Star Empire

"Gather all our strength. Civilization is far from ending here. No matter what, as long as we can survive, the truth will eventually emerge. We..."

"Indeed, we need, it can even be said that we urgently need to integrate all the remaining forces of the Federation, especially the people's hearts and will. Now, we can no longer withstand any division or loss due to disagreements." Weiss. Ruifan stared at the figure in front of him seriously, "But, what are you going to do? Just order them like this?"

"At the same time... I know, I also hate. From the moment the blockade was ordered to raise the long wall of the world, the indelible mark has been engraved in my heart - I believe anyone who has witnessed it and experienced it Neither will forget or forgive all this... However, we are at the helm, and what we are guiding is the advancement of civilization - no matter what, we should not be blinded by such a will..."

"...Let's talk about some things later..." Victorville waved his hand in a somewhat distracted manner.

"...I am afraid it would not be appropriate to directly enforce certain practices from the current situation. Forcible orders will only arouse resistance or even resistance. I think that since the current restrictions on authority no longer exist, it can be said that, At present, we can intervene in the operation of the underlying protocol and directly establish in the fleet system that we have absolute and unstoppable highest authority in the form of laws of existence. Then... places that we could not intervene in before are now controlled by us. There’s room.”

"At the same time, don't forget what you mentioned before - forcibly issued orders will not work well for people who still have selfish motives and are unwilling to give up their old thinking habits, but that will soon be a thing of the past. It's time for us to start from At the basic level of life, we have come to help our civilization achieve a progress that can be called soaring."

Weisrifan folded his arms and seemed to show a bit of joy when expressing his feelings, "This part needs more detailed demonstration."

"...Theoretically, this is feasible." After listening to the plans of the two consuls, Cavinriel was the first to express his approval.

"The soul is a very sophisticated data body that can be self-consistent within a certain period of time and spontaneously generate ordered information value-added data. Its existence enables us to have consciousness and wisdom, and its more information composition and operation structure are Corresponding to our personality and habits, etc.”

"As long as there are suitable information display and control methods, we can now say that we can delete the soul from any level. Moreover, if we really want to integrate all the resources and manpower of the current civilization, then such transformation can be said to be very necessary. Yes, we cannot tolerate or tolerate those demands, ideas and practices for freedom that are almost ridiculous."

"Cavenriel, this part of the research work will be left to you. When we were in the blockade, you were the one who researched the most about souls and crystal energy. You can be fully responsible for this aspect. There is only one request. , that is, this information cannot currently be transmitted to people with lower levels and authority than you."

"It is our duty to do so." Cavernelle immediately saluted seriously, "But regarding this aspect, if confidentiality is required, then how do we identify the subjects? For this aspect of the test, we must use actual effects to prove the reliability. and stability.”

"Crystal energy structure, network, existing system. Perhaps, Zhai Cahir is the most direct and suitable candidate." After thinking in detail, Cavinriel turned his attention to Zhai Cahir, "His soul has been affected by arcane magic. Information, and although these trace amounts of arcane information are also compatible with the crystal energy network, they will not be subject to direct pressure from the crystal energy network. According to our existing experimental system, such an individual is a single individual experiment The one that best provides accurate results.”

"Okay, I accept it." Under the gaze of several pairs of serious eyes, Zhai Cahir frowned slightly, but finally nodded.

".When you are ready, go and conduct the experiment. We need to make up for some things as soon as possible now."

Vidoville waved his hand and asked Cavinriel to withdraw from the meeting. After the pale golden light barrier re-closed, Vidoville sat next to Vesrifan, "We must take back all absolute power except for the basic right of individual survival. In my knowledge, there is only one political system The most extreme level can achieve such a goal.”

"High integration...civilized centralization."

"Although the various military intelligence centers and the management structures attached to the super military port have also been destroyed, our Guards Army still remains. The management structure of a civilized army can be fractal. Any structure, as long as it still retains the original The organization can be restored to a "complete whole" after being extracted separately. As for other management agencies, we no longer need them."

"As for the specific implementation, we can directly reclassify according to the existing authority structure. Apart from us, the meaning of other "officials" will be changed, that is, people who dedicate their efforts to the realization of goals and will, and It is no longer a diverter of power and power. Perhaps in the future, we will again abandon this system that we have abandoned, but now, considering the performance of most people in the face of reality, if we want to use the power of civilization To twist it into a rope, we still need to do it ourselves."

