Star Empire

Chapter 359 “Reflow”

"We do need to do this. While breaking up, we also need to leave more...but after this, there will be more new difficulties."

"Demands will become more complex, attitudes will vary, competition will be enough to form a spiral, differences will become more obvious, and contradictions will become further and deeper on many levels."

"The darkness behind these contradictions... we may not have experienced it yet, or maybe we have already experienced it, but other factors have just suppressed them. But they have always existed. If they completely break out, the intensity of these contents and their The possible consequences are not something we can easily imagine and control, and the gap is extremely huge." Vidoville retrieved a large number of fragments stored in his memory, which were derived from the intermittent records of the Observer Council over a long period of time.

However, even these incomplete "fragments", the information they can contain and the concepts they can reveal are shocking enough, and perhaps... enough to pose a threat to the empire.

The countless fragments record the various situations faced by countless individuals within countless civilizations, as well as the various choices "they" have made.

"What is certain is that many civilizations and many groups that have emerged with wisdom will take many wrong paths in the process of forming social structures and starting to develop themselves. There will be many, many choices that are surprising to us but are still good for themselves. There is enough meaning. Maintaining the operation and advancement of the group requires not only efficiency, but also the search for various meanings, and "checks and balances" and "stability."

"A group is not a complete iron plate that is completely unified and can coordinate everything on its own. In this, individuals also need to strive for necessary and more necessary...benefits for themselves."

"The daily activities of countless lives in the empire will release a large amount of information disturbance. These disturbances can be organized into stories. Although many of these stories are not exactly the same in basis and nature as the corresponding stories in those fragments, they can all be developed. Similar results…”

"According to the existing records and inspections, there is actually a more dangerous part - many conflicts are no longer centered on reconciled interests, and they may have been transferred to many irreconcilable contradictions and oppositions. If it is allowed to develop, it is likely to lead to huge confrontation, and even the entire empire may be torn apart..."

"The possibility of them happening is very high - as the largest and most profound information body in the empire, we ourselves have considerable influence and considerable power. In the face of changes, in the face of these potentially far-reaching contents, Our every word, deed, and even the birth and death of our thoughts may lead to amplification of influence and disturbance..."

"These problems are serious and important. They involve all aspects, must be given great attention, and should..." Vidoville did not seem to notice that his "self-talk" seemed to be out of control. And Weisrifan who was beside him didn't stop him and just continued to listen to him.

"...In short, we need to be sufficiently prepared for this - taking the emergence of creatures in the empire this time as the starting point, we need to make adjustments to the entire empire, overall, at the narrative level. In the past, there have been many levels of secrecy Higher-level reports have revealed many unstable events and unstable individuals. Their instability is close to this level to a considerable extent. It may be that the relevant factors have already existed..."

"It is certain that starting from us, we cannot change all individuals specifically and accurately, but we can influence and interfere with the direction of the entire empire and some development trends to a certain extent."

"But we must also ensure that the branches derived from the development process are not directly erased. They are usually intertwined and integrated with each other to finally form a whole. What should be done is to make it better integrated into the entire group, among other things. Many parts should..."

"fine."

"What do we need first...?"

"It's good. Say it this way and do this. This will solve the problem."

"Ah, this..." Faced with Weisrifan's sudden emotion, Vidoville was speechless for a moment, but it seemed that soon, a familiar but extremely disgusting feeling came to his heart again - once What happened to myself and what happened to the former empire?

Although it was different from now, it seems now that there were many problems at that time, some unnecessary out-of-control, some unnecessary orders and other things...their existence seems to make my memory a little burnt. It hurts, the past seems to be a little blurry again, and my doubts are rising again...

We should not judge the past harshly based on the present and the future, nor should we arbitrarily change the corresponding environment and related foundations, nor should we arbitrarily deny the differences in trends and developments. The term "general trend" may not necessarily represent the absolute direction, but its own constraints are still strong. A lot of it shouldn’t be, but…

"The problem exists, it does exist, and it has always existed. But now we are unable to deal with it, and we have not discovered its real traces, so there is no need for us to sacrifice our lives to forever deal with a problem that we cannot figure out. . It is enough to set up defenses in possible directions, capture the possibilities and prepare gradually." Vesrifan stopped him, and at the same time, Vidoville felt that the sunshine around him seemed to be "warmer" Some.

"...After all, they are still "people", and the presentation of this "person" here is actually not..."

"That's enough..." Weisrifan said softly, "I like complexity and simplicity, and I also like practicality - now, our empire is becoming more practical - I prefer this."

"From a long time ago... I don't know whether my memories are accurate. If they can roughly correspond to the restored records given by the Department of History, then I think my memories are roughly accurate." Wei Ruifan suddenly started talking. , "Since the collapse of the ancient home universe, until now... In my feeling, there is a large section of "alternative reality". It can be said that such "alternative reality" has been around since the first generation of "Ark" Start before sailing..."

"Before the Ark set sail, only part of the Federation came into view. At that time, the Σ facilities in the home world may still be in effect. Everything in the border isolation zone and outside the zone - they began to operate outside the rules, and the background environment The actual frontier seems to have become a big pocket, and we are disconnected from the entire system, and we have severed ourselves and some other components from the complete system.”

"After that, it can be said that our compatriots have used crystal energy to realize many possibilities that have never been realized before. But the speed at which crystal energy is integrated into our structural system is too fast - according to current research, whether crystal energy can be used It itself represents a very high threshold.”

