Age of Cataclysm: I can light up the technology tree

04:01:23

Seeing the bright red countdown beating in the holographic projection, Lu Yongchang couldn't help but hold his breath.

This was the first time since he boarded the Earth that he disliked the flying speed of this flagship!

‘Zijie, is there any good solution? ’

Lu Yongchang, who thought to no avail, asked Zhao Zijie.

Obviously, Zhao Zijie has no good solution to this dilemma.

After waiting for a long time, Lu Yongchang waited for his response.

‘Professor Lu, at present, we do not have a suitable solution. ’

‘Only when we reach the main battlefield, suppress the opponent’s large forces with the help of electromagnetic guns, and then close the distance can we have a chance to win this war. ’

Lu Yongchang looked at the holographic projection in front of him and nodded silently.

Exactly the same idea as him.

However, I wonder if the 120 [Golden Crow] battleships can survive these four hours?

Lu Yongchang's face was full of worry and regret.

If it were just high-energy laser cannons and electromagnetic cannons, with Zero's auxiliary capabilities, he believed that these starships could wait for rescue unharmed.

However, if the opponent has a more powerful weapon, for example...

Ion beam weapons.

Then these 120 starships are probably in danger.

…

Frontal battlefield.

Bai Yixuan stared at the holographic image in front of him with all his concentration.

It shows various conditions of the battleship.

[Damage degree of outer armor of the whole ship: 53.78%]

[Fuel remaining: 90.13%]

[Ammo remaining: 58.11%]

【……】

He raised his eyelids and glanced above the projection.

【01:34:33】

【103】

There is still one hour and thirty-four minutes left before reinforcements arrive.

The number of [Golden Crow] battleships remaining on the battlefield: 103.

'Damn it...' Bai Yixuan said viciously in the brainwave communication channel, 'When the reinforcements arrive, I have to show them some color! ’

Hong Fan’s message then came: ‘Team White, don’t talk about this now. ’

‘The frequency of electromagnetic guns and laser beams fired from the opposite side is getting higher and higher! ’

Bai Yixuan twitched the corners of his mouth and revealed a sneer.

‘They probably found out that our reinforcements are coming soon. ’

'Everyone, hold on, wait for the reinforcements to arrive...'

‘Wait a minute, the flagship on the other side has moved! ’

As soon as the news was sent out, a shrill alarm sounded inside the [Golden Crow] battleship!

…

The outer reaches of Proxima Centauri b.

Levi's eyes were filled with joy.

This feeling of shooting is so exciting!

The only drawback is that these "targets" are too slippery.

Of course, after spending a long time, he still solved an invader's starship.

The moment Levi saw the 1,500-meter giant starship turn into fireworks, Levi's excitement reached its peak!

"Levi, we need to use the flagship!" August's deep voice came from the communication device, interrupting his excitement.

"Why?"

While controlling the direction of the electromagnetic gun and laser cannon, Levi said dissatisfiedly: "The opponent hasn't revealed its trump card yet, we can't use the flagship so early!"

Augustus said calmly: "Their reinforcements are coming."

"A total of 381 starships."

Levi suddenly fell silent.

Of course he knew what it meant.

"Okay, let's dispatch the flagship."

…

The bottom of a disk-shaped spacecraft with a diameter of 1,100 meters, located in the center of the Proxima fleet, lit up with the light of the Hall thruster.

Under the powerful thrust, it rushed straight towards the battlefield ahead!

The unusual behavior of the Proxima Centauri civilization flagship naturally attracted everyone's attention.

What do they want to do?

Including Lu Yongchang, everyone had a trace of doubt in their hearts.

But this doubt was solved in just a few seconds.

【alarm! You have been locked by an enemy ship, please take evasive action immediately! 】

An alarm sounded in one of the [Golden Crow] battleships.

Captain Wu Ran, as a veteran pilot, subconsciously controlled the starship to dodge when he saw the alarm.

But it was too late.

Almost at the same time as the alarm sounded, a burst of fire appeared in front of him!

boom!

[Golden Crow] The battleship suddenly exploded!

A strong explosion of fire emitted from the fusion furnace at the tail of the [Golden Crow], instantly affecting the entire starship.

A brilliant ball of fireworks appeared in everyone's eyes.

Ion beam weapons!

A thought came to everyone's mind at the same time.

Like them, the opponent also mastered ion beam weapons!

‘Wu Ran! ! ! ’ Bai Yixuan’s eyes widened suddenly, looking straight at the slowly extinguishing fireworks in the projection.

The moment he confirmed that his old teammate was dead, the flames of hatred suddenly rose in his eyes!

‘TMD, I’ll fight you! ’

‘Hong Fan, tell me the distance! ’

Hong Fan changed his usual cheerful tone and answered Bai Yixuan's inquiry without any nonsense.

‘69,000 kilometers, White Team, we don’t have enough range! ’

【alarm! you……】

The piercing alarm sounded in Bai Yixuan's ears.

Before he could react, Zero, who had learned a lesson once, had already controlled the starship and made evasive actions.

[High-energy ion beam detected]

[Successful avoidance]

In the deep-sea cabin, Bai Yixuan breathed in the yellowish deep-sea liquid, trying to suppress his violent heartbeat.

Almost.

Just almost.

‘Captain Bai, what should we do now? ’ Hong Fan asked Bai Yixuan.

The attack just now was like a basin of ice water poured on Bai Yixuan’s head, instantly calming him down.

Bai Yixuan took a deep look at the disc-shaped starship in the projection, and squeezed out a word with difficulty: ‘Escape! ’

…

The addition of the Proxima flagship has changed the situation drastically.

The human fleet, which was originally at a small disadvantage, has directly turned into a big headwind.

A series of explosions lit up in the deep and dark universe.

Each flame means the crash of a [Golden Crow] battleship!

Even if it is zero, it can only rely on prediction to avoid the ion beam attack close to the speed of light.

In just one hour, more than half of the 120 [Golden Crow] battleships were lost!

[Alarm! You have been locked by the enemy ship, please take evasive action immediately! ]

The alarm sounded like the god of death again in Bai Yixuan's ears.

Under Zero's control, [Golden Crow] automatically made evasive action.

One second, two seconds...

Bai Yixuan, who had not seen the words "successful evasion", was stunned.

What's going on?

He subconsciously raised his head and looked at the holographic image beside him.

A burst of extremely dense fire appeared in front of the flagship of the Proxima civilization.

Seeing the familiar explosion effect, Bai Yixuan felt his eyes warm up!

That was the explosion of the electromagnetic cannon projectile carrying a miniature nuclear bomb!

At the same time, a highlighted message appeared in front of everyone.

[Everyone, we are here! ]

[Prepare to counterattack! ]
