Chapter 32

Opal tied a metal buckle belt to his waist, pulled two wide sidebands out of his belt, wrapped them around his shoulders, snapped them together, pressed the button on his waist, and buzzed the warm white light around his body.

"I'll go out and have a look." Opal road.

Ramon said casually, "I wish you a long life."

When Opal got down from the bottom of the spaceship, he pressed the exit button, and the vacuum door was closed. The air countercurrent gently blew him out of the cabin. The field energy spacesuit threw a ray of light to firmly connect him to the spacecraft. Opal turned around in the universe and was filled with an indescribable feeling.

It was the first time that he had personally touched the boundless space. He floated out of the cabin under the effect of weightlessness, slowly floating and sinking. His body passed the porthole in the red light. His legs and slender body were like a shining scale fish in the dark.

"How do you feel?" Raymond's index finger is against the ear canal.

"It's OK. It's a little cold." Opal was surrounded by air, and he breathed slowly. The cold was not obvious and did not hinder his movement.

The temperature is normal, and the real cold comes from the psychological feeling -- the loneliness and coldness experienced by the soul in this open universe. Raymond connected to another channel in the cabin and asked, "what do you want to do?"

"I'm looking for the wreckage of the explosion," the quick voice replied

Sid said, "I've looked for it several times."

Opal said unhappily, "don't make a mess of it!"

"I have my own spaceship. What does it have to do with you? Don't bother with your task

Xun searched for and observed every piece of cosmic dust in space. They either floated in front of him with the light of a red giant star, or stayed quietly in the air. Metal, ice and rock were scattered in the space. Opal said, "there are at least tens of millions of impurities around. When are you going to find it?"

Quick way: "only need a piece of artificial fragment..."

"Stop messing about." Ramon and opal said impatiently at the same time.

"If you go through an explosion, the high temperature will dissolve all the metal, and the shell will blow away completely. You don't have to imagine what to find around here!" opal said

Quick did not answer, he gradually drifted away, stubbornly looking for everything he thought possible.

Opal finally gave up trying to persuade him. He pressed his ear button and said, "I don't care. Let him search here slowly and continue our plan."

Ramon said, "no matter what, get him back."

Opal pondered for a moment, turned on the micro propulsion system at his back waist, flew to Xun, and quickly yelled, "what are you doing?! Let go of me

"Don't fight in space!! You will kill him Raymond burst into a drink, which made two people's ears buzzing.

Opal grabs Xun by the collar and flies him back. The vacuum chamber opens and inflates. He throws Xun into the control room.

"It's none of your business," he roared

Raymond said angrily, "is this our commission? What does it matter to you? "

Sid rushed forward to persuade them to fight, quickly and hatefully staring at them. Opal took off his belt and put it away. He threw it on the sofa and said, "don't make any more trouble. I don't have time to deal with you."

Raymond said, "keep monitoring the route."

Opal came forward to open the star map. As soon as he got up, he was attracted by his star map.

"Where is this made?" Fast track.

Opal said, "it's none of your business. Behave yourself, or we'll throw you on the black ant star."

Quick way: "you want to murder!"

Opal said, "they are said to be hospitable and will not make you homesick, eh?"

Era VI is pulling Sid's future Lord ship forward again, speeding through the interstellar dust.

The elements on the light screen are jumping. Up to now, no radioactive elements have been found around. The route is fixed. As soon as he wants to go back to his own spaceship, opal insists not. Raymond throws them into the bedroom and locks the door behind him to prevent the boy from making trouble. He starts knocking on the door in the room and yells, "sid is my friend! What are you doing! Let me out! I want to help him too! "

Opal said in a loud voice, "Oh! I am moved by your friendship! e7！ Close the anti gravity field in the bedroom

Inside, the sound of knocking on the door stopped, and he said in a loud voice, "let me go down!"

Finally stopped, Xun is still floating in the bedroom scolding, opal back to the console to sit down.

