Creating a Sandbox World

   "Why?" It was probably Lin Tuo's answer that was so decisive that all the people present were a little startled. Hathaway's two short arms spread apart, her body leaned forward, and stared at him.

   "Are you surprised?" Lin Tuo smiled.

  Hathaway choked, waved, and said:

   "There is no...that is, I think you are not curious?

  It’s not just a question of saving time, you are not curious what happened? Maybe it can be profitable in the past. "

  Lin Tuo sighed lightly and said: “First, saving time is of course important, but compared to the dangers that may be idiotic, a moderate detour is acceptable.”

  "Second, I am of course curious, but I know better when I can be curious and when not."

   "Okay," Hathaway spread her hands, and suddenly an upward curve appeared on her delicate face, and said joyfully: "Actually, I want to persuade you to make a detour without telling me. I am timid."

   "I didn't see it." Lin Tuo rolled his eyes.

  Xuan even clearly noticed that the search ship began to adjust its direction.

  A certain area on the glass curtain wall used to display the "star map", the small dot representing the battleship also deviated from the original straight line, trying to pass from the edge of the ripple.

   "By the way, you said just now how fast a warship can sail in the real universe? Can it reach the speed of light?" Withdrawing his sight from the star map, Lin Tuo suddenly thought of this question.

  "How is it possible? It's very slow anyway," Hathaway explained. "In the spirit world, warships can slowly draw energy from all around, and use the natural disturbance of the surrounding environment to accelerate.

  But once it enters the material world, its speed is similar to the current rocket thrust on the earth, and it is not designed to fly in the material world.

  The energy consumption will be extremely intense. What I thought before was that if you insist on entering the material world and moving forward in a straight line, then I will try to accelerate with a gravitational slingshot. "

  Gravity Slingshot... Lin Tuo was slightly startled, and remembered the meaning of this term.

  Simply put, the spacecraft in the universe is limited in size and cannot carry too much fuel, so it often uses the gravitational force of the planet to achieve a secondary acceleration of itself.

  Human probes sent outside the solar system are just like that.

Because you want to explore away from the sun, you will be constantly pulled from the sun, and your own speed will continue to decrease. Therefore, if you want to accelerate, you need to try to cut into the orbit of the planet when you are close to some large celestial bodies, and Ignite at the highest speed point to achieve acceleration and separation.

  Lin Tuo used to watch the movie Wandering the Earth, he wondered why the Earth had to pass Jupiter...not to avoid it, in fact, to use Jupiter to accelerate itself.

  "In other words, the imperial people's technology is also biased. They light up the technology tree of the spiritual transition. In terms of real space navigation capabilities, they are still at a stage close to the earth?" Lin Tuo Chumu concluded.

  He faintly felt that this was a very important piece of information.

   "It's not easy to say that, maybe it's this warship's sideline." Huaxi thought for a while and said.

  Lin Tuo shook his head and said:

   "It doesn't make sense, the search ship is performing a long-distance exploration mission, and it will not leave such obvious shortcomings no matter how you think."

  Speaking, he shook his head and laughed at himself: "This hasn't even reached other people's sites, so I started to analyze it randomly."

  The black-haired, black-eyed Mount Sinai stood quietly, watching Lin Tuo and the others talking with interest. Through this half-month contact, her attitude towards Lin Tuo and others changed from awe to intimacy.

  While speaking, the battleship has detoured to the side of the planet where the disaster occurred.

   is also the closest point.

  Hathaway suddenly said, "Do you want to satisfy your curiosity?"

  "What do you mean?" Lin Tuo asked.

  She said: "The battleship actually has a detection function. It can conduct a brief spy on the material world without leaving the spiritual world, which is very safe.

  唔, at least the system records are very safe.

  The original team of this ship used this feature frequently. I was too far away before, and I couldn't see clearly, but now, although it is still far away, I can see it anyway. "

  Can still do this? Lin Tuo thought for a while and said, "You can try, if it is dangerous, stop immediately."

   "Hao Le~"

  In the next second, at the center of the silver-white battleship traveling through the spirit world, the antenna swayed slightly, and on the side of the battleship, two small antennas like snail tentacles came out.

  In the dark spiritual world, a small opening was suddenly torn open.

  The glass curtain wall also showed a picture:

  In an unfamiliar but equally silent real universe, in the sea of ​​stars, a pale planet is slowly turning according to the established regulations.

  On the opposite side of the pale planet, there is an exceptionally bright star like a burning fireball.

   Just a few seconds after everyone saw the planet, suddenly, Lin Tuo's heart made a great alarm!

   "Close!" he shouted.

  "Papa." The picture went out instantly, and the torn hole was healed again.

  There was silence in the lounge.

  No one spoke.

  The Yue people of the maintenance team looked at each other, not knowing what happened, Huaxi raised her brows, and subconsciously pressed her heartbeat.

  A drop of cold sweat slipped off Sinai’s forehead.

