The Star Knight

Hugo's wife gasped slowly on the curved metal chair, opened her eyes, and murmured something.Anya carefully wiped her sweat from her forehead.

"Any." Opal whispered: "I have a plan, but this requires your cooperation."

Anya looked up at Opal.

Opal said: "The teacher said that in the territory of the Republic, we must abide by the principle of interstellar humanitarian rescue. We have no identification, but we are all humans like them, and B11 is also one of the jurisdictions of the Republic."

Anya listened blankly, Opal said: "So you will take her to the hospital later and let the people in the hospital cure her. Although the anti-inflammatory drugs temporarily suppressed her inflammation, the condition is still very serious. On the Scarlet Star, life is very important, as long as they go to the hospital, they will not ignore it, and they will call the police next."

"What does the alarm mean?" Anya asked.

"Notify the police." Opal explained: "Police..."

"It's the police," Rector corrected.

Opal: "The'policeman' is the person who maintains order, just like the foreman, but the order they maintain, unlike our order, will take you away and ask you some questions, including how you got to this planet, You just have to answer truthfully and tell them that I brought you in and everything will be resolved."

Anya said, "Is there such a good thing? What about you?"

Opal nodded, patted her shoulders with gloved hands, and said, "I still have things to deal with, and I will come to see you as soon as it is resolved."

Rector stood in the center of the spaceship, and a round box floated and revolved in the air. That was exactly the heart of the universe that Rector used to recharge, as Opal saw a long time ago.

Rector said: "This is the core operating system of Dragon Ray, which can take care of all the instructions most of the time."

Opal asked: "Can we pass the immigration check?"

Rick nodded in character, signaling that he didn't have to worry.

Opal stared at Rector’s star map, and Rector explained: "I used to have two star maps. The one I gave you was once a memorial for me."

Opal Road: "I will use it well."

The silver dragon rays passed through 35,000 astronomical units and appeared outside the crimson star's atmospheric space station.Its flat metal body slowly rises and falls, just like the mysterious ancient creatures in the ocean. When approaching the space station, it folded its wings and gathered up, becoming an ellipsoidal space shuttle. The gloss on the surface dimmed, showing black, and Shows countless patterns.

The crimson star is surrounded by dense space stations, forming a sequence between each other, thousands of kilometers away.When the silver dragon rays are close to each other, four space stations emit bright arcs at the same time, forming a net to prevent the space shuttle from progressing further.

The communicator on the spacecraft sounded electronically: "Welcome to Crimson Star, please enter your pass number and submit an entry application."

The indicator light on the front section of the space shuttle lights up with red dots, and a light is emitted from the top of the blue crystal. In the messy electronic sound, the sound wave is emitted along with the electric wave and passes the identity verification.

Rector didn't speak, but his voice sounded in Opal's mind: "Every time you enter a planet, you must fill out an entry declaration form to avoid carrying certain prohibited objects in the universe, which is usually managed on the administrative star. Stricter."

Opal nodded slowly, thinking of the declaration form?Did not see what Rector did.

Rector seemed to have guessed his thoughts and communicated with consciousness: "Longray has its own wisdom and has transmitted the contents of the declaration form to the immigration center by means of radio waves. This includes the spacecraft's belongings, as well as the ship's members and luggage. ."

Opal thought: What about our identity?

Rector replied with consciousness: "Not a few of your declarations."

Opal thought: What should we do?

Rector didn't answer him anymore.

"Welcome to you, Mr. Bai, a technical adviser from the Atomic Pool Club of the Republic." This time I changed the gentle female voice and asked: "Please tell me the purpose of your visit to Crimson Planet."

Rector said: "Come to visit an old friend with ID RU301707."

The female voice replied after a moment of silence: "Your friend lives on the 17th Street of Paradise Fire Courtyard. She has received notice and welcomes your visit. Please comply with the Interstellar Peace Convention after entry. The weather of the Crimson Star is very good today. ,wish you happy."

Rector said: "I also wish you a happy day."

The circular arc was withdrawn and the space shuttle entered the atmosphere and landed on the ground.

"Advisor to the Atomic Pool Club..." Opal asked, "What is it?"

