Star Empire

"...Ah, a new part has been successfully matched. Is this what the content of this part originally looked like?"

"It should have profound meaning, but...does it require such a profound theoretical foundation just to design such a common structure and creation? No, it shouldn't be said to be profound, but if you can think of this step, there are indeed things that need to be considered. Too much……"

Whether on the way there or on the way back, the gradually familiar scenery along the way did not change much, but the details contained in it always enabled Kriz to grasp more things. He felt that he was gradually becoming familiar with it. and really start to try to integrate into this world.

Learn and understand everything around you, learn and understand what you are doing as a human being?

There is no doubt - to live a better, more comfortable and happier life for yourself. And on that basis, not being a hindrance to others achieving those goals - the ideal goals for everyone, for everything, are actually just that.

Learning is meaningful from anywhere—in the classroom, at home, online, and on the road to various destinations. They are not restricted, and apart from the most basic and bottom-line imperial laws, there is almost no dogma in all of them. Everyone can be a teacher, and there can be a teacher everywhere.

In one cycle after another, Kriz has learned more about those rail trains - rail trains are an important type of transportation on the planet where he lives. They are divided into two types: intra-city trains and inter-city trains according to the scope of their operating lines. Intra-city trains are responsible for transportation tasks within a city hub, while inter-city trains are responsible for a much larger range - they need to be responsible for the vast area around the city, as well as the flow of entities across the city.

From this point of view... although I took the same type of trains, they were not the same "kind" of trains...

In addition to trains, Kriz also saw another major form of transportation-flying cars. They make up the light and light that connects the various buildings in the city hub. They are generally intended for one person only, but can carry larger groups of people. They are much more convenient and free to use than rail trains - as long as they comply with traffic control requirements.

In his spare time, Kriz also thought about owning a flying car of his own, and also thought about the necessity of various clauses in traffic control, and even had doubts about it, because some of the clauses seemed so strict that it would make such The use of transportation has become very awkward and even "boring". These thoughts lasted until he experienced thousands of possible accidents with flying cars in a simulated environment.

In addition to them, there are two main types of movement in the city hub - teleportation aura, and on your own.

Yes, there are complete continuous roads in the city with clear stratification - flying vehicles belong to high altitudes, and train tracks exist at mid- and low-altitudes. The bottom layer of the city belongs to every individual. To be precise, it is the "body" that belongs to each individual. The city's lower floors are not dark. The pale golden light from the main star and the starlight from the fiery sea of ​​stars, together with the lighting system between the vast streets, are enough to dispel the darkness in all corners of the city.

Kriz looked at the base of the building and the broad street with his own eyes, and measured them with his legs. At least... based on my own feelings, it seems a bit unrealistic to visit and observe the city on my own feet, but now it seems that there are still many individuals who like to stroll in these places in a way that seems very... primitive.

It seems like this, this "original" is so illogical but it is common, and it is far more than what many people take as "natural". Some of them I can barely understand, or before I understand them clearly, I can come up with some reasons and explanations that can make these things pass for me.

But some can't - when Kryz heard that the room he was in, and even the elevator he was riding in, could be expanded to be larger than the space of the entire planet if necessary, he broke himself chin.

And when he completely and completely knows all the trains, all the flying cars, himself, all the creations on this planet, this planet and even the main star around this planet, all the main stars and subsidiary stars in space, he can His jaw dropped when he was able to teleport himself to any point in the entire world in a short period of time that could be called an instant, and when the entire world could also complete such a transfer in other ways.

"...Isn't such a plan good? Or...Teacher, why don't we do this? And, these are completely unnecessary, we can..." After curing himself, Kriz ignored the holiday and He pestered his teacher almost instantly and talked about his thoughts for several nights. During this period, ui99553 just stared into Kriz's eyes, listening carefully and with a smile to the impassioned speech of the "child" in front of him.

