Star Empire

In the gradually fading light flow, the huge hull of the new battleship slowly emerged, as if color and flesh were injected into the silhouette.

At first glance, the style of this giant ship, which is somewhat darker in color, does not match the empire's other existing creations - the empire's various current creations, ranging from functional drones that provide temporary calculation resources for shields. Sub-machine, as large as the Sacred Music Praise Fortress, their own material representation properties. The "colors" expressed in conventional three-rank projections are generally gold, purple, white and other uplifting tones, and the dark brown of the outer shell of this spacecraft The materials reveal a restrained, depressive and heavy feeling.

If you notice the golden-red light flow flowing in the "exposed" part of the pipe network structure on the surface, this attribute makes it look less like the empire's own creation, and more like it was built using Σ's drawings. .

"If I remember correctly, this shape... it looks a bit like an individual from the former Zerg empire that could travel long distances between river systems. The structure of the alienated abyssal ray... is just a curved skeleton and an angular and thick thorn skin. The armor has been replaced. To be able to carry firepower for the fleet, it must have a highly self-consistent and very solid existence. At the same time, it must also have very, very powerful calculation processing capabilities. This highly specialized ship is essential for the current For our empire, it is already quite special.”

The light mist has dissipated, but the light clusters that once formed the light mist have not disintegrated. Kalost, his team of deputies, and many researchers from other regions came to this testing site in a near-physical state.

The main part of the giant ship is composed of two huge "wings" that are similar to wings. From another perspective, it can also be seen as a structure formed by cutting off the tip of a huge diamond-shaped structure, and then digging out a trapezoidal gap extending outward on the side of one of the "obtuse angles". On the other side where the top of the gap "points", the core part of the giant ship is a trapezoidal body that is thicker than the main part. The trapezoid itself extends back from the main body, but its top is not much converged compared to the bottom.

The rigid structural ridges throughout the hull seem to have shaved off some of its direct edges and corners, but have not affected its "overall linear shape." The hull itself bulges slightly upward and downward at the "connection position" between the core part and the main part, and slowly decreases and levels out around it, like a broad staircase. Viewed from the front, the center of the "trapezoidal giant wing" of the spacecraft itself runs through the long axis of the ship body and is "sandwiched" by the thick structures on the upper and lower sides. In the gap, regular and dense constraint pillars-crystal structure matrices are arranged. The bright golden-red blood pulses from the "gap" in the central area of ​​the ship along these structures to the whole body of the spacecraft, like boiling blood.

"The long axis of the three-rank projection is 120 million kilometers long, the short axis is 28 million kilometers long, the maximum thickness is 7.95 million kilometers, and the thickness of the main step part is 6.77 million kilometers. The long axis of the lower section of the core structure of the ship is 34.2 million kilometers, the narrowest part of the stern is 27.7 million kilometers, the extension of the bow end gap is 10 million kilometers, and the restraint top is 500 kilometers. Five hundred thousand kilometers, ray-type basic configuration, well...such a structure was rarely used when it was subject to material restrictions. Such extension will reduce the strength on the one hand, and increase the pressure on the shield system on the other. However, Now... considering the possible symbolic impact, this design was finally established..."

The information flashed through everyone's consciousness, but everyone who could look at the ship here knew clearly what the flagship's identity as the "central core of the position" and what its main system meant.

Even though it may only take a very short moment to read the information, they did not let the information dissipate immediately.

These materials were circulated over and over again, like a group of children sharing and praising each other for the treasure they had built together. Now, people don't have many emotions, and they don't have many behaviors that reflect their excitement and excitement - they just watch this giant ship and the data in their consciousness over and over again, until the on-site clearance warning broadcast starts. .

In this test, the Empire needs to detect the existence of this type of spacecraft and enrich the many attributes of the beacon. This experiment is likely to eventually cause serious damage to the "Zero Ship".

In the gap at the bow of the spacecraft, the central verification array and structural equipment wrapped in the thick armor structure of the ship's core structure quickly entered working condition. Clusters of invisible mapping lightning chains radiate from the gaps in the spacecraft and are accurately connected to the targets that need to be protected - every unit in the entire information star network in the experimental world.

The information concentration point in the world began to be attracted by a tower that became taller and taller. The dim golden-red blood began to flow backwards, converging in reverse direction from where the lightning once ended. In the huge sphere of energy in the center of the ship that seemed to be extremely suppressed, all the "targeted representation attributes" of the shelter targets had been recorded and obscured. cover and deflect. On the other side opposite the Information Star Network, a ball of light filled with destruction had completed all preparation processes before the attack.

After a brief silence, the restraint of the sphere in the center of the "barrier" was suddenly lifted. The golden-red light lit up every inch of space in the entire world that had not been filled with real crystal energy and arcane magic. A blazing beam of light penetrated the world's celestial pole. The information core that had been suppressed for a long time rose up in the center of the ship. The light is bright and solid, as if it is far away yet close at hand. From the perspective of the third order, this brilliant light that penetrates all time orders and space orders instantly obscures all the existing highlights.

