Star Empire

The large-scale filamentous fibers of the newborn universe that run through the vast space shine in the dark and clear space. They are like seas of fire of different colors burning at the end of the sky.

Shadow - the shadow of the shuttle, the shadow of people, and the many layers of slightly swaying shadows cast by the majestic buildings in the distance. Under the strange night cover, they echoed the new star structure.

"Generally speaking, for worlds with the status of "transportation hub", their world gate facilities will be more special." An unhurried voice came from behind Kriz:

"Entities returning from expeditions often appear tired. Therefore, the pressure they may be under should be reduced as much as possible. The actual way to achieve these goals is to externally perform some computational processing operations that require high computing power on their behalf - such as Jump across worlds.”

"The "World Gate" of the hub world can generate a package field that is far stronger than the general world gate. It is enough to cover the entire world. In this field, all cross-world applications will be submitted to the world loop and processed. Handled uniformly.”

"Ah... wouldn't that put huge pressure on that facility?" Kriz was a little surprised, "After all, such a huge number..."

"The number is indeed huge, but the destinations of the battleships are limited. Facilities do not need to calculate every application. They can combine similar applications into one for unified calculation and then send them back - large hubs have such a function, which This practice is called "merger processing."

"I see... If there wasn't such a method and all the sources were processed in order, I'm afraid the time it would take to do anything would be astronomical..." Kriz nodded subconsciously.

"Look, the battleships are about to make their next jump. This will be a 'split jump.'"

Just as he was talking, the sea of ​​heterochromatic fire across space became active again, and layers of haloes entwined with characters and runes began to emerge from the front of countless fleet matrices.

As the ship itself began to gradually brighten, the stars with standard structures began to advance slowly. After reaching a certain critical point, they suddenly penetrated into the halo suspended in front of them and emerged from this world. disappear.

From a distance, it looks like rolling waves in the main river flowing into different tributaries.

"Ah...how long will this diversion operation last?"

"Measured by a comprehensive reference system, this action will last from a few minutes to ten minutes - very fast."

The long river of starlight flowing in the sky is quickly spreading. The constantly opening and extinguishing cross-world gates and the shuttle of large numbers of fleets spread a series of bizarre scenes.

The strange cosmic veins quickly dissipated and disintegrated. When the last fleet began to sail towards its new destination, the navigation stars that served as beacons also dimmed.

The golden sea of ​​stars familiar to the world lights up again. Everything returned to normal again, as if nothing had happened here in the past few dozen minutes.

"Go back and have a good rest. I guess your fatigue will not be alleviated in this short flight." The teacher standing on the roof watched as Kriz got on the high-speed train and headed home.

"Well, goodbye teacher."

…

"Unify the processing and analysis of test results and related data, and begin comprehensive modeling and evaluation..."

"Analysis is being confirmed...The individual with the identification number xs4028 has narrative analysis power that far exceeds the information reading and analysis capabilities of ordinary void survey radars."

"The individual's recent mental status measurement parameters and physical status measurement parameters are normal, and the fluctuations are within the theoretical threshold."

"...It has been confirmed that when the individual does not actively use its own abilities, that is, when the individual is in a "silent state", it will not cause severe disturbance to the surrounding environment for the time being. This part still needs to continue to be observed and cannot be taken lightly..."

"The world circuit of the test world always fluctuates with the space-time structure reinforcement array. It is confirmed that when the individual is currently using power at its limit, its power has a similar impact on the world as a large-capacity high-frequency crystal energy has on the world."

"The possible ontology and boundaries of narrative singularity have been discovered..."

“His Majesty the Emperor who participated in the analysis of the results believe that the results revealed by this test reveal the next wave of unstable factors: the probability that the individual xs4028/Kryze has weapon-level narrative manipulation capabilities has increased significantly, and it is currently unavailable. Predict how the target's narrative power is likely to explode and how it will actually be used..."

"... Once it breaks out, the individual is likely to cause damage to the surrounding environment."

