The Star Knight

Opal: "Teacher!"

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

E7 also dragged the rope and whispered behind Opal. Opal's eyes were full of admiration and envy. He couldn't even believe what he saw.

A towering humanoid machine stood in the canyon, almost as high as the mountain, and its silver shell shone in the sunlight.Just standing motionless brings an indescribable sense of oppression.The streamlined silver alloy shell refracts the brilliant light, just like a huge warrior armor.

It is 50 meters high, with a mirror-like shield on the left hand, a 30-meter-long giant sword on the right, a bizarre gun barrel on the back of the arm, and a pair of armor boots as if it can move. The joints, the elbows on the arms, the head... fit so seamlessly.The eyes under the eyebrows show a magnificent indigo, like two sapphires in the snow.

There are also two long metal wings behind its shoulders, like the thin wings of the sand bat when it expands, and when it is momentarily gathered, it makes a metallic friction sound and drags it to the ground.

"What is this?" Opal said.

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

Opal said: "Mount?! Is this... spaceship? Teacher? Is this your spaceship?!"

Rector said: "As a knight, of course there should be armor and mounts, they are one."

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

Opal looked up, and the silver brilliance circulated on the mech. It was like a huge idol, which made people feel unconsciously trembling.

Opal asked: "I can understand the silver, why is it called dragon rays?"

"You will know in the future, how are you doing?" Rector said.

The silver mecha moved, and it bowed out with a hand, Rector jumped up, raised his palm, Opal recovered, and said, "I have got the chip."

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

Rector raised slowly until a round box flew out of the mech's head and landed in his hand.The light in Mech's eyes dimmed.

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

Rector said: "I always wear it on my hands."

Opal: "..."

Opal went to remove the battery and charge the round box. Rector said: "Enough is enough. Twenty percent can pass through the interstellar space and jump at the designated location."

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

"Creator's masterpiece." Rector smiled, took off the round box, and nudged the palm of his hand, and the heart of the universe spun to the forehead of the silver mech, embedded in the energy pool.

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

Rector said: "Consciousness, it is not an ordinary mecha, and the special Swire mecha has its own soul. There are many kinds of interplanetary fighter mechas, controlled by brain waves, and controlled by the light brain program in the cabin. ."

Opal said: "Is there a lot of mechs like this in the universe?"

Rector said: "Some fighters are in mass production, but the ancient armor of the Taikoo fighter class is unique. According to current knowledge, there are no more than three in the universe."

Opal said: "Are you in the hands of the Star Knights? How many people are there in the Star Knights?"

Rector said lightly: "There were three people a long time ago, and now there are only two left."

Opal stared up at the fighter, and he also stared down at him, and Opal could almost feel clearly that it was conscious.

Rector said: "Their lives are even longer than humans. They are the product of ancient civilizations before the advent of human beings. The imperial people believe that they are the true gods in the ancient universe that were left after the big eruption. They are the true gods."

Opal asked: "How did you find it?"

Rector said: "Silver dragon rays, one thousand thousand years ago, an ancient ruin in the marginal universe, a fault in space was unearthed. The first one to control it was another star knight, he was dead, but The conviction of the Star Knight and ancient armor are still passed down."

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

Rector shouted: "Of course, no money, just feel free to touch."

Opal touched it cautiously, and the silver pilot bowed down, making a metallic sound, kneeling on one knee and spreading the huge palm in front of him.

Opal went up and stood on its palm.

The layers of metal at the pilot’s chest opened, revealing a small space capsule.

Opal looked inside, thinking that if it weren’t for Rector, he might never reach it in his life, let alone manipulate such a mecha.He stared at it for a long time in awe, as if feeling his mood swings.

Rector said: "Dragon Ray thank you for the energy you collected for him. A long time ago, when we landed in the desert, it saw you run away, thinking you would sell it or take it for yourself. It’s the energy battery that came back. It’s very touching. I think it’s not easy for you.”

Opal smiled and said, "It turns out that it's your rescue cabin! I said! It's so perfect, it's my pleasure to do something for it."

This is Opal's heartfelt emotion, facing the silver soldier, it is like facing an omnipotent deity.

Rector said: "Do you want a Taikoo mecha? Try to walk in and operate it."

Opal immediately said: "No, I... I don't have this idea at all." His expression was a little bit sad, no matter how hard he tried, it seemed that he would never be able to catch up with Rector in case. The small one is even more unworthy. Owning a masterpiece by the creator feels shameful just thinking about it.

Rector rose slowly in the air and turned to sit in the small operating cabin. Immediately after the pilot pressed his backhand on the chest, Opal yelled and was also jammed in and hit Rector.

