Age of Cataclysm: I can light up the technology tree

"Not an invasion?!"

"This..."

In the command center of Earth, a burst of surprised discussion suddenly sounded.

Obviously.

Lv Yongchang's orders and words just now made most of the researchers present confused.

Only those researchers who "understood" this data war nodded thoughtfully.

Among them, Mo Zeyang and others were naturally included.

Mo Zeyang carefully checked the data in the holographic projection, as if he had discovered something, and his originally frowned brows slightly relaxed, and nodded in agreement with Lv Yongchang's words.

"I understand what you mean, [Ten]'s behavior is indeed a bit strange."

He gently said: "This does not look like an invasion..."

"In my opinion, this is more like..."

A flash of inspiration flashed through Mo Zeyang's mind: "Assessment! Just like the previous assessment!"

Lv Yongchang heard this, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Yes!"

"If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have noticed that this behavior is indeed like an assessment of human civilization!"

"It's just..." Mo Zeyang scratched his head in confusion, "I don't understand. Shouldn't the assessment have ended long ago? Why are we being assessed in this way?"

"This kind of attack without any signs is very dangerous."

"Too unreasonable!"

Lv Yongchang pondered for a moment: "[Ten] is just a weak artificial intelligence."

"We need to think about the problem from the perspective of weak artificial intelligence."

"Obviously, some of our behaviors met the conditions and triggered this assessment."

"As for the specific conditions, why did the other party use such a dangerous method to conduct the assessment..."

"That's what [Ten] has to ask."

After the words fell, the zero-control scientific research robot that stopped attacking sent out an electromagnetic wave message.

...

After the electromagnetic wave message was sent, the data stream from [Ten] began to slowly recede.

Finally, under the gaze of everyone, it left the scientific research robot that served as the battlefield.

At the same time, an electromagnetic wave message was sent.

The information contained a lot of content. This was almost the most "talkative" one since human civilization entered the ruins.

It first apologized to the "Enroget Civilization" for its previous behavior, and then explained in detail why it did so.

As Lv Yongchang guessed, it was indeed the behavior of human civilization that met the preset conditions of [Ten] and triggered this hidden assessment.

There are three preset conditions in total.

First, the main body of the civilization entering the Empire's mother planet fortress must be silicon-based creatures.

Second, the civilization is a friendly civilization and does not pose a threat to the Empire's fortress.

Third, the civilization follows the basic principles of equal exchange and equal transactions.

Looking at the white text in the holographic projection, Lv Yongchang's face became strange.

Ahem...

Is this really talking about human civilization?

He felt a little embarrassed.

It can't be said to be exactly the same, it's simply irrelevant.

Silicon-based? Sorry, humans are carbon-based creatures.

Friendly civilization? Enroget civilization has something to say.

Equivalent exchange, equal trade? Well... when they can't win, human civilization does follow this basic principle.

As for why such a dangerous method is used for assessment...

According to [Ten]'s explanation, according to the information sent back by the Empire 150,000 years ago, this is the standard assessment process of the Silicon Alliance.

Under the restrictions of the laws and rules established by the Empire, it will not actually invade the main network of the "Enroget Civilization".

In other words, even if Zero fails to resist [Ten]'s invasion, human civilization will not suffer any damage.

The sudden assessment without any signs is also to better test the "Enroget Civilization"'s ability to respond to emergencies and the development potential of civilization.

Yes.

It is the development potential of civilization.

For silicon-based civilization, the ability to control data flow is innate.

And this has become the best means to assess the potential of silicon-based civilization, without a doubt.

At least, that's what [The Tenth Empire] thinks.

And the assessment performance of human civilization has far exceeded [Ten]'s expectations!

According to the information provided by [Ten], the assessment standard is set based on the plan sent back by [Tenth Empire] 150,000 years ago and its data control ability at the fifth-level civilization.

As a weak artificial intelligence, its data processing ability is certainly not as good as [Tenth Empire]. The way to make up for it is naturally to stack computing power.

Therefore, at the beginning of the assessment, the computing power used by [Ten] far exceeded the computing power standard of the fifth-level civilization, but the comprehensive strength of the invading data flow was still within the framework of the fifth-level civilization established by [Tenth Empire].

But soon, [Ten] found something wrong.

The "Enroget Civilization" reacted very quickly and built a series of extremely strong firewalls in a very short time.

After completing these basic operations, the other party even began to implement reverse invasion!

This further triggered the assessment mechanism of [Ten].

So... the computing power it called up climbed all the way, and the assessment standard also jumped directly to the ordinary sixth-level civilization standard.

But the computing power called up by the other party was also increasing, and the offensive means also achieved multiple evolutions in a short period of time-Zero upgraded his own offensive means in real time according to [Ten]'s defensive means.

Just like that, the "positive cycle" was realized.

The computing power called by [Ten] became higher and higher, and the intensity of this assessment even reached the entry assessment standard of the Silicon-based Alliance!

That was an assessment of the sixth-level silicon-based civilization!

Just as [Ten] was about to call for higher computing power resources, the "Enroget Civilization" gave up the attack and sent it an inquiry message.

This assessment was also forced to be interrupted.

But the assessment results have already appeared.

Human civilization... no, "Enroget Civilization" has thoroughly demonstrated its development potential to it.

So, [Ten] began to execute the next stage of the program and extended an olive branch to human civilization.

…

"Invite us to join the Silicon-based Alliance?!"

Lu Yongchang looked at the holographic projection and looked at the researchers around him with a strange expression.

It is normal that [Ten] cannot find the true face of human civilization.

But that group of advanced silicon-based civilizations at level six will surely be able to easily unveil the mask called "Enroget Civilization".

This is just a small matter.

The biggest problem is actually with Zero.

According to [Painting], the ban on Level II artificial intelligence is widely spread among all advanced civilizations.

If this is discovered by a group of advanced civilizations...

Hiss!!!

Thinking of this, Lu Yongchang widened his eyes and took a deep breath!

This is really a big deal!