"Adjust relevant control measures to further strengthen the stability of the world where the target is located, and enhance relevant hints to the target. The void jump beacon will no longer be extinguished, but must be lit at all times. Increase the security protection level of the area where the target is located, and use the entire world as a neighbor. Within the domain, the shield strength of all facilities must be increased to five times its current level without considering the impact of emergent factors.”

"The general flagship will separate an additional thread to manage this matter. If there is an accident, the general flagship will arrive immediately and will no longer use ship shadow projection as a relevant method to deal with ordinary accidents..."

…

Behind the scenes, there are countless meetings and planning going on. But all of this is currently not directly related to the individual Kriz. As for the latter, he has now fallen on his bed - he only hopes that resting in a familiar environment can help him eliminate the fatigue caused by using power.

"Set the alarm... time for me? You can do it before school starts..."

"Intensity setting?"

"..."

"Intensity setting?"

"..."

"Analyze the comprehensive situation and set a low-intensity limited number of prompts..."

…

"Okay, now let's go to class... We have almost covered the theoretical stuff before. Starting from this class, we will talk about some new content that will help you understand reality and the empire."

"Let's start with the basic structure of the empire. You have been in this world for a while, and I believe you already have a certain understanding of the name "Star Empire" and the entity corresponding to this name. Here, We’ll take you a little deeper…”

"The new content... I haven't heard of it before... it seems quite interesting." Kriz muttered a few words, "The Hume value is so low... is this a dream or... ah, it's not in the real world anyway. Speaking of which, can you even dream of taking classes? Then am I a little too serious..."

"First, we need to identify two types of nodes: hard nodes and random nodes. Hard nodes refer to nodes that must exist under the empire's rigid regulations - they specify the upper and lower ranges of different layers in the empire's large framework. These As markers that delineate these layers, nodes are required to be ubiquitous throughout the empire. Students need to remember that the current hard nodes are: finite core galaxy node, river system node, fiber node, universe node, and world node , world vein nodes and world branch nodes. They must exist no matter what the environment is."

"Among these nodes, the node with the smallest scope and the most precise matters that need to be processed is the limited core galaxy node. Its management scope is a "nucleated galaxy" - for example, including our planet (auxiliary star) ), multiple such stars and their ancillary structures will orbit the central star (main star), and this main star is called the "core."

"Generally speaking, within the world created by the empire, in a single nucleated galaxy, the number of main stars that make up the core will not exceed ten. The node that is responsible for the widest range and the most macroscopic affairs that need to be processed is the "World Vein Node" ". Similar to the star network in the universe, the world network is the large-scale filamentary structure we have discovered/created in the void, with countless worlds arranged in it."

“The issues presented from the most basic nodes upward are constantly digested or integrated through multi-layer screening and processing. After reaching the top, the remaining issues are often significant enough, or of special significance and nature.”

"Interesting...the content of the class in the dream was also very good, and it was exactly the same as the usual class..." Kriz murmured in a low voice, "I guess the alarm clock will sound after I wake up from the dream, right?"

"... From an overall perspective, events are often reported and summarized layer by layer, while orders and policies are issued and decomposed from top to bottom. However, this statement has now become a bit one-sided. In the huge empire, In the "pyramid", the rivers containing this kind of information are not as simple as going straight up and down. Outside of these main rivers, there are many circulations that only span a limited level and a limited range, as well as those that skip many A direct channel connecting the top and bottom of each class..."

"Each part of these structures has a considerable historical accumulation. In the past years, the entire empire has been using various methods to coordinate contradictions, making methods and structures more applicable to all parts of the empire. And During these many adjustments, the structure we use now has gradually been shaped by the long river of time.”

"What is certain is that the entire imperial system, including these hard nodes, is not static. What they took shape in the first trillion years may still be applicable in the third trillion years, or it may be in the second In trillions of years, they will be eliminated and undergo a series of dismantling and reorganization... We currently cannot predict with absolute certainty what the future direction of development will be. Therefore, we must also face it with a developmental and forward-looking attitude. Everything that’s available so far.”

