Age of Cataclysm: I can light up the technology tree

The central black hole region of the Milky Way.

The artificial planetary fortress was hovering in the empty universe as usual.

Inside the planetary fortress, the atmosphere was very solemn.

Sweeper 9527 sat up straight, staring at the information on the light screen.

"Is [Hua] dead?"

"Human civilization..."

It couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

If [Hua] is dead, what should be done with the tasks assigned by the mother civilization?

"Sir, the comparison results are out." The voice of the subordinate came from the side.

"Speak." Sweeper 9527's expression did not fluctuate at all, and he asked directly, "What are the results?"

"The similarity is over 99%!"

There was a hint of excitement in the subordinate's voice: "It can be basically confirmed that this human civilization is the low-level civilization in the KZQXD771 star system (Ross 154)!"

The tentacles of Sweeper 9527 swept across the light screen.

After confirming it again and again, it slowly said: "The coordinate information is already available, send a warship."

Speaking of this, Sweeper 9527's voice paused slightly: "If you can find the 'corpse' of [Painting], bring it back."

"Even if it is a two-dimensional fragment."

"As long as there is a research sample, the mother civilization can speed up the research progress a lot."

"Okay." The subordinate nodded, turned around and prepared to give orders.

A brand new light curtain automatically popped up next to Sweeper 9527.

It glanced subconsciously.

"Wait!"

"No need for a warship." Sweeper 9527 hurriedly interrupted his subordinate's actions, "I remember that the detector No. 912133165 is in that area, just let it go."

"Sir, is it just one detector?" The subordinate was stunned and stopped the action in his hand.

Sweeper 9527 shook his head slowly: "There is no need to send warships."

"Although the information does not clearly indicate the technological level of human civilization, more than two hundred years ago, they were just a small second-level civilization."

"Now... at most it is a third-level civilization."

While speaking, its eyes stayed on the light screen beside it: "What's more, the mother civilization has sent a message."

"The priority of the original task has been lowered, and we need to prepare for the war that may happen next."

"War?" A trace of doubt flashed in the eyes of the subordinates, "Isn't [Hua] dead? Why is there still a war?"

Sweeper 9527 glanced at the subordinates next to him and explained softly.

"The distress message sent by [Hua] will inevitably attract the rest of the Pastoral Faction members."

"It won't be long before the Milky Way will be in chaos."

"Each battleship is an important resource. The Orion Arm is too far away from us. The battleship will consume a lot of time and energy in a round trip."

"It's a waste."

...

Gliese 555 star system

The appearance of [Painting] disrupted Lv Yongchang's original series of development plans.

Lv Yongchang sat in the office, staring at the text in the holographic projection.

Suddenly, he sighed softly and looked at He Bilin who was sitting at his desk with a bitter face.

"Academician He, are there any suitable planets within 50 light years nearby?"

He Bilin did not answer Lv Yongchang's question, but asked back: "Professor, do you have to leave Dawn Star?"

As he said, he turned his head and looked at the window beside him.

Outside the window, the sun was shining brightly.

The light from the main star Gliese 555 shone through the gaps between the leaves and shone on the office window.

The breeze blew, and the leaves swayed slowly.

After the environmental transformation was completed, Dawn Star had become a planet extremely suitable for human habitation.

Thinking that humans would leave this beautiful planet in the near future, He Bilin felt a pang of heartache.

At this moment, he suddenly deeply understood the obsession of the older generation of humans with the earth.

"We have to leave."

Lv Yongchang was silent for a moment, stood up from the chair, walked slowly to the window, looked up at the blue-purple sky: "Humanity, I'm afraid there won't be many peaceful days."

In the sky, in addition to the main star of Gliese 555, which emits endless light and heat, there is also a huge "moon".

Around the "moon", you can even see starships and equipment as small as sesame seeds.

"You also saw the information left by [Painting] at the beginning." Lu Yongchang lowered his head and retracted his gaze.

"If nothing unexpected happens, it has sent information to Tianyuan."

"The information transmitted may not be complete, but we can't afford to gamble."

"In the face of the possible arrival of advanced civilizations, we can only escape from our current planet as soon as possible."

Hearing this, the look on He Bilin's face suddenly dimmed a lot.

He sighed softly, then shook his head and said: "Professor, we haven't started the exploration of the surrounding star systems yet."

"You also know that the focus of the Human Union during this period is not on finding habitable planets."

Lv Yongchang's face changed slightly.

He Bilin was right.

After arriving at Dawn Star, the focus of the Academy of Sciences has been on transforming Dawn Star and developing technology, and they have not explored exoplanets.

"But..."

He Bilin pondered for a moment, then stretched out his hand to open a new holographic image: "There are a few alternative destinations."

"Gliese 19, HIP545 and Gliese 8496."

"These three systems are within 50 light years of us."

"Based on previous observation data, there is a high possibility that there are Earth-like planets in these three systems."

"Of course, there is only a certain possibility, and it cannot be confirmed."

Looking at the holographic star map in front of him, Lv Yongchang fell into deep thought.

Gliese 19, 31.05 light years away!

HIP545, 43.37 light years away!

Gliese 8496, 46.34 light years away!

This is only the straight-line distance between them and the Gliese 555 system!

You know, these planets are not in a straight line!

If you really want to search one by one, the actual distance will be far beyond expectations!

"Continue to observe." Lv Yongchang slowly closed his eyes and sighed, "Pick the most likely star system as the destination."

"...Okay."

He Bilin was silent for a while, and nodded hard.

"Maybe..."

Lv Yongchang slightly opened his eyes and looked at He Bilin in front of him with a sad face.

"Humanity is going to become a wandering civilization."

He Bilin's heart trembled suddenly. He didn't say anything, but clenched his fists tightly.
