Cataclysmic Era: I can unlock the tech tree

Shapley Supercluster.

Human warships and various neutral warships intertwined, forming long fleets that stretched across the universe, led by warships from human civilization.

The fleet, powered by its warp drives, is heading toward the designated star system in an attempt to intercept reinforcements sent by the Sweepers.

Suddenly, a strong tachyon signal came from the direction of the Boötes Void, sweeping rapidly across the massive fleet composed of different advanced civilizations.

The moment the tachyon wave swept across, all the warships broke free from the control of their crews and spontaneously exited their warp state.

next moment.

Under Zero's control, the human fleet began to leap into the fourth dimension, and the once clearly visible warships quickly turned into indescribable shadows.

At the same time, the strong fluctuations in the dark matter stability field gradually spread outwards.

This sudden turn of events threw the Combined Fleet into chaos.

A series of tachyon messages, filled with skepticism, were transmitted to the nearby human fleet.

Not to mention the fleets on the main battlefield, even the high-ranking members of the neutral faction sent countless messages to human civilization.

The messages were all the same, asking about the purpose of human civilization in doing so and expressing their anger at being betrayed.

There's no way around it; only human civilization can currently achieve this kind of method of forcibly seizing control of a warship in an instant.

Without any additional investigation, the neutral faction can easily identify the "culprit".

……

The neutral faction's doubts and anger did not last long.

During the time it took for human warships to upgrade their dimensions and activate the dark matter stabilization field, the fluctuations in the surrounding spacetime curvature had become extremely noticeable—at least, every level eight civilization could easily perceive the problem.

The previously noisy tachyon communication frequency band also began to quiet down at this time.

Several tens of seconds later.

Disaster struck!

A wave, similar to a four-dimensional shock bomb but even more difficult to detect, suddenly appeared in the universe.

But it is definitely not a four-dimensional stun grenade!

Its coverage area far exceeds that of a four-dimensional stun grenade!

This fluctuation encompassed the entire Boötes Void and most of the Shapley Supercluster!

Neither the Cleaners civilization nor human civilization could have expanded the scale of the four-dimensional stun grenade to such an extent!

This subtle fluctuation traveled faster than the speed of light, like a light feather, gently brushing past the combined fleet of the neutral faction and human civilization, and also sweeping over the combined fleet of the Cleaners and the Pastoral Faction who had not yet completely withdrawn.

Wow!

The disaster first struck the neutral fleet.

Countless warships instantly disintegrated, turning into fine wisps of atomic mist that dispersed into the surrounding empty universe!

Immediately following were a small number of low-dimensional creatures that had not yet evacuated.

After struggling briefly, these lower-dimensional creatures also succumbed to death.

Following closely behind were the conventional warships of both human and Cleaners civilizations.

Thanks to the stable field of dark matter and its four-dimensional structure, these conventional warships managed to withstand the subtle fluctuations for quite some time, but they still could not escape the fate of turning into ashes!

In just a few minutes, the once-fierce battlefield instantly cooled down—hundreds of billions of warships vanished, enough to cool the war fever of any civilization!

Indiscriminate attack!

A truly indiscriminate attack!

……

Boötes is empty.

The moment that subtle fluctuation appeared, an unprecedentedly loud alarm sounded inside the Earth!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

"Five-dimensional attack!"

Lu Yongchang stared wide-eyed at the flashing observation data on the holographic projection, his voice laced with rage as he muttered, "To hell with these five-dimensional beings!"

In a mere instant, human civilization lost almost 90% of its conventional warships. Only those conventional warships that were close to the secondary flagship and planetary fortress were able to escape this calamity!

This is just the battle situation in the Shapley Supercluster!

Unlike the Shapley Supercluster, the Boötes Void, as the base of human civilization, has received special attention from the [brane]!

All conventional warships were destroyed!

The secondary flagship suffered heavy losses, and the planetary fortress suffered more than half of its casualties!

"Beep! Beep! Beep!"

The alarm blared louder and louder.

"The zero-point furnace has entered an overload state, and the dark matter stable field has entered an overload state."

"Current dimensional stability: 96.1%... Correction: Current dimensional stability: 95.3%..."

"correct……"

Zero's electronic synthesized voice rang in everyone's ears like a death knell!

"Professor!" Zhao Zijie's urgent shout came from the side.

He couldn't afford to be complacent!

Once the dimensional stability falls below the threshold, the fate of the Earth will likely be no different from that of conventional warships, not to mention those secondary flagships and planetary fortresses that were already on the verge of collapse.

By that time...

Human civilization would probably have been completely wiped out by then, let alone the question of who would win or lose a war.

"quick!"

"All surviving warships in the Boötes Void, activate your five-dimensional warp engines and warp towards the Zero Point Energy Well!"

"Shapley Supercluster Survivor Warship, use fifth-dimensional jump to quickly approach the planetary fortress and secondary flagship!"

Lü Yongchang gave the order in a hurried tone!

This is probably the best way to preserve our combat strength!

Thankfully, human civilization has mastered fifth-dimensional travel, otherwise...

This is probably a real dead end!

……

Intense spacetime fluctuations reverberated between the two star systems. Under Zero's precise control, a large number of human warships rushed toward the nearby "sanctuary".

The constant bombardment of the cosmic bubble by five-dimensional spatial fluctuations caused the resilient cosmic bubble to fluctuate violently—a catastrophe for the three-dimensional beings living on the cosmic bubble.

Zero-point energy well area.

The powerful dark matter stabilizing field continuously smoothed out the violent tremors coming from the fifth direction, protecting the surrounding warships and factories.

As time went on, this fluctuation gradually intensified, and the output power of the Zero Point Energy Well gradually soared to its limit!

"Damn it..."

Lu Yongchang stared grimly at the various parameters flashing alarms on the projector.

He is now completely certain.

Those idyllic five-dimensional beings, if not a true level nine civilization, are probably not much different from a true level nine civilization!

Faced with such a huge gap, even he could only pray silently in his heart.

Cleaners should be civilized; we can't waste such a good opportunity!

If we don't activate the Ring Cosmic Accelerator now, when will we?!

Perhaps it heard Lü Yongchang's prayer, because the five-dimensional spatial fluctuations that had been bombarding the hollow region of Boötes suddenly dissipated!

The previously abnormal spacetime curvature gradually returned to calm!

Lu Yongchang, still shaken, stared at the remaining 51.9% of dimensional stability and let out a long sigh of relief.

seem……

Did the prayer work?
