Age of Cataclysm: I can light up the technology tree

A long and persistent siren sounded in every starship of the human fleet!

In just ten minutes, everyone got into their own deep-sea cabin.

The human fleet, at this moment, has truly entered a state of war!

…

Two hours later.

It was beyond Lu Yongchang’s expectation.

The starships of the opposing civilization did not launch a direct attack.

Instead, it relied on its own speed and numerical advantages to wrap up the entire human fleet.

Lu Yongchang frowned and looked at the star map in the holographic projection, and asked: 'Zijie, can you break out from one point? ’

Zhao Zijie on the side, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, shook his head slowly, and responded with a brainwave reading device.

‘The opponent’s starship’s maneuverability far exceeds ours. ’

‘I just tried the method of breaking the surface. ’

'They don't fight us at all. As long as we move forward, they retreat. ’

‘In this way, the opponent has been sailing outside our effective range. ’

‘What about the spread-out sprint? ’ Lu Yongchang frowned, ‘According to the active detection information, the opponent does not have many starships left. ’

'no! ’ Zhao Zijie directly rejected Lu Yongchang’s proposal.

‘Too dangerous! ’

‘Currently we are surrounded by the other side. Once the defensive formation is divided, our situation will only get worse! ’

Lu Yongchang thought for a moment and realized that this plan was extremely risky.

He shook his head helplessly: 'They surrounded us from a long distance away. I really don't know what they are planning...'

‘Are you ready to boil the frog in warm water and let us surrender voluntarily? ’

Seeing Lu Yongchang's sigh, Zhao Zijie couldn't help but be stunned.

His breathing quickened a little, and he stretched out his hand to enlarge the holographic projection in front of him: 'Zero, model the arrangement of the opponent's starships! ’

Zero immediately carried out Zhao Zijie's order.

Almost at the same time, models made of bright white light spots appeared in front of him.

A quasi-spherical body with an uneven surface and yet to be formed.

With just one glance, Zhao Zijie's expression changed drastically!

‘Laser array! ’

'They want to burn us to death in a circle with laser arrays! ! ’

Lu Yongchang was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Zhao Zijie meant.

He quickly reached out and moved through the air, and a similar holographic model composed of bright white light spots appeared in front of his eyes.

Rows and rows of light points are staggered, forming an uneven sphere-like sphere.

‘Zero, do the simulation. ’ Lu Yongchang’s face was extremely gloomy.

As soon as the words fell, the interior of the sphere suddenly flashed with its dazzling light beam!

Along with the movement of the opponent's starship, these laser beams also moved!

Lu Yongchang shuddered slightly as he looked at the sphere-like net that turned into a laser meat grinder.

‘Attention all units! ’

‘Prepare giant smoke bombs immediately! ’

The fleet-wide broadcast sent by Zhao Zijie appeared on the holographic projection in front: 'Repeat it again! Prepare giant smoke bombs now! ’

‘The more the better! ’

‘Once you are attacked by a laser weapon, throw it away immediately! ''

Just after the broadcast was sent, a dazzling high-energy laser beam was already shining on the [Earth]!

No, not just Earth!

Almost every [Golden Crow] battleship has been attacked by more or less high-energy laser beams!

The alarm sounds!

Without any pause, Zero quickly activated the emergency plan.

Under the influence of the vector nozzles, all starships began to slowly "spin".

The laser beam swept across the surface of the starship's armor, leaving a long trail.

Even so, several [Golden Crow] battleships that were taken care of by several laser beams at the same time exploded!

There was almost no reaction time. The moment the starship began to "spin", the opponent's starship also began to move regularly.

The long-lasting laser beam suddenly turned into a moving laser fence!

The laser fence moves up and down, left and right, or forward and backward!

The human starships surrounded by the net seemed to have turned into pieces of meat in a meat grinder, being shot back and forth by laser beams!

[Armor damage: 15%]

Bright red words jumped out in front of Lu Yongchang!

‘Smoke bombs! ’

‘Hurry up and launch the giant smoke bomb! ’

Zhao Zijie issued an order!

The gun ports on the sides of every [Golden Crow] battleship suddenly opened!

The muzzle of the gun was not aimed at the enemy starship.

Instead, he aimed at his own camp!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Under the power of the nuclear bomb, the yellow dust instantly dispersed and floated aimlessly in the universe!

In just ten seconds, the human fleet disappeared into the thick dust.

The power of the laser is greatly reduced, and its lethality to starships is also much smaller.

It seemed that the killing effect was not significant enough. After more than ten seconds, the laser beam array also slowly extinguished.

‘All starships, turn off active detection equipment! ’

Zhao Zijie's order continued: 'Don't stop the smoke bombs, keep firing! ’

‘The first, third, and fifth teams, break out towards the target location! ’

As he spoke, Zhao Zijie waved his fingers in the deep sea liquid and sent information about the breakout location to the first, third, and fifth teams.

‘Teams 2, 4, and 6 break through in the opposite direction! ’

‘Before we fly out of the smoke bomb range, seize the time and break out quickly! ’

…

The Grays flagship that has not yet appeared.

Watching the encirclement network gradually take shape, a cruel smile appeared on the commander's face.

"They're finished."

it whispered.

This tactic is particularly useful when facing fleets with insufficient mobility.

The reason is also very simple.

I want to escape, but I can't!

If I want to fight, I won’t fight you at all!

It can be said that as long as the encirclement network is completely formed, the moment the laser fence appears, the opponent's civilization will be destroyed!

It looked at the human fleet that had not yet reacted, and pressed a button on the side with a grin.

"Turn on laser irradiation!"

As soon as the words fell, hundreds of red, blue and purple light beams suddenly appeared in the spherical space!

A few scattered explosions appeared on the big screen in front.

"Huh?" There was some confusion in the little gray commander's eyes, "Is this the only result?"

It took a quick look.

Soon, it discovered Zero's emergency response.

"The response was pretty quick."

"Unfortunately, it's all in vain."

"All starships, start moving!" it issued the order again.

The laser fence was successfully formed.

Moving grids rushed towards the starships surrounding the grid!

Before it could be happy, a thick yellow smoke appeared in the center of the surrounding net!

The next moment, as if a horn was blown, dense smoke "flowers" bloomed in various areas within the surrounding net!

"Damn..."

The gray man's commander's face darkened.

After understanding the other party's civilized intentions, he couldn't help but become furious!

"Interstellar voyages also carry this kind of equipment..."

"What are they thinking in their heads?!!"
