Age of Cataclysm: I can light up the technology tree

Abnormal time and space fluctuations!

Five million light years away from the human fleet!

Seeing the information in the holographic projection, Lu Yongchang's originally calm face instantly became nervous.

Since the detection accuracy of the self-splitting detector is not high, and the weak artificial intelligence [1] in it has a high probability of misjudgment, Lu Yongchang adjusted the detector's early warning threshold to a very high value.

Normally, only space-time fluctuations created by an eighth-level civilization will trigger early warning messages from detectors.

Since leaving the M87 galaxy, the human fleet has now sailed nearly 600 million light years.

From this perspective, five million light years is literally right under the nose of the human fleet.

And that's exactly what happened.

Once a large-scale wormhole is opened, the distance of five million light-years will disappear in a blink of an eye.

He carefully analyzed the various data returned from the splitting detector, trying to find the truth of this abnormal space-time fluctuation from these complicated data.

Lu Yongchang was not the only one who received the alarm message.

As time passed by, the number of people in the office began to gradually increase.

…

After a long time.

Lu Yongchang suddenly stopped his movements.

At the same time, his brows frowned tightly.

"hiss……"

Lu Yongchang took a breath and looked at his calculation process several times in disbelief: "This does not seem to be a space-time fluctuation caused by wormholes and curvature navigation..."

This sentence immediately aroused the curiosity of the academicians in the office.

Facing everyone's gaze, he hesitated and said: "This pattern of space-time fluctuations...is a bit like the fluctuations that occur when the small universe and the large universe meet."

"Just like Kuafu opening the small universe port."

"only……"

"Its space-time fluctuations far exceed the fluctuations of the small universe."

Fang Xu's face changed slightly: "Yongchang, what do you mean..."

"There is a very powerful civilization in that area, and they are opening their own small universe?"

Lu Yongchang did not respond immediately.

He frowned and looked again at his calculation process and the latest observation data sent back from the splitting detector.

At this moment, the intensity of this space-time fluctuation has doubled again.

The star field five million light years away has become an extremely obvious lighthouse in the ocean of time and space!

"I'm afraid not..." Lu Yongchang shook his head hesitantly, "This is more like a naturally occurring phenomenon."

"The fluctuations in space and time it causes far exceed the fluctuations when the small universe port is open."

"If this is really a small universe of a certain civilization..."

Lu Yongchang said calmly: "I can't imagine the strength of this civilization."

"Then... Yongchang, what do you mean..."

As an "old man" who has been accompanying him to this day in the Earth Era, Fang Xu naturally knows very well what Lu Yongchang is thinking: "Go and have a look?"

If today's human civilization wants to continue to progress, it can only focus on extreme phenomena in the universe.

Just like now.

This powerful fluctuation in time and space shocked even the eighth-level civilization!

If it really is a natural phenomenon...

Then human civilization may be able to obtain some brand-new technologies and theories from it!

How could Lu Yongchang give up such an opportunity that fell to his lips? !

It's like an airdrop falling on your face. Can you resist going and taking a look?

Obviously, no.

So, Lu Yongchang, who had his thoughts revealed, smiled and nodded: "Of course."

He glanced at the holographic projection not far away.

The fleet's resource replenishment progress has reached 80%, which is enough to support any subsequent actions of the fleet.

He gave the order in a deep voice.

"zero!"

"Recover all resource collection starships immediately, and the fleet is ready to set sail!"

Five million light years.

It's easily accessible with just a wormhole trip.

For today's human civilization, it is just a snap of a finger.

Space-time fluctuations that are no less than those of abnormal areas flash past in the vast universe.

Before the fifth-level civilization in the unknown galaxy noticed it, the human fleet had quietly left this slightly dilapidated galaxy.

…

The edge region of the Shapley Supercluster.

This is an extremely empty and dark star field.

Located near the Boötes void, the density of galaxies here has dropped to an outrageous level compared to conventional star fields.

But compared with the Boötes void further away, this star field can still be called "rich."

The sparse resources have made this star field a "forbidden zone" for advanced civilization in disguise.

Just like the nameless galaxy where human civilization has previously stopped, there is not even a sixth-level civilization in it!

As for advanced civilizations in other galaxies...

Then there would be no reason to come to this barren land.

But just now, this barren land has become the most dazzling existence within a radius of 100 million light years.

Along with extremely strong fluctuations in space and time, a structure like a transparent bubble slowly appeared in the vast universe.

The surface of the bubble is constantly distorting, as if it is under the influence of some unknown force.

The starlight coming from infinite distance is distorted near the bubble, forming a strange and bizarre picture.

As time goes by, this thing that looks like a soap bubble gets bigger and bigger - from tens of kilometers at the beginning, it gradually grows to more than ten light years!

This is a terrifying growth rate!

The result was a violent shock to the nearby space-time - just like a huge stone smashed into a calm lake.

When the twisting "soap bubble" structure grew to a hundred light years, it finally stopped expanding.

This space-time fluctuation, which was strong enough to attract the attention of the eighth-level civilization, finally began to gradually decline.

But it did not completely return to zero.

As the "soap bubble" continued to twist, layers of waves still appeared on the ocean of space-time.

A little further away.

A small vortex slowly formed on the ocean of space-time, bringing waves of space-time that were no weaker than the "soap bubble".

The vortex grew larger and larger, and a stable wormhole slowly appeared in this uninhabited star field.

After a short wait, a fleet with the logo of the Silicon Alliance and the solar system engraved on its surface emerged from the wormhole.

Human civilization, arrived first!

…

The space-time fluctuations brought by the "soap bubble" continued to spread far away.

100,000 light years, 1 million light years, 10 million light years...

80 million light years away, a spiral galaxy similar in size to the M87 galaxy is quietly moving in the vast universe.

Next to it, there are more than a dozen satellite galaxies of relatively small size.

In one of the satellite galaxies, a slowly twisting thread is quietly staying in the central black hole area.

The passing space-time fluctuations startled it.

It quickly stretched out and "looked" in the direction where the space-time fluctuations came from.

[This is...]

The next moment, the tachyon signal spread out from it and spread rapidly to the surroundings.
