Chapter 178: Transforming the Moon, Sandbox No. 4

From the realization of the hidden crisis, Lin Tuo decided to promote the development of reality, but he had no clue how to do it.

The simplest and most crude way is nothing more than pouring the ether, just like the time when the prayer candle blew itself up, a large gulp was spit out, and the number of cultivators in the entire Yang City area skyrocketed.

But the problem is that this kind of operation is too wasteful, and the effect is poor, and it is far less cost-effective to cast it in the sandbox.

But he can't leave the earth alone, first, the derivative sand table is deeply bound to the earth and cannot be separated, Lin Tuo lives in this world, once the crisis comes, the earth will bear the brunt.

And he always suspects that the state of the earth may also be related to the progress of the recovery of the sand table.

On the other hand, the earth sits on a population of 7 billion and has a huge potential, referring to the second and third sandboxes, which together are only the size of Europe, and the total population does not exceed 200 million.

Especially in the No. 3 world, it is still in the feudal era with many sects...... The level of the paper is far lower than that of the earth, but there are also several inhuman realms and more martial cultivators.

The North and South Continents have established a whole set of magic systems...... It can be said that the potential of the earth far exceeds the two, but it lacks a "lever" to leverage.

"Perhaps, it would be better to give knowledge or stimulus than to pour into the ether."

Lin Tuo whispered in his heart:

"If you can let the earthlings enter the sandbox, obtain more 'advanced' cultivation, or use the knowledge of the ether, and then bring them back, or even cultivate a group of strong people, it will definitely greatly promote this process."

And once the countries of the earth really make up their minds to promote this matter, the power of the explosion of the seven billion people will be extremely staggering.

However, Lin Tuo did not intend to send human beings into the existing two sandboxes, and rashly letting different civilizations come into contact would inevitably cause a series of problems, and he was ready to open another No. 4 sandbox.

It's not just about driving reality, it's about earning ether.

His remaining fifteen,000 points, no matter which sandbox he invests, is not as cost-effective as creating another one, and in addition, he is also ready to make some "attempts" through the new sandbox.

For him, the new sandbox will be a testing ground and a new source of aether.

For humans, it will be a great secret realm to obtain "power".

As for where to put it...... Lin Tuo didn't plan to continue to put it on the earth, but wanted to try to put it on other planets, anyway, as long as he continued to open up, sooner or later he would have to step into the sea of stars.

It's better to open a small one first and explore the way.

Yes, in Lin Tuo's plan, the No. 4 sandbox will not be bigger, but will be a little smaller, which is also part of the "attempt".

……

Gathering his thoughts, Lin Tuo touched the bleak + with his thoughts.

Turn on Creative Mode!

The galaxy has changed abruptly!

Although the original stars are illusory, they are still bright and colorful, especially some planets.

But at this moment, the entire galaxy faded and became gray, and at the same time, the planets became clearer and clearer, like entities.

Lin Tuo was curious, and raised his hand to try to touch the largest gas Jupiter.

In the next second, a stream of information suddenly poured into his mind.

[Name: Jupiter]

[Attribute: Gas Giant]

[Diameter: 142984km]

[Rotation period: 9 hours, 50 minutes and 30 seconds at the equator]

【Quality ......】

……

These are some of Jupiter's basic parameters.

When this information was read, Lin Tuo found that the envelope icon in the upper right corner of the virtual panel lit up for the second time, and clicked it with his mind, it was a "Creative Mode Operation Manual".

"Uh......" Lin Tuo was stunned and clicked to read.

At first, he didn't pay much attention to it, but after reading it, his expression suddenly changed subtly.

He suddenly discovered that constructing a sandbox outside the Earth was not as simple as he had imagined.

Well, it's not complicated, it probably means that the current galaxy is not suitable for derivative life except for the Earth, so if you want to start creation on the rest of the planets, you need to consume a certain amount of additional ether.

There is a dynamic add-on factor.

The exact cost depends on a variety of factors, mainly two things:

One is the degree of suitability for survival.

That is, the more suitable the selected star is, the less additional consumption it will have, and if Lin Tuo chooses the sun to place it, the aether consumption figure will be beyond his ability to afford it anyway.

The other is distance.

Probably because the Evolved Sand Table is located on the Earth, the farther away the stars from the Earth, the more additional it consumes.

In addition, the area also has an effect, i.e., the larger the area selected, the more additional costs will be consumed, but this is relatively small compared to the first two.