"In the early days of exile history, these problems were squeezed by direct survival, and they were not obvious. However, if the "actual decline" is taken into account, it can actually be considered that civilization was extremely close to the final threshold of extinction. At that time, Rather than managing civilization, we are really just managing a group of fugitives who escaped from the ruins... Looking at that period of history now... it is tragic enough, but there are too many parts of it that have been Without participants, most of the millennia were a bit lackluster.”

"If I think about it now, what is my most profound memory of the era after that, the answer I might give is that "resource paranoia" has been discovered and can be initially sorted out." Speaking of which, Victor The female figure in front of Veer smiled.

"Actually, the senses have not always been like this. At that time, I was also happy with the countless achievements and continuous breakthroughs, and proud of those who worked hard to promote technological progress. But looking back on the past... I can see some other contents, which may only be visible at this moment, and the feeling may be different at the next moment, but I think they all have value."

"Crystal energy, arcane magic, and white matter are the "three major bloods" of the current empire. They and their various variants are enough to maintain the existence of the entire empire and promote the progress of the entire empire. They already existed at that time, and they have already That can be achieved as well.”

"But at that time, as they can be obtained without restriction from what we think of as the "void", and they can be manipulated and transformed at will to form everything we need, they can even be directly used to synthesize life. , while they pushed the empire forward, they also tore a huge gap in the empire’s development line as a whole - at that time, we thought that everything could be obtained at will, and everything could be created out of thin air.”

"Any problem can be solved by Jingneng. If it cannot be solved, it is just because there are not enough resources invested. We no longer need to specifically consider what consequences a certain problem may have, and we do not need to consider how the consequences should be apportioned and how. The responsibility, how to make amends and recovery, and the numerous issues surrounding the survival of the nation and the operation of the country that may be involved in this consequence no longer need to be given detailed consideration.”

"We believe that "loss" will almost never occur, whether it is equipment, data, or lives. Before and after that, we believe that civilization is a tough whole, and no matter what part of this tough whole is damaged, we can survive it. Make up for it a hundred times."

"After that, the problem began to become complicated, and it can even be said to be...out of control. Interaction and communication almost ceased to exist. The entire empire merged in chaos, wandering in chaos for half of our history..."

"It is undeniable that the empire at that time was extremely powerful. I relied on this body and this certain consciousness to see the end of that era with my own eyes. I agree with this, but for "life", "vitality" and "positivity" In other words, the empire at that time was too cold and too intimidating."

"Simply having strong military power does not mean that it is wrong, but I think if it corresponds to everything we have experienced, everything we have thought about, recorded, and the various revelations Σ has for us... then it may indeed be a somewhat... A path that deviates from the "atmosphere of life" and deviates from the specific manifestations and specific phenomena corresponding to the "positive" that may exist in this general environment and is recognized by order and life..."

Vidoville waited quietly, listening to the Queen's words and feeling the thoughts within them. In front of him, the queen's long hair remained like a waterfall of platinum silk. Under the sunlight, the golden lines on the long clothes shine brightly.

"Now, life is expanding again, and with the collapse of empires leading to a decline in technology, we need to spend more energy sorting everything out, thinking about everything, and learning how to deal with problems again."

"Actually, in the past years of this new era, our scholars have indeed done a lot and put in a lot of effort... But if we really want to compare the current efforts with the huge and perfect whole of the past, then Now everyone and what we have done is actually far from enough..."

"But I don't think there's anything wrong with that."

"Ah... Indeed, in fact, many of the things we have done in the past years are not so much hoping that they will achieve the actual effect they were supposed to achieve, but rather hoping that they can lead the development of the empire to a certain direction. Normal paths, they were used as 'rituals' for the empire to wish itself normal development."

"They themselves are the foundation, and at this moment, everything inside and outside reality is also undergoing basic changes. How to ensure that they are correct, covariant, and mature with each other? Use them directly to make Adequate results were not the intention, the first intention was restoration, the second one was... the hope that development would take place on its own, the tree needed to be able to grow to full bloom on its own.”

Vidoville said, "There is no hope that they will have direct and comprehensive clarity... I just hope that these traces scattered everywhere can add to the integrity of the empire in the future."

"Yes, and... what makes me most happy now is that we are able to give relatively detailed and complete solutions to specific problems - not purely relying on managers, not purely in line with the empire Not everything in the pyramid is absolutely in order, but it does have room for self-development, self-understanding and self-correction models, and... these are completed by the beings who are "living"."

"There are no longer purely military problems, nor do we need to rely on countless puppets and evolutionary matrices. This means that when we encounter problems, we will no longer use huge amounts of empty resources or use our entire body to solve them. "Prevarication" is used to overcome reality itself. Problems are raised, solved, and projected onto reality..."

"The empire will no longer be a false, highly integrated, chaotic whole that its rulers consider to be a chaotic whole where only numerical fluctuations are needed to solve problems. The empire should not be such an existence... nor should we label it so directly. Label……"

"We may not be able to directly participate in the specific solution process of all the problems due to our own particularity. We may also be unable to deal with those specific details personally because of factors such as our own position, our own ideas, our own power disturbances, etc. to solve those specific problems. We may not be able to “see” them directly either.”

"But now we know that the Empire is regaining this trend, and we will maintain this trend by necessary means until it is no longer needed. The Empire is no longer relying on resources and power to override the basis of the existence of ordinary people. The empty existence above, the pavilion above the empty senses, it can sink.”

"This process will not be smooth sailing, and such a scene will not last forever. The existence of problems can inspire us, and problems need to be solved, but problems should not exist for the sake of existence, and problems should not be created for the sake of having problems. In the distant future In the future, we may return to, or even surpass, that previous peak. The problems may disappear again, and we will rise again. But, next time, we will rely on our own strength to do...all that."
