Star Empire

"Please speak more clearly.".

"Okay, Your Excellency. At present, after screening and analyzing our data, we can confirm the form of the source of the disaster when the death wave disaster broke out - a building that any observer can always observe from any direction. The "gate" appears as a black two-dimensional perfect circle. Under certain conditions, the original stability of the gate itself seems to be destroyed. After the original stability of the gate is broken, the powerful death wave pollution Flooded out of the gate, and the level of destruction in the world was greatly increased."

At this point, Orif paused for a moment:

"Sorry, Chief, we have tried our best to sample, but... I'm sorry, we still haven't been able to get any samples that can be called death tides. The samples we obtained at that time were all covered with black and red two-dimensional patterns. And they have strong pollution capabilities, but after we sealed them into the crystal energy constraining field, the samples themselves slowly collapsed."

"I am very grateful that you were able to persist in fighting in such an environment without causing heavy casualties or being invaded, and you could even think of collecting samples. In fact, I even doubt that even if the death wave has an entity of its own, it will not be able to survive at all. It cannot be observed by us - its own nature is to dismantle and destroy information. In this case, any of our sights and any detection methods can be regarded as hoping to use the role of information to obtain feedback and then explore some aspects of the target. Nature, then since the information used as an observation method will be directly destroyed by the death wave, then naturally we will not get any feedback results."

Zhai Cahir waved his hand and said, "Please continue. I feel that your conjecture has great reference value."

"Okay, when we gathered all the artillery fire of the entire fleet to directly straf the space, the gun line of the light spear swept across the location where the Death Tide Gate should have been before, but when the crystal energy impact slowly swept through the space and cleared out We have a relatively "clear" view, but the Death Tide Gate no longer exists. We are very sure that if the shelling force at that time had directly come into contact with the Death Tide Gate, huge changes would have occurred anyway - before Just the disturbance caused by the previous range of firepower is enough for it to explode, but..."

"Although the area swept by the beam was in chaos at that time, there was no space that was more chaotic than other locations. The instability of the detector network at that time was already very high, so I did not refer too much to the data at that time, but Those data also reflected a possibility at that time: the death tide pollution had stopped growing at some point before the salvo. Therefore, I guess that the death tide gate is likely to receive strong external interference and release After a strong enough pollution, it disintegrated on its own.”

"If you put it this way... it is not impossible, but in that case, how to explain the death wave pollution that appeared in our home universe? During the period of our last resistance, the infected death wave derivatives have been constantly The entire universe is being pulled towards destruction, and even an existence like the Warp World Wall, which is already a bit like a barrier to the world, cannot stop it!"

"Albeck, calm down." Orif rolled his eyes at him, "When the death wave broke out, none of us knew what the source of the death wave looked like. Is the source of that disaster the same as ours this time? It’s hard to say.”

"And don't forget, it is almost certain that there were huge unknown creations of Σ in our universe at that time, and the huge mutations of the Σ creations most likely revealed that they also suffered a huge impact in that disaster. The creation of Σ itself is a huge variable, so big that we may not be able to imagine it now. If they have a more in-depth study of the death tide, it is completely reasonable to produce more situations that we cannot guess! That building looks like melted asphalt The celestial level fortress can drag a piece of world structure across the void!"

"Calm down!" Zhai Cahill directly used his high authority to stop the argument between the two, "Stop worrying about the details that we can no longer trace! After all, our current experience is still too little, and what we have recorded is There are too few things. One or two accidental phenomena can have reference value, but we cannot freeze our thinking here! If we want to know more about the situation, we... need... to record several more samples."

"Well, if you look at it from the perspective of scientists, this sounds good, but after all, it will still cause serious damage and a catastrophe."

Vidoville let out a long sigh, "To be honest, we couldn't predict the emergence of the Death Tide Gate. We can't guarantee how we will encounter them in the future. Considering the short-term safety of the entire empire, I naturally can't I hope that this kind of terrible disaster will happen again, and even the benchmark stability anchor of the universe will be greatly disturbed by the Gate of Death. If that kind of existence appears directly in our territorial universe, I am afraid we will face greater losses..."

"But in the long run, if this is really a destructive phenomenon in the void or something that really exists, then we must find a way to study it clearly. Maybe we will pay a price in the short term, but the result is The whole civilization thing.”

"Then, in fact, it is necessary to draw experience from a rich enough reality in the process of civilization development. What is there to worry about." Weisruifan did not directly use the mental network, and his crisp voice swept through the conference hall of the capital star, This voice seemed to have power, and part of the oppressive atmosphere was dispelled.

"It's all for the progress of the empire, so why should anyone care about this? Vidoville seems to have said that you can sacrifice it if conditions permit, right? As long as you collect the information every time, if disaster really strikes again, It would be nice to be stronger than last time and gain something. Okay, let’s not talk about the death wave, let’s talk about something more relaxed. In terms of the precise use and control of arcane energy, there is also the promotion of arcane basics. In terms of power simulation equipment, we have begun to achieve small-scale and accurate mass production of some equipment. However, there are also defects related to this, that is, dissipation and instability, and recharging also contains many or Direct or indirect trouble..."

