Creating a Sandbox World

On this winter morning, some interesting changes occurred in Wang Ting.

According to the rumors, Qing Kong, the owner of the alchemy workshop, hurried to the Alchemist Association for some reason, and then, his husband and wife entered the imperial city together.

And before noon, a recall order was urgently issued using the communication towers standing in various places in the royal court.

As a result, all the top alchemists in the kingdom rushed to the association.

For the Moon Clan people, this is of course a new thing worth discussing, but it is a pity that no matter how they inquire, they can't find out. They only vaguely know that a group of people started a mysterious project.

...

Earth.

After handing over the wishing candle to the Moon Clan, Lin Tuo also waited patiently.

Of course, that doesn't mean he didn't do anything.

Whether it is the control of such exquisite spells as "Magic Postman", or the creation of the second system, or even the third system, he has taken up a lot of time.

Especially the latter, the previously made set was handed over to Huaxi to connect Tianyuan Continent.

For the North and South Continents, Lin Tuo felt that it was necessary to make a set.

Not only is it convenient for him and Hathaway to enter and exit, but if everything goes well, he thinks it can also be used to accelerate the integration of the earth and the sandbox later.

The enemy is now, but the development of the earth is just on the right track. This speed really makes Lin Tuo unsatisfied.

The area that lights up the entire planet is even more distant.

Therefore, allowing the two worlds to communicate with each other to a certain extent has become a matter of planning.

"It is still too rough to directly open the isolation cover, and it will cause too many unpredictable chain problems. Therefore, it may be more appropriate to gradually deepen the understanding through the star gate."

Lin Tuo already had a certain idea about this, but it was not so fast to actually implement it.

In this busy life, a week flies by.

Time came to February 1st, and Lin Tuo finally received the signal from the Moon Sea Continent.

...

When Lin Tuo flew into the royal court of the Moon Clan again as a clone, the silly moon tree that had greeted him in advance finally stopped dropping its leaves.

Using the invisibility spell to cover up his figure, Lin Tuo walked through the streets of the capital of Wangting, and compared it with his memory, which is also very interesting.

There are a lot of alchemy products in the city, and some floating aircrafts amazed Lin Tuo even more.

But this time the purpose was clear, and he didn't waste time. After a little observation, he came to the building complex of the Wangting Alchemy Association.

At this moment, according to his request, the rest of the staff had already evacuated, leaving only a man and a woman, two figures standing nervously at the gate of the association's main research room.

The expression is apprehensive and excited, and from time to time, he will look up at the earth above his head.

"Is it really this time? Why hasn't the teacher appeared yet?"

Tall, with a delicate face, Sessai, who was on prosthetic legs, clasped her hands in front of her, and couldn't help but look at her husband next to her.

Eight hundred years have passed, and she has long faded her greenness. Her long, soft silver hair is tied into a bun at the back of her head. On the bridge of her nose, she also wears a pair of single-rimmed glasses like Qing Kong.

Wearing a light-colored sweater on the upper body, and a white researcher-style robe.

Excitedly, he walked in small steps on the spot, making a light clicking sound.

Next to him, Aozora in a similar attire was much calmer, explaining:

"I used the signal from the communication tower according to the teacher's letter, and it was relayed by Yueshu. It must be just a delay."

His Royal Highness Sesai, who is already a mother, nodded, then smiled to himself, and said:

"I... I'm just a little nervous."

"I know."

"I don't know what the teacher will look like when he comes this time."

When Qing Kong heard the words, there was a trace of curiosity in his eyes, and he was about to speak, when suddenly, the couple heard a flat and slightly smiling voice from ahead:

"I said it before, when we meet again, you will see my real face."

The two hurriedly looked around, only to see the air fluctuate, and a strangely dressed figure with mysterious temperament walked out of the air slowly,

When he came to the two of them, examined them, and said with emotion:

"Eight hundred years, you, and this world, have really changed a lot."

"You are... old... teacher?" Sesai looked at Lin Tuo's figure in amazement, and in his expression, he could still see some of the young girl's mood back then.

Lin Tuo nodded and said with a smile:

"Very different from what you imagined?"

Sesai, who was already a wife, blushed immediately, and said falteringly:

"No, it's just that we thought... thought..."

The gentle blue sky next to him smiled bitterly and said:

"Sese and I thought that you should be an old man."

