Age of Cataclysm: I can light up the technology tree

Original Dimension Research Center.

Almost all the academicians of the Human Union Academy of Sciences were gathered in this huge megastructure.

Every academician stared at the real-time observation data in the holographic projection, fearing that he would miss any information.

At the moment of the collision, a large amount of observation data came along the tachyon communication frequency band.

"Is it really broken?"

Fang Xu looked at the rapidly flashing observation data and murmured in a low voice.

Under that terrifying energy, the originally indivisible basic particles were actually broken!

Lu Yongchang did not speak.

At this time, he focused all his attention on the observation data in front of him.

Among the academicians present, he was the only one who could easily keep up with the continuous observation data.

...

One Planck time after the basic particles were broken, a sudden change occurred.

(Planck time: refers to the minimum interval between time quanta, proposed by Planck in 1900, which is 1E-43 seconds (i.e. 10-43s), and the calculation formula is Planck time = Planck length/speed of light.)

A void, uniform energy field appears in the particle beam collision area.

In that area, there is no space-time fluctuation, nor any energy fluctuation.

That is the true void.

This void energy field only lasted for one Planck time, and then it changed again.

One by one, points with some strange fluctuations appeared in this void energy field, breaking the uniform state of this energy field.

These points are constantly vibrating and moving, and the vibration amplitude, frequency and movement trajectory of each point are different!

As the points move, fragmented "lines" appear in the energy field.

The "lines" are constantly fluctuating, and basic particles are born in the energy field.

In the process of fluctuation, the "lines" gradually form layers of planes without thickness.

The planes fluctuate and overlap one by one, turning into a deep three-dimensional sphere.

Then, the hypersphere was born.

After the hypersphere, there was a bubble-like object that was difficult to describe in words.

That was...

The cosmic bubble!

The empty, uniform energy field had completely dissipated, and only a mini cosmic bubble with a diameter of less than one meter remained in place.

The cosmic bubble was extremely unstable and dissipated in the vast universe within a few Planck times. The originally violent space-time fluctuations gradually returned to their original calm.

The particle collision experiment was over.

From the particle collision to the restoration of calm, only dozens of Planck times were consumed in total.

The technological creations of the Sweeper civilization around the particle collision area and the lost giant worms used to build the tachyon communication frequency band were also completely turned into ashes in this violent turbulence.

...

The experimental observation data from the Sweeper civilization had long stopped refreshing.

But Lu Yongchang still maintained his original action, staring blankly at the projection in front of him.

His quantum brain had already set off a storm!

What did he just see? !

The birth process of the universe? !

The vibration of the zero-dimensional point created one-dimensional strings.

The vibration of the string created different basic particles in the universe.

From zero dimension to one dimension, and then from one dimension to two, three, and four dimensions...

In the end, it formed the universe today!

Countless inspirations rushed in Lv Yongchang's mind!

The technology tree deep in his mind also showed abnormal movement at this moment!

...

Technology tree space.

The mottled background space and the white technology tree appeared in front of Lv Yongchang again.

He subconsciously raised his head and cast his eyes to the top of the technology tree.

The thick fog has dissipated!

The cornerstone technology of the ninth-level civilization is clearly presented in front of him!

[The cornerstone of the universe: source theory]

The brightness of the cursor is less than 30%.

This is normal. After all, he has only obtained the experimental data of the ring universe particle accelerator and has not yet started in-depth research.

Just as he was about to shift his attention to the applied technology based on [source theory], the technology tree space changed again.

Just like the last change.

The technology tree continued to collapse, and the white branches continued to dance in the mottled background, slowly outlining a figure.

Lv Yongchang narrowed his eyes slightly, waiting for the technology tree to complete the mutation.

He wanted to see what secrets were hidden behind this technology tree.

As the figure gradually stabilized, a message appeared directly in Lv Yongchang's mind.

[Hello, Lv Yongchang. ]

[Don't worry, I have no ill intentions, this is just a pre-set program. ]

[The trigger condition of the program is that you have initially come into contact with the source theory. ]

[This means that my plan is about to succeed, and it also means that human civilization is about to achieve a real victory. ]

[I guess at this time you have successfully cracked the mystery of the background space of the technology tree, and also understood the annihilation plan of the Pastoral School. ]

[If nothing unexpected happens, human civilization has now gone to war with the Sweepers and the Pastoral School. ]

[The program has built-in basic AI. You can ask me about your confusion, and I will try my best to answer it for you based on the database. 】

"You...what is your purpose?" Lv Yongchang calmed down and asked in a deep voice.

[Purpose?] The figure seemed to smile, [For the continuation of mankind, for the victory of mankind, for...the glory of mankind.]

Lu Yongchang was slightly absent-minded: "Are you also a human being?"

[Of course, of course I am human. 】

[You can understand me as a human from another parallel universe. 】

Lu Yongchang fell into silence.

The multiverse theory has been confirmed, so the existence of parallel universes does not surprise him too much.

As the long river of time flows, there will inevitably be countless forked roads, and these forked roads will inevitably give birth to countless parallel universes.

"What exactly is the technology tree system?"

He thought for a moment and asked again.

[This is a complex issue...]

[You can understand it as a preset guidance AI. In order to create it, I browsed through the technology trees of countless civilizations and conducted large-scale deduction work. 】

[After eliminating various sub-dangerous and dangerous technologies, I sorted out a set of development paths that are most suitable for human civilization. 】

[This is the origin of the technology tree. 】

Hearing this, Lu Yongchang was greatly shocked.

Check out the technology trees of countless civilizations...

You must know that there are nine-level technologies in the technology tree!

Doesn't this mean that the other party is stronger than the ninth-level civilization?

"What about Zero? What's going on with Zero's existence?" Lu Yongchang asked eagerly.

Zero is the only exception in the technology tree!

【zero? Are you referring to the Level III artificial intelligence whose core code is restricted? 】

The figure said lightly: [Its predecessor was an out-of-control omnic civilization. It took me a lot of effort to obtain its core code over time and add restrictions to it. 】

[About the limitations of core code...]

[I don’t recommend that you lift it, even if it can bring you excess returns. 】

The figure shrugged: [Of course, if you are sure to control it, feel free to do so. 】

ps: Thanks to the King of Gifts from Haoyuezhidong!

Thanks to The Feihong and the Brewmaster for sending me the final 666!

Thank you, boss!
