Star Empire

"So...does this mean I can leave this room? Get...primary education?"

Kriz quickly thought about what he saw on the forum, that new life of his own type needs to go through education after initial growth, and this education is said to be divided into three stages - the primary stage of learning how to deal with things. As a human being, you learn theoretical knowledge in various subjects and aspects at the intermediate stage, and the advanced stage is divided into two stages:

In the first section, the beings will learn how to operate various vehicles and equipment, and can truly interact with every detail of the empire; in the second section, the beings will choose the first direction they like and move towards it. Specialization in this direction begins to work hard.

"Yes, the supreme user." The voice from the air replied, "After the system is detected and confirmed, there will be a three-day observation and confirmation period. After that, the locked state of this house will be released. At that time, You will have free access here."

"Wow! Hey, but going to school..." Kriz suddenly thought of something, "What should I do with all that?"

"You can check all the information you need from the Freshman Forum and the Imperial Basic Document Library that will be opened to you soon, Supreme User." The voice coming from the void was still dull: "You have about five to seven days. time to review relevant information and make a decision.”

"Five to seven days?" Kriz frowned slightly, "Isn't there a fixed number?"

"No, because it is not completely certain how long it will take for you to reach the final stage of growth, so there is a relatively vague upper and lower limit for the final time interval." The server in the room paused and continued.

"At the same time, this is your first lesson: you need to pay attention, when you need information, you should learn how to look up what you need and learn to take the initiative, because information will not always come to you on its own initiative. You It should also be noted that in the future, most tasks will have clear deadlines. However, the possibility of unexpected occurrences cannot be ruled out. When the boundaries are uncertain, you should arrange your time based on smaller boundaries to avoid falling into passive."

"That's it, I understand." Kriz nodded thoughtfully. He waved his hand gently, summoning his interactive interface with the empire's network.

"...The operation process is not different, but this time it feels...there is something different." Thinking like this, Kriz completed the input and confirmed the execution of the search command - as if he was completing the task assigned to him. The first mission is general.

"Ah, so that's it..."

"You can just choose a school that provides primary education nearby. Since there are almost no differences in the educational content at the primary level between schools, you don't need to worry too much..."

"There is no need to make too much preparation. After the application is approved, you can check your information on the corresponding official website. After that, take the corresponding rail train to the school and go to the corresponding work according to the pre-arranged student number. Bit……"

"This post reminds the new students that after entering the school for the first time, the new students may feel uncomfortable due to time coordination, which is normal. At that time, the relevant personnel will further explain the content. Update: This post has been pinned to the top. Keep it on top until the relevant process no longer exists. Within the current process and technical control scope, this problem is a high-frequency problem..."

"Time coordination? Discomfort?" Kriz subconsciously wanted to ask the manager of this room, about the voice that had never appeared physically but seemed to be everywhere.

"No, no." Kriz knocked on his head: "You should search for the problem yourself. Let me look for it... I have it. The specific explanation is..."

"...the time flow rate of countless worlds under the entire empire shows a uniform trend under the macro trend. However, the changes driven by the trend do not meet the basic calibration needs of the empire. Therefore, the entire empire uses two types of main axis time , the first type of main axis time is converted externally based on the empire as a whole and provides a unified reference standard for the entire empire."

"The second type of main axis time is calculated by each sky zone and used as a real practical application ruler. As active sets, these "time rulers" can coordinate originally unrelated intervals from a larger range, making them form A subset relative to a larger set does not rule out its stability, and it may be merged in the future... What are these?"

The information bombardment made Kriz dizzy, and he directly pulled the post to the end: "...The current method of using two types of main axis time is a compromise. Due to the empire's basic calculation capabilities and basic algorithms It still cannot support time unification across the entire territory, so the total time is divided into multiple relatively independent "domains" on a day-to-day basis, and the time between domains is continuously calibrated. This approach is to completely unify time in the future. Make preliminary preparations.”

"For new life, what needs to be noted is that the initial activity cycles of the new life themselves are quite different from each other. This gap is not conducive to the current system providing corresponding services, nor is it conducive to the communication and interaction between the new life. Therefore, The activity cycle of new life will be unified at the primary education stage. However, this approach requires changes in life itself. Therefore, new life may experience discomfort and discomfort, which is normal."

"The problem with this is that for ordinary beings, changing their time only requires changes in the way their changing elements are projected on the main axis. But extraordinary beings themselves will resist such external disturbances, so they are When changes occur at the same level, extraordinary beings need to change themselves in accordance with relevant projection rules..."

