The heavy hatch blocked all prying eyes.
Inside the office, Lü Yongchang was reclining in his office chair, his eyes closed and his brows slightly furrowed, as if he were deep in thought.
During the time the research fleet left the Kepler star system, the Academy of Sciences' research efficiency decreased considerably, but the sheer number of people made up for it!
Since the successful implementation of the Awakening Project, human civilization has experienced more than a hundred years of peaceful development.
Over the past century, thanks to the efforts of the sociology division, the previously uneven levels of scientific literacy among individuals in human civilization have been significantly improved.
At the same time, with the full operation of the social welfare system, the human population exceeded 30 billion for the first time.
Although it is still slightly inferior to ordinary level 5 civilizations, the large influx of new blood has undoubtedly injected new vitality into the Academy of Sciences.
These relatively inexperienced, new-generation scientists are primarily tasked with perfecting the various details and nuances of the technology tree.
Before the research fleet left, Lu Yongchang's mind had already reached near perfection in the technology tree of a Level 5 civilization, with only a very small part of the technology yet to be unlocked.
At this very moment, thanks to the persistent research of those new generation academicians, the fifth-level civilization's technology tree has finally been perfected.
In the space of the mottled technology tree, Lü Yongchang's consciousness "looked up" at the "lush" technology tree in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a few emotions.
Accompanied by a familiar slight vibration, the cursor, which is like a "leaf" of the tech tree, began to emit a bright light.
Under this light, the brilliance at the top of the technology tree was completely dispelled.
As the tremors intensified, Lü Yongchang felt his thoughts becoming increasingly clear.
No, that's not all.
Although his consciousness was in the tech tree space, he still felt that his body seemed to be undergoing a faint, subtle change.
This feeling...
It felt like my brain had been quantumized.
This time, however, that special form of energy was impacting his body!
Lu Yongchang's heart tightened, and his attention was drawn back from the rapidly changing technology tree in front of him.
Holy crap?!
After his brain, will his entire body be quantumized?
Can a human in a quantum state still be considered human?!
At that moment, only one thought remained in his mind.
Will quantizing his body affect his subsequent experiments and research?
Before he could figure out the problem, that familiar feeling quickly faded away.
Lu Yongchang was momentarily stunned.
What does this mean?
A failed project?
But soon, he remembered the previous process of quantum brain modification.
Similarly, it wasn't something that could be achieved overnight.
Lu Yongchang suddenly realized that the same principle likely applied to the transformation of his body.
It seems he'll have to find some time to go to Dr. Wen's for a full-body checkup again.
Thinking back to the way Dr. Wen looked at his brain, Lü Yongchang's lips twitched slightly, and a bitter smile appeared on his face.
It's not a big problem.
At least this time Dr. Wen won't mess with his brain anymore.
He knows how to comfort himself.
...
In the blink of an eye, the changes to the technology tree space were completely completed.
The once lush and verdant technology tree has disappeared, replaced by a dim outline and a few scattered bright lines.
At first glance, Lü Yongchang's attention was drawn to a straight, thin line running from bottom to top.
It was a thin, shimmering white line that had crossed over from the fifth level of the technology tree and pierced straight into the middle section of the sixth level technology tree.
As he focused his gaze on the thin thread, a piece of information surfaced in his mind.
Lü Yongchang suddenly realized.
[Stellar Core Reaction Interference Technology]
This is a technology that human civilization mastered at level five, used to create gamma-ray bursts for the [Nus Civilization].
When Lü Yongchang mastered this technology, he learned from the tech tree's hints that the "[Stellar Core Reaction Interference Technology]" was merely a stripped-down version of a level six technology.
Lu Yongchang looked excitedly at the end of the shimmering white thread.
It was a cursor that was more than half bright.
Because human civilization has mastered the technology of using a censored version, its brightness is significantly higher than the surrounding cursors, and the text on it is also clearer.
Starburst: Catalysis Technology for Stellar Core Reactions
Lü Yongchang read the line of text aloud in his mind, word by word.
A storm of emotions surged within him!
Just as he had predicted, a Type VI civilization could already use stars as weapons!
Artificially intensifying nuclear fusion reactions inside stars can increase the temperature and pressure within them.
Higher temperatures and pressures will positively impact the fusion reactions in stars.
This positive cycle eventually increases the fusion rate inside the star to hundreds of billions of times the normal rate.
In simple terms, it is artificially triggering a supernova explosion of a star.
Unlike supernova explosions that occur under natural conditions, these artificially induced supernova explosions do not require a large mass from the star itself.
Lu Yongchang took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart.
This will be the most extravagant weapon in the history of human civilization.
Every time it is used, it means a star is heading towards its death!
But this is also the most powerful weapon in the history of human civilization!
A supernova explosion is a devastating blow to civilizations within and around a star system!
Even the Tenth Empire can encounter some unexpected situations when facing an extremely intense supernova explosion at close range—the fortress's warp drive was damaged because of it.
