The Star Knight

This is the canyon in the lowland ridge of the crimson rock bed. Opal watched the heavy snow that buried the rocks. Standing in the open space of the canyon, he used the power of faith to sweep away the snow.

The snow layer, which was harder than ice, shook and loosened, and a small piece was moved out, driven by Opal's spiritual power, it flew slowly through the sky and landed on the snow.

One piece at a time, the snow was cleared away, revealing a rust-colored bare rock bed, and a spaceship lay quietly on the ground.Its ejectors are filled with sand.

Opal said to Rector: "Teacher, can you help me make it up with your faith?"

Rector said: "Is this your mother's spaceship?"

Opal nodded, and Rector stared at a line of signs on the lower right side of the spaceship—on it was a group of flame imprints, numbered era VI703.

"The flame army of the empire." Rector said: "Small battleship No. 703."

Opal said: "Yes, she mentioned it! What does it mean? It has something to do with my life experience?"

Rector said: "20 years ago, the empire's warship army suffered a defeat, and its establishment was disbanded."

Opal asked: "Is my mother's hometown in the Lion Galaxy?"

Rector nodded and said, "Maybe, does she have an ID card?"

Opal shook his head and said: "I lost it. She said that when she made an emergency landing here, the spaceship broke down. There were only a few people on board. They lacked medical conditions. They all died. The miners on this planet are unable to help her. The merchants from Xinglai want money, and she doesn’t have enough money, so she wants to use the spaceship as collateral, but the merchants don’t want the spaceship.”

Rector asked: "At that time you were born?"

Opal shook his head blankly, he couldn't explain clearly.

Rector said: "Who is your father? Didn't she tell you?"

Opal shook his head.

Rector checked it once: "It's broken badly. The shell and atomic furnace are blown up, and there is no star map. You have to repair it first."

Opal said: "Yes, teacher, I'm sorry to trouble you, can you complete it?"

Rector sneered: "I mean, you complete it."

Opal said: "There are no replacement parts, you can use the power of faith to make some parts. I can't do it."

Rector said, "Then I can't do it either."

Opal said: "You can do it!"

Rector said: "So, you can do it too."

Opal: "..."

Rector stopped joking with him, and said seriously: "The power of faith is not like physical power. It is not restricted by any rules. As long as you believe that you can do it, it can exert its due effect."

Opal asked: "I can't do it, teacher, you promised me!"

Rector said: "This is your mother's relic, and your belief in her will definitely make it happen."

Opal said: "I really can't do it. I haven't even seen what the parts look like. What is the limit of the power of faith?"

Rechter said: "There is no limit. It is small enough to affect an atom, or stop light from traveling, and if you believe that you can do it, you can also use it to disintegrate a planet and move an entire galaxy."

Opal was dumbfounded, and Rector said again: "If you are firm enough, the power of faith can even destroy the entire universe."

Opal said: "You... Teacher, do you have such a strong ability?"

"I'm not that crazy, or rather, I don't believe I can do it," Rickett said.

Opal thought hard about the spaceship, and said, "But I've never seen those parts!"

Rector said: "I haven't seen it either, we are the same."

"No." Opal said: "Teacher, you must have seen it, please help me with this, I will practice hard in the future."

Rector put his hands behind his back and said casually: "Then meditate here until you understand it."

Opal said angrily: "Whoever said 'yes' just now, you didn't keep your word!"

Recter ignored him and turned to leave. Opal sat in the open snow and began to meditate like Recter.His spirit already has the ability to initially materialize, like many glowing roots that penetrate deeply into the ground.There is a huge red light in the depths of the ground, and there is a painful moan faintly.

Opal's heart trembled, he opened his eyes, and withdrew his mental power.

"Teacher!" Opal turned his head and said.

He found that there was a lot of metal around him, and the alloy skin was half a meter thick. He tried to knock a piece of metal and knew that it was used to repair the hull of the ship.