No, this is not shielding - it just gathers the reasons why all the targets it protects are attacked and the information attributes that can be locked by the attack mapping into this brilliant light pillar. The order bumps quickly recovered and spread out in a short moment, forming a brilliant but terrifying star sea. The spatial order and time order can still mark all the original goals, but even if such a large-scale change occurs, these The rank of distortion that can be measured in the target's representational properties...is zero! !

The resonant joint main gun array of the fleet block is roaring, and the white matter disassembly ray of Star-Aid Fortress, which is enough to disintegrate the structure and existence attributes of extraordinary information, has torn apart the world structure that has been reinforced layer by layer. The probability created by the forbidden curse of reincarnation Curses, directional arcane lightning chains, and seas of missiles that look like stars are continuously pushed into the battlefield by the huge imperial fleet. However, no matter how powerful these firepowers are, they all create natural but weird paths during their travels. distortion. In the end, they all hit the brilliant beam of light that penetrated the sky and the earth.

The light pillar was somewhat disturbed by the powerful firepower, and streams of light began to seep out of the missing and broken parts, like blood mist sprayed from a broken blood vessel. However, the existence of these anomalies is extremely short-lived - before the Imperial Fleet completes the assignment of the next cluster firepower, the beam of light that is enough to crush the space rank mask has been repaired.

During the experiment, one after another the Empire's "Moving Territory" fleets, which were fully or even over-staffed, entered the testing site. The "Shengmang" field kill ship, which has just entered the stable mass production stage, and the next-generation missiles that are still being tested have also entered the battlefield one after another. By observing their damage to the light beam, we can further clarify the mechanism of their damage to the solid high-concentration and high-density information volume and quantify their performance. As time went by, the light pillar itself began to be gradually weakened, but even so, not a single spark crossed the thunder pool and harmed the World Information Star Network guarded by the barrier.

This endlessly extending beam of light has no end, or in other words, it is its own starting point and end point. During the process of taking effect, the enriched beacon array itself is highly curved to ensure that the original repaired individual beacons it pushes out each time will not be in the same attack range for a long time. If this function does not exist, then even if this new type of ship can deceive Σ's eyes in the first few battles, as long as the number of contacts increases, those powerful corrupted ghosts will inevitably be able to discover the secrets - They have indeed been eroded and corrupted by the death tide, but this does not mean that they have no intelligence at all now.

The presence enrichment beacon array can almost completely replace the original presence deflection beacon array equipped by the discrete core of the fleet. Compared with using sacrifices and half-truths to deflect external disturbances, and using true and complete truth to deceive, is this still considered deception?

…

However, reality soon confirmed that this was not without limits.

While the streamer continues to expand in both tangible and intangible fields, many problems and loopholes inside and outside the design have also begun to appear.

An information body that needs to be protected cannot have two pieces of "representation information" that can be targeted at the same time. Once this rule is broken, the weight of all existential attribute beacons will immediately drop from true to "false" - once the symbolism is lost, the law-level existential deflection beacons will immediately lose their meaning. That will lead to a significant reduction in the actual effectiveness of the entire system.

However, such a huge amount of information cannot be wasted in a vacuum. All targeted attributes contained by the light beam will be continuously refreshed, but the "old" information that has been brushed away will not directly dissipate out of thin air.

After the first weight fails, they will immediately change their shape and be broadcast, becoming a type of virtual information flow that is dispersed throughout the battlefield and can be integrated into most of the real information holes. They are a test of the way life in the field intervenes in reality, and they also mark the beginning of the compensatory test of the narrative layer.

…

Finally, the test ended with the majestic giant wings instantly entering the scene and two pairs of fully extended celestial shafts erupting.

The end of the star array and the divine will represent the highest intensity limit of the empire's intervention in reality. Based on this, Vidoville launched a high-intensity experimental narrative layer strike test on the target. Prior to this, most of the crew members had Evacuated, however, there are still some testers with longer seniority remaining in the ship - these sacrifices are necessary for the sake of countless Imperial lives in the future, and it is certain that their codes and experiences will be forgotten.

——No one knows your names, but your achievements will last forever——

…

When the broken wreckage turned into rolling crystal dust and light mist and dissipated, all the individuals looking at this place looked at the general flagship with a trace of confusion in their eyes. However, this time, the compensatory measures had a basic effect. ——The diffuse compensatory information field has made up for the hole that was torn instantly to a certain extent. Even if some structures have deteriorated, they are still not disconnected from the target origin.

Everyone can still remember everything in it, and on the "other side" of the original battlefield, all the recorders in the protected Information Star Network still retain relevant records. Although many of the details have been blurred, changed, and even distorted, this scale of distortion is not enough to completely make people forget the "big goal" they need to achieve.

