Star Empire

Kriz returned home with questions.

In the end, he couldn't remember what he had lost, whether it was because he forgot or for some other reason. Soon, he forgot about it.

…

…That’s probably a good thing.

Contact with an abnormal entity in the void, seeing it and remembering it, even just a little bit, may lead to endless troubles.

…Who knows?

Trillions of years ago, the indescribable shadow was already gradually sinking, gradually approaching a prosperous orderly environment.

The powerful civilizations of the past may have noticed something, but they have fallen and drifted away in the wash of the long river of history.

All this turned into dust.

The fine dust is carried by the wind and blown to unknown distances.

Everything seems to have faded in this vast mist that seems both virtual and real. They no longer have any priority, or even... they no longer have meaning.

Ubiquitous whispers, murmurs that cannot be traced back to their origins, changes that cannot be detected... very slowly.

But they are still slowly pressing down.

"...I still haven't had a good rest. Maybe...should I start taking turns?" As strange fluctuations appeared in the thread of thought in silence, Cavinriel rubbed his eyes, preparing to stop acting like this. way to continue resting. It may still be difficult to use an ordinary "person" to drive a huge, slow and comprehensive thinking that spans the vast territory of the empire.

Everything around him is still familiar to him - the vast hall made of warm and lustrous white matrix material dotted with golden crystal light structure still exists intact, and countless potential functions are surging around him in the flickering lights around him. , like surging blood. And outside this hall, outside the barrier level that is his ship, is the garrison fleet that he may never be able to get rid of in this life.

"The transaction is almost done. After the completion, let's start the rotation process to hand over the authority... Overall, it seems that the interaction between the first day area and most other areas is normal. The 24th day area and the 35th day area Except, they are two groups of radicals at best, and lunatics at worst, sane lunatics... What is going on in the 18th District? What is Marion Wheeler doing-?!"

At the moment when he accidentally uttered the words, Cavinriel felt an inexplicable throbbing deep in his heart.

He saw that every point Marion Wheeler had trodden seemed to be alive, trembling, connected, and smelling sickly. Many things have happened in the past, and most of them have been recorded, but there are also many things that have disappeared in the long river of history without leaving any clear memories.

In Cavinriel's eyes... it was only for a moment, but it was very clear - pink light shone between them, invisible threads emerged from the invisible, and the threads strung them together, forming a huge formless entity... ...It seems to have five sides, it seems to have five corners, it seems to be a pentagon, and it seems to be... a five-pointed star.

Confusion, and lack of words, because the embarrassment caused by them was wrapped in cold sweat, and almost overwhelmed Cavinriel.

"It must be immediate... No, it cannot be. It is impossible for the higher-ups to be unaware of this. If this is not announced publicly, then... this may be the best approach, but if so, how can these things be done? …”

Since I didn't inform myself, then... no matter whether the things I guessed were accurate or not, I can be sure that it was an accident when I thought of them.

You cannot make too large-scale changes without authorization - you are connected to one of the oldest sky areas in the empire, and the sky area is dotted with huge structures of unimaginable scale. If you mess up your position without a plan or a buffer, the panic may soon spread to all parts of the sky, or even to the entire empire...

"Modify the five factors... three times of civil strife... understand the instability of this world, and anchor points... If these are conducive to the progress and development of the empire, then..."

All of Cavinriel's ideas have reached this point, but he has not really derived that result. He didn't know if it would be useful.

In this endless unknown, for me, the unknown and danger have just increased once again - as usual.

But now... I should be glad that I didn't tell anyone about what I accidentally saw during this period of time.

"I still don't have Kalost with me this time. Why do I care about missing an audience member from so many years ago... Well, even if he is here, I can't tell him about it. So, if he doesn't come, If you look for me, then I will probably look for him in the future... ha."

…

After the overview, the details that were unfolded in detail were filled with unimaginable trivialities. As the endless trivialities and precise definitions and formulas came overwhelming, all the fun and the sense of grandeur that accompanies when you are not aware of the seriousness also disappeared. Nothing left.

