Star Empire

The response speed of the military intelligence center was shocking.

"Five hours..." Cavinriel thought for a moment, "It seems that this news is indeed explosive... If I guessed correctly, for the sake of safety, such communications will use disposable messenger probes as The transmission node...considering the round-trip speed of the probe...they issued the order without any hesitation..."

After a comprehensive inspection of the spacecraft and Cavinriel, the spacecraft crossed the magnificent warped wall.

"The channel is clear and the resonant frequency docking is completed. Science Officer, I wish you good luck."

As the warped space bubble completely closed, and after a violent distortion of starlight, the spacecraft disappeared into deep space.

Inside the warped world bubble, Kalost was still thinking about the words the science officer left for himself before setting off. Currently, no more individuals have woken up in the emergency medical section. Eskett and Torres are currently responsible for monitoring their situation. They originally wanted to use their own power to try to separate the golden substance in those who are still unconscious. , but this idea was stopped by Cavinriel. He did not explain the situation in detail, but explained that rashly terminating the adaptation process would most likely cause irreversible damage to their souls.

This part is just a simple academic instruction, but what Calust finds hard to believe is that "the golden vortex is an ongoing creation phenomenon." In all previous theoretical models, the universe should be a completely closed system after its birth. , it is impossible for a second creation to occur, and Cavinriel's words completely broke this original iron law.

For the first time, Caloust felt how quickly the fate of the entire federation was about to turn.

===================

When Cavinrel's spaceship returned from the warped space bubble, he was surprised to find that the mask covering the military intelligence center used to deal with various emergencies had been lifted.

In space, in contact with full-band anti-phased optical stealth, the station composed of multiple translucent silver-gray nuclear armor "boxes" has been fully exposed in space. In contact with the warped space bubble, the spacecraft In the process of gradually crossing the space with conventional power, Cavinrel could clearly see the white light spot in the distance rapidly enlarging, and in the surrounding space, there seemed to be some total reflection mirrors remaining - from The light from distant stars will be slightly distorted and "lost" when passing here.

His spaceship was directly guided to dock at the emergency connection area. It seemed... that the highest level of the entire federation could not completely keep their composure when they heard the news.

After going through complex security procedures, the Science Officer met the Military Archon in a chamber protected by multiple layers of armor and interference fields.

"During the time you went to investigate the golden vortex, I have been worried about you and everyone inside the Warp Wall." Vidoville disconnected the high-bandwidth data link for work and walked straight to Kavin In front of Riel,

"When it first appeared, those golden lights were visible throughout the universe almost instantly. The weird properties that were completely inconsistent with the laws of physics made both Weisrifan and I really nervous for a while. The isolation measures there are very strict. In order to To avoid possible leaks, communication has been almost cut off for many months. I had imagined what you would find from that strange anomaly, but the news you brought back was too shocking. You mean, Can some of the phenomena brought about by that golden vortex prove the unified theory of information?"

Before the science officer could say anything, Vidoville immediately added: "This is a very highly encrypted emergency conference room. No matter what you say here, as long as you abide by the confidentiality regulations, it will never be leaked. People have permission to spy here."

"...Yes, Archon, in the frontline base of the isolation zone, I observed several key phenomena that should exist in the unified theory of information but have not been observed." Cavinriel nodded and activated it beside him. Opened a holographic information window:

"First of all, please allow me to introduce the theoretical model of information unification in detail. In this model, there is an infinite ocean, which contains everything and contains everything. Our universe is floating in this endless ocean. A tiny bubble in the ocean, there are countless bubbles in this ocean, and countless bubbles rise and die every minute."

"This ocean cannot be described, because all laws and theories are a tiny subset of its birth. It existed before all theories were born. In short, it contains everything, contains everything, and can be described. It is indescribable. In our opinion, even the most absurd paradox will lose its contradiction, because in that endless ocean, the concept of "contradiction" was not born at all - the supreme "zero"."

"In this ocean, in some places, sometimes a small part of the "sea water" no longer drifts with the waves, and they begin to become stable, forming the most primitive stable information fluctuations. In the fluctuations, the rules slowly solidify , order began to sprout, and countless universes, including ours, were born amidst such chaotic information fluctuations. This ocean itself has no possibilities, but it contains all possibilities. Therefore, it It can decay into almost anything we can imagine."

