Chapter 5: Genesis

On this extraordinary afternoon, under the effect of the sand table, in this vast and barren land, the buildings selected by Lin Tuo quietly shifted.

Even the people in the middle of it didn't notice anything unusual.

Until there was a deviation in satellite positioning, and a familiar city appeared at the end of the road.

"Ah......h

"What the hell...... How did we get here? The road couldn't have been ...... here."

The convoy stopped one after another, and the entire crew jumped out of the car, against the blazing sun, and gathered together, most of them still at a loss, completely unaware of what was happening.

Just asked each other in a mess, and soon, everyone learned that at this moment, they and the others had mysteriously walked out of the desert no man's land and came to the north of the Tucker Desert.

"No, by no means we are wrong! It's the way! This desert highway has been translated to the north for more than a hundred kilometers as a whole! An assistant director's eyes widened, clutching his phone in disbelief.

Immediately, there was a lot of doubt.

After all, this statement is too bizarre.

However, in the next second, everyone suddenly felt that the surroundings were cooler...... To be precise, a huge shadow enveloped them in the blink of an eye, as if something was obscuring the sun.

"Ahh Look over there! One of the main actors suddenly pointed to the south and shouted.

Everyone was busy watching, and then, the originally chaotic team fell silent for a moment!

I saw that in front of them, an incomparably huge shadow wall slowly precipitated out of the distorted air, and that wall was hundreds of meters, or even thousands of meters high, and spread infinitely in the east-west direction.

Under the gaze of everyone, in just a few breaths, it turned from the illusory to the real substance.

It's as if dividing the world into two.

If you pull the angle high enough, you will see it.

At this moment, an incomparably huge, irregular, and impermeable black "cover" was like a huge "bowl", enveloping the entire Tucker Desert of nearly 300,000 square kilometers!

……

……

Away from the mountain, in the martial arts hall, in the dilapidated old house.

Lin Tuo stood beside the sand table, quietly watching a slightly dark, translucent cover seal the sand table, and realized that this was the so-called "isolation cover".

It is also the shell of the "sandbox" in creative mode.

According to the information in his mind, he knew that this isolation cover was extremely strong, and with the current civilization of the earth, it could not be broken or detected.

Although it is translucent in the sandbox, in fact, it is insurmountable and snooping on both the life inside the sandbox and the human beings outside.

As for the desert highway and several important engineering buildings he marked, the personnel have been safely moved out of the sandbox under the power of the sand table.

"I'm afraid that the satellite has already detected the abnormality at this moment, and soon, the news that the entire desert is isolated will spread......" Lin Tuo subconsciously glanced at the mobile phone placed on the side.

After a moment's hesitation, he walked over and muted it.

While he was doing this, changes were also taking place in the entire sand table, and an imperceptible force quietly swept across the vast desert.

Removal of the microbial environment.

Plants wither within a few breaths.

Lin Tuo was not surprised by this, knowing that this was part of "antivirus".

[The No. 1 sandbox has been constructed, and it has been detected that the current environment is not suitable for the evolution of civilization, please provide the necessary basic materials......]

A large amount of information poured into his mind again, and Lin Tuo sorted it out, probably saying that the desert environment was too single and needed to be enriched by him.

If nothing else, it is necessary to provide basic soil and water.

Although these substances are also found in the desert, if Lin Tuo provides some help, it can save a lot of derivation time.

"Well...... The first thing you have to do is get rid of the sand. Lin Tuo whispered to himself, and then walked out of the door, turned his head to the utility room, and found a shovel and a small cart out.

Parking the car at the door, Lin Tuo came to the house with a shovel, took a deep breath, and shoveled up a sand dune.

According to the information given by the Sand Table, he knew that in the process of creation, his actions would not affect the area outside the Sand Table.

In other words, even if you dig hard, you don't have to worry about causing an earthquake.

The "Containment Shield" does not only exist on the surface, but separates the Tucker Desert from the earth in all directions.

"Up."

As Lin Tuo lifted the shovel.

Tucker Desert region.

Over the 300,000 square kilometers of land that had been isolated, the air was slightly distorted, and in an instant, a shovel that covered the sky and the sun appeared!

The shovel fell mercilessly, easily lifting a multibillion-billion-ton dune and lifting it up into the sky.

After reaching a certain height, it suddenly disappeared along with the huge shovel.

In the desert, only a terrifying pit remains.

"Whoa."

Pouring a shovel of sand into the cart, Lin Tuo curiously reached out and touched it, and found that these "sand" were as fine as dust.

"It seems that there is a size-scale conversion mechanism inside this sand table, and ordinary things will be magnified when they enter from the sand table.

The normal size of the gravel, as long as it is taken out of the sand table, will be as small as dust. ”

Lin Tuo withdrew his hand, his eyes thoughtful.

