Chapter 7 The Elephant Sitting on the Ground(1/2)
miracle!
When he heard this word, Lin Tuo's expression subconsciously changed subtly.
And turned the volume down a bit...
In the video, the director first briefly narrated the experience of his group, and then said excitedly:
“...until now, I still can’t believe what I’m seeing.
If you haven't experienced it personally... This, this is simply too magical. The entire desert is covered, and the road changes silently.
We didn't even notice it when it happened...
This, I don’t even dare to write this in the script!”
Behind him, the screenwriter standing in the corner of the screen hesitated to speak, but in the end he didn't say anything.
It can be seen that these people are not emotionally stable.
The reporter immediately interviewed the next few leading actors, and most of them were in a similar state.
The video ended soon. Lin Tuo silently clicked on the comments on this blog post and found that the number of comments was approaching 100,000.
“It’s actually ××! I didn’t expect them to be over there!!!”
"Speaking of which... isn't this just hype? Is it the preview of Director Li's new drama? What kind of publicity plan was this created by a genius?"
"...Have you ever seen the state's official media help with publicity? Even if it is publicized, it will not be done in this way!"
"Seriously, it's not really some alien technology, is it?"
"Why panic...it's just a bug in the earth server's mold...the technical department will fix it later."
…
The comments at the top of the list have hundreds of thousands of likes alone.
Lin Tuo silently opened several other apps on his phone and found that without exception, almost all platforms were talking about this sudden hot topic.
After checking the hot search index, Tucker Desert Black Box’s entry undoubtedly topped the list.
Even the foreign media was stirred up by it. Lin Tuo saw that someone had intercepted pictures of several top foreign Internet platforms, and they were all discussing the "Chinese black box."
Some people doubt, some are afraid, some are curious...
"Sure enough..." Seeing this result, Lin Tuo found that he was calmer than expected. Well, this meant that it was wise to mute his phone and buffer it all afternoon.
"Are you also looking at the black box thing?" At this time, the owner of the restaurant came over with the food, put it on the table, glanced at Lin Tuo's mobile phone, and asked casually.
"Yeah, I don't know if it's true or not." Lin Tuo pretended to be suspicious.
The boss was broad and fat, with small eyes and a kind-hearted person. He shook his head and said nonchalantly:
"I'm afraid it's true, but it has nothing to do with us ordinary people. Didn't I say that experts have already rushed there? We just have to wait for the results."
"That's true." Lin Tuo smiled, feeling inexplicably relieved.
Yes, the Internet is so lively because it happened in a remote desert after all.
Most people are just watching the fun.
Life is so difficult and I have too much time to take care of myself. How can I be in the mood to care about the fate of mankind?
Shaking his head, Lin Tuo quickly solved the problem of dinner and bought some daily necessities.
We rushed back to Lishan Martial Arts School before sunset.
…
"Hey, the land area has recovered." When Lin Tuo returned to the old house, he saw that the water produced by the melting of the large glacier had slowly receded on the sand table while he was eating.
The land area in the entire sand table has increased again.
[Fifty million years have passed, because the sea water has receded and the original seabed has turned into land. The algae and ferns in the ocean have been stranded in the sun, and large areas have died. However, some of them have survived, evolved, and taken root.]
[Similar to plants, some invertebrate marine animals with simple life structures have also experienced similar processes]
[Another ten million years passed, and vertebrate reptiles gradually appeared]
Calling out the virtual panel with his mind, Lin Tuo saw more lines of text on the "Run Log".
The sand table also presents an ecosystem that is more and more similar to the earth's environment.
The sand table is surrounded by a large expanse of ocean.
Wrapped in the ocean is an irregular piece of land.
On land, there are gradually more and more green colors. As for the animals, they are too small for Lin Tuo to observe.
"At this rate, we should be able to evolve an observable group of animals by tomorrow morning." Lin Tuo counted the time and silently estimated.
Considering that as the complexity of the sandbox environment increases and the proportion of time elapses decreases, he feels that his estimate should be accurate.
