Star Empire

"Long Night Class-17-7 is about to leave the contact range of Shule Fortress. The next stop on the cruise path of this ship is the Kola Ultra-deep Chaotic Sea Broadcasting Station. The communication contact will be delivered, and the application has been initiated."

"Received, Long Night Class-17-7. Your ship's application has been received and approved. The changes in contact have been transmitted to the Korra Super Deep Chaotic Sea Broadcasting Station through the communication network in the order environment. Good luck. "

Contact was lost. The giant black flying wing sailing in the turbulent sea slightly changed its navigation parameters and flew towards the next communication station on the route.

During the flight, the giant ship continuously releases layers of scanning waves at a relatively fixed frequency. After being released, these scanning waves will spread in all directions for a period of time and then return. After receiving the echo, the ship can begin to compare the difference between the echo and the original wave, and then analyze the relative concentration and distribution of pollution in the chaotic sea area through the degree of damage to different parts of the echo.

This method of navigation has been used for hundreds of billions of years, but even now, trillions of years later, this method is the only way that ships can navigate in turbulent seas.

As before, the returned scanning waves revealed the scene outside the ship's armor: above the battleship, the concentration of pollution in the chaotic sea varied greatly and was scattered, with a low average concentration; below the battleship, the concentration of pollution in the chaotic sea The gap is small and the distribution is even, and its average concentration is higher.

Such feedback signals indicate that the Long Night-class ship is currently at its cruising depth, that is, the junction of the shallow area and the deep area in the chaotic sea area.

This is a relatively good place. Ships sailing here will not encounter very serious turbulence like sailing in shallow areas, nor will they dive too deep and have chaotic sea pollution concentrations. It is too large and causes irreparable damage to the self-consistent law armor.

"To be honest, I don't like this method of operation very much. It's sticky and the body feels like it's being sucked. By the way, have you noticed that our empire is really accelerating its full integration with the star ring? The speed is such that even the dead tide is called a chaotic sea."

86—3—16—kjefbeka complained while moving his body—but it was more like struggling than moving. The operation and interaction method of the Long Night class is different from any other type of equipment or vehicle in the Empire. The cab of the Long Night class is filled with black viscous substances. When operating this type of warship, the driver needs to completely immerse his body. In this black sticky stuff. There is no doubt that piloting this type of ship will not be very comfortable.

"If you can save your life from the previous impact, just have fun first. Why are you complaining about this discomfort at this time? Besides, don't you think the feeling of being tightly wrapped is not bad?" 103 —3—9—jaskbc planned to take a photo of the person next to him - but failed. His own hand was also bound by black goo, making it difficult to move at all.

".You're so weird."

"Then why don't you consider another method of operation, implant the carnivorous nerve of Σ, and then when you sail the boat, a lot of particles will be sprayed out from the back of your neck that will keep shaking around. Crossed whip. It seems to be more interesting than this. I just don’t know if you can bear it. Isn’t it right? If you want to complain, I should complain first? How come you, a guy who is so many levels higher than me, complain first?! "

". It's better to get it as soon as possible. I feel scared when I think about the feeling of carnivorous nerves piercing through the body bit by bit and crawling all over the body. Besides, why do you care so much? Don't you want me to complain?"

"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you. You'd better stop complaining. As far as I know, this kind of conversation that gradually starts due to complaints is not ordinary. After that, it is often followed by very important or serious things - why, Want to witness history go down in history? The first Long Night class ship crashed due to unknown reasons. The pilots who were driving it at the time were jaskbc and kjefbeka?"

"Shut up. Are you afraid that your words will come true? You can only smoke black smoke now. Don't turn around and become a ball of black smoke yourself." Kjefbeka wanted to give the person next to him a kick, but because of I couldn't move my legs even an inch and gave up. "Forget it, at least it's better than others. Those who are in normal cabins and passages may be poked by sharp spikes that suddenly pop up from the bulkhead if they don't pay attention. We are still good here, at least. I won’t give it a break every now and then.”

"Wait a minute, a relatively solid shadow appeared far away from the ship and began to follow!" jaskbc said suddenly.

"The shadow has been locked and tracking has begun. Currently, the entity is still at a certain distance from the ship. If the entity continues to approach, fire once it enters the alert range."

"Understood, the chaotic sea pollution guides the turret into position." jaskbc activated a series of equipment. As he controlled the ship, a series of black smoke and crackling black electric lights began to appear on his body surface, but these were due to The anomaly caused by the pollution of the dead tide was quickly absorbed and resolved by the black slime.

At the same time, inside the ship, large equipment buried under the thick black armor began to operate quietly, and an invisible giant hand stretched out. This giant hand is ready. If there is any abnormal movement in the locked shadow, it will grab a bunch of pollution with a higher concentration from the deeper layers of the chaotic sea area and throw the pollution towards the target. The earliest version of it was placed on the seven giant forts of the Black Gate Fortress. After a long period of improvement, it has shrunk enough to be loaded into a battleship.

