Chapter 1,482 How Big Can the Amount of Information Be?
The first tough battle is temporarily over. The next step is to build a bridgehead, create a temporary sovereignty hub, watch out for the counterattack of the fallen apostles, and rest. Xiaoxue and Qianqian were mentally exhausted during the battle and have gone back to their rooms to rest. The others I either rested or found a place to hang out. Only my sister, me, and Sandora were left on the bridge.
Of course, there are also those dedicated imperial commanders.
"The celestial system fleet will arrive on the battlefield in an hour," Sandora looked at the holographic image in front of her and nodded slightly, "After destroying the sovereignty hub, the fourth fleet successfully rewritten the identification rules of the world barrier. This universe is equivalent to temporarily disappearing in the fallen world. The apostles' territory has been identified, and they won't be able to find the teleportation point for at least a few hours, which is enough time for us to expand our base."
"Then move on to the next world," Sister said with a smile on her face. Although the first battle took a lot of time, it was basically spent fighting the enemy's space fortress. The actual battle damage was much smaller than expected. The emperor's body is still almost at full strength and will soon return to full strength. Such a good momentum makes Sister-sama unable to help but become more motivated, but she is also a little confused, "But let's go forward one world at a time like this? How long will this fight last?”
"Of course that's not the case," Sandora casually switched the picture on the holographic projection, presenting the simulated view of the void and the world before our eyes, "This is the world we occupy now. It is equivalent to a frequency in the radio wave. Each The world is equivalent to a frequency, randomly distributed in a large environment called the void - this is our next goal, and the next goal. You see, as long as we capture enough universes, we can form a discrete node cluster. , just like determining the basic indicators of a large number of goods through sampling, these worlds will mark a large number of continuous material universes, and these material universes are similar in identification characteristics. The world barrier can produce a certain degree of resonance. When we combine these key nodes Control everything in your hands, and then broadcast the same thing at every node..."
Sandora clicked on the schematic diagram on the holographic image to connect several colored patches representing the material universe. Immediately, the continuous colored patches around them were "dyed" into the same color as if dye was dropped into water.
"This is a complex resonance process, and it is also why the death of a world often affects all similar universes, causing the phenomenon of 'doomsday echo'. Through similar principles, as long as we occupy a series of key nodes, we can destroy a large number of The world barrier of the universe was rewritten as 'Empire Frequency', and then they became the de facto empire territory. Then we only need to slowly clear out the isolated and helpless defenders inside," Sandora said with a happy smile on her face. "My favorite thing at the time was this kind of 'enclosure and expansion of territory'. It was a pleasant and good day... dragging dozens of universes back to the empire, and then lying in bed and counting the galaxies."
I:"……"
In fact, from a certain perspective, Sandora and Pandora are both violent and war-mad - but the latter is a sudden advance type, while the former is a strategic type.
"How is the cracking of that database?" I shook my head vigorously, forgetting the scene where Shandora was lying on the bed holding a data terminal to calculate the territorial area, and mentioned the previous "salvage" from the sovereignty hub. database thing.
"The database is intact, but it is encrypted layer by layer." Shandora pulled at her data terminal slightly bored, "Experts are trying to break through its firewall, and Pao Pao is also personally processing the data coming from there. It should be There will be results soon."
After the battle, the Imperial Army had reorganized, and the First Fleet stayed on the world barrier to continue deploying disruptors to enhance the defense of this temporary territory and be ready to meet the enemy's counterattack at any time. The Fourth, Sixth, and Seventh Fleets and The Royal Fleet was stationed on the spot around the enemy's sovereignty hub. Now the two artificial planets have turned into two drops of space slag. Its high-altitude orbit is also filled with broken wreckage and ghost energy storms that have not yet dissipated. This environment is naturally extremely harsh for ordinary civilizations, and they must avoid it. However, for the emperor, it is just the opposite: those scattered wreckage. It can be recycled on site and used to build a temporary space base. The semi-melted planet can not only be used as a source of material, but also as a source of gravity needed to build a temporary stronghold. Although these things are a drop in the bucket for the emperor who is not short of supplies. . But what Xiling Apostle has always advocated is absolute efficiency - including the efficiency of recycling and reusing materials.
This is a group of wealthy people who have a lot of money and want nothing, but they are also a group of entrepreneurial people who are careful in their calculations and refuse to waste a screw.
There is a reason for this kind of careful calculation: no matter how big the family fortune is, it must be accumulated bit by bit. The Xiling apostles have come step by step from mortals to today, and they have not used technology to crush the world from the beginning. They are a generation of hard-working rich in the true sense. They will never waste even a gram of materials because they have plenty of money: because they firmly believe that one extra bullet can often determine the direction of a balance of power war.
Even those psionic storms that permeate the space for a long time are useful - those ravens are rushing around happily in the storms. In theory, they are charging themselves with extra energy, but in fact they should only Let’s play…
There is a temporary space laboratory more than 100 kilometers away from the Imperial Admiral. The laboratory is deformed and reorganized from two engineering ships and a scientific research ship. It looks like an irregular polygonal platform. The database salvaged from the Sovereign Hub was transported there, and is now being tossed by more than 130 experts - I hope this database really contains the information we need.
I thought it would take a long time for the laboratory to get the results, but the database was cracked faster than expected - before the celestial system fleet was in place, a group of extremely efficient experts found a way to hack into the database. , Paopao immediately raised his voice and broadcast to the entire Empire Admiral: "The child's father! The database has been read~~~blah blah~~~~~"
At this time, I was accompanying Sandora in the restaurant to eat something to fill my stomach. Pao Pao's hurried broadcast was like rushing to reincarnate, and I almost choked on a mouthful of cake. I raised my head and yelled at the ceiling. One sentence: "You are seeking death! Why are ghosts howling?"
"This is an echo," Bubble answered confidently on the ship's radio, not caring that he was now using a public channel. "Okay, hurry up and read the report! There is something fatal in the database!"
When Shandora and I heard this, we immediately didn't care about teaching the abnormal Xiling host, and quickly opened our respective data terminals to check the situation. Bubble has uploaded the first piece of information read from the database to the public information link, which is the highly encrypted log of the Fallen Apostle's border military stronghold and various orders from within the Abyss Zone. The amount of information in these things is scary enough. A somersault:

