Star Empire

"...It has been confirmed that the capture of all key invasion and erosion model data has been completed in the different concentration intervals that can be identified within the fault zone. When the pollution "concentration" approaches a certain fuzzy threshold, the environmental damage begins to turn." Tranquility." This phenomenon is worth noting."

"The third main defense system, the tactical code name "Command Source" has been successfully activated - in a hundred years, the technical extreme deduction module has occupied a large amount of information weaving bandwidth. Considering the source and known limits of the "extreme deduction equation", some The possibility should be admitted, but should not be completely disclosed. Since the scope of knowledge restricts the depth and breadth of thinking and imagination, it can be guessed that there may be a large number of undiscovered but now-unexplored things inside the two former "doomsday arks". Secrets that already exist objectively... Even if all historical connections and actual connections have been completely severed, and the spacecraft itself has limitations on relevance, there may still be a huge operability range..."

"The doomsday reports that have been obtained should be re-evaluated...Under the huge gap in levels, the evaluation may produce unexpected deviations."

"All equipment corresponding to the "Attack Mapping Split System" that may be equipped on the Σ Decisive Battle flagship can be "layer split" when it takes effect. It is currently confirmed that the effective height that the three major systems can achieve cannot be achieved through simple superposition concepts and rules. To. When fighting high-concentration dead tide pollution, it can be confirmed that a multi-layered defense system is more efficient..."

While dealing with the constant incoming wave of death pollution, Vidoville is also constantly sorting out the "model use experience" it has accumulated during this period. Compared with the direct confrontation with the decisive battle flagship functional branch and the Σ subsidiary fleet, although the overall environment of the fault zone is more harsh and corrupt, the decisive battle flagship, the most dangerous enemy, no longer has such a strong pointing ability.

At the same time, since he does not need to take care of the garrison fleet, the part of the information verification bandwidth that was previously separated can also be recovered. In addition, Vidoville is not currently at the core of the once most dangerous fault zone. Therefore, Vidoville is actually We are facing less pressure than before.

…

"It has been confirmed that the self-consistent law armor of this ship is in contact with the endless jump power source - the self-consistent law armor may not be absolutely dead, it still has some kind of "evolutionary activity". This evolutionary activity is consistent with the connection between the armor structure and the power source, It can be deeply confirmed that the overlapping model in this armor layer can be repaired through the endless jump power source. However, according to the overall model of the self-consistent law armor, it is found that the self-consistent law armor also has extremely strong antagonistic properties for self-accessible mapping. ——This layer of armor can be repaired, but cannot be directly increased or decreased."

"Given the current circumstances, it has been decided not to proceed with destructive testing."

"The full-strength activation of the borderline system will completely cut off its connection with everything around it, and the existential network will also be obscured - this system should not be activated to full strength again unless the situation is absolutely irreversible..."

Even for Vidoville himself, the feeling brought about by the full-strength activation of the border system can be said to be absolutely uncomfortable.

The moment the boundary line is closed, everything seems to disappear from before your eyes. Vidoville is still able to see something through her eyes. In the new perspective that is recalled, all objects around him except himself have disappeared. The infinitely changing boundary environment may reflect countless layers of its own shadow, and the next moment it may instantly transform the infinite depth of chaotic light and shadow directly into endless darkness. Such an environment is also full of unreality and oppression for Vidoville himself. As the border system continues to grow in intensity, some things that were once obscured are coming to light.

In addition to the connection system that can be built by real and virtual information, Vidoville also discovered some connection objects that are relatively more obscure, but have higher actual information intensity - the influence caused by oneself, and some... …It seemed to be someone else’s memory of him, and when these contents were exposed, Vidoville reacted almost instantly and decided not to activate the boundary line to the highest intensity in a short period of time…

During the short startup process, Vidoville even vaguely saw some vague shadows that were not fully revealed yet - no matter what they were, it was probably not a good idea to fully reveal them.

