Star Empire

In the face of the death tide, when huge structures begin to rot due to this impact, they often start from the details and parts that are difficult to pay attention to under ordinary circumstances. Although this comes from the details and from the countless invasion points of decay that continue to spread and become more serious. It is difficult to determine all the details of the specific manifestations of the disaster within those "points".

However, for the entire macrostructure, the damage still shows a linear development from shallow to deep, from local to overall, and from minor to severe.

There are countless chaotic ones, and the results obtained by counting them will fall into chaos. Even the method of measuring damage and rotation may continue to fall into confusing and weird results. There is no reason why they are in the same direction. It is not clear that such a clear linear development trend exists at the macro level.

Perhaps an appropriate mathematical model can restore some of the performance attributes of dead tide pollution as much as possible, but if the "why" in principle is actually touched upon,

It is difficult to know what method should be used to study the part that needs to be explained if all causes and reasons are also destroyed along with the research goal. Now, a considerable part of knowledge and experience is not so much objective and solid truth as it is fragments - fragments of various empirical theories and empirical formulas derived from countless realities and statistics in the past, intentionally or unintentionally, some kind of A black box that is so obscure that you don’t need to care about it anymore.

It can even be considered that their basis is attached to such a vast order environment and the objective reality composed of countless worlds, so that these foundations are enough to dilute or cover up the understanding that they themselves are "empirical theories" and "empirical formulas", making They do appear to be objective axioms.

"But is it really necessary? If we consider the possible attributes of void and its contradiction with the current overall system, then we will never be able to get an acceptable solution to the paradox we have woven by ourselves. Because We start by creating a logical contradiction, an unsolvable loophole or an eternal loop. We put it all in here and then try to explain it logically - it's like trying to walk around it. Exit Penrose Stairs..."

What is the void and all this? Is it important to pursue the truth and possible truth behind this? Or... just apply it in the right area? What should we pursue? We must find a stable foundation, an eternal and unbreakable truth and rely on it. Or should we continue to expand ourselves and let ourselves become a certain baseline for measuring all things? We must use ourselves as a basis to proofread and improve, and in the new Continuously add new branches and leaves in the development iterations to make yourself more comprehensive?

It emphasizes application and reality, but a considerable amount of current research actually does not know what the basic theory is, or whether the basic theory currently practiced can maintain its own stability to which level of the sky in the "Nine Heavens" is located. It’s not clear, they are just “used in this way to show the results needed by the empire, it’s very useful.”

Reality and tone should complement each other. The real environment affects the logical structure of the empire, and the logical structure guides the empire to adopt appropriate ways to think and change reality. This is theoretical content.

But in reality, there are too many factors that can exist as obstacles, from each individual, each individual's thoughts and deeds, to the Void Blazing Sun that spans a considerable number of world branches and the remains of world branches. Stellar wind fields... they are everywhere in a sense, and they can also be seen as the tension from reality, the lag of empire, the pull of the environment.

An individual, a group of individuals, a fleet, a fleet group, countless fleet groups, and even sky zones and other larger structures. Just because they can accurately complete the orders they receive and their tasks does not mean that obstacles do not exist and are invisible. Unlike tangible difficulties that would not affect the empire, they might not represent constraints in "conventional" terms; they would be more obscure and difficult to solve.

"Is this good? I mean using the loopholes created by such a large fault zone to break in these contents? If the activation of historical iterations produces a compensatory phenomenon, the impact will be huge."

"There are not too many problems in itself. Everything is finally authorized after countless rigorous calculations and proofreading throughout the empire. And content like this is actually something people want to get at all times. We just want it to be relatively clear. Necessary moments can be highlighted as soon as possible - we are moving towards idealization. For now, these effects may not be important, but for those parts that are deeply remembered, they are still effective enough."

"Idealization. Even the simplest ideal, it seems difficult for us to fully conform to it now."

"This is also one of the direct reasons why there is no end to progress. Look at those gods, don't they still need to coordinate possible conflicts, and they are still trying to make progress until now? Top just means the current highest height, and It does not mean that it has "reached the top", but as everything develops, the height of this top will continue to grow."

".The future is promising."

Time becomes a bit blurry and the overall stability seems to be diminished.

Time is relative. It is not an absolutely objective and stable ruler. They appear based on reality, order, and the evolution of information clusters. Time belongs to all information bodies, but time does not belong to all information bodies.

