Star Empire

The trance of light and shadow and the bright star sea are constantly jumping and switching in the field of vision.

On the long-planned route, all creatures and things are ready - the world as a relay node greatly enhances its performance in the void, and correspondingly, the world around these key nodes is all "dark". "Come down." These reinforced nodes are like beacons guiding the direction of the transport fleet, making every effort to avoid unexpected situations such as yaw in the fleet.

After each short pause, the fleet will recover all minor problems caused by information offset differences as quickly as possible, and then allow itself to move to the next node in the best possible condition.

The route has been completely cleared, and there will be no celestial bodies, aircraft or interference phenomena that will hinder the fleet's navigation. The mighty escort fleet includes super flagships such as the Amps Strike Spear, the Holy Light, and the Holy Kite, as well as core flagships such as the Barrier, Zhenxing, and Qunyue.

But here, they were just the stars that held the moon. The bright moon they are holding is located in the center of the fleet - looking directly at it, it seems to be a bomber that has traveled through time and space. Its vertical tail has been "cut off", leaving only the overall columnar shape. The "fuselage part" is tightened into a cone at the bow end and a pair of huge, arc-shaped and thick delta wings connected to the rear end of the fuselage.

This bright moon that is praised by the stars does not have many characteristics. In fact, its most conspicuous feature is only one - huge. Its own size has surpassed the World Vein Tower, becoming the second largest mass-produced single entity in the empire system after the World Branch Zenith Tower. It is the largest and strongest giant transport ship in the empire. Only it can bear the heavy responsibility of transporting such materials.

Wrapped in several layers of joint shields, it sailed smoothly, crossing star seas one after another, and together with its many "brothers and sisters", sent these data to their destination-the empire's central data processing center. There, the corresponding data from all ships will be analyzed and studied together. After a series of extremely strict final quarantine procedures, they will be captured and absorbed by this huge and closed facility, and finally integrated into a unified model. .

In theory, what this model could look like wouldn't be too complicated - it would look like a lid that's been flipped over.

However, every point in this huge model, every curvature inside, and the ink that draws them are mixed with blood and tears.

"Confirm the overall isolation status of the data analysis center - the isolation status is good, and the backup system and redundant facilities can replace the current whole at any time."

"Data quarantine is in progress. All data quarantine has been completed, all data is normal, no dead tide pollution and its traces have been found, no abnormal proliferation points have been found, and relevant data can be input."

"Enter relevant data. Delineate storage partitions. Related resources are preloaded and can be put into use at the highest power at any time."

"The data has been input, and we have started to check the differences between the algorithms used in each set of data and the original parameters. All the original data has completed multiple backups and been packaged separately. The comparison has been completed, and the unification of the original parameters and related algorithms has begun. The unification has been completed, and the data union has begun."

"No dead tide pollution or traces were found, and the overall operation of the equipment group is in good condition."

"Part of the data is lost. Call backup and re-enter. Abnormalities occur in some areas: After joint data research, it was found that differences in initial parameters and differences in related algorithms will lead to huge differences in results. In accordance with relevant requirements, all statistics with this For data with similar attributes, the differences before and after must be reflected in the model. Where the difference is too large, mark it as doubtful about the specific situation, and record the relevant test site coordinates as a reference to facilitate further targeted exploration tests in the future. .”

"It has been confirmed that the covariance of each set of data has been confirmed. Unified modeling has been started. The empire territory model has been loaded. The relative coordinates of the Void Fierce Sun of all test sites have been loaded. The mapping relationship of the loaded model generation algorithm has been determined. Start generating the model."

The empire's "Void Map" has been polished countless times over the course of hundreds of millions of years to a very high degree of accuracy and perfection. However, one part of the past void maps of the empire was always missing - the territory of the empire was theoretically not limited to order and the void that could be reached after leaving the world barrier. In the Death Tide realm, which is inaccessible in any other way except through the gate, there is also a part of the empire's "territory": the Death Tide Stability Shadow.

After a series of complex transformations, the territorial model of the imperial order that was supposed to extend endlessly in all directions emerged with a clear "bottom layer", and beneath this "bottom layer", the model presented an eternally rolling In the strange field of unstable black-red twisted vortex, the activity of some points gradually stopped.

At first, they were very small, so small that even the beings of the empire could not detect their existence with their extraordinary perception, but they seemed to be alive. These still points began to expand rapidly, and began to "freeze" the never-still fog. The points are connected to form a line, and the lines are connected to form a surface, so the dead tide area is cut apart - above the cutting surface, the activity of the dead tide tends to stagnate, while below the cutting surface, the dead tide never stops. The clouds and mist continued to billow.

