Star Empire

After the agreement was signed, the originally deserted area on the empire's border became active very quickly.

The distribution of the world here has changed, and large facilities such as the Void Celestial Tower and the Void Navigation Beacon have also begun to appear in this border area that was not originally prosperous. A large number of ships passed by here. Some ships carried materials that the empire paid to the λ civilization in accordance with the agreement. Some ships carried diplomats and exchange delegations to the λ civilization. Some ships quietly disappeared. In the endless void beyond the borders of the Void Empire. They lurk quietly, watching in the darkness the huge composite world where Lambda civilization is located.

The composite world empire where λ is located has never been seen before. Such a complex structure means that the possibility of rare situations gestating within it is much higher than that of a normal world. This is a situation where danger and opportunity go hand in hand. While the empire ambushed a large number of latent ships to deal with possible dangers, the imperial delegation stationed in it also visited part of the space-time structure of the world and λ with the permission of the λ civilization. creation.

In return, the empire also allowed a delegation from the Lambda Civilization to pass through the World Gate on a ship that could sail in the void, and initially came into contact with real extraordinary information.

While cultural exchanges began, out of a sense of caution, the two sides set strict boundaries for visits and strictly implemented the agreement not to cross the boundaries. Within the limited visiting space, both sides more or less visited each other's large war weapons - as one of the best ways to demonstrate force, both sides also acquiesced to such behavior, because both sides have determined that the war will be The cost is far greater than the negotiation is one of the effective ways to fix both parties to the negotiation table.

As the exchanges between the empire and lambda civilization gradually expanded and deepened, the civilizations that were not destroyed in the "fifth disaster" and gradually recovered noticed the "abnormal" activities of the empire.

However, the Empire had suffered enough from previous protocols during the massive military expansion it had to undertake to deal with giant malicious metamemes, and all those working in it had learned the necessity of finding loopholes and pushing and shoving. Therefore, when the empire signed treaties and various agreements with Lambda Civilization, the empire's diplomats added a lot of confidentiality clauses to the agreement.

These confidentiality clauses do not have a very obvious binding effect on both the empire and Lambda, but once other civilizations ask about these matters, the empire only needs to reply with a no comment.

As for you saying that the internal conditions of the agreement signed by the empire and you are not good? Do you want to change the agreement? Yes, yes, but we need to ask first, where did you get this information? How did you preserve it?

Generally speaking, after asking these two questions, the empire is left with only two options that will result in a very comfortable outcome - either clearing the other party's memory and pretending that nothing happened, or going to investigate the issue. The "source" of. Accountability often requires wielding a stick, and the Empire is quite good at wielding a stick.

During the implementation of the agreement by both parties, some unexpected "interludes" also occurred - according to the agreement, the empire needed to formally admit the war crimes it committed two trillion years ago and make a sincere and profound apology, and it needed to transfer these Part of it was officially written into the history of the empire. There is nothing wrong with any of this, but in the fine print, Lambda requires the Empire to engrave this incident in an eternal monument, and such a monument.

There is only one sufficient and sufficient condition for an empire. And this monument is a monument, a monument specially modified from the World Branch Zenith Seat - it is on the Void Blazing Sun.

Facing this sun that is enough to illuminate the void, Lambda seems to have picked up all the doctrines spread by the giants at once and that they are disgusted with.

There is no doubt that this led to a series of wars of words. But this time, λ finally gave in more parts

The empire "inadvertently" revealed some historical data. In those historical materials, the empire revealed that the Void Fierce Sun has a super asymptotic giant explosion every hundred billion years. The disturbance caused by such a big explosion is quite huge. Even for worlds far away from the Empire, as long as they have experienced such things, the Empire's World Barrier Drilling Team will be able to find obvious traces from the World Barrier of those worlds.

I don’t know if the Lambda civilization gave in because they discovered that the super asymptotic giant activity of Lieyang has a clear periodicity, and the activity cycle of Lieyang is consistent with the cycle of certain large-scale changes that occur regularly in the world where they are located. .Relatively consistent?

However, as the negotiations progressed, these issues were eventually resolved to a solution that was relatively acceptable to both parties after going through countless thrilling twists and turns.

"Recently, the Empire and Lambda Civilization have begun to have some relatively in-depth discussions. Wood, have you paid attention to these contents?" The "Imperial Palace" on the Void Sun is not spacious and may occupy an area of ​​no more than 300 square meters. Here, Vesrifan crossed the piles of reports stacked in front of his case and asked Vidoville who was resting.

"Well, I don't care too much. The Black Gate Order Field is still not very stable during this period. I'm mainly dealing with things there. I don't pay too much attention to things like talks that are usually the responsibility of functional areas." Vidoville sat up straight, "Why, have we encountered any new problems in this regard?"

"That's not true. I want to say that in my opinion, the communication between the Empire and Lambda Civilization is deepening quite quickly. In just a few years, the two sides have already dared to carry out ideological and cultural exchanges. ." With that said, Weisrifan sent several files to Vidoville: "These are the ones I selected. You can also take a look at the ones I think are more meaningful."

"Let me take a look." Vidoville picked one of them. "Discussions on the stages of civilization development have already talked about this aspect? So soon?" Vidoville stared, "This is not simple. ah."

"Otherwise, why would I mention this specifically?" Weisruifan said, spreading his hands.

".λ Civilization scholars agree with the view put forward by the imperial delegation that the stage of co-existence of Kang and Mi and the stage of gradual development alternate. At this point, the two sides reached a consensus that the stage of co-existence of Kang and Mi and the stage of gradual development will occur in the development of civilization. A healthy and relatively ideal stage appears alternately. Among them, the Kangmei co-existence stage mainly appears in the peaceful period of civilization, and such a period can also be regarded as a period of accumulation of civilization's heritage."

