Star Empire

Under the onslaught of two narrative attacks, the horrific monster shattered and disintegrated, its body fragments scattered across the many worlds controlled by the Empire. The fragments are gradually falling, and they are returning to their true "home". These consciousnesses and existence attributes that have been out of control due to excessive grief, anger and shock are returning to their original bodies.

In countless worlds and beyond, countless imperial beings slowly woke up, rubbing their sleepy eyes.

Scenes from the past, events from the past, and solidified records passed before my eyes. They are just clusters of fragments, chaotic and complicated light and shadow. In the still chaotic consciousness and blurred eyes, these fleeting messages leave no meaningful traces.

In the vast ocean, or perhaps in the starry sky, discrete points of light seem to be called upon from nothingness. They spontaneously form rules of operation, dancing wildly between the reality of consciousness and nothingness.

There seems to be a change, there seems to be no change.

In the vortex of clarity and chaos where consciousness is uncertain, countless invisible brushstrokes fly up and down, quietly writing those damaged stories, unwinding those too twisted plots, calming those too intense emotions, and comforting them. Those overly disturbing memories...

Most of them are paved by the content contained in the narrative attack itself, and some are driven by the "trends" contained in the narrative attack itself that promote the development of events and things, towards further perfection.

"The overall restoration process of the empire is in progress..." As "representatives" for collecting information, Zhai Cahir, Arcane Life IV and Field No. 1 are guarding the Lieyang City Group, which is showing simultaneous projections of countless operational details of the empire. around the facility. And in the "lower layer" of these final nodes, the radial structure is slowly extending itself. Like tentacles, they explore and devour all kinds of information scattered throughout the empire and present them to those who need them.

"The degree of recovery is steadily improving, but it will take time to be completely complete..."

"After all, this is a major event at the imperial level. Even if the current empire is small and insignificant compared to the largest period in its history, the absolute power of the empire is enough to crush an entire world branch thousands of times." Zhai Ka Hill didn't pay much attention to this. He stared at the progress bar that was slowly moving forward, just staring at it, motionless.

"I don't really believe in choice."

"……Um?"

"Life is chaotic and fickle, especially groups."

"The channels for obtaining information are not consistent between lives, and the "effective content" of the information that life can obtain is also inconsistent, making it even more difficult to understand and process information consistently. For one individual, two individuals or millions, or more For tens of millions of imperial beings, the problems caused by these information gaps may not be visible, but if placed in a group whose size is measured by yijian, the gap will be large enough to tear the group apart."

"And we all know that emergence - its final product is not controllable. Even you and I have no way to determine the results we need, to determine what will emerge if such a huge fragmented whole experiences such a stimulus without constraints... ."

"...In short, I believe more in information trends, and I believe more in the general trend."

"you……"

"I can tell what I should be doing and what I'm thinking about."

This scene is a bit strange. Rather than saying that it all happened in the current empire, it is more like slicing and taking out of context certain images from ancient times, and then projecting them across time and space.

The background fluctuations of the world, which appeared pink, now seem to be brighter than everything in the world that should have the highest weight of reality.

…

"The intuitive idea and the actual law seem to be exactly the opposite."

"Indeed. Therefore, we can only use this approach to achieve our goals - on the one hand, we shape the thinking of all managers, in this way ensuring that they can achieve their goals without spending too much energy. , being able to take full care of the multi-line instability of a responsible object as much as possible.”

"On the other hand, we directly find ways to add the information we need to the story and the reality that the story may affect, so as to ensure that our goals can develop in the direction of the "general trend" of reality as much as possible." Weiss. Ruifan said, "Some things...unless we completely change ourselves,...they cannot be changed just by virtue of good character."

"Rest, Lil, I'll do the next thing."

"Um."

…

The damaging target has now been addressed, but the chain of events itself is far from over.

