Star Empire

"The number three has a special meaning?" Vidoville chewed on this sentence, his eyes became a little strange, "Has Zhai Cahir given any more detailed explanation? Maybe there is something missing in my understanding - void It shouldn’t be like the cosmic environment, with three macro dimensions, right? Is there any similar consideration in using three targets in this first test?”

"No, it's not - when we send samples to other quantifiable frequencies for detection, they will travel a certain route compared to other units and fleets, and this route will not be very, very far - We can determine what errors will occur in our current navigation equations and how big the error range is by detecting the actual coordinates of these routes and the order coordinates in theoretical calculations."

"What we detect is actually a series of "skewness" sizes - which has nothing to do with dimensions. In fact, we can do it with at least one sample point. This action suggestion is just, well, as for the specialness of three, Most of the special features he mentioned were seen from the perspective of information. According to his understanding, they seemed to contain certain symbolic relationships... However, he finally proposed a few relatively simple examples from the past. After thinking about it carefully, it is indeed worth paying attention to.

"Ikarim frowned and recalled it, and quickly took out the "common differences" pointed out by Zhai Cahir from the memory bank," Zhai Cahir said, summarizing according to the previous citizens' cognitive rules. It seems that when something begins to enter the third repetitive state, most people will feel that it has really started. For example, when reading a document, when the third line is read, most people will really feel that it has begun. I feel myself starting to read. "

"What's more important is that according to the federal sample sampling formula, three samples are the minimum number that must be maintained no matter what. Even if a certain project has only one variable according to the sampling formula, if three samples are taken, the final number will be The results will be much higher than those of two samples, even if multiple groups are conducted at the same time. Of course, there are some other items, but those are not important, and I recommend that you don’t listen.”

"Huh? What else? Explain everything clearly." Weisruifan was interested in this new topic at this time. How could there be such a lack of explanation? "Zhai Cahill's information perspective can be said to be excellent so far. It is unique, and some parts of what he saw may not be described in words, but can only be experienced. Please tell me everything, don't leave anything out."

"Uh... if you really want to see it... Your Excellency, I will send it to you privately."

"...Where do these messy and complicated messages come from?" The more data packets appeared in the Vidoville searcher's mind, the more strange he felt. "Isn't Zhai Cahir going to collect all the data in the database with three characters?" Have you got all the words? There are many words in them that are already in "ancient books"..."

He didn't know what to say as he looked at the important, frivolous, and even funny historical record entries that were dancing in his mind, as if digging through the entire history of civilization.

"Cavenriel, do you think... is it feasible to use the suggestion three here...?" Victorville stared at the figure in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a little doubt in his heart.

"I don't know, Your Excellency Archon, I must make it clear that I don't know." Cavernrel shook his head gently, "As far as the most important knowledge at present is concerned, there is nothing in the void that we think. The coordinate structure that can be followed...why the parameters modified by our flight will drive the spacecraft...We don't know, but since it is the opinion of the chief engineer...then we must consider it carefully."

"...Understood...Cavenriel...go back and remind him that our resources are precious, and these ancient, outdated and old cultural contents should be disposed of - in addition, let him pay attention not to let his consciousness on the Internet It’s too diffuse.”

"Order the entire fleet to enter a state of self-discipline calibration, and make sure that all Ark equipment is in good working condition - select the test objects according to the lowest measured value. Don't bother with the inspection, we must try our best to ensure that the spacecraft can continue to operate in the way we can currently do. …At least that’s the standard.”

"clear."

Crystal energy, and mathematical rate equipment. These devices that can support deduction, manipulation, synthesis, and extraction of mathematical models and information mapping formulas are, in an absolute sense, the basis for the survival of current civilization.

According to the current research results, crystal energy is located at the first level of the "ladder of void" in theory. In terms of information expression, it is equivalent to the level achieved by integrating all the information in the world. In other words, as long as there is In the right environment, crystal energy can be transformed into everything in the world of order. And this suitable environment is the ‘pure mathematics environment’ that meets current needs. At present, this definition is relatively unable to achieve the perfection required by absolute theory, but at the level of practical application, they are already of great use.

As long as there is a suitable mapping language description, crystal energy can be converted into any known substance, which is more perfect than any particle accumulation technology.

Although the Ark is huge for a spaceship, for celestial bodies, even the smallest dwarf planet is much larger than such a spacecraft, which means that it is impossible for these spacecrafts to carry much "building materials".

