The Star Knight

Opal: "Teacher!"

He parked the car at the entrance of the canyon, stopped when he ran out, and stared dumbfounded at the scene in front of him.

E7 was still dragging the rope and following behind Opal, Opal's eyes were full of admiration and envy, he couldn't even believe what he saw.

An indomitable humanoid machine stood in the canyon, almost as high as the mountains, and its silver shell glistened under the sunlight.Just standing still gives people an indescribable sense of oppression.The streamlined silver alloy shell refracts gorgeous brilliance, like a huge warrior armor.

It is 50 meters high, holding a mirror-like shield in the left hand, and a 30-meter-long giant sword in the right hand. There is a strange gun barrel behind the arm. The armor boots on both feet seem to be movable. The joints on the knees are The elbows on the arms, the head...the fit is perfect.The eyes under the eyebrows were a magnificent indigo blue, like two sapphires in the snow.

There are two long metal wings on the back of its shoulders, like the thin wings of a sand bat. When they are folded in an instant, they make a metal friction sound and drag on the ground.

"What's this?" Opal said.

"My mount." Rector's casual voice came.

Opal said: "A mount?! Is this... a spaceship? Teacher? This is your spaceship?!"

Rector said: "As a knight, of course you should have armor and a mount. They are one."

Opal approached slowly, and Rector said again: "This is an ancient armor, and many people call it the ancient machine soldier. My name is Silver Dragon Ray."

Opal looked up, and the silver light was flowing on the mecha, it was like a huge statue of a god, which made people feel trembling unconsciously.

Opal asked: "I can understand silver, why is it called Long Ray?"

"You will know later, how is your business going?" Rector said.

The silver mecha moved, it bowed and stretched out a hand, Rector jumped up, raised his palm, Opal came back to his senses, and said, "I've got the chip."

Rickett said, "Yes, what are you going to do next? Transcribe a copy?"

Rector rose slowly, until above the mech's head, a round box flew out and landed in his hand.The light in the mech's eyes dimmed.

Opal said: "Where did you hide it before? I found enough energy."

"I wear it on my wrist all the time," Rector said.

Opal: "..."

Opal went to remove the battery and recharge it into the round box. Rector said: "It is enough, 20.00% can pass through the interstellar space and jump to a designated location."

Opal said: "Charge it all in, give it all, this is really... simply... Teacher, I don't know how to describe it."

"The masterpiece of the Creator." Rector smiled, took off the round box, and pushed gently with his palm, the heart of the universe spun and flew towards the forehead of the silver mecha, embedded in the energy pool.

Opal looked up and murmured: "Teacher, how do you control it?"

Rector said: "Consciousness, it is not an ordinary mecha. Special ancient mechas all have their own souls. There are many types of interstellar battle mechas, those controlled by brain waves, and those controlled by optical brain programs in the cabin. .”

Opal said: "Are there many mechs like this in the universe?"

Reckert said: "Some fighter jets are mass-produced, but the ancient armor of the ancient mechatronics is unique. According to current knowledge, there are no more than three in the universe."

Opal said: "Is it all in the hands of your Star Knights? How many Star Knights are there?"

Rector said indifferently: "A long time ago, there were three people, and now there are only two left."

Opal looked up at the machine soldier, and it also looked down at him. Opal could almost clearly feel that it was conscious.

Rechter said: "Their lives are even longer than humans, and they are the products left over from ancient civilizations before the appearance of humans. The imperial people believe that they are left behind by the true gods in the ancient universe after the big explosion, and some people believe that, They are true gods."

Opal asked, "How did you find it?"

Rector said: "Silver dragon ray, 1000 years ago, was unearthed from an ancient relic in the edge universe, a fault in space. The first person to drive it was another star knight. He was dead, but the stars The knight's beliefs and ancient armor are still passed down from generation to generation."

Opal asked: "Can I touch it? Will it be angry?"

Rector sneered: "Of course, you don't charge money, just touch it."

