Star Empire

Origin year 35 478 364 284, February 24, 11 o'clock, 30 minutes, 0 seconds, DH-33 Triangular Constellation, the Federation's Territory Operations and Management Center, the main venue of the Odosil Grand Council.

The overall launch time of the physical parliament this time is much earlier than before.

A few months ago, the number of ships entering and exiting several large military ports such as ML-01, ML-07, and ML-09 began to increase suddenly. The Star Federation fleet, which had been dormant for a long time, began to quietly become active. From a certain day , every day a fleet mainly composed of Taloga class, equipped with Goddess Bee class engineering ships, Silence class assault frigates and additional space penetration combat teams left the port.

They are constantly jumping in the Federation's huge space vibration node network, heading towards the splendid hinterland of the starry universe, and their route points to several constellations such as DH-29 to DH-34, as well as their corresponding entire sky. district.

In those places, there are departmental headquarters that are related to the exchange of matter in the universe, including commerce, mining, transportation, and other areas of the Federation that require a large number of enhanced humans to control. In order to reduce the impact within a logical range, these military units The operation is relatively secretive.

Their role is, as Weisrifan mentioned before, to provide security protection and stability maintenance when excessive news changes impact the overall operation of these departments.

"Although it is called the Federation of Stars, on the whole, the significance of the federation is more reflected in the cultural differences formed in different regions under different environments during the long history and long-term expansion process, that is, cultural autonomous regions . But apart from these contents, the technical system and the common civilization blood unite the entire civilization into a relatively unified existence. It’s really strange, why does this country feel a little strange from here?”

In the holographic projection of the universe in front of Vidoville, more and more radial lines are gradually disappearing from the star map - the fleet is already in place.

"I hope the fleet that has been "cold treated" for a long time has not forgotten what they should do."

In the grand hall that descended step by step, the federal parliamentarians had prepared for the meeting early. In the middle of the venue, there was a crackle of electric light in the original space, and a translucent polyhedron loomed from It gradually became clear in the fog formed by the strange light.

After the "Arbiter" supercomputer was put in place, the other two people with the highest authority in the federation also appeared.

"...First of all, this is not a meeting, but an assembly; this time is not an issue, but an order." After the reorganization was completed, Weisrifan's first words attracted the attention of all the members present, but they were still Before she could whisper, she immediately revealed all the explosive news without any buffer or scruple:

"Since the golden vortex in the third hexagram of the federal universe appeared, our scientists have been exploring the cause of this event. Today, I will announce the nature and impact of this event: the unified theory of information has been confirmed. , all scientific systems in the Federation will be rewritten based on this."

"The unified theory of information? What is that?" "I have heard of this theory, but it seems that this theory was once criticized as a delusional theory..." "If the basic theoretical system is directly replaced, then the entire society will be in turmoil, right?"

"——I asked why some scientists' research projects recently have nothing to do with information, but they have taken a completely different path from the past..."

Taking advantage of the pause left by Weisrifan, the congressmen started talking to each other. The venue that originally looked like a statue made of gold and silver suddenly became crowded with people. From a distance, it looked like a pot of boiling porridge.

"Quiet!" Weisruifan tapped his foot lightly, and an invisible ripple swept across the entire venue in an instant, and the originally noisy conference hall became quiet again. "There will be plenty of time for you to discuss in the future!"

"This theory was not confirmed yesterday. Before today, there was enough time for our pioneering scholars and their teams to verify the necessary parts. Now, we have confirmed that the content related to the unification of information meets the definition of the theory. And we have prepared a new replacement material for the basic theoretical system.”

"After the meeting, the arbiter computer will synchronize the data packets to everyone through the information collection network, and will select some parts according to the pre-calculated citizen acceptance level for broadcast throughout the universe. Please all personnel return to their main work immediately after the meeting. position to help the entire federation go through the running-in period with the new theoretical system!"

After Weisrifan finished speaking, he took a step back with his right foot. Vidoville added the last words: "Please pay attention to all senior officials in the federation. This update of the knowledge system is different from the previous one. It will even directly Rewriting all the accumulation left by 35 billion years of history, the Federation has been at a stalemate at the current level for too long, which is both an opportunity and a shock. Everyone is asked to return to work immediately after the meeting, and first try to maintain the normal operation of their departments, especially In departments related to material exchange, the federal army has taken necessary measures to maintain the overall stability of the federation."

