Star Empire

"...To be honest, I really don't think your action, Zhai Cahir, makes much sense."

Weisruifan crossed his arms and looked at the abstract picture in the holographic projection in front of Zhai Cahir. It was a collapsing frequency fragment, echoing information in the void.

"The world fragment itself is already a post-apocalyptic situation, and the entire situation it shows is just the remnants left after the world line, timeline, etc. were closed and broken, just like deleting a collapsed file. Afterwards, the remaining junk files were forcibly shredded again. After I completely cut off my connection with it, the world became an empty shell. Observing this cannot understand the true situation of the end of the world."

"Well, there should still be somewhere for reference."

Zhai Cahir turned off the holographic projection in front of him, "In that fragment of the world, there is still an invisible and insubstantial "soul" or "consciousness" with a huge amount of information comparable to a healthy universe. And such an existence, after being integrated into the soul of His Majesty Vesrifan, even gave the Queen the power to manipulate the order and laws within the world fragments - the connection seems to be one-way control. In this regard, I think it is necessary Put effort into analyzing this.”

"Didn't anything similar happen to be found in the home universe before?"

"No, but I think that is the mutation caused by "Σ" intervening in us, or that they hijacked this existence." Zhai Cahir replied, "There is an extremely special phenomenon worth noting. In the contaminated In Fragments of Order, when we fought against the unknown armies painted with the "Σ" symbol, the huge facility similar to a celestial fortress controlled the broken world barrier through countless black inexplicable threads when the world barrier shattered and the void intrusion began. Quick fix closed.”

"When His Majesty Weisrifan did the same thing, although it may not have been visible to your eyes before, I can confirm that the nature of the two things is exactly the same."

"Bind the consciousness of the world into the Celestial Fortress, and then use the advanced technology of the Celestial Fortress to analyze it, and then control the entire world?" Vidoville frowned, "If we want to control the entire universe, we don't need help. These backdoor powers are really unimaginable. Perhaps this is indeed a necessary measure to control the world, or it is a very convenient and stable method."

"That symbol, that civilization... I really feel very strange... Let's not talk about them, just from this current situation, we don't know whether this phenomenon is widespread, but if we can get enough inspiration from it, Then the universe may also be under our control..."

For some reason, Vidoville felt a little tired, reaching the source of his soul. He waved his hands feebly, "By the way, Lil, does deleting that fragment of the world really have no impact on your body and soul? After all, you I once had a very high degree of connection with that fragment of the world.”

"It's really okay, you don't have to worry too much." Wei Ruifan shook his head gently, and the long golden hair that was like a shawl shook lively, and a few strands jumped directly to the front. "There was a little discomfort when the edge of the world barrier was blasted for the first time, but this feeling quickly disappeared, and there was no other strange feeling in the subsequent small-scale void intrusion. I guess it was The "world consciousness" residing in my body has unilaterally cut off the sensory relationship between the world fragments and it, and replaced its original "senses" with my consciousness."

"It's possible. He probably also knows that creatures like us who need to live in "him" cannot understand or bear the thinking of a world, so he simply cuts off some connections. The one who feels this most clearly is you. I just Neng Yun will analyze it." When it comes to this, Victorville is still a little helpless, "Although there seems to be no problem at the moment, I always feel that the inexplicable consciousness is parasitic in your body."

"...Don't remind me with such a strange statement, and...anyway, His existence has helped us a lot!" Weisrifan's body trembled suddenly, "Also, you can't say Is that a soul-strengthening pendant? After all, it’s me who is facing this strange situation now! What you said makes me feel uncomfortable.”

".How about you tell me where that fragment of the world came from?" Although the atmosphere gradually became a little awkward, the emotional fluctuations caused by the return of more than 100 million living beings to the grid also affected the emotions standing here. Everyone, even though the topic was a bit strange, the lively and relaxed atmosphere made everyone unwilling to shut up. After a small silence, Victorville finally found a person who seemed to be able to take on the above but was also It's not an embarrassing topic.

