Water Blue Star is one of the registered members of the Star Alliance. It is within the jurisdiction of the Republic, but maintains its own independence. It revolves around a white dwarf star with a period of 2.5 cosmic years, and the rotation time is very short, only 13 cosmic hours.
The name of the star system is μ-27. The white dwarf is called "Chandrasekhar", and when it evolved from a red giant to a white dwarf, the surrounding planets have all escaped.
Sometime hundreds of millions of years ago, a comet carrying a large amount of solid water flew from the depths of the universe towards Chandrasekhar, its fate would eventually be swallowed by the white dwarf, but at this moment, Another comet flew toward the star system from a more distant location.
These two comets collided in the gravitational field of Chandrasekhar. This is an extremely unlikely collision that occurred in the 20 billion years after the formation of the universe. If you want to describe it with specific numbers, this probability will be after the decimal point, Add ninety-three zeros.
The two comets collided and fused together, changing their respective trajectories and orbiting the white dwarf at a rapid rate.
In that distant past, if anyone could observe it with his own eyes, he would be amazed at the wonders and mysteries of the universe.
The two comets and ice blocks became the only planet in this star system, Shui Lan, and its orbital distance was just close enough that the large amount of ice carried on the comet melted at the temperature of the white dwarf, and gave birth to strange life in the water. body.
And this orbital distance is just far enough away that the water doesn't melt and escape under the heat of the white dwarf. It just became a thin water film covering the core.
Water blue star is the only planet in the universe, the surface of which is completely covered by water, and the outer layer is wrapped with an atmosphere produced by cyanobacteria photosynthesis, and the oxygen content is 30.5%.
The high temperature and low luminosity of the white dwarf make the light here not strong, but it is like summer all year round. The gravitational force of the stars produces strange tides, a 100-meter-high spike formed by a seawater that always faces Chandrasekhar, the center of the star system, and moves around the equator with a cycle of exactly one year.
Aquamarine is like a drop of water with a core wrapped around it. In the year of Light Era 10337, humans discovered this place and established the Stargate. When the first group of pioneers landed on the water blue star, they were shocked by the beauty and wonder of this water world. They built hundreds of space stations around this big water polo, using the heat energy of the white dwarf as the first energy source, and then from the sea water. Tritium is extracted for production.
Humans have created thousands of suspended islands on the sea of Aquamarine, cultivated the planet's unique green algae, and provided them to the Empire and the Republic, equipped on every spaceship.
The ocean technology of Mercury is unique in the universe. The Republic and the Empire once wanted to annex it, but the leaders of this planet firmly rejected the proposal of complete belonging. The human immigrants have formed their own political system. After the referendum, they are unwilling to belong to it. any regime.
[There is the most expansive and boundless sea here. Human immigrants have performed a small operation in their genes. Thousands of years later, their respiratory organs have gills, and skin cells have become suitable for living in seawater.] Opal has a very complicated feeling towards the star map, like reading a person's diary, although only a few lines of words, but it seems to follow behind him, walking through these planets with him.
After entering the country, all alien tourists received a wristband at the space station, and Opal said, "No way, do you want to go into the water?"
Raymond immersed himself in examining the wristband, clasped it on his stout wrist, waved casually at Opal, and said, "It's strange that you pay a deposit?"
There were too many people entering, and Opal and Raymond were squeezed by the crowd and walked out involuntarily, leaving the vast sea outside the high-altitude apron thousands of miles above the sea.
"God..." Opal saw such a magnificent sight for the first time. He had never seen this vast ocean with his own eyes since he was a child. When standing on the edge of the tarmac and looking at the vast sea horizon, the first thought was to think of Recht's spiritual world - the endless sea.
In front of the sky and the sea, the sound of birdsong bursts, and under the sky with scattered white clouds, there are countless strange blue bubbles floating in the sky.
The bubbles are like huge floating islands, covered with blue-green plants. Birds sometimes settle among the plants and slowly move with the floating islands.