Rector said lightly: "It's just a travel-friendly identity. Sounds funny?"

Opal smiled and said, "A bit."

Rector smiled and said: "Atom billiards is a kind of entertainment, using machines to make atoms in the micro world collide with each other and earn points."

Opal asked: "You really like this activity? Did you have a good time?"

Rector said: "It's barely passable."

Opal looked at him suspiciously and said, "But you never taught me this."

Rector's eyebrows moved, saying: "It's easy to indulge in entertainment. What he should do, I haven't played in a long time."

The spacecraft landed slowly, the heart of the universe lit up, and Rector immediately signaled him not to speak.

An electronic prompt sounded again in the communicator: "Attention, the immigration personnel report to check."

Rector reported a name and pass code, electronic soundtrack: "Now radio scan."

Rector made a movement against the control crystal with one hand. The shell of the silver dragonfish became transparent. Opal seemed to feel a net cover coming up, and then the blue crystal turned into a liquid-like ripple, forming a mask. Entrapped the wives of Opal, Anya and Hugo.

"This is a deception mechanism." Rector said: "Can conceal most radio scans."

Opal said: "Thanks to you, teacher. If I come by myself, it might make things more difficult."

Rector said: "No, I think that if you come in a spaceship, the way might be more direct. You will be intercepted outside the defensive space station. You have no identity proof, and it will be caused after completing the entry declaration form. Executive Star's attention."

Opal said: "So they will listen to my report?"

Rick said with a head: "Usually this kind of thing will be resolved, but the time is too long, which is not good for the situation on B-11."

After a few words, the small flying robot outside had finished scanning and left, and the silver dragon rays slowly descended towards the airship apron and stopped in the open.

Opal said: "Go down?"

Rector waved his hand and made another action. The dragon rays shrank again, the space in the ship was compressed, and then turned into a small alloy magnetic sports car. Rector took the driving position and Opal sat in the co-pilot position. The long car shell reflected the bright sunlight, carrying four people off the apron.

Even the ground car was saved. Rector hugged his arms and did not need to drive. The silver dragon rays left along the dedicated ground traffic lane.Opal leaned in front of the car window and looked at this beautiful world curiously.

The sky is like blue washed by water, the sun is shining orange-red in the afternoon, and both sides of the magnetic suspension lane are full of gorgeous flowers. Each flower is five meters high, and the calyx is huge and shows a flame-like red.

"This kind of flower is called the Scarlet Virgin." Rector said: "Only the planets in the Chiyan galaxy, the environment is suitable for planting."

Opal said: "It's so beautiful. I remember reading it in the book. Its nectar can make wine."

Rector nodded happily: "The Crimson Saint Wine is also a famous wine in the Milky Way."

The Dragon Ray sports car slowed down before the third checkpoint. A human in uniform came over and took a pen-shaped pocket projector and waited politely on the side of the road.

Opal said: "Want to check?"

Rector said: "Maybe."

Opal said: "Your car is perfect and conspicuous."

Rector said: "It could have been pretended to be a bit shabby. This was just to make people less confident in their investigations. Unexpectedly, people in this galaxy... don't seem to eat this set."

Opal said: "Shall I hide?"

Rector said, "No." Bi said he took off a pair of sunglasses from the front of the sports car and put them on.

The sports car stopped slowly, the side windows lowered, and Opal looked outside and then looked at Rector. Rector still wore the black sand bat leather cloak. They would only wear it in such a luxurious car. It looks very rustic, but when Rector wears sunglasses, he has an alternative, masculine beauty.

"Mr. Bai from the Immortal Galaxy in the Interstellar Republic?" The man said: "I need to check your transportation."

Rector looked at him casually and said: "This is a retro silver sports car, the license plate number has been filled in the declaration form."

The inspector said: "Yes, but this is a routine inspection. Not because of your car... Please adjust the transparency of the window, let me see..."

Before he could check the back seat, he met Opal's eyes.

He turned on the pocket projector and projected a three-dimensional light screen, saying: "According to your immigration declaration form, you have only one person, but..."

