Pretty tricky start, but straightforward afterwards.

Getting the tech:

Spoiler

Just land a CN nearby. Some of the caches already have the necessary collector/relay.
You can land on creeper. The CN will survive for a while.

[close]

Landfall:

Spoiler

Put the nullifier on the island, power it via guppy from creeper-infested land. The guppy will survive for a while, you can choose if you let it return and heal before it dies, or let it die and rebuild.
You'll need to land two cannons for actual landfall.

[close]

Energy shortage:

Spoiler

You can afford three, maybe four cannons. There are three stacked terps on the small island, you can power them from the right and create flat space for a CN to land, build collectors and two guppies to help power the actual front. This will allow five cannons, barely.

[close]

Reaching the second emitter:

Spoiler

Five cannons are barely not enough for the final push, but a shield will help just enough.

[close]

I didn't use the mortar tech, just clearing out the creeper with Berthas and the cannons proved to be easy enough.
