Age of Cataclysm: I can light up the technology tree

Chapter 292 Lifespan Issue

One day later.

Lu Yongchang continued to organize data as he did the day before.

Like human civilization, Proxima Centauri civilization stores almost all scientific research data in the central computer.

Perhaps it was because of the suddenness of the outbreak of genetic weapons, or perhaps because of the negligence of the person in charge of the Proxima Centauri civilization.

The central computers in both dungeons maintain excellent integrity.

This also provides human civilization with an excellent learning opportunity.

only……

The quality of these data varies.

Zero's screening mechanism can only use the technology mastered by humans as a benchmark to eliminate duplicate content from the two civilizations.

For those research projects that humans have never conducted since ancient times...

Zero means helpless.

As a result, the style of battlefield organization work has changed dramatically.

In the command center, scientific researchers stared at the holographic projection in front of them, trying to find some useful technology from the weird research materials.

After all, with the efficiency of the Proxima Centauri civilization, no one knows whether a certain piece of information may contain a scientific and technological development direction that humans have not yet discovered.

For example, this information was placed in front of Lu Yongchang.

"A protective device for auxiliary limbs"

Lu Yongchang sighed slightly, flipped through a few pages, and extracted part of the content.

Secondary limb protection device...why do humans need this kind of thing?

However, the synthesis method of this new type of material can be absorbed into the database of human civilization, and maybe it will be used when.

"Professor, the Chairman of the Council wants to see you for something."

Just as Lu Yongchang was about to continue checking the next document, Zero's voice sounded in his ears.

Lu Yongchang suddenly stopped.

"President?"

Zero did not continue to speak, but presented a message in the holographic projection in front of him.

[Professor, according to the latest examination results, the chairman’s physical condition is not optimistic. 】

Lu Yongchang's face changed slightly and he immediately prepared to stand up.

But when he saw the curious eyes of the scientific researchers around him, he changed his mind.

He slowed down his movements as much as possible, and even smiled at Fang Xu beside him: "Brother Xu, the chairman is going to discuss the next plan with me."

"I'll take the first step, and you can help me keep an eye on this."

Fang Xu didn't think much, nodded and focused on the holographic projection in front of him again.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to his actions, he gently unlocked the electromagnetic adsorption device on the seat.

Afterwards, he walked out of the command center with steps that were almost the same as before.

The moment he closed the door, Lu Yongchang's expression changed drastically.

He lowered his voice and said urgently: "Zero, what's going on?"

The holographic image was projected around him again, and Zero's response echoed.

"Professor, the Speaker is 85 years old."

Hearing this, Lu Yongchang was heartbroken.

Yes, so many years have passed.

Even excluding the period of hibernation, the Council Chairman has reached the age of 85.

The old diseases left behind in the past are the biggest culprit affecting the life span of the older generation.

Therefore, even if humans have medical cabin technology, the average life span will be increased to 90 years.

But for these overworked old people like the Speaker of Parliament, 90 is still an elusive goal.

He quickly quickened his pace and rushed towards the room where the chairman of the parliament was.

…

The door opens automatically.

Lu Yongchang panted slightly and stepped into the room of the chairman of the council.

"Yongchang."

A gentle smile appeared on the old man's face.

He raised his hand tremblingly and waved to Lu Yongchang.

A familiar but faint voice sounded: "Come, sit down."

Looking at the old man with white hair and wrinkles on his face behind the desk, Lu Yongchang's eyes suddenly turned a little red.

He walked silently to the Speaker and sat on the chair.

"Member, Chairman, your body..."

The smile on the old man's face became gentler, and he slowly shook his head.

"Zero has already told me the test results."

"According to the inspection results of the medical cabin, I should have less than a year left."

Lu Yongchang's breath was suffocated.

"Is there only one year left..." He lowered his head and said with a low expression.

Every detail of how the Speaker took care of him flashed through his mind.

"Hehehe..." The old man chuckled, stretched out his hand and gently put it on Lu Yongchang's shoulder.

"What are you sad about?"

"Human beings, birth, old age, illness and death are normal things."

"I have lived for 85 years and witnessed with my own eyes the development of Xia State to the current People's Federation. It is enough..."

The old man's slightly cloudy eyes moved, revealing a bit of emotion.

"Let's not talk about these old things."

"The main reason I called you here today is to confirm what will happen in the future."

Lu Yongchang did not speak, but looked at the old man in front of him with slightly red eyes.

The old man was silent for a moment.

"What do you think of Hong Qiming?"

Lu Yongchang heard the meaning of the old man's words.

He frowned and thought for a moment.

Later, he gave a very pertinent evaluation.

"Very good, but just good."

The smile on the old man's face gradually grew stronger: "That's enough."

"Currently human beings need a stable rear environment."

"He's a good candidate."

"Next, I plan to let him take over my work gradually."

"As for the opinions of other councillors..." A hint of sharpness flashed in the old man's turbid eyes, "I will solve it."

Lv Yongchang nodded silently and said, "I believe you."

The room fell silent again.

After a long time, the old man exhaled a long breath: "Next, what are you going to do?"

Lv Yongchang pondered for a moment, and said word by word: "Keep moving forward."

"Proxima Centauri is about to go out."

"The resources of this star system are too scarce. I plan to repair it here for a period of time and then go to a star system that is more suitable for human habitation."

The old man closed his eyes slightly and said in a breath: "Okay."

"Human civilization, I'll leave it to you."

...

After walking out of the councillor's room, Lv Yongchang took a deep breath.

"Zero, show me the councillor's last inspection report."

The holographic projection unfolded, and rows of data appeared in front of him.

Looking at the bad data that was approaching the critical point, Lv Yongchang sighed slightly.

Zero was right.

According to current data, the chairman of the parliament can only last for a year at most.

It may even be shorter.

Whether it is out of selfishness or for the stability of the People's Union, Lu Yongchang finds it difficult to accept such a fact.

He remembered what he said to Mao Zhengzhi two days ago.
