Star Empire

"It's true..." In this regard, Victorville had no more words.

"So Wood, don't think too much, think too much - thinking too much and making unfounded guesses will not lead to any meaningful results." On the other side of the communication, Wei Ruifan's tone contained a hint of emotion. More helplessness.

"Um."

"well……"

I have become different. I don’t know since when, I have become the last barrier of the entire empire, the beacon of the entire empire, and the supreme existence of the entire empire...

I vaguely remember that I once participated in the development of soul abilities, carried out specific actions, and interacted... Now, some of the explanations that I no longer accept may be written and recorded by my past self. Even...it seems that I was once frightened by the order I needed to give.

"When did it start to become different..." In the perception of his body and mind, Weisrifan sighed slightly again.

Change has a process, and obviously, for me, this process is very long.

"...Forget it, there's no need. Instead of dwelling on the deeds of the past that have either merged or dissipated, it's better to hope for the future."

As the messy thoughts dissipated, the sun's light seemed to become brighter and clearer.

…

The void is vast and infinitely deep, and it breeds infinite possibilities. These "possibilities" may appear in the sky, or they may appear before our eyes.

A sufficiently broad "space" and a sufficiently long "time" can produce sufficiently diverse results.

The cooperation between the Star Empire and the Observer Council has become closer, and the division of labor has become clearer. Within the framework of more and clearer agreements, two types of ships can travel more freely among the natural sea of ​​stars, shuttling between countless waves, recording and processing many pieces of the endless and endless waves among the stars. Countless pieces of information.

The Five Heavenly Constellations of the Star Empire began to initially guide the interaction between the empire itself and various civilizations in the natural world. However, in order to avoid another direct failure like before, this time, the empire is prepared to start with implicit interaction, that is, to transmit and accept possible changes and influences through indirect means.

"...Is this method really possible? If such large-scale astral tombs are used as disguises, they themselves may be able to deceive, attract the attention of some civilizations, and "hint" that other forces are present. Death here, but such existences...can we prepare them for the causes and consequences of their appearance there? These worlds do not have the influence of world circuits and field life. We cannot accurately quantify the details of operating this."

"...The argument is over. As for the results in this area...we can only "try it first". We have no choice. The relevant arguments have been made more than once or twice, but the results obtained...they are always chaotic." Open. That means we can’t know the results without experimenting.”

"It's a bit unimaginable... If we can "try" this way to summarize the rules from chaos... how many lives will it cost? After all, for us, these variables may not be worth a second glance, but for these civilizations In terms of... there may be subversive consequences."

"This is beyond our responsibility - we need to do our job within our mandate."

"……yes."

…

"This point is worthy of attention at present..."

Faced with the reports sent back from all over the void, the high-level structure of the Star Empire's Five Heavens Constellation quickly summarized the changes that needed to be made.

"Look at these traces... Some of the outer structures of these ships have coatings with unclear material properties. The fragile parts extending outwards of some ships are distorted, forming abnormal structures that do not conform to the original design... Also, These are traces of interactive layering, which shows that the range of interactions these ships can have with the world is different in different worlds... If the origin of the materials of these ships is taken into account, what can be expressed in different worlds The actual structure is different and can be effectively explained..."

"These ships can move within the corresponding zone. Once they leave the corresponding world zone, they will conflict with the laws of the world outside the threshold. Since these warships do not possess extraordinary attributes of sufficient strength, they cannot completely resist the world view. The conflict between them, and on this basis, it can be further clarified... When belonging to the Empire, the increase that the Empire can give to ships and units has also weakened."

"According to historical records, the existence that is given the meaning of belonging to the empire should be independent from the quadrant and able to resist the differences in laws within the world, but they cannot guarantee that this can still be true now. This is because the empire is "weakened" compared to the past. "Another clear example of this."

"...the first wave of tests is over, the sample statistics are completed, all non-extraordinary battleships and volunteers are recalled and properly placed. Necessary settlements are made in accordance with relevant reference opinions and test methods..."

…

"Research on the various feedbacks submitted during this period has begun, and preliminary solutions have already been proposed. This multi-department joint meeting is to confirm the feasibility of these preliminary solutions and further advance relevant ideas. The exact direction of…”

"Allow our corresponding department personnel to have further "hidden contact" with basic civilizations. Under the premise of complying with confidentiality regulations, relevant personnel can be allowed to take more ways to establish interactions and harvest information. Since the civilization in question is "comparable" to the empire "The sex" is too low. Directly establishing interaction under the obvious differences in objective existence may lead to more unexpected factors and lead to failure. More low-profile interactions are considered to be suitable for further attempts..."

