Chapter 10 Open a plug-in for civilization

Sandbox No. 1 finally produces ether.



This discovery made Lin Tuo deeply excited. You must know that this was the purpose of creating the sandbox.

As time passed quickly in the sand table, Lin Tuo discovered that a bit of green and white breath gradually appeared in the air. It was very light and thin, but it was there after all.

"Do you want to take a sip? Just take a sip?" Lin Tuo hesitated for a few seconds, but stood up, overlooked the sand table continent, and then silently operated the "breath-eating method".

However, what surprised him was that the ethers were not moved by him.

[The current environmental ether concentration is too low and cannot be collected]

Information comes to mind.

Lin Tuo had no choice but to sit down again. He didn't want to play with his mobile phone anymore, so he held his cheek and waited nearby.

The evolution in the sandbox continues.

The climate is generally stable, and occasional droughts and floods also flash by in a fast forward manner as time accelerates.

[The era of laws and regulations lasted for a full eight hundred years. On the mainland, the population increased rapidly, and the original social structure was finally unable to maintain. So, at a certain moment, a war broke out]

[The continent was suddenly in chaos, heroes arose, princes arose, the concept of the state emerged, and the original order was broken. At its peak, the entire continent was broken into eighty-two vassal states, fighting with each other endlessly. The era of laws and regulations ended, and the Warring States era began.



Lines of text are typed out in the run log.

Lin Tuo saw war smoke rising above the sand table. Although he couldn't see the details clearly, just from the glimpse, he could understand the cruelty of the war years.

"A total of less than 300,000 square kilometers of land has actually split into so many forces..." Lin Tuo couldn't help but be a little stunned.

[At the beginning of the Warring States Period, the forces were chaotic. However, as the princes annexed each other and expanded, a pattern of coexistence of the Thirteen Kingdoms gradually formed. The Warring States Period entered a brief period of peace. However, this situation did not last long.

In the 741,103rd year of the world's evolution, the "Chi State" reformed, its national power grew rapidly, and it defeated its neighboring countries in the top valleys. In the next twenty-one years, the territory of the Chi State gradually expanded, and finally annexed all countries and unified them.

mainland.

The king ascended the throne, offered sacrifices to heaven and gods, and proclaimed himself emperor. From then on, the Warring States Period ended and the Dynasty Period began]

"So fast?" Lin Tuo was startled when he saw this log and couldn't help but glance at the dark night outside the window.

At this time, it was just past three o'clock. He originally expected that he might be able to enter the feudal empire era before dawn, but now, it was a little earlier.

"Perhaps, we can try to reabsorb the ether before dawn." Lin Tuo got up, went to the next door to dig out a bucket of instant noodles, cooked it, and then silently waited for the change of the mainland dynasty.

During the Warring States Period, the arrow behind the "ether concentration" had shown a downward trend, but Lin Tuo understood that this kind of war was inevitable in the development of civilization.

It is different from natural disasters.

Therefore, he did not stop or change it.

When the instant noodles are cooked, the arrow changes to the "rising" state again and shows a light green color.

"Suck it." Holding the bucket of noodles, Lin Tuo ate and looked at it, and found that the flow of time in the sand table became even slower, and the distribution of the entire human kingdom began to show a state of centering on the capital and radiating in all directions.

What is most eye-catching are not the large-scale cities, but the patches of farmland. The advancement of farming has increased food production, and the population has also recovered rapidly after the war.

And it soon exceeded the population size in the early Warring States Period.

Perhaps it is because of practical reasons, or because the general development trends of civilization are always surprisingly similar. Even the buildings in the sandbox are gradually converging with the styles of the Han and Tang Dynasties.

Lin Tuo originally thought that this dynasty would be overthrown soon and replaced with a new ruler and country name, but what surprised him was a little bit.

The unified dynasty in the sandbox showed amazing vitality.

[In the 740,602nd year of the evolution of the world, the number of humans on the continent officially exceeded five million]

Shortly after this line of text appeared on the virtual panel, Lin Tuo discovered that the "environmental ether concentration" finally changed from "low" to "low".

"It's ready to be absorbed!" Seeing this scene, Lin Tuo stood up suddenly and saw that the sky outside the window had turned blue and the night was about to pass.

