Star Empire

Looking at the crystal clear pocket crystal energy ball in front of him, Cavinrel let out a long breath.

Although it took nearly a thousand years, in fact, this research process could be said to be extremely smooth compared to his previous memories. The degree of problem solving is almost directly proportional to the flow of time.

Among them, all the equipment and restraint measures are basically functioning normally. Although during the continuous debugging process, there have been many situations where the information structure is about to collapse, causing the equipment to stop suddenly. These situations have also caused the empire to simultaneously strengthen the control of relevant equipment. Adjustments to technology. But in the end, there was no abnormal large-scale mathematical probability fluctuation overflow, nor was there a violent information shock that directly wiped out half of the world - everything was normal.

Perhaps, there is really light behind the lightless door of the Star of Stars, and luck is really blessing this troubled civilization. And now I think about it... When he was in the quarantine area, if someone had the leisure to look at the Lightless Door a few more times, would he be able to see the Gou Chenxing from that weird door?

…

"This should be said to be the most compact high-frequency crystal energy group we have created now, right?" Victorville looked at the huge golden ocean hanging upside down on the horizon, and then looked at the small golden light spot with a diameter of less than half a meter in front of him. , the sense of gap is vividly reflected in the two groups of crystal energy that are almost identical in material and properties but extremely different in size. Compared with the huge crystal energy vortex with a diameter of hundreds of light years in the once sealed area , the one in front of me can only be described as a small man.

The volume difference between the two crystal energy vortices is already more than hundreds of billions of times, and the manufacturing method of this small crystal energy light group is exactly the same as the turbulent golden light flow in the crystal energy vortex, but if the volume is compared If so, even if you use scientific notation, you still need to add a lot of zeros.

However, their controllability and portability are hardly comparable.

"At present, it can indeed be said to be the smallest." Wei Ruifan was also very happy. "There are no constraints added yet. If further constraints are implemented, it should be able to be reduced a little further, and it can be completely placed in the future. It’s inside our new body based on our body, but we still need to test the stability and controllability...Zhai Cahir, Isendel, this shouldn’t be very difficult, right?”

"It's not difficult. It can be said that these are just derived problems. In addition to the control aspect that requires more analysis, other additional content can completely rely on the current creation - these structures are all based on mathematical models. As long as the model is established, its The additional parts can be built or dismantled in any way." Isendel responded with great pride.

"Don't be so full of words yet - there is still a difference."

Zhai Cahir shook his head, "Creatures are no better than those giant spaceships. We need to adjust the output rate of the reaction facility so as not to output too much crystal energy when it is not needed and harm the body. This requires that the "regulating valve" at the output end can It can be adjusted to a certain extent and can also be controlled by thoughts after the transfer, and the "valve" itself also needs to improve its reliability, etc."

"Then, we need to pay attention to the stability and mobility of this series of facilities. As for stability, I personally am not worried. It can be seen that although it is extremely complex and obscure, the information channel itself is self-consistent and complete, and Except for the void end, the most important parts are in the world of order, which in itself is a guarantee of safety."

"And in order to further strengthen the stability, in some information areas, Cavinrel also tries his best to use the produced crystal energy to prop up parts of the order field according to his understanding of the model."

"Similar structures should exist in those flying wings, but they may have failed because of their complete shutdown, or because the models built by the two sides are too different for us to understand. In fact, we have not found the corresponding part. "

"In short, when the specific coordinates of the other end cannot be found at all, it is almost impossible for void erosion and external attacks to destroy it. What needs to be checked is the output end of the Order World. We need to let the spacecraft or some other detection The weapon "flies" several more times in the world of order and the void in various ways."

"In this process, we should be able to gradually verify the interaction between some of the engine's most critical parameters and the world structure. If even the obstruction and void of the Order World barrier cannot affect it, I think it can be said to fully meet our requirements. , and can enter the stage of mass production.”

"I hope everything goes well." "Civilization will be revitalized." Although they said in different voices, both Vidoville and Weisrifan expressed great affirmation and hope for this.

…

Since the crystal energy source is greatly reduced, matching equipment, such as various regulating facilities, can be completely built around the output of the output end. At the same time, it is no longer necessary to first extract the crystal energy from the crystal as before, and then use the mathematical rate core to assign and output it. These two processes can now be implemented in one step.

Since the previous two main processes of crystal energy production are completely linear processes and cannot complement each other, as long as one part has a problem that is enough to cause downtime, this problem will completely destroy the system. Therefore, the reduction of the process this time is actually quite significant. Reduces the possibility of system failure.

Vesrifan can control the world barrier to a certain extent, so it is much easier for void probes to enter and exit the world of order than before.