"Haven't you guessed this many times? Although the remaining world barrier does not provide clear evidence, it is very possible that this world fragment is the "twin" that was previously close to our home universe. high."

Zhai Cahir replied, "It has been determined that within the vast void range that we know, apart from those two universes, there is no clear order frequency that can be explored. And the target It can be said that the universe shattered without any abnormality such as heat death or death wave invasion. This is quite strange in itself. Perhaps, this "world consciousness" had a premonition of the coming crisis, so it directly disintegrated most of it. The structure then used a small piece of debris to escape?"

"After escaping, the remaining world barrier could not completely close itself, so it continued to weaken during the migration process, until that super-large-scale information burst of unknown origin accidentally restored his blood? Then? Those chaotic information clutter also happened to disrupt His own natural frequency?"

Vidoville held his chin and thought about what happened next, "Anyway, we don't know the details, and we can't pursue it now... But if we consider all kinds of coincidences that are almost the same as ours... it is quite logical. But now I’m a little confused. The information representation of the world barrier or the frequency of the void should determine the “position” of the world in the void, right? Won’t such arbitrary changes cause problems? "

"I'm not too sure about this. Maybe it's just because the frequency is chaotic and meaningless that these world fragments can take advantage of the loopholes and run around? This area should still have relatively strict "laws", at least based on this series of laws Judging from the void navigation technology on board, this is the case.”

In this regard, Zhai Cahill and others did not put forward many definite explanations, "However, if you look at the space channel crystal energy reactor we recently developed and designed to carry "virtual frequency coordinates" at the void end, it will not In the case of large-scale changes to the world's frequency, it is possible to reset the "position" of a world in the void, but the technology related to it is still completely unknown."

"Well." After another period of silence, Vidoville said, "It seems that there is really nothing worth discussing for the time being?"

".It looks like this."

"Forget it, I'm going to take a rest. I've been cultivating immortals for thousands of years, and I can't move when I relax." Victorville waved his hand, brand-new and solid hull, brand-new technology, endless crystal energy , the appearance of these words can be said to have really given him a big breath to a certain extent, and what followed was the feeling of exhaustion after the spirit was relaxed - not as serious as the failure of the body or the dispersion of the soul, but not as serious either. What a comfortable experience. "By the way, Ikarim, how do you feel with your intact soul and your right leg?"

"Very well, Your Majesty."

As for the brand new equipment group and life group, in the process of adjustment, Victorville and others gradually began to realize that "all people with one heart and super individuality" is not a lofty concept of nothingness placed on the sky and sea lines, but a real reality. Now, the ideal that can be expected is even close at hand.

During the experiment, both Vidoville and Vesrifan discovered that since the new bodies carried a considerable amount of equipment that could only be equipped in large facilities, these new beings were no longer "uses" of the information collection network. Rather, it is more like a free node with personal intelligence that can be directly and completely integrated into the chaotic data network.

Just like the low-level computers in the original information collection network, it responds to the commands of the host and provides support for the upload and download of information throughout the network. The attempt to connect everyone's spirit and wisdom into nodes and then connect them to the network further deepens the advancement of "super-individuality". The original information collection network cannot be used due to the limited amount of arcane disturbed materials. It has spread to smaller and more comprehensive units, so although they are connected to the Internet, there is actually a considerable degree of isolation between everyone.

But now, after the two "main consciousnesses" mobilize the entire network, and each node can establish contact with each other with a simple spiritual call, the gap between living individuals can be said to have been greatly reduced. This was also the time when the "super-individual" was established The concept of civilized groups is what Essendel and Vidoville hope to achieve - relying on hard power to unify the resources and will of the entire civilization has limited effects. But now, it can be used as a "will center" to dominate the spiritual cluster of the entire civilization. It is obviously more natural and efficient to obtain the required will direction, calculation resources and other contents.

