Star Empire

"I want everyone to think about it, and I want everyone to have an opinion. We need everyone's opinion now, and we need everyone's opinion in the future."

"Future research may no longer be stable. We need to not only try to understand the rules in the void, but we also need to consider how we should change ourselves - in the future, we may need to write new rules ourselves, and we need to let Our own influence appears in the void, or in other words, if we continue to develop, we will reach this point sooner or later."

"I feel an unprecedented sense of peace and tranquility. The whirlpool and screams in everyone's hearts have subsided."

"We will continue to observe further until we can "deduce" a whole line that can ensure that civilization develops to such a high level, but we need to pay attention - we do not need to completely find a development path that is completely consistent with our development path. , we just need to understand what stages we may go through, what situations we may encounter in each stage, what level we should reach, what we should do, what we should have seen, etc.”

"The unification of information is the basis for the operation of everything, but the unification of information itself also has countless development paths and possibilities. What we develop like this is just one of countless paths. Even according to your relationship with Vidoville, We already know a lot, but this alone cannot make use of them. We need to find a more comprehensive road, or road network."

"The future is promising, and the visible parts may have been doomed, but the invisible parts do not mean that they have completely disappeared. The meaning behind them may be like the void, dark and empty but pregnant with infinite possibilities."

"For a long time, we have passed through several iterations invisibly, but we were not able to establish the connection in time. Fortunately, we found it not too late."

Among the ruins that are being rebuilt, the awakened emperors and new lives are having a series of discussions about the current situation. The content involved in these discussions is not fixed, but there is no doubt that these discussions come from the hearts of different beings, not from a chaotic fusion monster.

Some universes that were pulled out of the story and restored were extinguished. What the observers saw was that in the thin space, some creatures from those universes stayed near the remaining black holes. They spent their last lives, and they served for All "life" in this universe has come to an end.

"In the stories recorded by the Void Sky Survey Radar, they have not once again faced drastic changes from outside the world view. Perhaps this is not a happy "happy ending", but for those worlds, the inside and outside of the world may be able to Considered a "natural death".

“Are there more interventions that need to be considered?”

"No need, at least not currently. Your Majesty Eisendel, you can see that we do not yet have a safe and systematic intervention method. If we intervene according to the current method and existing means, the probability points to two fixed possibilities - Create a completely weakened version of the incomplete empire, or lead to its demise. We need a more systematic approach or even say that this stage may not be suitable for us to do these things."

".All beginnings are hard."

"Redefine the guiding ideology and algorithms regarding technology paths and development stages?"

"Well, Vidoville, if you carefully count the many details over such a long time, you may be able to find that a lot of our so-called "knowledge" is filled with black boxes on the one hand, and on the other hand, they are Time cannot be said to operate according to exact rules. Rather than saying that they follow rules, it may be more appropriate to think that they only follow a general range of "cognition." There are mapping relationships between everything, but these mapping relationships are not always Precise and constant.”

"We have developed a new technological path based on arcana, but we have always believed that we have always viewed arcane technology and the development of arcane technology with our previous crystal energy technology and precise and controllable logical technology attitude. This is not No."

“But we may always ignore part of the content, that is, if the results each time are not stable enough for us to generalize and quantify them, we will use empirical formulas to make up for the uncertainties. How should this be? understand?"

Facing the two huge mountains that had begun to "light up" on the distant horizon, Vidoville fell into thinking.

"If we stubbornly believe that everything is accurately solvable and that everything can be summarized and sorted out through infinitely complex formulas and constants, then we do not rule out that when we do this, our overall actions and overall thoughts will crowd out the Relevant understandings of other aspects of the void may even one day crowd out all related applications of metaphysical and ritual technologies."

"Because, as a powerful body of information, we ourselves are likely to directly or indirectly affect the world around us and the operation of everything. However, as a life with a rational and stable mind that has survived to the present, we will instinctively think Information that we don’t understand, that is unclear, is unsafe, and even if we have general assumptions about it, perhaps we will always try to shelve them.”

"But incomparable precision represents countless complex detailed calculations, as well as infinite investigation and deliberation. And if we finalize all the details, then if a new incovariant detail appears in the void, maybe our The entire system will have to undergo a large number of complex transformations and calculations due to the emergence of new details, and we may even need to permanently abandon the old system and develop a new covariant system."

"However, this is to add this new grain of sand into the new huge framework - this is probably a metaphysical, or even super-metaphysical level of one-sided and fragmented understanding. We pursue details and foundations infinitely, but There is a possibility that we will find that all the details and foundations we pursue may not even be able to reconstruct the appearance we once knew."

"This is a complex issue, and it is also a matter of path and stance." Vidoville thought carefully and seriously, but the more he thought about it, the more difficult it seemed to be to clarify and understand the various problems involved:

“If we make a binary opposition between precision and vagueness, then we cannot distinguish the boundaries between them, and this is still cognitively possible. If we make a precise binary opposition, then we ourselves may also enter a state of opposition; If we start from the performance and foundation of the operation of extraordinary information, then if the new extraordinary information represents a more different and more peculiar primordial attribute of itself, then it is very likely that we will not be able to effectively carry all of it."

