It's reasonable for me to have a two-way foil for a second-level civilization, right?

"Zhengqing!"

Ren Feng's voice was full of anxiety: "How could you..."

"This is for all of us." Zhang Zhengqing directly interrupted Ren Feng's words, "What if this happens again next time?"

"Are we still the same as now, staying where we are and resigning ourselves to fate?"

Ren Feng was momentarily at a loss for words.

He hesitated for a while: "Yes, but this is not the reason we want these things."

"Don't forget, when we chose to stay in Proxima, each of us signed an agreement."

Zhang Zhengqing's face froze.

He remembered.

It seems... there is indeed such an agreement.

Thinking of the name he signed casually at that time, Zhang Zhengqing's face suddenly became embarrassed.

"it is good."

Lu Yongchang chuckled lightly, nodded and said, "I promise you."

Zhang Zhengqing raised his head in surprise, and looked at the holographic projection in front of him.

In the projection, Lu Yongchang was still the same as at the beginning, looking at himself with a gentle smile.

"What, what?"

Zhang Zhengqing opened his mouth and asked in a dry voice.

"I said, I agree to your request." Lu Yongchang repeated with a smile.

Before Zhang Zhengqing was happy, he changed the topic: "However, I also have one condition."

Zhang Zhengqing calmed down, without any hesitation, he nodded and said, "Say it."

"Next, I will hand over all authority."

Lu Yongchang said indifferently: "You have absolute autonomy, and I will transfer the complete technology system to you."

"but."

"Correspondingly, you will no longer get zero help, and everything needs you to be self-reliant."

"Can you accept this condition?"

Zhang Zhengqing's eyes showed a bit of confusion.

But soon, his eyes became firm.

He nodded vigorously, and said in a deep voice, "Acceptable!"

"I believe this is a good thing for us too!"

Lu Yongchang laughed dumbfoundedly, nodded and said: "Come on, try to live."

……

Communication ends.

Lu Yongchang raised his hand with a normal face, operating something on the holographic projection in front of him.

"Yongchang, are you not angry?"

Fang Xu's playful voice came from the side.

"Angry? Why are you angry?" Lu Yongchang asked in a calm tone, with the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

Fang Xu was slightly taken aback.

Obviously, he didn't expect Lu Yongchang to react like this.

"Don't you think that Zhang Zhengqing's request is too much?"

Fang Xu's face was full of entanglements, and after thinking for a long time, he said again: "When they chose to stay, they didn't want these technologies!"

"Is it too much?" Lu Yongchang shrugged, checked the last part and pressed the send button.

"They're human too, and they want to survive."

"This is normal."

"What's more, open the authority of One, and give them the necessary technology system..."

"In my opinion, this is not a bad thing."

A trace of doubt flashed in Fang Xu's eyes.

"The humans who stayed on Proxima b are more like moths." Lu Yongchang sighed softly, "Even though we have left, they still consume zero computing power."

"In peacetime, it probably doesn't matter much."

"But now...you know what's going on."

"It is undoubtedly a better choice and a more efficient way to give them the necessary technology and let them make their own choices."

"On the other hand, it can be regarded as our compensation for this incident. After all, we sent out these electromagnetic cannon projectiles."

Lu Yongchang pondered for a moment, then spoke again.

"In the entire Proxima b, there are only more than 200 million human beings left."

"The remaining resources in the Proxima Galaxy are quite rich for more than 200 million people."

"But do you think that a mere 200 million people can support a secondary civilization?"

"No matter what we do, the human civilization of Proxima Centauri has already embarked on the road of slow death."

"It's just a matter of time."

Fang Xu looked at Lu Yongchang beside him with a complicated expression, and nodded silently.

……

Two years later.

Ross 2 star.

Two huge cities stand on the vast land.

Lu Yongchang sat in his office in Central City and slowly closed his eyes.

His consciousness came to the system space again.

After two years of hard work by all scientific researchers, the originally "skinny" technology tree has gradually become fuller.

In the bright green background, bright white "twigs" protrude from the main trunk and extend around unscrupulously.

And the mist at the top of the technology tree gradually became thinner as the branches of the technology tree became fuller.

Lu Yongchang's eyes "widened" and he turned his attention to the top of the technology tree.

Vision gradually became clear.

The cursor was very blurry, but he could still make out the text in the dim cursor.

[Magnetic Field Control: Elementary Shield Technology]

It dawned on him.

It turns out that the threshold of a third-level civilization is to master shield technology.

The prefix of the cursor gave him countless inspirations.

Magnetic mastery?

Perhaps, we can learn from the principle of plasma weapons.

"Drip! Drip! Drip!"

Before I had time to think about it, a rush of sirens came from the outside world.

Without any hesitation, Lu Yongchang quickly withdrew his consciousness and opened his eyes.

Looking at the bloody holographic projection in front of him, Lu Yongchang's face changed slightly: "Zero?!"

"Professor, there is another signal from the direction of Ross 154!"

"Signal frequency: 1420 MHz. After signal comparison, it can basically be determined that it is a message from [Hua]."

Hearing this, Lu Yongchang's expression suddenly became serious.

"Zero, call all scientific researchers immediately."

……

Central City, the ground command center.

It is very similar to the layout of the command center on [Earth]. The only difference is that the ground command center occupies a larger area—nearly twice the size.

This is also normal.

After all, as the flagship of mankind, [Earth] can be called every inch of land.

When designing, those designers can't wait to break one square meter into eight petals for use!

And right in front of this spacious ground command center, a huge holographic projection looms large.

In front of the holographic projection, there are neat rows of seats.

At this time, there were no empty seats.

All members of the Academy of Sciences gather here.

Every researcher has the same expression.

Frown, doubt, shock, surprise...

There is no other reason.

In the huge holographic projection in front of everyone is a line of information from Ross 154.

The message is simple, only 15 characters including punctuation.

But the amount of information contained in it is extremely huge!

[Little guys, I may not be able to wait for rescue. 】

Chapter 342 On Dying?

"What the hell does this mean?!"

Fang Xu's eyes were full of surprise: "Could it be that the sweeper discovered his existence?"

Lu Yongchang looked gloomy, slowly shook his head and said: "Probably not."

"If the enemy is really present, the other party should not have the leisure to send us a message."

"perhaps……"

His eyes moved slightly, and an incredible thought suddenly appeared in his mind.

"Have you thought of the reason?" Fang Xu immediately noticed Lu Yongchang's strange expression.

"No, I'm not sure yet." Hearing Fang Xu's question, Lu Yongchang pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "I suspect that the other party is already on his deathbed."

"Don't forget, during the previous exchanges, he once revealed his injury."

While speaking, Lu Yongchang quickly edited a message.

[Dear [Hua], what happened? 】

Unlike the last time, this time the information was transmitted to a communication satellite orbiting Ross 154 through an ultra-distance communication device.

Two years ago, the Academy of Sciences purpose-built the single-function communications satellite and launched it into a Ross 154 orbit.

Satellite functions are very simple.

Send, receive and convert signals.

It can convert the signal from the long-distance communication of the human fleet into an electromagnetic wave signal, and then send it to Ross 154 in front of it.

vice versa.

Although the function is simple, its technological content is extremely high.