Opal touched it cautiously, the silver machine soldier bowed down, made a metallic sound, knelt down on one knee, and spread his huge palm in front of him.

Opal went up and stood on its palm.

The metal sheets on the soldier's chest were opened layer by layer, revealing a small space capsule.

Opal looked inside, thinking that if it wasn't for Rector, maybe he would never be able to touch it in his life, let alone control such a mech.He stared at it for a long time in awe, as if feeling its mood swings.

Rector said: "Dragon Ray is grateful for the energy you collected for him. A long time ago, when we landed in the desert, it saw you running away, thinking that you would sell it or take it for yourself, but you took it with you. What came back was the energy battery, and it was very moving. I think this is not an easy thing for you."

Opal smiled and said, "So it's your rescue capsule! I mean! It's so perfect, it's my honor to do something for it."

This is Opal's heartfelt emotion. Facing the silver machine soldier is like facing an omnipotent god.

Rector said: "Do you want a Taikoo machine soldier? Try walking in and operating it."

Opal immediately said: "No, no, I... have no such idea at all." His expression was a little sad again, no matter how hard he tried, it seemed that he would never be able to catch up with Rector's case, and he was so small that he was even more unworthy Owning a masterpiece of the Creator, just thinking about it makes me feel ashamed.

Recter rose slowly in the air, turned around and sat in the narrow operating cabin, and then the soldier pressed his backhand on his chest, and Opal screamed, and was also pushed in, bumping into Recter.

The operating cabin was closed, and the surroundings were plunged into long darkness.

Rector told him to turn around and spread his hands apart, like a magician who manipulated all the stars in the universe, all the darkness disappeared, and the ancient silver-white runes circled around them, and an endless plain and snow.

Opal said: "Teacher..."

Rector said: "Hold on firmly."

Opal grabbed it subconsciously, but he didn't know what to grab, and then the mecha bent down, its knees slightly bent, majestic flames erupted from its feet, Rector's body was pressed down, and the two of them were in this narrow space. The bodies in the space capsule were pressed together, and the silver machine soldiers rushed towards the universe of light.

"Teacher!" Opal shouted excitedly.

"Keep your voice down, the old man's ears are very fragile." Rector said with a smile, withdrew his left hand, pressed his right hand flat, and bright stars appeared in front of him, and then turned around in the space capsule, his consciousness seemed to be completely synchronized with the silver mech , Following that movement, the mech turned around, and in a short moment, it left the atmosphere of B11.

"This is just the combat mode of the silver dragon ray." Rector said: "All the ancient mechs have many modes. The rescue capsule you see is only a small part of its illusion. As long as it has enough energy, it can use Its own molecular memory characteristics can replicate any element in the universe, fuse with each other, and form the strongest alloy."

Opal said: "The ones who helped me repair the spaceship! Can they still replicate themselves?"

"Those alloys have no soul." Rector said softly: "Well, I don't think they can be copied anymore, but they are a part of Dragon Ray, maybe it can feel it."

Immediately after that, Recter leaned over again, the mecha turned up and down, Opal was driven by inertia, and the whole person lay in Recter's arms, Recter held him in his arms, his hands gently from his waist As soon as it was lifted, the mecha erupted with high-speed flames, passing through the dark universe for thousands of miles, and the stars were fleeting in front of it.

"Leave Chiyan Galaxy." Rector said: "Prepare for a space transition, count down, three, two, one."

"Ahhh——" Opal couldn't help shouting loudly, his body seemed to turn into a ray of light, and he plunged into the vast unknown territory in an instant, and then returned to his original state in an instant, in front of him was a red, blue, yellow triplet of galaxies, which appear in a triangular configuration, built on top of each other.It is like a triangle framed by three astrolabes.

"What is this place?!" Opal asked.

"The Leo Nebula 11 million light-years away from star B-900." Rector made a casual movement, raised his hand, and held it lightly with five fingers. An arc of light was drawn on the side of his body, disintegrating all the meteorites flying towards him.

