Cataclysmic Era: I can unlock the tech tree

Lu Yongchang quickly deactivated the electromagnetic adsorption device, stood up from his seat, and briefly explained this crazy plan to everyone in the command center.

"Professor, the calculations show that the plan has a 60% success rate."

At the same time, synthesized electronic voices rang out in the command center.

A glint of light flashed in Lü Yongchang's eyes.

A 60% success rate is already an incredibly high number!

After all, their opponents were probes from a Level 8 civilization!

"Let's begin."

Without hesitation, Lü Yongchang issued the order directly!

The moment the words were spoken, all the starships surrounding Dawn Star began to move.

The Golden Crow battleships are constantly dispersing, making room for the Siege Ram and the Engineering Ships.

Most of the [Dimensional Strike Ships] were subsequently dispersed and hidden among the scattered fleet.

Only five Dimensional Strike Ships remained, and with the help of Hall thrusters, they slowly flew towards the center of the "trap zone".

……

After half an hour.

Looking at the trap that had been basically set up, Lü Yongchang fell silent.

"So, the biggest question now is, when will this detector be able to get moving?"

As he spoke, Lü Yongchang looked at Zhao Zijie beside him with a strange expression.

Zhao Zijie, on the other hand, turned his gaze to Gao Yang, who was standing to the side.

As for Gao Yang, his eyes were filled with bitterness, but he managed to force a smirk onto his face.

This……

How could he possibly know such a thing!

If he had known this would happen, he would have kept quiet until he died!

Fortunately, Lü Yongchang and the others did not take Zhao Zijie's earlier words seriously. After a brief moment of teasing, everyone turned their attention back to the holographic projection in front of them.

suddenly.

A sudden change has occurred!

The spherical detector went from a stationary state to a high-speed flight state of 50% of the speed of light!

A few seconds later, the spherical detector disappeared from the camera's view.

Lu Yongchang's heart sank slightly.

It has entered warp drive mode again!

I wonder what its target is this time?!

As he pondered this, Lü Yongchang unconsciously glanced at Gao Yang in the distance.

They met Gao Yang's gaze.

At this moment, Gao Yang was covered in sweat, his lips were slightly pale, and he looked at Lü Yongchang and Zhao Zijie with an apologetic expression.

"Just a coincidence. What causal weapon... I didn't expect Zhao Zijie to have such a wild imagination."

A thought flashed through Lü Yongchang's mind.

Thinking of this, he chuckled to himself, gave Gao Yang a reassuring look, and then turned his attention back to the giant holographic projection in front of him.

As before, Zero used the numerous detectors scattered around the fleet to rapidly scan the location of the spherical detectors.

A few seconds later.

The screen paused.

The spherical probe hovered silently in front of the Dimensional Strike Ship that had completed its attack mission.

……

The spherical probe changed its angle and used its internal probes to conduct a thorough screening of the fleet surrounding Dawn.

Analysis complete, task objective updated.

[Target filtering in progress...]

Target locked.

Forty-seven [Dimensional Strike Ships] were clearly marked.

[Route planning in progress...]

Route planning complete.

Under the planning of Type I artificial intelligence, the first stop of the recovery mission is naturally the five [Dimensional Strike Ships] that have gathered together!

……

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the spherical probe paused in front of the [Dimensional Strike Ship] for only a few seconds before turning and heading straight for the "trap zone"!

Seeing this scene, the tension on Mo Zeyang's face slowly dissipated, replaced by a relieved smile.

really.

His judgment was correct.

This detector is entirely controlled by Type I artificial intelligence!

"The plan is about to begin!"

Lu Yongchang's voice came from afar: "[Battle Ram] Deploy the drone swarm!"

……

Under Zero's control, hundreds of battering rams simultaneously opened their side hatches.

Numerous drones equipped with magnetic field generating units filed out of the hatch.

Without the slightest hesitation, they swiftly flew towards the front of the [Battle Ram] fleet, constructing an "invisible cannon barrel" that stretched ever forward!

The length of the cannon barrel of a single siege ram is only 100 kilometers.

With the combined efforts of hundreds of battering rams, the length of this "barrel" can even approach the circumference of the moon!

As the spherical probe flew toward the five [Dimensional Strike Ships] serving as decoys, the gun barrel rapidly took shape!

The outer area of ​​the "trap".

With a large number of engineering ships, countless robots, and Zero's terrifying computing power, the modification task assigned by Lü Yongchang was completed swiftly.

At this moment, a total of 150 battering rams were simply "assembled" into a large "turret".

The engineering vessel that served as the cannon was brutally stripped of all unnecessary equipment, leaving only a few huge pipes.

This is the channel for antimatter.

Not bad.

The modified ram fires antimatter instead of plasma weapons.

To be precise, it is an anti-electron.

The moment the spherical probe deactivates its gravity shield and "captures" the two-dimensional debris, a massive "turret" composed of 150 battering rams will erupt with a huge amount of anti-electrons.

Accelerated by the 15000-kilometer-long "cannon barrel," these anti-electrons will be accelerated to near the speed of light.

then……

A torrent of antimatter traveling at near the speed of light would shoot straight at the impactor spherical detector.

This is the most powerful attack that humanity has been able to launch so far, apart from two-dimensional fragments!

That was also the only blow!

After this shot is fired, 150 battering rams will be rendered unusable due to overload!

……

The spherical probe's flight speed instantly dropped to zero.

It stopped in front of the five [Dimensional Strike Ships].

"Launch two-dimensional debris!"

Five two-dimensional fragments, resembling paper cutouts, shot out from the Dimensional Strike Ship and hurtled straight toward the spherical probe ahead.

The next moment, accompanied by an incredibly powerful gravitational wave, the five two-dimensional fragments "obediently" stopped in front of the probe.

As Lü Yongchang watched the constantly fluctuating gravity data in the holographic projection, his eyes widened in surprise!

Finally, the gravitational lensing effect began to gradually weaken!

"Battle Ram!"

Lü Yongchang and Zhao Zijie shouted in unison:

"fire!"
