Star Empire

"Hate will not dissipate so easily, and what the perpetrators of the two genocides we have faced have done to us is not limited to individuals or individual organizations within any civilization, but our entire civilization. We once The strength is simply not enough to shake Σ’s war weapons, but now it seems... if we can really ensure that certain contents are reliable and can be used effectively... then... at least we already have the capital to possibly resist."

"I agree with this, Your Majesty." Kalost responded,

"However, one of the problems we are currently facing is that almost all of our technical levels are far behind Σ. This can be seen from the results produced by the technical extreme deduction module. . And what we will face next is that the new types of weapons or weapon technologies are likely to exceed the total since the birth of our civilization. If we have such a big technological leap in just a few hundred or thousands of years... …There are likely to be a lot of problems and errors.”

"If it's just a matter of acceptance and understanding, it can be solved by adding an absolute rational thinking module like it was during the Federation period."

Cavinriel's thoughts are flowing in the network, conveying the not-so-distant but already profound influence on the star civilization to the new generation individuals who now occupy nearly ten percent of the entire empire and began to appear in large numbers in the middle and late periods of the Exile Era. History that has left a lasting impact.

"But I don't recommend using those things anymore... They may have hidden dangers in themselves. Those modules will replace our original logic system when we need absolutely rational thinking. This in itself is a serious impact on all users. The influence of the system, and the additional plug-in of learning and acceptance with logic...For now, it is no less than a purely borrowed consciousness circuit. Once it is allowed to develop, we will eventually be replaced."

"If it is really necessary to use it in the short term, it doesn't matter. Our souls have been sublimated as a whole, and their will and stability are enough to accept constraints and maintain stability while accepting a large number of new things. At the same time, they can Better adapted to a long lifespan.”

Vidoville said in the spiritual connection, "I think what is more important is how our civilization will face our current enemies after developing based on these technologies."

"You all know that what we mainly need to face now are the various relics of the Σ civilization. You all already know the origin of these relics and how powerful they are in combat. At the same time, if we want to compete with them on a large scale, To contend with this, we may need to do our best to expand non-stop for a very, very long time.”

"Another point is the death tide. The information I got from that database is incomplete, but based on the epitome of the last so-called "bridging" operation of the Σ civilization, they used unimaginable power and gathered a very large total. The amount of information bombarded the Gate of Death Tide, which triggered a very strong backlash after the Gate of Death Tide lost control; at the same time, after the long bridge of void acted on the interior of the Gate of Death Tide, the interior of the Gate of Death Tide seemed to still lead to Due to the influence of data, I don’t know the specific details of some “spaces”.”

"Could it be...that it is the negative influence of the void, that it is opposed to the order of the void, and that it wants to clear the order in the void, right??"

"...It's impossible to be sure. After all, there are too many things we don't know yet. When there are countless unknown factors, speculating on the problem will naturally lead to countless solutions, each of which is more or less close to The correct result, but before we obtain the correct result, we cannot directly conclude any speculation as the truth."

Vidoville did not pay much attention to where this sentence came from on the Internet. During the discussion, everyone has the right to speak. "What I am more concerned about is how our civilization will face this war that is very likely to last for an unusually long time. What to do is one aspect, and more importantly, how we should treat them... We cannot lose our original intention."

The Internet fell silent, and Victorville quietly felt the doubts coming from the fluctuating thoughts. After a moment of silence, he responded to these questions: "After obtaining these, I am afraid they have deteriorated dozens or hundreds of times. After it is still something that can be said to be so advanced that it is incomprehensible to us, I have also thought about using the technology contained in these powerful combat weapons to completely improve our civilization after confirming its safety. and armed, and take a textbook revenge - but we must be careful..."

"The "enemy" side we are facing has perished from our understanding. From a logical point of view, this "side" no longer exists. What remains is only a small part of the side that once made up this side. But for us It can still be regarded as overwhelming and endless corrupt ghosts; and another one that we may need to face countless times, the Gate of Death Tide, or other forms of existence it may show, they may be temporarily regarded as a... Treat it as a very obvious phenomenon-level existence, after all, we have never captured the "entity" of such a thing as the death tide."

