Star Empire

Compared with the "grand occasion" of the first expedition, when the fleet of the second expedition returned to the empire, the attention paid to these teams had weakened to a certain extent compared to the first expedition.

"I guess next time, or if it happens a few more times, it will become a "normal" thing for the imperial fleet to conduct such an expedition, right?"

"It's hard to say. Such a spectacular expedition team is enough to attract attention."

"Tell me, why do we think something like this is spectacular?"

"What kind of problem is this? More is good, and bigness is beautiful. Isn't this something that has been engraved in the soul for a long time?"

"To be honest, I have no impression."

While the people talked about the changes and discoveries brought back by the expedition, they began to help settle the relatively familiar warriors around them who were following the fleet. The end of the expedition means that everyone will have a safe and relaxing time of stability.

However, "Easy" cannot take care of everyone in the empire now. As soon as the fleet settled down, the data obtained from the expedition were immediately surrounded by scholars from the empire.

"Some details can be determined at present. The overall protection of our fleet has not been broken. All warship systems show that the physical protection layer is good, but the existential deflection beacon and protective field structure have been greatly weakened, close to the fleet matrix. At the edge, the severity of such phenomena will increase. Analyze the feedback data to determine the details and possible crisis variables."

"It is confirmed that some individuals' bodies, souls or spirits have abnormal fluctuations. Related abnormal fluctuations can have multiple manifestations. After detailed inspection, it is found that the overall instability of this type of individual information has increased. This type of problem is most likely related to the death wave, and related The problem requires further observation and analysis, and it can be confirmed that the current fleet protection system may have flaws..."

Countless existence nodes send all kinds of information to the outside world.

In the imperial network, countless nodes are constantly transmitting various information to each other. Countless communications at different levels, different frequencies, different specifications, and different purposes overlap with each other, forming a flowing "pyramid" in the network. ".

The most common puppet soldiers and basic crew members record or communicate what they see and feel. The most valuable parts of these exchanges will be reported to the captains, who will further discuss these discussions. Simplify.

They will then continue to be reported to the commander of the conventional fleet dispersed fleet and the think tank team under the commander. Here, the content will be added with more footnotes and outer revisions.

Some of this information will continue to be uploaded, while some will be digested and processed by commanders at all levels who receive it, and then converted into purposes, requirements and orders and issued back.

If it is discovered during the process of transmitting information that some problems require changes to the infrastructure or basic principles, the information will continue to be reported until it reaches the various decision-makers.

The empire's decision-makers will decide which plans need to continue to be implemented, which issues need to be explained and further identified, etc. based on the final report results and the actual situation.

Eventually, the countless huge information flows they collect from their own areas will be converted into goals and orders, and then distributed layer by layer, accurately reaching all departments, all organizations, and even every individual.

This information also comes from everywhere. For the current remaining core territory of the empire, these information interactions can be said to be everywhere - they may come from the newly born stars in some worlds, or they may come from the unique features of the already perfected world. In the circle structure, it may come from the ribbon structure that can span hundreds of millions of light years across the entire universe as if it is alive, it may also come from some relay stations that are connected to millions of relay stations without extraordinary attributes, or it may come from the void. The fleet that started to gather again came from a variety of ships and workstations...

The huge structures paved with various lives and equipment of the Empire are almost everywhere, and the network of the Empire and the vitality of the Empire are also everywhere.

"Huh? Here...are some exchanges and thoughts from the Department of Human Resources and Human Resources?" In Vidoville's thinking thread, a series of new reports began to enter the report, and these new thinking results also made Vidoville I thought of some new, perhaps not very ideal, possibilities——

There may be differences and errors in the empire in the future, and the sources of these differences and errors may be multi-level and multi-severity.

Regarding people and tools, once upon a time, a long time ago, in order to make up for the painful changes brought about by the possible great improvement in productivity and production structure, the civilization at that time greatly improved the working ability and survival ability of all individuals. This In essence, it can be considered that people within the civilization have occupied the role of "production tools". At least, that's how it came to be in those days.

Now, the gap and boundaries between people and "tools" are becoming increasingly blurred. Many tools have powerful verification and processing capabilities, and some of them even directly contain wisdom and advanced intelligence. It has now reached a point where, in many cases, there is not much difference between people and tools compared to the entire empire - tools exist to assist people in achieving their goals, and people's role is to help the entire empire achieve its goals of development and progress...

