Age of Cataclysm: I can light up the technology tree

Under the cover of the projection, the scientific research robot seemed to have really become a "rock" protruding from the floating land - those silicon-based jellyfish did not notice the existence of the scientific research robot at all.

They stood on the floating land, quietly gazing at the group of silicon-based jellyfish in the distance.

Various sensors quickly transmitted the detected data to [Earth].

Silicon-based jellyfish, average total height 3.65 meters.

Average tentacle length 3 meters.

Average "head" height 0.65 meters.

They are much taller than humans, but compared with the civilized individuals of the Tenth Empire, they are still as small as pets.

The information of [Ten] came again.

[Ten descendants, this is the name I gave them. ]

Lv Yongchang's eyes moved slightly.

The superficial meaning of the name is easy to understand, the descendants of the Tenth Empire, referred to as Ten descendants.

But the deeper meaning of the name seems a bit meaningful.

Descendants.

This weak artificial intelligence actually regarded these silicon-based jellyfish as descendants of the Tenth Empire!

At this moment, even if the civilization level of these silicon-based jellyfish is equivalent to that of humans in the Stone Age, in the eyes of this weak artificial intelligence named [Ten], their importance is probably much higher than that of human civilization.

Let alone human civilization.

Lv Yongchang believes that even a level 6 civilization, in the eyes of the fortress artificial intelligence, has a lower priority than that group of jellyfish!

"Reincarnation is indeed a technical job!"

He couldn't help but sigh.

Fang Xu nodded seriously: "Yes, with the guidance of this weak artificial intelligence, this group of silicon-based jellyfish can avoid too many detours."

Lv Yongchang hesitated.

Taking fewer detours on the road of civilization development is actually nothing.

Human civilization has not taken too many detours.

The most important point is that they are destined to be difficult or not encounter threats from higher civilizations when they grow up under the "umbrella of protection".

Who dares to provoke a civilization that is suspected to be the descendant of level 8 civilization? !

Are you tired of living?

Lv Yongchang took a deep breath. At this time, he had vaguely realized the purpose of [Ten]'s abnormal behavior before.

If nothing unexpected happens, it should be related to the group of silicon-based jellyfish in front of him.

So, he asked [Ten] again.

"Didn't the Empire take them with it when it left?"

When it comes to [Ten Descendants], [Ten]'s response seems to be particularly quick.

[At that time, they had not yet evolved wisdom. ]

[Ten thousand years ago, during the daily inspection of the status of the mother planet, I found that they had elementary wisdom. ]

[They used the broken floating land fragments to make the simplest tools. ]

[At the same time, they developed a unique and lasting curiosity about the various devices left by the Empire. ]

Lv Yongchang's face suddenly showed a surprised expression.

Ten thousand years.

It only took ten thousand years to develop from elementary wisdom to the Stone Age...

This speed is much faster than humans!

Is this the natural advantage of silicon-based creatures? !

The communication method of these jellyfish is still the "inefficient" micro-current communication. What kind of development speed should the [Tenth Empire], which has mastered electromagnetic wave communication since its birth, have...

It's hard to imagine.

He swallowed his saliva and suppressed the shock in his heart.

The information of [Ten] did not end, and it continued to appear in the holographic projection at a constant speed.

[According to the Imperial Intelligent Life Protection Act, the protection level of primary intelligent creatures is limited to maintaining their living environment. ]

[But as time goes by, the evolution speed of the Tenth Descendants is getting faster and faster, and they have medium intelligence. ]

[This is a very rare phenomenon. ]

Lu Yongchang nodded thoughtfully.

It's easy to understand.

Most creatures will stop evolving after they have low-level intelligence. After all, only a few life forms grow into high-level intelligent creatures.

[According to the law, their protection level has been increased by two levels. ]

[I not only need to maintain their living environment, but also ensure that their population reproduces and expands normally. ]

[Until a thousand years ago, they officially possessed high-level intelligence. 】

【They have a complete language system and writing system. According to the Imperial Law, this is a sign that a nascent civilization is maturing. 】

【So far, the protection of the Ten Descendants has reached the highest level. 】

【At the same time, it triggered the hidden instructions left by the Empire. 】

【When the next civilization appears on this planet, I need to guide them to grow, and when the time is right, absorb them as a member of the alliance. 】

…

Bright light came from outside the dark gray house.

The visual sensor located above my head transmitted the electrical signal to the core of my mind. After a moment of thinking, an astonishing conclusion appeared in my core.

It's dawn.

It's dawn? !

How is this possible? !

The night occurred 0.4536 standard days ago.

Under normal circumstances, it should be late at night now.

But why is there a warm light coming from outside?

I subconsciously stretched out my tentacles that were originally curled up.

With its support, I stood up from the warm and porous surface.

Subconsciously, I swung my tentacles and walked out of the dark gray hut.

Yes, the visual sensor was not malfunctioning.

The sky was indeed bright.

【I】looked up, and the orange-yellow mist under the light covered the sky tightly, and the whole sky showed a strange orange color.

This scene has been maintained for who knows how many years.

At least, since 【I】can remember, the sky has been this lifeless and unchanging.

But 【I】still looked up, feeling the warmth.

No, it shouldn't be like this.

There is a legend passed down by word of mouth in the population.

According to legend, in ancient times, there were countless bright little spots in the sky.

Those bright spots only appear at night.

As for the daytime, a small ball of light will appear in the sky.

Under the cover of fog, these bright spots and balls of light appear extremely hazy, but also extremely beautiful.

This legend without any basis, most people in the population do not believe.

But 【I】 is different.

【I】believe from the bottom of my heart that the sky should not be such a monotonous existence.

Just like the porous earth under my feet and the howling storm on the edge of the earth, the sky should also be a mysterious and powerful existence.

Like me, some people in the tribe also have this belief.

We often get together and try to study those small bright spots that only exist in ancient times and appear only at night through the legends passed down by word of mouth.

The orange-yellow light and waves of warmth stimulate my sensors, and waves of electric current signals surge throughout my body, causing the surface of my skin to glow with warm colors.

But this still cannot change the fact that today is a bad day.

The concentration of diffuse electrons in the atmosphere is very thin, which means that it is almost impossible for us to wait for thunderstorms - that is the best source of food for the population.

I couldn't help but feel a little depressed in my mind, and the originally upright tentacles became weak at this moment.