Lin Tuo smiled and said, "It's just the appearance. If you want, I can also change into the appearance of an old man, but you... really surprised me."

On the way, he also inquired about the situation of his two students. After learning that the two became husband and wife and had a child a few years ago, Lin Tuo was surprised, but also a little emotional.

It's been more than a month since I saw each other, and the two children are already playing soy sauce...I'm still single...It's quite depressing to think about it.

The two were suddenly embarrassed, and lowered their heads like children who have done something wrong.

Seeing this, Lin Tuo put away his teasing thoughts, didn't chat, and went straight to the point:

"Okay, let's talk about specific matters. Is there any progress in the restoration of the prayer candle?"

Hearing the business, although they were extremely curious about Lin Tuo's situation these years and had too much to say, the two of them still forcibly stopped their thoughts, Qingkong said:

"These days we have gathered the high-ranking alchemists from the entire royal court to analyze it together, and we have indeed achieved some results, but..."

"But?" Lin Tuo raised his eyebrows.

Cese explained: "We found a way to repair this alchemy artifact, but we couldn't implement it."

Lin Tuo was slightly surprised, and immediately said, "Take me to see."

"yes."

The rest of the people were dispersed, and the three immediately walked towards the building behind them, walked through the wide and bright corridor, climbed the stairs, and soon came to a closed door.

Cersei raised his hand and pressed the combination lock next to him. The door trembled and opened to both sides. Inside was a laboratory mainly in silver and blue tones.

On a ring-shaped experimental table in the center, there is a simple and simple candlestick quietly placed.

"According to our analysis, the item you sent belongs to the creation of mysterious alchemy..."

As Qing Kong said, he pressed his hand on the surface of the experimental table, as if to verify his identity, and then, the entire circular facility lit up, and with a click, a light curtain appeared.

Inside the light curtain, there is a 3D model of a prayer candle slowly turning.

"We conducted non-destructive testing on it and tested it using virtual activation methods. The final result surprised us. There may be a lot of spiritual substances inside this candlestick...

The latter, we have never seen before, is an existence conceived in the theory you left behind, teacher. "

Qing Kong said, looking at Lin Tuo with admiration.

Eight hundred years, this is not a short period of time for the long-lived Moon Clan people, and alchemy, which had a rough foundation back then, has undergone earth-shaking changes.

An endless stream of theories and technologies emerged, which completely changed the living conditions of the Moon Clan. Many of the technologies far surpassed those left by Lin Tuo back then.

However, no matter how the technology changes, some basic theories are like the foundation of this alchemy building, unbreakable.

Among them is the so-called "spiritual substance", which has never been seen by the Moon Clan people, and it is not that no one has questioned its existence over the years.

The result, just now, is suspiciously visible in a dusty candlestick. He still remembers the shocked expression on the faces of the high-level alchemists in the entire association when they discovered this a week ago.

But hearing this answer, Lin Tuo just raised his eyebrows slightly, and said secretly: Sure enough!

"Continue." He concealed his expectation and said.

Dressed up as a female researcher, Sesai, who is actually the president of the Alchemy Association, said:

"This discovery makes us extremely shocked and excited, but because we have never seen this substance before, we lack effective detection methods for it.

In other words, this part of it is an undetectable black box for us. "

"So, we try to work on the rest of it..."

Saying that, Sessie raised his hand to touch the model in the virtual light curtain, and the candlestick broke down into three parts immediately.

"According to our detection, its structure is not complicated, and it mainly consists of three parts, namely, the signal receiving area, the ability releasing area, and the energy supply area."

"The signal receiving area is the area where instructions are collected.

This part is very interesting, the activation method of this artifact turned out to be a vague spoken code.

We tried to reverse analyze it, and found that we only need to open our mouth and say a specific language combination with our voice, and then we can give it instructions. The specific instruction format is..."

Lin Tuo's eyes flickered, and he said, "I make a wish?"

Sesai was stunned for a moment, thinking that the teacher really knew something about him, nodded and said:

"Yes, that's it. If our judgment is correct, when this artifact is activated, as long as you say 'I wish + specific content' within a certain distance, it can make it give feedback..."

Lin Tuo nodded, not surprised by this: "Continue."

Qing Kong next to him said:

"The second area, the ability release area, actually consists of two parts.

