Age of Cataclysm: I can light up the technology tree

The Centauri Supercluster, an unnamed galaxy.

In the empty starry sky, a mother nest and tens of billions of insect swarms are rushing towards their next target.

Suddenly, an obscure tachyon wave came from a distance, quickly swept through the mother nest, and then spread to the more distant star field.

After a short wait, a stronger signal came from the mother nest.

Tens of billions of huge insect swarms all changed their direction and rushed towards the central black hole star field of the galaxy.

The space-time fluctuations caused by curvature navigation stir up ripples that spread outward on the ocean of space-time.

The same scene occurs in countless relatively large galaxies!

The endless Forsaken Zerg species all changed their course at this moment and rushed towards the central black hole area of ​​their respective galaxies!

…

Sweeper Headquarters.

A piercing siren roared in the otherwise quiet hall.

"Leader, a message for help has come from the Shapley Super Galaxy Cluster war zone again!" An anxious report came from the subordinates on the side, "A new batch of reinforcements from the human fleet have arrived on the battlefield!"

"Preliminary observations show that the size of the reinforcement fleet is around 300 million!"

"Damn Level III artificial intelligence! Damn human civilization!!" [Shen]'s voice revealed endless annoyance, "From the beginning of the war to now, the number of warships of human civilization has increased more and more!"

"How can we fight this war? Tell me, how can we fight this war?!"

You must know that the base of human civilization is the almost empty Boötes Hollow!

With almost no resource support, that damn human civilization actually exploded into a billion-sized fleet in just a hundred years!

This shit...

Can you still make some sense? !

"Leader..." the subordinate explained hesitantly in a low voice, "the neutral faction has suffered heavy losses, and they can hardly hold on anymore."

"As long as we persist for a while, victory will be ours."

[Sure] feebly waved the tentacles on his side, and said in a helpless tone: "Move it, move them all over! Move the fleet of the Peacock-Indian Super Galaxy Cluster over!"

Similar to the situation of neutralists and human civilization, the sweepers at this time also entered a vicious cycle.

After a large number of troops were mobilized, the defense strength of the Ring Universe Accelerator has dropped to a historical low!

If it weren't for the accurate calculation that human civilization and neutral factions would be unable to attack the ring cosmic accelerator node, [Su] would not have dared to issue such an order to mobilize troops on a large scale!

He raised his head and silently looked at the star map in the light curtain.

Boötes Hollow…

Different from more than a hundred years ago, at this time, there is already a faint light inside the Boötes void - that is the light produced by large-scale nebulae and technological creations!

There was a bit of sternness in his eyes, and he turned to look at the subordinate next to him: "We can't delay it any longer!"

"Initiate a communication request to [Membrane] immediately!"

…

[Sure, now is not the time we agreed. 】

Complex words appeared on the light screen in front of [Su].

"[Membrane], you should know our losses."

"From the beginning of the war to now, the Sweepers have sent a total of more than one billion warships!" [Su] asked in a bad tone, "What about the Pastoral Faction? How many troops have the Pastoral Faction sent in total?!"

【Eight million. 】

[This is already all the members of the Pastoral Faction. 】

[You should know that it is not easy for dimensional creatures to reproduce. 】

The information of [Membrane] appeared one by one on the light screen: [I know the dangers of advanced artificial intelligence better than you do. 】

[Don’t worry, the Pastoralists will never hide their weakness in this battle. 】

Looking at the information in the light screen, [Shen] sighed feebly.

Billions of years ago, when the omnic crisis broke out, the Sweeper civilization was just an ordinary seventh-level civilization.

It can be regarded as participating in the encirclement and suppression of the omnic civilization.

Of course, the main force must be the pastoral faction and the neutral faction.

So [Membrane] has no problem saying this.

[Su] Recalling the historical books he had read, he whispered: "The growth momentum of the human fleet is too terrifying. This war... seems to be much more difficult than the war billions of years ago."

[This is different. The omnic civilization back then was only a seventh-level civilization at the beginning, and was later promoted to an eighth-level civilization. 】

[They have not mastered dimensional technology, and their use of vacuum zero-point energy is not top-notch. 】

[In the last siege, after the omnic civilization exhausted its surrounding resources, it began to decline. 】

[Human civilization is different. 】

[The same strategy simply won’t work. 】

"...So, I hope you keep your promise." [Su] interrupted [Membrane].

[In the Boötes Hollow, the human fleet is too scattered. This is not the best opportunity to take action...]

"It's too late." [Shen]'s tone suddenly became serious, "Our fleet is limited, and if we allow human civilization to continue to grow, the consequences may be disastrous!"

【……】

…

The communication connection has been severed.

The [Membrane] located at the bottom of the cosmic bubble looked at the thin layer of hyperspace membrane in front of him and sighed deeply.

The annihilation plan had to be suspended for a while.

Looking at the hyperspace membrane that was constantly surging and trying to repair its own damage, [Membrane] shook his head helplessly.

This time, at least thousands or even tens of thousands of years of effort will be wasted.

While he was feeling regretful in his heart, he left the bottom area of ​​the cosmic bubble.

He slowly swung his body and swam into the five-dimensional space.

He moved along the smooth arc of the cosmic bubble, passing through interstellar walls, like a person looking down from a high place, and slowly swam towards the Boötes Void!

…

Centaurus Supercluster, the central black hole area of ​​the nameless galaxy.

Dozens of silver-white lost giant insects "swimmed" forward in the starry sky.

The power of the mechanical exoskeleton was not high, and the fluctuations caused by the curvature engine were not strong.

The weak curvature fluctuations, in front of the central black hole, were like stars under the sun, and their traces were completely covered.

According to the order of [Nus], they were scouts for this operation, responsible for exploring the deployment of the defense forces of the Sweeper civilization in the central black hole area.

They slowly approached the target - a giant fortress comparable to a blue giant star.

A sudden change occurred.

Under the gaze of these lost giant insects, this fortress comparable to a blue giant star is "unfolding" in an incredible way!

Cracks appeared on the tightly connected shell, and it stretched outward with the support of a large number of mechanical devices inside!

This unexpected scene quickly activated the early warning system equipped on the mechanical exoskeleton.

An encrypted tachyon message was sent from these Zerg scouts. After preliminary processing by the mother nest, the signal was amplified thousands of times and sent towards the direction of the Bootes void!
