Cataclysmic Era: I can unlock the tech tree

The power of the dense array of antimatter reactors on the Enrogett flagship has begun to increase again.

The so-called space weapon also started operating again.

A deep, dark crack reappeared between the two antennas that conducted the force field.

Spatial rift!

Under the crew's control, the two antennas were adjusted in an extremely subtle way.

Swish!

Once the launch parameters were adjusted, the thin black line, just like last time, broke free from the antenna's control and flew straight toward Noli Star!

The thin black lines that rapidly spread to both ends disappeared from everyone's sight; only a high-precision spacetime fluctuation detection device could detect their existence.

Almost at the same time.

A cloud of dust suddenly rose from the surface of the distant iron planet.

Dust belts appear in the equatorial region of iron planets, like a belt encircling the entire dark gray iron planet.

A tachyon signal from the Enrojet flagship was transmitted to the command center.

"The spatial rift has successfully hit its target!"

A hint of joy appeared in the eyes of the elderly scientist.

It's good that you hit the target!

At the very least, this proves that the Enroget civilization can indeed use this "weapon" from a higher civilization!

Thinking this, a deep sense of anticipation appeared on its face.

"The effects are currently unknown."

"Preliminary assessment..."

Suddenly, the report stopped abruptly.

The previously noisy command center fell silent.

The elderly scientist stared at the enormous screen in front of him and instinctively took a half-step back.

"this……"

At this moment, Enrogett, the scientist who had dedicated his life to the natural sciences, uttered an unprecedented exclamation: "God..."

The alliance leader stood there, trembling, unable to utter a single word.

Shocked!

It’s too shocking!

In the image, the pitted iron planet looks like a watermelon cut in half by a sharp blade, severed at the equator!

Under the influence of the star's gravity, the motion states of the two regions of this planet gradually showed slight differences.

Dust and gravel from the surface were flung up by the slight collision between the two hemispheres, escaping the planet's gravitational pull and becoming specks of stardust in the vast universe.

Due to its own quality issues, the changes of Noli Star in the image are very slow.

But everyone knows it.

That black spatial rift was like a sharp divine weapon, cleaving it in two with a single stroke!

"..." The elderly scientist sighed deeply, "Unfortunately, its core has completely cooled down."

"Otherwise, we will see an even more spectacular sight."

The alliance leader stared silently at the scientist.

After a long silence, it asked in a hoarse voice, "Is this power... enough?"

"Of course, Your Excellency."

The elderly scientist smiled broadly: "Before this spatial rift, even the most powerful planetary warships would not escape being severed."

"The Enroget civilization will never fail!"

……

At the same time, a tachyon message traveled several light-years to reach the Enroget Central Gontic Galaxy.

"It's a message from human civilization."

The elderly scientist looked somewhat surprised as he operated the control panel in front of him.

The information has begun to be translated.

Lines of Enrogett text appeared on the giant screen in the command center.

"……surrender?"

The alliance leader quickly scanned the information and scoffed, "What a joke!"

"Tell them."

"The Enrogett Alliance will never surrender!"

"We await their arrival in the central galaxy!"

"That's right." The elderly scientist slowed his movements, sat back in his chair, and smiled. "It's time to let them experience what we went through."

Seeing the rapidly approaching human fleet on the tachyon radar, the Alliance leader issued a solemn order.

"[Enrogant], prepare for battle!"

……

Outside the Enrogete-centered galaxy.

Accompanied by intense spacetime fluctuations, a massive fleet appeared in the dark universe.

Inside the Titan Mothership.

After escaping the faster-than-light curvature state, the view outside the porthole returned to normal.

In the star-studded universe, there is an exceptionally bright spot of light.

That was the ultimate goal of the human fleet's expedition—the Enrogette Central Heng system.

Bai Yixuan, sitting in the command position, looked extremely solemn, and his relaxed smile had completely disappeared.

The events of not long ago resurfaced in his mind.

……

The letter urging surrender has been sent.

The Enrogett Alliance's reply has also arrived.

To his surprise, and even more so to the expectations of Lü Yongchang and others, the Enroget civilization did not choose to surrender.

They even adopted a posture of decisive battle.

"Why should they?" Bai Yixuan frowned. "Why should they fight us?"

"Information obtained from the main control computer on Kerdel indicates that almost all of their combat-capable warships have been gathered at the border defense line."

"According to our estimates, there are at most five thousand relatively advanced warships and one flagship in the central Heng system."

"We've dealt with 100,000 warships; do they really think they can hold us off with this small force?"

As he spoke, a deep look of confusion appeared on his face.

Ahead, within the holographic projection.

Lü Yongchang looked solemn.

His bad premonition grew stronger.

"maybe……"

A voice came from the side: "What trump card do they have that could turn the tide?"

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Lü Yongchang and Zhao Zijie's expressions immediately froze.

Looking at Gao Yang, who was already deep in thought, Lü Yongchang took a deep breath.

Well, from now on, his terrible premonition has come true.

"Even if it's a trump card..."

"What on earth could allow a civilization that has only recently advanced to level five to maintain such confidence after witnessing [Chi You]..."

Lu Yongchang frowned and muttered to himself.

After a moment of silence, Zhao Zijie spoke up, "Commander Bai, please be careful."

"The pace of the attack on the central star system can be slowed down as much as possible."

"Focus on gathering intelligence first, and then consider attacking once Chi You arrives at the main battlefield."

Bai Yixuan glanced at Gao Yang, who looked somewhat helpless in the holographic projection, and then at Zhao Zijie and Lü Yongchang, who were taking things very seriously...

He nodded vigorously.

"I see!"
