Star Empire

"The Ship of Linyuan... I remember this is a type of ship with a profound meaning, and... isn't its role of transporting large quantities of emergency supplies or important supplies?"

"That's a bit one-sided. The Linyuan Ship can indeed be used to transport large quantities of emergency supplies or important supplies, but that is only part of its functions. As one of the highest-level transport ships in the empire, in theory, as long as it can hold It can transport anything—including any form of life."

"I remember that it was...well, maybe my reading and interpretation were a bit one-sided. So...why did it appear here? I don't remember that there has been any traffic or traffic in this area where we are in the past few days. Waterway Control Order.”

"The last time the Linyuan Ship appeared was to transport the results of the joint exploration operation of the Dead Tide - that operation can be said to be well known to the empire. It was an upright and open operation. But this operation is classified as confidential. , so the relevant management system will not directly issue public control orders. At the same time, you should have known for a long time that the space in the world is actually very wide and can be expanded to a considerable extent."

"Tens of millions of light years is indeed not a small amount of time, but it is not difficult to temporarily open a new "elevating platform" that does not disclose the navigation star map in the world."

"Um...wait a minute, teacher, did you say "one" before?"

"Yes... Including the Abyss Ship, all such ultra-large transport ships of the empire were born from the same series of accidents - if you have used your power to look at that ship, then you may have begun to Learned their stories.”

"The empire at that time was caught in a brutal tug-of-war with the Death Tide Fault Zone. The frontline troops suffered heavy losses, but it was extremely difficult for the rear to deliver the bulk of pure supplies needed to the frontline while complying with the requirements of war regulations."

"Under that special and huge pressure, the empire began to equip three types of special transport ships - the Abyss Boat to transport large quantities of entities and important entities, the Home Boat to maintain various types of ships withdrawn from the front line, and the Soul-Chasing Boat Ark heals the Imperial Wisdom who was seriously injured in the war. They exist side by side."

"The other two models...are they also so huge?"

"It's true - the teacher asked you a question, why do you think this is?"

"So huge... they can only perform basic linear operations and cannot perform regional synchronous changes, so they need such a huge volume to make up for the efficiency difference between the two action models?"

"..."

"Teacher...? What's my answer...?"

"Well, there's no problem..."

Under the sharp gazes of many pairs of senseless eyes, the invisible shuttle bypassed many bright spots and fibers on its path and headed towards the "most edge" of the world.

Although it seems close at hand, a lot of manipulation can always be done to the external representation. The time and space where the Linyuan Ship is located is a "new" place in this world, and it is a secret place that requires a series of coordinate conversions to enter.

During the intermittent conversations between teachers and students, the shuttle has silently crossed the sea of ​​​​stars. People wrapped in crystal energy materials cannot intuitively see the docking scene: when the shuttle is close enough to the Abyssal Ship, the reference system will change its center due to the influence of the giant entity.

The shuttle does not seem to be drilling into the hatch, but like it is drilling into the bottomless mouth of some giant beast.

Along the way, there were many giant hatches that were slightly opened and then closed immediately after this small bright spot flew by. Finally, the shuttle completed the "docking" with the transport ship itself at the micro-vehicle docking platform near the leading edge of the wing.

"...The meaning of [docking] here is that an entity accepts new parts and recognizes that the new parts are integrated with the entity itself. This is to prevent information deviation caused by ultra-long distance jumps in the void. A process set up to transfer damage from the ship body to the individual due to weak integrity. Generally speaking, ordinary void navigation does not need to specifically emphasize this point. However, if high-intensity void navigation is required or some intense operations are required during the navigation action, then this process is necessary..."

"Teacher, how long does it take to perform a void jump?"

"This is not certain. Because void jumping is affected by many factors - the density and arrangement of the world around the target, the strength of the target's own representation, whether it is within the empire's influence, whether it crosses quadrants, the stability of the target, and other factors need to be calculated. . But this time sailing in the void..."

Kriz felt as if his body had crossed something. After a slight tremor, he felt that he was sitting firmly in his seat again.

"It won't take long."

"??!"

I just read the instructions not long ago. Although I still don't know the specific nature of the "information offset difference" represented above, I can read some hidden stories from it - it is indeed a very huge gap. But the time it takes to cross such a huge gap... doesn't seem to be as long as the time it takes to take transportation to school by yourself? !

Before he could react, he was surrounded by heavily armed soldiers surrounding Kriz and began to check his various physical parameters. After breaking free from the overlapping circles of people and interactive screens, he and several surrounding teams seemed to be "thrown" directly out of the cabin.

In front of them, the Abyss Boat, which stood like a giant wall standing against the sky and the end of the world, disappeared.

"...It seems that comfort is not always the first consideration..." Kriz noticed the difference in the surrounding environment - this is an empty deep space. .

