The Star Knight - 52. Chapter Fifty-Two
Zampdela is the location of a research room of the Gene Corporation. Few people know about this planet. Betelgeuse collapsed three hundred years ago, and a large amount of matter was thrown out after the explosion to cool down between the stars. Among them, a small mass of debris was destroyed by a nearby planet. Capture and start spinning around it at high speed.
There is no atmosphere on this planet. There are only millions of ground experimental sheds. They present a hemispherical dome, shrouding living areas suitable for human existence under a light film, forming an independent natural ecosystem. The space near Zampudra is full of neutrinos produced after the explosion of Betelgeuse. Cosmic rays play a vital role in the process of genetic modification. It is a natural research site.
The nearest Star Gate is five days away from Zampudra, and there is only one space station outside.
“This is the private planet of Gene Medical Corporation.” The space station sent a signal: “Show your ID, fill in the application, and wait outside the space station.”
Opal scanned Refina’s handwritten letter and showed the mercenary diary, saying: “I am visiting a student of Ms. Refina. Here is the ID number.”
“The local area belongs to a private planet and is subject to the laws of the Republic. Please always pay attention to your words and deeds. The person you are looking for is in Laboratory 16.”
The space station allowed the passage of Times-VI. Opal breathed a sigh of relief. He manipulated the spacecraft into the light film and landed on the small tarmac. He put the blanket on Raymond’s body and said, “I’ll be back soon.”
“You have to be careful.” Raymond said: “Don’t trust people too much, I’m afraid they will report to the Star Alliance.”
Opal laughed.
Raymond looked at Opal with his one eye, and asked blankly: “What are you laughing at?”
“Nothing.” Opal secretly shook his head funny, and said: “It’s not laughing at you.”
Raymond: “I know, you look good when you smile.”
Opal said: “I’m going, waiting for my good news.”
Raymond said: “You can also see what special products are there.”
Opal said: “Oh forget it, I don’t really believe that there will be any specialties in this kind of place…”
He got off the spaceship with a smile. From the time when Raymond was injured until now, the pressure between the two was gone. Opal knew that Raymond wanted to survive, and he was actively surviving, which made Opal feel what he was doing. Everything has value, and the pressure is no longer borne by him alone.
“Sir! Do you need to wipe the spaceship?” A group of little aliens stretched out their tentacles and greeted him: “As long as 25 credits, I can also help you clean up the internal garbage.”
Opal said: “Okay, scrub it, thank you.”
“Oh my God!” A green alien opened the rear hatch, moved his tentacles, and said, “Why is your spacecraft so stinky? Would you take all the stinky clouds on Koca? coming……”
“Don’t go inside!” Opal immediately closed the hatch, locked it with a safety lock, and said, “Just wipe the outside. I’ll give you 30 credits, five o’clock each, go.”
Opal tidied his collar and went for a ride. The roads, buildings and public facilities here all carry the ACU logo of the gene company. There are not many people, the dome of the zenith is shining, and the energy tower is from the land of Zampudra. The heart extracts energy, manufactures photomasks and promotes the balance of the ecological environment. There is an office building in each giant mask.
Opal asked for the road, took the rail car to the office of ACU’s No. 16 Administration Building, and submitted a letter of introduction and his mercenary diary. The clerk said: “Mercenary.”
“Mercenary.” Opal said: “Is Mr. York here? His teacher entrusted me to come and find him. I need to consult him for some minor matters.”
The clerk sniffed his nose with a disgusting expression on his face. He casually looked at Opal’s diary and said, “Where is the commission? You mercenaries can’t afford to offend… I heard that you defeated Cololin?”
“Yes.” Opal thought that the status of Liexing should be improved among the member states of the Star Alliance. If this is the case, it is indeed a good thing.
Opal successfully passed the reception area of the building and headed to the 33rd floor. He took his jacket and walked through the corridor under the supervision of the little robot. The office door at the end was locked. He pressed the call button and waited for a long time for no one to answer.
A young man with a glass of drink, heard the voice of Opal, came out of the office on the right side of the corridor, glanced at him, and said, “The teacher is back to the company headquarters this morning, what’s the matter?”
Opal glanced at the young researcher’s badge, which read “Ho Sai”.
He bowed politely and said, “When will Mr. York come back?”
“It may be a few days, or it may be dozens of days.” He Sai said: “Where did you come from? Come in and sit down.”