At this point, Weisrifan's voice suddenly stopped: "...Actually, the current situation is very special and relatively suitable for this kind of great change. After the Federation showed resistance to the new theory in general, the blockade came under our call The citizens of the area are basically the most ordinary people, and there are even fewer survivors now, and there are more than 100 million people who are the most reliable soldiers - we almost no longer need any guiding theory, and we no longer need Any institution - on our own we can unite the power of an entire civilization."

"The huge population, the huge middle and upper-level buildings that are difficult to change, the complicated and comprehensive authority management system, etc., whether it is the software level or the hardware level, the most insurmountable parts that hinder the implementation of the system are all left behind in that cosmic level disaster. The zero-point energy light tide was wiped out together. If it was the once complete Federation of Stars, we might not be able to shake the previous system even before the universe dies."

"Well, our attitudes in this regard are completely consistent, and we hope that our agreement can be maintained at least until our civilization finds the next orderly world in which it can survive. Having said that, if we re-implement a highly integrated management mechanism, it means Now...our civilization has begun to embark on a path that does not follow the original trajectory created by external interference...then at least the direct name of our civilization needs to be changed."

"Xingming...the empire..." Wei Ruifan murmured in a low voice, tapping the table in front of him with his slender jade fingers, "In that case, let's prepare a detailed plan and specific implementation details as soon as possible. .”

"Ah, a few people and a few simple ideas can just change the structure of the entire federation for hundreds of millions of years..." Vidoville smiled bitterly and shook his head, "No matter how you look at it, this is really... ..."Simple"..."

"Actually, I think that from a certain point in time after the crystal energy vortex began to appear, everything began to become a little different. Although everything has not changed in any actual way, I always feel that they have become a little strange. ."

"...It's hard to say, before and after...what is leading us...no one can be sure of this." Eisendel shook his head, "Maybe everything now...has aftermath."

Cavinrel was docking a large handful of rib-like light yellow crystals to the huge crystalline information constraint rail above Zhai Cahir that ran through the entire cabin. After connecting two more, he stopped. Looking down at the work in his hands, Isendel was arranging other small scanning and surveillance equipment below.

"We were much more "rational" in the universe than we are now, or to put it more directly, we were much more paralyzed. But now, even if we turn on the rational logic module, our daily behavior patterns are much better than in the universe. When you rest and relax inside, you feel more natural and active, and you can really connect what you think with what you see... In the past, we don’t know how much content we ignored that was actually enough to trigger an alarm.”

"Indeed." Eisendel nodded while fixing the tunnel-like scanner on the test bed where Zhai Cahir was lying.

"Specifically, since the explosion of the crystal energy vortex, we have slowly begun to realize the various irrationalities before and began to make changes. Anyway, one thing is certain, our previous state of civilization in the universe was definitely not natural. …It’s just that it wasn’t until recently that we actually found that “object” in the illusion…”

"...that civilization that descended into our universe tens of billions of years ago, broadcast super powerful information when we left the universe, and then appeared in the fragments of the world that tracked us."

"Think about it, they have the ability to build huge spaceships that can cover the starry sky even in space, create engines that can distort the world and allow them to move at will, have the ability to subtly influence the development direction of civilization in the universe, and even Its facilities can forcibly and stably drag huge fragments of the world in the void to track a group of tiny information bodies that are constantly jumping. Its power is beyond our imagination."

"For now, we can just hope we don't run into them again."

"Indeed. Moreover, they may not only influence us subtly, but directly "modify" our psychology, behavior, senses, etc. through some means. After all, under the unified theory of information, we follow the computer The files and programs running in it are all composed of data. As long as there is a suitable logic operator, let alone modifying or deleting, we may only need to click a button."

"But at least, their power does not exceed the first level. If they can reach directly to the so-called zero level, which is the level of the entire void, then it will be really scary. Oh, and... …”

"Huh?" Eisendel conveniently fixed a small obelisk on the curved top of the "tunnel", "What's wrong? What do you want to say?"

