Cataclysmic Era: I can unlock the tech tree

Clearly, Joseph had been thinking about this problem for a long time.

Upon hearing Lü Yongchang's question, he answered without hesitation, "Theoretically speaking, this is feasible."

"But compared to breaking through magnetic field shields, breaking through gravity shields is much more difficult."

"We need a more precise unified field generation and control unit."

"Moreover... compared to breaking the magnetic field shield, breaking the gravity shield would probably require even greater computing power."

"There's no need to worry about computing power," Lü Yongchang said with a faint smile. "Since you think it's possible, then this research project will be entrusted to you."

"Professor, anti-gravity technology has made a breakthrough, and the lab has enough free time to conduct this research, so..." Joseph said hurriedly, then suddenly his eyes widened. "What did you say?"

"Have you approved this research project?"

Lu Yongchang stopped with a smile and looked at the scene inside the open doorway: "Why don't you agree?"

"In scientific research, you have to try to get results."

"Go for it, what if you succeed?"

The scenery inside the gate was clearly reflected in Lü Yongchang's eyes.

It was a non-magnetic metal sphere that wasn't very large.

The metal sphere is completely sealed and smooth, with no engine openings on its surface.

Within the artificial gravity field of the Earth, it floated silently in the air, as if supported by something invisible.

As Lü Yongchang and the others approached, the metal sphere began to float slowly.

Under Zero's control, it swiftly drew graceful arcs in the air.

How heavy is it?

Lu Yongchang stared at the metal ball that was moving irregularly and asked softly.

"Including the internal control system and antimatter battery pack..." Joseph pondered for a moment and gave an answer, "It's about 30 tons."

……

Earth year 3655.

Based on theoretical research, the [Matter Disintegration Cannon] and the shield-breaking device targeting gravity shields were developed almost simultaneously.

Of course, such rapid progress would not have been possible without the help of Lü Yongchang.

Both weapons passed laboratory tests.

However, they still need to undergo live-fire drills before they can be deployed to the battlefield.

As usual, the target was chosen as the standard combat force of the human fleet—the [Golden Crow] battleship.

Inside the command center of the Earth.

Lu Yongchang sat in his seat, watching the two Golden Crow battleships in the holographic projection gradually disappear into the distance.

Beside them, Yevgeny stared silently out the porthole at the universe with a somber expression.

People's joys and sorrows are not shared; at this moment, he only felt that the two people beside him were arguing.

This is the command center!

What kind of behavior is this, laughing and joking like that!

Thinking of Wilson showing off his matter-disintegrating cannon to him a while ago, Yevgeny clenched his teeth again.

The power of antimatter cannons is unlikely to be increased further unless human civilization makes a breakthrough in technology, such as becoming a Level VI civilization.

But by then, will the antimatter cannon still be of any use?

Thinking about this, Yevgeny's sense of crisis became even more solid.

A light, cheerful laugh came from beside me.

tsk...

Yevgeny subtly shifted his position, trying to distance himself as much as possible from the two people around him.

Are you that happy?!

No, he has to build a more powerful weapon!

Thinking this, his face grew even more gloomy.

This scene was completely witnessed by Lü Yongchang.

Knowing the history of their feud, he didn't care and even chuckled with amusement.

The laughter drew the attention of Zhao Zijie beside him. Seeing the puzzled look on Zhao Zijie's face, he shook his head slightly, then stood up from his seat: "The first live-fire exercise of the Matter Disintegration Cannon shall now begin!"

"Matter Disintegration Cannon initiating charging!"

"Launch the gravity shield jamming device."

As soon as the words were spoken, a ghastly green light shone from the muzzle of one of the Golden Crow battleships.

The enormous muzzle clearly indicates that it is a product of a combination of technology and ruthless craftsmanship.

As the ghastly green light illuminated, the side hatches of the [Golden Crow] battleship swiftly opened, and hundreds of small shipborne drones swarmed out, chasing after the target ship ahead.

These shipborne drones are equipped with gravity shield jamming devices.

This is the weakness of energy weapons.

Since it lacks a carrier, it requires additional devices to help it break through the enemy's gravity shield unless the distance is extremely close.

Zhao Zijie's voice followed: "Target ship, shield system at full power!"

"Attempt to maneuver and evade enemy ship attacks!"

Under the orders of the two commanders, the two [Golden Crow] battleships began a chase outside the Kepler 452 system.

The same warships have the same performance, but both have zero main pilots...

The pursuit between the two suddenly became meaningless.

Every maneuver of the target ship is analyzed in real time by the attacking ship, which then predicts and locks onto it.

It's almost like fighting with both hands simultaneously.

After waiting for a while, Lü Yongchang shook his head helplessly and gave the final instruction.

"Activate the Gravity Shield Interference Device."

"Disintegration Cannon, fire!"

The moment the words fell, a ghastly green beam of light erupted from the cannon muzzle and shot straight toward the target ship.

That was the guiding beam of the matter fragmentation field.

Meanwhile, the gravity shield jamming device installed inside the shipborne drone also launched a unified field attack, which cracked the shield system of the target ship.

A hint of doubt suddenly flashed in Wilson's eyes from a distance.

Doesn't this raise a problem?

Is it possible for Zero to break through its own defense system?

Before he could think any further, the ghastly green beam of light had already reached the vicinity of the target.

The target ship's shield suddenly rippled, and taking advantage of this opportunity, the guiding beam shot straight in, directly illuminating the target ship.

Clearly, Zero did not make the basic mistake of hitting himself.

It proactively reduced the computing resources allocated to the target ship's shield system.

The moment the ghastly green beam struck, a strange and eerie phenomenon occurred.

The electromagnetic forces between molecules and atoms begin to dissipate, and the complete macroscopic matter, like a brick wall stripped of its steel bars and cement, begins to collapse rapidly!

The battleship's incredibly sturdy outer armor was melting away at an extremely rapid pace, as if it were snowflakes encountering a red-hot iron!

Under the effect of the [Matter Disintegration Cannon], both the outer armor and the internal instruments and equipment...

Without exception, they all transformed into the most basic structures—molecules or atoms.

Then, it quietly dissipated into the vast universe.

Not long afterward.

The target ship, its power completely dissipated, has disappeared.

What remained was only a hazy cloud of mist composed of countless atoms and molecules.

It's like a miniature nebula.