“Battlefield.” Opal followed He Sai into his office. He looked around and said, “What is your research direction.”
He Sai glanced at Opal’s letter of introduction, and said casually: “Research on the effects of new genes on the transformation of the human body is very complicated to say… You are a mercenary, no wonder.”
“No wonder?” Opal asked.
He Sai said: “The smell on your body is like crawling out of the dead.”
Opal put his arm in front of his nose and sniffed like a wolf dog, unable to smell.
Opal looked up at the painting on the wall and asked, “I’m here to ask Mr. York for help. Ask him to take a look at my sick friend.”
“The teacher is not engaged in research now.” He Sai said: “He has forgotten a lot of knowledge and needs to undergo an operation on the brain. What’s wrong with your friend? Why not ask the hospital for help.”
“I…” Opal said: “Do you know medical skills? It’s about repairing his body. Radiotherapy does not do much to him. It may need transplantation and…regeneration.”
He Sai put the letter of introduction in the diary of the mercenary and returned it to Opal, saying: “Go and bring your friends to see. I have a laboratory. Maybe I can grow the organs he needs. Which part? Natural failure. Or is it damaged?”
Opal saw a glimmer of light and replied: “Damage, can it be repaired? His situation is very special. I don’t know how to describe it. I can only ask you to see it in person.”
He Sai said, “Bring him here.”
Opal said: “I can’t bring it here, he is on my spaceship, unable to move.”
He Sai frowned suspiciously and said, “Take two robots and send them in a sterile isolation chamber?”
Opal said: “No, I want you to see first…”
He Saidao: “‘Look’ can’t solve the problem, how much damage is his internal organs?”
Opal: “A lot…Liver, spleen, stomach, small intestine, large intestine… Limbs are injured… Come with me. I beg for your help.”
“Is he still alive?” He Sai said in disbelief, “Why didn’t he go to the hospital with such a serious injury?”
“The radiotherapy apparatus is of no use to him!” Opal said: “I tried it.”
“The effect of the radiotherapy apparatus is to stimulate cells to divide and regenerate themselves based on genetic memory.” He Sai said: “If the body has spontaneous resistance, you can only give him simple surgery, matching, and transplantation of artificial organs…”
Opal said: “What about the skin and muscles?”
He track: “Same, he disfigured?”
Opal: “But there are other things in his body. I don’t know what it is. The structure is different from that of our human beings?”
“Alien human life?” He Sai frowned: “Amino group, nitro group, or silicon-based structure?”
Opal: “I mean, the appearance is similar to human beings, there are a lot of luminous…metal wires in the internal organs, he used to pass surgery…”
The next moment, He Sai understood something, and reached out to the edge of the table, Opal immediately found that something was wrong, got up and pushed with his right hand, He Sai flew up in the sky and hit the wall.
“You…you…” Opal gasped nervously, knowing that He Sai had guessed it!
He tried his best to read He Sai’s thinking and read a shocking message-intelligent life robot.
Oops, what should I do?
He Sai’s chest rose and fell slowly, and when he was about to call out, Opal suddenly flexed his five fingers and grabbed it. He Sai’s throat was held tightly by the force of faith, and his pupils suddenly tightened.
“Follow me and get medical treatment.” Opal murmured, staring into his eyes.
He Sai’s pupils were slightly lost, Opal relieved his faith and put him down, He Sai staggered a few steps, Opal repeated it again, He Sai was hypnotized.
“Follow you.” He Sai nodded.
Opal was a little at a loss and said, “Do you need any equipment?”
He Sai’s eyes were lost and his face was blank. Opal looked into his eyes again and said, “Bring all your medical equipment.”
He Sai nodded, walked to the desk like sleepwalking, pressed the button, and lifted a small metal box.
Only so much? Opal thought to himself that if He Sai has a private laboratory and is competent enough for the entire surgical process of transplanting organs to Raymond, he can supervise him and bring Raymond to his laboratory.
Opal took the box and walked in front of He Sai, turning back from time to time to make sure he was not out of his control.
He was too nervous. For the first time he exercised full mind control over a person, for fear that he suddenly shouted out or escaped. However, everything went well. He Sai obediently followed him to the apron and entered the era-VI spaceship.
“Wake up.” Opal withdrew his consciousness hypnotism, and He Sai stood still unconscious.