Who would have thought that just overnight, the Tucker continent would complete the transformation from tribal slaves to a unified feudal dynasty?

"I don't know how much ether value can be collected." Lin Tuo suppressed the joy in his heart and tried the "breath-eating method" again, and this time he succeeded.

The blue-white air floating above the sand table and inside the isolation cover slowly gathered and turned into a thin wisp of spiritual energy, which was swallowed into Lin Tuo's body.

However, compared to the first time, Lin Tuo only felt comfortable this time, but there was no such big reaction as last time.

In one breath, nearly 300,000 square kilometers of land were plundered of ether.

Lin Tuo slowly exhaled, opened his eyes, and asked:

"How much ether do I have now?"

[The host currently has 124 ether points]

In my mind, the Evolution Sandbox immediately gave me feedback.

"So few?" Lin Tuo was stunned for a moment. He was very surprised. The total was only 124 points. If you exclude the 93 points he originally had, that means...

With this sip, he only sucked 31 points of ether from the sand tray?

This result was completely beyond his expectation. You must know that the area of ​​this continent is many times larger than that of Yangcheng City.

It's worth a lot, but it's only less than one-third of Yangcheng's.

[The quality of intelligent life in Sandbox No. 1 is low...]

It seemed that his inquiry triggered a certain keyword, and the Evolution Sandbox immediately poured the relevant explanation into his consciousness.

Lin Tuo's eyes opened and closed, and he suddenly realized.

The problem mainly lies in two aspects.

First, the consumption of collecting ether in creative mode will be higher than that in observation mode.

In other words, for the same amount of ether points, in the creative mode, the sandbox "intercepts" more traffic.

This is a mechanism problem and cannot be solved for the time being.

Second, the human dynasty in the sandbox itself does not provide much ether.

Although the land area is large, the total population is not larger than that of Yangcheng City.

You must know that modern cities have extremely dense populations. Although Yangcheng is not the provincial capital, it is still quite large, with a population of about six million.

In addition, what is more important is the quality of human life.

The average life span, health, mental outlook, etc. of modern people far exceed those of humans under the rule of the feudal dynasty.

Not to mention anything else, in the "Dachi Dynasty", a large number of people died of freezing and starvation every year. Under such circumstances, individuals produced very little ether.

If it weren't for Lin Tuo's mouth, which absorbed aether spanning many years in the sandbox world, this number would be even lower.

"This is different from what I imagined." In the old house, Lin Tuo had a headache and smiled bitterly.

Of course, the situation is not too bad. After all, the time flow rate in the sandbox is different from that in real life, and the recovery of ether is also faster.

Therefore, visible to the naked eye, the green and white atmosphere above the sand table recovered a lot in a few minutes.

I believe that after waiting for a while, the second "collection" can be carried out.

How to say? If the quantity is not enough, then use the frequency to make up for it...

But……

Can you think of a way to change this situation?

Lin Tuo leaned back in his chair again and couldn't help but fall into thinking.

"If you want to solve the problem of ether shortage, you must start from the source, either increasing the population quantity or improving the quality of the population."

"It is difficult to increase the population. The level of social production in today's sandbox world is too low. The food produced cannot even feed the millions of people today, let alone more..."

"As for the quality of the population... it is also limited by the current level of social productivity. If the production structure of feudal society does not change, the quality of life cannot be improved..."

In this era of advanced information, Lin Tuo could probably tell the crux of the matter with his ears and eyes.

"So, what should we do? Wait for the feudal empire in the sandbox to continue to evolve?" Lin Tuo leaned on the wicker chair, resting one hand on the edge of the sandbox and tapping unconsciously.

His eyes were full of thinking.

"...No, we can't sit back and wait. If we look at reality, if there is no opportunity, the feudal dynasty is likely to solidify and stagnate, maintaining the current social level for thousands of years."

"Now, the flow of time in the evolution sand table has slowed down a lot. Maybe if I wait ten days and a half, the feudal empire will still be in the shape of the sand table."

"Well...if it is unrealistic to rely on its own improvement, then...what if I, the outside force, give it a push?"

Thinking of this, Lin Tuo suddenly had a flash of light in his mind.

"If I give early science and technology to Chi State, can I speed up their development?"

"Or to put it simply..."
