Creating a Sandbox World

Chapter 4 Choosing a Desert

In the patio, the summer is scorching, and the fist wind blowing 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 originally thought that it would take some time to pick up Kung Fu after I came back from resignation, but I never thought... It just absorbed the ether of Yangcheng city, and the whole person was not only reborn, but also merged 20 years of learning in one fell swoop, pushing Wuzu Huabingquan to Xiaocheng realm.

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

He 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 had obtained, the natural formation of ether was very slow. This time the harvest was empty, and it would take several days for the ether concentration in Yangcheng to recover.

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

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

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

Quite simply, if the ether exists widely in cities and villages, now 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 face a little 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 regions on the earth to establish an independent sandbox, or to "cut out" a certain part of the earth.

"Isolated" opened 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 closing the door and tinkering with a sandbox world yourself.

The civilization created 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 more gentle 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, the feasibility is actually very high. Not all areas on the earth are inhabited by people.

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 period of hesitation, Lin Tuo returned to the old house and went to the sand table. With his mind, he clicked the "Creation Mode" button on the virtual panel.

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 can only identify a few continents and oceans around the world.

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

"Australia."

Lin Tuo spit out words gently. Although the global map in front of him has no text marks and no division of territories, a continent with obvious characteristics like Australia can 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, the distinction between color blocks, and the text logo, 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 on the map, there was a faint grid that cut the global area into one block 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 can 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, and felt that he had to use the 300,000 quota as much as possible...

"Where should I choose?"

Lin Tuo's eyes swept across the seven continents of the world.

"Well...you can't choose densely populated places, otherwise you won't be the Demon King...you can only choose deserted land...Antarctica is big enough, but the location is too special and too far away...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 this desert has a total area of ​​330,000 square kilometers..." Thinking of this number, Lin Tuo suddenly had an idea in his heart: this is it!

It's about the same size and barren enough.

Just in the country, close enough to yourself.

Moreover, in recent 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 in the future, you may also benefit the local area.

As for the possible negative problems...with your own "creator" guarding, 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 still do 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 the location of the shift is marked.

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 sand and gravel, a few cars are rushing on 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 trees on both sides of the highway, 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 wrong?" someone in the car asked.

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

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

Even the whole car started to slow down.

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

Then, I saw the driver looking at a ghost, pointing to the front windshield road, his face turned pale, his expression frightened, and his speech 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!
