Chapter 178: Transforming the Moon, Sandbox No. 4(1/2)
After realizing that the crisis was hidden, Lin Tuo decided to further promote the development of reality, but he had no idea how to do it.
The simplest and crudest way is to pour in ether, just like the time when the prayer candle blew itself up and spit it out in a big mouth, and the number of practitioners in the entire Yangcheng area skyrocketed.
But the problem is that this kind of operation is too wasteful and the effect is poor. With this effort, it is far less cost-effective than investing in a sandbox.
But he can't leave the earth alone. Once the Evolution Sandbox is deeply bound to the earth, it cannot be separated. Lin Tuo lives in this world. Once a crisis comes, the earth will bear the brunt.
And he always suspected that the state of the earth might be related to the recovery progress of the sandbox.
On the other hand, the earth has a population of 7 billion and has extremely huge potential. Referring to sandboxes 2 and 3, the combined area is only as large as Europe, and the total population does not exceed 200 million.
Especially World No. 3 is still in the feudal era with many sects... In terms of civilization level, it is far lower than the earth, but there are also several inhuman realms and more martial arts cultivators.
The North and South Continents have even established a complete set of magic systems... It can be said that the potential of the earth far exceeds both, but it lacks a "lever" to leverage it.
"Perhaps it would be better to give knowledge or stimulation than pouring ether."
Lin Tuo whispered in his heart:
"If the people on earth can enter the sandbox, obtain more 'advanced' cultivation, or use the knowledge of the ether, and then bring it back, or even cultivate a group of strong people, it will definitely promote this process greatly."
And once all the countries on earth really make up their mind to push this matter forward, the power that the seven billion people will unleash will be extremely astonishing.
However, Lin Tuo does not intend to send humans into the two existing sandboxes. Letting different civilizations come into contact rashly will inevitably cause a series of problems. He plans to open another sandbox No. 4.
Not just to promote reality, but also to earn ether.
No matter which sandbox he invests in his remaining fifteen thousand points, it is not as cost-effective as building another one. In addition, he is also planning to make some "attempts" through the new sandbox.
For him, the new sandbox will be a testing ground and a new source of ether.
For humans, it will be a great secret realm to gain "power".
As for where to place it... Lin Tuo does not plan to continue placing it on the earth, but wants to try placing it on other planets. Anyway, as long as he continues to explore, he will eventually enter the star sea sooner or later.
It's better to open a small one first and explore the way.
Yes, in Lin Tuo's plan, the No. 4 sandbox will not be bigger, but will be smaller. This is also part of the "attempt".
…
Gathering his thoughts, Lin Tuo touched the dim + with his mind.
Turn on creative mode!
The galaxy changes suddenly!
Although the original stars were illusory, they were still bright and colorful, especially some planets.
But at this moment, the entire galaxy faded and became gray. At the same time, the planets became clearer and more solid.
Lin Tuo was curious and raised his hand to try to touch the largest gaseous Jupiter.
The next second, a stream of information suddenly poured into his mind.
[Name: Jupiter]
[Attribute: Gas giant planet]
【Diameter:142984km】
[Rotation period: 9 hours, 50 minutes and 30 seconds at the equator]
【quality……】
…
These are clearly some basic parameters of Jupiter.
When this piece of information was read, Lin Tuo found that the envelope icon in the upper right corner of the virtual panel lit up for the second time, and he clicked it open with his mind. It was a "Creative Mode Operation Manual".
"Uh..." Lin Tuo was stunned for a moment and clicked on it.
At first he didn't pay much attention to it, but after reading it, his expression suddenly changed subtly.
He suddenly discovered that constructing a sandbox outside the earth was not as simple as imagined.
Well, it's not complicated at all. It probably means that except for the earth, other stars in the current galaxy are not suitable for the development of life. Therefore, if you want to start creation on other planets, you need to consume a certain amount of extra ether.
There is a dynamic addition coefficient.
The specific consumption depends on many factors, mainly two points:
One is the degree of fitness for survival.