Opal knew that Rector must have a solution, so he smiled at the prosecutor and said, "Hello."

The inspector frowned: "Who is he?"

Rector took off his sunglasses and looked at the inspector's eyes, saying, "He is my student."

Opal: "..."

The inspector's eyes only flickered for a moment, and then returned to focus, falling on Opal's face and muttering: "He is your student."

Rick nodded characteristically, and the inspector said to himself: "Yes, he is your student."

Rector said: "Can I pass?"

The inspector said: "I wish you a pleasant journey on the Crimson Planet."

The window rose and the sports car drove on the road and galloped away.

Opal said: "What did you just do to him, teacher?!"

Rector's handsome mouth showed a narrow smile, saying: "Look, the road here is divided into many layers, hey, don't make trouble!"

Opal came to grab Rector's hand in disbelief, Rector raised his arm and let go, casually said: "This is not what you should know."

Opal said: "Can you control the minds of others?"

Rick nodded in character, and Opal said, "Is it the power of faith?"

Rector shook his head and looked out the window thoughtfully.

Leaving the apron, all roads criss-cross, and the traffic lanes of cars and crimson stars start from the ground, interlacing one by one, one by one, all the roads together are hundreds of meters high.All roads are floating in the air in the form of light tracks. Maglev sports cars only need to adjust their height to drive different roads, with different classifications and different destinations.

The ground is the channel for transport vehicles and trains, and upwards are public transportation, large suspension vehicles, small private vehicles, and they are organized in different ways.

Opal saw the giant electronic signage, and the silver dragon rays drove between the endless stream of vehicles. A small rotating round box was suspended in front of the driver's seat, and the whole picture of the crimson galaxy was projected on the round box.

Rector's finger clicked on one of them, the map was enlarged, and another area was selected-zoomed in again, until they were in the direction.

Opal Road: "You have to go to the hospital first."

Rector nodded slowly and said, "What are you going to do?"

Opal said: “Any, I’m going to put you in front of the hospital, and I’ll see you next.”

Anya nodded nervously in the back seat.

Opal Road: "Come on, Anya."

The silver dragon rays stopped at the entrance of the hospital. Opal held her dying Hugo wife and placed her on the metal platform outside the hospital, beckoning Anya to stand beside her, and then turned back, got into the car, and the sports car leaned The body leaned on one side, floated into the lane, and ran in the other direction, making a circle and coming back from the other side.

Rector and Opal are watching Anja on the metal platform.

Anya grabbed her clothes corner nervously, wrapped in a cloth turban on her head, and stood on the platform very abruptly.

"Anyone?" she shouted uncomfortably: "Help! Help her!"

A robot emerged from the passage, beating Diane and Anya and the wife of Hugo lying and gasping.

More medical robots galloped out, Anya stepped back in fear, all the robot lights were on, a woman ran out of the aisle, instructed Anya not to move, knelt down on the ground, took out the detection instrument from the robot chest chest, began to give Hugo's wife checks.

Opal said: "Is that man a doctor?"

Rector said: "Yes, your plan is not perfect, but it works well."

It wasn't until the two medical robots stretched out the iron tube to form a stretcher and sent Ugo's wife into the hospital that Anya followed, and Opal really put a big stone down.

Opal said: "Everything will be fine, right, teacher."

Rector said approvingly: "The society of the Republic also has a dark side. Although there are many ugly things lurking in it, at least on the surface, many things still have a positive side. What next? Continue your plan? "

Opal took a deep breath and looked out the car window, looking at the projected billboards flashing on both sides of the road.

[70 years to complete your dream of traveling around the universe, a new generation of spacecraft with jump function.

Gene Cultivate your next generation, the latest technology of perfect gene chain.Life medical company, to create the best life for newborns.

[The new model of environmentally friendly smart home robot will make your home no longer cold and give you an emotional home.

A splendid world, with strange lights, this planet is full of countless unknowns and novelties, and Opal wants to see it for a while.But his time is pressing, every minute and every second is very precious.

"My initial idea." Opal said: "I want to come here with Anya, with chips and evidence to ask for help."

