Star Empire

The huge starship is wrapped in a closed warped space bubble, sailing in the parallel lines of the world in an independent attitude. It seems that nothing can stop the pace of this interstellar behemoth.

Near the only exit of the isolation zone, a temporary space vibration generator has been activated as a beacon for communication between the isolation zone and the outside world. This device is anchored in the middle of the gap in the warped space layer and can be sensed by both sides at the same time. After a period of time, the frontline base also adds such a real temporary hub, and the dedicated encrypted communication channel between the base and the outside world can be reopened. At least there will be no need to use less efficient high-dimensional communication channels like the last time Cavernrel left. The nature jump went to crawl slowly.

And in the prosperous area of ​​the distant universe, in the DH-33 Triangular Constellation, the federal operations and management center, Weisruifan and the others were not idle either.

“How much will the new knowledge system change compared to the old one?”

"It's almost...shuffling the cards, Your Excellency Archon, or...in addition to the existing set of cognitive systems, directly superimpose a layer of cognition that is compatible with everything - such as the existing grand unified theory. In , we believed that waves were the ultimate essence of any kind of existence, but now, the materialized wave will transform into a kind of information wave that we have always been inclined to think is based on subjective existence."

After a pause, Eisendel roughly sorted out his thoughts and emotions before continuing:

"First of all, we need a new definition of everything in the entire universe... I can't remember the history because it's so long ago, but if we can understand it directly in a simple way..."

"Just like in the most ancient planetary age, our ancestors even thought that water was an element, corresponding to fire and air. At that time, the definition of an element was a group or type of macroscopic substance."

"In the later era of planetary development, our ancestors began to explore the microstructure of matter and discovered that macroscopic matter was not actually composed of single elements. They were composed of tiny structures called molecules or atoms. Atoms Once thought to be the smallest structure of matter.”

"But subsequent experiments have shown that atoms are composed of smaller electrons, protons, neutrons and other leptons or hadrons, and these more microscopic particles are composed of even smaller structures, etc..."

During the lengthy exchange of consciousness, they seemed to be completing a historical retrospective.

"Super accelerators of the old era can determine whether a certain type of speculation is true through some inherent phenomena produced by bombarding target particles. This is indeed of great help, but there is a problem. Even if they can reveal the composition of basic particles, They can't do much control over the real phenomena. The most they can do is accelerate those particles in the electromagnetic field."

"In the era of great interstellar exploration, we have not made much progress in exploring the background of the microscopic world. The particles we have discovered are basically the same categories we have discovered before. What we have made progress is to understand these particles at the microscopic level. Control and utilization. In the microscopic state, microscopic particles no longer follow a model similar to that of a planetary system in the macroscopic sense."

"Current physics defines the situation of microscopic particles from three perspectives, but what is consistent with observations is the wave model. In the scanning of the time field photon projection microscopy equipment, those hadrons are subject to strong uncertainties. The structure is indeed similar to the high-frequency fluctuations of the string structure, the string vibrating at high speed..."

"However, they can build geometric models that can be confirmed by macroscopic observations, such as neutrons. They can build celestial bodies such as neutron stars in a macroscopic state. However, the dismantling of neutron stars has always shown strange results. Over the past decade, After a certain measurement, they seem to directly change their expression mode, and their state of existence and observation will become stable...The same is true for other microscopic particles."

Weisrifan sighed, "It can be said... every time the basic structure that composes us is extended to the foundation, it looks more and more magical... and the various derivative effects it produces can affect almost any discipline. Come in, no reservations.”

"... In the past, all disciplines were tools for us to try to understand the objective world... Well, there is also a very important methodology - methodology directly guides our ideas and directions in making tools... So our routine Material technology is limited to the quark level at best." Eisendel nodded.

"Looking deeper, apart from unstable information interference, we no longer have the ability to accurately operate smaller structures on a large scale. Except for large-scale quantum entanglement, which can be regarded as a loophole technology, we cannot even control microscopic particles. By simulating or defining, or searching further, at most you can get more phenomena and physical quantities.”

"But if we use the unified theory of information, we may be able to break through the microscopic confinement and continue to develop..."

"To give an inappropriate example, if we assume that we can "extract" a picture directly from the network, so that the picture can maintain the details of the network state in the real world, and our current microscopic means are like We are looking at this picture with a magnifying glass with higher and higher magnifications. But we know that the actual components of this picture are a string of data, which are then encoded and translated into pixels..."

"It can be understood that... data is not something that can be directly observed, so after we adjust the magnifying glass to a certain level, we will see "garbled codes" - and the more the garbled codes themselves are split into finer pieces... Originally, its information content is extremely small... and then it is observed... According to the observer theory, our observation itself has energy - when we try to observe the existence in some extremely low energy range, the existence itself The result of a mathematical model that collides with the will of what we observe and produces distortions…the manifestation of uncertainty.”

"In this range, the separated pixel segments are not enough to maintain the properties of expressing that part of the picture, but its inherent existence can still be observed, but it is difficult to understand - I think the bottleneck we are encountering now Our current direction is to constantly try to enlarge the picture on the screen, but between the performance and the actual span, our eyes are blocked by this layer of "screen"."

