Cataclysmic Era: I can unlock the tech tree

Under Bai Yixuan's command, the fleet accelerated again, heading straight towards the small Heng star system in the distance, facing the attack of the Alliance's defensive fleet.

In that star system, there are numerous factories and supply depots.

Without a doubt, that was a place the human fleet was determined to conquer.

The concentration of antiparticles around the fleet has increased by 20%.

[Warning: The antiparticle concentration increase curve is abnormal. Please be aware!]

Unlike last time, this time the warning message has turned blood red.

Bai Yixuan was slightly startled and quickly frowned.

But after thinking about it for a long time, he still felt that this was not an unusual phenomenon.

A 20% increase seems to only prove that the antimatter cannons in this star system are firing at a slightly higher frequency than before.

In some ways, this is even a normal phenomenon.

After all, the human fleet is now close to the core area of ​​the enemy's defenses, so it's normal for the counterattack to be more intense.

"keep going."

"We believe this is merely a temporary phenomenon caused by the frequent use of antimatter cannons."

"A 20% increase in antiparticle concentration will not have much impact on warships. Minimize the use of kinetic weapons, as those antiparticles will significantly weaken their power."

Zhao Zijie's calm voice came from the speaker, and Bai Yixuan's anxious mood gradually calmed down.

"Raise the shield power to the maximum." Lu Yongchang's voice followed. "Although we don't know what tricks the Enroget Alliance is up to, it's always better to be careful."

"Received." Bai Yixuan responded softly, while simultaneously ordering the combined shield's power to be increased.

In addition, kinetic weapons such as electromagnetic railguns have been gradually shut down, with only energy weapons such as lasers and antimatter cannons still firing normally.

Like the human fleet, the Enrogett warships also seemed to have noticed the problem; they increased their shield strength and stopped using kinetic weapons.

This scene also dispelled the doubts in everyone's hearts to some extent.

……

The inability to use kinetic weapons did not significantly weaken the strength of the human fleet.

With the combined effects of the antimatter cannon and the matter-disintegrating cannon, the human fleet continued to advance towards the target star system like a bulldozer.

Unbeknownst to them, the concentration of antimatter around the fleet had exceeded 100% of the normal level.

However, considering the actual situation on the battlefield, after some calculations, Zero did not issue the red alert as before.

As the Heng system drew ever closer, and the number of Enroget warships gathering around them increased rapidly, the atmosphere quickly became tense, both on the Titan Mothership and in the command center far away in the Kepler Heng system.

suddenly.

A piercing alarm sounded simultaneously on the Titan Mothership and in the command center.

The red alarm lights flashed rapidly, turning the cabin a blood-red mess.

Blood-red text then appeared before everyone's eyes.

【warn! 】

[The concentration of antiparticles around the fleet is rising abnormally!]

150%!

300%!

1000%!

【…】

A series of numbers jumped on the holographic projection and soared at an extremely high speed to a terrifying level!

This scene deeply moved everyone.

"Fleet, halt!"

Bai Yixuan's pupils dilated slightly. Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately issued the order: "Combined Shield, full power!"

Zero's reaction speed is undeniably fast.

Almost the instant the order was given, the warp drives of the entire fleet stopped operating simultaneously!

Even so, the fleet inevitably entered a space filled with antiparticles!

Bai Yixuan stared in fear at the numbers displayed on the holographic projection.

The concentration of antiparticles in this area even reaches the standard of an antimatter cannon!

Without a doubt, this could not have been a naturally formed location, nor could it have been the result of an antimatter cannon fired by the fleet!

So, it seems there's only one answer left!

Inside the Titan Mothership, the alarms grew increasingly piercing.

A sudden and unexpected change has occurred!

The enemy ships that had been intercepting the human fleet all ceased their attacks.

Then, under Bai Yixuan's horrified gaze, they recklessly charged towards the fleet, shields in their wake!

In that instant, countless thoughts flashed through Bai Yixuan's mind.

He suddenly understood the Enrogett Alliance's battle plan!

A madman! A complete madman!!

"zero!"

A thin layer of cold sweat instantly broke out on Bai Yixuan's back. He abruptly stood up from his chair and roared, "Combined Shield, operate at super power!"

Under Zero's control, the output power of the antimatter reactor inside the [Xuanwu] frigate soared at an extremely high speed.

The immense energy surged through the pipes towards the shield generation device.

0.1 seconds later, the combined shield surrounding the fleet began to increase in strength at an unreasonable rate.

The shield generation device, operating at overpower, can only function for ten minutes.

Ten minutes later, the shield generation device will be completely melted down.

Without a doubt, this is the final ripple of the Black Tortoise!

Without any hesitation, he almost instinctively roared again, "All shipborne drones, leave the combined shield!"

"Block them!!"

The shipborne drones that were originally surrounding the fleet also activated their composite shields under Zero's control and sailed out of the fleet's joint shields to meet the enemy ships that were like moths to a flame.

At this moment, the entire human fleet was surrounded by Enroget warships.

Even though the combination of matter-disintegrating cannons, antimatter cannons, and shield jamming devices could quickly eliminate enemy ships, the human fleet dared not make a move at this moment.

There is no other reason.

The concentration of antiparticles in the surrounding area is too high!

Destroying the enemy ship is a minor matter, but if its shields are breached, the matter inside will come into contact with the surrounding antimatter...

That would be a disaster!

Attacking is not an option, and not attacking is also not an option.

The human fleet appears to be at a stalemate.

But this stalemate lasted only a few seconds before the Enrogett Alliance's actions shattered it completely!

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the massive number of Enrogett warships surrounding the fleet deactivated their composite shields.

The surrounding antimatter quickly came into contact with the warship.

Annihilation has occurred!

A dazzling burst of light shone in the dim universe!

At this moment, in an inconspicuous corner of this vast universe, a small, dim star seemed to appear out of thin air!
