Star Empire

"Anyway...tsk, are you asking too much?"

Cavinriel looked at the general in front of him strangely, like a researcher who was curious about why an outsider stretched his hands so far, "The federal authority system ensures that everyone can retrieve the knowledge they need. There is no need at all. Ask others, even if your permission tree does not fully support the understanding of this knowledge, it is not completely blocked, so why should I..."

"...What? What did you just say?"

"Um...oh, you just showed a strange attitude towards us. There is nothing wrong with our development theory."

Cavinrel ignored the general's suspicion, "In the next period of time until the space annihilation bomb is produced, all we can do is continue to maintain a steady state environment for people infected with crystallization disease and see what kind of consequences will occur. Change, other than that it’s just daily routine, what do you think, General?”

"That's the case at the moment." Kalost shrugged, "A batch of new space annihilation bombs are being produced as quickly as possible. Fortunately, the federal law stipulates that if a region implements the highest level of blockade measures, then the highest-ranking military officer in the blockade area will The person will be the commander and have emergency authority, otherwise I really wouldn’t be able to build this thing alone. The network structure is working well, which is a blessing.”

"In addition, there are a new batch of shield generators online. The shield array at the frontline base has been confirmed to be exposed to a state of gradual crystallization. We must defend this wall as much as possible...even if it is only temporary. And it can only be effective within a certain range.”

"How are ordinary federal citizens who moved within this region after the emergency closure? How are they doing now?"

"It's not a big problem. When I received the order, federal rules and my subsequent dispatch orders began to move all ordinary citizens in this area to large federal space stations farther away. Nearly half of them are now distributed in Among the limited starry sky, half is relatively close to the hub - this is delineated according to the evacuation and isolation methods of dangerous existences. The plan is mature and there is no problem."

"The first unknown radiation impact caused serious interference to the information collection nodes here. However, before building this place, I ordered a part of the Guards Army to notify the colonial points everywhere. Fortunately, this entire area is close to the boundary of the universe. , it was originally very desolate and had not been controlled for a long time, so there were not many colonial points.”

"In addition, it seems that the distance over which radiation has a direct impact is not too long at present. Beyond hundreds of thousands of light-years, it basically only has visual effects and effects on those ultra-precision sensors. The coverage of chaotic environmental pressure is limited. , will not endanger life. Judging from the current network segment that is temporarily authorized to be closed and maintained to operate independently... there are no casualties."

"However, the sudden increase in population has put considerable pressure on those resettlement sites. Although the space station's life-support system has sufficient redundancy, it is somewhat overwhelmed by adding so many loads at once."

"Well... we can restart some remote area settlements. Over the past period of time, we have learned a little bit about the harmful nature of these phenomena. Many settlements in this area are actually safe. Of course, to be on the safe side, we can reopen the settlements A temporary battleship-level shield generator is installed outside."

Cavenriel thought for a moment, "Perhaps, when I first suggested that the Archon seal off this area, I might be a little overly worried... I should be here to prove that it is not that dangerous, but it seems that any decision we make After black box expansion, the impact will become huge..."

"You did nothing wrong. I have been watching it for more than a month. I remember everything you said to me when you came. Moreover, we have not yet clarified the real harm of this abnormal phenomenon close to the core. It is possible that now It’s just that it hasn’t exploded yet. The most important thing is that no matter what situation things develop, no matter whether they are controllable or not, we must do everything we can for the sake of the Federation.”

During this period of time, Kalost has long been accustomed to the way science officers talk - even if it is for a goal, the methods are similar, but they always bring pressure to people.

"...It should be so." Cavinriel was silent for a moment, and suddenly looked in one direction. Kalost saw that the moment Cavinriel's sight was confirmed, his eyes suddenly became extremely deep, and in his In his eyes, the entire starry sky was reflected.

"Look, Star of the Stars." Cavernrel shared the field of view formed by multiple optical/light speed compensation systems to Kalost. The moment the synchronization was completed, Kalost's attention was attracted.

It is true that the golden abnormal vortex five thousand light years away from the frontline base has both visual and soul perturbations, but it is too violent and brings desperate momentum and pressure; and in " Star Star” has a completely different scene:

If the viewing angle is too far, the Star Star will look like a dome of a starry cage, but if you look at it from a close distance, on a layer of mirror that faintly shows a crystal texture, the light of the stars from the distance is magically absorbed. Twisted and stretched, the original light spots dotted on the dark curtain turned into unpredictable silver-white threads.

At the only exit of the warped space, all the mutated starlight within the entire warped range converged here, turning what was originally the most normal area into a bottomless black hole.

Under the influence of the nature of warped space, the starlight projected from the entire universe with an unknown history of hundreds of millions of years became more and more brilliant as it continued to gather, and then stopped abruptly here, as if all possibilities and all destiny , all of them are slipping like a point, and then entering an incomprehensible realm.

