Creating a Sandbox World Chapter 6: Miracles
The text on the virtual panel does not appear at the same time.
After the first line of text appeared, there was a long interval before the second line was typed out, and then another interval was the third line.
During this period, Lin Tuo did not leave the old house, just moved a stool, and patiently and curiously observed the changes in the sand table.
In the past 500 million years, the entire sand table has experienced countless times of rising and falling. The day and darkness simulated by the sandbox rotate continuously, and the light and shadow change.
Because the entire land has a single element, even such a long period of time did not cause much trouble to Lin Tuo's observation.
500 million years, it is not "no change" as stated in the log.
Although there is no sign of life being born, there have been several plate movements during this period. Volcanoes erupted, magma spread, and volcanic ash rose up, covering the sky.
Water vapor rises from the river, cloudless, and then it turns into rain.
Some hills uplift, some plains collapse.
The entire land mass is elevated, and the distribution of rivers has also changed. On the four edges of the sandbox, there is a large area of ocean.
Because of so many changes, Lin Tuo didn't feel bored.
"Isn't it worth logging without life..." Lin Tuo reluctantly spit, then cast his gaze to the ocean, and found that the originally clear water seemed to become a little turbid.
[The first simple life was born in the ocean in the fifth billion years of the evolution of the world, but their ethnic groups have just spread, and they were forced to stop due to the world’s climate change]
[The Great Ice Age is here]
As this short line of text appeared in the operation log, Lin Tuo discovered that a blizzard had actually been rolled up over the originally deserted sand table.
Because of the acceleration of time, the entire sand table quickly turned into a pure white.
The temperature dropped steeply.
The whole continent became icy, the mountains and the land were covered by thick ice, and even the sea seemed to be frozen.
"Huh, it's cold." Lin Tuo only felt a chill rushing toward him, but in this hot summer, it was pretty good.
"There is also an ice age in the sand table?" Lin Tuo was somewhat surprised. In his opinion, the nature of the world in the sand table is different from reality after all, and the starting point is also different.
is like the early days of the earth. It is said that it was a liquid sphere shrouded in magma, and then slowly cooled.
But the continent in the sand table had soil and water from the beginning. Therefore, in his opinion, the evolution process must be very different from the earth.
but never thought... there are also ice ages.
【The Great Glacier Period lasted for 1843 years, and then, the climate gradually warmed, melting snow nourished the entire world, the temperature rose, the ocean thaw, the evolution of life restarted, and the air contained oxygen Increased, algae spread in the ocean]
After another while, new text was clicked on the virtual panel.
Lin Tuo saw that the cold in the sand table began to subside, the land covered by ice and snow began to melt, large tracts of lakes appeared, and rainfall was frequent.
The ocean gradually turns green, which means the growth of plants.
"Plants have been developed so soon? Hmm...Plants have begun to land on land." Lin Tuo observed with interest that green began to spread from the ocean to the land.
According to his limited biological knowledge, he guessed that this is probably the process of the conversion of gymnosperms to angiosperms.
It's a pity that these plants are too small to be observed at all. Lin Tuo doesn't have a microscope at hand, so he can't take samples. Instead, he turned out a magnifying glass, but it was unusable.
simply give up.
As plants began to appear in the sand table, the interval between words appearing on the log began to shorten, and the flow of time seemed to slow down.
Of course, for the life outside the sand table, the flow rate between the two is still amazing.
"It's so late?" When Lin Tuo raised his head again, he found that the light in the room had already dimmed. Outside the old house, the sun was slanting to the west. Before he knew it, he observed it all afternoon.
is still in the age of "plant reproduction" in the sand table.
"It seems that animals can't evolve for a while," Lin Tuo estimated, stood up, and was helpless, "I planned to clean up the house this afternoon, but what did I do?"
sighed. Fortunately, most of the rooms have been cleaned. Basic bedding and clothes are also included. Utilities and electricity bills have been paid, so there is no problem if you live in.
The only trouble is eating.
Lin Tuo thought for a while, planning to go to the town of Shanxia to eat in a short time, or order takeaway.
"It's time for dinner too." Looking at the sky, Lin Tuo locked the door of the old house, and immediately left the martial arts hall, along the mountain road, backed by the sunset, and hurried to the town.
……
……
Hour to evening.
The whole Lishan is covered with brilliant sunshine, and the town under the mountain, from a distance, has a touch of texture in anime.
This is where he grew up.
Lin Tuo sighed in his heart, feeling a little nostalgic for no reason, and involuntarily walked towards a snack bar he liked to eat when he was in school.
But as soon as he entered the town, he noticed something was wrong. On the side of the street, some townspeople gathered together, holding mobile phones, talking enthusiastically, with a mysterious and surprised look on their faces.
"...I heard that, the black box over the desert confirms it."
"Really? A rumor..."