Rector has gone nowhere, what was that just now? !Is that the consciousness of star B11?Opal breathed slowly, calmed down, thought wildly in his mind for a moment, stared at the spaceship, and tried his best to move a piece of metal the size of a door panel, which was too heavy.

Opal tried to repair the broken hull with faith, even if it was to fly off the ground, it still felt very difficult, let alone how to weld it to the hull.

The piece of metal slid down with a loud clang.

Opal broke out in a sweat.

The spaceship crashed here for too long, 16 years, as old as opal, 16 years is enough to make the rocks of the mountain blend with it, the rain washes, the gravel brought by the strong wind, and the clay condensed after weathering It has been firmly corroded into a huge piece of scrap iron.

Opal pondered for a moment, and began to adopt other methods. He tried to use the big sword to clear away part of the surrounding soil, and observed where it was broken.After working on this job for a full day, Opal was so tired that he was sweating profusely. After grabbing some snow to eat, he lay down on the open ground and planned to rest for a while.

After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, he was awakened by the sound of metal rubbing. Opal opened his eyes, staggered up and backed away, subconsciously searching for the source of the sound.

The dilapidated and almost decayed small battleship was suspended in mid-air. Its suspension formed a huge black shadow. Thousands of pieces of metal shone with silver light, flying towards the battleship like snowflakes, covering the rusty shell of the battleship.

Every piece of metal is pasted on and integrated with the hull.

And there is a person standing on the top of the cliff——Recter.

He held the big sword in his right hand, and pressed his left hand in vain, saying, "Obo, you can't do it because in your subconscious mind, you never believe that you can do it."

Opal breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, teacher."

Rector said: "You're welcome." After saying that, he withdrew his hand and turned to leave.

At that moment, the small battleship straddling the zenith lost the support of the power of faith, and fell from a height of nearly ten meters!

Opal yelled loudly, "Teacher—!"

Opal didn't care to look at Rector again, rushed to the center of the canyon, pushed his hands above his head, and shouted: "Stop for me—! No! Don't do this!"

The speed of the falling warship gradually slowed down, and then hovered obliquely at a height of one meter above the ground.

Opal: "..."

His pupils constricted violently, his mind went blank, and all distracting thoughts were expelled from his mind. He was trembling all over, and he put it down slowly. There was a loud bang, and the surrounding snow was flying under the shock wave of the heavy object.

Opal gasped convulsively, his back was covered in cold sweat, his whole body was as wet as if he had been fished out of water, and he slowly shook his head in disbelief.

"So, you see, you can do it." Rector sat on another rock with his knees hugged, and said thoughtfully.

Opal's eyes were empty, and he nodded slowly. Rector smiled and said, "This is the power of belief, as long as you believe in yourself."

The winter night was getting warmer, and they had almost cleared the earth-boring worms in the cave. Opal went to move all the supplies back to the ground, and opened the shell of the battleship, which was already broken in a mess.

The atomic furnace was damaged, the flank engine was blown up, and a new jet engine was needed.

Several parts of the navigation system were lost at the moment of hitting the mountain, and the star map could not be found.

"What do you want to use it for?" Rector stood aside and watched Opal busy.

Opal collected all the usable parts and put them on the snow to observe their appearance, intending to disassemble them for a look, but was afraid that they would not be able to put them back together.

He said: "I want to make some parts and fix it. Teacher, you don't keep your word! You violate the code of the Star Knight."

Rector smiled and said, "Which rule did I violate? You just asked me to help you fix the spaceship, but you didn't ask me to fix it for you."

Opal was speechless for a while, still thinking about this matter, and said: "You also lied to the merchant who sold dark energy batteries..."

Rector said: "That's because you lied to him, but I didn't lie to him."

Opal: "..."

Opal muttered something dissatisfied, and it was very interesting for Rector to watch.He packed up all the parts, came to sit in front of Rector, and said, "Teacher, what are you learning today?"

"There is nothing to learn." Rector said casually: "The teacher has nothing to teach you anymore."

Opal said: "No... no way, you know so much."

