Star Empire

"As of now... the true existence of the soul may be much broader than we imagined... Wisdom, consciousness and soul are related, but in such and such transformation processes... to what level and which level have we operated? "

…

From the appearance point of view, the Quantifiable Soul Manifestation Instrument is a larger biological culture tank with many other equipment attached to it. Based on the integration of the original soul extraction equipment, through the self-consistent data segment target Markers and stability sensors to provide accurate, quantifiable soul scans - the limit of what is possible at the current Federation level.

Although this device is still difficult to be compatible with crystal energy, it can mark the changes in the soul after contact with crystal energy radiation, as well as the stability of the spirit body level and the data level. In previous basic experiments and new With the help of the equipment, Cavinriel obtained the first stability curve that can quantify the impact of soul-crystal energy, which is enough to help current research, and is relatively accurate.

"I don't know...how long this curve can be used."

Cavinrel flipped the holographic screen in his hand and glanced around in boredom - inside the federal space building cabin. If it was a careful personal horizontal cabin, it would be almost a milky white metal room with human-adaptive lighting. These rooms occasionally have windows, and the larger halls often have some form of rib-like support structure incorporated into them.

This is a style that is still fashionable in the Federation, but at this time Cavinriel feels that these golden support structures are like the curves in his hands. Who knows when they will be completely out of use as the field of vision expands greatly. value.

"Some of this is worthy of warning - there is a research trend problem in the way the crystal energy curve appears. Some of our logic modules cannot match any damage coefficients. Some truth table damage has occurred due to the lack of judgment conditions. We should Note, we need to perform over-limit operations..."

From a linear perspective, the crystal energy (secondary crystal energy) retrieved from the crystal energy vortex through probe contamination and extracted by Eskett resonance will allow an originally stable soul to complete contact within thirty-two (32) days -Basic fusion process and eventual stabilization.

The secondary crystal energy re-infects the substance to denature it and then the action time of the stripped crystal energy (tertiary crystal energy) is reduced to twenty-one (21) days; the crystal energy that is inert again in the above way (quaternary crystal energy) ), the action period can be reduced to fifteen (15) days. If the number of inertizations is increased, the curve will be basically symmetrical before the sixth crystal energy, and before the eighth crystal energy, this fusion change can still proceed, but The curve is extremely upward.

After changing the properties of matter eight times, the crystal energy begins to reflect materiality and gradually changes into a "chaotic matter" that begins to have some physical properties, and the entropy detector can begin to act on it. In the force field environment of the basic stabilizer, chaotic matter begins to gradually transform into hydrogen gas.

Under the irradiation of crystal energy, the soul and matter will undergo corresponding changes. This is an indisputable fact, but even with better equipment, Cavinriel cannot explain the specific details and the effective process- Because no one can perform nuclear fusion on their own after being exposed to the sun. Crystal energy irradiation directly affects the soul. Although this process is simple, the effective mechanism does not correspond to the current cognitive theory at all.

However, no matter how strange the process is, he can only rely on the results. Just like the alloy material system that the Federation has eliminated for a long time, alloys have actually interspersed almost throughout the history of the Federation. In that era that is almost impossible to recall, people knew that the uniform mixing of molten metals and non-metals could greatly improve synthetic materials. properties, but all the mechanisms involved... It is true that crystallography, material properties, and the matrix to which these two subjects belong were developed to the extreme before they were finally fully explained.

Regarding the soul-crystal energy interaction curve, Cavinrel has currently summarized the following rules and possible explanations through the average recording of phenomena:

1. When the soul is transformed by four crystal energy, the transformation intensity of the crystal energy is the most suitable for the soul. When the crystal energy is inerted less times, its nature is more violent, and the soul needs a longer time to be exposed to crystal energy radiation. Then the original self-consistent stability is restored.

