"Make a break!" the silver giant roared.
In the far-reaching space, the ring shock wave swept out. The spherical nebula disintegrated before the enormous force of the collapse, and the atomic wind was blown away into the distance with drifting ice crystals and iron filings.
"Teacher, I don't want to kill you."
The indifferent voice of a man in the dark iron mecha cab came from the communication channel.
The black iron mecha backhand pulled out a huge long cannon from behind, and the muzzle sucked all the dark energy in the vast universe.
Two flames swept up and down between the nebulae, the silver giant struck with a shield, the power of light and magnetism collapsed the space, and the transparent scene had a strange characteristic like water waves. shoot!
There is no sound in this lonely place, only the powerful vibration and light. All resistance disappeared under the action of the energy field. In the icy vacuum, the speed of the two ancient mechas was getting faster and faster. The concentrated energy compresses hundreds of millions of meteorites and space impurities.
It drags an arc-shaped trajectory between the dark red nebulae. Wherever it passes, the point-shaped galaxy is pulled by a huge force, like a hurricane across the universe. Stars and cosmic dust that have existed for hundreds of millions of years are in this world-destroying world. Destroyed under the power, aggregated, and then turned into energy that opened up the world, and it was destroyed!
A black hole emerges, and more and more matter gathers toward the muzzle.
The long sword of the silver giant shone, stretched out its metal limbs, the shield spun rapidly, turned into an energy shield, and the torrent of photons criss-crossed, swirling toward the tsunami-like stardust hurricane.
The moment the energy collided, a shock that destroyed the entire nebula was aroused, and high-intensity rays of light erupted around. The stars hit by the torrent of photons burned their cores, and tens of millions of supernovae erupted. The chaotic space order is full of one after another. of bright light and high heat.
"Teacher, you lost."
The man's voice sounded from the communicator, he appeared without warning in front of a huge star, bypassed the distorted space in the gravitational field, and four black rotating matter energy wrapped the silver giant.
A sharp blade appeared from Ujin's long cannon, piercing the body of the silver giant from behind. Blood burst out in the cabin, and the shot directly pierced his body.
"Self-destruction mode is triggered, molecular memory is retained, and the escape mechanism Sea of Time is activated."
Blood spurted out of Recht's mouth, his fingers twitched into fists with convulsions, and with a buzzing sound, the black iron giant blasted it into flying powder. In that instant, a shimmering dust of dust appeared in the dark universe, and disappeared in a flash.
The next moment, the dark red powder nebula collapsed toward the center of their battlefield. Due to this chain reaction, the nebula with a diameter of 100,000 light-years would converge into a high-density black hole, but it would take 100,000 years.
In 100,000 years, this place will be an icy darkness, and who cares
The ancient astrolabe slowly rotates in the vast universe, hundreds of billions of new stars are born and grow old, and the tens or even tens of billions of years from the birth to the death of tens of thousands of galaxies only occupy a corner of the long river of time.
The cosmic space fluctuated for a while, and the small silver escape capsule flew out with the residual temperature of the stellar explosion and threw it towards the Chiyan Galaxy.
It passed through the atmosphere of a rust-colored planet, dragged flames that rubbed against the air, and plunged into the vast desert.
This is a ore star named B-11. The planet is very barren, and its only product is a few energy minerals, rhodolite. As a pollution-free energy, it was once favored by the Galactic Republic. B11 is under the jurisdiction of the Chiyan Galaxy, but its location is too remote, and it takes three cosmic years to come here from the central administrative star.
Almost no one has come here since a certain mining company contracted it 170 years ago.
The water resources on the B11 star are very precious. Most of the area is composed of endless deserts and Gobi, scattered dry plants, and the ecosystems formed around these plants, of course, there are also miners on the planet. They were the first settlers, the first workers sent to the planet to mine rhodolite mines.