"What is that?" Opal asked.
"The unique creature of the water blue star." Raymond looked down at the travel charter and said, "The flying sea jellyfish maintains life through the transparent light-harvesting cells in the body." Opal noticed that a flying sea jellyfish was passing by more than ten meters away. A cyclone erupted from the bottom of it, propping up a huge body.
"Let's go." Raymond checked the wristbands of the two.
"Have you been here?" Opal asked.
Raymond nodded and said, "When I first became a mercenary, my first task was to come here to find someone... Let me think about it, I have to rent a water blue shuttle."
Opal's eyes always followed the strange creatures on the sea, and when he heard the word, he suddenly said: "Water blue flying shuttle?!"
"Water blue shuttle!!" Opal said.
"Yes, the water blue shuttle." Raymond said.
Opal: "Water blue flying shuttle!!"
Raymond: "Why are you so excited! Are you crazy?"
Opal opened the E7 almost incoherently and said, "Is that so? You see?"
"Yes yes yes." Raymond couldn't help laughing and crying: "Is it weird? Small sightseeing for two people, three-use airship... This is an advertisement from thirty years ago, E7! Turn off your projection! This is very shameful!"
Opal was about to faint, and his dream on the B-11 star, when he stayed in that narrow, dark room, was to sit in this shuttle and fly on the boundless sea.
At that time, he was amazed that there was such a place in the holographic projection advertisement of E7! ! How can there be so much water anywhere in the world! !
Later, his mother told him it was called "Ocean", so Opal wrote it down, and he never thought that he would take this kind of transportation one day in his life.
Opal walks into the second-level apron, and in front of it is a huge platform covering an area of nearly 1,000 square kilometers. There are tens of millions of blue water shuttles parked on it. The sightseeing boats landed, and more sailed.
His eyes reflected the magnificent view.
Opal: "… "
Raymond said seriously: "Deputy head, you need to calm down. Oh, sorry, he's fine, he's just too excited."
It took Opal a long time to calm down the passionate blood in his heart. Raymond took Opal to rent a car. As soon as Opal opened his mouth, Raymond immediately said, "Don't talk, keep quiet."
Everyone around looked at Opal with the eyes of a country bumpkin. Raymond bought two bottles of deep-sea sparkling wine and algae cheese, rented a two-seater blue shuttle, and flew on the sea, dragging a white wave. .
The water blue flying shuttle has a very romantic nickname on this planet - the love of the sea breeze.
At the beginning, it was specially designed for couples. The cabin was just enough to accommodate two people, and the facilities were in place. The positions of the driver and the co-pilot were placed together. Opal turned sideways and leaned on Raymond honestly. shoulder.
With a smile on his lips, Raymond pressed a button and put one hand on Opal's shoulder.
The cabin window opened, the water blue flying shuttle slowed down, and the sea breeze with water vapor blew, and the love of the sea breeze rose again.
Raymond: "… "
Raymond adjusted the height, the shuttle made a sharp left turn, and threw Opal, who was lying by the window, and fell into Raymond's arms.
"Hey hey hey! What are you doing!" Opal yelled.
Raymond changed the course, the shuttle slowly descended to the sea surface, but did not sink into the water, and moved forward slowly against the sea water, carrying floating and sinking, and undulating with the waves.
Opal said: "What? Are you looking for an employer now?"
"It's nothing." Raymond smiled and said: "There's still a lot of time. I'll take you for a ride, isn't it the first time?"
The skylight of Sea Breeze Love lowered and turned into a small boat.
Opal was lying on the side of the cockpit, leaning on Raymond's thigh, looking at the clear blue sky and large white clouds above his head, heaved a sigh of relief, and swayed his feet on the side of the ship.
Raymond put his arms behind his head, adjusted the seat back, and whistled leisurely.
Several seabirds flew over and stopped at the bow.
"I will retire in the future." Opal said: "You can come and live here."
