Creating a Sandbox World Chapter 5: Genesis


  In this extraordinary afternoon, under the influence of the derivation sand table, the buildings selected by Lin Tuo shifted silently on this vast and desolate land.

   Even the people in it didn't notice anything abnormal.

   Until the satellite positioning deviated, a familiar city appeared at the end of the road.

   "Ah this..."

   "Damn it... how come we came here? This highway can't be here..."

  The convoy stopped one after another, and the entire crew jumped out of the car and gathered together under the blazing sun. Most of them were still at a loss, not knowing what happened.

   just asked each other in a mess, and soon everyone learned that at the moment they were waiting for others, they had walked out of the desert’s no man’s land strangely and came to the northern part of the Tuck Desert.

   "No, it's definitely not that we went wrong! This is the road! This desert road has moved more than a hundred kilometers to the north!" A deputy director said with eyes widened, holding his phone in disbelief.

   Immediately, I got a piece of doubt.

   After all, this statement is too incredible.

   However, in the next second, everyone suddenly felt cooler around them... To be precise, a huge shadow enveloped them in a blink of an eye. It seemed that something was covering the sun.

   "Ah! Look over there!" a protagonist suddenly pointed to the south and shouted.

   Everyone hurriedly watched, and then, the originally messy team was silent for a moment!

   I saw, right in front of them, a huge shadowy high wall slowly emerged in the twisted air. The wall was probably hundreds of meters or even kilometers high, and it spread infinitely in the east-west direction.

  Under the gaze of everyone, it turned from illusion to real matter in just a few breaths.

   seems to divide the world into two.

   If you pull the angle of view high enough, you will see it.

   At this moment, an extremely large, irregular, and impenetrable black "cover" is like a huge "bowl", covering the entire Tuck Desert for nearly 300,000 square kilometers. among them!

  ……

  ……

   Lishan, Wuguan, in a dilapidated old house.

   Lin Tuo stood beside the sand table, quietly watching a slightly dark translucent cover seal the sand table, and realized that this is the so-called "isolation cover".

   is also the shell of the "sandbox" in creative mode.

  According to the data in his mind, he knew that this barrier is extremely strong, and with the current civilization of the earth, it cannot be broken or detected.

   Although it appears translucent in the sandbox, in fact, it is insurmountable and prying for both the life inside the sandbox and the humans outside.

   As for the desert roads and several important engineering buildings he marked, the personnel have been safely moved outside the sandbox under the power of the evolving sand table.

   "I am afraid that the satellite has already noticed the abnormality at this moment. Soon, the news of the entire desert being isolated will spread..." Lin Tuo subconsciously glanced at the cell phone aside.

   hesitated, walked over to mute it.

  While he did this, the entire sand table was also changing, and an imperceptible force quietly swept across the vast desert.

   So, in the Tuck Desert, countless animals hidden under the yellow sand died at this moment.

  The plant withered within a few breaths.

   Lin Tuo is not surprised by this, knowing that this is part of the "antivirus".

   [Sandbox No. 1 has been constructed, and it is detected that the current environment is not suitable for evolving civilization, please provide the necessary basic materials...]

   A large piece of information flooded into his mind again, and Lin Tuo sorted it out. It probably means that the desert environment is too single and needs to be enriched by him.

   Apart from anything else, it is necessary to provide basic soil and water.

  Although these substances are also found in the desert, if Lin Tuo provides some help, it can save a lot of time for evolution.

   "Well... the sand must be removed first." Lin Tuo whispered to himself, and then walked out the door, turned his head to the utility room, found a shovel, and a small cart came out.

   stopped the car at the door, Lin Tuo took a shovel into the house, took a deep breath, and shoveled a sand dune.

  According to the information given by the evolving sand table, he knows that in the creative mode, his actions will not affect the area outside the sand table.

   That is, even if you dig down hard, you don’t have to worry about causing an earthquake.

   "Isolation hood" does not only exist on the surface, but separates the Tuck Desert from the earth in all directions.

   "Start."

   followed Lin Tuo and raised the shovel.

  Tak Desert area.

   Over the 300,000 square kilometers of land isolated, the air was slightly distorted, and immediately, a shovel that covered the sky and sun appeared!

   The shovel fell mercilessly, and easily picked up a sand dune weighing hundreds of billions of tons, uplifted it, and lifted it to the sky.

  , after reaching a certain height, suddenly disappeared with the huge shovel.

  In the desert, only a terrifying pit was left.

   "Wow."

   poured a shovel of sand into the cart, Lin Tuo curiously reached out and touched it, and found that the "sand" was as small as dust.

  "It seems that there is a size-ratio conversion mechanism inside this sand table. When ordinary things enter from the sand table, they will be enlarged.

   The normal size of gravel, as long as it is taken out of the sand table, will be as tiny as dust. "

   Lin Tuo retracted his hand, his eyes thoughtful.

