Star Empire

"The entire fleet began to activate joint shields and independent shields in all directions, the concentration of virtual information in the networked iterative array began to skyrocket, existence deflection beacons were generated, the long wall of immortality unfolded, the basic attributes of the border began to activate, crystal energy-arcane The resonance of the stellar network begins, the directional arcane correction field, the strong reality stabilization field unfolds, and the activation of the world space order is completed."

Although Vidoville had ordered all combat preparations to be carried out when he noticed the anomaly, the decisive battle flagship still appeared in this relatively undefended world before the imperial fleet was fully prepared.

"However... it seems that right now, they don't seem to be able to carry all the effects directly with them. At present, some fields have to be launched before the battle."

During the final pause, Vidoville noticed this strange gap, but he did not dare to speculate until more events were completely proven by reality.

Regarding these almost unimaginable super battleships, although Vidoville has dealt with them to a certain extent, except for some general information given by the unknown database that once existed inside the Arcane Throne, and the events that once led to In the melee in which the empire was almost completely destroyed, some experience reports obtained by Eskett, Cassia and others based on partial observations of actual combat, as well as some experience reports based on the status of the decisive battle flagship during the research during this period Apart from some possible speculations, the entire empire knows very little about these super battleships, including Vidoville and Void Sun.

Even the "Decisive Flagship Functional Branch" is a temporary code name for enemy tactics formulated by Vidoville based on previous speculations - the establishment of the Decisive Flagship The Empire can only summarize it as a "fleet", and the details... exists in all kinds of speculation.

However, now, with the emergence of this direct invasion, some attributes that may have never been observed before are now more or less exposed, or at least in the evaluation and perception of people who can understand these things, for The decisive battle flagship may have a rough foundation for everything now.

For example, the direct destination of the decisive battle flagship this time is the world that has long been the additional command center and the military base of the Zero Sky Zone, rather than the Void Sun that spits out the blazing flames of information flow in the true heart of the empire.

This may explain from some directions that these corrupted fleets of Σ have not completely given up on all perception and judgment methods from the aspect of order:

The Void Fierce Sun has the highest existence, or it has the highest information brightness and concentration in the entire empire. These disturbances are so high that the empire recognizes that it is difficult to handle and are very "bright". They are almost impossible to be detected by the conventional world. Resonance and activity suppress, block and shield - no matter how blurry she is, she will be like a bright disk in the night.

If the Σ fleet has completely used agnostic chaos logic, its activity range can probably be judged based on the fragmented information that has been intercepted and deciphered so far - it bites everything and drowns everything in a blind and chaotic attitude, without any additional process. , and their individual behaviors should be more chaotic but tend to be consistent on a macro scale.

From the current point of view, the enemy is in an intermediate state between the two theoretical groups. Then, at least in the current broken and decipherable battlefield environment, the imperial fleet will not be too dangerous relatively speaking.

For another example, this time's speculation about the "Decisive Flagship Functional Branch" is the result of the calculation and deduction that Vidoville came up with after Erwin's territorial fleet was half-killed by Σ's flagship Eclipse last time. ——The overall attack mapping in any sense requires the existence of three things to be established - the attacker, any event that can be abstractly defined as an attack, and the attacked. Once any one of them is missing, the entire system loses its basis for existence.

And according to the meaning provided by the database that looks like a black ball, Victorville may have been to his own body countless times over thousands of years, during a time when he had lost some sense of reality. The investigation and analysis and the subsequent perception and research of oneself, either clearly or in confusion, have to a considerable extent blurred the "boundary line" and the "eternal wall" with the operating system that has only one name, but it has been Correspondence of credentials——

Vidoville doesn't know if he still has room to further expand and improve performance, but he knows that after the Border Line and the Immortal Wall are fully activated and their functions are fully activated, even the redundant power left by his own power assignment system will It can be said that Yu was very nervous after removing the functions of other systems. Therefore, based on the joint speculation of the control level premise of the technical extreme deduction module and the previously obtained information, the decisive battle flagship was temporarily divided by what he believed to be a ship that could only be equipped with attack mapping. One of three outputs on a system that can produce effects.

The attacker's will to attack, the attacker's own way of existence, and the existence of the attacked - when all three subjects fall to one of them, I am afraid that the other party will be unable to take this action.

However, at least part of the current situation does not exceed the scope delineated by the assessment and deduction of Vidoville and the entire empire - "This should be regarded as an affirmation. We are now basing the scope on the actual basis and based on the existing data." The method of deducing sexual orientation is correct..."

With the two most basic performance measurement standards of the soul host, which possesses the ultimate level of chaos information matching under the ultimate technology, and the power output source, Vidoville believes that its single combat effectiveness and joint control capabilities should be no less than the decisive battle. The flagship, at least, is no less than "the part you see".