The concepts in this are not of great significance to all existences that need the authority of the empire to operate, but if these concepts appear in other civilizations that have not yet completely integrated everything, it may lead to values ​​​​and various forms again and again. There is endless tearing and confrontation between various interests and principles.

For the empire, this is far from enough, or it has not reached the ideal end at all. This is a highly idealized state - the empire builds everything, and everything is fed back to the entire empire, and countless lives and tools are parts of the empire. When the empire roars forward, all parts will function, all parts will be mobilized, all will move forward...

"...But it cannot be said that there are absolutely no exceptions...the exceptions come from..." Vidoville continued to look down:

"This part only comes from the current speculative theory, that is, the source of disagreement and division, such individuals have essentially deviated from the interests of the empire, and their actions can be tantamount to nominal treason and substantive treason. But the current dualism is still in many abstract areas To achieve stable establishment, all possibilities should be considered for the time being - currently, it seems that the empire's own grand interests and the interests of individuals are still in a state of conflict. The contradiction may be peaceful or intensified. What is certain is that all individuals are omniscient and omnipotent, and the empire itself Before they become omniscient and omnipotent, it is difficult for them to be absolutely unified - the possibility of preserving the overall stability of the empire through emergency sacrifice of a huge number of individuals is increasing with the complexity of the environment and the stacking of time. And such sacrifices may include but are not limited to death... The empire should do this Provide clearer guidance and direction.”

"At the same time, considering the Observer Project, the empire must interact and contact with other civilizations. These contacts may come from civilizations of different levels or from civilizations of the same level."

"These contacts will inevitably lead to the flow of information from other civilizations into the empire. This may lead to the emergence of collisions of world views. At the same time, it should be considered that the nature of competition for interests for civilization may still be prevalent, and it is necessary for us to try to understand the "competition for interests" from other collectives method" and build relevant models. Such models may not be complicated, but it is necessary to confirm clear rules and bottom lines..."

"... From this point of view, some individuals may need to be separated, and they may even need to specifically fight against the current basic rules, or reflect the actual performance of the empire in a reverse mirror image...?" Vidoville's thinking thread is here A series of signs have been specified - these contents will be handed over to the Emperor's Council for adjudication and determination in the future, and a new network section may be specially created to deal with these new situations... I seem to have gone into the wrong direction again. ?

You shouldn't ask yourself to pay attention to all the details of the empire, and you can't control all the details of the empire. Since a lot of content is difficult to balance, it is impossible to say that all requirements and possibilities must be taken into account in a certain period of time - at least it seems that it cannot be done now, and it will only add trouble to myself.

And I am too easily entangled and trapped in certain problems. However, in essence, an effective decree and a series of continuously improving provisions may be enough to clarify all the entanglements and doubts - for an era, if it is suitable, it is suitable, and if it is not suitable or incorrect, it should be denied.

Whether it is acting or thinking, there should be corresponding constraints and bottom lines for individuals at every level. And these bottom lines should not be violated. If the bottom line is really exceeded, then punishment should appear and decisions must be made in response.

There are countless people who are also busy with these things - for many details and possibilities, they will look at it more carefully and concretely than themselves. They are also in a more effective interactive environment, and they should be given enough room to develop.

It may be difficult for ideals to enter reality after all, but reality can be transformed, and the transformation becomes closer and closer to the idealization that may never be achieved.

It’s not that idealization cannot exist, it’s just that in order to make everything ideal and simple, more preparation work and detail stacking work may be required. At the same time, it may also be necessary for all beings supporting this environment to have a broader heart. With a more tenacious will - even if you learn from the best of others, you can also identify the truth at the bottom line without destroying the Great Wall. After all, for each group of different beings, the "ideal" is very different.

The node projections of the imperial fleet spreading outward in a radial pattern began to slowly shrink, and a considerable number of nodes began to turn around - probably after tens or hundreds of years, the fleet has reached the limit range where it can safely survive, and in more than a hundred years Here, these imperial individuals fighting on the front line also contributed their own efforts to the expedition plan and the further advancement and realization of all goals in it. Now, they can go home - but... only partially.

part.