Feel...... It's magical.

Shaking his head, Lin Tuo didn't think much about it, he hurried up and got busy again, and in a few minutes, he shoveled out the sand of the entire sand table, and poured it on the open space in the backyard of the martial arts hall with a cart.

After the entire Tucker Desert was cleared, Lin Tuo turned to digging for soil and rocks.

"The more complex the base material of the sand table, the less difficult it is to derive." Lin Tuo muttered softly, and then began to dig from the back mountain and move to the inside of the sand table.

The backyard of the martial arts hall is a forest, and there are bamboos and flowers planted with it, although it is decayed because it has not been cleaned up for a long time, but the soil here is really good.

During the transfer, Lin Tuo also found that when he put the soil in the backyard into the sand table, the moment he entered the isolation cover, the tiny creatures in the soil would also die, and the color of the soil would even change.

The area of the sand table is not small, and Lin Tuo tossed back and forth several times before he could be considered to have the sand table full.

Immediately, he took water from the well in the courtyard and poured it into the sand table.

After hesitating, he pulled out a few more discarded metal parts from the utility room and threw them into the sand table.

"That should be fine."

Lin Tuo wiped his sweat, then looked at the sand table, and muttered.

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

In my mind, information comes to mind at the right time.

"On." Lin Tuo said.

In an instant, the entire sandbox was covered with a layer of light, and its interior seemed to undergo some kind of transformation, which lasted only a few seconds before calming back.

Inside the sand table, there have been slight changes.

Lin Tuo noticed that above the sand table, a rotating nebula appeared, which seemed to be the universe simulated by the sandbox with reference to the outside world.

There is also a sun in the universe, and a corresponding moon.

"Is it necessary to simulate the moon?" Lin Tuo couldn't help but complain in his heart, after all, the essence of this sand table world is not a planet, but a flat land.

However, the Evolved Sand Table seems to be completely simulated according to the environment in which the Earth is located.

In other words, the evolution of the entire sand table is carried out according to the parameters of the earth.

"In this way, there is an independent ecology inside the sandbox." Lin Tuo looked at the earth again and found that the land had also changed.

Those originally coarse soil particles turned into countless fine dust particles under the action of the sand table, and uplifted, forming primitive peaks and hills.

The water that was poured into it also gathered together and became an ocean and a lake.

It seems that there is a prototype of a world.

[The No. 1 sandbox has been started, and the ...... is running]

Lin Tuo also found that the virtual panel on his retina had changed at this time.

In addition to the "Creative Mode" and the "Back Button" in the upper left corner.

There is an extra line of "current ambient aether concentration" text, but it is followed by the word "none".

It should be a test of the inner aether of the sandbox world.

In addition, there is an icon for the toolbox.

Click on, and there are only two functions inside.

One is the opening and closing of the "isolation cover", which is open at the moment, and Lin Tuo ignored it.

The other is the "speed of time".

You can choose between "Dynamic Adjustment" and "Sync with External".

The meaning is also very simple.

"Dynamic Adjustment" is an ability in the "Evolved Sandbox" creation mode, which will automatically adjust the ratio of the internal time and external flow velocity of the No. 1 sandbox according to the computing power and environment of the sandbox.

In short, in the early stage, when the complexity of the internal environment of the sandbox is low, the proportion is very high.

Probably, in reality, an hour, in the sandbox, hundreds of millions of years have passed.

And as civilizations appear in the sandbox, the complexity increases, and the proportion of time decreases.

In reality, an hour in the sandbox may only be a few hundred years, or even shorter.

Lin Tuo knew that the reason why this was the case was because the more complex the environment in the sandbox, the greater the computing power required, so he could only adjust the flow rate, otherwise the computing power of the derived sand table would not be able to sustain it.

As for "Synchronization with External", it is a manual switch, and Lin Tuo can adjust the internal and external time flow rate to 1:1 at any time.

It is to synchronize the time inside the sand table with reality.

"This function is not bad, it is very worry-free......" Lin Tuo smiled.

In addition to this toolbox, a large area in the center of the entire virtual panel is blank.

"It's not a good idea to have such a large blank space." Lin Tuo couldn't help but complain from the perspective of a designer.

However, in the next second, he noticed that words began to click in the blank area:

[Operation Log:]

[A certain year, a certain month, a certain day, a certain time, a certain minute, a certain second, the world evolves and opens, at that time, it is a quiet world, and it takes on irregular shapes.

The surface is lifeless, filled with mud, sand, water, and a small amount of metal, but it has the basis for life.]

[100 million years have passed, and the world has not changed]

[200 million years have passed, and it is still the same]

……

[When the time came to the fifth hundred million years, there was a trace of fluctuation in the originally dead ocean]
