Creating a Sandbox World Chapter 86: The Age of Navigation
The number of practitioners in Yangcheng has 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 is increasing, the attention involved in the Oasis and the Pacific Incident has faded, and the value of the breath method will definitely be taken seriously.
The problem is only how the upper echelon views it.
Now, the result is out.
The opening of school curriculum is a very clear signal. According to experience, the pilot project, once successful, will surely usher in a nationwide promotion.
Of course, it will take a while.
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 the data he observed from the sand table. The young student group is far better than other age groups in practice. More advantages.
"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 while.
In addition, an interesting finding is that there was almost no news about the Yangcheng pilot project on the Internet.
Except for some local group chats in Yangcheng, there are discussions in the community.
The outside world, major social media, platforms, and collective silence, as if they were deliberately blocking news.
……
……
In the next few days, Lin Tuo's life is very regular, Huaxi is already familiar with the boxing table, Lin Tuo also began to gradually teach her some skills.
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 him control the Huabingquan much more finely.
On the Internet, there is still not much news about cultivation, but in Yangcheng, it has become a trend. Occasionally, when I go to the park, I can see many people meditating together.
Daily greetings have also evolved from "did you eat?" to "have you practiced?"
Relative to the reality of "calm", in the sand table, it changes 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 the northern and southern continents, the sphere of human influence has further expanded.
Originally, although the Kingdom of Drai and the rest of the nations have established a firm foothold, there are still a lot of places on this continent that have not been excavated.
Especially remote mountains, forests, river valleys...If the plains belong to humans, then the vast forests are the paradise of "Warcraft".
At the same time as human beings 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, the 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 scroll forward, as expected:
【The first year of the evolution of the world... In the year of the Delai Kingdom’s church headquarters was destroyed, and religious power fell to the bottom. Within one month of the then king, he successively issued thirteen decrees to rebuild the church and weaken the religious power. Immediately following... Following this, the teaching power 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 nations are surrounded]
【After thirty-eight years of reign of the contemporary king, he suddenly suffered from 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, and the civil war began. , Only in May, the royal family was buried in the sea of fire, the kingdom of Draé disintegrated]
[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 turbulent 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 made this force 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 power]
[At the same time as the human wizards are dissipated, in the distant ocean, the sea race group that has acquired the cultivation ability is rapidly expanding]
[At the same time, the Southern Continent, which was originally chaotic and lacking a unified political power, has undergone a series of changes. The descendants of the last days floating in ancient times, the Dingnan Li family, who inherited the "ancient surname", rose, and became the head of the family. The title of King of the South, in eighteen years, swept the South Continent, established a unified regime, controlled North-South trade, and opened trade ports... The population of the South Continent expanded rapidly]
……
[At the time when the regimes of the North and South Continents are changing, between the two continents, in the area of Jiudalian Island where extraordinary power is scarce, navigation and shipbuilding technologies are developing rapidly. Human interest in the ocean is increasing day by day. The group of adventurers blows out. With the support of the local consortium, go deep into the ocean, expand the nautical chart, search for islands and properties... The era of great navigation kicks off]
……
away from the mountain, in the study.
The sun was just right in the 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 Jiudalian Island, the "zoom" function was turned on, and the entire sand table continent opened quickly. With nine large islands as the skeleton, hundreds of small islands are scattered, 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, cargo ships entered the port, and the densely packed dock workers worked day and night, just like hard worker ants, the same , There is also a large ship, bravely heading toward the depths of the ocean.
Many of them deviated from the course and sank in a storm and rocks.
There are also , turning back to land before the supplies run out.
may be the overall trend, but it is getting deeper and closer to the "boundary" of the sandbox.
"Sure enough... when technology develops to this stage, exploring the world is a necessity." Lin Tuo looked down at the "fastest" ship that was also the closest to the border.
Under the acceleration of time, Lin Tuo is not sure how long it has been sailing, but he can observe it on a macro scale, which is already an extremely rare event.
Without paying attention, he has already driven 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 find the boundary of the sandbox." With the experience of sandbox No. 1, Lin Tuo didn't dare to care about it.
thought for a while, he slowly leaned over and breathed hard towards the edge of the sandbox, the isolation hood area.
Because there is no closing time to accelerate, this breath is inside the sand table, enough to set off a storm that lasts for several years and decades.
……
……
In the depths of the Pacific Ocean, a huge black box is quietly embedded on the surface of the earth, covering the sea and sealing 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, it was in the black box facing the east, inside.
On the boundless ocean, there is a weather-beaten ship, unswervingly driving toward the "boundary".
……
"Boom!"
The climate on the ocean is always weird and changeable, especially the stormy sea.
The last second may have been clear skies, and the next second, there will be clouds.
At this moment, the sky is full of dark clouds, and on the sea, the wind is raging, the electric snakes are flashing, and the turbulent waves are rolling. Between the sky and the earth, there is a dark area, as if even the sea water has become a turbid mud.
On the sea, a wind-worn vessel is shaking violently with the waves.
Its masts have all been lowered, minimizing the influence 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 mate anchored himself with a rope, holding on to the handrail, with a frightened expression:
"Captain! It looks like a hurricane belt ahead!"
"No, the climate in this sea area is too weird!"
"If you continue to sail, it will be too dangerous!"
The crew members who can support this place are experienced crew members. Along the way, we have encountered dangerous situations many times. However, feeling the unusually violent storm in the sea ahead, it was them, and they also gave birth to them. The emotion of fear.
go home!
must return home!
Further forward, their ship will likely be torn to pieces by the hurricane!
However, the "Captain" standing at the front only firmly grasped the fence 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 can clearly see the huge tornado that spans the entire sea in the gray sky and earth ahead.
They don’t know where they came from, like mountains that are difficult to climb, completely blocking the road ahead.
Even powerful transcendents cannot move forward in this environment~IndoMTL.com~ 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. The coverage is extremely wide.
is not possible to bypass at all.
"Just return like this?" Standing in the wind and waves, the captain didn't seem to hear the roar of thunder, or the shouts of the men behind him, only this thought in his mind.
As the most "crazy", bravest, and most experienced and adventurous navigator on Nine-Dalian Island, he has a paranoia that ordinary people cannot understand.
In the past few decades, he has attempted to go out to sea five times. The first four were all accidents in the middle and were forced to stop.
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 suppressed.
It can be said that this is his last voyage.
Once you give up, there is no hope anymore.
Thinking about this, the middle-aged man silently put down the binoculars and said: "Go on!"
"What? Captain, you..."
"I said, continue!"
In silence, I don't know how long it has passed or how many psychological struggles they have experienced. These confidant crew members did not say a word, holding the determination to see death as home, silently adjusting the boat and sailing straight ahead.
"click!"
Just after the ship reluctantly advanced several hundred meters, the old sea ship was finally overwhelmed. It shattered, cracked, and broke into countless planks under the torn of two waves.
The only 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 the next second, a long and gentle sound echoed in their ears, like the singing of sea water hitting the beach.