For example, in the early days of the exploration of crystal energy materials, in order to find information arrangements that could be compatible with crystal energy in specific aspects, Cavinrel and Zhai Cahill specially built a huge Gnaku-type test site and conducted tests almost continuously. Materials from the entire universe, which may add up to a dozen G2 main-sequence stars, were disassembled into molecules or atoms and sent to the material fusion furnace before they were finally cast into two basic materials.

During the time-axis split period caused by the explosion of the crystal energy vortex, most of the consumables required for material research were taken from the huge mass focus in the circle around the crystal energy vortex that can only be seen within two thousand light years. Ring Belt, and now, it is no longer possible to obtain the desired effect by consuming massive amounts of matter.

In other words, even though the "divided civilizations" in the federation's third hexagram blockade have been developing based on the unified theory of information, until the Ark fleet set sail, all production and research were basically still based on the old Based on the "actual material view".

Now, the change of directly converting crystal energy into various substances through a pure mathematical environment has given everyone a clearer understanding of the unified theory of information and a further experience.

As an equipment system that has been proven and mature in design, with the assistance of mathematical rate-crystal energy material conversion technology, these accessories that are almost impossible to make with conventional materials can be made in just a few seconds after consuming a trace amount of crystal energy crystal inventory. The time of the month appeared on Ark No. 1 as the flagship - and because the decay efficiency of information can reach 100% after the mathematical rate core assignment level is reached, no resources are wasted.

…

"Chief Master Zhai Cahir... your network immersion consciousness should be better now, right?" In front of the mathematical rate core of the first bridge, Vidoville looked at the energetic Zhai Cahir in front of him and couldn't help but think Still shook his head.

"I have to say that your eyes are really powerful and you can see through those deep information connections. But having said that, can you clearly see the relationship between the differences in the world barrier and its "position" in the void?"

"Eh... Well, maybe it's possible, but the first thing is that the sample is too small, and I can't find out the rules. The second thing is that the world barrier serves as the world's "ID card", and its amount of information expression is very huge. My ability cannot be seen through so far, and now we cannot obtain enough arcane energy to help me. Crystal energy and arcane energy are at the same level, and we have no way to directly change the properties of crystal energy."

"Okay, I got it." Although he had basically expected this result before, Victorville still sighed with a bit of regret. After all, only Zhai Cahir has the arcane energy in his soul, and Arcane As far as is known, magical energy can change the properties of matter according to people's thoughts and the way they give concepts and meanings. If this kind of energy can be used on a large scale, it can be said to have a promising future, but as a first-level energy , the existing mathematical rate equipment cannot analyze it, and it is even less possible to talk about manufacturing it.

"You go to test the equipment with Cavinrel and the others first. I have prepared three arks. During the experiment, both parties will pay attention to data exchange at the same time, ensuring that the time speed is consistent and backing up the information offset method. Even if the navigation device fails, we can still find the separated ark."

"clear."

…

Half an hour later, in the main control hall, the forward output guide rail of the mathematical rate core was directly connected to the front of the console.

Vidoville, Vesrivan, Caloust, and a group of operators all stood quietly in front of the console. In the upper light curtain that looked like an inverted sloping wall, there were two huge partition screens and a set of The holographic display projection as a void simulation model is refreshing the displayed content all the time.

"It feels very unreal and informal." Vidoville said suddenly.

"Probably after our order field left the world barrier, all our philosophical crystallizations collapsed..." Weisruifan's eyes were also unclear. "Although what we have to do now is to find a way to establish a coordinate system that can be understood, this matter...maybe very important in history——"

"This is the Fifteenth Ark. I am Captain Nori Albeck. The ship is in good condition."

The response of the life volunteers suddenly sounded, interrupting the silence and whispers in the control hall of the Ark Fleet flagship.

"This is the Sixteenth Ark. I am the captain Enota Agnes. The ship is in good condition."

"This is the Seventeenth Ark. I am Captain Lista Eskett. The ship is in good condition."

Along with the sound, the content displayed on one of the light screens was converted from the regular surveillance status of the three spacecrafts to the enhanced contact mode. At the same time, in order to save communication bandwidth, all civilian channels were closed at the same time.

Later, a group of extremely complex curves and matrices appeared in another light screen, as well as the remaining emblem of the "leader". "Inform the flagship No. 1 bridge that the fleet has stopped information deviation navigation. All navigation equipment groups have been online and passed the stability pre-test. Please request that the test begins!"

After both parties reported that everything was normal, Vidoville took a breath and turned to look at Weisrifan beside him. By chance, their eyes met the same line.

