The number of Yangcheng practitioners increased again.

At night, when Lin Tuo confirmed this through the sand table, there was no fluctuation in his heart.

This is as it should be.

As early as a few days ago, he had already guessed that as the number of Breath Technique practitioners was steadily increasing, the attention involved in the Oasis and Pacific events faded, and the value of the Qi-Gas Method would definitely be taken seriously.

The question is only how the upper echelons view it.

Now, the result is out.

The opening of the school curriculum is an unusually clear signal. According to experience, the pilot project will surely be promoted nationwide once it succeeds.

Of course, it will take some time.

As for why the student group was selected as the pilot, according to Lin Tuo’s conjecture, one is to facilitate the collection and management of data, and the other is that the data he obtained from the sand table observation shows that the young student group is far more advantageous than the other age groups in practice. .

"It's this self-cultivation hall...Could it be that the country already knows that physical exercise can speed up the absorption of ether?"

Lin Tuo thought secretly and decided to observe for a period of time.

In addition, an interesting finding is that there is almost no news on the Internet about the Yangcheng pilot project.

Except for some local group chats in Yangcheng, there are discussions in the community.

The outside world, major social media, platforms, and collective silence are as if they were deliberately blocking news.

...

...

In the next few days, Lin Tuo's life was very regular, Huaxi was already familiar with the boxing table, and Lin Tuo began to teach her some skills gradually.

The study of magic books progressed steadily, through which he had a clearer understanding of the use of the power of the ether and the deep principles.

This unexpectedly made his control of Huabingquan much more refined.

On the Internet, there is still not much news about cultivation, but in Yangcheng, it has become a common practice. Once in a park, you can see many people meditating together.

Daily greetings have also evolved from "did you eat?" to "did you practice?"

Compared to the "calm" of reality, the sand table is changing with each passing day.

...

"The human race is expanding." In the early morning, when Lin Tuo came to the sand table and leaned down, he saw that on the northern and southern continents, the sphere of human influence was further expanding.

Originally, although the Draé Kingdom and the rest of the nations, large and small, had a firm foothold, there were still a lot of places on this continent that had not been excavated.

Especially remote mountains, forests, river valleys... If the plains belong to humans, then the vast forests are the paradise of "Warcraft".

As humans evolve, the mutant beasts that were transferred to the past are also multiplying.

"Huh." Gently blowing away the floating clouds above the sand table, Lin Tuo's eyes swept across the mountains and the earth, visible to the naked eye, the area of ​​several forests ruled by monsters began to shrink.

The scale of human cities is expanding.

Of course, an eternal war is inevitable in the process.

When Lin Tuo observed for a short time, he saw smoke of gunpowder in the territory of the Kingdom of Drei, and wars filled.

Open the running log and flip forward, as expected:

[The first year of the world evolvement... In the first year of the evolution of the world, the headquarters of the Dre Kingdom church was destroyed, and religious power fell to the bottom. Within a month, the then king issued 13 government orders to rebuild the church and weaken the religious power. The countries of the northern continent followed... …Following this, the teaching power is in name but not real, and it becomes a vassal of the royal power...

[However, the rise and fall of the dynasty has its own determinants, and the resumption of the religious power created the final glory of the Drei Kingdom. Since then, the old king has become increasingly faint, the court is in chaos, the power of local lords has risen, and the external countries are all around]

[After thirty-eight years of the contemporary king’s reign, he suddenly encountered illness and died overnight. The domestic turmoil. The Duke of the South became independent and proclaimed himself a duchy. In two years, the Duke of the East and the North joined forces to rebel and attacked the capital. The civil war started, only five years later. In the month, the royal family was buried in the sea of ​​fire,

[But the war did not end there. The disintegration of the old dynasty meant the birth of a new dynasty. In the following 11 years, the Northern Continent was in turmoil and various kingdoms and principalities annexed each other.]

[During the process, the power of the wizard gradually weakened, and the reduction of natural talents finally allowed this force to completely withdraw from the stage of history. Instead, it was based on the cultivation method, and the magic developed into the branch of the extraordinary force]

[At the same time as the human wizards dissipated, in the distant ocean, the sea tribe group that gained cultivation abilities was rapidly expanding]

[At the same time, the Southern Continent, which was originally chaotic and lacking a unified government, has undergone a series of changes. The descendants of the apocalyptic wandering in ancient times, the rise of the Dingnan Li family, who inherited the "ancient surname", was named Dingnan. Wang, in eighteen years, swept the South Continent, established a unified regime, controlled North-South trade, and opened up trade ports... The population of the South Continent expanded rapidly]

...

[At the time of political changes in the North and South continents, between the two continents, in the area of ​​Jiudalian Island where extraordinary power is scarce, navigation and shipbuilding technologies have developed rapidly. Human interest in the ocean is increasing day by day. The group of adventurers has blown out. With support, go deep into the ocean, expand the chart, search for islands and products... the era of great navigation begins]

...