That is to say, the more suitable the selected star is for the evolution of life, the less additional consumption will be. If Lin Tuo chooses the sun for placement, the ether consumption figure will be something he cannot bear no matter what.
The other thing is distance.
This is probably because the Evolution Sandbox is located on the Earth. The farther away the planet is from the Earth, the more extra energy it will consume.
In addition, the area will also have a certain impact, that is: the larger the selected area, the more additional consumption will be, but this impact is relatively small compared to the first two.
This caught Lin Tuo off guard, but after thinking about it, it was reasonable. After all, the more unsuitable the place, the more difficult it would be to transform the simulation, and the increase in consumption was normal.
"No wonder... according to the system records, the first owner of the sandbox was so excited after discovering the earth, saying it was a huge blessing... Before that, I was wondering, since the sandbox transformed the planet, why did it not choose the earth...
Now it seems that the earth's environment is the most suitable for evolution and the least difficult to transform. If it were another star, it might have exhausted all its energy and could only support an isolation cover covering half of the planet...
As a result, due to the limited area, the life inside will lose its expandability, and it will be more difficult to produce a civilization that can compete with the empire."
Lin Tuo suddenly understood, and then began to follow the instructions in the operation manual, trying to touch several planets, and trying to delineate the range on the extended surface.
On the virtual panel, the Ether value that needs to be consumed is dynamically displayed.
After several attempts, Lin Tuo had to give up on distant planets and set his sights on Mars and the moon.
The former is the most similar to the earth, and the difficulty of deriving life should be relatively low. As for the latter, it is purely because of the proximity!
Yes, too close!
The average distance is less than 400,000 kilometers!
After weighing several times, Lin Tuo finally chose the moon.
Although according to his plan, if he put it on Mars, the ether in his body would barely be enough to open a sandbox, but that would leave nothing behind.
In addition, Sandbox Project No. 4 will not be too big, and putting it on the moon will not have too much impact.
…
[Name: Moon]
[Attribute: rocky solid satellite]
【Diameter:3476.28km】
…
Thoughts swirled, and when Lin Tuo carefully touched the moon again, relevant parameters flowed through his mind.
In the galaxy, the moon suddenly spread out, leaving only this slowly rotating star suspended in the void in front of him.
Because there is no atmosphere, Lin Tuo can clearly see the craters on the moon's surface.
When you get closer, you can just see the "Sea of Moon" turning in front of you.
The "Maria" is not an ocean, but a plain composed of impact craters filled with lava flows, with bright, ancient anorthosite highlands standing on the edge...
It is not bright, on the contrary, the whole star is gray.
"So ugly." Lin Tuo couldn't help complaining, and then raised his hand to light up the illusory grid above the Moon Sea, and the consumption points on the panel also jumped accordingly.
One hundred thousand.
Three hundred thousand.
Five hundred thousand.
one million.
When Lin Tuo selected one million square kilometers, he stopped and was not ready to continue.
At this moment, the displayed consumption points are close to 5,000 points.
Among them, "Creative Range" only used a thousand points, and the rest were additional consumption.
Compared to the total surface area of the moon, which is about 40 million, Sandbox No. 4 occupies about one-fortieth, which is not as good as the previous two, but it is still enough for evolution.
[Selection completed, do you want to build a sandbox in the selected area? 】
"yes!"
[This construction requires 4980 Ether points, which will be deducted from the automatic purchase...]
At the same time, a reminder that the mall purchase was successful automatically popped up on the panel, and the ether in Lin Tuo's body dropped to 9693 points.
[The host has confirmed that the sandbox area is being "cleaned"...the isolation cover is being generated...]
The next second, a new card filled with moon craters was added to the creative mode.
On the desolate surface of the planet, in the "moon sea", a nearly circular isolation cover suddenly rose up, like an inverted bowl.
[It has been detected that the sandbox environment does not meet the basis for the birth of life and will be transformed according to the default plan parameters. Please wait...]
To be continued...