And some of the fractures that have appeared have aroused Vitouville's vigilance - in theory, impressions, memories and other related traces left by oneself to other existences should eventually become a closed-loop structure, and in this closed-loop structure, Vitouville Deauville and the two main flagships are themselves part of the ring. The appearance of these fractures may mean that others' memories and influence on oneself have been damaged...

…

There is no doubt that there is a model that once existed in theory and was temporarily forgotten during the period of cognitive reorganization between the ancient federation and the old empire. Now I am afraid... it will show its power.

After the first death of crystal energy life, researchers at all levels of the empire began to pay attention to various afterimages and phenomena that would not disappear for a long time - they may represent some once illusory existences. .

And between these subjects and countless objects, there is a large network woven by those ethereal and invisible connections that spread across different levels of existence structures.

This large network is a structure that has been in available conjecture models since the ancient federation, but has not been confirmed for a long time. Conjectures and research on these structures even support the original information unification conjecture to a considerable extent.

At least in the history of the Federation, there has never been a transcendent conjecture that is absolutely deviant and unsupported by any phenomena that can "stand up" after being put on the table - although this academic process is accompanied by great understanding of the limits. They ended with the advent of stagnation, but they at least existed on the real academic stage.

…

The first individuals to propose the relevant theoretical system were the modelers responsible for the virtual construction of consciousness and environment during the final period of the old Federation, the last glorious moment before the arrival of the Great Stagnation. At that time, the remaining "Empire" created a large number of memetic contamination creations that could destroy consciousness and conduct mental processes, as well as the physical phenomena in space that contained them.

In order to find out the resistance related to it, the Federation used considerable power at that time to verify the self-consistency and stacking progression of simulated consciousness. The description of the simulated environment where consciousness is located, the structure of simulated consciousness itself, and the upper and lower construction levels gradually began to appropriate a concept used in ultra-fine processing recording:

Narrative layer/narrative system.

There is a relatively detailed explanation of this model in those old knowledge systems that have been preserved by crystals and have been turned to dust after several baptisms: based on the real environment, which is the highest known story source at present. , the entire creation level built using computing devices and network data that can accommodate virtual consciousness and virtual environments and ensure their interactivity and self-consistency is called secondary narrative. The similar environment built again based on the environment within the secondary narrative can be deduced in this way.

In theory, a story built in such an ideal model can be iterated indefinitely, stripping away all realistic requirements.

In order to overcome some of the obstacles that had made it difficult to move forward, the Federation at that time conducted absolutely profound research on this. However, after the end of the war, the weight of this part of the research results was greatly reduced after gradually losing their military value, and was even converted to The research target of the giants of the federal entertainment system - however, the research related to it seemed to have completely suppressed the ultimate fear for a time. Until now, in my own place, a new and perhaps more comprehensive void model has replaced all the logical infinite structures in the past.

Words such as self-perception, idealism, brain in a vat, and the phenomena they represent have actually been plaguing the Federation’s philosophical system in the old era, and the relationship between these words and the Federation’s cognitive limits and ultimate fear has always been entangled and difficult to sort out. . Claims such as everything being a simulation have never lost their popularity because they cannot be proven, and the details often arouse fear until the results of the experiments are widely publicized, and these fears dissipate with the announcement of the results... Now Come to think of it, that seems a bit strange, coincidental...maybe not normal.

Now that I think about it, there may be misunderstandings in this, and even the past understanding may be biased - their creation and being created essentially come from the same baseline, and such a unified baseline and homologous structure may be just a simpler creation and being. The relationship between creations cannot, and is unlikely to, reach that level of difference...

For the entire empire, this content has not yet been fully announced, but the method used at that time to describe the properties of matter itself is still applicable now... This will not be noticed due to thinking barriers. A possible breakthrough...?

After the entire memory system experienced deviations and errors, Vidoville thought of two possibilities.

