Chapter Eighty-Seven: Alert! Alert!
The song seemed to originate from the deep sea, and it was hard to resist the search, but the humans caught in the storm were soon stunned by the waves.
Completely lost his perception of the outside world, and slowly sank downward.
At the same time as they were unconscious, one sea tribe after another appeared in the tyrannical sea.
The captain of the sea clan who was the leader raised his arms and stretched out a halo, and the surrounding sea suddenly calmed down: "Rescue." ”
"Yes!"
At the sound of the order, the sea tribes dived under the water, and in a short time, the unconscious crew members were lifted out of the sea.
"Come on, bring that boat with me, and find a safe island to put it on." The captain of the Sea Clan, with his long blue hair, looked at the dilapidated ship and said.
Then he couldn't help muttering again: "If it weren't for the sake of the benefactors in the clan, I wouldn't care if you lived or ......died."
Next to him, another sea tribe nodded in agreement:
"It's just that it's just a bunch of crazy people, their brains are not normal, and the big storm is still breaking through. Moreover, there is nothing to see in front of it, just a wall. ”
Another sea tribe hugged his shoulders and said proudly: "Tsk, you don't understand this, I heard that there is a saying in the human kingdom, which probably means, don't turn around if you don't hit the wall." ”
"Alright, don't be verbose." The team leader interrupted his subordinates' small talk, pulled a group of sea tribes to cast a spell together, and blew up a bubble large enough to wrap the ship.
……
Two hours later.
On an island far from the storm belt.
When the survivors of the catastrophe awoke from their coma, they saw an island and an old repaired ship on the beach.
Look at each other.
"Captain? Let's ......" After a long silence, the first mate finally looked at the captain who had been sitting in a daze, looking at the distance in a daze, and asked.
The latter was silent, sighed, hissed in a hoarse voice, and said, "Perhaps, this is the will of the gods. ”
After a pause, he added, "However, one day mankind will cross the mountains and the sea. ”
……
……
"Tou Tie, Ah ......" left the mountain, because of the acceleration of time, Lin Tuo did not capture the relevant details, he just saw the ship blatantly rushed into the storm, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Perhaps, this is human beings.
Sometimes, there is no sense at all.
Shaking his head, Lin Tuo didn't dare to leave now, he simply stayed by the sand table, maintaining the storm, but fortunately, the "Age of Discovery" did not last too long and it was over.
This is not a very surprising result.
For the technical level of this era, the conditions required for ocean voyage are very harsh, and there must be people who dare to take risks, as well as the support of abundant funds, otherwise, it is impossible to build an ocean-going vessel.
Historically, Columbus was also supported by the Spanish royal family.
When the "nautical gold rush" subsided, and ocean voyages could not bring more wealth, it would naturally subside, even if there were still many people who were curious about the world.
……
successfully delayed the human touch to the border, but Lin Tuo was not happy, and the "Age of Discovery" was like a signal.
Over the next few days, the rate of new entries added to the run log suddenly accelerated.
Almost every ten minutes, a new entry emerges.
A similar scene Lin Tuo is no stranger to, remembering that in the No. 1 sandbox, after teaching science, the two hundred years after the reform of the Chi Kingdom, the entries in the operation log were also in a blowout state.
With the rise of social civilization, the number of epoch-making contents that need to be recorded has increased.
Yes, not long after the Age of Discovery, there was a prototype of the Industrial Revolution in the No. 2 sandbox.
……
"It's a lot faster than I expected." When Lin Tuo saw the emergence of a new type of textile machine from the operation log, he couldn't help but marvel.
After all, this time he didn't take the initiative to spread science and promote seedlings.
But when you think about it, it makes sense.
"The humans of Sandbox 2 are not derived from apes, but descendants of wasteland immigrants.
Although it has undergone a civilization reboot and lost a lot of civilization achievements, the ideas have always been passed down, which is reflected in the name style of those magic books. ”
This is obviously good news for Lin Tuo.
The most obvious benefit is that the aether available for him to collect is once again raised.
"Suck." Running the Qi Eating Method, wisps of blue and white breath converged into Lin Tuo's mouth and nose from the sky above the sand table, which even made him feel full for a short time.
Yes, even if it can't be absorbed, most of it is just stored in the body, but if it is poured too much at one time, it will still make Lin Tuo feel "supported".
You have to rest for a while to be stable.
