Star Empire

…

"well……"

In the charming and weird light and shadow, a few weak, helpless, and even some smart sighs flashed away among the "wreck" of the world with the help of the remaining crystal energy field structure.

After this insignificant disturbance, several rays of light flashed from the depths of the gap between the edge of chaos and the barrier of order condensed into sharp blades that were enough to completely cut the world apart. They severed all spatial and temporal connections between the central core and the entire world. The connection cuts off all coexistence, influence, and causality between that structure and the world.

Immediately afterwards, the core, together with everything related to the core, and the imperial equipment group that was still struggling to maintain the structure of the entire world at the last moment, all dissipated completely. The original position of the core was filled with a mass of continuously squirming, pure enough to capture people's attention. The soul is filled with darkness - it is a black space.

Invisible pressure spread, and the broken fractures composed of crystals finally tore open the barrier between the order structure and the void of light and shadow. They spread wantonly in space, penetrating the stars, shattering the astrolabe, and spreading across tens of billions of people. On the grand scale of light years, everything is connected, and everything is destroyed and distorted...

This is a very funny scene - the black space itself is undetectable, but the "failure boundary" of the black space can be determined. Even if the central stasis field and all the attached equipment are all dug away... the three-rank projection formed will be nothing more than It is just a ball with a diameter of tens of millions of kilometers. For the magnificent universe created by the law of creation of the void, even if it is a drop in the ocean, it is impossible to describe the increasingly crazy effects of this small black space on the surroundings. The large and small connections between the endless universe...

However, after the equipment group and the stability maintenance matrix are removed, the outer world structure will indeed collapse because of this - they originally serve the central equipment group and exist to provide a stable environment for the entire central equipment group.

The unstable vast starry sky needs to be annihilated along with that point just because there is a problem with one of the trillions of points... Is this some kind of pure ridiculous farce caused by insufficient technology, or is it a matter of quantity and rules in the face of rules? Can low-weighted extensions only choose to give in, or is there some other more strange reason...?

When numbers exceed the scale of a universe and exceed the limits of previous perception... the extra parts may become illusory and distorted...

...who knows?

"...the end of the world has arrived. It has been observed that more than 90% of the world lines have been closed into rings. Under normal conditions, they will no longer respond to external information interaction."

"...This type of world is too strong and the natural disturbance effect is low. For the operation of the solid world wreckage, start the "ring explosion" process and pay attention to monitor all the world wreckage that survived the first-order doomsday event - which of them may It contains many information structures that were completely reshaped by the forces of creation, the apocalyptic environment and the basic conditions of the void at the end of the world, and they may have unexpected value."

"...How many possible resources have we wasted before..."

"It shouldn't be understood this way... the scope of what we can cover in different eras is also very different... we... should actually think of progress, rather than... alas..."

"Yeah, you're right, really..."

"What's the use now..."

…

The void became quiet—this time, the quietness was beyond normal. It is different from the regional silence of the past, the fluctuation of order outside the borders, and the endless battles of all sizes. This time, when the giant hand in the void shattered a large area of ​​the empire and completely annihilated it, the linear correlation between the end of the world and the void was all ignited, and the world structure itself became a huge branch that looked like it could blast through the void... The void Everything in it seemed to have really disappeared. The invisible gap between long and short, huge and nothingness... was broken again.

Even if there are echoes outside the clearly detectable range of the illusory Empire, they can all be classified as the aftermath of the apocalypse - during this time, the Empire has recorded far more apocalypses than those in Homeworld. The total number of stars, countless waves of extremely large-scale data streams flow through repeatedly, and are continuously translated and recorded by countless nodes in these processes...so much so that now, identification has even become unnecessary.

For an orderly environment that is still changing, time may be the most terrifying existence. It can create any peak, and it can also file any peak directly into a deep valley.

The territory of the empire once again suffered heavy losses. Under the huge numerical gap, the empire's environment was no less than another destruction. However, this time, the seeds were still there, and in a short period of time... in the void I'm afraid there won't be anything that can affect the expansion of the empire anymore.

When the environment becomes peaceful...existences that can still grow will begin to develop, and in this process, time will become more valuable and meaningful - the faster the development, the more the final line will become under the stack of time. Steep.

The empire's basic industrial modules began to expand exponentially. During the almost annual patrols of the general flagship, these seeds hidden within the remaining intact worlds of the empire began to break out of the ground, and began to surge on some unimaginable basis——

In some civilizations that have used decimal deduction mathematics in their memory, the simplest description of the exponential increase in basic properties can be said to be surprisingly consistent - no matter how thin a piece of paper is, fold it more than a hundred times, it is enough to pierce The entire universe. Although exponential growth is rapid, it is only used more at the visible level. There are many more things in mathematics that are growing even more rapidly—just describing how they are growing would require exhausting all the information in the universe.

And this is still subject to the outline system of real information.

