Age of Cataclysm: I can light up the technology tree

The line of text directly in front made the atmosphere inside [Earth] a little heavier again.

"Professor, this core..."

Fang Xu's voice came from the side.

Lu Yongchang also had a darker look on his face.

He turned his head and looked at the side window.

Outside the porthole, a starship with a length of just over 300 meters was parked quietly next to the Earth.

Compared with the Earth and other comet-class starships, this starship is extremely inconspicuous.

The starship is not equipped with any weapons, not even a cockpit - the entire ship is controlled by zero.

It does not belong to any formation of the human fleet.

【Isolation ship】

This is its own name.

As the name suggests, its function is simple, isolating the two-dimensional core and the human fleet from each other.

Inside, apart from the fuel depot, fusion reactor and Hall thruster, there is only one huge machine installed.

Two-dimensional debris stabilization device.

But unlike the [Dimensional Attack Ship], this two-dimensional debris stabilizing device does not place ordinary two-dimensional debris.

But it is part of the core of [painting].

Although according to [Hua], the core will not die as quickly as ordinary two-dimensional fragments, Lu Yongchang still built a separate stabilizing device for it.

Even, for safety reasons, the two-dimensional core and stabilizing device are placed in a separate isolation room.

The isolation chamber walls are made of high-strength transparent aluminum material.

Inside the isolation room, there are no circuits or interfaces except for a constant light with its own small nuclear battery.

From a physical sense, it excludes the possibility of invading computer systems through various lines or interfaces.

Outside the isolation room is a larger and more empty cabin.

Dozens of high-precision cameras are placed more than ten meters away from the walls of the isolation room.

These cameras surround the entire isolation chamber, ensuring that the 2D debris stabilization device and the 2D core in the isolation chamber can be observed in real time from all angles.

In addition to these safeguards, Lu Yongchang even placed several plasma bombs in the isolation ship.

An energy weapon that uses high-temperature plasma to cause massive damage.

Once an abnormality is detected, these plasma bombs installed near the fusion reactor will explode directly!

The violent high-temperature plasma flow will tear the entire quarantine ship apart in an instant!

As for whether the two-dimensional core will be affected by this weak offensive...

Come to think of it, no.

But this is already the greatest protective measure that human civilization can take.

According to [Paint], this core will become a beacon, guiding the pastoral civilization that comes to the galaxy.

Lu Yongchang was noncommittal about this statement.

Who knows whether this core will ultimately attract pastoral civilization or sweeper civilization?

However, there is only one thing that can be confirmed.

No matter which civilization it attracts, it is like a time bomb for human civilization.

Not just a ticking time bomb.

Maybe even a monitor.

He didn't believe that a dignified seventh-level civilization could be so stupid and sweet!

He would put all his hopes on the verbal promise of a second-level civilization!

This is impossible both emotionally and rationally.

But even if you know that there is a backhand of [painting] hidden in this so-called two-dimensional core.

Lu Yongchang had nothing to do about it.

He let out a long sigh: "Leave this star system first, and we will discuss the issue of the two-dimensional core... later."

As he spoke, Lu Yongchang stretched his hand across the holographic projection in front of him.

A brilliant star map appeared in front of him.

Ross 154 (top) and Gliese 555 (bottom)

As Lu Yongchang's fingers crossed, countless bright or dark star points flew across quickly.

Finally, the crosshairs landed on a dim point of light.

Gliese555.

Distance: 17.49 light years.

According to the information provided by [Painting], there is a star system where human civilization can rest and live.

Not as good as Earth, not as good as Proxima b, not even as good as Ross 154...

But precisely because of this, very few civilizations have set foot nearby.

"Destination set successfully!"

As Lu Yongchang's finger gently clicked on the cursor, Zero's voice sounded in the command center.

A bright white dotted line slowly extends from the center of the star chart to the location of the cursor.

"Target: Gliese 555; Distance: 17.49 light years; Estimated voyage time: 90 years."

"The starship is about to accelerate. Please enter the deep sea cabin immediately. Repeat, the starship is about to accelerate..."

Lu Yongchang turned to look at Zhao Zijie beside him, smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It seems that we will see you again in 90 years."

Zhao Zijie shrugged: "I hope we don't wake up early."

Lu Yongchang's face froze, and he subconsciously turned his head and glanced at the isolation ship outside the port window of the Earth.

"I hope so."

he murmured heartily.

Then, he stepped into the deep sea cabin.

A few minutes later, the deep-sea hatch was closed, and the light yellow deep-sea liquid slowly rose from the soles of his feet and gradually submerged Lu Yongchang's head.

A powerful recoil force hit him, pressing him firmly against the wall of the deep-sea cabin.

But because of the presence of deep-sea liquid, Lu Yongchang didn't feel much strange.

On the contrary, this familiar feeling even brought him an inexplicable sense of security.

Since rebirth, every star system has contained a faint murderous intent.

Perhaps, only an endless journey can allow human civilization to enjoy a brief peace.

Lv Yongchang sighed silently in his heart, and with the help of the brain wave reading device, he adjusted the holographic image in front of him.

The detector left on Ross 2 slowly changed direction and cast a "gaze" towards Ross 154.

He wanted to witness the death of a two-dimensional creature with his own eyes!

No matter from which aspect, this extremely rare scene will become a valuable asset for human civilization!

...

Ross 154.

The gray "scroll" slowly emerged.

The "scroll" quickly turned an angle and came to the direction facing the human fleet.

Like Lv Yongchang.

[Painting] also wants to witness the departure of the human fleet with his own eyes!

Watching the fleet speed up and gradually move away from the Ross 154 star system, a slight ripple appeared on the surface of the "scroll".

A wave of obscure fluctuations came from it.

"Finally gone..."

"These little guys are really hard to fool."

"But... although the process was a little difficult, the result is good after all."

The gray "scroll" turned an angle again.

This time, it was facing the center of the Milky Way.

"Sweeper..."

"We'll see."

The next moment, [painting] seemed to have discovered the probe left by human civilization on Ross 2.

It chuckled: "Little guy, you are so cautious."

"Since you want to see it so much, I'll show you one..."
