Chapter 31

Opal and Raymond opened a double room in the hotel. Opal connected the terminal to the Ares local area network. The construction of liexing's information website was not as developed as that of the Republic of China. On the one hand, the weekly magnetic storm limited the signal transmission problem with the Star Alliance Internet. On the other hand, young and strong mercenaries were supporting their families, with few dead houses.

However, the number of people on the magnetic storm rest day increased sharply, the mercenary forum was noisy, and the entertainment hall was full of people playing virtual games. In the annular light screen is a blue star map. Opal participated in a simulated star war and drove his spaceship to and fro.

The scoreboard jumped at full speed, the sound of the radio waves rustled, and the strange voice roared: "wrench! You've got a goddamn cheating device

With a cry of "Yo Ho" from opal, he manipulated a small fighter to land on the galaxy carrier of the Republic. He went around, and dense light bombs came from behind, which sank his fighter.

"Wrench!" Opal said angrily, "you sneak on me!"

"Little ou -" Lily's voice said with a smile, "I recognize you, this time it's me --"

a slightly familiar voice said, "hold your ground." ——That's Rosen's voice.

Opal screamed, "no! You bully recruits

"What a recruit!" The man said in a stern voice, "go to the line and get ready to join the fight again!"

Opal suddenly recognized that it was the voice of the drillmaster gray wolf, and immediately said, "I'll go and get some help!"

Opal drew up his screen and said, "Raymond, come and join the Imperial War."

Raymond lay on the bed with two forks, his feet in white socks moving, his arms resting, and he said, "no, you play."

Opal said, "what are you thinking? About Sid? "

Ramon did not agree. Squinting, opal turned over and got out of bed to say something. Ramon raised his leg and gave him a kick. He gently kicked him back to bed and said, "play your empire war."

Opal has to continue to play his video games, in the virtual world, regardless of size, mercenaries choose camp, divided into two teams, one team invades the territory of the Republic, the other team defends.

This virtual game is a global Internet platform technology bought by Azeroth with a huge sum of money. It can be participated by mercenaries up to s level and restaurant owners. Different people can play different roles in it.

"What do you think?" The voice of the gray wolf in the communicator said in a loud voice: "be serious! Don't be distracted! Give Rosen some color to see

The leader of the attacking side is the gray wolf, while the leader of the defensive side is Rosen. There are more and more people. Tens of millions of people have been added to the whole star battlefield. After talking with the temporary team members, opal found that the gray wolf and Rosen are S-level mercenaries!

At the top of the pyramid of the land of mercenaries, Azeroth's six "S-class" superpowers are left behind. The command and tactics of the gray wolf were simply marvelous. It was the first time that opal took part in the space star battle. The small warships were all over the world and the formation changed rapidly.

Opal was not on guard and was defeated again. This time, he did not rush to join the battlefield. Instead, he chose the ghost mode to view the whole u-star attack and defense campaign from the observation tower. The command of the gray wolf is like an art in the dark universe, while the space magnetic defense array constructed by six planets is Rosen's Hero stage. Tens of thousands of strange soldiers joined the war and died in an instant. They turned into dust in space. There was a heavy sense of the boundlessness of the world and the moment of life and death.

The battle fell into a sticky state. Opal was dizzy and distended. He shut down the local area network temporarily. Raymond was still sleeping in bed.

"Hello." Opal lay down beside Raymond. Raymond opened his eyes and saw that the screen was off, so he didn't drive him away. They were lying side by side. Opal said, "what do you want to eat? I'm going to buy food. "

Ramon said, "whatever. I'm going to take Sid's job."

"What made you change your mind?" opal said in surprise

Ramon said absentmindedly, "try it. It's no loss, isn't it? Let's apply to the trade union for arbitration first, and then apply for the special entrustment of the employer to let Sid add a clause with no risk of breach of contract. "

"OK," opal said

Raymond nodded and opal said, "I'll tell him now."

Raymond got up quickly and said, "no, wait a minute. We need to be well prepared."

When Opal went to buy food, Ramon turned on the Internet and began to collect information about M97.