"This knowledge update proposal is related to the national situation. With the special promotion authority during the consul's term, it is announced that this proposal can be passed directly without voting!"

Everyone present looked at each other at a loss as they watched the two consuls disappear like wind after some fierce words. However, this embarrassing state did not last long, because according to the advancement order, the arbiter's computer sent a group of data packets. They have been completely stunned.

Vidoville and Vesrifan dare not say what they think of this new knowledge system that was once considered a utopian theory but has now become a basic science. However, they still know one thing: after the meeting, more than 100% The mental stability of the ninety-nine members has begun to approach the warning threshold.

After the end of what was probably the shortest annual council meeting in the history of the Council of Aldosil, an appropriately revised announcement based on the speeches of the two Archons was issued under the network control of the Arbiter Computer and Zhai Cahir. The broadcast was broadcast to the entire universe. Except for those in the blocked area that were too close to the areas where the crystal energy vortex interference was really strong, everyone simultaneously received this announcement about the update of the basic knowledge theoretical system and the " Exclusive information package".

The federation needs to be calm and stable, and everyone has complied with it; the federation needs to be efficient and reasonable, and everyone is working towards this goal; the federation needs to care about everyone's attitude, and needs to give reasonable explanations when appropriate. This is how the parliament Done……

It's just that one stone stirs up a thousand waves.

Led by a few people, the weakest indirect impact does not cover hundreds of thousands of people, and the results have shaken up this huge country.

Before that, the entire country looked like a curtain without any sense of existence. Even the Odosil Parliament was full of illusions and coldness.

Where is that huge federation? Why is this happening?

Small doubts surfaced in some network nodes, but they quickly disappeared under the impact of the current of thought.

The world began to change.

…

"Out of control alarm... Threshold exceeded... Node alarm... Restriction code failed, major errors occurred in omnidirectional logic and world line control, old world line self-consistency index was too low, mask was damaged... no response... world control Unknown interference, violence, indescribable...danger!! Repeat..."

…

"How is the situation?" In the upper mantle layer of the National Operations Management Center, in the information computer switchboard working cabin, Vidoville and Weisruifan were asking Zhai Cahir about the situation.

"The situation is not good. The current amount of data refresh is too large, and the communication network is also affected to a certain extent. The bandwidth is reduced. If the information is transmitted in time, there may be delays and distortions." Zhai Cahir's tone revealed helplessness.

"...Opening the star map of the universe, we need to understand the specific situation."

Zhai Cahir nodded. After entering a few operating instructions into a floating window in front of him and disarming the system, he inserted his identification warrant into a small keyhole at the lower end of the computer body and turned it slightly to contact physics. Insurance. Following this series of operations, the hall instantly became dark.

The hall where the information computer switchboard is located is very simple, and the entire cabin is rectangular. The six-sided bulkheads are similar to alloy materials but are actually formed by the accumulation of neutrons. As the main equipment, the information computer switchboard occupies one short side of the rectangle and 30% of the space.

In the wall against the information computer, there is an energy-conducting transistor made of information disturbance material that extends directly to the core of the earth as the energy source. And outside this layer of material, it is made using the principle of quark confinement, which is almost called a three-dimensional structure. A protective pillar made of the world's indestructible color nuclear material. This pillar is more than three thousand kilometers long and is the largest structure of pure color nuclear material in the Federation.

At the other end of the cabin, there is a huge ring, which is the interactive terminal of the switchboard. After the entire hall became dark, some faint blue streamers began to appear above the ring. These streamers jumped quickly according to the program, and in a short period of time, they outlined a huge translucent sphere - the Federation. Positive curvature space holographic star map of the universe.

Within the sphere, trillions of bright points began to emerge, combining to form the Local Supergroup star map of the entire universe. After the star map was formed, Zhai Cahir incorporated the warning perspective into this miniature but accurate model of the universe. In an instant, the originally tranquil and ethereal star map was saturated with massive red and yellow light points. In such a short period of time, these light points were still refreshing again and again, and the color tone began to transition to orange-red. The originally blue-white tones of the galaxies were densely packed. The place was almost dyed into a pool of blood.