Rector: "The realm of the empire."

Opal said: "But you didn't go through the Star Gate!"

Rechter said: "Dragon Ray has the ability to break through the space, and there is no need to find a teleportation point. Now many new spaceships have already had preliminary functions. Prepare to make a space jump again, counting down, three, two, one."

Opal turned into a ray of light again, appearing among hundreds of billions of stars. Recter passed Opal's ribs to hold him, and raised it towards the two of them. Opal rested on Recter's shoulder, and the machine A quickly stepped back, and the angle of view was getting farther and farther, showing the whole picture of the galaxy.

Opal said, "What kind of place is this?"

"The Starfield of the Republic." Rector said, "This place is called the Milky Way."

The starry silver disk is like a huge whirlpool, shining with silver light. It has two spiral arms, like a silver disk, facing the opal vertically.

Rector leaned over slightly, holding Opal with his left hand, and the mecha quietly turned ninety degrees in the air.

"It's beautiful." Opal murmured.

Rector didn't speak, and the two quietly admired the whole picture of the Milky Way.

Opal said, "How big is it?"

Rector said: "Fifty thousand light years, look there." He raised his hand, and the mecha stretched out its huge arm.

Rector clenched his fist with five fingers, reversed, and the gun barrel on the arm of the mech fired a cannon into the universe.

The star-like powder gathered into a beam of light, surrounded by a group of silver-white energy that flew into space like a comet, dragged out a shining trace, and threw it into the boundless depths of the universe.

"That location is the place where human beings originated." Rector said: "On one of its spiral arms, there is a star system called the solar system. There is only one star and eight planets in it."

"That was a long time ago." Opal said, "I remember that the chip you showed me mentioned ancient human history."

"Yes." Rector nodded and said: "Ancient humans called the time effect produced by light traveling 30 kilometers in a vacuum a second. 60 seconds is 1 minute, and then deduced to one hour, one day, one year. It takes 360 and five days for the parent star to revolve around its star, which has become a common reference standard in many galaxies, so the cosmic year is a fixed value, which corresponds to the earliest unit of length 'light-year'."

Opal asked: "Is it also the temperature scale of the universe?"

Rector said: "Almost all units are. As long as they are civilizations derived from the solar system, the measurement units and characters are almost unified. Prepare for space leap, three, two, one."

Opal saw the B-11 star again, the desolate planet showed a rusty iron color, and the mecha slowly descended into the atmosphere and returned to their original canyon.

The silver mecha decomposed into shiny metal pieces in the air and rotated rapidly. The metal pieces became smaller and smaller, fitting into each other and wrapping around Recter's wrist. Recter landed slowly with Opal in his arms and placed him on the snow. in the ground.

Opal's expression was very melancholy, his heart was filled with shock and confusion, he came back again, this planet is simply a drop in the ocean in the vast universe, when he looked up at the stars above his head, everything seemed so insignificant, so insignificant.

Recter didn't speak any more, and let Opal stand. He inspected the chip brought back by Opal against the sun, put it into the information transcriber, and a rotating stereoscopic projection appeared, and densely packed information tables spread out.

Rector looked at the stereoscopic projection with great interest, and said: "The head of the sub-department of the Black Rock Mining Company seems to be involved in smuggling, Opal, you may have caught a big fish for the Chiyan Galaxy."

"Ah! Yes!" Opal finally came back to his senses, ran to Rector, put his hands on his knees, bowed to read the materials with him, and asked, "Why do you say that?"

Rickett said: "The 3000 million energy units stored in the rhododendron were sold to Harley Fockett, a notorious interstellar pirate in the Magellan Nebula. Still doing business with him privately."

Opal said: "Can this be used as a bargaining chip?"

Rickett said, "Maybe."

Opal told Rector about their experience in detail, and finally said: "I plan to divide it into two parts, the first part is the information stored in the chip, and the second part is the mine disaster four years ago, the corpses of [-] miners Still buried in the ground, we have evidence."

