Star Empire
Chapter 415 Pages from the Past (A Brief History)
"...In total darkness?"
"Yes - the Crusade Chronicles were very dark for the life of the Imperium for a long time."
"this……"
"No one expected that such a situation would arise. Although the empire at that time was in dire straits, it had actually gone through a long period of recovery - time may not be able to repair the body and soul, or fill the gap that has been destroyed. Broken culture and memory, but it can eventually smooth out the sharp edges and calm the restless waves of the sea - a new life should stand on a more positive and free starting line."
"…Why is this happening?"
"The teacher doesn't know either."
"You don't know either?!"
"Yes - the teacher doesn't know, and there is no final conclusion on these matters within the imperial academic community. No one has compiled a set of covariant and reasonable methods that can make everyone who cares about this matter think "at least there is no conflict" explain."
"……well."
"At the beginning, no one noticed anything unusual...or, in other words, there was nothing unusual at all - after all, at that time, all fields were starting over."
New ideas collided with new sparks, and new needs showed the current shortcomings. After people standing in a higher position stepped out of the shadows, they who could see farther away also began to prepare for the future... This is normal. Occasionally, some individuals will be unwilling to cooperate or raise some weird questions and opinions, but this is too normal. Even if we look forward from now on, we will measure new developments with a higher vision and more stringent standards. There will be no problem if it is the beginning of the era. "
"But... as a new disaster breaks out, some things seem to have been quietly tampered with..."
"The two eruptions of the fault zone directly led to the new empire in the Expedition Chronicles-perhaps it can be said that the Fourth Empire experienced the first large-scale out-of-control event of ideological trends. This event concretized some of the abstract concepts of the empire. ——The aggregation of thoughts, the product of emergence, this is how we now define the attributes of "His"."
"He did not exist for too long. Although his identity as "the embodiment of the abstract concept of the empire itself" makes him seem difficult to deal with, at the top of the empire, the two people who have ceased to grant authority to the outside world - it can be said , they are more powerful than the Empire itself."
"this……"
"The weight effect took effect, and after the fierce directional ideological trend was fully weakened, the two emperors at the top of the empire launched a narrative attack. He was scattered and returned to his "normal" state - his body that should not have a tangible outline The body melted again. The first bottom-up ideological event of this nature and scale in the history of the empire temporarily came to an end. However, at the beginning of this troubled year, these were only "small incidents" limited to a short period of time. question"."
"Can this be considered a "minor problem"...?"
"Use your ability, Kryz. If these events were already a big issue at that time, then almost the entire first half of the expedition chronicle does not need to be described with words like "darkness". Although these events are huge, But they’re not the main thread yet.”
"So... what is the main plot?"
"The part of the empire that was not taken seriously at that time...there were new beings who would openly question the experiences of their predecessors and deny their views and ideas."
"Isn't this...isn't this normal??" Kriz took a breath, "If this is the "main line" of the issue...doesn't the empire not allow thinking and opposition?"
"Of course this is normal in itself - but if some external factors penetrate and catalyze the contradictions, causing the problem to continue to intensify in the wrong direction... that would be abnormal."
"Suddenly - a violent civil war swept through most of the empire."
"Civil War?!" Seeing this, Kriz frowned tightly.
In the picture, the entire territory of the empire is painted with layers of red, as if a naughty child is using a brush to sway red paint that comes from nowhere - every red dot in it is... Corresponding to a rapidly expanding battlefield.
Every battlefield seems to be divided into two opposing sides. The boiled sea of stars constantly releases invisible tsunamis and walls of light towards the upside-down "other side". The violent collision between the torrent of information continues to tear and flatten the spatial structures, causing them to continuously form scars that can never be healed...
"How could this happen? Why did the empire's authority system allow civil war to occur?"
"The empire's authority system is not indestructible - after all, the empire's authority system is also made up of information. Although the information that makes up it is extraordinary information such as crystal energy, even though it is programmed with a large number of logical judgment modules and coordinated by a large number of mathematical formulas It has a relatively complete structure, but in the end it does not surpass the unity of information, nor is it more special than other information in the void."
"As long as the intensity of the external disturbance is high enough, the empire's authority system can certainly be disrupted or even destroyed."
