Age of Cataclysm: I can light up the technology tree

Talodan Civilization.

With the help of the stabilizer, Aldan's furry, round body "squeezed" on the transparent porthole.

It didn't care about its slightly deformed face, but just watched the scene outside the porthole from afar.

Seeing the eleven fleets that originally surrounded the Talodan fleet turning on the Hall propulsion device and slowly leaving, it suddenly showed some joy in its eyes.

"Success!"

"Eugene civilization retreated!!"

Aldan broke free from the porthole, raised his short paws, and loudly announced this exciting good news to the people around him.

The next second, cheers came from all around.

Every Talodan danced his round body, and with the help of the power-assisting device, he drew beautiful arcs in the air one after another - they used this to express the joy of surviving the disaster.

Except Milo.

Milo, who still hadn't learned how to use the power-assisting device, could only stand on the deck silently with the help of the stabilizer, looking at his companions around him with envy.

Suddenly, a voice broke the joyful atmosphere in the ship.

"After seven days, can we not agree to the demands of human civilization?"

The command center filled with cheers quickly quieted down.

Yes! Since the Eugene civilization has retreated, even if they lose the protection of human civilization, they can survive safely!

At this moment, these pandas who have just left their home planet and have not had much contact with alien civilizations began to have this naive idea in their hearts.

After all, who would want to be a subordinate civilization of other civilizations if they can live freely? !

After a short silence, everyone looked expectantly at Aldan standing by the porthole.

Unlike them, Aldan, as the leader who led the civilization to escape danger several times, can better experience the darkness and coldness between civilizations.

So, facing everyone's expectant eyes, Aldan slowly shook his head.

Just as it was about to speak, a strong fire came from a distance, shining through the porthole on its black and white fur.

The exclamation of the tribesmen also came to my ears.

Aldan had no time to think, and quickly turned his head to look at the porthole behind him.

The fire came from a Eugene fleet.

It was an extremely brilliant explosion.

The gamma rays generated by the explosion had already passed over the Talodan fleet like a tsunami.

"Fight... fight?"

Aldan felt his mind was blank: "Is the Eugene civilization crazy? They dare to do this?!"

But soon, he realized his mistake.

The Eugene civilization did not take action, but instead accelerated its retreat under the explosion.

This scene did not bring much joy to Aldan.

On the contrary, the worry in his heart increased again at this time.

There was also a noisy discussion behind him.

"Enough!" Aldan, who was dizzy, turned around suddenly and shouted, "Be quiet!"

"Do you think human civilization is kinder than Eugene civilization?!"

"Look at what they just did!"

"Without any warning, they directly destroyed a warship of Eugene civilization, just to speed up their departure!"

Aldan's words were like a hammer, hitting these naive pandas hard.

"If I'm not mistaken, the fleet of Eugene civilization will never leave! Human civilization will not let them leave!"

Aldan waved his little paws, blushing and shouting loudly: "Everyone, watch carefully! Eugene civilization will stop retreating soon!"

...

"Leader."

A quick and sharp voice broke the silence of the command center: "Eugene fleet has stopped!"

"Sure enough..." Aldan closed his eyes in despair, "How far is it?"

"One hundred million kilometers!"

Aldan took a deep breath, opened his eyes again and looked at everyone: "Did you see it? Only one hundred million kilometers!"

"You guys..."

It said with great sorrow: "The understanding of the universe and civilization is still too shallow!"

The pandas in the command center looked at each other, and everyone showed a little shame in their eyes.

"Chief, what should we do now?" Milo asked softly, "Become a subordinate civilization of human civilization?"

"According to you, it seems that we only have this one way to go."

"Who said it wasn't?" Aldan took a deep look at Milo who was looking at him, and replied softly, "The voting continues."

"The life and death of civilization should not be decided by me alone."

"If you would rather die standing, then I respect your choice."

After the voice fell, the atmosphere in the Talodan fleet became more and more dead.

...

Five days passed in a flash.

The fifth Talodan referendum was declared over.

Under Aldan's order, the central computer began to count the voting results.

The Talodans in each starship stared nervously at the large or small screen in front of them.

There are only three options for voting: agree, disagree and abstain.

Looking at the rapidly increasing numbers after each option, Aldan subconsciously held his breath.

The voting results are out.

76.3% of the Talodans chose to agree.

23.1% of people chose to abstain.

Only 0.6% of the Talodan people chose the opposition option!

When he saw the voting results, Aldan breathed a sigh of relief, and a bit of joy appeared in his eyes.

No one wants to die.

If it is true as humans say, the subordinate civilization is not a slave, and can even be exchanged for various technologies and equipment, then he is willing to become a subordinate civilization of a higher civilization.

At least, the inheritance of civilization has not been interrupted.

In the vast universe, there may be a place for Talodan civilization in the future.

"Milo."

Aldan waved his hand and called softly: "Initiate a communication request to human civilization."

"So fast?!"

Milo showed some surprise in his eyes: "We still have two days!"

"No, we can't wait until the last day." Aldan smiled gently, raised his hand and touched Milo's fluffy head, and explained softly, "If we haven't become a subordinate civilization on the seventh day, once human civilization withdraws its protection measures for us, what do you think Eugene civilization will do?"

Milo's eyes widened slightly and he took a breath of cold air.

"I... I understand!"

As he said this, he turned around and controlled the power-assist device, swaying towards a computer.

"I'll initiate a communication request right now!"