"Abnormal events related to empire ownership are transferred to higher-level decision-making bodies."

"After the completion of relevant interactive experience reaches the corresponding requirements, we should start planning to establish the empire's own "diplomatic department." Try to conduct diplomatic interaction experiments on a territorial basis, or directly conduct interactive experiments with the empire itself as a location civilization. Try to use its own Establish an isolated sandbox to simulate the operation of the environment, set up multiple environments and multiple models. Conduct diplomatic attempts and recycle attitudes..."

"It should be clear that there are limitations to the simulation sandbox test carried out on its own basis. These results should be integrated with observation records and jointly deduced."

"The next topic is to discuss how to deal with various kinds of creations of strong mundane/ordinary/ordinary levels."

"For this aspect... I'm afraid there is currently no direct and comprehensive one-time "good solution."" Faced with the new issues, countless light spots on the Internet "flickered" to express their helplessness in this way: "There are limits to creations of ordinary levels, and now, creations of this level do not have much room for direct improvement in terms of basic materials and existence attributes... and other methods involving camouflage or amplification will be contaminated with extraordinary power and lead to "Pollution" spreads."

"Such basic limitations have led to limitations in the scope of application of this type of creation. At present, we do not have a good enough way to improve it. And this type of creation that cannot be directly maintained and improved through the Internet is best not to be systematically Upgrading and transformation, because they are of huge order of magnitude, systematic upgrading and transformation of them may lead to other conditions due to order of magnitude issues..."

"So regarding this aspect... while continuing to optimize the creation, we should also consider... making changes to the environment?"

"The direction of this proposal to transform the environment... is not clear, and it is certain that no matter what the final choice is, putting this proposal into practice will inevitably require an unimaginable amount of resources."

"Change the environment...? Are you talking about changing the environment in the world of order to build a channel for information below the extraordinary?" In the network, another group of active light points quickly responded: "The laws of the world cannot be changed. After all, Everything in the world under the current empire is artificial, the artificial world barrier representation, the artificial world environment and world laws, the artificial operating mechanism... But the problem with this proposal is..."

"If we only look at the resistance to the worldview brought about by the existence attribute...the empire's strong ordinary creation can resist the distortion of the worldview within the quadrant where it is created. Within the same main quadrant, even the information gap at the sub-quadrant level can It is not enough to make them unusable. This is no problem for the empire's creations, but ultimately opening up the barriers between worlds is not to face the empire, but to face the various possible mortal lives under the empire's name. Therefore, if this proposal needs to be implemented, then …”

“It is necessary to find a construction method that allows cross-quadrant environments to exist in structures that are originally antagonistic or even mutually exclusive, and this method requires that the process and results are gentle enough.”

"In other words... taking the simplest basic model as an example - if the two quadrants are defined as (+, +) and (+, -) respectively, we must find a way to include the (+, +) coordinates The labeled points exist within the (+, -) quadrant and are macroscopic, large-scale reality replacements.”

"In the "attractive friction" or other types of instantaneous interactions between worlds, trace amounts of information can be "washed" in the process to be able to bear the huge differences in nature, but the performance in a small range is not Serious anomalies, they can resist the differences between different worlds. But such spontaneous crossing... Generally speaking, the amount of information that can be allowed to cross the barrier is very small. This method cannot be used to reset the information in countless worlds on a large scale. Endless reality. It’s one of the contradictions.”

"The second contradiction lies in the structure and types of the world... there are many, very many, but the empire's own management system has recalculated and converged them, so in the conventional impression... all the worlds are like the one outside us The space is the same, but that view is not accurate.”

In the network, another light began to shine, and the beings responsible for this part projected a large number of models into the consciousness of the participants - those models represented a wide variety of worlds.

"The time flow rate between worlds, time dimensions, space dimensions, reality structure, basic logic, law generation, and even simple scale and information volume, etc.... all of them can be used as vectors and dimensions to measure the distance between worlds. different."

"The "interaction frequency" of reality, the basic composition and size gap of microscopic particles, the isolation and covariation between laws...the superposition of these factors will allow the results of this chaos to expand without limit."

"The existing "void rules" can only point out relatively clear general trends, but they cannot indicate all clear results, just like the approximate position of a world can be calculated based on the Trinity coordinates of a world, but it is located at that position The "inside" of the world does not necessarily correspond to its own representations, and the world may change spontaneously or drift spontaneously...the uncertainty here is too great."

"Corresponding to Guangdu, there is also depth, that is, what upper and lower limits a variable may have... This result is terrible."

"Terrible?"