2. Taking the current crystal energy source sample as direct crystal energy, after eight decays, the crystal energy will begin to transform into the basic material of the real world. It is speculated that after each change of material properties, the "property of the crystal energy" intensity" will decrease. As for the changing relationship and reasons between crystal energy, chaotic matter and hydrogen, it is speculated that hydrogen, as the "first element" in this universe, has certain unique properties at the information level, and the transformation relationship is a material function relationship, which still needs to be studied in detail.

3. Different levels of crystal energy will greatly disrupt the short-range transformation of the soul. The soul's tolerance limit to crystal energy infection is that it cannot be infected by more than two (2) different levels of crystal energy at the same time, and this The difference in the number of inerting times between the two crystal energies cannot exceed one (1) time. This result is consistent with the inference reflected in the perspective records extracted from the brains of Eskett and Torres and the final result of their survival.

4. Judging from the currently preserved samples of other intelligent races (brought into the main test area of ​​the frontline base by Cavinriel after this meeting) for resurrection and replication experiments, it can be seen that the star civilization race has the highest crystal energy fusion. And the difference in results is extremely sharp.

"Is the unevenness of the world... so obvious..."

…

What happened next made Cavinriel and Kalost really relieved: Zhai Cahir's awakening.

After receiving the emergency instruction from the AI, Cavinriel almost drove the shuttle and kicked the accelerator and flew back to the frontline base.

In the laboratory of the frontline base, Cavinriel saw Zhai Cahill, whose abnormal reaction had disappeared and his consciousness had recovered. Fortunately, Zhai Cahill did not make such a big noise as the previous crystal energy contamination, which caused the emergency experimental module to be destroyed. It must be absolutely sealed, so after testing within the scope of the underlying protocol, the entrance to the emergency experimental module was reopened. However, Cavinriel also noticed that Zhai Cahir's eye color actually turned purple after the previous lavender flames receded!

"Cavenriel, how do you feel?" After the medical equipment and Eskett completed the last examination of Zhai Cahir, Cavinriel immediately stepped forward and asked.

"The feeling... can only be described as good or not good." Zhai Cahir blinked his eyes vigorously a few times. "I feel that my consciousness is very stable and my energy is very energetic, but there seems to be something wrong with my eyes."

"...I can only say intuitively that the color of your eyes has turned purple, which is visually the same color as the lavender flame that appeared near your eyes before. At present, this purple flame has not triggered the alarm— — Harmless, or outside the detection range."

Cavinriel asked, "Zhai Cahir, can you still recall the phenomena before your condition? Were you conscious when you were in a coma? You said there was something wrong with your eyes, what kind of problem was it?"

"...Let me recall..." Zhai Cahir rubbed his eyes and shook his head vigorously, as if to drive away the dizziness, "After I leave you, I plan to try to compare the information computers at the frontline base. Energy sample, after I learned that your idea was finally successful, I developed an obsession and wanted to see clearly the structure of the unified information to understand the information changes of everything. However, when I appeared here Sometime after this obsession, my vision began to blur, a strong burning sensation began to appear around my eyes, and after self-isolation, I lost consciousness."

After a slight pause, Zhai Cahir continued to describe his feeling: "In the coma, I did not completely lose all consciousness, but at the same time I also felt pain on the soul level, but the intensity was not too noble and tolerable. Then the pain gradually lessened, and I began to feel a sense of superiority over all things. After I woke up, I found that all the objects in my field of vision had changed. It is difficult for me to describe this perspective. In my opinion, the world is... a string of things. Okay, it’s as if the whole world is made up of countless overlapping lines???”

"Oh, I thought you...wait, what did you say??" Cavinriel rushed forward, "The stacking of lines...connects events?"

"I personally think so. I can see the flow of biomass and energy in your body, and some of the... sources that drive these flows. In my opinion, it's like the entire world has been... digitized. .”

"This is the most precious icing on the cake!" Cavinriel excitedly took Zhai Cahir's hand, "Can you share this ability?"

