Star Empire

With the start of the expedition as a new node, history is divided again.

After all, the previous era still left too many fogs and shortcomings.

In its most insane period, the Empire even shaped or extinguished huge structures like the branches of the world at will.

Countless them spread wantonly in the void, forming a chaotic and huge territory. They themselves may not be stable, but under the desperate constraints of the empire's external forces, they have to stay with the empire, across endless wars and wars. confusion.

The death knell has tolled, and its sound may have spread throughout the Void Quadrant, but now, all evidence has been wiped out, and the empire is currently unable to explore the details of that powerful civilization.

The empire can only calculate the nature and details of Σ technology based on the nine days in its memory.

After experiencing the baptism of the death knell, the more direct cause of the burning of the entire empire was the "dead light".

The process of destruction continues. When the Quadrant Continent first collapsed, some world branches remained in the core area of ​​the empire. However, as the empire further weakened, those giant world structures that were not very stable further disintegrated.

A large number of worlds experienced huge void deviations in the void, and most of them were directly crushed into noises. Even if they were not directly swallowed by the void at the first time, the huge impact was still very big. It may have caused unimaginable pressure on them

The empire will weaken—much, much weaker.

The newly formed lives and the repaired puppets became weak, and they seemed to be unable to resist the impact of the information deviation difference. This may be due to a decline in the overall resistance of the empire, or it may be that the fleet's equipment with poor counter information offset can no longer meet the needs, or it may be because the environment has changed significantly and the old standards have begun to become inapplicable. at present.

There is no doubt that the "survivors" of the empire, as well as the "resuscitators" awakened from the soul ocean by Vesrifan, need to solve these problems. They require a lot of effort and a long time.

There are quite a few facilities whose principles have been forgotten, and how they operate has been forgotten. Although more devices can still be used, how to use them has become a problem.

Void Sun has a backup of a large amount of knowledge, and the empire also has some databases stored in the core territory.

If dealt with in time, perhaps the entire empire would not directly become primitive due to this.

But it is certain that it will take considerable time for those ancient knowledge to be reused and match the current environment. They are not directly applicable to reality. They must be learned by all living things and be used by life and reality. Understand and "polished" again.

The Holy Sound Praises the Void Fortress and some of the surviving void survey radars shine in the void. They are perhaps the brightest parts of the few bright colors left in the entire empire so far.

All battleships and equipment need to be re-analyzed and tested, including application principles, control methods, operating modes, scope of action, construction possibilities, maintenance possibilities, maintenance possibilities, etc. Everything needs to be started again.

From the microscopic information element components, the functions and influences between the parts, to the huge fleet that can spread to the end of the world, they all need to undergo complex and complicated analysis and testing until they can be freely used by the empire, until they become part of the imperial system.

"If you are still dividing subjective perceptions of years, months and days according to our old rules, if I remember correctly this is the 9364th "World Branch Zenith" you dragged back this month. "Yes. If I haven't guessed wrong, the cavities inside these "World Branches Zenith" are probably filled with various debris... What have you done before?"

"...In fact, it's not difficult to imagine that we just let the primitive self-replicate and last for a long enough time..." Vidoville's figure appeared in front of Weisrifan, "Let's talk face to face, it's safer. Feeling, after all, maybe I won’t be able to go back next time…”

"——No nonsense!"

"Well, speaking of self-replication, in the early stages of the decision-making era, we further subdivided it into the wreckage period. We relied on the technical extreme deduction module to find out the basic industrial modules that could be "universal transformation" after guidance, and even later in On this basis, we further researched universal information primitives that can be directly transformed into all things. They can shape any structure and existence - starting from the most basic materials to ubiquitous fields and fields covering the entire empire. Of course, Including themselves.”

"I vaguely remember that we once issued a cluster of commands to them, and they will change themselves according to a command structure similar to a ladder." On the one hand, Vidoville's consciousness is maintaining an ancient but seemingly inexplicable ritual dialogue. , and in the Order Field, another part of his body, the Arcane Throne and the Void Matrix are laboriously "pulling" the newly recovered huge pyramid to the designated location.

