Star Empire

In the dark and empty nothingness, little fluctuations form, collapse and finally converge from outside the illusory order. The last part of the crystal energy bound to the double-yoke information body will develop a short-lived order field in the void, and this order field will be completely torn apart by the pale blazing light in an instant.

As a pure imaginary weapon, the destructive power of the Spear of Nothingness is quite astonishing. However, after the order field dissipates, facing the chaotic void environment, even an imaginary strike will eventually be swept away by the invisible turbulence - in the final analysis, existence The "imaginary side" of attributes can also be considered a part of order.

Within the territory of the empire that spans the vast world, the information ripples caused by the final merger of thousands of spears of nothingness can even have a real impact on the world barrier of the surrounding world. Such "explosions" or "tearing of order" erupted one after another across the empire's territories. An almost physical chain of blazing white lightning spread rapidly among the world's networks. However... it was torn apart in the order field and dissipated. After that, nothing more was left in the void, let alone any wreckage.

"Your Majesty, we cannot lock the decisive battle flagship within the valuable time! Its virtual point convergence speed is much greater than ours!"

"Continue to track, with tracking as the first priority and capture as the second priority! Before completely losing feedback, be sure to capture all the void coordinate information that the decisive battle flagship may pass through! Be sure to ensure that the Spear of the Void has a clear view of those coordinates and nearby possible Complete destruction of the attached coordinates! As long as the decisive battle flagship leaves anything in those coordinates, the empire may pay an extremely heavy price for it!"

In the void between worlds, the pair of huge black wings jumped in the same way, scanning and locking on the ghosts traveling in the hinterland of the empire. Although the virtual point jump is extremely difficult to track, based on their millions of years of experience, Vidoville and the Empire also know some of the attributes and actual effectiveness of the virtual point jump, and how to capture the virtual point signal as much as possible - in the double yoke When the imaginary number contact points gradually eliminate the exclusive imaginary number attribute, and when the conjugate connection is back in line with the characteristics of the wide-area order, this pair of connected points will become a "guiding beacon" across countless void coordinates - different from theoretical calculations, this signal Although the standard may not exist for a long time, it can have a strong order feedback reaction. When needed, the intensity of this reaction can be unimaginably high.

As for a huge existence like the decisive battle flagship, while the self-consistent law armor is sufficient to be compatible with the information deviation gap that exists in the extremely vast void environment, it is very possible, or it is certain that it can be equipped with similar equipment like the Praise of Holy Sound. A super facility at the gate to the world. Then, in this process, the possible guidance beacon reaction and the instantaneous collapse reaction of the powerful order formed when the world gate instantaneously unfolds will become the only feedback signal of the virtual point jump that can be captured at the level of real information. .

As for Vidoville, he also has some more extreme methods——

Connections and influences. All information bodies will leave various connections and influences between themselves and the surrounding environment and other entities. Such connections and influences have various manifestations and related attributes in different scopes and levels, but no matter what, they are universal. Depending on the total amount of information and representation intensity of the source of the disturbance, its influence can be so small that after leaving the star system, the disturbed phenomena and associated effects related to it in the wider environment can be weakened to the point of being almost undetectable; or it can be so strong that it transcends The limitations of the world barrier transcend the limitations of the powerful cluster worldview differences between the void quadrants...

And the intelligible concept that is finally formed through the understanding and memory of ordered creatures through the comprehensive network formed by all information bodies influencing each other and connecting with each other is the "current hypothetical structure" that can describe everything inside and outside all ordered worlds—— It currently exists based on the structure of reality, but if we look for it in this way and from this perspective, the shadow of its true form is not incomprehensible.

By reversely analyzing the mapping connections, we have the ability to spy on the existence of these omnidirectional sets that are equivalent to all mapping connections. We can reverse the mapping relationships based on the scattered passive influences and find the source of the influence. With the help of some looming weak connections, we can maintain the Doville can capture the ghostly shadow more accurately - but that is only a more accurate capture of the "shadow".

How much weight does one or several of the endless lines of connection have relative to the source?

Jump after jump, bombing in the air again and again, the empire gradually reacted and began to fill the gaps between its territorial worlds with wide-area radar scanning waves of different densities and structures. However, even under such heavy blockades, Under the circumstances, the trajectory of the decisive battle flagship remained elusive.

"Lil, can you track that shadow?"