"After finishing the "hard node" part, let's learn about random nodes. Compared with hard nodes, the most obvious difference between random nodes is that there are no hard rules for the existence of random nodes. As long as it is suitable for the environment, random nodes Nodes can be organized according to any needs."

""For examples we can see casually - buildings, cities or a single planet can be used as a fixed range to shape a random node. And if you look at a larger scope, several river systems, quadrants, hexagrams, part of the dimensional structure of the universe, etc., or even several worlds and veins can be used as the basis to build such nodes. "

"They are used as transitional structures to make up for the problem of too large gaps between hard node layers. However, considering the existence of differences such as different transactions that nodes of different ranges need to face and different starting points for processing transactions, the empire has introduced specific Legal and normative rules should be used to guide the formation of random nodes. At the same time, if information interaction is required between random nodes, then they must abide by strict benchmarking rules..."

"Benchmarking rules?" In a daze, Kriz heard someone ask a question on this point, but in his own feeling, the questioner seemed far away from him, but he was slightly stronger than the creature in the dream. Some real feelings...

"As we said before - nodes of different sizes will handle different things with different attitudes. For example, if a node is shaped based on a building, if an accident occurs in the building, then the building node will do The response is often to inquire about the situation - repair possible damage - analyze and troubleshoot hidden dangers - report and summarize."

"If this matter is handed over to higher-level nodes, they may consider whether there are unanticipated problems in the design or use of such a building, and whether it needs to be rectified. And if this accident is enough, it will be reported to higher-level nodes. After receiving feedback, higher-level managers may need to consider whether this is a small-probability accident or whether it is related to some phenomenon that has not been noticed or paid attention to before.”

"Obviously, from different heights and different angles, the results obtained by everyone's analysis of one thing will be hugely different - all the results are correct, but they cannot be put together."

"When these things were first set up and started to be used, conflicts between different approaches once led to many hidden conflicts within the empire. Through repeated collisions and running-in, relevant laws and regulations also began to be introduced. Later, with the popularization and in-depth application of emerging technologies, the rules gradually began to catch up with the pace of development, and they no longer had such an obvious lag."

"...Okay, then these are the two types of nodes in the empire - I almost forgot, there is another part I haven't told you, and that is the "support" of the nodes."

"A node is actually the highest management center in a region. It is impossible for such a management center to exist without relying on equipment. The nature of the equipment these nodes rely on is similar to themselves. Hard nodes rely on fixed, Absolutely specified device establishment, while random nodes have higher device freedom."

"For example, take the finite-core galaxy node as an example. The management center of the finite-core galaxy we are in is located on the main star, that is, the crystal energy star surrounded by the auxiliary star. Inside that star, there is a huge In the physical core, there are existential interoperability arrays, shield broadcast arrays, large-capacity information communication facilities, field broadcasters and other equipment that are sufficient to protect this limited nuclear galaxy and assist in its operation."

"At the core of our river system, there are similar fixed equipment groups that affect the entire river system. Such fixed equipment groups are scattered throughout the empire. When it comes to different environments, there may be differences between them. There will be subtle differences, but at a macro level, they are almost the same. Random nodes are different. They do not have a fixed size, and their purpose and use are not exactly the same. Therefore, the specification and atlas are different for them. The words are only for reference..."

"Also taking the place we can see as an example, in the river system we are in, the main random nodes are "constellation nodes", while the main random nodes in the nearby river system are cantilever nodes - the difference here is directly It’s reflected.”

"Hey, this dream is really interesting... Is this an additional dream broadcast? I haven't heard of such a thing before...? Wait, why is the surrounding area flickering?!"

"...You may be curious, how do so many types of nodes form a larger system and how do they work effectively with each other? We will explain this part to you in the next lesson - Kriz, remember to come to the next lesson Attend class."

"What?!" Low Hume's surroundings shattered instantly. The body lying on the bed suddenly bounced up from the comfortable quilt like a spring. Everything around him was still familiar, except for the alarm clock and the layers arranged on the bedside table. The time bouncing on the holographic window in front of him was a bit unfamiliar to him - the vacation had ended at least two days ago.

"...It's too bad!!"
