Age of Cataclysm: I can light up the technology tree

What the chairman said was right.

After sending 3.8 billion people away, the burden on him was not only not lightened, but even heavier!

Letting 3.8 billion humans enter hibernation and flee to the Kuiper Belt seems to have preserved the fire of human civilization, but in fact, it only postponed the crisis for fifty years.

If humans do not develop enough technology for interstellar navigation within fifty years, then humans will still face the extremely bleak result.

By then, a full 3.8 billion humans will die in sleep.

In Lv Yongchang's view, such a result is even more unacceptable to him than in his previous life.

…

After the chairman left, Lv Yongchang sat behind his desk with a solemn expression.

He silently thought about the next countermeasures.

According to the original plan, at this moment, he should announce the launch of the Mars City project.

After the design drawings of the Mars City have been verified many times, he only needs to wait for a certain period of time, and a giant urban cluster that can accommodate 500 million people will appear on Mars.

But…

This waiting time may be a bit long.

According to Zero's calculations, if the construction plan of the Moon Palace Project is followed and one or several weak artificial intelligences are used to build it, the construction period will be extended to about three years.

This is obviously unrealistic.

In about a year, the sun will begin to enter the red giant process.

By then, the surface of the earth will become a purgatory. At least, ordinary life will not be able to live on the surface.

There are two solutions, but at present, both solutions have disadvantages to varying degrees.

The first is to continue the practice of the previous life.

Build an underground city and wait quietly underground.

After the construction of the Mars City is completed, go to Mars via the space elevator and the Luanniao I starship.

This plan seems good, but it hides countless disadvantages.

First, although large-scale construction projects such as the space elevator and the escape plan have been completed, Zero's computing power has a lot of free time.

But at this moment, there are more other projects weighing on it.

In addition to various scientific research tasks, there are also tasks such as collecting earth mineral resources, building robots to expand productivity, and continuing to build Luanniao series starships...

Even if it is zero, it is impossible to build an underground city that can accommodate hundreds of millions of people in just a few months while taking into account other projects.

Second, once you choose to enter the underground city, the scope of human activities will be greatly restricted, and a series of future plans will be affected to varying degrees.

Under such urgent pressure, Lu Yongchang naturally cannot choose this plan that may slow down future development.

As for the second plan... it is naturally to live directly in the spaceport.

Even if the sun begins the red giant process, the spaceport made of high-strength alloy can still withstand the high temperature brought by the sun for a short time.

At least, within three to five years, the spaceport will not be scrapped due to temperature problems.

And the disadvantages of this plan are even more obvious.

The current spaceport does not have a structure to generate artificial gravity.

Even artificial gravity generated by spin is not available.

This also leads to a more serious consequence.

Many scientific research projects cannot be studied in the spaceport.

In summary, Lv Yongchang had put these two short-term solutions out of his mind from the beginning.

He took a long breath, leaned back on the back of his office chair, and closed his eyes.

His consciousness entered the familiar technology tree space again.

After the starship manufacturing technology was unlocked, although there were still many dim areas around the technology tree, at least the main trunk of the first-level civilization technology tree had appeared in front of him.

Looking at the dim quantum long-distance communication technology at the top, Lv Yongchang's eyes flashed with a trace of entanglement.

Although he has mastered all the quantum communication technologies currently mastered by humans in the past year, looking at the quantum communication technology that symbolizes the peak technology of the first-level civilization, he still has some fear in his eyes.

The last "brain-burning" scene is still vivid.

However, human civilization has reached this point, and the demand for quantum long-distance communication technology has reached its peak.

It is no exaggeration to say that without long-distance communication, the development speed of human civilization will drop by several levels!

After a few minutes of hesitation, a flash of determination flashed in his eyes.

Let's go for it.

He didn't believe that this time would have the same result as last time.

At worst, just lie in bed for a few days and it would be over!

After thinking it through, he quickly focused his attention on the extremely dim icon at the top of the technology tree.

After a short wait, the familiar dizziness and burning sensation surged into his brain.

The dizziness became stronger and stronger.

The familiar black scene in front of his eyes came again.

Zhuo...

Lu Yongchang couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

I'm going to faint again.

Is this damn quantum long-distance communication so difficult?

Thinking of Su Yutong in the office, Lu Yongchang sighed silently in his heart.

I guess this time, she will be scared again...

In a short moment, countless thoughts flashed through Lu Yongchang's mind.

But at the moment when the dizziness reached its peak, a touch of ecstasy rose in his heart!

The long-lost prompt finally appeared in his conscious mind!

[Photon]

Feeling the countless inspirations bursting out of his mind, Lv Yongchang fell into a coma with a satisfied smile on his face.

…

"Beep! Beep! Beep!"

The familiar sound of the buzzer and the familiar smell of disinfectant.

Lv Yongchang struggled to open his eyes.

Looking at the surroundings, he smiled bitterly again.

The sound of the door opening came.

"Professor Lu, this is the second time you have been in a coma."

Looking at the familiar face, Lv Yongchang frowned slightly: "Are you... Doctor Wen?"

Dr. Wen in a white coat was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded: "Yes, it's me."

"I didn't expect Professor Lu to have such a good memory. It seems that this coma didn't cause much damage to your brain."

The corners of Lv Yongchang's mouth twitched.

What does this mean?

He took a deep breath and shook his somewhat sluggish head gently: "Doctor Wen, how long have I been in a coma this time?"

Doctor Wen smiled and handed a medical report to Lv Yongchang: "Not much, only 24 hours, compared with the last time, there is a great improvement."

Lv Yongchang: "..."

He always felt that this doctor Wen was targeting him, but he could not find sufficient evidence.

"Take a look, this is your medical report."

Lv Yongchang's eyes moved and he looked down at the document in front of him.

"According to the examination, your brain activity is higher than last time." Doctor Wen said in a light tone, "Although I don't know how you did it, this is undoubtedly a good thing for you and for mankind."
