The song seemed to originate from the deep sea, making people want to explore it irresistibly. However, the humans who were caught in the storm were soon knocked unconscious by the waves.

He completely lost his perception of the outside world and slowly sank downwards.

While they were unconscious, one sea tribe after another emerged from the violent sea.

The leader of the sea clan captain raised his arms and opened up a halo, and the surrounding sea suddenly calmed down: "Rescue."

"yes!"

At the command, the sea tribesmen dived into the water one by one, and after a while, they lifted the unconscious crew members out of the sea.

"Come on, take that ship with me and find a safe island to put it on." The captain of the sea tribe with long blue hair said after looking at the dilapidated ship.

Then he couldn't help but mutter again: "If it weren't for the sake of being a benefactor in the clan, I wouldn't care whether you live or die..."

Next to him, another sea tribe member nodded in agreement:

"It's just that, they are just a bunch of lunatics, they are not sane, and they are still breaking through such a big storm. Besides, there is nothing to see in front of them, it's just a wall."

Another sea tribe member hugged his shoulders and said proudly: "Tsk, you don't understand this. I heard there is a saying in the human kingdom, which probably means, don't turn around until you hit the wall."

"Okay, don't be verbose." The team leader interrupted his subordinates' chat, and pulled a group of sea people to cast spells together, blowing up a bubble that was enough to wrap the ship.

…

Two hours later.

On an island far away from the storm belt.

When these surviving sailors woke up from their coma, they saw an island and the repaired old ship on the beach.

Looking at each other.

"Captain? We..." After a long silence, the first mate finally looked at the captain who had been sitting in a daze, looking into the distance, and asked.

The latter was silent for a moment, sighed, and said in a hoarse voice: "Perhaps, this is the will of the gods."

After a pause, he added: "However, humans will one day cross mountains and seas."

…

…

"I'm so brave..." Li Shan, because of the acceleration of time, Lin Tuo did not capture the relevant details. He just saw the ship rushing into the storm brazenly, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Maybe, 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 and maintained the storm. Fortunately, the "Age of Discovery" did not last long and ended.

This is not a very surprising result.

For the technological level of this era, the conditions required for ocean voyages are very demanding. People who dare to take risks and sufficient financial support are required. Otherwise, we cannot afford to build ocean-going ships.

Historically, Columbus also received support from the Spanish royal family.

When the "navigation gold rush" craze subsides and ocean voyages cannot bring more wealth, they will naturally disappear, even if many people are still curious about the world.

…

Lin Tuo was not happy about his success in delaying human beings' access to the border. The "Age of Discovery" was like a signal.

In the next few days, the speed of new entries in the operation log suddenly accelerated.

Almost every ten minutes, new entries will appear.

Lin Tuo was no stranger to similar scenes. He remembered that after teaching science in Sandbox No. 1, and during the two hundred years of Chi State's reform, the entries in the operation log also showed a blowout state.

As the level of social civilization increases, more epoch-making content needs to be recorded.

Yes, not long after the Age of Discovery, there was the prototype of the Industrial Revolution in Sandbox No. 2.

…

"It's much faster than I expected." When Lin Tuo saw the emergence of the new textile machine from the operation log, he couldn't help but marvel.

After all, this time he did not take the initiative to spread science and encourage others.

But if you think about it carefully, it makes sense.

"After all, the humans in Sandbox 2 are not descended from apes, but are the descendants of wasteland immigrants.

Although civilization has restarted and a lot of civilizational achievements have been lost, 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 ether available for him to collect has increased again.

"Breathe." Using the breathing method, wisps of green and white breath flowed into Lin Tuo's mouth and nose from above the sand table, which even gave him a brief feeling of fullness.

Yes, even if it cannot be absorbed, most of it is just stored in the body, but injecting too much at one time will still make Lin Tuo feel "stretched".

You need to rest for a while to stabilize.

After several collections, his reserves approached the 10,000-point mark.