This is what a dead tide stability shadow "looks like".

The closer one gets to the center of the Empire's territory, the thicker the shadow becomes; the closer one gets to the current frontiers of the Empire, the thinner the shadow becomes. After integrating some of the data collected by the empire from the test sites of "satellite civilizations" outside the main territory, the shadow of the stability of the death tide fluctuated violently like an up and down cliff outside the borders of the empire. But - this is not the end of this shadow.

".Empires do have their own shadow of stability."

"But this shadow is not only created by us. The previous civilizations that your majesties have mentioned many times have created all of this more essentially than us..."

"Σ."

…

"Send the model to the departments in need for further research. After confirming that the relevant data is completely desensitized, it will be written and published to the public by Yousi. This is a milestone event. All participants are Hero. For all individuals who were injured or sacrificed in the operation, we must pay the highest level of attention and handle all the aftermath." Faced with the report, Vidoville nodded seriously, "Go ahead."

"yes."

"Outline. Has this been expanded? I can confirm that this part has not been shown in detail before. It seems that this part will gradually become richer with the increase of authority and accumulation of experience?"

xs4028 knows that the content he has seen before can basically be said to be just the surface of the surface - in fact, if you look at the mapping connections that have beginning and end, you will know that there are many, many stories that have not been shown. They are relative to themselves. They are still hidden, and they need to wait for you to explore, or they will come to your door after you reach a certain level.

However, when these stories really came to my door, I was still a little surprised by the changes they brought about - for example, instead of taking trains and flying cars to receive intermediate education, I took a spaceship instead. And the journey that I need to take to "go home" and "go to school" is no longer a few minutes' drive, but a flight of dozens of minutes. Correspondingly, the distance between two points is no longer the distance between two buildings or the city edge and the city core, but spans an entire huge structure called a "river system".

When he first learned about this situation, he almost planned to confront the empire's administrators directly. Because this is something that is full of deliberateness and reduces efficiency, and may even increase the risk.

Later, I realized the purpose of all this arrangement: It is said that in these different stages of education, students have to receive education in various environments, from being on the planet, to crossing the river system or even the entire land. Star sea, to cross the world (?) and need to go to the original "natural environment" to live for a long time, and learn how to live in the original way

It is said that the empire does this in order to allow all living beings to have a memory buried deep in their souls. Once one day there is a large-scale turmoil or even collapse of the empire's technical system, this memory can ensure that the empire's life can survive the drastic changes in the environment. survive

Theoretically, it's not impossible. Although he has not come into contact with the relevant official records, xs4028 roughly understood that before his own civilization, there was a void civilization that was many times more powerful than his own civilization by piecing together some of the fragments of information he obtained. Died for various reasons.

If such an event did happen in the past, then there would be no problem for the managers of their own civilization to make such a plan. And in terms of possibility and the story that I like to use to measure all things, this is not something that can be directly considered impossible - at the same time, impossibility often means absolute, and absolute stories often have different meanings. Co-variant, such stories tend to perish before they can be written long enough.

"It's just... if such a possibility really arises, what kind of extreme preconditions will lead to such a result? And under such extreme conditions, what will happen to everything in reality... What about his performance??”

"Remind all passengers that this flight is about to arrive at College Station. Please be prepared. Synchronous transmission will begin within three seconds after the ship docks. Please ensure that you have registered all necessary belongings. For the first time using this system Passengers reminded that the number of adaptations of this system is three times. After the corresponding number is exceeded, the losses caused by non-emergency situations and non-system failures will be borne by the relevant responsible persons..."

"Tsk... It's obvious that people can directly rely on their own instant positioning, but there have to be so many extra steps... But it's true - after adding these, the story process is much richer... But why does it have to be done this way? Will it become fuller? There should be other ways to achieve this, right?"

Before these thoughts had finished running through his mind, xs4028 had been accurately and smoothly sent to his location by a new system that could support space-scale transmission.

The environment here is almost the same as before: a large, bright and spacious classroom with simple furnishings. The room is stepped and concave from back to front. The podium, tables and chairs are still there, but according to the light patterns flowing through them and the densely packed Judging from the wake-up button, the functions of "them" that appear here should be much more powerful than the functions of the corresponding facilities in the classroom where I received primary education.

