Star Empire

"Directly establish a physical communication line floating in the void... To be honest, I have always wanted to ask what the past world did wrong." Vidoville looked up and down at Zhai Cahir. ——Although he knew this way of handling it, and even asked many people about it several times, he still couldn't understand it, or in other words, he could never let himself handle the problem in that way.

"I know that the theoretical stagnation in the past had a great impact on scientific research and also had a profound psychological impact on you, but... at least these problems are gone now. At least you can always choose something softer and more consistent. Have you figured out your identity...?"

"Your Majesty, you cannot deny that with sufficient resources, we no longer have to worry about economy, efficiency and cost. The previous methods that required multiple operations were actually to further improve the accuracy of experiments. , or to magnify some microscopic content that cannot be directly seen by us... Now that we have enough resources and almost no restrictions, we naturally have to turn all our ideas into reality—— Nowadays, everything is advancing at a rapid pace. I personally think that doing so can pay tribute to the old times and reflect the inherent advantages we have now that we are extremely rich in resources..."

"...I don't need a history class." Vidoville shook his head and quickly waved his hand to Zhai Cahir to stop.

"You can do whatever you want. I believe that sooner or later you will be able to directly fill the void into a solid one. Get the Eighth Fleet back as soon as possible, and then come up with a corresponding theoretical system, especially various proprietary All the nouns have to be drawn up and explained in advance. I feel embarrassed when I mention this. Even though I have never learned about assigning meanings, Calost still insists on asking me to come up with names for fleet ships and facilities... It’s too embarrassing for me.”

"Understood, I'll do it right away." Before Vidoville could finish speaking, Zhai Cahir left jokingly.

…

When standing on the land of the capital star and looking into space, there will always be moving light spots in the field of vision. Even if the multi-layered information perspective is not used, the golden glow released by the crystal energy propulsion equipment will not be affected. Limited by the speed of light barrier. And if the structure of the universe itself is more complex, with more dimensions intertwined at one point, these crystal energy light clusters may even be brighter and larger, and seem to be closer in front of you.

When more dimensions exist in nature, the ways in which spatial curvature exists will also be richer. A point may be equally far away in three dimensions from two distant observatories, but in four dimensions, one point may be close while the other point is quite far away. However, this can only block conventional physical displacement methods, but it cannot block the glow of crystal energy - it can even make the nature of the glow of crystal energy that can act on all dimensions more obvious.

If a device like the one developed by Ikarim could be put into practical use, the high-level power of crystal energy in all dimensions would be harnessed in a truly valuable way: all cosmological constants are related to each other. , and as long as covariation processing can be performed, it can be said that all constant systems can be installed in an interactive interface and then modified, added or deleted.

After watching the groups of golden light spots in the distant space suddenly accelerate and disappear into the depths of space, Vidoville gently held up his right hand, and a stream of light outlined a complex and slightly strange shape on the top of his palm. Strange emblem.

The Federation no longer exists, the Council of Three Wise Men has perished, and the emblems of the old era have lost their meaning.

Therefore, after discussion and design with Vesrifan, Vidoville merged the emblem symbolizing the Federation and the Triangular Constellation with the emblem of the two swords, but at this time, one of the two swords was replaced with a scepter. , the coat of arms has also been reorganized from pure force to the meaning of domination; and the golden branches are no longer an inverted star triangle, but a former wonder - through Zhai Cahir more than 10,000 years ago What you can see from the terminal control tower of the "Information Matching Test Base" space station built by Cavinrel and others when looking at the space tunnel left behind by the long wall of the warped world. The twin towers are facing the Star of the Star, from The distorted starlight of the inner and outer universe converges here, which happens to be perfectly integrated with this building.

However, at the moment, this emblem has not been officially activated.

Vesrifan warned Vidovir: Within his huge soul body, it is like a huge deep pool that detects neutrino decay, and some originally hidden information influences will passively emerge from the tranquility.

She can feel that as the size of civilization continues to grow, some new information disturbances created by the star civilization itself are quietly expanding. Under such circumstances, anything of great significance within the civilization When it is updated, or when a certain pattern or emblem is given meaning, its impact is no longer limited to the conventional level, and the current national emblem issue falls into the latter category.