More information emerged from the storm. They are everywhere and pervasive. Many times, Kriz had suspected that this was intentional - after all, he had even seen recreational facilities and entertainment activities whose cycles were measured in tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years, so why did these educational activities need to be compressed into this short period of time? What if it takes a year and needs to be hard-filled with this kind of information bombardment?

This is as if the word "forced" has been clearly engraved on the current education system, and another attribute of "causing discomfort" has also been bound to it.

"Why?"

However, after asking this question, Kriz could only roughly ask why, and could not think about it any further - such an appearance involves countless causes and effects, and is superimposed with countless layers of decisions.

From "a statement to teach new students to understand that empires and orderly environments are not just about singing and dancing" has been superimposed to the "Ω plan" that seemed to have been abolished just after it was proposed hundreds of billions of years ago. I have no ability to track it down, and it will cost me too much. It takes a lot of time, and the results may be beyond your understanding.

On the other hand, I know that because my ability is at a very high level, once I lose control, it may cause huge dangers, so I cannot force myself to use power excessively, and there are people in the surrounding environment who monitor or even suppress me.

"Save up your questions and confusions, and then go to the teacher to negotiate and see if you can apply for a special opportunity and venue to give your best."

The first priority now is to deal with homework and understand all course content clearly. During this process, Kriz felt that he had not broken apart all the points, crushed them and chewed them carefully, but even if there were some lumps that had not yet been dismantled, it did not seem to affect his ability to figure out the problem.

Sometimes, what helps me figure out the problem is that I start to apply the knowledge or thinking methods I have learned before to this step, or connect them with each other. Sometimes, I see some new phenomena. These phenomena exactly explain my questions. There are also some. Whether or not you understand this part does not seem to be too important. They do not affect your understanding of the whole.

"Hmm" Looking at the exercises on memes and information dissemination "in front of him", Kriz's brows gradually furrowed. It is said that after this lesson, some assignments cannot be completed using the current equipment and environment. They need to be written by hand and even need to be carried to school by themselves. I wonder who the people or things who make these decisions are when these decisions are made. How do you think about these issues?

"I just said it's really true. I really don't know why you ask for it. The homework from the previous period must be compiled and submitted together - you can see, we need to hire a special ship to transport it!"

".You didn't request emergency personal transmission?"

".So many carvings can be crammed in?!"

"Good guy, it's already up to this time, why haven't you read through those specifications and manuals once? Those transmission facilities all have proportional interchange capabilities. With enough computing power, they are almost unlimited, and they can't handle it. These carvings of yours?!”

"So, no one has any objection to the need for engraving to complete the assignment?"

".The teacher is here."

"...Strange?" Kriz, who was waiting for the storm to come, did not feel the spinning feeling that he was familiar with before. He felt that the "atmosphere" around him seemed to begin to form a funnel. The funnel seemed vague, but its bottom seemed to lead to a very, very deep place.

"Everyone~ We have finished the part that we need to master carefully. In the future courses, more content will be more focused on discussion and understanding. You will not have so much pressure in the future. So today, I want to discuss a question with you : We, or in other words, the various supports of the intelligent body in the development process."

"In the process of development, the intelligent body relies on the "structural assistance" provided by the real environment all the time."

"Construction assistance?"

"what is that?"

"At first glance, you may not be able to directly understand the meaning of this, but you may understand it by giving an example - I mentioned before when talking about the field that conclusions can be drawn based on the joint recovery results of multiple departments : The earliest ancestor of the Star Civilization was a humanoid life with a skeleton based on "carbon element". At that time, the civilization developed by our ancestors was still very weak. Of course, the ancestors at that time might not even have To form what we now know as "civilized entities", they need to survive in a completely natural and primitive environment."

“It’s very primitive, very simple, so primitive and simple that we can’t imagine – that’s how it seems to us, but in fact, compared to the truly zero foundation, our ancestors as living beings already have what they have come from the natural environment. The perfect structure given: Our ancestors at that time had a variety of cells, which formed the tissues, organs and systems required by various living organisms."

