Creating a Sandbox World

"Sister Jing, you know what I recorded."

...

"Our troops are different from those stationed in the headquarters of the star area.

After a mission, who knows how long it will take to return, or simply die out and cannot return.

So, every time we travel on business, we must treat it as the last time. I remember, you taught me this. "Han Yue said, the camera still facing out the window:

"In order to ensure the continuity of memory, shooting is of course necessary."

Lin Jing smiled and said, "But the captain didn't take pictures, nor did I take pictures."

Han Yue said helplessly: "So, I can't compare to you guys. I have been in the army for a short time. I still can't tell you about life and death."

The two voices came from the speakers, very clear.

In the large lounge, the bright light and shadow on the screen illuminated Lin Tuo's concentrated face.

It's like the beginning of a real movie.

When talking in a voice-over, the perspective is firmly fixed.

The scene is inside a car with a special shape. Outside the camera, there is a circular window first, and outside is a city that quickly passes backwards.

Because of the reflection, the scene in the frame is not clear, and the shooting angle is also limited.

However, Lin Tuo still used this fragment to get a glimpse of the true face of the distant empire for the first time.

It is a city full of order and beauty.

Yes, order.

This was the first adjective that came out of Lin Tuo's mind.

Perhaps because the photographer has already left the urban area, the picture does not show the interior of the city, but a shrinking perspective.

A clear river, with neatly trimmed green plants like walls on both sides of the river.

Farther away, is a large city composed of buildings of different shapes. At a glance, those buildings are not like regular square boxes like human society, but weird.

It seems that all the landmark buildings on the earth are gathered together, like a lush forest, but there is no sense of chaos.

In the whole three-dimensional space of the city, there are rounded vehicles that follow certain established rules.

It's like round bullets, in series, moving forward or turning at different heights... The photographer is probably also riding a similar thing.

"Unmanned aerial vehicle?" Lin Tuo guessed.

The sense of order comes to a large extent from these self-driving "cars", which seem to be precisely regulated by an invisible but ubiquitous will.

It runs in a seemingly complicated but precise way to transport passengers to their destinations safely.

"Wow even."

On the sofa, Huaxi also screamed in exclamation, and immediately covered her mouth with her hand, worrying that she would overwhelm the conversation in the speaker.

Outside the screen, Lin Jing and Han Yue have been having a match, and they didn't talk about each other, and sometimes an unclear vocabulary popped up in the words.

It can be seen that there should be only two of them in this carriage.

As the city disappears in the picture, the surrounding main body of the picture becomes an endless garden.

About ten minutes later, the camera finally turned, and a magnificent building appeared in the picture, its shape reminiscent of the Olympic torch...

It occupies a huge area and there are no aircraft in the sky. It may be that there is some kind of "no air" requirement.

The vehicles they took also quickly lowered their height, and then stopped.

"I'm at the base, let's go. The captain should have been waiting in the battleship." Lin Jing said, "Turn off the camera. Shooting is prohibited inside the base. It will be troublesome to get caught."

Han Yue sighed and said, "I know."

Then the camera shakes, goes black, and the playback is over.

This video is only ten minutes.

"Only these?" Lin Tuoyi still asked, sitting on the sofa.

Hathaway, who served as a temporary projectionist, said:

"There are some, but they were all shot inside the battleship. Well, something like vlog. The amount of dialogue in it is very low. Most of them are scenes of daily chatting, eating, or playing cards.

The communication of some important information is hardly recorded.

It may be based on confidentiality requirements.

I have also sorted out the transcript and put it in the bracelet document. You can wait to read it, but there is really no valuable information.

Want to watch the video? "

"No need." Lin Tuo nodded first, then said.

"Hey." Hathaway snapped her fingers when he heard the words, the lights in the large lounge were turned on again, and the glass curtain wall was restored to transparency...just like the movie ended.

Lin Tuo was lost in thought.

Huaxi and Hathaway did not disturb him tacitly.

It is hard to say that Xiao Wuyang's method of destroying information before his death played a role, or that they usually pay much attention to information security.

In short, the results of the repair can only be said to be unsatisfactory.