An emblem should have more practical meaning, and even really become a tool that can be used, rather than just a cluster of patterns that are hung on a battleship or a building control tower for people to see. The more precise suggestion that Weisruifan gave in this regard is to announce and launch this emblem at the same time as the release of major results of the entire network after the completion of the three main lines and the four basic tasks, so that the emblem can match the greatness of civilization. Progress can truly make a difference.

Vidoville agrees with this view and approach.

…

January 21, 124 AD.

Zhai Cahir has found the former "route" of the Eighth Fleet and conducted several short and messy communications with the Eighth Fleet, but the quality of the communications itself was extremely low - due to the lack of two major "Order World Networks" Following the translation method between the composition laws of the void diffusion order, the communication from a certain network cannot be clearly and completely transmitted between the two order world networks.

Even if there are sporadic communication contacts, it is impossible to rely on these windows that cannot be accurately quantified to expand the communication network. From the communication noise of the Eighth Fleet, Zhai Cahir learned that the Eighth Fleet happened to be in the middle of a large-scale information deviation jump when it crossed the "hole" between the two "ordered world networks".

The process points of information movement can only show how much information difference is required for the fleet to reach the world of order. It cannot provide an accurate void coordinate. Therefore, there are actually other difficulties in completely repairing these problems. However, the actual situation of accidentally entering such an area twice may show that even if the Void Order World Network is really changed, various methods based on information offset can still be established.

This can only be said to be good or bad - at least it won't require a separate set of void engines to be built for each such "network". The bad, or not so good, part is that from a civilizational perspective, each order world network overlaps with everything else and is difficult to distinguish. When encountering such a situation, it is even more difficult, because you must go through a little experiment to find these "abnormalities" hidden under the normal. There is no doubt that this requires unimaginable resources and patience.

However, for the current star civilization, resources and patience are the least cherished existences.

…

Now, Vidovir is not in the capital planet. He is riding an Immortal-class A1-type dreadnought with Vesrifan and almost all second- and third-level individuals in the center of the universe, where , Ikarim has completed his mission: to build an unparalleled heavy weapon that can further control the world by controlling the heart of the world. Now, this behemoth is floating quietly hundreds of thousands of kilometers away from the spacecraft. In outer space.

This behemoth, which can be regarded as an important weapon of the empire, was produced at such a fast speed. This event can't help but make people who survived the Federation era feel extremely surprised - not to mention the depressive situation of the Federation in the end. The Great Stagnation, looking closer, when analyzing the Σ creation in the fragments of the world, it took hundreds of years to figure out which parts represent the meaning of imaginary numbers when there are multiple intact samples. And all the actions after that were almost based on the mathematical rate reverse analysis and reproduction bit by bit according to the structure that can be observed and contacted-the function of the creation finally copied by the empire was compared with the original creation. It must be greatly compromised - just because the imaginary number reactor of Σ Creation does not need charging and maintenance at all, and can maintain its own structure intact in a state of absolute silence, it is almost impossible for the empire to achieve it.

Not to mention, it is still a pure black box - the empire only knows that this can achieve such an effect, but when asked why... Zhai Cahill bluntly said that perhaps self-analysis requires more than just time...

The countless seemingly insurmountable difficulties in the past are in sharp contrast to the "simple" success now - and this is where surprise arises.

But for people who are born in such a state of rapid progress, this is just another progress among countless major achievements. Moreover, these feelings are actually not accurate. If they are measured by a strict knowledge system, people will find that these seemingly sudden achievements basically have comprehensive and solid theoretical support.

The empire maintains a large number of information models used to analyze the structure of the world. The Federation itself has a strong theoretical reserve. After the emergence of crystal energy, the short-lived glory in the blockade area also created a large number of information models - they might have been used to match some accidental phenomena and could only be used to perform the most basic information-matter transformation. But now, they are an important foundation to help the empire understand and then control the world.

Back in the Federation era, although no one knew about the existence of that strange fortress at that time, the Federation's own research on the universe had reached its peak on that basis, plus Zhai Cahir's connection with the artificial information accidentally captured Many deep thoughts on the thread, and research on Vesrifan's ability to control the fragments of the world...

The foundation built up by time and hard work is deep enough, and it should be rewarded.

