Star Empire

"What?" Looking at the somewhat busy chief control technician, the confused Victorville glanced at the freeze-framed subjects and Zhai Cahill's movements in a strange way. However, after a brief period of astonishment, he was never stopped. The terrible consequences and long-term impact of the word "anticipated problem" almost immediately set off alarm bells in his heart, "Problem that has never been considered? What is happening now?"

“…Uncontrolled self-doubt can kill oneself by obliterating one’s own existence.”

After watching the subject's transparent parts gradually return to substance, Zhai Cahir breathed a sigh of relief.

"After mastering the method of crystal energy assignment, the threshold for controlling crystal energy has been relatively lowered. In order to speed up the progress, the thinking module we set up is tied to the core of the mathematical rate of crystal energy assignment. If you doubt yourself randomly, there will be It may cause itself to be deleted. Or a part of it, ah, a small part, at least until precise thinking restrictions can be made."

"--What?!"

Hearing this statement, Vidoville's eyes widened a little wider, "If according to you, we are in danger all the time? And in the most dangerous moments, we all have self-doubt, It’s not like we’ve ever been civilized, how should we explain this problem?! Also, I have to ask, before and after we accept the transformation, how do we calculate it and what level are we at?”

"The absolute level of power you possess is indeed much higher than before. In terms of uncertainty, it may be more than half higher for the most part? But in fact, this is not a very important issue. The main change in the gap in this aspect is The source is the tolerance we have established for the generalized information structure due to the increase in uncertainty and the enhancement of related stability."

"Whether it's dangerous or not, it's not actually dangerous - the main difference is that we didn't expect what changes would happen after crystal energy was highly involved in the life system. Before, our thinking mode was based on traditional organisms. There is no specialized enhancement component for the control of crystal energy, which must pass through a biologically assigned device to have an effect in an individual."

"So in the past, except for me and a few special people, in fact, the crystal energy of most people was simply used as ballast in their souls. Ideas alone could not mobilize much influence, and we, It has taken people more or less thousands of years to adapt to these changes, and more importantly - what we doubt is mostly not ourselves, but the entire civilization, and in order to avoid despair, these thoughts are often passed by in a flash."

"The influence itself is small, and the amount of information about the corresponding target is huge. For the entire civilization, our little fleeting thoughts... this small disturbance is not enough."

"But no matter what, these problems are indeed very serious." Vidoville looked at everything here solemnly, and his face became a little solemn. "Reality reminds us once again that we have completely jumped out of the original stability. System, what we don’t know and what we may encounter has far exceeded the imagination-guessing system we once built based on the world.”

"Anyway... From now on we can be clear... We will indeed be different in the future... At least, our thinking and will will also become the means for us to interact with the world... That means that we Thoughts... truly have power.”

…

After a few more brief explanations, Vidoville and Weisrifan left here, while Zhai Cahir and others stayed in place to continue the renovation project - it seemed that what they wanted to see was the restoration of civilization. The time for vitality has to be delayed a little, but this is expected. The experimental subject itself is expected to need to be alone for a period of time, but this problem is still a bit embarrassing. Thinking about it will kill you. It is indeed a dangerous situation.

…

"To be honest... many of today's theories are really... beyond the scope of my understanding... Even now, many times we can only judge choices based on the results..." Wandering around when nothing happened , Victorville looked at the corridor spreading out in front of him, exuding warm light, "I actually need a quantifiable standard. Now a lot of content... is just like a word game."

"...Actually, this is quite simple...Although it may not be completely unified...but at least it is not difficult to think about. When they make the restriction lock, it will actually be the same." Wei Ruifan also ordered the ground A chair was generated to sit next to Victorville,

"As for word games, I think it is really possible to develop into various word games if they are developed to the extreme in the future. After all, words are a tool for us to express meanings and concepts, and the ultimate in information manipulation is to be able to reduce very small conceptual gaps. Analyze it clearly and even make use of it. In abstract terms, it doesn’t seem to be a problem to say that this is just playing a word game.”

"Um"

…

In the end, the additional delay was actually not that long.

After identifying the source of the problem, Zhai Cahill and others quickly basically solved these problems. In fact, what is missing is a restrictive thinking module. Adding such a device can filter out the thoughts that will cause harm to its own existence - the operation of multi-threaded thinking has always existed, and the addition can filter out some thoughts that will cause harm to its own existence. Devices with critical threshold threads are not difficult to operate.