Mercenary star is not the most timely and abundant planet in the Star Alliance, but it is the most practical place for information. In tens of thousands of years, too many places in the universe have left footprints of mercenaries. Where are dangerous, where can we take a shortcut, and where we can't get close to them. These are information exchanged with blood from the edge of life and death.

Opal and Raymond crowded side by side on the bed to eat and watch. The information outside the nebula is dazzling. There are three living planets, then tens of millions of stars and asteroids. Each star is completely different. The planets are also full of strange things, such as nitro, methane, heavy water, uranium, radium, and molecular variants and compounds between various elements Screens.

"It's not where we're going yet." Said opal.Raymond: I know. Go back to the center

There are two dark regions in the swirling M97 nebula. Opal pushes the touch screen aside with his finger, pulls through another picture and says, "this is an unknown place. The nearest gate is 17000 astronomical units away."

They looked for a while. In the powdery nebula, one of the dark spots led to a red line, with the remark "ingredient unknown".

Opal said: "strange, what is the star gate built here?"

Raymond thought for a moment and said, "who knows? Maybe the Empire had a plan to open up wasteland, and because of something, it was put on hold What do you think is in it

Opal said, "I'm not sure. It could be a black hole, or a few neutron stars It could also be a puff of gas Or nothing. "

"Guess." Raymond leisurely way, he got up to pour the coffee in the pot: "guess casually."

"I hope it's not a black hole." Looking at the darkness, opal murmured, "we need all the information we can find about this area, including the surrounding life planets, the construction and development history of the Stargate, and the express list of the spark express company It includes what kind of goods they deliver, and the origin and identity of the guest. "

"Split up." Ramon said, "I'll go to the boy and go to the Republic if necessary."

The relationship between the member states of Star Alliance is very complicated. In theory, as long as the country that belongs to is registered in Star Alliance and becomes one of the Member States, the ID card can pass through without obstruction.

The pre light era nationality system has been abolished, and the star status on the ID card only represents birth and entry to the planet. The relationship between the mercenary state, the Republic and the Empire has changed in recent years. The two men have been together for a long time. Raymond first went to the trade union to issue a certificate, while opal went to the information center to inquire about all the contents of M97.

After the geomagnetic storm day, opal found out the list of mercenary regiments that had been there and learned about the situation one by one, while Raymond drove his spaceship to the Republic. After two days of preparation, I finally met in the hall of sunshine city.

Hearing their plan, Sid nodded gratefully and said nothing. Instead, he went to change the content of the entrustment - the special commission, which was aimed at the Yan and sword mercenary Corps. Both sides signed a certificate to confirm that there was no connection before the mission. This is the anti cheating mechanism of the country of mercenaries. In order to avoid the entrustment of acquaintances, the mercenary regiment can be promoted quickly with money.

The task was adjusted according to their e-level mercenary regiment. The monetary reward remained unchanged at 250000 credit points. The trade union drew 20% and 50000 yuan. The score is 240 individual points and 118 team points.

Raymond closed the mercenary's diary and came out, saying, "go to sort out the news first, and leave this afternoon."

Sid said, "I'll go with you."

Opal and Raymond immediately said in the same voice: "no way!"

Opal: "we don't have the ability to protect you."

Raymond: don't make a mess of it

"But I've been there for nearly two space years, and I've searched a lot of areas that are marked out on my ship's map for me to follow, and I can see the way," Sid said

Opal said, "give us the chart, you can't..."

Sid insisted, "I will not hinder you! I can recognize my dad. Can you at least let me have a look at it? I can do the logistics for you, drive the spaceship, my spacesuit is for you, you don't need to buy any more! "

Opal was really vexed by him. The three men discussed at the door for a moment. At last, Raymond only said, "you must swear that you will stay on the ship at any time, and you can't come out without our permission."

In the tarmac, Sid brought out the living materials he could use, including some weapons. After Raymond screened them, he carried the useful materials to era VI.

"Sid!" On the side of the tarmac, drive over quickly.

"Quick Sid laughed.

