What is Kerrigan, the illustrious Queen of Blades, most afraid of
Let me tell you, she is a one-meter-tall girl with a three-year-old IQ who has just grown her teeth and can't even speak fully...
I have to face this problem squarely: as a host of Xiling, there are moments like changing teeth in the process of growing up. Of course, there may be other reasons. Sandora's mother moved closer. For example, when catching something, she first uses her teeth instead of eyes to analyze it as the first sense. Little Bubbles' strong curiosity and the child's attribute of biting things are mixed together, and finally a baby is born. The existence that even the Zerg masters fear: Steel Teeth Little Bubble v1.0
In short, it is a naughty child who will sneak around behind you at any time, and then suddenly click on your bone wings...
For some reason, Little Bubble was very curious about the two pairs of bone wings on the back of the Queen of Blades. That thing seemed to be no less attractive to her than a whole piece of shining crystal, perhaps because it was finally in this boring place. I discovered something new and interesting and it led to it...
Anyway, in just two or three days, Kerrigan's bone wings have regenerated no less than four times, and each time she can only dare not speak out. As for the culprit, besides being forced to brush her teeth several times a day, there is still Get away with it in every hide-and-seek corner of the Reich Admiral.
"Okay ok, now let's turn our attention away from your hapless wings," I choked back a laugh, trying to ignore Kerrigan still hanging behind his back, swaying from side to side with the movement of his body Little Bubbles, "How far have you completed the re-takeover of the Zerg?"
"It's basically completed, but there are still a small number of Zerg outside my control," the Queen of Blades decisively gave up her bone wings that had just been regenerated at 9:30 in the morning, resigned to her fate and watched with a cramp in her teeth as a little girl was going to Qi Kaba Kaba twisted and twisted, "The speed of that shadow's self-awareness exceeded my imagination, perhaps because the surge in the number of Zerg led to the rapid evolution of the super brain, although I finally succeeded in assimilating that part Belongs to my spiritual power, but "she" left me with a big trouble - the Zerg in Irsana was separated by "she", and now they are about to produce a new master, and then leave forever My control, maybe I should leave that planet for you to continue to show the strength of the empire, throw it into the sun or something-that's the best end for them."
"I will destroy the entire Zerg, but not now." I shrugged and said, recalling Lilina's analysis: Kerrigan's mental state is very strange, she seems to be always swinging between humans and Zerg, she Thinking in the logical way of human beings, but using the values of Zerg to determine her final behavior, sometimes she puts the interests of Zerg first, as if she is really a complete Zerg, but more suitable But she was thinking about her own interests, using the entire Zerg race as a bargaining chip for her own interests.
Hurry up and return to her human face, with such a conspirator by her side, even though she can't achieve anything, it's too awkward.
"The entrance to the Holy Land is ahead, please stop your fleet first."
Zeratul, who had been keeping silent and distanced himself from Kerrigan, spoke suddenly, and at the same time cast a glance at the Queen of Blades.
The huge imperial fleet quickly came to a standstill with its unique coordinate braking method, a probe was released, and space probes began to be placed nearby.
"Don't worry, I don't have the slightest interest in your holy land. I will do my duty as a sentinel," the Queen of Blades contemptuously responded to Zeratul's vague glance, "Strictly speaking, now both of our races are fighting for To play for the Xiling Empire, at least you should show some Protos' sense of honor in this respect."
"No, Protos is not a subordinate of the Xiling Empire, I am only standing here in my own name, and you...instead should be the most untrustworthy one..."
Zeratul's voice was deep and powerful, although slow, each syllable carried undeniable force.
"Oh? Is this the last dignity of the 'Protoss' at work?" The Queen of Blades retorted, "Then why is the entire Shakuras running around looking for clues for an order from Emperor Xiling? Isn't this A performance of surrender?"
"Zergs only have orders and obedience in their minds, but we are more familiar with justice and faith. We are acting for the justice of the entire star region"
"That's enough." Sandora impatiently interrupted the conversation between the two, which was gradually smelling of gunpowder. Whenever these two bitter and bitter fellows get together, Sandora will inevitably use her own coercion to fight against each other. Let the two shut up obediently, "Zeratul, I'm not interested in your dispute Zeratul, where is the holy land you mentioned? Is it this vast universe?"
