Cataclysmic Era: I can unlock the tech tree

Human Expeditionary Fleet, [Titan Mothership].

The moment the alarm sounded, the atmosphere inside the ship immediately became tense.

"Enable aim assist and automatic interception functions."

Bai Yixuan issued the order in a deep voice: "Carrier-based drones, open fire freely! [Xuanwu], move towards the outer perimeter of the fleet! Shield system, operate at full power, deploy fleet shields!"

"【Golden Crow】Battleship and 【White Tiger】Destroyer, suppressive fire!"

The moment the words were spoken, the shipborne drones that form the "shell" of the cone-shaped fleet took the lead in action.

Under Zero's control, the pulse laser cannon rapidly switched attack directions and fired precise and dense laser beams at oncoming warp missiles and electromagnetic projectiles.

Inside the "shell" of the shipborne drone is the interconnected Xuanwu frigate.

With the antimatter reactor operating at full power, a powerful composite shield was rapidly erected.

Meanwhile, under Zero's precise calculations and control, these individual shields were sequentially spliced ​​and merged to form a massive shield large enough to envelop the entire fleet.

This is the planetary shield technology used on the planetary fortress of Chiyou.

For current human civilization, directly generating a planet-sized shield is virtually impossible.

Therefore, the Human Union Academy of Sciences, taking a step back, used the unified field as its foundation and, with the assistance of zero, precisely controlled the shields generated by each large shield generation device, and then spliced ​​and merged them in sequence.

This is planetary-level shield technology.

Thanks to Wilson's efforts, this technology was successfully implemented on the [Xuanwu] frigate, greatly enhancing the fleet's defensive capabilities. The fused shields can evenly distribute the attacks received to each shield generation device, which greatly reduces the possibility of shield generation devices overloading during war.

The moment the fleet shields successfully deployed, the electromagnetic cannons mounted on the [Xuanwu] frigate unleashed deadly tongues of fire!

As the old saying goes.

A tank that can't deal damage isn't a good front-line tank.

Although most of the energy from the antimatter reactors is used by the shield generation device, they can still be used with simple electromagnetic cannons.

Without a doubt, the bullet is sandwiched.

Furthermore, its actual controller is zero...

Even a simple electromagnetic gun can play an extremely powerful role on the battlefield!

Under the dense interception network of laser beams and electromagnetic guns, the flashes of explosions frequently and densely lit up the front and sides of the expeditionary fleet—the enemy's kinetic weapons were easily intercepted.

In addition to kinetic weapons, there are also energy weapons.

Dense laser beams and antimatter cannons from the Enroget Alliance successfully penetrated the interception zone set up by the human fleet and hit the fleet's "surface".

The shipborne drones and the [Xuanwu] absorbed almost all the damage from the laser beams.

Their adaptive laser protection armor has come into effect.

While liquid nitrogen cools the molten area, fine dust erupts from the inner layer of the armor, becoming a powerful tool for blocking lasers.

This idea from the Latour civilization continues to work reliably even on the battlefield of a level 5 civilization.

Failed to penetrate our armor!

As for the Golden Crow and White Tiger, who were closer to the center, they had gone completely berserk at this point—throwing warp missiles out like they were free.

Further inside are the engineering ships and the [Taotie] supply depot.

Under Zero's control, the engineering ships have been interconnected, forming a series of rudimentary starship factories.

With the supplies provided by [Taotie], a large number of weapons and ammunition were manufactured and delivered in batches to the outer combat units by small transport ships.

And so, the human expeditionary fleet pressed toward the defensive line that stretched for light-years with extreme speed and stability!

As the distance between the two sides continued to close, the density of the antimatter cannons and laser beams became increasingly terrifying—warships that previously lacked sufficient range could now reach the human fleet.

The output of a single warship is not high, but the sheer number of them makes up for it!

Inside the Titan Mothership.

Bai Yixuan frowned slightly as he watched the shield load steadily increase.

After quickly calculating the distance to the enemy and the density of their antimatter cannons, he issued another order.

"Current distance too close, [White Tiger], [Golden Crow], cease launching warp missiles!"

"Prepare to fire the ion cannon for precise interception of the enemy's antimatter cannon!"

……

The antimatter cannon has one extremely significant flaw.

That is, when it comes into contact with matter, no matter what kind of matter it is, it will annihilate with it.

The interception plan for antimatter cannons was developed based on this flaw—the ion cannon, which was almost obsolete, was brought back.

As long as the antimatter is consumed in advance by the matter particles fired from the ion cannon, it will be unable to cause damage to our fleet.

It sounds simple, but it's not so simple in practice.

In the vast universe, an ion beam is emitted, and this ion beam is destined to collide perfectly with the antimatter beam emitted by the enemy...

This requires an extremely fast reaction speed and precision.

Fortunately, human civilization has this capability.

Under Zero's control, the ion cannons rapidly adjusted their angles and launched attacks on the antimatter cannons of varying strengths!

In the vast universe, a beam of ions and a beam of antiparticles traveled towards each other and collided precisely!

Boom! Boom!

The moment the annihilation reaction occurred, the area between the two fleets was as if ten thousand suns had appeared!

The entire starry sky was lit up!

The raging gamma rays scattered in all directions, this was the largest-scale indiscriminate attack ever launched!

The Enrogete Alliance's border defenses were clearly hit hard—the artillery fire thinned out considerably in an instant.

Clearly, the radiation protection layers on their warships are inadequate.

……

Border defense line, first echelon of defense.

Mohr gasped for breath, haphazardly wiping away the green blood flowing from the various holes in his body.

A burning sensation spread throughout my body, accompanied by unbearable pain and dizziness.

This is the body's reaction to being exposed to a massive amount of radiation.

"Cough...cough cough..."

It coughed twice forcefully.

Pieces of broken internal organs mixed with blood gushed from his mouth.

"Damn it..."

"How dare they fight like that..."

A hint of confusion appeared in Moore's eyes as he stared wide-eyed out the porthole at the blinding, layered bursts of fire from the explosions.

So beautiful, yet so dangerous.

The deadly radiation penetrated the warships' radiation shielding layers, destroying their bodies in a brutal and ruthless manner.

Moore grabbed the emergency medication from the side and injected it directly into his body.

The burning sensation throughout my body subsided slightly.

But it knew that this wouldn't save its life, it could only slightly delay its death and alleviate its suffering.

"them……"

Aren't you afraid of radiation...?