“During this period, the main characteristic of civilization is that the whole has a very strong production capacity. Resources and wealth can be continuously produced and are extremely abundant for the entire civilized society. During this stage, the country and class will be completely In the end, all individuals of the civilization have all the development information of the entire civilization, and everyone can obtain the corresponding resources according to their own needs."

At the same time, during this stage, the number of individuals in the civilization will remain around a relatively fixed value for a long time. All individuals will be able to develop their bodies and intelligence freely and comprehensively, and all individuals will have comprehensive high qualities. , the development and progress of individuals will be organically unified with the development and progress of society. In this case, the departments responsible for handling daily public affairs still exist, but their nature has changed."

"The gradual development stage is different. It will appear when the civilization has accumulated enough foundation and has the ability to start moving to a higher level of resource utilization. It looks like it will go back for a while - In this stage, countries and classes will reappear, but their nature will be different from the entities of the same name before the stage of communism, and the contradictions that will arise at the same time will not be as sharp as before."

"With the re-emergence of states and classes, they will serve as "sources of traction." These entities will be able to mobilize most of the resources of the entire civilization to break through one or more key goals. This stage also includes Some other characteristics, such as the number of individuals within civilization will begin to rise again, the daily living standards of individuals will generally decline, and some social contradictions need to be paid attention to. If the breakthrough can be completed relatively smoothly, then civilization will rise in this period. After the end of this stage, we will once again enter the stage of mutual prosperity.”

".If the unexpected situation is so serious that the civilization can no longer rely on its own strength to reverse the situation, then the civilization will fragment and fall from the stage of gradual development, and the consequences cannot be accurately predicted."

"Both parties believe that when entering the void and facing various phenomena that may appear in the void, civilization needs to have stronger leadership and be prepared to make sacrifices. This means that the civilization in the void will be in a stage of gradual development for a long time. And since resources are no longer limited, the gradual development stage of civilization developing in the void will have more characteristics of the stage of mutual prosperity. Okay, now that we have talked about this, the progress must be said to be Really quick.”

"Well, there is this." Vidoville opened the second report: "λ civilization believes that intelligent life needs to ensure that it has sufficient desires and perceptual content. In this regard, λ is even more serious than the empire. They believe that intelligent life must have enough desire and emotional content. Life should contain much more sensibility and desire than the Empire thinks?"

"This is not too difficult to understand. Desire is a specific manifestation of intelligent life's pursuit of a certain aspect, and sensibility is the most direct response that intelligent life will make when facing external stimuli. They are moderate Existence will promote and accelerate the development of civilization where intelligent life exists.”

Vidoville pinched his chin, "But the λ civilization has put so much emphasis on these contents. I don't know if it is because of the highest memetic life of the λ civilization. The memetic life is directly in the form of information state. Existing and active, they jumped directly into the origin level of all things. Perhaps it is because the gap between this kind of life and ordinary life is too large. In the process of building λ civilization, these gaps have led to many disastrous consequences. , that’s why they emphasize these so much.”

After flipping through the second report, he casually opened the third report. Different from the first two reports, the "dialogue" recorded in this report focused more on technical aspects.

"λ Civilization is not surprised by our unlimited production capacity. Among the entire set of information-entity shaping technology, the part they are most interested in is the empire's ability to obtain extraordinary information from the void, as well as the various characteristics of extraordinary information. This is true. It’s not surprising, if Lambda didn’t have a fairly high level of unlimited production capacity, then it would be impossible for them to still be able to negotiate and engage in diplomacy with the Empire in a straight-line manner.”

"λ Civilization has also made considerable achievements in the field of information manipulation. However, unlike the empire, the source of their resource acquisition is the world barrier of the entire composite world, and they use it by regularly extracting information from the world barrier. The extraction method is very similar to the reverse process in which the empire uses infinite calculations to control crystal energy to generate special effects. Oh, I see, no wonder the properties of Lambda’s battleship are like that.”

"Huh? What kind?" Weisrifan raised his head and asked, "The Empire and Lambda haven't disclosed the details of each other's equipment, right?"

"It has not been made public, but I have seen the appearance of the λ battleship before and mentioned it to the empire's technical staff - the λ battleship has an information response similar to the Σ self-consistent law armor. As far as we know, the highest level of consistent armor The law armor is synthesized with a huge amount of world heart. The self-consistent law armor looks like a large group of completely opaque shadows. Lambda's "battleship" is somewhat transparent, but equally thick."

"What's the conclusion?" Weisrifan asked.

"λ is using a large number of universes to build a battleship. It is similar to compressing the universe to the limit, making it into singular points or odd rings, combining these singular points and odd rings into the universe, and then compressing it into singular points or odd rings. The cycle continues. , and then finally use the metamaterials obtained in this way to build their warships, and their processing process is our reverse application of computing infinity.”

Vidoville explained, "That's basically it, so for extraordinary information, they are transparent because their level is not extraordinary and cannot form resistance to extraordinary information, but they have a large enough amount of information, so they can see It looks unusually thick. At the same time, during this iterative process, the internal structure of the metamaterials created using this method will be very complex. Therefore, although they do not have extraordinary resistance that can reduce the effect of extraordinary information, they are still resistant to extraordinary information. Good resistance to artillery fire.”

"This is really interesting." Wei Ruifan smoothed a bunch of hair in front of his eyes, "So..."

"Your Majesty Vesrifan, Your Majesty Vidoville, something unexpected happened, and Yorumu Leshang's condition began to deteriorate at an accelerated pace."

"what happened?"
