Star Empire

Yes, everyone knows this situation at this time, and this really needs to be slowly changed.

Even if technology becomes weakened due to changes, technology is still too aloof in civilization compared to other parts of civilization. The current empire still looks like high-tech primitive people, but these primitive people can build, use, and repair those terrible big things.

Everything that matches the technology still takes time to build, and it also requires more long-term accumulation.

In the void, the artillery fire of the expedition fleet was boiling.

Countless battleships have established complex but clear and strong connections with each other, and these connections weave the battleship group into a glorious matrix.

Huge transparent walls shelter the breathing Matrix. On the wall, there is an array of thousands of endlessly extending golden-red light pillars. There are various clearly visible waves of gain information formed by different ripples that continuously sweep across the fleet and every point of existence. There are countless "little suns" in the constantly beating field of life.

These suns condensed from the structure of the Union Shield itself and rose outward. When the trend reaches the corresponding limit, these suns composed of extraordinary information will be transformed into the attack mode required by the warships that give these suns their "existence" - any mode will do, for high-intensity point-killing of small targets, For chain bombing or diffusive shock waves on large-scale targets, the binding blade needed to separate connections...

Until all battleships using homogeneous information create conditions for each other, form complete connections with each other, and release a resonant range attack equivalent to the matrix interval, which may be enough to eclipse the span of billions of light years...

"The response speed meets the existing needs, but under the premise of advancing the overall progress, the fleet response will still fall behind the schedule. Record it and use it as a future research target..."

"The attack pattern standard style library is being further expanded. On this basis, the establishment of a standard style emergency selection mechanism and a standard style adjustment formula set should be accelerated..."

The fleet relied on the original world structure and used the unfolded world barrier as a base to support the vast joint order field in the void. The fleet matrix relied on this magnificent order field to establish a solid position to fight against the "breath" of corruption and the indescribable decaying world structure that was raging in the distance.

The nature of the target has been initially determined by the void survey radar and the special very high frequency non-linear scanning radar, and after careful investigation by the detection array dispatched by the fleet and specially used for the detection of highly polluting dangerous targets, it has become absolutely clear - they are fractures. A zone is a type of fault zone that has properties such as diffusion and spreadability.

The Imperial fleet dropped countless, specially designed and powerful isolation beacons on the edge of the fault zone. These beacons have powerful guidance capabilities - after the target is anchored, they are strong enough to help the Imperial fleet far away from the main battlefield lock on the target and deliver firepower across the long void.

Before all of this begins, some of the results that can be shown in another operation are applied here - the fleet expands the maximum relative scale, which makes the main position and the main battlefield possible to affect almost all "normal worlds" Entering an apocalyptic state in less than a year. The observation of weak disturbances in those worlds also shows that after their process from birth to death was greatly accelerated, natural disasters from outside the world did not affect the tranquility before and after their demise.

"It can be confirmed that this is an effective solution - for this intensity and the world below this intensity, the approach of accelerating evolution and making it enter the doomsday state in advance... is our current "best solution" The best choice."

"The processing system will be further improved. After that, specific processing methods for a world with a more complex structure and a higher degree of information activation will also begin to be selected and demonstrated..."

This information is relayed back to headquarters and repositories, where it is needed, and where it is needed it is used as a basis for reference and further development of information operations that can be exploited by Imperial beings. Way.

In the distance, on the highly active dark surface attached to countless stars that shine brightly in the void, there are countless "gunfires" that cross the boundaries of time and space. They scrape away chunks of skin, destroying nodes that beat like a heart out of control.

The firepower delivered by the fleet will destroy the outer parts that provide power to the fault zone, but some of them will seize the opportunity-they will penetrate the fleeting hyperspace portals that unfold within the fault zone and fill it with corruption. The interior of the fault zone lights up with breath, turbid space and time, dark clouds and mist, and cracking lightning.

When attacking the fracture zone, no matter what kind of extraordinary firepower it is, there is no need to make too detailed adjustments. All that is needed is to deliver firepower quickly enough and on a terrifying scale. When these firepowers enter the interior of the fault zone, they will quickly engulf and assimilate the surrounding space-time structure that has not completely rotted away.

In a dead tide environment, they will "fail" faster. However, even so, the purpose has been achieved - the environment inside the fault zone itself will amplify any damage and collapse, and the "power" of these artillery fires can be multiplied in this unstable environment. Behind the enhanced destruction, the fault zone environment itself... will also expand more effects.

When the inside is "stinged", the activated "world consciousness" may sense it and try to "repair" it. But decay and destruction will crazily increase all destruction and loss of control - if everything here is regarded as a person, then after this person is "grazed" on the arm by gunfire, he may want to try to heal the pain here, but Finally, he rubbed every inch of skin and flesh on his arm into fragmented strips, and finally twisted off his entire arm.

However, no matter how powerful and terrifying these violent shock waves are, it doesn't matter even if they tear apart the world barrier and form a physical high-danger jet - the fault zone is far away from the empire and far away from the position of the fleet. In this case, the fracture zone jets are not strong enough to destroy the fleet directly along the correlation, nor do they have the ability to span the distant void. And with the completion of "Strong Walls and Clear Fields", it is difficult for them to threaten any ordinary world - most of them are destined to disappear into the void.

…

"They're doing a great job."

"Yes, dare to think and do it."

"Lil, how is your plan going?"

"We have had in-depth discussions with all emperor-level individuals and the auxiliary teams synchronized with them. At present, most of all the negotiation goals have reached a consensus. Considering that this will be a process that runs through the entire empire, a part of the past, and For all the huge plans now and in the future, we need huge power to execute them, and there can be no slack - if we make mistakes in this regard, the foundation of the entire empire may be affected."