The empire needs to make many changes before it can survive and operate according to new rules and new operating purposes. But it's too early to talk about this now - reality itself still has a lot of things to deal with before starting on a new path:

I'm afraid that "battlefield" has not been completely cleaned up yet. The already chaotic space-time structure has experienced narrative bombardment. Now, there should be no threats directly related to the dead tide and fracture zone. However, the possible memetic issues out there are still cause for concern. Although with the advancement of technology, the enemies behind this word that were once invisible and undetectable are no longer illusory, they have emerged from the void one after another...

However, as information viruses, being visible can only help everyone deal with them better. They are still information viruses, they still have the ability to disturb and infect objects, events and even phenomena. Their level of danger is still very high, and the energy invested in them... can be said to have only increased in this era. Although Vidoville had repeatedly asked the corresponding troops to clean up the situation countless times before he was put under house arrest, in that state, to what extent such a thing could be carried out... probably needs to be marked with many questions.

The entire empire needs a screening that starts with the existential network. The world of all meme-related storage and gnar arrays needs a complete overhaul. After the investigation is completed, these high-risk areas that bear the risk of leakage need to be monitored at all times and continue for a long time. Until the density of abnormal events recorded is lower than the average and the duration meets the new imperial standards, all this can be considered in the past.

The next problem comes from the empire's massive data that has nowhere to be placed.

They are facing serious problems from two directions - first, the empire's massive activities during this period have involved a large number of log structures. These log structures are related to those that have not dissipated and are still squeezing service resources in some areas. Data is blocked in the network structure all the time, blocking countless channels and routes.

Second... Since the empire encountered the Great Fault Zone, countless empire worlds and everything supporting them inside and outside the world have been severely damaged, and a large amount of scattered data still in the itinerary system have been burned to the ground. Their absence resulted in a loss and damage to the entire intellectual fabric of the Empire - something that would require more effort and time to repair.

Along with the data problems, there are also problems from people.

The empire has put too much power into the battlefield to fight against anomalies. Fault Zone - Great Collapse of Existential Attributes - The successive attacks of the fault zone, as well as the endless intrusion of countless catastrophic phenomena mixed in, have caused countless lives to perish here. They fell on the front line, causing huge losses in the rear. Although most departments can still maintain a minimum level of operation, the loss of so many redundant complementary personnel and their own knowledge, wisdom, and professional-oriented intuition... cannot be replaced overnight.

And... now, maybe it has just stopped deteriorating, or it may still be deteriorating... "civilizations".

The current result...its formation may be a mixture of many, many factors, including nature and destiny, as well as many mistakes, or mistakes, in the empire's decision-making in this regard.

The empire has been trying to watch from the sidelines. More specifically, the empire hopes to observe the civilizations in countless worlds in the void from the perspective of an eternal spectator.

It is precisely because of this that the empire has rarely carried out large-scale unnecessary actions or made unnecessary changes in this regard. Even if necessary, the Empire's previous actions were more inclined to achieve its goals by establishing "side passages". But...reality itself is often chaotic, not to mention that these civilizations and things involving them are also extremely fragile in addition to chaos.

When a large-scale disaster for the empire such as the Great Fault Zone breaks out, even the empire itself and local areas will fall into chaos, let alone those civilized groups that are much more fragile and loose than the empire. The vast majority of them may not even have succeeded in breaking free from the constraints of their home environment, not to mention crossing the threshold of the world.

It is worth noting that what has been observed indicates something: if civilizations are to overcome chaos in the face of disaster, they will need more than mere unity, mere nobility of character, and integrity of reason and logic. Factors such as overall knowledge, own size, etc. are also equally important.

The fact that a huge civilization can survive normally without being crushed by itself can prove that such a civilization has a stronger ability to maintain itself than groups smaller than itself. And a larger civilization will see more. When the disaster that was once abandoned because it was too far away for small civilizations is placed in front of them, the illusory doomsday that is enough to destroy the entire world will become Issues that need to be considered and faced with in practice. And at least now it seems that the cost of preparing for a rainy day is far less than making up for it afterwards.

