"Did you hear that?"

"What?"

"The awakened robber was not caught by the police, but was tied up by someone unknown and thrown to the door of the self-cultivation hall, and the beating was terrible."

"Look at it this way, no one of the Awakened is so evil."

The next morning, when Lin Tuo went out for a walk, he had already heard the relevant discussions.

The robber was caught in less than a day, saying that he was an awakened person, and the result was not better than ordinary people.

The negative social events have just arisen and ended before they have been completely fermented, which has somewhat made many media on the Internet feel a sense of depression that has been punched into the air.

For the government, of course, it was a great relief, but for ordinary people, this scene completely shattered their previous senses of people with special functions.

I suddenly found out...... It seems like that's it.

And, another curious question is, who exactly caught whom?

"There is no video left at the scene, and there are no clues at all.

I heard that even the inhumanoid suspect who was beaten couldn't say it, and he was still cultivating in the last second, and then his eyes went black, and he had a terrible nightmare.

When I wake up again, it's already like that. ”

On the Internet, someone said with a mysterious face.

Then there was a flurry of speculation.

At the end, someone said, "You say, could it be the Taihe Mountain warrior who spread the exercises in the first place?" ”

“…… If you say that, it's really possible. ”

When Lin Tuo came back from the mountain, he opened the chat group and saw a similar discussion, which made his face a little weird.

By the afternoon, the argument had spread even more, but thinking about it, the speculation was logical.

The same mystery.

The same came and went without leaving any traceable traces.

The point is that this object of suspicion has enough strength.

In the past two months, with the widespread popularization of the cultivation method, the "Taihe Mountain Warrior" has not only not faded out of people's memory, but has become more and more mysterious.

Now, it is even more brazen, as if it has become a sword hanging over the heads of all the awakened.

If you want to think crookedly, you have to think about it.

The next few days were calm.

Maybe Lin Tuo's threat had an effect, of course, the main thing was that the number of awakened people began to decline sharply, and by the third day, there was not a single new awakened person.

"That's about it." Leaving the mountain, Lin Tuo silently made a judgment.

By now, he had probably figured it out.

After the prayer candle self-destructed, a part of the spirit escaped into the sandbox, leading to the birth of the snowy beast, and a small part of it accidentally entered reality, giving birth to these hundred or so awakened people.

But that's it.

A wave of outbreaks, and then silence, after all, there are so many spiritualities, these hundred or so people have eaten dividends, and the follow-up people will not have this good luck.

Objectively speaking, the abilities of these awakened people themselves are not strong, and in comparison, what is more precious is the improvement of talents.

Once awakened, the cultivation talent will be raised to a higher level.

That's what matters most.

According to the news obtained from Li Tai, this wave of time has also helped the Cultivation Pavilion gain more than 100 official members, and it has also made a reputation.

Got more resources tilted.

Fiercely pushed the progress bar of the national cultivation forward.

The people, because of this round of hot spots, have fiercely expanded a wave of momentum, visible to the naked eye, most of the provinces in the observation mode, and the aetheric line that permeates has increased significantly.

This shows that the practice of the Qi Eating Method has begun to be known by more people through this wave of events.

"Now, that's a good thing?"

Squatting under the eaves and pressing out the phone, Lin Tuo shook his head and smiled, then put these things aside, turned his head and returned to the study, and switched the sand table to "creative mode" again.

After a few days of rest, it's time to get down to business.

……

……

"Whoosh ......"

Invisible light and shadow change, and the bustling city blocks in the huge derivative sand table disappear, transforming into a huge translucent isolation cover.

Inside, the earth is completely covered with snow and ice.

In the past few days, under the effect of time acceleration, the entire No. 2 sandbox has finally entered the Great Ice Age.

More than 90% of the sea is frozen, and the northern and southern continents are also covered by thick glaciers.

There are plants, but they are also not visible from this height.

To the south, near the sandbox simulated equator, there is a narrow, not completely frozen sea, which is the open sea and the gathering place of the sea tribes.

The only thing special in the pure white world is the vents that spread all over the southern continent.

At the beginning of the design, the subsequent snow and ice cover of the ground was taken into account, so the vents were almost always built on high mountains.

As far as the eye can see, air vents are constantly gushing out.

At the same time, Lin Tuo also saw some facilities for collecting ice and snow.

He knew that the snow and ice on the surface would be collected underneath and converted into steam through the Mana Furnace, which would flood the dungeon through pipelines that would provide warmth, fresh water, and power.

If you zoom in and try to look closer, you can also find some scattered extraordinary humans walking in groups in the ice and snow world, hunting and killing snowy monsters.

The speed at which those people walked was clearly distinguishable in Lin Tuo's eyes.

This reveals an important message.

"Time has slowed down again." Lin Tuo muttered.

Yes, this phenomenon had been discovered by him two days earlier, but it was becoming more and more obvious.

At first, the Great Ice Age came, the sandbox ecology collapsed, and the speed of time was very fast, but after a few days, the speed decreased, and according to the rules of the evolved sand table, the speed of time was related to "complexity".

