Star Empire

"Your Majesty? Are you okay?"

"No, it's nothing."

"Isendel, are there any other breakthroughs in this new life form?"

"Yes, in addition to possible evolution and greatly stable life intensity, through high-level life forms, we can also give full play to the possible spiritual power contained in the soul."

"mental strength?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Eisendel made a gesture with his right hand in the air. The human body displayed on the golden light screen was separated into two layers. One layer was relatively more solid, while the other layer was more solid than before. The soul is still illusory.

"The first layer is the "current" body after transformation, and the illusory human body on that layer can be regarded as an independent part of the soul, that is, the spiritual component."

"Spiritual power can maintain the activity of the body and soul, and is also the immune zone and buffer zone to resist all kinds of external mental invasion. In the old days, due to physical limitations, in addition to relying on equipment to forcibly restrain the will, it is difficult for us to regain the strength of our souls. At the same time, it is more difficult to resist those information memes with weird effects on their own, but now, this part can be greatly improved."

"Our lifespan can theoretically reach one billion years, but in the later stages, we will actually become more and more aging and sluggish. In the last 300 million years, we can only rely on things like petri dishes to maintain physical life activities. If we want to To make full use of the entire period of life and not lose yourself over a long period of time, it is necessary to have a strong and stable soul, at least current research supports this understanding."

"Indeed, for immortal creatures, a soul that is strong enough to maintain itself for a long time is indeed very important."

Vidoville nodded seriously, "I have been listening to this part just now, but there is a question: if a soul lasts too long, will it accumulate more and more fixed content at the same time, or even Will it be passed on too much? Although I can't confirm whether there is an obvious connection, the resistance of the Aldosil Council and the vast majority of the people to the promotion of information unification is too strong. It’s obviously not normal.”

"This part... was subject to the situation. We had to take drastic measures at the time. It was indeed a legal requirement at the time to force an explanation of any incident within six years, but such a large-scale cognitive reshuffle should still be carried out. A longer period of preparation would have been appropriate, and our approach in Parliament at the time was somewhat forceful...but all of this probably shouldn't have been a problem."

"No, if we don't act too hastily, it is possible that we will no longer exist now. Some time after the crystal energy vortex erupted, I began to have a feeling, "There is not much time, we must be as soon as possible."

"In the past, I thought that the reason for such an idea was the experiences of previous scientists and the opposition of federal subjects, but later I am afraid there are other sources... This is also the reason why we must be cautious in our research now - we don't know that we are under disturbance. How far has it deviated from the right track, and the source of these disturbances... is probably buried in the void together with the fragment of the world."

"Forget it, it's all over... The Void and the Death Wave have probably completely eliminated everything... Let's look forward to more parts. I'm sorry, Essendel, please continue to explain the issue of new life forms."

"Yes. In fact, this part does need to be paid attention to, but in such a life form, the part that belongs to the biochemical plug-in will become a complete part of our life and soul. We can control ourselves almost 100%. "To have complete control over ourselves without having to turn devices on and off to change our personality and mental state - we will be in complete control of our own will."

"The previous inertia of thinking can be said to be caused by the mutual influence between the soul and the plug-in to a certain extent. After all, the machine is also an aggregation of information, and it does not really guarantee absolute logic as we imagined before. After tens of thousands of years of interpenetration, the soul will always affect the work of the machine, and it will also make the plug-in slaves more accustomed to setting the settings according to the previous parameters after replacement. Generally speaking, new life forms Compared with the previous general body, it can still be said to be an improvement."

"Your Majesty, after this life upgrade, the separated part, that is, the spiritual power, has a new use. It can become a reliable storage location for our carry-on storage."

"...? So we can use the spirit to create possible space structures?"

Vidoville's eyes brightened, "This is a completely new part. But how to do it? The old technology... in the final period was achieved by using space folds, but maintaining the warped space requires an external device that consumes a lot of energy. Space constraint devices, and the range of influence of these devices is quite limited. Beyond the range of influence, you can only use plug-in methods to carry various devices. If the spiritual world can really take over the unstable machine creation and become a part of us, then It can be said to be quite an initiative.”

"It is indeed possible. This part was discovered during model simulation later. Under the unified theory of information, information is everything. Under this premise, the gap between the real world and the virtual world can even be said to be quite large. Small, as long as the spiritual power is strong enough and can call enough information, the spiritual creation can be materialized, and then the external creation can be stored in the spiritual world through the reverse mapping of this process."

