Star Empire

Tianshu Xingcai...

A battleship, a weapon, a spark that represents innovation is flickering - although it is still very weak compared to the whole. However, now, at this moment, where the past seems to be forgotten, history seems to be blurred, and development seems to have been suspended, as the first spark that bursts out after the ancient technical system is integrated with new ideas, its status is incomparable. Substitutable.

The output of the experimental product is not powerful, and the changes it can release cannot be compared with the original power it simulates.

But what it can represent is the new spark that the gods have created in the system for a long time, and the gods have once again and very seriously considered what they have from a detailed thinking perspective similar to "mortal thinking". A very meticulous use of power and technique. It is the first clarion call for development to begin again after a huge stagnation.

Why do you need technology?

Because some goals must be achieved through the implementation of technology, and these goals may not be achieved without relying on technology and tools, or may require more costs.

All technologies should not be biased - they only serve to achieve the goal. At the right time and in the right area, no technology is "useless".

It's just that I'm afraid. Compared to myself, compared to the powerful body of God, the starting point of God is different. The fragile physique and narrow development range of mortals make them have to put in more efforts on the road of technological development. Exploring and verifying with the mind, but gods do not need, or "do not need" to worry about these things very much. Perhaps in the endless and long history, it is such an environment that has gradually caused the group in which it belongs to slowly stagnated—— After all, many times power can solve many things, even perfectly, but technology seems to be unnecessary.

However, in the face of the doomsday debris and cruel reality emerging from the shadows, even the Protoss had to find ways to get along with each other again, so that their ancient and quite complete, even "perfect" technical system tree could continue to branch out. Loose leaves.

Due to the decisive difference in rank, it is impossible for gods to directly reproduce the commands and abilities of Void Will by themselves, let alone make their own abilities as "omnipotent" as Void Will. I can only try my best to use the equipment at hand through various technical routes to get closer to the truth.

A group of gods cheered for the innovation, but some gods already had hidden worries in their hearts.

Innovation has stopped in the past. It seems that during those tens of billions of years, many things that should exist and normal developments disappeared.

"...how could God's power and level... Where did the problem arise? What was the trigger that caused all of this, so that before the change happened, we ourselves... and even the Will of the Void didn't see through it?"

…

"Gou Chen, I think the multi-shift system implemented by mortals in order to improve overall work efficiency makes sense!"

"So, what are you going to say?" It seems that even if it is a shadow, every word spoken by another person can first make him feel an extra set of internal organs, and then he can instantly feel the surprise that makes his heart tremble.

"So I said, we must find a way to tie us together! I think we should make a child to accompany us! It will be much easier for three people to take turns to fight than now! You can also analogize it!"

"Why did your train of thought suddenly change?!"

It is said that there are certain rules in the void, and only beings of the same level can [harm each other].

In order to face the distant darkness that has not yet appeared but is heavy with pressure, the empire has exerted its efficiency to the extreme that it can accept at present. Not to mention the soldiers and fleets pouring out of the arsenal, even the number of the arsenal itself is also increasing at an incredible rate. The speed of imagination grows rapidly.

The void forge is burning fiercely, and the irreducible structures are constantly improving into star-inspired fortresses. A large number of permanent truth runes are being equipped in batches on the arcane hub ships of the Holy Inquisition and the ones spread across the universe. On the fortress star - as beings that are almost "alien" in the entire empire, both Vidoville and Void Sun can sense that the tolerance and fighting spirit of the entire civilization is approaching the critical point of transformation.

Before more distant information sources appear, the possible threats in this area that the empire can still see should not be too great.

Just consider that now, the entire empire, including Vidoville, and everyone does not want to directly enter a state of war, and really start to cause a war, the war may get out of hand.

Once the empire starts a war, the enemy they will face is the corrupt fleet of Σ civilization, which has no reason, only relies on instinct and is unfathomably powerful. In the last incident, probably thousands to tens of thousands of years ago, the Imperial Exploration Fleet entered that strange multidimensional world and bombed Σ's "Watch Tower" in a state of emergency. The Corrupted Fleet turned its attention entirely to a civilization that might yet be marked as needing to undergo "rectification" of unknown nature.

