Age of Cataclysm: I can light up the technology tree

Under Zero's control, the detector that had just withdrawn from the cavitation moved forward again and re-entered the four-dimensional cavitation.

In the holographic projection, the familiar red signal logo also flashed again.

According to the plan, these detectors will conduct a month-long data collection and exploration mission in the four-dimensional bubble.

Although the Academy of Sciences has obtained some data about four-dimensional space,...

There is no doubt that the next month will be the most difficult time in every aspect.

On the one hand, academicians need to worry about the operating conditions of the detectors.

In a four-dimensional space without any remote support, any accident will lead to complete destruction of the detector.

On the other hand, academicians are full of curiosity and expectations for the data that the detector will obtain.

What's inside a four-dimensional star system?

How is it different from a three-dimensional star system?

Can the natural and stable four-dimensional space allow human civilization to master dimension-enhancing technology? !

…

In this way, a month passed quietly in the complicated mood of the academicians.

Today is the day when the detector "returns" to the universe!

Inside the Dimensional Research Center.

All the academicians looked eagerly at the giant holographic projection in front of them.

In the projection, under the assimilation effect of this universe, four-dimensional bubbles like "soap bubbles" are slowly fluctuating.

The red sign indicating signal interruption flashes slowly at the same frequency.

In the upper right corner of the projection, there is a series of countdowns that are constantly beating.

【00:06:13】

Six minutes and thirteen seconds later is the exact time the probe is planned to return to the universe!

As the countdown continues to shrink, the atmosphere in the research center gradually becomes anxious.

Even Lu Yongchang couldn't maintain his usual calmness at this time - he stood up from his chair, walked to the porthole, and looked at the constantly fluctuating giant soap bubbles in the distance.

"Time is up……"

Lin Yongnian's murmur came from the side.

Countdown to zero.

After waiting for more than ten seconds, the red signal quietly turned green.

"Detector signal restored."

"Number of detectors remaining: 319."

"Data is being transferred..."

As Zero's electronic synthesized sound sounded in the research center, Lu Yongchang breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time his face became a little ugly.

A month ago, the fleet sent a total of more than 4,000 detectors, but now, only 319 are left...

This terrifying loss rate proves the high danger of the four-dimensional space in disguise!

"The data transmission has been completed." The electronic synthesized voice continued, "Preliminary screening and analysis are in progress..."

"warn!"

"Level I warning information found!"

The moment the announcement sounded, there was a sudden chaos visible to the naked eye in the research center.

Level I early warning information, this is an early warning level exclusive to the technological creations of unknown civilizations!

If there are no errors, this means that the detector has discovered the creations of other civilizations in the four-dimensional star system!

This will be a technological creation from another universe!

Even for today's human civilization, this will be a landmark discovery!

"Everyone, be quiet!"

Lu Yongchang's expression tightened and he quickly returned to his seat from the porthole: "Zero, filter out the relevant information immediately."

…

A bizarre scene appeared again in the holographic projection.

The detector follows the answers obtained by the computing unit and slowly travels through the bizarre four-dimensional space.

The stars in the distance are suddenly larger and smaller, making it difficult to know their true distance.

Suddenly, a small meteorite wandering in the four-dimensional star system jumped into the camera's view, and then hit the detector directly!

Looking at this horrifying scene, there were several exclamations in the research center.

Uh-huh!

The meteorite "passed" the detector without any stop, and at the same time, the detector did not send any warning message.

"There is quite a distance between the two in the fourth direction."

Lu Yongchang whispered to himself softly.

Just like a borrowed shot in three-dimensional space, the two objects are actually hundreds of meters apart, but from a certain perspective, they appear to overlap.

Of course, the reverse is also true.

From a three-dimensional perspective, the two objects are clearly far apart, but in the fourth direction, the two objects have collided!

This is the biggest danger during navigation in four-dimensional space!

The fundamental reason for the damage of all detectors is this - the computing power of the internal computing unit is too weak, and the intelligence is relatively low. It is difficult to make timely and effective responses to emergencies.

As the probe continues to move forward, the distance between it and the star in the center of the four-dimensional star system is also constantly shrinking. Since the probe cannot move in the fourth direction, it has to go a long way to get close to the star. .

In fact, it can never reach the surface of the star!

Just like a chess piece on a chessboard, no matter how you move it, it cannot jump out of the chessboard and fly into the sky!

Finally, with the continuous correction of the computing unit, the detector successfully reached the closest point to the four-dimensional star.

Photographed by the camera, the star's surface glowed very dimly, as if it had reached the end of its life.

suddenly.

The internal computing unit of the detector seemed to have discovered something abnormal.

As warning signs flashed, the camera quickly changed its observation angle.

Finally, it successfully observed the abnormal point.

A technological creation quietly stopped at the edge of the star!

Since the detector could not change its coordinates in the fourth direction, it could only constantly change its coordinates in the other three directions, trying to find a more suitable angle for observation.

With the joint efforts of dozens of detectors, the full picture of this technological creation was finally clearly depicted.

It was a huge multi-ring structure - dozens of huge rings interspersed in four mutually perpendicular directions, forming a shape that was extremely beautiful but beyond the conventional cognition of three-dimensional creatures.

Lv Yongchang's eyes widened slightly, trying to observe more details of this multi-ring structure.

The next second.

According to the previous settings of the Academy of Sciences, a message with a self-decoding program was sent to the multi-ring structure in two different forms: electromagnetic waves and tachyon signals.

After waiting for a long time.

A tachyon message came from the direction of the multi-ring structure.

[Troy Civilization Transformation Center, please show your identity card. 】

Even though this happened a few days ago, looking at the line of text displayed in the holographic projection, Lu Yongchang still felt a chill on his back.

Damn it!

When he designed the messaging program, he never thought that this thing would come in handy!

He never thought that there would be a star system in this four-dimensional bubble, and that there were technological creations of advanced civilization in this star system!

He didn't expect that the other party actually responded to the message sent by the detector!