"I don't know, watch the TV news tonight, maybe I will mention..."
The small town has a small population. Lin Tuo just listened a few ears. When he arrived at the shop, he realized that the diners inside were talking about words like "black box" and "desert".
"Has it spread? The sandbox I built really has an impact in reality?" Lin Tuo forcedly pretended not to care and ordered dinner.
Then he took out his cell phone nervously and unmute it—he didn't even watch it all afternoon.
As soon as he pushed the button, Lin Tuo only listened to a series of tones from the phone.
On the lock screen interface, there are densely packed message reminders. Except for a few spam messages that must be received every day, the rest are almost all group chat messages.
opened the software, his eyelids jumped down, and he saw that almost all groups of himself had been awakened. The first few were already 99+.
And every second, a new message pops up. This time happens to be during dinner. Therefore, people are particularly idle in group chats.
Randomly click on a group chat, and the discussion in it is in full swing.
"...Look at the latest news that I forwarded, the official media has spoken out!"
"I'll go, this is the final conclusion, there were people who said it was fake video, fake news?"
"But this thing... is incredible, isn't it? The entire Tuck Desert, just like that? It's silent? I still can't believe it..."
Lin Tuo silently refreshed the group chat information, his eyes gradually becoming more complicated.
Although he had already anticipated it, it was still difficult for him to remain calm when he really saw the impact he had caused.
Just as I guessed, the matter still spread.
Exited the group chat, opened Weibo, and clicked on the hot search list. Lin Tuoguo unexpectedly discovered that the first hot search was "Tuck Desert Black Box".
Under , with a glance, related entries account for almost half of the entire list!
Click on , Lin Tuo can see that the reading volume of the whole topic has broken the one billion mark!
Of course, this data must have a lot of moisture, but even so, it only took a few hours to achieve this, which is enough to judge that the topic of sandbox has been completely wiped out.
In this era, the spread of hot topics is indeed terrifying.
Lin Tuo suppressed the surging emotions in his heart, and looked at the top blog post.
#塔克大DES黑箱#
According to the National Astronomical Observatory: At about 3:17 this afternoon, a mysterious and irregular "black box" emerged over the Tuck Desert, covering the entire desert.
Four desert roads and some facilities and personnel were moved out of the desert under mysterious forces...Relevant agencies have confirmed that the information is true and urgently organized an investigation team to go.
Please keep calm, don’t spread rumors, rumors...
quickly browsed the news content, Lin Tuo let out a sigh of relief.
That's right.
Everything is the same as I imagined.
After opening the creative mode and choosing the big desert, in reality, the desert unmanned area in the northwest of the country has indeed changed.
The so-called "irregular black box" is the "isolation cover" for deriving the sand table.
And changes on this scale, even if they happen in remote places, cannot be ignored. They exploded on the Internet in a short time and caused an uproar.
Click on a video attached to the news.
Lin Tuo saw that the background of the picture was outside a city.
On the highway, the surroundings are full of vehicles, and it’s messy, with people coming and going.
The big background is a black "wall" that fills the entire picture.
The photographer even quickly turned a few shots, so the hugeness and magnificence of the "wall", or "sandbox shell", was clearly conveyed to the audience before the video.
……
In the video.
A female reporter holding a microphone is standing under the "majestic wall"~IndoMTL.com~ facing the camera, she said excitedly:
"...As you can see, I am located in the northern part of the Tuck Desert at the moment, and under my feet is National Highway 318... Just a few hours ago, it was not here yet...
Yes, according to satellite calculations, the entire national highway nowadays, under the mysterious force, is shifting to the north by a large margin..."
"On the side behind me, the "majestic wall" on the edge is almost invisible to the naked eye. It is the shell of the black box that covers the entire Tuck Desert!
We don’t know what material it is. In fact, through observation, we can find that its surface is extremely smooth and extremely strong, obviously not a common material..."
When the video was filmed, it was probably because the black box blocked the sun, and the wind nearby was very strong.
so much so that the female reporter was shouting and speaking loudly throughout the process, and the wind curled up her hair from time to time.
briefly introduced the environment.
As the camera turned, the microphone suddenly pointed at a group of people around.
Lin Tuoton felt that there were a few people who were slightly familiar, and quickly determined that this group of people were a certain domestic film and television team, no wonder... I have seen them in film and television dramas before.
"Director Li, I heard that your crew was one of the first witnesses who discovered the anomaly and gave feedback. Can you tell me more about the situation?"
has been on the scene all the year round, and facing the camera, this group of people seem particularly comfortable.
However, this is the case, the expressions on their faces are also tense, and it seems that they have not yet completely calmed down.
"This is a miracle!" In the video, the director is not at all calm and calm as he used to be. He raises his hands excitedly, looks at the camera, his eyes are piercing, and he says:
"A miracle that is bound to make a global sensation!!!"
