At the same time.

Across the ocean.

In New York, at an airport, a large crowd of people walked out of the building, and in the crowd, two researchers from the space agency were on a business trip.

"Linna, wait for me." A male researcher in a jacket and beard stumbled forward with a suitcase.

And the blonde woman in front of her, who participated in the study of the Pacific Black Box and was the first to discover the appearance of the Black Box on the Moon, reluctantly stopped, and said:

"Richard, can you hurry up."

The latter cried with a sad face, carrying the luggage of the two of them, and said with some grievances: "I am carrying things." ”

"Didn't you rob it? I said, I can take my things myself, but you can give them to me. Lena was a little angry.

"Hey, hey." Richard smiled, but he clutched his suitcase tighter, and said without words, "It's been a long time since I've been to New York, and this time I'm going to have a few more days." ”

"I'm going to go yourself, I'm going to work." Lina threw down a sentence, then pulled out her phone, looked at the strange icon and the auto-opening website with some surprise, and then heard the agitation around her.

"What is this?"

"Where's the site?"

"Why is there no web address, and ...... This is...... Chinese? ”

The discussion gradually started, and the crowd was a little restless.

"Linna, what website? What are they looking at? The bearded Richard, who had both hands occupied, curious.

"Shut up." Linna said softly, but her face was suddenly difficult to look at - she knew Chinese.

Naturally, I also understood the text next to the short film.

Without clicking on it, she raised her head, looked around, and then saw her surroundings and in the distance.

On the street, in the parked cars, in the glass windows of the surrounding shops...... Everywhere I looked, more and more people picked up their mobile phones and started talking in surprise and confusion, and some people curiously clicked on the film and watched it with full attention.

"Richard."

"What?"

"Like, something happened again."

“？”

……

……

Huaguo? Yang cheng.

The second floor of the first self-cultivation gym in China? In a conference room.

At this moment, Li Tai is sitting around with the rest of his colleagues? The atmosphere is heavy and eerie? In front of you, on a row of mobile phone screens? All show the screen at the end of the video.

At the same time, notification bars on more than a dozen phones began to pop up like crazy.

Long? A cultivator looked at Li Tai: "Curator? What to do? ”

Because of his merit in unlocking the secret of the inscription, after Lu Yan, who was originally in charge of Yangcheng affairs, went to Wucheng, he was handed over to Li Tai to be in charge, and the position became "acting director".

And in the face of everyone's inquiries? Li Tai was silent? Cai said: "Go and contact Wucheng, pay attention to appeasing the masses, and wait for the order of the superiors." ”

"Yes."

Waiting for everyone to leave with complicated and unspeakable emotions, Li Tai leaned back in his chair and turned his head to look out the window at the city sprinkled with the first snow? Whispering in my heart:

"Taihe."

……

……

On this morning, without warning.

In the abdomen of Huaguo, there are several cities represented by Wucheng and Yangcheng? A mysterious icon silently appeared on the phones of tens of millions of people, and the access entered the one without a name? The website that appeared like a ghost witnessed the entire video.

A brief silence? Immediately, public opinion was in an uproar.

Messages? Dynamics began to spread on social networks through these tens of millions of people? As a result, those in other cities who were not affected also learned of the news.

"Did you see that video? Is it real or fake? ”

"It can't be some hacker, right?"

"I'm just engaged in network security, I just went to check, this website is very wrong!

No, it doesn't even feel like a website at all! No matter what tool you use, you can't find it there! This is definitely not something that so-called hacking techniques can do! ”

Some people spoke conclusively and their tone was excited.

"Is it true? Is this really what happened in the Oasis? ”

"The question is, how did this website come about, did we guess it? Is there really a higher civilization watching us? Is this further contact? "Someone panicked.

And many more are at a loss:

"What website? What video? What are you talking about? Why don't I have it here? ”

Relative to the huge population, not too many people actually log in to the "ghost site".

But with the crazy spread of social networks and various self-media, after a few hours of effort, this news was pushed to everyone.

The federation on the other side of the ocean has spread slightly slower because the website is in Chinese, but thanks to several monopoly Internet products distributed around the world, compared with China, the scope of information spread from the federation is larger.

An hour, two hours...... Three hours......

After opening the "Xinghai Server", Lin Tuo always sat in front of the computer to refresh the news, and witnessed the whole topic soaring like a rocket.

Because the essence of the website is not electronic data, but information directly poured into people's consciousness, no instrument can shoot and record that video except for the human eye.

This limits the spread to a certain extent, but it also adds to the mystery.