"This part may need to rely on additional mental maintenance for the time being, but it should be possible to make this part independent by adding additional maintenance equipment... We don't dare to ensure too much content... This part is very different."

"At least in my opinion, such a life form can be said to be perfect." Vidoville nodded, "Powerful spiritual power, with a high enough level and information content to resist external disturbances, more autonomous and evolvable Soul hopes that those theoretical contents can be implemented into practical applications as soon as possible."

"However, judging from the current situation, this may not be possible for a long time until we regain a world of order before we can obtain all kinds of supplies, including crystal energy."

Weisruifan glanced at the ceiling. Far away from the crystal rails, there was a small piece of metal that had an abnormal appearance, as if it had been melted to half and then cooled and solidified directly. This was during the last high-energy experiment. Traces of burns from the out-of-control jet emitted from the Mathematical Rate Core.

"There are some things that cannot be said yet, and there are some issues that we cannot delve too deeply into - even if we may have made a mistake on the surface, even if we still have to consider the stability of the entire fleet and the current understanding of possibilities, we cannot make it happen now. Everything is rational and good.”

"We are very likely to have multiple faults in history and perception, and these faults may cover all of our history and knowledge. We cannot forcefully reverse the entire fleet civilization now, and our tools should not only have the so-called height now."

"That...fortress, how much of our information does it control and influence?"

"Unpredictable, unimaginable..."

"Make sure all information is blocked and such thoughts are strictly prohibited from being made public. At least not now."

Void.

In this endless sea of ​​chaos, where even the concept of "darkness" has not yet been born, a layer of silvery dim light film props up an order bubble suspended in this ocean. After the order field is stabilized, A slender battleship appeared from the center of the order field. The cross-shaped silver star-like hull is light and strong. Even if you just look at it from a distance, you can clearly feel the holiness and solemnity surrounding the battleship.

"Situation summary report, we have reached the target."

"According to the agreement, this is the time for the 42nd existence verification with Σ. Are you ready?"

"Already prepared."

In the order field, the "wings" condensed by light slowly opened. In an instant, the fixed information module that had been used dozens of times was injected into the track, and the activation was quickly completed - except for those "rails" that slightly lit up the space, everything else seemed like nothing happened. Pass.

Ranking takes time.

"...I can see that you have concerns about this." There was no stable and clear space in the ship, and two of the shadows shuttled through it stopped for just a moment.

"A long time ago, Σ's overall will began to show... extreme aspects. Even before the existential interoperability agreement was signed, their actions were already extreme... Their contact with us became less and less, and in the end they even expelled us All our envoys have completely blocked the country's borders, and this kind of communication is the only way they can still keep in touch with us."

"Is what we are currently doing lacking a little bit? Or should we allow such an incident to happen like this? We have used many models to measure this matter. What they have done can be said to have gone beyond building bridges. It should be within the scope of what it should be... If this continues..."

"Maybe it's their plan... Maybe we don't fully understand the meaning. After all, such a large amount of contact with the chaotic sea... Without enough buffers, without enough resistance and tenacity, many things cannot be done. At least. They are now exerting their influence within the borders of the country... In short, in the long history, Σ is very rare, a cluster of civilizations that can talk to us in parallel from all aspects... Moreover, our laws are used to Restrain yourself.”

"Although there are many problems to be faced, the Will of the Void still allows Σ's approach. Σ... The bridge building and related plans that were once announced and promised are indeed very important - and it is undeniable that they may have really gone now. We are farther than anyone else, and we cannot point fingers at this just because we feel that we have been surpassed, or that our authority is no longer unique... It never should be."

"Building bridges should be the common goal between all top civilizations. It is related to whether the endless order can maintain its survival, and at least... the existential interoperability agreement guarantees the sharing of civilizational achievements. Under this goal, do something unexpected It’s something they are doing, and it’s their own order control area...it’s not unacceptable. As for the back, with their size..."

After careful consideration, Donghua Xingyi, who came according to the agreement that had been implemented for tens of billions of years, still shook his head.

"The last... and the last experiment we barely knew about... the kings of the world suffered heavy losses because of the failure of the experiment. They did not get the existence they wanted. Maybe later, they found a new alternative method... …These are not certain. After all, the technology trees used by us and them are too different from each other. No matter which side is, it is quite difficult to understand the technology used by the other party... In the void, we are not omniscient and omnipotent. At this level... we It is also impossible to judge with absolute accuracy whether what others are doing is appropriate.”