"My head... hurts. What did I recall?" Kriz held his forehead with his hands, and some strange and familiar scenes emerged from his mind - countless questions came from all directions, the broken golden ocean and the cold darkness... Dismembered by oneself, in countless fluctuations, hatred and opposition continue to intensify conflicts, the problems become more and more intense, and the strife seems to never stop...
"Some words must be said to you alone, and some things must...be known only to yourself."
"Huh?" Kriz suddenly realized that these words were echoed by his teacher.
"The empire is not sure of everything yet, but the latest results have been sent back - the way you were born may be very special. In a sense, you are an individual that spans the entire era of the empire, and you may not have direct memories of those things, But in a sense – you’re a witness to everything.”
"After the civil war...what happened again?!"
"The civil war lasted for tens of thousands of years. At its largest scale, two out of ten empires were caught in the flames of war. This civil war was forcibly stopped by the Void Sun and the flagship using narrative power. However... the follow-up Problems keep coming.”
"Hostility begins to spread throughout the Empire."
"Hostile?"
"Yes, hostility. The empire at that time...everything under the empire seemed to be filled with anger that had nowhere to vent. Everyone would be hostile and attack whatever they saw and felt, even if it made them Feeling nothing at all dissatisfied.”
"This is not formed overnight. The breaking point of these emotions may initially be some unfair rulings, abnormal behavior or inaction. These things that were only one in a billion or billions at that time They were quickly amplified in sensitive environments and forcibly presented to everyone - some of them were handled relatively appropriately, and some were not."
"As for the reasons why they were not handled properly... some events have expired and they should no longer be traced, while some events are related to the permission network and they were interfered with by the permission system."
"Are these...the "triggers"?"
"You can think of it this way. A small number of injustices trigger the anger of the wisdom that knows them, and these angry wisdoms will magnify these originally inconspicuous stains... This cycle continues to iterate and accumulate, and eventually crushes the bearer Bottom line.”
"After that, the loss of control in behavior further promoted the "darkness" in the early and middle era."
"action……?"
"When the empire's legal and authority systems are unable to produce results that satisfy everyone amid the waves of public opinion that are constantly changing directions like a whirlpool, some radical individuals may change the results on their own so that they can control the results." satisfy"."
"What?!"
"So...Kriz, there is no need to say more about the next thing, teacher. Your own strength should be enough for you to understand why countless people thought that way during that time, and you were directly labeled as "The Dark One" Bar……"
"..."
...In that kind of environment, perhaps it would be more despairing than facing a powerful enemy or an endless battlefield.
No matter how powerful or powerful an individual is, it is difficult to achieve "perfection" - one thing cannot satisfy everyone absolutely. In that terrible era, any negligence or any lack may cause dissatisfaction from others. And the dissatisfaction of others brings... consequences that are completely unpredictable.
Countless clips of scenes flashed before Kriz's eyes—the scenes in those clips were nothing short of ridiculous.
The reason is absurd. For a matter for which the responsible party was originally very clear, the responsibility was shied away from the responsible party for some reason.
The process is absurd, and the difficulties that should have been solved by the system have not been solved even after the footprints have spanned several worlds.
The results are ridiculous—delayed, broken, and unresolved.
The consequences are horrific - new grievances are widely publicized, and countless lives are labeled on responsible subjects who should not be affected in the first place.
A person, some people, some creatures - they go against the grain, they make themselves conspicuous, they stand high on the opposite side of the public, what they do is deliberately going against all the original trends, they In order to attract attention, countless criticisms, anger and scolding were swallowed up by the invulnerable and invulnerable hippie smile. Such behavior is deliberately implemented and expanded until the guys who do it are terminated by external forces - regardless of whether the external forces comply with the rules set by the empire.
A little dissatisfaction caused the dissatisfaction of countless spectators, and the dissatisfaction of these spectators in turn caused the dissatisfaction of more passers-by. Countless people were the same party and opposed to each other, and the rhythm was like an out-of-control tide. They boiled in the network of the empire. With this spread across countless The huge highway of the world, this information spreads everywhere, the huge disturbance caused by one event can last for thousands of years, and its scope of influence may even be enough to span the entire empire...
"Why is this happening?" When Kryze saw that a controversial internal transfer had caused casualties on both sides of the empire, he couldn't bear to watch anymore.