Verifying speculations and determining the scope of imagination can probably be regarded as the affirmation obtained by the empire in the process of retrieving its own values ​​​​and its entire cognitive system including its own worldview - as the old cognitive system changes with Σ After the complete collapse of the blockade, interference and suppression and the exposure of tens of billions of years of surveillance by the Dark Star Fortress, the empire has been using consequentialism to verify whether the things performed by the super-individual are appropriate and reasonable in the following hundreds of thousands of years:

Speculation and imagination still exist, but for most people and most of the time, the reference value of these contents that need to be derived based on the results is very low - because completing this process requires subjective intervention, not subjective intervention. The will reacts directly to reality and then is deemed appropriate or subconscious. As for whether subjective will, thought itself and the derivation method are reliable, no one can directly say clearly at this time.

Therefore, whether everyone is fully engaged in studying the runes of truth, or following fleets large or small to explore the vast universe in the void, or whether observers in the past or present report reports-summaries, and Speculations that are partially corroborated by the real world or partially corroborated occupy the absolute mainstream of information, and these contents are actually recorded in an objective and realistic way as much as possible - conjectures and inferences can only be placed later, and then through the big data Summarize the numbers to build a fuzzy model.

Therefore, in addition to the emperor-level guessing guidance that must be performed by the first and second authority level individuals, as well as the unlimited deduction of the enemy's strength, many individuals related to it are actually still in a certain degree. Subconsciously restricted - still the most direct example, in the process of research on the possibility of arcane magic at the national level, there were not many parts in the reports that were valuable or even significantly different from each other. Prediction and conjectures are suppressed and affected invisibly.

If the high-level conjecture of this duel flagship can be completely confirmed to be within the allowable range, then the entire empire's understanding of the external environment and its own analysis, evaluation and recovery will be of great help - after acquiring more After determining the appropriate interval and obtaining the mapping relationship of this interval, these may also be generalized. At the same time, to a certain extent, the sense of identification with certain events, situations and practices in the past may be re-increased, and it may even be possible to a certain extent. Restore some of the past, correct but also one-size-fits-all values.

The rapid changes in the real environment may have obscured many things in the entire civilization's existence system, and reason and unity have also obscured many things. However, in any case, it is not good to exist under the condition of lacking a cognitive system. of.

…

"Consider the possible weight of the ontology of the decisive battle flagship... The absolute number of the current invasion fleet is indeed very large, but if you consider the data and memories of the past... there are too many proportional distribution problems, and it is difficult to estimate. The units under these decisive battle flagships How many more will there be..."

"However, it was finally too late..." After the decisive battle flagship team poured into the garrison world of the Zero Day Area, in the shortest possible time, Vidoville searched for all possible disturbances in the environment as much as possible. He gathered all his inferences and all his thoughts, and then compressed these conjectures with the highest information concentration and divided them into two batches - one batch was uploaded directly to the empire's main network, while the other batch existed independently And transmitted back to the hinterland of the empire through the void channel.

The "border" phenomenon of the world has become blurred, and under the control of unknown species, the world has begun to be blocked.

In the entire world, a vague reflection of darkness has quietly jumped into every space rank equation. The communication between itself and the outside world is already in a critical state - if this was before the cataclysmic change, " During the "Pre-Empire" period, once the emperor's authority was completely offline, even requests from the Chaos Network would be paralyzed because the sending and receiving requests of the basic physical structure could not be responded to, and what followed was the collapse of the entire empire.

So far, it is still difficult to describe whether this series of events is unfortunate or fortunate, but at least the current empire will not come to a complete halt due to the deaths of those two people who are almost the same as ordinary people.

"The pulsed virtual information projection to support the imperial fleet has been launched...the intelligence summary has been completed..." Looking at all the events in his stream of consciousness that had been checked almost instantly, Vidoville relaxed easily. One breath.

In the next shortest moment, the overwhelming omnidirectional firepower from the empire, covering almost all activated space axes, and the crazy counterattack of the Σ fleet that responded almost simultaneously, overwhelmed everything in this world.

Under the influence of the enemy's top-level units at the decisive battle flagship level, it is difficult to perform reverse retrospection and accurate prediction and judgment on them, and considering the space rank that must be activated, it can basically be said to rely on the background environment. A slight secondary distortion is used to completely block out almost all "splash damage" outside the target's existence lock path. Therefore, after more discussions, preset weapons such as "Space Dark Mine" are also temporarily like the imaginary void trap. They have also been removed from the first equipment echelon - maybe they will still have a chance to shine in the future, but it will probably take a long, long time.

"Woo--buzz~~"

"That's?!" Vidoville reacted subconsciously, but as the enemy fleet was larger and relatively more networked, even if he faced such an unexpected situation, It was a bit hard to resist at times - the scream, which sounded like the roar of the vengeful spirit in the imagination of the past civilization, appeared suddenly, like a thunderbolt, cutting through the chaotic space that shimmered with alluring brilliance, and then appeared again in the same place. Disappeared in an instant.