The operating cabin was closed, and the surrounding area was long and dark.

Rector let him turn outward, his hands apart, just like the magician who controls all the stars in the universe, all the darkness disappeared, the ancient silver-white runes circled around them, and the endless plain and Snow.

Opal said: "Teacher..."

Rector said: "Grasp it."

Opal grabbed it subconsciously, but didn't know what to grab. Then the mech leaned forward, his knees bent slightly, and a flaming flame erupted under his feet. Rector's body was pressed down. The two were in this narrow The body of the capsule is close to each other, and the silver drones rush to the universe of light.

"Teacher!" Opal shouted excitedly.

"Be quiet, the old man's ears are very fragile." Rector smiled, withdrawing with his left hand and flat pressing with his right hand, a bright star appeared in front of him, and then turned around in the space capsule, his consciousness seemed to be completely synchronized with the silver mech With that action, the mecha turned around and had just left the atmosphere of B11 in just a moment.

"This is just the battle mode of the silver dragon rays." Rector said: "All Swire fighters have many modes. The rescue cabin you see is just a small part of its transformation. As long as the energy is enough, it can use it. Its own molecular memory characteristics replicate any element in the universe and merge with each other to form the strongest alloy."

Opal said: "The ones that helped me repair the spaceship! Can they copy themselves?"

"Those alloys have no soul," Rector said softly. "Well, I think it can't be copied anymore, but they are part of the dragon rays, maybe it can feel it."

Then Rector leaned in again, the armor turned head to foot, Opal was driven by inertia, the whole person was lying in Rector's arms, Rector held him smoothly, his hands gently from his waist As soon as it was lifted, the mech spewed out high-speed flames, gliding across the dark universe for thousands of miles, and the stars were fleeting in front of him.

"Leave the Chiyan galaxy." Rector said: "Preparing for a space jump, countdown, three, two, one."

"Ah---" Opal couldn't help shouting loudly, his body seemed to turn into a ray of light, and he suddenly invested in the vast unknown field, and then restored to its original state in an instant, with a red, blue, yellow in front of him Of triple galaxies, they have a triangular structure, and they overlap each other.It is like a triangle formed by three astrolabes.

"What is this place?!" Opal asked.

"The Leo Nebula is 19 million light-years away from the B-11 star." Rector carelessly made a move, raising his hand and gently gripping with his five fingers. The silver mech held the shield in the left and the sword in the right. An arc of light was drawn on the side of the body, disintegrating all the meteorite flying on the face.

Rector: "The realm of the empire."

Opal said: "But you didn't go through the star gate!"

Rector said: "Dragon rays have the ability to break through space and do not need to find a transmission point. Many new spaceships now also have preliminary functions. They are ready to make space jumps again, countdown, three, two, one."

Opal turned into a beam of light again, and appeared in the hundreds of billions of stars. Rector held his hands under the ribs of Opal and hugged him, raising them in front of the two. Opal was resting on Rector’s shoulder. After the rapid retreat of Jia, the perspective is farther and farther away, showing the whole picture of the galaxy.

Opal said: "Where is this place?"

"Republic Starfield." Rector said: "This place is called the Milky Way."

The star-shaped silver plate is like a huge vortex, shining with silver shining. It has two spiral arms, like a silver plate, standing vertically towards opal.

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

"It's beautiful," Opal murmured.

Rector didn't speak, and the two of them quietly enjoyed the whole view of the Milky Way.

Opal said: "How big is it?"

Rector said: "Five thousand light-years, look there." As he raised his hand, the mech extended its huge arm.

Rector made a five-finger fist and reversed, and the barrel on the arm of the mech fired into the universe.

The star-like powder condenses into a beam of light, clustering a mass of silver-white energy into the space like a comet, dragging out a shining trace and casting into the depths of the infinite universe.

"That location is where humans originated." Rector said: "On one of its spiral arms, there is a star system called the solar system, which contains only one star and eight planets."

"That was something very far away." Opal said: "I remember that the chip you showed me mentioned ancient human history."

"Yes." Rick said with a head: "The ancient man called the time effect of light traveling 300,000 kilometers in a vacuum one second. Sixty seconds is one minute, and it is deduced to one hour, one day, one Year. It takes 365 days for the parent star to revolve around its star, which becomes a common reference standard in many galaxies, so the cosmic year is a fixed value, which corresponds to the earliest length unit'light year'."

Opal Road: "Is the Universe Temperature Scale?"