Under the dust and cyclone, the miners worked on the desert and stone mountains, mined the spar ore and a small amount of associated ore, and sold it to the commercial spacecraft that came to buy the ore from the commercial star at a low price.
"The sandstorm is coming!" The miners rang the bell vigorously and shouted: "Opal! Come back!"
The miners hid in the stone houses one after another. Opal gritted his teeth and dragged the car stuck in it from the sand and ran towards the hidden buildings.
In the morning, it was still a blue sky covered by sand, surrounded by endless gray, and the railroad tracks were covered by wind and sand. He stumbled to the door of his house, his nose full of sand. Opal turned the winch in front of the door with force, and the stone door slowly retreated in the sand gap. He pulled the trailer into the room, and then pushed the stone door with force. With a bang, it was dark.
When the lights came on, Opal took off his sackcloth work gloves, sat on the edge of the bed, and took off his boots to shake out the sand inside.
He has been a miner since he was twelve years old, and at sixteen this year, four years of sun exposure have given him a healthy patina on his long naked upper body, and high-intensity physical activity has given him a good workout.
The muscles of his arms and shoulders are as hard as iron, but not knotted. He is slender and lean, and his strength is greater than that of his peers, and his workload is also greater.
Opal is not a resident of this planet. His mother crash-landed here sixteen years ago in a small spaceship. Perhaps she arrived here, fell in love with a handsome miner and became pregnant with him, or just before landing. Already had him—he didn't know that at all. I only remember that when I was a child, there was a tall miner who treated himself and his mother very well, but did not live with them.
At that time, his mother, like the miners on this planet, wore hard hats and gloves every day to mine to earn money to support the family. Sometimes, she would hold him and look up at the bright stars on summer nights and tell him, "Opal, our My home is far away, and when the spacecraft is repaired, I can always go back."
However, before her wish was fulfilled, she and her miner boyfriend died in a mining accident, leaving not even a last word, whether it was about her spaceship or her hometown with Opal. Opal, who was only twelve years old, lost his mother and began to learn from his peers to support himself in the mines.
Occasionally, he would go to the open field of the red bedrock and look up at the stars in the clear night sky. His mother had been buried in the mine. He didn't even know which star she came from. The only thing left was her yearning for a planet that might be her hometown.
Opal divides the ores into different categories and puts them on the shelves. A small part of the pure ores can be exchanged for a lot of money, while the inferior ores are kept for backup and tinkering with some mechanical gadgets.
The wind and sand outside the door became more and more intense, as if there were thousands of boulders whizzing past the zenith. Opal sorted the ore, sat down at the table, flicked the switch with his fingers, and turned on a small robot on the table.
"E7, sift the ore." Opal flipped the switch on the robot, which his mother had designed.
There was a sound of electric current in the body of the small robot, green light was emitted from the radar screen on the chest, and a ray rotated in a circular trajectory, and began to screen the red spar brought back by Opal.
The radar screen showed a blob of light that took up almost the entire screen.
Opal: "?"
broken? Opal thought to himself and patted the little robot.
Didi Di-E7's head lit up with a huge red light. Opal was inexplicable. Suddenly, he heard a rumbling sound on the roof passing by. The sound had a sharp sonic boom, and in an instant, everything in the room was under the sound wave. It shook violently.
A silver-white light point dragged billowing black smoke across the high altitude of the mining area and flew towards the desert. The next moment, there was an earth-shattering explosion in the distance.
what happened! earthquake? Opal got up and didn't dare to move. He pressed the E7, which was almost overturned, and stopped for a few seconds.
What's going on outside? Opal went out with E7 in his arms. The sandstorm was smaller, and he could vaguely see the scene 50 meters away. He put E7 on the ground, the pocket robot beeped, turned backward, hit the wall, and fell down. .
"E7!" Opal said loudly against the wind and sand: "Energy detection! Go to the place with energy!"
He jumped into a minecart, put the E7 on the front of the car, followed its radar instructions, and drove deep into the desert in the sandstorm.
