Cataclysmic Era: I can unlock the tech tree

Cleaners' Civilization Headquarters.

[Su] stared in shock at the scene displayed on the light screen.

After a long while, it finally came to its senses, a trace of lingering fear appearing in its eyes: "[Membrane]...Is this the power of the [Membrane]?"

The advantages gained by the Cleaners civilization in past wars seem insignificant now.

The combined fleet of the Pastoral Faction and the Cleaners suffered only minor aftershocks from the attack, but even so, the Cleaners lost tens of millions of conventional warships, and the Pastoral Faction lost the lives of hundreds of thousands of dimensional creatures.

The losses were heavy, but compared to human civilization and the neutral faction, they seem insignificant.

As the scales of war were forcefully tipped in his favor, Su felt no joy, but rather endless fear and worry.

If it were the fleet of the Cleaners civilization, could it withstand the five-dimensional attack launched by the [membrane]?

The answer is obviously no.

It took a deep breath, steadied itself, and looked at the light screen on the other side.

The repair work has reached the minimum required to activate the Ring Cosmic Accelerator, which, theoretically, is sufficient to produce a powerful enough particle collision phenomenon.

Currently, the [membrane] is focusing its energy on human civilization and the neutral faction.

Without a doubt, this is the best opportunity for experimentation!

but!

To attempt to conduct a cosmic particle acceleration experiment with the bare minimum of accelerators was an extremely risky decision—a matter that was extremely dependent on luck.

Su was initially hesitant, since the success rate of the Ring Cosmic Particle Acceleration Experiment would be greatly increased if they waited a little longer.

However, the terrifying strength that [Membrane] displayed on the battlefield completely dispelled the last bit of hesitation in [Su]'s heart.

If not now, when?

Are we supposed to wait until the "membrane" turns its spearhead against the cleaners of civilization?!

"Activate the Cosmic Particle Accelerator immediately!"

[Su] raised his tentacles on both sides of his body with a somewhat fanatical tone and loudly issued this command that was destined to be recorded in the history of the Cleaners' civilization!

Countless years of hard work and the waiting of countless generations have finally come to fruition at this moment!

"In the name of [Solemnity], we hereby announce the commencement of the first cosmic particle acceleration experiment!"

……

Laniakea Supercluster.

A little-known, medium-sized galaxy, with a central black hole region.

The Ring Cosmic Particle Acceleration Node has been fully deployed. The spherical megastructure that was originally comparable to a blue giant star has now become a slightly rounded strip-shaped channel structure.

This is the complete ring-universe particle acceleration node.

The middle section of the channel is the particle acceleration zone.

Its primary energy source is the Zero Point Furnace and the central black hole of the nearby galaxy.

This enormous energy is used partly to accelerate the fundamental particles within it, and partly to power the massive wormhole devices at both ends of the channel.

No matter how much energy is applied to accelerate the particle, its speed can only approach the speed of light.

Such a speed is clearly insufficient for the vast universe—by the time these particles complete a full orbit around their predetermined path, the Cleaner civilization would likely have already perished.

Therefore, wormholes have become an essential technology.

The basic principle of the Cosmic Particle Acceleration Project is to use massive wormholes to allow particles to traverse vast distances between galaxies as quickly and with minimal loss as possible to reach the next acceleration node.

Each massive galaxy became a segment of acceleration nodes in this accelerator.

After being accelerated countless times, the particles will eventually return to the Laniakea Supercluster, carrying terrifying energy, and complete their final collision!

……

Pure energy from the black hole and vacuum flows into the particle acceleration region along the energy pathway.

hum...

A dazzling light flashed by, and a large number of particles were accelerated to near the speed of light, rushing out in two opposite directions!

Two enormous wormholes had already opened in front of them!

As these particles rushed into the wormhole, the enormous wormhole slowly dissipated, and the dazzling light gradually dimmed.

Before long, these particles will reach the next target galaxy with the help of the supermassive wormhole, where they will undergo a second acceleration.

The above steps will be repeated continuously.

The third time, the fourth time... until the energy carried by the particle reaches the standard!

The entire process will take about a hundred years!

It is foreseeable that this century will be the most difficult time for those who are cleaning up!

An encrypted wide-area tachyon broadcast is rapidly propagating through the universe.

The Cosmic Particle Acceleration Experiment has officially begun.

[We will spare no effort to ensure the stable operation of the Ring Cosmic Particle Accelerator!]

【To all sanitation workers, the time has come to prove yourselves!】

Tachyon broadcasts swept across the universe.

After a brief silence, an endless fleet of Sweepers roared out from the microcosm and swarmed toward the nearest particle acceleration node!

At this moment, the number of fleets displayed by the Cleaners civilization is at least ten times that of the Boötes Void Battle!

A fleet worth tens of billions!

The Cleaner Civilization, which has been quietly developing for billions of years, has finally revealed its trump card at this moment!

……

Outside the cosmic bubble, there is a five-dimensional space.

The membrane is releasing wave after wave of five-dimensional spatial oscillations toward the target area, and a warning message suddenly comes from the bottom region of the cosmic bubble.

The moment He saw the message, He was enraged.

The Cleaners civilization has actually activated the ring-universe particle accelerator ahead of schedule!

The enormous vacuum zero-point energy extracted by these particle accelerators will significantly shorten the time it takes for the universe to begin collapsing!

Meanwhile, since the [membrane] has temporarily shelved the annihilation plan, the self-repairing effect of the hyperspace membrane will continuously repair the hyperspace membrane that is about to be "pierced"!

With this shift in power, let alone the outcome of the war, His annihilation plan, which He had been waiting for for countless billions of years, would likely go bankrupt!

[The cunning cleaners of civilization!]

He let out a roar and, without hesitation, abandoned the Boötes void in front of him, following the beautiful arc of the cosmic bubble towards the hyperspace membrane at the bottom of the bubble.

He must now return to the vicinity of the hyperspace membrane and complete his annihilation plan as soon as possible!

As for the sanitation workers' civility...

[Attention all members of the rural faction!]

[Indiscriminate attack on sanitation workers' civility!]

Stop their acceleration plan at all costs!

As the wide-area tachyon broadcast rapidly spread across the cosmic bubble, the dimensional beings that had just evacuated the Shapley Supercluster turned their attack targets and launched an attack on the surrounding Sweeper fleet!

Moreover, a large number of pastoral-style dimensional beings appeared in the empty areas between galaxies, rushing towards the central black hole region of a nearby galaxy.

The Cleaners concealed their combat power, and so did the Pastoral Faction!

The battlefield situation has once again descended into utter chaos!

P.S.: Thank you to Emperor Shennong for the amazing certification!

Thank you so much for the amazing certification from Guai O(∩_∩)O!

Thank you so much!

In addition, the plot has reached its final stage.

I hereby announce that the final bonus chapter event for this book begins now.

Seeking free small gifts to support this cause!

This is the third update to show my sincerity; there will be another update tomorrow morning!