However, this is still close to "closure".

In the face of a disaster that transcends worldviews, it may be better to add chaos to chaos. Being boiled into a pot of chaotic soup or even evaporated on the spot, leaving no trace at all, may be the "invisible normality".

This needs to change. Even if the empire still adheres to its former purpose, it must bow to the demands of reality.

…

"There can obviously be a lot of details in this. Even if only a part of it is shown, using only a few small nodes is enough for us to understand the whole thing at a glance... It's just a matter of thinking and consciousness. There are a lot of details here. What’s going on with the introduction that’s like an instruction manual, and the pile of details attached between the lines that are about to crush the bottom of the stack?”

"I don't know, maybe... everything was not arranged well enough at that time."

"There are so many problems in the old history of trillions of years ago...and to be honest, some conditions are still there now. We can only find them by looking back...We usually don't notice them."

"There is an instantaneous limit to the information that can be received, which is not entirely affected by unlimited anti-crowding requirements...too many stories are irrelevant to us. Compared with the details, framework and large number of fine print that may cause "peeping" to be distorted Stacking can help us understand the actual situation at that time... Of course, the situation may also be like this: our "upper-level narrative" entity is a piece of waste snacks, he... it... He can't handle the relationship between them, so We can only rely on the amount of information to confuse people to create ignorance.”

"...What? What entity? What kind of snack? I don't know how powerful it is... who can feel it?"

"Those who are interested in specific microscopic and chaotic particles can also select detailed rules for relative quantification... What are you talking about?"

"…strange things."

…

"Recovery" is a long process. At the same time, "recovery" cannot just rely on waiting.

There is a slightly blurry haze of light, which is approaching a branch of the world. The path of the haze points to part of the edge of the branch, and the gap in it can be seen.

Zooming in on the details of the target, you can see this scene: near the irregular fractures, there are some very bright lights flashing alternately - that is the inspired Genesis activity. The maintenance team is using the Genesis phenomenon to absorb the branches of the world. The excess information in the void interval is used, and the nodes are used to split the adhesion caused by the defect. Countless such light points are connected, just like the empire's "nerves" running through the void are conducting pulses.

Continuing to zoom in, you can see some details of the "light spots". The intact world is skipped, while the damaged world attracts some attention from the light mist mass. Part of the light mist was "adsorbed" to the world barrier, and they began to act together from inside and outside to repair these territories where information was flowing into the void.

Zoom in again, and it will be specific to one of the Jingzhao light spots, and it will be specific to a world structure with an independent number. You can notice more and more details - the light haze has become clear. They are composed of countless spaceships. These spaceships descend from the void into the interior of the world. The huge fleet matrix slowly sweeps across the uniform large-scale interior of the universe. Cloud blocks. It can be seen that the "cloud" itself is also adsorbing the elements in the fleet matrix.

Zoom in again, and you can see clearer details - near a certain planet that has undergone transformation, some ferocious black masses are being gradually dispersed by crystal energy. The battleship stayed in the distance, while groups of assault teams had been teleported to the planet and moved to the most stable place in the space structure.

They will cooperate with each other and advance towards the core of the planet - while destroying all anomalies, they are also constantly changing their operating modes and purifying all "black space" structures. In the background of the existence of the universe, there are uniform pulse flashes, which indicates that the world circuit has been completely restarted.

After that, the source of sight began to zoom out rapidly. The specific planets are integrated into small galaxy units, the galaxy units are integrated into the fusion structure, the fusion structure is integrated into the star network, and the star network is integrated into the extensive fog-like structure in the cosmic environment. The mist-like structure is transformed into specific details in a frequency through a series of transformations such as dimension, time and space, order, law and existence. Countless specific details merge into one to form long and narrow filaments. Countless filaments bloom on huge branches. , plumper and more brilliant than angel's feathers...