Rector said: "Almost all the units are, as long as it is a civilization derived from the solar system, the measurement unit and the text are almost unified, preparing for the space jump, three, two, one."

Opal saw the B-11 star again. The desolate planet showed a rusty iron color, and the mech landed slowly into the atmosphere, returning to their original canyon.

The silver mecha decomposed into shiny metal pieces spinning in the air, and the metal pieces became smaller and smaller, fitting each other, wrapped around Rector’s wrist, and Rector held the Opal slowly and landed him on the snow. In the ground.

Opal's expression was very melancholy, shock and confusion filled his heart, and he came back. This planet is just a drop of the sea in the vast universe. Looking up at the stars above the head, everything seemed so insignificant, so small.

Rector didn't speak anymore and left Opal standing. He inspected the wafer brought back by Opal against the sunlight and put it into the information transcriber. The rotating stereoscopic projection appeared, and the dense information table spread out.

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

"Ah! Right!" Opal finally recovered and ran to Rector, with his hands on his knees, bowed to read the information with him, and asked, "Why do you say that?"

Rector said: "Thirty million units of energy stored in rutile spar were sold to Harley Fockett, a notorious interstellar pirate in the Magellanic Nebula. The Republic is very headache and did not expect the minerals of the Scarlet Planet The company is still doing business with him privately."

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

Rector said: "Maybe."

Opal detailed their experience to Rector, and finally said: "I intend to divide it into two parts, the first part is the information stored in the chip, the second part is the mine disaster four years ago, the body of 10,000 miners We are still buried underground, we have evidence."

Rector nodded slowly, and Opal said: "I have to repair the spacecraft immediately, hoping to fix it."

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

Opal frowned: "How much time do I have?"

Rector said: "It's far away from the nearest Stargate, and you can't take a short cut. From Crimson Star to B11, after passing the newly established Stargate, it will theoretically take five to seven days, which will also cost a lot of money. energy."

Opal was shocked and thought carefully, saying: "I don't think they should be driving a normal spaceship, and they are already on the way to departure. Otherwise, if they come directly through the space, wouldn't they have been here? But now Everything is normal."

Rector said: "Yes, you are very smart."

Opal said: "Then I still have a minimum of five days, so I have to hurry up."

Rector said: "You forgot, when you walk through the starry sky door and reach the crimson star, they have already arrived here, and have 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, "I'm here!"

Rector got up, Anya and Oman ran off, and Opal said, "How about Locke?"

Oman said: "Locke is in the village and is persuading everyone to find a place to hide first. We are afraid that the foremen will come back early if they receive the alarm here."

"Opal." Hugo took his wife off the bus and said, "I'm begging you something."

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 agent can not make her completely better, and she still has a fever. I would like to ask you to take her to find a place on Crimson Planet Heal, as long as she can be cured, let me do anything for you."

Rector stepped forward, all eyes were on him.

"Heart-lung heat cough." Rector said: "This is caused by a streptococcus bacterium carried on a comet, how can it get this disease?"

Opal Road: "No time to explain..."

Rector said: "No explanation, let me see, these are your friends?"

Opal nodded, Oman said: "I heard of you, you are the teacher of Opal."

Anya carried a suitcase and looked at Rector crampedly. Opal was about to talk about his spacecraft, but Rector said: "Go, go now, time is running out."

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

Rector said: "Thank you for everything you did for me, Opal. It may be too difficult to let the next thing be handled by yourself. You have done a good job. Now, please accept my help and I will Do my best for you."

Opal was still, with tears in his eyes, and Rector smiled and touched his head.

Rector's bracelet glowed with silver glaring light, turned into ten thousand pieces of metal and surrounded them from the sky, the silver mech changed into a flat, wide pterosaur covering an area of ​​nearly ten thousand square meters. Rays, like the flat manta rays in the abyss of the sea, gently flapped their silver wings at high altitude and dragged out their shiny long tails.

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

The ring-shaped transmission ladder fell, and Opal took Hugo's wife and said, "You stay here."

Hugo said, "Good luck, I'll leave it to you."

"We are saved." Oman looked up at the silver dragon rays and muttered excitedly: "Save! Opal, everything will be yours."

Opal took Hugo's wife into the Dragon Ray spacecraft. Anya's eyes were in tears and he said goodbye to Oman.

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

The star map of the Red Flame Galaxy is refracted on the crystal, and hundreds of planets orbit around the central star in an orderly manner.

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

The crimson star lit up in the star map, and the metal dragon rays swept out of the crimson bed, flew over the miners’ village, and then turned into a beam of light that cut through the atmosphere and flew to the red flame galaxy.