This caught Lin Tuo a little off guard, but after thinking about it, it was reasonable, after all, the more unsuitable the place, the more difficult it would be to transform the simulation, and the increase in consumption was really normal.

"No wonder...... In the system records, the first owner of the sand table was so excited after discovering the earth that he said it was a great luck...... Before, I wondered why I had to choose the earth since the sand table transformed the planet......

Now it seems that the environment of the earth is the most suitable for derivation, and the difficulty of transformation is the lowest, if it is other stars, it may run out of energy and can only support an isolation cover covering half of the planet......

In this way, limited by the area, the life inside loses its expansiveness, and it is even more difficult to produce a civilization sufficient to confront the Empire. ”

Lin Tuo suddenly became enlightened, and then began to follow the instructions in the operation manual, trying to touch several planets separately, and trying to delineate the range on the extended surface.

On the virtual panel, the value of ETH to be consumed is dynamically displayed.

After several attempts, Lin Tuo had to abandon the distant planet and set his sights on Mars and the Moon.

The former is the most similar to the earth, and the difficulty of deriving life should be low, while the latter is purely close!

Yes, it's too close!

The average distance is less than 400,000 kilometers!

After several trade-offs, Lin Tuo finally chose the moon.

Although according to his plan, if it is placed on Mars, the ether in his body is barely enough to open a sandbox, but then there will be nothing left.

In addition, the 4th sandbox plan will not be too big, and putting it on the moon will not affect too much.

……

[Name: Moon]

[Attribute: Rock solid-state satellite]

[Diameter: 3476.28km]

……

The thought turned, and when Lin Tuo carefully touched the moon again, the relevant parameters flowed through his mind.

In the galaxy, the moon suddenly unfolded, and in front of him was only this slowly rotating star suspended in the void.

Because there is no atmosphere, Lin Tuo can clearly see the potholes on the surface of the moon.

When I got closer, I just saw the "Moon Sea" that turned in front of me.

The Moon Sea is not an ocean, but a plain of lava-filled craters, bordered by bright, ancient plagioclase plateaus......

It is not bright, on the contrary, the whole star is gray.

"It's ugly." Lin Tuo couldn't help but complain, and then raised his hand to light up the illusory grid above the Moon Sea, and the consumption points on the panel also jumped.

Lakh.

Three hundred thousand.

Half a million.

Million.

When Lin Tuo selected a million square kilometers, he stopped, not ready to continue.

At this moment, the displayed consumption points are close to 5,000 points.

Of these, the "Creation Range" only uses 1,000 points, and the rest is an additional cost.

Compared to the total surface area of about 40 million on the Moon, the 4th sandbox occupies about one-fortieth of the total, which is not as good as the first two, but it is also sufficient for derivation.

[After the selection is completed, will the sandbox be built in the selected area?] 】

"Yes!"

[This construction requires the consumption of 4980 points of ether, and the ...... will be deducted from the automatic purchase]

At the same time, a prompt for a successful purchase in the mall automatically popped up on the panel, and the ether in Lin Tuo's body fell to 9693 points.

[The host has been confirmed, and the sandbox area is being "cleaned"...... Isolation cover is being generated......】

In the next second, a new card filled with craters was added to Creative mode.

On the barren surface of this planet, in the "Moon Sea", an almost circular isolation cover also suddenly rose, like an upside-down bowl.

[The sandbox environment is detected to be inconsistent with the foundation of the birth of life, and it will be modified according to the default scheme parameters, please wait for the ......]

Information emerges, and an invisible ripple swings out from the isolation cover, covering the entire area.

Default Scheme...... Refers to the series of parameters set by the first owner? ”

Lin Tuo raised his eyebrows, and when he saw that the sand table was silent, he immediately went out to prepare soil and fresh water.

……

About ten minutes later, Lin Tuo finished preparing and returned to the study, where he saw a new prompt:

【Renovation Completed】

[Sandbox No. 4 has been built, please provide the necessary basic materials]

Lin Tuo observed, but he didn't see any difference between the "transformed" Moon Sea and before...... This made him even a little skeptical about whether he had been cheated.

Shaking his head, he began to pour dirt, fresh water, metal, etc. into the Moon Sea one by one.

[The sand table has met the derivation foundation, is the project started?] 】

"Turn on!"

【Computing power concentration ......】

With the issuance of the order, the computing power that was originally responsible for accelerating the No. 3 sandbox was reversed, and it entered the No. 4 Moon Sea, and the time of the dynasty with many sects was also synchronized with reality.