"I'm working hard... The shadow that exudes a terrible smell jumps very fast, and some of its actions... It's hard for me to understand. I can roughly see it, but I can't predict its subsequent actions... Maybe, At most next time.”

"I'm sorry...I don't know when I forgot that there might be a shadow lurking in that huge dark cloud..."

"This is not your fault. Now, we need to deal with the real problems as much as possible first!" In the common connection of consciousness, Vidoville began to receive some induction guidance from the Void Lieyang-Vesrifan, but Even now that all the search forces in the empire are locating the decisive battle flagship, the shadow is still a little blurry——

"Wait, this feeling, this is...our heritage-?!"

"We have made too much progress and developed too much, but we seem to have forgotten some content... Damn it! The relevant part of the background... The degree of forgetfulness cannot be confirmed, and part of reality has been reconstructed!"

…

What can be confirmed is that the decisive battle flagship must use virtual point jump for a much longer time than Vitoville, and the method of use must be more diverse than Vitoville. Even if it falls into chaos and is corroded by the death tide, the "experience" accumulated during tens of billions of years of use may be enough to carve everything related to it into the depths of the underlying nerves of those huge ghosts. In the current empire, even its own "second sword" may not be guaranteed to be captured, and interception is even more difficult, not to mention the creators of the technology and the users who are far more experienced and orthodox than themselves?

…

Flickering again and again, the shadow and the traces it left were becoming fainter and thinner. From beginning to end, it did not leave any obvious traces worth tracking of the empire's own equipment.

"...The wide-area radar scanning array found no new abnormal signals."

"No new virtual point jump traces were detected..."

"The relevant influence has weakened, and the strength of the connection line has weakened, which is already lower than the strength required for reverse exploration..."

"Your Majesty, the feedback from the joint meeting of emperors of the Tianzhu District was that no new valuable relevant information was captured..."

"Lost... The main fleet of the Zero Sky Zone is stationed in the Void Lieyang and its surrounding world. All fleets in the empire have increased the density of inspections and inspections, and strictly screened the Lieyang Order Field and the void environment around the Lieyang!" In the two general flagships In the vast ocean of information inside, Vidoville's dissatisfaction and annoyance stirred up ripples one after another, but now... the anger is meaningless.

"I'm sorry..." In a seemingly calm corner of Lieyang, the girl who had just "awakened from a big dream" not long ago felt uneasy in her heart. After a brief communication, the girl raised her head and saw Towards the sky that is so deep that it seems to swallow up feelings and consciousness. Outside the sky, many looming light spots are rapidly transforming into rounds of vast tomorrow. With a slight sigh, the girl waved her hand, and the countless violent and blazing prominences were reduced by half in an instant. Many of the jets that were reaching their peak state even disappeared directly.

"In my heart...this is what they said, the regret and...sadness that the family said? It's just that this feeling...seems to have been...very strong..." Looking at the densely packed huge fleet that almost occupies the entire sky , the girl gently covered her forehead.

"There must be something, something else must have happened to me..."

…

"Alas, the huge difference in perception that may be caused by differences in life forms has been forgotten again... The fixed thinking thread has been entered, and the priority of thinking has been improved... Forget it, even if there is data, even if I can catch up with the ship, It’s not necessarily possible to keep it... Ah, yes, in the last battle of the fault zone, the decisive battle flagship self-destructed... Is this a self-liberation or helplessness?"

In the ocean of information inside the general flagship, countless regular logical models and rune arrays floated between light and shadow, large-scale multi-dimensional matrices were folded, and countless formulas such as probability groups, density difference operators, and classification arrays shuttled back and forth. Among them, under their smelting and filtering, the "chaos senses" of Vesrifan-Void Sun were finally analyzed and quantified, and became an entity information structure that can be observed by Vidoville from the perspective of order.

"Field...yes, the decisive battle flagship is inside the field emitted by Li'er unconsciously, and such a foreign object contaminated by the death tide will leave obvious traces in the field, coupled with the vagueness that Li'er may have Perception... I understand that the existence that affects the destiny of the empire, the influence it emits, or the "pressure" is in this way to finally achieve interference with the surrounding void environment..."

"It's unimaginable that we would forget so easily, treat these things as a natural background environment, and study it for millions of years..." Faced with the new results that were gradually taking shape, Victorville had mixed feelings in his heart, " This feeling... I have experienced it several times before... Ark Exile, Doomsday and Binding..."

