Star Empire

"Prepare for blasting and place the space annihilation bomb at the designated location. The area is locked, the site is cleared, and dispersal signals are broadcast in the dangerous area. Please pay attention to all personnel to avoid it in time." Cavinriel put away all his emotions in an instant and gave the order meticulously. New instructions.

According to the high-dimensional space fluctuation calculations produced by space annihilation in advance, the space annihilation bombs will be arranged into an isosceles triangle with a side length of 500 meters, arranged in the middle of the cage-shaped energy-guiding grid - approaching the aurora The location of the spherical cabin is accurately detonated. After the detonation, the energy released by the disintegration of the space background structure will be contained and directed by the energy-guiding grid.

"I have to say... blowing up a spaceship is a huge operation." Looking at the scattered light spots in space and an already somewhat distorted total reflection mirror, Kalost shook slightly. Shaking his head, "At this level, I feel that even if there is no equipment, there should be a more efficient method."

"Of course it's easy for you to say this, but how else can you do it? And this is to blow up my ship, just use your bombs. These ships are basically semi-permanent structures when they are built. When you need to use it for other purposes in such a radical way, you can only choose this method. I hope those strange energy-guiding grids can resist space distortion."

"Obviously it can't support even a little bit of kinetic energy damage, but that strange structure can resist the vibration of space. It's really strange..."

"So that's the black box. You can read the information yourself!"

"Hiss... Why do I feel like I have read more books during this trip than I have in thousands of years..." Kalost muttered while activating a holographic screen in the void.

"Start projecting data - don't complain, I'll help you optimize it. The material of the energy-guiding grid is also generated by information computer perturbation. It has extremely strong resistance and absorption and conduction capabilities for most energy except kinetic energy. , and because it has experienced the perturbation of information computers, its energy properties are abnormal. Considering the initial homology of mass and energy, it was confirmed after experiments that this material can also resist the force spillover in high-dimensional space."

"However, the rigidity and toughness of this material are very low, so except for being used as conductors in certain places where precision is required, the rest can only be sealed."

"You see, the black box technology of information computers is so uncontrollable that its impact on our path forward is unpredictable." Cavernelle waited quietly aside, "These are actually not important at the moment. Let’s take a look at the plan.”

When the space annihilation bomb is detonated, the four-dimensional and a small part of the five-dimensional space fields will be concentrated around the outer shell covering the life-support reinforced cabin due to energy constraints. When the chromatic core armor loses its function due to force overflow, the guided The energy grid will guide part of the energy released from space to bombard the spacecraft, dismantle the redundant structure so that the spherical capsule can be taken out, and the rest of the energy will be guided outside the warp space, towards the uninhabited deep space. Emit in the direction.

】

Before the project was carried out, Cavinrel ordered the dismantling of all self-destruction devices and control components inside the spacecraft - there is no doubt that all those disposable components failed or were destroyed.

The reason why this life-support module is called the enhanced type is precisely because compared with the general models of other spacecrafts, all its performances have been enhanced, including the self-destruction capability in the event of loss of control. Those used in theory The super-standard weapons that have improved performance for the dying struggle are no joke - however, the surgery that needs to be performed is still unavoidable.

In the semi-closed warp space, a small drone placed three pieces of almost insignificant black dust in place as per the predetermined requirements. After the small drone issued a warning, the objects in the warp space were All staff and smart drones were evacuated from the test site, and space broadcasts sounded in various frequency bands according to preset procedures. Although the dangerous factors in the vicinity have been eliminated by the operation team itself, the necessary procedures must be carried out.

After all, behind every word of these processes is full of blood.

A small red button flashed silently in front of Cavinriel. Through the monitor, the science officer tried his best to ignore the temporary cage structure and carefully looked at the spacecraft for the last time as a farewell. , this button was pressed.

At the moment when the button was pressed, there was only a little external light source of the spacecraft, which was instantly dyed into a dazzling pure white in the dark space that was unable to flicker. This was a small piece of self-conflicting folded world that erupted after being suddenly released from time lock. A sudden flash of energy. Most of the radiation emitted by this explosion was visible light that was not completely directionally constrained, but had also been greatly weakened. Otherwise, it would have been absolutely impossible for the monitor to continue working during this first impact.

The white light burst out in an instant and disappeared. This was just the appetizer of this grand explosion. With the extremely high-density energy release effect, the originally hidden high-dimensional space began to expand from micro to macro. Around the spacecraft, the original darkness Many lenses seemed to appear out of thin air in the empty area. These "lenses" distorted the light reflected by the spacecraft into strange colors. According to the surveillance network, the main body of the spacecraft was completely a ball of melted glass.