Xun: "did anyone pick it up? I'm packed. Why are you two again

Opal:

Quick said: "forget it, let's go." He picked up a bag and walked towards the spaceship. Opal's hair exploded in an instant and said, "Hello! Is there something wrong with you? "

"I promised Sid to help him find his father," Xun said! What would you do? I don't want to go on a mission with the two of you

Opal: "who wants to go out with whom! Who was beaten by rubbish last time! This is my ship! Hello! Don't touch it! Warning you

Sid said, "quick, wait, thank you."

Opal impolitely took Sid's collar, pulled him over, pressed him against the back door of the spaceship, and said, "I don't care what you promised him, I'll send him away right away. I'll go now!"

When Opal got into the ship, there was a quick and loud question and Sid's explanation in a low voice. Xun always had a strong tone. Neither opal nor Raymond liked him. Sid was scolded bloody, the two voices gradually away.

Raymond shook his head and chuckled, then waited for a moment. Sid came in, closed the door of the ship, and with a half smile in his mouth, opal steered the ship off."Exchange information." "What's the conclusion?" opal said

Raymond said: "there is nothing unusual about spark express. It's a very common private industry. The customer of this list is a man in his two hundred years old, named Yasui, who is going to deliver a suitcase to the black ant planet in the spiral arm of M97. According to the express sheet backup, it's a plant growth agent. "

"How did you get this information?" opal said

Raymond: "I asked in the past according to the contact provided by Sid. There were his father's former colleagues on the planet

Sid nodded, "as far as I know."

Opal said, "you just went for a tour to see the scenery."

Raymond said, "I've brought you a specialty! Don't forget it

Opal said in a hurry, "take it out and let me have a look."

Raymond took out a bag of gray city star's specialty from his backpack. It was a pie made of gray fruit. Sid said with a smile, "this taste is very good. There are a lot of these fruits planted in my hometown."

Opal stopped talking about him. The three men made tea and began to eat the sandwich pie. Raymond said: "it looks like a very ordinary express list. Plant plants on the black ant star. If this is the case..."

"What if the inside story is unusual?" opal interrupted

Raymond said, "then just go It's been investigated on black ants

Raymond's eyes were clear, and opal understood almost at the same time. This is actually an accident, the cause is very common, the accident is also very common, even if we try our best, we can't think of any special loopholes.

But they didn't say anything, so as not to make Sid have any idea. It was very cruel.

After a brief awkward silence, opal said, "I asked the mercenaries who had been on duty there. There are several people who have been there. They said that there are three life planets, none of which are inhabited by human beings. There are many strange life bodies living there. Among them, there are strange insects on one planet, and there are biological spouts on the buttocks They were able to leave the atmosphere and fly in the universe. They once attacked two other planets and were defeated by the monsters of the two planets respectively Forgive me. I've always had a headache with history. "

"It's almost the same as Sid's message," Raymond said. "You're just inviting veterans to drink and chat."

"I don't mind if you insist," opal said

Raymond: --

That is to say, they worked for half a day without any meaningful information. So they stopped talking about pie.

"Oh, yes." Opal thought of something again and squinted: "I applied to retrieve all the open commission information, and one of them also made a commission in M97."

Raymond raised his eyebrows, which means: so?

"The man's rank and content are already on sale in the union, and the name is a question mark: '?'," opal said

Raymond: is that strange? If he's dead in the war or no longer a mercenary... "

Opal: "no, the victim's name is still there, even if the file has been sold. After leaving the trade union, the name and deeds can also be preserved."

Raymond: "suppose this person gets a new job and doesn't want his identity information to be found, he can also choose to hide his name..."

Opal: "if you apply for concealment by yourself, you will see" not viewable "in the column of the person's name, not a question mark."

Raymond: --

Opal: feeling like a game of reasoning

Raymond: that's enough. What do you want to say

Opal shrugged and said: "I just feel a little strange. I continue to search along the relevant content of the question mark person, and I find that there are pagination. All the tasks performed by the guy whose name is the question mark can be found in the brain content of the trade union database."

Raymond narrowed his eyes slightly and began to notice something strange. He said, "so, in the commission he took over, the name is also a question mark? His name is a question mark

"No Opal looked into Raymond's eyes and murmured, "all his tasks have been deleted, not hidden, but completely deleted. The exploration content of M97 nebula is no longer in the Commission record, but a separate information that he proposed to share, so that the mercenary descendants can know more about it

Ramon asked, "when did that happen?"

