Cataclysmic Era: I can unlock the tech tree

In a short period of time, with Zero's help, the overall performance of the Talodan starship was directly improved to a new level.

Such an obvious change naturally did not escape the notice of the other Talodan people.

Upon learning this information, surprise and joy instantly dispelled the dense gloom within the civilization.

Is a Level 5 civilization really that powerful?!

This atmosphere reached its peak ten minutes later—a silver-white ellipsoidal aircraft arrived from afar and stopped outside the flagship's port gate.

At Aldan's command, the Talodan flagship opened its doors to welcome him.

The ellipsoidal aircraft slowly drove into the interior of the Talodan flagship along the passageway.

Maren curiously examined the oval-shaped, silver-white aircraft.

The surface of the aircraft is covered with arc-shaped patterns, which combine to form a complex design.

In Talodan culture, it symbolizes friendship and peace.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the aircraft's hard outer shell slowly opened, revealing its internal structure.

Not only on the outside, but also on the inside, they are filled with curved structures that make them feel comfortable.

A physical transmission interface commonly used by the Talodans protruded from it and hovered in front of Aldan.

"Chief, this is..." Maren paused for a moment, then asked in a low voice.

"Quick Information Relay Station"

Milos answered the questions that Aldan and the others had been asking: "The first gift that human civilization has given us."

"It is said to be a more advanced real-time communication device than quantum communication at a distance."

"It allows us to better exchange information with...the main civilization."

As he spoke, Milo carefully reached out his small hand and stroked the smooth and textured outer shell of the aircraft, his eyes revealing a deep sense of awe and fascination.

"Unbelievable..." it murmured to itself, "Whether it's the exterior decoration or the internal structure, the appearance of all the visible equipment is built according to our aesthetic standards."

"How much time has passed?"

Milo answered his own question: "From the time we gained access to the central computer to the time we received this gift, only a few hours had passed!"

"In just a few hours, human civilization has completed the deciphering of the Talodan culture, and at the same time, completed the modification of these high-precision devices..."

"Is this the power of a Level 5 civilization...?"

Listening to Milo's mutterings, Malen swallowed hard.

Since becoming a subordinate civilization to human civilization, the power that human civilization has unintentionally displayed has deeply shocked it.

Even more surprisingly, a sense of admiration had unconsciously arisen in its heart.

……

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

The seven-day agreement originally set by human civilization has entered its final hours.

The Talodan civilization had already completed all the formalities and officially become a subordinate civilization of human civilization.

Under Zero's control, the carrier-based drones escorted the weary fleet, slowly heading towards the large, gleaming fleet not far away.

As instructed by the Academy of Sciences, the Talodan fleet will follow the human fleet into warp drive mode and travel together to the Kepler 452 star system, 9 light-years away.

As for how to enter the curvature state...

Naturally, they simply loaded the starships of the Talodan civilization into the hulls of the human civilization's warships.

Fortunately, the warships of a level three civilization are not large, and the human expeditionary fleet can easily complete this operation.

Inside the flagship of Talodan, Milo stood by the porthole, watching the massive fleet draw ever closer, a complex mix of emotions welling up within him.

Feeling lost and confused...

But more than anything, there was anticipation and joy.

As a scientist, it couldn't wait to witness the power of a Type 5 civilization firsthand!

……

One hundred million kilometers away.

Eugene Fleet.

As a sharp alarm sounded in the command room, Corey, who had been sitting quietly in his chair waiting, suddenly stood up, and a strong murderous aura instantly appeared in his orange-yellow vertical pupils.

"Time is up!"

It flicked out its long forked tongue, gently licked the mucus secreted from the corner of its eyes, and said in a hoarse voice, "All fleets, depart immediately!"

"I'd like to see where the Talodan civilization can run to!"

As it spoke, it turned to a crew member and shouted, "Start the canning unit!"

Corey's words immediately drew cheers from the crowd.

Inside the command room, a bloodthirsty cruelty gleamed in the eyes of every lizardman.

"General! Something's happened!!!"

A cry of alarm came from nearby, and at the same time, a lizardman jumped up from his chair in a panic: "The Talodan fleet is heading towards the human fleet!"

The smile on Corey's face vanished instantly.

It narrowed its eyelids slightly, its vertical pupils becoming increasingly sharp, and the bloodthirsty aura within them growing stronger.

"Heading towards the human fleet?"

How did human civilization react?

Corey's voice was unusually muffled.

The crew member trembled slightly, prostrated himself at Corey's feet, and whispered, "They... seem to be escorting the Talodan civilization."

"Damn it!!"

Corey slammed his muscular, scaly arm down on the control panel beside him with a sharp, resounding clang: "Damn human civilization!"

It took a few deep breaths to calm its inner anxiety and said again, "You, immediately report this situation to the mothership."

"And you, continue to send communication requests to human civilization."

"Sir, what about the fleet?" another crew member asked. "What should we do with the fleet?"

"The fleet..." A ruthless glint appeared in Corey's eyes. "The fleet continues its advance, as if we know nothing about this!"

"Damn it, it's just a level five civilization?!"

"Today, I'm going to steal a few starships from this Level 5 civilization!"

"Everyone, perk up!"

"If this deal goes through, the emperor will definitely reward us handsomely!"

"You can imagine how I became a general!"

Upon hearing Kore's words, the expressions on the faces of the crew members in the command room changed slightly.

From initial worry and fear to later excitement, bloodlust, and madness, it all happened in just a few seconds!

Kore was a veteran general.

At that time, when the Eugene civilization was only a level two civilization, Kore's fleet encountered a level three civilization fleet.

It managed to seize several relatively undamaged third-tier warships from that fleet by relying on its fearless and persistent fighting style.

Benefiting from this, the Eugene civilization opened the door to a Level 3 civilization.

The reputation of the Eugene civilization spread throughout this star system.
