Cataclysmic Era: I can unlock the tech tree

The surface of Proxima Centauri b.

Central City.

Looking at the hazy yellow snow outside the window, Lü Yongchang's eyes revealed a hint of melancholy.

"The weather is getting colder and colder."

"Proxima Centauri is also in its final, dying stages..."

Fang Xu's voice rang out from the side: "Yeah, it's time to move again, isn't it?"

Lü Yongchang's eyes dimmed slightly.

Just as human civilization was getting on track, they were forced to order another migration.

This is the price of weakness!

He sighed softly and whispered to the camera beside him, "Zero, turn off the outdoor projection."

Instead, there are cold, silvery-white walls.

"How's the mobilization work going?" Lu Yongchang asked again after a moment's thought.

Upon hearing the question, a hint of bitterness appeared in Fang Xu's eyes.

He slowly shook his head.

"Currently, there are still 5 million people who are unwilling to leave Proxima Centauri."

"We tried many methods, but none of them worked."

Lü Yongchang's expression darkened.

Five hundred million people, which already accounts for 8.3% of the total population!

Fang Xu quickly added, "Fortunately, most of these 500 million people are elderly."

Hearing this, Lü Yongchang's expression softened slightly.

"Are most of them elderly people from Earth?"

Fang Xu nodded.

"The survey shows that 400 million of them are elderly."

"After hibernating for over a hundred years, they no longer want to wander."

"Although this is not Earth, after living here for sixty years, they still developed some feelings for Proxima b."

"so……"

Lü Yongchang sighed again.

"What about the remaining 100 million people?"

Fang Xu hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice, "The vast majority are the new generation born on Proxima Centauri b."

"The new generation?" Lu Yongchang frowned immediately. "Why would they stay in this dying star system?"

Fang Xu's face was full of helplessness: "A large part of the reason lies with those 400 million elderly people."

"Of course, the sense of belonging to one's birthplace also has some influence."

"How many mobilizations have been conducted?" Lu Yongchang asked softly, his face expressionless.

"This is the third time so far."

Lu Yongchang slowly closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"Let's make one last mobilization."

"If you still don't want to leave, then don't force yourself."

"Leave them some supplies; with that gas giant planet, at least there won't be an energy crisis."

Fang Xu's expression shifted slightly: "This... isn't that inappropriate?"

"They're all human, are we just going to stand by and watch them...?"

It is different from Earth time.

At this point, human civilization was capable of taking all of humanity on interstellar journeys.

Lu Yongchang glanced at Fang Xu with a complicated expression.

"There's nothing wrong with it."

Everyone has their own ambitions.

"Since they've decided to enjoy their last moments of comfort in this warm bed, then we'll grant their request."

"This is already more than enough."

"Human civilization cannot halt its progress because of a minority!"

Fang Xu nodded silently without saying a word.

"Professor, the probe has completed its initial detection mission."

Zero's voice broke the silence in the office: "Receiving data..."

Lu Yongchang's eyes lit up, and his tone immediately became much lighter.

"Finally!"

"Let's go see what information the detector has brought us!"

After saying that, he got up and walked towards the office door.

……

Astronomical observatory.

Lu Yongchang's face was tense as he stared intently at the progress bar on the holographic projection.

His eyes were filled with a mixture of anticipation and fear.

The hope is that the detector will bring them excellent intelligence.

For example, it has abundant resources.

For example, there are no external enemies.

The one who was naturally terrified was Ross 154's star.

Although, no unexpected events occurred in Ross 154 during those sixty years.

But for some reason, every time Lü Yongchang thought of that scene from sixty years ago, a strange sense of fear would rise in his heart.

Without any evidence that Ross 154 was in any condition, he could only classify it as a mental illness.

Perhaps, because of the consecutive demise of two star systems, a seed of fear of the starry sky had been planted in his heart.

Or... how about we find an opportunity to see Dr. Wen?

Come to think of it, it seems like it's been a while since I last saw Dr. Wen.

The last time was probably two years ago.

While researching plasma weapons, he successfully got himself back into the ward under Dr. Wen's care.

But when he thought of the strange look Dr. Wen gave his head, he quickly dismissed the thought.

Just as Lü Yongchang was lost in thought, the progress bar in the holographic projection silently increased to 100%.

A star map was clearly presented to everyone.

Outside a bright red fireball are seven planets of varying sizes.

It includes three gas giants and four solid planets.

Lu Yongchang's goal, however, was the second and third planets.

The former is a solid planet.

The latter is a gas giant.

Having mastered the technology to build mega-city clusters, the options for human habitation have increased considerably.

Compared to before, Lü Yongchang now only needs to focus on two aspects.

On one hand, gravity.

The gravity of a place of residence needs to be close to that of Earth.

This ensures the normal growth and development of the new generation and also ensures that the older generation does not experience various health problems.

On the other hand, as many resources as possible are needed.

Water resources, mineral resources...

This is naturally for convenience.

We can't build a city and then have to transport raw materials from far away, can we?

According to observational data from the Proxima Centauri civilization, this solid planet has a gravity of approximately 90% that of Earth and possesses a small amount of water resources.

It exists primarily in the form of solid ice.

While not as abundant as Proxima Centauri b or Earth, this is not a major problem for a Type II civilization.

It is worth mentioning that this solid planet has a huge planetary ring.

It is estimated that it was formed from the breakup of a satellite.

Of course, this data comes from the Proxima Centauri civilization; for more specific information, we'll have to look at the probes launched by humans.

As he thought about it, he reached out and tapped on the holographic projection.

The image of the second solid planet was instantly magnified.

Lines of data flashed rapidly in front of him.

As he watched the rapidly fluctuating data in front of him, Lu Yongchang's eyes gradually filled with delight!

Preliminary tests indicate that while water resources are limited, mineral resources are extremely abundant.

To reiterate, while it may not be as abundant as Earth or Proxima Centauri b, it is still considered a rich and fertile place compared to other solid planets.

"Professor Lü, this planet is really nice."

A young voice came from the side: "Is this where we'll be living in the future?"