The mental network fragmentation continues to worsen. It has spread to the headquarters, and the number of soldiers commanded by "that lord" is basically the same as that of the new army soldiers. A confrontation has now formed within the headquarters. It has been confirmed that the following units (followed by some unit numbers that have no meaning) have been split into the New Army camp, and the situation needs to be closely monitored.
(The following are miscellaneous records. With the destruction of the Fallen Apostles’ sovereign hub and local defenders, there is no longer any meaning, so they will be skipped here.)

The schizophrenia of the mental network has temporarily stopped deteriorating, and the strength of the new army and the old army are basically the same - at least this is the case in this universe. It is not yet certain what the situation is in the empire. It is currently judged that the network split is still under control and planned. After several frictions, the new army and the old army held a unification meeting in the network buffer zone. The bottom line and common policy of action of all parties have been determined. The interests of the empire still come first, and the confrontation in the border areas has ended.
(The following remains miscellaneous.)

The serious consequences of network fragmentation are expanding, producing a large number of unexpected and harmful effects. I received definite news today that the domestic conflict has intensified again. "That Lord" has not sent new instructions. This site continues to perform its inherent tasks. The only good news: all border defenses are still under the control of the old army. The New Army is expanding its power. Today, the border station received three orders, two of which were from the New Army, although they are insignificant. But this signals a troubling trend.

The priority of the "Great Cause" was raised to the highest level, and the proposal of "entering the final stage" received more than 60% approval. In addition to the necessary garrison forces at the border stations, the remaining fleets were organized into expeditionary forces and main echelons at all levels. The countdown to the final war begins, and no one can stop the empire's "great cause"! We will conquer all unknowns!

The network split may have gone out of control, and the New Army has escaped control. It is confirmed that the New Army has changed its military emblem and the identification codes of all soldiers, and there are signs that they are preparing an attack on the God Realm-"My Lord" has expressly prohibited this at this time. To start the final war, because the time is far from mature, it is obvious that the new army does not agree with the judgment of the "adults" at all. They have estimated the progress of the "great cause" too optimistically and can't wait to open the door. The new decision-maker will suffer. , but before that, it would first destroy the entire empire.
However, the situation is no longer under our control. As soldiers, we can only wait for the "sir"'s order at this moment. We believe that the situation will not deteriorate to the final stage and "that master" should be prepared for this.
The management of this site is about to be handed over to the new army. I hope they can realize that the empire on the other side of the void is also a huge threat.

