The Star Knight

The lava star is covered with monstrous fire, a river formed by sulfur and magma flowing between the rocks, the real fire phoenix shuttles in the fire and sends a communication to the dragon rays, Opal has been thinking about the moment just now-white light seems to be a certain Is this kind of fluctuation an explosion of the power of faith?

It was a precursor to some kind of ability to jump to the energy level, but who would be the power of faith besides him and Rector?

It is impossible for Caroline to be with the Empire, Ledgerson?

It may be Ledgerson, besides them, there is Jasmine, the pastor, and the pastor is even more impossible.

Xun is also counted as one, if he can gain the power of faith.

Blue light flashed in the sea of ​​fire, found!

The red mech landed in the magma, Opal said: "Teacher?"

Rector's voice came to my mind: [It's not a hindrance, just a little injury.

Opal saw the dragon rays turned into the first time they met, an egg-shaped metal cabin, Rector soaked in the sea of ​​time.

Opal took the metal cabin away from the magma sea and reached a high place. He looked around, and Rector’s voice said: [This time the injury is not serious. After leaving the nutrition cabin two hours later, it can be fully recovered within twelve hours. .

[The dragon ray is almost exhausted.] Opal said: [Raymond forgot to recharge it, I will give you the energy of Phoenix.

Opal tried to connect Phoenix and Dragon Ray's energy pipeline, but Rector refused.

Rector: [Keep your own energy, add it after entering the Lava Star.

This is an endless flame world, just like the spiritual realm of Caroline. There are volcanoes and magma erupting all the time. Opal felt his eyes hurt after watching it for a long time. Phoenix turned the transparent window into green.

"Thank you." Opal said, "Where are the lava people?"

"You're welcome," Phoenix said. "Try the diffusive ability of conscious waves you learned from Rector."

"Meditate?" Opal said: "I think you are talking about meditation."

He closed his eyes and began to meditate.

The scan settings are turned on in the mech, and the infrared ground thumbnails are unobstructed. There is a giant mechanical device at the eruption of the volcano.

"I can assist you to perceive and record everything that happened within five light years around you." Phoenix said: "As long as you use conscious waves in my body."

Opal's heart is too strong. Phoenix is ​​a force booster of faith. He flew to the crater and saw it was a huge gate made of Selk alloy.

There is a line of ancient human text on it: Flame Furnace.

Opal looked around. The faint light was on the door. In fact, in this high-temperature environment, the indicator light was not clear at all, but Phoenix received the communication.

"Please indicate your intentions." There is synthesized electronic sound in the communication channel.

Opal thought briefly, saying, "Phoenix. How much do you know about this creature?"

"Grey creatures." Phoenix said: "It has also originated in another parallel universe. They belong to another branch of the phantom star. They are very different from your carbon-based life. I think if you explain it, they will have The ability to judge."

Opal sent a message from Inni's special envoy, and a moment later the electronic voice in the back door said: "Please come in."

The door slammed open, and inside was a reddish world, which was all magma.

In other words, to enter the gray country, you have to sink into this magma river.

For a moment, Opal dared not go in alone, turned around and flew to find Rector. The red pilot stretched his hand to lift the dragon rays, pressed it against his chest, and merged with the dragon rays.

Be careful.] Rector reminded.

As soon as the dragon rays entered Phoenix's body, Opal immediately felt a heat wave coming, but unlike the black iron alloy coffin he was trapped in the gluttony, the dragon rays turned into fragments and completely melted into Phoenix. In one, the mecha of the Real Fire Phoenix turned into a beautiful rose red.

Rector leaned wetly against Opal. The two sat down in the control cabin. Rector coughed a few times. Opal said, "I'll soak it again."

Rector waved his hand, and the mech again flew to the gate of the lava country.

Opal said: "Who attacked you, teacher, did you notice?"

Rector shook his head, and Opal said: "I thought no one in the universe could hurt you... except Colleen and Ledgerson..."

"Opal." Rector said in a deep voice: "I think we are close to the truth, hurry up."

Opal understood what Rector meant. Someone was here to stop them. At first, he thought it was only Rotman’s chasing, but it was not exactly the case. He suspected that Ledgerson was mixed in the mech team and ordered them first. Underestimate the enemy and launch another almost successful raid.

Phoenix sank into the lava tide, Opal's thoughts were completely let go at this moment, and he also felt that Rector was reading his analysis.

"What do you think, teacher?" asked Opal, and explored Rector's ideas with consciousness.