"And this is what we can currently grasp about the "enemy" we are facing. If we want to face it with an attitude of "revenge", obviously that is completely possible, and facing Yongxian The attitude of revenge for the past enemies can perfectly match our current hatred and anger, and thus provide us with endless execution and action capabilities. But..."

"However, if the number of enemies we face is extremely large, even if we try our best based on this action, it will take an extremely long time to achieve the goals we need to accomplish, or to be more serious, if the death wave really If there is a direct connection with the void, then it is very likely that we will never achieve the goal we need to achieve...right?"

Through the spiritual suggestion of this most powerful individual, Zhai Cahir and others directly realized the problem, "Your Majesty, I completely understand what you mean. If we combine the negative emotions in our hearts with revenge to promote the next Our actions may promote our progress over a long period of time, and our mental strength is now far stronger than before, enough to control our behavior and ourselves under the influence of long-term strong negative emotions, but There is a threshold after all, even if it is very large, it will eventually exist. Once we promote our negative emotions for too long and use it as the source of our action... we will sooner or later be swallowed by ourselves. "

"In that case..." Kalost thought for a moment, "Perhaps we can position our attitude towards the events to be carried out in the future as [fighting for a living space for civilization in the void]. Faced with an unknown target, we We cannot use a dangerous and unstable attitude as our source of action. This goal can be considered to be highly coincident with what we need to do at the moment, and it can also prevent us from overly pouring hatred in the process of executing this goal. and angry emotions. Your Majesty, what do you think?"

"...Maybe, this is good."

"But in the final analysis, this is just a meeting we are holding under such circumstances... We are not sure whether our sensibility and rationality can accept our ideas, nor do we know if we really face these... The question is, how long can we remain calm, but the drastic changes in Σ and the immeasurable cost it has brought to us... must be enlightened to us..."

"It's a pity that Lil doesn't understand this anymore."

"Your Majesty, we need to think about it..."

"What?"

"Is there really a fixed and certain principle in the void?"

…

After the conference, the follow-up discussions and detailed compilation took a long time.

The tone of civilization’s next action, which may be very, very long-term, or may even have no end at all, is determined to be “fighting for a living space for civilization in the void”. It should be said that at least the tone of this action is not too paranoid, and the goals are clear after being classified.

In a short period of time, this may not be completely comparable to retaliatory counterattacks and direct revenge that can directly stimulate emotions and will to promote execution, but when the final theoretical results of the action are completely consistent, this should avoid self-repercussions as much as possible. ——Vidoville and others have not seen the last backlash, but they are aware of the results of that backlash——

The Federation fleet suffered heavy losses, and the Arbiter computer's "forceful airborne landing". The latter has a strong connection with the birth of this period of history, and the former directly shows the price faced when using revenge as motivation: losing calmness and losing judgment. Force, heavy losses, the first two points are directly proportional to the back point.

And now, Σ's even more bloody example has been placed in front of him.

After the emperor's authority no longer serves as the underlying agreement, the long-standing artificial obstacles to civilization have finally been lifted. Now, at least the individual inheritance of civilization will no longer be cut off. As long as there is still a fractal of civilization that can survive, as long as time passes Civilization can be revived.

Even if only a small number of people survive, this series of individuals may still have the opportunity and foundation to re-develop into a civilization after undergoing major changes.

Now, the Emperor can be considered dispensable. Now some of the remnant souls of Vidovir and Vesrifan are just maintaining operations on the basis of the authority system, although it seems that the Emperor may become like a mascot in the future - -The supreme rule is only a rough supreme rule. The details will be left to the second authority level. The second authority level will become the actual "emperor" after the Tianzhong system is expanded again. However, due to the current two real Due to the particularity of the "Emperor Individual", this identity is likely to exist for a long time. Others don't care much about this, and neither does Victorville.

