Star Empire

"In order to combat the giant malicious meta-meme, the empire formulated a large number of targeted policies a long time ago. But now, the giant malicious meta-meme has collapsed and disintegrated, and its impact has also dissipated. Under this premise , we should make adjustments to relevant targeted policies so that the empire can have better development space in the future."

"First of all, after the situation in the empire is completely restored to stability, we will restart the life array and continue to cultivate new life. Do you have any opinions on this?"

"No."

"none."

"no comment."

"agree."

"Then the next topic is the change of education model."

“Everyone knows that in our previous assumptions, we believed that we might need to fight against the giant malicious metameme opponent for a very long time. We might need to fight a quite long-lasting war that requires facing various complex situations. . Therefore, we have integrated a large amount of war teaching into the current education model. Do you think it is necessary to continue to maintain the current education model?"

"Your Majesty Vidoville, I think the content can be retained. After all, no one can guarantee that the empire will not encounter such a war after this, but I think the model can be changed. That is, setting a longer fixed education stage in the early stages of advanced education. In this educational stage, knowledge is imparted to students in a relatively fixed way. On this basis, the previous teaching stages that contain tests, such as rushing to class and procrastinating class, can be cancelled. It can be replaced by planned centralized training. "

Vera was the first to respond to this question. "Your Majesty, the teaching method we used in the past was to prevent students from being unable to learn and live without the technical support of the empire. As an education model used to deal with possible crises, this model has been It essentially goes against convenience and speed, as well as development trends and the broad demands of the masses.”

"Even if everyone now knows the secrets that had to be concealed in the past due to the contamination caused by giant malicious meta-memes, the essential flaws of this model will still not be fully recognized by everyone. If things go on like this, this teaching model will accumulate Negative emotions are not conducive to the long-term and stable development of educational work."

"Yes." Vidoville nodded, "Is there anything else you need to add?"

"Your Majesty Victorville, we feel that it is necessary to modify some content, and our current syllabus needs to be adjusted." The rotating emperor of the second day area, Arcane Life LV, and the rotating emperor of the sixth day area, No. 33, jointly put forward the modification opinions. .

“Before the fall of the giant malicious meta-memes, in order to prevent the contamination leaked by the giant memes from harming others through education and knowledge, the knowledge taught in the empire’s education system needed to go through hundreds or thousands of links before being allowed to enter. Textbooks, and these textbooks will have tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of years of change, which makes the knowledge students in the empire learn in school too general and backward."

"After students actually enter the work unit, they will realize that there is a certain level difference between the knowledge they have learned and the knowledge currently used in the empire, which will lead to a slowdown in the flow of new forces in the empire. We believe that, The upper limit of knowledge that students can access during their studies at school should be further opened up, so as to gradually narrow or break the "gap" between learning and direct application."

"Okay." Vidoville nodded. Do you have any other questions?

"Your Majesty, perhaps the empire's construction method should be changed, and the fragmented distribution of buildings within the world, the world's veins, and the world's branches should be appropriately reduced."

"Fragmented distribution of the building complex?" Victorville looked at Xihe Wuyi, the rotating emperor of the Eleventh District who asked this question.

"Yes, in order to cope with the long and vicious war that may be triggered by the arrival of giant malicious meta-memes, the empire strives to diversify and comprehensive the environment when building the world. In a world, from desolate planets to primitive ecosystems to various Urban agglomerations can be found at all levels. And such fragmentation also appears in the world's veins and world branches. Although on a larger scale, the distribution of the world is not so scattered, the phenomenon of overlapping and overlapping with each other is still quite large. serious."

"Regarding this situation, our modification policy is to allow different functional areas to be centralized and merged to a certain extent, so that the world and the buildings and facilities in the world will no longer be too scattered and disorganized."

Vidoville nodded, "So, are there any other questions?"

"Your Majesty Victorville, regarding the comprehensive development of the national spiritual field."

"Do you have any other questions?" Victorville looked at everyone present, and everyone shook their heads, indicating that he had nothing to add for the time being.

"Then, we need to decide together whether individuals should remember each other and whether individuals should have the right to have offspring." Vidoville said with his chin in his hands.

"Your Majesty Vidoville, how do you and His Majesty Vesrifan view these issues?"

"Is it really a hot potato?" Seeing that the question was thrown back to him after being raised, Vidoville muttered in his heart.