Raymond said: “He is York? He looks very young.”
“He is York’s apprentice.” Opal operated the spacecraft to lift off, left Zampudra, and hovered in the outer periphery of gravity. He Sai became a little more sober and said, “Why am I…what is this place?”
Opal said: “This is my spaceship. I’ll see a doctor. You promised me.”
He Sai settled, Opal uncovered the blanket, and there was a loud noise in an instant. When He Sai retreated, he knocked over the entire chair and screamed in fear.
“You…you unexpectedly, this is…” He Sai gasped.
Raymond did not speak, Opal stepped forward to help He Sai, and whispered in his ear: “Cooperate, or I will kill you.”
He Sai couldn’t help panting, shaking his head slowly in disbelief.
Raymond looked at He Sai and then at Opal, with a trace of sadness in his eyes.
Opal said: “Give him treatment and I will repay you.”
“I, I, I… you will be sentenced to death.” He Sai was sweating, and his face was pale. He said, “This is not something I can do. The direction of my research is human beings.”
“He is human.” Opal said: “If you don’t like it, then goodbye, friend, I’m sorry.”
“Don’t!” He Sai immediately said: “I will try, let me try.”
Ten minutes later, He Sai checked Raymond. He held the light source and absently observed the metal wire in his body.
Opal warned: “Don’t want to play any tricks, do your best, no matter whether you can cure him or not, I will let you go. Otherwise, I will kill you.”
He Sai’s mood calmed down, he nodded, straightened out a knotted wire, and said, “Can I make a slice?”
“No.” Opal said: “I don’t know what’s the use of these.”
“Let him cut.” Raymond said.
Opal no longer insisted, He Sai tried to cut the metal wire with a knife, and after a two-minute operation, he gave up.
“This is Selk alloy.” He Sai said: “The hardest matter in the universe can only be sampled with an atomic collider, and a photon scalpel can’t be cut off. This biological robot…in your friend’s body There is still acid remaining, you need to clean him thoroughly, otherwise the internal organs will continue to rot.”
“What to use for cleaning?” Opal asked.
He Sai cut off a small piece of Lehman’s muscle tissue, and sucked out a little bit of the rotting black water, put it in an analyzer, and said, “The acid beast…I understand.”
The analyzer projected a light screen with many fluorescent green active cells. He Sai said: “The cells of the acid beast are parasitic in his body… are secreting strong acid and are dividing and multiplying by themselves.”
The remaining acid beast stayed in Raymond’s body, corroding his internal organs and cells, and causing his muscles to rot quickly. He Sai said: “You use my ID card to borrow a radiotherapy device to stimulate his The cells secrete alkaline □□, which neutralizes the acid in his body to clean it.”
“I have.” Opal said: “So it won’t rot?”
Opal took out the radiotherapy apparatus, adjusted the function, and shrouded Raymond in blue light. He Sai put Raymond’s muscle slices into the analyzer, and the screen began to analyze his gene sequence, showing a circle Type of gene chain.
He Sai pressed a few points on the light screen, and the densely packed data were arranged. Neither Opal nor Raymond could understand them, so he had to wait for him to operate.
“What are you doing?” Opal asked.
He Sai did not speak, Opal tried to read his thinking, and the fragments of He Sai’s thinking were all content that he did not understand.
After a silence of nearly twenty minutes, He Sai said: “His body structure…this technique is very complicated…”
Opal keenly caught He Sai’s thoughts, and the other party did not know that his thinking activities had been unobstructed under the forced reading of Opal.
Jose is thinking about how to save his life so that he will not be killed by Opal.
“To tell the truth.” Opal said: “As long as you try your best, I won’t kill you.”
He Sai said: “He… his genetic makeup is exactly the same as that of human beings. Except for the epidermis and part of the blood, the rest of the place including the internal organs, the connective tissue genes are all… the whirlpool ring structure of Ferta. He is truly immortal. There will be new replacements after the peripheral damage, but it is very slow, and the cell division will never stop…My God…but…our technology can’t make an organ that can be transplanted for him.”
Opal said: “I don’t understand, can you make it simple?”