The first is that in the long and high-intensity war, the souls and residual existence of a large number of imperial soldiers who died in battle have not completely dissipated, and their impact is still there. The describable parts of the "dead" themselves at present still have vague residual structures - this property may be manipulated in the future, and a large number of individuals currently recognized as hard casualties can be transformed into soft casualties. One day, it will It may be a direct means of stopping losses.

Another conjecture is horrifying - in the previous six thousand years of war, the memory system of the empire's flagship itself has been invisibly obliterated by Doomsday-Creation. Those powerful and invisible firepower It was not completely deflected and split by the Immortal Wall and the half-strength border line. Some of the chaotic tides may have attacked the extended existence structure that was not noticed by Vidoville himself - the Immortal Wall and the border line are indeed capable. Block Doomsday-Creation's attack, but...

No matter how strong the defense system is, it cannot provide protection for beings that are not originally protected by the defense system. If so, the consequences of the lack can be said to be quite slight, even insignificant - if everything can really be integrated into one Story, if the narrative system can really describe all things, and can be detailed, extended, and practical to such an extent, then the consequences of separation and fragmentation... I am not sure what the consequences will be, but no matter what, Relevant speculations and arguments cannot be taken lightly...

After roughly studying all the current extended "existences", Vidoville guessed that the narrative structure related to the empire may exist at multiple levels in different fields and different scopes - from the deviation of the star track that may appear after a gaze or slight disturbance. From now on, right up to the current entire empire, these systems at different levels, energy levels and levels can carry different influences and memory strengths...

Once these structures are completely destroyed, or after completely activating the boundary line, Vidoville still doesn't know what kind of changes they will show, but this test alone is absolutely certain that if the boundary line is now It would definitely not be a good idea if the time was too long - the connection between everything in the empire and oneself was too strong.

Everything happens for a reason. This sentence is also applicable now. To build something, then such thing must have a construction purpose, a builder, construction equipment, etc. After the construction is completed, the creation itself will also change due to its own activity trajectory. It continues to leave an impact on the surrounding environment, and these effects, in turn, are the environment's memory of the creation itself - then, what will be the consequences if all the attached parts that originally extended out of the creation are cut off and annihilated? ?

The erasure of the structural narrative structure is equivalent to the future being able to directly shatter the already formed past. Different from the deletion of records or the forgetting of entries, based on the results that Vidoville can currently obtain, completely destroying all traces of certain existences can be said to fundamentally cut off the creation from being able to contact reality at the relevant environmental level. All ways to the environment, and at the same time completely shattered all reasonable ways for the creation to exist under normal conditions——

If a part has never been manufactured by any equipment or used in any way, then why is it here?

Now, this "part" can be said to be most of the empire.

It is undeniable that the Empire has definitely not done nothing in the past hundreds of thousands of years. From the time when the cosmic benchmark stability anchor began to control the world until the Empire's technology began to be driven by the technological extreme deduction module, the Empire has been working hard to adapt to the constant changes in the world. Changing environment. A high-end technology cannot be used directly. The empire certainly knows this. However, compared with the reality of drastic changes, these adaptive methods are far from enough. Vidoville believes that if he completely maintains the length of the border, If time operates, then most of the empire may collapse due to the complete concealment of the foundation of its past existence. And after the borderline state is lifted, what will happen to those masked existences that come into contact with their origins again? I don’t yet know what will happen. You know, there is only one thing that is certain -

Crystal energy and mathematical rate fuzzy technology can indeed produce very strong fuzzy adaptability, that is, the ability to resist paradoxes, but in terms of the problems that have been exposed now, this is far from enough.

As for whether there is a solution? Vidoville believes that there must be one - the reason for the emergence of various technologies is because the developers of the technology want to achieve their goals, and since there is such a goal, relevant technical means will inevitably appear - after realizing After these situations, Vidoville can immediately think of the roughest "processing method" - strengthening the self-consistency of the unit itself, adding a historical line broadcast hub within the empire network, and conducting "fake information" when the border line is activated with high intensity. Compensation etc.

