Age of Cataclysm: I can light up the technology tree

A few lines of white text slowly emerged in the azure holographic projection.

In the command center of Earth, everyone subconsciously held their breath.

The assessment has been completed, and the visitor permission has been opened.

Will the relics left by this advanced civilization finally be fully exposed to human civilization?

Thinking of this, Lv Yongchang looked at the holographic projection in front of him with full expectation.

In the projection, the perspective of the scientific research robot was clearly presented.

The orange-yellow light flickered like breathing, and the originally closed door slowly opened under the action of the force field.

More and more dense fog surged out of it, gently hitting the scientific research robot and other mechanical devices waiting quietly in place.

As the orange-yellow light gradually stabilized, a beam of light similar to the holographic projection was clearly reflected in the dense fog.

It was a ripple pattern, which looked like some kind of floating object floating freely in the atmosphere.

Its brightness and darkness kept changing, creating a floating visual effect.

The pattern is very large.

It covers almost all areas within ten meters of the surface.

From the perspective of the scientific research robot, these ripples floating up and down and drifting in the air are like rippling water waves, floating slowly around them.

Even if the robot does not move at all, it gives people the illusion that they are moving forward.

Although no one in the command center has ever seen such a scene, and even the meaning of this pattern is not marked in the dictionary sent by [Ten], everyone present still understood this pattern at the first time.

This is a signpost.

Just like the arrow sign used by human civilization, it is guiding the scientific research robot in the direction of travel.

It's just...

Lv Yongchang looked at the picture in the holographic projection, and the corners of his mouth twitched twice.

It's just pointing the way... Is it necessary to make such a big fuss?

But when he thought of the huge technological debris in the first two areas, he was relieved again.

If the Tenth Empire civilization individuals are very large, then these patterns that seem to be so impressive to humans may really be just some inconspicuous small icons on the ground in the eyes of the other party.

Looking at the ripples that seemed to be urging him, Lv Yongchang stopped thinking too much and directly gave the order to move forward.

Under Zero's remote control, the research robot that had been staying in place took another step forward.

...

Time passed slowly.

Under the guidance of the immersive ripple signposts, the research robot walked through one area after another.

The micro-drone also took this opportunity to complete the exploration and modeling of each area.

What surprised Lv Yongchang was that the Level I artificial intelligence [Ten] did not make any statement about the micro-drone's wanton exploration and modeling behavior.

This is very abnormal.

How can you let the guests search every corner of the house at will?

Unless...

This house has been completely emptied long ago.

The drone's modeling also confirmed Lv Yongchang's conjecture.

Like the [Strong Interaction Material Manufacturing Area], almost all areas were left with various empty shells - all valuable things were moved away.

For this, [Ten] gave an explanation.

Before leaving, the Empire took away all valuable items and devices. 】

This explanation made Lv Yongchang feel a bit complicated.

It turned out that he was right.

Those space rift cutting devices on the outermost periphery were really some "worthless" waste.

"Leave?"

Lv Yongchang asked [Ten]: "Why leave?"

[The Milky Way is too small. ]

[Ten] responded like this.

Looking at the line of text in the holographic projection, Lv Yongchang's heart was shocked.

After a moment of silence, he once again raised his assessment of the strength of [The Tenth Empire].

"[The Tenth Empire]... What level of civilization is it?"

He asked tentatively.

Time passed by, and [Ten] did not respond to his inquiry.

It is normal for such a question to not get a response.

Lv Yongchang smiled and shook his head. Just as he was about to skip this question, a line of white text slowly appeared in the holographic projection.

[When leaving, it was a level 7 peak civilization. ]

[The current level of civilization... is unknown. 】

【One hundred thousand years ago, the mother star fortress completely lost contact with the empire. 】

"Hiss..."

In the command center, there was a sudden gasp.

Although they had expected it, everyone was still shocked when they saw this answer.

Lv Yongchang calmed down and asked while the iron was hot: "When did the empire leave?"

This time, [Ten] quickly gave the answer.

【Two hundred and fifty thousand years ago, the empire's expedition plan was officially established. 】

【Two hundred and one thousand years ago, after four hundred thousand years of preparation, the empire officially set sail and left the Milky Way through the Milky Way-Andromeda Bridge. The target: Andromeda Galaxy. 】

"Hiss!!!"

This time, even Lv Yongchang took a breath.

Twenty-one thousand years ago was the peak civilization of level seven.

So now...

He didn't dare to think about it any further.

Suddenly, he noticed a sensitive time point in this information.

"Two hundred and one thousand years ago?"

After pondering for a moment, he asked [Ten] again: "Is it before the supernova explosion?"

Both the detection data of human civilization and the data of Enroget civilization have sufficient evidence to prove that this nebula was produced 200,000 years ago.

In other words, this vigorous supernova explosion occurred 200,000 years ago, that is, 10,000 years after [The Tenth Empire] left!

If there is no necessary connection between the two...

At least Lu Yongchang doesn't believe it.

[Yes. ]

Perhaps because human civilization passed the assessment, or because they were judged to be [silicon-based creatures], [Ten] patiently answered the questions raised by Lu Yongchang.

[The Empire made an accurate prediction of the time of the supernova explosion. ]

[Twenty-five thousand years ago, when the Empire determined the expedition plan, it also tried to save the mother planet. ]

[At first, the Empire decided to take the mother planet to the Andromeda Galaxy. ]

[But considering the long journey and the huge energy consumption, the Empire gave up this plan. ]

[In the end, the project evolved into a mother planet defense plan. 】

【That is the planetary fortress you are currently seeing. 】

【The mother planet wrapped by the planetary fortress successfully resisted the supernova explosion. 】

In the holographic projection, the translated text appeared little by little.

Whether it was leading the mother planet to the Andromeda Galaxy or building a fortress to resist the supernova explosion at close range...

Every line of text deeply shocked the hearts of everyone present.