One is the spiritual material gathering area we just mentioned... This is also the source of mysterious power, but we have not been able to analyze it yet.

The other one is the release port.

That is to say, it receives an order, then undergoes an unknown transformation through spiritual matter, becomes a spell, and then casts it through the release port.

That is, the top candle of the candle. Here, we have completed the acquisition of its structure and permissions. "

After a pause, he continued:

"As for the energy supply area... this area is the most severely damaged among the three. According to our speculation, the way this artifact absorbs ether energy may be different from other alchemy products."

"You mean..." Lin Tuo glanced at him.

"The source," Qingkong said, "according to your theory, it is the spirit world, and it may be able to directly absorb ether energy from the spirit world to support its operation.

However, the damage in this area is extremely serious. With our current technical capabilities, we have only recovered less than 20%, and there is nothing we can do about the rest. "

Lin Tuo's heart skipped a beat, thinking back to the time when he prayed for the candle to explode, and secretly thought that indeed, this item can indeed draw power from the spirit world...

This ability is amazing, but it's a pity that it's broken.

Otherwise, if you blow it up again after repairing it, wouldn’t you be able to spend a lot of ether for nothing... Well, it’s hard to say, maybe it will cost a certain amount.

Thinking wildly, Lin Tuo kept it in his heart, and then heard Qingkong continue:

"Of course, it can also absorb the ether in the air, so theoretically it should still be usable."

"But it doesn't respond now." Lin Tuo said.

"Yes," Cersei said with a sigh, "this is what surprised us at first, and we didn't understand what was going on.

After all, strictly speaking, although all three areas are damaged, they are not completely unresponsive, especially after we repair them...

Therefore, we guessed that the problem still lies in those spiritual substances. After many discussions, we had a guess. "

"What guess?" Lin Tuo asked.

cese said:

"It is our guess that it is likely that there is a connection medium between the signal receiving area and the ability release area that has disappeared, which caused this problem."

Lin Tuo's eyes moved.

medium?

He instantly remembered something, that is the "consciousness" that was suspected to be forcibly erased by the evolution sand table...

Originally, the votive candles were self-aware, but they disappeared later.

"We don't know what the medium is, but we feel its absence, and according to the stimulus theory...we try to force it to wake it up by inputting commands, and it really has a certain effect."

Cersei said.

Seeing Lin Tuo was puzzled, she explained again.

To put it simply, it is to stimulate the spirituality in the "sleeping" state by making "wishes" frequently... make it active little by little.

"We were very happy at this time, and felt that we had found the right path, but soon, we found that this method was difficult to implement."

"Why?"

"Quantity, frequency," Sesse said with a wry smile, "it doesn't accept wishes made by machines in disguise, only intelligent life can make wishes, however, the stimulation of a single wish is too small...

Let's figure it out, even if we mobilize the entire Moon Clan to use their communicators to make a wish through the broadcast, it will take a long time to wake it up... Besides, we still can't do this at all.

The communication tower cannot support the communication of the whole clan at the same time.

Worst of all, we discovered that the wish only worked at night, and that the stimulus was lost once it was daytime..."

Lin Tuo understood in seconds.

This precipice is the reason for the votive candle rule.

He still remembered that this thing can only be used at night, and the wish can only last for one night, and it will end at dawn.

According to Sesai, even if all the Moon Clan people frantically make wishes all night, the "number" of wishes will not meet the requirements, and once the sun rises, all previous efforts will be wasted...

Coming back the next night is equivalent to starting all over again...without continuation...

This is a pit.

However, after Lin Tuo was surprised at first, a crazy idea suddenly flashed in his mind, so he was silent for a while, and then slowly said:

"That is to say, as long as there is a large enough wish request in a certain area around the candle in one night, it is possible to open a connection and wake it up?"

Qing Kong and Sesai looked at each other, nodded and said, "In theory, that's the case."

Lin Tuo asked again: "According to your estimation, how many times is enough to make a wish?"

"...At least a billion times." Cersei hesitated and said.

Lin Tuo's eyes became brighter: "Only one billion times?"

He thinks he has an idea.

ps: I suddenly remembered a slogan: the dream of one person, the dream of two people, the dream of three people, the dream of 1.3 billion people... Well, I think you can guess what I'm going to write. .