And just before the Σ decisive battle flagship relied on its own wave of destruction and influence, it could be said that it swept across the entire empire without doing anything, and before civilization was about to perish, the entire Σ fleet retreated without knowing anything. Escaped into the depths of the void. Vidoville didn't want to get into the reasons, and there was a good chance that none would be found.

We are powerless now. Even if we have energy, everyone in the empire can probably only guess that good luck has once again protected civilization:

Before Weisrifan was "reborn", Cassia described that the Second Capital World had suffered an unusually direct attack from the Death Tide Gate, and Weisrifan was also directly infected at that time - contaminated The underlying protocol is enough to destroy the entire civilization. Even if she has enough power to temporarily rely on the final order to protect a few people, it is impossible to take herself offline to cut off the spread of contamination. What is most coincidental is that the decisive battle flagship was locked when it invaded that world. Almost all of that world's external communication paths, and even more coincidentally, the ship itself had almost no logic.

In any case, as long as the decisive battle flagship stays longer, it is very likely that it can completely destroy the entire empire, or at least destroy the imperial capital. If both emperors die, then the network that maintains the entire civilization will completely collapse. If it really reaches that point, the civilization will disintegrate on its own even if there are no enemies. Fortunately, that kind of moment will never come again.

What is somewhat embarrassing now is that no matter whether the Star Empire wants to directly start cleaning up the corrupt ghosts that block everything on the way forward, as the territory of civilization expands again, those who were discovered by Victorville and whose internal environment is widespread The unstable and fluctuating world has gradually become a "stumbling block" to the main direction of advancement for several empires.

No matter how directional the information communication using crystal energy is, it is difficult to ensure that a world can "actually exist" only in the eyes of the world that needs to be communicated. Moreover, we must also consider the civilization of the Star Empire as it continues to expand. Various possible disturbances that may occur and can spread over a wide area in the void——

Although the empire is currently unable to directly detect what items are contained in the remaining information disturbances of Σ civilization, the eyes of the Arcane Throne can detect some things that are obscure even at the information level by detecting symbolism and connections. , changes flowing slowly in the dark.

The current imperial world, after being born into a completely crystallized world, then merged into the network, has become a new node in this ever-evolving aggregate. During these processes, the underlying data of the world will "change". ——Σ must have the ability to directly retrieve the source of information disturbance. Even if the "enemy" has suffered heavy losses, any items that are thought of must be taken into consideration. When the empire develops to a certain level, no matter how hidden it is, the huge information sources incorporated into the empire will probably light up the empire.

"Your Majesty, a joint report from the First, Second and Fourth Sky Areas. The void communication scanning array created after the latest complete analysis found that several of the seriously polluted worlds you marked are indeed There is a small amount of regular information sent and received, and we tried our best to check some of the communication waves that lost their external shielding under the influence of the death wave."

"Did you find anything?"

"The information leaked from the sending and receiving sources is suspected to be some kind of autonomous communication, regular information such as regular log sending and receiving. Although we cannot directly decipher the specific content due to the encryption of direct meaning expression, but in the black box detection In this case, we can determine that the format of the overall information can be confirmed to be repeated over and over again, without much specific value."

"And after we conducted an "extended" analysis based on the void offset of those communication waves, we found that those information waves basically pointed to the distant depths of the void or to empty coordinates where no world existed... It looked like a Even if the consciousness of a huge creature has completely died, the autonomic nerves in the remaining body tissues can still perform some basic reflexes."

"Alas..." On a majestic black "plain" that was wider than the earth, Victorville looked at the purple light rising from the distant horizon like an aurora, and the more distant white-gold light that seemed to be projected from another world. Guang Guang covered his forehead and sighed repeatedly,

"If you leave those worlds alone, I am afraid that sooner or later those worlds will send out information that is harmful to the empire. And if you intervene directly, I am afraid that no matter how fast the destruction is, it will still attract attention in the distant void... In any case, this None of the series of battles will go smoothly... Until now, all we have faced are entanglements - and these entanglements have not even been transferred to the war itself that we have to face, this is just a prelude."

"Your Majesty, it is estimated that the number of observable units that Σ once possessed would even need to be counted based on extremely or even larger measurement scales... This does not include the illusory scene we had not seen at the time. The unit."

