Cataclysmic Era: I can unlock the tech tree

Crossing the region of the black hole at the center of the Andromeda Galaxy is merely an "insignificant" interlude in the entire journey.

This reaffirmed Lü Yongchang's belief in the strength of his backer—didn't he see that even a powerful civilization like the Cleaners didn't dare to act rashly?

More than sixty years later, in the year 10100 of the Earth calendar.

It is 8000 light-years away from the region of the AGBH-01 and AGBH-02 binary black holes.

In just two hundred years, human civilization has almost accomplished the feat of traversing the Andromeda Galaxy!

When Lü Yongchang realized this, he felt a little dazed.

Humanity today is merely a near-level 7 civilization.

From this perspective... when humanity reaches the level of a Type 7 civilization, won't the Andromeda Galaxy become too narrow and crowded?

No wonder the Tenth Empire chose to continue its expedition...

This is almost unavoidable if we want to ensure the continued progress of civilization!

the reason is simple.

All scientific research must be based on the observation of various real phenomena.

To master more advanced technologies, more extreme and complex "celestial events" are necessary.

This is also the fundamental reason why the Cleaners civilization built the Ring Universe Accelerator.

……

"Professor, the tachyon broadcast has received a new signal, on the frequency band..."

The synthesized electronic voice interrupted Lü Yongchang's reverie.

A look of surprise flashed in Lü Yongchang's eyes as he looked at the glowing white text that appeared in the holographic projection.

This frequency band... is a general-purpose AC frequency band established by the neutral faction!

The human fleet has finally received a message from a Type VI civilization on this frequency!

Is the rumor true?

[Unsure...]

We've only heard about it...

Scattered pieces of information gradually appeared in the holographic projection.

It is 127 light-years away from the collision zone of the AGBH-01 and AGBH-02 binary black holes.

Outside the nameless Heng galaxy.

Accompanied by a strong spatial fluctuation, a fleet of five hundred starships appeared in this relatively open area.

This intense spatial-temporal fluctuation immediately triggered an alarm in the [Alcott Civilization].

……

"Warning! Abnormal spacetime fluctuations detected!"

"Warning! Tachyon message received from an unknown civilization!"

"warn……"

Inside the command center of the Earth, before Lü Yongchang and the others could even catch their breath, alarms began to sound incessantly.

The translated information also appeared rapidly in the giant holographic projection.

[An unfamiliar Level 6 civilization. This is the territory of the Olcott civilization. Please leave immediately!]

At the same time, accompanied by increasingly loud warnings, strangely shaped warships appeared around the fleet, completely surrounding the human fleet.

Faced with such a sudden situation, Lü Yongchang quickly issued orders after a brief moment of surprise.

"Immediately deploy in defensive formation!"

"Open the mini-cosmic ports, release the warships and planetary fortresses!"

At the same time, he quickly edited the response tachyon information in the holographic projection in front of him.

[The Olcott Civilization, we are the Enrogete Civilization under the Silicon-Based Alliance.]

Please believe that we have no ill intentions.

【…】

In short, first clarify your identity and raise the banner of the Silicon-based Alliance and the Neutrality Faction!

Whether it was the warships that appeared out of nowhere from the small universe port or the fact that the identity of the Silicon-based Alliance intimidated this Level 6 civilization, the warships, which looked like stacks of disc-shaped mud, all stopped their encirclement and quickly retreated.

……

Within the nameless Heng galaxy, the [Alcott Civilization].

In Alcott's complex neural network, waves of increasingly intense neural signals appeared.

Through the senses of its offspring, it clearly observed the appearance of those "intruders".

What an ugly warship!

This was its first reaction.

But the next moment, it was deeply shocked!

That's... microcosm technology?!

The other side is a level seven civilization?!

It frantically issued commands to its offspring: Retreat! Retreat immediately!

Immediately afterwards, a message appeared before its eyes.

The moment it saw the information clearly, it was as if another bomb had exploded in its nerve center!

Silicon Alliance!

The opposing side is a Level 7 civilization of the Silicon-Based Alliance!!

Inside the flagship of civilization, the bloated Olcott reinforced the order for the sub-entities to retreat!

At the same time, its body trembled slightly as it edited a fast message in response to the other party.

[The Enroget Civilization...]

No, cross that out.

【Dear Enroget civilization, we have no intention of being your enemy.】

Please forgive our rudeness; we are willing to pay the price.

【…】

The main theme is humility.

P.S.: Thanks to Nanpai Chen Sanshao for the expert certification!

Thank you so much!