"I'm so tired... Nowadays, many devices are either malfunctioning or the effect they can produce has been greatly reduced. These big guys can't suppress the concentration of information. If you use an older method, it may be similar to reputation and name, all of which will become owned." The weight of the person." Looking at the huge pyramids neatly stacked in the order field, as well as the arrows "floating up and down" between the pyramids, Victorville couldn't help but have a strange sense of sight and thought - after the pyramids were assembled, Will the empire also have that endless and magnificent continent?

"No, there is still a considerable gap. There are already problems that are technically difficult to solve before reaching that level. If the Order Field wants to make valuable expansion, each time it reaches a higher level, it needs to input a potentially infinite resource network."

"What?"

"...It's nothing, just a meaningless idea that suddenly popped up. There is no value in talking about it now." Vidoville quickly waved his hand, "Let's go back to the previous topic. We have used almost all methods to create a large number of industries. Primitives and ensuring that they can be used eternally, at the same time, they are also greatly expanded in terms of scale, reaching all possible limits."

"Then you may have been doing this for tens of billions of years." Weisrifan nodded with a half-smile, "From a direct perspective, the amount of force retained by the entire empire in my memory is based on your approach, even if there is No matter how much the reduction factor is, the weapons and equipment you produce should only be an insignificant part compared to all the industrial primitives you produce."

"It's true. If the memory I compiled is still reliable, after the "Star Movement" ceremony, a considerable part of the materials were used to build the "domain" and field structure of the entire empire, and most of them were either directly burned. Lost, or were "ascended" to a realm with a higher degree of illusion. That part of the consumption accounts for the vast majority. The actual weapons, etc. are only small compared to those fields that span the entire empire. Some but now it seems that more of them have been preserved.”

"Forget it, it's all over. Victorville, I saw some new things, and I think it's worth telling you." Wei Ruifan lightly snapped his fingers, coming from the still silent surface of Lieyang. Two bunches of sparks appeared on the sky. They responded to Weisrifan's will and spread out in the sky, forming two large nets, one dense and one sparse.

"Is this a simulated structure of branches of the world?"

"Yes, the dense network represents what you think of as the "branches of the world," while the sparse network is also the branches of the world, but it can be thought of like this: they are "original goods" and can be transported in the void. Talking about the super large-scale world structure formed spontaneously." Wei Ruifan nodded, "This network only selected a part that I have roughly determined, and it itself may spread infinitely. After all, the current worldview gap in the Void Quadrant is compared to Compared to other quadrants, a single void quadrant may be endless."

"The difference is huge, and if the branches of the artificial world are limited but dense at the same time, with such a dense arrangement of worlds and such a small information deviation, the empire can create so many worlds. The branches span the void environment that can be said to be very deep and vast.”

"And in essence, these two basic structures are similar but have vastly different world structures in terms of overall scale and constraint content, but they are basically the same origin. This itself can also explain something - there are large-scale structures in the void, and their scale is It is much grander and larger than we imagined. The visible part is already like this, and they are likely to be endless. At least it is very likely that we will not be able to use it for trillions or even tens of trillions of years. Its measurement is complete."

".This means that there is a considerable gap between where we are now and where we "should start climbing", and there may be countless possible ladders and fracture zones that are best left untouched, but we Now we can no longer see those missing parts, we are missing all the middle layers. Does this mean that many of our new ideas in the future may not definitely correspond to that era?”

"That's right. Not to mention now, even in the Federation period, the entire Federation did not develop in a day or a year, or even tens of millions or hundreds of millions of years. I can recall some of the content, although it is very vague, and then There are more and older fragments, probably because Σ's own actions have made other civilizations, or the fragments of the history of our own civilization, the structure of the universe very complicated. It is very likely that we once lived on a planet , on a planet that can host our former life forms, the stars are neither close nor far from us."

"We reach the nearest star to us, we try to explore the constellations we once delineated, we strive to go to the cantilever in the previous picture, we cross the cantilever hole where the interstellar material is very thin, we break through the most dangerous jet to the galactic center, we leave The Milky Way blows a bubble into darkness and another bubble."

"The local galaxy group, the higher-level local supercluster, Laniakela, many such huge final gravitational structures, the Great Wall of Space, and ubiquitous large-scale filamentous fiber structures. Just inside the universe, It is already so complex, and the void is far wider than the world. We can only confirm that these are advanced structures now, but if our time is long enough, it will never end. Maybe the void will show other aspects, The world is just the foundation, just like the stars in the universe.”