"Well, let me ask a few questions here. First of all, if it is explained according to the theory of unified information, then is this infinite ocean composed of information? The birth of the universe is when part of the information begins to appear randomly and in order. Free combination? Also, in your wording just now, you mentioned the word "decay", why did you choose this word?"

"Archon, regarding your first question, I need to correct you. This endless existence is not made up of information. In fact, we have no way to find any appropriate words to describe it. Because of our existence, we Everything we attach to, everything we understand, and everything we create are all based on order, and order is just a type of product that can be born from that ocean, and it is just a subset that can be described."

"Any existence that can be described is a system based on order. Just like our civilization, no matter how hard it tries to conceive of an extremely chaotic environment, it cannot correspond to that ocean, because all systems based on order The concepts in it all have order, but its order cannot be understood by us."

"Compared with the true state of the ocean, the word chaos is not enough to describe it, because what the word itself can describe is also the product of order. And the reason why I want to use the word "decay" is because in such a process , part of this ocean is just like a heavy nucleus losing some of its nuclei. After losing the "disordered" part and some "ordered" parts, what is left constitutes a universe like ours."

"Order is born from chaos. Such a statement is often described in ancient literature with high-sounding meaning, but here, when these elements that have no concept but contain everything take off the disordered part and some order components, it no longer No matter how complete it is, it no longer contains everything, but solidifies into a stable state. I think it is more appropriate to call this process "decay"."

"In addition, the meaning expressed by the unified theory of information is not that this ocean is composed of information, but that the first state of this ocean's downward transformation in all directions is the most essential information state, and there are certain patterns in this transformation. It will continue to decay and differentiate into such a main material universe, and some transformation modes will be stable in the first state for a long time. According to my research results during this period, the constituent elements of the golden vortex, It’s a first state of decay.”

After saying this, the science officer took a step back slightly, while Victorville made a chair form on the ground, sat down with his forehead on his hands and quietly sorted out every word that Cavinriel said to him just now.

Vidoville did not think about it for too long. After being exposed to this theory and considering some of the current situations, he was also one of the supporters of this theory and he still knew the basic knowledge in this area.

"Based on your newly added part, from my understanding, this model is like this. In a boundless ocean that can include everything, some components begin to "decay" under the influence of some reasons. The first stable state, and these first stable states are complete information fluctuations. In the process of evolution, some first stable states will continue to differentiate and spread and eventually form the material universe, while some will stabilize, like this ?"

"Yes, Archon." Cavernelle continued to add, "The material universe was created by the slow "cooling" of the initial irregular information fluctuations. Everything in the universe, including matter, time, space, Laws and so on are all derivatives that are gradually differentiated and "cooled" from the simplest and crudest fluctuations of information. Therefore, the most original component of everything is information, and of course this includes us. As far as we are concerned, Judging from the models that can barely be carried out, we may only be able to study the most intuitive material-related content first... It seems to be at the terminal of some kind of decay cooling, which is relatively convenient to control the process."

"Rationality tells me that these theories are correct, but after such a detailed understanding, it is a bit difficult to accept some of the details."

Vidoville sat up and stared into the eyes of the science officer, "For a long time, the research on extremely microscopic aspects has not been going smoothly. Except for some special materials produced by information computers, we have no way to shield ourselves from uncertainty. Due to the influence of sex, we have never isolated the fundamental particles that are completely indivisible."

"But no matter which model we come from, we can get that everything in the world is composed of matter, at least some structures and other things that can be regarded as entities for the time being. Existences like souls that can be completely encoded by data are considered to be just It’s just a coincidental compatibility, but after you prove the correctness of the unified theory of information, everything is reversed. It’s all composed of information, but the final cooling product is different.”

"Actually, these theories are not completely deviant from common sense." Cavinriel met the sharp gaze of the military consul without any change in his eyes. "In the big bang model of the singularity of the universe, the universe was composed of pure light and energy in the very early days. After the inflation, the background temperature of the primordial space continued to decrease and cooled, allowing the various basic particles in the current model to It exists stably in the universe, and the primordial force was also split into several basic forces in the process. In terms of description, there is not much difference between the two processes."

"But one thing is that we have a history of more than 30 billion years. During this long time, there will always be some ideas or cultural cognitions that have been precipitated. Regarding the information body, even now, most citizens have subconsciously People still think that only virtual intelligence that exists in the network and various devices is composed of data or information." At this point, Vidoville changed his subject.