Raymond smiled and said, "Why are you so fond of the old? Last time you said you wanted to go to Rembrandt for retirement."
Opal said: "Rembrandt is nothing compared to Aquamarine!"
Raymond said: "And Green Mercury. The three most beautiful planets in the universe, Shui Lan, Green Water, and Female Luo Xing."
Opal narrowed his eyes, and the sun shone on him with a sense of laziness. The transparent sea mother passed the ceiling above them, and a gentle wind blew.
The waves rustled and neither of them spoke. After a long time, Opal fell asleep.
The transparent window of Love of the Sea Breeze was closed, and the surroundings gradually dimmed. Opal slept very comfortably. After an unknown amount of time, Raymond said, "Hey, work."
Opal became dazed and stretched, and the scene around him had changed. In the deep blue seabed, there were large groups of luminous objects covering the top of his head, like stars shining brightly in the sky. With the sparkling fish swimming around, Opal realized that he had entered the sea, and lowered his head to adjust his wrist guards.
A layer of very faint white light appeared around the two of them. This was a special light field oxygen suit made by Shui Lanxing, which would not hinder the movement and was very convenient. The seawater is filtered by the outer layer conversion function, and the oxygen enters the protective compartment about one centimeter away from the body to provide breathing.
"Get out of the car." Raymond said, "try to get used to it."
Opal tried to walk a few steps on the undersea tarmac, only to feel that the sound he heard was very characteristic. Water is the sound guiding medium. Compared with air, the human voice has become very strange. The light field diving suit will automatically adjust the buoyancy and current resistance, which is similar to that on the ground, like a planet with little gravity.
Opal said: "It's really interesting."
Raymond opened the mercenary diary, shot a projection, the light screen rippled in the water, and said, "Go to the Ocean Heart Hotel to find the employer first... Buy a bunch of purple enchantresses. Don't run around, come back. Come here and follow the road signs. "
Opal walked forward along the road of broken shells paved on the seabed, the pupils reflected the luminous bodies suspended in the air, and found that they were a kind of fluorescent plants, some floating slowly, some sinking from the sea, they It collects sunlight from ten meters above the sea and sinks, bringing light to the bottom of the sea.
Raymond motioned Opal to get on the water blue shuttle, and drove the car to the edge of the platform. There was a huge pipe, and the hole was sealed with brilliant light. The two drove in, and the sea slammed back and returned to the dry area.
"Who are those people?" Opal asked.
Outside the pipe, a group of indigo-blue humanoids with webbed hands and feet quickly swam past, and a female smiled and waved to them, swimming away like a siren.
The water blue shuttle stopped in the central hangar, and Raymond got out of the car, put the mechanical axe on his back, and said, "I am a native of Water Blue Star. If you want to hang out on the bottom of the sea, you still have a lot of time. Go to the employer first."
The construction of submarine pipelines for tourists to play extends in all directions. After all, many alien visitors do not like to soak in seawater for a long time, and most of them choose to enter the dry area to rest. Almost all places are transparent, and every time you walk, you can see the beautiful bottom of the sea, the coral is thriving, and the manta rays spread their six-meter-long wings and pass over their heads.
Opal bought a bunch of purple enchantresses, and soon realized that something was wrong: "You take this flower..."
Raymond said blankly: "No, you take it, this is the order of the head of the regiment."
Opal said: "That's enough!"
The purple enchantress waved her kelp-like leaves and looked very irritable when she left the water. She kept extending the sucker-like stamens to suck Opal's face. Pull off the neck.
Raymond went to the door of the hotel room where his employer was staying and rang the doorbell, and the little robot came to open the door.
A young man said: "You are finally here! My mercenary! Very good! Come so early!"
Raymond said: "Hello, Mr. Ban, we are the Smoke and Sword mercenary group, check your identity first..."
Opal was still fighting with the purple enchantress, his nose was sucked, and the stamens spewed red mucus, which looked like a nosebleed.