Raymond was still staring at the elemental analysis around him. Opal said, "no explosion remains found?"

Raymond nodded slowly. Opal said, "there's something wrong. It's possible that it's forced landing. Set the route and go to the black ant star."

Raymond let out a long breath, bent down to open the route setting, the two ships accelerated at the same time, flying to the nearest planet near here.

There is no space station outside the planet, and there is a beautiful ring of light outside the planet. Countless small meteorites form a halo around the equator. They occasionally collide with each other and break into powder, but they cannot be separated under the gravity of the planet.

Two spaceships docking, opal and Raymond discussed for a moment, quickly released, let him take Sid back to another spaceship, into the atmosphere of black ant star, looking for a suitable site to start landing."Gravity coefficient 1.5, God." Opal said, "there's so much gravity? I can't tell. "

Raymond said, "this planet is very dense. Land carefully."

On the display screen, there is a huge blue water belt around the whole planet - the only river of black ant star, estimated to be hundreds of kilometers wide. Its two poles are covered with ice and snow, emitting many blue lines. Tens of millions of small rivers are radioactive and flowing towards the big river in the central part of the equator.

"What a beautiful planet, it should be very suitable for human habitation," Sid said in the communicator

Opal said, "come on, gravity is so strong that you stay in the cabin and don't go out. They have no tarmac Let me see. "

The ground of the black ant star is approaching. Almost all parts of the earth's surface are bare rock mountains covered with a kind of black moss. The spaceship wanders around and quickly says in the phone, "you can land anywhere."

Raymond said: "no, we have to find a safe place with cover to facilitate the docking of the spacecraft Are there any landmarks? "

Quickly impatient way: "that's it, your left side 35 degrees direction, I see a big statue, landing in the back..."

Opal followed what he expected. Sid said in the messenger, "it's easy to get stuck there..."

Quick way: "you don't mind, I can drive a spaceship than you..."

Opal and Raymond were really defeated by him.

The spaceship flew to a plateau area with towering mountains and rivers passing through valleys. The ground surface in the middle of the field presents a ring of gray arc-shaped ditch, like a huge ring of tree rings.

In the middle stands a stone statue.

"Is it a human statue?" Raymond said.

"It's full of moss. It's a waste place," said Xun

The future Lord erupted an air current and slowly dropped to the ground. Opal saw the stone statue crumbling and roared with Raymond: "be careful!"

When the ship landed, the statue tilted to an angle. Three seconds later, it fell forward with a thump, making a dull sound and falling into pieces.

Opal:

Raymond: --

Opal: can you not mess around until you know the situation

Quick impatient way: "you two are still very tender! No experience at all. There is no house or life nearby. There is only a human sculpture. You can't think of any use in combination with the surrounding ravines? "

"What's the use?" opal said

"It's the predecessors who built it to coordinate the spaceship," he said! If it is broken, it will be broken. Just make a new ground beacon! "

Time VI followed, slowly landing, and opal was robbed of silence to detect the oxygen composition of the planet.

The oxygen concentration is slightly higher than 25%, the air is very humid, and it is indeed a livable planet. Raymond prepared an interpreter and came out. The four people looked around in the wilderness. The sky was gray and the air was moist and pleasant.

Raymond is debugging a translator, and a group of black spots below the canyon are moving high.

Opal said, "here it is! Let me see! "

"Don't go there!" Raymond said, "be careful they attack you."

Black spots climb up against the rock wall. There are thousands of black spots, which are very spectacular.

A giant black ant headed by Yi grinned at opal.

Opal:

It's a serious problem for the black ants to target the language of Raymond.

Thousands of ants surrounded them. An ant grinned fiercely at opal, and revealed his forceps. All the ants' tentacles were moving, as if there were invisible radio waves passing through the group.

Opal: what are they talking about

Raymond: I don't know There is no such language in the translator. Are you sure they're really hospitable? "

Opal: "that's the teacher's evaluation. I I still believe him. "

"They want to attack us," he said

Sid said, "yes, show the tongs in your mouth What did we do wrong? "

Opal: "maybe you just misunderstood. The way they say hello is -"

"Yi -" opal tries to make that strange sound at them.