Opal said: "the entry was compiled many years ago. I looked at the storage sorting. The number of years is at least in the order of thousands. The administrator of the database also told me a very interesting thing. Azeroth himself changed the question mark

Raymond: so, how does Azeroth explain that

Opal: no explanation. He didn't have time to meet me

Ramon pondered for a moment, and then said, "I don't think it has anything to do with our entrustment over a thousand years ago."Opal echoed: "at best, you can dig some of Azeroth's gossip Well, I'm too busy. "

Sid said, "I think it might have something to do with it. Well, that's an intuition. "

Opal and Raymond look at Sid.

"When adults talk, don't interrupt children." Opal said without expression.

"Sid is older than you." Raymond said casually, "come and play billiards."

After a few days of short voyages, they pass through the Stargate of M97 and arrive at the beginning of the incident, during which time era VI will continue to follow the track of the previous transport ship.

If you look at the outside, you can't find that there has been an explosion. A star emitting red flame is erupting majestic light and heat in the dark. This is a red giant - a certain expansion form of the star in the process of its destruction.

The hot wind blows and spreads to the cold space, where thousands of ice crystals gather towards the stars.

"Don't get too close." Raymond said, "I'll be sucked in. I want to live a hundred years."

Opal took a look at the range of gravity: "it's still far away. It's safe."

Among the five display screens of the spacecraft, hundreds of progress bars can not stop jumping, showing the nearby element detection energy, and the cabin is full of red light.

They followed the path of the transport ship at that time. This was Raymond's proposal. Sid had followed it several times, but according to the ideas of opal and Raymond, they still had to go once in person. For seven days in a row, the two men took turns on duty, sometimes each with a cup of coffee in hand, sitting together in front of the console and looking at the stars outside.

Sid was very tired, sleeping in the bedroom, opal and Raymond sat in front of the console chatting casually.

"It's boring." Raymond had a cup of coffee and looked out of the cabin.

Opal murmured: "I think it's OK. I can't get bored with such a beautiful sky."

As they sat quietly, opal asked, "Hello, honey, why do you help him?"

Raymond said, "that's enough. Don't be so disgusting. We've only known each other for weeks."

Opal laughed and Raymond said, "it's a little touched. He's very poor. Azeroth tells you not to forget your feelings as a mercenary."

Opal said, "what touched you? You have such a father?"

Ramon ignored opal.

Opal adjusted his sitting position, half lying on the swivel chair in front of the console, closing his eyes.

Raymond: go inside and sleep

Opal said, "I'm just meditating. Don't interrupt me."

The spirit of opal radiates out like a gentle light, extending towards the vast and unknown starry sky. The color wind of the distant red giant star spreads to the place of hundreds of light years. It is huge, gentle, like a king who occupies all parts of the field of vision.

This king is in the twilight. In tens of millions of years or hundreds of millions of years later, it may collapse into a black hole, or burn out its own light and heat, and gradually cool down to become a cold death star.

The spiritual world of opal goes against the wind. In the vast universe, it seems to be watching him quietly.

A great voice came into my mind.

Opal:!! "

Opal's consciousness is like a tiny light in the wind of the grand particles. He feels that the red giant star is talking to him! The stars around him are looking at him. The red giant star is like a king on the throne, surrounded by tens of millions of Galaxy subjects, looking down on him.

"I, I Are you talking to me Opal was stunned.

All around is quiet, still only that magnificent boundless star electromagnetic wind, like a rolling torrent, penetrates all his consciousness.

I don't know how long after that, opal stuttered: "are you talking to me? Can we communicate? "

Rex said that the stars have their own souls and thoughts, but they never communicate with the lower creatures. Opal was at a loss and said, "I am a mercenary, I Come here to find a man, no, a missing transport ship Your name seems to be... "

How can opal care about the labels on the star map and those names that humans have given them? A giant star whose size is comparable to the size of the Ares Galaxy?

"Have you seen that ship?" Opal gave a general account of the matter and finally asked.

