Cataclysmic Era: I can unlock the tech tree

Two days later.

As usual, Lü Yongchang arrived at the laboratory very early.

All experiments take a considerable amount of time, so after completing all the basic checks, he and Mao Zhengzhi sat down in seats near the porthole.

This should be his only rest time besides sleeping.

Sitting in their chairs, Lü Yongchang and Mao Zhengzhi both looked out the porthole at the magnificent black hole accretion disk.

The power of nature was laid bare before the two scientists, reminding them of humanity's insignificance in every way.

"...It's changed! Something has changed!"

A familiar exclamation came from afar.

The exclamations were filled with joy and excitement: "Academician Mao! The experiment has worked!"

After a brief moment of stunned silence, Mao Zhengzhi, who had been sitting in the chair, quickly unfastened the electromagnetic adsorption device and stood up abruptly.

Without any hesitation, he took off running towards the main control panel!

Compared to Mao Zhengzhi, Lü Yongchang appeared much calmer.

As he stood up from his seat, he casually waved his hand and manipulated the holographic projection beside him.

The experimental data was quickly presented to Lü Yongchang.

He froze on the spot when he saw the bright red radiation intensity curve.

"Ten, ten times the standard radiation???"

The so-called standard radiation is the radiation intensity of the main star in the original star system of the Lost Star, which is obtained through a series of calculations.

Lu Yongchang subconsciously raised his hand and scratched his head.

This……

Are young people these days all this crazy?

The problem is, this absurdly crude experimental procedure actually succeeded!

Looking at the tiny, thin, trembling brown object in the picture, he suddenly felt that he was falling behind the times.

"professor!"

"Professor, did you see that?!"

Lu Yongchang composed himself, waved his hand to turn off the holographic projection beside him, and strode towards the main control panel.

Although he had already seen all the data from the experiment in the holographic projection, he still wanted to witness this miracle with his own eyes.

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he frowned slightly and slowed his pace.

After a moment's hesitation, he said softly, "Zero, have He Bilin come to my place."

"receive."

A synthesized voice sounded beside me.

……

Through the huge, transparent aluminum wall, the lucky plant was clearly visible to everyone in the laboratory.

A straight trunk, broad leaves, and roots that are just beginning to grow and are trembling slightly...

It's practically identical to the giant trees on the surface of the Lost Star.

The only difference might be in size and scale.

"Siyuan, how did you come up with the idea of ​​using such a high dose of radiation for the experiment?"

Having satisfied his curiosity, Mao Zhengzhi finally remembered his business and asked Lu Siyuan a question.

Lu Siyuan chuckled and scratched his head: "Academician Mao, would you believe me if I said it was just my intuition?"

Mao Zhengzhi: "???"

Seeing a slight change in Mao Zhengzhi's expression, Lu Siyuan quickly began to explain.

"That's right. These giant trees have an extremely high tolerance to radiation. Even if the intensity and type of radiation deviate significantly, they can still live normally."

"This has already been confirmed in previous experiments."

Mao Zhengzhi nodded slightly.

This is true.

Otherwise, these giant trees wouldn't be able to live so peacefully near the black hole.

"So I wondered if we were not stimulating it enough, which is why it couldn't activate its ability to differentiate and grow."

Mao Zhengzhi nodded thoughtfully.

"But calculations show that the primary star of the Lost Star doesn't actually have such a high level of radiation!"

Lu Siyuan shrugged and didn't reply.

He specializes in biology and has not dabbled in other disciplines.

Lü Yongchang remained silent, listening quietly to their discussion.

He frowned, as if he was thinking about something.

"Professor, you wanted to see me?"

Accompanied by a series of hurried footsteps, He Bilin's voice rang out from the side.

Lu Yongchang nodded slightly and pointed to the data in the holographic image: "Look at this data."

"Oh right, just look at the experimental data related to radiation intensity."

Upon hearing this, He Bilin quickly turned his head to look at the dense and incredibly complex experimental data.

"hiss……"

A few minutes later, He Bilin seemed to have discovered something, and after taking a soft breath, said, "This... ten times the standard radiation?"

"This experiment actually succeeded?!"

"Whether the experiment succeeds or not is not important; what matters is the information behind the experimental data," Lü Yongchang gently reminded.

Upon hearing this, He Bilin was momentarily stunned.

"Behind the experiment..."

He quickly realized the meaning behind Lü Yongchang's words.

Since these giant tree tissues can survive normally under such radiation intensity, and even activate the pluripotency of those cell-like structures, then it means...

"You mean... our previous calculations might have been incorrect?"

"Was the former star's radiation intensity possibly higher than we calculated?"

As he spoke, He Bilin reached out and pulled over a holographic image.

He quickly flipped through the computational data in the images, while simultaneously performing verification work using zero computing power.

"That's not right!"

"Professor, I've checked the calculation again, and the calculation process should be correct."

"Even considering that black holes devour vast amounts of stellar matter, a radiation intensity ten times higher is still ridiculous!!"

The same calculation data was also presented before Lü Yongchang's eyes.

He had already completed the verification work.

There is no problem.

But that's precisely the biggest problem!
