Age of Cataclysm: I can light up the technology tree

Virgo Supercluster, Local Group, Triangulum Galaxy.

As the third largest galaxy in the Local Group, the Triangulum Galaxy, with a diameter of 60,000 light years, has bred many civilizations.

The two-dimensional creature [Painting], as one of the best, followed the [outsiders] billions of years ago and embarked on the [Galaxy Bridge] and the road to leave his hometown.

The so-called [Galaxy Bridge] is a long "bridge" built between the Triangulum Galaxy and the Andromeda Galaxy, constructed by clumps of neutral hydrogen atoms.

[Galaxy Bridge] appeared five billion years ago. The reason for its formation is unclear. It is initially speculated that it is a means of high-level civilization, and the purpose is unknown.

Recently, [Galaxy Bridge] has been flashing abnormally, and the reason is unknown.

Triangulum Galaxy

The above content is excerpted from the Chronicle of the Triangulum Galaxy.

…

Near the central black hole of the Triangulum Galaxy.

A ball of "silk thread" twists freely in the empty space as if it has its own consciousness.

The huge gravitational force of the central black hole seems to have no effect on it.

The silk thread is extremely long.

The diameter of the silk thread ball even reached a huge light-year.

If a civilization used detection instruments to detect this ball of "silk thread", they would be surprised to find that this ball of silk thread had no so-called height and width.

There was only the concept of length on it.

It was even impossible to find the starting point and end point of this ball of "silk thread", as if it was an infinitely extended thin thread!

An obscure wave came from infinite distance, making the twisting movement of this ball of [silk thread] stiff for a moment.

In the space next to the ball of silk thread, a "shadow" appeared.

A wave of the same nature came from the "shadow".

"[Silk], do you feel it?"

The next moment, the twisted "silk thread" also sent out a wave of the same obscure wave.

"Felt it."

"【Hua】 is dead, and our power has been weakened again."

"The Sweeper civilization is too powerful, even in a remote area like the Milky Way, it has such a powerful force." The message sent by 【Silk】 was full of frustration and helplessness, "We may fail."

"No, feel it carefully." The message came again from the shadow, "【Hua】 encrypted the message."

"..."

After a period of silence, the ball of silk began to twist again.

"Yes, you are right!"

"【Hua】 is not dead!"

This time, the message sent by 【Silk】 was full of joy: "It is implementing its plan!"

"Yes!" The obscure fluctuations in the shadow became stronger, "Maybe, we will not have to shrink in this small corner soon!"

The twisting amplitude of the silk thread became larger.

"Wait and have hope!"

The next moment, the shadow dissipated, and the twisting amplitude of the silk thread gradually decreased.

The central black hole area of ​​the Triangulum Galaxy once again returned to its original silence.

...

Milky Way, Orion Arm, Ross 154 Star System

A spherical probe suddenly appeared on the outskirts of the star system.

The probe was dark gray and smooth, with no cracks or gaps on the surface.

[Probe No. 912133165 has left the curvature state and successfully arrived at the destination]

A message was sent to the central area of ​​the Milky Way at superluminal speed.

Without any power source visible to the naked eye, this spherical probe suddenly accelerated to 10% of the speed of light and flew straight towards Ross 154.

It is called a star system, but it is not.

Ross 154, which has become a black dwarf, has lost most of its mass and is no longer able to maintain the existence of the original star system.

There is only one lonely black dwarf left in the entire star system.

The dark gray spherical probe quickly arrived at its destination.

It quickly rotated around the black dwarf several times, as if looking at this long-dead star.

[No trace of the target has been found yet, and the dimensional analysis device is ready to be activated. ]

Another message was sent to the central area of ​​the Milky Way.

The next moment, a crack appeared on the side of the spherical detector.

Hundreds of small detectors emerged from the crack.

These small detectors quickly flew towards Ross 154 and "wrapped" it.

Then, each small detector emitted a bright green light.

These green lights connected to each other to form a huge cube.

In the cube, Ross 154 turned into a black dwarf.

[Drip]

[Dimensional analysis device activated]

[Spatial curvature detection...]

[Dimensional stability detection...]

[Warning! Dimensional stability in the current area is abnormal! ]

...

The central area of ​​the Milky Way.

Inside the Sweeper artificial planet.

"Sir! Dimensional stability has been found to be abnormal!"

"Dimensional rise and fall phenomena have occurred in this area." The subordinate's voice was full of excitement: "You are right, it is the behavior of [Painting]!"

Sweeper 9527 had already sat up straight, and his visual organs were staring at the several light screens in front of him.

His tentacles danced quickly, operating all the light screens in front of him at the same time.

"It has been confirmed that there has been a dimensionality increase phenomenon near a black dwarf."

When Sweeper 9527 said this, he was stunned.

"Dimensional increase phenomenon? How could it be a dimensional increase phenomenon?" He looked through the data on the screen in disbelief and muttered to himself.

The subordinates beside him also looked at the detection data on the screen in surprise: "Dimensional increase?"

"Isn't [Hua] a two-dimensional creature? How could there be a phenomenon of dimensional upgrading?"

Sweeper 9527 was silent for a moment, and squeezed out a sentence with difficulty: "Of course there will be dimensional upgrading."

"Since the development of the universe, three dimensions, as the most stable dimension, have an extremely strong assimilation effect on other dimensions."

"This is also the most uncomfortable point for dimensional civilization."

"They need to consume a lot of energy to resist the assimilation of the universe and maintain their own dimensions."

"That's why they think about restoring the universe to the pastoral era all day long."

The subordinate suddenly realized something, his tentacles stiffened, and he exclaimed: "You, you mean..."

"Yes." Sweeper 9527 slowly closed his visual organs, "[Hua] is dead."

"Dead [Hua] is unable to maintain its two-dimensional state, and only in this way will there be a phenomenon of dimensional upgrading here."

Sweeper 9527 was full of confusion.

[Hua] is dead, so what should he do with his mission?

The mother civilization is making every effort to conquer two-dimensional technology, just waiting to analyze [Hua]'s body!

How should he report to the mother civilization?

Two-dimensional creature [drawing], dead, cause of death unknown?

What a joke!

"No! I don't believe it!" He growled, "How could a two-dimensional creature, a level 7 civilization, die so easily?!"

"Tear up this black dwarf and check it for me!"

"I want to know the exact time when the dimensionality-raising phenomenon occurs!"