"Speaking of which, although this classroom is more spacious than the previous one, the arrangement of desks and chairs is very sparse. And judging from the overall student number and list, I can already confirm that this school is responsible for providing intermediate The enrollment of educational service "schools" is smaller than that of primary education schools. It seems that those contents are true - after primary education, many individuals will not choose to continue to receive secondary education. They, they, they will choose to cancel their own education. Number and life"

The relevant outline shows that life has just entered order and has the right to "regret" at all times when it holds fourth-level authority. It has the right to choose to cancel its current "encapsulated state" and let its soul return to its previous state. In the "Birth Warehouse", "you" have the right to choose whether to reappear in the world or simply disappear completely.

Because of the existence of such individuals, the empire's unique life identification numbers are out of order. Even if a large number of individuals in a batch of identification numbers cancel their lives and existence before officially integrating into the imperial society, the remaining parts will not be affected by this. and how clearly affected

"Controlling life...even if it is oneself, can one really control and deal with it in this way when faced with one's own life?"

Thinking of this, xs4028 felt a little weird in his heart.

"Learning without thinking will lead to failure; thinking without learning will lead to peril."

"Don't forget that everything in the world does not always follow the path of maximizing efficiency and maximizing ideal results. Before our ancestors, from the moment green light replaced purple light, this truth has been exist"

Such an echo suddenly occurred in his mind.

"That's right. It's still a while before class starts, so let's watch the news first." Regarding my uniqueness, as I become more and more familiar with myself, in this aspect, I am no longer the same as before. I am cautious and timid.

Even if you directly browse these pages without avoiding others, there will be no problem. Unless you directly invite others to watch, or some authorized people can see the content of the pages they see, others can They noticed that they couldn't see what was on the page they opened publicly, and at the same time - they didn't care about this at all.

From this point of view, the scope and precision of the huge system covered by the word "empire" is indeed very high, so high that it may be able to touch every detail of all its actions.

However, after the page was activated, xs4028 quickly noticed the difference between the new information interaction page and the previous page: the previous interactive page had entities, and they actually appeared in their own time and space. At the same time, those past pages can not only be seen by you, but also by other people. But now, no entity appears in front of my eyes, but the information I want to access is still unfolding in front of me - they seem to appear directly in my feelings!

Empire Core News Network—Top: The stability of the dead tide shadow has been directly confirmed, and the first high-precision full-territory dead tide shadow intensity distribution map has been obtained.

"Dead Tide Shadow Intensity Distribution Map?"

xs4028 visited this content with half curiosity and half awe. My understanding of the Death Tide is limited, but I know that for the Empire, and even for all order life, the Death Tide has been one of the most terrifying disasters in the void from ancient times to the present...

"3,050 deep submersible vessels of the same model simultaneously penetrated into the dead tide field, and they jointly completed this joint detection. This detection made up for the major shortcomings of poor coherence in the current dead tide detection system, and determined the joint cooperation in the dead tide field. Explore the feasibility of action..."

"It is currently determined that the shadow of the stability of the death tide comes from the civilization of order. The "rules of order" of the civilization of order and their decision to resist the disaster of the death tide jointly determine that the power of order has great resistance to the death tide at the macro level. and repulsive force. Currently, further research on the reasons for the change in dead tide shadow intensity is still ongoing..."

"In this operation, a total of 325 deep-diving ships were lost, a total of 2 test worlds were lost, a total of 15,343 lives were lost, and 35,648 independent living individuals suffered the irreversible effects of death tide pollution. Among them, there were 763 specific causes of death. It is currently difficult to clarify, and identification activities related to it are still ongoing. Related records of lost lives, ships, and worlds have been exported and sent to the monument area for final entry."

".I see, and if so, it would make sense that a story like this could have an inspiring connotation without fundamentally leading to a lighter atmosphere in the larger context."

"This is indeed a grand feat, but while causing considerable losses, this operation did not touch the frontier parts of the field of death tide research that have encountered difficulties. This result cannot reverse the fact that the death tide is still dangerous. The actual situation. It can alleviate quite a few superficial and secondary contradictions, but this result is not enough to touch the essential contradiction between the empire and the death tide."

xs4028's brows frowned slightly, but at this time, the clock system reminded him: it's time for class.

"Classmates, class is here~" On the podium, a clear female voice attracted everyone's attention: "Not long ago, I believe you have had a preliminary understanding of the differences between intermediate education and primary education and are ready. Then, let's Let’s get down to our main topic~”

"Oops, why do I have an ominous premonition——"

The shape of the transport ship can be compared to the British Vulcan bomber.