"Oh! Boo! Oh Huge black ants, one tall, one after another, the crowd is turbulent. Their eyes turn red and they stare at opal.

Raymond: what about the antennae on your head

Opal: "this should be a greeting Wait. "

At the same time, all the ants stopped their fast waving antennae, and a group of ants actually lifted up the two spaceships! In a moment, it's gone.

Opal looked dazed: "Hello! What are you doing

Xun: "help us park? It's interesting. "

A small stick was handed to the largest black ant in the head. It looked at Raymond and regarded him as their leader. Raymond was the tallest and the most outstanding figure, and he lowered his head slightly.The group pushed aside, and the big black ant drew several patterns on the ground with branches.

Opal: what does it mean

Raymond: "it It means that the place where we land is their altar

Opal:

Xun:

Sid: "it's

Raymond: and it broke their Gods. "

Opal: "quick! I knew there was no good in you

Xun: "how could I know?"

All the ants came around and showed sharp tongs to the four people. The leader, the black ant, waved the branches to drive them away. He wrote and drew a line of strange things, which were pictures with strange symbols.

Raymond: "it said that we should be responsible for repairing the statue and apologizing to all the people, so that we can have a chance to talk. Otherwise we won't leave the planet easily. "

Opal was relieved. Xun wanted to say something more, but his mouth was covered by Sid.

"How do you know their words?" Opal said in surprise.

Raymond: "you see, it draws several rows of ants. Everyone stands in good order and looks at this sculpture as if they are praying, so I understand that this is their God, or something very important. It encircles the neck and ankle and points to the fallen statue, which means we can fix it

Opal:

The leader of the black ants waved the branches, all the ants Shua pulled away, leaving four people standing in the middle of the moss plain, a cool wind blowing.

Fifteen minutes later, opal and Raymond began to mend the statue which had been destroyed quickly. The statue is a human, male, wearing a cloth robe, barefoot under the robe. According to the body proportion, it is estimated that it is about the same height as Raymond. Should be a very handsome, simple man.

Now, of course, it's a different story for this sculpture with a broken head and a broken hand falling into the wet moss.

It is impossible to put the five meter high statue on the pedestal and repair it, especially when the whole ship is removed. Raymond went to the ants to borrow the rope. Opal cut down a tree with a long handled axe. The axe and the sword were crossed and tied together. He made a winch and pulled the statue of God little by little.

Sid and Xun sat at a distance with their knees in their arms.

The gravity of the planet is so heavy that opal was so tired and panting after a while that he said angrily, "don't just look at it, OK?"

Sid said, "I My strength is not good. "

Sid felt tired just sitting, and he was completely withered.

"Need adhesive, Hoo Whoa... " Raymond said, "or it will fall."

"Give me a break. There's no glue." Opal gasped: "it would be nice to recover."

Sid said, "is mud OK? The soil here is very viscous

Sid transferred some clay to Xun, and quickly bent down to fill the statue's ankle. Raymond said, "what occupation did you do before?"

"Plant breeders," said Sid

Opal felt a little strange. How could Xun be so honest in front of SID? The relationship between them seems to be getting better because of the reasons before? Something must have happened somewhere he didn't find out.

Ramon said casually, "why do you help Sid so much? There's no money. "

Quick white he one eye, said: "mercenary must have money to earn to work?"

"Yo Yo -" opal said with a smile, "you are a mercenary, too?"

Quick did not answer, Raymond nodded: "plant cultivator, sound very imposing!"

Sid moved to his side and asked Xun to sit on his shoulder.

neither of them commented. Sid was wearing a quick coat and shivered a little.

The planet can't even see the sun. There is only a white moon with a purple ring in the sky. There is a dazzling meteorite belt at the top of the sky. The planetary ring reflects the light of the stars in the distance.