In the future, as people gradually gain more control over their new powers, these restrictions will gradually weaken and eventually be lifted. Here, in order to prevent the restriction lock from excessively interfering with the operation of normal thinking, the scope of restriction avoidance is still limited to the dangerous part.

This means that during the adaptation period, the experimental subjects still need to face the inexplicable creations of one thought, and the creations are still those irrational individuals with almost no stereotypes. Therefore, the additional space for mental control in the design will also be in the design. This trial was put into formal testing.

After thinking of spaceships superimposed with space expansion technology, Vidoville discovered that the size would no longer be credible.

…

After more than ten days of testing, the mental space overflowed several times, the thinking core as an organ replacement crashed twice, and the power went out of control several times, a document that can finally exist stably and can directly carry out external reference thinking The implanted information segments were finally sorted out by Zhai Cahir and others from the experimental room that was about to be reduced to ruins.

In addition to the "hardware" that restricts the lock on the physical level, now in the next new biological recovery, they have a buffer "software" that can be used directly as external experience and input into the core of thinking, and they have a final successful experiment. With the double guarantee of individuality and replicable successful experience, the life recovery plan will be truly completed.

…

"The scene is indeed spectacular, right? That experimental cabin that was damaged like that... what's going on?" After undergoing space expansion, the central corridor was as large as a square and looked like a Gnaku. Victorville did feel a bit shocked by the synthesis cabin, which was neat, grand, organized, and reviving vitality. However, among them, the cabin that exploded outward until it was almost shattered was also very eye-catching.

". A small, expected test accident, the combined effect of losing control of power and constraining the bottom line is quite powerful... but the problem has been completely solved." Zhai Cahir waved his hand indifferently, "Compared to this, You should be more concerned that the most important life clusters of Xingming Civilization are being reborn in batches."

"I know that I can feel the vitality, the rhythm of the soul brought by living individuals, which is incomparable to these mechanical devices that we have no way to truly shape the soul."

Looking at the soul encapsulation array flashing into a wave of light, Victorville felt a burst of relief from the bottom of his heart, but soon he felt something was wrong: "These reborn individuals in white experimental suits have gathered like this. Look. It looks a little strange.”

"There are only hundreds of thousands of people in each batch now, so more batches are needed to finally bring all the individuals back to reality from the crystal. If there are more people, it will be like the controlled individuals who have lost consciousness are summoned in some way. Assembled under disturbance, this part may indeed look a bit strange."

Weisrifan folded his arms and whispered, "But it will be fine soon. This period is the previous "adaptation period", so these bodies need to act under the control of some preset programs, but as long as you look carefully at them eyes, these discomforts will be much less.”

Under the prompting of Vesrifan, Vidoville focused his attention on the position of those people's eyes. Eyes are the windows of the soul, which later evolved into the windows of the soul. This is an item of knowledge with absolute truth. In the somewhat stiff steps of these people, Vidoville could clearly feel that their somewhat out-of-focus golden eyes were quickly regaining their clarity.

". Then, how many of us still need to be reshaped in this way, right?" Victorville looked at the mid-level and high-level authority people around him who were watching this scene together. Compared with those wearing white clothes, with blond hair and golden eyes, they looked like angels. Most of the newcomers standing here are still in the most ordinary "mortal body" state.

"Individuals with special changes are not suitable for reshaping. We don't have such strong technology, like His Majesty Weisrifan, Zhai Cahir and Aishiket. Our existing technology and materials are not enough to reshape them. Carry out safe and error-free operations on their level." Cavinriel replied, "But other individuals who have been awake are best to follow this process once. Your Majesty, you will now join the reshaping and encapsulation queue. ?"

"Wait a little longer until Calost completes the mission." Vidoville smiled, "It won't be long until it's over."

"Task?"

"Of course, we can't live here forever. At least, we have to find a stable new world that can survive for a long time as a new home. This is just a transit station." Victorville activated a series of holograms In the projection, in the bouncing picture, Cavinriel saw a giant shipyard that was larger than any previous facility, and there were two more such shipyards in the background.

"I asked him to design a new ark, which can really be used as a mobile city, or even a temporary home, a sturdy ship that can carry out sustainable navigation, and it also needs to have a certain amount of counter-firepower and the capabilities that the original warship should have. Ah. , the design drawings have been sent.”

