Warhammer 40k Origins Stellaris Civilization Simulator

"The outpost of Old Deng in the Void Realm? It's not bad as an enclave. I can also get some psychic theory."

The spiritual dimension of this world is far more dangerous than the virtual realm, but high-dimensional interferers can always overcome it.

.........

Northeast of Helka, our research ship has crawled through the thin cosmic dust and entered a dense new system named Andod, which also has an Earth-like planet labeled Andod v.

The newborn stars on this planet are also full of vitality, and just a few power generation stations can provide a large amount of energy coin income.

After receiving the news, the Alliance headquarters on Helka prepared a new Genesis Ark to open the third colony. However, compared to the newly born Andod colony, an even more bizarre encounter awaited us.

It was a galaxy shrouded in a strange lavender nebula, with a purple planet inside. Sensors were unable to observe what the surface of the planet looked like.

The inhabitant here attracted our attention. It was a huge rock floating in the void, flashing with unnatural energy colors.

The research vessel tried to establish contact with the other side, and to their delight, they received a positive response. It was a space station with normal intelligent creatures, although its technology operated in a completely different way from ours.

The relevant scientific research and diplomatic records have been sent in detail to Helka Prime for review by the Archon Conference.

.........

The dark, Zelvan scientist in charge of the research ship center, her professionalism was undisputed, but now she succumbed to pure inspiration and felt that they should bypass this area. "Should we discuss the route issue again?"

She was deeply uneasy about the encounter. Although everything in the system was peaceful, she felt like the seabed beneath a storm. The calm was because she hadn't breached a boundary. If she rose to see more, she would fall directly into the storm.

As Zelvans, their species' bloodthirsty nature made them controversial within the Alliance. Sometimes, stereotypes about others become self-fulfilling prophecies, so the Federation's approach was to hire them as usual, using real, everyday contact to dispel rumors and collective fears.

However, for You'an, a Zelvan, being accused and whispered about behind her back with stereotypes every day is nothing compared to the sixth sense that sends a chill down her spine. The only thing she admires about her allies is that some of them are completely unaware of this.

Doctor Tessexin, a member of the Squidman expedition team, was urging the others to connect the relevant electrical signals. "I don't understand what you're hesitating about. It's just about establishing communication. We can't neglect the owner of this place."

Perhaps their slowness is exactly what we need, which is why we need to establish a federation that includes so many different species. Some things cannot be solved by advanced technology alone, and others are very important to us.

Apparently, the loyalty of most of the expedition ship's members to the Alliance's cause outweighed their strange fear of the other side suddenly unleashing their magical powers, resulting in the destruction of the expedition ship and the loss of life. A stable communication signal was established, and a strange scene was transmitted.

It was a hall steeped in mysticism, its shrine's winding structure radiating a spiritual light. Compared to the outpost of the extraterrestrial civilization encountered in 2240 of the Dragon Age, it resembled a medieval magical temple.

In the temple, an alien creature wearing a red robe and a red veil, whose appearance cannot be seen, was watching the communication channel.

Its language is not any of the Alliance's standard languages, and the translation program has not yet been cracked, but all members of the Star Alliance's scientific expedition team can understand its meaning.

"Aha! A visitor. Welcome, welcome."

Doctor Tessexin of Biology was chosen as a representative to respond to this seemingly well-intentioned greeting. The Squidman's culture, which values monasticism and speculation, was not at all surprised by this metaphysical style. He respectfully responded, "May we have the honor of gaining a deeper understanding of you and your station, philosopher?"

"We are visionaries. Our gatherings speak of powers beyond mortal comprehension. We ponder the secrets hidden within dreams and thoughts, explore reservoirs of primal psychic energy, and gaze upon the invisible gears that drive entire civilizations. The void holds much to those who listen. At this moment, I listen to you. What brings you here? Do you know?"

The alien who called himself the Vision Prophet responded to the scientific expedition team's questions in this way. His language was mysterious and difficult to understand, full of bizarre metaphors and rhetoric, but the meaning was friendly.

"Psionics? We thought it was some kind of imaginary concept." Tessexin couldn't understand. "There are many legends about magic and psychic powers in our race's history, but they were later proven to be false. The so-called psychic powers are still illusions created by the use of science and technology."

"This kind of aptitude is interdependent with both fortune and misfortune. Your kind cannot see the appearance of the Supreme Heaven, nor are you trapped by it." The other party's answer was mysterious. Generally speaking, it can be simply summarized as the squid people "lack talent."

"The course of fate reveals that there will be a connection between us, so we want to propose a deal to you. Our mastery of psychic power has reached the level of mastery, and we are very happy to guide children like you who are just learning psychic power. However, the teachings should not be passed on lightly." Realizing that the new space civilization before them knew nothing about the subspace, the attitude of the Illusion Prophet became noticeably friendlier. It was hard to say whether it was because he wanted to support the newcomers or because he saw a business opportunity.

