Age of Cataclysm: I can light up the technology tree

[Earth] Command Center.

Because they had just woken up from hibernation, everyone's face was slightly pale at this time.

"Zero, where are they?"

The situation was urgent, and Lv Yongchang asked directly without any nonsense.

The next second, a picture appeared in the holographic projection in front of him.

The content of the picture came from a detector set up outside the Gliese 555 star system.

Accompanied by the piercing alarm of the active detection device, the dark universe was flashing with light that was strong or weak.

This was the light from the enemy fleet.

The next moment, an interstellar flare was fired.

Under the strong light of the flare, an extremely large fleet slowly appeared from the dark deep space.

Looking at this oppressive picture, Lv Yongchang couldn't help but frown.

"So arrogant!" Fang Xu said what Lv Yongchang was thinking, "They didn't even turn off the active detection radar!"

Lv Yongchang nodded solemnly.

Indeed arrogant!

The behavior of the other fleet, to describe it in a more vivid way, is like shouting from a distance of 108,000 miles: "Brother! Wait for me! I'm coming to kill you!"

With the light of the flares, the complete image of the huge fleet appeared in front of everyone.

Every starship in the fleet is of a similar shape - an ellipsoid.

Of course, if you look closely, there are still some differences between these starships.

The closer the starship is to the periphery, the greater the flattening of the ellipsoid, and the closer the starship is to the central area, the smaller its flattening.

In simple terms, the starships in the periphery are flatter, while the starships in the central area are closer to a sphere.

The flagship in the most central area, like the probe of the Sweeper civilization, has almost become a standard sphere.

But it is obviously not comparable to the probe of the Sweeper civilization.

The surface of this starship is bumpy - various weapons and equipment are mounted on its surface.

In addition, at the tail of these ellipsoids, the light of the thrusters is flashing.

This gives people an extremely strong sense of disobedience.

"…Imitating others?"

Lv Yongchang frowned and whispered, "Why do I feel that the style of these starships is a bit like the detectors of the Sweeper civilization?"

"I feel the same way." Fang Xu nodded in agreement, "But the technological level of this civilization has obviously not reached that level yet."

"It feels a bit like copying others."

"Yes." Lv Yongchang carefully checked the data sent back by the detector, "Like us, they use antimatter engines."

"The detector detected a large amount of high-energy gamma rays."

"Zero, has the other party responded to our communication request?"

An electronic synthesized voice sounded: "No response yet."

As soon as Zero's voice fell, the picture in the holographic projection instantly dissipated, leaving only a few large words.

[Connection interrupted]

"Zero?" Lv Yongchang's face changed slightly and he shouted loudly.

Almost at the same time, Zero gave the answer: "Professor, the detector was attacked."

"The person who comes is not friendly!"

Lv Yongchang turned his head and looked at Zhao Zijie beside him.

Zhao Zijie understood instantly and gave an order in a deep voice.

"Attention, all units, prepare for battle!"

"Antimatter electromagnetic cannons, prepare for salvo fire!"

"3, 2, 1..."

More than 5,000 asteroid-class [Golden Crow] battleships, as well as the giant electromagnetic cannons on the surface of [Light Moon Planetary Fortress], raised their muzzles and aimed at the enemy fleet that was heading towards the Gliese 555 star system.

The electromagnetic cannons have been fully charged, and the blue arc is flashing at the muzzles.

With just one order, the powerful antimatter shells will kick off the war!

"Professor, the other side has sent a video communication request!"

The electronic synthesized sound interrupted Zhao Zijie's countdown.

"Pause the launch!" Zhao Zijie quickly took back the word "launch" that was already on his lips, "All units, stand by!"

After speaking, he turned his head and looked at Lu Yongchang who was sitting next to him: "Professor?"

"Video communication request?"

"What do they want to do?"

Lv Yongchang muttered to himself with a confused face.

This was the first time that human civilization received a video communication request from a different civilization.

He frowned slightly, staring at the holographic projection in front of him, and whispered softly: "It actually comes with detailed dictionary information..."

After thinking for a moment, he raised his head, closed his eyes slightly, and raised his hand to rub his eyebrows.

"Connect it."

It's useless to think too much, it's better to just see what the other party wants to do!

The moment the communication was connected, even though everyone had made sufficient psychological preparations, they were shocked by the scene in front of them and gasped!

"Fuck!"

Zhao Zijie on the side subconsciously leaned back and whispered as calmly as possible: "It's really f*cking terrifying!"

Zhao Zijie's whispered complaints attracted the approval of the people around him.

In the picture, there are "one by one" strange-shaped creatures.

To humans, they are like creatures built of thin bamboo poles.

"Stick insect?"

In a corner of the command center, Mao Zhengzhi looked at the "bamboo-shaped creature" that was shaking constantly on the screen, and said to himself with a look of doubt on his face.

Obviously, his voice was a little louder - at least, everyone in the command center heard his voice.

Looking at the strange creature in the holographic projection, whose movements were extremely intense and whose "mouthparts" kept wriggling, Lv Yongchang's mouth twitched slightly, and he whispered: "Zero, turn on the sound."

A harsh sound like nails scratching a blackboard came from the speaker!

"Fuck your brother!"

"Emotional damage!!"

Listening to the complaints in the command center, Lv Yongchang's mouth twitched again.

"Zero, turn down the sound."

The harsh sound quickly decreased, and at the same time, lines of subtitles translated by Zero in real time appeared in the holographic projection.

"Human civilization?"

"So ugly, how can there be such an ugly civilization?"

"Damn, their voices are so ugly!"

"Lord, is this the reason you want to punish them?!"

"Stick insect? What is a stick insect?"

"'Fuck'? What does this mean?"

"I don't know, it doesn't seem to be a good word..."

Looking at the messy subtitles, Lv Yongchang's eyes twitched violently.

This is...

"Ahem!"

Lv Yongchang cleared his throat and spoke in a deep voice.

"This is the Earth Human Common Destiny Community Fleet."

"You..."

Before he finished speaking, the "stick insect" standing in the center made a high-pitched and piercing sound!

The surrounding noise quickly disappeared, leaving only a series of extremely high-pitched sounds.

At the same time, that...

"straight" "large stick insect" quickly danced the two pairs of slender "forelimbs" in front of its chest.
