Age of Cataclysm: I can light up the technology tree

The human fleet quietly stopped at the central black hole area of ​​this nameless galaxy.

Compared with the huge quasar in the center of the M87 galaxy, the black hole of this small galaxy seems particularly "gentle".

After selecting a suitable area, the human fleet settled down briefly - [Kuafu] moved the small universe and opened the port connecting the small universe and the large universe.

Not far away, the stars transported by [Star Pickers] were slowly coming in a neat formation.

Each star was carefully selected - from the perspective of energy extraction, blue giant stars with moderate quality have the highest cost-effectiveness.

Supplies and fleet maintenance take a lot of time.

These are all fully automated processes controlled by Zero, and will not affect the normal research work of the Academy of Sciences.

...

Inside the Human Union Microcosm.

The silver-white silicon ray is floating in a blue giant star - since human civilization was promoted to level eight civilization, it has begun a completely lying life.

Next to this blue giant, a man-made fortress with a scale larger than most terrestrial planets and a peculiar shape is quietly hovering in the microcosm.

During the long-distance voyage across the supercluster level, the space in the microcosm is absolutely worth every inch of land!

But even so, there are still almost luxurious open areas around it.

This is enough to show the special status of this fortress in the Human Union - [Dimension Research Center of the Human Union Academy of Sciences].

Its predecessor was the Human Union Dimension Laboratory.

The appearance of the research center is very recognizable - it is made into the shape of a Möbius ring.

Just like the [Space-Time Research Center] established by human civilization at level 7, the [Dimension Research Center] also has extremely important significance for human civilization at this time.

According to the guidance of the technology tree, the eighth-level civilization needs to explore the mysteries of the dimension, which is also a direct standard that affects the strength of the eighth-level civilization.

Therefore, after being promoted to the eighth-level civilization, the Dimension Research Center successfully replaced the Space-Time Research Center and became the area with the strongest research power in the Academy of Sciences.

As the chief scientist, Lv Yongchang's work place naturally moved to the Dimension Research Center.

…

Inside the Dimension Research Center.

Lv Yongchang stood up from his seat with some disappointment, and casually "threw" the holographic projection in front of him to the side.

"Professor, the 3698th dimensional upgrade experiment..."

The voice of Academician Song Yunzan, the former head of the Dimension Laboratory, came from the side, but was interrupted by Lv Yongchang waving his hand.

"I know, it failed again."

Lv Yongchang sighed helplessly: "Giving a three-dimensional object a fourth direction... This is indeed not a simple matter."

Since the four-dimensional theory has made a significant breakthrough, human civilization has also reached out to the highest crown of four-dimensional technology, the dimensional upgrade technology, just like the [Tenth Empire].

In this process, Lv Yongchang relied on his own cognitive ability of high dimensions to solve a large number of difficulties on his own.

He also proposed the key technology of [High-dimensional Printing].

The so-called dimensional upgrade is actually not difficult to understand.

Three-dimensional objects have three directions, and similarly, four-dimensional objects also have four directions.

The fourth direction cannot be expressed in three-dimensional space, but it does not mean that it does not exist.

Therefore, if you want to achieve dimensionality upgrade, in the simplest terms, it is to simulate a fourth direction for a three-dimensional object.

The whole process is actually very similar to the 3D printing technology at the atomic level.

If a single-layer atomic structure is regarded as a two-dimensional object, then the 3D printing process of stacking layers of atoms is actually the dimensionality upgrade process of a two-dimensional object.

Of course, this is just an analogy.

The real dimensionality upgrade process is obviously not that simple.

But this process reveals a key truth - the dimensionality upgrade operation of a three-dimensional object must be carried out in a four-dimensional space.

The [high-dimensional printing] proposed by Lv Yongchang is also based on this.

It's just...

Without seeing the real four-dimensional space, it is almost impossible for a three-dimensional creature to build a stable four-dimensional space based on imagination alone.

It's like a blind man touching an elephant.

The four-dimensional space created by humans today is just a poor "imitation".

In the Dimension Research Center, under the instructions of Lv Yongchang, countless dimensionality upgrade experiments were carried out.

Without exception, every experiment failed.

All the reasons for failure are the instability of artificial four-dimensional space.

This is normal.

Today, the experiments of human civilization are more like exhaustive methods - searching for truly stable four-dimensional space through a large number of experiments.

This difficulty can be imagined.

On the other hand...

Although the object of dimensional upgrading is a dead object without life, this does not mean that the experiment is not dangerous.

Just talk about the results of this experiment.

At the moment when the dimensional upgrading experiment failed, the internal energy pathway became disordered, which directly led to a large-scale explosion.

This is also the fundamental reason why a large number of open areas are needed around the Dimension Research Center.

Under the influence of these two factors, the research progress of the Dimension Research Center is extremely slow.

"Professor?"

Academician Song's voice came again, interrupting Lu Yongchang's thoughts: "Should we continue to try the next plan?"

Lu Yongchang pondered for a moment and slowly shook his head.

"Wait a minute."

"I need to make some modifications to the plan, and some parameters may have problems."

Hearing this, Song Yunzan nodded hurriedly and adjusted the next experimental plan through the holographic projection beside him.

While he was adjusting the experimental plan, Lv Yongchang reached out and opened several new holographic images.

In the picture, there was a large-scale strip star map.

A careful observation would reveal that this strip star map was exactly the navigation path of human civilization in the past.

At the same time, the width of this strip star map was spreading outward little by little!

"The [Cosmic Monitoring Plan] has gradually got on track."

Lv Yongchang whispered softly: "The first batch of self-splitting detectors released have successfully crossed several nearby galaxies."

"At this rate..."

There was a faint light in his eyes: "Within five hundred years, we will be able to complete the preliminary monitoring plan for nearby super galaxy clusters."

Just as Lv Yongchang was about to raise his hand to close the holographic projection, an orange-yellow ripple flashed across the outermost area of ​​the strip star map.

Almost at the same time, a notice from Zero also jumped out in front of him.

[Warning! 】

[Q56DK regional self-splitting detector detected abnormal space-time fluctuations. 】
