Age of Cataclysm: I can light up the technology tree

There was dead silence in the conference room.

The expressions on the faces of the scientists at the Academy of Sciences were quite normal.

But the faces of those congressmen had become strange.

In particular, Councilor Wan, who was the first to propose the subsidiary civilization plan, had a look of anxiety on his face.

His lips moved.

But considering Lu Yongchang's identity, his tone had already weakened before the questioning words were spoken.

"Lu, Professor Lu."

"Can you tell me your reasons?"

Lu Yongchang stared deeply at Councilor Wan in front of him.

Facing Lu Yongchang's gaze, Councilor Wan felt like he was sitting on pins and needles!

The originally perfectly ergonomic seat seemed to have grown countless spikes at this moment!

He subconsciously lowered his eyes, withdrew his gaze from Lu Yongchang, and muttered: "Professor Lu, there are many members of the parliament who agree with the approach of subordinate civilization."

Lu Yongchang didn't speak, just turned his head and glanced around slowly.

Just like before, almost all the members avoided his sight.

Councilman Wan, on the other hand, still mustered up the courage to say: "Professor Lu, do you still remember the scene when humans encountered [paintings]?"

"According to [the painting], there are exchanges and alliances between civilizations in the universe."

"You must also understand that two fists are difficult to defeat with four hands."

"Since we have the opportunity to form an alliance led by human civilization, why should we reject this great opportunity?"

Senator Wan's words obviously resonated with many members.

As members of parliament, these politically biased methods are naturally their favorite.

On the one hand, it can enhance the strength of human civilization without losing any blood, and on the other hand, it can create a good image of civilization.

Why not?

Seeing the congressmen whispering to each other and nodding in agreement, Lu Yongchang shook his head helplessly.

"Of course I know the benefits."

"But I still stand by my opinion."

"Professor Lu, why do you..." Councilor Wan asked anxiously.

Councilor Wan did not say the second half of the sentence.

But Lu Yongchang could foresee that it was nothing more than stubborn words.

He did not reply, but stretched out his hand to swipe the holographic image in front of him a few times: "Since both sides insist on their choice, the only way to decide how to deal with the Rathore civilization is through voting."

"Still the same."

"Based on two-thirds of the voting power."

"But..." Lu Yongchang paused, "Before voting, I have a piece of information that I just got."

He added in a serious tone: "This is information from the battleship of the Rathore civilization."

"Human civilization really has no experience in this area, so we might as well learn from the Rathore civilization's approach to other civilizations."

As soon as he finished speaking, Councilor Wan's eyelids jumped suddenly.

He took a quick glance at the holographic projection that appeared in front of him at some point.

Lines of chronicle-like text made him feel a little uneasy.

Could it be that... this Rathore civilization did something extraordinary?

…

In the conference room, everyone frowned and flipped through the materials in front of them.

Shocking lines of text caught their eyes!

The entire history of the extinction of 174 civilizations has created this "deformed" Latour civilization in front of us!

"incredible……"

"This Rathore civilization is simply an executioner!"

"Outrageous!"

"..."

For a moment, there were waves of low curses in the conference room.

"Tuk-tuk-tuk."

Lu Yongchang's index finger knuckle gently tapped on the conference table in front of him, making a crisp sound.

The noise quickly disappeared.

"I believe you have all read the information."

"The vote now begins."

Lu Yongchang didn't say any nonsense and directly started the final voting session.

A huge holographic projection quickly unfolded directly above the conference table.

"Plan for Disposal of Prisoners of War of Lator Civilization"

Below the huge Chinese characters are two conspicuous options.

For one, the color is bright red, which means genocide.

Second, blue means using gentle means to transform the Rathore civilization into a subsidiary civilization of human beings.

At the same time, a small holographic voting interface appeared in front of each participant.

Voting begins.

In just a few seconds, a large area of ​​bright red appeared on the conference table!

Almost everyone voted for the genocide option without hesitation!

Time passed by minute by minute.

As the last person cast his vote, the entire voting session ended.

Lu Yongchang glanced at the holographic image above the conference table.

The statistical results appear just right in front of everyone's eyes.

The extermination plan captured 98.1% of the votes.

There was no trace of surprise on Lu Yongchang's face.

After reading that information, I guess normal people would choose the extermination plan.

On the one hand, everyone knows that the Rathore civilization that exterminated 174 civilizations is definitely not a good thing.

Not to mention using it for your own use.

Just don’t turn around and stab human civilization on the battlefield then, just think about it!

On the other hand, this information about the Rathore civilization gave these congressmen a deep understanding of the cruelty of the universe.

At least, the universe that humans see now is extremely cruel.

The "fantasy" that [Painting] brought to them was also mostly broken at this moment.

Of course, in the background data in front of Lv Yongchang, all members of the Academy of Sciences chose the extinction plan.

As for those members who chose gentle means...

Lv Yongchang didn't care much.

It's normal.

No matter when, there will be "gentle" people in human civilization.

As long as it does not affect the normal development of human civilization, in Lv Yongchang's view, the existence of these people is beneficial to human civilization.

"The voting results are out."

"I declare that the extinction plan will be launched in one hour!"

Lv Yongchang solemnly announced the end of the Latour civilization.

After speaking, he gave a hidden look to Hong Qiming beside him.

"Ahem!"

"Let me say a few words." Hong Qiming coughed lightly and said softly, "Some members of the parliament don't need to be too disappointed."

"Latour civilization is an exception after all."

"Human civilization cannot take such a big risk and form an alliance with a bloodthirsty civilization. This is irresponsible to billions of humans!"

"Of course!" Hong Qiming changed the subject, "We can't kill with one blow and completely rule out the possibility of forming a civilization alliance headed by human civilization."

"In the future, when human civilization is strong enough, there may be a chance to form an alliance with some like-minded civilizations."

Hong Qiming's words made many members of the parliament feel relieved.
