Age of Cataclysm: I can light up the technology tree

A few hours later.

The hour hand of the holographic clock on the wall pointed to the number 3.

As the night deepened, there were fewer and fewer researchers in the laboratory.

Lv Yongchang stood motionless in front of the huge holographic projection, staring at the black mass in the center of the screen.

Facing the various and endless observation and detection methods of humans, it remained unmoved.

During the past few hours of detection, it just quietly floated in the core area of ​​the restraint device, silently "watching" the meaningless actions of the group of "ants" around it.

"So arrogant..."

Lv Yongchang's lips moved slightly, muttering to himself.

Yes, it was arrogant.

This arrogant sentence not only refers to the black mass in the core area, but also to the seventh-level dimensional creature who called himself [Painting]!

It disdains to make any disguise in the restraint device, and just exposes the core area to humans in broad daylight.

It's as if it has determined that humans cannot and dare not dismantle this device!

In fact,

It is indeed right.

Human civilization, as expected, could not, let alone dare to dismantle this unknown restraint device.

Even the surrounding gravitational shield could not be broken!

Lv Yongchang bit his back teeth hard, and a feeling of frustration slowly emerged from the depths of his heart.

Human civilization is still too weak.

"Yongchang, take a rest first."

Fang Xu's voice sounded in the quiet laboratory: "It will take a long time to get the test results of the gravitational shield."

Lv Yongchang nodded and stared at the holographic projection again for a while.

Then, he sighed lightly and turned to walk towards the laboratory door.

With the departure of Lv Yongchang and Fang Xu, the originally empty laboratory became more and more deserted.

Gradually, the lights in the laboratory went out one by one, leaving only the giant holographic projection and some experimental equipment.

...

Near the ice giant.

In the small starship surrounded by dozens of asteroid-class [Golden Crow] battleships, robots continued their work conscientiously under the control of Zero.

Suddenly.

Something strange happened.

In the core area of ​​the restraint device, the originally calm black matter began to churn.

This scene quickly attracted Zero's attention.

Almost at the same time, a piercing alarm sounded in the Academy of Sciences.

...

Lv Yongchang lay on the bed and slowly closed his eyes.

He was ready to go to the technology tree space again.

Perhaps, with the help of the "overclocking" ability brought by the technology tree space, he could capture some inspiration about gravity and dark matter.

His consciousness moved slightly.

When he came back to his senses again, he was in front of the familiar fluorescent green space.

As usual, the fluorescent green space was extremely quiet, and the technology tree outlined by bright white lines slowly emerged in front of him.

The technology tree had sparse branches and leaves, and a thick mist covered the top, obscuring Lv Yongchang's sight.

"Beep! Beep! Beep!"

The piercing alarm sounded from an infinite distance, and the sound gradually became louder, forcibly pulling him out of the technology tree space.

Lv Yongchang suddenly opened his eyes.

The dark room was as bright as day, and a holographic projection with red light appeared at the head of the bed.

"Professor, the restraint device has an abnormality."

Accompanied by Zero's electronic synthesized sound, the real-time observation image quickly appeared in the holographic projection.

Seeing the black substance with a constantly fluctuating surface and emitting a dangerous aura everywhere, Lv Yongchang's confused expression instantly disappeared.

He turned over from the bed and put on the clothes hanging on the head of the bed.

"Zero, notify everyone to gather at the first laboratory immediately!"

...

The first laboratory.

Before Lv Yongchang entered the laboratory, he heard Fang Xu's stern questioning.

"Is there a problem with the restraint device?" Fang Xu asked with a sullen face, "Who was the last to leave the laboratory just now?"

"Fang, Academician Fang, it's me." A researcher said anxiously, "When I left, there was no abnormality in the restraint device!"

"You can check the operation record, we all follow the process."

Fang Xu's voice did not continue to come, obviously, he was checking the operation record.

Lv Yongchang stepped forward, and the slightly open laboratory door quickly opened.

"Yongchang?"

Hearing the unusual sound of the door, Fang Xu, who was checking the operation record, quickly turned around and greeted Lv Yongchang, and then reported in a hurried tone: "According to the operation record, it should not be an abnormality caused by human factors."

Lv Yongchang nodded lightly, quickly rushed to the holographic projection, and looked up to check the real-time parameters on the screen.

"There is no abnormality in the gravitational shield."

"There is no abnormality in the output power of the fusion reactor."

Just one glance, Lv Yongchang frowned: "Even the strong magnetic field has no problem..."

From various data, the current restraint device is no different from a few hours ago.

But to the naked eye, it is obviously not the case.

Suddenly.

Under the gaze of everyone, the black matter returned to calm again.

Before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, the strange phenomenon reappeared.

A thin gray line slowly stretched out from the black matter.

It is not appropriate to say that it is a thin line.

Observed with the naked eye, it is more like a piece of paper with a very small width.

It is long and wide, but not high.

Looking at this "familiar" picture, Lv Yongchang felt a chill on his back.

His scalp was numb, and he blurted out: "【画】?!"

"Isn't it dead?!" Fang Xu's horrified voice sounded at the same time!

Under the gaze of everyone, the gray strip extended rapidly.

"Abnormal fluctuations in the gravitational shield were detected."

Accompanied by the sound of electronic synthesis, the gray "paper strip" easily "penetrated" the extremely strong gravitational shield, like a drop of water, quietly dripping on the deck of the small starship!

The moment the "paper strip" fell, it directly covered the white deck!

The gray color expanded rapidly!

In just a moment, the originally white interior of the starship was already covered in gray!

Through the camera, it can be clearly seen that this gray color quickly spread to the surface of the robot with the starship deck as a springboard.

All the processes were completed almost in an instant.

Not to mention Lv Yongchang, even Zero didn't react!

"Warning!"

"The experimental II robot control permission has been lost!"

"Warning!"

"The starship control permission has been lost!"

"Warning..."

A string of bright red warnings jumped out in the holographic screen.

The bright red light shone directly on everyone's faces, making their expressions even more gray.

Lv Yongchang's Adam's apple moved slightly, and he opened his mouth, but did not say anything.

Something happened!

Only these three big words appeared in his mind.

"Trying to cut off the connection path..."

A slightly stiff electronic synthesized voice sounded in the laboratory, awakening everyone present.

"Warning! Failed to cut off!"

The cold electronic synthesized voice was like a sledgehammer, hitting everyone's heart hard.
