Age of Cataclysm: I can light up the technology tree

The chaos in the laboratory gradually subsided.

Instead, there was a dead silence.

Milo and Maren quietly "lay" on the cold ground, their eyes filled with extremely complicated expressions.

"The verification results are out."

Maren was the first to speak and broke the dead silence in the laboratory: "There is no problem with the detector."

"There is no problem with the calculation results." Milo responded weakly.

"In other words, the star system we observed really lost a planet all of a sudden!" Maren said a little crazy, "This, this is a planet!! How could such a thing happen?!"

Milo was silent for a while, and whispered:

"This is definitely not a natural occurrence."

"Nonsense! How could such a thing happen under natural conditions?!" Maren cursed angrily.

Suddenly, Milo stood up abruptly, controlled the power-assist device and staggered towards the laboratory door.

"Where are you going?!" Maren shouted loudly.

"Go and warn the leader!"

Milo's shout was full of anxiety and uneasiness: "The fleet needs to change course immediately!"

...

Inside the command center.

"Leader!"

A sharp and urgent chirping sound came from a distance, attracting the attention of a creature standing in the center of the command center.

"What happened?!" It asked the visitor in the same sharp voice.

"No, it's not good!"

While shouting in the mouth of the hurried Talodan, he was still frantically controlling the power-assist device, trying to control his forward body.

Bang.

Obviously, it failed.

Having lived in a gravity environment for a long time, it is not very good at controlling these power-assist devices in a zero-gravity environment.

Under the action of inertia, the Talodan was thrown on the deck in front of the Talodan leader.

The round body served as the best protective cushion.

But wrestling in a zero-gravity environment is definitely a dangerous behavior.

Seeing that it was about to fly away, the leader of Talodan quickly stretched out his small claws and grabbed the ball to his side.

"Turn on your stabilizer, Milo!" The leader of Talodan said with a headache, "Fortunately you are just a scientist, otherwise..."

It couldn't even imagine the scene of the commander falling headfirst on the deck on the battlefield.

That scene was really unbearable to watch!

"Thank you, respected Lord Aldan."

Milo, who turned on the stabilizer, stood steadily on the deck. He saluted the leader of Talodan in front of him and respectfully expressed his gratitude.

"Okay, okay, don't worry about these etiquettes at this time." Leader Aldan interrupted Milo's action and asked directly, "What happened?"

"Have those damn invaders caught up again?"

"Damn it!" As he said this, he waved his short claws fiercely, "The size of our fleet has been reduced by 80%!"

"We're going to die anyway, so why not fight them!"

"No, it's not the invaders." Milo waved his claws repeatedly and denied, "It was the detector we sent that found an abnormal situation!"

"Detector?" Aldan's eyes revealed a trace of doubt, "What detector?"

"Have you forgotten? When we were escaping, we sent hundreds of detectors to the target star field." Milo reminded in a shrill voice, "These detectors can help us explore the conditions of various star systems in advance."

Aldan suddenly realized, and then there was a touch of excitement and expectation in his eyes.

"You mean..."

"Did the detector find a habitable star system?"

"No!" Milo denied the leader's words again.

Deep in its eyes, it was filled with deep fear: "The detector sent back a terrifying discovery!"

It trembled slightly, and said again: "A planet disappeared!"

"The planet disappeared?" Aldan looked at the scientist in front of him in confusion, "Why did the planet disappear?"

"I, I don't know..."

Milo's round body trembled like a sieve: "The detector is still 4 light years away from the target star system, and our observation methods are not enough to directly observe such a distant planet."

"We can only use various means to infer the distribution of planets in the star system."

"Just now, the observation data we received was abnormal!"

"It's obviously abnormal!" Milo emphasized again.

It took a deep breath and calmed down the panic in its heart: "Originally, we calculated that there should be 6 planets in that star system."

"But based on the abnormal data just received, we found that there are only 5 planets left in that star system!"

"One less..." Aldan looked at Milo in front of him thoughtfully.

After a moment of silence, it asked softly: "Do you think this is an observation and calculation error, or..."

"No, no, no, it is definitely not an observation and calculation error!" Milo waved his little paws frantically, repeatedly denying the leader's words.

"I think there is only one possibility."

"There is an advanced civilization in that star system!"

Milo looked directly at the leader and said word by word.

"Hiss..."

Aldan took a breath of cold air, and his round body began to tremble slightly.

"What kind of civilization can destroy a planet directly..." Aldan's tone was full of confusion, "Is there really no safe star system in this universe?"

This race of theirs has always advocated peace.

War has always been an extremely distant word for the Talodan civilization.

Therefore, they, lacking war experience and weapons and equipment, fell into such a slump in this war.

It was this war that ruthlessly shattered their fantasy of the universe.

The Talodan civilization, which had lost 80% of its fleet, now viewed alien civilizations as if they were snakes and scorpions, fearing that they would be contaminated by the slightest cause and effect.

In the back, there was the invading fleet that was chasing them relentlessly.

In front, there was an unknown advanced civilization.

It seemed that the Talodan civilization was in a desperate situation.

"Leader, at this point, we can only change our target." Milo said in a heavy tone, "There are hundreds of large and small star systems in the star field ahead of us."

"Please give the order to change the direction of the fleet's navigation!"

"I have selected another star system for you that may have habitable planets!"

As he spoke, Milo pressed a few buttons on the computer beside him, and a new route appeared on the star map.

Leader Aldan was silent for a while.

Then, he sighed deeply: "Send the order, change the direction of the fleet!"
