Star Empire

"A perfect match. This is indeed a suitable test environment, but now...I'm afraid we can't do anything else. We must avoid communicating with space stations outside the direct impact area as much as possible here. The current situation is unclear. too much."

"By the way, let's find a way to see the wounded."

Kalost suddenly said, "After all, silence is often a natural barrier... If your guess is indeed feasible, then other people within the predetermined blockade area will also be safe."

"Now?" Cavinriel was a little surprised, "There are really not many valuable things we can do at the moment...but the highest-level isolation cabin should not be connected to the outside world, right?"

"It won't be completely isolated, but it's actually not very useful - after the isolation system is fully activated, there is only one way that will eventually be used, which is to take the high-dimensional folding channel... The technology required to increase the dimension of our world is very difficulty."

"Speaking of which, in addition to direct contact and communication, the information collection network seems to have many other functions in practical applications, right? This network is not just for communication. At least, I It has promoted absolutely novel ways of using the network."

Caloust suddenly said to Cavinrel as if he was taking credit, "If several spacecraft equipped with information computers are allowed to fly in a team with the computer's stable calculation activated, and they are given freedom and independence from the working method of the entire network segment, , the possibility of being located and detected among them will be greatly reduced! If we use this law, our warships can even remain invisible from the scans of most conventional observations!"

"...It's inexplicable. This is just a second change to the output result of the technical black box, and it was also tested. Even if it is practical, if we can't understand its effective mechanism and replicable process... Without stable theoretical support, we can only Counting a single example, even if it is a repeated example, its reference value is not large enough - in other words, it cannot be brought to the academic stage."

Cavernrel poured cold water on the general mercilessly, "For those technologies related to entropy and information, if we don't know their specific principles, no matter what we do, it is just a rule of thumb, which cannot be quantified or measured. Clear theories, even when used correctly, are dangerous castles in the air.”

"...That's true."

For the next section of the road, the two soldiers walked down the road in silence. There were almost no other people moving in the deserted and long metal corridor.

The external physical link connecting the isolation cabin section to the main body of the space station is equipped with a high-dimensional space activation device. Objects in a three-dimensional state cannot block this kind of positioning and transfer that is almost from outside the world. Such reconnection requires temporarily twisting the interface to activate the link. Special information collection nodes work internally to overcome interference to collect data, and then send it out through the physical link.

In fact, these complex communication channels can actually be considered loopholes, loopholes deliberately dug through the defense in order to maintain the ability of the entire research system to develop all value. In order to ensure its safety, the security officers of the Federation for hundreds of millions of years have worked hard in these places.

…

"We're here." In front of a closed alloy gate, Kalost stretched out his hand and clicked a few times on a smooth wall, and a heart-stopping strange sound came - it was the space itself being distorted and fused by stress. When the sound is generated, the fluctuations generated rub against the air in the space station.

The entire space station seemed like an ancient ship facing rough waves, and the entire platform began to vibrate violently. Redundant anchoring systems and inertial stabilizers were activated in time to prevent further changes in the building's posture. After the posture stabilized, a small part of the transparent wall slowly slid, and a transparent panel appeared. After entering the physical password, the heavy alloy gate opened to both sides with a rumbling sound.

"I actually don't think the sound just now is what we think of as the standard definition of sound, although it is actually waves vibrating, both material waves and space-time."

Caloust shook his head slightly, then looked at the science officer with his hands behind his back, "This system is very dangerous. There is a large section of cases in the safety regulations that emphasize the necessity of waiting just now."

Cavinrel nodded and took the lead to walk into the room with strict isolation measures. This room was very simple. Inside a standard cubic space, there was only an ever-changing illusory polyhedron - the output of some default interface of an information computer. end.

"Information technology is really mysterious." Kalost looked at the weird polyhedron that was constantly changing its shape with emotion.

"Information technology... now we can only use the residue born from that super accident and make it into this kind of semi-finished product." Every time he mentioned this, Cavinrel couldn't be happy.

"It is difficult for us to find more analogies - except for some of the mathematical models currently established, they have no material structure at all, and they may not even exist in the form of light, but they can actually interact with us and have a significant impact on reality. The existence resistance of various physical phenomena or other material levels is also extremely strong..."

"They are called "information" because we can only detect that the entropy value will decrease abnormally near these things. If there are other data devices around, then strange data may continue to be generated in these data devices. There are no valuable real data packages. After we try our best to modify those data into a format that can be understood by us... we can only call them information and information, even the best mathematical research The team and the best mathematical models can't explain all the details."

"So now, we can only use them by looking for people who can best adapt to the working environment of these computers. The profession of network control technician cannot be produced for hundreds of thousands of years - our population is growing very slowly, and we have a huge population. Cardinality, we respect using scientific thinking and a consistent rational attitude to study the correlation and inherent structure behind things and try to copy and practicalize it... If such a useful network can only rely on those people to maintain... It always feels a little inappropriate. "

After receiving Calost's command, the interactive interface of the information computer began to decompose and reorganize. After filtering as much as possible through countless layers of filters, the information was transmitted from the high-dimensional channel.

During the disintegration and reorganization, the information computer output terminal soon seemed to be alive, unfolding along the room lights and silver-gray metal walls, and finally turned into a spherical shell-shaped panoramic display screen. On the panoramic display screen, the internal scene of the strictly isolated emergency medical cabin was finally made known to outsiders again - using the most serious extraordinary means.

"Sigh... It seems that this inexplicable crystallization symptom is really serious." Cavernrel looked inside the cabin and sighed with very complicated emotions.

Slightly closer to the camera, there are many people who only have life reactions left suspended in the air. They are held up by a layer of milky white light. On the floor around them, there are scattered haze-like golden particles. .