"Lil, I know what I said, and I also know that you need to face a lot of pressure when facing an absolutely new field, but...it is true that the meeting can be regarded as over. What you plan to say is to do this. what?"

"Of course we are taking the researchers away!" Weisrifan slammed the table and stood up, "We still have many tasks to complete!"

…

"It's strange. The truth rune assignment was indeed usable in the past, but the problem of the runes becoming invalid was only discovered now..."

Isendel grabbed his hair and looked at the embarrassing conclusion in front of him - the array of truth runes discovered by Vesrifan before can indeed effectively control the complex arcane range - the arcane details control the two-level assignment process Integrated into a semi-fuzzy logic network similar to a "magic circle", but the network itself still has a very embarrassing problem: the runes of truth will fail.

In the later processing of the Rune of Truth, first of all, it is to analyze what changes occur when the mind and heart assign concepts and meanings to a specific thing, and then this process is channeled into the Rune of Truth through the equipment, so that This makes the rune itself, which was originally just a picture, have a real "fixed meaning". In addition, civilization has long associated this pattern with certain phenomena in reality. The accumulation of history can also strengthen the rune. The stability of its own meaning. On these foundations, the first batch of truth runes were formed.

However, since the meaning of the assignment is originally external, its level and stability are not comparable to the powerful high-level arcana itself that needs to flow every time the spell is launched. As long as the spell array is activated independently of the biological environment, Once more, the entire rune array was originally assigned with clear assigned meanings, and all the information with clear assigned meanings would be washed away. What can barely last longer is based on long-term cognition and accumulated information left in history, that is, shape... Isendel shook his head, the effect of the remaining meaning can only be said to be worse than nothing. powerful.

Moreover, the most valuable point of arcane energy itself is also the biggest difference between arcane energy and crystal energy: the phenomena and effects produced when information such as crystal energy comes into play are direct and stable, driving crystal energy The same is true for describing the assignment process.

However, the assignment process of arcane energy is more complicated and fuzzy. Compared with crystal energy, it seems to have a direct effect on reality. Arcane energy seems to interfere with the real world in some subtle way from the original perspective. For example, probability collapse, mind control, etc.

Such different application expressions naturally caused a big gap between the empire's ideas for using them. At a similar level, if there is a more sophisticated control method, then these two types of information can both use their own strengths and accomplish the same thing in different ways.

In this process, the most obvious difference, or complementarity, between the two is that crystal energy inherits the impact of the imperial people's real subjective initiative on the world; while arcane energy is preparing to inherit the imperial people's spiritual power. And the influence of the mind on the existence of the real world - in the long-term fight against the weird mental pollution and memetic cognitohazards of the (once) powerful Theodal Empire, the individuals of the Star Federation have strengthened their souls and souls as much as possible. Mental strength can be said to be a foundation that cannot be ignored.

After the establishment of the unified theory of information, the soul has jumped from a relatively illusory and invisible existence to a definite information group that coexists with the body. If we only strengthen one aspect of the body and ignore the other, it will leave a huge loophole, even if the soul Now due to the fusion of high-level energy, their ranks have been raised as a whole, but the potential and possible loopholes of the soul itself will not be discovered because of this - a powerful body does not mean that the body has no weak spots. , and it can be said that no one wants to see such a problem.

However, if you want to directly create a new technical system, or even a new cognitive system, without any previous exploration, the difficulty can even be said to be more difficult than any previous experience - Information Big The unified theory had been proposed by a whole generation before the generation of Vidoville put it into practice, and the fact that these people were able to propose such a theory was most likely due to the influence of information disturbance caused by Σ or other existences. This is completely acceptable. It is said that there are predecessors who show the way.

As for Jingneng Technology, except that the complex consisting of reactors, energy-guiding pipe network systems, and photon pressure difference arrays has been replaced by a mathematical rate core, its specific essence has not changed much. It can even be directly regarded as a vacuum zero point. With the upgrade and extension of energy control technology, vacuum zero-point energy already has certain information fluctuation properties to a certain extent. Taking into account a large number of mature mathematical models, the Star Federation itself is the founder of the Empire's crystal energy technology.

As for arcana, or the "magic" and "mysterious" technologies that are very likely to go well with arcana, the empire has no predecessors who can draw on the technical experience. Researchers have also sought experience from the entire history, but a lot of data has been contaminated and damaged by the death wave before they could be backed up, and among all the remaining clues...

There may have been some mysterious overall systems in history, but judging from the final actual effects, those ancient systems seem to have no actual effects, let alone effective inheritance.

Perhaps in the cultural structure of the past, there did exist a feasible arcane/mystical control system, but because the environment did not support the existence of arcane-derived content, those obscure statements could only sink into what seemed to be a fantasy narrative structure. among.

Information perturbation may bring some strangeness, but it is actually feasible. But even the recognized grand unified theory of information has only left a few axioms that are almost unreasonable after research. Observation records are in good agreement with these axioms. However, the entire theoretical system related to it has not been fully formed at all. Even now, many items are still being improved. What Isendel did in the past was actually more like reinterpreting everything in the world in a different way.

If it is unexpected, I have to forcibly extract techniques and methods from these contents...

Thinking about the "distance gap" between the two, forget it.

…

At the moment, these are the questions facing all new arcane individuals:

"How arcane?"
