Age of Cataclysm: I can light up the technology tree

【The Tenth Empire】Flagship center area.

Under the orange-yellow light, thick fog slowly rolled in the cabin, revealing a tall cylindrical creature.

After tens of thousands of years, the Empire's Supreme Conference was opened again - the last time the Empire's Supreme Conference was held was when the Silicon-based Alliance was established.

Waves of strong electromagnetic waves were transmitted rapidly in the fog.

[Everyone, human civilization has discovered the four-dimensional cavitation structure! This is the only chance for the Empire to master the dimensional technology! ]

[Then what are you waiting for? Why not order the fleet to go to the cavitation area? ! ]

[The preliminary research results of human civilization show that the cavitation structure can only exist for one year, and the fleet...cannot get there within a year. ]

[...]

The strong electromagnetic wave signal stagnated instantly.

[But...human civilization said that the research results can be shared with the Empire. ]

The electromagnetic wave signal became "hot" again.

[What are the conditions of human civilization? ]

[The Empire needs to establish a military alliance with human civilization... Previously, human civilization had conflicts with both the Pastoral Faction and the Sweepers to varying degrees, which means that once this request is accepted, the Empire is likely to become an enemy of the two major factions. At the same time, to a certain extent, this also violates the requirements of the neutral faction. ]

The cabin returned to calm again.

Every high-level imperial official was carefully thinking about the gains and losses.

[First, dimensional upgrading technology... This is the technology that the Empire must obtain! ]

[Secondly, the Sweepers have unilaterally torn up the agreement, and the Pastoral Faction has also violated the content of the agreement. The war will begin. Both the neutral faction and the Silicon Alliance should be prepared to fight! ]

[Finally, and most importantly. ]

[Human civilization is a part of the Silicon Alliance, and it is also a high-potential civilization from the Milky Way! ]

As the electromagnetic waves reverberated, an exceptionally tall individual from the Empire raised his tentacles and swiped through the foggy cabin: [I agree with this proposal. ]

[... Seconded. ]

[Agree. 】

【……】

This imperial supreme meeting was extremely quick.

It took only a few hours for the meeting to end - with an absolute advantage of 95%, the empire passed the military alliance agreement.

【Tell human civilization, be careful of the pastoral faction. 】

【The original sweeper civilization was attacked by the pastoral faction near the four-dimensional bubble. 】

【These dimensional creatures will not allow other civilizations to master dimensional technology. 】

The tallest imperial high-level official turned and disappeared into the thick fog, leaving only a strong electromagnetic wave signal propagating in the fog.

【Change the fleet's navigation target, complete resource replenishment, and head to the bubble area at the highest speed. 】

【From now on, the imperial fleet enters a state of war. 】

…

"Professor, the [Tenth Empire] has responded."

Lin Zile's voice came from the loudspeaker beside Lv Yongchang: "In line with the expectations of the Sociology Branch, they agreed to establish a military alliance."

Lv Yongchang paused slightly and continued to calculate in the holographic projection in front of him: "A wise choice."

"One more thing."

Lin Zile's voice became serious: "The Empire has sent a warning message that the Pastoral Sect is likely to attack us because of the four-dimensional cavitation structure."

"At the same time, the Empire Fleet is coming to support us at the fastest speed."

This time, Lv Yongchang completely stopped the unfinished work in his hands.

He glanced at the holographic projection beside him: "The problem of the Pastoral Sect... The Academy of Sciences has considered it before."

"The current progress of the defense line deployment is more than half."

"The self-splitting detector has also expanded to the surrounding 2,000 light-year territory."

Lin Zile breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

Before he continued to speak, Lv Yongchang's steady voice continued to come.

"But... since the Tenth Empire also has this concern, it proves that we did nothing wrong."

"Zero, from now on, the human fleet enters a state of war!"

...

Near the huge four-dimensional bubble.

Warships of different sizes slowly sailed out from the open small universe port and sailed to the designated area in an orderly manner under Zero's control.

Those were minefields full of "torpedoes".

Space-time traps, space annihilation devices, dark matter chain torpedoes...

In order to safely study the structure of the four-dimensional bubble, under the order of Lv Yongchang, the fleet almost emptied all its assets!

Further away, the self-splitting detectors that spread over two thousand light years are still steadily advancing the "territory" of human civilization.

After the fleet entered a state of war, the alarm threshold of this batch of self-splitting detectors was greatly reduced.

In this star field, any disturbance cannot escape Zero's sight!

Just as the fleet's defense line was gradually improved, Lv Yongchang's research results also entered the final stage.

Since the inside of the four-dimensional bubble is a four-dimensional space, conventional detectors cannot perform detection tasks.

The reason is simple.

When moving in four-dimensional space, the detector needs to calculate the four directions around it.

If the fourth direction is not considered, a series of "weird" scenes will appear.

Energy can escape directly from the closed energy path, and the devices inside the detector will inexplicably appear in some impossible positions...

This is why the previous detectors were scrapped.

As for the solution...

It's actually very simple.

Let the detector have the ability to calculate four-dimensional coordinates.

This is not difficult for today's human civilization.

At the same time, considering the communication blocking effect between the four-dimensional bubble and the universe, Lv Yongchang also needs to add a sufficiently intelligent self-running detection program to the detector.

…

Under the "gaze" of countless starships and detectors.

In the silent universe, thousands of modified detectors flew towards the "soap bubble" structure in front.

"First contact warning!"

In the Dimension Research Center, Lin Yongnian's report sounded: "The current distance between the two sides: 1 million kilometers!"

"Start the self-running detection program." Lv Yongchang gave the order in a calm tone, "Start the four-dimensional coordinate sensor and start calculating the four-dimensional coordinates around the detector."

As soon as the voice fell, a small line of coordinate information appeared in the holographic projection in front of him.

Unlike the conventional three-dimensional coordinates, the projection at this time presents four-dimensional coordinates!

"Second contact warning! Current distance: 100,000 kilometers!"

"Third contact warning!"

"Contact confirmed!"

"Detector signal lost!"

Looking at the red flashing signal logo in the projection, Lv Yongchang subconsciously held his breath.

Success or failure depends on one move!

According to the preset program, after the first batch of detectors enter the four-dimensional cavitation, they will immediately retreat and actively leave the cavitation, thereby verifying the feasibility of the detection device.