That's right, in the direction of the "Holy Land" that Zeratul said, we didn't see anything at all, the empty space, there is nothing that can be used as a visual reference, if this is the so-called Holy Land, then the Protosians That sucks - at least there has to be a beacon here too, right
"That's right, the holy land, but it's a dark holy land..." Zeratul's voice trembled faintly, "Strictly speaking, our holy land has disappeared in front of us. The sacred spaceship, that huge ship has maintained autonomous movement for tens of thousands of years under the impetus of some kind of force that we do not understand. We regard it as a moving temple, but not long ago, that holy place disappeared here Already... the front is the final boundary - your star map is much more accurate than ours - there is a boundary that blocks everything, the most thorough shadow territory, its existence cannot be observed by conventional means... we have paid a lot for this The price was high, many excellent fighters rushed into the disappearing temple when they were looking for it, and never came back, while other fighters were completely brainwashed by the sudden burst of "revelation" just by approaching, and almost became enemies who hated anyone. Crazy... They are still receiving the guidance of the sages, but unfortunately, I am afraid that they will not be able to get rid of the control until the "revelation" is completely eliminated, and until now, we have not been able to observe any abnormalities in this space—we have always At first it was speculated that there was a spatial distortion here, but later it was found that the space here is very smooth."
"No, it's not that you can't observe it, but that you haven't mastered the method," Sandora called up the scan results of the battleship, "a place that is denied, the ultimate void, even second only to the endless void."
Cosmic space is inherently empty, but that piece of spherical space is even more empty: not only is it empty, but even the background radiation and all kinds of microwaves that exist everywhere in the universe do not exist. interruption.
What's worse is that this kind of occlusion cannot be observed from the outside, and there is a layer of weird superimposed space on its surface, any observation method will be distorted to the other end of it, so in front of the conventional scanning system, this is a normal area, Not even the most advanced Protosian radar could see the truth here—so many Protosian expeditions were consumed by this invisible abyss.
The scanning system of the Xiling battleship is not afraid of this, it has a legendary third perspective...
That is to carry out comprehensive observations in a higher dimension. Our radar sets its own viewing angle to every coordinate within half a light-year around the battleship, observes here from every dimension, and then compares the data to draw the A picture of a quirky space.
"It looks like a...ball..." Qianqian looked curiously at the huge object that emerged on the holographic projection, but hesitated a bit, and then, as the space became clearer and clearer in the scan, she suddenly became surprised, " Wait... Ah Jun, does it look like... the sun?"
"It's not like, it's just a sun"
Sandora frowned and confirmed Qianqian's guess.
On the space image restored by the scanning system, a huge sphere is suspended in the universe. That is the appearance of the strange space called "Dark Holy Land" by Zeratul. When we zoom in, we can clearly see The edge of this black sphere is constantly floating and spewing fire-like things. Sometimes the huge fireworks that burst out are even thousands of kilometers high. Since this sphere is absolutely "black", we cannot see it heading towards this sphere. Whether or not the side is also burning with flames is something that is almost a no-brainer.
Seen from this direction, it looks like a cutout of paper—a cutout of the sun.
A burning black fireball, a dark sun, it devoured the exploration team of Protos, swallowed an ancient spaceship of Shernaga, and in the ancient times, God knows what else it swallowed, the universe is too big. So vast, a sun is not even as noticeable as a grain of soybean in this boundless void.
"Black Sun..." Zeratul's voice was low and filled with fear, "I have witnessed the birth of dark stars... But now, I think I have finally faced the ultimate darkness and emptiness in the universe, which is the real The Black Sun…”
"No, it's not empty," Sandora shook her head, "It just can't be described by this world."
"Sandora, do you know this phenomenon? How did it happen?"
Although I can't understand what Sandora and Zeratul are talking about, I still make it clear: Sandora knows this kind of black sun (now it can be determined, that strange space is a A sun showing absolute unobservability).
Sandora gently lifted a strand of blond hair that fell on her forehead, and said: "This phenomenon is quite rare, but Xiling people have already been exposed to this kind of thing. The black sun is just a manifestation of this phenomenon. It also has It may be a black planet, a black race, or... a black galaxy, there are many reasons for their appearance, and we discovered at least 117 conditions that lead to the existence of darkness, and each reason is not a good thing."
"What is it?" This is what Zeratul is eager to know now. This kind of existence, the dark paper-cut in the space, makes him feel uneasy from the soul.
"I can only say what they have in common: the existence of darkness was once a normal thing, and this black sun may have been a normal star a long time ago, full of brilliance and enthusiasm, and it may even have given birth to its own life , but its laws have been censored, clumsily censored."
"Why does matter exist in reality? How do you Protos scientists look at this problem?" Halfway through, Sandora suddenly changed the subject.
Zeratul was taken aback for a moment, but still replied: "Because reality exists around matter."
This is really a novel argument. Is this the Protosian world view
"It's very close," Sandora smiled approvingly, "but it's not comprehensive. Matter exists in reality. The real reason is that it can be known and defined by reality. Both us and God will... Something called it: the concretization of the law."
