Creating a Sandbox World Chapter 28: My journey is at the end of the world
In the hall of winter, when he heard these words, Governor Xizhou's expression changed significantly.
"Tell me carefully." He said quickly.
……
After a moment, a soldier quickly walked into the hall and presented a seal resembling a sapphire texture.
"According to you, this is the so-called'Secret Seal'? When the palace was about to break, the old queen used this thing to control the guards and palace men next to him in battle?"
The Governor of Xizhou, or the Emperor of the New Dynasty, looked at this exquisite seal.
is a circle smaller than Yuxi.
The shape is square and simple, and the surface has complex light gold lines, but it is dim at the moment.
"Yes." The new chief scientist of the empire said with emotion, saying:
"This is the most important 001 research project of the Research Institute in recent years. Except for a few people, it is highly confidential."
"This project has been carried out in secret for hundreds of years. At first it was because we accidentally observed a peculiar phenomenon between heaven and earth. We called it the ‘spiritual tide’.
That is, every once in a while, some kind of abnormal energy disturbance occurs between heaven and earth..."
"Accurately speaking, it should be some kind of interference. The research institute has studied and guessed that there is a kind of energy in nature that we cannot currently observe.
Every once in a while, this mysterious energy will, for some reason, rise and fall like a tide... thus disturbing the rest of the observable energy. "
"For this reason, the research institute has set up several observation stations on the high mountains to observe the'spiritual tide' for decades. Through calculations, we found that there is no regularity except for the first two intervals.
Afterwards, there is a phenomenon of diminishing function every time between the two spiritual tides.
Although there is an error, there is a regular curve.
Every time appears, it will continue for about three days.
Of course, some errors may also be caused by early observation methods and backward technology.
In short, we have determined the cycle of the spiritual wave and guessed that it is very likely to involve the nature of the world. "
"Unfortunately, although technology has been advancing, we still can’t observe that mysterious energy.
Until one time, a scientific expedition team sent by Kyoto accidentally discovered a strange ore in the southern foothills. The vegetation around the ore was exceptionally lush and very strange. "
"The location of the ore is exactly the direction of the ebb tide of the spiritual tide."
"We suspect that this ore may have accidentally absorbed mysterious energy under the long-term energy washout, so a special project team was set up to study it...
At that time, its project number was not 001..."
Speaking of this, the chief scientist looked with emotion and continued:
"After that, the research institute began to conduct research on this unknown energy based on ore...Because of the inability to observe, the research progress was extremely slow.
Fortunately, through constant exploration, we found that this piece of jade can indeed absorb mysterious energy automatically.
and, it seems to contain some extraordinary power...
give some stimulation to it, it can actually affect the human spirit..."
"...people who master it can use this thing to magnify their inner thoughts and forcibly interfere with human thoughts within a certain range, just like...hypnosis! Yes, hypnosis!"
" After realizing this, the Research Institute immediately reported it to Xian...Old King.
This became a top secret experiment, number 001.
We tried to decipher this hypnotic power from it, but unfortunately we lacked substantial progress.
Some people have speculated that this may involve the realm of gods..."
" Later, I had to cast it into a'secret seal' and kept it in the palace under the control of the old king. Later, the old king died and the secret seal fell into the hands of the queen. What happened after that... I know."
The voice of just fell.
After hearing this story, Governor Xizhou's eyes changed.
He pinched the secret seal a little nervously, and immediately stared at the chief scientist with a low voice:
"So, you mean that the person in charge of the secret seal can hypnotize others?"
"...Yes, but there are many restrictions such as distance and number of people. If the target brain is more active, the effect of hypnosis will be reduced."
Under the pressure of the governor, the chief scholar lowered his head, swallowed hard, and added:
" Also, every use will consume the energy inside the Seal of Light, so it can only be placed and waited for it to slowly recover... Previously, the queen used it once.
So, now it is bleak, unable to stimulate in a short time. "
After saying this, there was a long silence in the hall.
The atmosphere is abnormally depressed.
After an unknown period of time, the chief scholar finally tried to raise his head, and then, shaking his whole body, he found that the new emperor was staring at him.
"Your Majesty?"
"Tell me, this thing... how to use it!"
……
……
[World Evolvement in the summer of 741,049, the Governor of Daxizhou was crowned, and the country of Chi was changed to the new dynasty. He was the first emperor of the new dynasty. In the same year, many laws were issued to appease the people. End the war and recuperate]
On the running log, click, click, and words appear.
At the same time, Lin Tuo also discovered that the ether concentration on the virtual panel had also changed from the red downward arrow to the orange horizontal bar again, and after a few minutes, it returned to the green upward.
"Sure enough, when the civil war is over and society re-enters the era of peace, the ether will recover again."
Beside , Lin Tuo's nervousness suddenly eased.