…

From the appearance point of view, the device itself does not adopt the shape of a planet. It is more like a rotating body, a rotating body similar to two sets of inverse proportional function curves spliced ​​together and rotated 180 degrees around the vertical axis. It is quite Like a top.

However, it is obvious that this top is too big - the distance between the corresponding end points of the curve pattern before it rotates is eight thousand kilometers. There may not be many existences that can play with such a large top.

Now, the universe as a whole is in a state of stasis, and the heart of the world is currently under control. Different from the previous world shutdown, this time not only the outside world has stopped, but even the heart of the world itself has stopped. Right now, it's protected by the shell of its own external thinking circuit, waiting to be reactivated.

"A system self-test is completed...all verification models are correct, and all hardware is working normally..."

"The secondary system self-inspection is completed. All verification redundant modules are normal, the system redundancy is sufficient, the space channel crystal energy reactor array is in normal working condition, the backup output redundancy is normal, the shield system is normal, and the emergency stop push module effect Normal, the emergency banishment module works normally..."

"Finally the system self-inspection is completed...the whole system is in good self-consistency."

Looking at the reports flashing across their eyes, Vidoville and Weisrifan looked at each other and paid attention to the reactions of everyone behind them.

"Turn on."

"The order has been issued, release the World Heart Information Line, and activate the Cosmic Benchmark Stabilizing Anchor!"

Following Ikarim's order, the pale golden surface of the huge device known as the "Cosmic Base Stabilizing Anchor" suddenly revealed a layer of magnificent brilliance, and the crystal matrix inlaid on the two tips and the equatorial ring began to be illuminated. Lit up one after another, some arc-like information light flows between the "equator" and the "celestial pole".

Through the crystal energy shield of the spaceship, Vidoville, Vesrifan and others can also feel how powerful the energy filled by this giant facility is - Ikarim's previous explanation has been perfect: the universe's baseline is stable. The actual function of the anchor is actually to set the thinking circuit for the external evolution of the heart of the world. It must not only have enough ability to verify massive amounts of information, but also must have the ability to shape and maintain a pure mathematical environment powerful enough to provide the world with The stable existence and evolutionary function of the heart, therefore, the energy circuit in this facility is currently the most powerful of all creations in the entire empire.

In the process of continuous charging, those golden bright lines that seemed to be materialized magnetic field lines also became apparent. They were ejected from the equatorial crystal matrix of the cosmic benchmark stabilizing anchor, and then converged at the two poles. , but obviously this is not the scene that should appear when this facility is finally put into operation.

In the next moment, all the golden threads suddenly broke apart from the most "bulging" middle part at almost the same time, and a brilliant burst of information was born in the universe, and the countless broken threads , are the lines of world information that have been compiled and broadened. At the moment when the restrictions are lifted, they span time and space and are eventually submerged into everything in the universe - if broken down, even every quark or even more Small particles have such a thread connected to the cosmic benchmark stable anchor.

After a brief silence, the frozen picture began to move again - perfectly integrated with the scene before the fragment, without any systematic errors.

"Retrieval, all arguments have been correct, all possible necessary situations have been considered, and it is confirmed that the conversion and translation part of the fragmented information and concept module is currently stable." After a long period of debugging, this final stability feedback was finally submitted.

"Now prepare to start various functional tests." Ikarim ordered seriously. He must confirm that the device in front of him can indeed use the heart of the world to operate the universe.

"The speed of light in the micro-point test area of ​​the first hexagram is reduced to 300,000 kilometers per second. The test begins. The difference in constants and the corresponding effects of the real environment and material are recorded..."

"The test of adjusting the attitude and orbital position of the selected planet in the target area has begun. The tilt angle of the Earth's axis has increased by fifteen degrees and moved to the "Northern Hemisphere Summer Solstice" position..."

"Within the regional structure, experiments on rearrangement of conflicting law entries are started, and compatibility testing between information bodies..."

"This world's void coordinate transfer verification has begun...starting to detect whether world-class void "displacement" can be carried out..."

…

"Your Majesty, all the test projects have been completed." After seriously reporting to the two star emperors, Ikarim solemnly announced to everyone:

"The results of all experiments show that the function of the cosmic benchmark stabilizing anchor fully matches its design goals. According to our current view, this universe is already under our control."

"From this moment on, all the laws and order of this universe will be taken over and managed by the Star Empire!"