The old information collection network had collapsed, but some of its nodes were still preserved under the protection of Victorville and others at that time, and in the first generation of Ark in Exile, they became part of the consul's emergency measures. Sacrifice to preserve the most serious restrictive part of the whole, but as the death wave wreaks havoc, the culprit causing the expansion of the death wave bears most of the consequences of the control failure - the underlying protocol of this remaining network segment can almost be said to be completely destroyed , and such destruction also happened to give the old federal managers who were at the once high-level authority level all the authority to make modifications.

"Currently, one of the certain properties of the death tide is that it will lead to the destruction of order products, whether the order products are physical matter, energy, space or even the laws of the universe. And the destruction will occur at the micro level, or the "basic level." Start." In the new Ark flagship, Zhai Cahir is reassigning secondary protocols and addresses to other nodes through the highest host. "The information collection network should be said to have truly entered history at this point. It is brand new and can better integrate the entire The new spiritual link network that connects civilizations into a whole will connect the entire civilization into a closer whole.”

"Where's the security?" Vidoville crossed his arms, feeling the ever-beating and expanding information network in his mind and the ever-beating curves, matrices and chaos equations in the holographic projection in front of him, "After all, we've already eaten it once I lost money on the Internet.”

"Safety is the limit we can consider at present." Zhai Cahir nodded solemnly, "First of all, the connections between nodes are filled with high-frequency crystal energy. For the dead tide, this is an absolute means of purification. It is not like once using the level of arcane energy to obtain super-light speed conveniences, so that the death wave can also take advantage of it. There are conveniences between each authority layer, but once activated, the information firewall is almost indestructible. At the same time, once the entire network segment In the event of a threat, high authority levels can cut off contaminated network segments. At the same time, high-level nodes also have special downward "circuit break" methods and anti-trigger mechanisms. If there is large-scale turmoil in lower-level nodes leading to information contamination, the "fuse" will Cut the connection before excessive contamination penetrates.”

"Yes, very good." Vidoville nodded slowly, "But you still have to pay attention at all times. Whether it is the results you obtained from theoretical research or the real loopholes exposed by encountering the death wave in the future, they must be repaired at any cost. , and, for the stable operation of the "super-individual", the stability of the authority system must be the highest. Civilization is being reorganized. Once the center collapses, the will of civilization that has just begun to gather will disintegrate."

"Your Majesty." Zhai Cahir looked at the Star Emperor next to him, "Excuse me, you seem to be quite concerned about the authority issue?"

"Perhaps, at least I hope to really lead this civilization to revival, and now, having authority is a necessary hard method." Vidoville thought for a while, but still did not intend to defend his thinking.

"I have always suspected that the unprecedentedly huge "Σ" facility may have been secretly exerting mental hints on us, which made many people in a state of numbness or so-called rationality for a long time. And after we left Mother World, and after that huge fortress was destroyed by the attack of the death tide and the void, the spiritual suggestion was probably also cancelled."

"You should also feel it - we are ordinary people, people who still have feelings and some desires. We can only try our best, but we cannot yet be focused on doing a job or career absolutely impartially without any other consequences. Thoughts, such as the current authority.”

"However, this is just a manifestation of our unopened thinking and limited vision... They should gradually disintegrate in the long history and endless resources. In fact, most of the reasons for management and hierarchy are based on limited resources. Rank and level determine the uneven distribution of resources in almost every era, and everyone expects to have more resources, so they hope to have higher authority."

"Now, the resources themselves will become endless. Perhaps in the long history, these permissions will be transformed into more responsibilities and obligations, and will no longer be the key factor in determining resource allocation." Vidoville sighed, "After all, even if our souls and thoughts are modified, until the influence of inertia is truly removed, we are still mortals, not gods."

".Mortal?" Zhai Cahir also fell into silence, "The accumulation is still not enough."
