Age of Cataclysm: I can light up the technology tree

The Grays flagship.

When the faint blue laser pierced the defense of the ellipsoid detector, an alarm sounded inside the flagship.

"alarm!"

"Detector No. 371163 is under unknown attack!"

"The attack type is high-energy laser beam!"

The sirens did not cause any panic.

Instead, every Gray in the command center became abnormal.

excited!

"Found it!"

The gloomy look on the Gray technician's face suddenly brightened!

It pointed to the big screen in front and shouted in a slightly sharp voice: "Command! Command! We have discovered the opponent's fleet!"

"The signal is lost."

Electronic audio coverage without any fluctuations.

The conductor sitting at the head took a deep breath and stood up from his seat.

"How many detectors are there in this area?"

The technician quickly stretched out his fingers and tapped a few times on the personal terminal in front of him.

"Report, there are currently 17 detectors left."

The skin on the conductor's face wrinkled slightly, he shook his head slowly and said, "Too little."

"Let these 17 detectors go over to confirm the situation first."

"First of all, we have to confirm that this is the opponent's fleet and not a small decoy ship!"

"Secondly..."

"Mobilize all detectors in the nearby area!"

"Carry out a thorough investigation for me!"

"I'm going to make sure this little bug has nowhere to hide!"

…

Human fleet.

Seeing the 17 bright spots in the star map rushing towards the fleet, the atmosphere in the command center suddenly became solemn.

Everyone knows what happens next.

War is about to break out!

Fleet periphery.

The tail of another [Golden Crow] battleship lit up with the light of the Hall thruster and left the original formation.

Although the ellipsoid detector just now seemed vulnerable to Type II laser weapons.

But for the sake of safety, Zhao Zijie still ordered an additional [Golden Crow] battleship to be dispatched for escort.

After all, no one knows what cards higher-level civilizations have in their hands.

For example, no one knows that a mere second-level civilization actually possesses the means of attack of a seventh-level civilization!

Just as Zhao Zijie was thinking wildly, the second detector quietly approached.

This time, the [Golden Crow] battleship did not use Type II laser weapons.

Instead, a Type II coil gun was used.

Compared with the Type II coil gun, it is larger and has a faster muzzle speed.

The micronuclear bombs loaded inside the projectiles were also replaced with small plasma bombs.

There is no doubt that the lethality of Type II coil gun is much higher than that of Type I coil gun.

As the second detector got closer and closer, the captain of the [Golden Crow] battleship issued an order.

"fire!!"

Flashes of fire flashed across the muzzles of the battleship's secondary guns.

As if it found itself locked, the probe quickly changed its course and launched evasive maneuvers.

However, it is obvious that this method does not work well for humans.

"Aim assist is on."

Zero's voice sounded inside the [Golden Crow] battleship.

At the same time, dozens of white dotted lines appeared in the holographic projection inside the battleship.

The secondary gun barrel also began to swing slightly at this time.

Every time the angle is adjusted, dozens to hundreds of shells are shot out of the barrel!

Tens of seconds later.

A flash of plasma bomb explosion appeared in the dark depths of space.

This means that a shell successfully hit the small detector.

Where there is one there are two.

The second way, the third way...

The detector was instantly submerged in a series of explosions of fire.

The fire gradually dissipated.

The dilapidated detector had turned into a piece of space junk, floating quietly in the void.

Seeing this, the captain of the [Golden Crow] battleship nodded with satisfaction and turned his attention to the next batch of detectors.

"Captain No. 746!"

Zhao Zijie's faint voice suddenly came from the communication channel: "Do you remember what I just said?"

"Professor Lu needs an advanced detector that is as complete as possible. Are you taking this as fart?!"

"Do you know how wasteful it is to fire so many shells!"

Captain No. 746's expression froze: "..."

"I, I know."

"Be sure to pay attention next time."

…

The Grays flagship.

The conductor looked at the scene in front of him with an ugly expression.

Another detector was lost.

The loss of the detector did not bother it.

They have many low-quality detectors in their fleet.

What makes it feel embarrassed is that the destruction of this detector did not bring any valuable intelligence to civilization.

"Turn off the active detection device!"

"Let these detectors stay away from each other first, circle a few times and then find an opportunity to get closer!"

…

At the moment this detector was destroyed, the remaining 16 detectors suddenly turned off their active detection devices.

They disappeared from the passive detection equipment of the human fleet.

Perhaps, for other civilizations, this is extremely fatal.

Trying to find a few pixel-sized detectors in the vast background of the universe is as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack.

But for human civilization, especially for Zero, this difficulty is not too high.

Since these detectors were observed by the optical telescope, Zero has been controlling the optical telescope array in the fleet to track and observe these detectors.

Therefore, these detectors moved away from the fleet and began to circle, which was clearly visible to Lv Yongchang and others!

Lv Yongchang looked at the star map in front of him with a strange look.

"The other side is..."

"Want to confuse us?"

Fang Xu was also confused: "It doesn't make sense... What's the point of circling?"

Tao Yuda's voice came from a distance: "Professor, is there a possibility that the other side thinks that we can't see them after turning off the active radar?"

Lv Yongchang: "..."

Fang Xu: "..."

"Hiss..." Lv Yongchang scratched his head in surprise, "Not really?"

"It's a level 3 or 4 civilization after all. Can't their optical telescopes do this?"

Tao Yuda, who was far away, heard this and his face froze.

"Professor, what I mean is, is it possible that the problem lies with Zero?"

Lv Yongchang: "..."

[Drawing] The words at that time appeared in his mind again.

Is it really... that there is something wrong with Zero?

Lu Yongchang looked a little strange, and waved his hand to change the subject: "Don't worry about it for now, wait until these detectors get close, and shoot them all down for me."

"Remember to try to leave me one intact one."