"There are still many subjective problems here, Vidoville. In addition to these, we have to think carefully - what we once thought of as science and technology, or even the logical science that represents induction and recognition, are they different from today's Can blurry chaos, imprecise knowledge of truth, and the way of thinking corresponding to these viewpoints communicate with each other most of the time?”

"Whether there are always distinguishable similarities and differences between them, whether it is really impossible to achieve all interchanges between them, and their own "status" - mysterious, chaotic and cannot be precisely controlled and accurately known parts and precision , stable and knowable parts, should they be opposite, complementary, and superimposed?”

"Or is it that the former is actually some kind of frontier field and development direction of the latter, or do they actually represent the "concrete representation" in the direction of our hope to understand the void and everything?"

Weisrifan's words themselves are very simple to say, but if they are to be mapped to all levels of reality, Vidoville recalled his hallucination-it might be a crazy demon where everything is mixed together and everything is carnival. temple.

"Perhaps we should let actual observation and practical application further delineate them, and let time and space determine everything." Vidoville focused his attention on Weisrifan again: "After all, no matter what it is, including still In the management structure part of exploration, the action structure and action theme part, as well as the current technology and understanding delineation and application part, etc., one of their essences is to serve our lives better. If we say now It doesn’t seem right now to allow us to delay progress that we should have had because of their nature and delineation.”

"One and now. This is a good realization and a good start."

"Control all individuals and puppets that are already in stable conditions, order them to return and prepare to guide the understanding and growth of new life." On the vast land of the blazing sun, many "incubators" are neatly arranged together. In those incubators, There are bright light spots flickering and floating, which are the state of new life before hatching. They will soon begin to form their own consciousness and have their own life - this is a new life that the empire has not had for a long time in the past.

"Sooner or later, they will see various situations in the world, and they will grow, and our guidance and teachings. Our iterations may not necessarily represent the real situation. The weak variables in each environment may even not exist. Variables also make a difference, and all final results may not be the same."

"But it is not without limitations, and it cannot be infinitely expanded. We cannot let our rules and restrictions hinder the development that we should have, but we cannot allow all understanding and thinking to be truly intertwined into a carnival of demons. "

"But it is also obvious that there are infinite possibilities in the void. We cannot judge whether they are correct or not, we can only judge whether they are in line with our values, and then whether they are suitable for the environment! If we always just follow our concepts and understanding To make judgments, we are likely to miss a lot of potential value!”

"There is also an old saying in our civilization, different values, no common ground. If all understanding and execution methods are truly allowed to exist, sooner or later they will completely interact with each other. If they interact together, how should we deal with it? What should we do? Do it? What if these situations occur not only within civilization, but also outside civilization, in other civilizations? Separate? Or determine the dominant ideas?"

"We still need to rely on reality and details. There are too many stages to cross and too many possibilities and environments to consider. This is not what we can determine now by relying on the details and virtual environments that we directly imagine. To say the least, we The technology application of virtual environment is now very mature, but we can only use it to simulate the part we can imagine."

"There's nothing wrong with having a little more noise and letting your thoughts collide. Haha~ I'm sleepy and tired. I'm still yawning all day long. The core output is still not enough for such a long time. I guess it's still not stable enough... By the way. Vidoville, it is said that you have redrawn this period of time in the past?”

"Yes, based on the calculation starting from the moment when we appeared as the precursor of "Deus Ex Machina", which represents the end of the old era. According to our later further revisions of precise details and algorithm corrections, we believe that the length of the first era is one hundred Seventy-three thousand years ago, we named it the Leap Chronicle. And from the time we were almost completely destroyed to the present 42,792,533,000 years ago, we decided to name it the Decision Chronicle ——Our strength has increased infinitely at this stage, but without these most critical decisions, we may be swallowed by the void sooner or later."

"The process of making these decisions is very simple, but they are of sufficient significance." Vesrifan put his hand on Vidoville's shoulder: "If I remember correctly, you once mentioned that in the future It seems correct to evaluate previous events and eras through the eyes of others."

"We are unfortunate, and we are lucky. We may have been invisibly imprisoned in a universe by powerful beings because we were worthless, and died in the darkness without any consciousness. We are forced to leave the world. We have experienced a lot. There are various problems and difficulties in our history. There are also many coincidences and revelations. Those memories and events, even counting us, may change with the passage of time. disappear, but they have left memories and imprints on civilization, which should last long enough."

"It's not just that. It's more than just these memories and instincts that have been integrated. Pay attention, in our past memories, us, and the civilizations we have seen, how many existences fought for power, dominance, etc.? Yes. How many existences have destroyed themselves because of their disagreement with each other? And how many races have truly respected everyone’s thoughts and wisdom?”

".We have always taken everything we have for granted." Vidoville responded with some surprise.

"Of course not - nothing is taken for granted. What you take for granted is because the starting point of the entire empire is already high enough. We have integrated too many rules and standards that we have accumulated into the starting point. They are all changing with the construction and Qingming Festival. It was completely rebuilt after the restoration. Even I have observed everyone countless times. I think everything now can be considered as being able to do what one wants without going beyond the rules."

