Star Empire

No matter how large the scale of what happens in the depths of the void is, it will eventually dissipate into the void. The "probabilistic completeness" of the void determines the powerful zeroing and dissolving capabilities of the void. Everything is a subset of the void. When this subset After the concept of collection disappears, that is, after the self-consistent constraints that can maintain order are eliminated, these phosphorus fires rising out of the sea will return to the original ocean of chaos at a very fast speed, no matter how bright they were before.

Including this extremely powerful information supernova explosion born in the depths of the void.

However, for the Star Exile Fleet in the remote and wild void, what happened here is completely unimaginable. Even if they explore some possibilities on the endless edge of darkness, it is basically impossible for them to see the event itself. , and even if you see it, it is probably completely impossible to understand it.

After the information torrent swept through, the information expression ability of the information aggregates suspected of being world fragments targeted by the fleet in the void has been enhanced to a certain extent, from the previously vague and weak echo to a relatively clear " "Feedback Image" has finally become a truly clear and attainable goal.

For the exile fleet, this is the only good news, and the only useful news.

June 5, 1386, Year of Exile, Flagship of the Exiled Fleet.

According to the accumulated information from previous voyages, the flagship’s crystal energy crystal reserves should be lower than those of other spaceships. In the initial void navigation test, knowledge preservation plan, world fragment riding face with the breath of death tide, and various subsequent Purification, and the fleet jump that has been going on for so long, the overall information deviation and correction scale of the flagship are larger than other ships. In other words, the flagship consumes more driving force to complete these information changes. .

However, in fact, at present, the remaining amount of crystal energy storage in each spacecraft of the entire fleet is not very different from each other, and the flagship's storage is actually more - in order to purify the death tide that once permeated the interior of the spacecraft, Every ship has different levels of wear and tear.

During these more than a thousand years, time seems to have frozen. Since most of the cumbersome and redundant cabins and spacecraft structures have been stopped, the remaining routine inspections have become extremely simple. Only the power furnace and the main order need to be inspected. The field information circulates the crystal mesh and the crystal energy rails around the storage bank just fine.

As for key facilities such as the mathematical rate core, they are located directly on the bridge of the spacecraft, which is one of the few places where there are "living people" on the spacecraft. They are under the strict surveillance of these only living people at all times.

On the current material basis, it is difficult to continue any large-scale innovative experiments or tests, and most of the remaining research can only start from the level of laying theoretical foundations. After a long period of research, several flagship scientists have made some theoretical progress in macro-information control. However, due to current resource constraints, they are unable to conduct actual verification. This part of the theoretical research has also begun to stall. After all, There is also an end to imagination.

The only more gratifying result on the material level is that the communication network bandwidth between fleets has once again been enhanced - relatively speaking, it is limited to lower levels.

Achieving such results is not a result of new discoveries or new ideas. This result is based on the current equipment: with the previous theoretical foundation and mathematical rate core and Zhai Cahill's "sacrifice" of eyes again After that, Xingming Civilization realized detailed controllable modulation of high-frequency crystal energy for the first time.

Cavenriel and the others now know that when the crystal energy vortex first erupted, whether it was the golden ocean rolling around the rift in the void or the faint light spreading throughout the universe through special radiation, most of these golden entities were actually The above are all secondary crystal energies with lower frequencies that have begun to decay to varying degrees toward the "ordered solidified state", which is the theoretical third level of void. These secondary crystal energies are indeed relatively easy to control, but at the same time, there are considerable problems in the use of such "inferior" crystal energies:

After crossing the threshold of missing mathematical rate equipment, star civilization began to possess the power to significantly interfere with and even modify the mapping relationship between all things. According to the historical records in the blockade, the Mathematical Rate Core was first used to analyze information bodies that were once regarded as black boxes of principles, such as information disturbance materials, and to try to create artificial creations in the true sense.

Regarding the latter point, the disadvantages of severe decay and low-frequency crystal energy that already have material tendencies have been identified at the earliest stage: these information fluctuations have begun to show the inherent laws of relative solidification. This transformation allows the mathematical rate core to "process information" Assignment" becomes much more difficult, or even impossible to perform at all.

