Star Empire

Chapter 420: Read Thousands of Books and Travel Thousands of Miles... Is This How It Should Be? (Two)

The world is lit up.

Sparkling waves of light are sprinkled in every corner of the world. They obscure the original starlight and the original pure and vast background of space.

Faced with the sudden change, Kriz subconsciously tightened his body. However, the violent vibrations and impacts he expected did not appear. The spacecraft remained stable. It remained relatively stationary with its previous coordinate position and did not produce any displacement or vibration. Although these lights illuminated the entire world, they seemed extremely fast. But they didn't seem to have much impact, just like phantoms.

"No, that's not right!" Just when Kriz thought everything outside the window was just a chaotic phantom, he suddenly discovered that there were circles of ring-shaped light flashing on the surface of the shield that popped up from the seat to protect him!

"Why is this shield like all shields?!" Kriz continued to look out the window, his eyes trying to pass through the dense and chaotic crazy light and shadow outside, and through the overlapping protective layers. He was surprised to find that there was such light and shadow flowing on the outer layer of each shield. They were constantly changing and spreading. Those light and shadows are very similar to the irregular light and shadows produced when the crystal screen is under heavy pressure. Does this mean that those shield layers are under great pressure at this moment?

"lhjl1864343, can you see the changes in the shields outside——"

"See the outside? You can't see the outside if there is a shield blocking it? Are you talking about the outside of the shield on the seat, or the outside of the ship?"

"Outside the ship...can't you see it?"

"Is that so..."

"It's normal. If you want to have a protective effect, you must be able to block the transmission of information. We "see" things because we receive their information. If the information transmission is blocked, then we must not be able to see it. Theirs, Kriz, can you see them?”

"Oh, ah, well, I'm just asking." Since his whole body was firmly fixed on the seat, Kriz couldn't make any more body movements. He could only frown and stare blankly in silence. Stare at the endless chaos outside the window until the chaos completely dissipates.

"The earthquake is over, and the world stability situation is analyzed. The world coordinate drift meets the requirements of the empire's specifications. The integrity of the world barrier and the stability of the space-time structure have not undergone any detectable changes. No casualty reports have been received yet, and the surrounding void environment has been determined It has returned to normal and the alert has been lifted."

"This earthquake affected a total of 76 worlds. This earthquake event will be affected by the world circuit base of each world, the world line overview base No. 3523-86-16, and the world branch sky No. 25-16-245517. The top seat is recorded in the log.”

"The alarm has been lifted, the temporary safety protection has been lifted, and the internal shields and binding measures have been withdrawn. From now on, all crew members can move freely within the scope of permissions, and the hull activation function has been reactivated."

“I’m so nervous, but I feel so excited after it’s over!”

"What is a earthquake? I have never seen such a massive scene before. I didn't expect shields to pop up on these seats. In that case, can shields pop up on the desks in the classrooms too?"

“I think it’s definitely possible”

"It must be possible. Haven't you tried it?! You haven't seen it either?!"

"I checked and found out. This is Tianquake's information. There are detailed records and explanations in the empire network. Come, take a look at the contents of these entries."

"let us see"

The accident just now obviously had a significant impact on the students. At this moment, they were excited to discuss what they had just seen and heard. Although they could all browse the empire network and start the interactive interface, they couldn't care less now and were squeezing around the classmates who had dropped out the information. They were discussing loudly. , the excitement was palpable, but soon, Kriz, who was leaning by the window, noticed that the atmosphere of the crowd of onlookers around him had changed - the atmosphere seemed to become a little solemn.

"Skyquakes are events that occur when incompletely condensed and materialized virtual information in the void begins to fall downward and solidify. If it "overlaps" with the existing world on the void coordinates, it is a dangerous natural disaster. A disaster?"

"Are natural disasters the same thing as the death tide?"

"By nature, they are both disasters for the empire, but they are still different. The Death Tide is still filled with a lot of unsolved mysteries, and it is not even sure what kind of empire the Death Tide itself is. But according to these data , The empire knows the causes, effects and prevention methods of earthquakes, but if we want such protection to cover the entire empire, the amount of work is also very huge."

"The data says... when such virtual information begins to fall and condense into the physical structure and interacts with the world barrier, due to the particularity of the virtual information structure, the world barrier and most conventional protective measures cannot completely resist them. Thus they seep into the interior of the world, where they further fall and materialize.”

