Cataclysmic Era: I can unlock the tech tree

Alliance Command Center.

Everyone stared at the screen, speechless.

According to the detection data, the nine silver-white, shuttle-shaped warships were not very large.

In fact, compared to the other warships in the human fleet, it could be described as slender.

But no one would believe that its combat power is weaker than those massive warships.

That crimson warship is a good example.

The entire warship was built for a single giant cannon, a design concept that greatly shocked the Enroget Alliance.

Of course, the power of that shot also deeply shocked them.

"What... kind of special-function warship is this...?"

The elderly scientist frowned.

No one answered his question.

……

On the battlefield.

The once-scattered, massive fleet regrouped and reformed into the long, single-line formation that struck fear into the hearts of the Enrogett Alliance.

The fluctuations of the warp drive stirred up a few tiny ripples in the calm spacetime.

The fleet begins to accelerate!

Next target: the Kerdel Galaxy!

……

Earth year 3730.

The second heart of the defense line, the Kerdel Heng system, was attacked by the human fleet.

Unlike Dika Star, Kerdel Star is, after all, a supply depot for the border defense line.

Considering the supplies in the warehouse, Bai Yixuan chose another option.

[Wangchuan] Neutron Ship.

The Enroget Alliance also learned of the power of the nine silver-white shuttle-shaped warships—under their combined effect, Kerdel became a dead star in just one week.

Not only the Alliance members stationed there, but even the microorganisms on the planet have died out completely.

This annihilation-style attack plan once again shocked the Enrogett Alliance.

It could be considered a case of things reaching their extreme and then reversing.

Meanwhile, the Enrogete Alliance's defensive line finally completed its contraction.

At this moment, more than 5 Enrogete warships are converging on the Kerdel Heng system!

Looking at the increasingly dense encirclement displayed on the tachyon radar, Bai Yixuan did not show much anxiety on his face.

Quite the opposite.

Instead of taking advantage of the encirclement not being formed, the fleet fully utilized the factories on the engineering ships to repair the fleet with resources from Kerdel.

The Enrogete League was happy with this arrangement.

This created a strange balance between the two fleets—I mass-produce my troops, and you deploy your fleet.

Just like the ever-increasing number of enemy ships around them, the number of [Xuanwu] frigates and shipborne drones also began to steadily recover.

The long-absent joint shield has reappeared around the fleet.

However, compared to the previous combined shield, this combined shield is much weaker in terms of resistance.

As for the reason...

Bai Yixuan glanced at the information on the holographic projection in front of him, took a deep breath, and stood up from his chair to loosen his muscles.

"It's finally here..."

"Expeditionary fleet, prepare to break out!"

……

Just like the human fleet.

The moment nearly all the warships on the border defense line had successfully assembled, the Alliance Command Center issued the order for a general offensive.

Edge of the Kerdal galaxy.

The 50,000 warships were in high spirits and ready for a decisive battle.

Within the Heng star system, the massive human fleet once again formed a long, single-file formation.

suddenly.

A piercing alarm sounded throughout all the Enroget warships.

……

"What is this?!"

Inside the Alliance Command Center, a gasp of surprise rang out from the Alliance leader.

In front of it, the screen simultaneously displays images from the spatiotemporal fluctuation monitoring device at the front line.

A ripple appeared in the image.

It swore it had never seen such powerful spacetime fluctuations!

According to the detection data from the tachyon radar, its speed is only 20c, but the fluctuations it causes far exceed those of human fleets that reach a speed of 100c!

Let alone that.

Even the scientists in the command center frowned.

They even suspected that there was something wrong with the instrument.

As the elderly scientist watched the spacetime fluctuation signal getting closer and closer, a bad premonition suddenly arose in his heart.

It steadied itself and said, "Excluding the possibility that the detection instruments are being interfered with, this is very likely reinforcements from human civilization."

"Leader, please launch the general offensive as soon as possible."

……

The order for the general offensive has been issued!

More than 50,000 warships simultaneously launched an attack on the human fleet located on the planet Kedair!

Long-range firepower exchanges remain the mainstream tactic in interstellar warfare.

Faced with overwhelming firepower, Zero's computing power was squeezed to its limit.

Every electromagnetic cannon shot, every high-energy laser beam, and every warp drive missile was used to its fullest potential!

Even the combined shield's power fluctuates rapidly with the frequency of attacks!

With zero-level interception, the human fleet that was stationary and attacking did not suffer much damage.

As the abnormal spacetime fluctuation drew ever closer, and the war was dragged into a war of attrition, the Alliance Command Center could no longer sit still.

A war of attrition?

With the human fleet backed by the supply depots of the entire defensive line, who could possibly outlast it?!

Charge! Charge!

Under orders from the command center, the Enrogete fleet broke the balance first, with 50,000 warships swarming out, spitting cannon fire at the target as they charged toward Kerdel!

……

Frustrated, Trevis directed the warships to charge forward.

Under its command, the warship fully demonstrated its capabilities.

The attack from the human fleet was swiftly intercepted, while it launched countless attacks on the human fleet in return.

The piercing alarm blared to its absolute limit.

"Damn the alarm!" Trevis muttered angrily, staring intently at the porthole ahead.

Outside the porthole lies a bizarre and deadly interstellar battlefield.

"One day I'm going to smash it..."

It was as if someone had grabbed its neck; the unfinished words were suddenly stuck in its vocal organs.

Suddenly, a gigantic "planet" appeared ahead of the charging warships!

Trevis blinked hard and looked ahead again.

It's not a hallucination!

That really was a planet!!!

"Slow down! Slow down!"

Trevis roared the order: "Avoidance!!!"

The advancing warships traced a graceful arc, narrowly avoiding the enormous, silvery-white planet.

Warships can be evaded, but attacks launched by warships are clearly unavoidable.

Just as various weapons were about to bombard the planet, a layer of azure shield appeared around the planet.

boom!!!

The intense explosion and flames engulfed the planet.

The flames died down.

The layers of ripples on the shield quickly disappeared, and the intact silver-white planet was once again presented to the Enrogett fleet.

"What, what is this..." Trevis murmured in a hoarse voice.

A message popped up on the screen.

[Enroget Fleet.]

Your opponent is me!