"These problems are indeed very complex, but we should feel fortunate that we are aware of the existence of these problems. We realize that we must build stairs that can go to higher and lower floors instead of living in a castle in the air with peace of mind." Although it has long been I have thought about all this, but when they are wrapped with a part of seemingly rare emotions and then thrown to themselves, this still seems to be a very serious issue.

"This is also the new part I want to talk about. It can be said to be a good thing, but we must pay attention to such a new trend and do enough coordination and guidance in it, at least for now." The girl in front of him typed again. Snapping his fingers, a battleship appeared in the sky - a pale golden smooth shell, with a slender and smooth body like a big seed full of vitality.

It has become much fuller and heavier than it once seemed. The originally weak and light flying bridge in my memory seems to have become a thick barrier, and the crystal matrix in the main gun and "stern" parts seems to have become more regular and regular, and its number There has been a substantial increase, which may be a response to the recent drastic changes in the surrounding environment.

"If I remember correctly, Lil, this is the part of the original combat ship model we once built that has gone through countless improvements and is currently in use."

"Yes, you are right." Wei Ruifan gently slid his finger, and the lifelike battleship really came to life for a moment. There seemed to be some regular slight fluctuations around it, and its bow shield It soon appeared, and on the outside of the shield, a very bright golden "sun" condensed and formed, and was activated in the next moment, and a dazzling torrent of crystal energy shot into the darkness in the distance.

"Now, just such a bombardment has a considerable number of explanations, spreading across all levels and spreading into countless structures." Visrifan sighed, "This part should be encouraged, but before they really develop. They may be like They are new granulations that tear apart rotten flesh. Their growth is absolutely important, but there will also be considerable pain during the growth process."

". Some people still think in an older and simpler way, thinking that after a crystal energy bombardment destroys the target, it is just like the bombardment a long time ago, except that it is more advanced now - the definition and coverage of the target have been greatly expanded, and the crystal energy cannon itself Its effective mechanism is more direct than previous energy attacks and pseudo-law and weak law weapons."

"It marks the target's position with the target's third-order line of sight, then locks in the target's existence and then attacks the target. In this way, it can effectively utilize the extraordinary properties of crystal energy and be effective in all time and space dimensions without being affected by ordinary world space. "Constraint"

"There are also quite a few people who believe that all worlds, countless universes, and various existences themselves have a baseline called "reality", and that all of our weapons, including quite a few abilities, have It is by affecting this baseline that we change reality.”

"In other words, this is the distortion and reconstruction of reality - such as the strong reality stabilization field a long time ago. They were understood by imperial technology long ago, but for the high reality baseline environment, it can kill low baseline people like waking up from a dream. Such an understanding of definite real creation is not unacceptable, and it itself has considerable value. After all, it can be said to be a development path that is self-contained enough in itself."

"Then, there is the narrative system you introduced." Weisrifan finally added, "All explanations are valid from different perspectives - crystal energy and so on are considered to be universal and powerful energies. As information fluctuations and powerful high-level information, they themselves can also be seen as taking effect by pushing the target to produce corresponding "changes". This "change" can of course include destroying them. This is actually like writing a story. Same."

"For the controllers of the battleships, they write their own pens to describe the changes in information in the void, and these changes correspond to the crystal energy firepower and the target disappears from the story. In addition, this idea itself can also develop a A complete information control system, similarly, there are many extraordinary powers that we have emerged that can be applied by this idea."

"These are just rough outlines that can be described in this way. Each paragraph's pursuit of details and different levels can produce countless branches and detailed theories, and their interaction can also interweave countless iterations."

The two of them sighed in unison.

The concept of "empire" has returned, civilization has begun to be rebuilt, and life has returned. They share their ideas with each other, and quarrels may break out from time to time. They all hope to prove that their theories are more correct and have a wider scope of application. There may be secret contests in countless lives, or they may cooperate with each other to achieve a win-win situation. They took on various responsibilities and began to study countless goals. Life began to return, and everything seemed so vibrant.

However, as an old era has gone by, all the countless goals now located in the command ladder and mission plans once corresponded to unimaginable great creations. They once spread across the unimaginable multiverse, and they acted When it rises, the light it produces can remove the darkness of the sky. All technologies and purposes have been culminated in history, but now more of them are actually only ruins.

"Ah, you still need to adapt and understand..."
