The Star Knight

Zampdra star is the location of a research laboratory of the genetic company. Few people know about this planet. Betelgeuse collapsed 300 years ago. After the explosion, a large amount of matter was thrown out and cooled in the interstellar space. One of the small-mass debris was captured by a nearby planet. , and began to rotate around it at high speed.

This planet has no atmosphere, only millions of ground-based experimental sheds. They present a hemispherical vault, covering the habitable place suitable for human survival under the film of light, forming an independent natural ecological system.The space near Zampdra is full of neutrinos produced after the Betelgeuse explosion, cosmic rays play a vital role in the genetic modification process, and it is a natural research site.

And the nearest Starry Sky Gate is five days away from Zampdra, and there is only one space station outside.

"This is the private planet of the genetic medicine company." The space station sent a signal: "Show your identification, fill out the application, and wait outside the space station."

Opal scanned Refina's handwritten letter and showed the mercenary diary, saying, "I'm here to visit one of Ms. Refina's students, here is the ID number."

"The local area is 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 No. 16."

The space station allowed Era-VI to pass through, Opal heaved a sigh of relief, operated the spaceship to enter the light film, and landed on the small landing pad. 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?"

"It's nothing." Opal shook his head secretly, amused, and said, "I'm 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 available."

Opal said: "Oh forget it, I don't really believe that there are any specialties in this kind of place..."

He got off the spaceship with a smile. From the time Raymond was injured until now, the pressure between the two was gone. Opal knew that Raymond wanted to survive, and he was actively trying to survive. This made Opal feel that what he had done Everything has value, and the pressure is no longer borne by him alone.

"Sir! Do you need to clean the spaceship?" A group of little aliens stretched out their tentacles and greeted him: "As long as 25 credits, you can also help you clean up the internal garbage."

Opal said: "Okay, let's scrub it, thank you."

"Oh my God!" A green alien opened the rear hatch, moved his tentacles, and said, "Why is your spaceship so stinky, you don't want to bring all the stinky clouds on Koka with you!" coming……"

"Don't go inside!" Opal immediately closed the cabin door, locked it securely, and said, "Only clean the outside. I'll give you thirty credits, five points each, go."

Opal straightened his collar and went to take a ride. The roads, buildings and public facilities here all bear the logo of the genetic company ACU. There are not many people. The dome on the zenith is shining. The heart extracts energy, manufactures photomasks and promotes ecological environment balance.Inside each giant mask is an office building.

Opal asked the way, took the rail car to the office of the No. 16 administrative building of ACU, and handed in the 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 look for him. I need to consult him about some minor matters."

The clerk sniffled, looked at Opal's diary with a disgusted expression, and said, "Where is the entrustment record? You mercenaries can't afford to offend... I heard that you defeated Cororin?"

"Yes." Opal thought that Lie Xing's status should be improved among the members of the Star Alliance. If this is the case, it is indeed a good thing.

Opal passed the reception of the building smoothly and went to the 33rd floor. He walked through the corridor under the surveillance of the little robot with his coat on his arm. 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 was holding a glass of drink, and when he heard Opal's voice, he came out of the office on the right side of the corridor, glanced at him, and said, "Teacher, what's the matter going back to the company headquarters this morning?"

Opal glanced at the young researcher's badge, which said "He 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."

"The 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: "It's very complicated to study the effects of new genes on human body modification... You are a mercenary, no wonder."

"Why?" Opal asked.

He Sai said, "The smell on your body is like crawling out of a pile of dead people."

Opal put his arm in front of his nose and sniffed like a wolfhound, but he couldn't smell anything.

Opal looked up at the paintings on the wall and asked, "I'm here to ask Mr. York for help, and ask him to take a look at my sick friend."

"The teacher is no longer engaged in research." He Sai said: "He has forgotten many intellectual things and needs to undergo an operation on the brain. What happened to your friend? Why didn't you ask the hospital for help."

"I..." Opal said, "Do you know medical technology? It's about repairing his body. The radiation therapy device doesn't help him much, and he may need transplantation and...regeneration or something."

He Sai put the letter of introduction in the mercenary diary, returned it to Opal, and said: "Go and bring your friend to see, I have a laboratory, which may be able to grow the organ he needs, which part? Natural failure Or damaged?"

Opal caught a glimpse of the dawn and replied: "It is damaged, 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 yourself."

He Sai said, "Bring him here."

Opal said: "I can't bring it here, he's on my spaceship and can't move."

He Sai frowned suspiciously, and said, "Take two robots and send them over in a sterile isolation cabin?"

Opal said: "No, I want to show you first..."

He Racetrack: "'Looking' can't solve the problem, how much is his internal organ damaged?"

Opal: "Many...liver, spleen, stomach, small intestine, large intestine...limbs are damaged...come with me. I beg your help."

"He's still alive?" He Sai said in disbelief, "Why wasn't he sent to the hospital for such a serious injury?"