The network cutting is completed, the transfer of management rights is completed, and all handover and testing of this site have been completed today. But this site probably won't be of much use anymore - the work is almost done, and we no longer need to be constrained by this unpleasant world of order.
The stubborn old army has withdrawn from this world. The old master seems to be integrating his army and planning to settle down in a corner. This should be good news. Although the old master proposed a great cause, he obviously does not have the ability to complete it. , it is a wise move to hand over the heavy responsibility to new decision-makers who are more suitable to continue.
These are the main valuable logs. What remains is a large amount of border defense information involving technical details, as well as some information that has lost its timeliness. Obviously, those things do not need to be paid much attention to.
After reading the information in front of us, Sandola and I looked at each other: if the amount of information revealed by these things were expanded, I'm afraid it would be more than a million words! Does this mean that not only have the fallen apostles officially split, but their territory has also been cut off? !
"Who are we fighting now?" This was the first question that popped up in my mind, but I soon found the answer: If there are no other major changes in these logs, there is no doubt that the current leader is corrupt. The so-called "New Army" should be in charge of border defense.
Sandora suddenly thought of something. Contact Sivis immediately: "Did the troops cleaning the battlefield find the enemy's legion emblem?"
It took two seconds for Sivis to receive a reply: "Yes, we found the wreckage of the battleship with the emblem of the fallen apostle, and I will send the image of the emblem."
Soon we received the fallen apostle emblem uploaded by Sivis from the data terminal, and I recognized it immediately: it was exactly the pattern that Father God showed to me when he was in the God Realm.
Brand new logo.
Sandola and I looked at each other: there is no need to ask more about the situation, the events recorded in the log are true. The Fallen Apostles have been divided into two parts: the "New Army" and the "Old Army", and it is the New Army that came up in the later period that is currently in charge of the Abyss Zone.
It was this so-called new army that fought fiercely with the emperor an hour ago.
Shandora was stunned for a few seconds, then shook her head indifferently: "No matter how we divide, we are all enemies anyway. According to the situation just now, there will be no difference in fighting. And according to the new army's behavior and the situation recorded in the log... I'm afraid this new army is more harmful than the old one. They are acting more recklessly."
I put the data terminal away, with a lingering question in my mind: "Where did the old army... and the Abyss Xiling go?"
According to the clues revealed in the logs, the new army finally gained the upper hand after the Abyss Zone was split. Abyss Xiling and the legion she led seemed to be squeezed into a corner. It is not yet certain whether these forces have completely died out, but the whole thing This is enough to make people stunned and unbelievable - the greatest threat to the new empire has always been, the fallen apostle commander who has made our whole family and the gods feel like they are in the throat. The Abyss Xiling is just... inexplicably finished?
Brought down by an inexplicable network split. Before the emperor and the gods took action, she was finished like this? ! So what do I think about the insomnia I had all night long? Although insomnia at that time was mostly due to the noisy little dolls that prevented people from sleeping...
"I didn't expect it to be such a result." Even Sandora shook her head with a strange expression. Looking at her appearance, she didn't know whether to cry or laugh. "But I don't think the Abyss Xiling will die so easily - she It won’t be that weak.”
Then Sandora and I fell into a brief silence. I felt a little strange in my heart: Abyss Xiling has always been my biggest enemy, and she is far-sighted. It’s hard to fathom. Not only is she vast in power, but she also has a powerful legion that has been painstakingly managed to this day. And until today, I thought her rule over the fallen apostles was absolute. However, in such a short period of time, this powerful enemy disappeared. She fell inexplicably, so unexpectedly, it was even close to a farce... I have been holding back my energy for several years, let alone the last punch. The cotton is gone, not even the cotton is left!
I guess Sandora has similar thoughts in her mind.
"In short, at least one thing is correct." Sandora was silent for a long time, and finally shook her head vigorously. "Now is the weakest period of the fallen apostles. Whether it is a split or a civil war, it gives us the opportunity to advance. This battle We must keep fighting no matter what."
"I suddenly hope that Abyss Xiling is still alive," I smiled and looked at Sandora, "If she is alive, the civil war between the fallen apostles will continue. Now that the gods have contained half of their troops, the civil war will continue to contain them. Some, we have to save a lot of trouble."
Sandora rolled her eyes and said, "How can such a good thing happen? Even if the Abyss Xi is alive, the fallen apostles are not stupid. Didn't you see what is said in the log? They still give priority to the interests of the Abyss Empire. If we are really desperate, I'm afraid it will end the schism in the abyss area..."
Speaking of this, Sandora stopped suddenly, and my expression also changed:
Yes, the divisions and civil strife in the Abyss Zone should still continue, and the log has made it clear that both the new army and the old army put the interests of the "Abyss Empire" first. If the Gods and the New Empire really push them hard this time, and fail to wipe out the entire fallen apostle camp, I'm afraid they will reintegrate!
"Then shall we fight?" I looked into Sandora's eyes. She hesitated for only a moment before nodding vigorously: "Fight, why not fight! Maximizing the results is the most important thing, and the Gods are about to start an expedition. The fallen apostles will not always be in civil war. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity - just be careful when advancing this time. The environment in the abyss area is too complicated. After several years of investigation, we still can’t tell how deep it is. Furthermore, it is not yet certain whether the "old army" of the fallen apostles is still alive, so we cannot push too far. If the fallen apostles turn around and reintegrate when the emperor's attack goes too deep, we They might get stuck in there.”
