Age of Cataclysm: I Can Light up the Technology Tree

Chapter 333: Sweepers and Pastoralists

【us? 】

[We and the Sweepers are mortal enemies. 】

The holographic projection screen flashes, and information from two-dimensional creatures constantly appears on it.

[The Pastoral Sect is mainly composed of some dimensional beings. 】

[The purpose is, of course, to stop the crazy behavior of the cleaners. 】

[For this reason, a war broke out between us and the sweepers. 】

[A war that lasted for billions of years, in which countless stars were extinguished and countless galaxies were shattered...]

[The injuries on my body were caused by the sweeper branch in the center of the galaxy! 】

[Damn it... when they sent me here, they didn't say there were four-dimensional shock bombs on the other side! 】

Perhaps because it touched a sore spot in his heart, the originally aloof two-dimensional creature seemed a bit talkative at this moment.

【Why……】

[I don’t know if I can wait for support...]

[By the way, there is also a neutral faction. 】

[They... forget it, don't talk about it, they are just a bunch of cunning people who only want to preserve their own civilization. 】

Visible to the naked eye, the tone of [Painting] has become extremely heavy.

[Forget it, why am I saying this to you, a second-level civilization, and you don’t understand...]

【If you have any questions, please ask quickly. 】

【I'm a little sleepy. 】

Lu Yongchang and Fang Xu looked at each other.

Both of them saw the horror in the other's eyes.

"What should I say?" Fang Xu swallowed softly and asked in a low voice.

Lu Yongchang's eyes moved, and he subconsciously lowered his voice and said, "Since the other party has said so, let's hurry up and ask!"

"Who knows how long it will sleep next?"

As he spoke, Lu Yongchang tapped the projection quickly with his fingers and asked his own question.

[Dark forest? 】

[Haha... Such a situation does exist in the universe. 】

[However, most of them appear among low-level civilizations below level three. 】

"Why, how could this happen?"

When he saw these lines of text, Lu Yongchang couldn't help but exclaimed.

If the dark forest only exists among low-level civilizations, as [the painting] said, then how did the solar system become what it is now? !

Lu Yongchang looked uncertain and quickly asked the other party his inner questions.

【Um? It turns out that the dying star system was your home galaxy? 】

[I looked over there not long ago, and there were obvious traces made by the sweepers. 】

[If I remember correctly, it should be called the Star Eater. 】

[As for the reason why they did this... Haha, it should be to force me out. 】

The expression on Lu Yongchang's face became increasingly ugly.

I'm sorry, what happened to human civilization was an unreasonable disaster? !

"What kind of weapon is this Star Eater?"

He asked again: "How can a star be destroyed so easily?"

【arms? 】

[Haha, I’m overthinking it, that’s not a weapon. 】

[It’s just an advanced tool that absorbs stars to replenish fleet energy. 】

[It can both replenish energy and drive me out of the star... It is the most profitable approach. 】

After reading these lines of text, Lu Yongchang's raised right hand slowly dropped.

He lowered his head and remained silent.

Is it just a tool to replenish energy?

Being weak, in this cold universe, is indeed the original sin.

【Any more questions? 】

[If not, I’m going to continue to rest. 】

[In addition, I recommend that you stay in this star system. 】

[When I am here, you can develop science and technology without any worries. 】

[The Milky Way is not peaceful now...]

"call……"

Lu Yongchang suddenly came to his senses and exhaled a breath of depressed air that was held in his chest.

"I didn't expect that human civilization would collapse because of such a bullshit reason..."

As he spoke, he shook his head helplessly.

After suppressing the depression in his heart, he said in a deep voice: "Everyone, I suggest that you continue to develop in this star system."

The words came out, amazing.

"I object!" Zhao Zijie said bluntly.

Lu Yongchang looked with some surprise at Zhao Zijie, who was sitting next to him and had been silent.

In my memory, this was the first time the two had a dispute.

"What's the reason for the objection?"

Lu Yongchang was not angry.

Instead, he asked Zhao Zijie the reason in a calm tone.

"Professor, I think the other party is hiding a lot from us."

Zhao Zijie spoke urgently and said excitedly: "The Sweepers want to be promoted to the ninth level of civilization. Don't the Pastoralists not want to be promoted?"

"From the beginning to the end, he avoided talking about the goals of the Pastoralists and instilled in us the idea that the sweepers were full of evil!"

"And what it calls slippery centrists."

"What's more, the demise of the solar system and the Proxima Galaxy is largely due to this pastoral two-dimensional creature!"

Regarding Zhao Zijie's words, Lu Yongchang didn't show any surprise on his face.

"Of course I understand what you said."

"Only, if what the other person says is true."

"It's even more dangerous to travel to other star systems now."

"By staying here, we will have more time for development, and even have the opportunity to obtain some information about the Sweepers and Pastoralists."

Zhao Zijie's eyes were full of struggle.

He hesitated and said: "But this is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger!"

"Yes, it's like courting death." Lv Yongchang nodded and admitted, "But this is the information that humans need most, it can help us avoid many detours!"

"Let's do this."

He sighed softly and glanced at everyone: "The issue of whether to stay or leave will be decided by secret ballot."

Ten minutes later.

The voting results appeared in the holographic projection.

[Stay: 61.8%]

[Go: 34.2%]

[Abstain: 4%]

...

After the voting results came out, Lv Yongchang thought for a long time and sent a message to [Painting] again.

[Why do we have to fight against the Sweepers? ]

[Hehe...]

[For the dreams of creatures in every dimension. ]

[We hope to return the universe to the eleventh dimension and return to that beautiful pastoral era. ]

[Every civilization can live in harmony, without competing for resources, without intrigue...]

[And the Sweepers want to completely destroy this universe! ]

[Therefore, war is inevitable! ]

Lv Yongchang looked at the holographic projection in front of him with a strange look.

Why do I feel...

A bit weird?

Are all the people in the pastoral school idealists?

Although he thought so in his heart, he still sent a string of flattering content.

[Hehe]

In response, [Hua] only responded with two words.

Obviously, it didn't believe the flattering words sent by Lu Yongchang.

Faced with the sarcastic reply, Lu Yongchang shrugged helplessly.

"Professor, the signal is interrupted."

Zing announced the end of this conversation in an extremely calm tone.
