Star Empire

"...Where is my goal? Where is the huge world that was in front of me just now?"

Kriz blinked hard - he was sure that he was not dazzled and that his target had probably really disappeared.

"...Strange thing." Kriz rubbed his eyes and recalled what he remembered: he did see an unknown fog. The fog could never be accurately quantified, but it felt like it was "above." "It smashed down in the direction, and the Creation Shining was indeed twice.

"These memories really exist... It seems that it was not an illusion just now, that world did disappear suddenly."

"Academic team, help me analyze it -" Kriz planned to contact the academic team that was assisting him to study the current situation. However, just before the communication was connected, an ethereal and disembodied voice suddenly broke into Kriz's voice. In my mind:

"Stop."

"……ah?"

"I did this."

"...Your Majesty Weisrifan?" Facing this somewhat surprising order, Kriz hesitated for a while, "You mean...that the world I was observing suddenly disappeared...was your fault. of?"

"Yes."

"...Why? Your Majesty, you are talking to me now, but I found that the log files recording daily activities have not been updated, which means that the Imperial Network did not detect these conversations... You bypassed the Imperial Network? You How is it done?”

"...relying on the scorching sun wind field. The entire empire is in the wind field formed by the solar wind blown by the scorching sun. The wind field is my domain. Although this field is not very "practical", with the help of this wind field, I guess it’s okay to do some “little tricks” that are hard to detect.”

"...For example, using special methods to establish some secret connections with other emperors and special individuals in the empire, and...eating the world." After a short silence, Kryz once again heard the ethereal sound of Vesrivan. A misty voice.

"...Eat the world?! A small move?!" Hearing this, Kriz almost shouted out - this is not a small move by any means, right? !

".Nothing to be surprised about. In fact, in earlier times, such as before the Decision Era, one of the ways for the Void Fierce Sun to maintain its operation was to devour the world, but the Fierce Sun had certain limitations on the world it wanted to devour. By choice. For example - it will give priority to eating those "unhealthy" worlds, and when devouring the world, the "main course" is the heart of the world."

"main course……"

"... As for what happened later, I basically stopped doing that, because as time went by, the weight effect of the blazing sun became strong enough to anchor the part of the content that needed to be anchored, and naturally it no longer External forces are needed to "add weight" to this. At the same time, Lieyang's internal structure has been further stabilized, and the resources that Lieyang itself can produce have exceeded the consumption value. Therefore, Lieyang no longer needs to rely on external resources to maintain operations. It's time Nowadays, things like eating the world are mostly done “for official reasons.”

"Okay, then Your Majesty Weisrifan, why did you want to eat that world just now?"

"Because that world is located in the bridge area." Vesrivan's originally ethereal voice was mixed with a little noise at this time.

After discovering these noises, Kriz quickly realized that the empire network seemed to be deciphering this small change-it was really fast.

". Worlds located within the Bridge Zone may become springboards that may lead to the leakage of information that needs to be kept confidential. This information that needs to be kept confidential comes from a large memetic research laboratory located in the Dead Tide Realm. Not only that The Void Quadrant where the gate is located, and all areas corresponding to the Void Quadrant must be sealed off. At the same time, Kriz, you need to be careful not to point the Void Sky Survey Radar at this area unless absolutely necessary - "

Weisrifan's voice disappeared.

"...Chairman Kriz, what do you want us to look up?"

After he pulled his attention away from what he had just said out of thin air, Kriz discovered that his academic research team was ready and waiting for his next instructions.

It seemed that the time I had just spent talking to His Majesty Vesrifan was not long in the eyes of the outside world. If the time of the conversation just now was as long as the time I felt, the academic research team would definitely react.

"Help me review the safety rules and corresponding regulatory data related to void detection and void navigation."

"yes."

".A large-scale memetic research laboratory located in the Death Tide field. Is the construction speed so fast? Speaking of which, I haven't noticed this before, but these things should theoretically inform each other."

Kriz began to turn the void survey radar. When the huge eye slowly turned, he took a brief look at the deliberately covered void area that was still outside the empire's borders.

Normally, it would be empty space and only darkness.

But in Kriz's eyes, the only two order fields remaining in that interval were like the most active new stars that were spitting out bright jets. At this moment, they are spewing countless stories into the void. They are the brightest stars in the void.

"It seems that the existing shielding measures are not wide enough." Kriz secretly thought in his heart. "After that, I have to make some more suggestions for modifications to His Majesty Vesrifan and His Majesty Victorville."

======================

The Black Gate Fortress is a national top-secret facility of the Star Empire, a high-risk memetic research center, and a national laboratory specializing in information preservation and information interaction.