"...As expected, I still can't understand it, but in that case, I'll pay more attention when the time comes..."

"Hey, I still need a physical examination report. Take a look at it... Just ask the management system to help you in your respective rooms..." Kriz nodded, "Then ask that voice to help later..."

The management system that manages the operations in this room is a loyal server of new life, and it is also a loyal recorder of the empire.

New life should not see them - those "background notes" hidden under the words that provide theoretical support for words that are not profound and obscure in expression are currently not open to new life.

But Kriz, he can see all this, and he can see under the superficial part, the magnificent foundation that supports the stable operation of these appearances - at least, he can see part of it.

Regarding his abnormal attributes, this part of "himself" has reported it to other parts of himself in a timely manner, and the feedback he received was to "continue recording and maintain the status quo."

The physical examination report was released through the detection system and sent to Kriz. At the same time, this report will also be sent to various departments and each specific person in charge who need to pay attention to this phenomenon.

…

"Hmm... a long-lost scene." Kriz sat comfortably on the seat in the rail train car. He was surrounded by new students like him who were preparing to go to school to receive primary education. From their actions of looking out the window, whispering or sitting upright, Kriz read out emotions such as "expectation" and "worry".

It was completely different from the last time I rode a rail train - back then, everyone was wearing the same clothes and their bodies were locked in their seats. Thinking about it now, at that time, there was probably an invisible locking force field floating around everyone's body to prevent those who had not adapted to the world, or who may not have been adapted to the world, from abnormal movements and harming themselves or others. .

Now the feeling of fixity and stillness has been removed. At the same time, the uniform white bodysuits of the past are almost gone, and a variety of other forms of clothing have taken their place.

He looked out the window, and he vaguely remembered that he was almost "sucked in" by the sky.

It's just that this time, the sky is a little different - the difference from my memory is that the sky is no longer a huge sky with no depth and no gaps. It is like a bright purple-gold sea of ​​fire. In the sea of ​​fire, there are undulating and colliding waves, and the white light "splashing" out of the waves and waves is like scattered sparks.

"Are they still active??" While noticing these changes, Kriz's eyes focused more carefully on the light spots in the sea of ​​fire.

He saw that the stars in the sky showed a completely different appearance from before. Stars are "round", small, and have boundaries within themselves. And around them, there seemed to be some existences that were fainter and more subtle than the stars. This was what my initial intuition told me, but my own senses told me that every detectable light point corresponded to A world no narrower than the world beneath his feet.

"Sensory difference?" Kriz frowned slightly, and he looked seriously at the dark gaps among the stars - that was not a gap, there were stars in every gap. As long as he needed to see them, they would It can be displayed continuously. And when you don't pay attention to them, they still exist, but...

"They occupy less attention." Kriz thought, "Filters... primitive optical filters, constant marker filters, Hume (reality intensity) reading filters, three-rank universal filters... When did they appear? Wait, are we here?"

The extremely efficient rail train did not leave Kriz with much time to think. The train silently entered a huge building and quickly stopped. After getting off the train, what everyone faced was a hall - it seemed to be the same hall that they faced when they "went home" before.

"There's more than just lifts here?"

"What's the surrounding part?"

"It looks like a halo... Is this the teleportation module mentioned in the previous post on the freshman forum?"

"Ladders? Stairs? They don't seem to have moving parts? To use them...do we need to walk by ourselves?"

"Something strange..."

The chattering whispers made the vast hall become lively in an instant, but the liveliness did not last long. All passages can be used. The prompts for freshmen to pass in an orderly manner rang directly in everyone's mind, and guided them to leave the site, log in to the passage through the open traffic gate on the wall opposite the site, and enter the school's pre-assigned class location.

"It's really interesting." Kriz followed the flow of the crowd and entered the building - he planned to try something like "teleportation halo" which felt very "powerful".

"Retrieving the identity of the transmission applicant..."

"Determining the target..."

"Determining whether the area around the target meets the transmission requirements..."

"How long does it take to transfer--"

"Transmission completed."

"Hey——?!" As soon as the words he wanted to ask formed in his mind, he was already sitting on his "seat".

"Tsk." Kriz could only swallow the unfinished question first. He looked at the layout of this room: it was spacious and bright, with simple furnishings. The floor and ceiling were not completely flat, but showed a certain shape. Step shape. If you are facing the "front" of the room when you are sitting in your seat, then the wall in front of the room looks like a type of equipment used for projection. There are also curves and tops that adapt to the shape of the stairs. Diffusion, all of this... seems to be designed to enable the freshmen on the "rear front" to better receive information? Screen?