He Sai said: “His epidermis and a small amount of genes show that he is a normal human. It is estimated that the manufacturer has preset human genetic samples for him to hide from the inspection during genetic sampling. Although the sequence of other places is similar to ours. The same, but the whole chain presents a very different form. He will not naturally age and die. After the body is injured, it cannot be stimulated by radiation to accelerate its self-healing. It can only wait for it to metabolize at a very slow rate.”
“Neither the ray nor the photon repair of the gene company…can change his status quo. It is also impossible to transplant our human organs, and these energy lines… To be honest, he has two sets of life models, and one set of control centers should be Something like a central processing unit…The other is the same brain as ours. The two systems are connected to each other and independent of each other. I am completely blind to intelligent robot technology and cannot help you. I’m sorry.”
After a long period of silence, Opal said: “How much does your teacher know about this?”
He Saidao: “He even… knows nothing.”
Opal squinted his eyes and spied on He Sai’s thinking-Doctor York did not study it either. He Sai was very scared, and his hands trembled slightly, for fear that Opal would kill him, let alone drag his mentor into the water.
Opal said: “Isn’t one of your ACUs good at this subject?”
He Saidao: “This is expressly forbidden… I think it is unlikely, and there will be no information available for inspection.”
“Then you think, who would know this?” Opal asked.
“Who is his maker?” He Saidao: “I don’t want to know… But if you know his maker, or his father, the person who was genetically sampled, you might be able to fix him.”
Opal groaned and said, “What else? As far as you know.”
He Sai said: “The milk of the mother of radish has the effect of promoting the activity of all cells. This is a drug that can cause dependence, but maybe it can make him…the body heals, but these energy lines are messy. I guess their role is to interfere with the use of external ray scanning, to avoid all metal surveys, and to regulate various systems in the body. I am afraid that even if you drink the milk of the mother’s mother, the energy lines will not be restored to the original order and smoothly integrated with the body. .”
Opal snorted, and He Sai said again: “V838 Monocerotis Empire Starlight Vatican, Pope Drummond. The Vatican may retain some information about the Dark Age and the Intelligent Revolution.”
Pope… No matter how courage the Opal is, it is impossible to single-handedly enter the Holy See and take the Pope to the spacecraft to treat Raymond. But since He Sai pointed out a way, there was hope.
He Sai also said: “Also… I heard that in the pre-dark age ancient technology, there was a solution called the sea of time, which was filled with microscopic intelligence units, which could use the genes of the cell itself and neutrinos. The memory of volatility, to restore everything…whether it is organic or inorganic. But this is just a rumor…”
Opal vaguely remembered something.
After three minutes of silence, the question became: how to solve He Sai.
Make him swear not to speak out? Hypnotize him? Opal didn’t know what the power of faith had to do to make him forget all his memories, or let him commit suicide. Opal squinted his eyes. As long as he used a small means to get him to a high place and jump down, everything was over.
“Your relationship must be deep.” He Sai said, “Is it a lover? I heard that the relationship between mercenaries is special. After all, it is a friendship from birth to death.”
Raymond said: “Right, you are single?”
He Sai nodded and said: “I have been doing research in Zampdela, and I haven’t left here, and there is no chance to fall in love.”
Opal read He Sai’s thinking directly, and has not yet decided whether to let him live or let him die.
He Sai added: “In fact, I think there is not much difference between humans and intelligent biological robots… I can understand your feelings. I was just shocked just now… I didn’t expect to see it all the time in laws and conventions. Things… life forms will appear in front of me like this. I’m sorry for your offense.”
Opal realized that he had almost fallen into the dark world. He was really desperate, and his mentality became cruel and ruthless. What’s the use of killing He Sai? These difficulties need to be borne by himself. He has left too many traces along the way. Once He Sai is killed, the interstellar police will immediately intervene and begin to investigate the matter, starting from the Lie Star, to the five guards, and then to Rembo. Lang… the consequences will be more serious.
He dispelled the thought of killing people and said seriously: “You must swear not to mention today’s matter to anyone.”
He Sai said sincerely: “I swear.”
At this moment, Opal cut into his thinking activities and read He Sai’s idea-he didn’t want to go back and report it, only wishing he could leave alive.
“Let’s go.” Opal operated the spacecraft again and said, “Thank you, if you have any problems in the future, you can come to Liexing to find us, of course, after he is cured.”
He Sairu relieved his burden, with sweat on his back, leaving the era-VI.
Opal did not dare to stay here for too long and lifted off from the planet Zampudra.