The "Black Gate" is a dead tide gate with extremely special properties. Because it has a considerable degree of inertia, this dead tide gate left a very deep impression on the people who discovered it.

The struggle between the Empire and the Death Tide has lasted for trillions of years. During this period, the Empire has seen various forms of Death Tide activities. These Death Tide activities have a clear thing in common: whether they are small enough to pollute A world's Death Tide Gate, or a Death Tide Fault Zone that is so big that it can swallow up the world's veins and even split the empire's territory. They will all spew out fierce destruction and destruction that can spread almost infinitely within the world of order.

However, this Gate of Death Tide is different.

First, its size is terrifying: using the standard unit of the Star Empire as a "ruler" for measurement, the diameter of this Death Tide Gate is approximately three stars of light years - its size is quite huge.

You must know that most of the single death tide gates that appear within the conventional world of order are relatively "small" - even extremely dangerous super super ones that can plunge half of the world into a pollution crisis just by their appearance. The actual size of the large Death Tide Gates is actually not worth mentioning on a cosmic scale.

The solidity of the order itself determines the upper limit of the size of a single Death Tide Gate.

If a single Deadtide Gate becomes too large, its impact will exceed the limits of what the world can bear.

The harm caused by such an "excessive" death tide gate will not be that serious. Because in the process of the death tide pollution pouring out, the door itself will be quickly destroyed.

The Death Tide Gate, which is too large in scale, is very likely to destroy itself directly, or after destroying a large space-time structure in a short period of time, it will be swallowed by the void because the place where it is is falling into the void.

However, no matter what their ending is, one thing is certain, that is, the ending will come very quickly. In other words, the time they can exist is very short. "Stable existence" is a luxury for such a door.

However, this lazy and massive Deathtide Gate is very ancient. Although its exact age cannot yet be determined, some Imperial researchers involved in the survey believe that it may have appeared before the birth of the "Star Civilization".

Second, there is a fairly wide safety zone “inside” it.

This safe zone is relative. If compared with the normal order of time and space, this is still a dangerous place.

The disgusting smell of death tide has not been completely dispelled, they are still entrenched here. They still corrode shields, erode materials, and melt logic, sanity, and health.

However, if the comparison object is the normal part of the dead tide field, this place can be said to be as peaceful as a pool of dead water.

Whether it is the Death Tide Gate or the Fault Zone, they are all directly connected to the Death Tide Realm.

The Death Tide field is currently considered to be the most direct source of all Death Tide pollution. It is boundless and the pollution is raging in this field like a violent storm. There is no corner that can accommodate order and tranquility - this is originally an axiom.

But the appearance of this gate has made exceptions to the objects covered by this axiom.

There is a relatively obvious "edge" in the safe zone inside this gate.

Beyond this safe zone, the dead tide of pollution still rages like the surface of an ocean churned by the fiercest storm. But those bewitching and weird "pollutions" will immediately subside and disappear once they come into contact with the boundaries of this area. While the death wave pollution is being cleared, the boundaries of the safe zone do not fluctuate - this place is quite stable, so stable...

It's like there's a wound in the Dead Tide Realm here - no, it's gangrene.

With these two extremely special properties, this special giant death tide gate has the name "Black Gate". It became the first Deadtide Gate in the history of the Empire to have a fixed name.

Soon after, a group of imperial people came here, and they built the Black Gate Fortress based on the remaining Order Field here and the Black Gate itself.

The Black Gate Fortress is the first giant building in the empire that can be said to be "permanent" in the face of the death tide.

This can become a palace of research.

How terrifying and dangerous is dead tide pollution? Even the powerful flagship of the empire does not dare to stay in the death tide field for a long time, and other creations of the empire cannot even talk about existing in the death tide for a long time.

However, the Black Gate Fortress can not only stay in the Death Tide territory for a long time, or even forever, but there is also a Death Tide environment of considerable scope and stable nature around it.

As long as an imperial being wears the corresponding protective equipment, he can stay almost at will in this special safe zone, and there is only a thin line between the safe zone and the normal death tide area - extract death tide pollution samples, This matter was originally full of difficulties and dangers. But here, it suddenly becomes almost undifficult.

For the Empire, all this was unimaginable before.

However, the scholar group did not come, and the major institutions of the empire did not station here. At the same time, not only is this place not covered by the empire's transportation network, but it is further away from the outside world.

After the completion of the Black Gate Fortress, this special Death Tide Gate disappeared from public sight.

This could have been a palace of research.

Without the influence of the invisible enemy.

Black Gate has been isolated from the world, and there are only two fields of order here. One area was their new home and battlefield, and the other area held all their supplies.

For most people who come here, the moment they make up their mind to step into the Black Gate Fortress, the prosperous world outside no longer exists.