“My and Vesrifan’s view is that individuals can remember each other, and individuals can also voluntarily form small groups of a certain size based on each other’s preferences, but these small groups will be subject to clear restrictions, and any Individuals should not be qualified to conceive and raise offspring. Except for some forms of special life groups who can raise and educate their own offspring under the supervision of the empire, the cultivation and raising of all other new lives should continue to be completed by institutions directly under the empire. "

"Everyone knows that if there is no strong disturbance from the outside world, all lives in the empire will theoretically not age. Life in the empire has unlimited lifespan. Infinite lifespan means that as long as they are willing, there will always be people who can eventually reach the authority of the empire. The pinnacle of level. And if emotional factors such as friendship and family affection begin to penetrate too much into the empire's authority system, it will be difficult to avoid the fact that these individuals in high positions will provide convenient access to individuals with lower authority than themselves. If If blood connections are added to this, the infiltration speed will probably be greatly accelerated and the severity will become higher."

"At the same time, if we allow or encourage people to freely form partnerships or partnerships with each other, or go further and allow private production and rearing of their own lives, then we can actually think that we have allowed the permission system in the empire. These things can also exist internally. If these things penetrate the empire's authority system, then sooner or later they will threaten the security and justice of the empire's authority system, and we must try to avoid these situations."

"If we do not impose restrictions on this, then after a long enough time, it is very likely that large groups, large families, or large federations formed under various names will hijack or even monopolize the power of the empire within the empire. We must Think about possible crises in advance and try to prevent them as much as possible. At this point, the experience of many civilizations has taught us lessons."

"...I do not deny that these changes may become necessary in the more distant future. But at least in the foreseeable future, we can allow such a situation to occur in a small and controllable manner, but we must not allow this to happen The symptoms are spreading.”

"Um"

"Indeed, Your Majesty Victorville, I agree with these statements." Zhai Cahir, the rotating emperor of the Third Heaven District, nodded, "Although everything in the information world has the self-sustainability to stabilize its own attributes and continue, But everything also has a tendency to gradually stabilize itself - for intelligent life, the obvious manifestation of gradually tending to self-stability can often be said to be "fall". Intelligent life must exert extra strength to resist this A tendency toward “degeneration.”

"Maintaining the empire's authority system and maintaining a healthy flow of life in the empire are important measures to ensure the stable existence of the empire. At present, the empire's authority system can basically ensure that each individual will obtain the corresponding authority after experiencing enough tests. On this basis, their own abilities are sufficient to assume the responsibilities required by the corresponding authority level. And individuals who have experienced jump promotions to the highest level of authority, including all accidents and unavoidable events, the entire empire has increased There shouldn’t be more than ten people standing up.”

"If on the way to authority promotion, there are convenient roads built by using friendship, family affection, or familiarity and other emotional factors, then these fast roads will be quickly occupied by everyone in a way that complies with imperial regulations. And think about it again It’s not easy to recover.”

"Zhai Cahir is right about this." Vera nodded, "The empire's management agencies operate efficiently and have a very high level of credibility, and the people of the empire have a very high level of knowledge and literacy and can carry out efficient operations at critical moments. Mobilization is inseparable from the empire’s long-term effective education and the joint efforts of the people and management agencies, but a correct and positive atmosphere is also very critical.”

"The current emergence rituals can provide positive impetus in the past. But if the environment suddenly changes, the existing emergence rituals are likely to no longer be suitable for the new environment. And emergence rituals and emergence effects It is a trivial matter for the effect to be reduced or even invalid. Once the emergence effect is "contaminated", the problem becomes bigger - the emergence ritual requires a long period of stable operation to see stable effects, which means that after we discover the problem, The problem itself is likely to be serious."

"So Your Majesty Vidoville, my opinion is that from my perspective, I am not opposed to the empire making adjustments in these aspects, but such adjustments must be piloted step by step and "isolated" for a long enough time."

"Your Majesty Victorville, if the empire does not support or encourage major changes in these directions, I will not object." Arcane Life IV asked Victorville, " But if we give up these changes, the empire will also suffer actual losses. These missing benefits can be seen in a relatively short period of time. Now that the empire has suffered heavy losses and is in urgent need of recovery, we must first ensure that the empire can survive. Get through this.”

