Cataclysmic Era: I can unlock the tech tree

The war had gradually reached a fever pitch, but the two sides had not exchanged even a single punctuation mark of information.

This is an extremely unusual phenomenon.

Human civilization has never encountered such a bizarre war before.

Without any communication, the enemy rushed in from thousands of light-years away.

The moment they met, he was slapped hard across the face. But the other party refused to believe it and launched a desperate attack while refusing all communication!

Let's set aside what the unknown civilization that got beaten up was thinking.

At least, all the academicians and commanders at the command center were bewildered: Who am I attacking? Who is attacking me? Why are they attacking?

Despite their confusion, the Human Alliance fleet did not slacken its efforts in the slightest.

The moment the command was confirmed, the output power of the antimatter reactor inside the miniature universe traction platform [Kuafu] began to increase dramatically.

The force of the "kite string" began to increase continuously, gradually pulling the microcosm closer to the macrocosm.

The small cosmic port, reconstructed and reinforced by the Academy of Sciences, is gradually becoming clearer.

A black sphere with a surface shimmering with starlight suddenly appeared in the vast universe!

next moment.

One after another, massive warships with various colored signal lights flashing on their surfaces emerged from the black sphere and slowly sailed out of the Heng star system.

The first to appear was a regular fleet consisting of the Golden Crow, the White Tiger, and the Black Tortoise.

Tens of thousands of warships, each over 80,000 meters long, appeared together.

This was an extremely shocking scene.

Like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, the powerful spacetime fluctuations, driven by the warp drive, spread unhindered outwards from the Heng galaxy.

Next up were a full fifty Titan Motherships.

Although their numbers are far fewer than those of conventional warships, the Titan Mothership's scale of over 100,000 meters still delivers a tremendous sense of awe.

Is this the end?!

of course not!

The spacetime fluctuations at the microcosm port not only did not diminish, but actually became stronger!

Five small silver-white dots appeared in the microcosm port!

These five small dots, once they appeared, magnified at an extremely fast speed!

In an instant, they revealed their full form in the vast universe—five planets, entirely silver-white, with a dense layer of hydrogen armor covering their surfaces.

【Chi You】Planetary Fortress Array!

In just a few minutes, more than 10,000 warships arrived in the greater universe from the smaller universe!

After a brief wait, these more than 10,000 warships, driven by warp drives, headed unabashedly toward the outer reaches of the Heng system!

……

The outer region of the nameless Heng galaxy.

The unknown fleet is struggling to cope with the "strange" kinetic weapons launched by the Human Alliance fleet.

These kinetic weapons, equipped with four-dimensional jump technology and ignoring shields and armor, truly astonished this unknown civilization.

However, the situation of the war did not change drastically because of the appearance of these weapons.

The reason is simple: human civilization has too few soldiers.

At least at this moment, there are far too few human-made warships on the open.

This is also the tactic that the unknown civilization is preparing to adopt—to forcibly destroy 499 warships of human civilization with more than 5,000 warships!

Just as they were preparing to implement this tactic, a powerful spacetime fluctuation came from inside the star system.

The tachyon radar is almost burning out.

No, it's not just tachyon radar.

The commander of the unknown fleet looked at the ten thousand warships that suddenly appeared on the radar and felt as if his mind was about to burn out.

Wasn't it said there were only five hundred warships?

Where did this warship come from?

In the outer region of the Heng star system, the battlefield that was originally fiercely fighting was momentarily calmed down because of this inexplicably appearing fleet—the offensive launched by the unknown fleet paused for a moment.

next second.

This hard-won peace was torn to shreds by even more powerful artillery fire!

Before the fleet arrives, the artillery fire begins!

The moment hundreds of thousands of spatial rifts and warp missiles appeared, the outcome of this inexplicable war seemed predetermined.

……

The spherical warship hovers in space.

Fine, dense, dark black lines appeared continuously around the smooth hull of the ship, then quickly detached from it and disappeared into the visible universe.

These space weapons are not targeting human civilization's warships, but rather the dense array of kinetic weapons surrounding them!

Although spatial rifts are not ideal for human fleets, they are quite effective at dealing with warp missiles whose speed is limited by the [time trap].

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The flashes of warp drive missiles illuminated the dim universe, turning the once gloomy and cold edges of the Heng galaxy into daylight.

Good times are not long.

When gravity bombs and black hole bombs entered the fray, the evenly matched offensive and defensive situation took a turn for the better.

A blinding flash of white light appeared, and a large amount of energy was instantly transformed into a powerful gravitational field.

Thanks to the spherical warship's own structure, coupled with its own space shield, theoretically, gravity bombs and black hole bombs would have a hard time causing effective damage to it.

But... who said these weapons were launched at enemy warships?

Under the influence of gravity bombs and black hole bombs, the flight trajectory of the space rift deviated greatly.

This also allowed a large number of warp missiles to successfully approach the enemy ship!

Despite employing a full range of defensive measures, the unknown fleet is dwindling at an alarming rate due to severely limited mobility, ineffective armor and shields, and compromised active interception methods.

After a salvo, the number of unknown fleet members had dropped to a thousand.

At this moment, the massive fleet that had suddenly appeared also arrived at the front line.

Despite the sudden reversal of the situation, the unknown fleet still did not respond to the continuous communication requests from human civilization.

Despite being at a significant disadvantage, they managed to create an overwhelming momentum.

……

Human civilization deeply respects this fearless spirit and has responded swiftly.

A second salvo!

What?

Close combat?

Are you kidding me? With such a huge advantage, you think I'd fight you in close combat?

This star field has also fallen into complete chaos.

Gravity bombs, black hole bombs, and space rifts...

These silent attacks completely disrupted the spacetime of this star system!

Extreme celestial bodies like micro black holes are constantly being annihilated, but they are also constantly being created!

It can be said that this star field has become a place of danger at every turn.

Let alone low-level civilizations, even a human civilization at the peak of level five would not be able to escape unscathed from this chaotic star field!

The massive gravitational fluctuations even began to affect two nearby stars.

Their trajectories have changed slightly.

According to Zero's simulation calculations, even if the war were to stop at this point, the two stars would continue to approach each other under the influence of gravity and eventually collide, resulting in a small supernova explosion.

While unleashing a saturation barrage, the port gates on the sides of the battleship [Golden Crow] and the destroyer [White Tiger] quietly opened.

Millions of shipborne drones swarmed out from it.

Driven by warp drives, they mingled in the gaps between various artillery fire, speeding toward their target.

With its own survival in jeopardy, the unknown fleet failed to notice the small drones that were gradually approaching.

boom!!!

When these carrier-based drones successfully approached the enemy flagship and planetary fortress, a violent explosion erupted instantly, engulfing the enemy flagship and planetary fortress—on orders from the command center, all warp missiles and gravity bombs were detonated simultaneously.

The raging gravity and the aftershocks of the explosion completely neutralized the various attacks launched by the enemy ships.

A command was issued from the Human Union's microcosm and received by these shipborne drones.

[Clear the area ahead.]

[Leap approved!]