"We will need this kind of service. Your insights are invaluable, Prophet." Although the Squid Man is a staunch materialist, this does not mean that he turns a blind eye to the new laws of the universe that obviously exist. No matter what he can learn in the end, it is always a good thing to have someone to guide him.

Due to the particularity of this galaxy, our personnel did not want to stay here for a long time. They left immediately after leaving behind the communicator and outpost, and reported the content of the negotiations here back to the main star of Helka, and the Supreme Council of the Federation would decide what to do next.

The First Consul is now old, but he is still strong. Advanced genetic medical methods and the powerful physiological functions of the dragon species mean that he does not have to worry about the problem of old age and dementia. He was re-elected as the Supreme Consul for the third term. He attaches great importance to this issue and ordered to make further contact with the Illusion Prophet with rewards.

Sociological issues have never been on par with physics and engineering; rather, they only become equivalent when science and engineering are combined. Managing such a complex and diverse nation is impossible without the constant adjustment of social consciousness. Faced with a major breakthrough in the study of consciousness, such as the power of the mind, there is no reason not to seek the experience of advanced civilizations.

But the answer can be incredibly painful, both mentally and physically.

8. Psychic Science

"When did the Void Rise mod get updated with such a complex mechanism? Besides 25 times the Void Realm physical Martian soldiers, it can also reduce stability and affect the spiritual flight situation. Idealism is in trouble now."

Countless practical difficulties are nothing more than a trivial assessment for all rulers.

"And how did Old Deng reveal the information... It wasn't the Minama Group, Blackhearted Caper?"

The Fourth Calamity recalled something. "It seems like it's a third-rate offshoot of a third-rate faction in some immersive, thrilling social board game. So, the Chaos Multiverse is collaborating with other IPs? It's hard to imagine the authentic Angsar being able to negotiate the exorbitant copyright fees."

He knows a great deal, for the power of destruction is powerless before him, and his incarnations will also receive the gift of this insight and walk on the right path.

.........

The revelation provided by the Illusion Prophet cost the Alliance's governors more than 700 energy coins and gave them a headache for three months.

Beyond the material world we usually know, there is another dimension, a realm of pure spirit, in which all thoughts and consciousness of the real universe are condensed into entities.

There are spiritual energies in the universe. In ancient times, they were called witchcraft and magic. Now, they have a more scientific description: psionic power.

This power is strongly related to the mind of living things, and therefore affects different species differently.

According to the report of the scientific expedition team, we found that the Squid People and Poison Ivy People were almost completely unaware of the mystery in that psychic galaxy.

The twins, the mushroom man and the dryad, only feel uncomfortable when looking directly at the psychic planet below the space station.

Several other species will initially experience mental delirium, hallucinations, and psychosis when the influence of psionic energy increases, and in severe cases, even physiological abnormalities.

Although the initial reactions of the Swamp Demon and Drax were more severe than those of the others, they began to display extraordinary magical powers after adapting to the effects. For example, Drax's flight ability, which had been degraded due to his enormous size, reappeared in those who came into contact with the Void Planet.

Through this data, we have confirmed the existence of psionic energy, which originates from a certain soul that exists in all intelligent and even non-intelligent creatures.

As the thinking basis of sentient life, these souls and the energy they generate exist in a dimension unique to them, a mirror image of reality, the mind of the universe, which can be called the soul plane, the other world, the empire or the warp.

However, a shocking question is, why is the knowledge of the other world provided by the Illusion Prophet filled with unspeakable mania and terror? The thinking power of a living being cannot be presented as pure madness and deformity, so what about the stable and normal part?

When we asked the mysterious old wizard for advice on this issue, even he was very secretive. After extorting some money from us, he reluctantly revealed a metaphor to us: a bad beginning brings a bad end.

Considering the existence of previous slave civilizations, we are not alone, so the bad beginning may be related to other civilizations in the universe. This points to a very bad guess: due to unknown reasons caused by pioneers in the universe, the soul dimension has been polluted.

The other side of the world, which was once the destination of life, is now filled with incomprehensible madness and terror. Extreme and twisted spiritual energy flows in it, polluting all creatures that try to peek into its essence.

In any case, our sociology director came to a rather grim conclusion: the place where the souls return is dark and gloomy, the mythical hell appears, but there is no heaven. God exists, but He hates us.

This situation is far beyond the scope of our current social science understanding. After all, we have never heard of physical knowledge driving people crazy, but psychic power can.

In this environment, maintaining confidentiality over some relevant information becomes a righteous act. People have always had the right to know everything, but now they must have the right not to know some things, even if this violates the basic rules of the federal government and appears arbitrary.

