Age of Cataclysm: I can light up the technology tree

On the third day after the discovery of the strange black circle.

Xuannv-1 reentered the Earth's atmosphere and slowly landed at the Xia National Space Research Institute.

A series of rock and black circle samples excavated from the moon were sent to the institute's laboratory as soon as possible.

Lv Yongchang looked at the black substance on the experimental table in front of him, and a trace of amazement flashed in his eyes.

Under the light, the black substance was slightly reflective.

"I have to say, this thing is pretty good-looking." Lv Yongchang whispered.

Cao Liangcai leaned over and glanced at the black substance on the experimental table, and nodded gently: "It's really pretty, but..."

"It's the same Hall thruster, but ours doesn't seem to achieve this effect, right?"

Hearing this, Lv Yongchang's eyes showed some helplessness.

Of course it can't be achieved.

If the same effect can be achieved, it is estimated that Xuannv-1 can fly out of the solar system.

"Old Cao, help me identify when this thing was formed."

Cao Liangcai was slightly startled.

"When was it formed? Why are you studying this?"

"Shouldn't we study the composition of this black substance?"

Lv Yongchang stared at the glass-like substance in front of him with his deep eyes, and whispered: "I want to build a model to reverse the whereabouts of this aircraft!"

...

"The result is out."

Cao Liangcai's eyes were a little horrified: "You may not believe it, this thing was formed five years ago!"

"It's hard to calculate the specific time, there is only an approximate time, it should be around December 2025."

Hearing this key time node, Lv Yongchang's heart skipped a beat.

Five years ago.

It was the time when the travelers left the solar system.

Can't be so unlucky... Two Voyager probes were picked up by two civilizations respectively?

Thinking of this, Lv Yongchang's face showed a bitter expression.

This is really...

"What's wrong?"

Seeing the bitter expression on Lv Yongchang's face, Cao Liangcai frowned and asked in a low voice: "Is there anything special about this time?"

Lv Yongchang hesitated for a moment and told Cao Liangcai his guess.

"Fuck..."

"The TND solar crisis was caused by the United States?" Cao Liangcai's face flushed instantly, "No, we must settle accounts with them!"

"Come on, this thing is just a guess of mine." Lu Yongchang shrugged and said unhappily, "Besides, how do you want to settle accounts?"

"According to the current situation, even if Xiaguo Technology is the only one in power, we can't easily attack other countries."

"We only have 15 years left. We can't spend one or two years on internal fighting?"

"Besides, no matter how rubbish they are, on the scale of the universe, we are all human civilization."

Cao Liangcai laughed awkwardly and scratched the back of his head: "I didn't think so much... I just think that our Xiaguo can get itself out of it, and those other countries have nothing to do with us!"

Lv Yongchang shook his head slowly.

"You can't say that."

"Whether from the genetic level or from the perspective of evolution, keeping them will only be more beneficial to our Xia country."

As he spoke, Lv Yongchang's eyes revealed a bit of depth: "After apes became humans, our evolution has stagnated."

"To adapt to the universe, we must start evolving again."

"Genes of different races will only be beneficial to Xia country."

"If you want to go far in this dark universe, it is absolutely impossible to stand still."

Cao Liangcai nodded thoughtfully.

It makes some sense.

"Of course." Lv Yongchang's eyes flashed a little cold, "All I said is under the situation where Xia country is the leader."

"If there are blind people who want to make trouble at this time, I will let him know what despair is!"

Cao Liangcai's eyes twitched twice, and he quickly changed the subject: "Ahem! I've gone too far."

"The data is out, we can start modeling and reverse deduction."

Lv Yongchang came back to his senses and looked down at the data in front of him.

After inputting the data into the model he created, the computer quickly gave a conclusion.

"Hiss..."

Lv Yongchang took a breath: "This... How could this be..."

The simulation result pointed to the direction of Proxima Centauri.

In other words, the alien civilization using Hall propulsion technology came from Proxima Centauri, which is only 4.22 light years away from the earth!

4.22 light years!

This is an extremely small distance on the scale of the universe.

It's basically like a neighbor separated by a wall!

A cold sweat suddenly broke out on Lv Yongchang's back.

This... Humans have spent so much time looking for alien civilizations, but they don't know that the real extraterrestrial civilization is right next door!

Cao Liangcai, who was standing by, was also horrified when he saw this result.

"This result... won't be wrong?" He swallowed slightly and whispered.

Lv Yongchang didn't say anything, but just lowered his head and checked it quickly.

After the same result appeared in the second simulation, Lv Yongchang sighed deeply.

"It should be correct."

"They are right next to us."

Lv Yongchang's face was ugly.

Now, human civilization not only faces a solar crisis, but also has to deal with the invasion of a more advanced civilization!

What’s more terrifying is that they don’t even know when this civilization will fully enter the solar system!

“What should we do…?”

Faced with Cao Liangcai’s question, Lv Yongchang fell into a long silence.

What should we do?

How does he know what to do? !

This is simply a natural disaster plus a man-made disaster!

A hellish start!

Hiding in the solar system is definitely not a way to survive.

To leave the solar system, Proxima Centauri, 4.22 light years away, is a necessary choice.

Cross-star system navigation is not like navigation within a star system.

Outside the star system, there is an endless “blank zone”.

It can be said that in such an interstellar space, humans will not get any supplies.

Therefore, the target of the first cross-star system navigation can only be the nearest Proxima Centauri.

As for Alpha Centauri, 4.3 light years away from the earth… there are no planets in its star system.

(For the sake of plot advancement, this is the setting. In fact, there is a high probability that there is an Earth-like planet in the habitable zone of Alpha Centauri.)

Before humans have acquired the technology to convert energy back into matter, planets will always be an indispensable source of materials.

Gaseous planets can provide hydrogen and helium, providing energy for the next interstellar voyage, and solid planets can provide various carbon-based organisms with indispensable elements, such as carbon and oxygen...

His brain was working frantically, sorting out all the information currently known.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up!