A faint white light covered the entire sandbox, and the matter decomposed, reorganized, and changed...... The presence of the atmosphere, the sun, and ...... appear at high altitude There is no moon.

Yes, there is no moon in Sandbox Four.

……

……

Meanwhile.

Universe.

Solar system.

Silence, air-cooling...... It's a world with no boundaries in sight, and it's boring to the core.

The planets follow their orbits all the time, time flows in them, and the sun's light waves radiate the entire sea of stars unscrupulously.

In the polar lunar orbit 50 kilometers above the surface of the moon, a lunar reconnaissance orbiter is slowly moving, stretching its metal body and wings.

At the same time, a narrow-angle camera fixed to the surface of the vehicle overlooks the entire moon, continuously taking pictures and transmitting stereoscopic images back to the ground.

At this moment, the lower part of the camera just turned over the moon sea.

"Click......"

In the silent flickering, a photograph was recorded, and originally, they should not be much different from the previous records.

But at this moment, it was different because of the dark and dull isolation cover that quietly rose in the moon sea.

……

……

On the ground, on another continent far away from Huaguo.

At this moment, it is still in the afternoon, but it is almost time to get off work.

Federal National Aerospace Agency.

Inside a building.

A few researchers sitting in the office were talking and laughing, discussing after-hours activities, and were already preparing to leave.

In the room, the instruments fixed to the surrounding walls were still turned on, and the images sent back by the lunar vehicle were displayed on the screens.

It's just that no one takes a second look.

"Twenty minutes left, are we going to the restaurant later?" A male researcher changed into his coat and walked up to a female colleague and asked.

The latter was still sitting at the table looking at the computer, processing data files, and when he heard the words, he stopped his movements, leaned back in the chair slightly, and said helplessly: "I made an appointment with Susan." ”

"Okay." The male colleague shrugged his shoulders and said without words, "These are not in a hurry to deal with them, you just came back from the Pacific Ocean not long ago, you should rest." ”

"It's because there's no progress on the black box on the other side of the Pacific that I've had to work harder...... Otherwise, you will pay back next month's bill? The blonde colleague rolled her eyes.

The latter said with a hippie smile: "It's not impossible...... You know, I've always ...... Linna? Linna? What are you looking at? ”

"Don't talk!"

"What?"

"Get out of the way!" In the next second, Lina stood up suddenly, and her slightly petite body had the strength to push him away from nowhere, and then fell to the monitor in a few steps, staring at the latest image transmitted by LRO!

To be precise, it's the huge "spot" that appears in the "Moon Sea"!

Eyes widened!

This scene also attracted the attention of other colleagues, and one by one their eyes were projected, and then Lina was heard exclaiming:

"Come and see! Look here! Something seems wrong!! ”

……

Huaguo, Wucheng University.

On one of the streets of the school, as the sky brightens up and the sun shines, more students move around.

Although it is not yet time for class, the various exams are also in the final stage of preparing for the sprint.

One by one, the students walked like flying, and they were in a hurry.

Occasionally, you can see a few "aliens" meditating in the campus park or playground, believing that you can absorb the "purification of heaven, earth, sun and moon" in the early morning.

Jiang Yishan, who got the answer to "Taihe Immortal", wore a peaked cap and a dark green coat, and waited a little bored at a street corner.

Looking down at the falling leaves, I can clearly feel the chill of winter.

Thinking about why Zhou Mo hadn't come out yet, he raised his head and continued to look at the sky boringly.

Today, the sky is blue, the sky is blue, the east sky, the sun has already jumped, and in the western sky, you can still clearly see a silver moon.

At this time, if the weather is good, it is normal to see the sun and moon at the same time.

This is also an important basis for those students who have watched too much to believe that they can absorb the "essence of the sun and the moon...... Thinking about it, the corners of Jiang Yishan's mouth under the cover of the cap moved, and then he was a little proud.

Let's cultivate, let's cultivate...... You are still ignorant and chasing the trend, but your great senior sister has already fallen under an immortal......

Well, although you haven't officially started yet, this is the first time to kill most people, right?

"Could this be the fate of genius?" Jiang Yishan was thinking wildly, and in his field of vision, another leaf swirled and fell, temporarily obscuring the silver moon.

Then she heard an exclamation not far away:

"Ah~ Why is there a black spot on the moon??!"