"I don't know where the initial momentum came from - and I can't find out. These actions are like the parts that were once missing and now have to be repaid, pouring out from everywhere, and suddenly changing the direction and development trend of the entire civilization. . In this regard, the imperial academic community has put forward a variety of hypotheses, such as the theory of cultural deficiency, the theory of void disturbance information anomalies, the theory of information background environmental changes, etc. However, in the end, these hypotheses cannot avoid "using hypotheses to prove hypotheses". "The endless loop."
"However, the real reason that led to the empire's "darkness" at that time was more than that. In other words, out-of-control rhetoric and increasingly intensified confrontation were only part of the reasons. "Out-of-control actions" were the main reason."
"Determining the nature of incidents when dealing with life is a very serious matter. They must comply with imperial laws, but under the premise that it is out of control, due to the incomplete network function and the huge scope of such actions, it is difficult to follow procedural justice. Without timely control under the premise, these out-of-control actions began to squeeze out the authority that should be owned by the Empire and the Imperial Network."
"In other words - at that time, quite a few people in the empire believed that... an isolated wave of thought, or even just himself - had the ability and authority to judge the behavior of others and the lives of others."
"Think about it - what a terrible scene this would be, because one's own dissatisfaction can end others. In that era of emotional control, most people went crazy while their own lives were completely lost. "
"Hasn't the Empire...managed these things?"
"How could it not have been done...announcements, legislation, controls, even armed takeovers of fleets and even force suppression...these conventional means can only have a temporary effect, because we don't know why such a thing happened. And the source influence cannot If you remove it, the problem won’t be solved.”
"If the problem intensifies until it is out of control, the method that has solved such problems many times has been put on the table again - restart, using narrative bombing to directly attack the entire empire, eliminate abnormal individuals, and force the empire to correct its mistakes and start again. Been here... This puts the managers of the empire and the primitives who make up the empire directly on completely opposite sides."
"All this... went on for a long time."
"Teacher...I, I feel uncomfortable..."
"Me too, I don't want to... hear it anymore."
"It's understandable. This is a normal reaction. You should rest first. If you have any other discomforts, please tell the teacher in time." Kriz could hear that his teacher seemed to be smiling slightly when he said these words. The ground sighed.
"Teacher, how long has this situation been going on?"
"Five hundred billion years."
"This - five thousand... billion years?!"
"Yes, Kriz. Look." A picture was placed in front of Kriz. "Look, what is this?"
"It seems like the starry sky...the river system?"
"What do you think...is this river system different from our current river system?"
"Well... this river system seems very blurry, and something is covering up the stars. Those mist-like things... rarely appear in the starry sky I see."
"Yes, Kryz. These mists are actually very similar to the "nebulae" in our home universe a long time ago. And these nebulae...guess what they are made of?"
"...If you say that, then these are..." Kriz's pupils suddenly narrowed: "Are they 'them'?! Are they the...remains of those killed lives?!"
"……yes."
"How could this happen? This...this is how many lives have been..."
"Fifty hundred billion years... During these five hundred billion years, the boiled blood and the remains that were not cleaned up in time were scattered outside the home. Countless worlds were shrouded in dark mist, and many universes Large-scale networks have "nebulae" that should not exist... If such an environment cannot be called darkness, then what other environment is worthy of this term?"
"While such a harsh environment is destroying the logic and rationality of intelligent life, it is also shaking the foundation of the empire. Due to the collapse, the empire is in a state of emergency almost all the time, and the empire's management still has a large room for maneuver. Therefore, while it is still there, Over a long period of time, the empire's academic research and necessary foreign military activities have not been greatly affected by this."
"However, as the situation intensified, chaos eventually spread here - no matter how powerful and superior the empire's management is, they are just managers who manage the empire's huge power. The real huge power of the empire comes from the people who make up the empire. Countless individuals. They come from the vast and vast base. And the foundation is so chaotic, what can the towering spire...how can it rely on to maintain the entire tower?"
"The contradictions between intelligent groups are becoming more and more acute, and races are becoming more and more hostile to each other - life that uses crystal energy is hostile to life that uses arcane power, humanoid life is hostile to field life and Zerg, and Zerg hates the fusion of life and the evolutionary matrix Such a "soulless" life... everyone is hostile, and everyone is hostile to other existences. Endless confrontations break out again and again in such an illogical environment, as if there will never be an end. .”
"Even the blazing sun...doesn't have the ability to reverse all this?"
