Cataclysmic Era: I can unlock the tech tree

The document issued by [10] clearly took into full account the construction capabilities of a normal level 5 civilization.

The precision standards of those tool kits and basic accessories have almost reached the limits of human civilization today.

Of course, for the devices left behind by the Tenth Empire, this is probably the most basic requirement.

Otherwise, [10] wouldn't have set up those three screening procedures in the first place.

As a Level II artificial intelligence, zero cannot solve the problem of machining accuracy.

Therefore, the processing and manufacturing of various high-precision components consumes a lot of time.

Considering efficiency issues, the energy replenishment and basic maintenance work of the mass-energy conversion device were combined.

One week later.

An experimental ship carrying a large amount of antimatter and various precision components departed from the research fleet and sped toward the Imperial Fortress, propelled by its antimatter engine.

……

The spacetime fluctuations caused by short-distance spatial jumps constantly appeared inside the fortress.

Each space jump transports a portion of the robots and supplies to the floating land where the silicon-based jellyfish reside.

In order not to affect the normal development of the silicon-based jellyfish, and also to maintain the purity of their faith, this emergency repair plan was scheduled for standard nighttime on the Imperial homeworld.

At the same time, [10] remotely reduced the concentration of free electrons in the area where the silicon-based jellyfish were located through the mother planet fortress, and shut down those large batteries - when the concentration of free electrons dropped to a certain level, the silicon-based jellyfish would enter a hibernation state similar to biological hibernation.

Once all preparations were complete, the "Enrogete Repair Team," composed of thousands of scientific research robots, set off for the target area aboard planetary landing vehicles.

In addition to scientific research robots, these planetary landers also carried a large number of antimatter containers.

As he watched the convoy of transport vehicles, arranged in neat formation and speeding across the dark gray floating land in the holographic projection, Lü Yongchang suddenly realized something, and his eyes turned strange.

If he were to give the order to release all this antimatter simultaneously...

Even a fortress built by a peak level seven civilization probably couldn't withstand such an attack, right?

After all, the inside of a fortress is always the easiest to breach.

Despite saying that, the thought of allowing the transport convoy to carry such a huge amount of antimatter into the Ice Giant's [Ten] made Lü Yongchang's mind waver.

perhaps……

Does the other side really have the ability to withstand this kind of internal explosion?

Suddenly, a thought that surprised even himself arose in Lü Yongchang's mind.

The next second, he completely suppressed his desire to cause trouble.

……

Time passed slowly.

The transport convoy, composed of planetary landing vehicles, successfully arrived at its destination guided by wavy road signs.

The night was deep.

The "Sky Dome," located 2.5 kilometers from the floating land, was completely dark at this moment, emitting not even the slightest bit of light.

The high-powered searchlights of the scientific research robots and planetary landers became the only light source at this time and place.

In the thick white fog, the beams of the searchlights, due to the Tyndall effect, clearly showed straight paths of light.

In the distance, the tribe, built of dark gray "houses," was quiet and undisturbed.

Thanks to the advance arrangements made by [Ten], these silicon-based jellyfish had already entered a dormant state.

Click... Click...

The floating land beneath the research robot's feet emitted a few crisp sounds, which were particularly clear in the silent night.

They marched with a clear goal toward the target of this maintenance task—the mass-energy conversion device.

Although it was the first time repairing a technological creation of a Level 7 civilization, it was not a difficult task for Zero, who had obtained the "Repair Manual".

Especially after it was simulated millions of times within the central computer.

Under zero-level control, these scientific research robots quickly opened the maintenance channel of the mass-energy equivalence device.

After receiving the so-called "maintenance manual," Lü Yongchang was surprised to discover that this massive piece of equipment, which was over fifty meters long, was only the tip of the iceberg of the complete system.

The portion exposed on the ground is only the tip of the iceberg, accounting for only about 10% of the entire device's volume.

The rest of the space was hidden within the floating land beneath their feet, including the so-called energy pathway.

Therefore, just like replenishing its energy, repairing this mass-energy conversion device is not an easy task.

The maintenance access road goes straight down, like a deep well.

This also aligns with the physical characteristics of the individuals from the Tenth Empire—their bodies, resembling cylinders, allow them to "fall" into the spacious area at the bottom via this maintenance passage.

For human civilization's scientific research robots, which are "small in stature," this is even less of a problem.

With the help of the unified field, the robot fell at a constant speed and then landed smoothly in the huge cavity inside.

It was a huge cavity that was over 450 meters high.

The cavity was filled with various parts and devices of unknown purpose.

Connected by various energy pathways, they together form a sophisticated and complex mass-energy conversion device.

A unique aesthetic, born from an unfamiliar design concept, is clearly reflected before everyone, impacting everyone's worldview.

But these were not Lu Yongchang's main concerns.

Instead, they were the control consoles that were flashing their indicator lights and in normal working order.

The saying goes well.

If there's a console, then there must be a data transmission channel.

With a data transmission channel, there is no room for maneuver.

Lu Yongchang's heart, which had been beating calmly, suddenly became pounding.

A previously abandoned thought suddenly ignited like a spark encountering pure oxygen!

or……

Should we let Zero try to hack into the other party's system?

If this succeeds, human civilization will be able to directly access the database and homeworld fortress of a level seven peak civilization!

"Yongchang..."

Fang Xu's slightly strange voice rang out beside him, interrupting his reverie: "I said... you wouldn't be thinking of making a move against [Ten], would you?"

"Ahem!" Lu Yongchang coughed awkwardly, his expression somewhat embarrassed after his thoughts were exposed. "Of course... of course not."

Seeing the meaningful glances cast at him by the group of researchers around him, Lü Yongchang chuckled awkwardly.

"Okay, I admit, a little bit."

Fang Xu was not surprised by this answer.

Near Zhu Zhechi, near the ink is black.

The same thought flashed through his mind when he saw those normally functioning consoles.

But as his deputy, he still needed to fulfill his duties—to appropriately remind Lü Yongchang of the risks involved in this matter.

Fang Xu frowned slightly, organizing his thoughts: "Although [Ten] is just a weak artificial intelligence, the [Tenth Empire] behind it..."

"Human civilization has already provoked two top powers: the Cleaners and the Pastoralists. If it were to also antagonize the Tenth Empire..."