Rector blocked Opal's consciousness. Opal's reaction to this was a bit strange, but I thought that if it was really Ledgerson, it was estimated that the impact on Rector was not small.

"Teacher." Opal wanted to say a few words that I have never betrayed you, but I don't know how to express it.

Rector said: "I understand, Opal."

The real fire phoenix travels through a long river of lava, without air or solids. All it sees is the endless lava that emits light and heat. Opal has the illusion of entering the interior of the star.Slowly, Phoenix's scanned map showed that they entered the inner core of the planet through the third melt fault.

He saw something different.

Opal finally understands why this kind of intelligent life is called "grey matter". In the high temperature of orange-red, these individuals appear to have a lower temperature and a grayish color.

Six clusters of spherical gray matter gathered together, and tens of thousands of gray matter appeared in the magma sea. Opal said: "Phoenix, is there a mode to facilitate communication?"

Opal was intended to be a device similar to a translator, but Phoenix turned into a fully transparent medium ball. This is the core of the entire Lava Star. There is no gravity. Opal and Rector are slowly suspended, leaning back Back, facing the gray matter life body appearing in all directions.

The shell of the gray ball projected from inside Phoenix, extending the complex data analysis. Opal was dazzled, and the last line understood-the conscious wave creature.

"You can use conscious waves to communicate directly." Opal said.

Phoenix replied: "The wave of consciousness is the highest way of communication in the universe. There is no deception or concealment. You don't use the advanced channel of consciousness waves. You must use the language with half the effort."

"Because we are still humans, Phoenix." Opal said: "This kind of unilateral communication is not necessarily what the other party wants..."

Phoenix replied: "I mean between you and Rector."

Opal: "?"

He glanced at Rector, and Rector said, "Phoenix, I have my reason."

Opal said, "Teacher, will you come or me?"

In the next moment, Rector took the initiative to connect thinking with Opal in the face of the uncountable gray matter lifelike stars.Got the first message.

[Humans, what is the purpose?

Opal and Rector are like two personalities in the same soul. They made lightning flashes about whether to use the power of faith to read the other party’s heart, or to speak frankly. In the end, Rector remained silent, while Opal Send a message.

[We inherited the ability of Prince Igna to investigate one thing.About the fate of a large number of polygonal silicon crystals recently produced.

A huge gray matter slow activity in the center: [The mutation road inspired by the stars begins again. This time, the remaining individuals will regain their missions. Every once in a while, a human spaceship will land outside our country. Take polysilicon, if you want, you can follow its whereabouts.

Opal: [What do you mean by the sudden path taught by the stars?

Rector: [Related to the mutation that duplicated the person that year?

Opal: [!!!

Grey matter king: [Yes, the transcendence of the stars has appeared, the stellar group has no longer the power to fight, and it will become a tool controlled by the transcendence. You humans will win this time.

Rector: [The transcendence of the stars means the people around me?

Grey matter king: [No.

Opal immediately thought of a person-Kyle?!

"It won't be him." Phoenix said: "The transcendence of the stars refers to the people who reverse the established direction after your dark age."

Grey matter king: [Don't enter our territory again, the last batch of silicon crystals will be handed over to you humans.Now, leave here.

Rector still has questions to ask, but the gray matter king suddenly emits high heat and merges with the magma sea, and he can no longer find its existence.All the gray matter around it also escaped into the melt.

Rector disconnected from Opal's consciousness and said: "Go back to the land, Phoenix."

The mech was insulated from the high temperature and slowly floated up in the magma sea.Opal said: "What does the transcendence of the stars mean?"

Rector said: "The phantom star chooses, the human representative."

Opal has too much to understand, and asked: "What is the mutation road?"

Rector pondered for a moment, and then said: "This is just an unverified hypothesis... Ivory Tower believes that the first copying person's self-consciousness mutation that triggered the wisdom revolution is due to the influence of stellar consciousness, otherwise copying life according to design The body’s own theory of science and technology makes it impossible to make mutations."

Opal doubted: "Why do stars need to transform replicating life forms?"

Rector said: "I don't know, Opal, Nolan hasn't told me, he thinks I'm not the person he chose, in fact, his attitude towards the Replica Legion is very vague, I think he has not behaved very well. Humans, but also unwilling to help copy people...Phoenix?"

Phoenix said: "Nolan gave Colleen a chip before he dissipated, maybe Colleen would know all this."

Opal said: "Don't you know?"

