Time sped up again.

When Lin Tuo put down the dishes and chopsticks and returned to the room, what he saw was the rapidly recovering human kingdom.

The farewell of the three patriarchs may have been an extremely important scene in their memories of each other, but it was not even recorded in the operational log on the scale of time and space.

In the inner and outer worlds, there are also very few people who know this story.

Lin Tuo toggled the gears of time, so the era continued, rolling forward.

It can be seen with the naked eye that the damaged buildings on the north and south continents and the nine islands have been restored, and the ruined cities have been lit up again, and the cycle of day and night has been repeated countless times.

High-rise buildings are taller, the population is larger, the economy and culture are more prosperous, and the world is more lively.

Nothing seems to have changed.

If there is, it is probably that people in the middle of life occasionally look up from their busyness and find that the pace of the world seems to have become faster.

[No. ...... in the world The catastrophe caused by prayer candles has gradually become a thing of the past, and the whole world has returned to prosperity on this anniversary.

In the same year, the entire human kingdom formulated two extremely important treaties, first the alliance of the kings of the Northern Continent, signed a hundred years of peace treaty, abolished all military acts, and agreed on a series of details to strengthen coordinated development.

Subsequently, in the southern continent, the then emperor Li Mou went north for the first time, visited the three kingdoms, and signed a commercial import and export treaty... further opening up North-South trade......

The introduction of the Northern Chamber of Commerce, for a time, a large amount of money poured into the ...... The south is booming. 】

【…… The following year, the southern mainland sent 1,000 students to the northern countries for further study, and the integration between the north and the south intensified.

【…… In the same year, the Southern Mining United Company, which is jointly owned by the four major countries, was listed to exploit the rich underground mineral deposits in the southern continent.

Steam enveloped the entire mine, rumbling endlessly, driving the surrounding industries to flourish, only one year, the mine laying range exceeded the total historical total of the southern country ......]

Standing next to the sand table, under Lin Tuo's gaze, the entire Southern Continent expanded rapidly under the effect of "scaling".

The constantly rising, year-round steam almost forms a cloud, which is spectacular.

Externally, this is a national-level commercial activity, and the relatively backward southern continent is receiving aid and capital investment from the north at the expense of local mineral reserves.

At the same time, it is also slowly moving the supporting industries of the entire heavy industry to the south.

However, Lin Tuo, who participated in the "Centennial Plan" throughout the process, knew that this was an important part of the plan.

The so-called mining of minerals is not entirely false, but it is more important to cover the implementation of the "refuge" plan.

To put it simply, during the Great Ice Age, fragile humans could not survive on the surface, so they had to go underground, and it just so happened that they already had the relevant capabilities.

The Underground in Winton Metropolis is proof of that.

The so-called "shelter" plan was proposed by Lin Tuo, discussed by the other seven people, and finally decided on a resolution.

That is, in the warmer southern continent, in a hundred years, an underground world that is enough for tens of millions of people to live in is excavated.

This is, of course, a very ambitious plan.

If you want to survive tens of millions of people, it is not something that can be solved by digging a big mine, it requires a lot of planning and testing.

How to ensure the normal production of daily necessities, how to obtain enough light, oxygen, water...... How to maintain the consumption of tens of millions of people, how to obtain enough energy to resist the cold, how to ensure that in the future underground world, people from different regions can coexist in relative stability, reduce force and cultural riots and conflicts, how to provide enough jobs, promotion system, so that the social infrastructure can operate normally after going underground...... There's so much to think about......

And most fundamentally, how to obtain sufficient social resources to invest in this grand plan that has never been seen in the history of human development?

All of this was once placed on the round table, but in the long discussion of everyone, solutions were come up one by one.

"The purpose of opening up countries, especially North-South trade, is to activate as much as possible, to create social wealth, and in this way to mobilize the forces of the whole society......