"The ray therapy device didn't work for him!" Opal said, "I tried it."

"The effect of the radiation therapy device is to stimulate cells to divide and regenerate themselves according to the genetic memory." He Sai said, "If the body develops spontaneous resistance, you can only perform simple operations on him, match the type, and transplant artificial organs..."

Opal asked, "What about the skin and muscles?"

He Saidao: "Same, he is disfigured?"

Opal: "But there is something else in his body, I don't know what it is, the structure is not the same as ours?"

"Alien humanoid life?" He Sai frowned, "Amino, nitro, or silicon-based structure?"

Opal: "I mean, the appearance is similar to that of a human, and there are many glowing... metal wires in the internal organs. He has been operated on before..."

The next moment, He Sai understood what was happening, and stretched out his hand to the edge of the table. Opal immediately realized that something was wrong, got up and pushed with his right hand, He Sai flew into the air and hit the wall.

"You...you..." Opal panted 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 to do?

He Sai's chest rose and fell slowly, and when he was about to cry out, Opal suddenly flexed his five fingers and grasped in the air. He Sai's throat was tightly strangled by the power of faith, and his pupils suddenly constricted.

"Come with me, to get medical treatment." Opal looked into his eyes and murmured.

He Sai's pupils were slightly distracted, Opal released the power of faith, and put him down, He Sai staggered a few steps, Opal repeated it again, and He Sai was hypnotized.

"Follow you." He Sai nodded.

Opal was a little at a loss and said, "Do you need to bring any equipment?"

He Sai's eyes were dazed and his face was dazed. Opal looked into his eyes again and said, "Take all your medical equipment."

He Sai nodded, walked to the desk like sleepwalking, pressed a button, and lifted a small metal box.

There are only so many?Opal thought, if He Sai had a private laboratory and was competent enough to perform the whole operation process of transplanting organs to Raymond, he could supervise him and bring Raymond to his laboratory.

Opal took the box and walked in front of He Sai, turning his head from time to time to make sure he didn't get out of his control.

He was too nervous, and it was the first time he had fully exercised mind control over a person, for fear that he would suddenly shout out or run away, but everything went well, and He Sai obediently followed him to the tarmac and into the Time-VI spaceship.

"Wake up." Opal withdrew the consciousness hypnosis, and He Sai was still standing there distraught.

Raymond said, "That's York? He looks young."

"He is York's apprentice." Opal operated the spaceship to lift off, left Zampdra Star, and was suspended on the periphery of gravity. He Sai regained consciousness and said, "Why... what is this place?"

Opal said: "This is my spaceship, treat him, you promised me."

He Sai regained his composure, Opal lifted the blanket, and there was a loud noise in an instant, and He Sai knocked over the whole chair when he stepped back, uttering a terrified cry.

"You...you actually, this is..." He Sai panted.

Lei Meng didn't speak, Opal stepped forward to help He Sai up, and whispered in his ear: "Cooperate, or I will kill you."

He Sai couldn't help panting, and slowly shook his head in disbelief.

Lei Meng 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 profusely and his face was pale. He said, "This is not something I can do. The direction of my research is human beings."

"He is a human being." Opal said, "If you don't like it, then goodbye, friend, I'm sorry."

"Don't!" He Saima said, "I'll try, let me try."

Ten minutes later, Jose examined Raymond, holding a light source and absently observing the wires in his body.

Opal warned: "Don't try to play tricks, do your best, 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, untied one of the knotted metal wires, and said, "Can I make a slice?"

"No." Opal said, "I don't know what use these are."

"Let him cut it." Raymond said.

Opal no longer persisted, and He Sai tried to cut the metal wire with a small knife. After 2 minutes of operation, he gave up.

"This is selko alloy." He Sai said: "The hardest substance in the universe can only be sampled with an atom collider, and it cannot be cut with a photon scalpel. This biological robot...in the body of your friend There's still acid left, and you need to clean him thoroughly, or the internal organs will continue to rot."

"What to clean?" Opal asked.

He Sai cut off a small piece of Raymond's muscle tissue, sucked out a little of the rotten black water, put it in an analyzer, and said, "The acid beast... I understand."

The analyzer projected a light screen, which showed many fluorescent green active cells. He Sai said: "The cells of the acid beast are parasitic in his body...is secreting strong acid and dividing and multiplying by itself."

The remaining acid beast remained in Raymond's body, corroding his internal organs and cells, and causing his muscles to rot rapidly. He Sai said: "Use my ID card to borrow a radiation therapy device to stimulate his body. The cells secrete alkaline body fluids to neutralize the acid in his body before he can be cleaned."

"I have." Opal said, "This way it won't rot?"

Opal took out the radiation therapy device, 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 data was arranged densely. Neither Opal nor Lei Meng could understand them, so they had to wait for him to operate.

"What are you doing?" Opal asked.

He Sai didn't speak, Opal tried to read his thoughts, and the fragments of He Sai's thoughts were all content he didn't understand.

