Star Empire

"Maybe it corresponds to the outbreak of the Death Tide Gate?" Vidoville became serious, "What are the possibilities? The Death Tide Gate is a very dangerous existence for us. If those abnormal phenomena are really related to the outbreak of the Death Tide Gate and By argument, then we should go straight to a state of emergency."

"I can't be sure, Your Majesty." Zhai Cahir's helplessness was conveyed to Victorville exactly through the Internet:

"According to our general habits, an object must have at least three reference samples or more units to be worthy of detailed analysis, but now we don't even have a comprehensive and clearly recorded sample of the Dead Tide Gate. No, so...that can only be my guess."

"If this is the case... pay attention to strictly controlling the world gates within each universe. The connections between the universe reference stable anchors of all individual worlds and the main network will all enter a "safety fuse" state. Once the host array detects that any level exceeds the threshold, Abnormal information fluctuations will immediately cut off the connection between the world and the main network."

"Pay attention to isolation, all levels of isolation that we can care about - isolation is one of the best and most direct means currently known to combat the death wave."

"At the same time, pay attention to strengthening the guard firepower around all world gates. The protection strength of all equipment carrying information flow must be improved. After the cosmic reference stability anchor detects the unstable information jet, it will immediately lock the gate. When the death wave breaks out, it will The high intensity of destruction in the world of Order is partly due to its strong spreading ability, and this aspect is even more terrifying and...disgusting..."

"Our civilization continues to become more interconnected, and even if the crystalline firewall currently appears to prevent contamination from spreading directly between network nodes, we must attach great importance to these aspects, based on the results of the last fleet security test. As standards, enhance the empire’s network stability—the tragedy of the Federation era must never be repeated!”

"As you command, Your Majesty."

"Vidoville and Zhai Cahir, I have something to add temporarily -" Weisrifan's voice suddenly floated over from a place that seemed farther than the sky:

"In my opinion... if part of the world is too unstable, let as many people as possible stay in the artificial experimental order fields in the void. Those order fields themselves do not have the nature of the world. At the same time, the order fields themselves It is also too fragile to become a carrier of pollution. If a large-scale death wave disaster really breaks out in the world of order, individual transfer to the bubble of the order field is a feasible means."

"Abandon the world structure...?" Vidoville felt a little strange about this.

"The stability of the world barrier itself is much higher than the strength of the void order barrier we created. The strength of our current order field is not high enough to carry out too strong activities inside. Moreover, those order fields often themselves will There are some problems, the environment there is harsher than in space...The rules also need to consider compatibility, which itself is an intuitive description of a harsh environment."

"Lil, why do you suddenly suggest that some people move to the Void Order Field?"

"There is a certain world that coexists with me. I can feel some of the information fluctuations left by "His"... Although we cannot create a real world, this does not mean that our creations have no advantages. Perhaps...those barren order fields will not interact with the death tide because they are too weak..."

"...Okay, now we can only make rough guesses based on these known contents..."

Looking at the empire's territory that was expanding at a slow rate, Vidoville couldn't help but feel a sudden sense of powerlessness in his heart. The former Federation occupied every galaxy in the universe and would take the space resonance hub as the highest level. After its transportation network covered the boundaries of the universe, the Star Federation believed that it had control of the entire universe and everything in it.

Now, the territorial universe of the Star Empire has spanned three quadrants in the void. The order and laws of each territorial universe have been taken over by the cosmic benchmark stabilizing anchors. These powerful devices can ensure that the empire's technology is carried out locally in the universe. Zone-accurate fine-tuning of quarks.

In addition, all types of individuals and the civilization as a whole that make up civilization have far exceeded the scale of the Star Federation. However, in such a prosperous age, what the civilization itself is worried about is when certain unknown phenomena will occur. , where and how the house and the entire community were destroyed...

"Perhaps, this is the "natural environment". Well, let's see what the next supplementary plan is...how to execute the end of the world, and all the quantification standards and...all the details?!"

Vidoville roughly recalled the actions of the Renaissance Chronicle up to now. After the crystal energy fleet, the Cosmic Baseline Anchor, the Void Quadrant, the World Gate, and later the small success in the battle against the Dead Tide Gate, compared to just a few thousand years ago, In the year of exile, civilization itself has made great progress.

Now, due to the restraint control of white matter and the synthesis of the runes of truth, as well as the artificial creation activities closely related to these large projects, they have begun to fall into a period of stagnant development one after another. While looking for solutions to the problems, the empire itself has also begun to Look back at the path you have traveled.

Among a series of problems that were subsequently exposed, the most obvious problem set is that at the current basic level, many aspects of relevant experiments have not been completed - the external change resistance frequency ability of the Crystal Energy Fleet Joint Shield How high? What are the upper and lower limits of each level of spaceship itself? How will a ship behave when it suffers different degrees of damage? What impact will these damages have on the overall operation of the hull and the operation of each component? Once a big explosion occurs in a large spacecraft, what will be the scope and degree of impact?

If the target is further narrowed down to the individuals of the empire, then the set of questions is: How strong is the ability of life constructed by such pure high-frequency information to resist external disturbances? Will such a life form still have "diseases"? If so, what specific expressions will there be? What are the death methods and related death thresholds of such life forms? What is the stable bandwidth for soul upload? Will the soul be damaged after being uploaded multiple times...

Wait, wait, wait, Vidoville shuddered when he thought about it. If a series of problems of different aspects and levels were superimposed and appeared together, it would probably be enough to bring down half of the empire just to solve them - —The disadvantages of using first and then deciding have already been revealed.

