Upon sensing the familiar disturbance deep within his mind, a hint of joy flashed in Lü Yongchang's eyes.
This feeling...
The technology tree has been upgraded.
At first, Lü Yongchang was somewhat worried as he watched the experimental starship speed away like a wild horse.
After all, the success of the antimatter engine project can only be determined after various tests.
But now, Lü Yongchang can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
The reason is simple: to date, the technology tree space is the most accurate standard for judging whether a key research project is successful!
Thinking of the technologies in the fourth-level technology tree, Lü Yongchang felt boundless anticipation.
He suppressed his excitement, calmly turned to look at Fang Xu beside him, and softly called out, "Brother Xu."
"Um?"
At this moment, Fang Xu's face was slightly flushed, and his face was full of smiles.
He was clearly delighted by the successful operation of the antimatter engine.
Even so, upon hearing Lü Yongchang's call and seeing the slightly serious expression on Lü Yongchang's face, he immediately suppressed his smile and looked at Lü Yongchang with a somewhat solemn expression: "Is there a problem?"
At that moment, Fang Xu was even prepared to urgently stop the antimatter engine.
Seeing the serious expression on Fang Xu's face, Lü Yongchang chuckled and said, "Don't worry, there's no problem with the antimatter engine."
“I want to go take a break.” Lü Yongchang pointed to the office in the distance. “You will be in charge of the next experimental project.”
Fang Xu subconsciously glanced at Lü Yongchang's heavy dark circles.
Indeed, during the final stages of the antimatter engine's development, Lü Yongchang, as the project leader, had almost no rest time.
The experiment has now been basically declared a success, so it's time to take a break.
Thinking of this, he quickly straightened his expression and nodded seriously: "Don't worry, leave this to me."
...
Back in his office, the moment his body touched the chair, Lü Yongchang couldn't wait to close his eyes.
My consciousness instantly entered a fluorescent green space.
Just like the previous advancements, the bright white line continued to extend upwards, and the invisible barrier between the third-level and fourth-level civilizations was quickly broken through!
As the fluorescent green space of the technology tree continued to vibrate, Lü Yongchang's perspective also rapidly shifted upwards.
The technologies he had previously researched flashed before his eyes like a revolving lantern.
Lü Yongchang's attention was not drawn to these "passersby".
Since entering the tech tree space, his gaze has been fixed on the dim cursor at the very top.
The bright white line broke through the barrier of the level four technology tree and quickly spread to the dim cursor.
Antimatter Engine
The cursor gradually brightens.
Thin, slightly dim white lines extend from it, stretching upwards like a tree.
[Introduction to Antimatter Applications: Antimatter Bombs]
High-energy gamma-ray cluster gun
[...]
Besides these somewhat dim cursors, one already bright cursor caught Lü Yongchang's attention.
Antimatter Factory: Basic Dyson Sphere Manufacturing Technology
As Lü Yongchang focused his attention on the bright cursor, a series of technologies quickly came to mind.
After browsing through the materials, Lü Yongchang's expression suddenly became strange.
This... isn't this the Dyson Cloud and Dyson Ring system that humans have already completed halfway through?
No wonder there were no warnings in the tech tree when I completed this technology.
So, they took a shortcut and unlocked the technologies required for a Level 4 civilization ahead of time.
Lu Yongchang pulled himself out of his thoughts and focused his attention upwards as much as possible, trying to see the more advanced technology.
【gravitational……】
After expending a lot of effort, he could only make out two barely visible characters.
Even so, Lü Yongchang's heart remained burning with passion.
Could it be gravity manipulation technology?!
Thinking about the performance of the Lator civilization's flagship on the battlefield, Lü Yongchang became even more certain of his guess.
It seems we need to hurry up and advance the basic technology of a Level 4 civilization!
...
Near the host star Gliese 555.
The engineering ships were linked together to form a simple giant space factory.
Its main function is to process the various building materials transported by the [Taotie] supply ship to create extremely large Dyson clouds.
With the completion of the Dyson Sphere Phase I project, these giant space factories constructed from the hulls of engineering vessels have also disintegrated.
"incredible……"
Inside the Xuan Nu II, a ship responsible for transporting personnel, Wang Mingyuan peered through the porthole and murmured in amazement, "I never imagined that humanity had developed to this extent..."
"It's just...it's just like watching a movie!"
The next moment, an unfamiliar male voice came from beside me.
"Dude, someone who's awakened from hibernation, right?"
Wang Mingyuan turned his head and looked in the direction from which the sound came.
"You are..." he asked cautiously, facing the unfamiliar face.
It wasn't that he was cowardly, but in the month or so after waking up, he discovered that he was surrounded by powerful figures.
Because of the problem with the awakening mechanism for hibernating personnel, anyone who woke up before him was a hidden "god".
You never know whether the old man strolling on the city streets is a researcher from the Academy of Sciences or a high-ranking member of parliament.
"I?"
Faced with Wang Mingyuan's cautious inquiry, the man chuckled and said, "I'm in charge of the Dyson Sphere Phase II project."
"Hiss!" Wang Mingyuan gasped involuntarily.
Holy crap!
This is a real big shot!
How much do you know about the Dyson Sphere Phase II project?
The man asked casually, his expression relaxed.
"The Dyson Sphere Phase II project's main objective is to construct thirty to fifty Dyson rings surrounding Gliese 555, thereby increasing the output efficiency of the antimatter production base and laying the foundation for the Dyson Sphere Phase III project..."
Wang Mingyuan composed himself and began to explain in detail.
"Your basic knowledge is good."
Hearing Wang Mingyuan's detailed answer, the man nodded in satisfaction, then glanced at his wristwatch: "Large-scale engineering architect..."
"How do you think this first Dyson Belt should be constructed?"
Wang Mingyuan's breath hitched slightly.
"Don't be nervous, I'm just asking for your opinion." The man noticed Wang Mingyuan's nervousness and said with a smile, "It's okay if you answer incorrectly, after all, only a few people know the specific construction plan at the moment."
Wang Mingyuan swallowed hard, then raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.
Damn it, I'm going all out.
What if I get it right?!
At that moment, his mind was racing.
