Age of Cataclysm: I can light up the technology tree

This sign of success undoubtedly greatly boosted the morale of everyone in the laboratory.

For a time, almost everyone believed what Lv Yongchang said about the 1500Gpa tensile strength of multi-walled carbon nanotubes!

In the next few days, good news came from the laboratory one after another.

"Professor Lv, we changed the order of arrangement, and the tensile strength reached 260Gpa!"

"290Gpa!"

"350Gpa!"

"..."

As time went by, the maximum tensile strength of multi-walled carbon nanotubes continued to increase.

Just when everyone was full of confidence, reality gave everyone a big bag.

The data began to fall back.

After the maximum tensile strength reached 500Gpa, the data of each subsequent sample did not exceed this record.

Lv Yongchang frowned and looked at the data in the computer.

After a moment of silence, he slowly shook his head.

"No, this is not right."

"This number of multi-walled carbon nanotubes is definitely not what we need."

As he spoke, Lv Yongchang said in a deep voice: "Zero, have you accumulated enough data?"

Zero's voice soon sounded: "Professor, 5,670 sample data have been accumulated so far. Do you need me to calculate and analyze them?"

Lv Yongchang's eyes showed a bit of entanglement.

5,670 data samples seem to be a lot, but for such a material with great changes, it is obviously not enough.

But the experiment has been going on for almost a month since the beginning.

If you continue to blindly try and error, the time cost will be incalculable!

"Zero, give it a try."

"If possible, it is best to deduce a general direction."

As Lv Yongchang's voice fell, the humming sound of the cooling system suddenly sounded in the distant quantum supercomputing center.

...

Beijing.

Within the first ring road.

"Qiming, I have an idea, how about you listen to it."

The old man behind the desk put down the teacup in his hand, and his eyes became deep.

"According to the current progress, we will soon enter the universe."

"You should know this, right?"

Facing the old man's question, Hong Qiming, who was standing in front of the desk, nodded hurriedly.

After the establishment of the Human Union, his position also changed slightly.

Although he was no longer the Minister of Science and Technology, thanks to Lv Yongchang, he also became a member of the Human Union Parliament.

Compared to the original, his position must have moved up a lot.

The old man's steady voice continued to come.

"During this period, I thought for a long time."

"If we really escape this disaster by chance and become a truly valuable interstellar civilization."

"Relying on only one parliament, it is impossible to take on the responsibility of leading civilization."

Hearing this, Hong Qiming was shocked!

"Chairman, what do you mean by this!"

He whispered with a slightly hurried breath: "Humanity has just united now, can you..."

Member Li smiled slightly, raised his skinny palm and waved gently.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not going to step down."

"So what you mean is..." Hong Qiming's doubts became more intense.

The smile on the old man's face gradually faded.

"Facing the unknown universe, I think I'm just an ordinary person."

"I don't know what interstellar civilization is like, I can only use my imagination to imagine it."

"I thought about it for a long time and came to two conclusions, or guesses."

At this point, the old man paused slightly.

"First, the primary task of interstellar civilization is to develop technology. In the vast universe, we need to face not only threats from the universe itself, but also threats from other civilizations."

"Therefore, no matter what happens within the civilization, it must not affect the development of technology!"

"Second, to maintain a higher level of civilization, human civilization needs a large population, trillions of people!"

"Human energy is limited. Even if the size of the parliament continues to expand, what we can manage is limited."

"Do you understand what I mean?"

Hong Qiming swallowed lightly.

A thought vaguely emerged in his mind.

He probably knew what Councillor Li was talking about.

It was just that this guess was too shocking.

He was a little afraid to say it out loud for a moment.

Facing the gentle gaze of the old man, Hong Qiming slightly opened his lips and expressed his guess in a trembling voice.

The old man nodded with satisfaction.

"Not bad."

"In the next few days, I will hold a human union meeting."

"In order to adapt to the universe, human civilization needs to change."

...

Carbon Nanoparticle Laboratory.

"Professor."

Zero's voice sounded in the loudspeaker next to Lu Yongchang: "The calculation results are out."

"I'm sorry, I can't get an accurate answer."

"But I got an approximate range."

"In this range, there is a 96.9% probability that the carbon nanotubes you want exist."

Lu Yongchang's expression suddenly lifted.

Enough!

One range is much better than before!

At least, the experiment has a real limit!

He turned around and turned on the computer next to him.

"Zero, pass the calculation results to me!"

The computer screen changed quietly, and a large string of dense data appeared on the screen.

While Lu Yongchang looked at the data on the screen carefully, he shouted loudly: "Wei Rong! Here comes the work!"

…

A week later.

"...I already know the news about the People's League. Next, I will give you the latest news about the People's League."

On the TV screen, the host Bingbing said with a light smile on her lips.

"Based on the results of the first session of the People's Federation Council, in order to adapt to the upcoming interstellar life, the People's Federation will undergo a major restructuring."

"The work content of the parliament has been reduced and it is only responsible for internal matters of human civilization."

"At the same time, the People's Federation of Science and Technology Academy was established. The Academy of Sciences is responsible for the external affairs of civilization and is fully responsible for the direction of civilization development."

"The Academy of Sciences and the Parliament are in an equal relationship..."

"At the meeting, Councilor Li recommended Lu Yongchang to be the chief scientist of the Academy of Sciences, and he was unanimously approved!"

"..."

…

At this moment, Lu Yongchang, who was staying in the laboratory, naturally had no idea what was happening outside.

In his eyes, only the slender carbon nanotube in front of him remained.

"It's really terrible..." Wei Rong's voice came from the side, "It's not me who said it, our luck is too bad."

"A range has been given, and we have done all the possibilities within this range."

Hearing this, Lu Yongchang had a wry smile on his face.

That's right, what was in front of him at this time was the last one among the thousands of sample intervals.
