Cataclysmic Era: I can unlock the tech tree

As all construction projects gradually got on track, Lü Yongchang sent a tachyon broadcast to the Saikel civilization and the Silician Ray.

Upon receiving the tachyon message from human civilization, the Sekol civilization responded with utter astonishment.

"Yes."

While inspecting the construction progress of the neutron starship, Lü Yongchang sent a message to the Sekor civilization: "Human civilization's research on dimensions has reached a bottleneck."

"Just like the Tenth Empire."

"After internal discussions within the Academy of Sciences, we unanimously agreed that finding naturally occurring four-dimensional cavitation structures may be the only shortcut."

Under Lü Yongchang's leadership, almost all ordinary 4D technologies have made breakthrough progress.

but……

Lu Yongchang had no clue about the technology related to dimensional ascension.

He can only be considered a 3.5-dimensional being after all.

Perhaps, after a long period of research, he can completely decipher the mysteries of four dimensions.

This is already a huge advantage—in the entire universe, apart from the Pastoralists, only the Cleaners have completely mastered four dimensions through four-dimensional cavitation.

Other level-eight civilizations would likely find it difficult to break through this final "barrier" before discovering the four-dimensional void.

However, modern human civilization doesn't have that much time.

In order to have sufficient self-defense capabilities, human civilization must find so-called shortcuts!

That is, a naturally occurring four-dimensional cavitation structure!

Saikel was speechless for a moment.

So they've caught up with the research progress of the Tenth Empire?

Although the Sekel civilization had anticipated this situation, they still did not expect it to happen so quickly.

The Laniakea Supercluster is currently not at peace.

The Sekel civilization attempted to dissuade them: "Apart from the Virgo Cluster, the entire Laniakea Supercluster is engulfed in war."

The war between the Cleaners and the Pastoralists is escalating; would it be wise to venture into other star systems at this time...?

There is likely to be considerable risk.

Looking at the text in the holographic projection, Lü Yongchang's expression remained unchanged.

"Of course I know."

"but……"

"By comparison, staying in place is the greatest danger."

"Isn't that right?"

The Sekor civilization fell silent.

Perhaps this is the difference between civilizations.

For most civilizations, staying in a safe zone and resigning themselves to fate is the best way out.

However, for civilizations with top development potential, strengthening themselves by all means is the right path.

As long as you are strong enough, the so-called cleaners and pastoralists are nothing but fleeting clouds.

[Respected human civilization.]

The Koser civilization is willing to follow in your footsteps!

Upon seeing this line of text, a soft cheer erupted in the laboratory, and Lü Yongchang smiled faintly.

Since arriving in the M87 system, this is the first time the Sekor civilization has used an honorific title to refer to human civilization.

This means that human civilization has officially stepped into the most advanced field in this universe!

Although we cannot yet compare with ancient monsters like the Cleaners and the Pastoralists who have been developing for countless years, there is no doubt that human civilization has now begun to qualify to compete for dominance in the universe!

……

Earth year 15000.

Accompanied by a powerful spacetime fluctuation, a massive and stable wormhole structure appeared at the edge of the M87 galaxy.

Led by the human fleet, the Sekel fleet slowly entered the wormhole.

As for the silicon ray...

At this moment, he was huddled within the microcosm of human civilization.

What? On the move?

Nothing beats the comfort of a starry night bath when you're on the go.

Furthermore... even a level seven civilization can't keep up with the speed of two level eight civilizations!

In order not to hinder human civilization, the silicon ray is willing to "sacrifice its freedom" and temporarily reside in the microcosm of human civilization.

He really made me cry my eyes out.

……

Once all the starships had entered the wormhole, the distorted spacetime structure slowly dissipated.

The turbulent ocean of time and space has returned to calm once again.

This powerful spacetime fluctuation naturally did not escape the notice of the Cleaners civilization located in the quasar region at the center of the M87 galaxy.

But they did not do anything.

On the one hand, the friction between the neutral faction and the pastoral faction is happening right before their eyes, and they don't want to cause any unnecessary trouble by clashing with the neutral faction at this critical juncture.

on the other hand……

According to intelligence from the mother civilization, the balance of the war gradually began to tilt after the Black Hole Fortress and Quark Fortress were deployed.

This massive conflict, which has permeated the entire Laniakea Supercluster, is gradually coming to an end.

For this, the pastoral faction paid the price with the lives of a large number of dimensional beings.

But the Cleaners civilization wasn't much better off—they lost countless nodes of the Ring Universe Accelerator.

This will directly affect the original plan of the cleaners' civilization.

As the final collision zone in the Cosmic Accelerator project, the Laniakea Supercluster's importance to the Cosmic Accelerator is self-evident.

At this moment, repairing the accelerator node has become the highest priority task, second only to driving out the pastoralists.

……

As for pastoral civilization...

Thanks to the neutral faction's questionable actions, there is now almost no trace of dimensional life in the Virgo Cluster.

Even outside the Virgo Cluster, few dimensional beings can be seen – the pastoralists who have achieved their goal of destroying the nodes have begun to gradually withdraw from the Laniakea Supercluster.

After the war turned against them, both the [Membrane] and other members of the Pastoral Faction focused all their attention on the Cleaners civilization.

On the other hand, no one in the entire pastoral faction expected that human civilization could advance to the eighth level of civilization, master wormhole technology, and even build a starship of the eighth level of civilization in just a few hundred years!

then……

By sheer coincidence, human civilization slipped smoothly out of the Virgo Cluster right under the noses of the Cleaners and the Pastoralists.

……

Earth year 15500.

With the maturation of wormhole technology, the speed of human civilization has been improved like never before.

It took only five hundred years for the human fleet to successfully reach the Shapley Supercluster.

(The Shapley Supercluster is about 6 million light-years from Earth.)

This is the fleet's primary objective.

The second objective is to rely on the galaxies within the Shapley Supercluster to gradually move towards the Boötes Void further ahead.

While the vacuum zero-point energy engine can directly extract energy, galactic matter is still essential to ensure efficient ultra-long-distance travel.

According to the plan, the human fleet will take a "shortcut" by traversing the entire Shapley Supercluster and entering the Tenth Empire's latest destination—the Boötes Void—from another direction!

Then, they rendezvous in the hollow region of Boötes.

This was also a proposal from the Sekor civilization.

Even modern human civilization faces considerable danger in the face of attacks from the pastoral faction.

If we were to act together with the Tenth Empire...

Of course, they are no match for the pastoral school.

But at least it can reduce the risk a little.

To ensure the safety of the "new big brother," the Sekel civilization even launched another ultra-high-power wide-area tachyon broadcast to solicit opinions from the [Tenth Empire].

As fellow countrymen from the Milky Way, the Tenth Empire, amidst surprise and delight, readily agreed to the request.

P.S.: As you can probably tell, this book is nearing its end.

I estimate it will reach its finale within a month.

The ending is hard to write, but I will try my best to update twice a day...
