Walking into the room, Lin Tuo checked the status of the "potted plants" and "fish tanks" as usual.

Well, everything is fine in the former, and tents and wooden houses have been erected in the sub-district where the humans are, but the number is still extremely scarce.

Most of the people slept on the ground.

Fortunately, it's still summer, and the temperature is much better than on the wasteland.

Therefore, it is only in the open air, and the habitation environment is perfectly acceptable for wasteland humans.

As for the fish tank......

"Hmm, are you used to it?"

Lin Tuo found that those strange fish seemed to have adapted to the new environment.

Even at this moment, because it is time to feed at a fixed point every day, on the water surface, countless "fish people" break out of the water, tilt their necks, stare at the sky, and look forward to it.

looks like he's waiting to be fed.

When Lin Tuo spilled the breadcrumbs, he immediately climbed up happily and buried his head in nibbling, looking very heartless.

After confirming that the two parties were stable, Lin Tuo sat down at the desk again, took out a pen and paper, sketched and drawn, and sorted out his thoughts.

Sandbox 1 has been lifted and has become an oasis.

Then, the No. 2 sandbox, the larger map, was on the agenda, but before opening a new sandbox, Lin Tuo felt the need to make a summary of the first experiment.

The civilization of the Tucker continent was an experiment, which not only allowed Lin Tuo to harvest a lot of ether, but also gained additional gains.

"Well, the first half of the sandbox is lackluster, and it's worth thinking about my behavior of spreading science, and the subsequent results of wasteland."

After thinking about this period of time, Lin Tuo believes that although the explosion of the annihilation bomb is largely due to the personal will of the "mad emperor", there is also a certain inevitability.

"Intelligent life is born with the instinct to explore the world, and this sandbox is too small, during the Chi Kingdom period, human beings were limited by the storm of the endless sea, and did not know much about the 'border'.

Therefore, there are no corresponding worries.

It wasn't until I spread science and the productivity of Chi Country increased that people began to realize what the world they lived in......"

Lin Tuo felt that even if there was no mad emperor, as the level of civilization increased, there would still be problems sooner or later, maybe not so intense, but it was also necessary to be vigilant.

"Either way, to avoid this problem, is to expand the map.

Referring to the real world, human beings also have the desire to explore the universe, but the universe is too big, and until now, manned spaceflight is still in a short distance, but I obviously can't do it, at least, not now. ”

"Either that, or lower the civilization level, but that's the opposite of my goal of acquiring the Aether."

Sitting at the desk, Lin Tuo frowned and wrote two lines on the paper:

Science and technology route

Cultivation route

Here's what he's been thinking about:

In the end, which route should the sand table civilization follow?

Needless to say, the former can definitely be done with the earth as a template, which is also the development route of Chi Country.

As for the latter, it is in the concept.

In other words, it was Lin Tuo who tried to open the route of cultivating the "Qi Eating Method" with the whole people to achieve life promotion.

That is, to teach the method of eating qi to the sand table humans, and in this way to improve the ether.

This idea actually appeared very early, but the reason why Lin Tuo never tried it was mainly due to a very real problem.

That is, in his opinion, it is difficult to follow this route in a backward productivity environment.

The reason is simple.

Referring to Chi Guo, before the grant of science, most people in the whole country were still in the stage of not having enough to eat and wear, and the average life expectancy was about 30 years old, and newborn deaths were common.

And the "food gas method" is a thing that is slow to work and has obvious differences in individual qualifications.

Most people don't have any energy left after a long day's work.

Even if a small number of people have a life increase, the increase in ether is very small, and it is far less cost-effective than the development of productivity.

In reality, although phenomena such as 996 are also very serious, in comparison, people's energy is still relatively sufficient, and a considerable number of people have fitness needs, which can be converted into practice.

Another point is this.

Judging from the promotion effect of Yangcheng, in fact, most people lack "qualifications", even if they insist on cultivating, the improvement will not be great.

It's just that considering the sheer size of the population, it's considerable.

If the demographic factor is excluded, there are not many individuals in the human group who are truly gifted and can significantly increase the concentration of ether.

"The ideal situation is that the sand table is large enough, and its internal civilization is close to modern society, and it is theoretically best to promote the gas consumption method under such conditions."

Lin Tuo was aware of this before, so he was eager to increase the productivity of Chi Guo.

After all, in his opinion, with the small space of the No. 1 sandbox, it is difficult to achieve civilization upgrading without external forces.

But looking back now, there are great hidden dangers in this way of almost "pulling seedlings to grow".

"Chi Guoren hastily mastered a whole set of science, saving a lot of trial and error time.

This has indeed allowed them to live a better life quickly, reducing the death and suffering of countless people, and achieving the promotion of productivity, but at the same time, it has also buried hidden dangers. ”

Lin Tuo rubbed the pen and fell into deep thought.

This is as if a young civilization that has not had time to mature ideologically has obtained a destructive-level weapon early, and there is a lack of awe and restraint of power within the society, and the result can be imagined.

