Age of Cataclysm: I can light up the technology tree

Solar system, Earth.

"Professor, it's time." A soft light lit up in the slightly dim office.

Zero's virtual image gradually appeared beside the desk: "Most of the researchers have evacuated. It's your turn and the chairman's turn."

Lv Yongchang nodded silently, picked up the white coat hanging beside him, and put it on himself.

Then, he walked towards the door of the office.

The moment his hand was on the door handle, Lv Yongchang turned his head again to look at the dim room.

His eyes looked straight at the window.

Outside the heavy reinforced glass, it was a hellish scene.

Clouds stretching for countless kilometers, countless dancing golden thunders and unprecedented storms filled the whole world.

"Hey..."

Lv Yongchang turned the door handle and turned to walk out of the room.

With the click of the door closing, the holographic image turned into light dust and dissipated in the air, and the originally dim room became even darker.

...

[Jianmu] Underground Base.

Because of the extremely bad weather outside, for the sake of safety, they chose to take the space elevator to the spaceport.

"Speaker." Lv Yongchang, who came to the underground base, saw Senator Li standing in front of a screen from a distance.

"Yongchang." Senator Li turned his head and looked at Lv Yongchang, "You are here."

"Look at this earth."

While speaking, Senator Li cast his eyes on the screen next to him again: "It's hard to imagine that our earth has become like this in just a few years!"

Seeing the pain in Senator Li's eyes, Lv Yongchang fell into silence.

After a long time, he sighed softly: "Speaker, there will be a chance to come back."

"The solar system will always be the home of human civilization."

Senator Li nodded gently, without speaking, and walked directly into the space elevator.

Lv Yongchang looked back at the underground base again.

The huge underground base was empty.

"Zero, start transmitting data." Lv Yongchang said solemnly.

This is the penultimate step for human civilization to evacuate the earth.

Zero needs to package his main program and transfer it to the Earth Starship host located in the [Jianmu] spaceport.

The transmission method is naturally quantum long-distance communication.

"Yes, professor." Zero's voice sounded, "Connecting to the Earth Starship."

"Connection successful, transmitting data..."

The next moment, the holographic image in the underground base quietly dissipated.

Various facilities also left only the most basic functions to maintain operation.

The waiting time was not long, it took more than ten minutes.

"Professor, the transmission is complete." Zero's voice sounded again, and the holographic image unfolded again, "Everything went well."

Unlike more than ten minutes ago, Zero at this time was inside the Earth Starship 91,000 kilometers above the surface, communicating with Lu Yongchang through quantum long-distance communication technology.

Lu Yongchang nodded gently, and his originally solemn face suddenly relaxed a lot.

This is the step he is most worried about, and it is also the step that is most likely to have accidents.

Once there is any accident in the transmission of Zero's main program, human civilization is basically doomed to perish.

He breathed a sigh of relief and stepped into the space elevator.

The elevator was full of people, but it was unusually quiet.

Researchers, starship pilots, and members of the Human Union.

The last group of evacuees sat quietly in their seats, silent, looking ahead with a distracted look.

Seeing Lv Yongchang walk into the space elevator, at that moment, everyone's eyes turned to him.

Familiar faces came into his sight.

Fang Xu, Tang Wenshan, Mao Zhengzhi, Mo Zeyang, Kong Xingbang, Hong Qiming...

Facing everyone's expectant and somewhat confused eyes, Lv Yongchang couldn't help but feel his heart sink.

It was as if a huge rock was pressing on his heart, making him breathless!

"Everyone."

Lv Yongchang opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

He silently looked at the eyes of all the researchers, and for a long time, he exhaled deeply: "May the glory of mankind last forever."

A slight applause sounded from the corner.

Lv Yongchang turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound.

Councillor Li sat quietly in a chair by the porthole of the space elevator, looking at him with a smile on his face.

The light reflected the wrinkles on the old man's face.

It was at this moment that he suddenly realized that the old man had aged a lot in just a few years.

As Councillor Li's applause rang out, applause rang out in the space elevator one after another.

"Professor Lu! We are waiting for you to take us out of the solar system!"

"Yes! Break out of the solar system and colonize the Milky Way!"

"Professor! It's agreed that you will take us back to the solar system to have a look!"

Several young researchers were full of smiles on their faces, clapping and shouting loudly.

The originally dull atmosphere in the space elevator was swept away.

Lv Yongchang looked at several familiar faces who smiled at him, and a smile also appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He walked towards the councillor, sat down in the seat next to the old man, and said in a deep voice: "Zero, let's start!"

A slight vibration and buzzing sound came from the soles of his feet.

[Jianmu] started.

Taking into account the generally low physical fitness of the people present, the space elevator adopted the most gentle operation mode.

Even so, in just a few minutes, the space elevator reached an altitude of thousands of meters!

Lu Yongchang turned his head and looked toward the porthole.

Outside the porthole window, there are layers of dense dark clouds.

It is formed by massive evaporation of sea water.

They envelop the entire planet like a sauna.

Between heaven and earth, a large amount of rain poured out.

But most of this rainwater evaporated again due to high temperatures and returned to the air before it fell.

As the height continued to climb, Lu Yongchang's eyes turned to infinity.

That's the direction of the equator.

Massive clouds blocked his view.

Lu Yongchang sighed slightly, with a bit of regret in his eyes.

The next moment, a holographic image appeared in front of everyone.

Astonishingly, it was a real-time video shot by a robot.

A long, thin, straight ribbon connects heaven and earth.

That is the [Tower of Babel] in Africa.

Camera switch.

A large number of white objects were left on the beach.

That's the salt deposited after massive evaporation of sea water.

The screen jumps again and again.

Through the camera on the robot, the current appearance of the earth is clearly presented to everyone.

This is the end of humanity and the earth.

Lu Yongchang sighed softly and closed his eyes.

The journey is still long, he can rest for a while.

…

When Lu Yongchang opened his eyes again, they had arrived at the terminal point of this journey.

【Jianmu】Spaceport.

Inside and outside the spaceport, fifty Luan Bird I starships were parked quietly.

In these starships, there are stored 500 million scientific researchers and starship pilots who have entered hibernation early.

As long as Lu Yongchang gives an order, these starships will go straight to Mars.

There, these 500 million people will contribute their final light and heat to human civilization, making human civilization a true interstellar civilization in one fell swoop!

Lu Yongchang stood up from his seat silently and walked towards the Earth starship under Zero's guidance.

That's the starship they're going to be on.

The prototype is the Luan Type I Earth starship. As the flagship of human civilization, it is even larger in size.

The length reaches an astonishing 1,200 meters, which is 1.5 times that of the Luanniao I starship.

As for why such a large body is designed, there is naturally a unique reason.

On the one hand, it is to install a zero supercomputing center, and on the other hand, it is to install a large number of quantum ultra-distance communication terminals.

As the flagship of human civilization at this time, Earth will naturally play the role of giving orders.

Can't a piece of information need to go through several transfers to reach its destination?

Looking at the majestic starship in the distance, Congressman Li standing next to Lu Yongchang had some emotion in his eyes.

"Yongchang, it's time for us to set off!"

The old man said softly.

Lu Yongchang nodded, stretched out his hand to support the old man, and walked step by step towards the interior of the starship with the help of electromagnetic boots.

…

In the deep sea cabin.

Lu Yongchang took a deep breath of the deep sea liquid, feeling the slightest coolness brought by the flow of liquid in his lungs. He silently issued the last command through the brainwave reading device on his head.