"So if we look at it from the perspective of the unified theory of information, then our world is actually no different from the files in the computer?" Weisruifan's body leaned forward slightly, and his eyes were a little more surprised.

"It's similar to a certain extent, but you don't have to worry about it... Now, the gaps between all "states" no longer exist - the composition of our world is very complex. It’s complicated, but it’s okay to put it simply. You can compare the information element unit to the original atom or something. Although the structure is different, the properties are actually the same.”

"And...actually, rather than using atomic quarks and so on, it is difficult for us to capture single entities and to clarify the existence of single entities...I personally think...is it better to use mathematical means to completely generalize and accommodate them... "

"But no matter what... I have to consider... the possible reaction of the whole people, as I said before. You should also know, which is why I want you to delay the announcement of the news and wait as long as possible to wait for more from Cavinriel. As a result, we will consider the gradual promotion of information unification. Even with my level of transformation, accepting this model will cause psychological fluctuations. The perceptual-rational thinking threshold of ordinary people will only be lower, and rash promotion will only cause resistance among the people. To be honest, in the previous meeting, Cavinriel was still a little too idealistic."

"..."

"Although there is a lack of premonition... I am afraid that this is the inevitable pain that innovation will face. We can only try our best to guide the people to adapt. If we force the promotion, the effect may not be as good as not promoting it at all." Wei Ruifan patted Eisen. Del's shoulders. "But don't worry, I will try my best to support you in this area of ​​work... However, considering that the people at this level of the Federation are relatively independent of each other, and the degree of black box they have to face when doing things is very high... Therefore, You need to put more effort into it.”

"By the way, Eisendel, the next part of the content may not be what I should pay attention to, but I still want to ask, what is the principle of the weaponization of laws mentioned in the meeting before? If I didn't If I remember correctly, with our current abilities, there is no way to change the cosmological constant."

"From the perspective of information unification, our entire universe is a self-consistent and closed data collection. In this huge collection, some key commands and parameters guide the entire collection to operate stably. The former is the law of physics, and the latter is the cosmological constant." Eisendel activated a holographic projection, which showed a simplified universe model. In the transparent celestial sphere, the huge galaxies turned into small points of light. , countless light points are connected together to form a broad river, and countless rivers are intertwined into a network, shining brightly in the universe.

"This is our current universe. In the history of tens of billions of years, we have expanded outwards and experienced countless wars, ranging from planets being annihilated and stars being shattered to being as large as entire river systems being roasted by vacuum zero-point energy storms. Being completely reduced to microscopic particles, the number of ultra-high-energy reactions we created during the war may be more than the number of supernovae that have exploded in the entire universe. However, no matter how fierce the war is, the universe can always use time to recover everything, and the universe retains this The fundamental reason for this resilience is that we have not destroyed its underlying laws."

"For a long time, we have had many weapons and tactics, such as slow-light traps, etc. This can only be called "pseudo-law utilization." The reason why we change the speed of light is because gravitational lenses or some other force fields will drag the speed of light under certain conditions. Slowing the speed of light in vacuum is actually a method of borrowing force, and the force we borrow must always be returned to the universe. This is also reflected in reality-the existence of gravity can be achieved to a certain extent and to a certain extent. Natural anti-entropy within the scope... I have to say that the results of the world itself are really amazing, otherwise, we might have dismantled ourselves into sub-atoms long ago..."

"Yes, even if there are errors allowed to occur in the system, if too many are accumulated, problems will eventually accumulate. But the universe is too huge, and its huge size also means that it has enough margin to smooth out the internal problems. A small aftermath. Even our most powerful attack may not have the same effect on the entire universe as a rock avalanche on a rocky planet. Even if we continue to increase the intensity, all we will do is cause a larger scale. Larger landslides, and landslides themselves are also limited by physical laws and scale."

"On an ordinary rocky planet, the largest landslide is the collapse of the largest mountain system on the entire planet, and the effect is nothing more than a pile of falling rocks and a big crater on the ground. Just like our vacuum annihilation bomb, we don't It cannot be made unlimitedly large, and its power is limited to the ten-dimensional imaginary number area. Although the energy levels of the two differ by many orders of magnitude, from an analogy point of view, the difference is not big."

During the process of Isendel's explanation, Weisrifan was accepting these concepts while slowly flipping the universe model in the holographic projection and asking corresponding questions - this part of the information can be found in any database. Less than.

Inside the model of the holographic universe, amid the wanton spread of countless ribbon-like streams of bright light, some looming dark faults float under the cover of these colorful ribbons - some unique annotations began to appear in batches , that is the wound of the universe, the witness of history, and the truth behind the glorious and prosperous reality.

The light point clusters revealed by the marks that seemed to be coating the entire three-dimensional model were the former dense areas of gravitational lenses or the remains of very large-scale battlefields. To a considerable extent, it is fortunate that...except for the area where the Modori Zerg made all-out efforts to carry out vacuum zero-point energy explosions, the space index in other places is constantly tending to be stable from a trend perspective.