Rector smiled gently and said, "There are many things that you need to get out of here to understand personally. Those are things that I cannot teach you."

Opal nodded, and said: "I... go to find energy for you, and I have to find some parts myself, thank you, teacher... don't rush away, I... don't want to leave you."

Rector glanced at the box in his hand and said, "There is still a lack of [-] points of energy. We still have a lot of time, so don't worry. I know you have a plan of your own."

The current Opal is completely different from the Opal one year ago. He is no longer a simple miner. When he thinks of the 500-odd days ago when he was digging rhododendron in the dark mine, it seems like a dead man. It's like a walking dead.

But now, he really has his own soul, his own life.

When he left the canyon, he suddenly thought of one thing: with Recter's ability, he could definitely grab a lot of energy, why didn't he do it?

"Teacher." Opal said at the entrance of the canyon, "Actually, you can leave here without my help, right?"

Rector said: "No, there are many things I can't do. My belief is not strong enough to repair my spaceship, and I can't create energy out of thin air and convert it into matter. The alloy I just showed you, It was created after activating the mass-energy transformation of my spaceship."

"Also, I think it is necessary to teach a student like you."

Opal stood there in a daze, his heart filled with gratitude, he waved to Rector, turned around and ran out of the canyon.

Opal was walking on the snowy plain with a big sword on his back, the snow was drifting up again, and the crimson rock bed was covered with snowflakes. He was no longer afraid of the cold, let alone those troubled miners, energy points, unknown future and tomorrow.

He began to seriously think about a plan, how to take everyone away, everyone is born equal, should have the opportunity to choose, no one should be a slave to anyone, just as Rector taught him Something about capital.

The people on B11 are the slaves of Star Capital. They have no choice but to do what they have to do in order to survive. Without the whip, blood, wounds, material oppression is more irresistible than the whip.They have created hundreds of billions of energy wealth on this planet, but in the end they are inferior to robots.

To get 11 miners to leave B11, it is necessary to seek the support and participation of interstellar forces. Riot is the most direct way, but it is also the least effective. After Anya, Locke and Opal leave B[-], they need identification to be able to enter the B[-]. Find jobs elsewhere in the galaxy.

They also need a pass, a spaceship to carry all the miners.

And these cannot be achieved by their own strength. First, they must collect the evidence that the Black Rock Mining Company has enslaved workers on this mineral planet for 100 years, and then hand it over to the administrative planet.

There are interstellar police there, and you can apply for assistance after filing a case.

This requires comprehensive witness and physical evidence, first to collect video - including the large-scale mine disaster that killed tens of thousands of people four years ago.

Next is the list of work points-the above is the transaction between the merchants and the miners, which can effectively explain many things. The workers have no other choice but to use their hard-earned money to exchange high prices for cheap things.

According to the information he learned from the chip, this was abolished in the labor law passed by the Interstellar United Civil Service more than 1000 years ago.The boss of Black Rock Mining is enough to go to jail for this matter, and at worst, he will lose some of his mineral planets.

When Opal was thinking, he suddenly felt a sense of crisis. He jumped back in an instant, drew out the big sword behind his back, and faced the vast plain, the powerful aura kept approaching under the snow, getting closer... ten meters, five meters.

A huge sand bat jumped out of the ground!

Snowflakes rolled all over the sky, and Opal swung his big sword to avoid the whip that it swept across.

The sand bat roared head-on, and Opal's great sword collided with a loud bang, and the blade made a sharp and piercing shock, and Opal rolled on the ground. His eyes glowed red.

It's a sand bat king!

Opal reacted, but he was no longer at the level of fighting with ordinary sand bats. The sand bat king dived into the ground, and when Opal flew out again, Opal pushed decisively with his palm. There was a loud noise, and a small part of the mountain collapsed. Press it down.

"Drink—!" His voice echoed on the snowy field. The speed of the Sand Bat King was faster than that of ordinary sand bats, coming and going without a shadow or wind, but Opal did not fight it head-on, and his figure seemed to be criss-crossing on the snow. A black arrow coming and going, every time Sand Bat King's pliers bit his head, Opal was able to dodge it at the nick of time.

