Star Empire

"The knowledge system is too fragmented, the content of chaos is unprecedentedly expanded, there is a lack of rationality, a lack of fully understandable and repeatable parts, a lack of theoretical foundation and environmental verification. The knowledge tree cannot be completely established and must be adapted to changes."

"Wait for me, hold on a little longer——"

Although she had just woken up, and her actual "sane lifespan" was not too long and was far from comparable to the level of the entire "Empire", facing the current situation, she quickly struggled from panic and confusion. Come out - that doesn't make sense. Considering that thinking also has profound power, if you fall into confusion and madness, your thoughts will most likely spread uncontrollably along the stellar wind field, dragging everything into this world of negative emotions. among.

In the void, a series of points are marked, and they are given a weak connection with each other, forming the simplest broken line leading to the goal.

Of course, one can see part of the future with one's own eyes - part of it is deduced, and part of it responds to one's will and passes before the eyes like a printed scroll. If possible, the future can really be changed at will in the present. Many uncertainties and possibilities can be affected or even obliterated by current factors. It is not impossible to constantly adjust the influence between countless worlds and fully affect destiny. But the details of the future itself are too fragile...

"...There must be a future before anyone can listen to these words."

"Now, there is a rough core left there. I hope that core is enough to carry the information that is constantly flowing in. If such a huge consciousness is out of control, I am afraid that those chaotic garbage information will gather together, and what will be born will be very troublesome. .”

The outer layer of the order field is constantly being reorganized, and these ever-changing combinations of representations will form a set of ever-changing void coordinates. The constant flickering and changes of these coordinates can "move" the blazing sun to a considerable deviation each time. Shift difference.

Along the way, many scattered pieces of information fell into the order field of Lieyang - they were of various types, and the total degree and concentration of information were completely different. Among them, there are ships that fell into the void because the void engine malfunctioned or the world they were in became fragmented, and were forcibly "sucked" in by this solid order field. There were also some ships that were in a trance, as if they were some There are life-like structures of light and shadow, as well as many mist and debris of unknown nature.

They were locked and disintegrated by the sun, by the will of Vesrivan. Their current shapes and entities completely dissipated, and were replaced by immortality inscribed within the stellar wind field.

"These creations... I know some of them, and I have seen them, the Void Forge, the World Line Storage Repository, the main industrial mother machine, the initial self-replicating iterative industrial element... and these..."

"well……"

Although her past self did not understand everything she experienced, the self at that time, or she still used her own strength and senses to record everything at that time, and those memories are becoming clear as she processes them. , the meaning became more clear, and also made me understand what happened in these many years.

Many fragments are actually solidified memories - they do not belong to the empire, but to certain civilizations and certain intelligent creatures. In the most desperate moments of crisis, they may undergo some changes that even they have never thought of, and erupt with some power that they have never imagined. These powers may not be enough to maintain their lives, but in the current void, the metaphysical information that is brilliant enough and available everywhere is enough to force these fragments with special will to "hang" and maintain their "own time" for a long time. .

"Once upon a time, their goal was to gain a living space for themselves and possible intelligent creatures around them..."

This jump is coming to an end, and Vesrifan's heart is full of mixed emotions at this moment - those lives were destroyed under the influence of "them" who violated the purpose, and may even violate the oath.

This is certainly an irreparable lack and regret, and it must be a mistake that violates the will and laws of the empire - many of those civilizations may be stronger than the star civilizations of the Federation period, and even stronger than the empire of the Leap Chronicles. Too much too much.

However, the empire's fleet killed them - not only did this violate the original intention and its own rules, but for the empire itself, the more important and fatal part was that... its bottom line was broken, whether intentional or not, the bottom line was indeed Was completely broken.

If the bottom line is breached for the first time, then there will not be the last time - I am afraid that before the end of the world, the bottom line will continue to be breached until all possible lower limits have been completely broken through and completely abandoned...

Maybe... like now.

Combine knowledge, think about yourself, think about the empire and all possibilities of saving it, and the future.

Deep in the mind of Weisrifan, or in other words, deep in the calculation core of the giant self-life and consciousness expansion computer composed of countless logical elements in the Void Blazing Sun, the light circle required for the second void jump is Coherently in order, the deduction begins.

