Star Empire

"Don't think too much about...this..." Vidoville blinked in confusion, "Indeed, many times if the information received is insufficient or on the wrong path...thinking about these unsolvable things will indeed cause huge consequences. The burden may even lead to metaphysical severing errors... But if we don't want to do it completely... I'm afraid we won't be able to find an effective way of thinking again in such a short period of time..."

"Then...it's better to make some choices. After all, we can only think about the results now." When it comes to this, Weisruifan is also the leader. "We are in this position, then we have to consider There are more, but now it is dangerous to think more, tsk..."

"Forget it... let's talk about the unreasonable things that have been ignored... Where were we talking about before? Three different systems?"

"...Well, the three major races, no matter what, this situation is wrong and unreasonable. Now...if we really want to establish a cognitive system again...we must first see how much we have left. Merit."

"Huh? Something's wrong... Ah, indeed. The empire's mandatory cognitohazardous attack and the Zerg's own super space talent don't seem to be able to evolve naturally. What's more, our past universe was uniform, and among natural conditions Under the circumstances, even if there are beings who don’t follow the rules, they must be in the minority.”

"After the empire and the Zerg perished and we occupied their former territories, we did not find that there were sufficiently obvious differences in rules in their territories. Time and space are relatively uniform. It is indeed a bit strange to produce such anomalies under such circumstances. .”

"After the empire disappeared, their obliteration memes seemed to disappear along with their civilization, leaving no noteworthy residual changes. The Zerg is even stranger. Their life molecules are completely different from ours. It’s different, so it’s understandable that they have stronger physical qualities, but what about their spatial operation capabilities?”

"And they can use their own power to directly force the spatial structure out of mapping conflicts, and...their souls are very powerful, which is probably not a natural evolution."

"Speaking of souls, in fact, our souls are probably the most peculiar," Weisrifan reminded. "Our souls, as well as the bodies that encapsulate them, can carry crystal energy. In the remaining biological specimens , those two once powerful races, the tolerance of their biological samples to crystal energy can be said to be quite poor."

"Hiss... how much do we... still believe in ourselves..." In the terrible recollection of his own experience, Victorville kept shaking his head. Now, in the weight function, it is possible After he was no longer stable, he was even a little unsure about the sequence of judgments between events.

"This is just a reminder. Remember, don't think too much." Weisrifan stepped forward and gently stood on tiptoes, patting Vidoville's shoulder while trying to look levelly into Vidoville's eyes, "These are Let’s put things down first. What we need to focus on now is everything that can allow us to continue our voyage. What we need to deal with now is the knowledge backup plan centered around the core of mathematical rate.”

"Ikarim has already started working on this plan, but in order to implement it, we still need to wait for Zhai Cahir to recover. Sigh——"

Ever since the appearance of the crystal energy vortex, Victorville felt that he had not stopped sighing. "The information perspective cannot be copied. This is really inappropriate. Li'er, let's go about our own business first. Zhai Cahir wants to recover." It will take several days, but this time he forced himself to spy on the void environment from his own perspective. This approach may be completely unprecedented. Next, we will focus on observing him, and if there is any abnormality, report it immediately."

"By the way, there is one last point. We need a current unit system that is more detailed and more suitable. At the same time, we should also think of a more suitable measurement standard for proportion - the old system can be directly applied to the new one. system, is it still applicable? Is there any incompatibility?”

As Weisrifan spoke, his eyes slowly swept across the surrounding complex ring-shaped control hall, the surging mathematical core, and the single but very unique complex that had long been regarded as the background. The necessary calibration operations are secured to the operators in their chairs.

A week later, the first bridge of Ark No. 1.

"Zhai Cahir, are your eyes okay?" Vidoville took a closer look at the chief control technician who had been lying in the recovery cabin for a week. Although the bleeding in his right eye had stopped long ago, he could still compare it with his left eye. It was obvious that Zhai Cahir's eyes were much turbid, the whites of the eyes were partly purple-red, and there were also fine patches in the purple iris.

"-To be honest, Archon, it's not good." Zhai Cahir shook his head, "The damage caused to my eyes by forcibly trying to interpret the information on the edge of order will take longer to recover. Now... I The two angles of view are not clear, as if they are out of focus?"

"Is it going to be this serious?" Vidoville pulled Zhai Cahir back, who was staggering about to float toward the cabin door. "According to your performance, I don't think it will be this serious. What are you going to say?"

"Sir, with all due respect, you are wasting resources. Forget it, I can't find the right words." Zhai Cahill seemed to be choked by himself. "In short, the federation is much smaller now, and the black box structure is not Basically disappeared. I can take care of as many of these things as possible - Ikarim, do you think it is appropriate to use high-level resources like the math rate core to do things that can be done with a storage disk?"

