Cataclysmic Era: I can unlock the tech tree

"drop--"

In the tachyon radar, two signal sources, one in front and one behind, have successfully arrived near the human fleet.

Lü Yongchang also subconsciously stood up from his seat!

Swish!

Accompanied by violent spacetime fluctuations, like a whale leaping out of the water, an incredibly vast picture suddenly appeared beside several of the starships!

Faced with two-dimensional beings that have fully stretched out their bodies, the starships of human civilization are like a few small boats next to a giant whale.

The scroll enveloped the starship with lightning speed!

"Zero! Activate the dark matter stabilizing field!!"

Lu Yongchang suddenly issued a command in a loud voice!

He needs to conduct a simple experiment!

hum...

The dark matter stabilizing field, originally intended to stabilize the four-dimensional state of starships in a three-dimensional universe, was rapidly generated...

But next second.

The scroll rapidly expanded, engulfing these starships within it.

The light of dimensional reduction illuminated the dim universe.

Suddenly, an image of a starship appeared on the otherwise blank scroll.

This is different from the original dimensionality reduction process.

Its internal structure was not exposed to the public!

Normally, a two-dimensional object falling would reveal all its details, but this starship, which activated a dark matter stabilization field, did not exhibit this behavior!

This means that this dimensional reduction is not thorough!

"2.5D...?"

Lü Yongchang murmured softly.

The scroll continues to expand in all directions, swallowing up starships that activate dark matter stabilization fields.

An anomaly occurred at this moment!

The starship that was first converted into two dimensions suddenly sent out a spatial rift forward!

This painting, spanning light-years, has come to life!

Black cracks moved rapidly across the scroll, seemingly attacking some target.

"This... under the protection of the dark matter stabilizing field, the starship wasn't completely destroyed?!"

"Yes..."

"The stabilizing field of dark matter can block the assimilation of four-dimensional objects by three-dimensional space, and naturally it can also block the assimilation of three-dimensional objects by two-dimensional space!"

The 2.5-dimensional starship did not last long.

Two-dimensional warfare is a field that human civilization has never touched before.

Therefore, it only created two spatial rifts before suffering a devastating blow—a black crack suddenly appeared in the center of the starship, cutting it in half.

boom!

The starship transformed into a ball of fire, illuminating the dark areas of the painting.

"It seems that the physical rules of two-dimensional and three-dimensional space are universal..."

A glint of light flashed in Lü Yongchang's eyes, and a crazy idea popped into his mind: "What if..."

"With a sufficiently high power field for dark matter and a starship possessing an enormous amount of energy, could it be possible to reverse-dimensionalize two-dimensional life forms?!"

In the painting, the starship wreckage, now deprived of the protection of the dark matter stabilizing field, clearly reveals its internal structure—a large number of twisted and broken parts appear on the painting.

Like a two-dimensional painting with infinite detail, all the scenes inside the starship are clearly displayed.

The residual energy inside the pipe was still surging, and the damaged structural components were slowly drifting away...

Without a doubt, the starship was completely destroyed, and the Eugenes inside sacrificed their lives.

A large amount of observational data was transmitted to the Earth satellite and stored in a zero-classified manner.

the other side.

Similar to the attack methods of two-dimensional creatures, the attack methods of one-dimensional creatures are also based on dimensional reduction.

Countless fine, colorful threads drift slowly through the universe.

Protected by the stable field of dark matter, the war may still be going on, but humans in three dimensions can no longer observe the specific scenes.

It must be said that the combat capabilities of dimensional beings are quite terrifying.

In just a few minutes, the human fleet lost at least one hundred starships!

……

Due to the stable field of dark matter, the two dimensional beings also faced considerable risks when they launched a dimensional reduction attack on the human fleet.

As Lü Yongchang said, with the protection of the stable field of dark matter, human starships can even reverse the dimensional ascension of dimensional beings!

Of course, it's very difficult.

but……

While it's impossible to ascend to a higher dimension, it's still possible to cause some harm to these lower-dimensional beings.

And so, an awkward situation arose.

To attack the human fleet, a dimensional reduction attack on the starships would be necessary.

Upon the reduction in dimensionality, human warships activated a dark matter stabilizing field, attacking dimensional beings from within.

The warships were piloted by Eugenes, who, under the influence of the thought imprint, were not afraid of death at all. Instead, they chased after the two dimensional beings everywhere in an attempt to reduce their dimension.

As for not attacking the human fleet...

Dark matter cannons and spatial rifts followed.

……

A few hours later.

The battlefield gradually shifted from the outer reaches of the galaxy to its interior.

In order to obtain a relatively complete low-dimensional sample and to resolve the battle as quickly as possible, the scale of the war began to escalate—four-dimensional weapons could not be used, and the fleet could only use conventional weapons with higher power.

【Star Pickers】bring here pairs of positive and negative stars—positive stars are everywhere, while negative stars come from the microcosm of human civilization.

then……

It was "thrown" towards the area where the two dimensional beings were located by gravity.

Annihilation Starburst!

The energy generated by the annihilation of two stars is tens or even hundreds of times greater than that of two stars colliding!

This is easy to understand: one is that all mass is converted into energy, and the other is that it triggers a small supernova explosion.

The two are not comparable at all.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

One round, five rounds, ten rounds!

The saturation attack formed by ten rounds of [Annihilation Starburst] directly covered most of the galaxy!

Putting aside the two dimensional beings, the original spiral galaxy has been completely "broken" into several pieces by the power of the [Annihilation Starburst]!

……

As the power of the explosion gradually dissipated, the once relatively resource-rich star field became a vast, radioactive wasteland.

The silk and the ant had long since lost consciousness, silently "floating" in the three-dimensional universe.

Clear signs of dimensional ascension have appeared at the edges of their bodies!

This is a sign that the core is severely damaged!

Dozens of starships, shielded by numerous protective shields, slowly approached. After confirming that the two dimensional beings were unable to resist, they slowly opened their hatches and took them into the specially designed [low-dimensional restraint device].

To ensure safety, a large number of four-dimensional stun grenades were placed next to the two [low-dimensional confinement devices].

Let alone low-dimensional creatures with severely damaged cores, even low-dimensional creatures in perfect condition cannot withstand the attack of a four-dimensional shock bomb at close range!

After the "capture" was successful, these starships quickly entered a faster-than-light warp state and disappeared into the visible universe.

A few hours later.

Another powerful spacetime fluctuation came, and the human fleet opened a wormhole and headed towards the Boötes Void—the only loophole in the pastoral faction's encirclement, and also their only chance of survival.

Where it was, only a shattered and broken galaxy remained.

Perhaps, over time, under the gravitational pull of the central black hole, these galactic remnants could regroup and form a new galaxy.
