Age of Cataclysm: I can light up the technology tree

The Virgo galaxy cluster, especially the central galaxy M87, has gradually returned to calm.

But that doesn't mean the war stops.

On the contrary, at this moment, the war that spreads throughout the Laniakea Supercluster has just begun.

With the withdrawal of the Pastoralists, the Virgo Galaxy Cluster became the only pure land in this super galaxy cluster.

While the Sweeper branches in these galaxies breathed a sigh of relief, they also began the work of rebuilding and repairing the ring universe accelerator.

As for human civilization...

Also got an opportunity for stable development again.

Although the original Enroget vest is gone, the status of human civilization in the Silicon Alliance has risen a lot.

The reason...

Naturally, it is the wide-area tachyon broadcast sent by the [Tenth Empire] in the Hercules Super Galaxy Cluster.

It clearly states that members of the Silicon Alliance have the responsibility and obligation to protect human civilization and ensure that it is not attacked by the pastoralists.

It is also true that in the M87 galaxy, the star field near the human fleet suddenly became a lot more "crowded" - the Secor civilization, which had suffered a heavy loss on the wormhole, directly moved the main body of the civilization to the human fleet. nearby.

Silicon Ray…

Of course there is no need to say more.

Even if there was no order from the Tenth Empire, he would definitely not stay away from the human fleet if he was determined to take over.

Hundreds of years later, Earth calendar year 14,200.

A spherical megastructure with a volume close to that of a star hovers quietly in the empty universe.

Under the illumination of dozens of surrounding stars, this area is not considered dark.

Of course, lighting is only a secondary role of these stars. Their main role is to provide starting energy for the central spherical giant device.

Yes, it is the starting energy!

This giant device, which has been the result of hundreds of years of hard work by the Academy of Human Resources and Social Sciences, is called [Suirenshi].

It has only one function - to mine or extract vacuum zero-point energy.

In the past, Suiren invented the method of drilling wood to make fire and became the inventor of artificial fire in ancient China.

Today, [Suirenshi] can also lead human civilization to a new era - an era of endless energy!

…

The first laboratory of the Academy of Humanities and Sciences.

Including Lu Yongchang, all the academicians were busy checking various parameters of [Suirenshi].

Since [Suirenshi] is the first vacuum zero-point energy extraction experimental machine, the inspection work before the experiment is relatively cumbersome. At the same time, the size of the device is also extremely large.

But that's not a problem.

As long as the experiment is successful, the miniaturization project will be immediately put on the agenda.

"Professor, the zero-point furnace has completed all inspection items!"

"The energy pathway has been tested!"

"..."

Lu Yongchang stopped what he was doing, and after confirming that the last inspection item was completed, he issued the order in a deep voice.

"Start extracting star energy and prepare to activate [Suirenshi]!"

…

【Suirenshi】area.

Dozens of silver-white energy pathways extend from this spherical giant device, extending straight to the blue giant not far away - each blue giant corresponds to an energy pathway.

Under the gravitational shielding technology and zero precise control, these stars not only did not have any gravitational fluctuations, they even stayed in place quietly.

Dozens of energy pathways ignore the high temperature of the stars and are inserted directly into the interior of these stars like straws.

The next moment.

A large amount of stellar matter was directly extracted, and under the action of the [Mass-Energy Mutual Conversion Device] inside [Suirenshi], all was converted into pure energy.

This energy continues to spread along the energy pathways within [Suirenshi].

The reminder lights kept lighting up, and the power of the zero-point furnace also began to increase - just like a pressurized water well, the zero-point furnace also needs a "little energy" at the beginning to act as a primer to extract the vacuum zero-point energy.

[The input power of the zero-point furnace has reached the standard! 】

A line of bright white text appeared in the holographic projection.

"Start the zero-point furnace and start extracting vacuum zero-point energy!"

Lu Yongchang suppressed the excitement in his heart and gave the order without hesitation!

Buzz…

With an extremely slight tremor coming from the central core area of ​​[Suirenshi], the most majestic and magnificent energy in the universe appeared in the Zero Point Furnace!

"Output power 10%!"

"20%!"

"50%!!"

"The input of stellar energy has stopped, and the zero-point furnace is operating in good condition!"

Fang Xu's excited voice echoed in the laboratory: "The output power of the zero-point furnace is 100%!"

"The running time is exactly ten minutes!"

"[Suirenshi] has good stability!"

Ten minutes, this was the first goal set by Lu Yongchang at the beginning of the experiment!

Listening to the reports, Lu Yongchang became more and more excited: "Keep running!"

Time passes minute by minute.

Twenty minutes later.

The operating status of [Suirenshi] is still very stable.

but……

"drop!"

As the reminder sounded, an orange-yellow logo appeared in the blue holographic projection.

"Professor!" Tao Yuda's calm voice came, "The energy cache area is about to reach its capacity limit."

Today's [Suirenshi] is just a crude experimental machine. Therefore, the Academy of Sciences has not designed special energy conversion and storage functions for it.

Then here comes the problem.

How to deal with so much energy?

Lv Yongchang, who had a plan in place, operated the holographic projection in front of him calmly.

...

In the empty universe.

[Suirenshi] slowly opened a huge hatch on the side.

From the hatch, a huge gun barrel with a diameter of more than 100 kilometers stretched out.

This is the simplest and most brutal energy release plan.

You can even test the performance of the latest model of dark matter cannon!

Black light flashed.

Boom!

The torrent gushed out of the muzzle and shot directly at a nearby abandoned star system.

The star system is not large, about the size of two solar systems.

A wave of space-time waves spread out.

It passed through the long-opened jump port and disappeared into the visible universe.

The next moment, another jump port appeared near this desolate star system.

The torrent with a black light gushed out from the port and shot directly at this star system.

Wow!

The chain reaction of dark matter then unfolded!

A strong light suddenly appeared in this desolate star system!

As time passed, the light became stronger and stronger, even overshadowing the light of the two stars inside!

Boom!!!

The flames of the explosion completely submerged this unfortunate star system.

When the light dissipated, it disappeared completely.

Only the scattered atoms floating in the interstellar space could prove that it had existed.

[Energy has been released, the current [Suirenshi] energy cache surplus: 5%. ]

The faint white text appeared in the holographic projection of the laboratory.