"Could it be...a lifting force field? Or is it produced by air? No, in fact we can live without air...vacuum...can force fields also be heterogeneous?" Cavinrel looked at it Seeing that the invisible force field was revealed by the slowly returning golden mist, I couldn't help but frown slightly.

A little further away, there is a group of former space station staff wearing somewhat damaged lining uniforms. This is the previous death squad. The crystallization phenomenon they produced was caused by contact with the first batch of injured people. On the one hand, second time It seems that the effect of super-level infections will weaken, just like nuclear radiation. On the other hand, in other rooms attached to the isolation room, Cavinrel noticed the severely damaged unmanned autonomous equipment, as well as the larger ones. The steel body of "people" - protective power suits, or power armor, isolates the most direct contact, so the situation of these people is not that serious.

"...How should I put it, Your Excellency Science Officer...If it weren't for your appearance, I'm afraid this part of the area would have destroyed itself..." After a slight silence, another very complicated voice sounded from behind Cavernrel.

The situation is serious, but it seems that there is hope for the people who are locked up - some people still retain a certain degree of consciousness, and the crystallization of those who have been comatose seems to have basically stopped. But this is only the result shown by the monitoring. What Cavernrel can get is only the simplest part of the parameters.

These "Patient Zero" are currently unable to communicate with him. However, at least for now, the effects of various previous blocking methods are still more or less present, and the golden vortex has not shown any other properties of killing people for a while.

"The work of monitoring the basic structure of this room and the physical condition of the injured is all done by the self-discipline system. The reason why I can tell you that their situation is still under control is entirely because the underlying safety protocols that restrict this section of the cabin are still there. Without being triggered, he ignored all orders except those with the highest authority in the federation and went into self-exile. In this place, the self-discipline system has three hosts located in the three most protected places working together to maintain stability. There are many more in their subordinate nodes. Secondary logic determines that the crew is providing redundant support.”

"In order to avoid possible contamination spillover in a high-standard storage environment, the information here is translated and copied, and then sent back to the main body of the space station by physical means to be translated and copied again, and all substandard codes are filtered out before it can finally be seen by me. , and most of them are just the two most direct results of "normal within the range" and "abnormal within the range", and even the parameter output is very small. Strictly speaking, it is still very dangerous for you to be like this." Kalost suddenly said .

"...Why are you asking this question again that has been raised several times? Otherwise, why don't you give me some ideas on how to handle this matter safely? How about just considering absolute safety?" The science officer looked at the general who had a gloomy look on his side. , "How have these personnel and internal equipment changed?"

"The parameter report shows that the crystallization is abnormal, but the evolution speed has slowed down, and the equipment part has stopped similar reactions. The cabin can be self-sustaining, and the redundant system margin is sufficient."

"Well... at this speed, the crystallization process will eventually stop. Then, if this is really the phenomenon brought about by the ultimate theory, the crystallization of the equipment is irreversible, but life... may be restored. These crystals The chemical part may have other meanings.”

"It's this mysterious and mysterious theory again." Kalost looked at the science officer who might be getting excited again with a dark look on his face, "Okay, the bandwidth and one-time communication capacity here are limited, no matter how long it takes, We're going to force an overload. Since you said it's possible for them to recover, just wait a little longer until they wake up and then talk in detail." After saying that, the general suddenly turned his back and whispered: "If you can If it’s true, then it’s still possible…”

"What?" Cavinriel looked at the general's sudden strange movements and tilted his head unconsciously. There was almost substantial doubt in his black eyes, and a question mark seemed to appear out of thin air on his head.

"No...oh, I mean, since you won't be able to do anything for a while, then tell me about the technical details of the cutting-edge military technologies you are involved in." Kalost changed the subject abruptly.

"Oh, of course."

Although Cavenriel didn't say it, he was able to roughly connect those words based on some speculations in his heart - even though the current federal citizens are no longer natural life forms, most of their individual consciousness is rational and calm. The place is very well preserved - not being able to control emotions and emotions is terrible, but not having emotions and emotions violates the federal principles. The price to pay for this kind of compatibility is obviously greater, and the control range is smaller, but it has been the federation's since ancient times. Views and practices that have been adhered to since

Although Cavinriel is not on an absolute frontal battlefield, he can guess something - even if they don't have to be life-and-death friends, in the Federation, as long as they have worked together, the communication circle and joint network can bring together any like-minded people. The relationship between people is very tight, and he knows very well what Kalost is thinking.

"What are the composition principles of chromatic nuclear armor, space annihilation bombs, and the pile of safety regulations in high-dimensional space."

Kalost This is not a complete change of topic. The information collection network can provide this knowledge, but it is very difficult to extract a simple version of this knowledge among a lot of functions, curves and obscure and complicated equations.

However, this knowledge only has such a complex inventory, and in order to avoid excessive leakage and tampering, all advanced data are set to read-only status, and those complex mathematical structures are not understandable by anyone. This also made Caloust feel curious and helpless.

As a frontline general, his mathematical research direction is closer to tactical models, and he does not need to understand other things too deeply. What he needs now is not a complete set of complicated technical details, but a concise popular science. It is perfectly fine to ask cutting-edge scientists about such simplified things under such circumstances.

It can even be said that he does not need to know these. Curiosity is important, but Kalost does not intend to get to the bottom of it here.

After all, they just need some time to raise experimental means and organize their ideas, and in the process they can only kill the time when they really have nothing to do.

"No problem, as long as there is time." Cavernrel nodded lightly, "The holographic projection and various streamer lifelines opened up behind him instantly like wings of light." I will process this part of the output data first. Then, for those somewhat obscure parts, everything I know, I will explain in the simplest and most direct way..."