Ultimately, through a vote within the executive council, the executives decided to classify this information as confidential at level one, and even the CEO himself would only be able to know a very limited portion of the content.

A series of secret agencies are set up to handle these matters, their main members being squid men and poison ivy demons. The burden of mental research will be placed on those with steadfast souls. If the general public does their part and lives rationally, perhaps we will eventually overcome this corruption that has infiltrated the minds of all living things.

At the same time, a series of activities to change customs and habits were also carried out. After understanding the mysterious connection between biological minds and the subspace, all traditional customs that might have mystical implications were transformed or even directly banned.

Some sociologists protested that this was a destruction of traditional culture and an excessive interference in the autonomous rights of states, but it was impossible to stop this action.

However, the news brought by the virtual mentor was not all bad. When he collected the second payment, he also took the opportunity to explain to us the strong connection between superluminal technology and psychic power.

Since the soul realm itself is a chaotic mirror image of reality, the space-time orientation therein is asymmetrical with the normal universe. With the help of this characteristic, with the correct navigation, by jumping into the subspace and then returning, it is possible to cross the distance of the physical universe at superluminal speed.

Perhaps we could conduct some research in this area, but it's not appropriate now. Only when a comprehensive system of protection against psychic influence is established can we ensure that the relevant scientific research will not drive people crazy.

At the same time, we also learned the true identity of the "Slave Masters", an ambitious group from the evil Eldar species.

These vile humanoids known as the Eldar are a race of cosmic locusts possessing powerful psychic powers and depraved morals. They threaten the normal life of all intelligent life in the galaxy, driven by their own insane psychic delirium or simply to destroy other species for their own pleasure.

We will never forget this kind of hatred. Even if they hide themselves very well through psychic powers, they will not escape from our hands forever.

There is one more reason guiding the Helka Interstellar Alliance to rapidly develop science and technology. Without sufficient technological capabilities, we will never be able to avenge the slavery and eliminate a scourge for the galaxy.

Whether it is matter or consciousness, the Illusion Prophet tells us that the world is full of crises, but the people of the Alliance will not be frightened by difficulties. We must deal with all these impure things. Perhaps this is the reason why such a group of people in distress from all corners of the galaxy finally gathered together.

9. One Piece

"Without the prerequisite technology, I can't use Webwalker, so I can only use One Piece."

The Fourth Scourge has a natural sensitivity to speed. In order for his galaxy to run smoothly, he will not hesitate to destroy life outside his empire.

Now, his complaints about faster-than-light systems have led to an unimaginable technological breakthrough.

.........

During this period, the Helka Star Alliance has made new developments.

The use of quantum entanglement theory in communications and the launch of the first experimental destroyer prototype marked the orderly progress of a new phase of the production plan. The physical and engineering technology of the Interstellar Alliance has made great progress, as has the sociological evolution of its people.

The traditional cultures and customs that once varied widely among races and might not necessarily be suitable for an interstellar utopian society were integrated and reshaped during the planetary unification movement, becoming a set of consensus-based moral and legal codes universally accepted by all citizens. Sociologists are even researching the "theory of moral plasticity," but it's unclear what results they will bring.

Our civilization is constantly progressing, and even scientific leaders are delighted and worried that perhaps our technological progress will not keep up with the pace of the ascension era, and we will be trapped in the lack of scientific tools to realize our lofty ideals.

But no matter what, the current situation is gratifying. The abundant resources provided by the elite division of the Alliance's mother planet Helka give us plenty of room to build new colonies.

Within four years, the new Genesis Ark transformed Andod V into a new Eden for the entire Interstellar Alliance, and enlightened new species. The Genesis Ark's Genesis Engine was reactivated, and the resulting positive cohesion benefits also provided the necessary insights for us to enter a new era of ascension.

Our Ascension Theory Director believes that in addition to the ascension we are generally aware of, there is also an ever-deepening staged ascension system. To achieve this type of advanced ascension requires greater effort and more resources, but once successful, the realization of this advanced ascension can bring about an impact of 1+1>2.

Now, with the traditional development and the supply of the newly born Andod V, whose main industry is to provide cohesion, the Helka Alliance can make enough efforts to achieve advanced ascension.

It all started with a space development plan called Mastering the Void. Due to the difficulty of communication between galaxies, the leaders of the alliance believed that each galaxy should develop sufficient defensive forces.

Under this proposal, the Interstellar Alliance began to try to further increase the scale of galaxy fortresses and reduce costs so that galaxy fortresses could be more widely built in each important galaxy node.

This experiment was a success, and now the vast galaxy holds infinite wealth, waiting to be explored by empires that can control the void. The number of our star bases has increased greatly, enough to ensure that every star region is hidden by them.

