Age of Cataclysm: I can light up the technology tree

"Success!"

Looking at the information in the holographic projection, Lv Yongchang finally smiled.

Not only did the performance of the [Suirenshi] experimental machine exceed his expectations, but the latest model of dark matter cannon also far exceeded his expectations!

Destroy the entire star system with one blow!

Of course, behind the powerful power is the terrifying energy consumption.

Lv Yongchang made a simple estimate.

In the absence of [Suirenshi], even if the dark matter and antimatter reactors inside the white dwarf-class [Chiyou] planet fortress were operating at the same time, it would take several hours of charging to meet the energy needs of this dark matter cannon.

But in front of [Suirenshi]...

This charging time was compressed to thirty minutes!

You know, this is just an experimental machine!

It still has a lot of room for improvement!

Once its size is reduced and installed on a starship...

The combat power of the human fleet will be unprecedentedly improved!

Just when the surroundings were full of cheers, Lv Yongchang felt a familiar strange feeling coming from the depths of his mind.

This is a sign that the technology tree is about to be promoted!

When [Suirenshi] was successfully running, human civilization finally stepped into the threshold of the eighth-level civilization!

Lv Yongchang tried to stay calm as much as possible, winked at Fang Xu and others who were celebrating, and turned to his office.

...

Office.

Lv Yongchang sat in his chair and entered the technology tree space skillfully with excitement.

As soon as he entered, his consciousness was stunned.

Compared with the previous promotion process, the changes in the technology tree space were too great!

First, the volume of the technology tree itself changed.

In the first seven civilizations, the volume of the technology tree increased gradually.

But the eighth-level civilization is different.

Its volume increased dozens of times!

This means that the number of technologies mastered by the eighth-level civilization is also dozens of times that of the former!

Looking at the trunk of the technology tree that was like a world tree, Lv Yongchang was shocked and had some enlightenment.

No wonder the gap between the eighth-level civilizations is so huge...

Secondly, the volume change of the technology tree has increased the volume of the technology tree space several times.

This is a very normal thing.

But...

Its change also changes the background of the technology tree space - the original mottled background has also expanded several times!

This is a big problem!

Lv Yongchang frowned and carefully observed the mottled background of the technology tree.

Perhaps because the area has become larger and more details have been revealed, the sense of familiarity in his heart has become stronger and stronger.

Suddenly, a shocking thought flashed through Lv Yongchang's mind.

"No way..."

Lv Yongchang suppressed the shock in his heart, murmured in a low voice and cast his eyes to the dim technology tree in front of him.

At the bottom of the technology tree, there is a lit cursor.

[Endless Energy: Initial Mastery of Vacuum Zero-Point Energy]

This is the cornerstone technology of the eighth-level civilization.

Countless white thin lines extend from it, and these thin lines are connected to the cursors of varying brightness in turn.

[Annihilation Starburst]

[Dark Matter Deflector Shield]

[...]

It is not difficult to understand that these are all technological applications based on vacuum zero-point energy.

Lv Yongchang continued to move his eyes upward.

Perhaps because of the "abnormal" development of human civilization, there are also many cursors in the middle area of ​​the technology tree that are half dim and half bright.

For example...

[Wormhole Technology]

For example, [Four-dimensional Shield].

He even saw a cursor that was unexpectedly 30% brighter.

[Low-dimensional Body Constraint Technology]

After a brief confusion, Lv Yongchang suddenly realized.

This should refer to the two-dimensional fragment stabilization device sent by [Painting]!

After a simple browse, Lv Yongchang gradually understood the reason why the eighth-level civilization technology tree is so large-these are all technology applications based on dimensions.

Four-dimensional, two-dimensional...

Each dimension has corresponding technology.

It would be strange if such a technology tree is not complicated!

Lv Yongchang did not stay in the technology tree space for too long.

Before leaving, he took a deep look at the mottled background again.

With the help of the quantum brain, he forcibly memorized every detail of this background.

Then, his consciousness moved slightly, and he exited the technology tree space without any nostalgia.

...

The moment his consciousness returned to his body, Lv Yongchang subconsciously wanted to open his eyes and then control his body to stand up from his seat.

In theory, this is a very normal behavior, and it can even be said to be an instinctive behavior.

But...

He failed.

To be precise, he lost all control over his body.

At this time, Lv Yongchang seemed to have fallen directly into an ice cellar, and his slightly excited mood instantly dissipated.

What happened? !

Before he figured out the specific situation, he discovered another magical thing-although he couldn't open his eyes, it didn't prevent him from observing the surroundings.

This is a magical feeling, just like in the technology tree space, his consciousness can implement a complete observation of the entire space.

So... he "looked" at his body.

The change occurred at this moment.

Buzz...

A pure, surging energy wave gushed out from the depths of his brain!

Different from the past, the energy this time was too turbulent - it penetrated directly into Lu Yongchang's body!

This powerful energy formed a bright green materialized halo around his body!

If there is an instrument on site to observe this energy in real time, he can even get a shocking answer - the essence of this energy is vacuum zero-point energy!

The halo contracts quickly, and then expands quickly!

As soon as he retracted and released, his body turned into countless fluorescent green light spots, which quickly dispersed throughout the room.

【Fuck! 】

At this moment, there were only two beautiful words left in Lu Yongchang's consciousness.

Gan! Am I dead? !

…

Panic, confusion, confusion...

This was Lu Yongchang's first reaction.

Anyone who watched his body being blasted into pieces by a burst of energy would probably have a similar reaction.

But thanks to various experiences in the past, he broke out of this state in the next moment.

Countless thoughts swept through his consciousness.

Soon, he settled on the most likely idea.

This is probably the last transformation of him in the technology tree space - starting from his brain becoming a quantum state, now, his entire body has been quantized!

After finding out the reason behind it, the panic in Lu Yongchang's heart suddenly disappeared.

After his mind stabilized, he also discovered his "change".

After his body was "blasted to pieces", he felt that his whole body had lost its restraints - now, his thinking speed was at least dozens of times faster than before.

In his eyes, the world seemed to be superimposed in slow motion.

He watched helplessly as the camera in the room glowed red, and the holographic projection began to flash warning signs...

[The highest...highest level...don't...warn...warn...]

Each text slowly flashed in his vision.

Obviously, his sudden disappearance directly triggered Zero's highest alert state.

Seeing that Ling was about to issue the highest level warning, Lu Yongchang felt anxious!

Damn it! Don't! !

Cancel! Cancel the alert now! !

As his consciousness fluctuated violently, the fluorescent green light spots in the room gradually gathered and formed a hand in front of the holographic projection.

Starting from the palm of the hand, these fluorescent green light spots continued to condense, and condensed into a figure with fluorescent green light all over the body at an extremely fast speed.

When all the light spots solidified, the originally fluorescent green figure also transformed into Lu Yongchang's original appearance!

Soon enough, at the moment when the alarm was about to be issued, Lu Yongchang's finger gently touched the holographic projection.

"Zero, I'm fine!"

[Voiceprint confirmation. 】

[Fingerprint confirmation. 】

[Portrait comparison completed. 】

[Identity confirmed. 】

[Alarm cleared. 】

Under Lu Yongchang's gaze, the blood-red holographic projection returned to calm again.