Other words:

"Sandbox 2 has increased in complexity?"

For a long time, Lin Tuo didn't understand what "complexity" was.

In short, it seems to be a comprehensive judgment, and the integrity of the ecological chain and the number of species will affect this data.

And the biggest impact on it is the degree of civilization.

"During the catastrophe of strange things, human civilization was close to the 19th century, and by the Great Ice Age, it was close to the beginning of the 21st century when the reality of the earth was close, but because of the Great Ice Age, it regressed again.

So, after hundreds of years of development, has the level of civilization in the shelter been restored?

Not only recovering, but continuing to develop. ”

This speculation made Lin Tuo extremely curious.

It's hard to imagine how human civilization could have evolved without domination over the surface and cowering in the limited space underground.

It's already great if you don't go backwards.

Calling out the operation log, pulling the content forward, reading carefully, lines of text flashed:

[No. ...... in the world year, the Great Ice Age arrived, the surviving humans entered the underground shelter, the period of partition of the four major powers ended, and the era of unity and unification arrived.

[However, the new dwelling brings new problems...... The original concept of the state is blurred, different ethnic groups are gathered, the original class is destroyed, and the old and new jobs are alternated...... Mankind has endured countless hardships in the first ten years.]

[At the same time, the human beings who entered the underground also produced a series of diseases, the rapid consumption of food reserves, and the slow expansion of underground planting areas, which brought about a long-term food crisis and a sharp decline in the number of people]

……

[After the first ten years, the situation finally ushered in an inflection point, the supply of food reached a balance, a new social system was initially established, and the emergence of new occupations brought about a blowout of new technologies]

【…… In order to solve the physiological discomfort of the underground, under the leadership of the Joint Committee, the surviving human beings began a good and long-lasting transformation program for a hundred years......

Simulate the blue sky, simulate the sun, simulate the four seasons...... Under some kind of great vision, through the efforts of generations, the shelter is becoming more and more similar to reality]

[However, the confines of space and the harsh environment have hindered the possibility of human exploration.

With the improvement of the simulation environment, people are driven by simple desires to explore virtual technology, and the epoch-making brainwave connection technology provides support for this direction.

[In the 156th year of the Shelter Era, the first brainwave virtual game appeared, which also officially kicked off the virtual era]

……

"Virtual technology?" Lin Tuo was a little surprised, and after thinking about it carefully, he understood it again.

In fact, in his opinion, the technology tree of Sandbox 2 had already gone crooked when the Centennial Project was launched.

In order to ensure the survival of mankind, based on the program of the Centennial Plan, the main technologies of the four kingdoms have been invested in several corresponding fields.

Therefore, they have given up on external exploration.

The most typical example is that in the No. 2 sandbox, there has never been an aircraft in the real sense.

In the "Age of Shelters", it is even more so, human beings who have lost the ability to develop outwards have no choice but to turn to the virtual space, which has led to the rapid development of technology in this area......

"It's kind of like reality." Lin Tuo couldn't help but sigh.

At that time, human beings tried to move towards the universe and galaxies, colonize Mars, and explore outer space, but the subsequent changes in the situation caused social resources to gather in the field of the Internet.

As a result, space technology has been slow to develop, and the virtual economy has led the way.

It's just that the humans in the shelter have taken this path more thoroughly and have begun to try to build a brainwave virtual space......

"Well, I'm afraid that the technology in this area, the sandbox has surpassed reality."

Thinking of this, Lin Tuo suddenly realized that some of his previous understandings of the sand table may be a little wrong.

In the past, based on the problem of the flow rate of time, he judged that the civilization in the sand table could not exceed reality, because once the level of internal and external civilizations was approximated, it would become a 1:1 flow rate.

In reality, however, the level of civilization is a complex concept.

Although they are all human beings.

But different development paths will lead to completely different "tech trees" from each other.

Humans in the sandbox can surpass reality in some specific areas, and of course, they will inevitably lag far behind reality in other areas.

"To make an extreme assumption, if the development of the human body's potential is also a direction of development, then perhaps a fantasy world will be as complex as the earth.

Perhaps, it is still in the feudal era, there are no high-rise buildings, no networks, no aircraft, but it is a huge lead in the evolution of the human body, which will also lead to increased complexity? ”

Up in the air.

This is just his conjecture, and it needs to be verified.

"Unfortunately, the repair of Sandbox 2 was slow and there was no way to verify it with it. According to the information given by the sandbox, due to the limited computing power, it is impossible to maintain the derivative operation of the two sandboxes at the same time. ”

Lin Tuo sighed softly: "I can't do it if I want to open another sandbox." ”

However, at this moment, it seemed that the flow of time had finally slowed down to a certain limit, and the virtual panel suddenly flickered, and a new piece of information appeared in my mind:

[The complexity of Sandbox No. 2 has been on par with reality, and the ratio of internal and external time has been automatically adjusted to 1:1]

【Sandbox Computing Power Release ......】

【Computing power released】