"In other words, if you want to avoid similar problems from happening again, you can't forcibly save this part of your time, and even if you want to help them, you must be cautious......"

"And once the civilization in the sandbox has developed to the point of destruction, I need to pay more attention to prevent them from rushing over the 'tipping point of destruction'."

Yes, the tipping point of destruction.

For Sandbox 1, the appearance of the "Annihilation Bomb" played a similar role.

Previously, no matter how crazy the emperor was, at most he would only start a war, and he would never be able to destroy the world.

As a rule of thumb, the "run log" does not provide early warning in this regard.

In other words, Lin Tuo in the early stage of the New World didn't have to care too much, but once the internal civilization mastered the "destruction-level" weapon, he had to enter it frequently to investigate.

Or set up an observatory.

In short, it is necessary to prevent civilization from destroying itself.

Of course, under the condition that Lin Tuo did not use external forces to accelerate, it would take a lot of time for the sand table civilization to develop to that extent.

If it had been in the past, this slow progress would obviously be detrimental to his gains.

However, considering that the New World will be many times the size of Sandbox 1, and the population will be much larger, the numerical advantage will be enough to smooth out the problem of slow development of civilization.

"On top of that, you can also try to grant them the Eat Gas method, even if they may not be able to pull the aether significantly due to productivity, but combined with their own abilities......

Perhaps, something interesting can be born. ”

Lin Tuo thought about it, and also had an idea in his heart, so he immediately sat on the desk and perfected the plan.

……

……

At noon, Lin Tuo made a preliminary plan, but he was not in a hurry to implement it, but planned to wait for the evening to start.

When I was having lunch, I unexpectedly found that the article that swiped the screen had been blocked.

However, it was too late, and the influence it caused had already spread in the Yangcheng area.

Through the derivation sand table, Lin Tuo found that there were more and more individuals who tried to cultivate and connect to the "etheric cloud".

In the morning, there were only a few hundred "silk threads" connecting the heavens and the earth, but by noon, the number had skyrocketed to thousands, and throughout the afternoon, it continued to surge.

When the sky darkened and he stepped into the night, Lin Tuo made a cursory observation that the entire Yang City alone had cultivated the "Green Spirit Breath Technique" and successfully established contact with the ether as many as tens of thousands!

In other words, one out of more than 100 people may be practicing!

That's a terrifying number.

The difference from the first time is that this time, many of them will most likely stick to it for a period of time, and once they practice for a long time, their physical fitness will improve a lot.

Plus those with higher talents, as "role models", word of mouth spreads.

The whole city is just around the corner.

"The rest, just wait."

Lin Tuo whispered softly in a good mood, and then looked at the dark night, and his expression finally became solemn.

"It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, just tonight." He is ready to start the construction of Sandbox 2 now.

The first is to buy the area.

"Virtual Panel."

Calling out the control interface in his heart, Lin Tuo skillfully opened the mall, and his eyes fell on the product "Creation Range".

[Creation Range: 1000 points/1 million square kilometers]

"How much ether do I have?" Taking a light breath, Lin Tuo asked in his heart.

In his mind, the derivative sand table responded:

[Host currently owns Aether: 5387 points]

More than five thousand!

This is the belongings that Lin Tuo absorbed from the No. 1 sandbox and accumulated.

It would have been more than five thousand four hundred.

But fighting and quenching in the wasteland, coupled with the frequent consumption of ether, and using the "Fist of Soldiers" to simulate illusory weapons, so far, these are left.

Removing fractions, five thousand points is enough to buy five million square kilometers.

What is this concept?

Equivalent to half of the European continent!

If most of these five million are arable and habitable areas, the number of people they can support is even more terrifying.

Compared to the No. 1 sandbox, it has been expanded by nearly seventeen times.

Are you sure about purchasing? 】

"Yes!"

As soon as the words fell, Lin Tuo felt that his body was empty, and there were only 387 points of ether stored in his body.

At the same time, a line of text pops up on the virtual panel:

【Purchase successful!】 】

Returning to the main page with his mind, Lin Tuo took a deep breath and clicked on the "creative mode".

The page changes.

The Yang City in the sand table suddenly turned into countless points of light and dispersed.

In its place, there is a familiar, huge, tiled, dynamic map of the world.

Lin Tuo's face was expressionless, looking down on the world, only to see land blocks floating in front of him, and wisps of illusory cyclones fluttering in the sky.

His gaze swept over several continents, not stopping.

The five-million-square-kilometer sandbox has few options other than Antarctica, which is not suitable for turmoil, if you want to avoid the existing human regime.

The Sahara Desert is a choice, but after careful consideration, Lin Tuo still gave up for the time being, the No. 1 sandbox transformed the desert, and No. 2 always had to change something fresh.

"Or ...... In the ocean? ”

When Lin Tuo's gaze slowly moved to the Pacific Ocean, he couldn't help but have this thought in his heart.

"Putting a lid on the Pacific Ocean sounds good."
