The Star Knight - 10. chapter Ten

Ugo’s wife gasped slowly on the curved metal chair, opened her eyes, and muttered something. Anya carefully wiped the sweat from her forehead.

“Anya.” Opal whispered: “I have a plan, but it needs your cooperation.”

Anya looked up at Opal.

Opal said: “The teacher said that everyone in the territory of the Republic must abide by the principle of interstellar humanitarian rescue. We do not have an identity certificate, but we are all humans like them, and the B11 star is also one of the jurisdictions of the Republic.”

Anya listened blankly, and Opal said, “So you will take her into the hospital later and let the people in the hospital cure her. Although the anti-inflammatory drugs temporarily suppressed her inflammation, her condition is still very serious. On the Scarlet Star, life is very important. As long as they go to the hospital, they will not leave it alone, and they will call the police next.”

“What does it mean to call the police?” Anya asked.

“Notify the police.” Opal explained: “Police…”

“It’s the police.” Reckett corrected.

Opal: “‘Police’ are people who maintain order, just like the foreman, but they maintain order, unlike ours. They will take you away and ask you some questions, including how you came to this planet. You just have to answer truthfully and tell them that I brought you in and everything can be resolved.”

Anya said, “Is there such a good thing? What about you?”

Opal nodded, patted her shoulder with his fingerless gloves, and said, “I still have things to deal with, and I will come to see you as long as I solve it.”

Reckett is standing in the center of the spacecraft, a round box is floating and rotating in the air. That is exactly the heart of the universe that Reckett used to recharge when Opal saw it a long time ago.

Reckett said: “This is the core operating system of the Dragon Ray. It can be responsible for all instructions most of the time.”

Opal asked: “Can we pass the immigration check?”

Rick nodded his head, indicating that he didn’t need to worry.

Opal stared at Reckett’s star map, Reckett explained: “I once had two star maps, and they were given to you. They were once a memorial to me.”

Opal said: “I will use it well.”

The silver dragon ray passes through 35,000 astronomical units and appears outside the Crimson Star’s atmospheric space station. Its flat metal shell slowly undulates, like a mysterious ancient creature in the ocean. When approaching the space station, it folds its wings and gathers it into an ellipsoidal space shuttle. The luster on the surface dims and appears black. Shows countless patterns.

There are densely packed space stations surrounding the Crimson Star, forming a sequence between them, with a distance of thousands of kilometers. When the silver dragon ray approaches one place, four space stations emit bright electric arcs at the same time, forming a net to block the space shuttle’s further advance.

There was an electronic sound from the communicator on the spacecraft: “Welcome to Crimson Star, please enter your pass number and submit an entry application.”

The indicator light on the front section of the space shuttle lights up with a red dot, and a beam of light is emitted from the top of the blue crystal. In the messy electronic sound, sound waves are emitted along with the electric waves, and the identity verification is passed.

Reckett did not speak, but his voice sounded in Opal’s mind: “Every time you enter a planet, you must fill out an entry declaration form to avoid carrying certain prohibited items in the universe. Usually the administrative stars manage this. Stricter.”

Opal nodded slowly, thinking about the declaration form? I didn’t see any action from Reckett.

Reckett seemed to have guessed his thoughts and communicated with consciousness: “The dragon rays have their own wisdom and have passed the declaration form content to the immigration center through radio waves. This includes the contents of the spacecraft, as well as the members of the ship, and the contents of the luggage. .”

Opal thought: Where is our identity?

Reckett replied with consciousness: “You have not made any declarations.”

Opal thought: What should we do?

Reckett did not answer him again.

“Welcome, Mr. Bai, a technical consultant from the Republic Atomic Pool Club.” This time, she changed her gentle female voice and asked: “Please tell me the purpose of your visit to Crimson Planet.”

Reckett said: “I came to visit an old friend, the ID code is RU301707.”

The female voice replied after being quiet for a while: “Your friend lives on 17th Street in the Heaven Fire Garden. She has been notified and welcomes your visit. Please abide by the Interstellar Peace Convention after entering the country. The weather on Scarlet Star is very good today. ,wish you happy.”

Reckett said: “Happy to you too.”

The circular arc was removed, and the space shuttle entered the atmosphere and landed toward the ground.

“Consultant of the Atomic Pool Club…” Opal asked, “What is it?”

