Cataclysmic Era: I can unlock the tech tree

"Fuck him!"

Zhao Zijie's face flushed slightly as he slammed his fist on the control panel in front of him, producing a dull thud: "Human civilization will only fall on the path of its charge!"

"Full power activation of the [Time-Space Trap]!"

"Activate the [Spatial Annihilation] device!"

"[Spatial Rift] Initiating charging!"

As before, Zhao Zijie chose the same strategy he used when fighting the [herdsmen].

Unfortunately, without knowing the enemy's methods, this is the best solution for the human fleet at present.

……

Inside the White Dwarf Fortress of the Cleaners.

【9436】It swung its tentacles leisurely, looking at the warning coming from the light screen with a relaxed expression.

"Looks like these little guys are ready to go all out."

"That's interesting. Don't they know how big the gap is between a Level 6 and a Level 8 civilization?"

After a moment of contemplation, his companion [9435] agreed in a low voice, "Very likely, after all, it's a civilization that came from a small place."

"Given 9527's nature, it probably won't order its main fleet to deal with these level 6 civilizations unless there's a significant benefit to be gained."

"In that small place in the Milky Way, apart from the Shepherds and the Milky Way branch, the Enroget civilization should be one of the top beings."

"Let alone the strength of an eighth-level civilization."

"I estimate that they have never even seen a true Level 7 civilization."

[9436] Upon hearing this, the mocking smile in his eyes intensified once more.

It gazed mockingly at the data displayed on the screen: "This level of spacetime trap?"

"How ignorant..."

As it spoke, its tentacles brushed across the light screen in front of it and quickly pressed a few buttons: "Activate the four-maintenance shield and let's watch the show for a while."

……

The instant the order was given.

A strong spatial fluctuation suddenly appeared around the White Dwarf Fortress!

Running at full power, the [Time Trap] created considerable waves on the calm ocean of time in just a few seconds.

What followed was an even stronger fluctuation in spacetime.

Under the blue-white light, long, thin, dark cracks appeared continuously in this space.

Like glass about to shatter, these thin cracks keep connecting and spreading...

The white dwarf fortress, radiating a soft glow, remained silently suspended in the center of this space.

It made no move to resist.

seem……

To it, these attacks were nothing more than a gentle breeze blowing across the hills.

Wow!

As the cracks continued to spread, the space that reached the critical point truly shattered into countless fragments, just like a piece of glass.

A perfectly smooth, spherical area, almost black, appeared directly in front of the Human Alliance fleet.

Pitch black, deep...

The next instant, the smooth outer edge of the spherical region began to roughen.

Under the self-repairing effect of spacetime, this void is being repaired at an extremely rapid pace.

at the same time.

A fleet of over 20,000 warships is ready to go!

Hundreds of thousands of spatial rifts appeared in the vast universe, and the starlight from afar became much dimmer!

Whoosh!

Under Zero's precise control, these spatial rifts detached from the ship's hull just before the void region disappeared and vanished directly into the visible universe!

Finally, the void caused by the spatial annihilation was completely repaired.

Blue and white light reappeared in this star field.

Inside the Earth, Lu Yongchang looked at the images projected in the holographic projection and felt a tremor in his heart.

From the outside, the planetary fortress showed no signs of abnormality.

"Attention, the spatial rift is about to hit the target."

The instant the electronic synthesized voice sounded, the blue and white planetary fortress suddenly "disappeared" into the universe!

……

"zero!"

Lu Yongchang's expression changed drastically, and he abruptly stood up: "Immediately scout the surrounding area and determine the enemy's coordinates as soon as possible!"

"Enemy coordinates have been locked." Without any pause, the synthesized voice came again, "The enemy ship has not moved."

"Wh...what?!"

Lu Yongchang's pupils contracted slightly, and he raised his hand and slid it across the holographic projection in front of him.

Radar detected an area of ​​gravitational anomaly ahead of the fleet.

That is the location of the White Dwarf Fortress—the White Dwarf Fortress's mass far exceeds that of an asteroid of the same size.

"No, no movement?" Lü Yongchang stared blankly at the image on the holographic projection. "Invisible, invisible?"

"Does invisibility even work?"

He suddenly felt like his mind was going blank.

Does that mean the warship is no longer in this space if it becomes invisible?

Before he could figure out the reason, the tachyon radar issued a warning.

"The attack has successfully reached the enemy ship's area."

"Missing enemy ship, no visible damage."

In the tachyon radar, the signal sources that symbolized the "space rift" passed through that gravitational anomaly zone out of thin air and flew into the distance without any abnormality!

The next instant.

The blue and white light reappeared.

The pristine, dwarf white fortress, resembling a work of art, reappeared before everyone's eyes.

Inside the command center, silence returned immediately.

……

"Tsk..."

Lu Yongchang gritted his teeth, trying his best to think about the reasons behind this amazing phenomenon.

"Continue the attack!"

Zhao Zijie, who was standing nearby, quickly reacted: "Switch to attack mode!"

"Switch to kinetic and energy weapons!"

If space weapons fail, then use relatively primitive weapons!

The missiles equipped with four-dimensional jump capabilities took the lead and rushed towards the White Dwarf Fortress.

Following closely behind were high-energy laser beams and matter-disintegrating rays.

The scene of 20,000 warships firing at the same time was truly magnificent.

The dim starry sky suddenly brightened, and from a distance, it looked as if a dazzling star had appeared out of nowhere!

The White Dwarf Fortress remained motionless, silently defying the attacks of human civilization.

As the first warp missile approached, the White Dwarf Fortress vanished from the visible universe once again!

The next instant, the warp missile suddenly appeared behind the area where the White Dwarf Fortress was located!

……

"The missile disappeared for a split second!"

Lu Yongchang's eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at the purple high-energy laser beams on the screen.

really!

Just as it was about to reach the area where the White Dwarf Fortress was located, the high-energy laser beam vanished into thin air in space.

When it reappeared, it had already arrived at the rear of the White Dwarf Fortress!

A laser beam that should have been continuous appeared to have been cut off in the middle!

"I see……"

The scene before him sparked a thought in Lü Yongchang's mind: "A dimensional shield..."

"To be precise, it should be four protective shields."

"They twisted the port of the four-dimensional Klein bottle into a spherical shield!"

P.S.: Thanks to the amazing verification from 丨Linglong丨!

Thank you, boss!
