Cataclysmic Era: I can unlock the tech tree

"pity……"

Inside the Dimension Lab, Lü Yongchang looked at the Klein bottle being reconstructed in the holographic projection, his eyes filled with regret: "If only its stability were higher."

Song Yunzan responded in his usual calm tone, "This is our next goal."

"At the very least, we must safely deliver the high-precision detector into this Klein bottle."

"This will also be of great help to the research on higher-dimensional spacetime theory."

Lü Yongchang nodded, turned his gaze back to the complex calculation model.

He frowned slightly and pointed at the projection in front of him: "I think this is related to the calculation model. 156 gravitational nodes are a bit many, but not enough to have such a big impact!"

Song Yunzan nodded in agreement: "You're right. After many experiments and discussions, our current conclusion is also like that."

"However... we haven't been able to find the problem yet."

Lü Yongchang remained silent.

The laboratory suddenly fell silent, and the atmosphere became somewhat heavy.

Suddenly, Lü Yongchang circled several areas in the projection and broke the heavy atmosphere by saying, "I feel there might be a problem with these areas."

"Send me all the experimental data, I'll go back and study it carefully."

"We need to resolve this stability issue as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise appeared on Song Yunzan's usually expressionless face.

"How many?" he asked, somewhat taken aback.

"Not many, just three or four places." Lü Yongchang scratched his head, his attention still on the projection. "I'm not entirely sure, but it looks a bit strange; there must be a problem."

Song Yunzan: ...

As expected of you.

……

At this moment, in a desolate star field 1800 light-years away from the Kepler 452 galaxy.

As ripples spread across the ocean of time and space, the probe-type starship is conducting its final exploration of this desolate star field.

Messages of tachyon were transmitted to the distant Kepler 452 galaxy.

suddenly.

The warp drive's fluctuations vanished abruptly from this star field!

As the ripples on the ocean of time and space gradually drifted into the distance, they also gradually subsided.

This desolate star field has once again returned to its former tranquility.

……

Tachyon signals travel very quickly, with little delay even over a distance of 1800 light-years.

"Warning! Emergency!!"

The instant the probe starship disappeared, a piercing alarm blared throughout the dimensional laboratory!

At the same time, the azure blue holographic projection in front of Lü Yongchang instantly turned blood red.

"Abnormal situation!"

"Unable to detect tachyon signal from probe ship 129C. Repeat, unable to detect tachyon signal from probe ship 129C!"

"Signal loss area:..."

"A risk assessment is underway. Probability of encountering an unknown attack: 95%"

"The UNHCR's Level 1 combat readiness alert has been activated."

"Signal re-search procedure is in progress."

"We are dispatching exploration ships and probes to surrounding star systems..."

Before Lü Yongchang could react, Zero had already completed a series of risk assessments and emergency response operations according to the preset procedures.

The moment the highest level of combat readiness alarm sounded, the entire Kepler 452b was filled with piercing alarms!

Whether it was the Academy of Sciences or the People's Union Parliament, a blood-red holographic projection appeared in front of everyone!

"Holy crap..."

Realizing what had happened, Lü Yongchang instinctively blurted out a curse.

It all happened so suddenly that he wasn't prepared at all!

"How could the signal from a reconnaissance starship suddenly disappear?!"

He asked urgently, "Are there any images of an attack?!"

"Zero! Retrieve all the last data transmitted back by the probe!"

Lin Yongnian and Song Yunzan, standing to the side, were still in shock.

Since human civilization reached Level VI, we have never encountered such an emergency.

The new generation naturally lacks relevant "practical experience".

Although they all had the knowledge in this area, it was clear that such an emergency could not be handled by relying solely on book theories.

The two exchanged a glance, a hint of panic flashing in their eyes.

But looking at Lü Yongchang's solemn expression, the panic in their hearts inexplicably dissipated by more than half. It seemed that as long as Lü Yongchang was there, human civilization would never encounter any accidents.

……

The blood-red holographic projection rapidly magnified.

Various detailed data were presented to the three academicians.

Lu Yongchang frowned and quickly flipped through various data.

"No trace of advanced civilization, no signs of attack..."

There were no warning signs before the signal disappeared.

"Did they suddenly lose contact?"

"Zero, temporarily cancel the Level 1 combat readiness alert." After pondering for a long time, Lü Yongchang gave the order softly, "This doesn't seem like an attack from an advanced civilization."

While a Level 6 civilization may not be considered powerful, it's not so incapable of detecting an attack!

Based on this data, Lü Yongchang and his two companions roughly reconstructed the "crime scene" in their minds.

The probe ship sailed through the desolate, empty star field, conducting a thorough survey of the surrounding environment.

Suddenly, the probe vanished into space, and the tachyon signals it transmitted ceased abruptly.

Lü Yongchang's expression shifted slightly.

This scene...

Why does it look so familiar?

He turned his head and looked at the dazzling light path that was slowly "flowing" in the giant holographic projection.

"A Klein bottle?!"

The three of them said in unison.