The details definitely need further study, but the path to reducing negative impacts is definitely feasible.

Not to mention that the original source of these devices is Σ, and Σ has an unimaginably long history. Since they can do this, reality can fully prove that they have highly integrated everything they have and can enable them to operate stably.

Including itself, the empire still must try its best to understand what the technologies it has mastered can actually do, and what impact they may have on the empire itself, especially as this final cognitive frontier begins to expand violently. moment - if technology always comes first, then if the understanding cannot keep up with the technological frontier, the technology is likely to reach a bottleneck very soon. The current Shengyin Praise Fortress can exert such power at the previous level. , which is already approaching the limit of cognition.

As for other fragmented research projects that were originally carried out but the results were not clear, or the results were only generalizable at the cognitive level at that time, in this short century, there will also be some after the intervention of the narrative structure. A more complete and detailed explanation, such as the doomsday model once mentioned by Zhai Cahir.

At the beginning, the various phenomena encountered by the empire could indeed verify his conjecture and rationality. But the problem is that the world itself is in motion but unity of opposites. Some models cannot explain why the information model that has been following the world trend and changes every moment will break all its historical closed loops after the end of the world. And then unfolding - this is equivalent to every moment in the world deriving a world line with intensity comparable to reality. However, except for the cosmic benchmark stabilizing anchor that has been transformed several times, even the empire does not have many devices that can save snapshots of the entire world at all times.

Now, something new can be added to this model. After the end of the world, the whole world shattered and unfolded, not only including all the details in the world. In the process of accumulation in the world for trillions of trillions of years, various details in the world have already passed through various forms. In a way, the influences that have always been produced are integrated into each other.

For example, no matter how tiny a star is to the universe, as long as it loses energy due to gravitational waves, its influence can be amplified by the gravitational field to the entire universe, and then be remembered by the universe.

At the moment of the end of the world, everything in the world changes from closed to open, which is equivalent to the original highly wrinkled depiction paper being stretched out again, becoming more fragile and easier to write on. During that "time" when conventional legal principles can directly affect the predetermined and eternal history of the universe, many things may become more interesting.

There is still a long way to go - even for himself, Vidoville probably doesn't dare to know that he can figure out everything he imagines. However, this road must be continued. Power has never brought back any happiness. If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. This weight does not only refer to responsibilities and obligations.

…

"The destructive power... is still not enough." Looking at the purple-gold light and shadow that was constantly eating away at the structure of the fault zone in the vast territory, Vidoville shook his head slightly while adjusting his information assignment ability that had reached its limit.

It should be said that the secret veil of the narrative layer has been initially lifted, but even if this veil is lifted, for now, I am afraid that only I can do it, or it will be possible to use a single point only after the number of Holy Music Praise Fortresses is doubled several times. reach this level. Not to mention the possible impact, just to be able to achieve that level, the information manipulation methods required are enough to surprise and even scare the people of the Empire.

However, for the current situation, it may be urgent to take action to solve the problem on your own - war can always promote development, and the empire has been developing for a long time under the highest degree of pressure in memory. If it does not continue Dealing with the problems exposed in it, I am afraid that sooner or later, mistakes and omissions will destroy the entire structure.

Around him, a large area has been forcibly purified and blown away by powerful forces, and the large environment has begun to become quiet in a situation that is similar to a black space.

Above and below the two giant ships, the extremely extended "celestial axis" lights up this dark and empty quiet area.

Around these two celestial axes with obviously different properties, there are dazzling flashes of light and massive arrays of runes.

After his thoughts and understanding reached a new and terrifying level, Vidoville has re-examined the power he possesses.

"The end of the star array, the sacred will assignment is completed, and the first attempt begins -"

The violently expanding light dispersed the sea of ​​clouds and extinguished the lightning. On an endless and distant scale, it rivaled the blood-colored rift valley deep in the core of the fault zone.

"Target - Fault Zone Structure, Its Story."