"So, if both you and His Majesty Vesrifan hold this attitude, I will not object, but I hope that you can come up with a corresponding "supplementary plan."

"Of course, we have considered this before and have talked with many high-level researchers." Vidoville looked at Arcane Life IV and replied seriously.

"Regarding the issue of offspring, while maintaining the prohibition of private cultivation of offspring lives, the empire will adjust the old soul information sea structure and gradually add "high-quality memes" that have passed the test of time and life while ensuring stability and security. This will allow the initial life of the empire to have a higher space for development, and this will be a general improvement and will not be limited to individuals."

"In the future, any high-quality memes that have passed the test of time and life can be added to the sea of ​​soul information. The excellent factors of the empire's life can be directly spread to all people in this way, and continue to accumulate over time."

“At the same time, during the initial pilot period of implementing such a method, even if the basic life levels of the empire are different, more resources will be added later to ensure that the vast majority of individuals will not show obvious differences. In this regard, the empire will not cause everyone to suffer from inequality."

"As for relationships and forming partnerships, in fact the main direction of the empire is to gradually liberalize - even before the giant malicious metameme battle, there was no complete disappearance of small groups and the disappearance of partners in the empire. How could a more relaxed post-battle era emerge?”

"Before the mid-to-late period of the Crusade Annals and before the Giant Malicious Metameme Battle, companionship could basically only be determined between the Sky Zone Rotating Emperor and the Emperor, on the one hand because we were exempt from the "forgetfulness effect", and on the other hand, As a distinct individual, the emperor's behavior can be clearly defined and regulated."

"Individuals at other levels of authority have difficulty clarifying the boundaries of the impact of their actions, so we must be cautious. As time goes by, the scope of partnerships that can be established will be gradually expanded based on the actual situation of the empire. We can even consider it under appropriate circumstances. Decentralize control over perceptual factors - after all, everyone hopes that everyone can develop in an all-round way, so that the overall development and progress of the self can be completely integrated with the overall development and progress of society, but this requires more efforts."

".So, then I have no more comments." Arcane Life IV finally added, "The previous ideas of adapting measures to local conditions and steady and gradual advancement are still applicable now?"

"certainly."

"I don't have a problem anymore."

"Any other questions?" Vidoville asked all the attendees again.

"No, Your Majesty."

"No."

"Then let's adjourn."

Seeing the figures disappearing in front of him, Victorville felt a little sad and confused in his heart.

In the nearly two trillion years that have passed since the Expedition, there is a clear goal guiding itself ahead, which is to accumulate strength to defeat the giant malicious metameme. But with the disappearance of this goal, the next main mission will change from "developing to defeat the giant malicious metameme" to "developing for the happiness of everyone in the empire and the progress of the empire", and it seems that he has never been Very good at facing this goal.

There is no doubt that many of my views may be "old-fashioned", and I am very clear-cut on this point. Vidoville knows this, and he also knows that he is not so popular and respected. This time his decision will definitely push him in this aspect.

None of this matters. It's just that I don't know when my "conservatism" will completely become an obstacle to the empire's development. I don't know how long I can stay with the empire. I don't know when I will need to completely disappear from the forefront of the empire's development?

A beam of white sunlight stretched out from the ground and quietly wrapped around Victorville's hand.

"Your Majesty Victorville, Your Majesty Vesrifan, we have obtained all the personal relics left by His Majesty Cavenriel. But unfortunately, many of the items were seriously damaged. It is speculated that the damage to these objects was caused by the giant malicious prototype. Caused by released pollution.”

"I understand, thank you."

Vidoville hung up the communication and looked at the excavation records one after another. He was silent for a long time.

During the giant malevolent meta-memetic battle, several rotating emperors of the Empire entered eternal sleep. And most of them left nothing behind.

Before dying, they all activated two enhancement modes. The first enhancement mode will burn all their past, and the second enhancement mode will sacrifice all their future - when both enhancement modes are activated After that, this individual is actually a supernova that is temporarily powerful in the present, but has no history and no future.

As the explosion ends, the supernova's light will rapidly dim until it disappears completely.

The corroded Cavernil did not activate the enhancement mode, so he was able to retain some things.

"Old friend. We are missing again."

"Let's go, Wood." A hand patted Vidoville's shoulder.

"Huh? Lil, is it time?"

"Yeah, it's time for us to have a reckoning."