These light spots represent one department node after another that experienced abnormalities after the information was released - some live videos have been sent back. In the low-Earth orbit of the planet, the connecting orbit of the large space station, the peacekeepers dispatched by Vidoville There is a subtle stalemate with the crowd slowly flowing in silence.

The impact came, and it was much bigger and weirder than anyone expected.

"I can only say that this result... is mostly expected, but it is not optimistic at all." Zhai Cahir looked at the slowly expanding red logo and sighed helplessly.

"The revelation of the unity of information reflects the consequences of the concept of infinity truly existing in the real world...Citizens began to question material, and then their own value - and with it, they also once again questioned their own meaning. and rights generate doubt and resistance, this is what we have observed.”

"The primary source of all material mining has been the most severely impacted. Many production lines that produce physical material products have been shut down in large quantities in a short period of time. However, the structural fine-tuning and the deployment of troops in advance have played their part. The overall production is not enough to completely disintegrate the material exchange of the entire federation - after all, the material is already extremely abundant, and the federal redundancy is still sufficient..."

"...Then, most of the warnings represented by these red dots were provided by the federal citizen movement. After being issued to individuals in theory, the conflict between rational thinking and perceptual thinking caused a considerable number of people to develop some mental problems, and the medical system The load is increasing, and there are sporadic obstructive activities in most ecological planets and space stations, with various manifestations. There are no major casualty notifications yet, and the AI ​​alert has been raised to the highest level."

"Also, there are no black spots yet - black spots represent fleets that have to take action, either to suppress or... open fire."

"...Strange, what about the calmness and rationality that we have always boasted about? What about the preparations we made before? Don't these people understand the situation at all? Why would they do this?" Vidoville looked at it Looking at the red map of the universe and galaxies in front of him, he said with some dissatisfaction, "Actually, these things that are already in the emergency plan of ancient times should not happen."

"It can only be said that maybe we have overlooked something." Wei Ruifan was a little helpless, "After all, we are not them...our ideas, the starting point and entry point of what we do are too different from theirs. For For us, it may be about judging and pushing buttons based on trends and our own goals, but for them..."

"Moreover, we need to consider whether the impact of the drastic change itself may have exceeded our expectations in some aspects - the federation's overall system has not been updated for too long, and the federation has not had something that can shake the foundation for too long. After the war, the Federation can be said to have been in a calm period, or a bottleneck period - the cultural center and educational center of the Federation, including the Grand Council, have always thought so - and we have always thought so. This is true on a fairly broad level of knowledge.”

"Probably in the past few hundred million years, the limits of our cognitive system have not changed much. Our understanding of the world and the universe has come to an end. At the same time, the lives of federal citizens are very long, too The long-term fixed environment may also make them inert and unwilling to face too drastic changes. Among them, the nature of some events themselves... may be as abnormal as the vortex itself. "

Vidoville kept recalling the history of the Federation that he had traveled through, and he found that there seemed to be many phenomena that seemed ordinary at ordinary times. If looked at together, there seemed to be something wrong.

"However, in the last tens of millions of years, we have some new things, and we have some substances that have never been seen before. However, they are just easy to use, and half of them are successful. After the failed accelerator test, the Federation has given up on energy experiments beyond the level. These things themselves are very likely to be the products of a unified process in which the entire material space has been restored and certain boundaries have been broken. Perhaps, high-energy experiments have come to an end. , the final results are no longer stable, who knows what will happen to them."

"...However, at least the senior officials are stable and calm. I am not sure what specific stance they will make on these new theories, but at least they are currently playing an active role in their respective jobs. "

"...Fortunately, the fleet is also stable." When it comes to the good part, Vidoville is obviously a little more relaxed. "It can even be said that the army is the fastest group to accept this theory. After all, the federal army is experienced. Living through life and death, life is the most important thing.”

"Others, such as theoretical knowledge on the unification of information, although it changes the overall knowledge structure, at least it will not endanger life and can better explain life. Weisrifan, thank you for the data packet."

"Is it more suitable...ah, as long as it works."

"But what to do next is the key point." Vidoville sighed, "...we...our responsibility is not to control the details. Besides, federal citizens are not enemies. Under legal constraints, we cannot act excessively and divert …Not to mention how many mental and psychological medical personnel can cope with such a situation, we cannot directly delete their underlying personalities. What’s more, this has already been announced, how can they treat someone who may not be with them for a long time? Such violent reactions to unrelated things..."