Reckett said lightly: “It’s just a travel-friendly identity, sounds funny?”

Opal smiled and said, “It’s kind of.”

Reckett smiled: “Atomic pool is a kind of entertainment. It uses machines to make the atoms in the microscopic world collide with each other to gain points.”

Opal asked: “Do you like this activity? Didn’t you have a good time?”

Reckett said: “It’s barely passable.”

Opal looked at him suspiciously and said, “But you never taught me this.”

Reckett moved his eyebrows and said, “Indulging in entertainment can easily lead to a waste of what he should do. I haven’t played it for a long time.”

The spacecraft landed slowly, and the heart of the universe lit up, and Reckett immediately signaled him not to speak.

An electronic reminder sounded in the communicator again: “Attention, the immigration personnel report for verification.”

Rekert reported a name and pass code, electronically said: “Now we are going to perform radio scanning.”

Reckett made an action against the control crystal with one hand. The shell of the silver dragon ray became transparent, and the opal seemed to feel a net cover up, and then the blue crystal turned into liquid-like ripples, forming a light cover. Cages the wives of Opal, Anya and Ugo.

“This is a deception mechanism.” Reckett said: “It can hide most of the radio scanning.”

Opal said: “Thanks to you, teacher. If I come by myself, it might make things more difficult.”

Reckett said: “No, I think if you drive over in a spacecraft, the way might be more direct. You will be intercepted outside the defensive space station. You don’t have an identity certificate. After you fill out the entry declaration form, it will be caused. The attention of executive stars.”

Opal said: “So they will listen to my report?”

Lake characteristic head said: “Usually this kind of thing will be resolved, but the time delay is too long, it is not good for the situation on the B-11.”

After a few words, the small flying robot outside had already scanned and left, and the silver dragon ray slowly descended towards the airship apron and stopped in an open area.

Opal said: “Go down?”

Reckett waved his hand and made another action. The dragon ray shrank again, and the space inside the ship was compressed, and then transformed into a small alloy magnetic sports car. Reckett took the driving seat and the Opal took the co-pilot seat. , The long car shell reflected the brilliant sunlight, and carried four people off the apron.

Even the ground vehicle was saved. Reckett hugged his arms and didn’t need to drive. The silver dragon ray left along the dedicated ground traffic lane. Opal leaned in front of the car window, curiously watching this beautiful world.

The sky is like a blue washed by water, the sun is shining with orange-red in the afternoon, and the magnetic suspension lanes are full of gorgeous flowers. Each flower is five meters high, and the calyx is huge and presents a flame-like red.

“This kind of flower is called Crimson Saint.” Reckett said: “Only planets in the Chiyan galaxy, the environment is suitable for seeding.”

Opal said: “It’s so beautiful, I remember reading in the book, its nectar can be used to make wine.”

Reckett nodded cheerfully and said, “Crimson Saintess Wine is also a famous wine in the Milky Way.”

The Dragonray sports car slowed down before the third level. A human in uniform came over, holding a pen-shaped pocket projector, and politely waiting on the side of the road.

Opal said: “I want to check?”

Reckett said: “Maybe.”

Opal said: “Your car is too perfect and too conspicuous.”

Reckett said: “It could have been disguised a little bit shabby. This is just to make people less confident in the investigation. I didn’t expect that people in this galaxy… don’t seem to eat this set.”

Opal said: “Am I going to hide?”

Reckett said: “No.” Said Bi took off a pair of sunglasses from the front of the sports car and put on it.

The sports car came to a halt slowly, the side windows lowered, Opal looked outside, and looked at Reckett again. Reckett still wore the black sand bat leather cloak. Their simple clothes would only work in such a luxurious car. It looks very rustic, but when Reckett puts on his sunglasses, he has an alternative, masculine beauty.

“Mr. Bai from the Persian Galaxy of the Interstellar Republic?” The human said: “I need to check your transportation.”

Reckett looked at him and said casually: “This is a retro silver sports car, and the license plate number is already on the declaration form.”

The inspector said: “Yes, but this is a routine inspection. It is not because of your car…Please adjust the transparency of the windows, let me see…”

Before he could check the back seat, he met Opal’s eyes.

He turned on the pocket projector and projected a three-dimensional light screen, and said: “According to your entry declaration form, you are only one person, but…”

Opal knew that Reckett must have a solution, so he smiled at the inspector and said, “Hello.”