Vesrivan - Void Sun still holds this identity. After the return of the Arcane Throne and the Void Matrix, Vesrivan's soul fragments returned to the position held by the Emperor's authority - what she did in her last moments , should be respected by the empire no matter what, this is also a part of respect, but I am afraid that the person being respected may not be able to understand this.

As some events are confirmed and clarified, some things that have been completely closed have the opportunity to be re-opened.

…

"Your Majesty, new research results." In the void, a world guarded by the empire, and within the "frequency" that is difficult to locate, the excitement of Zhai Cahir and others has completely attracted Victorville Living.

"This is the storage bank I once imagined, which can effectively use mental power to expand space?" Vidoville looked at the inside of the world barrier with some surprise. This world can be said to be different. Its world boundaries are different from any conventional ones. The worlds are all the same, relying on warp closure to achieve constraints similar to those of ouroboros. However, the difference is that the interior of the world does not have any order entities that are common in the conventional universe, and even the universe's benchmark stabilizing anchor is not Doesn't exist - inside it, there is only the purest, shining white-gold ocean of light.

"The driving power source of this "world" is the endless sea of ​​crystal energy, a stable and powerful information output source." Zhai Cahir pointed to the pure and chaotic sea of ​​light and said, "Your Majesty, this is our civilization The first existence created that can be related to "infinity". Currently, it still has matching delay problems, but they will be completely solved soon. The technical limit function structure of the technical extreme deduction module is almost perfect. And every step of its deduction can be regarded as a reference answer - we can learn those information structures and rely on our mathematical rate equipment to modify and match."

"Then, please tell me in detail why this "repository" can achieve its goal."

"Inspired by what you once told me about the world line, there is no fixed development trend in this "world" itself. Apart from the necessary stability maintenance equipment we have installed, it It is completely free from any interference, even the light you see now is itself a manifestation of its operation."

Zhai Cahir smiled and said, "This storage bank is designed to be affected by a strong observation effect. When performing personal super-time and space storage operations in the future, if you observe the world with a stable soul frequency as an observer, it will It immediately collapses into a certain state, and the collapsed world line can be a storage space for storing any form of information that can be analyzed. After the observation effect disappears, this world line will immediately return to uncertainty. The state becomes one of countless possible simultaneous world lines. At the same time, due to the limitations of the observer and the structure of the database, it is impossible for any observer to collapse the database structure outside the scope of his own observation, so it can accommodate nearly Unlimited observers can interact simultaneously.”

"So...how to position it when taking it out?"

"The high-level soul frequency is equivalent to the keyword specified when searching. Since other states are different every moment, because the world line collapsed by this library may be inconsistent for everyone and every observation, but They belong to the same soul frequency; in this case, perhaps the spiritual space we once designed will lose its meaning, but as long as there is a strong enough link to ensure that this storage library is in contact with each storer, this storage will The library can play a more powerful role than the mental space. After all, it is better to control and standardize such events related to all individuals in the empire, and the mental space itself also has many insecurities - the instability of mental power causes This may lead to severed communication, leakage of stored items, etc., and the method of storing mental power cannot contain any high-risk existence."

"So, this repository, how secure is it?"

“The safety factor is very high: first of all, when it is not under observation, it performs self-constraints similar to Penrose’s ladder. While ensuring that it has no development trend, it can also avoid it in certain states. can create existences of their own accord that are beyond our control;

At the same time, after the storage ends and the observation effect is lifted, the information stored in the world line will return to the sea of ​​world lines together with the world line itself. In this process, the external information itself will also follow the world line. At the same time, the weight is reduced to infinitesimal, and only when the observation effect of external sources is activated again, will these world lines be collapsed to a state that can be observed and interacted with. Before that, their own existence can be said to be very low. , so low that it is even like a shadow that will not have any impact on reality. Except for the death tide, it is extremely difficult for other existences to affect this. Even if there are existences that have even penetrated the world line, they can still be identified for thermal elimination. The elimination process will not interfere with the operation of the overall facility. "

"very good."
