Star Empire

Every civilization is a protagonist - within the scope of their cognition, they will always consider everything about themselves to weave their own "core theory", and this has never changed.

And if a civilization has the opportunity to understand the void and travel to other infinitely distant worlds, then...their home world will inevitably become their core - on an infinite plane, any point can be the midpoint, and any point can be the midpoint. core.

Every civilization is not the protagonist - the void is too big, the void is too vast. The void is at the top of the sky, encompassing all worlds and all possibilities.

Even the gods and the will of the void dare not absolutely claim to be the center of order in the absolute sense of the void.

There are many possibilities, and there are many guesses that lead to results that are too far away, so far away that even the power of God cannot detect any impact that may have on oneself, nor can it detect the effects in the void. Relevant, possible clues - so far away that they are unlikely to have the slightest impact on reality, far enough away to be completely eliminated by all detail screening models.

This is true of infinity, even after it undergoes violent embodiment and decay, and finally decays and aggregates into a certain type of finiteness... all of this is also true, whether using simple understanding or using all available logical and information tools.

After the destruction of Σ... the vortex of destruction formed by the huge territory pulled countless existences of order into destruction and demise. Even if they were not pulled in immediately... resist those who can make the world as silent as a bubble The shattering disaster also caused too many existences that were able to survive the first radical change to struggle on the edge of destruction.

…

A large fleet marched silently in the void.

The composition of these fleets is no longer a mishmash - they should be called a chaotic dump of rags.

This is not accurate, it seems a bit too absolute - inside the chaotic order field, some ships are still in good condition, even if they are close to tens of billions of pulses, or even more years have passed, they have not changed. There are traces of time left on the body and inside. Their armor is still strong, the array of logical words and runes carved on their insides and outsides a long time ago are still shining, their power furnaces are still surging, and after boiling for tens of billions of years, the gurgling torrent of information sources is still It can be accurately used by the assignment system and control system attached to the output terminal.

In addition, in this huge "fleet", the fleet also has some existences that cannot be measured as "old and new" - those existences may be like a ribbon, they may be giant monsters with strange appearances, or even Among them, there are also existences that are basically like primitive stars or huge insect bodies in certain worlds, as well as some nihilistic existences that are not accessible at all and can only be determined by relying on information equipment.

These may be the few bright colors in this huge fleet.

Outside of them, there are too many ships and too many existences that have experienced various situations - perhaps because the void information deviation loopholes that have been accumulated for a long time have never been completely repaired, or maybe those existences Their information structure is not self-consistent enough to be immune to the time effects brought about by their own changes, or perhaps they simply do not have the ability to rely on their own attributes to properly resist the impact of other worldviews, so that they can only rely on protection. Shield, relying on connections from other beings to barely survive the rotation of the fleet clock...

This part of the spacecraft still carries living beings, and they still have life inside them.

And more ships...all the life reactions inside them have stopped, maybe recently, maybe tens of millions, hundreds of millions or even billions of years ago...

During their escape, they encountered too many things, and there were too many lives that struggled but were ultimately unable to resist the strange power that had been deeply penetrated into themselves a long time ago. There were also some lives whose civilizations had perished, and these last surviving embers were no longer able to resist. Inheriting civilization but unable to resist the reality of drastic changes and the suffering from their own hearts, they may finally choose to give up...

There are a large number of ghost ships of different shapes in the fleet. They may also rely on part of their master's obsession during his lifetime, guidance from other types of beings in the fleet, and their own navigation system to continue to follow the fleet. Perhaps, without the guidance of life and unable to strengthen themselves, they are not worthy of continued maintenance as precious resources. They are just "drifting" following the order field of the fleet, like dead leaves caught in the turbid waves. They may also contain parts that can be used, or they may have the potential to be "processed". Perhaps, creations from different technical systems may also contain other wealth. After several technical systems collide and interact with each other, they will produce The spark is enough to ignite a new way of life...

Many times, it's just self-comfort.

"Devouring" and "war" happen from time to time.

The only requirement is that there can be no incidents that would interfere with the order field, affect the concealment of the order field, and trigger the external representation of the fleet; no wreckage should be left on the waterway.

Any possible remnants are dangerous. They may become the source of disaster at any time and the possible fuse that detonates the entire order field——

Horrible nightmares are pulled up from the slightest and most fragile bottom of consciousness and the depths of dreams and projected into the entire order field. Reality is distorted, reset, and constantly switched like frames; time no longer seems to follow linearity. Development, they are twisted, closed, and cut apart. Everything outside seems to have already happened in the past, and even... the future has already happened - a future in which death occupies all possible weight...

Stars and gray tides made of unknown materials that shimmered with cold luster completely submerged one world after another, and even the space itself seemed to be alienated and fixed. The silver stars extend in the void, and their spreading speed may even be faster than the maximum void speed of the fleet where they are located. They can only shield their own voices, be cautious, and try their best not to leave a trace...

The beings responsible for calibrating all the basic constants of the fleet died in front of the monitoring array and calibration device. Their death was extremely miserable, as if they had undergone the cruelest sacrifice.

...It seems that at a certain point, or at certain moments, those stable basic constants themselves... seem to have become chaotic elements that disrupt the rules, and why the equipment itself and the structures outside the equipment can remain... that is an eternal mystery.

Everything about life and the equipment itself seemed to be cut apart, and many functions were severed and seemed to disappear into the void. Many wills can no longer respond. One life and one device seem to have three linear evolutionary trends at the same time, but... they are not covariant.