The inspector frowned: “Who is he?”

Reckett took off his sunglasses, looked into the inspector’s eyes, and said, “He is my student.”

Opal: “…”

The inspector’s eyes only disappeared for a moment, and then he returned to focus, and fell on Opal’s face, muttering: “He is your student.”

Lake nodded, and the inspector said to himself: “Yes, he is your student.”

Reckett said: “I can pass?”

The inspector said: “I wish you a pleasant journey on the Crimson Planet.”

The window was raised, and the sports car drove onto the road and galloped away.

Opal said: “What did you just do to him, teacher?!”

Reckett’s handsome mouth showed a narrow smile, and said: “Look, the road here is divided into many layers, hey, don’t make trouble!”

Opal came to grab Reckett’s hand in disbelief, Reckett lifted his arm away and said casually: “This is not something you should know.”

Opal said: “Can you control other people’s thoughts?”

Lake nodded, and Opal said, “Is it the effect of the power of faith?”

Reckett shook his head and looked out the car window thoughtfully.

Leaving the tarmac, all the roads criss-cross, with heavy traffic and crimson star vehicle roads starting from the ground, staggered layer by layer, one on top of the other, all the roads together are hundreds of meters high. All roads are floating in the air in the form of light tracks. The maglev sports car only needs to adjust the height to drive on different roads, with different classifications and different destinations.

The ground is the passage for transport vehicles and trains, and upwards are public transportation, large suspended vehicles, and small private vehicles, which are divided into categories and orderly.

Opal saw the giant electronic sign, the silver dragon ray was driving in the torrent of vehicles, and a small rotating round box was suspended in front of the driver’s seat, and the whole view of the crimson galaxy was projected on the round box.

Reckett’s finger clicked on one of them, the map zoomed in, and another area was selected-zoomed in again until they were in the position.

Opal said: “You have to go to the hospital first.”

Reckett nodded slowly and said, “What are you going to do?”

Opal said: “Anya, I’m going to put you at the entrance of the hospital, and it’s up to you next.”

Anya nodded nervously in the back seat.

Opal said: “Come on, Anya.”

The silver dragon ray stopped at the entrance of the hospital. Opal hugged his dying Ugo wife, placed her on the metal platform outside the hospital, signaled Anya to stand beside her, and then turned back, got in the car, and the sports car tilted. Leaning on one side of the car, drifting into the lane, drove in the other direction, took a circle, and came back from the other side.

Both Rekert and Opal are watching Anya on the metal platform.

An Ya nervously grabbed the corner of her clothes, wrapped her head in a cloth headscarf, standing on the platform very abruptly.

“Is anyone?” she cried anxiously, “Help! Help her!”

A robot galloped out of the tunnel, dickly detecting Anya and Ugo’s wife who was lying and panting.

More medical robots galloped out, Anya stepped back in fear, all the robots’ lights turned on, and a woman ran out of the aisle, beckoning Anya not to move, knelt on the ground and took out the testing instruments from the chest of the robot, and began to give Ugo’s wife checked.

Opal said: “Is that human a doctor?”

Reckett said: “Yes, your plan is not perfect, but it works well.”

It wasn’t until the two medical robots stretched out the iron pipe to form a stretcher to send Hugo’s wife to the hospital, and Anya followed in, that Opal really put down a big stone in his heart.

Opal said: “Everything will be fine, right, teacher.”

Rekert applauded: “The society of the Republic also has a dark side. Although there are many ugly things lurking in it, at least on the surface, many things have a positive side. What’s next? Continue your plan? ”

Opal took a deep breath and looked out of the car window, looking at the projected billboards flashing on both sides of the road.

【Seventy years to complete your dream of traveling around the universe, a new generation of spacecraft with transition function. 】

[Gene trains your next generation, the latest technology of perfect gene chain. Life Medical Company creates the best life for newborns. 】

[The new model of environmentally friendly smart home robots will make your home no longer cold and give you an emotional home. 】

A splendid world, weird and strange, this planet is full of countless unknowns and novelties, Opal would like to see it for a while. But his time is tight, every minute and every second is very precious.

“My original idea.” Opal said: “I want to come here with Anya with chips and evidence for help.”

