Star Empire

“Yes, United.

"All the lives and civilizations here and "under you" have truly and completely given up on the separation of the past, and completely united in this current situation, or a rare "opportunity", and concentrated all life forms and technologies. and ideas to solve all the problems we currently need to face.”

"This is indeed ideal, but it is surprisingly consistent with our current destiny prediction results, and also consistent with all our model deduction results." After a short calculation, the "man" with a body made of steel waved his hand. Dismissing the surrounding abnormal phenomena caused by his own overload, "I agree with this idea."

"Actually, we now...are suitable for internal union, and only for internal union." In a relatively remote "corner" where no expression of will had been heard before, another person could feel his age just by hearing it. The "voice" of feelings echoed in the conference room and the hearts of the participants, "In the beginning of the dark age, we tried a lot of possessive behaviors, but they were actually not very successful..."

"After the changes brought about by time gradually became a reality, we adopted a series of compatibility, recognition and joint measures. The possibility of large-scale disasters within our fleet was reduced, and the communication network we provided also allowed the lives within the fleet to Have basic communication..."

"But I must remind everyone that within my civilization, there are already many destiny mentors who are constantly uploading information——"

"Even concepts and laws, those fully effective laws that can span the universe and take effect between countless worlds will be deceived - in other words, we..."

"This topic is not suitable to be discussed here, Mr. Ramos." All the eyes around the circular conference table pointed at this corner that may appear "remote" due to weight issues.

"Everyone, times have changed, and there will be many explanations for any of our actions - we can explain it ourselves, and all the lives that look at us can also explain it. Each explanation may have a different starting point and angle. , the final results are also different from each other.”

"Within our power, of course we can control some things, some actions, but what about beyond that?"

"..."

"but……"

"There are many ways to respect civilization. Even a decent act of destruction is respect. If we are going to make a major resolution, then we must ensure that we have enough execution power-"

"Military force agency..."

"In addition, in addition to the indiscriminate treatment he mentioned, we believe that a new and adapted set of rules may be needed, including actions, planning guidelines, and even some longer-term, future issues..."

"At the very least, we need to be able to protect ourselves..."

"This may be a repeat of the past, in every sense of the word."

"When the world comes to an end, according to our observations, they will form rings."

"...What are we talking about?"

"At least, this may really be a new beginning, starting from the trial."

…

There is much work to be done. Every moment, every minute, every second... In the habits of every race, and in the scale rules delineated by the long fleet clock unified system, every place needs to be arranged and guided.

The trend of "fusion" has existed since the moments when various lives in the fleet tried to give up their differences, prejudices and superiority, and actual fusion events have indeed appeared for the first time, such as the fusion and engulfment of civilizations, several life forms They try to fuse each other's information structures in order to obtain a more superior life foundation and life traits... They not only exist, but they exist in many, many numbers——

This fleet has continuously absorbed other exiles over the span of tens of billions of years, constantly replenishing itself through losses and recoveries, and the sources that constitute its initial core...are all quite large in scale.

Even if it is weakened to this day, even if it is in a corner, this fleet can still rely on its actual size to "light up" a large area of ​​space.

Under long-term high pressure, most of the basic nodes that have been preserved have almost no barriers to each other. In order to survive, they must be efficient, and in order to be efficient, many sacrifices must be made, otherwise, survival will be impossible. rise.

Now, after the pressure from the void, from nothingness, and from oneself temporarily weakens, many problems that are "suppressed" by the environment and pressure will be exposed. The majority of grassroots nodes may appear weak, but this does not mean that they will No problem will show up.

Due to various reasons, the control layer of intelligent civilization that needs to partially preserve its soul, or is connected to the matrix and equipment group, or is more distorted and completely transformed than other existences, has deeply felt the various problems encountered in the process of "resurrection". :

In order to be efficient, all communication channels between civilizations have been opened up. In order to ensure that any area and any form of existence in the entire fleet can transmit information from any corner as efficiently and accurately as possible, civilizations have completely modified each other and Constrained observable intervals, observation corresponding constants and "ideographic models"...

During the emergency period, these measures ensured the efficiency and stability of the entire mixed civilization combination, but after returning to such a relatively stable period, these straightforward expressions and perceptions turned into dangerous fuses.

There are actually quite a few civilizations and races in the mix, and even now, many civilizations still maintain a certain degree of independence from each other - which has led to now, when it comes to negotiations, all the ideas between each race , all plans and all plans will be unconditionally known to each other by other parties.

If a civilization wants to survive stably, if it wants to keep the part of its name and glory that belongs to "itself", then self-interest needs will inevitably exist - not for oneself or the short-lived and low-meaning self-interest of a few individuals, but for civilization. Rights and interests, fighting for space, strong self-interest needs that can be exchanged or even fought for at the cost of life.

When each other's plans are known to each other, the possibility of collisions and frictions will greatly increase - the total amount of information that can be distributed at this stage is limited, and it is impossible to determine whether the concealment equipment can continue to be mass-produced. It will be a long period of time in the future. In time, everything will still be locked in this cosmic space for a long time. The information furnace can still be activated, but this world... may only be so big.

At that point, it can be confirmed that no one’s plan will satisfy everyone.