Circles of transparent ripples rushed towards the spacecraft from the center of the explosion. The originally sixteen-kilometer-long giant ship seemed as small as an ancient ship facing a monstrous tsunami in front of these strange ripples. However, after the ripples arrived, the ship The spacecraft did not experience any violent vibrations. In fact, it did not produce any vibrations. The shock wave swept across the entire hull, but the ripples seemed to be regarded as nothing in the eyes of the spacecraft.

No, although the state of the spacecraft has not changed, Kalost and Cavinriel saw it very clearly on the monitor. After the faint ripples swept across the hull, the originally bright color core force was fully reflected. The reflection produced by the shell is distorted, and diffuse light begins to appear from it. This phenomenon is especially obvious in the one kilometer diameter range.

In the expanded four-dimensional space, the receiving and sending range of gluons has been greatly expanded, and a considerable part of the strong force has been dissipated into higher dimensions. After losing the support of this force, the color core "element" "The constraint strength is greatly weakened, and the divergent energy structure in the high-dimensional space causes some of the gluons that penetrate the originally strong armor to escape.

Now, the original components of the structure, which were barely functioning as they were, can no longer maintain their completely indestructible properties.

Around the original explosion core, more strange optical phenomena are constantly occurring. Blazing white light pillars shoot out of the broken darkness and disappear out of thin air the next second. The dimensional jump caused by the release of energy is still continuing, but these scenes are not suitable for The two people in the control room more than ten light years away have no meaning. They are just some phenomena caused by light being guided by new rules in high-dimensional space.

In three dimensions, conventional monitoring equipment can only see a "projection" of the high dimension. If you can be in a high-dimensional space, you can see the entire structure of the low-dimensional space unfolding in front of you. Such "infinite details", In other words, the "omnidirectional expansion" phenomenon cannot be understood by ordinary three-dimensional creatures. However, after the correct mathematical processing model is implanted, these images that may drive ordinary creatures crazy will become the same as daily scenery.

The next part is the most gorgeous during the explosion of the space annihilation bomb.

The energy released in the first explosion has all acted on the surrounding space. At the center of the explosion, an extremely small virtual structure area began to form. Due to the different structures and laws, and the extremely small range, this ten-dimensional virtual structure area Structural areas cannot be directly observed by three-dimensional equipment.

But even if direct environmental sampling is difficult, there are still obvious phenomena nearby that reveal its presence. Around the increasingly fragmented explosion core, all the high-dimensional space ripples that were spreading out suddenly stopped spreading and slowly retracted. It seemed that there was an extremely strong gravitational source pulling these high-energy ripples that could destroy the macroscopic world structure. .

Space begins to collapse toward the explosive center, which is caused by the "compensation" of real space after the annihilation of the real space and virtual space regions.

After the original space was lost, under the power of the laws of the universe, the surrounding space was squeezed into the newly generated blank area to fill the hole. The originally twisted and weird light path disorder area was directly crushed, and a bright white ball began to appear. In this chaotic space, and getting brighter as compensation proceeds.

Although the energy-guiding grid can resist high-dimensional space and most energy impacts, some fragments still affect its overall structure. Under the impact of the fragments, the energy-guiding structure seems to have been scratched by an invisible long knife. The middle is broken into two parts.

The spacecraft a few kilometers away in three-dimensional space also began to show obvious damage: in the areas that were most severely impacted, the original armor belts and large cabin structures were also torn off from the hull by the gravity of space, and then in the huge It was pulled to pieces by the gravitational difference, and finally disappeared into the increasingly dazzling white ball.

After the vacuum zero-point energy generated by the annihilation of space gathered enough to resist external pressure, the second impact began.

As the external collapse stopped, the volume of the blazing white ball suddenly expanded, and soon filled every inch of the space inside the energy-conducting cage. These blazing white "substances" that looked similar to liquids were represented by pure energy bodies. out of nature. Since the first impact will produce a theoretically extremely serious "background hedging" in this range, even if the virtual space disappears, the space here will be in an unstable state for a long time, and the space in this state cannot Absorb the huge vacuum zero point energy again.

Under the diversion of the energy-guiding grid, a small amount of energy is guided to the ring on the surface of the ship body along with several slender guide rails. After the energy is connected, the surface of the ring suddenly lights up, and a high-density entity After the energy is directed and guided, it has terrifying power. The hull structure that has become fragile in the four-dimensional space is instantly torn apart by this lasing energy. After cutting out the life-saving cabin section, the raging energy torrent is still flowing in the front and rear sides. The remaining power was vented in the hull of the ship, and the solid isolation gates were melted down layer by layer. The heat-resistant materials that could easily withstand the core temperature of the star disintegrated instantly under the licking of the flood peak.