As for the change of Chi State to the new dynasty... it is not surprising.
In fact, in his opinion, Chi Guo has been aging as early as two hundred years ago, but Lin Tuo "goes down to earth" and continued his life with scientific force.
Watching the sandpan continent continue to develop, Lin Tuo also relieved, turned to hold the computer, put on the headphones, and played a game.
恩, during this period of time, besides practicing and doing things, he was more busy than going to work. It was also necessary for him to take a day off occasionally to relax and entertain himself.
Not long, only the sound of typing on the keyboard and mouse is left in the room.
But Lin Tuo, who was concentrating on playing games, naturally didn't know that his movement of collecting ether last night would have been observed by humans in the sand table.
did not even think that his behavior of setting an alarm clock to wake up at regular intervals would be recorded carefully by the scientists in the sand table, summarizing it as a "spiritual cycle."
……
The sand table is still changing rapidly.
In a blink of an eye, the new emperor has been on the throne for one year.
Over the past year, the new emperor has begun to implement some reforms, but the main direction is to weaken local forces and strengthen centralization.
Obviously, as a local usurper, it is impossible for him to allow a second person to appear.
Aiming at the people's livelihood, it has drastically eliminated many of the ills accumulated during the Chi Kingdom period, severely killed a wave of corruption, rectified the officialdom, and gradually replaced the original administrative system with officials from the "small government" in Xizhou.
Through a series of methods and decrees, he has fully demonstrated his outstanding ability to govern the country... The whole society quickly stabilized, and moved forward to the electrical age at a faster speed.
is the opportunity of the era of transformation. New things appear every day. In just one year, people have adapted to the rule of the new dynasty.
Because of the merits of presenting the "Secret Seal", the chief scientist has been going smoothly this year. No matter how the officialdom changes, he has not been affected in any way.
has led several major inventions, and it has made him a celebrity beside the new emperor. For a while, the spring breeze is proud.
Until another cold winter, he was summoned to enter the palace again and into the conference room called Yushufang.
"Your Majesty."
stepping into the door, he saw that there was only the emperor in the meeting room. He was now facing the doorway and facing a map on the wall, as if in a trance.
"Ah, you are here, sit down." Hearing the call, the emperor came back to his senses and said with a smile.
"I wonder if your majesty summons ministers to come, what instructions do you have?" the chief scholar asked.
"Calling you, it is indeed a major event," the emperor did not go around the circle, and went straight to the topic, "I am going to set up a new laboratory in Daxizhou.
is doing a major research, and there is no person in charge. I don’t know if you are willing to accept it. "
"Daxizhou? New laboratory? Research?" The chief scholar was surprised and couldn't help asking, "What is it?"
"Border." The emperor turned around again, looked at the empire map on the wall, and slowly uttered a word.
"Border?"
Hearing this word, the chief scholar looked awkward.
In the empire, the term boundary has a special reference, and its full name is "world boundary".
That is, outside the continent, the end of the endless sea, the most edge of this world.
is more accurate, it is the magnificent, invisible "majestic wall".
It’s just that people outside the sandbox can clearly see the entire sandbox. For the empires inside the sandbox, their perception of the world is based on the sandbox environment.
Even if it is based on scientific calculations, only the results of sandbox simulation can be obtained.
many years ago.
Because of the backward navigation technology, the people of Chi country at that time did not know what the world looked like.
The fleet sent by will also leave the mainland and sail into the depths of the "Endless Sea" ~ IndoMTL.com~ encounters mysterious wind and waves and cannot move forward.
Until the start of the Industrial Revolution and the advancement of navigation technology, people finally broke through the dangerous sea and came to the end of the world.
found the huge wall.
and named it "boundary".
Countless scholars tried to break their heads, and they didn't know the material composition of the "boundary", let alone what was outside the boundary.
Even many scholars believe that there is no such thing as an "outside" boundary.
Some people think that beyond the "boundary" is the realm of the gods.
More than two hundred years ago, the saint who taught the world lived there.
Therefore, it has also become the ultimate and most mysterious thing in the imperial science field.
Sandbox people see the "boundary" just like the earth people see the "universe".
"Yes," in the meeting room, the emperor pointed to the map and said, "I wonder if you feel this way, the world we live in... is very small.
When I was in Daxizhou, I liked to go to the astronomical station to watch the stars at night. The mountains over there are very high and the distance to the stars is closer. This feeling is especially strong.
Especially after I took control of this country.
My chest is often suffocated and I feel out of breath.
According to your scientific community, human beings started out of recklessness and conquered nature, and then they have their current appearance. I often think these days, humans have conquered nature, and I have conquered this country, then...
What's next? What are we going to conquer? "
"What to conquer?"
The chief scientist asked subconsciously.
The emperor turned his head and stared at him, his eyes full of pressure:
"Border. I want to conquer it, no matter what the price!"