If you want to enter and exit the world, first these carriers need to "fuse" with the world barrier at the information level, and then enter and exit this information barrier in a manner similar to endocytosis and exocytosis. The key to being able to contact this information barrier is It has the same identification code as this layer of barrier, that is, the "frequency" of the order field.

But even so, the favorite place for aircraft to enter and exit the universe is the void rift in the middle of the crystal energy vortex. It can be said that there is almost no need for identification and frequency change operations, but there is some commemorative significance in it: this is more or less OK Find a little bit of that feeling you once had at home.

Information-matter conversion technology and unlimited crystal energy have made great progress in the efficiency and accuracy of creation. It originally required a desperate effort to mobilize all the industrial facilities built in the blockade zone within two thousand years to mass-produce the mathematical rate core, as well as the brand-new With the supporting facilities and void exploration aircraft, it now only takes a few days to complete small-scale mass production.

…

The results obtained from the experiment are also very satisfactory.

Whether in the void or in the world of order, these probes carrying special engines can be said to have achieved 100% of the goals that everyone hoped for. Whether in the void or in the world of order, any form of navigation method .

This even includes several adventures, directly increasing the information offset to infinity, sacrificing the probe, allowing it to sail in the void at "infinite" "speed", and then bind the information received in a short period of time. The final state of the detection echo fixed on the crystal energy engine space channel indicates that it is still maintaining stable operation - and the "body evaporation" phenomenon caused by the huge information offset is also recorded.

The void is full of unknowns and dangers. Now the empire has indeed achieved achievements that are almost impossible to quantify, but for the void environment, this is probably just getting started.

The empire is confident of overcoming all difficulties.

——

To maintain the stability of a channel built on this information level, it only needs to ensure that one end is within the protection of order, while the other end is naturally exiled in the void, and the remaining accessories, as long as they can withstand Information rupture caused by excessive information deviation in the void can maintain operation. These accessories are simple and crude, and only require crystal energy. Other conditions are not important.

Because in fact, the environment formed by high-frequency crystal energy is extremely cruel and fierce. Compared with the violent fluctuations of information, such as high pressure, high corrosion, and high electromagnetism, they are as docile and weak as the most inconspicuous waves in a small river.

When the final stability was confirmed and all ergonomic supporting components were designed and manufactured, the life recovery plan that had been stalled due to new physical problems began again. Before that, the souls sealed in the crystal were almost under constant stability monitoring. The connection of a large number of mathematical rate equipment to the grid allowed Vidoville and others to monitor the operation of each identification code. and stability.

In the thousands of years of infiltration of the crystal energy environment, these souls who have laid a good foundation for survival before departure are also constantly improving their tolerance and stability in the crystal energy information flow. A tough soul is a match. The most beneficial guarantee for a new body.

This time, with nearly complete preparations, nothing could stop the star civilization, which had only a few hundred people still in shape and had been silent in the long night for thousands of years, from trying to regain its vitality.

In previous projects, a considerable number of large-scale facilities were gradually built on the "outside" of the warped world wall, such as the new giant shipyard, the space city extension of the first base, and primitive crystal energy weapons. ——It is not easy to restrain such powerful information fluctuations and launch them in a direction according to the user's wishes. Otherwise, the central main armor plate of the former flagship would not have been burned with a hole that almost penetrated.

However, that experiment was not without effect. The crystal energy beam that had been modulated to a certain extent could display more tricks, and sometimes it even had stronger direct destructive power in some aspects.

Weisruifan determined that if the original high-frequency crystal energy is not used directly, the destructive power to space and laws will be weakened, and the effect of unlimited speed of launch and arrival will be lost. Overall, the power of these derivative weapons is Declined. However, this does not hinder everyone's joy. Controllability is always much more valuable than simply pursuing the limits of a certain aspect.

Now, even if those ghost fleets with Σ symbols come again, Vidoville and Kalost can more or less dare to say that the empire has the power to fight them. At least, there is no longer a need to rely on self-destruction to cause void intrusion to die together with the enemy in such a miserable way.

…

Under the thick protective panels of the first base, the greatly expanded body reshaping cabin and wide corridors are brightly lit. The bright crystal energy lights seem to exude the vitality of hope, and the previous soul vault has also been destroyed. After arriving here, all the souls sealed in the crystals have been sorted. Soon, they will have actual bodies again, powerful bodies that are truly built on the level of crystal energy.

And this part of the place used to bring the soul back from the memory to the real world looks a little abnormal. The number and size of the corridors and life-reshaping cabins seem to be contrary to the appearance of the space facility - its internal environment does not seem to be enough to carry such a Lots of cabins. This is also a brand-new technology, obtained by reverse engineering the abnormal properties of those "Σ" legacy creations.