Numerous calculation results can be used as evidence to prove the conjecture that he established not long ago. An obvious fact is placed in front of Vidoville:

Just like the stars in the home world blow a bubble in space due to the solar wind - the stars release a large amount of high-energy charged particle streams. These "winds" containing huge energy may interact with each other on their way to deep space. The collision of interstellar dust on its path will be pulled by the gravitational pull of the star, and will interact and deflect various high-energy rays from other stars and from deep space. After this happens for a while, a weird, elongated bubble will wrap around the star, and possibly the celestial bodies around it, protecting them from direct hits from high-energy rays from deep space.

The boundary of this bubble is the heliopause, the boundary between the solar wind and the sun's sheltered area. The interior of the bubble is full of traces and influences of stellar winds.

Now, the same is true for Void Fierce Sun.

The surface of the Void Blazing Sun will emit a huge number of prominences and coronal jets. A considerable part of these jets will not return to the surface of the Blazing Sun. They will fly in the blazing sun's order field and reach the edge of the order field. And then leap into the void.

During several brief interactions with Vesrifan, Vedovel confirmed that those majestic white prominences were actually high-concentration information flows, perhaps because of the habits of its creator, or perhaps because of Vesrivan Your own habits may also be a concrete projection at a certain conceptual level - the Void Sun is very similar to the "sun", and those coronas and prominences can also correspond to the related activities and actual structures of stars.

As information with a very low degree of assignment, due to its appallingly low directivity, in later tests, the Empire even discovered that those huge prominences that stretched for hundreds of billions of kilometers but lacked directivity to events had a direct effect on a single target. The destructive power is not even as good as the most common crystal energy main gun - this may also be one of the specific manifestations of "information influence".

If these information jets have extremely strong directivity, then they can burn out twisted fractures corresponding to the conceptual and legal levels on the strongest world barrier like burning glass; but like now, they do not If it's directional, then... I'm afraid no matter how wreaking havoc they may be, it's probably no different from the breeze blowing around them.

However...it seems that Void Fierce Sun is definitely not that simple.

If the above inference was so simple that most of the functions and related attributes of the Void Fierce Sun could be determined, then nothing would happen - if the information flows stripped from the Fierce Sun directly entered the void in their original form, then Those materialized information jets will definitely be quickly swallowed up and dissipated by the void. It is certain that these random jets, which appear to have extremely low directivity within the order field, will immediately change their original information structure the moment they break away from the order field and are thrown into the void.

It is currently speculated that its final form may be similar to a wide-area void radar wave with an obscure frequency - it is still uncertain whether the factor causing this change is carried by Lieyang itself, or whether the boundary of Lieyang's order field contains the previous The information shaping model that has not been discovered by the empire... The final result is that the originally chaotic low-directional information will immediately change form after leaving the blazing sun of the void and radiate over a wide range, blowing out a bubble in the void that is similar to the solar wind. Similar structure.

Now, the entire empire is shrouded in the stellar wind of the Void Sun. The stellar wind has formed a vast field in the void environment where the empire is located - the field is very thin, with low intensity, and will also strengthen and die, even if Even a high-precision scanning radar would not have captured several more signals just because of this set. But compared to zero, even if there is a "prominence" of one ten thousandth or even one hundred millionth, the impact it may cause is absolute and obvious!

"Theoretical void fields, probabilistic lightning clusters, the laws of creation, the dismantling of imaginary numbers, the true laws of ubiquitous existence... It is unimaginable that over the past millions of years, even if the existence of void fields was known, the entire empire still regarded these as Existence has always been regarded as the objective environment and truth... What kind of disturbance and shaping did they undergo to finally appear?! What kind of interaction did they have with the original natural environment?!"

Facing the astonishing results that kept bursting out among the operators, Vidoville began to feel waves of consternation, fear and anxiety in his heart - why hadn't he thought about it like this before? Such terrible and unacceptable results, they have been around me for nearly a million years, but I have never discovered it, and I have never thought of any possibility related to it? Or even...could it be that the empire had thought about it, done it, and evaluated it before, but because the activation and shutdown of the "borderline" system of the decisive battle flagship for millions of years disturbed the stability of the narrative structure, it was first swallowed and erased and then later The release of a huge amount of entangled memories and influences has shaken many pasts and futures. The objective reality is distorted without being noticed due to causal changes. Has this caused many things in memories to subtly change many times?

objective? Or is it subjective? What is the truth? How should civilizations and empires understand the environment around them? How should I do it myself? How should cognition be finally established? Where is the boundary between void and order?

