Age of Cataclysm: I can light up the technology tree

"The Enroget civilization has no ability to change the trajectory of stars."

"However, we can help you pick a star that meets the criteria."

"The imperial fortress should have the ability to move, right?"

[10] After a moment of silence, he gave his answer.

[Twenty thousand years ago, the power of the supernova explosion exceeded the empire's expectations, and the warp engine was damaged beyond repair. 】

[Currently, the fortress has lost its basic mobility. 】

Seeing these lines of text, Lu Yongchang suddenly frowned.

This is difficult to handle.

[Sufficient amounts of hydrogen and helium can be used as substitutes. 】

A line of bright white text appeared in the projection in front of the command center.

Lu Yongchang was at peace.

Just hydrogen and helium.

If that doesn't work, just bring a few gas giant planets to it.

Stars cannot be moved, but gas giant planets can still be moved.

For human civilization, this is nothing more than a trivial matter that consumes some computing power and time.

Don't say anything else.

The value of the detailed observation data about the fortress's optical brain alone far exceeds the resources required to transport the gas giant planet!

As for [Ten], it didn't pay anything. It just allowed the "Enroget Civilization" to visit the control room of the fortress mastermind in exchange for precious energy materials.

Therefore, both parties are very satisfied with this transaction.

Win-win.

…

One month later.

The People's Alliance expedition fleet arrived at the imperial fortress with a large amount of supplies and replenished fuel for the depleted scientific research fleet.

The scientific research fleet also completed all "permitted" detection methods and successfully evacuated from the imperial fortress.

At the same time, the People's Federation Megastructure Project Team also received new orders from the Academy of Sciences.

Megastructure project: [Star Reacher].

The appearance is similar to [Star Eater], and it is also a giant device composed of several movable concentric rings.

But unlike [Star Eater], [Star Reacher] does not have a smelting device inside.

In addition to installing a super-powerful curvature engine, its internal space only has energy storage space.

According to the design plan of the Academy of Sciences, under ideal conditions, a [Star Reacher] can transport a gas giant planet of the same size as Jupiter.

Since the mass of the transported star is too huge, the sailing speed is naturally unbearable.

It can't even reach 0.1 times the speed of light.

Needless to say, it is the slowest aircraft in the Human Alliance Fleet.

But it is also the aircraft with the largest payload in the People's Alliance Fleet.

According to the requirements of [10], human civilization needs to collect more than 1,000 gas giant planets with a diameter of more than 120,000 kilometers for it.

Even for human civilization, this is an extremely difficult task.

In terms of the current mobility of human civilization, it may take thousands of years to complete this collection task.

However, with the rapid technological advancement of human civilization, the specific time may be far lower than expected.

…

Earth calendar year 3757.

The scientific research fleet returned to the Kepler 452 star system again, and Lu Yongchang also woke up from hibernation.

In the more than ten years since the scientific research fleet left, the Academy of Sciences has not stopped its research work.

Due to the lack of the main scientific research force, the original scientific research work has slowed down visibly.

The return of the main force has made the atmosphere of the Academy of Sciences established on Kepler 452b a lot more lively.

All scientific researchers know the gains of the scientific research fleet - optical computers, space rift cutting devices...

These two technologies alone are enough to bring the Academy of Sciences into a long-awaited moment of excitement!

Therefore, on the eve of the arrival of the scientific research fleet in the Kepler 452 star system, the Academy of Sciences was extremely quiet - everyone was recuperating for the upcoming "war"!

But to everyone's surprise, Lu Yongchang hurriedly returned to his office after learning about the research results of the Academy of Sciences during this period.

This abnormal phenomenon immediately aroused doubts among some newcomers.

"Academician Fang?"

A researcher looked at Fang Xu, the second-in-command of the Academy of Sciences, with confusion on his face: "What's going on, Chief Lu?"

Although hibernating time is not included in the actual age, in the eyes of the new generation born after Kepler, Lu Yongchang is already an "old antique" from 1,700 years ago.

The huge gap in age and seniority makes these new generations increasingly respect this legendary figure who has led the rapid development of human civilization for thousands of years.

Therefore, it is difficult to hear the affectionate title "Professor Lu" from their mouths. Instead, it is the more formal title of "Chief Lu".

Of course, for those "old fritters", the unique title of "professor" is still retained.

"Those space rift cutting devices...are just placed in the [Earth] hangar, and you won't study them anymore?"

The young researcher asked anxiously.

Fang Xu turned to look at him, and after thinking for a moment, he suddenly realized: "Lin...Lin Yongnian, right?"

"I remember that you are mainly focusing on the theory of space and time?"

"You just entered the Academy of Sciences not long ago, right?"

Newcomers, plus research topics involving themselves...

It's crazy if you can keep your composure.

Lin Yongnian, who had a slightly childish face, showed some excitement in his eyes. Obviously, for him, it was quite an honor for his name to be remembered by the second-in-command of the Academy of Sciences.

"Yes, yes, Academician Fang, do you know me?" Lin Yongnian nodded repeatedly, with a proud smile on his face.

Looking at the newcomer from the Academy of Sciences with excitement written all over his face, Fang Xu laughed dumbly.

"You are new here, so it is normal that you don't know."

"At present, human civilization has developed to the peak level of Level 5 civilization."

"What we got from the mother star fortress of the [Tenth Empire] is the technology of Level 7 civilization."

"The gap is not small!"

"None of us has seen Level 6 civilization."

"Let alone the technological standards of Level 6 civilization."

"As the chief scientist, Yongchang naturally has to determine the most feasible research direction for the Academy of Sciences."

Looking at Lin Yongnian with a surprised look on his face, Fang Xu patted his shoulder with some emotion: "This is how humans have come in the past 1,700 years."

"Under his guidance, human civilization has avoided many detours."

"So..."

"Be patient and wait."

"According to my experience, Yongchang should have a specific research idea within a week."

Lin Yongnian swallowed his saliva, nodded repeatedly, and cast his eyes on the office door in the distance.

Thanks to Xiaoqiu Pro for the master certification!

Boss is generous! Boss makes a fortune!

Don't worry, bosses, I haven't forgotten to add more chapters QAQ. I'm adjusting my state these days and trying to save some manuscripts. The days without manuscripts are too painful...
