Star Empire

"The command has been confirmed, start executing the virtual point jump calculation program!"

After confirming the command, the three pilots in the flight control room entered the corresponding command, and they quickly determined the end point coordinates of the first jump of the virtual point jump ship No. 06.

Two invisible huge "tentacles" extended out from the interior of the ship. They stretched out into the distance until they reached the gap between order and void.

There, the intensity of order will be much weakened, and the "void tentacles" extending into such an area can also be pushed out a longer distance by virtue of the lack of constraints.

In a place far away from the current void coordinates, the two "void tentacles" began to approach each other again, and they overlapped. The "imaginary coordinates" originally attached to the tentacles were realized after a series of calculations.

The distant void beacon lit up. At the same time, the beacon lighting up from the distance in the void linked the ship's corresponding computing equipment and cross-world jumping equipment, and a huge world door opened instantly. The moment it entered this door, the virtual point jump ship moved to the end position calculated by itself, without any more intermediate processes.

After the first virtual point jump, the virtual point jump ship hovering steadily in the void began to perform a series of self-inspection procedures in accordance with the requirements of the relevant imperial regulations.

"The ship's power system is operating normally!"

"The ship's control system is operating normally!"

"The status of all working equipment on the ship is normal, all calls can receive feedback, and the response time required for all equipment to provide feedback meets regulatory standards."

"It is confirmed that the virtual point jump ship No. 06 was not damaged after the first virtual point jump. In subsequent operations, the self-inspection frequency will be increased or reduced in accordance with relevant norms and procedures. No. 06 continues to sail, and the route plan is to follow the original Plan." After confirming that the status of all parts of the ship was stable, the three supervisors issued an announcement to other crew members on the ship.

"Flight control room received."

After receiving the order, the three pilots in the flight control room began to repeat the operations that could be performed cyclically. The virtual point jump ship continued to move deeper into the void, away from the order frontier of the empire.

Looking back from the end of the first jump, the branches of the world when the ship set off were like a dragnet with no end in sight. Looking back from the end of the second jump, the branches of the world when the ship set off were like a giant wall of void stretching from heaven to earth. After the ship jumped for the third, fourth, and fifth times, the branches of the world were still majestic, but they could already be seen clearly by the people on the virtual point jumping ship.

After that, this entire world branch began to shrink from the detection image obtained by the radar. It began to become part of the background and began to integrate into the vast territory structure of the entire empire. As the ship continued to jump, the feedback from the empire itself began to become less clear, and a thin layer of fog gradually covered the image projected by the radar.

"The number of jumps has reached nine, start setting up relay stations and conducting routine inspections of ships!"

After receiving the order, the pilots stopped the ship, and at this stage the three operators began their work. The ship's scanning system no longer pays attention to the empire behind it and the surrounding void. They turn their attention to the vicinity of the ship.

"Start tracking, look for the probabilistic lightning chain and determine the main flow direction of the lightning chain. The main flow direction of the probabilistic lightning chain has been determined, and we are looking for the ignition target to confirm and release the world singularity."

A "missile" larger than many small warships was launched by the virtual point jump ship No. 06. The missile started its own engine and left the order field of the virtual point jump ship itself. It moves forward in the void, heading all the way to the marked void coordinates.

It didn't look like anything special there, dark, cold and empty. But the moment the missile reached its target and opened its warhead, changes suddenly occurred.

The first glow was a little dim. It was just a precursor to creation. The second creation glow was the brightest. It broke the coldness and silence of the void. The violent explosion blew a bubble in the void. In this bubble While its exterior cools and solidifies when it comes into contact with the void, its interior is still evolving and changing at a high speed.

The virtual point jump ship changes the relative flow rate of time between the new world and the ship itself, allowing the space-time environment inside the world to evolve to a relatively stable stage within a few seconds from the perspective of the virtual point jump ship.

In order to prevent the natural evolution of intelligent life inside these worlds, when designing and manufacturing these world singularities, the empire intentionally asked the manufacturers to set the time and space environment inside the world barrier to extreme extremes. This can maximize the possibility of birth after the singularity detonates. The world is a world of death.

The space-time constants and laws within the world are limited to the interior of the world. They are incomplete subsets of the world itself. They cannot affect the empire's creations and imperial beings that are driven by extraordinary energy and built with extraordinary materials.

After confirming that the interior of the new world has become stable, the flying wing-shaped virtual point jump ship begins to accept the traction of the world neighborhood generated by this new world. As the two order fields continue to draw closer to each other, the distance between the two sides is as small as After a certain level, like two bubbles stuck together, a bonding area suddenly appeared between two order fields that were not connected to each other. The bonding area gradually increased under controlled circumstances until the two bubbles in the void completely merged into one - the ship sank into the order field and entered the interior of the world.