A "ghost website" that cannot be traced back, a footage that cannot be recorded by a camera, and when it is conclusively identified, no one doubts its origin.

The mystery itself says a lot about the authenticity of the video.

And when the news of a similar situation in the Federation came out, it fueled the power of public opinion.

Who the hell opened this?

Why is it only found in a few cities?

Why is the website written in Chinese?

That video...... Is it real?

Countless questions were raised in people's minds, and the topic quickly reached the top of the major platforms, and in contrast, the analysis of the content of that video began to appear.

Although it cannot be recorded, it can be retold in words, paintings, etc.

And at noon, an explosive news was suddenly released:

Through drawing, the relevant departments depicted the distribution map of the wasteland city that appeared in the video, and passed it to the oasis base, and the exploration team drove a helicopter to excavate an unexplored area, and indeed found the large-scale ruins corresponding to the video!

This undoubtedly proves the authenticity of the video.

In the afternoon, the news completely detonated, and people from all over the country, and even some surrounding countries, began to rush to Wucheng, Yangcheng and other places.

Want to see the details of the "ghost website" for yourself.

Correspondingly, federal states, government departments, and media gathered in New York like sharks smelling blood, and more details about the ghost website were revealed.

For example, it currently only covers a specific area of the two countries, and once you enter, you can open it on your phone, and conversely, once you leave, you can't perceive it again.

Except for the unclear sentence on the entire website, there is only this one video, and nothing else.

As a result, most of people's attention has been focused on Civilization itself, in addition to the horror of the site itself.

There are even some self-media on the Internet who have issued long articles for analysis:

"Based on the information we have learned so far, we can basically determine the authenticity of Civilization, just as we have speculated, it is very likely that the inside of Tucker's Black Box has experienced the growth and demise of a civilization.

It's just that in the past, it was just speculation, but today there is precious video material, although it appears in a strange way, and it is very likely that there is a certain purpose behind it, but this does not prevent us from analyzing it. ”

"The author is not in the area covered by the 'Spirit Net', but it is very close to Wucheng, so I rushed over after the incident, and I also watched the video many times, and the whole short film is only ten minutes, and there are obvious traces of editing and acceleration.

According to the existing geological derivation theory, it can be judged that the development process is basically in line with our cognition, and the higher intelligent life born inside is also the same as us, the same human beings.

I believe that everyone has already known about the spectacular and evolution process of the film from social media, so I will not repeat it, I can only say that no words can truly describe that feeling, only by watching it in person, can we experience one or two. ”

"I'm here to mention just a few notable points from the video.

The first is at the halfway point between the quasi-feudal dynasty and modern industry, and the video has obvious 'frame skipping'...... In other words, there is a strong sense of separation, and I have reason to believe that there is a very important information in the missing passage in the middle, after all, the leap of the times always needs a driving force, what happened in the process? It's worth pondering.

As for the similarity between the industrial process and the earth, I don't think there are some 'conspiracy theories', after all, the environment, biology, and social forms inside the sandbox are highly similar to the outside, so it is very normal to follow the same path.

Taking the history of our earth as an example, before the Great Voyage and global interconnection, civilizations on different continents were separated from each other, but they each derived many similar things, and each civilization had similar myths and legends, and all tamed similar animals and made similar artifacts...... This is inevitable. ”

"The second is the abrupt destruction of the Tucker civilization, as can be seen from the video, it originated from a huge explosion that appeared in the West, which was extremely terrifying, almost destroying the entire civilization in one fell swoop.

Of course, this is also largely due to the size of Tucker's Black Box, and the 'Great Wall' around it, so that the explosion is confined to the inside and cannot be exported to the outside world, but in any case, this explosion is extremely suspicious.

It is said that the Oasis base has sent people to search for the explosion site, but I don't think any valuable information can be found in the short term, and the video is extremely blurry and has a strong sense of fragmentation.

It gave me the feeling that it wasn't really recorded, but ...... ...... that was later 're-recorded' in some way"

"As for the third point, there are a few very incoherent drawings that flash quickly behind the wasteland, the most important of which are two.

One is the image of a large herd of beasts and surviving humans migrating in the wasteland, from which we can tell that there were still people who survived the destruction, and there were quite a few of them.

The second is the flooding caused by the heavy rainstorm...... The rainstorm itself may be normal, it may be a change in the entire ecology and climate, but the question is, where did those people go? Is it the extinction of the entire race? This seems to be a reasonable explanation, and it is what we have guessed in the past, but this frame provides us with a terrifying conjecture.

Perhaps, the survivors of civilization inside Tucker's black box did not go extinct, but migrated away, but where did they go?