After nearly 10 minutes of silence, He Sai said: "His body structure...this technology is very complicated..."

Opal keenly captured He Sai's thoughts, but the other party didn't know that his thinking activities had been fully seen under Opal's forcible reading.

He Sai was thinking about how to save his own life so that he would not be killed by Opal.

"Tell me the truth." Opal said, "As long as you do your best, I won't kill you."

He Sai said: "He...his genetic makeup is exactly the same as that of a human being, except for the epidermis and part of the blood, the rest of the organs, including the connective tissue, are all...the fertile swirl ring structure, he is truly immortal, The damaged ends will be replaced, but very slowly, 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 speak more simply?"

He Sai said: "His epidermis and a small part of his genes show that he is a normal human being. It is estimated that the manufacturer preset a human gene sample for him to avoid the inspection of genetic sampling. Although the sequence of other places is similar to ours The same, but the shape of the whole chain is very different, he will not die of old age naturally, after the body is damaged, it cannot be stimulated by radiation to speed up its own healing, and it can only wait for its metabolism at a very slow speed."

"Whether it's radiation or the photon repair of the gene company... can't change his current situation. It's impossible to transplant our human organs, and these energy lines... To be honest, he has two life modes, and the control center of one should be Something like a central processing unit...the other is the brain that is the same as ours. These two systems are interrelated and independent. I am completely blind to intelligent robot technology, so I can't help you, sorry."

After a long silence, Opal said, "How much does your teacher know about this?"

He Saidao: "He...knows nothing."

Opal narrowed his eyes, peeking into He Sai's thinking—doctor York really didn't study it, and He Sai was very frightened, his hands trembling slightly, for fear that Opal would kill him, let alone drag his mentor into the water.

Opal said: "Is there no one in your ACU who is good at this subject?"

He Saidao: "This is expressly prohibited...I don't think it is possible, and there will be no information available for inspection."

"So who do you think 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 body, the person who was genetically sampled, maybe you can fix him."

Opal pondered for a while, and said again: "What else? As far as you know."

He Sai said: "The milk of the mother of female dill has the effect of promoting the activity of all cells. This is a drug that will make people dependent, but it may be able to make him... the body heal, but these energy lines are very messy. I guess their function is to interfere with the X-ray scanning outside the body, avoid all metal detection, and regulate various systems in the body. I am afraid that even if you drink the milk of the mother of the female dill, the energy lines will not be able to restore the original order and integrate smoothly with the body .”

Opal hummed, and He Sai said again: "V838 Monoceros V[-] Variable Star Empire Starlight Vatican, Pope Drummond. The Vatican may keep some information about the dark age and the intelligent revolution."

The Pope... No matter how courageous Opal is, it is impossible for him to enter the Holy See alone and take the Pope to the spaceship to treat Raymond.But since Jose pointed out a way, there is hope.

He Sai added: "Also... I heard that in the ancient technology before the dark age, there was a solution called the sea of ​​time, which was full of intelligent units in the microcosm. They could use the genes of the cell itself and neutrinos to Fluctuating memory, to restore everything...whether it is organic or inorganic. But this is just a rumor..."

Opal vaguely remembered something.

After 3 minutes of silence, the question became: how to solve He Sai.

Make him swear not to tell?Hypnotize him?Opal didn't know what to do with the power of faith to make him forget all his memories, or make him commit suicide. Opal squinted his eyes, as long as he used a small trick to let him go up to a high place and jump off, everything would be over.

"Your relationship must be very deep." He Sai said, "Are you lovers? I heard that the relationship between mercenaries is quite special. After all, it's a friendship from birth to death."

Raymond said, "Well, you're single?"

He Sai nodded and said, "I've been doing research in Zampedra, and I haven't left here, nor have I had the chance to fall in love."

Opal directly reads He Sai's mind, and has not yet decided whether to let him live or let him die.

He Sai added: "Actually, I don't think there is much difference between humans and intelligent biological robots... I can understand your feelings. I was just scared just now... I didn't expect to see it all the time in laws and conventions. The thing... the living body, will appear in front of me like this. I am 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 oneself. He has left too many traces along the way. Once He Sai is killed, the interstellar police will immediately intervene and start to trace this matter, starting from Lie Xing, to Zhanwei V, and then to Lun Bo Lang...the consequences will be more serious.

He gave up the idea of ​​killing people to silence him, and said seriously: "You must swear that you will not mention today's incident to anyone."

He Sai said sincerely: "I swear."

At this moment, Opal cut into his thinking activities and read He Sai's thoughts - he didn't think about going back and reporting, he just hoped that he could leave alive.

"Let's go." Opal operated the spaceship to land again, and said, "Thank you. If you have any problems in the future, you can come to Lie Xing to find us. Of course, after he is cured."

He Sai was relieved, with sweat on his back, and left Times-VI.

Opal didn't dare to stay here for too long, and lifted off to leave the planet Zampdra.
