Cataclysmic Era: I can unlock the tech tree

Lu Yongchang's eyes were filled with bitterness as he slowly shook his head and said, "Professor Ye, I have seen the data in the paper."

"I'm not very optimistic about the future of the sun."

"In my opinion, we need to seriously consider... the question of the survival of human civilization."

Ye Nangeng, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped.

He turned around, frowning as he looked at Lü Yongchang: "Professor Lü... isn't that a bit too much...?"

Ye Nangeng did not finish his sentence.

But Lü Yongchang understood what he meant.

It's nothing more than worrying unnecessarily and exaggerating the facts.

He wasn't angry.

On the contrary, he even felt somewhat sad and helpless.

Humanity's technological level is simply too low!

But at this moment, Lü Yongchang did not argue with Elder Ye.

Without concrete evidence, no one will believe any of his claims.

Therefore, he said in a calm tone, "Elder Ye, whether it is true or not, let's wait until I get the observation data and make calculations before we talk about it."

"I also hope that I've miscalculated."

Ye Nangeng frowned, giving Lü Yongchang a meaningful look: "Alright, I'll take you to the observation platform right away!"

……

Xia Kingdom Astronomical Observatory, observation station.

A huge astronomical telescope was placed in the very center.

"Hello, Mr. Ye!"

As soon as Ye Nangeng entered the observation platform, a researcher greeted him respectfully.

Old Ye smiled and nodded, saying, "Xiao Wang, point the telescope at the sun."

"Also, show Professor Lü the observation data from the past few days."

The researcher, referred to as Xiao Wang, paused slightly and turned to look at Lü Yongchang.

Gradually, his eyes widened even more!

"You...you are Professor Lü Yongchang?!"

"Professor Lü, I'm your idol!"

"No, no, no, you're my fan... Pshaw! I'm your fan!"

Xiao Wang looked at Lü Yongchang excitedly and stammered, "Professor Lü, could you... could you sign this for me?!"

Lü Yongchang: "???"

Ye Nangeng: "???"

Clearly, Professor Ye hadn't anticipated this situation either, and he gave the researcher an embarrassed glare: "Ahem! Xiao Wang! We can talk about the signature later, let's finish the research first!"

A hint of grievance flashed across Xiao Wang's face as he walked toward the control panel with a bitter expression.

Seeing this, Lü Yongchang couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Don't worry, I won't forget about the autograph!"

Upon hearing this, a hint of excitement flashed in Xiao Wang's eyes, and his steps became lighter.

Old Ye looked at the smiling Lü Yongchang beside him with a hint of envy: "Professor Lü, you're really popular!"

"Look at this young Wang, he's just like one of your researchers!"

"I even suspect that if you just said the word, he would switch jobs and go to your company!"

Faced with Elder Ye's jealousy, Lü Yongchang could only shrug and spread his hands to express his helplessness.

……

Before long, Xiao Wang arrived at Lü Yongchang's side with a pile of documents.

"Professor Lü, these are solar observation data from the past month!"

"Do you... need more?"

"Retrieving data older than a month might take some time, but..."

Xiao Wang's enthusiasm exceeded Lü Yongchang's expectations. He waved his hand with a wry smile and said, "Ahem... no need, no need."

"One month's worth of data is enough."

A clear hint of disappointment flashed in Xiao Wang's eyes: "Okay."

"Professor Lü, please call me if you need anything!"

Lü Yongchang nodded with a wry smile.

He never imagined that he would actually enjoy the treatment of a "celebrity".

After Xiao Wang left, Lü Yongchang took a deep breath and looked at the documents in front of him with a solemn expression.

Seeing this, Old Master Ye raised an eyebrow slightly.

He had some doubts about whether Lü Yongchang could actually understand these highly technical data!

"These data... are problematic."

Lu Yongchang said in a low voice with a serious expression.

"Oh? What's the problem?" Old Ye asked, subtly moving closer to Lü Yongchang.

"Look, the magnetic field strength—it's increased significantly since about two weeks ago!"

"In addition, these other data points also have problems!"

As he spoke, Lü Yongchang pointed to the documents in front of him: "If I'm not mistaken, solar flare activity should be more frequent lately, right?"

A hint of horror flashed in Old Master Ye's eyes.

In just a few minutes, amidst such a vast amount of data, Lü Yongchang not only pointed out several problematic data points, but also made an accurate assessment of the sun's current condition!

This strength...

"Professor Lü, you graduated from the Department of Astronomy?"

Ye Nangeng looked at Lü Yongchang in disbelief and subconsciously asked a question.

Lu Yongchang was slightly taken aback, then smiled and shook his head: "Professor Ye, I'm from the Physics Department of Sandaokou University. Currently... I guess I haven't graduated yet, my diploma hasn't been issued!"

That's true.

He was so busy with the Pangu One project that he didn't have time to go to Sandaokou University to pick up his graduation certificate.

Old Ye swallowed hard, staring at Lü Yongchang with disbelief: "Then you..."

"They're all self-taught!"

Lü Yongchang laughed it off.

"Incredible!" Ye Nangeng's eyes widened like saucers as he muttered to himself, "I've never seen anyone like you before!"

"Ahem!"

To prevent Elder Ye from continuing his sighs, Lü Yongchang coughed lightly: "Elder Ye, is there any draft paper here?"

"I need to verify some things."

Old Ye nodded in amazement and picked up several blank A4 sheets of paper from the side: "Is this enough?"

Lu Yongchang reached out and took the A4 paper, pulling out his pen from his pocket as he nodded and said, "That's enough!"

As he spoke, he sat down in the chair and quickly wrote a line of equations on an A4 sheet of paper.

Ye Nangeng quickly leaned closer, staring intently at Lü Yongchang's handwriting.

At first, Ye Nangeng was able to keep up with Lü Yongchang's line of thinking.

But a few minutes later.

Ye Nangeng looked up with a bewildered expression and glanced at Lü Yongchang, who was sitting there writing furiously.

Is it because his skills are too low?

That shouldn't be happening!

He was quite confident in his math skills.

While it may not be able to handle the most difficult problems in the history of mathematics, it can easily solve some problems in astronomy.

but now……

He simply couldn't understand the changes in Lü Yongchang's series of calculations!

At that moment, he couldn't help but think back to his college days.

That feeling of being dominated by advanced mathematics!

……

Half an hour later.

Lü Yongchang sighed deeply and solemnly put down the pen in his hand.

"How is it?"

Unbeknownst to him, Old Ye's attitude towards Lü Yongchang had undergone a dramatic change: "What was the result?"