Theoretically, the void is zero, and all concepts that are understandable and incomprehensible, right and wrong, past and future, etc. need to be established in an order structure. After the order structure is lost, all the information that they can influence and interfere with will no longer exist. , they themselves will also lose their meaning - where is this limit...?

The void will spontaneously decay towards order... This is how the spontaneous creation activities in the void are born. Apart from the creation activities, outside the world barrier, various events, large and small, may be happening in the void all the time. However, the total information level of these events is too low, and their probability density is too low, so low that they will dissipate before they can accumulate enough information and "stand out"... Perhaps this is the original truth of probabilistic lightning clusters? The probabilistic lightning cluster may not be visible originally. After the field of the Void Fierce Sun covers and interacts with the void environment around the empire, the field superimposed "above" it enhances the information aggregation degree and occurrence probability of the probabilistic lightning cluster itself. This is how it was created. Is there an actual probability enrichment interval that can be exploited? Maybe the same is true for the void field?

"In addition...if the void is zero, then how did the current infinitely extended order, the various structures existing in the order, and the various laws of the order itself...come from? Are they formed naturally, or... are they shaped?"

The thinking circuit delineated by Occam's razor can no longer suppress the chaotic thinking threads that have exploded in Vidoville. The cognitive fragmentation and worldview collision caused by countless huge differences in cognitive concepts have converged to form a pressure that is enough to squeeze the world. In civilization, Amidst the multiple conflicts between survival and self-recognition, Victorville's body was pressed down by invisible weight, pressed down...

…

"The division fleet has arrived at the defensive position the next day."

"The seventh day area's temporary Sun Star Corona information guidance array is in place."

"The time trend distortion fleet array is in place, and the overall illusion mask field is in place."

"The general-purpose wide-area shield deployment device is in place, the three types of enhanced information assignment frequency broadcasters are in place, and the area protection fleet is in place."

"Ninth Day District..."

After the initial consternation dissipated, the Empire's attention began to focus on the Sun.

All material heavens, with different information assignment methods and operating modes, continuously deliver their power to this huge sun that can affect the fate of the entire empire. Between the layers of obstructions between countless high-level orbital facilities and base stations, golden, red and purple lights flashed from time to time.

Such a transfer was not part of any known plan of the empire. Even if the Empire could communicate its purpose and requirements to everyone instantly, it would take time for them to respond and they would need to consider the limits of what the Empire's existing facilities can do. Huge fleets are still arriving from various regions, and the empire's accumulated heritage over millions of years is gathered together. The countless creations guarding the structure of the order field are like stars, lighting up the space above the blazing sun in the void that has long been associated with it. A sky as dark and void as void.

"Such a scene... seems familiar..."

There are still people who remember the scene, and many people standing here have even experienced the disaster. In the underlying structure of their thinking, some dusty memories are impacting the boundaries of Occam's razor circuit.

"Your Majesty, please be careful!"

"...Well, I will do my best for everyone and my family! Be careful!"

The star corona and prominence jets widely spread on the planet's surface lost their laziness and randomness in an instant. In Weisrifan's subconscious reaction, their pointing ability was instantly enhanced. They come together to form a huge "wisdom tail" spanning countless light-years. This wisdom tail penetrates all the viscous ordered spaces and time-space directions, just like the blazing sun being swept by a storm in an instant. They passed through Qiu Wuwei's various imperial facilities at an almost infinite speed, and suddenly exploded in the vortex at the boundary of the order field.

Countless star points emerged from the order field, and a complex and profound star map appeared in the sky of the blazing sun. After a slight tremor, the bright light points gathered into bursts of heavy rain, and each spear was powerfully The stellar wind envelops and slams the source of increasing and unwelcome noise in the order field.

The first thing to start is the iteration of virtual information projection - after broadening the horizons, these iteration methods that were once considered "fuzzy bonus" seem to have a lot of new understandings. With countless nodes looking at each other and related to each other, the cognition and memory connections between different individuals become almost physical existences. They are invisible shields, armors and beliefs. Such protection...maybe hundreds or thousands of layers will not have any substantial effect, but what if there are tens of billions, hundreds of billions or even more?