He waited for a long time, until he almost thought that the question he had just asked was an illusion. He felt many beautiful color winds blowing between the stars, and every inch of space was filled with electromagnetic particles emitting light like atoms.

Is the planet communicating? This is their consciousness?!

The voice rang again.

Opal did not know why, suddenly noticed a star in the distance, his vision condensed there in a short second.

Once again, opal's gaze shifted to a dark spot in the M97 nebula. The next moment, he suddenly opened his eyes and woke up.Raymond put a blanket over him, a slight gesture that interrupted his meditation.

"What are you doing?" Opal yelled at him angrily.

Raymond said, "are you crazy?"

Opal ignored him, closed his eyes and went into meditation again. However, his field of vision was completely different this time. The red giant star was still shining, and the endless wind of dark red silk particles was no longer visible.

Opal has spread his spirit several times. However, no matter how he tries, the red star no longer has the slightest response.

"Well, speak up." "There was a little accident just now," opal cried in his mind

Opal: let me sing you a song. Can you play table tennis? Have you ever seen the wandering of pigs and bears? Now there are two generations! "

Opal: do you know a man named Rex

In vain, opal opened his eyes and Ramon, the culprit, was still drinking coffee leisurely.

The shape of the star is still in opal's mind. He spins the swivel chair, opens the star map, calls out the surrounding galaxies, and moves the star map head and foot.

Raymond:

Opal turned his head and looked out of the window, adjusted the angle of the spacecraft, and the spacecraft tilted 90 degrees. In fact, in the absence of gravity, the effect of head up or tail up is almost the same. The difference is that the distant cloud disk looks horizontal or vertical.

He adjusted the time VI to the right angle against the star map and marked the star map while looking out of the window.

"What's the matter?" Raymond said.

Opal looked at the star map suspiciously. It was a star - it was impossible to run into the star. What did the red giant mean?

Raymond said, "is this your meditation insight?"

"Yes," opal said

Raymond laughed and opal said, "that's funny?"

"I heard that the Vatican also used this method to solve the problem, and the Pope closed his eyes for a few minutes, so the whole galaxy was different because of God's revelation..." Raymond said

"That's what the planets told me," opal said

As soon as he said this, he realized that he was not right. He seemed to have said it so strangely that Raymond would not believe it.

Raymond really didn't think so. They looked at the star map together. Opal scratched his neck suspiciously and went here? If you're close to a star, you'll die. Even if you don't burn, you'll be pulled in by gravity He noticed the planets around the star system. One of the planets was named black ant.

The notes are as follows:

What does opal vaguely understand? Sid's father's spaceship has something to do with this planet?! Maybe we made a forced landing in black ant star?

Raymond: "safe, hospitable."

Opal said: "don't believe the above evaluation, for the owner of the chart I think his so-called "security" does not mean our safety. "

Raymond micro a little doubt asked: "the owner of the star map is very strong?"

Opal replied, "well, very strong..."

Ractor is really very strong, but opal seems to think of something vaguely Is this the mark of ractor? He's been here before? The owner of this map

Raymond called out the next line of small characters, and said, "look."

The content of this voyage diary is short, but it is amazing:

the name of the star of the black ant is actually from ractor?! Although opal was accustomed to the profundity and insight of Lecter, he was still deeply shocked when he read this note.

He was walking along the footprints of ractor and exploring the vast universe step by step. Just thinking that the teacher had also been on this planet, he felt a surge of unspeakable blood and excitement in his heart.

Then a basin of cold water quenched his excitement.

"Sid? Are you there? " ——A quick voice came from the ship's megaphone.

The corners of opal's mouth twitched slightly, and Raymond spilled coffee all over his hands.

Opal:

Raymond: --

"Yes! Yes Sid woke up, ran out of the control room and said in a loud voice, "quick! Are you here? "

"I'm right behind your ship!" Quick way: "plan to go out of space to see!"

Sid said, "you can use the spare spacesuit in my spaceship. Can you use it?"

Xun said, "yes! I'm going out now. "

Sid said, "if you set up a tracking system, remember to fix the magnetic field on the spacecraft cabin..."

"Sid! Tell me first "What's going on?" opal roared