"They can coordinate with each other and operate efficiently. Even the most primitive ancestors have many sophisticated microstructures and subtle operating methods deep in their bodies. And all of these methods were developed before our ancestors by the more ancient Primitive life was formed after more than billions of years of stacking and polishing. In the process of continuous development and evolution, more and more functions are packaged and integrated, which allows future generations to more efficiently use the genes left by their predecessors. wealth."

"If you don't feel it simply by saying this, then we can give some more practical examples."

"According to speculation, it took our ancestors 70,000 years from the time they confirmed the emergence of the human species to using technological means to directly assemble a non-living individual that can fully reproduce all mechanical movement capabilities of the human body. By the time our ancestors used technology, When a complete independent individual is assembled without relying on primitive natural forces such as fertility and purely relying on technological means, the length of the civilization developed by our ancestors may have exceeded 10 million years."

"Ten million years?"

"It seems that it is not too short, at least it is already very long for us."

"Then how many times can you play the interstellar pendulum?"

"Yes, ten million years is indeed a long time, but if you think about it carefully - mechanical movement was a very simple matter for the ancestors at that time. They only needed an idea, not even a thought, they only needed to react subconsciously They can control their bodies to make various movements, so something so simple for them would take tens of thousands of years to reproduce in technological creations?”

"Creating new life is not that difficult for the original life. It only requires proper mating and nurturing processes to create new life individuals. All of this can be done almost instinctively. However, in Without relying on this process, it would take tens of millions of years of technological development to achieve reproduction and creation?”

Between the lines representing the span of time, questions arise.

"The answer is that this time is spent in the process of acquired technology catching up with the innate "structure"."

"And all of this is just one of countless examples, and examples that can be cited are everywhere. Moreover, the objects of "with the help of structures" are not limited to the natural environment. They can be very narrow, as narrow as a specific individual, or as narrow as a specific individual. It can be very broad, as broad as... everything in the world, including laws. While being restricted by the laws of the world, the laws of the world can also serve as a bridge to maintain the connection between intelligent life and the world, and to a certain extent, serve as a guide for wisdom to rise upwards. way."

"Now we are also relying on the basic structures given to us by the world of order. After effectively using them, we have reached our current heights."

"With the help of the trinity connection of time-space-law in the real world, we can create a basic order field, sail in the void, and have the ability to self-describe and self-affirm. With the help of the basic properties of extraordinary information, we can have Only by crossing the huge differences in worldviews between the void quadrants can we resist the differences in information operations between the quadrants, and only then can we control so many technical systems and reach such a long distance in all aspects."

"The fact that we have reached the current heights is inseparable from the successive efforts of countless predecessors in the empire. This should not be underestimated at any time, let alone denied. But we also need to pay attention at the same time - among these achievements that have been completed, we Standing on many structural heights.”

"This phenomenon... the current empire believes that this is a double-edged sword - when we develop directly upward with the help of existing structures, we can develop in leaps and bounds and achieve larger-scale results at a faster speed. . But while relying on existing structures, some details may be left behind, and if such details continue to be stacked, we ourselves as intelligent life... may lag behind the environment we are in. "

"For example... we don't understand infinity very well, but in the daily operations of the empire, things containing the element of "infinity" are already very common. At the same time, we have used infinity extensively in many aspects... We don't To construct infinity bit by bit from scratch, what we do is to make extensive use of the "itself" of orderly beings that contain the structure of infinity."

"In the process of using and "borrowing", we can use various methods to transform infinity, so that they that are difficult to understand or apply directly can be applied by us - for example, facing different dimensions and time and space Group, we use the Alloal general phase measure to transform the mutation situation that leads to infinitely large/infinitely small information in the observation, and we use the rank rule to integrate a large number of scales and axes that are linearly independent or orthogonal to each other."

"Looking at it now, there is no problem with all this, but the nature contained in infinity is far more than just a simple one that leads to the calculation result being infinite... And this point is difficult to completely eliminate from the root of knowledge. Even if we know , even if we want to change, our "biological base" needs to be transformed on a large scale to be able to "awaken" from this issue..."

…

"I will give more examples for everyone's reference."

"There may be no standard answer to whether the final result of this series of events is good or bad. This requires everyone to think and analyze. And reality will ultimately tell us whether all this is suitable."

"……get out of class has ended."