However, he quickly adapted to the surrounding environment. The gravity adaptation sense was temporarily turned off, and a micro-coordinate coordination system that could accurately control the body came into play. A reference system with Kryze itself as the origin was established. But before he could take a closer look at his surroundings after doing all this, a series of voices sounded directly from the depths of his mind:

"The target has arrived at the testing site, and all physical parameters have been tested. It is confirmed that the target is in good condition and can participate in the test."

"The environment around the test site has been cleared, and the implementation status of relevant levels of traffic control has been confirmed. The conditions are controllable and meet the test requirements."

"The void survey radar array is in good working condition..."

"The world shield has been activated. The intensity of external information radiation in this world has dropped to quasi-blackbody level. Narrative fluctuations in this world will not spread to other worlds..."

"The emergency rapid response force is ready and the emergency medical rescue equipment is ready..."

"The beacon of this world has been lit, and you can guide [——] to enter the site at any time..."

"...Guiding what? Hey, those teams...where are their people?!" Kriz listened to the broadcast coming from nowhere in a fog, and suddenly found himself in a daze. A lonely person in the space - the soldiers who surrounded him before disappeared without knowing when.

"Remind the subjects that the trial has begun and you can start taking action. Please be sure to follow the relevant regulations that have been notified."

"I heard this clearly...it's strange."

Kriz looked around. There should have been stars here, but then they all seemed to have been cleared away. Only in places that are so far away that it seems to have reached the end of the world, are some light spots that are not bright flashing feebly. He saw that there were some dark spots mixed in between these light spots - they were vast arcs with a grid structure.

"That is...the void survey radar."

When he thought that all traces of his derivation could be read by it, just like the scene he would show when he looked at the things around him, Kriz felt a little strange in his heart.

"Forget it...no matter so much, I want to see what I want to know..."

Kriz closed his eyes, relying on simple vision and basic perception to notice that the scenery he received was gradually separated and swallowed by the black mist. Other things began to emerge from the boundless darkness - they emerged not from Kriz looking at something, but from looking at the questions in his mind.

"Recorded traces of high-frequency narrative fluctuations... began to analyze the target story and began to synchronize the alarm system." At the edge of the world that was almost cleared, the vast arc of the void survey radar began to gather the captured information fragments into the focus of the story and began to analyze it. In the huge base "underneath" the radar, countless fluctuations intersect with each other, and the tremors they eventually form are materialized by brushstrokes, and a series of stories are recorded.

"...why are there so many primary education models throughout the empire, many of which are not suitable for students in intensity and mode?"

On the one hand, empires need to maintain some aspects of diversity. On the other hand, the Empire needs to obtain enough materials from anywhere at any time, which will be used for the next Emergence Ceremony...

"...Why are there so many differences in the sense of time?"

Time comes from change, and change comes in many forms. Some times are a single linear sequence of time, while other times are principal axis times containing comprehensive changes—the transition between them requires more steps.

"Lifestyle and behavior..."

This is currently the main fragmented part and the focus of many problems. Because too convenient and efficient life will excessively break down the original barriers between living things, causing the independent existence within the empire to produce interactions and even integration that are currently considered [excessive] , coupled with cultural reasons and historical inheritance reasons, some technologies are temporarily encapsulated, and some technologies are restricted and imprisoned in this way, while using them to prevent them from excessively destroying what the empire considers [civilization] itself...

This is currently difficult to coordinate directly. Due to the huge technological and conceptual fluctuations that have occurred in the past, there are still gaps in the current empire. The faults take time to heal. So it still takes more time to find the balance...

"Lots of little things..."

It may be a small thing, but many events are connected to each other like nodes in a grid. Many times, they themselves may be a key or even very important part, and they may lead to a chain reaction - a small thing may reflect some fundamental properties. Once these fundamental properties are broken, events will The impact itself may not be serious, but the fundamental rupture represents a breakdown of the bottom line, and the cracks opened from then on may become larger and larger until they are out of control.

There is another polar opposite - everyone's opinion.

How would you judge something?

In the eyes of different beings, the nature of a thing and the role it can play are different - naturally, the views of beings on it will also be different. One thing may be small, but if handled properly, it can have a huge positive impact. If a small thing is misunderstood, the disaster and impact caused by the misunderstanding will be huge. Reducing the information gap can effectively avoid all this, but... the information gap will always exist - misunderstandings will chill everyone.

For hundreds of millions of years, there have been countless such examples everywhere - if you do not follow the flow and direction of the times, then no matter what you do, you will not be able to deceive any existence, and time and order will ultimately prove everything.

…

"It's like...talking to myself."

Inside the bases of the void survey radars, those brushstrokes wrote like this.