The blood-red light beam slightly squeezed out the surrounding space constraints and directly hit the entire protective layer with undiminished intensity. Some kind of cruel "chain reaction" exploded directly with the distortion and deflection of the powerful information torrent. Then, they began to spread in many directions, even far beyond the battlefield, and into everyone's hearts and memories.

"But...but what was that sound..." Vidoville wanted to trace something, but then, the second and third rounds of blood-red beam pillars that could penetrate the whole world came one after another, with countless ripples. It exploded on one side of the immortal wall, and then disappeared without a trace as the information directional assignment expired.

It was as if even his own memory was denying reality. Before a certain bombing began, the shrill and short sound almost disappeared as soon as it appeared, leaving no room for him, the flagship of the empire, to pursue it.

…

From the perspective of ordinary life, there may only be chaotic light and shadow and distorted matter here. Several layers of order and authority fields with different concepts and application methods from both sides are fiercely competing for every inch of space in the entire world, every space rank equation, and every inch of information. Evolve, control every detail of the battlefield.

Among the chaotic lights and shadows that are almost mixed together, there are only dim scarlet rays, a series of vague afterimages that are almost impossible to capture, information annihilation missiles that are so fast that they are difficult to intercept, and the gap that seems to appear out of thin air from the "solar eclipse" The source of will correction broadcasted from the flashing red starlight inside; the crystal energy/arcane resonance main gun flashing like a star, the bright white starlight jet of white matter, alternately evolving, the forbidden spell of reincarnation taking effect, creating something out of nothing and returning to nothingness. Evolving in an instant, it constantly lights up and disappears in the depths of darkness, providing a bonus information star network for the Imperial fleet to burn itself...

Every single one of these would be enough to completely obliterate the foundation of the world's existence.

And now, in the shadowy confrontation, these terrifying attack methods are being superimposed by both sides regardless of the cost. After the order of magnitude that requires scientific notation can be measured, they are violently splashed on the basic information stability that the other party insists on every moment. The critical area of ​​scope - the area affected by the strong reality stability field, the area affected by the wide-area fusion field of order correction, or near the "Immortal Wall" filled with the empire's information stability field.

"Issuing a range-wide general flagship order, all battleships began to flow their calculation processing capabilities to the augmented reality stable field networking iterative array, as well as related equipment such as directional arcane fields that can expand the battlefield range, and began to record key data..."

…

In the long-term bombardment of opposing ends of the world's two poles, the world has begun to move toward irreversible distortion on a macro scale.

Under the resistance of the super-conceptual network node broadcast increase of the general flagship, this world's cosmic benchmark stable anchor still maintains contact with the vast imperial main network, and external battle reports can still be transmitted within the scheduled time. On both sides The movement is extremely fast, and the artillery fire that is enough to penetrate the universe can complete a convergence and volley in dozens of minutes.

However, in order to achieve some substantial results, it requires such firepower, which is almost impossible for ordinary civilizations, to go back and forth on the battlefield for hundreds or even thousands of years. Only two parties at the same level can have one party. Eventually, as the legacy vulnerabilities expand and become irreversible, they eventually collapse.

As technology and application are gradually reaching their extremes, and even a single thought can cause disturbance to the world in the void, war at the highest level now looks like queuing up to shoot or even two predators when stripped out The wrestling confrontation is general - to a certain extent, this may be somewhat similar to a Möbius strip...

…

The drastic changes have caused the inherent trend of the development of all information here to begin to blur, and time seems to have become somewhat distorted. Some contents that the former Federation and the former Empire may never understand are being gradually exposed under the fierce firefight, and before being annihilated by the two shining white gold and purple luster, they are large enough to require the use of weapons. The huge flying wing that measures its macroscopic shell structure in astronomical units is cracked, translated, and recorded.

After a long period of time, the enemy's final concentration of false and true information has begun to tremble near a terrifyingly high effective upper limit.

Fortunately, for now, this value is acceptable.

"...Your Majesty, the first omnidirectional intelligence collection and response method evaluation activity for all territorial fleets has been completed, and the guess verification has been completed - the empire's old cognitive system and thinking activity system still have certain merits."

"The upper limit has been found...Although the price is high, at least...we now know better what we may face in the future..."

"...At least, now we know that our enemy is by no means indestructible or invincible. Hope is slim, but we still have a chance..."

Within the world, trillions of purple stars condensed and collapsed from the purest arcane energy began to resonate in a strange way - in the originally chaotic information environment, some parts were slowly quieting down.

The world was opposed, and outside the long wall on the "other side", some platinum-gold light streams that did not belong to the original stable operating environment pierced the vast space and spread unstoppably in the darkness.

“The divine will…points to establishment.”

"Reverse reflection...established!"
