Cataclysmic Era: I can unlock the tech tree

Enrogete Alliance Command Center.

Can we imitate the interception methods used by human civilization?

As artillery fire raged along the border, the alliance leader surveyed the crowd with a somber expression: "The alliance needs a practical and effective interception plan."

It was once again the elderly scientist who was the first to stand up.

"Your Excellency..."

"Before we master the practical application of the Grand Unified Theory, we may find it difficult to use micro black holes as a means of attack."

Upon hearing this, the leader's expression quickly turned ugly.

"However..." the elderly scientist's voice did not stop, his eyes gleaming, "we can still replicate a small portion of it."

"Those active detonation devices that carry antimatter projectiles are not very technologically advanced."

"Military factories can complete the corresponding imitation work in a very short time."

The leader frowned and interrupted the scientist: "Even without the influence of miniature black holes, we still cannot forcibly stop those highly maneuverable warp missiles."

"Even if these antimatter projectiles are accelerated to 99.9% of the speed of light, they still cannot catch up with the warp drive missiles of human civilization."

"How is this any different from an attack launched by an electromagnetic cannon?"

When questioned by the leader, the elderly scientist revealed a mysterious smile.

"Don't forget, even without micro black holes, those warp missiles would eventually exit their warp state."

The alliance leader was taken aback by what he heard.

It suddenly realized the scientist's plan.

"you mean……"

"No, no!" The leader shook his head repeatedly. "Those detonators attack indiscriminately. If they explode on the border, the Alliance fleet might..."

"20% of the Alliance fleet, or the entire border defense line?" The elderly scientist stepped forward, his gaze fixed intently on the leader chosen by a referendum from across civilization. "Please make a choice."

"Of the 300,000 warp missiles, ideally we could intercept 100,000 of them, which have a speed of only 50c."

"The remaining 200,000 are enough to plow through the entire border defense line."

As it spoke, it turned around and operated the control panel to the side, bringing up a set of data: "I've already calculated it."

"Equip 20% of your warships with this interceptor weapon and launch an attack when those warp missiles approach and exit their warp state."

"We may not be able to intercept all of them, but this can ensure the integrity of the border defense line to the greatest extent possible."

"So..."

"Your Excellency, please tell me, what is your choice?"

The leader of the Enroget civilization instinctively took a step back and avoided the scientist's gaze.

It has never encountered such a brutal situation since it was elected leader.

But when it turned its head, it was met with the intense gazes of everyone in the command center.

"..."

"Let's proceed with your plan."

It felt its voice trembling as it said those words.

……

time flies.

Three hundred thousand warp missiles from the human expeditionary fleet successfully traversed a long distance, carrying powerful spacetime fluctuations, and appeared near the border defense line of the Enrogett Alliance!

They rushed toward the defensive line at extremely high speed!

Strange things began to happen.

The warships at the forefront of the defense line stepped forward and charged towards the warp missiles flying everywhere!

boom!

The flashes of the explosion briefly illuminated the dim starry sky.

But this is not the flash of a warp missile exploding!

Strictly speaking, the warp drive missiles of human civilization exploded before they even touched the enemy warships!

Like a signal, the moment the explosion lit up the sky, explosions lit up one after another along the defense line that stretched for light-years!

The explosion came from a large number of replica interstellar grenades carried by the warship.

It's the same annihilation of matter and antimatter, the same countless electromagnetic projectiles carrying antimatter...

The exploded Enrogete battleship unleashed a dense, indiscriminate attack on the surrounding area!

The once empty starry sky was instantly filled with a large number of electromagnetic cannon projectiles flying in all directions!

In front of the warship, warp missiles that were either unable to dodge or were powerless to dodge were detonated prematurely, adding a touch of light to the starry sky illuminated by the flames.

Behind the warships, numerous warships and gun emplacements formed a composite shield.

The high-speed antimatter electromagnetic projectile landed on it, splashing up dense ripples.

This is the result of the combined efforts of more than three hundred interstellar civilizations!

The border defense line, stretching for light-years, is like a Great Wall forged from the flames of explosions, firmly keeping out attacks from human civilization!

……

Kepler 452 galaxy.

"...A total of thirty rounds of warp missile long-range artillery fire have been completed."

"Preliminary statistics show that the attack successfully destroyed more than 20,000 enemy ships, accounting for 20% of the total, and slowed the pace of the border defense line contraction by 50%."

The extent of casualties is unknown.

"The results fell far short of expectations."

"The overall assessment has been updated."

"The fleet has good inter-fleet operational capabilities, strong adaptability, and good understanding of civilized warfare, resulting in a 20% increase in overall threat level."

Lu Yongchang looked at the data displayed in the holographic projection with a solemn expression, and then let out a long sigh of relief.

Although the interstellar Great Wall, forged from the flames of the explosion and stretching for light-years, existed for only a few minutes, it was still deeply etched in his mind.

He suddenly remembered the past of human civilization.

When a weak human civilization is attacked by a superior civilization, isn't it also a matter of cutting off its own tail to survive?

"I didn't expect them to find countermeasures so quickly..." Zhao Zijie's voice came from beside him. "Professor, you were right. None of the level five civilizations are simple."

Lu Yongchang didn't speak immediately, but his eyes quickly sharpened.

Yes, judging solely from the first round of clashes, the Enrogett Alliance is a respectable civilization.

But wars between civilizations are not about right or wrong.

The higher the war prowess and the greater the civilization potential demonstrated by the Enrogete Alliance, or rather, the greater the Enrogete civilization, the larger the scale of this war will be.

How can I allow others to sleep soundly beside my bed!

A rapidly developing human civilization could not possibly tolerate a massive alliance that occupies 100 light-years of territory!

After a long silence, Lü Yongchang spoke up: "Without mastering the practical application of the Grand Unified Theory, they can only use warships and lives to stop our bombardment."

"Continue the shelling!"

"Play all their cards you might have up your sleeve!"

"Tell the expeditionary fleet to advance at full speed and launch a full-scale attack!"

"Once their border defenses are breached, spare no expense to quickly eliminate the enemy's central Heng system!"

P.S.: Thanks to the amazing verification from the Tenth Art expert!

Calm down, sir... I really have no more drafts left...