"The analysis of the nature of the target has been completed. The second type of chaotic sea lifeforms. This type of chaotic sea lifeforms are polluted world consciousness and other life forms with higher levels and stronger themselves that enter the chaotic sea realm. They are polluted by the chaotic sea. It is formed after further erosion and assimilation by pollution. This type of chaotic sea lifeform often retains a certain degree of autonomous action capabilities and perception, and is relatively dangerous."

"Dangerous, but relatively easy to deal with. If it is the first type of monster in the chaotic sea that is purely condensed by pollution, then the guidance turret will be of no use to it. I really can't figure it out, this ghost place actually has There would be something that looks like "life," and to be honest, I don't think it makes sense."

"There are still many things that cannot be explained by reasoning alone, but the phenomenon is here after all, so we can only fight against it. Just like fire, whether it is an element or plasma, or it may be something else, regardless of our understanding of it No matter what it is changed into, it will be hot to the touch. If you can’t explain it logically, then you can only tell the truth.”

jaskbc cautiously stared at the giant shadow moving outside the warning circle. Through rapid scanning fluctuations, he was monitoring every movement of it.

While the bridge was getting ready for the battle, the crew members in other cabins of the ship were also getting ready - most of them had fixed themselves on the ship to prevent themselves from being violently injured when the battle came. Shaking and bumping amplify the effects of sea pollution and lead to injuries. The protoss warriors waiting in the ejection cabin were even more ready to join the gang - as long as the shadow dared to come closer, they would dare to jump over and open their minds to the unscrupulous guy.

After a stalemate for "some time", the shadow disappeared from the scanning range of the Long Night.

". It's gone. It's probably just because it's "strange" and it's "curious" about us, but it shouldn't be "curious" in the ordinary sense. Forget it, just understand the meaning." After the shadow disappeared, jaskbc relaxed Take a breath.

"The Genesis-Doomsday Versus Destruction Engine is here. I have to say that it is indeed more useful than the conventional extraordinary energy engine, but its problem is that the movement is too loud. We here are a high-frequency flashing engine. The pulse source is so bright and so dazzling. I can only say that fortunately the guys living here don’t need eyes.”

"Kjefbeka, do you think we will go out after a while, how many punches will I give you?"

"You are committing the following crime! Okay, stop making trouble. We are about to enter the contact range of the Korra Super Deep Station. You are not afraid that these words will turn into classics and be posted all over the Internet!"

"I think this is not enough to become a classic. God knows what those combatants say every day. Maybe they are the ones who often have golden sentences. The long night - call the Cora super deep sea radio station on the 17th-7th, the long night Level-17-7 Kola Super Deep Troubled Sea Broadcasting Station, our ship has entered the contact range of the Kola Super Deep Troubled Sea Broadcasting Station, please confirm."

"Received, Long Night Class-17-7. This is the Korra Super Deep Sea Broadcasting Station. Our station has confirmed the location and navigation trajectory of your ship. Your ship has entered the contact range of our station, and communication has been established. "

"Received, confirmed."

"Long Night Level-17-7, our station received a notification: Within the range that our station can monitor, a batch of detectors will be released intensively. Our station has recorded and passed the release points of these detectors to You, please pay attention to monitor these chaotic sea exits and track the detectors within the corresponding time."

"Received, confirmed."

"Vidoville, the latest probe sent by the Federation to the Star Empire has arrived. Please launch it in time."

"Understood, but Elendis, I would like to confirm something further - are these latest detectors only characterized by being "blessed by the will of the void in the hope of finding compatriots"?"

"Indeed." Elendis replied solemnly. "It makes a big difference whether you have been blessed by the will of the void. Before, the main purpose of the detector we launched to the other shore was to find the other shore. The super civilization on the other side and establish contact with it, but the main purpose of this batch of detectors is to find the will of the void on the other side and let the will of the void on the other side know about the bridge construction."

"It's hard for me to imagine that it was less than 70,000 years before the catastrophe occurred, but now it seems that the other side still knows nothing about it?" After hearing this answer, Vidoville frowned: " Why wasn’t this done before?”

"This has been done before, but the last time the Federation did this, your Star Empire had not yet contacted us." Ilandis explained this patiently.

"The Will of the Void rarely directly uses its power on a large scale in the field of order. However, even if it does not use power and just has expectations for something or a certain goal, then the hope and expectation of the Will of the Void can Subtly push these things towards success.”

"On the contrary, if the Will of the Void hates something or a certain result, then the possibility of this thing or such a result occurring will be greatly reduced - we speculate that the Will of the Void on the other side is likely to have been rejecting chaos for a long time. The sea, so they subconsciously violently reject everything related to the chaotic sea."

"Driven by the will of the void on the other side, everything coming from the chaotic sea area may be rejected, regardless of its nature and significance. Therefore, it is very likely that most of the detectors we launch to the other side will be rejected. They all fell into the undeveloped areas on the other side, or crashed due to various malfunctions.”

"Please wait a moment, Elendis." Vidoville was a little confused for a moment: "I know that the power of the will of the void is beyond imagination, but your answer does not seem to have anything to do with my question at the moment."