Therefore, even in the face of exponentially increasing dangers, research related to more pure primary information fluctuations, that is, high-frequency crystal energy, has been carried out quite early and has never been interrupted, including the collection of high-frequency crystal energy, which is compatible with high-frequency crystal energy. Materials and even the information formula of high-frequency crystal energy itself are difficult and risky projects.

At that time, the Federation had been subject to the laws of the universe for too long. After a ray of light appeared, even if only the "awake" part could study this light shining from outside the world, they would spare no effort to try to break this light at all costs. The shackles that Tao has put on his neck for tens of billions of years.

However, now, on the Ark Fleet, this process is reversed to a certain extent.

After possessing sufficient operating means, high-frequency crystal energy is indeed more convenient for the mathematical rate core to assign and shape it. This process can enable the crystal energy to provide the driving force that can change the information in accordance with the requirements of the fleet.

But in other aspects that are relatively closer to individual survival, high-frequency crystal energy seems to have successes and failures: in the unified theory of information, crystal energy is at the first level, and its existence is equal to the world frequency of a world. level, higher than everything that exists in the world.

For individual members of the star civilization who are still generalized organisms, this level is too high - they are quite dangerous. The violent properties of high-frequency crystal energy are on the one hand, but the more important point is: if high-frequency crystal energy needs to be assigned to a level that can be understood by current organisms and can be stably utilized, then such energy, even if it is a trace amount, will have an uncertain future. The amount of low-level information generated after the aspects are unfolded is also scary.

A large amount of resources will be wasted due to non-directional solidification during the expansion process. Except for the knowledge preservation plan because the amount of knowledge is too huge, it is suitable to directly use the mathematical rate core to guide the crystal energy assignment and store it in the crystal. It is worth paying. Such a price.

But for other relatively conventional levels, the actual use of high-frequency crystal energy is more difficult. And if it is only assigned to the level that can guide void navigation, this information will burn out all the receiving organs and thinking organs of ordinary people.

Because of these problems, only for people living in the Ark, the role of high-frequency crystal energy is basically to become an information flow rushing in the crystal energy rails after being slightly modulated, and then separate a little margin under a controlled state , dispersed in the lights and purifying beams that light up the ship in a form similar to optical radiation. After being strengthened by the body and soul, the crystal energy environment is no longer fatal. On the other hand, exposure to such relatively mild crystal energy In an energy environment, the degree of fusion can be further increased and the stability of the soul can be enhanced.

The "down-frequency" process among all modulation steps is to use the mathematical rate core to purposefully guide the high-frequency crystal energy to perform down-frequency and stable assignment of some information points without generating too much useless information redundancy, thereby making Those powerful information fluctuations that have almost no substance are reduced in level, solidified, and then differentiated into parts that retain their original properties, while others are closer to conventional matter states, making them safer and easier to use for biology and conventional technology.

After modulation, under the same crystal energy throughput, the communication wave can carry far more information than the previous default high-frequency crystal energy period.

At the same time, Vidoville also discovered an interesting point: limiting the infinite speed of crystal energy to a certain extent can greatly enhance its destructive power. The scope of application of this property is not yet known, but it should be available in the future. Very useful.

…

Now the two emperors, who were almost inseparable, came to the biological research area located below the hall, which was only really identified on the eve of the establishment of the Star Empire.

Ikarim's entry point into aspects related to creatures and souls is limited, so he does not have much involvement in research in this area. However, the other three are quite interested in this. After all, these people are among the best. Scientists, regardless of other aspects, simply speaking from the professional habits they have developed over tens of millions of years of life, it is difficult for them to remain idle for too long when they can do something to study.

Of course, except for Mr. Zhai Cahir before his soul transformation.

"New progress has been made in biological research?" Looking at the simplified holographic window matrix in front of Isendel, Vidoville finally aroused some interest.

"Your Majesty, we have indeed made new progress." Eisendel happily greeted the two emperors who had just appeared, but almost instantly, his expression returned to tranquility and indifference: "Please let me first Please note that the results achieved this time are still theoretical.”

"...It's so straightforward." Weisruifan nodded slightly with a smile. "Okay, okay, theoretical results. Let's take a look at these newly discovered theoretical results first."

"Follow your orders." Isendel closed all the auxiliary windows around him, then activated a golden light screen in front of him and enlarged it so that the contents inside could be clearly seen from any corner of the small cabin. .

