Cataclysmic Era: I can unlock the tech tree

A surge of wild joy immediately flashed in Zhang Zhengqing's eyes!

Zero computational support!

This will undoubtedly greatly reduce their workload!

Lu Yongchang's voice came again: "In exchange."

"I need you to provide all the information about the public care system for the next three hundred years."

"This includes specific implementation measures for the public pension system, changes in social systems..."

Zhang Zhengqing suddenly realized what Lü Yongchang was planning.

He thought for a moment.

There was no reason to refuse.

Zero computing power support can save them from many detours.

All they need to do is provide a little bit of information.

So he nodded in agreement: "Okay, I agree!"

A slight smile appeared on Lü Yongchang's face.

"It's a pleasure working with you."

Zhang Zhengqing smiled and nodded, "It's a pleasure working with you!"

"In addition, there is one more thing." His expression became much more serious. "To prevent such an incident from happening again, I hope that the two civilizations can communicate regularly."

Lu Yongchang naturally smiled and nodded in agreement to such a small matter.

"also."

"I hope to use some new technologies for information exchange."

Lu Yongchang stared in astonishment at Zhang Zhengqing on the projector screen: "New technology?"

He could hardly believe his ears.

In just twenty-five years, with only 40% of the technology mastered, how could the humans of Proxima Centauri possibly develop any new technologies?!

"A biotechnology."

Zhang Zhengqing explained softly, "Under extremely accidental circumstances, we discovered life in the deep permafrost of Proxima Centauri b."

"After research, we found a solution to improve the growth enzyme."

Ren Feng suddenly turned his head and looked at Zhang Zhengqing beside him with disbelief.

Facing Ren Feng's gaze, Zhang Zhengqing shrugged: "It's the research result I just told you about, which is still in the experimental stage."

In the holographic projection, Lü Yongchang sat up straight: "How effective is the improved longevity enzyme?"

"Based on current experimental data, the modified longevity enzyme could potentially extend the average human lifespan to one thousand years," Zhang Zhengqing replied softly, his eyes slightly lowered.

"Hiss!!" Lu Yongchang gasped!

A thousand years!

This is still the average lifespan!

He was tempted!

He never expected that the Proxima Centauri human civilization, which he had forgotten about, would bring him such a big surprise!

It's another pilot project for the social welfare system, and another longevity enzyme improvement program!

"Of course, these are all estimated data; we haven't conducted any human trials yet." Zhang Zhengqing quickly added, seemingly worried that the final experimental data might not meet the standards.

Lü Yongchang didn't seem to care much.

He waved his hand, his expression becoming much more lively: "What information do you want to exchange?"

"A technology system of a Tier 3 civilization?"

"Excuse my bluntness, but this thing is still a bit too advanced for you."

Zhang Zhengqing nodded in agreement: "I understand the principle of 'don't bite off more than you can chew.'"

"We want all the information related to extraterrestrial civilizations that the human fleet acquires over the next three hundred years."

A hint of amusement crept into Lü Yongchang's eyes.

It seems he underestimated this chief scientist from Proxima Centauri some time ago.

This is to have the human fleet scout ahead for them!

Compared to various advanced technological systems, the information from extraterrestrial civilizations is the most important.

This information can save the human civilization on Proxima Centauri from many detours as they prepare to leave the planet!

"good!"

"I agree!"

Without any hesitation, Lü Yongchang replied directly, "The information about the painting and the Lator civilization will be sent to you soon."

……

More than an hour later.

After agreeing on a time for their next meeting, Lü Yongchang turned off the holographic projection in front of him.

"Professor, please enter the hibernation pod immediately."

At the same time, Zero's warning voice sounded: "The fleet is about to begin acceleration."

Lu Yongchang reached out and unfastened the electromagnetic adsorption device on the seat, then walked towards the hibernation pod.

As he watched the pale yellow deep-sea liquid gradually wash over his eyes, a sense of anticipation rose in his heart.

I wonder what surprise Zhang Zhengqing will bring him next time.

Can a social welfare system truly succeed?

With a faint sense of anticipation, he slowly closed his eyes.

……

While Proxima Centauri b was attempting to advance its social welfare system, the human fleet quickly adjusted its course and headed once again toward Gliese 555!

Because of the Latour civilization, the estimated voyage time has been extended from 90 years to 105 years!

Time flies.

Eighty years have passed in the blink of an eye.

December 1, 2380 (Earth Calendar).

A small point of light appeared in front of the human fleet.

That was the target of the human fleet.

Gliese 555.

……

"drop!"

A crisp notification sound rang out inside the [Earth] Quantum Computing Center.

A holographic projection gradually unfolds, and lines of text appear within it.

[Radiation particles from Gliese 555 have been detected.]

Current distance: 5.23 AU.

[Confirmed again, we have successfully reached the edge of the Gliese 555 system!]

[Initiating wake-up procedure...]

……

A familiar testing process.

After confirming that he was conscious, Lü Yongchang struggled to climb out of the hibernation pod.

"Zero, have we arrived?"

Recalling the situation when he was awakened last time, Lü Yongchang quickly asked.

"Yes." As Zero's voice rang out, a holographic projection appeared beside him. "Currently, we have successfully crossed the boundary of Gliese 555."

Lu Yongchang didn't speak, but just stared blankly at the star in the holographic projection that was constantly emitting light and heat.

……

Having just recovered his strength from a long period of hibernation, Lü Yongchang stood by the porthole in the command center, looking at the scenery outside.

This is a planet on the outermost edge of the Gliese 555 star system.

Under the faint light of Gliese 555, this yellowish-brown planet reflected a dim glow.

"We've finally arrived..."

Lu Yongchang muttered to himself.

Gliese 555 is a red dwarf star whose sphere of influence is far smaller than that of the solar system.

Even the planet in front of us is only 4.3 AU away from Gliese 555.

"Has the detector arrived yet?"

Lu Yongchang didn't turn his head and spoke directly.

Zero immediately responded: "We are approaching the target planet."

"Turn the camera over here." A hint of anticipation shone in Lü Yongchang's eyes. "Let me see what humanity's future home will look like!"

The holographic image changes instantly.

A bare, reddish-brown planet appeared before his eyes.

Not far from this planet, there is a smaller moon.

It looks like a low-spec version of the Earth-Moon system.
