Cataclysmic Era: I can unlock the tech tree

In an instant.

A sudden change has occurred!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Under Zero's remote control, all warp missiles self-destructed after initiating short-range jumps!

The intense explosion and flames instantly engulfed the star field where the White Dwarf Fortress was located.

Under the cover of the explosion's flames, these ships, the seeds of civilization, detached themselves from the main fleet in a shower of petals, scattering in all directions.

According to the Academy of Sciences' plan, the Dandelion will use its warp drive to travel rapidly to a distance of a thousand light-years, and then switch to its antimatter drive for conventional acceleration.

Once the starships reach a speed of 0.5c, they will enter a dormant state and rely solely on inertia to fly towards the target area.

The imagination is wonderful.

but……

The reality is very cruel.

The moment the Dandelion left the main fleet, the White Dwarf Fortress, which had been stationary, showed signs of movement for the first time!

The originally soft blue-white light gradually intensified, and an unknown wave spread outwards from its center!

Wow!

The tranquil ocean of time and space was instantly overturned!

Having just entered faster-than-light warp drive mode, the Dandelion spacecraft has reappeared in the visible universe due to a warp drive malfunction!

……

"warn!"

"A spacetime tsunami has been detected! The tsunami's intensity... has exceeded the detection range!"

"The Dandelion has escaped its faster-than-light curvature state."

"Warp drive attempting to restart... Restart failed!"

"Warning!! Warp drive damaged!!"

Not only the Dandelion, but the entire warp drive of the Human Alliance fleet was destroyed in this sudden and unexpected spacetime fluctuation!

In an instant, the command center was filled with alarm messages.

"A spacetime trap?!"

The strikingly similar attack methods caused Lü Yongchang to gasp in surprise.

Looking at the detection data in the holographic projection, he felt his heart skip a beat.

He had never even imagined a spacetime trap of this magnitude, let alone seen one!

Its intensity was so great that it directly destroyed all of the Human Alliance's warp engines!

Its scope is so vast that it covers a wide star field spanning ten light-years!

Shocked, Lü Yongchang felt a sinking feeling in his heart.

The Dandelion Project has failed!

The Civilization Spark Ship, having lost its ability to travel faster than light, has no chance of escaping the grasp of the Cleansers Civilization!

Another plan has failed.

"Professor, should we send [Ten] to make a move?"

Zhao Zijie's voice was filled with anxiety: "If we don't use the Imperial Fortress now, we might not have another chance..."

"Wait a little longer!" Lü Yongchang shouted. "The Imperial Fortress is our last trump card. Once it's used, we'll have no way out!"

He glanced at the holographic projection beside him.

The projection shows the orbital status of several stars within the microcosm.

He gritted his teeth, his face hardening.

"Attention all!"

"Flagship enters, escorting [Kuafu] to the front lines!"

"Fleet, prepare for impact!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zijie's face immediately showed a look of surprise.

"professor!"

Which weapon are you planning to use?

"At such close range... our fleet will also be affected!"

"There's no turning back!" A cold glint flashed in Lü Yongchang's eyes. "Tell [Ten], once the supernova explodes, immediately break free of the cosmos!"

……

【Gemini Explosion】is located at the top of the sixth-level civilization's technology tree, and is an advanced technology of 【Starburst】.

The principle is quite simple.

Use two stars of equal mass and throw them at the enemy.

At the moment the two stars collide and merge, it triggers core fusion, thus creating a supernova explosion.

Its power is more than twice that of the Starburst.

It is the most powerful weapon in human civilization to date, capable of destroying an entire star system with ease.

After the breakthrough in related theories, human civilization has never applied it to actual combat, nor has it conducted any tests—its power is simply too great, and it could even have a significant impact on one's own fleet.

Test data shows that even the radiation shielding layer provided by [Nus] cannot withstand this level of attack!

But it's different now.

Human civilization has a ready-made shelter—the fortress left behind by the Tenth Empire!

In some ways, it's a good match for their major.

[Ten] naturally had no objection to Lü Yongchang's proposal—if human civilization were to encounter trouble, it and [Ten Descendants] would certainly not have a good ending either.

……

The effects of the [spacetime trap] are still present.

The flames of the antimatter engine suddenly blazed in the dim universe.

The massive flagship, the Earth, and the miniature cosmic traction platform, Kuafu, slowly sailed toward the White Dwarf Fortress, accompanied by the main warships.

The offensive has paused, and the White Dwarf Fortress has also deactivated its four protective shields, revealing its blue and white hull.

As before, it remained silently hovering in front of the Human Alliance fleet.

It's like a cat that's caught a mouse, watching with amusement as human civilization struggles to the death.

Once human civilization has exhausted its means, it will wipe out human civilization in one fell swoop!

As time slowly passed, the distance between the two grew closer and closer, and Lü Yongchang's heart began to pound.

"Open the miniature universe port, unleash the stars!"

When Kuafu and Earth arrived at the target area, Lü Yongchang let out a roar!

……

hum...

A powerful spatial-temporal fluctuation suddenly appeared in this spacetime-turbulent land!

A bright fireball grew larger and larger, quickly squeezing out of the "narrow" little universe port!

Both the White Dwarf Fortress and the human fleet appeared incredibly small in comparison to it.

Under the influence of the unified field, it rushed swiftly toward the tiny white dwarf fortress!

This is not over yet!

The next moment, another fireball appeared out of thin air and rushed forward at an even faster speed!

In just a few seconds, the two enormous fireballs collided!

The star's core reaction catalytic device then began operation.

A dazzling light instantly appeared at the edge of the Andromeda Galaxy!

"【ten】!!!"

"Do it!!"

Another intense fluctuation in spacetime occurred.

A massive, dark gray planet, much smaller than a star, suddenly appeared between the human fleet and the two stars.

Although human warships are now very large, they are clearly no match for ice giants.

With zero adjustments, the Imperial Fortress stood firmly in front of the human fleet!

The Gemini Explosion has officially begun!

Two stars, extremely close together, rotated towards each other and flew rapidly toward the white dwarf fortress ahead!

A colossal bridge of molten plasma appeared between the two stars, like a dazzling ribbon, breathtakingly beautiful!

Spacetime is in violent turbulence!

boom!!!

A supernova explosion has occurred!

This brief, intense flash illuminated the entire Andromeda Galaxy!

What followed was an unparalleled gamma-ray burst!