There seems to be plenty of time.

"And if we can use the grand unified theory of information to understand the universe, it will be possible to control the basic rules of the universe. Just like we have obtained all the source codes and data for programs and files, as long as we have the right tools, we can We can add to and delete from them as much as we can think of, and the same goes for laws and constants."

"But one thing is that the laws we modified were created, not the original composition of the universe. Therefore, these "external" laws are much more harmful to the self-consistency of the universe, just like we put a If a large antimatter bomb is dropped on a planet, the natural laws of the planet cannot form antimatter, so its self-consistent laws do not include the ability to resist antimatter, and the "smoothing" effect that nature can achieve will be much worse. …Moreover, the more sophisticated many current mathematical models are, the more likely it is that a weak change in one parameter will cause the entire model to collapse…”

"If this is really the case, then to what extent can the weapons that use the unified information reach?"

"Let's not talk about weapons for now, Your Majesty the Archon." Isendel waved his hand and said, "Weapons are only one aspect. If we can use the unity of information to manipulate the basic laws of the universe, then first of all we will be able to define anything according to our own needs. Constant, we can formulate materials with different properties at will and carry out stable mass production. We can completely use information means to achieve true super-light speed, instead of relying on the distortion of deep laws or taking advantage of loopholes in the laws. Achievable way to "pseudo-superluminal speed"."

"As for weapons, any approach that exceeds the bottom line of adaptability has the potential to be used as a weapon, such as the mapping laws in the background of the universe. From a macro perspective, all laws in our universe can basically explain each other, and there is basically no contradiction. Using these rules, by inputting an independent variable, we can derive the dependent variable according to the mapping. If we can directly cut off this mapping, or change this mapping to a state that extremely does not meet certain conditions, then the opponent only needs to If these mapping laws are even the slightest bit dependent, they will perish instantly due to sudden changes."

"In addition, there is a more powerful, even arrogant idea." Mentioning this, Eisendel paused, "...we may be able to materialize the mathematical model."

"Solid mathematical model? What kind of operation is this?" Wei Ruifan frowned her beautiful eyebrows and looked at the scientific consultant who was almost a head taller than her with a puzzled expression.

"Your Excellency Archon, you know that mathematics is a tool we create to understand the world. Mathematics itself is used to cooperate with physics to facilitate our understanding of the world. But at the same time, it can also describe almost everything. Mathematical models It cannot exist in reality, but it can be stored in the form of data. If a mathematical model like this that only exists in the virtual space and depicts some non-existent phenomena, laws, etc. is piled up with information in a pure information environment, there will be It is possible to convert these virtual existences into some kind of entity that can exist stably in the real world, and the properties that mathematics can describe...are almost infinite."

"..." The running consul opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't say anything. She turned her back and her voice gradually lowered. "what else?"

"...I know this may be difficult to accept, Your Majesty the Archon." Isendel was silent for a long time this time, as if to give Vesrifan a buffer.

"...If we can materialize the mathematical model, then on a macro scale, we may use it as a springboard to control the entire world or a part of the world, or simulate the layer of the world that isolates the internal order from the endless sea outside. The barrier entity comes out and uses it as a springboard to go to... other universes. After technology develops to new extremes, we may be able to simulate the formation process of singularities in this endless ocean, unlimited production universes or other first stable The state of information fluctuates..."

"That's enough, that's it." Weisrifan suddenly said in a low voice, then turned around suddenly and gently pressed his right hand on Isendel's chest.

"Your Majesty the Consul, what are you..." Before the chief scientist could finish speaking, several circles of golden light suddenly jumped around him, and finally condensed into the shape of a chain. In front of him, a huge square entity appeared. The screen was suspended in front of him. It was marked with a simple but red "lock" word that symbolized the initiative of the highest authority. In the background, the golden emblem corresponding to the DH-33 Triangular Constellation exuded a frightening light. The emblem seemed to It was not the light and shadow that existed on the monitor, but a weapon that existed in front of him, a weapon forged from cold metal that had drunk countless blood.

"...Permission lock." Weisrifan stared at Cavinriel, "Before the news is completely announced, you are only allowed to work in a few fixed cabins in the Federal Operations Management Center, where all networks are blocked. It is a closed internal system. After you start working, you cannot leave, nor can you have any contact with anyone except me, Vidoville, Zhai Cahill, and Cavinriel, and except for Vidoville, If you want to communicate with the remaining two people, you must do so under my supervision."

"This...is." Essendel slowly raised his right hand and made a fist in front of his chest, his voice was slow but full of determination.

For the first time, Weisrifan saw that his hands were so white.

However, after Isendel bowed and left, the content of Weisrifan's struggle began to gradually emerge: "The six-year rule... the preservation of knowledge... are these requirements really normal... keeping it secret... to whom?"

Weisruifan tried hard to gather the questions in his heart, but soon, these question marks and all the problems involved disappeared again. Weisruifan looked at the surrounding environment with some doubts.

Under the crust of the planet fortress in the center of the Grand Triangulum Federation, everything in the brightly lit hall remained as before.

There is nothing wrong with all the arrangements.