"In this process, the impact of the materialization of false information is diverse and difficult to accurately estimate. And the most important factor that caused it to become a disaster is here - this decline occurred simultaneously in the entire world. When this When the phenomenon occurs, every corner of the entire world will be affected. And in the process, the original information structure of the world will be crowded or distorted by foreign objects, causing mutation."

“In order to reduce the impact of earthquakes as much as possible, it is necessary to set up multi-layer protection facilities. It is advisable to bind independent information bodies with weak existence and relatively small amount of information to large entities, so as to avoid earthquakes to the greatest extent. When an earthquake occurs, the virtual information that seeps into the world disturbs, crowds out or pollutes the original structure of the information bodies themselves.”

"Since the occurrence mechanism of skyquakes is similar to the birth of the world and directly related to the void environment, it is almost impossible to use technical means to avoid or suppress skyquakes. The occurrence of skyquakes is highly uncertain. Since virtual information is in effect It is outside the observation range, so even the most powerful void survey radar observation array is difficult to give accurate predictions of skyquakes."

"The gap between the upper and lower limits of the impact range of skyquakes is very huge. At present, the impact range of the largest skyquake that has been observed has reached the world's vein level. It cannot be ruled out that the empire will discover and encounter in the future the impact range will reach or even exceed the world's branch level. The possibility of earthquakes."

"The phenomenon of skyquakes was first clarified by the empire in the year 831 465 876 ​​915 of the Star Ming Empire's Expedition. After that, the phenomenon of sky earthquakes was officially clarified. The technology gradually started in the year 831 465 875 411 of the Star Ming Empire's Expedition. Innovations and equipment upgrades allowed the phenomenon of earthquakes and their effects to be clarified and finally established as an independent research subject."

"Before this point in time, earthquakes did not exist, but were confused with other phenomena. After this phenomenon was spun off into an independent discipline, a large number of additional protection requirements that needed to serve other directions also became independent. .With a clearer goal, subsequent defense measures and research methods will also be clearer..."

"Observation data over the years show that the frequency of earthquakes is gradually increasing."

"It's a disaster. We should be prepared for this kind of thing."

"It's strange, there are still some contents that don't seem to be displayed. It's because of the permission level, so there's nothing we can do about it."

"Forget it, let's finish the task first and keep the information on the base of the observation world loop. We will write a report when we get back."

"Yes, everyone should disperse and do what they should do."

"Um"

Everyone nodded and dispersed, and the unexpected incident encountered during the viewing ended. Everyone turned their attention back to the observation of the World Loop Base. However, although everyone knew that encountering a earthquake was not an exciting thing, such actual external stimulation still made everyone feel uncomfortable in front of them. He has become somewhat absent-minded about his tasks.

"By the way, why don't I know about the phenomenon of "skyquakes" after taking the movie viewing class?"

"Hey, what's so strange about this? I dare say there must be a lot of things you haven't seen before - the movie viewing class is just a short time ago, and the history of the entire empire is how long. No matter what, the things in the movie viewing class are similar. It has also been cut out a lot compared to reality. It is impossible to say that after a movie-watching class, you will know everything about the empire. And have you noticed this - the earthquake was first recorded very close to now , and the closer the films used in the movie-watching class are to the present time, the more general the content is.”

".It seems that is indeed the case."

"Everyone, hurry up and take notes. We have a lot to see. The observation fleet will not stop at one site for too long."

"Okay, got it."

Silence fell again. The world circuit always bursts out brightly but silently, and countless silk threads gently brush over the little guests who come to visit, just like in the past hundreds of billions of years.

".The viewing process of this site has ended, and the fleet will go to the next site. Please all crew members return to their seats and sit tight. Next, it will involve sailing in the void."

"Void Voyage. Are you going to go outside the world?"

"Come back and sit down quickly. I heard that if you don't sit down properly, you will be gradually thrown into the void!"

"When did you make that old statement? How can it still be like that now? Consider the timeliness of the information."

"Void sailing?" This word attracted Kriz's interest - he didn't know the freshmen around him yet. If there was a task that required him to remember them, then there would definitely be comprehensive reminders. Remembering them without authorization can be itchy, painful and troublesome. Rather than remembering them, words that can be heard and remembered comfortably and the events behind them are more interesting.