For billions of years, tens of billions of years, the size of these fleets wandering and escaping in the void has grown larger and larger like a snowball. There are countless strange things, and even races that may have never imagined the existence of each other have met and "gathered" together. together. And in the process of getting along smoothly or with difficulty, these stories from all sides are becoming more and more rich and bizarre like snowballs... Many of them seem to be attached to material things, while some are also attached to all kinds of nothingness. The concepts, laws and even the order and space itself.

However... what records them is a group of communication models built from pure information representation that can go straight to the source. All constants and contents in them have been reviewed multiple times until no more possible information can be found. Unstable covering and concealment…

Among them, perhaps none of the stories are fabrications or lies without real evidence...

Over billions of years, countless stories have gathered here, and each new story added will make the path forward and the path back become more confusing and dangerous. What makes it even more difficult for them to accept is that there is no way to assess whether the "rear area" is safe.

Some stories were born tens of billions of years ago, while many stories may have just happened hundreds of millions or tens of millions of years ago. The past nodes at which these stories took place are also difficult to determine - many fleets came here, according to those civilizations and those wisdoms...

I didn't come here via the void route at all. I was "thrown" here by some weird equipment in the void - just ordering the void engine to re-ignite, or allowing myself to resist the radical change in the worldview without continuing to lose money. Strength and flesh and blood, in order to allow one's perception and behavior to match the world environment again, the time it took... in terms of physical sense, it has exceeded a million years.

Ah, there are those devices, those shadows, those inexplicable information flows across the void, and that symbol looming in the shadows...

Obviously they should be noteworthy and worth thinking about, but whenever people who hold these views ask other people, the answers they get... seem to be only some exaggerated fragments and fragmented, weird descriptions that are not systematic at all.

It's like... it's been erased.

Should this deserve...attention?

…

Once upon a time, no matter how big your race was, no matter how skilled you were... there might have been more than one fleet heading into the void.

Among the current fleets, there are too few civilizations that can clearly confirm that their civilization's exiles rely on only one or a few fleets to merge with the collective... These civilizations are often just stuck between the outbreak of disaster and grasping information. At that common point in time of great unification - civilization had to withdraw from the world in a hurry before it had time to make adequate preparations.

Such a race...either went extinct due to its own shortcomings after being merged, or could only rely on the support of other races to survive...It seems that hundreds of millions, or billions of years ago, other races finally passed Among other fleets that can barely communicate with the advanced law-level hope transmission equipment, there seems to be such a race that has achieved a brief breakthrough. but……

The last inexplicable void transcendence jump should have occurred 557.73 million years ago. In order to enable the mathematical rate translation device of the void engine to smoothly read the information environment permeating the surrounding void and operate at full power smoothly, This "garbage dump" composed of giant ships and creatures has been resting for at least 900,000 years. After that fragile period of almost defenseless time, the void became completely unfamiliar and silent - at that time, everything in the past seemed to cease to exist in an instant, and occasionally flashed through, revealing something that made the souls in the fleet tremble. The world of inexplicable information waves has almost completely turned into miserable wreckage.

Five hundred million years later... this place has become even more empty.

The same is true for "enemy", "phenomenon", "background" and "friends". There are no other identifiable and obvious signals in the sight, and no other powerful and possibly hostile forces can be found in the void. Civilized or strange phenomena, "shady scenes" have never appeared in the order field...

Perhaps, this is the end of the voyage... This should be the end, and it is indeed the end.

It has been too long, and during this long time, the fleet and the life forms have endured a long and illusory persistence. The fleet has not had clear contact with any world of order for too long——

Now, all the negative factors and all the unknown possibilities are about to explode. It seems that they are about to explode and reach the critical point that will push the order to self-destruction...

Among these fleets, even those with the most advanced technology cannot guarantee that their bodies and fleets have not accumulated loopholes in these tens of billions of years, without losses of one kind or another, and without effects that continue to this day.

And there are too many individuals... They have to interrupt all possibilities of reproduction and reduce all information expenditures to maintain the basic stability of the void engine.

It is not strong enough and the "root" is not yet possible to remove.

"Maybe... we can stop here."

"We must stop here. If we sail for more than fifty years, we will lose more than half of our wisdom and life again..."

“–…=^^∈∧…”

Between the joint meetings, various whispers of life and wisdom are pointing to the same point——

If we continue to flee, the meaning is no longer clear, and it is no longer possible to find traces of facilities with the "Σ" rune around here.

In fact... without them, even if the fleet runs for ten billion more years... it will not be enough to make a fraction of the jump caused by those facilities.

Those terrifying giant wings with flashing black and red patterns just passed by, and everything that existed in his homeland, even the vast barrier of the strongest fortress world and the entire galaxy transformed into battleships, would instantly turn into nothing. Nothing, just a brief moment of weak interaction, the entire civilization will violently convulse...

It's too long, too long.

However, compared to geological chronology and stellar chronology, as well as the frequency chronology and reincarnation chronology that other races may use...such a somatosensory time span may not be anything...

But for life, this is already the current possible limit...

It can't be delayed any longer.

However, there will always be problems...

Why are the body sensations in the void so consistent...? ?

…

In the center of the entire order field, the most powerful races are trying to restore the ancient production lines inside their ships.

There is no world of order here, and even if there is, it should not be used, or even considered at all - in these tens of billions of years, almost all worlds of order on the path forward have only two visible ends: being destroyed, or being occupied. , other than that, there is absolutely no third possibility.

Relying on yourself is the only way to ensure safety - it used to be a way of thinking and consciousness, but now it seems that maybe this is indeed safer...

The Creation Shine was lit.

Within the order field, countless turbid information flows that had been forcibly suppressed for hundreds of millions of years were released - before this, too many calculation cores, master brains, hive intelligence and jumping thinking cores had been burned by them.

This is... the first time in this long time that I have dared to release my existence again.