E7 doesn't seem to want to work in the storm circle. Opal kicked it lightly, and the little robot flipped a somersault on the sand. The arm supported the body awkwardly and stood firm. The rubber belt under the bottom ran slowly towards the desert go.
Di Di Di - E7 rotates the camera around, and the small green screen radar detection on the chest is turned on.
"It was there, I saw it!" said Opal. "Don't go back! Stay here!"
The red sand filled the sky, and a silver space escape capsule lay quietly in the desert. The parachute was blown off by the wind and flew into the distance. The explosion site was still there, and the gravel was burned into pitch-black crystals, showing a radioactive trail.
Opal approached the cabin door in surprise, and found that it was a very small rescue capsule. There was a man lying in the cabin, no, half a man.
The man was half naked, his body below the abdomen was completely destroyed, the rescue capsule was filled with light blue liquid, his mouth and nose were covered with a life-saving mask, and the blood was mixed in the nutrient solution and dispersed. The energy light next to the rescue cabin flashed and alarmed, and Opal saw the man's condition through the transparent cabin window.
He closed his eyes, motionless, the flesh and flesh of his lungs were like tattered cotton wool floating in the nutrient solution, and the blood became more and more filled with the liquid that filled the escape pod, dyeing it purple.
The life response was very weak. Opal noticed that the energy lamp stopped at 3%. His only thought was: this person is dying!
Opal took a few steps back, stared blankly at the man in the rescue capsule, then turned around and ran, got in the car and drove away.
After a full hour, Opal came back with a few energy storage batteries, and his heart was beating loudly. He connected the universal interface and bent under the rescue capsule to find the connector. The rescue capsule was integrated into one, Opal bent. The waist is touching the shell, and there is no place to charge it at all.
With a bang, a small box popped open from the outside of the bulkhead.
found it! Opal breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly realized that this thing is automatically turned on? Is the connector model correct
He straightened up and took a look inside the rescue capsule. The man still closed his eyes, with 5% of his life reaction remaining, so he couldn't possibly be manipulating it. what happened
Forget it, Opal plugged in the connector and charged the rescue capsule. The energy recovered to 27%, and the purple nutrient solution was much lighter. The blood seemed to be flowing back towards the man's body, and the life response gradually rose.
Opal watched for a while, guessing where this person came from, maybe a war forced him to land on this planet? Maybe he is a wanted criminal... Opal felt a sense of unease in his heart, what if he was a bad guy? However, things have been done, and he doesn't know if his decision is right or wrong.
Hope he gets better.
Opal took a few steps backwards and took the E7 home.
The sandstorm lasted for three full days. The weather was good and bad. Opal would take a short time every day to go to the depths of the desert to see the spacecraft.
The man's condition gradually improved. When I went to see him every day, the wounds showed signs of healing, and the destroyed limbs were gradually regenerating. It is incredible that such a serious injury can be cured. Opal thought that this nutrient solution should be a very special life support device. It keeps the blood alive, and when there is enough energy, it will be transported back to the injured person.
During this period, the Opal was recharged twice. When the last day came, it was found that the man's life response had recovered to 55%, and the light of the energy grid remained at 10%.
What's the meaning? Opal was puzzled and turned to leave. The weather turned fine, and this was the last day of the sandstorm. Just as he was getting on the minecart, the sound of metal disintegrating suddenly came from behind.
Opal turned his head blankly and found that the rescue capsule had disappeared! The man lay wet on the ground.
"Hey!" Opal turned and ran over and asked, "Are you alright!"
The adult man was fair-skinned, well-proportioned and strong, more handsome than any miner Opal had ever seen, with slender hands and feet, and well-built muscles, Opal couldn't help but marvel at his toned body, it was a perfect people.
However, his eyes were closed and he was still in a coma. Opal got into the car and wrapped him in a sackcloth, carried him into the car, and placed it in the back seat. He was half a head taller than Opal, and he was very heavy. Opal tried his nose - and breathing.