"Speaking of which, the world simulated by the sandbox completely refers to the parameters of the earth, and the world evolution process seems to be closer to the real world intentionally or unintentionally...
So, those evolved from the sandbox are probably humans... I just don’t know if dinosaurs will still appear."
Lin Tuo thought while sorting out the information in his mind.
It is inevitable for the sandbox world to move closer to the real world. Sandbox evolution is not a real accident after all, and it is unlikely that intelligent life different from humans will evolve.
If there is an accident, Lin Tuo will intervene. After all, from an emotional and practical perspective, humanoid life is more comfortable.
After confirming that the sand table was running well, Lin Tuo took advantage of the fact that it was not completely dark yet, used tools to repair the holes in the roof, and then came to the patio immediately.
Turning on the lights under the eaves, the entire martial arts arena was empty and bright.
The unexpected appearance of the evolution sand table forced Lin Tuo to push back the reconstruction of the martial arts gym a little. Fortunately, he had to wait for several years, not even a few months.
"In addition, the work of digesting and fusing ether has to be put on the agenda." Lin Tuo tried to sense his body and found a faint cyclone in his lower abdomen.
At this moment, he already knew that ether needed to be digested.
Only part of the green and white energy inhaled into the body with the help of the sand table has been integrated into his cells, muscles, bones, flesh and blood... These energies will improve his body.
To use a more mysterious term, it is a "tempering" process.
The remaining ether, which has not been truly absorbed, is still stored in the body and can be used, such as to condense into illusory weapons like before.
It can also be fed to the mall to purchase the area for observation mode.
Lin Tuo thought about it carefully and decided that for now, he should focus on "tempering" his body to achieve evolution at the life level. As for the method of accelerating "tempering and digestion"...
Based on his previous experience in martial arts, he felt that he could speed up by using the traditional method of stretching the body.
"However, with my current physical fitness, basic exercise methods are no longer effective. I can challenge some more difficult ones."
Standing at the door, Lin Tuo lifted up his sleeves, looked at his well-proportioned and strong arm lines under the light, and came up with an idea.
…
That night, Lin Tuo didn't stay up late and went to bed very early in the bedroom next to the old sand table house.
A night of silence.
In the early morning of the next day, when the morning light was fading, Lin Tuo had already woken up, washed briefly, and then opened the door of the old sandbox house next door.
According to the description in the system log, he already knew that his judgment was accurate.
"Large animals have appeared." Lin Tuo stood beside the sand table with some joy, overlooking the vast land.
After one night, the continent was already lush and green, with snow-capped mountains, plateaus, basins, river valleys... different terrains scattered around, and patches of virgin forest standing there.
When Lin Tuo manually adjusted the time flow rate to 1:1 and tried to bend down to blow away the clouds and mist above, he was startled by a flock of birds, which flew up from the depths of the forest, screaming.
"Boom!" Lin Tuo carefully tried to tap the ground with his finger, which caused the ground to shake. Because he controlled his strength, it was not a big earthquake.
But despite this, many animals in the forest screamed and fled towards the plains.
Most of them are so small that they can only be roughly identified as belonging to the feline or canine family.
There are also a few larger ones, which are more conspicuous.
"This is... an elephant? Uh, or a similar species?" Lin Tuo looked down at a short-haired species similar to an elephant with some surprise. They ran in groups on the ground, raising bursts of smoke and dust.
.
Lin Tuo was curious for a moment, thought about it, reached out his right hand into the sand table, and carefully grabbed an "elephant" running at the end with his fingers.
…
In northwest China, on the outskirts of a certain city, the outside of the isolation barrier known as the "Magnificent Wall".
It was early morning, and the sun had just risen from the eastern horizon.
However, in a temporary station beside the national highway, it was very lively.
Cars were parked in the distance, and the searchlights on their roofs were not turned off.
The scientific researchers who had arrived one after another last night gathered here, and at this time, a temporary research point had been set up.
Strange sensors were connected to cables and placed on the surface of the "Wall of Magnificence" by people stepping on the fire escape.