  Just now, she vaguely felt that the pale planet seemed to be "alive", and she looked at them.

"this is……"

  "Leave it alone. Keep walking." Lin Tuo said expressionlessly, Hathaway gave a hum, and the battleship quickly moved away on the star map.

   "Look!" Suddenly, Mount Sinai pointed to the front left of the glass curtain wall.

  I saw that in the spirit world, there was an illusory sea.

Yes!

  The sea!

  A piece of rootless duckweed, a blue ocean with a radius of about one thousand meters floating in the void, on the surface of the sea, a huge and weird figure is making a rush.

   seems to be moving towards the position of the planet, but because of the ripples, it moves at a speed comparable to a snail.

  Its upper body is similar to a human shape, with black complexion, long hair fluttering, and it does not distinguish between men and women. The lower body is a tentacles like octopus, in the ocean, imitating wheels, taking turns struggling forward...

  And around it, some low-level spiritual life are still swimming in the sea.

  This scene is weird and funny.

  As the battleship flew, it suddenly stopped its thumping, turned its head and looked over, and two short steel forks appeared in its hands.

   appeared extremely alert.

   "Lord of the Spirit World..." Huaxi exclaimed, "Is it going to that planet?"

   "It looks like it is," Lin Tuo had a weird expression, and he thought of a monocular giant in his mind... I remembered that he had discovered the abnormal disturbance of the wish candle.

  So I rushed all the way to the sandbox No.2 to send the experience...This product in front of me is also 80%.

   "What shall we do? It is eyeing us!" Hathaway said as she reduced her speed.

  Lin Tuo thought for a while, and said: "Drive normally, get ready for battle, I'll go out and have a look."

  Speaking, he closed his eyes and sank into the sea of ​​knowledge.

  Leaving the battleship with the help of the "gate of the spirit world".

   Passed through the energy shield in the form of a spirit, leading the battleship to fly, and at the same time looked at the "Octoclawed Lord", and spoke with spiritual force:

   "Are you going to devour spirituality?"

  In the spirit world, the distance of spiritual power transmission is extremely long.

Opposite   , the lord who was soaking in the sea saw Lin Tuo appear, his eyes moved, and he became more alert, and said, "You want to grab me?"

   Lin Tuo denied: "I just passed by, you should be able to see that if I were to pass, I would not come in this direction."

  "The Eight-Claw Lord" looked at the direction he came, and seemed to agree with this statement. The hostility in his eyes was slightly reduced, but he was still vigilant:

   "You go yours, I go mine."

   "That's what I meant," Lin Tuo smiled, his eyes flashed, and said, "But I want to remind you that that planet is dangerous."

  "The Eight-Claw Lord" frowned, as if not used to Lin Tuo's kindness: "When I arrive, there will be no danger."

  It means that when it passes, the forbidden item that destroyed civilization will completely lose the ether, and thus cannot display its ability, just like a tiger with its teeth pulled out.

  Lin Tuo understands, this one-eyed giant said.

  However, he still said seriously:

   "I mean, even if the ether is lost, it may still be dangerous. Just now we tried to spy on the outside from a distance, and I felt very disturbed."

   "The Eight-Claw Lord" frowned more and more, as if he was a little uncertain about the intentions of the lord-level powerhouse in front of him who was mixed with the higher civilization.

  Thinking about it, it slowly said: "Thank you for the reminder, I will pay attention."

  啧...The good words can't persuade the ghost who wants to die...Lin Tuo is helpless, he really thinks that the planet is not right, but since everyone says that, he doesn't bother to talk nonsense, nodded:

"it is good."

   then pretended to ask casually: "Dude, inquire about something, have you encountered any other aircraft recently? Like the one behind me?"

   "..." The Octopus Lord was silent, as if he was quite uncomfortable with Lin Tuo's name. After thinking about it, he shook his head and said briefly:

"No."

  After finishing speaking, it took the initiative to control the sea and set aside the road, which meant urging Lin Tuo to leave.

  Let’s go...I can’t find any information...Lin Tuo sighed and had to return from the gate of the spirit world.

  In the big lounge, when Lin Tuo opened his eyes again, he saw Huaxi and the others looking at him with strange expressions.

   "Look at what I am doing, let's go, everyone has given us way." Lin Tuo said.

   "Oh." Hathaway answered vaguely, without saying anything.

   Soon, the two staggered and moved away quickly. Not long after, the Octopus Lord and the pale planet were all left behind.

  A few people did not continue to talk about this topic, Lin Tuo just asked Hathaway to record the coordinates, thinking that if there is a chance in the future, he will take another look at the follow-up.

  Of course, the premise is that they can come back from the empire alive.

  ……

  After a short episode, the sailing became stable and monotonous again.

  There were no problems for more than half a month.

  Until May 15th.

  When Lin Tuo walked into the big lounge again, he got an excited notice from Hathaway:

"We have arrived!"