It is conceivable that if the expedition continues in the future, sooner or later the empire will advance to the end of the past, the known border in a broad sense. As long as the empire can survive, expeditions that include all exploration and development are currently unnecessary and will not be suspended. This also means that there will always be people who need to stay on the front line of the unknown and the need to be developed. .

In addition to them, there are more people who may have suffered irreversible trauma due to past events - for example, it may be caused by the death wave, direct or indirect body/soul collapse and corruption, or there may be They may have been directly killed in accidents or irreversible consumption, the parts that can be saved may be incomplete, and more may be difficult to save... Such situations may seem rare at the moment, but as the realm of possibilities expands, They will only increase.

If we go back hundreds of millions or tens of billions of years ago, relying on the old technology that has not yet collapsed and the old environment that now seems to be able to make all the wishes come true in terms of details, the entire empire may be able to rely infinitely on the void. Survey radar, world line tree, or other violent narrative techniques can reset all lives and souls, but this is no longer possible, and it may be difficult and difficult to do in the future, and...

Now, I have made an agreement with Vesrifan not to rely endlessly on technology and power beyond the current environment of civilization to make up for the current shortcomings, even if the losses are heavy, even if they are thought-provoking.

At least for now, technology that is too advanced and needs that are too incompatible with the current environment are enough to tear the entire empire apart - before those technologies can be digested and used by individuals with the right ideas with the right plans and procedures, they have "Poison" abilities seem to be more powerful than the use of them and spread to unknown places.

More sites were built, and more fortresses stood in the void without any support or support. Among the light spots, ancient flagships and brand-new fleets cruised among them. They were the frontiers of the empire's activities, the boundaries between the known and unknown of the current empire.

In the eyes of observers, some worlds are no longer the same. The connections between the worlds have been re-established, and the fate of the worlds has begun to be different. They may have been almost the same, but due to receiving the eyes of different observers, they have become different. They themselves have also become different. Some of them are still operating, not much different from other worlds in the empire, while some have begun to close the loop, heading towards blockade and collapse...

The main axis of time of the Empire is like a ruler that carves "self-absolute" out of relativeness. Its stable operation determines the changes and space-time possibilities in all other worlds that will be affected by the Empire. This ruler may have never been surpassed. It is a matter of counting, but looking at it now, between countless relativities, countless independent and chaotic space-time coordinates, evolutionary coordinates and relative reference coordinates, this reference system that still has absolute significance corrects the chaos based on the intrinsic foundation of the empire. Void coordinates.

If this is not done, the endless relativities and results from different reference systems will not be integrated, and countless isolated coordinate systems will be self-contained and unable to be integrated with other systems.

"...These situations have only appeared in previous "great chaos" periods."

"As for now...the empire has enough opportunities and basic strength to be able to digest these problems without collapsing."

In the past tens of billions of years, the empire's endless devouring and expansion has accumulated a huge amount of power, and the foundation that was directly "copied" out of thin air and forcibly drawn from the huge whirlpool that spread across the void has gone beyond reality. The collapse of illusions also remains.

ΣAt one time, it was possible that a large number of deductions were conducted in places unknown to civilization, countless plans were prepared, and countless possibilities were calculated. How many of these results were realized, how many were swallowed up by the void without taking effect at all, and how many of them may have been realized by "accidental errors" that happened to bring everything back on track... The empire has been unable to figure it out.

It can only be said that that huge existence that seems to have become a thing of the past and is drifting away is fading out of the present of the empire. Projects related to them have either been closed or become unresolved as time goes by. It is not ruled out that they will still appear in the future, which may be very far or very near, but now... they may no longer need to be given endless attention all the time because of combat issues.

The empty and dark void hints at more possibilities, but to digest so many possibilities, more time and opportunities may be needed.

It may have taken tens of billions of years for the Empire to learn how to "preserve" itself in the void.

And if you want to learn how to live well and live a meaningful life, it may take longer.

Unimaginable time.

…

There are countless things to deal with across the empire. In many moments, what can be recorded and sorted out may only be a section or a side that can be imprinted in a long time and vast space.

What should be done at every moment, every moment? What already fits now? What else doesn't fit? How to modify what is not suitable, and how to maintain what is suitable?
