Age of Cataclysm: I can light up the technology tree

[Nus]'s silence gradually calmed the originally high atmosphere in the laboratory.

"Professor, is this problem too difficult for those lost giant trees?"

Mao Zhengzhi asked with some worry: "So far, no observation equipment for the universe has been found on the Lost Star."

"They..."

[Kukukan disappeared, right? ]

A message appeared in the holographic projection, interrupting Mao Zhengzhi's words.

Next to the message, there was a note provided by Zero.

[Kukukan]: suspected to be the name of the main star by [Nus].

Lv Yongchang pondered for a moment and asked again: [Do you know why it disappeared? ]

[Nus]'s response soon appeared.

[No, I don't know. ]

[On the day when Kukukan disappeared, there was a great panic within the civilization. ]

[But a huge disk that was no weaker than Kukukan soon appeared in the sky, which reduced the panic within the civilization a lot. ]

[Although the living environment has changed, the large amount of energy it releases allows us to continue to survive. 】

【However, I recently discovered a terrifying phenomenon - the energy released by the disk is gradually decreasing. In order to maintain enough energy, I have to start hunting again. 】

【This is also a major reason why I offended you at that time. 】

Looking at the lines of text in the holographic projection, Lu Yongchang fell into deep thought.

【Nus】's words are actually easy to understand.

The so-called Kukukan did not rise, in fact, the main star was captured by the small black hole.

As for the huge disk that is not weaker than Kukukan, it is naturally a huge accretion disk formed by the remains of the main star.

The reason why the energy released by the disk is gradually decreasing is also very simple - the small black hole is swallowing the matter in the accretion disk at a very fast speed.

According to calculations, in more than a thousand years, the accretion disk of this black hole will completely disappear.

And the creatures on the Lost Star will not last until this time.

As the radiation intensity gradually decreases, about two hundred years later, the scale of the Lost Giant Tree will continue to decline due to energy problems until it completely disappears.

Lv Yongchang flicked his fingers and sent all the information about the Lost Star to [Nus].

There was another long silence.

[So that's it...]

[So we are doomed to perish, right? ]

The message from [Nus] was very plain.

Looking at these two short messages, Lv Yongchang sighed again and gave his answer.

[Yes. ]

Almost without any pause, [Nus]'s response appeared in front of everyone.

[If, I am willing to become a subsidiary civilization of human civilization...]

[Can you help us solve this crisis? ]

A burst of discussion suddenly sounded in the laboratory.

Lv Yongchang also narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at the text in the holographic projection with a serious look.

To be honest, Lv Yongchang did have this thought in mind at the beginning.

In his opinion, the development potential of the Lost Giant Tree civilization is very high.

Especially the technology they have mastered in consciousness.

Whether it is consciousness interconnection or consciousness fusion, each one is a bug-like ability.

In this case, it seems to be a good choice to make it a subordinate civilization.

But after really understanding the Lost Giant Tree, he hesitated.

"Professor, are you worried that the other party is out of our control?" Mao Zhengzhi's voice came from the side.

Lu Yongchang nodded solemnly.

"Yes."

"From the performance just now, it can grasp the basic information we transmit at a very fast speed."

"This means that the research efficiency of cluster consciousness is extremely terrifying."

"If it is made a subordinate civilization, I am worried that there may be some unexpected situations in the future."

"Of course, this is only part of the reason."

"The more important reason... we don't have a good way to help them solve this crisis."

Hearing this, Mao Zhengzhi couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Indeed.

Although today's human civilization cannot play with stars like the Sweeper Civilization and the Pastoral Civilization.

But for a small planet, human civilization still has many means to use.

If they don't consider any factors, just rely on stacking antimatter engines, they can also push the Lost Star away from its original orbit and take it to a suitable star system.

But...

This is obviously unrealistic.

Not to mention the speed of navigation, crustal movement, and whether the giant tree can survive, the huge amount of antimatter consumed in this process alone is not something that humans can bear now.

So, he moved his fingers slightly and sent a line of information.

[Sorry. ]

[Your body is too big, almost covering the entire Lost Star. ]

[Even we can't take the Lost Star away while ensuring your safety. ]

[Nus] seemed to have noticed the hidden meaning in this message. After a moment of silence, it sent a new message again.

[Respected human civilization. ]

[You don't need to take me away, just take that lucky child away. ]

...

[Nus]'s proposal shocked all the academicians of the Academy of Sciences present.

Lv Yongchang was naturally one of them.

"Professor, this..."

Mao Zhengzhi's voice came from the side: "This may be a good plan."

"But, in terms of the network of thoughts..."

Lv Yongchang couldn't help but fall into silence.

Mao Zhengzhi's worries were also his concerns.

For humans, only the lost giant trees that have formed a collective consciousness have the greatest research value.

Lv Yongchang hesitated for a moment and simply raised his doubts directly to [Nus].

[You don't have to worry about this problem. ]

[I can provide you with a new network of thoughts core. ]

[It can guide the child to form a new network of thoughts. ]

[As for the cultivation of the tribe... This should not be a big problem for you, right? ]

Although he knew that the other party could not see his expression, Lv Yongchang still couldn't help showing a slightly embarrassed smile.

The one in the biological laboratory was not obtained by any legitimate means.

Especially thinking of his behavior of coaxing it like coaxing a child not long ago.

The embarrassment on Lv Yongchang's face became more intense.

He coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment.

[Just do it according to your method. 】

【Nus】 sent a response message without any hesitation.

【Thank you for your generosity, human civilization is a great civilization. 】

【I wish your civilization can exist in this universe for a long time. 】

【From now on, Nus civilization voluntarily becomes a human-affiliated civilization. 】

【I will start making a new network core immediately. 】

【This will take a lot of time, please understand. 】