Phoenix said: "When I was made, the ancient universe has become a ruin. The five star spin machines were born as the ark of the material world. Their function is to transmit the material existence in the four-dimensional space and time toward the five-dimensional world, but Vagra The living body was hit by a stronger consciousness from a higher dimensionality, which led to the destruction of the ethnic group. In order to save us, I was temporarily shut down and brought into this universe. I have too many doubts about the passage of it."

Opal said: "What about dragon rays? Does it know anything?"

Phoenix said: "The five of us are a whole, and they are all parts of the material ark. Only me is the central control platform. According to the different functions of consciousness, it is divided into five special functional parts. It is useless if you ask it. It cannot answer you. ."

Long Ray replied briefly and succinctly: "Yes, in fact, we don't have any names. It is Nolan that has set the shell for us according to the creatures in this universe. Your star knight named us, and the real spin machine The name is Phoenix."

Phoenix returned to the land of the Lava Star along the same path, the dragon rays separated from it, and each turned into a mecha form. Opal only felt very incredible, saying: "Even the appearance of the combat mecha..."

"Also." Phoenix said: "It was Nolan's combat weapon designed according to your humanity, and he submitted us the phantom drawing."

Rector said: "I know all this, I just don't quite understand, what are the secrets of the Phantom Man in the original time and space?"

Phoenix said: "You can only ask Caroline, he saved all the data Nolan gave him."

"Who does the transcendence of the stars mean?" Opal said: "Since it is not Kyle..."

Rector: [Collorin.I believe that what they mentioned is probably Colleen.

Opal has to ask again, a spaceship in the distance flies to the ground.

coming!Opal temporarily put aside his doubts, and Rector said: "Dragon Ray, launching a quantum beam, tracking where the collecting ship is."

The spacecraft shoots out towing light and searches in the lava river.

Opal said: "I think we can attach to that spaceship."

Rector said: "It's easy to find, Opal."

Opal said: "You see its shape, not like a manned transport plane, try it."

Phoenix said: "Are you sure?"

Opal: "Well, I'm pretty sure."

The real fire phoenix and dragon rays disintegrated in the air, and the high temperature at that moment made Opal feel that he was cooked, and could not help yelling, Phoenix combined again and became a tiny space shuttle, blowing out a cooling airflow.

"Comrades! I was almost burnt to death!" Opal said.

Phoenix said, "I reminded you."

Opal couldn't help crying: "What reminder is this?"

Phoenix said: "Don't change the shape at random in an unknown environment, your human body is too fragile."

Opal remembered that the ancient gods were manufactured according to the standard of the phantom star, and the phantom star can survive in any harsh environment, as long as the magnetic field does not exceed the standard.

Two small space shuttles transformed from ancient gods immersed in magma and immersed in the heat flow, each attached to a cluster of silicon crystals, and was sucked into the cargo compartment by the transport ship with a towing beam.

"Unmanned aerial plane." Opal said: "I know."

Rector said: "Your courage is too big."

Opal laughed: "Can the habit of the mercenary get a good night's sleep? Listen to music? I guess it will take a long time to return."

"Random." Rector said, "Are you coming?"

"Come on, teacher, I look more comfortable here," Opal said.

The space near him was bigger, and Rector was squeezed by two large pieces of ore. He thought about it and said, "Forget it, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble."

Opal lowered the temperature inside the capsule with his mind, and the outer shell of Phoenix changed to a light color, which was then completely transparent.

"Do you miss gluttony? Phoenix." Opal always said something.

"It is a part of my body." Phoenix said: "They will always come back."

Opal moved in his heart and said, "What about the saber-toothed tiger? The teacher said that the saber-toothed tiger is dead."

Rector said: "After Horius died, the saber-tooth tiger spontaneously decomposed."

Phoenix said: "As long as a small piece of debris, I can restore it to its original state, but it requires a lot of energy. The energy for rebuilding the saber-toothed tiger is equivalent to the heat of a whole star."

Opal thought this was too much. If the Sabertooth Tiger was resurrected at King’s Wharf, the entire galaxy might be completely destroyed.I can only look for the uninhabited stars around...

"Pay attention to your thoughts." Phoenix's deep voice reminded: "Stellars have souls. Your way of thinking is easily peeped by the creator. Why does Nolan not resurrect the saber-toothed tiger? The reason is here, don't think you are five-dimensional Life in the world can escape the revenge of the stars. As a comrade in arms, I hope you can live longer."

Opal suddenly realized one thing-as Phoenix said, if the energy of the entire star is extracted, it will definitely destroy its soul.It is impossible for Stellar itself to cooperate with Opal’s actions.