Rector responded casually, stopping the car in front of a neon flashing entertainment building, taking a card from the drawer in front of the car, and scratching the card on the robot outside.

"Continue." Rector opened a small cover in front of the sports car console, which showed a progress bar.

Opal went on: "But Hugo entrusted his wife to me, and I changed my plan. Instead of going to contact me myself, it would be better for the police to find Anya, and then I turned in the evidence... This robot is really interesting, better than The E7 I made is much better." Opal noticed that the robot came again with a tin-wrapped box and asked, "Teacher, what are you doing?"

Rector carelessly said: "Buying newspapers and supper, the plan can't compare with the change. This is a normal thing. Need to be flexible, you are doing well."

When the window was closed, Rector handed Opal a tin foil bag. When Opal opened, it was found to be a soft bread with meaty sausages. Rector said, "Come on St. Marmalade?"

Opal took a vial and learned that Rector squeezed it up. This thing is called a hot dog. He has seen it in a holographic movie.

Rector eats a hot dog, turns on the projector in the car, and the light screen expands, which is full of instant information, saying: "Don't work anymore during dinner time, think of something else."

Opal thought no longer knew that it was tens of thousands of light years away and laughed: "It tastes so good."

Opal eats hot dogs gulpingly, which is really delicious, better than all the food I have eaten on the B11 star, which is almost indescribably delicious.

"Teacher." Opal suddenly thought of another question, chewing and asking, "Since the technology is so advanced, why are there people in the hospital? Are policemen also robots?"

"No." Rector said: "Since the human life revolution of eight thousand years ago, the Republic and the Empire have concluded a convention on intelligent life. No matter in any corner of society, the use of robots must be strictly controlled. After all, human beings cannot completely give up work, and besides earning a living, work itself has more important sustenance."

Opal remembered it. This is the history of the universe mentioned on the chip, but I read it myself, and I have almost forgotten it.Eight thousand years ago, the Empire and the Republic produced a large number of robots and put them into use.

However, no matter how high the processing power of the light brain is, the intelligent robot cannot always have emotions and think spontaneously.This rule was predicted by a great scientist as early as 20,000 years ago-a computer with a speed of 100,000 times, the ability to think independently is not even as good as an earthworm.

Robots can't own themselves. Scientists have proposed a very bold method: imitate human biological cells to synthesize and make a new humanoid computer with the strength of a robot.

This "human-like life" has gradually taken shape through hundreds of years of research and evolution. They have the physical strength of robots and have a biological brain that is almost exactly the same as humans. After the baby-like brain is formed, it learns autonomously. To gain consciousness and to control the behavior patterns controlled by the central chip

This batch of humanoid robots set off an intelligent revolution, which was eventually destroyed in batches.

Opal said: "They have no soul."

Rector hummed, and after eating the hot dogs, he threw the tin foil into the trash can for destruction. The trash can is connected to an atomic calciner, which can convert it into environmentally friendly energy.

Rector said: "Empire emperor Philoen Cartes has always opposed the large-scale application of human intelligence, but he has no way to take his nobles."

Opal nodded and said, "In the end they were all destroyed?"

Rector replied: "A new weapon has been developed in the ivory tower. Using nuclear magnetic resonance, the central chips of all biological robots have been restarted to make them kill each other."

This paragraph was never read by Opal. He wondered: "What? Ivory Tower?"

"The ivory tower, which is at the junction of the centers of the six black holes, and beyond the horizon of the future, where light can never reach, can only be reached through the higher-dimensional starry sky door, where a group of mad scientists live, nothing to think about How to destroy the universe." Rector tilted Erlang's legs and turned the newspaper absently on the light screen with a pocket cursor projector. The holographic projection also cooperated with a loud noise.

Opal frowned and asked, "How do you know this?"

Rector said: "Because I participated in the war of intelligent human revolution, of course, I stand on the side of the Republic."

Opal has no way to say: "You beat them all alone?!"

Rector said: "It's two."

Opal asked: "Who is there? Your friend? I remember you said that there are three Star Knights..."

Rector didn't answer any more, motioned to Opal to read the newspaper, and said, "Today's information is updated synchronously, Opal, you see."