His chest was rising and falling slightly, and the wound was healed.
Three days later.
The dim light shone into the house, and the man who was brought home by Opal a few days ago opened his eyes, moved uncomfortably, touched the iron box above his head, and dumped the desert thorn red flowers and soil with a bang, making him completely woke up.
He jerked to his feet, the action stimulated him, and after a hysterical cough, he narrowed his eyes and began to recall what happened before he fell on the planet.
He remembered it, and began to look at the hut in the light of the evening. The overturned tin flowerpot fell to the ground, he carefully gathered it up, put it back on the crooked bedside table, sat down on a wooden chair, looked at the three-legged table, and On the other side, there are large rocks that are glued together.
There are a lot of crystal ore on the shelf. This is an ore planet. The man squinted and looked at the photos posted on the wall.
Sturdy woman in hard hat hugs child under ten and smiles at him in old yellowed photo.
The man got out of bed and noticed that there was his silver bracelet on the head of the bed, he put it on, took a linen cloth, and wrapped it around his waist as a long skirt, got up and walked around the small room.
The entire cabin is less than ten square meters, except for the bed, table, bedside table and storage rack, there is no more belongings.
The door rumbled open, and Opal came in with a large jug of water, and said happily, "Are you awake?"
The man looked up and said, "Hello, friend."
Opal put the water next to the bed: "I saw your spaceship dropped in the desert."
Opal talked about the discovery of the spaceship once, and asked casually, "Is it better? What's your name? How did you come here? You seem to have been seriously injured a few days ago, so take a rest."
The man was silent for a moment, then said, "Why did you save me?"
Opal couldn't say why he saved him. He looked at the man with a strange feeling.
An adult man is sitting beside the bed, his naked chest muscles, his shoulders and back have a kind of male strength and beauty, his light gray hair is not long, just covering his ears, his neck is clean and white, his nose is high and his eyes are clear.
His lips were very moist, and he suffered a little blood loss after six days of deep sleep and aggravated injuries.
Opal said: "No reason, I don't want to... watch you die. It's very dangerous, and I saved it subconsciously."
The grown man said, "You know that escape pods need energy?"
Opal said: "I guess, what if you leave it alone? Will it die?"
The grown man was silent for a moment, Opal sat down, sat beside him on the edge of the bed, thought about it, and then said, "I guess... uh, probably not. Maybe it will keep you asleep, how do you say that word? On? Yes, hibernate."
The adult man said: "It will die. The blood cells in the life-saving solution can only survive for seventy-two hours."
Opal had a lingering fear, the man was only a little bit dead.
The grown man turned his head to him and said, "My name is Recht, please keep it a secret for me."
Opal couldn't think of anything at all, nodded perfunctorily, and said, "Okay."
Rickett said: "Promise me, definitely."
Opal felt that this person was a little ungrateful, and he didn't even say thank you, but he wanted to save himself, so he couldn't say anything. Instead, he had a feeling of saving people to the end. After all, he had already survived. You can't drive him out.
"Definitely!" Opal replied: "Drink some water?"
Rickett was also very thirsty. He took the water jug handed by Opal and filled half of the bottle of water. Opal felt distressed and hurriedly said: "Save some water, there is only so much water in three days."
Rickett rubbed the corner of his mouth on his wrist, was silent for a moment, and asked, "Why do you have so many red grain spar?"
Opal said: "Sell for money, take it for fun."
Rickett asked: "Is there a spaceship nearby? Ordinary small near-ground ships are fine, Phoenix A-type or A12..."
Opal said blankly: "No, what is it? Is it the latest model?"
Rector: "A small shipping ship, Adventurer III, is there any?"
Opal shook his head.
Rector: "Water Blue Star's shuttle?"
Opal finally heard the term he knew, and smiled: "Is it this?"
