Star Empire

"...Sure enough, it still doesn't work. The existing technology simply cannot create runes that can last forever... If each rune group is equipped with an additional mathematical rate host, the efficiency is really low. It is intolerable at all, and it goes against the original intention of arcane technology... How to avoid the failure of the Rune of Truth..."

Looking at the array of truth runes that would still be dissipated by high-frequency arcane energy after countless failures, Isendel grabbed his hair and let out a long, crazy sigh. He wanted to combine two types of high-level information. Making essential and valuable technical system distinctions is much more difficult than I expected.

There are differences between the two high-level information of crystal energy and arcana that can be said to be complementary to the entire civilization and can occupy all the current development gaps of the entire civilization. However, it can be said that it is not possible to combine these two types of information. In order for the same high-level information to play its maximum expected role, it is necessary to find the technical means that best suit the operation of these two types of information.

If arcane information must be used like crystal energy, it is not impossible.

But doing so will waste many vague but valuable attributes of the arcana itself, and the empire's path to developing new technologies and making up for shortcomings will also be interrupted.

Difficulties must be solved.

…

Restoration year 1200.

Civilization’s attention and resources are being focused on this.

The 6287th external source assignment structure of the Rune of Truth was verified to be unstable enough to support the mysterious direction technology system based on arcana.

No matter how large and solid the runes of truth are made through arcane energy, or how much simulated imperial unity of thought power is injected into them, the inherent problems of these runes always exist.

After failure after failure, Isendel gradually began to realize a problem: perhaps, carrying out this level of research is based on copying the current arcane user's mental-psychic arcane value information fluctuations, and then using The plan of directly extracting and solidifying this information fluctuation into certain "totems" recognized by civilization does not work in itself.

…

Everyone in the entire empire has experienced a process similar to the promotion of life forms, and their life forms are no longer dependent on the world of order. However, in the process of understanding the void and the world, the main objects for cognition and information collection are still various worlds of order, so this will cause a problem——

Any cognition based on the world of order, especially the few worlds of order, is one-sided and special for the endless world in the void. In some respects, it can even be said to be wrong.

The simplest example: the arcane field broadcast array can continuously extract information from the void and act on the ordered universe, while the cosmic benchmark stabilizing anchor can continuously eliminate harmful information fragments while working. Therefore, the arcane field under the empire The technological universe can demonstrate very strong anti-entropy, that is, in the current environment, the influence of low-entropy bodies is very powerful. If the technology is sufficient, the entropy value of the world will actually decrease.

And if the influence of artificial intervention is removed, the natural arcane field has been determined to coexist with the ordered universe. The capital universe of the empire is a typical example. A certain "small gap" is formed in the occasional "small gaps" in the world barrier. Some purely mathematical environments can guide the continuous decay of the void into arcana.

If these high-level information with clear order tendencies are continuously used by indigenous civilizations, it is not impossible that there will be a large-scale overall decrease in the chaos of the universe during the process of solidification of high-level information to low-level information - under such a model , the entire world is not a stable closed system.

This kind of evolution is not valid in a universe without arcana and similar external structures, and it is difficult to understand. However, even if the wisdom living in this universe does not understand it, it cannot directly define the above results as errors, because the various laws they follow are established by this universe, and the scope of these laws is limited to this universe.

Under the premise that these huge cognitive differences, as well as the differences in natural laws that lead to cognitive differences, exist widely in various universes, one or more partial cognitions are used to attempt to synthesize energy. "Eternal solidity", or the truth rune that can be "generally established" in the void multiverse, or the fixed conversion substrate for the evolution of arcane information is obviously unrealistic.

Theoretically, it is a strong law-level existence with equal rights to arcana and crystal energy - although it is different, if the essential thinking of the empire is stripped out, the creations needed by the empire are actually almost the same.

If you want to get the answer to this question, you may need some violent methods - either use the exhaustive method to run through the entire multiverse in the void and record all the characteristic information describing a certain event or process; Just find a way to decay it directly from the void.

Obviously, the latter is "more" practical than the former.

However, this kind of "practical operability" is only slightly more reliable than the completely impossible former. In fact, such an approach is tantamount to directly making up another, or countless completely different, located in the The synthetic equation of the high-order information of the first step of the void order state——

The difficulty of this level of practice is unimaginable. What is needed to re-synthesize a new first force is not as simple as adjusting the old information group to the basic data. It requires one or several brand-new parameters, or even A new information mapping system can finally be created.

Unknown and new on this level is absolute. Once such an existence appears, it is enough to replenish the cognitive inventory of the entire civilization. The scope of civilization's own cognition is limited. No matter how many conjectures and ideas it can conjecture, its maximum content cannot exceed the overall cognition of civilization. And within this total collection, no matter how you try to obtain subsets, it is impossible to obtain new ones. elemental.