The holographic newspaper has turned a page. The entire planet on the Scarlet Star is covered with an extremely developed information network. You only need to buy the newspaper once to see all the news that is happening or has been happening constantly updated, every minute and every second. The news of thousands of magazines is constantly rolling, and now almost all news pages have the same headlines.

[Star B-11, a dark place that is not illuminated by the light of the Republic.

The picture is a color picture of Anya. Her face is haggard and pale, and her eyes are full of tears, as if it is a silent complaint.

The news content tells how a girl escaped from the B-11 star and took her seriously ill friend to the Crimson Star for medical treatment.Rector said: "The most direct way to understand the political atmosphere and situation of a planet is to look at their newspapers."

Opal said: "Anything has alarmed a lot of people, and you have to take action immediately."

Rector said: "Take you to the police station? The planetary police station is only responsible for local affairs, you have to go to the headquarters of the interstellar police station. Long Ray, look at the coordinates."

The silver dragon rays started and went along the road to the equator of the Crimson Star.

Opal yelled and began to think about how to deal with it. Rector rolled the newspaper screen down and Opal saw another piece of news.

[The annual auction of the Mineral Planet will begin in three days, a commercial war between Black Rock Mining and Holens Minerals.

"Wait." Opal said: "Teacher, I changed my mind."

Rector parked his car in front of a huge building. The galaxy police station was marked in front of the office building. Many cars surrounded the police station. Opal asked: "Who are those people?"

Rector said: "Journalists are a profession that is difficult to deal with."

Opal came up with a bold idea, saying: "Horance Minerals is a competitor of Black Rock Mining?"

With an admiring look in his eyes, Rector asked, "Do you want to revise your plan again?"

Opal nodded and said: "I want to take the chip to find this Holens Minerals company, or they are willing to pay a sum of money to buy the evidence."

Rector asked: "What do you want money for?"

Opal said: "Give Oman, let him place everyone. If not, I have prepared another copy. Teacher, look, there are two copies here."

The silver dragon rays turned around and headed towards the business district. The headquarters of many mineral and commercial companies were on Crimson Stars, and the Black Rock Wilderness and Holens Company were no exception.When the night came, the dragon rays swept the beacon track at a very high speed, just like a red cloud chasing the sunset. Gradually, it entered the evening time and space again.

Rector stopped the car at the parking lot and said, "Then, you must first think about how to use the resources in your hands."

Opal said, "Teacher, how did you do it?" He studied Rector, staring at his eyes, and laid his palm in front of him.

"You can't do it," Rector yelled.

"I can do it," Opal insisted.

"No." Rector said right now: "Now I tell you very seriously, Opal, the role of the power of faith, is by no means for you to steal people's ideas and hypnotize people who disagree with you. So Behaving against the creed of the Star Knight."

Opal said: "But you did just that."

Rector said: "I do it as a last resort. I don't want you to do this. If you rely too much on the power of faith, sooner or later you will destroy yourself."

"Think about it." Rector's voice was heavy and serious, with a threatening meaning: "Once, twice, the enemy was hypnotized by the power of faith, and surrendered in front of you. If you continue this way, you will lose the courage to fight. Once you meet a determined opponent or even a special life form that is not affected by the power of faith, you will die humiliatingly under their hands."

"The reason why I don’t teach you compulsive hypnotism and mind reading." Rector seriously said: "Because I don’t want to see you become a waste without any fighting will. You must control your spiritual world and cannot rely on it. Get what you shouldn't get. The result of misusing your beliefs is that your beliefs gradually become worthless and end up in a permanent dark world."

Opal vaguely understood what he was, but he was very at a loss, but every word of Rector was already a dogma that no one could change. He was firmly engraved in his heart. He replied: "I will Do what you say, teacher."

Rector's face was still very serious, and he nodded slowly.

Opal took a deep breath, took out the chip, thought for a moment, and said, "I'll try it first."

Rector said: "Go." He raised his hand and touched Opal's head, and said, "I give you courage."

The car door opened, Opal ran out of the parking lot, walked up the overpass in the fiery red dusk, and headed towards the headquarters of the company.
