Star Empire

"There is a Σ individual still alive in the Σ building. It is currently speculated that the status and authority of this individual in the old Σ civilization are not low. This is a monitoring station directly manufactured by the Σ civilization. This monitoring station was once used Monitoring for a possible crisis here. However, according to the individual, the crisis has been resolved."

"A lot of things happened to their civilization before the bridge was built, and this monitoring station seemed to be used later to record the civilization's self-rescue plan."

"We once knew the existence of God from some anchor points that may have been dropped from the future, but before that, all those were empty words without evidence. But now, we have officially learned that there is a existence in the void. Gods are called "real gods" by individuals of Σ civilization. These gods should be active in the void as super civilizations or even top civilizations, and the civilization of gods seems to be guided by some kind of "will of the void."

"There is currently a wealth of information, and our understanding of the entire void and everything may be facing a revolution."

".That's just the way it is."

After the meeting between the portrait and Σ-48, the Arcane Throne and the Void Matrix began to return to the Empire along the original route. On the way back, Vidoville described in detail what he heard and saw to another emperor of the Empire. everything of.

"Shocking, shocking, unimaginable." After listening to Victorville's story, the incarnation of Void Fiery Sun's will was silent for a long time before responding.

"Before leaving, I brought some information related to Σ, including the earliest bridge-building records obtained from the database when these two ships were Doomsday Ark, some combat records with Σ's corrupted fleet, and our battle against the giant The record of the malicious metameme was handed over to him. But something strange is that he seems to be puzzled by the appearance of those vesicles." Vidoville shook his head, "He believes that the vesicles and the Σ in the vesicles Creation is not supposed to exist, or to put it more simply - they are not supposed to exist."

"It is not ruled out that "he" does not understand the plan that can lead to the emergence of vesicles." When hearing what Vidoville mentioned, Vesrifan was also surprised.

"The scale of Σ civilization is very large, and you have heard it yourself. The interior of Σ may not be absolutely monolithic as we have always thought before. Each of their regions may have reservations about each other, and if The attempt to "self-rescue" in a space far away from this test site caused some Σ creations to go outside the veil, or other unexpected factors led to the formation of vesicles. These possibilities are not non-existent."

Weisrifan analyzed, "But no matter what, since this real Σ person has expressed doubts and denials about the generation of vesicles, we must invest more energy in vesicles and set up more vigilance measures."

"Yes." Vidoville nodded. "By the way, the "Monitoring Station Director" also mentioned that the "Will of the Void" seems to be preventing any civilization from studying the declaration and use of infinity too quickly. However, the method they use is purely subtle. , gradually eroding the motivation and interest of wisdom to research and advance in this field, it seems that even Σ civilization cannot escape from this point."

"...That's something beyond our power." Weisruifan held his hands and put his right hand on his chin, thinking for a long time. "It's like the Void is "lazy." We may not be able to reverse these conditions for the time being, and presumably, it's been more than 150 billion years since the emergence of the giant malicious meta-meme and the general confirmation of the Veil. , but the empire has never made much achievements in these aspects, but it is understandable."

"It's okay if you can understand this, and I think it's indeed understandable."

Vidoville couldn't help but recall what Σ-48 said before. When witnessing the emergence of nodes of the generalized continuum, even in an environment where "true and false cannot be distinguished", the impact of these nodes is very likely. This is the source of the first wave of "thrust" that pushes ΣCivilization into endless anxiety and madness. And if it knew that researching this aspect would lead to such serious consequences, Void Will might not have opened this hole. But did Void Will really not know?

Or is it that the Will of the Void knew it, but didn't stop it, or couldn't stop it?

"Forget it." Vidoville shook his head. Nothing in the void is absolutely natural. What's more, what I know now is all from Σ-48's words. If I just believe it, it would be too irresponsible to myself and the empire.

"Forget it?" Wei Ruifan tilted his head.

"It's nothing." Vidoville waved his hand, "I think what happens next is the trouble."

"What happens after that is really troublesome." Speaking of this, Weisrifan also frowned. "Kriz and I have gone back and forth several times. This part of the Empire story line is quite confusing. There are different opinions and different opinions. It should be said that this chaos will eventually calm down, but after it subsides, it will cause What are the impacts? It’s really hard to say.”

"An ancient building that is directly connected to the Σ civilization and is very powerful has appeared in the void, and the surviving Σ people have appeared. This information can bring a huge impact." Vidoville said seriously.

"Since the Expedition Annals, there are not many people actually existing within the empire whose souls and consciousness can be traced back to the Decision Annals or before the Decision Annals, but most of them are in high positions - such as you and me, and there are some whose numbers depend on The old rulers and department managers of the previous world area. This group may have been hostile and wary of Σ. It is likely that it has been engraved in their souls to some extent. And the new world areas and new world area rulers established later. They might be a little more accepting and tolerant of it, which is bound to lead to arguments.”

"Besides, there are also those "gods" who have not yet appeared, but we must come into contact sooner or later. How the empire will face them is also a big problem. Although there have always been many people in the entire empire We are thinking about the possibility of these situations occurring, but if this situation does arise and the directions we can choose are actually very narrow, there will definitely be a conflict of ideas."

"So, Wood, what do you think?"

"Me." Vidoville blinked. He turned back to look at Weisrifan and said seriously: "From my personal point of view, I think that those who will meet sooner or later will even need to accept their asylum. It is not unacceptable to cooperate with the "divine civilization" and even advance to a deeper relationship."