"Um... no, it's nothing." Cavinrel rolled the words in his throat twice before swallowing them back and refocusing his attention on the crystalline information rail in front of him.

Now, this huge crystal column running through the roof of the entire cabin is like a spine, and the mathematical environment constraint rods as ribs firmly protect the internal information scanners and other detailed intervention equipment. Shortly after adjusting the obelisk, Cavinrel also installed the last "rib" in place. After all preparations were completed, the surface of some equipment began to slowly glow with the unique pale golden light of crystal energy.

"It's done, let's try to run it officially."

After a final check to confirm that all connections were stable and reliable, Cavinriel jumped lightly from the suspended platform and left the information environment area, while Isendel activated the information environment constraint stable backup redundant, and if The dim light mask was slowly buckled into the hemispherical area with the top of the monument as the highest point and just surrounded the entire test bench. Outside this light mask, Cavinriel and Eisendel, who were guarding in front of the terminal interactive machine, quickly obtained the image of Zhai Cahir's soul in the information mask area.

"Cavenriel, when you conducted soul experiments in the blockade, are the parameters still there?"

"Of course they are. The soul-related knowledge in the knowledge preservation plan is all recorded and saved in the format of the information mapping model, and that is in the first batch of transfers." Cavinrel pointed with his chin to the fixed control There is a low and thick crystal prism next to the terminal. "All knowledge is sealed in these former crystal energy storage crystal prisms. They can even be used to directly store souls."

"Look, the video collection has been completed. This is the real-time data situation." On the temporarily raised light screens on both sides of the terminal, a fuzzy humanoid figure displayed in lavender is being continuously improved.

"Well... you can see the vibration of the mood." Eisendel pointed to the two curves jumping up and down in the picture, "Thinking activity itself is a process of information proliferation. Entropy has real power. Now read this sentence It should be said that it is more intuitive.”

Cavinriel didn't answer. What he answered was a series of precise and meticulous control operations. On the screen, several golden indicator lines were nailed to the purple human figure in the picture like thumbtacks, causing waves of fluctuations.

"It is not much different from the expected effect. Zhai Cahir's soul can also be affected by crystal energy without causing problems in the overall stability. At the same time, the "level" of high-frequency crystal energy is still more important than what we are currently using. The level of energy and material is even higher."

While Cavinriel was talking to himself, he directed the golden light stream after assignment and inertization along the previously anchored pointers into the data body representing Zhai Cahir's soul that was fixed in the test chamber. Under the fluctuation and illumination of the golden light flow, the purple human figure in the picture slowly calmed down, and all its mental activities and thinking patterns gradually became more peaceful.

"The data import is completed." Cavinriel wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, "Esendel, I will go to the bridge and use the equipment there to take a look at the test situation. The first round of transformation is currently considered After it is completed, you are responsible for the subsequent follow-up questions and carefully check whether there are any problems or missing points.”

Cavenriel stepped on a teleportation halo and disappeared.

…

"So, it is completely possible to accurately modify the soul attributes and underlying personality on a large scale, right?" Looking at Zhai Cahir who stood in front of him with a somewhat different temperament, Weisruifan asked seriously, " We must make sure again and again, this issue is related to the fate of the entire civilization.”

"Yes, in order to ensure reliability, we first made modifications to Zhai Cahir's soul according to the expected soul settings. After the initial changes were completed, we used multiple other observation systems and measurement methods to verify Whether the results are reliable or not, the conclusion is that as long as the initial assignment is set, we can modify the soul very accurately."

"Even to a certain extent, some of Chief Zhai Cahir's consciousness fluctuations and arcane information just outline the activity range of his soul. Therefore, our operation is more precise... His thinking has the power to change existence. , and this change became the best mark, and according to these marks, we have refined this modification process."

"...At the same time...well, I can guarantee that this approach will not be accidental. As long as the information model makes relevant changes, the results it outputs will not have errors or omissions." After a slight hesitation, the final All reports have been submitted.

Cavenriel turned off the demonstration report in his hand and saluted the two consuls, "It can be confirmed that this method can be used on a large scale without attracting any attention. At the same time, the crystal energy required to modify the soul does not need to be driven. level of VHF crystal energy, so we don’t use too much energy.”

"very good."