  It feels...it’s amazing.

   shook his head. Lin Tuo didn't think much anymore. He seized the time and got busy again. After a few minutes, he shoveled out a whole sand table and poured it on the open space in the backyard of the martial arts hall with a cart.

   waited to clean up the entire Tuck Desert, and Lin Tuo turned to dig earth and rocks.

   "The more complex the basic material of the sand table, the less difficult it is to derive." Lin Tuo murmured softly, and then began to dig the soil from the back mountain and transfer it into the sand table.

The backyard of    Martial Arts Hall is a forest with bamboos and flowers and plants. Although it appears to be decayed because it has not been cleaned for a long time, the soil here is really good.

  During the transfer process, Lin Tuo also discovered that when he put the soil in the backyard into the sand table, the minute he entered the isolation cover, the tiny creatures in the soil would die, and the color of the soil even changed.

  The area of ​​the sand table is not small, and Lin Tuo tossed it back and forth several times before it was considered full.

   Immediately, he took water from the well in the courtyard and poured it into the sand table.

   hesitated, he turned out a few discarded metal parts from the utility room and threw them into the sand table.

   "This should be fine."

   Lin Tuo wiped his sweat, then looked at the sand table and muttered.

   [The sand table has met the derivation basis, do you want to start the project? 】

  In my mind, information comes to mind at the right time.

   "Turn on." Lin Tuo said.

   Immediately, the entire sand table was covered with a layer of brilliance, and there seemed to be some kind of transformation inside it, which only lasted a few seconds before calming down.

   Inside the sand table, some slight changes have taken place.

   Lin Tuo noticed that a revolving nebula appeared above the sand table, which seemed to be a simulation of the universe by the sandbox referring to the outside world.

   There is also a sun and a corresponding moon in the universe.

   "Is it necessary to simulate the moon?" Lin Tuo couldn't help but complain. After all, the essence of this sand table world is not a planet, but a flat earth.

   However, the derivation of the sand table seems to be completely simulated based on the earth’s environment.

   In other words, the derivation of the entire sand table was originally carried out according to the parameters of the earth.

   "In this way, there will be an independent ecology inside the sandbox." Lin Tuo looked at the earth again and found that the land has also changed.

   Those originally rough soil particles turned into countless fine dusts under the action of the sand table, and uplifted, forming primitive mountains and hills.

   The water that I poured into it also gathered together and became the ocean and lake.

   It seems that there is a prototype of the world anyway.

   [Sandbox No. 1 has been started, and it is running...]

   Lin Tuo also discovered at this time that the virtual panel on his retina had changed.

   except for the "creative mode" and the "back button" in the upper left corner.

   there is an extra line of "Current Environment Ether Concentration", but the word "None" follows.

   should be the detection of the ether in the sand table world.

   In addition, there is a toolbox icon.

Click on   , there are only two functions inside.

   One is the opening and closing of the "isolation hood", which is now open, Lin Tuo ignored it.

  The other is "time flow rate".

   can choose "dynamic adjustment" and "synchronize with external".

   also means very simple.

   "Dynamic Adjustment" is an ability in the "Educed Sand Table" creative mode. It will automatically adjust the ratio of the internal time and the external flow rate of sandbox No. 1 according to the computing power and environment of the sand table~IndoMTL.com~简In short, in the initial stage, when the internal environment of the sandbox is low in complexity, the proportion is very high.

  Maybe, in reality, hundreds of millions of years have passed in the sandbox within an hour.

   As civilization appears in the sandbox and the complexity increases, the time ratio decreases.

  In reality, one hour, in the sandbox, may only have passed hundreds of years, or even shorter.

   Lin Tuo knows that the reason for this is because the more complex the environment in the sandbox, the greater the computing power required, so the flow rate can only be lowered, otherwise the computing power of the sand table cannot be supported.

   As for "synchronizing with the outside", it is a manual switch. Lin Tuo can adjust the internal and external time flow rate to 1:1 at any time.

   is to synchronize the time inside the sand table with reality.

   "This feature is pretty good, it's very worry-free..." Lin Tuo smiled.

   Except for this toolbox, the large area in the center of the entire virtual panel is blank.

   "Such a large blank area is not very coordinated." Lin Tuo couldn't help but spit out from the designer's perspective.

   However, in the next second, he found that the blank area began to have text clicks appearing:

  [Run Log:]

   [In a certain year, certain month, certain day, certain time, certain minute, and second, the world evolves and opens. At that time, it was a quiet world with irregular shapes.

   There is no vitality on the surface, full of chaotic soil, sand, water, and a small amount of metal. However, it already has the basis for the birth of life]

  [100 million years have passed, the world has not changed]

  [200 million years have passed, and it still is]

  ……

  [When the time came to the fifth billion years, there was a wave of fluctuations in the dead ocean]
