Star Empire

It is said that... after one "day" of intermediate education is over, those freshmen who have just started to receive intermediate education can count the three directions to at least ten...

It is said that... Intermediate education is the stage that most discourages "new students" - not only new students, but even new lives are discouraged. A large number of new lives will choose to write themselves off during this stage...

It is said...

Needless to say, the rumors are basically true. And...even if it is the same thing, if you have heard about it (rumors), seen it with your own eyes (watched the class videos of your seniors), and actually faced it (taking the class yourself), they are completely different from each other.

Primary education...it roughly tells students two things: first, what the world they live in is roughly like. Second, as an imperial life, when encountering trouble or meeting people, what should you subconsciously think about immediately, what kind of general "attitude" should you have, and what kind of "style" should you use to deal with things...

Primary education enables these new beings to establish a large framework and have a basic understanding of the empire and everything. Intermediate education, on the other hand, helps students fill in the "gaps" in the larger framework they have established.

The vague framework that students were able to build in a few years took trillions of years to shape into what it is now. And its entire content and details have also been filled in and perfected by countless lives over trillions of years before it became what it is now...

Now, all this needs to be "learned" by the new students of the Empire in a limited time...

"Ah this..."

Before they had time to wake up, these fearless freshmen were drowned in the endless bombardment of endless torrent of information.

"Void is the beginning of everything, and it is also the end of everything. It has no boundaries and no limits. All information, all existence, and all stories flow out of the void, and they will eventually return to the void. Void It contains everything, knowable and unknowable; possible and impossible. Everything is hidden in this peaceful chaos, like a statue hidden in a boulder."

"The study of the nature of void is meaningless. Because it contains all contradictory unity that does not exist, it is impossible for us to accurately define void, and any description of void cannot correctly indicate the nature of void. "

"The void exists, but it does not exist. What we can say, make, and write are just concrete representations that we, as intelligent creatures, use logic and reason to form from the perspective of order. None of this can be real. Corresponding to void - void may be just a false concept imagined, or it may be just an ordinary word that cannot clearly refer to the object..."

"From the perspective of the way order and information are formed, as the final collection of everything, void will always be higher than the highest level that order can develop to. Therefore, as creatures of order, we can never accurately understand and utilize void. We All current systems are located under the framework of order. Under this framework, our research direction and progress direction are [everything] that can allow us to live [better]."

"We will discuss the issues of what is better, what is us, what is living, etc. later..."

"The place we are in in the void is called order. Order is an overall macro system with a large scale and complex structure. It contains everything that is realistically possible for us, and we are inside this macro structure."

"Order is composed of "information". The operation of the macro-order system follows the unified law of information. Everything, including all existence and all phenomena, is composed of the most basic and essential existence of information elements. Information It is a collection of signs of things and their attributes. Information is information, and information can be used as a sign of matter, energy, information and its attributes, and so on."

"Due to their homology, everything in the entire order structure built on the unity of information can theoretically interact - there is no absolute difference between them. Therefore, everything is All things can influence and interfere with each other.”

"A rough model can be established like this: Order is a boundless and bottomless ocean. In this ocean, any form of ripples, waves and currents may appear. They coexist in this ocean, and they can contact each other. Collision with each other, covering each other. Scale, form and quantity can make their interaction have different consequences. But there is no doubt that in this ocean, all the above have the same basic properties and there is no absolute nature. barrier of separation.”

"Wait, wait a minute." The torrent of information came rolling in. Not to mention completely memorizing them and understanding them, it is impossible to just absorb them comprehensively. Even with xs4028's strong physical fitness, he would feel painful when facing such a large amount of information entering his memory and thinking parts without interruption. However, this process seems irreversible and irreversible: the incoming knowledge cannot be deleted, nor can it be prevented from entering. It is as if they have taken root in their own bodies.

"It was definitely intentional."

"Currently, the order is divided into twenty-six parts - these parts are called "Void Quadrants". There are no clear and actual boundaries between the Void Quadrants. In fact, the Void Quadrants are superimposed on each other. Currently , the method of delineating the void quadrant is to use the most primitive mathematical rate engine for calibration - the "applied mathematical rates" between void phenomena cannot be interoperable."

"Therefore, the boundary of the Void Quadrant can be effectively determined using the most primitive mathematical rate engine. Also - existing observation records show that when approaching the boundary of the Void Quadrant, the "original characteristics" of the Void Quadrant itself will gradually blur. This will interfere with the original mathematical rate engine, greatly reducing its operating efficiency. Therefore, the improved original mathematical rate engine can be used as a special void navigation indicating device..."

"Now it seems that more observation records and experimental data support the theory of natural generation in the Void Quadrant. Since this part involves the entire empire's basic picture of the creation and order before creation, it will not be elaborated here. . The part you need to remember is: the Void Quadrant is a real product of the process of natural evolution, in which information groups with similar rules continue to gather together and repel different information groups..."

"The Void Quadrant may not remain unchanged. We cannot rule out the possibility of discovering the twenty-seventh, twenty-eighth, or even more Void Quadrants in the future..."

"Crystal energy, arcana, and white matter, these three basic extraordinary information support all the current systems of the empire. They are blood, they are blood vessels and they also constitute the body. They are the basis for the existence and operation of the empire."