By resetting the representation of the size of space in information, space cargo holds and space expansion technology have emerged that can greatly expand the inventory. This means that a small boat with a length of only one kilometer can also pull a boat with a length of more than ten kilometers. Large ships are running around, and of course, there may be some strange and even intrusive scenes during the loading process - although Zhai Cahill said that if you think about it carefully, this scene is actually quite touching.

"Attention, the actual soul-body soul synthesis test has begun, and soul No. 1 is already in place." The accompanying AI of the space station gave a rigid prompt, and in front of Vidoville and others, the flashing holographic projection had already transformed the subject Various information about the soul is displayed. Now, this soul will have the first new body of the entire civilization.

"What a pity. Even if the test passes, you still need to follow this method to coat the soul like an assembly line. This will slow down the recovery rate of the individual." Wei Ruifan leaned against the transparent isolation board and looked inside the room because of the extra The "hibernation cabin" was bloated with the addition of information structure synthesis modules, and the tone of voice revealed expectations, but also a lot of regrets.

"Your Majesty, after all, each soul is a relatively independent and powerful memory. It stores all the information of the body that matches it. We can indeed mass-produce a large number of bodies, but it is difficult for such mass-produced individuals to match each other. Speaking of souls with huge differences, especially now that the soul level is so high... with the current level of technology, if the soul is not accurately reshaped according to the soul blueprint, there is a possibility of rejection between the two."

Isendel tried his best to comfort Her Majesty the Queen beside him, "After confirming that the test results are stable, thousands of cabins nearby will start working simultaneously. This will not take too long."

A golden light shone from behind the isolation shield, interrupting everyone's discussion. Under their gaze, the capsule-shaped medical cabin that stored the soul's real-life spirit body began to slowly open.

The soul and the body complement each other, and the soul itself records all the information of the body, even the history and possible future. This is a much more powerful inheritance method than pure physical genetic material.

Under the guidance of these data, a new shell composed of crystal energy has re-encapsulated this soul that has been separated and stored in the virtual world of data for more than thousands of years.

When the "capsule" was fully opened, a figure was slowly pushed out by the force field inside the cabin, and this weak force field also maintained the stability of the individual. Judging from the appearance, the "person" who has just completed the encapsulation is a male. He is tall and seems to be slightly slender but definitely not thin. His facial features look well-proportioned and coordinated, and his short golden hair represents the interference effect of crystal energy. .

This part is not a problem, so Cavernrel and others did not bother with it later. If anyone feels uncomfortable and has the conditions to repair it, after being pushed out of the isolation cabin for a while, the silent body and face After a few gentle twitches, he opened his eyes - the "iris" was also golden.

"Move a little, not only the body, but also the soul, and the mind." Cavernrel's sonorous and slow instructions were passed to the other side of the isolation door and quickly attracted the attention of the reborn individual. After hearing the order , Instinct drove the man to respond - his body shook twice and seemed to lose his balance. If there was no protection, he would probably fall directly to the ground.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty Weisrifan, this is an adaptation period, and you have to adapt to the senses that are completely different from the flesh and blood body you used to have. For example, the way you accept information from the outside world, your senses will be very different." Isendel He gently stopped the anxious Wei Ruifan and said, "Wait a moment and give him some time to adapt."

"Hmm, Your Majesty? How many other chiefs are there?" The young man who had just regained consciousness saw the situation outside the transparent protective partition and quickly prepared to salute. However, the restraining field temporarily restricted his actions, while Cavernrel slowly , asked clearly:

"How does it feel?"

"It's a bit strange, but it's not bad." The young man shook his head slightly, and his field of vision also expanded a bit, and more and more sensory interactions began to unfreeze and recover faster and faster. When he After he began to continuously master the control of his body, the invisible force field restraining his limbs and torso also reduced the field strength simultaneously.

"First of all, compared to before, most of the senses are not abnormal, but there are still some obvious changes. The world in my eyes is no longer as simple as before with various filters. Everything seems to be the same. I feel a little unreal in this shaky mess.”

The voice suddenly stopped, and the people in the cabin stood motionless as if the pause button had been pressed. On the outside of the protective panel, Zhai Cahir nervously triggered the emergency stop mechanism. During the monitoring, the man's body The ends of the limbs began to become somewhat transparent, as if they were gradually disappearing.

"There are still some omissions, and aspects related to thinking still need to be focused on. It seems that restrictions must be added. At the same time, we need to explore how to guide these individuals to adapt to this too high-level ideological power."

Zhai Cahir wiped the non-existent cold sweat on his head, "The level after the reshaping is still too high compared to the previous body built on the material level. The consequences of self-doubt are too obvious. , this is a problem that we...have not noticed before."