"I knew you would come!" Ban Dao said, "Please help me by all means, and see the little Jiejie I've been thinking about..."
Raymond: "… "
Opal stepped on the Purple Enchantress behind them, trying to keep her suckers off her thighs.
Ben: "His smile is like a dream, you know I know him, I meet him every night in a dream machine of fantasy movements... He's like my family..."
Raymond: "… "
Opal finally got rid of the Purple Enchantress, slamming it against the wall angrily with a comical splash of liquid.
"Love is a puff of smoke blown by a sigh, procrastination, time goes by, twelve beautiful plants, please come and kiss me..."
Raymond: "Cough, do you have a topographic map?"
Ban: "I believe he loves me deeply too, what do you think?"
Opal: "When will the concert start?"
Raymond: "Tomorrow night, when there will be a lot of people, we have to start the investigation ahead of time."
Opal: "Mr. Employer, please calm down first..."
Ban: "Do you know love?"
Opal: "He shouldn't kiss you!"
Ban: "You don't know what love is at all!"
Raymond: "… "
Opal: "… "
Raymond said: "We will try our best, but there is no guarantee that we will get everything you want, the best case is... let you be alone with him for a short time, and the rest is up to you to find a way. "
Ben walked around the room, murmuring to himself in excitement: "Even if you don't come, I will try my best to meet him, he will definitely meet me, I know he will…"
Raymond and Opal, with a black line, closed the door and came out.
"Go and investigate the backstage and lounge of the Azurite Throne first." Raymond pondered for a moment: "Look for a possible breakthrough route. At that time, we will have three tickets, including the toilet, the electronic dressing room and the changing room. Compare with his program list. , try to resolve this issue before the opera begins."
They boarded the speeding car in the pipeline. The water blue star has a well-developed tourism industry, and the seabed is full of sealed pipelines. After leading to the Azurite Throne in the middle of the sea, Opal realized that he had really underestimated Ledgerson's pomp.
Before the performance began, the ring theater was already under control. The key players of each planet had special seats. The theater covers an area of nearly 800,000 square meters and is divided into sixteen floors. The suspended seats are in order from special to seventeen. arrangement. Every three or four steps outside, there are super guard robots guarding the three-use water, land and air. It is simply an iron wall.
Opal and Raymond were standing outside the safe area eating fresh fish and hot dogs, while they looked at the entire venue. There were tourists everywhere, and many people took pictures outside the posters. Household robots, humans, and intelligent life from various planets were in the venue. There was a long queue outside.
"Can E7 solve the security system?" Raymond asked.
Opal: "I think it's a bit mysterious... If the wrench can do this, he doesn't need to be a mercenary."
Under Opal's instruction, Didi approached the side door, like a little bit in front of the super security robot, the other party turned on the red light, warning it to go back.
E7 murmured radio waves, was electrocuted by the big robot, and ran away with smoke.
Opal said: "No."
"How about going in from above?" Raymond motioned him to look overhead. The Azurite Throne was fifty meters high, with the top protruding from the sea level. The skylight should be in contact with the air on the sea surface.
Opal said: "There should be guards too..."
It's hard to do, Raymond said, "Then it'll have to be tomorrow..."
Opal suddenly said: "No, I have a solution. Wrap it on me."
He noticed that several robots in high places were installing the projection stand outside the theater, so he asked Raymond to take E7 to Gate 5 to prepare. He bowed and hid behind a pile of iron boxes, staring at the 30-meter-high diagonally opposite. place.
The engineering robot is going to install twelve new projectors there to project a giant holographic advertisement before the concert starts tomorrow. The metal solution ray machine is suspended in mid-air above the ground, and it emits a cast-film sonic resonance towards the weld.
"What do you want to do?" Raymond's voice came from the earbuds.
Opal did not answer, the distance was very far, and he was not too sure.
He took a deep breath, pushed his hands diagonally forward, left and right palms facing each other, closed his eyes, and twisted towards the heights.
