Creating a Sandbox World

Time has accelerated again.

When Lin Tuo put down his bowl and chopsticks and returned to the room again, what he saw was the rapidly restored human kingdom.

The farewell of the three great masters may be a very important scene in their mutual memory, but on the scale of time and space, it has not even been recorded in the operational log.

In the two worlds, inside and outside, there are also very few who know this story.

Lin Tuo shifted the gears of time, so the times continued and rolled forward.

Visible to the naked eye, the damaged buildings on the North and South Continents and Ninedalian Island have been restored. The ruined city is lit up again, and the day and night cycle back and forth countless times.

The taller buildings are taller, the population is larger, the economy and culture are more prosperous, and the world is more lively.

Nothing seems to have changed.

If there is, it is probably because people in their lives occasionally raise their heads from being busy, and they will find with some doubts that the pace of the world seems to have become faster.

In the year of the evolution of the world, the disaster caused by the prayer candle has gradually become history. On the anniversary, the whole world has restored prosperity.

In the same year, the entire human kingdom formulated two extremely important treaties. First, the North Continent Kings Union signed a hundred-year peace treaty to eliminate all military actions, and agreed on a series of details to strengthen coordinated development.

Subsequently, in the southern mainland, the then emperor Li Mou went north for the first time, visited the three kingdoms, and signed a commercial import and export treaty... to further open up North-South trade...

The introduction of the Northern Chamber of Commerce, for a time, a large amount of money poured in... the southern country ushered in vigorous development.

…The following year, the southern mainland sent thousands of students to the northern countries for further study, and the North-South integration intensified

... In the same year, the Southern Mining Corporation, which is jointly owned by the four major countries, was listed to mine the rich underground minerals in the southern continent.

The steam enveloped the entire mine field, booming endlessly, and drove the vigorous development of surrounding industries. In only one year, the range of mine laying exceeded the historical total of the southern country...

Standing by the sand table, under Lin Tuo's gaze, the entire southern continent expanded rapidly under the effect of "zooming".

The continuously rising, non-stop steam almost formed a cloud, which was spectacular.

Externally, this is a commercial activity at the national level. The relatively backward development of the Southern Continent obtains aid and capital investment from the North at the expense of locally stored minerals.

At the same time, the supporting industries of the entire heavy industry are slowly moving southward.

However, Lin Tuo, who participated in the "Hundred-Year Plan" throughout, knew that this was an important part of the plan.

The so-called mining of minerals is not completely false, but it is more important to cover the implementation of the "refuge" plan.

Simply put, in the "Great Ice Age" era, fragile humans could hardly survive on the surface, so they could only go underground, and it just so happened that they already had the relevant capabilities.

The subway in Winton Metropolis is proof.

The so-called "refuge" plan is a resolution proposed by Lin Tuo, discussed and discussed by the remaining seven people.

That is, in the warmer South Continent, it took a hundred years to unearth an underground world that could enable tens of millions of people to live.

This is of course a very ambitious plan.

If you want tens of millions of people to survive, it can't be solved by digging a big mine. It requires a lot of planning and inspection and countless tests.

How to ensure the normal production of living materials, how to obtain enough light, oxygen, water... to sustain the consumption of tens of millions of people, how to obtain enough energy to resist the cold, how to ensure that the future underground world, people from different regions can be relatively stable The coexistence of the land, the reduction of military force and cultural riots, conflicts, how to provide enough jobs, promotion system, so that the social infrastructure can function normally after being transferred underground... There are too many to consider...

And the most basic, how to obtain enough social resources to invest in this grand plan never seen in the history of human development?

All of these have been placed on the round table, but they have also come up with solutions one by one in the long discussion.

"Opening up countries, especially North-South trade, is to activate as much as possible, create social wealth, and mobilize the power of the whole society in this way...

The purpose of overseas students and investment in setting up factories is to enable the southern mainland to catch up and surpass relatively backward within a hundred years.

In this process, the cultures of the North and the South will also be further integrated, reducing the cultural barriers between the two places, and paving the way for immigrants in a century...

The projects led by the state transfer wealth and population to the south in a relatively obscure and imperceptible way...

This is a relatively unlikely way to cause a sharp social backlash."

Lin Tuo quietly overlooked the southern mainland where the sand table was prospering at a speed visible to the naked eye, muttering in his heart.

In my mind, I can't help but come to mind, not long ago, when everyone was discussing at the round table.

Of course, this is a decision that requires unparalleled courage.

Moreover, all parties should try their best to fight for the

Take equity...After all, although survival is the first goal.

But as a king, it is necessary to fight for rights and interests, whether it is from selfishness, interests, or the illusory theory of responsibility.