"...Have you finished speaking?" When Kriz was finally so dry that he had to stop to recover his exhausted soul due to excessive excitement, ui99553 smiled and patted his shoulder: "Actually... The empire has done what you mentioned before, and our ancestors—even many of the old-timers who are still active in the empire now—this is how they came through in that era."

"Ah, but now..."

"Answer the teacher's question - Kriz, how do you feel now? Is it interesting? Can you feel happy and happy, and look forward to the future?"

"It's good and interesting. Of course I have expectations."

"That's right - the Empire has been trying to do this for a long time." ui99553 passed a series of brief historical description files to Kryz: "In fact, in the past eons, even here All the conditions you describe existed eons ago—not just the past, but more.”

"Even during an extreme period of time, almost all independent minds within the entire empire were chaotically glued together, and the entire empire formed a huge and chaotic entity that almost blindly followed instinctive activities. . At that time, all the conjectures you mentioned, as well as countless conjectures that you have not yet thought of... countless of them are twisted and confused with hundreds of millions of times of exaggeration, throughout the entire empire..."

"The empire at that time was full of chaos and madness. Life was not only unhappy, but also had no future..."

"But teacher, applying these properties to reality cannot be directly tied to whether life is happy or whether there is a future...?" Kriz said eagerly.

"Don't worry...there is indeed a connection between them. It may not seem "reasonable" to you, but it is true."

"You have to understand that stronger performance does not necessarily equate to being more advanced. Being more advanced does not mean that it needs to be promoted throughout the empire immediately. Using more powerful and advanced things does not necessarily mean that you will gain a positive attitude. and evaluation…”

ui99553 stated: "Maybe it's because of the influence of the foundation of life since our birth, maybe it's because our culture still has a certain degree of retention, or maybe we're always yearning for something ancient but with its own unique connotation... This The precise explanation of this aspect is still being studied by the Department of History. Therefore, I will only briefly mention here the most accepted hypotheses.”

ui99553 waved his hand and continued: "For us - we have a sense of rejection from the bottom of our hearts towards technology that is too high, too close to the distance, and too far away from the support of reality. Although this sense of rejection will not directly affect The immediate life and survival of each individual, but over a large span of time, its impact will gradually interfere with us, making us think...that there is nothing to do in reality, and we have nothing to enjoy."

"That's the first problem with your contradictions. For the Empire, for the current mainstream view - we don't necessarily have to keep the technology used in practice at the highest level we can achieve. For now, we should keep them at a level that "we" like most of the time."

"This..." Kriz frowned, "I feel like this is not a very good..."

"Good and bad are relative. Moreover, there are many things in the world that cannot be measured by pure good and bad. When you learn systematic measurement in the future, you will know that describing one thing requires using The parameters can last you countless days and nights.”

ui99553 continued: "Because of those reasons, over a long period of time, the entire empire began to undergo a certain degree of differentiation, and the specific manifestation of these differentiations is the difference in living environment - beings who like absolute technology and ideas will all Technologies and possibilities are all unfolding, and those who don’t like them so much keep them in a silent state waiting to be awakened at ordinary times - just like everything here.”

"Everything you can see is actually neither fixed nor absolute. Flying cars and rail trains can span the distant starry sky, the space in buildings can be expanded to counter-intuitive levels, service systems can be expanded to be pervasive and ubiquitous, and transmission devices Any point can be located and teleported...it's all there, and they can all be activated when needed."

"but why……?"

"Because [reality]. Because we live in [reality]." At this point, ui99553 suddenly became serious. "That's where the second problem comes in."

"Many times, many people have a considerable misunderstanding of reality - for example, they believe that everything in reality should strictly follow a set of logical operations, and that inputting initial conditions will inevitably lead to corresponding results, etc..."

"Actually, everything is not like this. There are also many reasons why this is not the case. For example, reality does not strictly follow logic and rules. For example, those strict results may not always be generally accepted by the public..."

In the empty space "in front of" the two of them, countless debris began to fall from the sky. These debris were spread flat on the ground, forming an original picture.

