Cataclysmic Era: I can unlock the tech tree

Advances in the theoretical system have rapidly broken through the original research bottlenecks.

The research project on the "Star Core Reaction Interference Device" quickly got on track.

At the same time, this research also gave Lü Yongchang a lot of inspiration regarding matter disintegration fields.

The two complement each other, bringing about a significant boost.

Five years later.

Earth year 3635.

The first generation of the "Star Core Reaction Interference Device" has been successfully developed.

According to theoretical data, this giant device, which is the size of the moon, can significantly enhance the nuclear fusion reaction in a star's core and cause it to release sufficiently powerful gamma rays.

Of course, this is still a long way from triggering a supernova.

However, the successful development of this device still ignited research enthusiasm within the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

same year.

Kepler 452b completed the final step of its modification work.

……

Looking out the porthole at the enormous planet where blue and green coexisted, a hint of joy appeared in Lü Yongchang's eyes.

Although it is unknown how long this peace will last, the completion of the new home has ultimately brought a lot of positive feedback to human civilization, which has been wandering for a long time.

He could clearly sense that the Academy of Sciences was filled with a celebratory atmosphere during this period.

Almost every researcher had a hint of joy and anticipation in their eyes.

Furthermore, interstellar travel with the Pandaren and the Talodans has been officially established. The first batch of Talodans who have completed genetic enhancement arrived in the Kepler 452 system as envoys a few days ago.

They are about to witness the largest and most solemn ceremony in the history of human civilization.

"Professor, Congressman Hong requests that you proceed to Kepler 452b as soon as possible; the awakening ceremony is about to begin."

An electronic synthesized voice sounded from the side, pulling him back from his wandering thoughts.

"it is good."

Lu Yongchang's lips curled up slightly with a faint smile as he walked steadily toward the shuttle not far away.

Currently, human starships are too large to take off and land on planetary surfaces, and some super-large starships are even forced to disintegrate due to tidal forces.

Therefore, small shuttles became the most convenient means of transportation.

However, the transport capacity of a shuttle can never match that of a large starship.

A vague idea also began to form in Lü Yongchang's mind.

perhaps……

Should anti-gravity technology be put on the research agenda?

Over the course of his research, his understanding of the Grand Unified Theory has gradually deepened, and he has also gained some insights into the implementation of antigravity.

"Whoosh!"

The shuttle's doors suddenly opened, revealing a spacious interior.

Lu Yongchang shook his head, pulled back his wandering thoughts, and stepped into the shuttle.

Under Zero's control, the shuttle smoothly drove out of the slowly opening port gate and headed towards the blue planet not far away!

……

Awakening ritual.

As the name suggests, it is a ritual that awakens billions of humans who are still in hibernation.

The shuttle landed smoothly on a vast and flat square—the Central Square of Human Civilization.

In the very center of the square stands a square monument reaching 10,000 meters in height—the Monument to the Pioneers of Human Civilization.

The ceremony was held in the area below the monument, which can be seen as a prayer for the pioneers of civilization who made silent contributions.

The shuttle door slowly opened, and Lü Yongchang, dressed in a suit, stepped out.

A gentle breeze from Kepler 452b brushed against his face and slightly ruffled his hair.

The cheers coming from not far away drew Lü Yongchang's attention.

He is a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Looking at those familiar faces, Lü Yongchang's originally calm heart was suddenly filled with an overwhelming sense of excitement!

He took a deep breath to calm himself down, then calmly raised his right hand and gestured to them.

He was met with even louder cheers.

The number of people participating in the awakening ceremony was not large; apart from the members of the Academy of Sciences and the parliament, there was only a group of round, black and white dumplings.

Like humans, the Talodan black and white dumplings, who had come as envoys, stared wide-eyed with curiosity at the scene on the stage.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Lü Yongchang slowly walked towards his seat.

Next to that seat sat an elderly man with gray hair.

"Yongchang, you've arrived."

Hong Qiming said with a gentle smile.

Lu Yongchang's eyes were slightly dazed. In that brief moment, he seemed to see the gentle smile that the old councilor had shown him a thousand years ago.

"Yes, I'm here," Lü Yongchang said, his voice a little hoarse. "I'm not late, am I?"

"Of course not." Hong Qiming's smile grew even gentler. "For you, it's never too late."

……

"clang!"

As a melodious bell rang out from all around, the once clear sky seemed to be covered by something, instantly darkening.

That's a giant color-changing screen that's deployed on the synchronous track!

Turning black, it firmly blocked the scorching light from the main star!

The awakening ritual has begun.

In the pitch-black darkness, the monument to the pioneers of human civilization, standing ten thousand meters tall, emitted a deep blue light.

At the same time, the holographic image generator set on the giant screen began to work.

An enormous holographic projection, gradually becoming clearer, appeared directly in the dark sky!

"From the solar system to the Proxima Centauri system; from the Gliese 555 star system to the Kepler 452 star system..."

Human civilization has endured countless hardships and setbacks...

As Lü Yongchang's solemn voice emanated from the surrounding speakers, the colossal holographic images in the sky began to change one by one.

Helium Flash Crisis, Proxima Centauri War, War of the Lator Civilization, Death of the [Painting], War of the Bosa Civilization, Proxima Centauri Tail-Cutting Project...

Images of the brutal battles flashed before everyone's eyes like a revolving lantern.

"In these crises and battles, countless people sacrificed themselves, paying the ultimate price for the continuation of human civilization..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a dense string of names was projected into the sky.

"After the storm comes the rainbow. All the hardships that cannot defeat human civilization will ultimately become the driving force for its progress!"

The giant projection rapidly recreates the transformation scenes of the Gliese 555 and Kepler 452 galaxies.

"Ladies and gentlemen, human civilization today possesses basic self-defense capabilities."

"The era of catastrophe that lasted 1600 years has come to an end."

Facing the glistening gazes of everyone, Lü Yongchang took a deep breath and said in a solemn voice, "I hereby announce!"

"Activate all homeships!"

"Wake-up procedure, begin now!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the holographic projection in the sky vanished instantly, and the giant color-changing screen returned to its original transparent state.

The light from the main star shines once again upon Kepler 452b!

Lü Yongchang raised his head and looked at the cloudless sky.

The outline of the Earth and the planetary fortress under construction came into clear view of him.