"Looking at it now...no. The weight effect can weaken the intensity of abnormal phenomena and stabilize the environment, but the blazing sun under normal conditions cannot directly distort and tamper with the environment. The latter two points do not rely on the weight effect. It’s narrative bombing.”
"Your Majesty Vidoville has already done this - to no avail. Because the story has been continuously polluted, but no one can find the corresponding source of pollution, and no one can find why the penetration has been so deep, but there has never been any The reason for the obvious aura, we don’t even know if this is an abnormality. If it is an abnormality, at what moment did the abnormality begin... Since we don’t know these, then the story of the new life will only make the problems that have occurred before Just show up again."
"……Then what?"
"The entire empire seems to be falling apart. All the negative emotions, negative factors, and unreasonable events that have ever occurred burst out crazily, as if to fill the vacancies in this aspect of civilization. After many times, it seemed like a fixed process. People in the catastrophe began to become confused. They didn't care about their own lives, nor did they care about others. The original restrictions and bottom lines have disappeared. Rather than saying that they are lives, it is more appropriate to say that they are walking zombies..."
"And the empire itself... After experiencing such a long period of violent destruction, Xingming's civilization and culture suffered great damage. Even if we look at the entire empire, there is not much that contains "civilization" and "culture" in the entire empire. The empire itself and the beings in the empire can be regarded as living carriers of civilization and culture. But...as you can see, they are all riddled with holes."
"The cultural development and technological progress of the empire have all stagnated or even regressed. As the intensity of inheritance is getting lower and lower, a lot of knowledge has been difficult to effectively transmit. Coupled with the continuous large number of deaths in the empire, a lot of knowledge and information cannot be transmitted. Understandable, cannot be interpreted.”
"Why is this again? Is the carrier that transmits this knowledge and information also contaminated or destroyed?"
"These possibilities are not ruled out, but the main reason is as I said before - ah, there are some key points here that I have not explained clearly. If I explain them more clearly, you may understand."
"For a long time, advanced knowledge was difficult to transfer because it was difficult to understand."
"Is it difficult to understand? Is it because they are too complicated or involve too much content, and require learners to have a high level of knowledge to understand them?"
"No—it's because the scholars who mastered them inadvertently made them difficult to understand."
"This...how should we understand it?"
"The empire in the early days of the Expedition Chronicle was still recovering from the ruins of the war. Although the barbaric development of the Decision Chronicle had made the empire's technology have a high ceiling, these technologies were not well integrated. You can understand it this way - you are now The knowledge learned in one course may be contained in thousands of fragments of knowledge systems at that time. And these hundreds of fragments may require more scholars to exhaust their lifetime learning to piece them together."
"At the same time, format issues and habit issues have also brought huge difficulties to the inheritance of knowledge and information. Problems caused by the barbaric development of technology include the inability of civilization and culture to keep up - the same new technology or a new theory After their emergence, the empire’s existing languages had no words or sentences that could express and summarize them, and the logical structure and mathematical language were not completely unified.”
"Therefore, it is very likely that only he himself will understand the knowledge and theory system that a scholar has mastered. Even if the habits of those scholars change over time, they may not be able to understand what they have written. And When it comes to exchanging and transmitting this information, what seems to him to be a clear and unambiguous combination of words may appear to others to be a garbled mess of specious concepts.”
"It seems to say a lot, but actually says nothing - such comments were very common at that time. As for high-tech such as Vientiane Expression... Until now, it is still high-tech."
"Hmm... didn't the empire have any measures to deal with these problems at that time?"
"Of course there is, but the empire is too big. And considering that the empire was riddled with all kinds of diseases at that time, no matter how good the policy is, it will take time to implement it. It is necessary to propose laws that can be applied to the entire empire, at least most of the empire. Regulations and policies also take time. The normal time in the early years of the expedition is now blurred, with estimates ranging from tens of millions to more than a billion years."
"Because the estimates are based on different bases, it is normal for the results to be different - but they are still too short, not short enough for the empire to stand up from the mess."
"It's still... unimaginable."
"It's normal."
"Teacher, what happens after this? I don't know the specific details of history, but since I am here now and living well, it means that the empire must have survived that dark past."
"Yes, and...the factors that helped the Empire survive that period of darkness are familiar and common to the Empire."
"...What is it?"
"Natural disaster, fault zone."