On both sides of the big screen, there are two symmetrical "doors". New students like him are entering here through the two doors one after another. During this process, Kriz also noticed that only some of them, maybe 30 to 40% of them, "flashed" directly in their corresponding seats - they probably chose to teleport like him. The way.

"It's quite interesting... Wait, if you come in like this, how do you leave? Is there a corresponding teleportation halo here? Or do you have to "walk" out?" Thinking like this, Kriz leaned slightly, He dodged a passerby who passed by him with exaggerated clothes and hairstyle.

"It's so troublesome... It can't go through the conventional teleportation halo and general lifting structure. It also requires a special passage... I'm disturbing everyone, please give way!"

"...Excuse me, please give me a moment?"

Looking at the huge hair ball slowly rolling behind him, Kriz suddenly felt that he seemed to understand something:

This "empire" supports freedom and supports individuals to choose to have different styles in many aspects, to choose to be completely different or even incompatible with others. Unless it violates the "limit" that the threshold is considered to be very high, the empire can now say that there is no "hard and fast rule" to limit an individual's choices and decisions in this regard, but...

The empire's infrastructure system can - additional structures beyond certain thresholds require specialized pathways for transport. At present, the number of specialized facilities is relatively small and independent, which may cause certain restrictions on users.

Everyone's choice is up to a certain limit, and being disturbed is tolerable, but this tolerance is not unlimited. Once the limit is exceeded, and the vision of the person making such a decision is low enough, then...if you meet someone with a high enough level of dissatisfaction, I am afraid that he, she or it will help those who make decisions that hinder the normal actions and actions of others. Living individuals "take classes".

The same goes for my own thoughts and understandings - although the details are a little blurry, I vaguely remember that before coming to the reality of order, in the chaos, what the "system" showed me and what I experienced There is also a related part - the feeling of excessive annoyance, the feedback you get after influencing others, and your own feelings fuse together in your heart is not very comfortable.

If in the stage before the body is formed, such guidance practices are common and are generally given new life, then... it should be said that almost all people will pay attention to this part and make enough efforts after that. Appropriate changes.

"Is it... So, do most of the first-stage courses consist of these contents? Understand the various things around you, and then learn how to let yourself develop peacefully with them based on these understandings, and then put them into practice. Replace them with them—" These contents emerged from Kriz's thoughts layer by layer, as if a thread was being pulled out of the fog...

Not finished yet.

"Freshmen, class is on~"

The sudden words that appeared in his mind disrupted Kriz's immersed thoughts. After blinking hard, he realized that the "bustling" in the room had subsided and the whole room was full. At some point, a protruding platform and a table "grew" on the ground corresponding to the center of the projection screen array at the front of the room.

There is also a "person" who reveals a sense of intimacy.

"Hello freshmen, my name is 3-3-5-ui99553, and I am the general person in charge of everyone who has passed through the primary stage."

"General person in charge? Teacher/guide and general person in charge should not mean the same thing, right? If these two identities are bound to each other, then we will have multiple persons in charge..."

"I feel like this teacher is so young...seems like he's not much different from us?"

"But the temperament and the feeling revealed... 32-po342667, how do you feel?"

"The difference is quite big..."

"His identification number...third-level and fifth-level authority? That should be what it means, right? The duties and scope of responsibility corresponding to the authority level are..."

The figure on the podium did not stop the somewhat messy information exchange in the audience. After the disturbance caused by various communication methods had almost subsided, he slowly "speaked" and said:

"Every new student can come to this junior school normally. Based on the basic requirements before admission, you already have a clearer understanding and knowledge of this part of the information. We will not go into details on this aspect. If you If you still have any questions, you can continue to browse relevant forums or other sites to obtain relevant information, or you can communicate with me or any other person in charge."

"Now, we will enter the first learning process. Please summon your own network terminal and follow my guidance to debug. The premise that you and the terminal can interact well can effectively improve the subject's information reception efficiency..."

"So this is still possible?!"

"Can this part be adjusted?"

"Many sites...are not at the same level as before..."

The content is unprecedented..."

"Freshmen, the content covered by primary education mainly includes the following aspects: understanding the world, learning to be a human being, and learning to deal with things. The latter two are the fundamentals of the fundamentals. When taught, they may correspond to many contents, ideas and examples . But in the distant future, for independent individuals, all they can leave may be a few thoughts, a few subconscious thoughts and a few goals - the basic thoughts, ideas and goals that guide an individual's behavior. .”

"Next, let's start by understanding the world..."