"If there is a suitable translation... maybe. I find this perspective difficult to describe in words, but in my eyes, everything can be reflected in the original way, and it can also be reflected in my eyes in the form of data and information. unfolding in front of me... I can interpret the data and mapping of everything from my field of vision, and I can see the impact on each other. This is the main thing that I can't describe..."

Zhai Cahir paused from time to time, and others who could understand the deep meaning of these things were also listening quietly - to describe a brand new feeling and language that no one has ever understood. Even sensory synchronization may not fully express the feelings of the first owner.

"It is not a simple superposition method, where the information perspective and the reality perspective are put together like adding a filter, but a... it can be said to be a higher level perspective for the time being. I saw an object. For many of its properties, such as size, hardness, composition, and other properties that originally needed to be detected by other means, they can be directly seen with the eyes like shape, and I can use federal standard units to describe them. In addition, there are more There is a lot of content, and I need to slowly adapt to it before I can further describe it more clearly."

"In addition... let me say it again, I am just explaining it from the theories I can think of... I cannot guarantee how much the federal equipment can understand and how much it is compatible with the sudden changes I have undergone..."

"Oh, that's really a pity. This ability is like a golden finger for current research." Cavernrel shrugged regretfully, "But it's really a coincidence that just before you woke up, subjective The inherent operating laws of objective matter created by will and subjective will have a reverse influence on the objective matter itself, which is still part of the theoretical value."

"It seems to be true... Well, I have seen the results of your theory... It seems that compared to other intelligent races in the past, we are indeed unique in some aspects... Ah, yes, our civilization is very ancient... maybe …”

"No, it's nothing..." Zhai Cahir shook his head, "Now that I have the ability, I can do my best to help you."

"Well, it seems that this is the best for now." Cavinriel pulled Zhai Cahir up from the chair, "For you to obtain this ability, you plan to use a more accurate way to generate results. Analysis?"

"certainly."

===============

The new material testing site in the closed area, inside the star corona stage, and the information computer secondary host connection cabin.

Information computers can be updated, but one thing is that they must be made using original materials. The source of this material with unique disturbance properties is the remains of the original site after the explosion of the gravitational wave shock super accelerator. This cannot be replicated at all, and this is also a limitation. The main reason for the number of information computers is that if this kind of material could be popularized, the information collection network would have been arranged at the personal level long before Vidoville and Vesrifan came to power.

Inside the spacecraft, the vast cabin is occupied by large computers and their power supply equipment and output terminals. What Zhai Cahill wants to test this time is a relatively common information perturbation material. : Energy guiding tube.

Looking at the computer starting to operate, Zhai Cahir's eyes gradually became serious. However, Cavinriel did not have this kind of perception, so he could only do other things first and wait for the results.

After a while, the door of Cavinrel's studio was opened, and Zhai Cahir walked in, holding a smooth opaque crystal in his hand.

"The disturbance has been completed. This is caused by the mutation of the energy pipeline of the information computer. I have done tests. The main properties are similar to the energy guide tubes produced in the early stages...the influence of the existence of a certain first stable state...seems to have the same meaning. There is a connection to giving.”

"What about the process of change?"

"I can only give a general description." Zhai Cahill said, "After the information computer starts running, its basic data structure is not much different from the ordinary computer in the control group, but during the running process, it will start to continuously release A kind of lavender ripple, which is seen from an information perspective rather than an optical perspective. I think that may be another first stable state of information contained in information computers, and it is also the true form of "information disturbance."

"After this kind of ripple swept through the surrounding environment again and again, under the influence of this fluctuation, part of the information structure of the energy guide tube that supplies power to the computer began to be reorganized, and part of the purple ripple also disappeared after contacting the original energy supply pipe. Disappeared. During this process, much of the property information of the energy supply pipeline was constantly changing, and eventually formed this alienated new system, which has strong affinity and conductivity for all energy, but very fragile physical properties. Material."