The metal fusion machine suspended in the air turned around lightly, and the ray swept to a guard robot guarding the No. 4 gate. It immediately turned into a puddle of molten iron, crackling with electricity, and then the battery blew up, blasting its partner out with a bang.
That alerted the machine guards at several nearby doors, and the surrounding robots gathered there one after another. E7 galloped toward the theater's door 5, stuck to the ground, found the control screen next to the safe passage, stabbed the data cable in, and cracked it after a while. independent safety door lock.
Opal's figure swept away, and the two flashed into the safe passage behind the robot.
It was pitch black inside, E7 released light, Opal said, "This way!"
The two hid in a slit in the innermost part, and Raymond and Opal were clinging to each other, not daring to let out a sound. Outside, a patrol robot swept the lights and passed through the passage.
After the robot passed, Opal and Raymond came out. Raymond stood on the inside of the deep passage and looked at the red light screen floating on the wall. That is the map for emergency retreat in the event of danger.
"Come this way, fast!" Raymond said: "Go around on the left, and the exit is the side door of the twelfth-class seats."
The two ran fast, with very light footsteps. After running for a while, there was a dead end at the end.
Raymond pushed the door forward, locked it, and didn't move.
"Go from above!" Opal said: "There are vents."
Raymond used a long-handled mechanical axe to open the channel skylight, and the two of them climbed a considerable distance one after the other, and saw a light shining from below.
"It was locked from the outside." Raymond said, "Can the E7 be opened?"
Opal put the E7 behind the lattice window, and the E7 stretched out a bunch of tools and went around the vent to unscrew the safety screw. The moment the last screw was sucked away by the magnetic knife, Raymond immediately reached out and grabbed the metal window. One rolled over and landed on the auditorium, making a soft sound.
Immediately afterwards, Raymond stretched his foot down and stepped on Opal's back, causing him to fall again.
Opal: "!"
Raymond made a "shh" and pulled him to his feet. The two stood in the theater, and they realized that they had underestimated the size of the venue.
There are rows of seats all around, with an area of 800,000 square meters. The sky light on the top of the blue crystal throne is sprinkled with white light everywhere, like a holy place.
They stood in the middle of the seats, two little black dots.
A human voice came, it was Ledson's voice.
Ledgerson: "...the water polo will spread out layer by layer, the resonance of the chest cavity will pass through the air, and finally into the water, I promise it will be an unforgettable experience..."
The woman's voice: "Dear prince, I never thought you would be willing to try these gills..."
Ledgerson: "Aha, it's just a small operation to get this unforgettable opportunity. I personally think it's worth it... Jasmine?"
The girl's voice said, "You should rest a little longer. It will take ten hours or so after the operation to fully get used to it."
Opal stuck his head out and looked around. The people on the stage were all black dots, and it was impossible to tell who was who, but the voice was exceptionally clear, as if it was echoing in his ears.
"Go down?" Opal asked.
Raymond couldn't make up his mind and said, "This way."
The two bowed and hid behind the seats, using the backrest to cover them all the way down and approached a little. The center of the stage was still talking, as if there were many people discussing tomorrow's concert.
"God." Opal whispered: "It seems that they are all amazing guys."
Raymond was obviously also a little nervous, and the people in the center of the stage could see more clearly. There were about ten people in total, and the most conspicuous was of course the opera prince Ledgerson. His outfit was not exaggerated in the slightest—a white shirt that was ironed to a slim fit, with a graceful waistline, a pair of casual trousers, and his splendid blond hair was like the golden fire of heaven in the sun.
Next is a… female in military uniform. Maybe a female is more suitable to describe her, her hair is very long and her skin is blue, she should be a water blue star.
Ledgerson: "Rou, what do you think?"
The blue banshee thought for a moment, then smiled, "I guarantee they'll think it's a novelty..."
Raymond whispered: "She is the leader of Shui Lanxing, Admiral Rou. It is said that she is a strong person no less than Azeroth."