And the confusion left to the onlookers can just make up for their sadness and shortcomings - although the material used in the central core of the fortress-level position is not purely a pan-concept/strong law creation, as an empire, it can now use various technologies to It is the first time that the strongest and most self-repairable material made by artificial means has entered actual combat. The ship itself also represents a milestone for the Empire: the Empire's first attempt to completely get rid of the obstacles of physical information and influence everything in the world with supreme perspective and power. For the Imperium and all those who made it and worked on it, it would be cruel for this great creation to be directly destroyed by experimentation. Leaving just the right amount of forgetfulness is also a comfort to others.

There is no doubt that it is not strong enough when compared to the enemies it faces.

However, as long as there is an initial breakthrough and the intersection of this road is discovered, no matter how difficult this road is or how many obstacles it encounters, the empire can try to go on.

"Thank you for your hard work, everyone!"

…

In the process of development, time is one of the best medicines for detecting holes and shortcomings. The vast space and the stacking of samples can further amplify various problems that may originally exist in the samples: there is a small possibility that existential enrichment beacons will strip away the targeted information representation of the sheltered individuals themselves. It will directly deprive the individual of its existence attributes. The "compensation mechanism" in compensatory broadcasting is only moderately successful now, and it still has many loopholes and improvement points. These devices require further modulation and many questions remain.

As a new flagship that has just appeared, the Shengmang class itself still has problems in terms of stable projection, and such an information model also needs to be considered for miniaturization operations - the base number of fleet blocks and various conventional motherships is higher than this. A type of super flagship is much larger, and the effectiveness of a single flagship is limited.

In many interactive attempts, the empire also discovered that field life has problems such as extremely low attention and extremely low responsiveness to the reality structure built using real information. There is no doubt that the unique structure of field life itself makes their thinking and behavior patterns very different from conventional life.

When beings of different forms and levels view everything in the world of order, their basic senses will be hugely different. This has been determined the moment civilization leapt from basic physical life to crystal energy life. However, if we want to completely break the various habitual shackles on behavior and thought left by previous civilizations, it will take a longer time. time and a more determined attitude.

==============

In the void, order is still changing. The initial high-intensity explosion is almost over. The span of ten thousand years, tens of thousands of years, or even hundreds of thousands of years and hundreds of thousands of years is only a blink of an eye. Many changes are just happening in an inconspicuous corner of the current huge order world cluster, nothing more.

Within and outside the vast territory of Σ that was finally formed by the accumulation of trillions of long "years", the attention of the order in the void began to tilt towards this.

The "coalition" of the Gods is constantly advancing into the deeper layers of the wasteland. The fierce attributive collision between the World Ark and the Void Quadrant Management Continent is blocked within the battlefield by the nearly physical power of both sides.

In the silence, the once glorious fleet turned into dissipating noise in the void. The warriors guarding the order were swallowed up silently. The former allies of the order have now become rotten corpses, destroyed by the remaining irrational instincts and the unknown whether they should. Forced by the residual soul called obsession. The collision between the most powerful information bodies in the void makes the "line of fire" shine brightly. Countless stories intersect and collide, and countless "papers" that are either independent or adhering to each other overlap and burn...

But no matter how far the actions of the gods spread, they have never fully declared war on Σ, the former kings of the world. Even if the scale of their actions has reached such a high level, the actions of the gods are still "ambiguous" ".

Unless it is absolutely irreversible, it is almost impossible for struggle and war to break out. Once a real "war" breaks out between top civilizations, the impact and disturbance caused by the war will never stop at each other - denial of the past, doubts about actions, etc., as countless causal interferences that are entangled with each other, Although they are not absolutely real information mappings, if they really undergo drastic changes, most of the real environment and order civilization will not be able to resist the sudden distortion of the background order - the areas that top civilizations can affect are too many. Huge, their breadth and depth extend almost to the limits of order.

Once they undergo major changes, the impact of the changes will be far greater than the impact of the complete destruction of the cosmological constant on the physical environment of the universe, which is equivalent to absolute destruction.

And in places where God's eyes cannot see directly, changes have never stopped - at the far end of the endless and vast territory of the huge and collapsed ubiquitous complex, there is an extremely rapid development that may even have distorted the truth of order. The emerging existences of the Great Law of the Void rose almost instantly. Taking this opportunity to complete the symbolic analysis of the source of endless leap information and the truth, the emerging super civilization began to evacuate most of the final remaining existences that had been completely corrupted by Σ. nature, and the process of annexation and annexation of Σ remnants. The remaining broken wills of the kings of the world have tried their best in the past 120,000 years, but these remaining tiny fragments are unable to resist the corrupted and extremely huge themselves, unable to stop the corruption of civilization - Struggle It has no meaning anymore.

The Devourer who rises at an unimaginable speed, the defense line of order that the God Clan coalition continues to advance, and the struggles of multiple alienated civilizations that have obtained some of the "weight creations" within the original territory... Each of these events is entangled. There are countless causes and effects, all affecting countless lines of probability development, all violently stimulating the remaining underlying nerves of the huge dead existence.