"I may be a little irresponsible in saying this, but I think it may be the best decision to continue to promote some of the current trends." Weisrifan said.

“…driving a trend?”

"Divide the work and mobilize enough people with high-level authority to go to the blockade area and the front-line base." Weiss Ruifan said slowly.

"The theory has been made public. The original authority locks on several people have been automatically removed. The blockade and isolation in the warp space bubble are no longer valuable. Let citizens who support the unified theory of information go to that area, and the federation will provide transportation and new residences. , for citizens who are unwilling to accept the new situation, let them continue to live in this area. When they are willing to accept it, the Federation will welcome them at any time. If they are still unwilling to accept it, don’t force it.”

"...If you follow the federal act, the Archon's approach sounds a bit like schism." Vidoville reminded.

"In the face of major changes, someone always needs to step forward. Even if they are unwilling to accept it now, when we use this theory to obtain infinite matter, reach a brand new universe, and achieve many achievements that are simply impossible to achieve now, but Hopefully reality will make them change their minds.”

"... Agreed, then in the future, I will organize a part of the team to go to the warp space bubble and establish a new working node." Vidoville nodded.

"Then, I'll go too." Wei Ruifan nodded. In fact, the operation work does not require an entire planetary fortress. As long as there is a computer that can connect to the information collection network, the entire territory can be controlled.

"I will stay temporarily." Zhai Cahir finally said, "I support your decision, but I must be responsible for maintaining the interaction with the information computer switchboard. It is the necessary hardware for the smooth flow of information throughout the federation."

"Then, you will be required to coordinate the work of the Grand Triangular Constellation for quite some time."

Weisrifan nodded first.

"Although it's not perfect, our decision may be somewhat... but starting from today, the wheels of the world's progress finally begin to move." In the long silence that extended from Zhai Cahir's last speech, Weiss said Ruifan made this conclusion.

"Is there... something you don't want to say... There should be no need to hesitate..."

"……No."

…

"What the Chief Consul has to do is to lead by example..."

"Don't mention it to others, this is a very serious issue..."

"Thousands of thoughts coexist and win-win. Indeed, we have been trying to control this matter within the imaginable range, and the entire federation has always believed it, but..."

"Faced with the bustling and complex federal structure, the intensity of orders and calls should not stop at...this..."

"These managers...are they aware of their own limitations...They...are not absolutely wise men, let alone those who should pay attention to details..."

"……no problem."

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

At the end of the world, in the reflection of reality, connected to the source of the entire world's bloodline, the heart of darkness began to slowly "supercharge" in a way that was impossible to detect by conventional means.

With each pulse, the seemingly non-existent dark lines become denser and stretch further outward. A large number of structures with unknown structure seem to be additionally demarcated and independent from the original system. Under the coordinated control of invisible thin lines, the visible and invisible connection between each unit and the surrounding structure is being continuously strengthened.

As for the small group of tiny individuals who are somewhat out of control - it is not important to the fortress, to the existence behind the fortress that has gone crazy and has trampled on its own glory regardless of the cost. It doesn't matter whether it's reasonable or not, whatever happens here. On the contrary, that small whirlpool, which is a disaster for them, can be of some use here.

No matter whether these decisions are wise or not, no matter what they have to do in these world lines that are either converging or diverging, it doesn't matter.

Many stories are about to stick to each other, many may confuse each other, and the reality of different weights in the void may be distorted... Inside and outside the stars, up and down the ladder, words become sticky, lengthy, distorted, and even deformed. Descriptions become weird, they become obscure and hard to pronounce, they still mean something, they still convey information, they still paint a picture of this or that...but for themselves, they are no longer concise, they are no longer clear. They seem to be alive and become indescribable...

Third, powerful top civilizations... they have become crazy and chaotic. Hundreds of billions of years of pressure and infection have made it difficult to maintain calmness and wisdom. Behind the desperate decision regardless of the cost, in the depths of the story that has become blurry and crazy, the indescribable network of pink light is dissipating, falling, and coming.

What's this……?

…

In the underlying nerves that run silently in the fortress and have been completely stripped of its intelligence, a node with a flashing glaring mark is slowly moving towards the end point on the timeline, sliding towards the head and tail of the Ouroboros.

Great things are coming.