"In the final analysis, I understand. But the Will of the Void does not recommend it. We alone...we do not have enough strength to make such a response in this situation. Σ is indeed worthy of attention, but their civilization is not the only one in the void. God The world does not only include us, we are just a part of the divine world. There are many other things in the void that require the attention of our compatriots... In fact, it is not just this part, we are all just a corner of the void."

"...From our perspective, they have been a little too impatient in the past, and we don't know that in so many years..." The adjutant next to Donghua Xingyi sighed softly.

"Successfully building a bridge requires not only technology, but also precise docking of the two sides... At least accurately connect to the other side, or directly find the possible void will on the other side and get help... Whichever one of these requires too much. Those who have only The existence of the previous generation of remaining tombstones has proven that building bridges is very dangerous, and even the success of such a large-scale operation includes quite a lot of content that is mysterious to us... They really still have Do you have the patience to wait for all this..."

"About this, I think... there is no need to worry too much. If there is a real correspondence, then there must be a certain mapping relationship between the top civilizations distributed on both sides of the void. They have very advanced navigation technology in chaotic seas, and they cannot reach the other side. Question. Under the previous premise, Σ’s technology should be enough to resist the mutation of existential basic templates, and with enough time and attention, it will effectively change the future and the possibility of destiny..."

"No matter what, I believe that the super civilization on the other side, whether developed by mortals like Σ, or created by the Lord like us, should be connected with each other. After fully understanding the situation, the other side will They should accept this plan, after all, it is related to the existence of each side on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, and even if they fail to do this, they should be able to rely on their ability to sail on both sides of the Taiwan Strait... No matter what the situation, they should be able to handle it... But ΣThe final state... I hope."

The young adjutant nodded and retreated. The tall figure with a faint blue electric light around his body continued to stare at the existence map in front of him, but it could be directly projected into his heart.

His expression gradually became a little solemn, and strange feelings that had not appeared in tens of billions of years began to gradually emerge in his heart.

While gods exist as the pinnacle of ordered life in the void, their own powerful physical qualities and the ability to control all things with information given by the will of the void, as well as the eternal time and dust-laden secrets... these attributes make the gods themselves directly Located at the apex of void civilization, however...

The extreme development of Σ seems to have caused some previous understandings to have quietly changed...

It seems very rare that the environment around him, including the Will of the Void, seems to have vaguely changed. To be precise, there is a hint of ambiguity.

As one of the frontier god-kings in the Kingdom of God, I am afraid that... I am not here just to comply with the agreement.

The long time and solidified reality seem to have made me forget something, no, I must have forgotten or even lost something.

[Dongting Shenque] is one of the common names agreed upon by several ancient races that are finally connected with Tianshu colored glaze for their homeland based on their own understanding. For some reason, this word seems to be whispering something faintly now. In the desolation and endlessness, the divine words containing all meanings seem to be warning.

Although the changed attitude will attract attention, the endless and distant abyss of void and the unchanged... maybe it is the pattern?

Avoid? avoid? Neglect? When did everything become like this?

No...these factors and the stacking of these questions have prevented the reality from changing too obviously. If I must say it, it is...

It’s too quiet, it’s been quiet for too long, so long that everything starts to be worth asking:

What have everyone done for tens of billions of years? Was it forgotten, or was it too long that even I couldn't explain the lag that caused time to pass in vain? Or is it possible that other factors are at work in an area that even I don't know clearly? Or is it that failure to pay attention once or twice has led to this abnormal reality that can no longer be concealed?

The Will of the Void once seemed to hint that there are some, or many, issues that cannot be clarified yet. Even if they are clarified, they may not be understood. Even if they are right in front of us and are very practical, they also require time and require everyone to explore together - —Is that the idea of ​​the will of the void, or the distortion and negligence of my own memory...

In a daze, it seemed that many of the solid edges and shapes had melted, and a lot of history and memories were quietly submerged in the indescribable unknown. In the midst of mental confusion, there seems to be a dim and unknown pink light that fleetingly disappears...

"No, wait." A flash of thunder flashed in Donghua Xingyi's heart - that was a crisis! !