Perhaps it is the large number of intertwined interactions that finally made time a usable ruler that can span multiple fields in reality. Perhaps it is the belief that the void is not so "empty" and so absolutely "cold".

It may be because of the void field that countless systems originally formed their own systems, and it was impossible for them to form any unified reference system among themselves. They finally started at a common time, in a place where there may only be a back and no front. The nodes begin to truly connect with each other, and begin to communicate with each other through some disturbances that are so weak that they may not actually exist... The largest of them may have the ability to independently control everything, and independently determine the timeline with a higher weight. , that is called main axis time...

But such a special existence needs to rely on a large and covariant unified body of information. And now, with the invisible spread of death wave pollution on the front line, this existence that is still struggling to maintain the status quo after experiencing a large-scale collapse may be partially shattered by this - starting from the borders and details.

"The clock system is unstable and it is difficult to verify the current maintenance records. There are unknown abnormalities in the maintenance record information. They seem to have come to life. The accurate tool reading shows that there is no real abnormality."

"There is an abnormality in the sensing time and time correction process. The relative differences in stable time clusters between fleets are showing a tendency to spread apart. The instability is increasing. Feedback on related phenomena is required."

"How many years has it been? Isn't the war over yet? The third expedition should have already begun. I wonder if the third expedition will be suspended due to the heavy attrition and constraints caused by this battle."

"Slow response to the command? We responded immediately the moment we received the command, and we have comprehensive records! The communication lines began to load, maintaining the information flow, and correcting the time when the command was issued. Five months ago? No, fifty Years ago? Which order was that? We did not receive it! The fleet has no records, records are collated, and the collation records screening failed? We--oh! The instability is so high, we should retreat immediately!"

"The response array is delayed and the application has not been approved."

"The plan for the fourth expedition won't be abandoned halfway, right? How many years have passed and there is no corresponding news."

"First of all, this is not a problem we should consider now. We are ordered to fight against the death wave, and fighting the death wave itself means that we have to close the contact with each other and reduce all unnecessary information exchanges as much as possible. We are now in The war is going on here, and other tasks are left to those who have corresponding arrangements. You should not care about these, and you should not talk about related issues in this way here - what's more, we have only been fighting for half a year, and we are not ready for the next one. A large-scale expedition will take at least 30 million years, so why do you already care about the fourth one?"

"You have very little credibility - the log system indicates that we have been here fighting the death tide for at least ninety million years and considering...wait, why are the logs alive? A key target for my mind control and mechanical devices I can’t get the corresponding key information even if I click on it. Have the logs been deleted? Then what is that part of the network that is smiling at us?”

More and more strange events and vulnerabilities are appearing in the widely dispersed forward fleet group. When they appear sporadically in a small area, expand to a large area, a super large area, or even a full area, or even occur frequently, the daily stability maintenance measures and The narrative compensation system was finally crushed by itself because the foundation supporting its existence disappeared. They were noticed by more senior fleet commanders almost instantly. However, even if they were noticed, these messages still experienced more delays. Only then was it sent to the decision-making level - because even the more advanced fleet structures began to be affected by the differences between reference systems.

I am afraid that before the earliest order system was initially established, it was really impossible for the worlds to have any connection with each other. There would be no relationship between them no matter how they evolved. The life and death of the world was indescribable, and it might be just like Billions of starry skies from different universes and different eras came together, and all the stars began to scream as they climbed up and fell.

There is no connection between the worlds. Even if you jump out of the world at that time, you may not be able to find any other world at all, because all the worlds are self-contained, and they cannot be classified into a reference system that can measure and be compatible with each other. in the same graph paper

The death tide can dismantle the void field, and the need to isolate each other further causes the relative time flow of each other to become more discretized. At the same time, countless hallucinations also begin to climb upward from the base, involving countless people and equipment in this network. .

The destruction of the dead tide can appear in any field and at any level. In many cases, the direct destruction it brings may not directly erode the solid and self-consistent information body, but they may first make the original self-consistent and solid information body It is eroded and becomes chaotic, becoming "loose and porous".

In this process, a considerable amount of reverse information total degree jumps were captured, and the decrease in measurement accuracy of information concentration at this time further confirmed that their instability began to increase.

"This is the result obtained from all the reports from below and the possible results filtered out by the Void Sky Survey Radar from the Narrative Network, and the information is optimized according to the current highest stability. Because these results contain a lot of unstable information, there are many expressions The actual meaning of the unit correspondence is not clear and there may be a lot of redundancy." Within this focus, the system is broadcasting these unoptimistic reports to everyone with access to the current situation.

