Age of Cataclysm: I can light up the technology tree

"Of course."

Zhu Ziwen waved his hand and closed the holographic image in the conference room.

"But, you are an academician, what if..." Xia Zhou suddenly became anxious, "You also said that the creatures on this Lost Star are very threatening, you are not..."

"Looking for death?" Zhu Ziwen laughed and patted Xia Zhou on the shoulder.

"Do you know who developed the second-generation exoskeleton armor?"

Xia Zhou's eyes moved slightly, as if he realized something, but he didn't say anything.

"I led the team to develop it!" Zhu Ziwen said proudly, "Do you know how much user feedback data I collected for it?"

Xia Zhou's mouth twitched slightly.

You call this user feedback data?

"These feedback data... Although the quantity is large, there are not many useful ones."

Speaking of this, Zhu Ziwen shook his head with some regret: "Plus, I haven't seen a real battlefield, so there will always be some flaws in the design."

"In order to perfect the design drawings of the next generation of exoskeleton armor, I need accurate battlefield data."

Looking at Zhu Ziwen's unusually energetic eyes, Xia Zhou sighed with a headache.

"Academician Zhu..."

"Has Professor Lu agreed to this?"

Hearing this, the smile on Zhu Ziwen's face gradually became stronger.

"Of course I agreed."

Xia Zhou: "???"

He looked at Zhu Ziwen, who was a little excited, with a numb face.

Are there really normal people here?

He took a deep breath and said with an extremely serious look.

"Academician Zhu."

"Landing on an alien planet is not as easy as you think."

"If you insist on participating in the landing plan, I hope you can obey our arrangements at that time."

"Otherwise, I may not be able to guarantee your safety."

The excited smile on Zhu Ziwen's face gradually disappeared.

He stared into Xia Zhou's eyes and nodded seriously.

"Captain Xia, don't worry."

...

One week later.

As the engineering ship unfolded, the second-generation exoskeleton armor soon came out of the blueprint.

The planetary explorers who had been undergoing recovery training in the gravity cabin for a week also received a notice from Zero.

The second landing operation on the Lost Star is about to begin!

…

The port hatch of the Earth slowly opened.

One after another, Xuannv II ships loaded with supplies came out of it.

At the same time, the hatch of the ship-borne drone on the other side of the Earth also opened.

The densely packed ship-borne drones whizzed past the Earth like locusts and flew to the Lost Star first.

According to the landing plan, these ship-borne drones will clear a wide enough landing platform for Xuannv II in the target area.

In one of the Xuannv II ships.

Zhu Ziwen was tightly wrapped in a two-meter-high second-generation mechanical exoskeleton.

Rather than saying it is a mechanical exoskeleton, it is better to say that it has already had some prototypes of individual mechas.

And this is exactly Zhu Ziwen's research direction on the third-generation mechanical exoskeleton.

Zhu Ziwen turned his head curiously, and the head of the mechanical exoskeleton also turned.

The picture sent back by the camera was displayed in real time in the miniature holographic projection in front of him.

The data assistance provided by Zero was also presented in the picture just right.

The consciousness moved slightly, and the palm of the mechanical exoskeleton also made a fist.

Looking at the shiny shell, Zhu Ziwen felt a sense of power.

Suddenly, Xia Zhou's video communication screen appeared on the side of Zhu Ziwen.

Perhaps because it involved his own work, Xia Zhou's face was extremely serious.

Looking at Xia Zhou's expression, Zhu Ziwen subconsciously loosened his clenched fist.

"Academician Zhu, I remind you again."

"Once you land on the Lost Star, you must unconditionally obey our arrangements."

"Otherwise, I have the permission to remotely control and shut down your exoskeleton armor."

Zhu Ziwen's face fell, and he nodded helplessly and said: "Okay... You are the captain, you have the final say."

Xia Zhou chuckled, and his tone slowed down a little.

"Academician Zhu, this is an order issued by Professor Lu himself."

"For your safety, you will be wronged."

Hearing that it was Lu Yongchang who issued the order, the remaining awkwardness on Zhu Ziwen's face instantly dissipated.

He smiled bitterly and nodded: "Don't worry, Captain Xia, I won't cause any trouble for you."

As soon as the voice fell.

A slight recoil came, pressing his body against the lining of the exoskeleton armor.

Xuannv No. 2 set off!

...

The voyage was not long.

It only took a few hours for Zhu Ziwen to see the extremely lucky planet from the porthole on the side.

He stared at the planet silently, and after a long silence, he sighed silently.

"Bang, bang bang..."

The slight sound of the exoskeleton armor shells colliding with each other attracted his attention.

He raised his head and looked in the direction of the sound.

I saw that the exoskeleton armor next to him was raising his hand and greeting him.

The next second, a big face full of smiles appeared in the miniature holographic projection in front of him.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?"

"It seems that you are not very happy?"

Zhu Ziwen: "...???"

Who is this person?

“Bang!”

A crisp sound came from beside him.

The next moment, Xia Zhou's scolding sounded: "Su Dazi, I said you are a idiot and you are really a idiot!"

"Go away, don't join in the fun!"

After saying that, Xia Zhou smiled at Zhu Ziwen embarrassedly: "Academician Zhu, I'm sorry."

"I didn't manage the team members well..."

Zhu Ziwen glanced at Su Pengfei, who was full of grievances, and understood a little.

He smiled and waved his hand: "Huh!"

"What's the matter, don't call me Academician Zhu, just call me by my name."

Hearing this, Su Pengfei's eyes lit up.

"Hey, buddy, I know you are easy to get along with!"

Unlike Su Pengfei, Xia Zhou only felt a blackness in front of his eyes.

What a sin!

Zhu Ziwen didn't care much, and chatted with Su Pengfei happily.

"Didn't you just ask me why I'm unhappy?"

"Have you seen this planet?"

"What a good habitable planet, but unfortunately... it's going to die soon."

Xia Zhou was stunned, unable to suppress his curiosity, and asked softly: "Why do you say that?"

"It is lucky, but also unfortunate." Zhu Ziwen looked at the Lost Star through the porthole and explained in a low voice.

"Its main star was captured by a black hole, but it was lucky enough to survive outside the black hole's accretion disk and not be swallowed by the black hole, and it can use the light and heat generated by the accretion disk to maintain life on the surface."

"Unfortunately... over time, the accretion disk will gradually disappear."

"By then, this planet will become a dead star without an energy source."