In the newly unfolded large-scale holographic projection, a strange-shaped flying fortress showed its majestic appearance in the outline of pale golden light. It was like a thick cigar with a slightly expanded middle, and above and below the spacecraft There is also an arc-shaped bulge on the left and right that covers more than half of the hull. At the stern of the spacecraft, Victorville saw the representative five-unit bundled engine. This shape is somewhat reminiscent of The Taloga class was the pinnacle of technological military creation in the Federation era.

"The plan is to build a total of three ships. The facilities in the spacecraft can be said to be comprehensive. Compared with the previous role of the Ark as an escape ship, they should be more like mobile cities and homes - they can try to expand the space inside." Vidoville scanned the blueprint as he spoke, "Well, there's no problem, Kalost, you can just hand the drawings to the shipyard for manufacturing, and then come over quickly for remodeling and packaging."

"clear."

Vidoville silently turned off the communication, and then uploaded his soul identification code to the reshaping queue.

Soon, in the follow-up queue, Cavinrel and Torres. Familiar names followed closely behind.

In an infinite vast field, the soul is sublimated in the tempering of crystal energy, the body is reshaped in the ocean of information fluctuations, and one after another spectacular and holy "angel phalanx" is continuously synthesized from the main body of the first base. They surged out from below the cabin. Under the pre-command of the life recovery plan, they merged into one unmanned automatic facility after another in deep space. Through the fluctuation of thoughts across space and time, Weisrifan could feel it. , these energetic reborn individuals are injecting gratifying vitality and vitality into these cold "metal" creations.

And a little further away from the crystal energy vortex, in the huge shipyard that looks like a hexagonal single "honeycomb", the dazzling light that is constantly flashing is wandering in the space as if it has intelligence, and there are bright golden lines. In the eyes of people's curiosity and awe, the stream of light turned into an entity. The transparent light layer like a water film quickly formed an outer armor belt covering the frame of the spacecraft. Under the cover of this layer of armor belt, each seat was several meters long. Kilometers of crystal energy confinement guide rails rotated and slowly sank into the shaft of the spacecraft structure.

Just like a creation out of thin air, the golden light swept across, and the precise and complex structure of the spacecraft squirmed and grew out of the original base structure.

Under the tight protection of the spacecraft's four huge crystal energy shield arrays, one end of a huge information group is anchored in the spacecraft at a fixed frequency, like a complex and solid crystal energy pipe network like blood. Extending from the "anchor", the complex bloodline is integrated into every part of the ship, bringing inexhaustible information fluctuations to the spacecraft, while the "heart part" is protected by an extremely strong cabin. The other end, like an eternal paradox, was violently repulsed by any frequency of order in the void, and was then forever exiled into the void that could accept everything.

October 7, Year of Exile 4133.

"In the name of the Star Emperor, I, Woodster Vidovir\\Kundalil, Vesrivan, hereby declare:"

"We have made a major breakthrough. The first long silent night has ended. Standing on the new Ark fleet, we can declare that the vitality of civilization will begin to recover from now on."

"There are many people who gave their lives and souls for the survival of civilization. They will not be forgotten, no matter what attitude they had when they gave their lives."

"But the crisis is not over yet. We still have not found an orderly world that can survive stably. There are still countless fogs in the void blocking our sight. The mystery of the dead tide and the shadow of the unknown void civilization still threaten our safety. But We will not be afraid of challenges.”

"We need to keep going for a long time, maybe even forever, in order to find a new home and solve the mysteries we encounter."

The crystal energy engine at the tail end of the spacecraft emitted a burst of faint golden light. During the jump, the spacecraft quickly came into contact with the void rift in the center of the crystal energy vortex and began to merge with the surrounding world barrier. A dim golden light film formed in time. Opened up, a layer of space was created in the pure darkness that was enough to protect order. According to the results of the last crystal energy scanning wave, the mathematical rate host of the spacecraft began to change the information representation of the entire fleet's environment, that is, the "void coordinates" of the entire fleet.

Soon, the fleet moved away from the fragment of the world that helped them gain a staged rebirth and disappeared into the void.

And among the world fragments, near the original first base, near a large gap in the main deck of the complex but completely silent space city group, countless huge crystals filled with destructive crystal energy exploded in the final preset program. broken.

World fragments, deleted.