"They are the "first force of the void". Because they have the same "rank" as a whole, they are divided into the same level together with the complete world. The same "rank" or "original existence potential" means Therefore, the information structure with the same attributes has a higher level of structural perfection and corresponding "validity priority" than the level determined as [mundane level], that is, the level of the proper subset information structure within various worlds. Spend"."

"Judging from the currently commonly used extraordinary information, they have the same "attributes" in this field, but we cannot rule out whether there may be new existences in the future that require the rank ladder itself to be redefined. Therefore, everyone needs to ask specific questions. analyze."

After a pause, the "voice" on the podium continued: "...it should be noted here that this noun will appear in other similar words in the future. I believe everyone has learned to distinguish in the primary education stage Whether things are the same or not, you must pay attention to such issues when studying and don't confuse concepts..."

"Based on existing research, it can be concluded that there are countless "first forces of the void" with different properties in the void. At present, the most accepted view is that this is because of the process they experienced when they were born in the void. Consistent, and a consistent process shows that if such a process is dispersed on a ladder, then they are on the same step within the ladder. This is the answer given by the [Rank Theory] that will be discussed later. , we will explain in more detail later on how to divide the ranks..."

"Currently, the extraordinary information widely used in the empire has the following properties: they are not only existences, but also variables, and the source of changes. Due to the unobstructed homologous relationship, in the order structure below this level, these Abstract factors are separated - just like in that environment, although describing objects requires description from multiple perspectives such as matter and energy, these description perspectives do not overlap with each other in the fundamental field."

"If you want to start overlapping, you need to introduce a higher energy level and a more complete and expanded description method. After entering the unification of information and using these extraordinary powers, the various attributes no longer have actual barriers.

For this reason, extraordinary information can manifest itself in such a way, projecting different "attributes" into different "sides" that are linked to each other. This kind of continuous and interconnected sides can also be said in reverse: the unified information is more basic and broader rules, so that the original discontinuous edges are connected to each other, and the original parts that need to be differentiated, described and analyzed are no longer here. It needs to be distinguished deliberately. "

"Next, we begin to introduce the three types of extraordinary information most widely used in the empire."

"Crystal energy is the earliest extraordinary information discovered by the empire. According to the available data, crystal energy is a very "ordinary" extraordinary information that does not contain many original characteristics. Due to its simple original characteristics, crystal energy Energy can accept different types of assignment methods and assignment ideas. Therefore, crystal energy has extremely wide uses, and there are also many types of derivatives and variants based on crystal energy..."

"Arcane is the extraordinary information that the empire first began to use. It is worth noting here - before it was discovered, arcana had already been used by our ancestors. The history of arcane use is even longer than the history of the empire. During the development of civilization, Traces of the use of arcane magic exist in the historical record long before the "post-Confederation structure" was reorganized into the "Imperial structure."

"Arcane has its own unique original properties: Arcane can accelerate the process of change, and during the process of change, Arcane can make the process of change remain covariant. In other words, Arcane can smooth out the possible problems that may exist when the process of change occurs. There are omissions and errors. At the same time, the technical threshold required to assign values ​​to arcana is far lower than that of crystal energy."

"But under the premise of the existence of such "relative convenience", arcane magic also has "shortcomings" compared to crystal energy: arcane magic's ability to induce changes is smaller than crystal energy. That is, if you want to make a nearly identical structure produce a nearly complete The same change requires "consuming" more arcane energy than crystal energy. Due to the different nature of these two kinds of extraordinary information, the empire formed a technological system and technology system with crystal energy and arcane energy as the dominant energy sources respectively during the development process. Magic technology system..."

"White matter is the most special kind of original attribute among the extraordinary information that is still widely used in the empire so far. Unlike crystal energy and arcana, which have multiple derivatives and variations, white matter has only two variations. , that is, original white matter and white matter radiation. Original white matter is similar to crystal energy, but original white matter is more difficult to assign a value than crystal energy."

"At the same time, white matter will transform its own form under certain disturbance conditions to generate white matter radiation. When the information body is irradiated by white matter radiation and then comes into contact with the original white matter, the information body will be completely disintegrated from a level larger than the micro-element."

"In general, the use of white matter is difficult and extremely dangerous. Therefore, white matter is rarely used to construct information bodies - including any actual structures and souls, which are relatively rarely used as a basis. Due to the nature of white matter The original properties determine that white matter has extremely strong destructive power, so white matter is mostly used to form special environments or used in weapons."

"In addition to these three main types of extraordinary information, the empire has also synthesized or discovered many other types of extraordinary information and obtained some different results based on them. However, due to the lack of historical background or co-occurrence, Some basic systems have similarities and other reasons. At present, the empire does not urgently need to develop new technical systems or logical systems based on new extraordinary information. At present, the most used and most widely used extraordinary information within the empire is still crystal. There are three types of energy, arcane and white matter.”

"Extraordinary information has some common characteristics: they can all change their properties by adjusting their frequency. The higher the frequency of the extraordinary information, the more violent its properties will be..."

"More detailed parts will be explained in more depth in subsequent classes..."

…

Even before school ended, the transport ship responsible for picking up and transporting students was already waiting.

The many voyages from now on are destined to be extraordinary.