The solutions to these problems... are actually the same: either turn everyone into one's own, or erase all existences that are not one's own.

These options are considered feasible.

In addition, there are too many problems. Many problems may be solved, but some problems are difficult or even impossible to handle——

A life often requires many systems and many details to cooperate with each other to run better. At normal times, life only requires a very small amount of energy to stabilize the movement and stability of the internal details of the entire body. What they need is not to pay attention to every detail in the body all the time. What they need to do is to decide their general direction. They need to understand what general direction they want to decide, what exactly they need to do in the future, and where to go...

At normal times, this may not be a problem. The details are handled by countless people and basic institutions within the civilization. All detailed issues and all basic feedback are uploaded and recycled, and become the basis for decision-making agencies to judge the future direction of civilization. refer to……

"But now, our civilization, everything around it... is sick. No matter what, we must pay attention to all the details. Those details are no longer enough to be accumulated in the infrastructure to maintain the self-consistent operation of the entire system."

"The second meeting will come soon." Eyes flashing with purple light swept across the venue, "There won't be too many sacrifices, right?"

"No, we just used more realistic threats when we implemented it. But we have to say... up to now, the implementation efficiency of some measures using force and forcible means is actually very high. I really don't know why, but it will be worse during the fleet period. fail……"

This simple question triggered a brief silence.

"...We must also consider manufacturing new space control equipment. Otherwise, with the current us, we will not be able to maintain stability in the conceptual model of the world barrier scale and definitely control Kyoto, but now..."

"Each type of universe control equipment comes from different technical systems, different original ideas, and different operating modes. Most of the modes require capturing the heart of the world, but the method of utilization includes the use of giant mathematical rate equipment. Cover and control it until the heart of the world is completely bound to a special controlled and adjustable life... The various structures are too different, and the final functions are also different..."

"The source rules and all basic parameters must be fully disclosed, and everyone can make choices together..."

"Let's decide, we don't have much time..."

The light screen is rising and extinguishing, matrices, curves, clusters and groups are rising and falling. In the silent and invisible information network, the collision between countless light points is like the microscopic world being projected into the macroscopic regular area.

The mirror image of the world is finally captured, processed, and integrated into life. Life is imprisoned by the device, and the device's broadcast system throws all the mapping details into the distant deep space.

The twinkling stars were brought under the control of the mixture of civilizations.

A planet, a star-planetary system, or even a galaxy is just a drop in the ocean of the material world to the entire universe.

It is said that a relatively fully developed world has at least four layers of information structure. Each layer of the structure is more basic, fixed and thin compared to its "upper layer". They form two completely different huge pyramids, the front and the inverted. , and many current operations are touching the stable foundation of this pyramid.

The worldview is no longer consistent. The world here is completely different from all memories.

Past memories, past models and experiences may still have value - but apart from the reference value of ideas, heights and possibilities, it may be difficult for them to be put into practical use.

It takes learning, it takes... time, it also takes opportunity and destiny.

The insect swarms began to expand again, but their individual abilities, individual strength, and group strength had greatly declined. They began to explore the universe, exploring the available materials among the stars that had been modulated to become more clear and visible, and transferring their The relevant properties are sent back to the information relay station inside the universe.

They can be said to be very important to many basic civilizations - many civilizations were kicked out of their homes of order by disasters of one kind or another before they had time to develop mature void navigation technology. In the vast and endless dark ocean, they could only They worked hard to repair their increasingly dilapidated canoes. Over a long period of time, some of them were captured and swallowed by the exile fleets of other civilizations. Some of them disappeared in the void. Some of them may have been lucky enough to survive. Now……

They can even only use original materials that are only recognized in the universe. Once they are separated from the field that supports the existence of those materials and the establishment of rules, they will not even have an "evaporation" process in the void - they will collapse directly. Disintegration is shorter than the smallest definable unit of information change.

The world has become different.

Many rules need to be re-explored, adjusted, or even rewritten.

"This will not be something that can be determined in a short period of time - in fact, the series of content we have passed down now are more of "talks of experience" in a broad sense. Through hard work, we have given them There is room for wider general use, but they have scope of application after all..."

"What we have now, perhaps it can be said, is only our memory, thoughts, and these foundations..."

"...I hope these "old guys" can persist until new existences take over from them..."

Each figure, either virtual or real, slowly moves its gaze towards the ground.

The armor plate itself, which still looks solid and has no change in luster, may have lost more than half of its existence attributes - this part is completely below the level of standard reality intensity, which means that this part of the low reality area has It is possible to be completely distorted inadvertently by some beings who are good at consciousness and soul power.

"Why did we use this as a conference room in the first place...?"

"I don't know, but I can be sure that the decisions made in these meetings are enough. After taking off the dome, this place will be completely useless in the future." The tall figure vigorously patted the huge "spider" beside him - "Change In other words, old bug, you don’t have to worry about your leg getting stuck again!”

"...Shut up, Raya, I think it might collapse by me first..."

…

"No matter what, this can be considered a new beginning..."

When the device is connected to the soul, "human" eyes can also scan the entire universe.

Among them, there are trillions of galaxies containing billions of stars.

And more toiling figures traveling among the stars.
