Cataclysmic Era: I can unlock the tech tree

Lu Yongchang's words immediately silenced Fang Xu.

In some ways, it's better to destroy a subordinate civilization that can't fulfill its proper role!

"hiss……"

"That is indeed a problem."

Fang Xu frowned slightly and asked in a low voice, "I just looked at the data provided by the School of Sociology."

"Even the credit point exchange mechanism does not serve as a good incentive for the Eugene civilization."

"The credit point exchange mechanism was tested for a period of time during the journey to the Kepler 452 star system."

"The solution that worked so well for the Talodan civilization held no appeal for the Eugene civilization."

"These stubborn lizardmen haven't even exchanged a single technology!"

"Furthermore, they also did not apply for the interest-free loan service from Credit Points." Lü Yongchang nodded and continued, "The School of Sociology has also provided the specific reasons."

"On the one hand, it is a problem of civilized behavior style caused by biological habits."

"Judging from the history of the Eugene civilization, even on their home planet, before they became an interstellar civilization, they lived by plundering."

"This is a problem left over from the history of civilization."

"A civilization that develops through plunder has a technological system that is not only chaotic but also suffers from serious deficiencies and omissions."

"On the other hand, it is a problem of civilized institutions."

"The rigid hierarchical system leaves more than 90% of Eugene residents without a voice."

"This can be seen from the credit exchange mechanism. After Emperor Eugene spoke, the Eugene scientists never made another request to exchange for technology."

"These two problems have accumulated day after day, and now, without the help of external forces, they simply cannot correct the direction of civilization's development on their own."

"You mean..." Fang Xu looked at Lü Yongchang with suspicion, "You're planning to help them rebuild a complete civilization and technological system?"

Upon hearing this, Lü Yongchang was stunned for a moment, then looked at Fang Xu with an extremely strange gaze: "How is this possible?!"

"Do you think I'm doing charity work?"

"That's good..." Fang Xu raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead. "Human civilization's own education work already consumes a lot of computing resources. If we add the Eugene civilization on top of that..."

"The scientific research work of the Academy of Sciences will inevitably be affected to some extent!"

Lu Yongchang pondered for a moment, then slowly shook his head: "Basic standardized education is still necessary, and it won't waste much computing power."

"You can think of them as a more flexible form of artificial intelligence than 'One'."

"Of course, all of this is based on the premise that the Eugene civilization changes its current situation."

"...What are you planning to do?" Fang Xu's expression quickly turned serious.

He subconsciously turned his head and looked around.

There were only him and Lü Yongchang in the office.

He suddenly had a bad feeling.

As is customary, this matter will most likely fall to him again.

"This brings us back to the system of the Eugene civilization."

Lu Yongchang smiled slightly: "Although this feudal system had an extremely negative impact on the development of civilization, it was actually quite good for us."

"Once the problem of Emperor Eugene is solved, the Sociology Department can transform the Eugene civilization into a cog in the Pan-Human Federation as quickly as possible."

As he spoke, a holographic image automatically unfolded.

One of the displayed messages is a green, low-priority message.

"So... what am I supposed to do?" Fang Xu asked directly, his face contorted with distress.

"Um?"

Lu Yongchang abruptly stopped clicking on the holographic image, looking up in surprise at Fang Xu at the desk: "What?"

"...???" Fang Xu looked confused. "You're telling me this so you can assign me a new mission?"

Lü Yongchang: "..."

Suddenly.

His surprised gaze towards Fang Xu was tinged with a hint of guilt.

The children have been exploited to the point of being mentally impaired.

"I just wanted to ask if you have any reliable solutions."

As he spoke, Lü Yongchang sighed helplessly.

As Fang Xu gradually turned "red," he once again turned his gaze to the prompt message in the holographic image.

Mao Zhengzhi sent over his latest research findings.

Since the HIP22580 star system was terraformed, and the Nus civilization has been living normally on HIP22580f, with the IoNet gradually maturing, the biological laboratory has been continuously producing one encouraging development after another.

According to Academician Mao Zhengzhi's report, the biological laboratory has made significant progress in its research on the Italian web.

The conversion model between bioelectric signals and quantum consciousness has also been improved considerably.

"Um?"

Looking at the information in the holographic projection, Lü Yongchang raised an eyebrow slightly.

Just a moment ago, a good idea seemed to have flashed through his mind.

He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and, with the aid of his quantum state brain, chased after that fleeting, precious inspiration.

"if……"

"We can directly modify and control the mind of the Eugene civilization..."

Lu Yongchang murmured softly, "Perhaps this is the best solution."

Fang Xu's eyes widened, and he subconsciously took a step back.

A thin layer of cold sweat seeped out from his back.

As the second-in-command of the Human Union Academy of Sciences, he immediately realized the significance behind this technology.

This is an extremely dangerous technology!

"Yongchang..."

Fang Xu swallowed hard, his voice trembling slightly as he spoke: "Is this kind of technology... really possible?"

When Fang Xu asked him a question, Lü Yongchang did not respond immediately, but instead silently stared at the data in the holographic image.

a long time.

He exhaled softly and said in a very vague tone, "Who knows?"

"Theoretically speaking..."

"It is entirely possible to implant a false memory deep within the consciousness of an intelligent being using bioelectric currents."

"Just like the memory inheritance of the Nus civilization."

"I think this is even less difficult than memory inheritance."

"After all, all we need to implant is a very short memory."

At this point, Lü Yongchang turned to look at the porthole beside him, his eyes glazed over, and said, "They might have done the same thing."

A chill ran down Fang Xu's spine again: "Them?"

"who are they?!"

Lü Yongchang turned his head and stared meaningfully into Fang Xu's eyes.

"The Cleaner".

Upon hearing these three syllables, Fang Xu subconsciously held his breath.

Do you remember the Bosa civilization?

"They have a fanatical belief in the civilization of the cleaners."

"I don't believe a normal Type 5 civilization would be so ignorant."

Lu Yongchang said to himself, "It seems highly likely that the cleaners have mastered this technology."

"That is precisely why they can develop their subordinate civilizations with impunity."