"Whether now is the most powerful moment for the empire may still be open to debate, but there is no doubt that now is the moment when the entire empire and the entire star civilization are most prosperous. I must take responsibility for the current empire and the sentient beings of the current empire. No matter what, it is the moment when the entire empire and the entire star civilization are most prosperous. .Can’t escape anymore. If I can have a stable enough ally that won’t cause backlash, I won’t choose to refuse.”

"There will always be people who are more willing to emphasize the higher level of success that may exist in the future. For the present, they will always think that it is worth giving up the possibility of the future and even sacrificing millions of lives. Everything in the present will always be Become a victim. However, if you can't even protect the present, how many people will be rational and calm enough to be willing to dedicate everything to pave a vain road for a future that is uncertain whether it exists or not? ?”

"I have experienced this situation many times, and I am the one who abandons the present and uses countless lives to exchange for possible future glory. At least for now, I don't want to make such an exchange anymore."

"Sigh." Weisrifan looked at Vidoville. At this time, if we want to continue on this topic, it seems inappropriate anyway.

"Are there any follow-up arrangements? Are communication and security measures in place?"

"In place. Now, the entire empire should have established multiple lines of defense on a small half of the national border. The entire empire has at least one billionth of the total void survey radar array staring at the movements of this void. The surrounding few On every void route, there will be strengthened virtual point jump fleets to conduct non-stop patrols. It won’t be too long before the communication delay around here can be further reduced by at least an order of magnitude.”

"Yeah." Wei Ruifan wanted to say something more, but at the moment, he couldn't find any good topics. She turned and looked behind her. Kreeze was resting now. After conducting ultra-intensive situation analysis, he still had to face the impact of the information deviation difference. Even his extraordinary body would feel tired.

As for the portrait, he has been meditating since the return journey. There seems to be no topic to talk to him. Since there is no topic, it is even less likely that there will be anything to make Victorville feel relaxed with him. Some topics can be discussed.

The nineteenth quadrant is the Great Sun Wall of the Star Empire—Yangming Pass.

As the void routes from the inner regions of the empire to the top of the Sunwind were gradually opened up, the "Beacon Tower" nodes of the Great Wall that were first built based on these routes have taken shape. These "beacon towers" are like basic reference points. Their existence guides the extension and expansion of the "wall" of the Great Wall.

Ideally, the Empire's Great Wall of the Sun would surround and envelop the entire solar wind field blown by the blazing sun. In fact, this may be a task that can never be completed, or it may be a task that takes "forever" to complete. But that doesn't matter, there's no need to focus on that right now.

In the first "Beacon Tower" node to be built, a powerful early warning force will be deployed. Their mission is to detect movements in the far-reaching void outside the city wall.

In these beacon towers, the void survey radar array is standard, but sometimes, a "person" will appear in these worlds. These portraits contain part of the soul of the seventh guardian Yorumu Leshang from the second generation of Hytes. The former guardian is now standing in the distant frontier again, continuing to work for the civilized group behind him. Carrying out the task of guarding this most distant frontier.

The location of this figure is very special - the node where it is located is the closest to the sun.

This node is located at the "lowest place" on the top of the Fierce Sun, which means that the offset difference in void information between the location of this node and the location of the Fierce Sun is the smallest. If this node is broken through, then after the void environment dominated by the Fierce Sun Wind Field is adapted, these places may become "highways" for hostile entities emerging from the outside world to attack the Imperial Zone.

Therefore, at the "Yangmingguan" nodes in all quadrants, the empire and the λ Civilization Alliance have invested a lot of energy, anchoring a relatively large number of fortress worlds here, and deploying the most advanced military equipment in these fortress worlds. Good communication equipment and large-scale troops guard these invisible "passes" in the void. Therefore, when the statue came here, he found that everything here did not seem as desolate as he imagined.

Occasionally, a battleship from the Lambda civilization would come to visit him carrying some "old acquaintances". Regarding his situation, Yorumu Leshang is very clear that he was not a guardian or a god who could be accepted by the previous civilization. It is not easy for these lamb "people" and information to come to visit him. .

But it doesn't matter, at least λ can continue to move forward stably now, and those dangerous golden enemies in the void have now become able to communicate and cooperate, which is good enough.

In normal times, apart from work, listening to the conversations of people passing by is the most interesting thing for me. It's boring most of the time here - emergencies here are just accidental, and most of the time, everyone here faces nothingness. The few bright colors are the other void sites far away from him, and the faint sunlight looming behind him.

Since this place is far away from the core territory of civilization, very little information about the prosperous world can reach here. The information that can be sent here is almost only orders and regulations, and those things have nothing to do with him in most cases.

For me, learning about what is happening in the civilized world from the chats of the soldiers passing by me is almost the only connection I have with the civilized world now.

From "a fault zone broke out in a certain area, the combined fleet followed the order to intercept" to "the 3500 billionth anniversary celebration of the empire's expedition", from "the empire's basic battle carrier is fully refitted and upgraded" to "the star empire - lambda" "Commonwealth of Civilizations [An Ning 36] Joint Military Exercise". There are always many interesting things.

However, recently, I have noticed that the people wearing purple and gold robes or white and gold military uniforms walking past me seem to have become a little nervous, and there are many more things they are discussing that have not been mentioned much before. Words that have been visited, such as "god", "sigma", "void building", "ancient civilization" and "contact", etc.