If there is no human disturbance, it may take billions of years for its light to reach here - warping the long wall will distort a considerable range and thickness of space, but compared to the real astronomical figures, that "thickness" can be said to be thin Like cicada wings.

Under the network broadcast that still maintains operation, it will be broadcast at a very fast speed and can be seen anywhere. It should... also be remembered by everyone in the entire federation.

"…here is a door."

"If this is really a door, then what is hidden behind the dark door? Star civilization has developed and grown with the stars as totems, and now..."

======================

The capital of the Star Federation, the DH-33 Triangular Constellation, the federal operation and management center.

Westrivan is sifting through more than a month of advanced summary reports.

The two previous extremely explosive events, which manifested "action at a distance" in nature and could be observed by the entire universe, were the golden vortex structure that could be observed by the entire universe and the emergency blockade of the main matter range of more than ten trillion trillion cubic light-years in the federal society. It caused a certain impact, but the response of the Archon and the Odosil Council was also very quick.

In addition, the highly rational thinking of federal citizens now acted as a restraint in time. After discovering that the phenomenon was harmless at a distance, although the entire federation experienced some fluctuations in a short period of time, it quickly returned to normal.

People have paid attention to this matter, but after part of the information was made public, the originally vague thoughts were also silenced for a short period of time - because everyone knows that outside the scope of their own intervention, any worries and unnecessary Any concern will slow down efficiency.

However, the top federal officials did not relax their vigilance, because the properties of this abnormal and unknown structure, including super-distance propagation and crystallized destruction of the color core armor, turning it into an unrecorded structure, were too shocking.

Even if all known powers can overwhelm mountains, crush planets, or even drag entire galaxies into a space storm and crush them, the Federation has nothing to fear from them, because all their properties and laws are governed by the laws of the universe. Under the constraints, if there are means of attack, there are means of defense.

However, the existence of this anomaly that can treat worldly forces equally, and whose secondary derivatives can dismantle color core armor as if it were wood fiber, must at least exceed the physical level. Then, such an incomprehensible and indefensible anomaly, no matter how many No matter how small it is, enough attention should be paid to it.

Not to mention this huge golden vortex that is hundreds of light-years in size, and has such a wide range of influence that it will start to interfere with information collection and communication at a distance of two billion light-years.

Deep in the planet fortress at the core of the Grand Triangular Constellation, a huge data flow once again flowed through the mind of the Archon. Between the multi-threaded thinking, the memory of the Federation once again emerged in the subconscious of the central coordinator:

"...The management system of the Star Federation can be determined. The Great Council of Odosil is the embodiment of the will of all citizens of the Federation. Its history can be traced back to the Star Federation, the Modori Zerg and the Theodal Empire billions of years ago. The war period, and its predecessor is even older, so that some relevant information has been partially forgotten..."

"This is the culmination of the early star civilization's attempt to truly use the power of all the people of the country. The Federation has discovered long ago: outside the battlefield, when the country is stable and citizens can live for themselves and for the country, fairness and freedom can Give citizens a greater passion for life, and the entire civilization will be more creative and cohesive than under repressive policies."

“When the consuls are elected under this kind of government, every member of the parliament has equal qualifications. Based on their own logical theories, they will make a plan that reflects their abilities and the direction they will guide the future of the federation... "

"Federal citizens use this to vote, electing as governors the congressmen whose theories and goals best meet the needs of most individuals. Although from that time on, the logical thought control plug-in began to operate in the minds of these people, but in this case In a vast and comprehensive environment, and in the influence of each person's still existing personality, every plan is ultimately unique - this is the responsibility and should be done by the higher being."

"The people's obligation is that after being given the right to vote, they themselves should use the highest degree of thinking to cast their votes for the candidate they think is the most suitable. Since the screening process is quite long, such an activity cannot Not common.

…

Once an Archon is chosen, this person will have the highest authority in the Federation and be accountable to the Council of Aldosil.

In emergencies, the consul has a certain degree of legal immunity, but must issue a logical and material explanation that can be verified in reality afterwards. In the case of a national disaster or emergency without parliamentary approval, if If more than 40% of the citizens of the Federation believe that the governor is contrary to their original intention of election, then the entire impeachment process will be initiated.

At the earliest stage, his authority will be temporarily frozen and handed over to the Odosil Council for review. If more than 50% of the citizens hold the above attitude, then he will be removed and demoted to a councilor again, and the consul will be The second-place finisher from the last election was taken.

When this system was first tried, more than a dozen consuls were dismissed in succession, and even the predecessor of the Odosil Council was disrupted and shut down. However, with the stability of the system and the widespread use of logic plug-ins, this The situation has also been reduced to an extremely rare level. In these more than 10 billion years, the issue of retrial by an archon has only occurred once..."