…

After a period of futile thinking, Eisendel issued an order of his own: from Ariosa von Eisendel, the empire’s second-level authority holder and the empire’s chief scientist, within the scope of his own authority and order. All Imperial individuals have joined the experiment of the stable assignment method of the Rune of Truth. Any method or conjecture can be reported after it is determined by self-experimentation to meet the purpose of the experiment. When enough results are reported, the Queen and I will jointly organize an academic conference to discuss the final feasibility of the relevant plan.

Original intention of the test: [The final meaning of the rune of truth has reached the strong law level, that is, it can be effective in the void and the multidimensional world of the void. 】

"Since it cannot be solved by one or a few people alone, then mobilize enough people to solve this problem together."

During this period of time, crystal energy technology has not made any new decisive breakthroughs, but it has been developing. Considering the issue of compatibility, the field of arcane research needs to be accelerated.

As for more problems, Isendel is not worried at the moment - the civilization itself has no competitors of similar levels. On the basis of unlimited resources, the empire can mobilize a considerable amount of resources to overcome certain single problems. The empire There is no apparent competition or pressure in the time and space that can be considered at present. As for this order of mine, perhaps I can provide reference value depending on the results.

Currently, the empire is actually still trying to reorganize its cognitive system. Past experiences and ideas may not be completely inheritable, but the empire must redo many things in the face of a new environment to redefine their feasible range.

…

As for the next research path on this matter, Eisendel himself is not saying that he has no ideas - when the world was born, the order had not yet been finalized, and in the process of rapid changes, there should have been no order. Under the catalysis of some unknown processes, the universe in the universe will continue to cool and solidify, and finally take shape - when that world has just been born and the laws to restrain this world have not yet been born, there must be something more powerful than the laws of the world. The existence of the universe dominated all changes at that time, and this "law of the beginning" that can guide the differentiation and solidification of the prototype of the universe may be closely related to the stable meaning expression required by the rune of truth.

To be more specific, if you want to find an information group that can make the rune of truth permanent, then it is very likely that before achieving this result, the empire needs to find a way to establish a complete artificial creation method, instead of building a void in the void. The order field of nothing is to establish a real complete world that can operate in a self-consistent manner, and to find certain evolutionary truths determined by endless order.

But Isendel did not add such a content to his order, but pushed it out based on the idea of ​​discrete individuals - as an authority in the absolute sense, once he directly identifies himself as the "most likely ” and “most effective” research goals are posted, then no matter how many labels are added to such supplementary items, it is impossible to prevent the majority of researchers from tilting their selection goals and research methods towards the content related to this item.

In the past, many ancient authorities themselves would slowly become stumbling blocks to development and killers of new ideas and new technologies. The former reason was that the accumulated social status and traditional conservative thinking of those old authorities would eventually subtly influence them. , making them unwilling to accept the existence and development of new things.

The latter reason is often because these powerful authorities will continuously reveal their conjectures or optimistic directions through unintentional or intentional activities. This will lead to many people with different directions and lower social status. Researchers will naturally revise or even abandon their original goals - sometimes this can lead to detours.

Isendel does not hope that he will become that kind of existence, although many times people will really become what they once hated the most.

…

The response to the order was surprising.

Perhaps... this can also be regarded as a call to challenge to a higher stage under the premise of continuous progress of civilization?

…

"...The way to infuse the meaning of the Rune of Truth..." After silently reading the Chief Science Officer's order several times in his mind, a young female figure dispersed the floating objects around her with a wave of her fingers. The truth rune array has lost its meaning after several times of activation. A "sun" filled with lavender arcane light is silently emitting light in space. The light is blocked by her completely relaxed body in space. part, thus forming a graceful silhouette.

Facing the less intense rays of the "Arcane Sun", the girl began to think silently about how she should find a way to make her own contribution to the order issued by Chief Isendel.

"The Rune of Truth...the significance of its existence is to assign values ​​to the evolution of arcane energy. It is like a map that condenses multiple information assignment processes. Injecting arcane magic will produce a certain result..."

"Based on the current results, Chief Essendel proposed that the current problem with the Rune of Truth is that it cannot economically maintain its own meaning. Once it has experienced multiple arcane washouts, the rune of truth that was originally injected into it will , the assigned information copied from the mental power and spiritual fluctuations of the imperial people will slowly collapse on its own without the support of external information levels. In other words... under such a one-sided understanding, whether it is the spirit or the soul , the information feedback given is not enough to maintain its own stability. From this point of view, it requires the strong law level mentioned in the unified information to be competent..."

…

In silence, facing the ever-changing mysterious arcane field, and based on the scope of my own knowledge, some possible guesses about Isendel's order:

"How, or rather what, is used by the void to push so many multidimensional worlds into being?"

"Obviously...there are inherent laws in the process of world creation..."

"If it is according to the chief's will... then in his opinion... if we can start directly from the creation process... find out why the void can make some phenomena exist widely and for a long time when the world is spontaneously formed..."