"If you look from above, what you see is the reality we live in." After pulling Kriz onto the screen, ui99553 waved his hand to revive the frozen screen. As the two watched, the picture began to expand, showing highlights and shadows. Then, the screen stopped again.

"But, if you look at it from the side..." ui99553 pulled Kriz back to the ground where they were before.

What appeared in front of me was a tall and rugged mountain.

"Did you see it? [Reality] is a whole that is formed by countless factors that are constantly stacked and influencing each other, and are promoted together over a long period of time. There is logic and chaos. There is persistence and compromise, and there is certainty and ambiguity. place."

"Um……"

"It's like a series of grand stories - it doesn't always have to follow all the logic, all the elements within it are not irreconcilable with each other, nothing is complete and absolutely clear."

"We go through it all, and the layer we are on is the result of the final appearance of the imprinted structure formed by all these layers. In short, we live in the "result". Made up of chaotic systems Evolution progresses and ultimately forms the result.”

"Maybe it's a little early to say this, but I think, for xs4028, for you, it is not impossible to explain this part now - in fact, almost everything can find its own "beauty" , and the definition of "beauty" is different according to different standards. Therefore, the concept and practice of seeking common ground while reserving differences is common throughout the empire - you will also encounter it in the future."

"At the same time, there are more words that can be told to you that may help you understand the current situation. You may not be able to fully utilize them now, but they should be very useful to you in the future..."

"Everything in reality is developing, the interval corresponding to development is fuzzy, and the possibilities will show a clear cluster..."

"But for a specific event, for a specific possibility... only a limited number of results can be selected to correspond to the "cluster" formed by the possibility - this is decision and choice."

"Like the birth center of new life, such facilities can be built in the suburbs or inside the city. They can even be built in space - the range allowed is huge, but for a specific site, All it needs is a concrete result..."

"The new system formed by the exact results of countless chaotic choices is still chaotic. It is not absolutely rational. Sometimes, it may not follow rationality..."

"But, you also need to know that since real-life choices do not completely follow rationality and strict logical circuits, naturally, it is not perfect either. In the future, you will learn all this systematically - but remember , if there is an imperfection that you think is real, don’t be afraid to face it. If you encounter an imperfection that countless people, including you, feel, don’t be afraid to fight..."

"Understand the imperfections of reality and the reasons why it is difficult to change in time, so that you will not be incompatible with everything. At the same time, you must also be clear about your attitude as an independent individual, so that you will not fall into the tide of chaos. Just go with the flow…”

"xs4028, this part may only answer a small part of your questions, but it will leave you with countless blank spaces and more questions. If you want to really figure them out, you still need to rely on yourself..."

The story is also...

All things support and develop each other, and at the same time, they also compromise with each other.

…

Civilization has failed, and the infinitely proliferating fleets and insect swarms cannot resist the extension and spread of the disaster. A huge fracture zone emerged from the edge of order. It advanced, tearing apart the territory that sustained the empire's existence. The black tide of corruption drowned the story, pushing all reality into the bottom of nothingness. Memory and the Internet have become highways for the transmission of severe pollution. All the lights across countless worlds were extinguished, leaving only a few lingering stars in the dark distant frontier.

The ghosts of the past and the forgotten ones have returned from nothingness to make these executioners pay the price that they deserve but no one can pay for. The resentful spirits broke through the walls of the soul, reversed the direction of the original story, and pulled everything into a renewed war. Over hundreds of millions of years, countless injustices have been retaliated against, extinguishing the possibility and reincarnation of life and death. In the end, both sides perished.

The laws in the void were completely shattered. The chaotic, senseless dream will eventually wake up. Everything is no longer controllable, everything is just a fragile bubble on false evidence. No matter how hard you struggle and save yourself, there is nothing you can do to save yourself. Even if you try to save yourself, even if these thoughts can still appear in your mind, they cannot be saved. transmitted to the body. And soon, new ideas can no longer be generated.