During the implementation of this ascension operation, multiple space experiments gave our scientific research center new inspiration, and the design concept of a more powerful new engine was proposed.

Quantum action at a distance has long been thought to be used only to transmit information, but the latest research results show that the quantum observer effect can be used in more complex fields, such as transition systems.

This quantum engine, known as "Schrödinger's Cat", is the latest achievement of our physics. It transforms our spacecraft into a quantum state through the observer effect, and then violates the theory of relativity through this "both existing and non-existent" state, crossing the physical universe at superluminal speed.

Finally, through an "anchored observation" initiated at the destination, the quantum state collapses, so that the spacecraft is "observed to exist here" and materializes at the destination, and then the entire jump process is completed through quantum action at a distance.

After experimental testing, this system has maintained over 1000 percent stability, and its current power has been confirmed to be percent higher than our original jump engine.

However, the new engine has flaws. The first is that the observer effect produced by other entities can affect the action at a distance, thereby stopping the quantum leap prematurely.

Secondly, if the engine fails, it may cause the quantum ship to be unable to collapse forever, turning it into a quantum ghost that is "both dead and alive". However, these problems are still within the scope of improvement.

This new propulsion system, known as the Grand One Piece Engine, can reach a peak power of several times the speed of light per day when operating at full power, quantum scintillations, unaffected by the observer effect. Furthermore, this "scintillation" itself consumes very little energy; a standard fusion reactor could sustain a jump for decades, making it a very cost-effective option for Helka's current territory.

Since, according to the Vision Prophet, only the hyperspace system can be called a true superluminal engine, our spacecraft can be said to be still using a subluminal engine in essence, which is just a subluminal engine that can exceed the speed of light.

Despite the various challenges of quantum leap technology, such as the lack of interference during propulsion, the Chief Archon and other members of the ruling group overwhelmingly approved the proposal to mass-produce this new engine. Regarding the secrets of psychic superluminal travel, the Vision Prophet was also shrouded in secrecy. This elder offered us the best guidance through his silence.

Some information doesn't need to be conveyed verbally; silence is more effective. He believes developing a subspace FTL system is unwise, at least not at this stage. The only thing we can rely on is this system, jokingly called "quantum skipping stones."

In any case, this is still a major piece of good news. The journey that once troubled us has now become very short. It only takes a few months for our fleet to reach any important colonial galaxy, and simply transmitting communications can be even faster.

Riding on the solar wind and through the universe, we feel the starlight from billions of light years away, and one day we may be able to touch it.

Unfortunately, before the Millennium Stars and Dragons could be together, the abominations within them arrived at our side like lightning. Our colony on Dot Agath III sent a distress signal; a strange, extremely dangerous cosmic intelligent creature launched a fierce attack there.

Our civilization's research center is being bombed. This is unbearable. Consisting of two newly built destroyers and forty escort vessels, a fleet personally named "Metal Dragon" by Archon Ashardron has embarked on its journey. This largest space force assembled since the founding of the Federation will bury the enemies of the Interstellar Alliance.

10. The Green Grandpa tried to shoot down the Federation Destroyer with a boarding cable

"There's a bit of greenskin mixed in with the Void Debate Bug Disaster?"

The player who controlled all operations on an inconspicuous planet was furious about this combination. He still remembered how he was troubled by the void worms when he first cleared the Museum of Natural History.

"Galaxy, answer honestly, or I'll send destroyers to send you all to the sky!"

.........

The star fortress at Dort Agate III has observed a very strange life form. If one were to use a metaphor, it would be like "a metabolic organism dotted with space junk."

Those tangled and twisted space creatures called void worms are filled with disorganized mechanical structures, turning them into a kind of "space stowaway".

As the wrecked ship approached, the Confederate soldiers could hear a terrifying war cry, as powerful as a tidal wave, even though sound cannot travel through a vacuum. It sounded like "Wagggh!"

Those green-skinned, shouting aliens driving void worms looked like they were hostile, and in fact they were.

As soon as they entered the star's gravitational capture range, they began to attack our star base. Dort Agat's space defense system could only struggle to hold on because it was not large enough to resist this "biological fleet".

The only thing the people of Dort Agate can do is hide in the bunker, make sure the data is not burned, and provide support to the planetary defense force to hold out until rescue from the mother planet arrives.

For details of the battle, we must rely on the reports of the commander of the first war zone, which will be Dagda of the dryad species.

The fight against the Void Worm wasn't worth worrying about, because even if this creature had been transformed by some strange alien being, it was still just an ordinary cosmic beast.

Relying on the main attack of destroyers and flank harassment by frigates, the Federal Navy's blue laser weapons quickly turned all the entangled void worms into fully mature ones, clearing some dirt from the universe.