The purpose of studying abroad and investing in factories is to make the southern continent from relatively backward to catch up and surpass in an all-round way within a hundred years.

In this process, the cultures of the north and the south will also be further integrated, reducing the cultural barriers between the two places and paving the way for immigration in a hundred years......

State-led projects are moving wealth and population to the South in a relatively subtle and imperceptible way......

This is a relatively unlikely way to provoke a violent backlash in society. ”

Lin Tuo quietly overlooked the Southern Continent, where the sand table was flourishing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and muttered in his heart.

In my mind, I can't help but think of the scene when everyone discussed at the round table not long ago.

This is certainly a decision that requires unparalleled boldness.

In addition, all parties should strive for the future rights and interests of their citizens while ensuring the progress of the plan...... After all, while survival is the number one goal.

But as a king, whether it is selfishness, profit, or illusory responsibility, it is also necessary to fight for rights and interests.

"In this process, the southern continent will receive a large amount of resources and assistance from the northern countries, and blood transfusions will be overtly or covertly...... Thus quickly rising to become the new hegemon of this world.

However, this is also not without cost.

Correspondingly, the emperor of the southern kingdom must constantly cut off his rights and interests, hand them over to the northern states, and endure the erosion, assimilation, and suppression of the three kingdoms...... Even at the expense of a certain amount of sovereignty.

In this way, in the future great integration, the four forces can obtain the power to balance each other as much as possible. ”

Lin Tuo whispered softly.

It must be admitted that if he did not observe the whole process and had to design it himself, he would probably ignore this aspect of the appeal.

He can even predict that if he can survive the disaster, the future underground world will probably be a complex situation similar to the "four political parties" ruling at the same time.

Of course, in a dynamic struggle, it is also possible to go from four, to three, one...... Or maybe it's split into dozens of seats......

In the end, which side will prevail and which side will disappear...... It depends on the outcome of their game with each other.

"But that's all about me."

Lin Tuo retracted his thoughts from the state of wandering and smiled, self-deprecatingly:

"Of course, the premise is that humans can carry this winter together."

……

One hundred years in the sandbox is not long for Lin Tuo, but it is also not short.

With the increasing complexity of society, the gap between the sandbox and the real time flow rate is also narrowing.

In the first half a day, in the originally low cities of the Southern Continent, high-rise buildings were erected, and the speed of factories was still very fast, almost distracted, and a new urban area was added to the originally barren land.

By the afternoon, the pace slowed down significantly.

The next day, it gets slower and slower.

Moreover, this situation is constantly intensifying with the development of civilization.

Lin Tuo estimated that at this pace, it would take at least a few days in reality to go through a hundred years.

The "Centennial Plan" did not bring social development to a standstill or regression, but on the contrary, it moved forward more violently and at an almost sprint speed.

This is, of course, the result of the joint stimulation and cooperation of all countries.

And then there's the slower flow of time, and the ever-increasing number of log entries:

[No. ...... in the world In the year, the Flair Kingdom Laboratory successfully obtained edible plants from many cold-tolerant species brought back from the poles, and cultivated them on a large scale in a simulated environment, becoming the first edible and cold-tolerant crops.

[The following year, the Mage Scholar of the Church of the Kingdom of Winton improved the model of increasing the power heat source and achieved experimental success]

……

[Reminder: Delay the exhaustion of computing power, a total of 99 years and 2 months and 25 days]

[Warning: Due to the chaotic weather system data, the sandbox environment is about to usher in a "great ice age", which is expected to pose a great threat to the survival of life inside. Back to TD Unsubscribe】

……

On the fifth day after the roundtable, on a dull morning, sitting on the retina of Lin Tuo in front of the computer, the virtual panel automatically popped up, and he once again received the extremely familiar reminder message.

Turning his head, he looked at the evolved sand table at his side.

Lin Tuo exhaled lightly and got up in the spring light.

The No. 2 sandbox finally ushered in the catastrophe after a hundred years.