Reckett answered casually, parked the car in front of an entertainment building with neon lights, took a card from the drawer in the front of the car, and swiped the card on the robot outside.

“Go on.” Rekert opened a small cover in front of the sports car console, and a progress bar was displayed on it.

Opal continued: “But Ugo entrusted his wife to me, and I changed my plan. Instead of contacting me, let the police find Anya, and I will turn in the evidence later… This robot is really interesting, better than I made E7 much better.” Opal noticed that the robot came again with a box wrapped in tin foil and asked: “Teacher, what are you doing?”

Recht said casually: “It’s normal to buy newspapers and dinner. Plans are not as good as changes. This is normal. You need to be flexible. You did a good job.”

When the window was closed, Reckett gave Opal a foil package. When Opal opened it, he found that there was a soft bread with meat sausages in it. Reckett said, “Some saint woman jam?”

Opal took a vial and learned how to squeeze it towards it. This thing was called a hot dog. He had seen it in a holographic movie.

Reckett ate the hot dog, turned on the projector in the car, the light screen unfolded, and it was full of real-time information, saying: “Don’t work anymore during meal time. Think of something else.”

Opal’s thoughts no longer knew that the fork was tens of thousands of light years away, and he smiled and said, “It tastes really good.”

Opal gobbled up hot dogs. It was so delicious. It was better than all the foods I had eaten on the B11 star. It was almost indescribable.

“Teacher.” Opal suddenly thought of another question and asked while chewing: “Since technology is so advanced, why are there still people in the hospital? Are the police also robots?”

“No.” Reckett said: “Since the humanoid life revolution 8,000 years ago, the Republic and the Empire have concluded the Smart Life Convention. The use of robots must be strictly controlled in any corner of society. After all, human beings cannot completely give up work. In addition to earning a living, work itself has more important sustenance.”

Opal remembered that this is the history of the universe mentioned on the chip, but I read it all by myself, and has almost forgotten it. Eight thousand years ago, the Empire and the Republic produced a large number of robots and put them into use.

However, no matter how high the processing power of the optical brain is, intelligent robots cannot always have emotions and think spontaneously. This rule was predicted as early as 20,000 years ago by a great scientist-a computer with a speed of 100,000 times is not even as capable of thinking independently as an earthworm.

Robots cannot have themselves. Scientists have proposed an extremely bold method: imitating human biological cells to synthesize and create a new type of humanoid computer with the strength of a robot.

Through hundreds of years of research and evolution, this “human-like life” has gradually begun to take shape. They have the strength of a robot and have a biological brain that is almost identical to that of humans. After the baby-like brain is formed, it can learn through autonomous learning. To gain consciousness and be controlled by the central chip.

These humanoid robots set off an intelligent revolution and were finally destroyed in batches.

Opal said: “They have no soul.”

Reckett grumbled. After eating the hot dog, he threw the tin foil into the trash can for destruction. The trash can is connected to the atomic decomposer, which can convert it into environmentally friendly energy.

Reckett said: “The imperial emperor Philoin Kartes has always opposed the large-scale application of human intelligence, but he can’t help his nobles.”

Opal nodded and said, “In the end they were all destroyed?”

Recht replied: “A new weapon has been developed in the ivory tower, which uses nuclear magnetic resonance to restart the central chip of all biological robots and make them kill each other.”

This paragraph was never read by Opal. He curiously asked: “What? Ivory tower?”

“The ivory tower, it is at the junction of the six black holes. It is beyond the future horizon, where light can never reach. It can only be reached through a higher-dimensional starry sky door. There is a group of lunatic scientists living in it. How to destroy the universe.” Reckett tilted Erlang’s legs and used a pocket cursor projector to absently turn over the newspaper on the screen, and the holographic projection also made a beeping sound.

Opal frowned and asked, “How did you know this?”

Reckett said: “Because I participated in the intelligent man revolutionary war, of course, I was on the side of the Republic.”

Opal said in disbelief: “You beat them alone?!”

Reckett said: “It’s two.”

Opal asked: “Who is the other one? Is your friend? I remember you said that there are three Star Knights…”

Reckett did not answer any more, and motioned to Opal to read the newspaper and said: “Today’s information is updated simultaneously, Opal, look.”