Looking into each other's eyes, the two of them looked at each other and said, "The test begins!" Two voices with completely different tones but the same seriousness appeared in the minds of all the participants at the same time.

After the permission order was issued, the mathematical rate cores in the control rooms of the four Arks, including the flagship, suddenly accelerated their operation speed, and the light they emitted was greatly enhanced. The brightness of the four long spoke-shaped guide rails on the ground has also been increased. The golden fluid like mist is refracted by the crystalline layer at the upper end of the guide rails to release flickering light and shadow.

Although this looks very much like the multiple decaying crystal energy of the past, in fact, this is the external output of the "pure mathematical information environment" created by the mathematical rate core. From the old concept, there is no actual material flowing through the pipe.

In the void, the joint order field supported by the fleet is like a crystal bubble floating in the ocean. Soon, some "disharmonious" information fluctuations began to appear in the bubble for the first time.

Under the action of three slightly different "thrusts" in the bubble, the order field that might have originally been a standard sphere began to slowly deform, and the originally stable and single frequency began to appear in some different "variations." After a slight stagnation, the variant separated from the original order field like "exocytosis" and prepared to fly to the "distant place" along the different direction intervals that were agreed upon in advance.

"Confirmation before sailing - it must be confirmed that the background noise existing in the contact level is lower than the test warning value." Looking at the control console with a slightly curvature arc in the hall, Cavinrel once again cautiously reminded every monitor Contact member:

"Your mission is to ensure that the three spacecraft that have left the main order field maintain sufficient contact with our main system by maintaining information exchange. Although there is currently not enough evidence to prove that the "outside time" phenomenon does exist, but In such an environment, we must consider as much as possible all dangers we may encounter - the loss of any Ark will be a fatal blow to us... You are the last barrier to prevent this blow from coming. "

"Understood, Your Excellency Science Officer!"

"Attention, the final self-inspection of the fleet has been completed, and the test subjects are preparing to leave. All calibrators are requested to start recording and maintain a stable information flow." The voice of the shipboard AI instantly replaced the hundreds of information calibrators in Cavinrel's mind. author’s response.

"It has been confirmed that Arks No. 15 to 17 have formed an independent order field and separated from the main fleet. The current communication status is normal and the data stability is normal. We have started to back up the information offset data of the three Arks and calculate the "exploration route" and navigation equipment. The group started running and tried to calculate the void coordinate mapping relationship."

According to the pre-plan, after the three arks are separated from the main body of the fleet, both parties will increase the intensity of the order field representation simulated by the crystal energy. The three spacecraft will respectively adopt three different types of simulation representation correction methods with different components, and Inform the flagship of its own offset parameters. In this process, the void navigation system will jointly analyze the differences produced by the representation information of these four order fields and the offsets of the three pieces of information, and try to analyze possible void coordinate equations.

Synchronizing the information offset parameters to the flagship is an "insurance measure" determined when discussing the steps of the plan. Once the navigation system fails and the Ark Trek is tested, the flagship can lead by offset this information. The fleet tracked the Trek Ark and retrieved it.

However, all participants in this measure understand its significance. The information confirmed by the Federation after entering the void in a state of chaos is pitiful. According to current theories, these safety redundancies are actually a kind of psychological comfort in a larger sense. The decomposition ability of the void is very powerful, even if it is superimposed The self-replicating information of crystal energy will also suffer from packet loss and will become more serious as the "distance" increases. The crystal energy superimposed in these information is obtained by consuming the inventory of stored crystals. Ark cannot be unrestrained. broadcast its own location information.

At the same time, what worries Cavenriel and the others the most is the current "accuracy issue". Whether the information offset currently used is enough to calibrate the void position mark, and how big the movement caused by the copying of the current amount of information will be. The errors are all unknown. Therefore, the last requirement of this plan is that once the experimental Ark becomes lost and after the expected number of broadcasts is used up, if it finds that its "ultimate connection" with the fleet - that is, the time calibration connection - is cut off, it means that the fleet cannot Take it back yourself. In this case, the ark will be independent and choose its own direction to continue flying.

This is a nice way of saying it.

"System calibration is completed, authorization is completed, and the void offset calibration test is started."

Cavinriel took a long, deep breath at the slowest speed, and then stared at the output terminal in front of him.

On the holographic projection in the control hall, in the dark "cube" map that occupies the vast majority of the holographic projection and tries its best to visually simulate the nearby situation, several light points begin to slowly move in a way that is completely incompatible with the world of order. stand up.
