Age of Cataclysm: I can light up the technology tree

The extremely bright explosion flames gradually dissipated.

The deep black marks gradually disappeared.

At the edge of the Milky Way, which was already extremely sparse in materials, a real vacuum area appeared directly at this time.

Although the explosion has ended, the spherical battleships that caused the explosion still stay in place as if facing a powerful enemy.

Time passes minute by minute.

An infinitely extending thin line slowly emerges from the vacuum area.

The moment the thin line appeared, it stretched straight towards one of the spherical battleships.

With the extremely dazzling light, the shape of this spherical battleship continued to elongate, and its width and height quickly disappeared until it turned into an infinitely extending silver-white thin line.

Under the influence of its own gravity, this extremely long silver-white thread quickly gathered together and became a silver-white thread, quietly suspended in the universe.

At the same time, on the side, among the gray shadows, a constantly twisting spherical-like structure slowly emerged.

Then, this spherical structure directly hit a spherical battleship.

The next moment.

Several creatures with six slender tentacles suddenly appeared outside the spherical battleship.

They writhe painfully in the vacuum.

Next to them are various parts inside the spherical battleship.

As for the spherical battleship that was attacked, it had become an empty shell at this time, floating quietly next to these "space junks".

The war begins.

Without any communication, the moment the identities of the two sides were determined, the war entered a white-hot stage.

This war was strange from the beginning.

Whether it was a sudden explosion or various unexpected attack methods, every place was filled with a strong and strange atmosphere.

…

Far away in the Gliese 555 star system on the other side of the Milky Way.

【Earth】.

Lu Yongchang sat in his office, silently looking at the universe outside the porthole window.

Needless to say, extremely distant stars, even the nearest Gliese 555, cannot illuminate this extremely dark space.

He frowned and thought carefully.

As time went by, his thinking gradually became clearer.

"Yongchang..."

Fang Xu's weak voice came from the seat next to him.

Lu Yongchang sighed slightly and said softly:

"Whether it is a sweeper civilization or a pastoral civilization, their primary purpose is actually two-dimensional fragments in the hands of human civilization."

"As for those subsidiary civilizations that have no self-thought, let alone say more, they are nothing more than slaves following the sweeper civilization."

Thinking of the constant prayer posture of Bosa civilization, Lu Yongchang sneered disdainfully.

For an interstellar civilization that has reached this point, it would be better to become extinct!

"Then..." Fang Xu's face changed slightly and he lowered his voice, "The remaining two-dimensional fragments..."

Lu Yongchang shook his head, shook those disgusting images out of his mind, and then continued to think.

Needless to say, the sweepers are civilized.

According to [Hua], he has been looking for two-dimensional creatures for a long time. Although the reason is not clear, it must be related to dimensional technology.

As a result, human civilization with two-dimensional fragments in its hands has naturally become its primary target.

Pastoral civilization...

Although it is possible that they want to avenge [the painting], with the sweeper civilization, their primary goal is easy to guess.

It is nothing more than getting the two-dimensional fragments before the sweeper civilization, or preventing the sweeper civilization from getting the two-dimensional fragments.

From this point of view, the path that human civilization should take is very clear.

"Throw it away."

Lu Yongchang said with a pained face: "It is not a good thing for these two-dimensional fragments to be in human hands."

"But you can't just throw it away."

Lu Yongchang looked at the side window in confusion and murmured softly: "Just throwing it into the universe will definitely not work."

"First, these two-dimensional pieces had to be used to create a massive scene."

The reason... naturally attracted the attention of the sweeper civilization and the pastoral civilization.

The best solution is to use these two-dimensional fragments to two-dimensionalize a star.

In the process of two-dimensionalization of stars, extremely powerful energy fluctuations and dimensional fluctuations are bound to occur.

These abnormal phenomena will definitely attract the attention of higher civilizations.

Lu Yongchang subconsciously entered a series of data into the holographic projection.

The calculation results are out.

Not enough.

Thirty two-dimensional fragments cannot carry out a two-dimensional attack on the star.

"A planet..." Lu Yongchang tapped his knuckles on the desk and murmured in a low voice.

It's not difficult.

There are many planets in the Gliese 555 star system.

"No." Lu Yongchang seemed to have remembered something, his eyes flashed with fear, "Not enough, this is not enough!"

Fang Xu said nothing, but looked at Lu Yongchang with confusion.

"Just two-dimensionalizing an ordinary planet will at most distract the attention of the sweeper civilization."

"There is also pastoral civilization!"

“Don’t forget to [paint] the message before your death!”

Fang Xu's expression suddenly changed.

Yes, other advanced civilizations may not believe the message sent by [Painting], but the Pastoralists will definitely continue to pay attention to human civilization!

"Cut off the tail to survive." Lu Yongchang closed his eyes tightly, trembling slightly, and squeezed out four syllables through his teeth.

Fang Xu's eyes suddenly widened.

He understood the meaning of Lu Yongchang's words.

Abandon some of humanity!

Let part of human civilization turn into a huge picture!

Let those advanced civilizations believe that human civilization has died!

Only in this way can the remaining human beings barely have the qualifications to survive!

Like Lu Yongchang, at that moment, Fang Xu's body began to tremble.

A deep fear emerged from his eyes.

Opposition words spewed from his belly, but they stuck in his throat.

After a brief silence, he asked hoarsely with trembling teeth.

"How many people are needed?"

"A lot. The Pastoralists are not fools. If you want to deceive them..." Lu Yongchang repeated again, "You need a lot of people!"

"Where's the candidate?"

"……I have no idea."

"This is a crime! No matter who you choose, this is a crime!" Fang Xu lowered his voice and shouted in a low voice!

"I know, of course I know this is a crime." Lu Yongchang raised his hands to cover his eyes and said with pain on his face, "But this may be the only way to survive."

Fang Xu let out a long breath and slumped down in his seat.

"Yes, yes, this may be the only way to survive."

"This damn universe..."

Like Lu Yongchang, he also turned to look at the side window.

The eyes reflected endless fear!