Reality no longer exists, and what we do and think is nothing more than an abnormal gathering of ephemera in the cold ocean. Vastness and emptiness have torn apart the foundation of the structure, causing the structure to lose its perception and description of itself. There is no reality and no hypocrisy. The voice praying for reality and truth was forever blocked in the throat and could no longer be spoken. Every brief period of stability and peace is just after peeling off his original body, the fresh flesh and blood has not completely rotted for a while.

There are countless pairs of eyes, and the owners of countless pairs of eyes have long been occupied. Abnormal memes took over the original body, and they either swallowed or dispersed the original life, ending the intelligence that was still looking forward to the future. All of this, maybe it could have been protected, maybe it could have been restored - even if one part of it had to be sacrificed to preserve the other part? While the nature of choice is important, the nature of transgression represents the rupture of rules. But if it really comes to a moment when all measurement systems and all foundations of existence will disappear...are the former moralities and former ideals still necessary to exist?

The system that maintained the stability of the reactor collapsed. The connection between the virtual and the real ends is cut off, the different spaces are torn apart by turbulent currents, and the elements can no longer be arranged or even separated. The pipes carrying the torrent of information were either blocked, or seemed to be drained dry, and completely cooled down in an instant.

The fundamental forces out of which everything that exists and is taken for granted no longer exist. The order field in the void was extinguished, and the core encircled by the order field was exiled into the turbulence. All large-scale world structures, including the branches of the world, disintegrated. The waves and radiation scattered after the disintegration destroyed the survivors' lone boats.

After a large-scale collapse, the souls are no longer able to maintain everything of their own. They have to keep burning themselves and repackage themselves into a hunched figure crawling on the ground, so as to avoid the torrential rain of crystals flying all over the sky, as well as the harsh, nowhere. Absent radiation. And the time it takes for them to dissipate is not only longer than their own lifespan, but also far longer than...the lifespan of the world.

More powerful races arise from subtle places, or from beyond. The golden flag on a black background burned in flames. Jump had no choice but to sign because there was no room and no chips for the final resistance. Development is prohibited, power is taken away, privacy is spied upon and value is extracted. Countless names were put to death, and countless names were put on visible and invisible shackles.

In the face of oppression and exploitation, an intricate lower-level system has long been formed in the shadows. Intrigues and intrigues are projected for everyone's enjoyment, and after that, people whose innermost feelings are revealed, or something else, may fight, and this is another feast. After this, everything will continue as normal.

…

I woke up from the dream, but it was not over yet. Eternal reincarnation seems to ignore the essence that the name of time can correspond to.

Once again, reality unfolds, but it's not right yet. The corrupted sky, laughing and cursing, and the groups of walking corpses are still wandering in the avenue. It's just...it seems that the voice of resistance is getting louder, and there are people here who are willing to raise their arms and call for help.

Wake up from dream.

Wake up from dream.

Sleeping.

Wake up from dream...

…

Bright colors gradually revive and hope returns.

It's a nightmare, the deepest nightmare - a nightmare that only rulers have the right to give birth to, and only rulers have to face.

It's not impossible for this to happen. Although a long time has passed, for many lives, the collapse of the past is still vivid in their minds - they are not stories, they will never become false, they really existed in the past, and they changed the empire and the empire forever Everything for all sentient beings.

There is no need for them to be made public immediately. All this is done so that if an accident of this magnitude does occur in the future, at least someone in the empire can come up with some practical opinions and guidance to help everyone face the difficulties.

However, such a simulation contains too much pain, too many possibilities that no one wants to mention directly, and too many counter-tendencies that run counter to the real development trajectory.

They are also a rebellion against all emergent rituals that lead to positivity.

Reality does not allow such a possibility to happen within itself.

But all this is far from the level of [impossible].

But...how to simulate? How to reproduce these horrific plans?

...needs dreams.

It requires the deepest dream, countless iterative dreams. They must rely on these structures, relying on them, to have the ability to unfold these stories in the smallest details to avoid the invisible but powerful "correction" of the real environment...