You know, the black box itself is closed...... We all know the sturdiness of the Great Wall, and there is no reason for a wasteland-level civilization to disappear under our noses, unless, there is some hidden information in it.

And the words 'to be continued' at the end of the video also prove this, and I boldly predict here that this video is not the end, most likely, there will be a follow-up! ”

Off the mountain.

When Lin Tuo saw this long article from the circle of friends, its number of reads had already broken 100,000+, and the comments at the bottom were also dense.

It's all speculation and analysis.

Lin Tuo just smiled at this, and then silently praised it, the whole analysis is still very reasonable, as for the few points it mentioned, they were all intentional by Lin Tuo.

The abrupt development of civilization was that he cut out the part of his own knowledge, and the blur of the explosion was because he had never seen the explosion process at all......

Therefore, Lin Tuo adopted a tricky method, that is, to use the "illusion space", the illusion exploded, and then recorded it in a vague way, which is indeed a "supplement".

As for the subsequent Great Migration, one is to hide one's own existence, and the other is to leave suspense.

If you want to promote the cultivation of all mankind, you must put pressure on all countries, but you must also control a degree, if you directly reveal the existence of the empire, saying that there is a higher civilization that will come at any time, and it is very likely to have malicious intentions...... Lin Tuo suspected that such a move was likely to cause problems.

The domestic and Asian cultural circles may still be stable, but this news is really widely publicized and taken seriously, and he suspects that a large number of countries will be chaotic and produce all kinds of moths, after all, the social structure and cultural system are very different......

It's really like a human panic in the three-body problem, and various factions are clashing, but it's not in line with his original intention.

Therefore, revealing a certain threat, making people tense, but not making people desperate, is a more appropriate strength.

Uncovering the history of civilization within the sandbox is a suitable method.

First, several civilizations in the sandbox, except for No. 4, have encountered spiritual invasions, including the earth, and may also face this problem, and the process will gradually unfold, and people will naturally realize the threat of "spiritual invasion", so as to tense their nerves.

At the same time, these invasions are not invincible, and they are not as capitulatory as the "three-body people", which is very suitable for exerting pressure.

Second, with the exception of No. 1, the other sandbox civilizations are accompanied by extraordinary powers, combined with the Qi Eating Method that has spread around the world on a small scale, as well as the cultivation methods leaked through the Star Gate, which itself will attract people.

No one is not eager to master superpowers, and even some countries will be affected and may take the risk of promoting cultivation, and in the context of global competition, even if they are in the psychology of competition defense, all countries will passively promote cultivation.

And once it is fully promoted, the knowledge that Lin Tuo uses Xingmen to convey will be leaked out sooner or later, and it will be impossible to hide it, but this time difference will allow Huaguo to occupy a huge advantage, and it can be regarded as giving back to the society.

Of course, this plan may not be smooth, if Hua Guo never makes a move and waits cautiously, it really won't work, and Lin Tuo can only use this website to announce more auxiliary cultivation knowledge.

As for the third, in Lin Tuo's thoughts, different civilizations will meet sooner or later, and he himself can use his identity as a "divine messenger" to directly intervene in the sandbox civilization, but he can't intervene in the earth for the time being.

Unless he is so much that he "lights up" most of the countries of the world and brings them under control.

Truly turn the Earth into his own.

Otherwise, it is necessary to consider the problem of contradictions in the process of integration.

Through the method of video, the earthlings can have a better understanding of the sandbox civilization in advance, which can resolve this contradiction to a certain extent.

After all, people are instinctively wary of strange and alien civilizations.

Just like he was extremely wary of the "Empire".

But for a civilization that you have witnessed from birth to adulthood, because it is familiar, you will not be so afraid.

Based on this line of thought, after eating a meal of Warcraft meat and Heavenly Treasure Shabu-shabu with Huaxi Meimei at noon, Lin Tuo ran back to the room and used the second short film of the spell liver.

……

……

That night, at ten o'clock sharp.

Just when the entire network was discussing the "Spirit Net" and "Tucker Civilization", residents of Yangcheng, Wucheng, New York and other cities were surprised to find out.

The "Spirit Net" has been updated!

Yes, update!

A new video appeared on the page with a crisp title:

Civilization (2)

Synopsis: Tells the story of the survivors of the wasteland after they arrive in the New World.

……

"Updated! Updated! When the video was released, a large number of such posts suddenly floated on the page of the local cultivator forum in Yangcheng, and people were confused.

"What's updated? Evil God or Red-Haired Monster? ”

“…… It's neither, it's a spirit net! The spirit network has updated the second video! ”

"it...... Check it out now! ”

"I'll go too!"