"However, life is a stable material structure - so is our overall world view. If we directly disclose the unified theory of information and confirm its scientific nature, then this will inevitably cause a certain impact in society. After all, The logic component of the average citizen is not strong enough to harmlessly correct cognitive biases of this magnitude.”

"Maybe there will be a lot of problems..." Cavinrel agreed, "I know you have to think more carefully..."

"But if our civilization is to continue to grow, then we must take this step, no matter how painful it may be."

Cavinrel stated without changing his face, "Currently we have encountered technical bottlenecks in many aspects, including dimensions, microscopic observation, and energy collection and utilization. We have all stalled. If we do not bring in the unified theory of information, Then even the current Federation's most proud territory-wide information collection network project is based on the theoretical black box of information computers. If our eyes still stay on the theories that can be revealed at the material level, then we can only Can be trapped here, trapped in this universe, and completely disappear with the Big Crunch or heat death in the distant future."

"I will first notify Vesrifan and Zhai Cahir and ask them to come together for re-certification and discuss the preliminary announcement plan. Later, this issue and some of its details will be handed over to the Aldosil Grand Council. After deliberation, it is passed through parliament and then extended to ordinary citizens.”

Vidoville made a little plan, "However, many specific internal arrangements need to be decided by Weisrifan, and I have no right to interfere in the area she is responsible for. As far as I know, there are two other people who are interested in the unified theory of information. There should be two people with a deeper understanding and equal authority to you. During this period, you and they can exchange opinions and sort out a newer, more detailed and easier to understand and accept knowledge system."

Hearing this, Cavinrel felt a little relieved. It seemed that this part of the theory would not be hidden for a long time. Before the meeting ended, the military governor asked several more questions that were more relevant to the actual situation, including the cause of the crystallization symptoms and whether the quarantine and non-military navigation ban needed to continue.

"You know, the properties embodied by the golden vortex directly point to the source of the golden light, which is the first information stable state produced by decay, and the materials that make up our bodies and equipment are produced after the pure information fluctuations are stabilized many times. The lower stable state of the lower stable state, which causes such ordinary substances to lack too many properties compared to the first stable state, and the crystallization phenomenon is the direct contact between the two. The lower stable state cannot be directly compatible with the first stable state information, thus causing conflicts. manifestation.”

"Fortunately, we can currently confirm that although the equipment failure is irreversible, people with souls can. The soul is a very magical information component. It has a strong buffering capacity for external information and adaptive capabilities. At present, we have observed two individuals who have achieved this kind of compatibility, and they both exhibit many abilities that are different from ordinary people..."

Calvin Ruil paused, "But based on the situation I know so far, I suggest that the isolation state be continued, and the alert level can be appropriately lowered, but this area cannot be reconnected to the backbone of the information collection network. The former is because this cannot The compatibility process is long and painful, and we do not have relevant data on the fusion of souls with these first-state information fluctuations. If the shielding is lifted..."

"Hmm... I don't think that's a very good idea... So we can't be sure to what extent the radiation leaked from the vortex will be harmful that requires attention. Before we determine the limit of the soul's adaptive ability It is not wise to rashly allow ordinary citizens to approach that anomaly. Moreover, one of the recovered bodies has a problem that can ignore the network permission wall. It is suspected that he may have some special attributes and break through the permission wall... If the two network segments are reconnected , then he may cause the secrets of the Federation to be leaked."

"It meets the judgment." Victorville nodded, "...Do I need to send more manpower to your side...?"

During the questioning process, Vidoville's speaking speed slowed down to a certain extent - "If you want to establish a theoretical system that is enough to promote...well, maybe you will need a lot of them. May the mathematical modeler support you...whether..."

"No, no need." Cavernrel replied subconsciously, and then he was shocked as if a bucket of cold water was suddenly poured on him, "No, I mean it is necessary...forget it, we can't get close safely now. There are too many contents of that huge golden vortex that are unclear... If you send others there... I'm afraid it won't be very efficient. We may need more suitable opportunities now so that we can proceed more effectively. Next...research..."

"Well... forget it, you took over this matter first, then you will be fully responsible for the task... I will convene the next emergency meeting as soon as possible. By the way, for the first stable state of "matter", there are currently No codename or name? The current titles such as golden substance and unknown substance are not very suitable to mention at academic conferences."

"I have an idea about this. Combining the observation data I have obtained and the most direct properties reflected by the "matter" that makes up the golden vortex, I am going to name it: [Crystal Energy]."