After a few collections, his reserves approached the 10,000-point mark.
And the human society on the sand table has also transitioned from medieval farming to a new era:
【World Operation...... The first steam engine appeared, which meant the arrival of the steam age, and this new power replaced the traditional manual labor, greatly speeding up social production, and the emergence of machines also changed the social form.
[On the Northern Continent, the original era of chaotic wars between the countries has become a thing of the past, and gradually formed a situation in which the three kingdoms of Winton, Aspen, and Freel are established, especially the Winton Kingdom located at the southern end of the Northern Continent is the most powerful, and the Steam Age originated here]
[Then, under the gathering of social capital, the wind of invention on the northern continent flourished, and for a time, in just a few decades, new things emerged one after another, and the society changed with each passing day.
Science and culture flourished, and supernatural powers gradually disappeared into the dark side under the tacit understanding of the three kingdoms, existing in the form of churches, serving the kingdom's rule]
[The world has evolved for 4,000 years, and the total population of the northern and southern continents exceeds 50 million]
……
50 million people......
Seeing this number, Lin Tuo's expression changed significantly.
This number is far more than the population of Sandbox 1, and this is far from the limit.
In his gaze, the entire sand table had already changed a scene.
This is especially true of the Northern Continent, which is at the center of gravity of the world.
Within the territory of the three kingdoms of Winton, Espen, and Fryer, there are many towering buildings.
In the suburbs, mining, textile, machinery, lead white, glass factories were scattered, and on the rivers, steam-powered, metal-clad warships appeared.
With the exception of extremely remote places, almost all areas of the continent are included in the scope of human life.
Leaning over slightly, Lin Tuo could see that on the plain, around the city, the dense, match-like chimneys were erected and burning, shrouding the bustling city in a gray mist.
Steam trains carried gentlemen in formal suits and top hats, or ladies with lace, ruffle lace, and gauze headdresses, across the continent.
This scene made Lin Tuo in a trance, as if he was watching a silent film in 19th-century Europe from a bird's-eye view.
"It's amazing." Through the zoom function, the perspective is pulled to the capital of the Kingdom of Winton.
Gazing at the black-and-gray buildings and the steel bridges that cross the river that runs through the city, a sense of the times is intertwined with rising and hardship.
"This ...... Is it a bath? A public bath on a river? Lin Tuo was even a little surprised to see an arched building that appeared on the surface of the river in the blink of an eye, resembling a bathhouse.
The whole world is developing, running, running into a new era.
"It's like a dynamic picture of the Qingming River." Lin Tuo couldn't help but sigh, and immediately his heart moved, giving birth to an urge to record it.
After all, at the rate in the sandbox, probably soon, this history will pass by.
"Take some photos, videos or something to keep them, don't send them out, and treasure them yourself." As soon as this thought arose, he couldn't hold it back, and Lin Tuo immediately called the virtual panel to adjust the time to 1:1.
As a result, the scene of the sand table world slowed down abruptly.
The scene of the evolved sand table is only presented in Lin Tuo's personal field of vision, and it cannot be photographed with any optical instruments for the time being, which has long been confirmed.
So he didn't waste time shooting overhead, but directly summoned the doppelganger.
"You can't shoot from the outside, but you can always shoot with a clone and insert your phone into the inside of the sandbox."
The logic is clear, once inside the sandbox, it is equivalent to being transported to the real world in the Pacific Black Box.
With the thought settled, Lin Tuo was about to put his right hand into the sand table and put the doppelganger into it.
And the target he chose was the capital of the Kingdom of Winton on the Northern Continent: Metropolis
"Consciousness switch!"
……
Northern Continent, Winton Kingdom, Metropolis.
In the southern district, in a remote and uninhabited alley, there is no sound at all.
Suddenly, the air in mid-air suddenly distorted, and Lin Tuo, who was wearing a black cloak, stepped out, and immediately bowed slightly, and fell steadily in this alley.
"Smack." The feet landed on the ground with a soft sound.
After a slight pause, Lin Tuo walked slowly, walked straight along the alley, walked for a while, and suddenly opened up in front of him.
He came out into the street.
Suddenly, the coolness of late autumn is wrapped in exotic scenery, accompanied by countless fine, mixed sounds.
Originally, the silent film was silent from a bird's-eye view, but all of a sudden, it came alive.