They still don't know much about that distant world, but it's like Lin Tuo once stood at the door when he was promoted to the inhuman state, looking at the spiritual world from afar.

This very short video also revealed a corner of the mysterious empire for him.

"It's better than I thought." After an unknown amount of time, Lin Tuo broke the silence and said with a slight smile.

"Oh?" Huaxi and Hathaway both looked over, without concealing their doubts.

Lin Tuo leaned on the soft sofa, his eyes were clear and deep:

"Before, I didn't know the appearance of that cosmic civilization at all, so I often had delusions, and most of the imaginations were evil, horrible, purgatory in the world...

Let’s not hide it from you, I thought before, whether it would be a civilization that I totally cannot understand...

Just like, it is difficult for an ant to understand the operation of human society and the joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys of humans. "

"There are also people who live there. I am worried that I can't understand their thinking, because it often means that we are just two completely different species with similar appearances."

After a pause, the corners of Lin Tuo's mouth curled up slightly, a certain flash of inexplicable expression:

"However, now I find that this is not the case. You know, what was I paying attention to when I watched that video just now?"

Hathaway froze for a moment and said:

"Of course you pay attention to the city, you can see it with enthusiasm, and you don't want to figure out their social situation or something."

Huaxi sitting on the sofa thought about it, but suddenly said:

"People, teacher, are you paying attention to people, right?"

"Yes," Lin Tuo glanced at the little girl approvingly. "Although I am staring at those city buildings and flying machines, it is people who really let me put down my fear."

"I can clearly feel that these people are the same as us. They are afraid of death and will shoot videos similar to vlogs to record their lives. They will worry about and worry about their business trips.

I will consider what I didn’t bring, or what to bring...

Can read Shuangwen, can ***, pass the boring mind and time. "

"They are no different from us. They stripped off their uniforms and equipment, and took out the chips from the back of the neck. It's no different..."

As he said, Lin Tuo's speech was getting faster and faster, and his expression became more and more flying. The dark clouds that had always been pressing on his heart these days have dispersed a lot:

"So, do you understand? If they present a different psychology from ours, then I would really be afraid, but it is not the case."

Lin Tuo stood up and looked at the Moon Clan Royal Court Center outside the glass curtain wall, the moon tree with white branches and stems, and said:

"Perhaps, I did look at them highly before.

Perhaps, compared to the human beings on earth, they are only at a higher level of technology, and their social forms have gone a little earlier.

Well, maybe even the form has no essential difference, just like they are still called ‘empire’. "

Huaxi's eyes were slightly bright, and she stood up.

Hathaway blinked, suddenly a little excited:

"So, you mean..."

Lin Tuo smiled and said: "People are afraid of ghosts, but if they know that ghosts are pretending to be people, there is no need to fear, just think about how to defeat the opponent."

"Hathaway, can you estimate how long the empire can receive after that message is sent?" Lin Tuo suddenly asked.

Hathaway thought about it and said:

"Actually, I have calculated that this warship has been in contact with the rear when it is moving. Although the content is destroyed, the record can be sent, and the time is still stored in the log."

"En... If they translate their'standard time' into earth time, this team will start from the Ueno star area. It may not have been two years until now."

"Oh?" Lin Tuo was really surprised now.

"Yes, and most of the past two years have been wasted searching everywhere... I did a simulation before.

If you don't take a detour, draw a straight line between the two places from the earth to the Ueno star area.

Then use the spirit world to leap to the past... Under the circumstance of no accident, it will probably arrive in less than a month. "

Hathaway said seriously.

A month? !

Lin Tuo was taken aback, then suddenly realized something:

"You mean, do you know the coordinates of the Ueno star area? And you can arrive within a month on the search ship under our feet?"

"Yes, there is one in the coordinate system, and there is only one. Sending messages back and forth, it must be the right place to start," Hathaway said with her arms akimbo, "As for calculation, it is even simpler for me."

However, at this time, Lin Tuo didn't even bother to look at this guy, but quickly thought about it. Huaxi quietly looked at him and suddenly said:

"Teacher, do you want to..."

Lin Tuo nodded, his eyes brighter than ever:

"You said, how about we also go to the empire to stroll around?"