…

"There is a lot of time...it seems to pass by us quietly invisibly. We have experienced a long time, but...they seem to have no thickness..." Facing the memories that emerged from the scattered threads, a vague feeling Contradictions and doubts about appointments quietly appear at some point - these habits seem to have little meaning, and there is no need for them to be remembered so often..."

…

"In the period of history directly to the present, no matter what, even if the final authority is limited, the elected person will retain a minimum term, and at the same time, the authority will not be extended.

Of note are the later additions of the Military Archon and Arbiter computers.

Logic plug-ins will not completely offset the emotional fluctuations caused by personality..."

"This also means that if the consul is in an extreme emotional state, the possibility of him making irrational decisions or having problems with his logic will be greatly increased."

"The most serious example is that on the eve of the destruction of the Modori Zerg, the federal army defeated the Zerg's largest main force at the time in the current IV-DG76 galaxy, forcing them all to retreat to the deepest part of the galaxy.

Encouraged by the successive victories, the consul and all military commanders at the time issued orders to continue the attack, and the output of the logic component was to retreat for repairs, conduct reconnaissance, and test ultra-long-range firepower.

Then, under Rui Jin's order, 40% of the Federation's main battleships and 60% of its auxiliary battleships at that time all entered this narrow interstellar corridor. However, what awaits them is complete destruction.

The Modori Zerg do not have the concept of technology, but they have very strong innate abilities, and this innate ability can also be changed later in life, and its scope of effect is unimaginable. In the face of a contest that has no chance of winning, Mo Dori has no chance of winning. The leader of the Dori Zerg chose to gather all the power of the remaining Zerg Swarm in an attempt to destroy the Federation fleet.

They did it.

After all the federal warships responsible for that battle entered the small space between the stars, a huge and bright total reflection mirror surrounded them and all the remaining Zerg. In this warped and closed space bubble, those Zerg He squeezed out all his remaining energy and created the largest super-regular coordinate superposition space in history, which was the "charge" of the space annihilation bomb.

Thirty percent of the Federation's military strength was wiped out in that unparalleled storm. Among the subsequent effects on the Federation, there was also a restricted space.

Some people speculate that that explosion may have even penetrated the eleven-dimensional barrier whose nature has not yet been completely determined, causing some existences that cannot be contained by the macroscopic world to exist in the main material plane for more than one femtosecond. Even the power of the universe cannot heal the aftermath of such an impact.

Now, even color nuclear power probes must be authorized to go to this area; and except for operators with military ranks below the generals of the Guagan Division or equivalent official positions, it is an absolutely restricted area. "

…

"After this accident, the Aldosil Council made two major changes: First, a new existence was added to the highest authority that will never go offline, that is, the "Arbiter". It has no personality and is in the highest authority. There wasn't even intelligence in the beginning: the earliest "arbiter" was a giant database.

It stores a large number of logical relationships, degrees of rationality, logical thinking and data-reality mapping functions of its practices, as well as almost all relevant cases. When the event weight exceeds the threshold, it will participate in the judgment together with the Archon. If the difference between the Archon's and its output results exceeds 40%, it will be deemed that the Archon's approach is illogical and the execution risk is extremely high, and must be carried out. After the external logic model is processed, a second judgment is made. If the difference between the two results exceeds 50%, the Archon's order will be refused.

The second is to dismantle the military part from the original system and turn it into a specialized block. The original various headquarters and military marshal positions are cancelled. The army is directly responsible to the military consul, and the military consul reports to Otto. The Hill Council is responsible. "

“In a war environment, the original single consul needs to handle too many affairs and often needs to visit the front line in person, which may lead to the consul dying in the line of duty and leaving a management gap in the entire federation.

Although this will not cause the state machine to stop, the full service period of a consul is very long. What they do is to move forward towards the goal of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of years. It is very dangerous to replace the new consul rashly. There may be a huge waste of resources.

Therefore, the "high security" group responsible for most of the federal governance work and daily stability work was merged into the "operational governor", while the more dangerous "low security" groups such as development, war, and hazardous environment rescue were If the points are divided, the new "military consul" will be responsible for everything - the consul is only responsible for steering, and the massive details are returned to the corresponding federal citizen levels and organizations within their capabilities. The cold system that can only transmit logic gate judgments will Accurately deliver briefings between different levels, connecting micro details to macro operations. "

…

"The screening of all reports at the river system level and above has been completed. Except for the isolation of some areas in the third hexagram, all distortions in the rest of the universe are currently within the acceptable range; all colonies have completed the personality and soul screening. Discover any memetic contamination that can spread at scale.”

Accompanied by the emotionless AI synthesized sound, Weisrifan slowly opened her eyes. As the bright silk thread extending from the back of her head slowly disappeared, the holographic windows originally arranged around her also disappeared in batches. go.

The data flow is all gone.

Looking at the disappearing holographic window, Weisrifan breathed a sigh of relief, and his expression suddenly relaxed.

At present, it seems that no news is the best news.