There was a burst of chickens and dogs, and there were also some netizens who did not live in the "coverage area", and netizens from other cities kept posting asking about the content of the video:

"Being in the imperial capital, I ask a well-wisher to come back and talk about the plot after reading it??"

"Wait online, ask for the plot!"

In the hustle and bustle, countless people in major cities who had not yet fallen asleep picked up their mobile phones, stared at the crystal ball, opened the nameless website referred to as "Spirit Net", and then saw the second film.

This one is also very short, there is no process of the birth of the world, the opening scene is a bird's-eye view of the north and south continents, as the perspective closes, you can vaguely see the humans on the two continents.

With the "double-speed playback", traces of humanity began to spread, and then towns were established, and a society similar to that of the Middle Ages appeared.

Then, the picture zooms in and jumps a few times, and some detailed shots that are no longer overlooked appear, and some close-ups of people and buildings on the continent appear.

Then, abruptly, he jumped onto a plain, and his perspective was slightly raised, and he could see countless knight legions standing in the wind and rain, flying spell attacks, tall giant popes trampling the holy city, and beams of light descending from the sky.

The incomparably strong sense of realism brings people an impact that goes far beyond the special effects technology.

But just when people thought this was the end, some familiar images began to appear in the video:

Industrialized cities, towering church-like buildings, a rushing white river, a world flooded with cakes, and a figure wearing a crown of flowers and a red robe.

It's a familiar image.

Just a few months ago, it was broadcast in the sky projection in the sky over dozens of super-large cities around the world, and the recorded video is now temporarily ranked first in the world's video playback, opening up the second place with a huge gap, and the characters inside have even been made into trademarks......

"Is this ...... What happened in the Black Box of the Pacific? ”

"So, those survivors of Tucker's Black Box arrived at the Pacific Black Box?"

"How exactly do they do it? There is a clear time difference between the two black boxes......"

One question after another pops up, no one knows the answer, and the video continues, skipping the scene of the "mystery man" taking the candlestick.

The world seemed to return to normal and continued to evolve, and after an unknown time, a great snowstorm hit the poles and covered the whole world in the blink of an eye.

The video also came to an end, went black, and the familiar "To be continued" appeared on the screen.

……

Yangcheng, self-cultivation dojo.

Li Tai finished watching the video on his phone, then snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand, his eyes were full of thought, and he hesitated whether to call "Taihe", but he didn't do it after all.

After a moment of silence, he looked away, and the mobile website automatically exited, and then deliberately did not look at the crystal ball - people have found that only by concentrating on staring will they enter the "spirit net".

pressed the address book and dialed the phone number of Lu Yan, the person in charge of the pilot, but before he could speak, Lu Yan's voice came from the other side:

"The new video has been watched?"

Li Tai nodded and said, "I just finished reading it." ”

"What thoughts?" Lu Yan asked.

Li Tai thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps, the survivors of Tucker's Black Box entered the Pacific Black Box through that door. ”

Lu Yan on the opposite side naturally understood that "that door" referred to the portal that appeared and disappeared in the depths of the oasis half a month ago, and they stepped over it into the black box of the moon, and it was extremely reasonable to have a similar association.

"But there's a time lag in between."

"Perhaps, who knows?"

After being silent, Lu Yan on the other end of the phone suddenly sighed, and asked with a somewhat wrong emotion: "Lao Li, you say, what does that will hidden in the dark want to do?" ”

Li Tai didn't know how to answer for a while, and said tentatively:

"Who knows, at least he didn't show any malice...... If I were to say, he seemed to be hinting at us.

If the civilization in the black box will encounter all kinds of supernatural crises, will we outside the black box also have this risk? Just didn't notice?

Whether it was the Green Spirit Breath Technique or the evolutionary path described on the stone tablet, it was as if it was guiding us to hold such a weapon. Of course, this is all my own nonsense, nonsense......"

"No," Lu Yan said in a serious tone, "I think your idea is very reasonable." ”

After a pause, he suddenly said, "I just received a call from Kyori. ”

"Oh?" Li Tai's heart moved.

Then, I listened to Lu Yan and said: "The big leader spoke, and the big action should be advanced." ”

……

……

The next day, in the morning.

Because the liver video consumed so much mental power, Lin Tuo, who finally woke up at three o'clock in the morning, just picked up his mobile phone and saw the pop-up news floating in the notification bar.

His eyes widened suddenly, his sleepiness dissipated, and he sat up at once:

Practice.

ushered in the national promotion.