Once... there seemed to be many suggestions, even some unwritten iron laws, that expansion must be limited by the basic carrying capacity of the entire empire's network——

This rule may not have been written in the basic principles and legal regulations of the subsequent empires, but in Vidoville's view, it has always existed, and... has a profound impact - if in those million years, the empire can proceed The index skyrocketed...maybe...

Forget it, there's no chance - there are still such fluctuations of thoughts on the Internet occasionally, and they can be easily distinguished no matter how subtle they are... and they are becoming less and less.

... Countless similar rules that have existed throughout the past are placed in front of him. They appeared not because the empire really needed them, nor because they really had any indelible important functions or attributes. In the first tens of thousands of years, Or for hundreds of thousands of years, they may have indeed helped the empire through the adaptation and transformation period, but then...

The empire is afraid of them, and the people of the empire are afraid of them. Even though they have long climbed out of the universe and are already in the endless deep and vast endless void, many individuals in the empire, as well as some of the ideological trends set off by individuals, still cautiously follow them to some extent. With that little bit of imagination in that limited space in the universe - they dare not face infinity, they dare not face the endless darkness. Looking back at the light behind them, it is very bright and brilliant...

Nonsense.

Theory and reality can no longer be separated, they are reality now! You can deny their meaning, attack their existence, ignore them - it doesn't matter, they can naturally never be faced, and everyone can live forever in the shadow of what they want to believe.

But who can guarantee that this shadow will never light up? Who can guarantee that they will never have to develop, who can guarantee that their world will always be enough, and that they can stand in their own world forever?

Standing on the smooth black armor belt of the Arcane Throne, Vidoville's gaze slowly swept across the "light spots" in the void that were particularly bright in comparison - their interiors were being filled by continuous expansion. All light points are being replaced. Basic industrial modules with ultra-high-speed growth capabilities are constantly iteratively aggregating, and are constantly being integrated and transformed into various types of information shaping mother machines with higher levels and stronger functions. They will be launched and dispatched to other locations after their structures mature. world, and in the process of expansion, a large number of various types of equipment are manufactured, and "feeding" the field life that follows the team forward.

The information integration between basic equipment and advanced equipment does not present a smooth and relaxed relationship. There are also toughness and violence in it.

Countless parts may be required to convert.

"...I hope this time, even if we die, it will be like we died in battle... After all, we..."

Vidoville shook his head slightly, then recorded everything he had just thought about, and carefully placed them in a safe place in his memory.

It will always be interesting to compare these - I have imagined, predicted and even prophesied some contents countless times. They will always be regarded as a guideline by me for a period of time, and I will also think about their connection with the empire from time to time. , and on this basis, let the empire get closer to some of its own prediction ideas...

Many ideas are actually very interesting - funny in the sense of laughing at fifty steps and laughing at a hundred steps.

It can be said that he has the broadest vision in the entire empire, the most powerful and unimaginably rich resources, and he can even integrate the metaphysical and the physical with one soul... But he is not much better than others.

My knowledge base is limited, and it can even be said that my courage is also limited.

Otherwise, I probably wouldn't have let the empire be trapped in just one bubble...

"Another self-talk and condemnation afterwards..."

I don’t know how I will view this period of my thoughts in the future, hundreds of thousands, millions of years, or even longer periods of time... my surrounding subordinates, compatriots... friends, they What will happen to my thoughts...?

Time is born with the flow and development of information, and the passage of time will correspond to the continuous changes in the information structure and the countless orderly world.

Everything can be changed, everything can be remembered, and everything can also be forgotten and completely dissipated...

With a slight movement of thought, the giant information assignment computer array, which is an accessory structure of life, matched the coordinates scheduled for the next time. After a brief flash of the world gate, everything here returned to its original state, as if nothing had ever existed here.

In fact, nothing exists here, and nothing has ever existed.

…

It’s hard to imagine what would happen if infinity could be truly utilized.

The basis of virtual point jumping has never changed, but compared to the jumping mode that was almost based on instinct... Now, a coherence judgment in the light circle order is enough to fly out of the hundreds of millions of ancient empires connected together in one go. The span of void order that can be built.

Soul locks and ability suppression may indeed exist, and you are so smart that you cannot identify where it is even though you know its existence. It is also possible that... thought and cognition are inherently restricted.

However, no matter which explanation or explanations are adopted, there are still too many problems...

...If, if we...can really have a glimpse into the extremely long future...then what will everything be like?

…

Cold and empty...good for thinking.

The concept of the Void Quadrant... its pre-existence concept has been maintained even longer than the empire itself. For a long time, countless theories and observations have been able to prove that the void quadrant does exist. It is not some metaphysical or psychogenic concept of void. It is indeed ubiquitous among countless worlds, and it connects the world in a certain way. "separate" at a conceptual level.

There is no doubt about this.

But... what are the criteria for delineating the "Void Quadrant" itself? There are huge differences in the logical structures between the quadrants. Can this prove that what divides the quadrants is the difference in worldviews and the differences in the laws of creation hidden in the background and darkness? How to understand and judge in more details?