The grunt of public carriages rolling across the road, the sound of people talking, the busy people in the nearby buildings, and the fragmentary sounds of colliding objects all converged into a wave of sound that drowned Lin Tuo.
All of a sudden, crashing into the world.
"Smack~"
Lin Tuo squinted his eyes briefly, feeling the breath of this era, and in the next second, he heard a whip, turned his head to look, across the street, a public carriage painted black slowly stopped next to the stop sign.
The carriage has two levels, the carriage is underneath, the upper one is the seat with the back against each other, there is a ladder to climb, the conductor standing on the rear support plate of the carriage is busy collecting the fee, under the stop sign, several citizens waiting to climb into the carriage, and then go away.
On the street, brick and stone buildings are close to each other, and rows of billboards can be seen, and men and women wearing black and white formal suits or long skirts wearing hats of different heights and colors can enter and exit the shops.
There were also some people who looked curiously at Lin Tuo in a cloak, but they were only a little curious, as if this kind of dress was not too unusual.
"Sir~ Do you want to buy a newspaper? Just a penny. In a trance, a somewhat thin boy wearing a gray-brown coat came to Lin Tuo's side and asked seriously, with a little curiosity in his eyes.
"Nope." Lin Tuo smiled and refused.
And added in my heart: unless you also accept RMB......
Seeing the somewhat disappointed newsboy running away, waving the newspaper and selling it, Lin Tuo pulled the hood on his head slightly higher, and sighed softly:
"This is the real world."
Yes.
This is the real world, where many, real people live.
Lin Tuo lifted his hood, wrapped only his cloak, and walked slowly along the street, curiously looking at the goods in the glass windows of the shops on both sides.
In this era, there were no cars, no bicycles, probably not yet, and there were only tracked or trackless carriages running on the streets.
The air was terrible, probably because of the rain not long ago, and some of the roads that were not paved with green bricks were slippery and muddy.
After walking for a while, a wide river suddenly appeared in front of me.
It was the "White River" that crossed the entire metropolis and fed millions of the city's inhabitants.
Well, this name is still seen by chance from the running log.
Blowing the cold autumn wind, Lin Tuo took out the mobile phone that had lost the signal connection from his arms, swiped the screen, and turned on the camera.
Focus...... Shot......
"Click!"
Perfect.
Sure enough, it can be shot.
The main body of the photo is the White River, and on the other side of the river are buildings, streets, and a construction site can be seen, fenced in, and there are workers busy, I don't know what it is.
"That's the subway ventilation shaft under construction," Suddenly, a man dressed in a formal suit and a top hat, similar to a British gentleman in a film and television drama, walked up to Lin Tuo and introduced with a smile, "This is the first subway line in the entire continent."
Once built, it will take only 15 minutes to get from Palleton Station to Francão Station and back to the starting point via Euton Station and King's Cross Station......
It is said that the original design was to use compressed air as the power of atmospheric railways, but because it could not meet the sealing requirements, it was changed to steam technology......
You can only drill ventilation shafts all over the city, like a bunch of gophers busy digging holes......"
Speaking of this, he shrugged his shoulders helplessly and said tentatively: "Southern continental? ...... in your hands It seems to be a new thing. ”
Well, this is ...... Accosted? Shoot the breeze? It's the Southern Continent again, I remember that hundreds of years ago, the baron also guessed that he was from the Southern Continent, well, could it be that they looked similar......
With similar thoughts in his mind, Lin Tuo put away his phone and said with a smile: "A collection." ”
Well, boys don't accept casual pick-ups from strangers outside!
The middle-aged man obviously also felt Lin Tuo's alienation, but he still didn't give up.
Just like every lucky person in this era who stumbles upon a "business opportunity", he intuitively believes that the small machine in the hands of this cloaked Southern Continenter seems to contain great mystery.
And just when Lin Tuo gradually became a little impatient and was about to find an excuse to get rid of the other party, suddenly.
Some of his "spiritual intuition" shook, and Lin Tuo almost subconsciously raised his head and looked at the mist-shrouded sky.
Immediately, I heard the loud, hurried voice that seemed to come from the universe:
[Alert! Alert! A devastating transcendent item has been detected entering Sandbox 2! 】
[Alert! Alert! …… The sandbox operating environment is threatened! Please deal with it as soon as possible! 】
【Alert...!】 Alert! ……】
