Cataclysmic Era: I can unlock the tech tree

Missiles hurtling toward the front lines left countless ripples in the ocean of time and space.

Under the saturation bombardment of a large number of high-powered weapons, this spacetime fluctuation appeared utterly pale and powerless.

that's it.

The missile, launched from the rear of the human fleet, flew unimpeded, plunging straight into the flames of the explosion.

Under Zero's remote control, it skillfully evaded the aftershocks of various explosions, constantly approaching the four-dimensional creature ahead.

Watching the incredibly smooth trajectory of the bullet in the holographic projection, everyone in the command center felt their hearts leap into their throats.

Van Gogh.

This is a weapon created using the most advanced technology that human civilization has ever developed.

In some ways, its significance is just as great as that of dimensional advancement technology.

【drop! 】

Van Gogh has successfully reached the target area.

The low-dimensional confinement device has been successfully shut down.

[The two-dimensional fragment has been successfully released.]

[Dimensional Reduction Attack, Initiated!]

A series of brief messages appeared sequentially on the holographic projection in the command center.

The moment the last line of information appeared, time seemed to be stopped in the command center.

……

Just like the attack methods of [Painting] and [Ants].

Van Gogh's attack method was to carry out a dimensional reduction attack on anything around him, including space.

Two dimensions are not the most stable dimension.

Theoretically speaking, if a two-dimensional fragment is exposed in three-dimensional space, there will only be one consequence—that is, the two-dimensional fragment will be forced to upgrade to a higher dimension.

Therefore, the dimensional reduction attacks launched by low-dimensional organisms have always been a method that Lü Yongchang and the Chinese Academy of Sciences have found difficult to understand.

Thanks to [Silk] and [Ant].

Of course, I also want to thank [the artist].

During the research process, Lü Yongchang repeatedly expressed this sentiment.

The selfless dedication of these three low-dimensional beings has greatly shortened the path of human civilization's exploration of low-dimensional technology.

Most of the research on the pastoral school is based on its core principles.

It is no exaggeration to say that the core of the pastoral school is the crystallization of the wisdom of the universe.

All the hard work that the Trojan civilization had put into its crisis was laid bare before Lü Yongchang's eyes.

Through his research on the "core," Lü Yongchang discovered the secret of dimensional reduction attacks.

The assimilation effect between dimensions is mutual.

However, the strength of assimilation is determined by the stability of the dimension itself.

Three-dimensional stability is the strongest, and its assimilation effect is also the strongest. However, this does not mean that two-dimensional cannot assimilate three-dimensional, nor does it mean that its stability cannot be changed by external forces.

When launching a dimensional reduction attack, the low-dimensional object from the low-dimensional organism is not a consumable, but rather an entity similar to a crystal nucleus in the crystallization process.

For example, when two-dimensional fragments reduce the dimensionality of a target object, the two-dimensional fragments themselves are not destroyed.

On the contrary, the entire dimensionality reduction process unfolds gradually around two-dimensional fragments.

This is where a problem arises.

To ensure the continuation of the dimensionality reduction process, it is essential to safeguard the crystal nucleus, or the two-dimensional fragment.

A large amount of energy is a necessary condition.

By injecting a large amount of energy into two-dimensional fragments through a special device, their stability can be maintained or even enhanced, thereby assimilating the surrounding three-dimensional objects.

This is the true secret of dimensional reduction!

Similarly, higher-dimensional beings could perform similar operations on three-dimensional objects, but there is no need for them to.

The essence of Van Gogh is actually a copy of the core of the pastoral style.

It can inject a large amount of energy into the two-dimensional fragments, thereby launching a dimensional reduction attack on the surrounding objects.

This is also why Lü Yongchang chose a missile as its carrier – only a missile can carry a zero-point furnace and provide it with sufficient starting energy.

……

The main battlefield.

The missile's nose slowly split open, revealing the low-dimensional confinement device inside.

Under precise remote control, the low-dimensional confinement device was successfully shut down, and the dark matter field that blocked the assimilation process quickly dissipated.

The two-dimensional fragment placed inside successfully made contact with the surrounding three-dimensional space.

A strong assimilation process has occurred!

Theoretically, this tiny two-dimensional fragment should rapidly ascend in dimension, transforming into countless fundamental particles.

But thanks to Van Gogh's influence, it remains firmly exposed in three-dimensional space.

Click!

The first two-dimensional space has appeared!

Within it was a wisp of flame from an explosion!

It blooms quietly in two-dimensional space.

The flattened area of ​​the flames has become much larger, and every detail is clearly presented in a three-dimensional view.

This two-dimensional space has completely sounded the clarion call for dimensional reduction!

Click, click, click!

Centered on a two-dimensional fragment, everything around Van Gogh was drawn onto a single sheet of paper!

The drawing paper quickly unfolded and stretched rapidly toward the distant four-dimensional beings.

The magnificent scene was captured by the camera and presented to Lü Yongchang and the other academicians.

This is a distorted painting.

Among them are dark starry skies, brightly colored firelight, and a large number of twisted parts...

Like Van Gogh,

Van Gogh successfully painted a distorted, colossal starry night!

……

The two-dimensional space spread rapidly, and finally, they successfully made contact with the four-dimensional being!

A violent energy shockwave exploded out!

The four-dimensional beings with cores are undoubtedly relying on the power of their cores to resist the dimensional reduction effect from the outside world.

Van Gogh, on the other hand, continuously infuses pure zero-point energy into two-dimensional fragments, attempting to incorporate them into his own paintings.

The battlefield has moved to another area.

That's a field where energy is put to the test.

Clearly, even if a four-dimensional being suffers severe damage, it is still far beyond what Van Gogh, powered by a single missile, can match.

Just as the four-dimensional being was about to break free from the two-dimensional scroll surrounding its body, Lü Yongchang's order arrived belatedly!

"Chi You, take note! Immediately establish contact with Van Gogh and provide him with energy!"

hum!

The moment the order was given, the ten [Chi You] planetary fortresses quickly exited their dimensional ascension state and jumped to the vicinity of [Van Gogh].

The universal energy transmission channel was ejected from the side of the planetary fortress and successfully connected to the energy input port of [Van Gogh].

The zero-point vacuum energy surged forth, flowing along the energy pathway towards [Van Gogh]!

One, two...

The moment all eight energy input ports beside Van Gogh were successfully connected, the situation finally turned around!

The four-dimensional body of the four-dimensional being finally began to descend in dimensionality at this moment!

Numerous and massive three-dimensional structures appeared continuously in this starry sky, and then quickly fell into the painting below!

This resulted in an unprecedented burst of energy!

The energy far exceeded that of a supernova explosion, directly impacting the warships of human civilization!

P.S.: Thanks to the little jellyfish on Mars for the amazing certification *5!

That's awesome!

Bad news: Only one chapter tonight, I'm having serious writer's block.

Good news: I got perfect attendance!

Bad news: It's ending next month, so I definitely won't get full attendance next month.

Better news: I will write and publish as much as I want from now on, and if I'm in good form, I might write more than two chapters a day, but the publication time may not be so regular.