"We couldn't imagine what that meant."

Although this thought wave and its number have not changed, Cavinriel's identity on Vidoville, the largest information exchange platform in the empire, has become more and more biased towards being the "Spokesperson of the First Sky Zone". Now , in front of Victorville, the entire empire network became more and more connected into a huge whole composed of "blocks" that could spontaneously expand.

Maybe in the future, except for a few times when I can take a short break in the capital universe or the capital world of other regions, I can directly have face-to-face formal communication with these "people". At other times, I may face a large number of different people. It’s a big node.

"What is the preparedness status of each region?"

"The empire's local defense has been fully prepared, and the celestial defense fleet has been fully prepared. The "Mobile Territory" full battle sequence has become the basic configuration that can be freed in every world. With a fleet of 50 million crystal energy and arcane warships, The mixed fleet is based on a "territory fleet" with a star enlightenment and a holy inquisition as the highest strength, and 100 million small local defense fleets floating in each fortress galaxy. Each of our current worlds has the ability to resist the enemy. The largest Σ fleet encountered in the decisive battle of the flagship is also capable of directly suppressing and completely destroying any Death Tide Gate that appears in any world."

"Hmm..." Vidoville silently activated the currently recorded "Void Map" in his heart. The area beyond the entire "Dark Fault" is still unknown, and in this seemingly desolate area, the map representing the imperial world The pale golden light spots are expanding to the many worlds contaminated by the death tide that he has discovered, as well as the multi-dimensional eggshell world with a very novel structure, and are slowly "surrounding" those worlds.

No matter what happens next, it is inevitable to touch and activate the remaining connections in those worlds and attract a large wave of hatred from the unknown void. The preparations are not sufficient yet, but it is impossible to be fully prepared:

Up to now, the level the empire is at and the enemies it faces, at least for now, it is difficult for the two parties to engage in "intelligence warfare". Direct information can be encrypted and structurally destroyed. The instant self-destruction makes it almost impossible for both parties involved in the war to extract any intelligence from the other party's communications, and the physical capture now seems more like a joke——

Whether it is infiltration or encirclement and suppression, the information exchange unit at the highest level often represents the strongest and highest level of protection, and the "target" is rarely an existence with a truly stable entity.

It is true that the current corrupted remains can be completely paralyzed through external damage and then directly intervene to try to excavate them. However, even if the data can be cracked, those severely corrupted remains often seem to rely on the underlying neural activity. How much useful information there is in the data chain is still completely unknown, and it is also questionable whether the data can still represent the latest situation after a large-scale natural disaster.

Also, if preparations were made based on the units assembled during Σ's "bridge building", it would probably take at least hundreds of billions or even trillions of years for the empire to barely reach balance in terms of numbers. However, the counterpoint The dark stars and crescent moons of Xingqi and Holy Inquisition are almost free of charge over there in Σ. How many units have been wiped out by the death wave, and how many units have survived and reappeared in those 120,000 years? Crawling all over the Σ Wasteland, these conditions are almost completely unknown.

At present, I am afraid that nothing can be determined, but the empire at least needs to be sure that its judgment on some short-term goals is reliable in order to continue to develop.

The empire's way forward is full of entanglements and last resorts, and no one can see clearly what the future will be like - the most powerful information matchers, or prophets and probability collapsers, cannot form such a huge amount of information. development line correction.

Everything in the future may not be stable, and everything here may be modified at any time.

The future may be brilliant, or it may be dead silence. Who knows? Dead silence represents destruction.

This story needs to be written together, and all the people who write it may unknowingly modify all the details of the story.

"...continue to ensure the speed of expansion, take one step at a time, and wait and see." After confirming that the model could only be built up to how many battle sequences the empire could withstand, Vidoville simply gave up the prediction and left everything to fate. , "At least... the void should protect us to some extent."

"...Huh?" A confused female voice from afar sounded in Victorville's mind.

"That's probably what it means. At the same time, we don't rule out that there are still lives and even civilizations in those polluted worlds. Please plan as much as possible. If we need to face or even come into contact with them, what we need to do..."

"We probably need to do something else."