Opal remembered the Wrench's lecture, and it seemed that she had mentioned one of the top mechas in the universe a long time ago.
"Where's the little girl?" Opal motioned to Raymond to look at the girl standing next to Ledgerson in the center of the stage.
The girl was wearing a slim white dress and her hair was soft brown, as if she had a good relationship with Ledgerson.
Raymond shook his head blankly, and Opal said, "I heard Ledgerson call him Jasmine just now, hello, look at that man."
On the edge of the stage, not too far from them, sat a man.
He had three earrings pierced into his ears, his hair stood up like a thorn, and he looked nonchalant. With a cigarette in his mouth and a big sword on his back.
The weapon of the big sword is very similar to that of Opal. This is the first time that Opal has seen a person who uses the same kind of weapon as himself.
Raymond said, "Who is he? Do you know him?"
Opal shook his head: "His big sword is similar to mine, but he is offensive. Both edges are sharp. I am defensive... One edge is sharp, and the blunt blade is used for defense and hitting..."
A voice came from behind, and Raymond immediately said: "Hide, hurry up."
The two turned over and hid under the auditorium at the same time. A robot scanned the seats line by line. On the stage, Ledgerson was still talking to Rou, but the girl called Jasmine beside him found something and walked off the stage, heading towards the robot and the work. People come.
"What's the matter?" Jasmine asked.
The person in charge said: "There is a little accident outside, I am afraid that someone will sneak in and eavesdrop."
The man jumped off the stage, smoking a cigarette, and following behind Jasmine, the three stopped on the aisle beside the auditorium where Opal and Raymond were hiding.
Man: "Go back, leave it to us here."
Jasmine said, "Who is 'us' with you?"
Ledgerson said, "What's the matter, Urka?"
The man named Urka shrugged, the person in charge left, Jasmine glanced at him, turned and returned to the stage. The Prince of the Opera and Admiral Rou continued to talk, Urka stood up, stepped on the front seat, and sat down in the row where Opal and Raymond were hiding.
The two turned their heads and saw Urka's boots on the ground, shaking casually.
Opal: "… "
Opal made a fighting gesture, his eyebrows moved, and he pointed to the outside, motioning me to lead him away, you took the opportunity to run away. Raymond shook his palm, signaling not to mess around.
Opal thought for a while, closed his eyes, radiated the power of belief, and tried to influence the person sitting above his head... Let him get up and leave.
He didn't know if this method was effective, he just concentrated his mind and repeated in his mind, Urka, get up, go away, get out of here.
Urka moved uneasily, and Ledgerson's voice in the distance stopped abruptly, abruptly, and there was a brief embarrassment.
Ledgerson said, "Oh dear soft, I think I might have to go back to rest...for a while."
Rou: "Are you uncomfortable?"
Ledgerson: "It's okay, just..."
Rou: "I'll ask the doctor to visit you."
Ledgerson glanced at Urka in the stands and said casually, "Then, thank you very much, and I look forward to everything going well tomorrow."
The people on the stage dispersed, Jasmine followed Ledgerson away, Urka's feet stopped shaking, and after half a minute, Urka said, "Come out, where is the thief?"
A hand stretched out from under the seat, and Urka instantly turned around, with a sword-like pestle on the ground, Raymond turned it out silently, the mechanical axe was swung from behind, and Urka swung the big sword, When, when two strikes hit Mars and four bursts, Opal joined the fray immediately, Urka had already expected that with one hand, the mechanical sword would be split into two!
Urka's left-hand female sword resisted Raymond's mechanical axe, and the right-hand sub-sword swept away, and slammed into Opal with incredible force, holding a large sword in each hand like a fan. Casually, with ease.
Raymond said: "Run!"
Opal and Raymond fought and retreated, but Urka put away his weapon, drank a cigarette, and smiled.
More than a dozen super security robots surrounded them, and focused rays shot from all directions, all of which landed on Opal and Raymond. As long as they were shot, they would be smashed into pieces.
