Cataclysmic Era: I can unlock the tech tree

During the barrage of long-range artillery fire, the distance between the two fleets continued to close.

The atmosphere inside the Earth's command center grew increasingly tense.

The holographic projections in front of each person were rapidly updating with the latest battle situation from the front lines.

Orders were issued from the command center and transmitted to the front lines via long-range communication devices.

Each alarm sounding meant that a [Golden Crow] battleship was in danger!

"drop!"

A crisp alert rang out in the command center: "Enemy fleet has arrived at the third defense zone."

"The two fleets have approached the warning line!"

The moment the electronic synthesized sound started, Zhao Zijie's expression immediately became more serious.

The third area is the last defensive zone for the human fleet.

Simply put, if the Bosa fleet were to advance any further, Dawn would be under direct threat!

Although no one currently lives on the surface of Dawn Star, it has a large number of industrial facilities, especially the space elevators, which are of paramount importance.

In addition to the surface of Dawn Star, there are also a large number of military factories and spaceports built in space around Dawn Star.

If this area is attacked, the productivity of the human fleet will drop significantly.

The greatest advantage of the human fleet will vanish in an instant!

Therefore, the third area is a front that the human fleet absolutely cannot afford to lose!

"Attention all units"

"Prepare for close-quarters combat!"

The moment the order was given, Zhao Zijie clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning slightly white.

Although interstellar combat is not as close-quarters as hand-to-hand fighting on Earth, the level of gore is in no way diminished.

Each of our warships may be besieged by several or even dozens of enemy ships, while enemy ships may also be attacked by dozens of warships at any time!

Therefore, once melee combat begins, the loss rate of warships will increase dramatically in a short period of time!

"All Golden Crows, immediately release your carrier-based drone swarm!"

"Prepare to activate the Gamma Ray Cluster Cannon!"

"..."

In preparation for the upcoming close-quarters combat, Zhao Zijie issued orders methodically.

Lü Yongchang was naturally not idle either.

"Mo Zeyang, activate the central computer overclocking function."

"Fang Xu, closely monitor the enemy ship's unusual gravitational phenomena."

"Tao Yuda..."

The central computer overclocking function was a feature that Mo Zeyang specially developed to prepare for "close combat".

Once activated, the optical quantum computer, which serves as the fleet's central computer, can temporarily increase computing performance by about 10%.

This is an extremely significant improvement for Zero.

It can control each starship to perform more precise micro-management, thereby greatly reducing the casualty rate of one's own fleet!

Of course, this kind of overclocking comes at a price.

The cooling system will be under tremendous pressure in a short period of time.

If overclocking is performed for too long, the temperature in the core area of ​​the quantum computer will become too high, which will cause great damage to the central computer.

……

【Golden Crow】Battleship Group.

Under the seemingly endless barrage of artillery fire, the previously invisible magnetic field shield was filled with ripples composed of high-temperature plasma.

suddenly.

A sudden and unexpected change has occurred!

The hatches on the side of each of the Golden Crow battleships slowly opened.

A dense swarm of small shipborne drones emerged from among them!

Immediately after leaving the mothership, these shipborne drones activated their magnetic field generation units.

Under the control of the shipborne AI, these shipborne drones passed directly over the magnetic field shield constructed by the Golden Crow and slowly circled the Golden Crow battleship.

A large number of shipborne drones provide a unique "conical shield" for the Golden Crow battleship.

As the number of shipborne drones gradually increased, the constantly fluctuating magnetic field shield on the surface of the [Golden Crow] battleship gradually returned to stability.

Meanwhile, repair work began on some damaged parts of the warship's surface.

The changes have not stopped.

A barrage of plasma weapons from the Bosa fleet bombarded the "shield" constructed by the shipborne drones. Subsequently, under the influence of a special magnetic field shield, these high-temperature plasmas were confined to the area surrounding the drones.

Under the enemy ships' barrage of fire, countless small plasma shields slowly took shape.

From the outside, this conical shield constructed by shipborne drones has now become a charging "ramming horn"!

next moment.

The antimatter engine at the stern of the Golden Crow battleship roared, propelling the massive warship straight toward the Bosa fleet, its ram glowing with a ghostly blue plasma light!

This is not an isolated case.

At this very moment, more than 5,000 Golden Crow battleships "forged" more than 5,000 plasma rams!

……

Bosa Fleet.

Commander Bosa fell silent as he watched the live feed transmitted from the probe.

In the vast universe, these more than five thousand enormous plasma rams, carrying an extremely powerful momentum, headed straight for our fleet!

It is certain that this kind of suicide attack is something that, let alone him, probably no one in the entire Bosa civilization has ever seen before!

Commander Bosa trembled slightly as he watched the menacing warships approaching on the screen.

It slowly raised its two pairs of forelimbs in front of its chest and drew a perfect circle in front of its body.

"Lord..."

A hint of fanaticism rose in its eyes, and it murmured softly, "Your loyal servant will clear all obstacles for you!"

The next moment, it lowered its two pairs of forelimbs and roared fiercely.

"Everyone!"

"The time has come to prove myself to the Lord!"

"All fleet, charge!"

"Prepare to drop the warp bomb!!"

"I'm going to show these level four insects what a level five civilization is!"

……

The words fell.

The flagship, located in the central area of ​​the Bosa fleet, opened the hatch on its belly.

One after another, larger, black, spherical objects were rapidly ejected from the hatch.

A strange gravitational wave emanated from these spheres.

next moment.

They vanished from the sight of all the Bosa people.

Inside the Bosa flagship.

"Warp Bomb has entered warp travel, current speed: 10c (ten times the speed of light)."

A crew member of the Bosa reported loudly to the commander.

Commander Bosa nodded, watching the live feed from the probe ahead.

In the scene, the human fleet continues to charge forward against the cone-shaped plasma ram, while also launching various attacks on the Bosa fleet.

Perhaps out of concern for Bosa's gravity bombs, the human fleet appeared much sparser at this time, with each warship spaced a certain distance apart.

If measurements were taken, it would be discovered that the distance between human warships was exactly within the sphere of influence of the first gravity bombs.

But Commander Bosa was not worried at all.

It raised its two pairs of forelimbs to its chest with a fanatical expression, gesturing and chanting.

"Lord..."

P.S.: Only one chapter today. I'm not feeling well, hopefully it's not Xiaoyang...
