Cataclysmic Era: I can unlock the tech tree

Four months later.

Earth year 3622.

Beyond the Kepler 452 galaxy.

Accompanied by a not-so-strong spacetime fluctuation, a massive fleet suddenly appeared in the otherwise silent universe.

The next moment, some small meteorites in front of the fleet instantly turned into dust, becoming a speck of dust in the vast universe.

At the same time, a tachyon message was rapidly transmitted towards the Heng galaxy ahead.

……

Four months of living on the fleet gave the Talodans a general understanding of the lifestyle and habits of human civilization.

Human culture, with an unstoppable momentum, permeated the Talodan civilization from every nook and cranny.

Especially after learning about the history of human civilization, the Talodan civilization is filled with a strong sense of reverence for human civilization.

For them, the entire history of human civilization is an epic that is both extremely tragic and magnificent.

If we compare the history of human civilization to a glass of strong liquor, then the Talodan civilization, which lasted for tens of thousands of years, is like a glass of calm, unperturbed boiled water.

They can hardly imagine how human civilization has developed from a weak Level 1 civilization to a powerful Level 5 civilization in just 1600 years!

They find it even harder to imagine the various crises that human civilization has encountered in the past 1600 years.

In the eyes of these black and white balls, not to mention the several wars between civilizations with vastly unequal strength, the solar crisis alone was enough to wipe out this civilization in its cradle!

And so, without anyone noticing, the emergence of another faith within the Talodan civilization began.

The object of faith is naturally human civilization.

As a key figure spanning 1600 years of history, Lü Yongchang's image is deeply etched in the minds of the Talodan people, even though they have never met him.

Given time, the seeds of faith will surely sprout in the Talodan civilization.

Correspondingly.

The culture of the Talodan civilization also invaded human civilization in return.

Not only the expeditionary fleet, but also within the Kepler 452 system, a trend of valuing roundness as beauty has emerged.

In a short time, all kinds of artworks outlined with mysterious curves emerged one after another.

These artworks also brought a positive boost to the Talodan civilization!

The continuous fusion and integration of the two cultures has produced effects far exceeding the scope of 1+1=2!

Cultural exchange has brought far more than just artistic progress to human civilization; it has also led to advancements in scientific research!

Perhaps due to a more open-minded approach, the Chinese Academy of Sciences has increased the rate at which it produces new research findings by 50% in the past four months!

Curvature nano-intrusion device, new antimatter naval gun, new space agriculture and aquaculture system...

In terms of theoretical research, remarkable achievements have also been made.

Interstellar trade system, interstellar cultural system, interstellar economic system...

The addition of the Talodan civilization was like a spring of fresh water, further accelerating the development of human civilization.

……

Edge of the Kepler 452 galaxy.

The fleet that had been waiting for a long time activated its antimatter engine the moment it received the tachyon's message.

Under Zero's control, they slowly sailed out of the Heng system and headed towards the triumphant expeditionary fleet.

……

"By Zanka..."

"Is this the Heng star system, a Type V civilization?!"

"That's...that's amazing!"

"Holy crap!" A familiar exclamation came from the side: "That's awesome! This welcoming fleet actually has two Titan motherships!"

Unlike Aldan, the quick-thinking Milo had already mastered a portion of the vocabulary of human civilization.

Of course, through constant exposure, Milo is most familiar with those few simple yet effective syllables.

Hearing that stirring, clear and resonant exclamation, Aldan looked at Milo standing beside him with a blank expression.

At this moment, Milo had completely... the entire panda had climbed onto the windowsill of the porthole, staring wide-eyed at the approaching welcoming fleet with great curiosity.

"Mind your manners!" Aldan hissed.

As it spoke, it glanced at the human crew members not far away, fearing that they might develop a bad impression of the Talodan civilization.

Clearly, it was overthinking it.

The crew members looked at Milo with smiles on their faces, seemingly pleased to see such a scene.

Aldan sighed helplessly.

It was clear about the reason.

"I never expected this..."

Aldan shook his head and muttered to himself, "The Talodan civilization, a level three civilization, has actually stooped to the point of relying on its appearance for a living."

"Isn't this great?" Milo looked curiously at the futuristic starships. "They include food and lodging!"

"You can also exchange contribution points and credits for various supplies!"

"On another note, our cultural materials have earned us a lot of contribution points and credits."

"Thank you, Zanka, for giving us this appearance!"

Aldan's breath hitched slightly, and he glanced at Milo with annoyance: "How could this be a good thing?"

"If this continues, the development potential of the Talodan civilization will be completely lost!"

"I have a question," Milo countered. "Chief, are you sure the Talodan civilization still has the potential for development?"

"Our scientific research is progressing more and more slowly."

"Without human civilization, the Talodan civilization would have perished in this universe sooner or later."

"This time it's the Eugene civilization, next time it might be the Jin-Yue civilization, who knows?"

Aldan's face immediately turned ugly.

The words were a bit harsh, but it knew that Milo hadn't said anything wrong.

Milo didn't turn around, still gazing out the porthole: "Calm down, Chief."

"What human civilization needs is a subordinate civilization, not a pet civilization."

"It's normal for us to receive some preferential treatment now that we've just joined."

"It won't be long before the Talodan civilization returns to normal."

"Don't believe me?" Milo glanced at Aldan, then human-like shrugged his fur. "You'll see when the time comes!"

Aldan glanced at Milo suspiciously.

It remains skeptical of this.

"Oh, right," Milo suddenly spoke up again, "I'm thinking of using the contribution points and credits earned from cultural data to exchange for some necessary technological resources for the Talodan civilization."

After a moment's thought, Aldan nodded in agreement to Milo's request.

Why not take advantage of it?

Once interstellar trade begins, these credits will only have value if they circulate!