"Is there any problem? I have calculated and experimented. The mathematical rate core can play this role, and using a direct mathematical environment to store information can save a step of language conversion-in addition, such a large amount of information , where can we find such a high-end and stable storage disk? Have you developed it?" In response to this somewhat blunt response, Ikarim's reply was not polite.

"Yes, it is possible, but now the mathematical rate core cannot be produced additionally. There is only one like this for an Ark. The design purpose of this mathematical rate core is to constrain the production of a mathematical concept environment with adjustable setting parameters to control the relative crystal energy. Pure information fluctuations are assigned a certain orderly value, and then output directly to the outside world!"

"One of the most important functions of this device is to give information the power to evolve, so that they can be turned into various things that interact with reality. The other is to match the roughly reasonable event process group among the chaotic information and then implement it! Taking into account the events The uncertainty of the group, its interior can be considered unknowable in most cases!”

"If we weren't able to use attributes such as chaos to roughly match information, we wouldn't be able to control the order field structure at all, let alone record and modify the void coordinates! In such a chaotic situation, if you want to draw a stable area, how much space does it need to occupy? resource area to maintain its existence? In addition, can you guarantee that it will not malfunction? "

"As for the storage disks, I don't think it's difficult to find them, and these storage disks are..."

"...Wait a minute, look at these void coordinates and footnotes...I may know why data will escape from the database when there is redundancy, and then be redistributed into the heads of ordinary citizens." Hearing this. After Zhai Cahir's words, the two consuls looked at each other, "To be honest, the amount of information in the void coordinates is so terrifying that I can't even read a single footnote." Weisruifan shook his head, "We were just subconscious before. "They think devices can handle them, but we may only now really understand...a lot of the details."

"No wonder the system has to frequently reallocate resources... How many times have we carried out void information migration in the past eight years... And in addition, the void coordinate record is related to crystal energy... In this case, breakdown Permission walls are not impossible.”

"Zhai Cahir, how valuable are the previous voyage records?" Vidoville asked helplessly, "If that doesn't work, just clear out those voyage logs. According to what I got from the information you gave me, It seems that our conventional computers cannot handle such complex and high-level super data packets."

"According to the federal law, each ship's logbook can be cleared only after the ship itself has no pending cases and has been completely delisted. However... according to the current situation, the leftover log information is indeed of little use. Our early The navigation trajectory is so messy that apart from being able to roughly judge that we are indeed far away from the original universe, there are only some basic reference values ​​left." Zhai Cahir thought for a while and replied.

"Federal bill... I hope those ghosts won't appear again... Then clean it up when it's time to clean it up. Also, the current navigation data should be summarized every once in a while and then cleared up. Our equipment is not yet able to Completely keeping up with the needs of void navigation.”

"Yes, I understand."

"Calost, let me ask you, is the energy storage crystal that has been used up in the power cabin damaged?" Weisrifan asked subconsciously, and Calost's response immediately returned to the bridge: "Ever since the two chiefs, Cavinrel and Caloust, invented the original finished product, all the properties of the crystal energy storage crystal have been the same. Today's crystal energy storage crystal can also be used multiple times."

"Zhai Cahir, the current mathematical rate information output terminal can be expanded, right?" Weisruifan turned to the former chief control technician aside.

"Yes, we have reserved interfaces in all the main cabins of the entire ship and the main nodes of the crystal rail network. The Void Navigation Array is a new system. It can operate only by using some of the reserved new interfaces."

"I understand. All crystals can be used as storage disks." Wei Ruifan's eyes lit up slightly, "The earliest crystal energy storage crystals can store multi-level secondary crystal energy that is about to fall into the actual material state. If If the properties of crystal energy storage crystals do not change much, the current crystal energy assignment derivatives should also be able to be stored. Unlike previous physical media storage, as long as the pure information flow is not annihilated, there is no need to consider any topological structure preservation, etc.— —Zhai Cahir, is that right?"

"Is such that."

"Understand that we will try it, start small-scale pilot experiments, and create interfaces."

The two consuls were a little dazed looking at the interface structure "growing" out of the crystal rail on one side.

A round rod was connected to the original golden crystal rail, and a regular hexagonal base was supported above the round rod. A restraining lock like an insect limb extended from each of the six vertices of the hexagon. The buckle is already closed. Under the protection of the base and lock, a piece of crystal that has lost its golden luster is securely fixed in this "port".