He turned on the projector above the head of the little robot E7, and a light screen was opened inside. There was an advertisement on it - the navigation shuttle of the new era of the water blue planet, which can be used for land, water and air.
Ad from ten years ago, beautiful small two-person spaceship, with an endless indigo sea in the background.
Rickett rejoiced: "Yes, this is it, where is it? Take me there."
Opal: "No."
Rector: "… "
"I've only seen it once," said Opal.
Rector: "Where?"
Opal: "It's in the electronic holographic magazine, here. It was given to me by a merchant who came to the planet."
Rickett was completely convinced.
Opal took out a baguette, broke it in half, and handed the half to Recht, who was polite and ate it. The loaf was dry and rough, like he was swallowing sand. I couldn't help but drink water to swallow, but Opal chewed in small mouthfuls, and it took a long time to drink a mouthful of water.
"Water is precious," Recht said. "Why not live on another planet? You look good enough to find somewhere else to live."
Opal said, "Where? I haven't left my home planet."
As he spoke, he looked at the delicate silver bracelet on Rector's sturdy wrist. Rector undid the bracelet and asked, "This is your home planet? Do you like this?"
Opal said: "I don't want it, I'm curious to see it." He took it and looked at it for a while. The bracelet seemed to be made of a special material, it should be memory alloy, and he returned it to Rickett.
Rickett asked: "How does this place communicate with the central area of the Chiyan Galaxy?"
Opal: "Every other revolution year, there will be a spaceship to transport ore and sell it to the miners with the necessities of life."
Rector: "How many rotation days are the revolution period?"
Opal said: "More than a thousand, more than a thousand points."
Rickett glanced out the window and said, "A day is about twenty-five cosmic hours. Just now, the angle of the shadow has gone by two centimeters."
Opal nodded slowly and said, "You are quite good at observing."
Rickett couldn't eat it anymore, so he soaked the rest of the bread in a small glass of water and said, "Some planets have two suns, and some planets have six moons, rising in the west and setting in the east, do you want to? Get out of here and see the vast universe."
Opal said: "I... don't know where to go. People here can't leave at will, and the tickets are very expensive, very expensive."
Rector frowned suspiciously.
Opal shrugged and said, "A ferry ticket costs 100,000 energy units of spar."
Rickett said: "What age is it, why is the energy unit still used as the currency conversion standard."
Opal was a little confused and asked, "Otherwise what?"
Rickett suddenly realized something and asked alertly, "This is a slave planet in disguise, am I right?"
Opal said: "No." He remembered that a long time ago, a scholar who got on and off an interstellar spacecraft for assessment, vaguely said this word, and asked: "What is a slave planet?"
Rickett said solemnly, "I understand."
Opal looked at him inexplicably, and Recht said, "The interstellar slave has been abolished, and the owner of this planet will be brought to the cosmic court."
Opal heard too many unfamiliar terms and did not know how to answer for a while, and asked: "What does slave mean, miners like us?"
Recht was silent for a long time without answering his question, and finally said, "I have to get out of here."
Opal said, "Where are you going? Do you have a spaceship?"
Rickett said, "No, but I have to live in a different place tomorrow, so as not to cause you unnecessary trouble. My opponent is very dangerous and may come after this planet."
Opal felt a sudden shock in his heart, remembering the injury on his body when he first saw Rickett, Rickett seemed to know what he was thinking, and said casually: "But at least it's safe now, you sleep, sorry, took up your bed."
Opal hurriedly said: "No no, you sleep, your injury is not healed yet."
Opal packed up his things, laid a cloth on the floor, lay down and closed his eyes, Rector asked in the dark, "Is your mother in the picture?"
Opal hummed, and Rector asked again, "Where is she? Can I talk to her?"
Opal said: "Died during the mine accident."
Rickett: "Where's your father?"
Opal said, "I don't know who it is."
In the quiet night, the carefree Opal gradually fell asleep.