"The boundary representation of the order field has become blurry again. As perhaps the most complete continuous void jump method currently available in the empire, the coherence of the light circle order uses the idealized state to completely deflect certain conventional algorithms that must be considered. Details - If the conventional void navigation algorithm is a representation of the constantly changing order field, then the order field must be constantly switched.

After each jump, the order field will not be completely covariant with the previous environment. If it is not corrected and repaired, the incovariant content between the order fields will continue to expand until it becomes completely paradoxical and leads to collapse. Most of the time, this is the reason why void sailing ships are restrained - a sufficiently strong hull may be able to resist the superimposed legal distortions in the order field, but if you want to directly rely on the hull to resist void erosion..."

"Mathematically perfect material, equivalent to the self-consistent level of the world barrier and all erodible points and loopholes have been artificially repaired..."

"The function of cohomology of the light circle order is to use the preconditions that this algorithm can calculate to materialize and pave it inside the order field, thereby erasing some unnecessary gaps and imperfect environments, which makes the originally imperfect environment The covariant order field can realize continuous jumps by increasing or decreasing the representation parameters and details in it, which is..."

Weisrifan seemed to understand part of the reason why the Empire has become so powerful and terrifying now - in just tens of billions of years, they have actually been using these technologies to deceive the void, and the deception spread to everyone who can. The corners to be observed and identified—the so-called principles that create the huge continuous compressive world structure called the branches of the world, the conditions for the execution of the cohomology of the light circle order and the virtual point jumping algorithm—each of them is Some of them are deceiving the void.

Now that we are here, how can we not go crazy?

But if he wasn’t crazy, how could he possibly still have a way to survive? Those disasters hit from the void. Even if the bottom line and all expectations have been relaxed, they are still unable to resist. If you don't go crazy, so crazy that you don't even care about yourself, how can you rely on two fragments containing the hard work of the old overlord to survive in the only Facing a span of less than one percent of history and a fundamental gap of one trillionth or even more exaggerated, defeat an enemy whose behavior in the void is completely unpredictable from the past?

It would be easy to give up the struggle and just think about the action itself. But if we don’t express it explosively on the surface, can we explain those who died when a meaningless disaster came that they were powerless to prevent? , have countless compatriots been forgotten? Can those remaining obsessions themselves be easily given up?

In the final analysis, the first priority of civilization's own actions is to maintain the interests of civilization, and the interests of civilization itself accept recognition and can be considered as interests.

They do it all, from infrastructure to superstructure, from guiding philosophy to practical action.

"...I can't change the entire past, and I don't have to do so. The past must be remembered and move toward a possible future. I must also have my own will and a tough enough heart. At least after this, the environment should be enough for us to make up for the possibility. All the mistakes..."

There was a lot of self in the past, and there were parts that they didn't see and were incapable of seeing. And here, the fragments and afterimages scattered across the void are not limited to any one side.

That time of real death, that time when the blood from the apex of his heart was burned in front of him, the speechless pain of being unable to do anything was branded in Wei Ruifan's heart.

Jump again and again, catch countless fragments from the void again and again, reorganize knowledge and memory again and again, become familiar with your body again and again...

She raised her eyes and looked into the depths of the void.

In the darkness, there are nine levels of sky, a sky hanging upside down like a sea of ​​blood. They reach down to the basic element of existence, which is lower and sinker than the earth; they reach up to the edge of order and void, where transcendence may not make sense, and the truth of order may no longer be absolute and unique.

The bells sounded from the center of the sky, where there was a huge tower, a huge tower with attributes of existence.

She noticed the fluctuations slowly sweeping through the void. It was some kind of connection, it was some kind of enrichment, it was some kind of memory - maybe it was like the connection between the stars remembering the master who once controlled them. The "materialization" of such memory.

Now, it may be that all the worlds and orders that once existed in the void have replaced the stars. Their masters remember them, and they remember their masters.

The void information may even be just communication. What the continent is doing now may just be communicating with the territory under the rule of the void according to certain rules. But just by doing this, the huge impact of its symbolic meaning is already infinitely terrifying.