The human society on the sand table has also transitioned from medieval farming to a new era:

[The world is running... In 2008, the first steam engine appeared, which meant the arrival of the steam age. This brand-new power replaced traditional labor and greatly accelerated social production. The emergence of machines also changed the social form]

[On the Northern Continent, the original era of chaotic wars between the various kingdoms has become a thing of the past, and a situation has gradually formed in which the three kingdoms of Winton, Aspen, and Fryer are standing in the same tripod. In particular, the Kingdom of Winton located at the southern end of the Northern Continent is the most powerful.

, the steam age originated here]

[Soon after, with the gathering of social capital, the wind of invention flourished in the Northern Continent. For a time, in just a few decades, new things emerged one after another, and society was changing with each passing day.

Science, culture prospered, and supernatural power gradually disappeared into the dark side with the tacit understanding of the three kingdoms, existing in the form of a church and serving the rule of the kingdom]

[The world has evolved for four thousand years, and the total population of the northern and southern continents exceeds 50 million]

…

Fifty million people…

Seeing this number, Lin Tuo's expression changed significantly.

This number has far exceeded the population of Sandbox 1, and this is far from the limit.

In his eyes, the entire sand table had already changed.

Especially the Northern Continent, which is at the center of the world.

Within the territory of the three kingdoms of "Winton", "Aspen" and "Fryer", there are many tall buildings.

Mining, textile, machinery, lead, and glass factories were scattered in the suburbs, and steam-powered, metal-wrapped battleships appeared on the rivers.

Except for extremely remote places, almost all areas on the continent are included in the scope of human life.

Leaning down slightly, Lin Tuo could see the densely packed, match-like chimneys standing and burning on the plain and around the city, shrouding the bustling city in a gray-yellow mist.

Steam trains carried gentlemen wearing formal suits and top hats, or ladies wearing lace, ruffles, and gauze headdresses, traveling across the continent.

This scene made Lin Tuo feel as if he was watching a 19th-century European silent film from an overhead perspective.

"It's really surprising." Using the zoom function, the view was zoomed to the capital of the Kingdom of Winton.

Gazing at the black-gray buildings and the steel bridges spanning the river that runs through the city, a sense of the times that is intertwined with uplift and hardship comes to my face.

"Is this... a bathhouse? A public bathhouse on the river?" Lin Tuo was even a little surprised to see an arched building similar to a bathhouse appearing on the river in the blink of an eye.

The whole world is developing, galloping, and running into a new era.

"It's like a dynamic picture of Riverside Scene during the Qingming Festival." Lin Tuo couldn't help but sigh, and then his heart moved and he had the urge to record it.

After all, at the rate in the sandbox, this piece of history may pass by very quickly.

"Take some photos, videos, etc. as a souvenir. Don't send them out. Keep them for yourself." Once this idea came up, he couldn't hold it back. Lin Tuo immediately called the virtual panel and adjusted the time to 1:1.

As a result, the scene in the sandbox world suddenly slowed down.

The scene of the Evolution Sand Table is only presented in Lin Tuo's personal field of vision and cannot be photographed with any optical instruments for the time being. This has been confirmed long ago.

So he didn't waste time shooting from above, but directly summoned the clone.

“It’s impossible to take pictures from the outside, but using a clone and placing your phone inside the sandbox, you can always take pictures.”

The logic is very clear. Once you enter the sandbox, it is equivalent to being transported to the real world in the Pacific Black Box.

After making up his mind, Lin Tuo immediately put his right hand into the sand table and put his clone into it.

And the target he chose was the capital of the Winton Kingdom in the northern continent: Metropolis.

"Consciousness switch!"

…

Northern Continent, Winton Kingdom, Metropolis.

In the South District, in a remote and deserted street, it was so quiet that there was no sound.

Suddenly, the air in mid-air suddenly distorted. Lin Tuo, who was wearing a black cloak, took a step forward, bowed slightly, and fell steadily into the alley.

"Pa." His feet landed on the ground with a soft sound.