"What was it just now? What just appeared in the consciousness network?!"

"——Emergency, the outpost did not send a response according to the protocol, and the order field separated from their outpost frequency!"

"...What?!" God's eyes sharpened in an instant. At the same time as he responded, a large number of flying wing-shaped warships had broken into the ship's order field. Under the illumination of silver light, those flashing black and red The patterned black flying-wing battleship is particularly eye-catching.

"Such a chaotic formation... Are there fusion-type chaotic sea pollution on those spaceships? Prepare to fight! Σ has torn up the agreement, this is..."

The shock was quickly suppressed. At the command of the Supreme God, all the crew members were instantly surrounded by a layer of faint blue electric light. These electric lights were similar to the thunder and lightning in nature, but the difference was that the light was wrapped around everyone. The lightning on the individual body also exudes a completely different divine aura.

This is the power of the gods.

In the space rank equation where the order field itself began to vibrate, these intruding small flying wings had already launched an attack on the protoss warships that began to shine with faint blue electric light, and dim black and red shock waves were released from their front ends. It rushed towards the six-pointed silver star in the center of the order field at a speed that was too high to be caught.

Most of the shock waves were intercepted by the arc flashing around the periphery of the protoss warship and the several layers of strong law-level defenses being generated. However, some attacks have passed through the complex mapping established to find loopholes and counterattacks in the endlessly complex structure. Unblocked walls, they bypassed the incomplete defenses, penetrated the temporary auxiliary protective net before the existence transfer began, and disappeared into the silver-white "armor" on the surface of the battleship after stimulating a small ripple. superior.

There were many tiny cracks in the battleship's Tianshu glazed armor, but no matter whether the leaked attack intensity was high or low, it could only create nearly identical, shallow and almost invisible gaps on the battleship's armor surface. After these weird disturbances were eliminated, the charming colorful markings instantly covered the broken gaps, and all the scars were quickly repaired.

"Experimental fire analysis...an unknown information structure appears, which is very complex."

Seeing that their attacks were ineffective, these corrupted flying wings that broke in from the void immediately corrected their coordinates and prepared to attack again. However, the divine warships also responded, and a layer of silver-white warships instantly appeared on the surface. In the faint blue light, at the tips of the four stars serving as the "bridge" of the battleship, the jumping blue energy began to gather and quickly formed spheres radiating with electric light.

Just like the focus of a star prism, the four powerful energy sources at the tips of the starlights of the starship's "elliptical short axis" are concentrated on the tip of the bow as the sword body in front of the battleship, and are activated by the high-level magical array. A dazzling ball lightning quickly formed below.

When those flying wings emerged from the fluctuating space gate and were about to attack the Protoss warship again, a dazzling arc instantly burst out from the bow of the silver warship. The huge blue arc was as fast as a whip. Sweeping the order field and all the tainted time and space directions in the order field, while erasing the existence of all intruding battleships, it also purified the corrupt atmosphere they brought in.

"It is not advisable to stay for a long time. The situation must be reported immediately." Seeing that more and more weak order fields and some strange signals are being separated from the Σ outpost located "forward", the reality has been quickly understood.

"It has exceeded all expectations...disturbance of the real environment...the possibility of instability in behavior patterns...could it be that they have modified all the story connections and memories related to them?" Donghua Xingyi quickly established a strong connection with the Divine Consciousness Conference. , in the calculation, he was responsible for all intuitions. The gods who experienced all this were shocked to find that many of their actions and words... seemed to be more like those sent by the self that even they had forgotten a few trillions of years ago.

Subtly, everything has become a little different. Memory and history may have undergone some real changes, and it seems... the changes are very drastic, as if some kind of covering here is being removed, leaving behind a reality that has long been different.

".The situation has exceeded expectations, major changes have occurred, and the benchmark has completely deviated."

Quietly, the ship disappeared.

A few small waves swept over the place, sweeping away what was left of the place, and then the decaying firepower flooded the place.

On the other side, the glowing plateau in the distant void has completely collapsed, and the pen that could write the fate of countless worlds has been broken. The tide is surging, intertwining countless fates and causes and effects, melting countless worlds, and more and more lives.

Before they wreaked havoc here, they had quietly passed through the mind of God.

In the grand scheme of things, this interaction may be insignificant in terms of scale alone, but how big a story could it be, how far into the future and how dark of an unknown could it be?
