Age of Cataclysm: I can light up the technology tree

Levi's reaction was reflected in Lyle's visual organs.

A few slight wrinkles appeared on the top of Lyle's thinking organs, but they were quickly smoothed out and dissipated.

There was a hint of sarcasm in his tone: "Levi, don't worry, the Academy of Sciences does not want to interfere with your lives."

"But, for the sake of being Proxima Centauri, I will tell you a piece of news."

"News about the solar system." Seeing Levi's skeptical look, Lyle added lightly.

Levi's breathing hole suddenly opened!

"What?!"

His tone seemed particularly hurried.

As the leader of the rebels, he naturally knew that the solar system was the escape target selected by the Academy of Sciences and the royal family, and it was also the best choice at present.

Seeing Levi's anxious look, Lyle seemed a little more relaxed.

He sat carelessly on a chair nearby, gently swinging his sturdy and short forelimbs: "Relax, Levi, it's not a big deal."

"What happened to the solar system?!" Levi's three pairs of visual organs narrowed slightly, and his tone also revealed a bit of threat, "If you keep playing tricks, I'll call the guards!"

As he said, Levi stretched out his forelimbs and pressed the white button on the side.

Lyle's visual organs revealed a bit of fear.

Although his physical fitness is better than most Proxima Centauri, he still thinks he can't stand up to a group of guards.

"Okay, okay, I'll tell you." Lyle stood up from the chair helplessly and whispered a piece of news that shocked Levi.

"The solar system, I can't go there."

"What...what?!"

Levi subconsciously held his breath and asked in a hoarse voice: "Why?"

Lyle shrugged: "The latest observation results of the Academy of Sciences."

"The main star of the solar system has entered its final dying stage. A helium flash occurred a few days ago and it is currently developing into a white dwarf."

"I heard from several observers that there are only a few gas giants and a few solid satellites left in the solar system."

Levi's thinking organ on top of his head was full of complex textures: "...When did it happen?"

Lyle was silent for a while, as if thinking.

"If I remember correctly, it should be a helium flash that happened fifty years ago."

"Why did you find it now?!" Levi clenched his fists and slammed them hard on the table in front of him.

"Bang!"

A loud noise came.

"Levi!" Several short and powerful calls came from outside the door, "What happened?!"

Just as Levi was about to explain, Lyle suddenly smiled and said to him meaningfully: "If I were you, I wouldn't explain to them now."

Looking at the rounded arc on the skin on the top of Lyle's thinking organ, he suddenly swallowed the words on his lips.

"It's okay, don't worry."

"Very good." Lyle's smile seemed more mysterious.

"So what is the reason that we found out about this news so late!" Levi ignored Lyle's "praise", stretched out his forelimbs, grabbed Lyle's black robe, and asked in a deep voice.

Faced with Levi's questioning, Lyle's breathing hole opened slightly and exhaled a long turbid breath: "You should know the efficiency of the Academy of Sciences."

"Various documents and materials are piled up, and delaying the processing for fifty years is already considered fast."

"There are several scientific research projects proposed three hundred years ago, and no one is willing to take over until now."

Levi fell into silence.

He knew Lyle didn't lie to him.

The work efficiency of the Academy of Sciences and the Royal Family was extremely low. As the leader of the rebels, he knew this very well.

I still remember the scene when I captured the incubation center and the Royal Family and the Academy of Sciences sent people to negotiate.

That negotiation dragged on for five years!

"What are you going to do?"

Levi asked again after a moment of silence.

Lyle did not answer immediately, but walked to the window and looked down at the hard-working Proxima people.

"The construction speed is really fast..."

"If we had such a construction speed at the beginning, I might have been on the escape spaceship now."

Levi ignored Lyle's sigh and just looked at him silently.

"Boring..." Seeing that Levi ignored his words, Lyle opened his breathing hole again and blew out a breath of turbid air, "I can't go to the solar system, so I can only change my destination."

"But!" Levi said in a somewhat hurried tone, "The distances of other habitable star systems are..."

Lyle turned away from the window, and the skin on the top of his thinking organ showed a half-smile expression.

"The distance is far, and the problem can be solved by reducing the number of escapees."

Levi's breath suddenly choked, and a series of fine bumps appeared on the top of his thinking organ instantly!

"No! This is impossible..."

Lyle interrupted Levi's words directly.

"Okay, there are no outsiders here."

"You should know in your heart that these spaceships built below are not enough for everyone to escape from Proxima, right?"

Levi fell silent.

Yes, he knew it better than anyone else.

This large construction plan was proposed by him.

Because the starship manufacturing technology was in the hands of the Academy of Sciences, he also negotiated with the Academy of Sciences at that time.

After obtaining the relevant technology, he mobilized everyone to build their own starship together.

He still remembered the words he used to "mobilize" everyone.

"Since the Academy of Sciences and the Royal Family are not going to take us to escape, then we will build our own escape starship!"

"I promise everyone that everyone can board the escape starship to the solar system, even Marus will have his own seat!"

Of course, after the mobilization, he soon realized his naivety.

Not to mention leading everyone to escape, conservatively estimated that even if all Proxima people build starships day and night, the best result is to take away about 500,000 Proxima people.

This obviously violated his own words of promise.

Thinking of the impact caused by the announcement of the situation, he made a prompt decision to suppress the situation and strictly prohibited the informed personnel from revealing the information to the outside world.

The purpose of doing this is very simple.

In order to allow all Proxima people to complete their work with peace of mind.

At this critical moment, no matter what accidents occur, the number of people who escape in the end will be reduced.

As for the final escape candidate...

Levi already has his own answer in his heart.

In any case, let the Proxima people take the escape ship first.

In other words, in his mind, the Marus once again became disposable tools.

"So, Levi, we are the same kind." Lyle's voice came from the side, "We are all the same."