…

Void engine.

The most basic void engine.

This is perhaps the best reference for division, and it is also the source of the most direct and accurate judgment and explanation of the concept of the Void Quadrant itself.

What can be confirmed so far is that there are twenty-six quadrants in the void.

How to determine how the quadrants actually differentiate and function between different worlds...?

Making a void engine... At present, it seems that the prerequisite for making it is to thoroughly understand all the information, all the rules and all the details within a world, and to be able to self-consistently and accurately control everything within the entire world where you are.

And this technological development route that currently seems to be the most likely...

Creating a void engine requires complete control and mastery of all information about the world in which you are located.

And this world... must be inside a certain quadrant, or at the boundary of a quadrant, and major weight differences still need to be considered, otherwise... the inherent rule differences between logics will tear them apart.

It is located inside a quadrant, under the guidance of a void creation law. This must mean that all the laws and logic of this world...must have some similarities with other worlds in this quadrant. In other words, perhaps outside the infinitely remote range, the commonalities between worlds are almost no longer visible, but as long as they are still in the same quadrant... the void engine can analyze and "turn on".

When that line is crossed and the void engine cannot ignite...the common ground will no longer exist, the law of creation has been completely transformed, and the quadrants have been divided.

"But this doesn't explain some basic issues..."

"Perhaps... we have never actually figured out what the void quadrants we once faced are. They are actually just some other regular areas within the same interval...?"

"They are so similar..."

"But maybe... this is not absolute, the quadrant we first delineated..."

"We once detected a logically fundamental difference, it's true, and... it's not lagging behind other events... Wait!"

"Have we...delimited the exact void quadrant before-?!"

"What was our previous understanding and definition of it...??"

"The database has been lost long ago... We have no chance to check it... We can't recall whether it was the differences within the quadrants or between the quadrants that affected us..."

"The diffuse crystal energy glow can completely replace all the intrinsic properties of the plasma flame, but...the difference between them is extremely huge."

"You can't tell the difference just by looking and thinking..."

…

In the void, a huge fleet began to spread.

Before they began to mobilize at their maximum mass, the virtual point jump ship had already left the empire's homeland tens of millions of years before them. They jumped all the way outward and left countless void beacons and spiritual targets in the void, and even the World Gate Matrix——

They were the initial pioneers who led the huge imperial fleet to carry out the first total diffusion of ultra-large-scale filamentary fiber structures in the void.

Countless gates, countless beacons flashing occasionally, one after another.

It is impossible for ordinary creatures to see them, but in the empire's huge free matrix of interpretation that spans countless worlds, these light spots are brighter and more brilliant than the stars.

"We have begun to compare the original core location of the probability lightning chain..."

"Arcane Throne Endless Leap Power Furnace Non-fixed Assignment Limit Information Release Attempt..."

"Avoidance, confirmation of danger, lack of rules..."

"...??"

"In the void...the scope of influence, scope and various differences between virtual information and real information are still huge and obvious..."

"There are many things that we imagined before the universe collapsed, but now... we have not achieved it."

“False information remains false.”

"Can our thoughts...our delusions...go that far?"

…

"The original core has been locked."

"The surrounding influence has been silenced."

"The void environment is stable and the probability lightning chain is pure."

"The chief flagship warns that this process is irreversible. The target has been locked and begins - bombardment!!"

In the void, a small shadow was swallowed up by purple light.

The unprecedented source of massive information, which was so chaotic that its directivity was almost zero, was restrained and guided by the almost non-existent assignment equation, and then... they were all transferred into the void.

They hit to the core.

A glorious bridge across the void is thus established.

The power of virtual information may be forcibly absorbed by some laws that cannot be quantified at all, and then further collapse and transform, becoming the source of fluctuations that drive reality.

Civilization has imagined too many things that cannot be done in the universe, or the meaning of which is better than nothing. It has also created too many concepts that are simply impossible to form, and can only use a series of symbolic miscellaneous items to glimpse a corner of its ontology.

But now...those once unimaginable phantoms of grandeur...

They will finally come into reality! !

As the inheritor and converter of virtual information, there are endless materials in the void probability fluctuation range - not only from the void itself, not only from the giant probability lightning chain of the dragon in the void...

Countless doomsdays have happened here, and countless worlds are like the sea of ​​stars melting into the zero-point energy tide of vacuum, being evaporated by artillery fire and thoughts.

Countless materials, their ultimate source... they come from everything that has ever happened here. The past, memories, struggles and wreckage here...

They can still use residual heat.

…

"..."

"What's this?"

"We still underestimate the possibilities that we have not imagined..."

"The border can no longer be found... We are afraid that we will waste a lot of resources... Even with the void radar matrix laid out by the Xudian ships, we are currently far from extending the possible control range to this point."

"Diffusive Uniform Information Correlation Pulse Observed!!"

In the void, a pair of huge wings spread out, erupting in the most violent and rapid manner.