After all the corridors and passages were destroyed, the outer shell of the remaining ship was broken through again. The white energy surge broke through the fragile outer shell, showing a grand explosion outside the spacecraft. At the inner edge of the warped space, Some energy turbulence that appeared out of thin air and some barely identifiable spacecraft structures created ripples on the invisible boundary. In the four-dimensional space, that dimension that cannot be truly understood by three-dimensional creatures is affecting the laws of motion.

Obviously, in the previous devastating impact, part of the hull structure was carried by the energy torrent and crashed into the direction of the new dimensional axis, causing its trajectory to change dramatically in the three-dimensional space projection.

Most of the remaining energy flows along the structure of the energy-guiding grid. In order to prevent this part of the energy from affecting the normal space outside, this cage-like structure is bounded by the broken midpoint and is close to the ship. The structure of that section is very simple and sparse, while the energy-guiding structure on the upper layer is intricate and huge. Countless curved buffer pipes intersect around the outer spiral main energy tube, which conducts partial pressure of the energy of the main structure. With the blazing white light It continued to spread, and the entire cage became brighter and brighter.

At the entrance and exit of the semi-closed warped world bubble, the buffered energy turbulence is reassembled and integrated. These excess and dangerous high-density energy will provide the last wonderful shot before the curtain call for this grand explosion. .

In the originally dark space, a bright white cross star appeared out of thin air, and its brightness increased sharply. It surpassed the quasar in a very short period of time, and then disappeared in a very short period of time. Followed closely was a blazing white beam shaped like a laser. This dazzling beam advanced unstoppably in the cold space, majestically cutting through the deep space like a spear of God.

Wherever it passed, even the space was heated and warped, curling up like molten glass. If no one handles it, in about a few hundred million years, this destructive energy turbulence will hit the boundary barrier of the universe and appear on the other side of the world. However, for the Federation, this is nothing to study. The problem.

However, there are some phenomena that have already flashed across the path of the energy torrent before its impact.

"If we could directly modify the constants of the basic force, then we wouldn't have to engage in such a big battle." After ordering the maintenance of the posture to lift the warp bubble, Kalost muttered in a low voice, regarding the use of cutting-edge equipment for low-tech targets. Privately, he was somewhat dissatisfied with the blasting operation.

"If we can only develop to the material level, then it will be impossible to control the cosmological constants even if we reach the end." Cavernrel responded coldly, "The cosmological constants and natural laws are almost indestructible to us. We are currently Everything that can be done is indeed considered to have dominated the universe if viewed from the perspective of ancient planet-level civilizations."

"But you and I both understand that we are just using some more obscure laws. We are actually still subject to the existing framework of the universe. Only when the unification of information changes from hypothesis to reality, can we have what you said kind of strength."

"Okay." Kalost knew that some nonsense would offend the science officer, so he simply started the next topic, "For many of the current situations, coupled with your theories and descriptions, I am not opposed to information. Hypothesis of grand unification, but how do you plan to prove it? Then, can this theory be generalized to the knowledge system of the entire federation?"

"Of course I will have a way to prove it." When it came to scientific research, Cavinrel's attitude instantly became serious. "The current probe material ring sampling plan and the observation of crystallized samples will be important steps. As for the details, I will tell you in detail. As for promotion, I know that this is a question raised by the emotional part of your personality."

"Don't worry, all citizens in the federation have now completed the biochemical transformation of pure logical state. When faced with a new theory with solid evidence, reason will prevail. Many people now do not agree with the unified theory of information because no matter from the perceptual point of view Neither scientifically nor rationally, there is yet a set of strong experimental proof and a clear and clear knowledge system to provide a basis for the existence of this theory."

"Accidental results cannot be counted as results. However, most of the current information-related technologies in the Federation are all accidental. Even now, I only agree with it from a perceptual perspective. If I were to think about it in a purely logical mode, I would also would object to it as a true scientific theory in this case."

"If we can get key evidence of the unified theory of information from this event, which is unusual in many aspects, then everyone will give up their emotional resistance and accept it. This is what the Federation has accumulated over hundreds of millions of years. Spiritual crystallization." As he spoke, Calost felt that a different aura was spreading around Cavernrel. The person standing in front of him seemed not to be a scientist. From his figure, Calost suddenly felt It seems that he has a strange vitality and... charisma?

Perceptual thinking stirred in Kalost's mind, and he thought of the Star of the Stars. Four billion light-years away, that pitch-black hole that cut off thousands of silver threads and swallowed up the starlight from the entire universe. That pitch-black hole The hole not only integrates and swallows the trajectories of all stars, but also seems to collapse all uncertainties into a clear point, as if it is secretly reflecting the fate of the Federation.

If this is the case, what is behind this lightless door?

"In other words, what should be thought about is not..." The spark of thinking slowly extinguished unconsciously. At present, this should not be overly touched... "Why are there revelations, why are there metaphors and doors... Where do they come from?" "