After swimming and fighting for nearly an hour, Sand Bat King tried his best but got no results. It was tired faster than Opal, and his eyes turned from red to deep purple.

Here's your chance!Opal finally got a glimpse of the flaw in its action, swung the big sword with his backhand, and swiped it cleanly, cutting off its long tail!

The Sand Bat King convulsed in pain on the snow, spilling fluorescent blood. His flat triangular wings flapped repeatedly against the ground, burrowing and flapping towards the ground.

Opal held its tail needle in one hand, and grabbed its broken tail with the other hand, shouted and pulled it out of the ground.

There were rustling sounds, and the sounds under the snow came and went one after another, as if tens of thousands of sand bats surrounded him.

The Sand Bat King stopped struggling, and lay quietly on the ground with his eyes closed. He didn't know if it was blood or tears, a wisp of red liquid slid down its thorny skin.

For some reason, Opal subconsciously let go of its severed tail, and the great sword flew up from his back, spinning around him, creating an arc.

With his current strength, he could completely kill all the sand bats within a hundred miles, but he didn't do anything, just stood quietly in front of the body of the sand bat king.

Don't kill senselessly... He finally understood what Rector said a long time ago.

Opal put away his weapon and said, "I'm leaving, don't come again."

He took the sand bat king's poison bag back a few steps, then turned and left. Countless sand bats emerged from the ground, pulling their leader back into the dark underground space.

Opal walked towards his village, his mind filled with thoughts he had never had before.The chip that Rector gave him filled the gaps in his knowledge. He knew that the origin of all things was microbes, and microbes survived by exchanging organic matters with the outside world.

When it evolved into a cell, it began to engulf other microorganisms to strengthen itself in order to live longer.After evolving into intelligent creatures, the universe is full of endless killings and battles... Rector said that one must be in awe when hunting, perhaps this is one of the tenets of Star Knight: be humble, always respect your opponent, no matter what Victory, or defeat.

Opal stopped at the door of the house, the door was full of snow, and the winch was frozen.

The winch loosened as he watched, the ice shattered, and the stone door shook, loosened, and opened with the force of faith.

Opal returned home and turned on the little robot E7. This little friend hadn't come back for a long time. At this moment, Didi's eyes glowed and began to scan the surrounding energy.

"E7, follow me." Opal said.

He pushed away the stone slab under the bed, revealing a tunnel leading to the cellar, and then walked down.

At the end is a spacious space, tunnels in all directions lead to a public lounge, the smell of alcohol, men's sweat mixed together, the smell of bacon, and the inferior perfume from the Red Flame galaxy fills every inch of the space.Loud talking, laughing and shouting came, some miners were playing musical instruments in the corner, and several people were drinking for fun.

"Opal!" Locke said loudly, "You're back!"

Opal pulled the hood back with one hand and said with a smile, "I'm back."

Many people stared at Opal as if they didn't know each other. Locke said, "You feel different than before."

Opal said: "Am I okay? No, I mean, are you okay?"

He noticed that there was a lot of wine bought at a high price from merchants stored here. It is expected that a miner with a business mind bought the wine and sold it to these winter companions at a higher price.

"Where's Oman?" Opal asked.

"Aman is in the cellar of his house." Locke replied, "What is this in your hand? God... this is the tail of a sand bat! How did you get it!"

Many people gathered around, Opal said: "Be careful, there are poison sacs inside, this sand bat is very poisonous."

There were clicks of clicks, and some people looked at the big sword on his back. Opal gave them to watch casually, and said to Locke, "Take me to Aman, I have something to talk to him about."

Locke said, "Why do you feel different from before?"

"Is there?" Opal was a little confused, and said, "I have always been me."

Locke held the lamp and led Opal through the long corridor, and there was a dark room at the end. Locke asked, "What are you doing with Oman?"

Opal said: "Let's talk privately, I need your help."