Lishan, in the study.

The sun was just right in the early morning, and Lin Tuo looked at the newest one at the end of the log, which had information about the "Great Navigation Era", and fell silent.

When he turned his gaze on the Jiudalian Island, the "zoom" function was activated, and the entire sand table continent quickly opened up. With nine large islands as the skeleton, hundreds of small islands are scattered, and the area of ​​the north-south axis suddenly becomes clear.

Lin Tuo looked at the large ports. Under the effect of time acceleration, like time-lapse photography, the densely packed dock workers worked day and night like time-lapse photography, just like hard-working worker ants. Large ships headed toward the depths of the ocean without fear of death.

Many of them deviated from the course and sank in storms and rocks.

Others turn back to land before the supplies are exhausted.

But the overall trend is getting deeper and closer to the "boundary" of the sandbox.

"Sure enough... when technology develops to this stage, exploring the world is inevitable." Lin Tuo looked down at the "fastest" ship that was also the closest to the border.

With time accelerating, Lin Tuo is not sure how long it has been sailing, but it can be observed on a macro scale, which is already an extremely rare event.

Without paying attention, he has already traveled to the depths of the storm sea, and is about to reach the end of the world.

"No, you have to do something... at least, delay the time they discover the boundary of the sandbox." With the experience of Sandbox No. 1, Lin Tuo didn't dare to care about it.

After thinking about it, he slowly leaned over and breathed hard towards the edge of the sandbox and the isolation hood area.

Because there is no speeding up of the closing time, this tone is enough to set off a storm that lasts for several years and decades.

...

...

In the depths of the Pacific Ocean, huge black boxes are quietly embedded on the surface of the earth, covering the sea and sealing up a large area under the ocean.

It is so quiet that it is as silent as the surrounding islands, which have existed for thousands of years, tens of thousands of years, and even longer.

However, the black box is facing east, inside.

On the boundless ocean, there is a weather-beaten ship, unswervingly driving toward the "border".

...

"Boom!"

The climate on the ocean is always weird and changeable, especially in the sea of ​​storms.

Perhaps the last second was still a clear sky, and the next second was full of clouds.

At this moment, the sky is full of dark clouds, the sea is raging gusts of wind, electric snakes flicker, turbulent waves are rolling, and the sky is dark between the sky and the earth, as if even the sea water has become turbid mud.

On the sea, a weather-beaten ship is shaking violently with the waves.

Its masts have all been lowered to minimize the impact of wind, and only the navigation lights fixed on the top of the cabin release the last glimmer of light.

On the deck, the chief officer fixed himself with a rope, holding on to the handrails, looking terrified:

"Captain! It looks like a hurricane belt ahead!"

"No, the climate in this sea area is too weird!"

"If you continue to sail, it is too dangerous!"

Those who can support this place are experienced crew members. Along the way, we have encountered dangerous scenes many times. However, feeling the extremely fierce storm in the sea ahead, they are also fearful. mood.

Return home!

Must return home!

Moving forward, their ship is likely to be torn to pieces by the hurricane!

However, the "Captain" standing at the forefront just held the fence firmly with one hand, his body was fixed like a nail, and his right hand pressed a single telescope on the sunken eye socket.

Through the lens barrel, he could clearly see the huge tornado that stretched across the entire sea in the gray sky and earth ahead.

They don't know where they come from, like mountains that are difficult to climb, completely blocking the road ahead.

Even powerful transcendents cannot move forward in this environment.

The most important thing is that, according to his observations, this storm zone does not seem to be accidental, but a continuous existence, day and night, covering a very wide area.

There is no possibility of bypassing.

"Just return like this?" Standing in the wind and waves, the captain didn't seem to hear the thunder, or the shouts of the men behind him. There was only this thought in his mind.

As the most "crazy", bravest, and most experienced and adventurous navigator on Jiudalian Island, he has a paranoia that ordinary people can't understand.

In the past few decades, he has tried to go out to sea five times. The first four were accidents and were interrupted.

Now, he is over fifty years old. Even if he cultivates since childhood, his body is stronger than ordinary people, but the hidden diseases accumulated on his body are about to be overwhelmed.

It can be said that this is his last voyage.

Once you give up, there is no hope.

Thinking of this, the middle-aged man silently put down the telescope, and then said, "Go on!"

"What? Captain you..."

"I said, continue!"

In the silence, I don't know how long it has passed, and how many psychological struggles they have experienced. These confidant crew members said nothing, holding the determination to see death as home, silently adjusting the ship, and sailing straight ahead.

"Crack!"

Just after the ship reluctantly pushed forward several hundred meters, the old sea ship was finally overwhelmed, shattered, cracked, and broken into countless planks under the torn of two waves.

The only a dozen people left on the boat also exclaimed and fell into the ocean.

"Are you going to die..."

The same thought arose in their hearts, and in the next second, a long and gentle sound echoed in their ears, as if the singing of sea water hitting the beach.