"Is this kind of fluctuation released evenly?" After listening to Zhai Cahir's conclusion, Cavinriel immediately asked.

"Yes, even release."

"If it is released uniformly, then why do the cabin walls and other materials in the installation area of ​​the information computers not undergo such obvious changes... Could it be that the directionality of that existence is so strong..."

"It should be the meaning we give and our thoughts, or it may be that the advanced intelligent activities of us intelligent creatures are very directional. Intelligent creatures are actually very strong sources of information generation. We can even do the opposite sometimes. Entropy – only the fundamental forces and branches of dark matter in nature can do this.”

"Incredible..." Cavenriel shook his head, "It's another new branch of research... Zhai Cahill, how do you plan to name this first stable state information that has not yet been clarified but whose existence is basically certain? "

"Arcane."

"What? Why?"

"The history of the information collection network is not short, and I have managed it for a long time. In the data flow of this huge network, I can arbitrarily retrieve information that meets my authority. I have to say that even now, we still Literature exists, and it is a blessing to the culture and its citizens that imagination and literature still exist despite having such high technology compared to ancient times.”

"I know this part too, but what does this have to do with you naming this new "energy" arcane?"

"The source of ideas for magical literature." Zhai Cahill activated a holographic screen, which sequentially displayed the greatest magical fantasy books in various eras, from physical paper books to convenient brain coexistence memories. There are various ways of existence. In these works, there is a kind of energy with similar properties, which can be used by magicians or magic tools. Magicians can control the ubiquitous energy according to their own spiritual thoughts. , and use runes or magic circles for auxiliary control and ultimately create countless uses. This process is quite similar to our process of making energy tubes, and what’s even more coincidental is that although the properties of pure arcane energy described in the works are different, there is a little coincidence: the color of pure arcane energy is purple. . "

"I really haven't noticed this... The results of these two fields that are hugely different can have such amazing similarities, even spanning history... It has to be said..." Cavinrel's original excitement suddenly suddenly It suddenly faded away and was replaced by seriousness and thoughtfulness: "Coexistence, spanning history."

"What's wrong?" Zhai Cahir asked.

"Think about it, from planetary civilization to us all over the stars, do the authors of every era know that there really is such a thing?"

"Of course not. The greatness of these literary works lies mostly in their writing style, plots, characterization of tasks, and thoughts that the authors want to reflect. The actual reference is quite limited."

"Well, you should also know that the culture of the Federation has always advocated opening up new ideas and fields. Logically speaking, the authors of these works are great writers and thinkers, and there may even be experts in other fields. Judging from the works Look, their thoughts and understandings are different, and their writing perspectives are also very different, but why do they use the same descriptions on the nature of arcane energy, and most importantly, these descriptions are still consistent with our current Found a match?"

Hearing Cavinriel's words, Zhai Cahill also fell silent. If it is a coincidence, so many coincidences in tens of billions of years have still led to the correct result by mistake? After a moment of silence, he suddenly thought of something, "You mean...?"

"The source of the grand unified theory of information." Cavernelle said seriously.

"The history of science that we can filter out shows that the grand unified theory of information suddenly appeared from a group of scientists a billion or more years ago without any reason, and those scientists did not have any theoretical basis for it. This theory has been studied for a long time, so that most of our current work is to prove that, so long ago, there was no theoretical basis, but they could create a self-consistent and A theory that’s still proven?”

After saying that, both of them fell silent.

"This is also the part that has been recovered and preserved. Many memories have been lost, and the parts that can be recalled are particularly important - they are. In that era, with the level and power of that era, there was no more that could be guessed. Where to point the finger.”

The nature of arcane energy, the original source of the unified theory of information.

It is certain that no one in those eras would have any idea of ​​the true outcome now, but in those different eras, many entities that should have been different could be unified and describe the final correct outcome.

Relying directly on certain specific properties of super-order existence that have never existed in the cognitive system, these sourceless conjectures are still correct after crossing history.

What kind of coincidence could this be?