"A grand plan. If it were me... I might be able to preside over it, but my consciousness may not be calm for a long time. Everything in reality... forget it, this is my problem."

"Wood, how is your plan being implemented?" Lieyang on the other side did not continue this topic - the first step to change a stubborn mentality that is not worth retaining is not to comfort and repeat over and over again, but to stop. , change and forgetting. At this point, switching may be the best thing to do.

"We already have a preliminary model and are conducting operational deductions and detailed debugging." Vidoville replied, "We have found enough volunteers to participate in the experiment. On the one hand, we need to determine what will happen to the captured target. reaction; on the other hand, we also need to determine whether this "hook" can catch the target we need. After all, the empire is now "expanded"..." Vidoville organized the meaning of what he needed, and then, He continued:

"The current empire no longer needs to transmit information upwards layer by layer according to the ladder structure as before, and since the "dispersion" approach has affected the structure of the empire to a certain extent, we can no longer receive the overall information as before. Yes. Although according to the agreement, the separated layers and departments will submit part of the integrated information in accordance with the rules, but this information..."

"They may be one-sided, and at the same time, the "angle" they correspond to may not be what we need - they are not in our position, not at our level, and even if they want to understand us, it may be difficult. After all, completing such The conversion process required by requirements is very cumbersome, and some parts of it may not be easily [quantified].”

"So, while passively harvesting information, we also need an active information acquisition channel to help us understand the overall situation." Vidoville said. "But we can't directly patrol and swallow all the information. That's not possible. Therefore, we need an algorithm, an algorithm that can help us capture effective information and reflect the overall properties with fewer samples. And The physical structure on which this algorithm is applied is the leapfrog tree - it is currently being tested."

"Triple information capture measures?" Weisruifan tilted his head. Of course, this action will not be noticed by Vidoville, who is separated by who knows how many layers of world barriers: "After the establishment of this important measure, coupled with the previous active information reporting from the lower levels and our ability to watch from a relatively objective high position, The "third perspective" of the entire empire, we can actually say that there are three ways to obtain information about the entire empire."

"Three... In short, after the new information capture system matures and enters practical application, it can complement the other two." Vidoville was stunned for a moment, "Capture from top to bottom and enrich from bottom to top. can complement each other, and the sum of these two methods can complement the perspective of gaze formed by our special power... Of course, this is theoretical now. Since "we" and the entire empire are so different from each other, this sampling system must It takes a long, long time to get it to be accurate enough."

"Indeed, the gap exists in all aspects." Weisrifan agreed with this. Perhaps it can be said that in the entire empire, she is the one who feels this most clearly.

"... By the way, Lil, have you ever considered... buying a home, a... more specific home?"

"...Why do you say that suddenly?"

"... After all, the matter is not a big deal, and it is a topic that can be started at any time. The difference in feeling in this issue is compared with... the past a long time ago. Lil, you see, now we can use the empire composed of countless worlds as our Home, on a smaller scale, I can use a battleship as my home, Lil, you can use the blazing sun to do this, but... they all seem too "big"."

"If you look at it from this perspective, it may indeed be worth considering..."

…

"Your Majesty Vidoville, the leapfrogging tree project involves some other problems. The [pure entity response speed] of the entity database and their ancillary structures is lower than our expected bottom line and lower than the corresponding imperial standard."

"Pure physical reaction speed?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. If all additional attributes from the system are removed, their own functions are already below the empire's bottom line." The research participants connected to Vidoville's consciousness activated a series of models and presented them to Vidoville. Dowell: "If it is compatible with narrative technology and existential technology, which are technological systems that have higher efficiency but also have higher [entry barriers], then the efficiency of this system is in line with the empire's standards."

"If they are further optimized, they can even be consistent with the application spirit of unlimited anti-crowding plans. But if they are removed and the device's own capabilities are strictly used, their efficiency may slip to a very high degree."

"There is a mismatch between the tools we use and the level of our physical being to judge within this fact."

"It makes sense. In fact..." Victorville paused for a while, "This can be regarded as a tacit secret."

"His Majesty?"

"Everyone knows that everything in the empire itself exists as a combination of many systems. Our equipment exists as a node in this system..."

"This system not only contains equipment, it also contains all fields, domain influences, etc. Even... trends caused by symbolic and historical traces, they may also be part of this system, when the system is operating Effective."

"At the same time, the existence and maintenance of the system are very important. They are also one of the main reasons why the empire was not directly destroyed after the empire suffered a large-scale collapse of its existence attributes. Although our [body] is weakened, the weakened parts can be affected by Make up for it in other ways. So we can still operate."

"...But Your Majesty, the premise of all you said is that the system must exist completely. If we lose the existing environment and the existing system, then our equipment will be dragged down by itself!"

"Yes - so the goal of improving the performance of the devices themselves to the point where they can use their fingers is still there. However, we also need to admit the reality of the problem - this change cannot be completed overnight, It cannot be accomplished by filling in or making up for the shortcomings or shortcomings in a certain aspect. Solving them requires a lot of time and a lot of processes... We must coexist with them for a long time."

"We need to admit that it is important to ensure that nodes and monomers can maintain their original performance and functions after leaving the system, but it is equally important to acknowledge the current situation... I hope that this tacit secret can continue to remain in They rely on themselves to discover them within the crowd without spreading out.”

"……yes."

"What am I talking about...? How do you feel..." At some point after the communication ended, Victorville suddenly felt that his memories and words seemed to be full of chaos. But the meaning he wanted to express seemed to have slipped through his fingers.

"...Is it because I express too little face to face that I stutter my words? I have been alone for too long, or I have put myself on the "mountaintop" for too long, so that I need to talk to specific people and specific people. When you express your feelings in detail, you no longer know what to say?"

Vidoville frowned, and as some indescribable trance dissipated again, all this still failed to attract much attention.