Turning a page of the holographic newspaper, the entire planet on the Scarlet Star is covered with an extremely developed information network. You only need to buy the newspaper once, and you can see all the news that is happening or has been constantly updated, every minute, every second , The news of thousands of magazines are constantly rolling, and now almost all news pages have the same headlines.

[B-11 star, a dark place that the glory of the Republic can’t illuminate. 】

The picture is a color photo of Anya. Her face is haggard and pale, and her eyes are full of tears, as if she was a silent accusation.

The news content tells how a young girl escaped from star B-11 and brought her seriously ill friend to Scarlet Star for medical treatment. Reckett said: “The most direct way to understand the political atmosphere and situation of a planet is to read their newspaper.”

Opal said: “Anya’s incident has disturbed many people, and action must be taken immediately.”

Reckett said: “Take you to the police station? The Planetary Police Department is only in charge of local affairs. You have to go to the Star Police Department headquarters. Dragon Ray, look at the coordinates.”

The silver dragon ray moved and walked along the road to the equator of the Crimson Star.

Opal grumbled, and began to think about how to respond. Reckett scrolled down the newspaper screen, and Opal saw another piece of news.

[The annual auction of mineral planets will start three days later, the commercial war between Black Rock Mining and Hollens Mining Company. 】

“Wait.” Opal said, “Teacher, I changed my mind.”

Reckett stopped the car, and there was a huge building in front of him. In front of the office building marked the Galaxy Police Station. Many cars surrounded the police station. Opal asked, “Who are those people?”

Reckett said: “Journalist is a difficult profession to deal with.”

Opal came up with a bold idea, saying: “Horrence Mining Company, is Black Rock Mining’s competitor?”

With admiration in his eyes, Reckett asked, “Do you want to revise your plan again?”

Opal nodded and said, “I want to find the Hollens Mining Company with the chip, or they are willing to pay a sum of money to buy the evidence.”

Reckett asked: “What do you want money for?”

Opal said: “Give Oman and let him settle everyone. If it doesn’t work, I will prepare another copy. Teacher, you see, there are two copies here.”

The silver dragon ray turned around and galloped towards the business district. Many mineral and commercial companies are headquartered on the Crimson Star, and Black Rock Wilderness and Horrance are no exception. When the night came, the dragon ray swept across the beacon track at a very high speed, like a red cloud chasing the setting sun, and gradually, it actually galloped into the evening time and space again.

Reckett stopped the car in the parking lot and said, “Then, first you have to figure out how to use the resources in your hands.”

Opal said, “Teacher, how did you do it?” He followed Reckett, looking into his eyes, with his palms swayed in front of him.

“You can’t do it,” Reckett snapped.

“I can do it.” Opal insisted.

“No.” Reckett said sternly: “Now I’m telling you very seriously, Opal, the power of faith, is definitely not used for you to steal people’s thoughts and hypnotize people who disagree with your own opinions. This way. Doing violates the creed of the Star Knight.”

Opal said: “But you just did that too.”

Reckett said: “I have no choice but to do it. I don’t want you to do this. If you rely too much on the power of faith, sooner or later you will ruin yourself.”

“Just think about it.” Reckett’s voice was heavy and serious, with a threatening meaning: “Once, twice, the enemy is hypnotized by the power of faith, and surrenders in front of you. If this continues, you will lose the courage to fight. Once you run into a strong-willed opponent, or even a special life form that is not affected by the power of belief, you will die humiliatingly under their hands.”

“The reason why I don’t teach you compulsory hypnotism and mind reading.” Recht said seriously: “Because I don’t want to see you become a waste without any will to fight. You must control your spiritual world and cannot rely on it. Get what you don’t deserve. The result of misusing your beliefs is that your beliefs gradually become worthless, and you end up in a world of perpetual darkness.”

Opal vaguely understood something, but he was very at a loss, but for him, every word of Reckett was already a dogma that no one could change. It was firmly engraved in his heart. He replied: “I will Do what you say, teacher.”

Reckett’s face was still very serious, and he nodded slowly.

Opal took a deep breath, took out the chip, thought about it for a moment, and said, “I’ll try it first.”

Reckett said: “Go.” He raised his hand and touched Opal’s head, and said, “I give you courage.”

The door opened, Opal ran out of the parking lot, walked on the flyover in the fiery red twilight, and walked towards the headquarters of Horens Company.