Opal took the big head of the statue and slurred it to the pedestal. Raymond hung down the rope and hung it up. Both of them gasped for breath.

"I said you." Opal always thought it was incredible: "how can you get along so well? Together for dozens of days? "

"It's none of your business." Asked quickly and alertly.

Sid said with a smile, "it's just a friend."

Soon was not happy, Sid looked at Xun with a smile, and added, "play fantasy heaven's good friends together."

He couldn't help laughing.

Opal:!! "

Raymond almost dropped the head of the sculpture.

Sid said, "haven't you two ever played with that?"

Opal: "you I beg your pardon? Don't mention it. "

"You see, he looks like a country bumpkin, just like a barbarian, he doesn't know which primitive society came out of."

"Hello "You are the barbarian," opal said angrilyRamon said, "I'm a hick too. I never play that."

Opal's face turned red. Raymond said again, "hold on to the statue. Don't fall down again."

Raymond stood on the shoulder of the statue and hung his head up. It took a good sense of balance to keep the statue from falling.

When it was finished, opal took a few steps backward and looked at the statue. His hair was a little long and there was no name on the pedestal.

Opal went to find water to wash his hands.

But Sid found one thing - the sculpted face, the bridge of the nose, the brow bone and the lip, looked like a man.

"That should do." Raymond stepped back to look at the statue.

Sid looked up. He looked at the statue and Raymond and said, "he looks a little like you."

Raymond:

Raymond frowned and Sid turned back, "opal!"

Opal didn't hear that. He ran to the side of the canyon. Xun said, "yes, the hair is longer, but the facial features are exactly the same. Hello, are you their God?"

Raymond said, "I haven't been here. Do I look like that?"

Sid looked at Raymond suspiciously and said, "you just It's natural to communicate with ants, and I think it's a little suspicious

Ramon cried and laughed and said, "don't be kidding. If I were their God, how could these guys let the gods repair their statues?"

"Yes, too." Did you really say, "no

Raymond said impatiently, "really not!" He picked up the rope to return it. The ants thought opal was going to run away, so they escorted him back. A black ant wrote and painted, indicating that they could follow him and talk to the leader.

Ants have no vocal organs, and the only sound is the rustling of their mouthparts. The four men walked for a long time in the wilderness. Sid couldn't move at first. He quickly carried him across the mossy plain. The black ants who led the way took them across the river until they reached an open space, indicating that they would get on the bus. Four strange creatures were placed under a big board like wheels.

When Opal looked down curiously, the wheeled creature suddenly sprang out his tentacle like object against the board. The four of them bounced. Raymond grabbed his collar to avoid falling off. We sat down, and the wheeled creatures began to roll. They carried people forward at a high speed. When they crossed mountains, they could paddle around like propellers in the water, carrying them across the river.

Finally, he stopped in a forest full of exotic plants, and a tunnel led to the dark underground. The wheeled car rolled in and stopped not much deeper.

There were illuminated minerals all around, and the tunnel stretched in all directions. Opal said, "this is a Nest of ants. "

A group of four people looked at the dense ants drilling in the open hall, and felt a little flustered. Another moment, all the black ants were scattered, climbed into the holes, disappeared.

A huge black ant looked at them covetously. Opal said, "is it the one that just let us cultivate gods?"

Raymond: how do I know? They look almost as like as two peas. "

There was a sand table on the ground for conversation. Opal said, "we should be able to talk about it now."

Sid said, "you look like their God, can you add points?"

Raymond's face twitched and said to Sid, "in our eyes, they are the same length. In other words, what about us in their eyes? Of course, there is no difference. "

"Then according to their logic, as long as the statue has a head and hands, the face is actually redundant..."

Raymond motioned to everyone to shut up and stop talking. He thought for a moment. He took the branch from the ant and began to ask questions to the leader of the other party on the sand table.

Raymond drew pictures and learned how ants expressed themselves when mending the statues. He first asked about them with patterns and introduced himself to show that they had no hostility. Their previous behavior was purely accidental. Then he asked the names of several big ants.

