Star Empire

In the death wave natural disaster of unknown origin more than 10,000 years ago, almost all the foundations of the star civilization were wiped out.

Ten thousand years later, the little sparks left over from the old civilization have taken root again in the new world after going through struggles, tests and struggles, and life and hope will have the opportunity to bloom again.

In the process of resurgent civilization, reorganized worldview, and establishing one's own understanding of the world and the void, the remaining sense of crisis has never disappeared.

The birth of the Star Civilization is actually full of many doubts, because although according to the original evolution laws of the universe, such life can appear naturally, but in fact, there is no second life that can be regarded as homologous and equivalent to the Star Civilization. Home.

The different natures between the three major civilizations forced the empire to consider whether there might be some dangers buried within its own body.

Risks that can be considered.

…

"I see... Your Majesty, I understand." Feeling the skyrocketing population in the empire's overall network, Zhai Cahir nodded knowingly, "Your Majesty, I am confident that we can screen out all these possible problems. "

"Can it be done? If the risk is too high..."

"Your Majesty, according to our old concepts, if we really want to design such a creature with the potential for self-development, then we will inevitably set up a backdoor code. Such an information structure will allow us to directly pierce the surface of a piece of paper. center, and don't worry about the iron rings that protect the center of the paper - that's the level of the paper."

"Higher standards can naturally exist, but many times, they are not necessary. If Σ designed us and imposed various restrictions on us, then their restriction locks will inevitably be set to what they allow. Range boundaries…”

"But this is limited to the controller's own decision - I'm afraid that Σ really encountered major changes during that period and was no longer able to manage us. This caused the series of unknown states to appear but in fact it did not really happen. In the event of an incident, backdoor-restricted code often requires a rigorous launch process."

"Now, our development level has exceeded that previous limit - so now, I am afraid that no matter how secretive the backdoor setting is, it cannot escape our omnidirectional structural query."

"It was indeed too late when I thought of this problem..." At this point, Victorville was also a little scared, "Now the road we are facing suddenly opens up, but this also means... I am afraid that many times now, I can’t stop thinking about it…”

…

Restoration year 95.

After nearly a hundred years of population explosion, and after an unexplained mass cultivation failure of souls, Victorville's research team finally discovered clues in the huge soul information group.

A "backdoor hidden command" that is extremely secretive. Its placement method is very sophisticated compared to material creatures, and at the same time it is extremely dangerous. If compared to conventional material creatures, once this command is activated, its effect is no less than that of an instant. Delete every chemical bond in the organism.

"To be honest, I thought our "creator" would make this backdoor more secretive and difficult to deal with, so we would need to spend more effort."

Zhai Cahir breathed a sigh of relief, "We are currently screening and killing soul information on the entire network. I have to say that this backdoor command will only be dangerous when it is activated. If it is not activated... it can almost be regarded as No, its existence shows that once it is activated, it can produce a chain reaction of self-consistent collapse within the soul like a domino... But now, after our souls are integrated into crystal energy, in fact, such a chain reaction is almost It won't happen again...as long as we remove the specially marked domino..."

"But it can only be said that it is of little significance to us now, because it can be said that through complete accidents and good luck, we have grasped the truth to a certain extent."

Vidoville shook his head, "If it were the old federation era, such a backdoor command could wipe out everyone in the entire federation from the life level in an instant. In fact...if it weren't for a series of luck...we might not be able to do it at all. Probably standing here.”

"Is it still a test subject after all... It doesn't matter now. Anyway, wisdom and life exist. Whether it is naturally formed or created by outsiders, as long as the existence is the same - we learn to face this again. The new environment and the fetters of the old era... have also been cleared away, which... actually helps the development of new civilized laws, even if this is cruel to the old compatriots."

In Zhai Cahir's eyes, massive amounts of data quickly scrolled across the screen, indicating the progress of soul information checking, "And perhaps in some ways, we also want to thank our "creator", our soul and The previous body structure was highly compatible with crystal energy. The remaining body of the Zerg has almost no compatibility with crystal energy. This is especially true for the Theodal Empire... I don't know how to obtain a springboard for information manipulation by analyzing the information structure of the body and soul. And whether related technologies are normal in the void... But in my opinion, this part is also a very interesting springboard for our technological progress..."

"You did a good job. No matter what, such an invisible existence like a time bomb is a huge threat to us." A clear voice sounded in Victorville's mind, "Come here for a moment and connect to the Internet. The operations team has made new discoveries regarding arcane energy manipulation."