Every time the ringing bell trembles, all the recorded information will be dismantled and disappear from their most essential foundation, from the moment of birth, all the existence and evolution of everything exposed.

It's like if you can really use the means in the world to break the self-protection mechanism of the world itself, you can surpass the maximum speed in the conventional world.

Then when the body breaks away from the constraints and moves into the distance, the body will continue to catch up with the light it once emitted, and the more it advances, the more it can catch up with the light it released earlier, until it was born. The light is also superimposed and broken through.

At that moment, this individual will be denied by the world from all stories and reality, and will be ejected from the limit of rules.

The order in the void also has such a plane, which connects countless worlds and accommodates countless stories - they are pan-macro narrative structures.

Looking at it according to my own data, inside this pan-macro narrative, history is just like that, layered by all memories and influences and eventually iterated and settled in the depths. They have disappeared, they are located in the past, they are located on the side of reality. But at the same time, they are also reality itself - every past, every historical iteration is the cornerstone of the order and rules of reality, and they form the basis of the current reality.

They can be killed, starting with the oldest memories and all the effects they could have had, starting with themselves and everything they remember around them.

"If this was a weapon, what would it have been used against? The first direct attack was about to collide with the Order Field."

The star corona like a tail was gathered together, and countless flares appeared on the surface of the blazing sun. They slowly "rotated" and adjusted the direction in which the jets they were responsible for would shoot, just like Countless eyes are embedded on the surface of the sun, looking at possible crises in the depths of the endless void ocean.

Black-red light pillars tore through the boundaries of the order field, and they appeared together with the dark erosion caused by the influx of void. They are like heavy rain and thunder and lightning from outside the sky, but this time, the earth, or the sun, caught those violent lightnings and annihilated them into the focus of the eyes, the depths of the vast ocean of information.

"That continent must have the ability to deduce imaginary numbers and push forward reality. It can predict part of the future..."

Until now, Weisrifan still hasn't quite figured out why he can deal with these seemingly obvious problems as an intelligent personality whose knowledge was limited to hundreds or thousands of universes that may be very similar. Not only did he not go crazy with the knowledge and status quo that had crushed all his old worldviews during the long period of civilization's history... He even faced all of this that might have driven him crazy billions of times, but he was actually quite stable and calm?

"Weight..."

His own weight attribute, as well as the existence attribute splashed out by Σ that has become thin in the void, are still affecting himself and everything around him, and he is also affected to a considerable extent. From being panicked and helpless, to now starting to think about these macro-level things at a level that I don't think I can reach now, to giving my own ideas and making decisions, I am very rational.

I just don’t know that I am now...

Is it calmness or indifference.

On the vast white ocean surface of the blazing sun, prominences and star corona began to boil. Countless lights and shadows appeared and then disappeared - among them were various missiles, models that had been used for a long time and more models that had never been seen before; ribbons as long as silk, various Rings and oppositions; various magnificent or eerie landscapes and natural phenomena as well as light and mist - around them, the star corona and solar prominences completely calmed down, and the ocean surface remained calm.

They are the products of transformations of entities that I have seen before. They are powerful anti-super metaphysical entities. They can also exist as field structures. They are my own hopes and part of my own power - I cannot shake the truth of the void. , I can't tear everything apart with just one thought, and let reality spread out on the paper like countless dots for me to choose at will.

"Just hope this ends soon."

The nine-layered sky is not some imaginary, empty structure without any meaning or evidence of existence. They can be considered as nine existential orders and existential potentials classified from the void using technology without affecting the abstract classification understanding and overall continuity - starting from the irregular void information primitives, to The basic elements that make up the world, all the complex structures within the world, and the various existences and influences between and on the world.

Ultimately, it transcends entities emerging from the void, and transcends fragmented or redundant metaphysical influences. Finally, they become nothingness, which is the edge of paradox, nothingness, truth and transcendent barriers, the part that has no meaning or value. Or rather an edge.

According to the existing rules, they can be divided into nine levels - the same as the largest number in the decimal system.

As her eyes swept across the nine heavens, Weisrifan did not forget the Void Matrix that she had been tightly "holding in her arms", nor did she forget why she had to come here - if possible, to save the remaining souls of the empire. Although they have been swallowed by the whirlpool for a long time, they now begin to believe that reality will not embarrass everyone here.