The leader of the big black ant drew several ants on the sand table. The symbols of triangle, circle and spiral emanated from their antennae and distinguished each other.

"What do you mean?" Opal road.

As soon as ramono pondered, he replied, "it should mean that they are not distinguished by our human names. We all have no names. We can identify each other by the smell on our bodies."

Opal nodded slowly and watched Ramon write and draw. He found that Raymond was still very smart. He did have the ability to serve as the commander. He was calm and steady, and was not inferior to those senior mercenary regiments he had ever seen. For Opal himself, he couldn't think of many things.

Raymond finished drawing, together with Opal, pressed his left fist on his right shoulder, which was a mercenary etiquette.

The big black ants on the opposite side quietly watched, and the last few ants entwined their tentacles and bowed to them slightly. The two sides met and reached a friendly relationship. Raymond expressed his problem with pictures:

according to Sid's description, Raymond drew the symbols of the spaceship and several villains on the sand table, with a suitcase beside it.

The big black ant made a fork on the spaceship, indicating that he had not seen it before, and then circled the box.Opal:!! "

Sid:

Sid: "what! They met my dad! Where is he

Raymond said, "don't be impulsive! Opal, hold him down

There was a little commotion among the ants, and the leader kept looking at them with his compound eyes, and Sid led, "I beg you, tell me where my father is!"

Surrounded by ants, they seemed to be very curious. They quickly held Sid and comforted him in a whisper. Raymond drew an adult leading a villain on the sand table. The villain circled out and pointed to Sid.

"How clever you are Opal exclaimed.

Raymond gave a modest smile.

The leader understood and nodded slowly.

It drew undulating mountains and rivers on the ground. Four people held their breath. The big black ant drew a very complicated map, which covered the whole sand table all the time. Finally, he drew an arch in the upper left corner.

Opal:

Puzzled, he turned his head and slowly walked to the ants. An ant came and touched him with his tentacles. Opal touched it with his hand.

Ramon said, "don't move. I don't want to get into trouble again."

The ant retreated. At the moment, the atmosphere was very harmonious. The relationship between the two sides was good enough to be brothers and sisters. As expected, he was very warm and hospitable. The teacher was right. Opal thought, he took the initiative to build the smooth carapace back of the black ant leader, and several people watched the sand table with the ants.

The branch of the big black ant returns to the lower right corner of the sand table, and it draws a strange, huge monster. The monster is a little like an ant, but it has wings and is very large. Finally, the winged ant is connected with the small box for a circle, making a line, and flying directly to the arched object.

"What does that mean?" Raymond squinted suspiciously.

"This thing." After looking at it for a long time, opal said, "have you gone somewhere with your suitcase?"

Raymond pointed to the pattern, pointed to his own head, spread out his hands, made an incomprehensible movement, like a polite gentleman. The big black ant watched them for a long time, turned his head and communicated with other ants with tentacles for a moment.

Opal and Raymond are confused, quick said: "ask it, where is our spaceship."

"No hurry." Raymond said, "get this straight. There are too many puzzles."

The ants talked for a long time, nearly half an hour, and finally reached an agreement. A group of ants get out of the way, and the big black ant signals the crowd to follow them.

Opal and Raymond follow the leading ants. When they communicate, they can use their front feet to curl up. When they are on the road, they start to move with six feet together. They walk very fast, stop and go, and walk a long way in the underground tunnel, and finally enter a huge space with great magnificence.

The ants surrounded the four of them, and the leader pointed to the scene in the space, which was full of broken egg shells.

"This is their nursery," Raymond said

Opal nodded slowly, surrounded by a glimmer of minerals. In the center of the nursery nest was a cloud of dark red film, which was wrapped with living objects. Something was beating slowly in it.

Ramon became more confused and asked opal, "do you know what it means?"

Opal seemed to feel something and said, "the queen in the middle..."

