Age of Cataclysm: I can light up the technology tree

Ren Feng held a flashlight in his hand and walked out of the door cautiously.

The flashlight model is very old.

If I remember correctly, it should be a product around 2210.

Sixty years ago, regardless of Ren Feng's persuasion, my grandfather resolutely purchased this nuclear-powered flashlight that was said to last for a hundred years.

There is no other reason.

The old man is worried about Yi.

At that time, Ren Feng thought such behavior was ridiculous.

Each city has two separate sets of fusion power reactors.

Even if something bad happens and two sets of fusion power reactors fail at the same time, artificial intelligence can quickly mobilize power from the city next door.

therefore.

Since he was born, he has never seen a power outage.

But now...

Looking at the dark scene outside, Ren Feng took a deep breath.

Grandpa, that’s right.

He subconsciously reached out and pressed the emergency button by the door.

That's the button to ask for help.

He recalled that the line was independently powered.

"Click."

The sound of physical keys rang in my ears.

But the familiar hologram didn't appear.

Ren Feng's heart sank.

Unexpectedly, even this line was out of power.

Ren Feng stood at the gate in confusion, staring blankly at the faint light of the emergency lights in the distance.

What should he do?

…

Time passes bit by bit.

Ren Feng's slow brain gradually started to work.

City central control center!

A name popped into his head.

Although I don’t know what happened, I can’t go wrong by going to the control center and taking a look!

With this thought in mind, he took some stiff steps with difficulty and walked towards the deserted street.

"Uh-huh!"

The sound of a window opening came from the side.

"Dude!"

"You have a flashlight?!"

Ren Feng was frightened by the sudden sound.

He quickly turned his wrist and directed the flashlight's light in the direction of the sound.

"Hey, hey, hey!"

In the strong white light, a young man covered his eyes in pain and shouted loudly: "Brother! Blind! Blind!"

The man had dirty hair and an unkempt beard, looking unkempt.

"Huh? It's you!"

Ren Feng breathed a sigh of relief and quickly turned the flashlight to the other side.

The young man's name is Zhang Zhengqing and he is his neighbor.

A weirdo.

Yes, this is Ren Feng's impression of Zhang Zhengqing.

He doesn't go out all year round. At least, in Ren Feng's impression, the last time this weirdo went out was a few years ago.

Living supplies?

Naturally, it is delivered to your door by a robot.

As for what the other party was doing at home... Ren Feng had no way of knowing.

"Dude, where are you going?"

Zhang Zhengqing grinned, rubbed his eyes, and asked loudly.

Ren Feng came back to his senses, hesitated for a moment and replied: "City Central Control Center."

Zhang Zhengqing's eyes suddenly lit up!

"Control center?!"

"Dude! Take me for a ride!"

Faced with Zhang Zhengqing's request, Ren Feng nodded directly and agreed without any hesitation.

The reason is also very simple.

Walking alone in this dark city always makes me feel a little nervous.

"Wait for me to change clothes!"

Seeing Ren Feng nodding in agreement, Zhang Zhengqing's eyes became more excited and he changed his clothes directly by the window!

"Eh, eh?" Seeing this, Ren Feng quickly moved the flashlight's light farther away, "I said, you don't need to be in such a hurry, right?"

While talking, Zhang Zhengqing had already changed his clothes.

He held up his hands and rolled out of the window.

"Why aren't you in a hurry?"

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

Ren Feng: "???"

"Let's go!" Zhang Zhengqing trotted to Ren Feng's side and pulled Ren Feng hard. "We have to hurry up. Who knows when this thing will return to normal!"

Ren Feng was pulled and staggered.

Looking at the extremely excited Zhang Zhengqing in front of him, Ren Feng suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart: "You... seem to be looking forward to this scene happening?"

Zhang Zhengqing's eyes flashed a little, he nodded vigorously and said: "I have long wanted to visit the central control center!"

"But the door over there is closed, I don't have permission to go in..."

"If it weren't for the fear of those guard robots, the labor and management would have pried open the door no matter what."

Ren Feng: "...???"

Is this what normal people say?

"Are you sure that the door can be pried open?"

Zhang Zhengqing: "..."

"Please don't worry about these details."

…

More than an hour later.

City No. 4 central control center.

Looking at the building without any light in front of him, Ren Feng's eyes showed a bit of worry.

Sure enough, even the central control center lost power.

"What's going on?"

Ren Feng murmured to himself: "Logically speaking, such a situation will basically never happen..."

"It's hard to say." Zhang Zhengqing's voice came from beside him, "If my guess is correct, there should be a malfunction."

"As for the cause of the malfunction..."

"You have to go in and take a look to find out."

"But we can't get in either!" Ren Feng looked at the closed door and shook his head helplessly.

Even without the guard robot, this alloy door cannot be pried open by two ordinary people.

"Hehehe..." Zhang Zhengqing looked at the motionless robot beside the gate, his mouth corners gradually raised, revealing a somewhat crazy smile, "Who said, we are going to go through the gate?"

As he said, he took Ren Feng to quickly bypass the gate and walked towards the side of the building.

A few minutes later.

"Here." Zhang Zhengqing pointed to the ventilation duct in front of him and said softly, "It's here."

"I checked the information. This ventilation duct leads directly to the hall."

Ren Feng: "???"

He subconsciously took a step back: "No, brother..."

"What do you do???"

He admitted that at this moment, he panicked.

Zhang Zhengqing smiled and said: "I, I am just an ordinary otaku."

As he said, he squatted down and got busy.

"You call this an ordinary otaku???"

Looking at Zhang Zhengqing's skillful disassembly of the ventilation duct, Ren Feng asked in a faint tone.

Zhang Zhengqing's movements suddenly paused.

"Have you heard of a technical otaku?"

The moment the voice fell, a crisp sound came from the ventilation duct.

"Click!"

"Okay!" Zhang Zhengqing clapped his hands with a smile, "We should go in."

Ren Feng looked at Zhang Zhengqing in front of him with a frown on his face.

Of course he knew that he was a tech geek.

But!

You are not a normal tech geek either! !

He took a deep breath and calmed down the complaining soul in his heart.

"So, if you have this ability, why do you stay in this small Proxima galaxy?"

Zhang Zhengqing was stunned.

Then he smiled with relief: "Too tired."

"I just want to live an ordinary life."

Ren Feng didn't say anything, but just squatted down silently and got into the slightly spacious ventilation duct.