"To be honest, this port is a bit too simple compared to what I imagined..." Vidoville scratched his head, "I remember that the volume of the mathematical rate core you first created, Zhai Cahir, was not larger than the spaceship under our feet. Much smaller, the current crystal energy version is quite large if you include the power output module. Since then, I have always thought that equipment related to mathematical rates should be linked to complexity and size."

"That's right or wrong, Your Excellency." Ikarim's previous embarrassment should have disappeared by now. "The complexity of the equipment mainly depends on how many processes we need to convert energy or matter into the state we need. Advanced is not actually linked to complexity. Well... to give an example that may not be very appropriate, planets During the civilization period, if iron elements needed to be extracted from ores, a complete set of complex industrial facilities would be required, including blast furnaces and supporting feeding, air supply, gas purification, iron slag processing, fuel injection, etc.;

After the energy is extremely abundant, a room that can provide an ultra-high frequency magnetic field can purify iron elements; but now, we only need to match the material formula of the iron element to directly let the crystal energy decay to produce pure iron. The embodiment of advanced technology is to improve efficiency and speed on the one hand, and to simplify the process on the other hand, that is, to reduce the number of mapping layers between information as much as possible. So many times, advanced equipment actually looks simpler and simpler than outdated, old equipment. "

"However, this is not absolute, and this is also the "right" part I said. The simpler and more direct the device, the more redundancy and buffering structures it requires - in other words, while directly outputting simple results, they Larger and deeper black box processes are often required to coordinate their own functions.”

"For example, in the vacuum zero-point energy energy system, a considerable part of its huge volume is provided by the backup unit. Simple steps and a single mapping relationship not only represent high efficiency, but also bring problems such as difficulty in stopping and controlling, etc. Just like a straight river, it is normal under normal circumstances, but once a flood breaks out, its downstream will be submerged in an instant."

"...There's no need to explain so much...It's just practical for now." Although he responded subconsciously based on his past thinking habits, after considering the terrible environment he had imagined before, Vitouville didn't want to let it happen. These ideas from the old era have existed for too long, but he can't confirm whether all this needs to be changed, and he doesn't know how valuable these contents are - maybe these deceived ideas will also be very useful in the void, so he still Nodding, "Then, please start the experiment now."

"Yes." Ikarim waved his hand and activated a floating light screen beside him that could be used as an interactive terminal. Under the constant debugging between him and Zhai Cahill, soon, the rings on the periphery of the mathematical rate core that constrained the central environment were Part of the arc structure changed its rotation state, and the brightness also fluctuated accordingly.

As the crystal rail flashed, the interior of the hexagonal crystal that had lost its light and was fixed on the upper end of the connection port began to flicker with golden light, looking like a solid starry sky. With the continuous injection of the crystal energy light flow after being assigned and encoded, the flashing light points inside the crystal soon lost their boundaries, gradually connected with each other, and finally lit up the crystal again.

However, compared to those crystals used as energy bricks, the crystal in front of you is also filled with high-frequency, or quasi-high-frequency crystal energy, and is also filled with golden light, but these rays do not give people the feeling of high-frequency crystal energy. This cold feeling can make people feel dangerous at a glance, but it makes Cavernrel and others standing around it feel a sense of warmth.

"Then it's time to test whether this approach is effective." After watching the light flow from the guide rail to the crystal extinguish, Ikarim stepped forward and removed the crystal together with the base. "This part is what we can currently determine. All the information - the corresponding transformation formulas of matter, especially the downward transformation of crystal energy. If they can always remain stable, then when we reach other universes in the future, these formulas will be the foundation for us to lay a foundation for pioneering."

Ikarim quickly found the reserved location for the connection interface of the reading device. After he connected the "data disk" that was temporarily available for a short period of time and reset the information\\energy flow circuit, the machine made a slight sound. The humming immediately dimmed.

"Well... this is not a failure. The equipment is coordinating multi-source information input. Wait a moment." Zhai Cahir opened his hands and waved downwards to calm down the anxious and worried people. Although it was a bit blurry, his perspective could still see that massive amounts of data were being exchanged rapidly between the crystal and the device.

Soon, the optical display part of the reading device was reactivated. Along with the golden double sword emblem flashing by, an inconspicuous dot appeared in the transparent light screen. However, under Ikarim's light touch, With a light touch, this inconspicuous dot will explode and instantly grow countless "branches and leaves". Each branch is a classification group, and each "leaf" is an information-matter transformation formula.

Looking at the information tree unfolding in front of him, Ikarim let out a sigh of relief, and hit his shoulders with two hands from behind. Looking back, he saw a smiling Cavernriel and Isendel. .

Looking at the nervous compatriots around him, Ikarim showed a reassuring smile. Then he raised his right hand high and made a "success" gesture to everyone present - with the final word Precise words convey the meaning, "We made it."