"Speaking of which, there are some strange phenomena and conclusions that cannot be well explained by our current theories, but they have always been used and can be used very well. For example, now, when practical teams are sent to deal with difficult targets , the possibility of success of the action is actually higher than our calculated possibility, and the overall success rate of doing so is higher than direct remote control through the system. At the same time, the height difference is already large enough that we think it is worth it Don’t abandon the former approach.”

Vidoville "stands" in front of the "eyepiece" of the huge void "telescope" and meticulously adjusts every parameter of this giant mirror. The huge "lens tube structure" rotates lightly without feeling bulky. Under the reflection of the recovering "star chain" above the blazing sun, it looks like a huge spear pointing towards the starry sky.

"It seems that the actual application effect of this experimental product is good." On the side, the Queen's figure appeared from the void, "The next step...have you decided what you are going to do?"

"Currently, the most mainstream overall decision is to... deal with all civilizations that have experienced excessive intervention and over-transformation, and use the strongest firepower to directly blow up all disturbed worlds. The entire world should try not to let the strongly disturbed world The body feels the pain of this.

After that, the Observer Council and the Joint Meeting of Heavenly Region Emperors reached an agreement. After the clearing operation was completed, the largest scale of the civilization's main axis chronology was used on a large scale for the "first time" to allow a large number of worlds that had not been disturbed by the extraordinary within one year. Enter an apocalyptic state, resetting your surroundings while recording overall long-span observations. In about fifty years, the scale will be set right again. Some people are specifically studying the time gap and cognitive fragmentation caused by this. "

"In addition, another action goal is to establish a department that can bridge the empire and ordinary civilization, and establish corresponding bridging channels. At present, the debate in this regard is not over yet and is very fierce. At present, this department It will probably end up being discrete."

"Let me remind you that we have some things to do at the moment." Vesrifan drew Vidoville's attention back from the huge telescope: "Some research believes that for the current "country name" and "national emblem" Changes should be made, for example, allowing departments or groups with authority to set it as needed within a certain range. Because "we" did this before, when we turned the "Federation" into an "Empire"."

"...Symbolic issues?" Upon hearing this request, Vidoville began to mobilize more of his thinking threads and make them operate at a high level, "Lil, what do you think?"

“I think that’s perfectly acceptable if it’s really needed – symbols are difficult to quantify precisely and are as elusive to most actual technologies as fields are to matter, but their power is tangible and cannot be ignored. "

"...I also agree that there is no problem here." Vidoville ended his deduction and calculation, "This is indeed important. And in fact, there is too much information that can be included in it. I have screened a lot of information, and most of it is..." Neither "Federation" nor "Empire" are close to the practical structures we have or are today. For us, this title is actually a relatively close vague name. There is enough flexibility for departments in need. Space. However, in actuality, it still needs to be confirmed by an actual meeting and finally passed."

"Well, that's no problem."

"Speaking of which, according to the information compiled by the Department of History, our original development process... there are many strange points." Vidoville wondered, "We have entered a federation with such density that it is not an exaggeration to say that there is only one state. , the Zerg race and another weird civilization were arranged in a universe and stayed there for tens of billions of years."

"We jump around the world in a way that is close to void navigation but cannot get out... Why do we need us, or... What do we need so many intelligent civilization groups to do? Looking at it now, what they have done is still It is far from the absolute order of magnitude required for emergence, and the price that Σ needs to pay is already much higher than what can be obtained. The development of civilization has absolute inertia, and interests are one of the focuses that can never be avoided."

"For Σ civilization...even if they, or possibly "it" did have great love, I don't quite believe that this kind of thing that has been paying a price from a macro perspective, Σ will work so hard to maintain hundreds of billions Years or longer. Although this view is very arbitrary, for the sake of our future, even if this view is one-sided, we still need to find a practical explanation in this regard that can convince us now and is timely enough."

"Perhaps the formation of all this is still related to the death tide."

"Is it related to the death tide?"
