Age of Cataclysm: I can light up the technology tree

"Academician Mao..."

Lu Yongchang stared blankly at the picture inside the transparent aluminum curtain wall and murmured to himself: "Have you already tamed this giant tree?"

"Cough cough cough..."

When Mao Zhengzhi heard this, he couldn't catch his breath and coughed suddenly: "Professor, why do you think of doing this?"

"Huh?" Lu Yongchang turned his head in confusion, "What else?"

"Have you forgotten what happened to the expedition team when they landed on the Forgotten Star?"

Mao Zhengzhi waved his hands in confusion: "Professor, times have changed."

"Although it has only been five years, in these five years we have sent many detectors to the Forgotten Star to perform various scientific research missions."

"The current Forsaken Star may be slightly different from what you imagined..."

Lu Yongchang: "???"

Before he could speak, Mao Zhengzhi had already opened a holographic image.

What is played in the projection is the perspective of a detector.

As the video accelerated, it quickly entered the atmosphere of the Forgotten Star and hovered high in the sky of the Forgotten Star, as if waiting for something.

Over time, the forest directly below the detector gradually adjusts the orientation of its leaves and canopy.

Eventually, a hole appeared in the lush forest that reached to the ground.

The opening is not big, but enough for the detector to pass through.

"This..." Lu Yongchang's pupils dilated slightly and he looked at the projected picture with shock on his face, "What happened in the past five years?!"

"Professor, calm down and continue reading." Mao Zhengzhi chuckled and reminded in a low voice.

It can be easily seen from the changes in the projection screen that the detector is slowly falling.

It smoothly passed through the small opening formed by the leaves and crown of the tree, and fell towards the ground.

On the ground, a small circular area appeared.

It's like a tarmac in the age of Earth.

Around this circular "tarmac", thick tree roots are intertwined to form a "fence" several meters high.

To Lu Yongchang's surprise, these tree roots did not attack the landing detector, and even retreated slightly to avoid the flow of high-temperature particles ejected from the engine mouth.

Under the watchful eye of Lu Yongchang, the probe successfully landed on the "apron".

The hatch slowly opened, and scientific research robots filed out in neat formations, holding small gamma ray guns in their hands.

They all raised their hands and pointed their small gamma ray guns at the surrounding tree root fence.

start up.

Under the irradiation of gamma rays, these tree roots twist their bodies with "pleasure".

Looking at the scene in front of him, Lu Yongchang looked like he had seen a ghost.

Who knows how he could see the joyful emotions from these thick tree roots!

He turned his head and glanced at Mao Zhengzhi. Seeing that he had no intention of explaining, he had to endure it and continue watching.

Time passed by minute by minute.

As the scientific research robot turned off the gamma ray gun, the tree roots that formed the fence slowly spread out and retracted underground again.

Before retracting underground, they even took the initiative to cut off a small section of tree roots and threw it in front of the scientific research robot!

This scene directly shocked Lu Yongchang's eyes.

He looked at Mao Zhengzhi beside him with a horrified look on his face, and moved his lips slightly, as if he wanted to ask him how he did it.

Mao Zhengzhi shrugged and still said nothing.

The holographic projection continues to play.

As soon as the tree roots spread, the radiation imaging detector sounded a piercing alarm.

The giant insects left behind were like sharks that smelled fishy smell, rushing towards the source of gamma ray radiation from all directions.

Lu Yongchang's expression changed slightly.

These lost giant insects without advanced intelligence are not as easy to talk to as giant trees!

Just as he was secretly worried in his heart, the picture on the projection shocked him again!

I saw a few tree roots emerging from the ground and waving roughly in the air a few times.

The atmosphere suddenly resounded with the screams from the lost giant insect.

Through the radiation imaging detector, Lu Yongchang could clearly see that the giant insects that were close to the scientific research robot were easily knocked away by the waving of tree roots.

The remaining giant insects, under the threat of the giant tree, retreated one after another, giving up enough territory for the scientific research robots.

…

The video is over.

Lu Yongchang took a deep breath and tried to maintain his usual calm: "What is going on?"

"Have you completed your first communication with the giant tree on the Forgotten Star?"

"No." Mao Zhengzhi shrugged, "All actions were done spontaneously by the giant tree."

"What we did was just send detectors and scientific research robots."

"What's going on with the small gamma ray gun?" Lu Yongchang asked in a deep voice.

"We found that both giant trees and giant insects have shown great interest in the gamma rays released by the antimatter engine, so..." Mao Zhengzhi pointed to the direction of the biological laboratory, "You can put the gamma rays The ray gun is understood as a feeding machine.”

"Like feeding kittens and puppies?"

Lu Yongchang said with a bewildered look on his face: "Only by relying on these, you can complete the communication with the giant tree on the Forgotten Star?"

Hearing this, Mao Zhengzhi blushed.

He coughed twice in embarrassment and said with a smile: "Of course it's more than that..."

"what else?"

"Um... two thousand high-yield hydrogen bombs, carried by two thousand ship-borne drones." Mao Zhengzhi said weakly, "Waiting on top of that ten-thousand-meter-tall tree."

Lv Yongchang: "..."

He took a deep breath and raised his hand to rub his brows.

The amount of information was a bit overwhelming, and he needed to take a break.

"In other words, you tamed this giant tree with a sweet date in one hand and a big stick in the other?"

"It's not considered taming..." Mao Zhengzhi's confidence was obviously a little lacking, "I think it should be a cooperative relationship."

Lv Yongchang: "..."

Is your cooperative relationship like this? !

"Okay, okay, let's just treat it as a cooperative relationship."

Lv Yongchang felt a headache. He never thought that after he and a group of academicians "closed themselves" to study black hole data for five years, the biological laboratory would bring him such a big "surprise"!

"What were we talking about just now..."

"Yes, that's right!"

Lv Yongchang turned around suddenly and looked in the direction of the transparent aluminum curtain wall: "What's the situation with this giant tree?"

"Why does it also master these... cough, these skills?"

"Did you tame it like this?"

"No!" Meng Lu was the first to deny.

Mao Zhengzhi also nodded repeatedly and said: "Professor, don't worry, we definitely did not perform any taming behavior on this giant tree."

"Then..."

Looking at the tree roots and scientific research robots coexisting peacefully, Lv Yongchang suddenly widened his eyes, and an amazing guess slowly emerged from his heart.

"Is there any connection between it and the giant tree of the Lost Star?!"