Within the protective scope that gradually became thicker and clearer again, and inside the strong reality stabilization field that subsequently unfolded, hundreds of golden-red dazzling light beams began to spit out from the huge mouths of the giant "Abyss Rays". After hundreds of thousands of years of use, "barriers" have become increasingly mature and controllable in all aspects. The performance of fleet-level presence enrichment beacons has been stabilized. After network segment splitting and fleet function covariation, they can pass Network grouping serves as the discrete core of a large fleet cluster.

In the chaotic gap between the Lieyang Order Field and the void boundary, dark and dense clouds are constantly accumulating. The thick clouds are gradually accelerating and rotating, forming a terrifying whirlpool that swallows the sky. Countless streams of bright light and brilliant star points erupted in the clouds and mist, creating numerous cracks. However, after a brief burst, they will freeze as if frozen, and then dissipate silently. A thick black-red stream of light began to seep out of the vortex. In the depths of the vortex, countless black lightnings pass through it, and as they extend and expand, they split into countless ferocious branches. Between the branches, there are negatives of the starry sky swimming.

Standing apart from the thick clouds that cover the sky are the countless raging prominences on the surface of the blazing sun. The blazing star corona layer is gradually forming a structure that can contain the strong reality stabilization field and the order correction wide-area fusion field under the control of Weisrifan. Between the jungle of thousands of golden-red light beams piercing the sky, each ship in the fleet matrix began to generate an invisible film, and these dim light films did not entirely belong to themselves - each ship's partial protection The shields will be broadcast by the Crystal Matrix, connecting them to the entire fleet. The remaining contributions from countless ships were intertwined to form a solid and thick joint shield in the sky, forming a city wall that flew to the sky.

"The fleet is ready, contact the main flagship, Lieyang——"

Suddenly, silence fell.

Space seems to be completely frozen.

In the depths of the chaotic whirlpool, the majestic body of the decisive battle flagship is almost worthless compared to this whirlpool, but the sudden light-up reaction from the whirlpool...

The instantaneous appearance of a specific point in the imperial fleet's wide-area scanning array is no less than creating a starry sky in the third-order field of vision.

Now, in this narrow and chaotic order field, there are at least three layers of virtual or real starry sky superimposed.

In just a short moment, the turbulent waves set off between two sets of huge information bodies submerged the last bit of tranquility inside this special and heavy order field. Amidst the chaos, the foundation of reality was being burned by the intertwined torrent.

Anxious, tug-of-war, intense... In such a battlefield, firing can reach the most brutal limit, leaving no room for buffering.

…

"The interference is breaking through - the communication has been connected, Your Majesty, the Void Sun has encountered the most serious attack, and several new-level flagships have been discovered in the invading enemy fleet... The number is huge, and it is confirmed that the enrichment beacon can block the doomsday after the diversion - Creation information flow..."

"...Encountered a large number of enemy fleets in several directions, and at the same time discovered large-scale unstable information fluctuations...The order priorities of all Holy Music Praise Fortresses in the empire were modified, and they immediately supported the Lieyang Battlefield. I then arrived -"

"No, be careful-"

…

Compared with words and data drawings, the waves of consciousness containing the meaning of these words can span distant time and space more quickly.

However, even waves of consciousness require time to be coded and woven.

Now... there is no time.

…

"--What?"

This is the question left in the last thread of thought of countless souls.

The hot black-red blood mist swallowed up countless wisdom and souls.

The trajectory of the chaotic torrent penetrated the order field of the blazing sun, pouring out from all possible directions. The core beams of light of the fleet were extinguished one by one, and the Xingqi Fortress was melted, turning into streaks in the dancing blood mist. In the fleeting afterimage, countless curling and ferocious cracks appeared in the joint shield, and the corresponding fleet blocks were instantly blown into pieces of wantonly expanding dust.

The iconic black-red light of Doomsday-Creation penetrated the massive fleet defense line. Their aftermath passed through the protection of the order field, like fierce sunlight burning through the sky, penetrating through the gaps in the thick clouds, illuminating The bright and dark sea surface. Only now, the scene is reversed.

The girl's sight at the last moment was filled with not only the powerful black-red light of chaos, but also the endless anger, endless mania and noise of countless powerful but empty wills that had been tortured to extreme distortions behind the light. Countless murmurs with no details to be found, and... intricate, boundless, bottomless shadows.

"Lil! Cassia!! No...wait, is it...the trend!!"