"The problem has become serious, very serious." In the information exchange area established by the joint meeting of high-level fleet commanders and the emperor's district council on the front line, feelings of anxiety and tension began to creep into the hearts of those who attended. "Confirming that the intelligence is correct, then the unstable situation and actual damage level of the frontline fleet may far exceed our current estimate. Many reports and many entities are likely to be destroyed before responding, and there are still many of them It may be impossible to make correct judgments due to the influence of various hallucinations.”

"The independence has been promoted too high. Without active proofreading from a third party, no matter how much redundancy they prepare inside the death tide affected area, it will be useless. These redundancies may be damaged simultaneously with the main system, and they will not be able to do so at all. We cannot find a stable and solid basis for proofreading to confirm that there are major contradictions in this part, and we need to strengthen our strength to carry out balanced attacks in the future.”

"Can we still determine the specific range of stability?" Vidoville asked after a brief silence.

"At present, only the escort fleets directly under the super flagship and the core flagship of the position, as well as some of the flagships themselves, can be determined to be stable. The escort fleet can be considered the latest to be affected/the most damaged among the simultaneous impacts because it is within multi-layer protection. In light part, some core flagships that need to interact with the external environment have experienced some system instability. As for the lower nodes, we cannot ensure that commands can be accurately conveyed to the relevant areas, nor can we determine their own time stability, and thus It’s also unclear whether they will be able to provide feedback or how long it will take for them to provide feedback.”

"Emergency Assessment Team and Emergency Rapid Response Force!"

"It has been assessed that the current fleet network structural redundancy is not enough to support the reopening of all nodes while maintaining isolation strength. The current free information redundancy is not enough to build stable and high-security communication links. All nodes should be opened directly. Contact is very dangerous. Rapid reaction forces can go deep into the scene, but the number of existing rapid reaction forces is seriously insufficient. Like the former, they are unable to complete the assigned tasks within the current time limit."

". Consistent with the response from us and the logical host array. First order the activation of the industrial primitives, start from a more stable interval to build a high-security communication link that can maintain the bandwidth, contact the void survey radar array to screen the narrative network, and confirm The sequence of starting the recovery - Void Fierce Sun, transferring part of the Imperial Lens to support the frontal battlefield - the degree of instability here is increasing!"

"After confirmation, the fleet conducting the crack cauterization operation is ordered to retreat in an orderly manner. The imperial lens is about to turn its focus and irradiation direction and evacuate quickly!"

At the core of the empire, the queen who was located on the blazing white sun received the completion report from the relevant fleet. She began to slowly and carefully adjust her wind field, adjusting the firepower systems within the empire's countless worlds and the empire's world. In the overall arrangement, she added and deleted information inside and outside the path as carefully as possible, cautiously retracted and released the slowly turning firepower base, and directed their firepower towards the frontal confrontation battlefield.

The membranes in the Imperial World, the stars in the Imperial World, the structural layers in the Imperial World, the facilities in the Imperial World, the fields and light and shadow filling the Imperial World inside and outside...the beings that can play a role in this aspect are all mobilized. They seem chaotic and disorderly, but unlike before, they now have their own wisdom and rational controllers. They are no longer them, no longer just pouring out their own thoughts crazily in blindness and chaos. A chaotic being of uncontrolled rage.

They carefully avoided the living beings and tried their best to avoid those attack paths that might touch other "selves".

The blazing attack contained violent fluctuations that once needed to be studied one by one. They are either grouped or advanced in parallel. They span the gap between coordinates. They span the gates of countless worlds that are collapsing behind them. They span the chasm of the void that will tear apart all barriers from time to time and swallow everything with darkness. They direct firepower towards what is happening. The source of destruction that destroys the empire and destroys its fellow citizens.

The scorching sun burned the corrupted boundaries of the fault zone, and burned one after another hideous wounds on the boundaries that could not be recovered. Pure darkness poured in from these wounds, and the darkness swallowed up the things that should have flowed deeper. A cloud of smoke that resembles blood and pus.

The swirling mist and dark red light dissipated in it. The void in reality became meaningless due to the evaporation of the basis of reality. All time came to an end, and the lightning of laws was silently extinguished in the abyss by the black sea.