"In this process, the Southern Continent will receive a large amount of resource tilt and assistance from the northern countries, overt or secret blood transfusion... so as to quickly rise and become the new hegemon of this world.

However, this is also not without cost.

Correspondingly, the emperor of the southern kingdom must continuously cut off rights and interests, hand it over to the northern countries, and endure the erosion, assimilation, suppression, and even the sacrifice of certain sovereignty by the three kingdoms.

In this way, the four forces can obtain as much power as possible to check and balance each other in the future integration."

Lin Tuo whispered softly.

It must be admitted that if he is not watching the whole process, he has to design it himself, and he is likely to ignore this demand.

He can even predict that if the disaster can survive the disaster, the future underground world will probably be a complicated situation similar to "four political parties" ruling at the same time.

Of course, in the dynamic struggle, it may also change from four to three, one...or reversely divided into dozens of seats...

In the end, which side has the advantage, which side will disappear... It depends on the result of their game.

"But those are all things that have nothing to do with me."

Lin Tuo gathered his thoughts from the state of wandering boundlessly, and smiled self-deprecatingly:

"Of course, the premise is that humans can survive this winter together."

...

A hundred years in the sandbox is not long for Lin Tuo, but it is also not short-lived.

As the complexity of society continues to increase, the time flow gap between the sandbox and reality has also narrowed.

In the first half day, in the originally low cities of the Southern Continent, the high-rise buildings were uplifted, and the factories were still fast. It was almost a goof, and a new urban area was added to the originally barren land.

In the afternoon, this speed slowed down significantly.

Waiting the next day, it became more and more slow.

Moreover, this situation is still intensifying with the development of civilization.

Lin Tuo estimated that with this rhythm, in reality, it will take at least several days before it may go through a hundred years.

The "Hundred-Year Plan" did not bring social development to a halt or retreat. On the contrary, it moved forward more violently and at a nearly sprint speed.

This is of course the result of joint stimulation and cooperation among all countries.

And then, in addition to the slower time flow, there are also increasing log entries:

In the year of the world's evolution, the Fryer Kingdom Laboratory successfully obtained edible plants from many cold-resistant species brought back from the poles, and cultivated them on a large scale in a simulated environment, becoming the first edible and cold-resistant crop

The following year, the Kingdom of Winton taught wizards and scholars to improve the magical heat source amplification model and achieved experimental success

In the same year, the first magic heat source steam boiler was successfully developed and quickly promoted and applied to the royal industry on a large scale, collecting and using data for iteration

In the first year..., the new steam mining machine was put into the Southern Continent. The emperor at that time ordered the construction of a large altar for sacrificial activities, and the consumption of ore increased.

In the first year..., the first steam and magic hybrid car appeared in the Aspen Kingdom. In the same year, the Kingdom Automobile Manufacturing Plant was established.

...

In the first year... King Edward of Winton fell ill and died, and was succeeded by his eldest son Edward II. In the same year, the Winton Grand Council proposed to reduce the kingdom’s external expenditures and abolish the multiple decree promoted by the old king.

In the first year... the people of the Aspen Kingdom marched. King Ferdinand sent troops to suppress it, and the kingdom was turbulent for a while.

The following year, Ferdinand died of a serious illness, the new king came to power, promulgated 11 new policies, announcing the tearing up of the 100-year peace treaty, and a large-scale army expansion... It was night, accidentally died in the bedroom, suspected to be assassinated by a dark magician, the kingdom was in turmoil, February Later, Ferdinand’s third daughter enthroned and became queen, and the turmoil ceased

In the first year..., the emperor of the Southern Kingdom ordered one hundred thousand soldiers and civilians to be recruited, the treasury was emptied, the whole country borrowed money, and a thousand giant altars were built within the border to please the gods.

In the first year..., the climate turned cold, the polar regions expanded, the snowy beasts' range of activities expanded, revealing abnormalities, and the north and south poles were mutated...

...

In the first year, the world’s seasons are abnormal, the four seasons are disorderly, and the polar ice sheets are expanding abnormally

...

Reminder: Delay the exhaustion of computing power, the total extension time is February 99 and 25 days

Warning: Due to the chaotic weather system data, the sandbox environment is about to usher in the "Great Ice Age", which is expected to pose a greater threat to the survival of internal life. Please be aware.Return to TD to unsubscribe

...

On the fifth day after the round table meeting, on a bland morning, sitting on Lin Tuo's retina in front of the computer, the virtual panel popped up automatically, and again received the very familiar reminder message.

Turning his head, looked at the derivation sand table on his side.

Lin Tuo let out a sigh of relief and stood up in the spring of spring.

Sandbox No. 2 finally ushered in the catastrophe a hundred years later.
