Age of Cataclysm: I can light up the technology tree

Since the departure of the human fleet, the Gliese 555 star system has returned to its original tranquility.

Only the warship wreckages floating around in the star system, as well as the various artificial facilities on Dawn and Lumina, prove to this universe what happened in the past.

The periphery of the Gliese 555 star system.

The stellar wind from the main star Gliese 555 slowly drifted by. After a long journey, it was exhausted. Finally, it formed a clever balance with the interstellar medium in this intersection zone.

This is the edge of the Gliese 555 star system.

The stellar wind and the interstellar medium interacted with each other, forming a bow shock wave - the hydrogen wall - in the direction of the star system's movement around the Milky Way.

In the hydrogen wall, the particles move at a very high speed, so from a microscopic point of view, it has an extremely high temperature.

But because it is very thin, so thin that there are only single-digit particles per unit area, and the extremely long distance between it and the main star, it is very "cold" from a macroscopic point of view.

Outside this hot and "cold" hydrogen wall is the empty interstellar space.

Ordinary civilizations cannot detect the existence of dark matter, and even if they do, it is difficult to use it.

Therefore, interstellar space filled with dark matter has always been stable.

On this day, the usually stable interstellar space, like a crumpled piece of paper, showed ripples.

These ripples gradually converged and eventually formed a sphere without a substance.

Wormhole.

Like a black hole, there is an extremely powerful gravitational lens effect around the wormhole.

But it is completely different from a black hole.

No matter which direction you observe from, you can see fine and dense light spots appearing on the surface of the wormhole.

That is starlight.

Starlight at an infinite distance.

The next moment.

Accompanied by a slight distortion, three spherical battleships emerged from the wormhole and suddenly appeared in this desolate interstellar space.

After a short stop, the three spherical battleships flew straight to the Gliese 555 star system not far away like ghosts.

…

“Sir, a communication request from the 3TCS0O26B4 (Gliese 555) star system has been detected.”

In the extremely smooth planetary fortress in the central black hole region of the Milky Way, an extremely obscure voice was heard.

“3TCS0O26B4 star system?”

Sweeper 9527 showed some doubts in his eyes, but as the external memory storage device was running, it quickly remembered this matter.

“Did they find human civilization?”

Soon, a subordinate responded from the side: “No, they only found the remains of human civilization.”

As the voice fell, a light curtain appeared in front of Sweeper 9527.

In the light curtain, there was a planet with most of the area showing azure blue.

A satellite with artificial facilities on its surface was slowly rotating around the planet.

Sweeper 9527 did not pay too much attention to the azure planet.

Its just a planet, and the most abundant thing in the universe is planets.

Its eyes stayed on the small satellite.

In its opinion, the facilities on the surface of this satellite are very simple, and the internal space is not well utilized...

Although there are countless defects, it still has the prototype of a planetary fortress.

Sweeper 9527 slightly raised his evaluation of human civilization.

Although human civilization is just a large bug that has not mastered the grand unified theory, the ability to complete such a huge project undoubtedly proves their potential!

"At the same time, the α battleship discovered the wreckage of the battleship of the Botha civilization around the planet." As the voice of the subordinate came, the light curtain quickly split into two, and the other half of the light curtain showed various battleship wreckage distributed in the Gliese 555 star system.

"It seems that the Botha civilization didn't get any benefits."

Sweeper 9527 showed some dissatisfaction in his eyes: "What a waste."

"A civilization that has mastered the grand unified theory can't even delay time."

The subordinate raised his tentacles and scratched his head gently: "Sir, after all, it is just a subsidiary civilization, it is normal to be weak."

"At least, they destroyed all the valuable devices in the warship in advance."

Hearing this, the anger on Sweeper 9527's face eased a little.

"Sir, what should we do now?" The subordinate's voice continued to come.

"Continue to look for traces of human civilization in the surrounding area?"

"They haven't mastered the curvature navigation technology yet, and they can't escape far."

Sweeper 9527 pondered for a moment, and when he was about to nod in agreement, a sharp alarm interrupted his thoughts.

"Sir!"

"An abnormal fluctuation point was found in the galaxy bridge area!"

A hurried voice came: "Preliminary judgment is that it is a wormhole created by the Pastoral Sect [time]."

The face of Sweeper 9527 suddenly became solemn.

"The judgment of the mother civilization is not wrong!"

"The Pastoral Sect, as expected, is here!"

"Human civilization successfully escaped... The Pastoral Sect just arrived in the Milky Way..."

Sweeper 9527 waved his tentacles unconsciously, and the expression on his face became more and more tangled.

"Is this a coincidence, or..."

Thinking of the detector destroyed in the two-dimensional attack, Sweeper 9527 felt more and more uneasy.

It pondered for a moment and used a tentacle to pull the light curtain next to it.

This matter is too serious, it needs to ask the mother civilization.

After a short wait, the communication was successfully established.

"..."

"But, between human civilization and the Pastoral School..." Sweeper 9527 said anxiously.

An extremely arrogant voice sounded in the cabin: "9527, you are too timid."

"This is why you were sent to this remote area of ​​the Milky Way!"

"It's just a small fourth-level civilization, and it doesn't even have a grand unified theory. How big a storm can it cause?"

"Remember, your most important task now is to deal with the Pastoral School civilization that is about to arrive in the Milky Way!"

"Don't let me down!"

The light curtain dissipated.

The six tentacles of Sweeper 9527 slowly dropped, and it said in a dull voice: "Tell the three α battleships to go to the galaxy bridge area immediately."

"Start the wormhole jump engine, it's time for us to set off."

"...Commander?"

The subordinate said hesitantly: "Do we need to leave an α battleship to search the surrounding area?"

A hint of desire flashed in Sweeper 9527's eyes, but when he thought of the scolding words of the mother civilization just now, he was instantly discouraged and said: "Forget it, listen to the arrangements of the mother civilization."

"The mother civilization is right, the pastoral civilization is the one we should pay attention to."

"If human civilization is really a pawn of the pastoral civilization, we only need to keep an eye on the pastoral civilization." Sweeper 9527 comforted himself.