The wound was torn open, and the rotten "flesh" was being burned and sizzling, and among them, there was a faint, occasional sound that had already become an overwhelming sound. No one cared about the source behind it. No one, the silent scream. The howl cannot be noticed, because no one has ever screamed or howled here.

"." A throbbing went through Victorville's heart.

Normally, just because an empire is big doesn't mean everything is slow and clunky. What determines whether it is "cumbersome" or not is whether it has precise and extensive control methods. Needless to say, the higher intelligence data collected from various civilizations during this time, even from those worlds, from those considered to be the original soulless creations without direct "intelligent souls", without that special projection, have shown this Simple and direct truth - many huge creatures and huge entities are far more complex than their ancestors, but they are more flexible and know how to control themselves than their ancestors. What plays a decisive role is their experience. Over a long period of time and countless layers of historical iterations, its own mechanism, which has been constantly polished and superimposed, is far superior to its ancestors.

But now the situation is "not normal."

Now, the ends of the Imperial fleet are rotting away, nerves and flesh being stripped from the main body, and this makes many outcomes now seem uncertain and extremely dangerous. In this abnormal situation, at every moment, there may be countless people dying due to various reasons, and the stories left to them or their stories may only be one sentence, or none at all.

This may be the same as the ancient bodies used by our ancestors - the entire body can maintain high flexibility and accuracy under the control and coordination of many mechanisms, but it should be the same as some of the current observations. At that time, The body also maintains its operation and health through the replacement and apoptosis of micro-elements.

The people of the empire have similarities and differences with those micro-yuan people.

Development is for a better life, but if for the countless, most basic lives of the empire, if the price of development requires them to be thrown into firepower at any time like firewood and burned in exchange for the power to move forward, then among them, Did something go wrong badly enough to cause the tragedy and tragedies that may have been played out many times in many records to be repeated within the Empire?

Even if it does not reappear, then the current path, the current purpose in development has deviated from the direct and basic purpose? If the wrong route empties the foundation of the goal, how long can the goal be maintained?

I am not outstanding, if I really want to "one general will make a thousand bones wither".

Then a ruler who has long since become incompetent in a fierce environment, and who may even deserve to be nailed to the pillar of shame and swept into the past history in the past several radical changes, may even be What will happen to the rulers?

There is no need to strategize, no need to decisively defeat the void, no need to exhaust all the mechanisms, only to make decisions that can be considered correct and rational at the time on major events, no need to have many palaces, only to grasp the key forks in the road. Helmsman, do the most basic part well, handle the two or three things experienced in the development in an appropriate and rational way and attitude, be not arrogant when making achievements, not be discouraged when facing difficulties, be able to deal with everything calmly when encountering pressure, All people can do this.

How much impact will this have?

In this position, nothing can be shaken off, but if this responsibility is carefully considered, is it so easy to bear? And if it is not easy to bear, can this position be thrown away at will, and those pressures and loads can be escaped at will? ?

Many times, it is not logic and ideals that determine reality, but rather the various decisions in the past that have laid the foundation for many things and are still promoting many things.

The waves roll forward, but the river is full of eddies and countercurrents.

In essence, these worlds are not beautiful, these worlds are not simple, and they are not always filled with laughter. Blood and thorns do not need any flashy carvings. If the simplest corpse has been worn away, the all-embracing darkness can most intuitively reflect all difficulties.

"What the hell... what the hell! All the alarms are going off, all the alarms are still going off, why is there still no support from anyone here?!"

With a sharp "crack" sound, a large piece of solid screen that was originally filled with countless flashing light spots and a group of curves that were becoming more and more ferocious and crazy was smashed to pieces with a punch, and the fragments were scattered everywhere. , on the floor, on the surrounding similar facilities and other people, on the curved and smooth reactor shell, and on the surrounding walls. They then disintegrated completely, leaving no trace.

"Commander jh-54272, I'm afraid you need to calm down. The situation here is not that bad. Many equipment are still online normally, and most of the work is still carried out in order..."

"The nonsense is in order! Look at those alarms! Look at those links and stasis chambers that have gradually collapsed! Look at those dangerous containment stacks! They are now simply a series of explosive barrels that may destroy all facility arrays at any time. Together with our terminal monitoring facilities, they were blasted into the void in an instant!"

His sharp eyes swept over several facilities, several floating screens, and several equipment that had been replaced due to the disturbance of the external death wave. He did not look at the crowd.

