Age of Cataclysm: I can light up the technology tree

The next day.

After verifying the feasibility of a series of projectiles, Lv Yongchang heard a yawn from the side.

He turned his head and saw Yevgeny looking at the holographic image in front of him with a tired face, and yawned from time to time.

The excitement of the previous two days has disappeared without a trace.

That's normal.

In order to verify these projectiles, the two basically didn't sleep all night.

As a player who stays up late all year round, Lv Yongchang naturally didn't feel anything, but Professor Yevgeny next to him obviously hasn't adapted to such a life.

Lv Yongchang chuckled, stretched out his hand and waved, dispelling all the holographic projections made by Zero.

Suddenly seeing the holographic image in front of him disappear, Yevgeny couldn't help but be stunned, turned his head and cast a puzzled look at Lv Yongchang.

"Professor?"

"Take a break first." Lv Yongchang smiled and patted Yevgeny on the shoulder. "The main plan has been released. We can take our time to verify it."

Before Yevgeny nodded, a bright red holographic image appeared beside them.

[Alarm]

At the same time, Zero's voice sounded in the loudspeaker.

"Professor, we are in trouble."

...

In the main conference room of Mars City No. 1.

A congressman sat on the left side of the conference table.

On the right side of the conference table sat several senior members of the Academy of Sciences.

Everyone looked at the holographic image in front of them with a serious face.

"Professor, is this true?"

Fang Xu's uneasy voice sounded on the side: "How could it be such a coincidence?"

Facing Fang Xu's doubts, Lv Yongchang sighed slightly, lowered his eyes and sighed: "According to Zero's deduction, this is because of our mining activities in the asteroid belt, coupled with the changes in the sun..."

"This series of butterfly effects caused it to happen."

In the holographic simulation image, an asteroid with an irregular shape was flying in the endless space.

The trajectory slowly appeared, and the destination was the fourth planet in the solar system - Mars!

"Yongchang, have you verified it?" The elderly voice of the councillor came from across the conference table.

Lv Yongchang raised his head and looked at the old man.

The old man's face was very calm, but his slightly turbid eyes showed some uneasiness and doubt.

Lv Yongchang nodded silently.

"Zero has verified it more than 2,000 times. If there is no unexpected situation, this asteroid with a diameter of 100 kilometers will collide directly with Mars!"

"In order to prevent observation errors, we have sent Hummingbird 1, which is on a mining mission in the asteroid belt, to verify it. It is estimated that it will send specific information in a short time."

As soon as the voice fell, Zero's voice rang in the conference room.

"Professor, Hummingbird 1 sent a communication request. Do you want to connect?"

Lv Yongchang took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Connect!"

...

A few hours ago.

Psyche, asteroid belt in the solar system.

Bart sat in the cockpit expressionlessly, staring at the scenery in front of him that had not changed at all.

"Captain, when can we go back?"

The teammate's weak voice came from the radio.

Bart turned his head to look at the Hummingbird 2 starship not far from him, and some new Hummingbird-type starships in the distance, and sighed deeply.

"Soon, soon."

Compared with the previous period, everyone at this time has completely lost the excitement of space mining.

Although the cockpit is equipped with complete living facilities and entertainment equipment, being locked in this small cockpit for a long time is not a life that normal people can endure!

At the beginning, they could still put on space suits and take a few laps on Psyche.

But after a few times, they were completely tired of this way of entertainment.

Bart looked at the warehouse capacity on the holographic image in front of him, and his eyes showed some anticipation.

95%

Almost full!

This means that they can leave this damn Psyche and return to Mars soon!

"Beep!"

"A communication request from Mars is detected, and it will be connected in ten seconds."

The voice of Weak Artificial Intelligence One sounded in the cockpit.

Bart was slightly stunned.

A communication request that cannot be refused?

He quickly reached out and rubbed his stiff face, straightened his expression and looked at the camera and holographic image in front of him.

As the countdown ended, the holographic image quietly changed, and Lv Yongchang appeared in front of Bart.

"Lv, Professor Lv!" Bart's eyes suddenly widened and he exclaimed in a low voice.

He thought of countless possibilities.

But he never thought that this irresistible communication was made by Professor Lv Yongchang himself!

Looking at the serious and solemn expression on Lv Yongchang's face, Bart quickly put away the surprise on his face.

Because of the delay problem, this is not a real-time communication, but a pre-recorded image.

"Bart, Zero, I should be right, right?"

Zero's voice came from the side: "No, Professor."

Bart saw the image: "..."

Lv Yongchang coughed lightly: "Bart, there is an important task for you."

"..."

...

A few minutes later

Bart sat in a chair, staring blankly at the holographic image.

An asteroid with a diameter of 100 kilometers?

Or heading straight for Mars?

WTF? !

Before Bart could catch his breath, the communication was shut down, and Yi's voice sounded again: "Captain Bart, the coordinate file sent from Mars was detected, do you want to open it?"

Bart exhaled forcefully: "Open the file!"

The next second, a star map appeared in the holographic image.

The location of the target and Psyche was clearly marked on it, and a dim dotted line gradually appeared between the two.

That was the best route calculated by the onboard computer.

Bart pondered for a moment and pressed the radio communication button in front of him.

"Huggins, Jason."

"I have to go first."

[Mining nanorobots are being recalled]

While Bart recalled all the nanorobots, he said on the radio: "Professor Lu has given me a special task."

"Special task? Or Professor Lu?!" Jason screamed and asked in a hurried tone, "Captain, are you hysterical?"

Bart rolled his eyes unhappily: "Seriously."

"There is an asteroid heading towards Mars, I have to go and see the situation on the spot."

The questioning voice in the radio channel suddenly disappeared.

After a long time.

"Asteroid?" Hawkins' voice came, "Is Mars... okay?"

[Nanobots recalled]

[Fixed hooks retracted]

Seeing this prompt, Bart decisively pressed the start button of the Hummingbird Starship.

"Don't worry, with Professor Lu here, what can go wrong?"

"I'm leaving first, see you in Mars City!"

As soon as the voice fell, a faint blue flame suddenly lit up at the bottom and tail of the Hummingbird Starship!
