Age of Cataclysm: I can light up the technology tree

"..."

Inside Talodan's flagship, everything was quiet.

Aldan could even hear the sound of the villi rubbing against each other.

as well as……

A slight swallowing sound.

After a few seconds of silence, someone finally couldn't help it anymore.

"First, leader..."

There was a slight tremor in Maren's voice: "Let's, why don't we agree?"

"Antimatter engine! Think about it, that's an antimatter engine!"

"The Academy of Sciences has been working hard for hundreds of years on a technology that it has yet to master!"

"And the grand unified theory...the curvature engine..."

"[Zankar], above..." Malen breathed rapidly and kept chanting, "Chief, this is the greatest opportunity since the birth of wisdom in the Talodan civilization!"

Aldan did not speak, but turned his head and glanced at the group of scientists surrounding him.

Seeing the expectant looks in their eyes, Aldan sighed deeply.

When it saw those conditions, it guessed that this would happen!

These technologies and theories that transcend the level of civilization are like poison exuding extreme temptation to scientists.

Even though they know it's poisonous, they will risk their lives to taste it!

"Chief!" A slightly hoarse voice sounded, "Join!"

"The reason why the Talodan civilization ended up like this is because we don't have powerful weapons and equipment."

"if……"

Aldan's expression moved slightly and he looked at the speaker.

He is a senior member of the military.

Aldan sighed again.

Now, whether they are scientists or soldiers, almost all the Talodans in the command center were overwhelmed by this series of information!

"Dear human civilization, what specific contribution do you mean?"

As the leader of civilization, it has to be cautious.

If human civilization wants to make the Talodan civilization become frontline cannon fodder on the battlefield, it will never agree to this proposal even if it is nailed to the pillar of shame in the history of the Talodan civilization!

The response from Lin Shuguang quickly appeared in front of it.

【resource. 】

[Resources of whatever form can be converted into credits. 】

[The specific content can be decided by you and your civilization through discussion. 】

Aldan let out a slight breath.

Resources, this is an extremely broad answer.

Minerals, manpower and even land, these can all be counted as resources.

If it hadn't heard that their civilization had the right to make independent choices, it would have even been ready to refuse!

"Dear human civilization, this matter is related to the fate of the entire civilization. It is not a decision that I can make alone."

【Understandable. 】

[I can give you seven days. After seven days, I hope to get an accurate answer. 】

[As a sign of sincerity, you will not be attacked by the Eugene civilization within these seven days. 】

Communication was interrupted.

Looking at the warning sign on the screen that communication has been interrupted and the dazzling lines of text, Aldan felt a chill in his heart.

Will you not be attacked by the Eugene civilization within seven days?

What about seven days later?

It understands the subtext of human civilization.

At this point, perhaps the only way for the Talodan people to survive is to become a subsidiary civilization of human civilization.

With this thought in mind, it turned around and glanced at the crowd with extremely solemn and serious eyes.

The noisy discussions in the command center quickly dissipated.

Facing the gazes of all the Talodans, it took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:

“I announce that Talodan Civilization’s 5th Civilization-wide Public Voting will begin now!”

"The referendum deadline is five days."

After the words fell, the dull alarm sounded again in the command center.

"Chief, the fleet is surrounded!"

One of the crew members exclaimed.

Aldan's expression changed slightly, and he quickly drove the power-assist device to slide towards the porthole.

Outside the porthole window.

At some point, warships with angular surfaces formed a huge encirclement network, tightly surrounding the Talodan civilization.

The battleship is not large, not even comparable to the smallest battleship of the Talodan civilization.

But Aldan is extremely convinced that these small battleships alone can easily destroy the two third-level civilizations present!

Behind them, there was noisy discussion, and the sound was filled with panic and uneasiness.

These successive scenes made them realize once again the coldness and darkness of the universe.

Aldan's heart became colder and colder.

These warships may be performing protection missions within seven days, but after seven days... that may not be the case!

After a moment of silence, it turned around again and looked at the slightly flustered crowd.

This time, its tone of voice was slightly gentler: "This may be the most important referendum in the history of Talodan civilization. I hope you can take it seriously."

"The results of this vote will determine the future of Talodan civilization!"

…

Human fleet.

After the communication was interrupted, Lin Shuguang breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he received various training and teachings from the School of Sociology, they were all theoretical after all.

In actual operations, the pressure to negotiate with other civilizations on behalf of the entire human civilization is huge - even if human civilization is now in an absolutely dominant position.

"Well done."

Accompanied by a series of footsteps, Bai Yixuan's voice came from behind: "If the Talodan civilization really becomes a subsidiary civilization, you should be first-class!"

Faced with the praise from the expedition fleet commander, Lin Shuguang smiled slightly awkwardly: "Commander Bai, this is what I should do."

"Command, Eugene Civilization has sent a communication request again."

A crew member hurriedly ran to Bai Yixuan and reported in a low voice: "This is the 63rd time they have sent a communication request."

Bai Yixuan chuckled and turned to look at the porthole not far away: "You should have seen those ship-based drones we sent."

"Probably they want to find out our attitude."

"Just in time, show Talodan civilization the sincerity of human civilization!"

With that said, he turned around and walked towards his seat: "Put in the communication."

Seeing this, Lin Shuguang quickly raised his hand and rubbed his cheek vigorously, trying to cheer himself up.

"Just watch from the side first."

Bai Yixuan's slightly teasing voice came from behind: "The Eugene civilization is not like the Talodan civilization, and ordinary diplomatic methods will not work."

Lin Shuguang was stunned for a moment and looked at Bai Yixuan who was already sitting in the command seat in surprise.

"This kind of civilization of star thieves is used to living a life of licking blood with the tip of a knife."

"Even though they are only level three civilizations, even if they encounter level four civilizations, they still dare to go up and touch them!"

While Bai Yixuan explained, the expression on his face gradually became serious.

Not only Bai Yixuan, but also everyone else in the command center braced themselves and prepared to deal with emergencies.

The smell of war gradually spread.