"Queen ant?" Opal murmured, "queen ant! Oh, I see! This has something to do with the queen ant! That's not a queen! The queen flies away! What is that? "

Raymond immediately understood that there was no sand table around him. He indicated that he understood. The big black ants took them back. Opal and Raymond quickly started to talk. Now they all understood.

Sid asked hastily, "what about people? Where are the others? "

Raymond: wait, sort out the information first. Queen ant flies up the mountain with her box. What does the arc represent? Is it a box plant? It's also possible that we understand it wrong. "

Opal: "at least as far as we know, the ship wasn't destroyed in the explosion."

Raymond nodded slowly. Opal said, "it's not an accident. It's a human factor. It's related to the man with the box. If you find him, you can find Sid's father."

Raymond said, "but I don't understand. What does it want to show us?"

Several people stopped, Raymond began to ask the big black ant. The big black ant drew a small ant next to the queen ant, then drew a line, circled it to the queen and then came back.

Opal finally understood.

"Evolution!" "I've learned a little bit about entomology. It must be because their queen is gone, so one of the population is evolving towards the queen," said Sid

Opal also remembered. He read in his textbook that this is a natural regulation mechanism - a way for a group to maintain self reproduction after the death or disappearance of the queen ant.

"So we'd better stop by Bring the queen back

Taking a deep breath, opal said, "the Commission looks troublesome, but it's not paid."Raymond said: "when is it? I don't expect these ants to go to the labor union to entrust any tasks Forget it. Go and have a look first. "

Raymond motioned to the big black ant to find a spaceship for them, but the big black ant refused to let several people leave. After smoothing the sand table, he drew a fat thing.

Opal:

Raymond: --

Opal: "it's so hard to communicate with these guys."

Raymond's face twitched: "what can I do..."

As they were talking, a group of ants carried a huge, half dead insect into the ground.

Everyone is dumbfounded.

Quick way: "it does not mean to invite us to dinner."

The ants came out of the tunnel in all directions and rushed to the fat, more than ten meters long white insect. Raymond's handsome face turned green on the spot.

A group of ants gnawing at a bug. The scene was really spectacular. There was splashing mucus everywhere. The insect skin was peeled off little by little. Sid turned around and vomited. Raymond couldn't help escaping and began to vomit with his support on the wall.

Everyone ran to the corner of the wall and did not dare to look again. Opal only felt a nausea. Fortunately, the training courses and the power of faith in the mercenary training helped him successfully defend against nausea.

"I, I, I I don't eat. " Opal to the great black ant road.

Big black ant leader:

Opal drew a little man with long hands and legs on the sand table, pointing to Raymond, indicating that it was him. His belly was protruding, and he said, "he's pregnant. He can't eat worms."

Ramon roared angrily, "don't talk nonsense!"

Big black ant leader:

Opal began to talk incoherently with the big black ants and said, "there is a child in my stomach. Here you are. We don't want to eat this. The spaceship will find it and leave. We will bring the queen ant back to you Goodbye. "

A group of ants pulled out the worm's intestines and dragged them to opal. They dragged them to the ground. Their mucous intestines completely and directly broke through opal's tolerance limit. He finally vomited.

Half an hour later, Raymond repeatedly insisted that the big black ants understand that they don't eat this. The ants rush out of the cave to carry their spaceship back. People are exhausted.

The two ships were carried to the open space outside the woods by the ants.

Raymond said to the black ant leader that they would go to see it. The black ant leader took a group of ants to guide the way on the ground. The four people controlled two spaceships to fly low and slowly flew to the black line on the ground.

After flying for a long time, the endless moss plain surrounded by dense ant people, the scene is extremely spectacular. Black ants spontaneously give way to an open space, the spacecraft landed, opal out of the spacecraft when stunned.

In the middle of the field, the ring shaped building previously painted by ants is a lonely star gate.

"Isn't this something that can be installed outside the atmosphere?" It is difficult for opal to set channel: "how can it be put on a planet?!"
