Cataclysmic Era: I can unlock the tech tree

The once smooth surface of the imperial fortress quietly cracked open, revealing a cannon muzzle of terrifying size.

hum...

A silent tremor emanated from inside the fortress.

next second.

A deep black spatial rift, wider than the Earth, flew straight toward the White Dwarf Fortress!

That can no longer be called a spatial rift; it's practically a giant canyon formed by spatial collapse!

Compared to this, the spatial rifts created by human civilization are like the difference between a caterpillar and an anaconda!

The two are not even in the same league!

The moment it appeared, the speed of this spatial rift reached 10000c!

But this is not over yet!

The tremors inside the imperial fortress did not cease.

Time passed slowly, and a strange dark light appeared at the muzzle of the cannon.

Swish!

A flash of light followed the spatial rift, and together they rushed toward the White Dwarf Fortress!

……

The White Dwarf Fortress of the Cleaners civilization had clearly discovered these two unexpected and ridiculously powerful attacks.

The blue-white light on its surface flickered more and more intensely, as if it were brewing something big.

Its internal situation was in complete chaos.

"Damn it! We've been scammed!"

Having just escaped the supernova explosion, [9436] roared, "They're not a Level 6 civilization!"

"Level 7! They are a Level 7 civilization!!"

"Damn that cunning Enroget civilization!!"

The White Dwarf Fortress's mobility was significantly affected by the aftershocks of the supernova explosion.

Even though it had taken evasive action, the plus-sized spatial rift still slammed into its side!

Just like a cleaver cutting tofu, the deep black spatial rift easily pierced through a corner of the white dwarf fortress!

A piece of dense neutron armor detached directly from the ship's hull and fell into interstellar space.

Without the constraint of the strong interaction, these neutrons escaped and rapidly decayed into a dense cloud of hydrogen and helium.

Immediately following was that eerie attack emitting a dark light!

"I'll f*** you!"

Seeing the image on the light screen, [9436] turned deathly pale and cursed, "Dark Matter Cannon!"

"Damn it, the Enrogett civilization even has dark matter cannons!"

"Go to hell with 9527, you're telling me this is just a level six civilization?!"

"Dimensional Ascension! Forced Dimensional Ascension!!" Ignoring all the system warnings, it manually activated the fortress's dimensional ascension function!

From the perspective of human civilization and [Ten], the White Dwarf Fortress at this moment seems to have given up on evasion and is simply staying quietly in place.

However, the frequency of its blue-white light flashing on its surface has increased again!

The dark light finally arrived.

However, it did not hit the White Dwarf Fortress, but instead spread out automatically in the vicinity of the White Dwarf Fortress.

Just as Lü Yongchang and the others were puzzled, a flash of light far more intense than a supernova explosion appeared in the area where the dark light had dissipated!

boom!

This seemingly random but powerful explosion completely engulfed the white dwarf fortress that shimmered with blue and white light!

……

Inside the Earth, all was quiet.

Lu Yongchang looked at the image in the holographic projection and swallowed hard.

He vaguely remembered that in the description of [Ten], the Imperial Fortress seemed to be an iron shell that was difficult to move.

Watching the powerful explosion flashes in the projection, he understood.

Being immobile and having powerful firepower are not mutually exclusive!

Luckily, I followed my heart back then, otherwise...

Human civilization would probably have died eight hundred times over by now!

"What...what kind of weapon is this?"

The energy that human civilization replenished to the imperial fortress was far less than the energy of this explosion!

The two are not even in the same league!

The law of conservation of energy cannot possibly be wrong, so... there must be something invisible that has been converted into energy.

"Dark matter..."

A sudden inspiration struck Lü Yongchang, and he murmured to himself.

Just as he had previously guessed, the key to entering a Level 7 civilization does indeed lie in the mystery of dark matter!

Time slowly passed, and the flashes in the picture gradually dimmed.

"Did it...work?"

Zhao Zijie's anxious voice came from the side.

Lu Yongchang also temporarily put aside the inspiration in his mind, held his breath, and looked at the holographic projection.

The flash finally subsided, and the white dwarf fortress at the epicenter of the explosion was revealed once again.

Inside the command center, there was an eerie silence.

The white dwarf fortress in the picture hovers silently in space, and apart from the corner that was previously cut off by the spatial rift, its surface shows no signs of damage.

"How is this possible?!"

Lü Yongchang gasped in shock.

The power of this explosion even surpassed that of a supernova!

The enemy doesn't even have a four-dimensional shield for protection, how could they possibly escape unscathed from this explosion?!

"Attack! Keep attacking!!"

hum...

Another spatial rift shot out from the cannon muzzle, hurtling towards the motionless white dwarf fortress.

Unlike before, this time, the White Dwarf Fortress made no attempt to evade.

The spatial rift successfully "hit" the hull of the White Dwarf Fortress and passed through it.

But... it didn't cause any harm.

It seems that the real white dwarf fortress in front of them does not exist in this star field; what they see is just an illusory projection!

Such a miraculous scene, combined with the previous four-dimensional shield technology, immediately gave rise to an astonishing guess in Lü Yongchang's mind.

"Four...four-dimensionalization?"

His pupils trembled slightly as he murmured softly.

Verifying this hypothesis is quite simple.

Under Lü Yongchang's orders, the People's Alliance fleet launched another attack.

really.

Whether it's warp missiles or various energy beams, they can only pass through this projection layer and cannot cause any substantial damage to it!

The moment their suspicions were confirmed, despair appeared on the faces of Lü Yongchang and the other commanders.

How can we fight like this?

A single four-dimensional shield is troublesome enough!

Now, the entire White Dwarf Fortress has become a four-dimensional object!

Should we continue using Gemini Explosion?

Do not make jokes.

Dark matter attacks launched by the Imperial Fortress could not affect the White Dwarf Fortress in this state, let alone the Gemini explosion!

……

Inside the White Dwarf Fortress.

[9436] The pale skin gradually returned to its original light blue color.

It was panting heavily when it raised its hand and slammed it hard on the light screen in front of it.

"Damn it! Damn the Enroget civilization!"

"Launch the four-dimensional stun grenade!"

"I'll make these insects pay!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a small spacetime distortion point appeared beside the White Dwarf Fortress.

A spherical shell emerged from it and shot straight toward the human fleet without any pause!

When it reached the front of the human fleet, it exploded with a loud bang.

There was no flash, and no explosion.

The warp drive missiles responsible for interception seemed to have been attacked by something invisible, and suddenly turned into countless tiny, invisible "powders".

From near to far.

Any three-dimensional object that is swept by this invisible shockwave will turn into a pile of loose "atomic soup"!