"The existence of laws is the only basis for defining existence or not. They are used to describe, define, and regulate changes and concepts. These things are intertwined to form existence, just as a series of parameters in the virtual world define a virtual individual. So now the question arises: What if some of these parameters were removed?"
Zeratul has been deeply attracted by this magical theory now, and even the Queen of Blades, who had been keeping a distance from him, came over a little bit, well, the latter still had a small bubble hanging on her body—it seemed that she had to Later the regeneration of the other bone wing began.
"Disappeared from reality? After it lost its own... laws?" Zeratul asked tentatively, the light in his eyes flickering like a curious child seeking knowledge.
"No, it will become what is in front of you: black existence."
"This star has encountered the greatest disaster that can exist in the world. It may not have any damage itself, but it has lost its most important thing: the integrity of the law. An existence that cannot be described will be rejected by the world, just like An unrecognizable pendant will turn into a question mark on the information screen of a fighter jet. The world cannot understand the sun, but it cannot ignore its existence, so the self-protection program is activated, and the world divides a precise data stack area, which has been The wrong data that cannot be described have been expelled here, the star is still burning alone, burning in a way that can no longer be understood by any means, and the black sun we see now is actually not the one that is no longer The star itself that cannot be described, but the safe partition used to save the star, but for the convenience of understanding, usually the two are considered to be coincident and equivalent—so you should be able to understand, right?"
"I should have taken a good test of the three poles of the computer..." I said quite seriously, and then hurriedly made amends before Sandora could lash out, "But I still understand it in general—then that space is an absolute vacuum?"
Sandora slowly shook her head and smiled at me: "Ah Jun, 'vacuum' is also a concept, where there is no concept, strictly speaking, it should be called 'unrecognizable'."
I turned my gaze to another holographic projection system, which showed the scene of outer space without any processing, it was pitch black, empty and desolate.
The black sun is there, burning quietly, but no one can perceive its existence. In any dimension that can be described, that space is smooth and complete, and no one can see the bottomless abyss hidden under it.
"What's in the black sun?"
After the initial shock, the Queen of Blades asked quietly.
"Hell for you, a world that cannot be described by laws, everything happens randomly, or doesn't happen, life is defined as death, molecules are defined as energy, and you go backwards in time, or worse: yourself It was directly designated as never existed. However, the crew of the Admiral Empire is not afraid of this. Our spaceship, together with the entire Xiling race, is set as an 'absolute existence independent of chaos'. This is our The result of a long time ago."
Sandora's words are not finished, this is our achievement a long time ago, but now we can no longer reproduce the glory of that time.
I don't know how the Xiling people did it at the beginning. They modified their race from the level of law as a whole, so that the whole race can be transformed into an existence that will never be affected by paradox. This may also include the relationship with the gods. Some kind of eternal agreement between them, of course, it is more likely that they have developed a self-consistent law that allows the entire Xiling race to adapt, which is beyond my imagination.
The Admiral Empire slowly began to accelerate, and together with its huge fleet, it moved towards the direction of the black sun, which is a celestial body more than a hundred times larger than the star around which the earth revolves (at least when it is turned into this It was a celestial body before), we can’t see its existence, but the spacecraft’s detection system has used multi-dimensional joint imaging technology to describe the shape of this area, and we are now close to its shell. In front of a star, it is as small as a moth that is clinging to the wall.
Of course, the power of this moth is much stronger.
Although our technology is still in an incomplete state, the efforts of the Xiling people in the ancient times have left amazing wealth. At least, we can easily enter this place that theoretically does not allow any order to exist.
After confirming the existence of the Black Sun, the Queen of Blades became even more certain of her decision not to enter, not to mention whether Zeratul would allow a Zerg Queen to approach her Holy Land (although the Holy Land may have been ruled by the wrong law now) Torn apart), the consequences of entering the Black Sun and losing his leadership of the Zerg was enough to make Kerrigan daunting.
She stayed outside the black sun, close to the icy shell of the dark star (technically, the safe space the world uses to store this star), volunteering to serve as a sentinel, in fact, returning to being supervised : A whole formation of expedition-class heavy frigates stared at her.
And with her are Renault and his whole team. Although they are also very interested in this magical "cosmic celestial body", they still obeyed our arrangement and stayed with the Queen of Blades outside the black sun. It can be regarded as another monitoring of the latter.
Zeratul travels with us, using a method that sounds incredible: I order in my name that the Dark Templar Zeratul be temporarily accepted as an honorary citizen of the Xiling Empire.
I know this sounds rather incomprehensible, but with just such an order, Zeratul at this moment gains the ability to act within the Black Sun: he is immune to the Black Sun's laws of chaos.
The power of the law is so powerful—of course, all we can use now is the power of the iron rice bowl left by our ancestors... M