"Put in the sovereign hub, put in the basic industrial modules, set up the automatic production mode, and determine the routine communication method. The settings are completed. Signature of the puter: 3-2-10-hdjh3246, 6-2-10-iyrqf463, 7-2-10- fqfih4653, supervisor’s signature 2-2-11-aksh1331, 2-2-11-gudjd1317, 3-2-11-cjka7304. The signature is completed and recorded."

This kind of virtual point jumping operation is different from the daily traffic within the empire, which is a void voyage. The empire has spent a long time expanding and improving the transportation network within the empire, so that creations that can support void navigation can be found in every corner of the world, making crossing the void a part of everyone's daily life. Although the Empire has indeed made great achievements in this regard, this does not mean that void navigation has become a very simple matter.

Outside the territory of the empire, in the wild void without the starry void navigation beacons and the world gate network, void navigation is still full of dangers - information deviation, fault zones, and large-scale emergencies that spontaneously emerge from the void. Biological creatures, dead tide creatures, and even strange civilizations may pose a danger to the virtual point jump ship.

In order to transmit the data collected during the voyage back to the empire as much as possible, and also to leave some relatively clear routes as much as possible, the virtual point jump ship needs to create a space in the void after every ten or so jumps. The world serves as a guidepost.

As a beacon, there will be complete sovereignty facilities, relatively powerful weapons and very powerful special void beacons both inside and outside the world. At the same time, these worlds themselves will also have quite powerful maneuverability, which is enough to allow them to avoid the advancing fault zones or the invasion of unknown life forms wandering in the void.

Logically speaking, the virtual point jump voyage did not start not long ago. Although there were many flaws in previous operations, due to the accumulation of time, the empire originally had many mature void routes that had extended to extremely distant voids. However, The emergence of giant malicious meta-memes has completely cut off these originally complete routes. These routes have been broken into countless pieces every five years. Quite a few waterway landmarks have been directly blown away by the storm whipped up by the giant memes. Traces can be found.

As a last resort, while trying its best to restore contact with these waterways, the empire ordered these super virtual point jumping ships to set off from the empire's borders and re-pave those routes to the distant depths of the void from scratch - if in the process , these new ships would be lucky if they could contact those lighthouses lost in the void. If they couldn't, they would have to walk this road again.

The operators are busy setting up various details inside the new world, and the supervisors are not idle at this time. While monitoring the health of others, they are also monitoring the safety of the entire ship.

Various accidents may occur while sailing in the void. When within the empire, the possibility of these accidents is extremely low. However, for these virtual point jump ships that are far away from the empire's territory, as the distance continues to grow, they will suffer The possibility of accidents will increase at an explosive speed - no one can guarantee that during the next jump, the ship itself will generate a bunch of extreme information inside the ship due to hitting some waves of information in the void. Dangerous monster.

Because such a situation exists, it is necessary to ensure that someone can monitor the entire ship at all times, and if a situation occurs, they must take measures as soon as possible.

Such a responsibility is very important, so those Imperial beings who can become supervisors and assume such responsibilities, and become the de facto "captains" of the virtual point jump ship, are all veterans among veterans.

Veterans of levels 2-10 are enough to make other beings in the empire stand in awe when they hear it, and these individuals who have obtained level 2-11 permissions as veterans have reached the end of this road.

"The channel nodes have been set, and all modules have started to work normally. It is judged that the push-off conditions have been met, and the ship is allowed to leave." The supervisors issued new instructions, and the pilots let the ship hover inside the world of order. It moved again, slowly "floating up" and leaving the newly created world of order like a vesicle being spit out.

Behind them, near the new world, a brilliant light beam "penetrating the sky and the earth" illuminates the void. It is a powerful special void beacon. It will be like a lighthouse on the route, guiding this route. All ships that may pass by in the future. The pilots began to determine the end point coordinates of the next virtual point jump. The lighthouse behind them that shone brightly in the void was also one of the references for Ship No. 06 to sail to more distant places.

However, soon, the light of this lighthouse weakened into a relatively bright candle in the eyes of the crew of the No. 06 virtual point jump ship. The candle continued to weaken, and soon turned into a spark, and in the spark When it became extremely faint, almost turning into a void background, a new bright light lit up again after the brilliant explosion of Genesis. The new lights will gradually dim as the ship goes away, and on the route ahead, another new star like this will soon be lit.

A long chain connected by the brilliance of such stars continues to extend in the void. It is like an endless curve, pointing to the end of the void that can never be reached.