"We have integrated quite a few ideals into our lives and into reality, rather than relying on countless external devices and self-control means to achieve our goals."

"This is a depth that we have not considered too much, but it is indeed enough for us to be surprised and surprised, although it may be simple-countless lives have perished due to this, and all lives may be in any case I never thought I would experience this. We can no longer record the ways of identifying those lives, and our failures and loss of control have caused the death of countless lives. But the entire collective we belong to has been able to survive time and time again, and has made countless new achievements, until now. "

"Different perspectives will naturally lead to different understandings and opinions. Our past is not strong enough, and our decisions may not be smart enough. We have no way to guarantee the interests of all life and existence. We once still used what we thought rules and standards to deal with what we see and know. Now we may have the ability to truly accommodate the interests of all that exist.”

"However, we have to say that we have done many things that we hate and despise, but now it is we who judge them and evaluate them."

"Why should we care? There is no right or wrong in the void and there is no need for right or wrong. We just need to be able to do it in the future so that we have a clear conscience. If we can't do it now, then we will work hard in this direction - and think about it. Thinking about it, if Σ really hopes to be able to use its own creations and the long-term plans it had planned to really play the role of a deus ex machina, wouldn't it be better now? We know what we have done and what we need to do in the future. We all know the changes we need to make, but we don’t have to treat the Atonement like a baggage and carry it around forever.”

"Thanks, Lil thanks."

"How are you recovering?"

"The basic equipment has been stabilized and the endless leap power furnace has been re-ignited. However, it seems that it may not be able to provide such a powerful output for a long time. The self-consistent law armor and internal space structure have been closed and have begun to expand again. Located in the equipment All the equipment groups that were damaged in the void of the outer hull have begun to automatically repair themselves and re-expand. Fortunately, its weight attribute has anchored the entire recovery status as a benchmark, otherwise they may really become a ruins in the future. "

"Will you learn to love and protect yourself more?" Weisrifan's hand began to feel more strength.

"certainly.

…

The night sky is dark and clear, with countless light spots passing through it.

The empire's original military system, which was built on the powerful attributes of Σ, collapsed drastically. Among the various giant facilities, only the core of the Sacred Music Praise Fortress, whose original technology really came from the empire itself, was safe and sound. They left behind the later Countless layers of enhancement structures and gain modules are attached to them, and they come to the order field of the blazing sun to provide defense for the core of the entire empire. They moved slowly along the "track", like twinkling stars.

"I wonder if there will suddenly appear a star named Gouchen whose direction is always constant and always bright when viewed from all places?"

"We have received news, Your Majesty, that some wreckage has been observed in the void. They may have belonged to certain fleet groups or certain branches of the world. Those wrecks may contain a considerable amount of resources that are very valuable to us. , and at the same time, if they are not controlled in time, we do not rule out the possibility that they themselves will lose control."

Above the blazing sun, little bits of material from the solar wind were captured and shaped. They were opened in the sky, and what was shown was the theoretical territory map of the entire empire and the current country - there is almost no comparison between them.

"The decision from everyone...has it been decided to continue to move outward? Everyone knows everything now - the empire can at least survive on its own, and the void is full of dangers. These dangers, you have seen in the past time To some of their edges and sides.”

"Of course, Your Majesty, everyone has thought deeply after understanding our history. We can now reach a general consensus - we once came so far in chaos holding weapons of unknown origin. We have done The decision has been made. Now, we must go that far again on our own. This time, we must go on by our own strength until the glory is restored."

"Whether it's in terms of military strength, breadth of observation or self-thinking, we have to go out. This core may be safe enough and we can be comfortable enough here, but now we are not just living for ourselves, we are living for many Existence, including us from long ago.”

"But there will be many difficulties, and there will also be many problems. We are far from perfect." Vidoville "reminded", "The possible crises and blood and tears cannot be made up for by enthusiasm. .This decision must come from the heart of all life."

"Of course, we understand them and we will come up with appropriate measures in time."

"We're probably going to be going through a very, very long time and we're probably going to see a lot of things."

There are a lot more arguments, but there is no animosity between these arguments, and there are no differences that really divide and shake values. Each site is rich in characteristics, and these characteristics are intertwined with each other, forming mappings that can be explored and analyzed. The correlations of these mappings represent the interweaving of countless lives and ideas. They come together and leap upward to become complex civilizational ideas, action directions and national will.

Time can heal the pain from the past, and now, everything has begun.

"In the past, the giant collective we were related to created endless chaos and distortion. There are many mistakes in the past that still need to be corrected until now. There is no doubt about it. But this does not mean that there is no reference for everything in the past. There is no success or glory worth our efforts.”

"Now we have a new lease of life. We need to take back the glory, the success and glory that is worth taking back. This time, we have to rely on ourselves."

Decisions are made with logic that is simple enough, direct enough, and clear enough. It does not involve too many checks and balances, entanglements and games from infinite aspects, but even the decision made based on this is firm enough.

——The decision-making chronicle is completed——