"Okay, then I'll be more direct - because Void Will is lazy."

".ah??"

"Yes, that's the reason, because the Will of the Void is lazy." Elendis spread his hands, "A better way to put it is that the Will of the Void has extremely inertia, and their ideas will not change in a short period of time. . Therefore, we will try periodically. In this way, enough time interval is left for the other side to complete the possible ideological change. Also, in fact, the existence of interval has little impact on the success or failure of this matter. .”

"Not big? Why?"

"Because we can ensure that these detectors will exist in the void on the other side for a relatively long period of time - as long as it can break out of the chaotic sea exit on the other side and enter the order on the other side, it can stay there for a long time. It has been floating in the void or a certain world of order on the other side. As long as none of these detectors are destroyed, then as long as the will of the void on the other side or the super civilization on the other side begins to change their thoughts, these detectors will gradually move towards They're getting closer. Just looking at it as it stands."

"Still not optimistic?" Vidoville asked.

"Indeed. It's even possible that the other side still knows very little about the catastrophe, bridge-building and other events." Speaking of this, Elendis's face also became a little heavy: "If this continues, bridge-building Action’s ability to respond to sudden crises will become increasingly weaker.”

"Now, the Federation is preparing for a more radical delivery method - if we cannot get an effective response from the other side before the final safe time, we will directly mobilize all the Long Night stage and directly send the deep-diving troops and the Tranquility Core , starting end and energy supply system are all launched to the other shore. However, the current situation is actually very unoptimistic."

"A major change has just occurred on the other side. Even if we can successfully transport everything to the other side, even if all life can survive normally and all facilities can operate normally after arriving on the other side, if at this time, there is a civilization on the other side that has never been If the forces I have seen suddenly appear, I am afraid it will probably cause serious misunderstandings." Thinking of this, Victorville also shook his head with a low expression.

The difficulty and danger of forcibly building a bridge are reflected in many places. The first problem to be solved is to be able to "get by" - the closer to the critical layer, the more destructive power of the chaotic sea pollution will be. When the long night level with huge body and obvious target comes Not only must they ensure their own safety, but they must also ensure the safety of the large amount of cargo they carry. This is the first severe test that the deep-diving troops need to face.

After "passing", the second severe test that the deep-diving troops have to face is "survival" - the "existential imaginary number" brought back by the Σ civilization can prove one thing, that is, the order environment on the other side has many differences with the local one. and significant differences.

Can lives and equipment from this shore survive in the orderly environment on the other shore? If they could survive, how much power would they be able to exert under normal circumstances? Although the Federation has currently launched a large number of detectors to the other side, those detectors are basically closed operations. They have their own energy and basically do not need to obtain other supplements from the outside world. However, the detectors are still too small after all. Smaller.

For larger vehicles, as well as more complex and powerful mortals and gods, will the data obtained by using the detector still hold true for them?

After the federation has worked hard to make the deep-diving troops and bridging equipment capable of passing the first two severe tests, the deep-diving troops still need to face the third and most uncertain test - what is the attitude of the civilization on the other side? How will the civilization on the other side recognize and understand the Federation’s deep-diving troops? Will this cause inexplicable misunderstandings between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, and even lead to a life-and-death war?

"——Please all individuals who hold the authority of high-level participants and decision-makers of the Star Ring Federation's deep dive program to immediately access the current consciousness meeting. There are important discoveries in the deep dive operation. Repeat, please all those who hold the authority of the Star Ring Federation's deep dive program It is planned that individuals with high-level participant and decision-maker authority will immediately access the current consciousness meeting. When joining the meeting, please adjust yourself according to the agreement."

"Sudden meeting? Major discovery?" The sudden urgent message interrupted the conversation, and also interrupted the thinking of man and god.

"Not long ago, we launched the first new unmanned relay station with self-consistent law armor to the critical layer of the chaotic sea area. With the help of this relay station, we received some unknown signals from the detectors that had arrived on the other side. Signal."

There was nothingness above the venue of the Divine Consciousness Conference. In the venue, there was a huge circular table containing dozens of different styles. On the wall behind the position of each representative participating in the meeting, the emblem or symbolic pattern of the civilization where the representative came from is painted. And in the center of the huge ring table, there was a series of vague curves beating at this moment.

"Everyone has arrived, so let me introduce the current situation to you."

"After the relay station was in place, it captured some of the fuzzy signals and sent them to the listening equipment on our side. All the signals were very short-lived, and we believe the cause of this phenomenon is: the detector itself is not powerful enough. It is not powerful enough to penetrate the isolation barrier between the world of order and the sea of ​​chaos with its own strength. Only when it gets out of the sea of ​​chaos and the exit of the sea of ​​chaos that it opens has not been closed, can it use this Brief ‘windows’ convey partial information.”

"We have analyzed this information and it is very vague, with no obvious regularity and no very stable periodicity. But we have one thing for sure."

"These detectors that sent back information were 'attracted' from the opposite shore, and the target that attracted them was the same."
