Cataclysmic Era: I can unlock the tech tree

boom!!!

The leaked antimatter came into contact with the surrounding atoms, triggering a violent annihilation reaction.

The powerful explosion and radiation violently blew these dense clouds of atoms outwards.

In the firelight, these specks of dust resembled blooming flowers, quietly blossoming amidst the smoke and fire of battle.

At the Enrogett Alliance Command Center, as the miniature nebula slowly dissipated, silence fell once again.

"..."

In the familiar silence, the Alliance leader looked at the packed command center, a fine layer of cold sweat already seeping out from his back.

This is absolutely the strangest thing it has ever seen in its life!

none of them!

A massive command ship disintegrated on its own without being attacked!

The degree of disintegration even reached the atomic level!

Is there anything more absurd than this in the entire world?!

After a brief moment of shock, it hurriedly turned its gaze to the scientist Enrogett who was sitting in a daze not far away.

Clearly, this scene had a significant impact on the elderly scientist.

Its skin was full of wrinkles, and its face was filled with confusion.

It noticed the leader's pleading look, but...

"...Your Excellency, I am not aware of this."

It shook its head and murmured softly, "This technology has already exceeded the scope of our theories."

The scientists spoke softly, but in the quiet command center, their voices were as loud as a thunderclap.

"Without supporting data, I can only make a guess based on what I see."

The elderly scientist's voice trembled with fear: "That must be a weapon based on controlling electromagnetic interactions..."

"Human civilization's technological level has likely reached a point where it can easily manipulate the electromagnetic forces between molecules and atoms!"

"The gap between us and them..."

An insurmountable barrier!

The scientist swallowed the two words that were on the tip of his tongue, but everyone present understood what they meant.

"..."

The alliance leader was silent for a moment: "Has the draft plan been completed?"

Upon hearing this, the elderly scientist's eyes sharpened considerably.

It nodded and pointed to the star map on the screen.

"We conducted multiple simulations of the human fleet's route."

As soon as he finished speaking, countless densely packed, luminous white flight paths appeared on the deep star map.

It can be clearly seen that the vast majority of the flight paths are distributed around a straight line that runs through the two star systems.

"The final simulation results show..."

"Their primary target is the Decaheng Galaxy, and their secondary target is the Keldar Heng Galaxy."

"Considering that these two star systems are located in the central region of the defense line, and are also important supply areas for the defense line."

"Based on the overall assessment, the probability of the human fleet choosing this route is over 90%."

It delineates a region on the star map.

"The final execution point of the plan will be here."

……

The border defenses seem to offer no protection whatsoever against the human fleet.

The power of the long snake formation was fully unleashed.

The pale green light kept flashing.

Each appearance signifies a warship transforming into a dense cloud of atoms drifting through the universe.

This bizarre and unpredictable attack caused immense panic among the Alliance warships within the defensive line.

As shipborne drones scattered and rippled across the fleet's combined shields, flashes of light from explosions lit up the area around the fleet in succession.

The once dark universe seemed to brighten up at this moment.

The roar of artillery fire lasted for a long time.

Until the human fleet successfully tore a hole in the surface of the defenses—it broke through the surface defenses constructed by the first and second echelons.

The massive fleet spun as it squeezed out from the dense Enrogett formation.

Endless artillery fire flashed behind him, but only caused ripples that spread slowly across his body.

The warships responsible for the pursuit began to accelerate, attempting to intercept the long snake that was heading straight for the enemy's stronghold once again.

Clearly, the human fleet had no intention of engaging them in a prolonged battle.

After quickly eliminating some pursuing warships that were too close and could potentially damage the warp drive, it swiftly entered warp mode.

The moment the warp bubble successfully unfolded and the massive fleet completely disappeared from the visible universe, the pursuing Enrogett warships slowed down and returned to the main force.

According to the orders from the command center, the remaining forces of the first line of defense will quickly retreat to the third echelon of defense located in the Dicarheng and Kdelheng star systems.

That was the final battlefield designated by the command center.

At that time, the border defense line will completely encircle the human fleet in this massive defense line that stretches ten light-years, using a pincer attack from both the front and rear!

……

The human expeditionary fleet rushed toward the interior of the border defense line at extremely high speed.

Two star systems lie ahead of the fleet.

The Gon system is not large; it consists of only two small Gon systems with red dwarf stars as their main stars.

According to the exploration, each of the two star systems contains only one rocky planet, which can be described as an extremely barren region.

Normally, the human fleet wouldn't even give it a second glance, but now...

That is the primary target of the human fleet!

After passing through the surface defenses formed by the first and second echelons, the universe once again became calm and empty.

This is a counterintuitive yet quite normal phenomenon—there aren't actually that many warships and turrets inside the interstellar defense line.

In some ways, it is not much different from ordinary outer space.

The reason is also very simple.

One hundred thousand warships are still far too few for a defense line ten light-years away.

Even a level six civilization would find it difficult to fill a long defensive line spanning ten light-years with warships.

Therefore, interstellar defenses often exhibit a polarized extreme state.

In densely packed areas, more than ten thousand warships could be piled up.

In open areas, you can't even see a meteorite.

……

A month later.

[0.1 light-years from the target.]

Inside the command center, yellow signal lights, which carried a warning meaning, were everywhere.

Perhaps sensing the intentions of the human fleet, remote detection showed that the military forces around the target star system were growing at an extremely high rate.

Numerous floating turrets and interstellar mines have turned this star field into a "minefield".

Add to that the attacks and harassment from tens of thousands of warships...

Even the combined shield was under heavy load at this moment.

The concentration of antiparticles around the fleet has increased by 10%.

He didn't pay attention to the message.

Not only him, but also Lü Yongchang and Zhao Zijie, who were far away in the Kepler 452 galaxy, paid no attention to this message.

In interstellar warfare, it is normal for the concentration of antiparticles in the universe to increase.

After all, for a Level 5 civilization, antimatter cannons are the most common and most useful weapons.

"Continue forward!" Bai Yixuan ordered in a deep voice, "Destroy the enemy supply area within the target Heng system as soon as possible."