Rector nodded slowly, Opal said: "I have to repair the spaceship right away, I hope it can be repaired."

Rector said: "You don't have much time at your disposal, Opal. If I were the person in charge of Black Rock Mining, I would send the spaceship over now to find out what's going on."

Opal frowned and said, "How much time do I have?"

Rector said: "It is far away from the nearest starry sky gate, and we cannot take shortcuts. From the crimson star to B11, after passing through the newly established starry sky gate, it will theoretically take five to seven days, and it will take a lot of time. energy."

Opal was startled, then thought carefully, and said, "I don't think so. They should be flying ordinary spaceships, and they are already on their way out. Otherwise, if they just break through the space and come here, wouldn't they already be here? But now Everything is fine."

Rickett said, "Indeed, you are very smart."

Opal said: "Then I still have at least five days, so I have to hurry up."

Rector said: "You forgot, when you passed through the Starfield Gate and arrived at Crimson Star, they had already arrived here, and there was enough time to destroy all the evidence."

Opal froze.

"Opal!" Oman's voice came from outside the canyon.

A minecart stopped at the entrance of the canyon, and Opal said, "Here I am!"

Rector got up, Anya and Aman ran out of the car, Opal said, "Where are Locke and them?"

Aman said: "Lock is in the village and is convincing everyone to find a place to hide first. We are afraid that the foremen will come back early after receiving the alarm here."

"Opal." Ugo got out of the car with his wife in his arms, and said, "I ask you one thing."

Opal said, "Is she better?"

Ugo stared at Opal with one of his eyes, and said sincerely: "She is better, but the injection of anti-inflammatory drugs can't make her completely better, and she still has a fever, I want you to take her to find a place on the scarlet planet Healing, as long as I can cure her, let me do anything for you."

Rector stepped forward, and everyone's eyes were on him.

"Heart and lung fever cough." Recht said: "This is caused by streptococcal bacteria carried on a comet. How can you get this disease?"

Opal said: "There is no time to explain..."

Rector said: "No need to explain, let me see, these are your friends?"

Opal nodded, and Aman said: "I have heard of you, you are Opal's teacher."

Anya was carrying a suitcase, and looked at Rector awkwardly. Opal was about to talk about his spaceship, but Rector said, "Let's go, let's go now, time is running out."

Opal said: "How to get there? Teacher, you..."

Rector said: "Thank you for everything you have done for me, Opal, it may be too difficult for you to handle the next thing, you have done a good job, now, please accept my help, I will Do my best for you."

Opal was silent, with tears in his eyes, Rector smiled and patted his head.

Rector's bracelet glowed with a dazzling silver light, turning into tens of thousands of metal fragments and surrounding them, covering the sky and the sun. The silver mecha changed dramatically, becoming a flat pterosaur covering an area of ​​nearly [-] square meters. Rays, like the flattened manta rays in the abyss, flap their silvery wings aloft and drag out their shiny long tails.

"Come up." Rector's voice sounded in the spaceship.

The circular transmission ladder fell, and Opal took Ugo's wife and said, "You stay here."

Ugo said: "Good luck, I leave it to you."

"We are saved." Oman looked up at the silver dragon ray, and murmured excitedly: "We are saved! Opal, I will leave everything to you."

Opal hugged Ugo's wife and boarded the dragon ray spaceship. Anya had tears in her eyes and hugged and bid farewell to Oman.

The interior of the spaceship is extremely spacious, enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people, without any navigation equipment, only an indigo blue crystal slowly rotating in the center.

The star map of the Chiyan galaxy is reflected on the crystal, and hundreds of planets revolve around the central star in an orderly manner.

"Crimson Star." Rector said indifferently: "After leaving the atmosphere, prepare for the space jump."

The crimson star in the star chart lit up, and the metal dragon ray skimmed out of the crimson rock bed, flew over the villages of the miners, and then turned into a beam of light, pierced through the atmosphere, and flew towards the red flame galaxy.