When I came here, I just pushed some stagnant parts of reality in accordance with the predetermined plans and rules at the right moment when necessary.

More apocalypse-creation was calmed down, and the new white ocean caught the arrows of lightning released after the collapse of the past will, and annihilated them in the depths of the sea.

Even so, they are equally dangerous and powerful. Frightened, exhausted, with blood and tears.

We are approaching the source of all stress, approaching the "death knell".

Intangible ideas and the depths of history, the memories and influences extended by entities have shaped the void elements and molded them into a vast battlefield with entities - death is accompanied by the overlap of life and death, before them and after them , what greets them will only be void and endless. The macro timeline that may have existed is bent, and the development loop of countless worlds that may have existed trembles between opening and closing.

The memories of the past, past successes and failures, ascension and death again and again, the addition of more wisdom and civilization, and the same countless civilizations that eventually faded away due to some reasons in the past. They may be forgotten, or they may be preserved. They are just memories behind reality, and reality is their aftermath. The past and history of the former hegemon was brought to an abrupt end by the final decision. They fell on their most glorious node and on the path they had decided to go on. The huge changes from reality strangled everything that was once brilliant but crazy, and dragged all entities and cognitions into destruction and nothingness.

However, the obsession that has lasted for hundreds of billions of years may even have been deeply ingrained into the void. The collapsed bridge piers are the actual manifestation of civilization using the power of order to find possible negative ones and shake the void. Such a giant wheel is suddenly stuck and stops spinning. How will their inertia and obsession be scattered, and where will it be scattered?

The shortcomings caused by the unfinished business of civilization, the shattered but not dissipated obsessions spurt out in the empty senses. They contain profound history and countless possibilities, but they represent nothing, they only represent themselves.

Indescribable pressure poured down from the nine layers of the sky, seeping out from all dimensions whether expanded or not, and spreading from the broad field of vision that could flatly analyze the existence attributes of the information body.

What greets them are the memories of the past, the last whispers, the commands of civilization, and the hot and bright sunlight.

The order issued by the self-destruction of the huge Void Great Wall, which was made up of countless mother universes and countless people who had been burdened with too many things from the past and were tired of thinking and remembering, were willing to sacrifice themselves, contained one word:

Smelting.

Those strange scenes that were suppressed by the invisible were frozen for a moment, and then they shattered in response.

The interior of the order field has returned to tenacity, tranquility and silence, but a faint red light has begun to appear at the boundary of the order field. Those little lights like fireflies outside the gauze quickly expanded, forming groups of disgusting entities, surrounded by The environment also turned dark.

In the sky above the sun, countless entities began to gather - fleets, missiles, heavy artillery of various shapes, light or heavy broadcasting facilities, ferocious phenomena and entities began to emerge layer by layer from the surface of the ocean.

They may not possess physical weapons and armor, but their own existence is enough to maintain their stability and existence.

The sunlight begins to activate, and they overlap each other in the sky, forming layers of protective barriers and fields.

"Xingming civilization is a civilization, and Σ is also a civilization. They were different in the past and will be different in the future, but now, they may be the same."

"This is a war between beings of the same origin. Perhaps it represents the resistance and independence of the new era from the old era."

"To kill yourself, to gain stability and new life by completely cutting off all ties and denying the past?"

It can be seen that this is a grand plan, and it is certainly great enough for Σ, the overlord who has passed away.

However, this cannot reverse the result of the overall continuous decline. From the moment the catastrophe breaks out, it is impossible for everything to be the same as before. It will only continue to weaken until it completely disappears.

All we can do is try our best to keep him.

"Everything you lose may not necessarily be a gain, but every gain must be a loss..."

Staring at the broken boundary of the order field and the bloody sky that has enveloped him, there is fear deep in his soul, but this fear is temporarily blocked by reason and will.

Countless shadows from under the sea of ​​blood broke through the boundary.

They're incredibly fast, they're disorganized, they're all-pervasive. In every gap that can be found, these dark figures flashing with decaying light patterns use a variety of completely different sharp teeth to bite and tear everything in front of them.

The forces of the two parties collided quickly and violently.