After a brief silence, angry "voices" once again sounded on the network here: "Everyone reported different results at the same time. These results were so bizarre that it was like the world was born from the end of the world... Forget it, here Negative emotions and environments are not suitable for quarrels. Liaison officer, confirm the current status of the messenger escape fleet!"

"The state is not good. The corresponding fleet is still trying to break through the spiral world maze. This wandering phenomenon exists between the "illusion/fallacy state" and the "real state" at the same time. The current fleet has been seriously disturbed and the breakthrough progress is slow."

"...This kind of method is needed to transmit information at the most critical moment, and there are so many unstable factors. I really don't know if the fleet will directly crash into the void next. Birth Echelon/Existence Echelon It is really surprising and unacceptable that there are so many black boxes in the existence-related network. Direct communication will have a high risk of contamination spread, and using entities to perform expressive hints will reduce the risk... Alas, I can only say that it can be explained, but for these complex and unstable processes, can't we provide ways to improve them as soon as possible..."

jh–54272 murmured to himself, not paying attention to the few scattered but struggling and questioning glances around him. He looked at the pale golden color that fell around him like melted ointment. On the wall of the hall, he shook his head and moved his gaze to a crack on the wall that was seeping into a black and red two-dimensional pattern:

"Strange, some tasks seem to have been forgotten... The terminal monitoring stations of other departments should be notified to also send out escape teams... What should be done?"

He struggled to think, the crumbling equipment around him, the melting shields and protective armor fell down, but they were just passing phantoms. Chaotic information loses its original rules and becomes indescribable in a closed space. A series of alerts were issued quickly, but the contamination spread as quickly as the alerts themselves.

"Actually...did we really send someone out to ask for help? Did we really..."

…

"Requesting to mark the current relative coordinates of the fleet! The entire fleet reference system is becoming unstable!"

"The request failed and the corresponding node did not reply."

"Requesting relevant detection performance! Our fleet's sensor error data is increasing!"

"The request failed and the corresponding node did not reply."

"Request the terminal control room to contact the higher-level structure of the empire! There is a high probability that the fleet will be unable to break through the current blockade of the world structure! It is confirmed that the degree of distortion and complexity of the world structure has increased!"

"Senseless operation, the corresponding node does not exist."

"——Doesn't exist? This...this is impossible..."

The strange responses that kept flashing in front of me left more and more uneasiness and doubts in the ship control hall filled with interactive terminals.

In front of the fleet, structures that could no longer distinguish between true and false emerged one after another. They appeared at coordinate points that should have been in the void and "wrapped" the fleet tightly like a dragnet. The fleet's navigation system had to issue various warnings that may have been repeated thousands of times while mobilizing all its redundancies to complete the corresponding complex calculations.

Countless lights and shadows kept repeating, and the stars that became huge and ferocious trembled and fell from the dark sky. Groups of specious lights and shadows rose up from the black sea. The depth of the twisted space structure showed an entity like a spiral. weird logical constants.

The spreading force field is covered with tumors and scars, and the floating ribbons seem to have turned into malicious lightning dragons. They are constantly swimming inside and outside the surrounding world structure, as if they are waiting for an opportunity to launch an attack, trying to combine these with the surrounding world. All the incompatible prey are caught in one fell swoop, and they extend endlessly forward and backward, forming an endless spiral that ends with each other.

However, the occasional flash of sensor data can show that they do not seem to be entities, and the fleet is just stuck on the world barrier that has been largely replaced by extraordinary energy. Everyone is just waiting for the calculation array to settle the results of various surrounding problems and match the correct data to guide the fleet into the void, and those weird phenomena are just larger-scale hallucinations caused by the interaction between the fleet and the world barrier.

All that can be done now is to continue sailing and wait. It is very difficult now, but these difficulties should be listed in detail in the future in front of the people and things where they should appear and be required to be comprehensively and properly resolved, instead of letting them stay here and continue to breed negative emotions one after another.

Time has become blurred. In a chaotic environment, the system has to always calibrate the current time. However, the already chaotic status quo and the imperial existence network with increasingly low contact strength make it increasingly difficult to provide accurate base points. The system has to continuously retrieve information snapshots from redundant systems for self-inspection and proofreading. But as time goes on, all the results start to get crazier and crazier.

It's like the story itself is once again falling into a repetitive, obscure and noisy story.

"——!!"

"Confirm that the information body is approaching, identification of friend or foe... is unknown, confirm that the corresponding information body has high reality intensity!"
