Age of Cataclysm: I can light up the technology tree

"Ouch!"

"This is a ternary optical quantum computer!"

As soon as he got into the central control center, Zhang Zhengqing "grabbed" the flashlight, quickly ran to the door of a room, and looked at the internal scene through the glass curtain wall in front of him.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk."

"It's so beautiful!"

Ren Feng walked quickly behind him and followed his line of sight and looked in.

Cold components.

He couldn't understand the beauty in Zhang Zhengqing's mouth.

"Let's get down to business."

Ren Feng urged helplessly: "When you came here, you said you could find the reason."

Zhang Zhengqing reluctantly withdrew his gaze, smacked his lips lightly and said, "Don't worry, I'll go check it out right away."

As he spoke, he glanced around with the flashlight in his hand.

"The top priority now is to restore power to the central control hall."

"Restore power?" Ren Feng couldn't help but be stunned, "What are you going to do?"

"I have checked the information before." Zhang Zhengqing chuckled, "The central control center has an independent temporary power generation device."

"It is estimated that this time it is completely down."

"Otherwise, it won't be our turn to come in."

Ren Feng: "..."

Can this thing be found? !

"You stay here, don't move around." Zhang Zhengqing straightened his expression, "I'll buy you some oranges."

The corners of Ren Feng's mouth twitched slightly.

Do you really think he doesn't understand this sentence? !

"I'll just take two and give you the rest."

Without any hesitation, he responded directly.

Zhang Zhengqing's eyes lit up: "You still want to eat two? You can soak the orange peel in some water and drink it."

Ren Feng responded tit for tat: "Lu Xun once said that there is no such thing as four generations living under the same roof."

"You actually know this joke?!"

Zhang Zhengqing, who was exposed, was not embarrassed. He laughed and said, "This is an old joke from more than two hundred years ago!"

Ren Feng shrugged.

"Before discussing ancient culture, you should turn on the temporary generator first."

…

More than ten minutes later.

A slight buzzing sound came from the side.

Bright lights once again filled the entire central control center.

Ren Feng, who was used to the darkness, subconsciously reached out and covered his eyes.

At this moment, he also felt what Zhang Zhengqing felt not long ago.

"How about it, should I hold it in my mouth?"

Before he could adapt to the light, Zhang Zhengqing's mean voice came from the side.

Ren Feng opened his eyes with difficulty and subconsciously wanted to retort, but he saw Zhang Zhengqing standing in front of the console with a solemn expression.

He silently swallowed the words that came to his lips.

"What are you going to do now?"

Zhang Zhengqing did not look back and looked seriously at the console in front of him.

"Next, start the optical quantum computer first, and then try to get in touch with other cities."

"I don't know what the situation is in City No. 1..."

Zhang Zhengqing muttered in a low voice: "It's been so long, hasn't it been possible to get in touch with the human fleet?"

"Obviously as long as Zero takes action, these problems can be solved..."

"Wait, wait!" Ren Feng felt a little dizzy for a moment, "Let's take it step by step. Can you start this optical quantum computer?"

"...No way." Zhang Zhengqing responded confidently, "I'm just an ordinary person, how can I operate this thing?"

Ren Feng: "..."

There were so many things he wanted to complain about that he didn't know where to start!

"Don't worry."

Zhang Zhengqing waved his hand and said: "This thing is the same as what is learned today."

As he spoke, he took out a brick-like emergency response guide from the cabinet under the console.

Looking at Zhang Zhengqing who was reading seriously, Ren Feng suddenly felt a little tired.

Is this guy... really reliable?

…

at this time.

In the Ross 154 star system, 8.24 light-years away from Proxima Centauri b, the human fleet is facing the greatest crisis in history.

The appearance of [Painting] made Zero stop all unnecessary work.

Including distress signals constantly coming from the direction of Proxima Centauri.

…

Proxima Centauri b synchronous orbit.

Dozens of satellites turned into wreckage, floating quietly in orbit, as if they had been attacked by something.

The camera keeps looking down.

Huge hemispherical buildings stand on the surface of Proxima b. Each hemispherical building is connected by several orbits.

That's the Proxima b city cluster.

A huge pit appeared on the periphery of the hemispherical building located in the center.

Even the extremely solid hemispherical building was a little incomplete.

The camera continues to zoom in.

In the damaged areas, the ground was covered with broken steel bars and alloy fragments.

You can even see some broken limbs and dark brown blood stains.

The thick yellow atmosphere continued to flow into City No. 1 through this huge hole.

Fortunately, a large air-tight facility has been built not far from the hole.

It is said to be an airtight facility, but it is actually a huge "balloon" made of carbon nanotube material.

After being inflated, the large "balloon" successfully plugged the leaking hole.

…

"ha!"

"Success!"

I don't know how long it took, but Ren Feng, who was sitting beside him drowsily, was awakened by a cry full of joy.

He raised his head suddenly and looked warily in the direction of the sound.

In front of the console, Zhang Zhengqing's face was filled with joy.

In the machine room not far away, lasers flashed.

A huge holographic image slowly appeared above the console.

"Fuck!"

Seeing this, Ren Feng suddenly jumped up and said a Chinese quintessence: "You TM, this is OK?!"

Zhang Zhengqing waved his hand "casually", but the corners of his mouth kept rising: "Hey! What are you talking about?"

"Such a small matter is just a drop of water for me!"

"It's just a quantum computer. Give me a manual and I'll drive a starship for you to see!"

"..."Ren Feng looked at Zhang Zhengqing with a strange face.

It's passed, it's passed!

"Cough!"

Perhaps he noticed Ren Feng's strange look, and Zhang Zhengqing coughed awkwardly: "Now, let's try to contact other cities first."

As he said, he stretched out his hand and pressed on the holographic projection in front of him.

As for Ren Feng, he could only wait silently.

Looking at Zhang Zhengqing's fingers jumping quickly, Ren Feng's eyes showed a thoughtful look.

Am I... too useless?

Perhaps, grandpa is right.

He should find a chance to go to City No. 1.

"The situation is not good."

Zhang Zhengqing's tone was a little heavy.

"Huh?" Ren Feng's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly asked, "What's going on?"

Zhang Zhengqing shook his head, and the improper smile on his face completely disappeared.

"At present, in addition to City No. 1, only City No. 4 is online."

"That is to say, after so much time, other cities have not even restored the central control center."

"Then contact City No. 1 first!" Ren Feng shouted anxiously.

"I tried."

"The other side has not responded yet."

Zhang Zhengqing sighed deeply: "But the most serious problem is not this."

"The air circulation device is shut down."