…

The edge of the world, the sixth hexagram, the arcane testing ground.

In the decades since Weisrifan joined arcane research, arcane energy, like crystal energy, can be extracted directly from the void through the space channel reactor and mass-produced. .

What is needed to create such information that is on the first order ladder of the void is a mathematical environment that can filter, or decay, the required information structure from the void.

And when such a "filter" is manufactured, as long as it is implanted into the information space channel, the order end and paradox end of the space channel will solve all the extraction process needs. Including the crystal energy reactor, this part of the purely mathematical environment in the space channel is reversely analyzed through the properties of high-level information - and part of the energy produced by the reactor will be returned to maintain this environment. Stable and solid.

By analyzing the specific structure of existing high-level information, the Empire can know their combination equations. Then, these super energies can be mass-produced in line with the current level directly through a formula-like method.

But on the other hand, since the current "solutions" are fixed, backtracking the solution process cannot achieve the effect of drawing inferences from one instance to other cases. There are countless types of order-level information theories that exist at the same level. But at present, it seems that this kind of result is not something that can be discovered in batches by just changing the parameters or the problem-solving process.

Therefore, the empire can only carry out such reverse engineering through existing, "naturally existing" high-level information, but it cannot find new equivalent existences on its own, nor can it directly shape the existing extraordinary information group to create a true sense of the world. Variations of - completely new information requires absolutely new models.

…

By using the mutation frequency that has been mastered, we can perform simulations that are as similar as possible. This is the highest level that can be achieved with current technology.

When the teleportation halo gradually extinguished, Victorville found himself standing in a place similar to an observation tower. Unlike huge buildings that often span dozens or hundreds of kilometers, the longest axis of the terrace under his feet may not exceed one kilometer. ——It can be called a miniature building.

"Look up." Along with the fluctuations that Vidoville was very familiar with, two other figures appeared beside him.

"Is that a... more "magical" method of operating arcane energy?" Victorville looked up and immediately discovered a very mysterious light and shadow suspended in the air not far away: this light and shadow flashed lavender. The light appears as a concentric-circle-like structure with irregular structure. The center of the structure is a slightly brighter core that looks very "dense" and somewhat radioactive.

On the "outside" of this core, there are several mysterious-looking symbols arranged on the arc tracks of each "concentric circle". A fold line extending from the center connects the bright core with several patterns. The entire light and shadow flicker silently, seeming to announce that it is ready for testing.

Weisrifan smiled slightly and waved his right hand gently into the air. In response, the light and shadow in the space not far away instantly burst out like a flame, but it flashed purple and showed an illusory appearance. Then, with a slight stroke of Weisrifan's right index finger, the wonders in space returned to their original state, as if nothing had happened before.

"The most intuitive first demonstration process has been completed. Now, Victorville gives you this, a lottery. I thought about it for a long time before I figured out how to embody this technique in the most intuitive way."

The Queen mysteriously handed Vidoville a light screen. Vidoville glanced at it and discovered that 9,999 of the 10,000 grids on the screen were marked with the exact same "Prize." ", and only in an extremely obscure and lonely square in the lower right corner is marked the pitiful word "no prize".

"Huh? Is this going to test my luck? To be honest, looking at this panel, I think it takes luck to not win."

Vidoville chuckled, and then connected his spiritual communication to the light screen. In one breath, the grid in the light screen flashed hundreds of times - the content displayed in the selected grid. , all are "prize-winning".

"The results look normal."

"Indeed, in the current experiment, the appearance of all sample points is random. For the system, this is the truth. Then wait and see what happens next and see if you can still call it normal."

Weisrifan made a gesture towards the piece of light and shadow, or something similar to a magic circle. The light path extending from the core changed the connection method in accordance with the Queen's will. Victorville noticed that this time the light path was changed. Some patterns were lit up, while the previous patterns slowly extinguished as if they had lost their energy supply. While Victorville was observing carefully, several phantom and real shadows flashed around him, as if something had come together in a mysterious way.

"Let's talk first. No matter what results are drawn later, don't be surprised. The entire empire network can prove that the terminal in your hand has not been invaded and set up a backend. What you will face later is a pure arcane magic. The result of the technique.”