"Is this...??" Vidoville looked at the picture on the screen with hesitation, "Spirit creature?"

"No, Your Majesty." Isendel shook his head, "After being "promoted" under this achievement, we will still maintain our current form, but the difference is that all the tissues in the body will be replaced. It is crystal energy or crystal energy related equipment. There are indeed some vague changes in the picture that make the body look like a spiritual body, but what those constantly floating shadows really represent is the possible evolution and development direction of new life forms. "

"As long as the soul can adapt to such a high-frequency crystal energy environment, it is very likely that the soul will in turn affect the properties of the body."

"You know, the "order uncertainty" of crystal energy, or the "First Force of the Void" is quite high. Every soul can almost be said to be unique. When a powerful soul accumulates enough special information, It is possible to produce high-frequency crystal energy variants and "the first force of the void" with completely different properties."

"To achieve these steps, we first need to continue to strengthen the soul until its self-consistent closure property can exist stably in the crystal energy environment, enough to face the direct irradiation of high-frequency crystal energy. This part seems to be more difficult now. , but judging from the progress we have made before, it is not impossible to break through these difficulties."

"Currently, our main work is focused on how to create a body in this life form. Although theoretically such a body does not require absolutely distinct organs, due to current practical constraints, we still need to create a body on the actual material level. The upper part to harmonize the soul.”

"This next point is my personal opinion and that of Cavinrel: It should be said that such a body can introduce energy from external sources, that is, it can maintain the crystal energy content by absorbing crystals like eating, but considering that we have At the level of biological research that can be achieved, I personally suggest that it is better to directly implant the crystal energy reactor in the body, so that we can maintain sustainability."

"...This isn't progress, it's a leap, right?" Vidoville tilted his head and looked at the two chief scientific officers on the other side of the screen, "Why does it sound a bit unrealistic to me?"

"Your Majesty, these contents can be realized, but we currently lack the experimental conditions."

Cavinrel reminded aloud, "On the direct information level, we have not escaped the category of "primitive man", including now. However, in the previous universe, since we could not change the laws of the universe, it was difficult for us to change it. To achieve breakthroughs in more fundamental aspects, during that period we could only squeeze the full potential of the existing equipment and technologies at hand again and again, including our bodies that can live for hundreds of millions of years, which were also trained under this situation. "

"The relevant technology cannot be used if it is directly grafted onto crystal energy, but at least the concepts are retained. I think that if conditions permit, we can skip the previous steps as much as possible. The ideas and concepts are universal. You specifically emphasized this to me."

"In this case, we should be able to try similar single-body experiments now, right?" Weisruifan crossed his arms and looked at the huge golden humanoid pattern in front of him, "Our crystal energy reserves should be sufficient now, and... …”

"Biotechnology has always been very dangerous, Your Majesty."

Eisendel immediately interrupted Weisrifan's thoughts: "We are group creatures. Living in this environment, everyone will constantly exchange information with each other. The information here can be at various levels. After the formation of civilized "super-organisms", the frequency and quantity of exchanges will only become higher and higher, so we must ensure that the lives existing in the existing ethnic groups are safe."

"It doesn't matter if there are unsafe factors during the research process, but in this case we must ensure that we have enough power to completely eliminate the individuals with abnormalities due to experimental failures, and no scum can be left."

"Looking at it now, there are too many variables in crystal energy life compared to our current form. There are so many variables that it is impossible to fully think about them. Experiments must be carried out. Such a huge number of experiments itself requires the consumption of precious souls. After all, now After fusing crystal energy, the complexity of the soul is much higher, making it difficult for us to mass-produce it."

"Mutual variables also consume a lot of energy. More importantly, high-frequency crystal energy life forms are on par with the most powerful erasure methods we can create. We cannot ensure that once harmful individuals are actually produced, they will be able to We have the ability to kill it in time. If we can do it in time, our spaceship will not be able to bear it."

After listening to the long speeches of the two science officers, Vidoville and Weisrifan were relieved of their concerns. The theory of progress was only one aspect, and the fact that biological progress was not promoted rashly was another aspect. The more important part lies in Isendel's last sentence.

It seems that at least among the current Ark fleet, there has been a real thinking of one's own.
