Age of Cataclysm: I can light up the technology tree

"Everyone."

"This is the target planet of this landing exploration plan - the lost star located on the periphery of the black hole's accretion disk."

Zhu Ziwen's voice echoed in conference room No. 6.

As the holographic projection of the Forgotten Star slowly appeared in front of everyone, a gasp sounded in the conference room.

"hiss……"

Xia Zhou looked shocked, took a breath, lowered his voice and said to Su Pengfei beside him: "Damn... there are planets in such a ghost place!"

"And..." He looked at the basic data of the Forgotten Star that kept appearing on the side of the projection, and swallowed hard, "This Forgotten Star is an authentic livable planet!"

"Good boy, what a great place!"

As he spoke, a touch of excitement emerged from his eyes.

Since becoming a planetary explorer, he has never landed on such a vibrant alien planet!

"Brother Zhou, how are you? Am I right?"

Su Pengfei obviously didn't listen to what Xia Zhou said, he said proudly.

Xia Zhou was stunned by Su Pengfei's sudden request for credit.

"What?"

"What did you say?"

Su Pengfei looked at Xia Zhou with disdain.

"How did I say that?"

"Given the choice, the Academy of Sciences will definitely not make a decision that would make people die in vain!"

Xia Zhou: "..."

Are you okay?

Due to the occasion, he glared at Su Pengfei fiercely and cursed in a low voice: "Shut up, you idiot!"

Su Pengfei: "..."

"Ahem!"

Zhu Ziwen seemed to be aware of the whispers between the two, and coughed softly to remind: "The next information is more important, please focus on the exploration."

Xia Zhou nodded stiffly.

Got clicked.

It's all this idiot Su Pengfei's fault!

Thinking of this, he once again glared at Su Pengfei beside him.

The reward was naturally Su Pengfei's heartless pair of big teeth.

"In this landing operation, everyone needs to wear the newly developed second-generation exoskeleton armor."

"These are the basic information for the second-generation exoskeleton armor. You can take a look and ask any questions."

As Zhu Ziwen spoke, he lightly clicked twice on the holographic interface in front of him.

The next moment, a small holographic projection appeared in front of all the explorers.

"What the hell……"

After just one glance, Xia Zhou exclaimed in shock: "This is not an exoskeleton armor. This is just a small battleship!"

The next second, his face changed slightly, and he murmured in a low voice: "It seems that this planetary exploration operation is not simple..."

Seeing that no one raised any questions, Zhu Ziwen continued to introduce.

"...According to the information currently obtained, there may be many kinds of creatures on the Forsaken Star."

"A combination of factors contributed to the relatively large size of these creatures."

"One, the giant tree was left behind."

"The height is generally around 100 meters, but one of the giant trees reaches a height of 12,037 meters. The reason for this phenomenon is still unknown."

Hearing this, all the explorers had a look of surprise on their faces.

"Giant trees can absorb high-intensity radiation and use it as their own energy."

"Therefore, try not to use offensive weapons with high radiation..."

"Academician Zhu." A wasteland explorer raised his hand and interrupted Zhu Ziwen's words, "I don't understand why there are restrictions on the types of weapons because of these giant trees?"

"They're just trees."

Zhu Ziwen took a deep breath, and the expression on his face suddenly became serious: "Good question, this is what I want to say next."

"Based on the latest detection data, these giant trees are likely to have the ability to trap prey."

"Like pitcher plants and Venus flytraps."

There was a dead silence in the conference room, and all the wasteland explorers looked at Zhu Ziwen in front of them in stunned silence.

"So..." Xia Zhou said in a daze, "Once we land on this planet, our opponent may be the entire forest?"

Zhu Ziwen nodded very solemnly: "That's right."

"However, you can rest assured that there will be ship-borne drones following and protecting the entire landing process."

"Paired with the newly developed second-generation exoskeleton armor."

"Safety is still guaranteed."

"Academician Zhu, besides these giant carnivorous trees, are there any other dangers?" Xia Zhou asked.

"Of course." As he spoke, Zhu Ziwen clicked on the holographic projection beside him, and a huge biological model appeared in front of everyone.

"The Forgotten Giant Insect..." Zhu Ziwen shrugged, "This is the only kind of creature that has been found so far, so I called it that."

"Don't look at me, this is the name given by Professor Lu."

As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of knowing laughter in the conference room.

Obviously, everyone here is basically aware of Professor Lu's naming ability.

"Let's get down to business."

Zhu Ziwen brought the topic back: "The giant insect is five meters long."

"It has a stronger 'invisibility' ability than a chameleon, and it is likely to feed on highly radioactive materials."

"The specific appearance is unknown and may be somewhat different from the model."

"Unknown aggression, unknown intelligence."

"As for the purpose of this operation..."

"Conduct a comprehensive exploration of the Forgotten Star and obtain detailed information on various creatures, including the 12,037-meter-tall giant tree!"

"Then let's start assigning team tasks."

“…”

…

The meeting is over.

“Xia Zhou, your team will wait a moment.”

Just as Xia Zhou was about to pull his teammates out of the meeting room, Zhu Ziwen’s voice came from not far away.

“Academician Zhu?”

“Your team has another separate mission.” Zhu Ziwen said with a smile, “Protect my safety and provide the experience and data of the second-generation exoskeleton armor.”

Xia Zhou’s eyes widened slightly, and he exclaimed in surprise: “Zhu, Academician Zhu?”

“You mean…”

“You are also going to participate in this landing operation?!”

Xia Zhou’s exclamation immediately attracted the attention of the explorers who had not yet left the meeting room!

ps: It’s cracked…I’ve been coughing for a month, and I went to the hospital for a check-up this morning. It’s acute bronchitis…