"Yes, set theory tells us that even if it is infinite, there are enough tools to measure and compare. At present, ours has pushed this step to a very high theoretical threshold, which is high enough to make us doubt that even The void may not be able to breed entities of a corresponding scale..."

"However, we cannot rule out the possibility that those unimaginable entities actually exist in the void."

"——?!"

"!!"

Vidoville's sudden words caused an uproar on the Internet, but the uproar quickly dissipated as the surprise faded.

"Actually, everyone can imagine it, but it's just because it's unnecessary and meaningless... It's enough to just assume the smallest extreme possibility - there are all possibilities in the void, and we can't be sure whether there will be extreme possibilities in the void. Several dimensions, or even a world with a truly infinite-dimensional Hilbert space or other entities equivalent to it.”

"If they exist, the total amount of information will probably be so large that the entire empire will have no meaning to compare with it. Even our most powerful algorithms and host arrays may not be able to handle when we look at such a structure. The amount of information gained.”

"...Why do I need to...bring this up now?"

"No, it's nothing..."

"The problem with the wide variety of worlds is that...the convergence of civilizations will suppress the expression of possible variables, and they may be pushed to the bottom. But we...will eventually need to expand again, and we will inevitably move towards a more distant void. Advance, reach, and even cross our previous boundaries, even the boundaries of Σcivilization. Outside the boundaries... there will be many more possibilities. The world structure that can be seen now is just a small part of the world that has tended to be the same. part."

"We still lack test data. Our current large library records a variety of universe structures and world structures, but we do not have records of mortal structures interacting with them. The deduction can approximate the results, but many tests... are actually done. , in order to have sufficiently accurate and comprehensive results for consideration..."

"But if you want to interact with these "alien worlds", you first need to encounter enough of them. To encounter these alien worlds, you also need to encounter so many alien worlds. The most basic condition is that you need to To leave the "convergence zone", that is, you need to be far enough away from the empire, much further than the expedition..."

"This is not a part that we can touch. We need to report to the higher-ups..."

…

"...So, because we need to add mundane information communication modules to the worlds we manage that may be used in the future, the empire needs to have teams away from the empire, and needs to interact with alien worlds and obtain information?" Part of Victorville's attention Li was aware of the applications sent to him and established spiritual interactions with the applicants.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Due to the need to stay away from the development convergence caused by the existence of the Empire itself, these exploration teams need to leave the Empire very far to capture and collect the most meaningful data. Currently... all other project teams are executing projects related to Our projects are not overlapping enough to be integrated, and our current authority and resources are not sufficient to support us in completing a task of this scale alone."

"Well... according to your needs, it is indeed the case." Vidoville confirmed.

"If it is limited to the interior of the empire, the World Gate Network and the Sacred Music Praise Fortress Group can provide help. But your request... I am afraid that it requires a virtual point jump engine to meet. Although the Sacred Music Praise Fortress can support virtual point jumping, but It can only be supported a limited number of times.”

"After being far away from the empire, these facilities can no longer provide support. The Sacred Music Praise calibrates the route, and the gates of the world cannot perform virtual point jumps, and they cannot move at will. Therefore... your plan requires virtual point jump ships..." Vidoville showed them some information, "We are currently working on the project, you won't have to wait too long."

"We understand."

"...virtual point jump ships...they can do far more than what they are doing right now." Vidoville raised his head and looked at the test site in front of him. In the test site, there were many bright disks that were shrinking, like It is a star that is igniting, and it is also like a seed that is being conceived.

The virtual point jump ship is extremely special - because it needs to resist the ultra-long span of void information deviation, its own "information representation" will be extremely compressed, and it protects itself by reducing its target to avoid being changed by information in the void. The difference was directly crushed into a void of noise. The virtual point jump engine requires powerful computing power and energy to operate, and the corresponding hardware must be equipped.

In order to ensure that the order field barrier, the order field environment, and the conflicts within the ship will not tear the ship apart, this part also requires special design and construction.

However, even after all these specializations, the virtual point jump is still unimaginably harmful to such an ordinary unit, so these ships must dock in a certain world after a certain voyage for calibration and repair. Considering the uncertainty in the void, bringing your own world singularity production line is the best choice in theory...

These cannot be accomplished by ordinary information shaping environments. Here, Victorville's personal supervision is needed.

While ships are produced here, they also produce "seeds".

Even if the seeds leave their mother body and float into the distance, into the unknown... when the conditions are right, they may take root and sprout in a distance that even the empire cannot see, and grow into another tree, or even another lush giant tree.

So, between the trees...

"A unified civilization...another civilization..." Vidoville shook his head.