He is not unfamiliar with void navigation, but his previous experience of void navigation has become somewhat less valuable because of its particularity - he knows what level of creation the "Abyss Boat" is, and in such a situation Under the protection of a powerful creation, although I have experienced void voyages, from a feeling point of view, riding in a void spaceship is no different from riding a high-speed train. The former may even be smoother than the latter.

This time, it should be different.

"All crew members please be aware that the fleet is about to enter the void sailing stage. Please pay attention to safety."

"Huh?" The moment Kriz raised his eyes unconsciously, he found that everything outside the window began to change dramatically. All the celestial bodies seemed to be stretched, and they formed long lines running through space, starting from the most distant The future reaches into the oldest past.

"There seems to be something different." Kriz whispered to himself. He found that the way the fleet sailed now was a little different from before - at this moment, the fleet seemed to be crossing not a simple "space-time structure", but a structure that was more complex in content but simpler to use.

"What did you just cross? Well, I am indeed too tired, but inadvertently I start to look and think more and I can't help it."

Thoughts flowed by, and the surrounding scenes also flowed by. Soon, the stars shining in space disappeared. An invisible giant wall stretching from heaven to earth stands at the end of the world. The fleet hit the wall and merged into it like a vesicle.

"Remind all members that the fleet is ascending from the world barrier. When the ascending process is completed, we will be in the void."

"What is that?" Kriz suddenly asked. He discovered that there seemed to be some buried facilities in the magnificent wall. And around those facilities, the world barrier seemed to have been dug into many long and thin "deep wells". These deep wells emit very dazzling light, and it seems that they require very strong maintenance from the outside world to ensure stability?

"That is. Oh no, no one is standing next to me to explain it directly to me now. That is a deep detection well drilled to analyze the information deposition on the outer layer of the world barrier, and those facilities are corresponding observation stations. Their Its function is to record the impact of information disturbances from the void and other worlds on the world barrier of this world."

"By analyzing the core samples extracted from the deep wells, we can know when and how the world was disturbed. Since the world barrier can directly interact with the void environment and directly relieve the void, the world barrier has the ability to intercept and preserve virtual information disturbances. Stronger than most conventional observation methods. It is precisely for this reason that this seemingly primitive observation method has always been very effective and is still used today."

"There is knowledge everywhere." After the words fell, the "background environment" outside the window faded away in an instant, and endless darkness enveloped the end as far as the eye could see. Under this dark sky, the synchronized stars, which are essentially garrison warships, look particularly eye-catching at this moment.

"Speaking of which, when entering the void, do you use the void engine to sail to your destination? Don't we go through the gate of the world?"

"Didn't you ask the seniors about these things before enrolling? The practice of new students taking the Void Channel instead of the World Gate has been going on for a long time. It is said that it is to allow us to more intuitively see the grandeur and order of the world. The endless void does this.”

"I came here without taking a break. I didn't have time to ask. And where can I find the old senior?"

"Everyone in the Q&A section of the freshmen forum is full of cheers. I'm anxious too. I hope you don't mind. At this point, we no longer have anyone to guide and educate us. We need to take the initiative to do something on our own."

"But I asked a lot of questions before I came here. No one knows or cares? Wait, why do you know so clearly 16-3-2-uqhc9841321?! You hold level 3-2 authority ah?!"

"Ah, yes, I've gone through this process three times."

"Three times? Like? What does that mean?"

"The empire trains students in various ways - there are dozens of widely different training programs for higher education. If an individual continues to use different training programs to complete the advanced education stage, he will hold higher authority level. However, we have no difference. When the permission level is no higher than 3-15 or 3-17, the difference brought by the permission level is not very big, that is, individuals with high permissions have the right to access larger databases. And individuals with high authority assume obligations and exercise rights before individuals with low authority. As I said, the latter one has almost no impact until that dividing line is reached."

"Is it so magical?"

"In that case, how about I act as a guide? I don't have the right to explain the advanced content, but I still know more or less what you need to see in each next step and the purpose of doing so."

"Great!"

"Senior, what are we going to see next?"

"We will witness the grandeur of order and the immensity of void."
