Comprehensive network wizard, magic emperor.

Chapter 161: A Paper Box with a Built-in Spacetime Generator
Building the gene weaving machine in the [Botanical Garden] copy does not mean that Lin Bo has mastered the high-end technology of arbitrarily compiling genetic information.

He also lacks a computing and storage center and does not have sufficient computing power support. Even if he deciphers the source code of artificial intelligence, he cannot run the program.

In this era, embracing the information age is no easy task. Lin Bo, however, was not intimidated by the convenience provided by the comprehensive network, but he did need to make a detailed and thoughtful construction plan.

The first step was to get enough computers from the Botanical Gardens dungeon. The production equipment in the industrial park was in a mess, and producing new computers was impossible. Fortunately, the storage area at the end of the production line had a large amount of unopened computer hardware stored.

Chips, motherboards, memory, hard drives—all in good condition, 90% new—just need a little tinkering and you're good to go. The most serious aging issue is the power supply, but that's easily replaceable.

In order to facilitate the transportation of supplies, Lin Bo plans to purchase a space storage prop.

As a hot-selling product with a certain technical threshold, the selling price on the trading platform generally starts at thousands of disaster coins. The price fluctuates greatly depending on factors such as the size of the internal available space, the ease of use, and the firmness and reliability of the product itself.

What’s interesting is that the player’s backpack cannot store items that are not recognized by the network, but the space storage props themselves can be stuffed into the backpack.

After some selection, Lin Bo found a high-tech storage device on the Duolian Duoyi platform. The price was 15550 disaster coins, which was completely within his affordability.

[Merchant Agilent]: Thank you for your patronage!
The sea-blue trade channel is opened.

A brown kraft cardboard box fell out from the vortex of time and space. From the outside, it looked like a standard and perfect cube with a side length of about one meter. Its simple shape was like the common file storage device on the office desk, and it also exuded a realistic pulp aroma.

Paper box with built-in space-time generator (light gold)
Type: Engineering product
Weight: 0.3 kg
Description: A cardboard box with an internal space of 31*31*31 meters. It only looks fragile. In fact, the outer shell will not be damaged until the internal space-time generator is damaged. Of course, you can still decorate the cardboard box with your favorite stickers and graffiti.

Lin Bo opened the carton and what caught his eye was a product manual and a remote control lying at the bottom of the box.

The instruction manual is very thin. The first page explains the function of the remote control, and the rest gives examples of usage scenarios and taboos.

The remote control has only three buttons: blue for "unfold," green for "extend," and red for "fold."

Lin Bo pressed a blue button, and the sides of the cardboard box unfolded and lay on the ground, transforming into a flat sheet of cardboard. A dim white light emanated from the edge of the cardboard, marking the boundary between time and space. Anything placed on the cardboard was to be stored, and living things could enter without being affected.

As long as you keep pressing the blue button, the cardboard on the ground will continue to expand in all directions until it eventually forms a square area with a side length of more than 31 meters.

The reason why it is not exactly 31 meters is probably because the technological civilization that manufactured the cardboard boxes did not use the unit of measurement "meter", and the Zongwang automatically converted the unit during translation.

The green button on the remote control can control the height of the white light at the edge of the cardboard. The area below the height of the white light is the storage area.

Since spacetime indicator lines cannot penetrate dense solids, the folding ability of cardboard boxes cannot be used to excavate walls, mountains, etc., but they can be used to divide bodies of water.

The spacetime inside the cardboard box is a zero-gravity environment. Any items placed within the spacetime indicator will float. Theoretically, no matter how much mass is placed inside, the weight of the box itself will not increase.

Of course, if the stored material is a high-mass celestial body such as a neutron star or a black hole, the carton will be damaged. Other special equipment, props, and items with the ability to tear space and time are also not recommended for storage.

Pressing the red button automatically folds the cardboard back into the shape of a box. The overall function is quite simple and easy to understand. After purchasing the storage items, Lin Bo surveyed the spatial layout at the front of the grotto.

If you want to build a data center here, you have to consider the heat dissipation issue. If the heat generated by a large number of servers running simultaneously accumulates in the cave, it can easily cause a fire.

The computer room needed to dissipate heat, maintain a constant humidity, and filter dust from the air, so he had to build an enclosed space filled with air conditioners and filters.

Lin Bo's work as a decorator wasn't his first. He could draw a computer room design in a single night. However, he had a lot of projects on hand, so construction of the computing center wasn't expected to begin until next week.

In the afternoon, he continued to attend computer classes and catch up on the construction progress of the MSG workshop assembly line.

Nearing evening, Lin Bo watered the mushroom garden's fungus mat, and then took out the jar of plant seeds from the alien planet.

The hibernation tanks were thick, half a person's height, and weighed several tons. Various plants were stored in separate sealed compartments, with seeds ranging from thousands to dozens.

What he values ​​most are two fruit trees that can be used to produce hemostatic gel and hardened foam, whose scientific names are "Pomegranate" and "Gum Powder Coconut Tree".

Lin Bode had to find a way to find out the real names of these plants so that he could breed mimic mushrooms in the fungal mat.

The best way to find out the true name of a plant is to wait until the seeds have germinated and grown into seedlings. So he picked out the seeds and put them in his pocket, ready to take them back to the lighthouse and plant them in his yard.

Lin Bo did not rashly feed the remaining miscellaneous seeds, including resource plants and living plants, to the fungal blanket because he was worried that these mushrooms would produce a bunch of uncontrolled mutants. So he still sealed the jar, put it in a time-space paper box, and then stuffed it into the backpack to prevent genetic leakage accidents.

The Lighthouse Clinic opens in the evening.

Every evening, when the western sea level is burning, the lighthouse keeper comes out from outside the headland. No one knows why he always goes out during the day, and even if asked, the night watchman always smiles and does not answer.

Lin Bo listened to visitors chat about the latest happenings in town. Several wealthy people from Jinbei City were inquiring about the rent in Shita Town, apparently planning to build a house.

Residents here are required to pay rent regularly to the Pearl family, usually collected by the town hall. Compared to city rents, the rent in Stone Tower is very cheap, which has attracted workers to settle here, but it is the first time that wealthy people have settled here.

Other than that, nothing new.

After nightfall, after bidding farewell to his visitors, Lin Bo purchased the fragments of knowledge on the trading platform.

After exchanging the "Brilliant Sacrifice Dedication Ceremony" for the "Teachings of Silent Mountain," he received a refund of the price difference of 1051 Disaster Coins. He then spent another 10199 Disaster Coins to purchase the "Miaoxiang Chant."

In this way, as long as you comprehend the fragments, there will be no obstacles in upgrading the Black Snake Meditation Technique and the Scent of Smell.