"Why is it so mysterious?" Looking at Weisrifan and Zhai Cahir who were trying hard not to laugh, Vidoville couldn't help but feel guilty. However, less than a second later, in front of him, The fact made him instantly embarrassed - he had smoked hundreds of times, and the results were fixed at such a very low probability point every time!

"What... is this?" Vidoville looked at the light screen in his hand with confusion. Of course, he could feel the strange flow of information that seemed to be real and imaginary on the screen, but he never thought that this set of information The flow has such great power.

"To be honest, the "Event Curse" spell in magic description is called Probability Development Line Convergence. The original meaning of the Event Curse is to make something extremely bad but with a negligible probability happen to the target 100% of the time. , and if we adopt a broader understanding, it means that the probability of a small-probability event is superimposed with external uncertain factors and then collapsed at a fixed point until the event is inevitable."

"It's very interesting, this is really interesting." Vidoville kept nodding in admiration, "How does this system work?"

"The core in the center is the source of arcane energy output, and the concentric circles represent "arcane sentence sections" at different levels and with different control weights. The broken lines represent the sections required for a spell from activation to completion. What meanings need to be infused, and the complex pattern structures located on each concentric orbit are - runes of truth. They concisely assign values ​​to arcane energy with their own meanings, and ultimately create results. Of course, right now it only solves the problem of starting something from scratch – it still lacks a lot.”

"In addition, it can currently be confirmed that its effective weight is as high as the crystal energy, and it can affect each other when the assignment density gap and frequency gap are different."

"So... what is the source of the meaning of the Rune of Truth itself?"

"Derived from the first level of thought control, it is similar to the process of intelligent creatures giving external meaning to objective existences. To put it bluntly, it tends to be made up by the brain."

Wei Ruifan smiled, "According to our thinking, if we judge it according to the materialistic approach of the old era, the beginning of crystal energy-related technology can be equivalent to the need for us to do it, to make our own material entities interfere with reality and causing changes; and arcane power, or the beginning of magic that is highly consistent with arcane power, is to control arcane energy through the influence of one's own mental power, giving these original energies new meanings and making them available for one's own use - —This is a brand new knowledge system, and it may take us a long time to completely determine its control and operation methods. But at present, it seems that this approach can already make up for our previous shortcomings to a considerable extent."

"I understand, but if we only control arcane energy based on mental power-thinking derivation, there should be some instability in this process, right?" Vidoville recalled the operation process just described by Weisrifan, and then Immediately I discovered something that seemed unstable:

"If I understand correctly, the process of "circling" arcane energy by the first layer of mental power is simulated by equipment, and the source of the simulated mental power broadcast inherited in the simulated equipment should be ourselves, then in our cognition In , such a rune can be given certain meanings, but if our understanding changes as a whole, or there is a problem with the assignment of the first level of mental power... can the rune of truth still play a role?

"Well, the problem you are worried about exists, but don't worry too much about this part. The mystery of the truth rune set is not for fun to draw, but these runes themselves have the property of stabilizing their own meaning... That's right There are still problems with this part, and the relevant content is still under construction.”

"Currently, Zhai Cahir and I are constantly expanding the number of truth runes and simultaneously improving their quality - according to our current understanding, when everything in the void can finally be explained by this set of runes , even if this system finally matures. Of course, having said this, you can probably think of it in Vidoville. These technologies will probably never mature. Let’s skip this part for now; in fact, arcane operations, In other words, "magic technology" and "magic technology" are still secondary auxiliary existences related to mental power control here. These auxiliary existences can greatly reduce the difficulty of controlling arcane energy, and the real arcane system control hub, It is still the core of mathematics."

"Mathematical Rate Core? Chief Master, can arcana be completely controlled by the Mathematical Rate Core?"

"Well...the function of the core of mathematical rate is to perform fuzzy calculations of chaos matching. The crystal energy operating system only injects a medium into it. This medium can naturally be replaced by other similar entities. After all, it does not need to rely on A device that can only operate with a certain kind of information, but a device that matches and calculates information. The earliest mathematical rate device I made was powered by vacuum zero-point energy... At that time, in order to create a pure device that could match information. In the mathematics environment, I have lost all my ability. It seems that the finished product still had a lot of problems..."

"Zhai Cahir, are you a little absent-minded?"

"Hmm...Ah, Your Majesty." Zhai Cahir was all excited, "I have a strange feeling, it seems that there are some changes happening outside the barrier of our world. I can't perceive the specific details. I can only know , their intensity...oh no, the trend intensity is extremely high.”
