Cataclysmic Era: I can unlock the tech tree

In an inconspicuous corner of the First Fleet of the Human Alliance.

Inside the battleship, 【Golden Crow】.

Jiang Qun looked at the dense red dots on the holographic star map and swallowed hard.

The ship was very quiet; apart from the slight sounds of the instruments operating, almost all that could be heard was his and his two teammates' breathing.

He could even clearly hear his own rapid heartbeat!

After the Eugene civilization was almost completely destroyed, the human army had to start operating conventional warships again.

Fortunately, thanks to Zero's powerful computing capabilities, each conventional warship only requires three to four soldiers.

The role of these three to four soldiers, in addition to taking full control of the warship when computing power is insufficient, is to perform a certain degree of micro-management of the warship based on the real-time situation on the battlefield.

Admittedly, this would significantly exacerbate the losses of human civilization in war.

But this is unavoidable.

Conventional warships are not shipborne drones, so they cannot be treated as expendable items.

A bead of sweat slowly slid down Jiang Qun's forehead and dripped into his eye, causing him a slight stinging sensation.

But he still stared wide-eyed, intently at the holographic star map in front of him.

The red dot on the star map flickered slightly, seemingly reminding him that war was imminent!

Suddenly, a clear voice came from the loudspeaker, breaking the silence inside the ship.

"Everyone, I am Lü Yongchang."

Jiang Qun's eyes widened suddenly, and he murmured in a low voice, "Chief Lü?"

Hearing that familiar voice, a thought that both excited and worried him arose in his heart!

"Ever since human civilization was forced to flee Earth, we have forged an indelible hatred with the Cleaners and the Pastoralists."

"As human civilization has progressed to this point, countless compatriots have sacrificed their lives."

"Now, the Cleaners and the Pastoralists are pressing in, attempting to threaten human civilization into opening its central computer port."

Is that even possible?

Lu Yongchang's voice suddenly rose a notch!

"Absolutely impossible!"

"From Type I civilization to Type VIII civilization, human civilization has never yielded!!"

"Human civilization will never yield!!!"

"This battle will be the last battle of human civilization."

"This battle will definitively determine the future of human civilization!"

"Even if it means fighting to the last starship!"

"Even if our enemies are the two most powerful factions in the universe!"

"Victory will ultimately belong to humanity!"

"Forward! Forward!! Forward!!!"

"Advance at all costs!!!"

Suddenly, the ship's communication channels fell into dead silence, with only faint echoes reverberating within the cabin.

Jiang Qun's eyes were slightly red, and he murmured excitedly, "Forward...forward..."

A moment later, Lü Yongchang's impassioned voice rang out again.

"Pass on the order!"

"All fleets, warp in!!"

The moment the words fell.

hum!

A strong spatial fluctuation came from not far away!

The human flagship has vanished from the human fleet!

The Earth's initiative to initiate a four-dimensional leap directly stimulated all the soldiers of the Human Alliance fleet!

"Leap!!!"

Jiang Qun stared at the densely packed red dots on the star map and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Firepower coverage!!"

……

There were no signs whatsoever.

Let alone the cleaners and the pastoralists, even the neutral faction near the human war zone never expected such a situation to occur!

Faced with the massive fleets of the Cleaners and the Pastoral Faction, the human fleet surprisingly launched the first attack!

100,000! 1 million! 10 million!

Tens of millions of warships burst forth from the already open microcosm, appearing out of thin air in the universe, and then charged toward their target using four-dimensional jumps and wormhole travel!

Ten years of honing a sword!

More than a decade of peaceful development has brought about a fleet of tens of millions of people to human civilization!

The powerful spacetime fluctuations created by the four-dimensional jump reverberated near the human war zone, making this area the most dazzling presence within the Boötes Void!

Do not!

Not just human war zones!

A piercing alarm sounded inside the Earth, and the signal icon that appeared on the projection screen stunned everyone!

Not far away, within the vast neutral faction's war zone, powerful spatial fluctuations also appeared!

At the same time, a powerful wide-area tachyon broadcast came from the neutral faction's battle zone.

[The Cleaner! The Country Buff!]

Don't forget, human civilization is a member of the neutral faction!

Since you insist on starting a war, then... let's fight!

"this……"

Lu Yongchang stared at the holographic projection in front of him, his eyes filled with disbelief: "The neutral faction... how could they be involved in this war?"

Moreover, they participated in the war as allies of human civilization!

This is not normal!

Accompanied by intense spacetime fluctuations, a massive starship composed of several cylinders slowly appeared beside the Earth.

"The flagship of the Tenth Empire..."

Lu Yongchang's eyes flickered slightly, and he murmured softly.

Although he didn't know exactly what had happened, he could vaguely guess that the Tenth Empire had probably played a significant role in it.

On behalf of human civilization, I express my gratitude to you and the neutral faction for your support.

After a short wait, a response came.

This is what we should do.

Human civilization is the empire's eternal ally.

The Silicon Alliance will never abandon any of its members.

Looking at the text in the holographic projection, Lü Yongchang took a deep breath.

I'll express my gratitude later; the most pressing matter right now is this massive battle!

It must be said that the entry of the neutral faction directly changed the course of the battle!

Modern human civilization possesses tens of millions of warships.

And the neutral faction...

The neutral faction, known for its sheer number of civilizations, has at least over 10 billion warships participating in the war!

"Attention all units"

"Counter-encircle the combined fleet of the Cleaners and the Pastoralists!"

An order was issued from the flagship Earth, spreading out to starships of different civilizations in the surrounding area.

……

Among the human fleets, there exists an extremely special fleet.

Human civilization consumed a full 50% of its resources to build this fleet!

In other words, the resources used to build this fleet are enough to build another ten million conventional warships!

This fleet consists of ten thousand "Yellow Emperor" planetary fortresses.

After witnessing the immense power of the Cleaner Planet Fortress, Lü Yongchang immediately put the Yellow Emperor on the research agenda of the Academy of Sciences.

Unlike the ordinary Chi You, the Huangdi planetary fortress was built using the Quark Fortress and Black Hole Fortress of the Sweeper civilization as templates!

Under Zero's control, the [Yellow Emperor] Fortress Fleet was like a sharp knife, piercing directly into the combined fleet of the Cleaners and the Pastoral Faction!

Gravity shielding, disarmed!

Planetary fortresses, comparable to quark stars and black holes, roam freely through the universe!

No additional weapons are needed; their own gravity and mass are the most unreasonable weapons!

With the help of the four-dimensional leap engine, the [Yellow Emperor] Fortress Fleet is frantically reaping the conventional combat power of the Pastoral Faction and the Cleaners!

the other side.

The improved human flagship, the Earth, broke through the combined fleet's defenses, surrounded by ten Yellow Emperor planetary fortresses!

boom!!!

Tens of thousands of Van Gogh-style dimensional reduction missiles were fired in all directions!

This attack pattern is based on that large-scale dimensional reduction attack!

Snowflakes appeared around the Earth, and with the energy supplied by the Earth and the Yellow Emperor, these snowflakes connected with each other at an extremely fast speed and then spread outwards!

A magnificent starry sky painting, recreated!

hum...

The four-dimensional space shockwave spread outwards from the Earth as the center!

Two completely different dimensional attacks are reaping lives on the battlefield!

P.S.: Thanks to C&C Gundam Maid for the two expert certifications!

Thank you so much!
