Cataclysmic Era: I can unlock the tech tree

As Aldan stepped onto the solid deck, an overwhelming mix of emotions welled up within him.

It's hard to explain the feeling.

Joy? Panic? Confusion? Or excitement?

The scalding blood rushed into its brain instantly, giving it a strong feeling of dizziness.

At that moment, Aldan felt his mind go blank, and his body subconsciously followed the directional signs on the holographic projection into the temporary disinfection facility.

Robotic arms automatically extend and quickly and thoroughly disinfect the microorganisms on the life support suits.

To ensure the safety of both civilizations and to avoid unnecessary trouble, this is a necessary procedure for meetings between the two civilizations.

For convenience, the meeting place was set up directly in the hangar of the Titan Mothership.

Following the holographic guidance, Aldan walked out of the disinfection facility with a blank expression.

It froze on the spot after just one glance.

The lush forest, and the various convenient facilities hidden among it...

Everything seemed incredibly familiar to Aldan!

This, this is...

"Docaril Central Park?!"

Aldan's confusion vanished instantly, and it quickly moved its short legs forward.

Soon, it arrived at a tree with lush branches and leaves.

It carefully raised its hand and gently stroked the tree whose surface was covered with various curved patterns.

Swish!

The claws pierced through the tree trunk with ease.

Its movement caused the entire tree to tremble slightly.

The shaking quickly stopped, and the scene returned to its original tranquility.

fake……

A sense of understanding dawned on Aldan.

All of this was achieved using the aerial projection imaging technology that Milo mentioned.

The source of the data was, naturally, the central computer of the Talodan fleet.

Aldan gently withdrew his arm, his eyes filled with sorrow.

No more.

Docaril Central Park no longer exists.

Even the rich homeworld of the Talodan civilization may no longer exist.

"Chief..." Milo, who was following behind Aldan, whispered a reminder, "Someone's coming."

"How is it? How's the accuracy of the reproduction?"

A familiar voice came from afar, reaching Aldan and the rest of the Talodan through the microphone on their life-sustaining suits: "Do you like the setting for this meeting?"

Upon seeing the person who had arrived, Aldan's heart skipped a beat, and his previously calm mood turned anxious and uneasy once again.

That's the commander of the human fleet. His name is rather strange, something like... Bai Yixuan?

Aldan instantly recalled a series of basic information he had been "cramming" on over the past two days.

A problem has arisen.

The life support suit was not equipped with a translation device or a display device.

Aldan's eyes were filled with confusion.

Just as it was somewhat at a loss, a deep blue holographic image appeared beside it, and lines of rounded Talodan script quickly appeared before its eyes.

Aldan breathed a sigh of relief.

Level 5 civilization is truly amazing!

It exclaimed from the bottom of its heart!

"Commander Bai... Commander Bai!" Aldan quickly went to greet him and, following the customs of human civilization, extended his right hand... his right claw to Bai Yixuan. "The scene is so realistic, I initially thought it was real!"

Bai Yixuan smiled and extended his hand, shaking hands with Aldan through the life support suit.

"Welcome to the Galactic Pan-Human Federation."

"The human fleet has entered warp drive mode and is expected to reach its destination in four months."

"Excuse me for asking, approximately where is the target star system, Heng?" Aldan's eyes flickered slightly as he asked in a low voice.

"You didn't know?" Bai Yixuan said, somewhat surprised, "Your detector caused a little misunderstanding back then!"

Aldan's heart skipped a beat.

A small misunderstanding? Are you sure?!

"9...9 light-years away?!" A gasp came from behind Aldan. "Only four months to get there?!"

"By Zanka..."

"This is..." Aldan quickly explained to Bai Yixuan.

"I know, Milo, the scientist of your civilization." Bai Yixuan looked at Milo with a smile and said in a seductive voice, "Of course, our fleet uses warp drive technology, which can currently reach up to thirty times the speed of light."

"Want to know how it works?"

Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in Milo's eyes, and it swallowed hard: "Really, really?"

"Milo!" Ardan hissed, "Mind your manners!"

"Of course you can." Bai Yixuan wasn't angry at all; in fact, he said with a smile, "According to the rules set by the Academy of Sciences, you can exchange this technology for contribution points and credits in the future."

Tempted by technology, Milo forgot Aldan's warning and instinctively asked, "What do we need to do to gain enough contribution points and credits?"

Bai Yixuan shrugged: "You'll need to go to the Kepler 452 star system to find out."

"The specific details will be explained to you in detail by Academician Lü Yongchang, the chief scientist of human civilization."

Milo withdrew his expectant gaze, looking dejected.

Aldan glared at Milo beside him and abruptly changed the subject: "Commander Bai, the flagship of human civilization is truly magnificent. When I first saw it..."

"Flagship?" Bai Yixuan interrupted Aldan. "I need to correct one point: the Titan Mothership is merely a secondary flagship of human civilization."

"At the same time, the current fleet is equivalent to a small squad in terms of size."

Aldan's voice abruptly stopped, the unfinished words stuck in his throat.

"Yes, right..." Ardan abruptly changed the subject again, "The firelight outside just now..."

"Oh, that's Eugene's fleet."

Bai Yixuan waved his hand with a smile, saying nonchalantly, "They tried to threaten us and said they would take action against you."

"We had no choice but to destroy Eugene's fleet."

Aldan's expression seemed to freeze.

Seemingly noticing Aldan's unusual expression, Bai Yixuan quickly added, "Don't worry, we launched a saturation attack with warp missiles."

"Not a single survivor will be found on the battlefield!"

"The possibility of information transmission has been basically eliminated, so you don't need to worry about retaliation from the Eugene civilization."

"Moreover, the human fleet would not allow such a thing to happen."

Bai Yixuan said with certainty.

Aldan: "..."

Is it worried about this issue?!

It looked at the perfectly replicated Central Park of Docaril in front of it with a sense of despair, and suddenly felt a pang of regret.

What kind of civilization did the Talodan civilization join?!