There are more and more silicon crystals in the cabin. Opal looked at the ores and said, "How much are these ores worth?"

"Each gram is worth 1.2 million credit points." Rector said: "Before the dark age, each gram can make ten replicas of chips."

Opal said: "Apart from this, are there any other planets producing it?"

Rector said: "Yes, many planets have this material at the core. As long as it is gray matter, it will produce polygonal silicon crystals."

Opal said: "Every planet has its core?"

Rector thought about it and replied: "Not necessarily, I don't know what the principle is, Opal, you found it? The question you are asking now, the teacher has a lot of questions that can't be answered for you."

Opal smiled and said, "What the hell is gray matter?"

"The soul of the planet." Phoenix said: "The incomplete body of the secondary world consciousness has not completely evolved."

Opal: "..."

Rector: "..."

After a long silence, Rector said: "Planets will also evolve souls?"

Phoenix replied: "The soul of the planet is gradually produced after the birth of the world."

Opal remembering what the Pope once said, he couldn't help but ask: "Phoenix, what is the soul?"

Phoenix replied: "Dramon has already answered you."

Opal said: "I mean the interpretation in the fantasy star system. Is their interpretation of the soul more thorough?"

Phoenix replied: "Energy, the soul is energy, and the things with energy have their own souls. The soul of intelligent life is the aggregation of countless micro-souls. Each point of energy represents the fixed formation that you store in a continuous four-dimensional space-time. Imprinting, the aggregation of countless quanta to form conscious waves.

Opal understood a little bit, but was even more confused. Rector said: "So the consciousness of the world, that is...the ubiquitous energy?"

Phoenix said: "The soul of the world refers to the initial energy given to each parallel space-time when it is born. It is embodied in each star. All stars form a network of consciousness and share the soul of the world."

The ship's body oscillated slightly, and the transport ship collected silicon crystals and left the atmosphere to continuously gather energy in the peripheral space to increase the energy level and emit blue light.

Opal: "It's really rich, I also use the jump spacecraft."

Rector said: "Compared with the value of silicon crystal, the technology and energy of the transition is nothing, prepare for the transition."

The energy of the transport ship rose to the top, and the hull burst out of the dazzling blue light. At the next moment, hundreds of billions of stars turned into white lines. All the scenes were far away, and the reverse impulse stopped. The transport boat appeared in a starry sky and there was no one around. Dark place.

At that moment Opal had a strange feeling, as if he had been stretched.

"Why..." Opal only felt that time became very slow. He raised his hand and found that time was gradually returning to normal from the slow mobility, as if the time being stretched as the transport boat progressed. revert to original.

"Discrete space." Rector said: "Immediately enter the safety zone and turn on the omnidirectional surveillance mode."

Phoenix and the dragon rays light up the screen at the same time. Opal saw only one hot star in the darkness, surrounded by eight planets, and suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.

What is this place?Opal vaguely remembered seeing it, when was it?

——Ivory Tower No. 2 Proving Ground.

The transport ship approached the aqua blue planet and landed on the wilderness. The huge factories lined up in the endless green plains. There were traces of melting snow on the ground. Protozoa wandered on the ground. Robot guards patrolled the periphery.

The transport ship enters the warehouse, unloads the cargo compartment, Phoenix projects a light screen, and lines of data unfold—air composition: oxygen content 21.95%, nitrogen content 77%, carbon dioxide 0.02%, harmful gas: none.

The gravity coefficient is 1.0, and the autobiographical period is 23 universe hours, 56 minutes and 4 seconds.

Planet name: unknown.

Opal and Rector put away the armor of the ancient god, and each sought a place to hide.Opal thought that he might dive into the factory later, so he brought the E7 out.

The unloader came outside the warehouse, and Rector said in his consciousness: [Opal, you are responsible for collecting local intelligence and looking for the warehouse where the Replica Legion is located.I am responsible for finding the central laboratory, and keep in touch at any time.

Opal was a little nervous and replied: [Okay, teacher.

The voice of people talking outside—the universal human cosmic language.

A familiar voice said: "ATX, let me calculate the polygonal silicon crystal."

The sound of the robot's electric current, the warehouse door slowly opened, the tall figure dragged long in the sunset, Opal glanced at the probe from behind the condensing crystal-the world was completely subverted.

It was Raymond, exactly the same face, eyebrows and expression.

He wore a piece of artisan uniforms, walked into the warehouse, took a half-meter-high robot, and began to count the polygonal silicon crystals.