However, what is even more helpless is that this is the result of the rapid development of the empire and the severe mismatch between capabilities and cognitive scope... In other words, these contents to be tested are lessons to be made up and new debts to be repaid—— Excessive ascension leaves behind a certain mismatch.

In the memory of civilization, the period when ability and cognition can be perfectly matched, even in more than 35 billion years, can be said to be very few.

However, these various rules, regulations, measurement items and reference standards are absolutely important. Rules and regulations have been with civilization since civilization began to systematically establish various systems. Moreover, these rules and regulations are generally more active than legal provisions, and every upper and lower limit and rule are often accompanied by blood and tears.

It is no exaggeration to say that in the past, the rules and regulations that ensured the normal operation of every system and every component in civilization were themselves piled up from the remains of life and equipment.

When many scientists are studying major projects, they are often unable to notice the potential dangers of those projects that are not yet known at the current level. For example, in the dark energy era, many scientists studying this project will be infected with a A strange symptom known as autodissociation - after being exposed to dark energy without proper isolation and protection, these researchers will gradually disintegrate themselves, from body to soul, over decades to centuries.

The strange repulsive force of dark energy radiation will gradually strip away the four basic forces that restrain their bodies and eventually disperse them into a pile of quark balls. Even the souls will not be spared from this process - before the advent of information disturbance computers, this There is no cure for this disease.

In this sense, the technological development promoted by dedication and dedication is not known whether it should be called the honor or sorrow of the researchers.

And now, similar problems are lining up in front of thousands of people in the empire. In the last ten thousand years, or two, the empire has relied on excellent luck to bypass every major disaster node without any danger. , even the impact of the death wave before the Long Night Era and subsequent batches of impacts did not finally shake the final bottom line needed for civilization to maintain its existence, but good luck is not always full.

…

Fortunately, before civilization was kicked out of the Ark, some very important basic practices and pre-requisite technologies had been discovered by a few senior researchers. In the process of the Ark Fleet's exile, many basic standards, coping ideas, phenomenon sorting, as well as some direct crystal energy utilization possibilities and simple rules have been recorded and fully quantified. With these foundations existing, these empires are able to repay the time debt they owe due to their premature leap into a "controllable information-level civilization" with their unlimited resources.

As the empire's strength continues to grow, after having opened up three void quadrants, more universes and sparse creation processes have begun to be gradually received by the empire's probes scattered in the void.

After detecting that some universes often experience small-area environmental chaos and mapping rate anomalies similar to those that occurred before the Death Tide Gate erupted, and precisely due to technological immaturity, these new universes no longer directly install World Gates. Only three of their four major infrastructures will be left.

In these worlds, the cosmic benchmark stable anchor continuously scans for any unstable fluctuations in the universe. When the Dead Tide Gate really appears, these partially abnormal information fluctuations will be compared with the complete fluctuations before the explosion. In order to calculate as much as possible the signs of the outbreak of the Death Tide Gate.

In addition to brighter eyes and faster footsteps, the benefits brought by the continuous strengthening of the empire's strength and heritage are that various resources, including the universe and various war vehicles, can finally withstand the level of waste again. Used - Logically speaking, there is an infinite world in the void, but if it cannot be found, then the theory is useless no matter how reasonable it is;

And all kinds of warships... If we go back 10,000 years, the star civilization was concentrated in three arks. If we go back 15,000 years, the star civilization at that time could not burn a sufficient amount of crystal energy. ——The crystal must be used under sufficient arrangements, otherwise the Ark fleet will lose energy before reaching its design life and eventually sink in the endless void.

For those who survived, frugality can even be considered as a temporary mark on their souls. Even if the situation has long since changed, they have spent thousands of years in the state of soul sealing, and These thousands of years are probably more important to them than tens of millions of years - in an environment where one wrong step can lead to death, who dares to misuse resources? Even after the emergence of the space channel reactor and unlimited resources, subconscious restrictions will still exist.

That is to say, now, after the resources themselves are unlimited and the existence base has completely increased, the impact left by that period has been slowly erased. The era of radical changes is often easier to remember for the immortals, and now Catastrophic changes occur in the blink of an eye or several times in the lifespan of these beings who no longer know whether they can still be called human beings. Under such drastic changes, the change of times and memories will also accelerate.

After realizing the problem, the weight of solving the new problem naturally quickly outweighed the remaining emotional issues. Under the auspices of Caloust, Erwin and others, a series of experiments that could be called inhumane began. For example, let countless starships overload all the reactors while bombarding each other, and then finally harvest the upper and lower limits of defense, upper and lower attack limits, overload damage methods and derivative effects and treatment methods, the scope of influence after the ship body self-destructs, and Depth of impact.

As for people, since the soul can be implanted into the construct in the later stage but only the body can be created in the early stage, many bodies that have not yet had souls implanted and can only maintain a self-consistent existence are put into destructive verification. There are those who can use arcane magic. As for the parts where souls need to be involved, these aspects have to use a large number of test subjects, and even imperial personnel at the fourth authority level to conduct experiments and use this to sort out a more detailed change curve.

…

"Your Majesty, the doomsday project we are going to implement today is carried out in the territorial universe. First, we will directly use fleet firepower to attack the world barrier. Attacking the universe's benchmark stable anchor will have to provide additional information calculation capabilities to provide the universe with Maintain stability. After recording enough data, we will try to directly delete the heart of the world to trigger a full-strength doomsday that can make the universe disappear directly from the void."

"After confirming that the status of each communication connection and the Void Observation Post is correct, let's get started." Victorville nodded.

"clear!"
