving area, the ability release area, and the energy supply area."
"Signal receiving area, i.e. the area for collecting instructions.
This part is interesting, this artifact's activation method is surprisingly fuzzy spoken code.
We tried to reverse parse it and found that you only need to open your mouth and use your voice to speak a specific combination of words to give commands to it, the specific command format is ......"
Lin Tuo's eyes flickered and he said, "I make a wish?"
Sese was stunned, thinking that his teacher really already knew something about it, and nodded his head and said.
"Yes, this is it, if our judgment is correct, this artifact activated, just say 'I make a wish + specific content' within a certain distance, it can make it give feedback ...... "
Lin Tuo nodded, not surprised by this: "Continue."
Next to him, Qingkong interjected.
"The second area, the ability release area, here actually contains two parts.
One that is the spiritual material gathering area we mentioned ...... which is also the source of the mysterious power, but we can not yet analyze.
The other one is the release port.
In other words, it receives a command, and then through the spiritual material for unknown transformation, become a spell, and then through the release port to cast out.
That is, here at the top candle flame of the candle, we completed the acquisition of its structure and authority."
After a pause, he continued.
"As for the energy supply area ...... this area is the most severely damaged of the three, according to our speculation, the way this artifact draws Etheric energy may be different from the other alchemical products."
"You mean ......," Lin Tuo gave him a look.
"The source," Qingkong said, "according to your theory, is the spirit world, it is possible that it can draw Etheric energy directly from the spirit world, thus supporting the operation.
However, this area is extremely broken, with our current technical capabilities, we have only recovered less than 20%, and there is nothing we can do about the rest."
Lin Tuo's heart moved, recalled the situation when the prayer candle self-destruction, secretly said really, this item can indeed draw power from the spirit world ......
This ability is powerful ah, but unfortunately broken.
Otherwise, after repairing and then get it to self-destruct once, will not be able to white whoring a lot of Ether ...... en, it is not easy to say, maybe need a certain price it.
Rambling thoughts, Lin Tuo will take it to heart, just listen to Qingkong continue to say.
"Of course, it can also absorb the Ether in the air itself, so in theory it should still be usable."
"But it's not responding right now." Rinto said.
"Yes," Sese said with a sigh, "that's what surprised us at first, not understanding what was going on.
After all, all three areas, technically speaking, were damaged, but not completely unresponsive, especially after we repaired them ......
So, we guessed that the problem still lies in those spiritual substances, and after many discussions, we had a guess."
"What guess?" Lin Tuo asked.
Sese said.
"It is our guess that it is likely that there is a medium of connection between the signal receiving area and the ability releasing area that has disappeared, and that is why it is causing this problem."
Lin Tuo's eyes twitched.
Medium?
He instantly remembered something that was suspected to be the "consciousness" that was forcibly erased by the diffusion sandbox ......
Originally, the prayer candle was self-aware, but then it was gone.
"We are not sure what this medium is, but felt its absence, and according to the stimulation theory ...... we tried to force it to wake up by entering commands, and it really had some effect."
Sese said.
See Lin Tuo doubts, she explained again.
Simply put, it is through high-frequency "wishing", the "sleeping" state of spiritual stimulation ...... little by little to make it active.
"This once made us very happy, think we found the right way, but soon, we found this method is difficult to act through." "Why?
"Why?"
"The number, the frequency," Sese said bitterly, "it does not accept machine disguised wishes, only intelligent beings wishing can, however, a single wish is too little stimulation ......
We calculated that even if the entire Moon clan was activated to make a wish through the radio, it would take a long time to wake it up ...... and we can't even do that.
The communication tower cannot support the communication of the whole clan at the same time.
And the worst part is that we found that only the wishing at nighttime is effective, and once it comes to daylight, this stimulation will fail ......"
Lin Tuo understood in seconds.
This is definitely the reason for the prayer candle rule.
He also remembered that this thing can only be used at night, and the wish only lasts for one night, and ends at dawn.
According to Sesay, even if all the moon people crazy wish tossing a night, the "number" of wishes can not reach the requirements, and once the dawn, the work will be abandoned ......
The next night, the equivalent of starting over ...... are not renewed ......
This is the pit ah.
But Lin Tuo in the initial surprise then, the mind suddenly flashed a crazy idea, so he first silent, and then slowly said.
"That is to say, as long as within a certain area around the candle in the course of one night, there is a sufficiently large number of wish requests, it is possible to break the connection and wake it up?"
Qingkong and Sese looked at each other and nodded, "Theoretically, that's true."
Lin Tuo asked again, "Then according to your estimation, how many wishes would be enough?"
"...... At least a billion times." Sese hesitated and said.
Lin Tuo's eyes grew brighter: "Only one billion times?"
He felt he had a thought.
