Era VI is out of the Ares system, stargates are destroyed in the fire, and space robots are being rebuilt. The periphery of the galaxy is covered with post war debris. There are no spaceships or coordinates. Everything within reach has no name, just as it was in the early days.
The nearest temporary star gate is a one-way street. It leads to a gas Nebula in Beihe San. Opal looks through the bloodstained mercenary diaries and finds that their meritorious deeds have been automatically converted into promotion points at the end of the war, and the team has been promoted to B. opal's mercenary rank is C +, while Raymond's is B.
Raymond destroyed 1400 meteorite fighters, 82 meteorite mechas, and destroyed the No.6 nuclear reactor on the mothership.
Opal wiped out three meteorite mechas in the battle of the battle spirit building, participated in the mobile assault team, helped blow up the nuclear reaction furnace, dived into the dark throne of the meteorite carrier, and rescued the wrench and the wounded S-class mercenary Begonia.
"You are so good." Opal read the diary of the mercenary to Ramon, who never answered.
Opal picked Raymond up and carefully put it on the central swivel chair in front of the console. He took the radiotherapy instrument. His hands were shaking and covered Raymond's arm with the ray.
The red light was shining on his skin, and his flesh and blood fracture showed rotten purple black.
"No effect." Raymond said, "the radiotherapy doesn't work for me."
"How do you know that?" Asked opal.
"What I found after the injury was a very small incision that couldn't be restored under regenerative radiation," Raymond said
Opal said, "try again. Don't talk."
Opal's voice trembled. "I might want to Cut you a piece of meat. "
He carefully cut the carrion off Raymond's arm with a knife. He carefully irradiated the fracture with radiation and observed its movement. The new wound exposed did not grow new flesh in the ray, but dripping blood.
At the beginning, it cut its own arm like a knife, and it healed quickly.
"I'm not the same." Raymond said, "I'm a robot."
Opal said, "no, how can you say that You are human, human like me. "
Raymond listened quietly. Opal whispered, "you are my first friend. We're going through life and death together. You're just With an atomic furnace in my heart, I can feel your feelings. You are just like me. You are human... "
"You are human." Opal repeated, "there's always a way. Trust me."
He breathed a long breath. He couldn't bear the sleepiness. His hands were covered with Raymond's blood. He was stunned for a moment. He was so sleepy that he lay down beside Raymond and whispered, "I'll sleep for a while, and I'll wake up."
Raymond turned his neck hard and looked at opal, who was buried in the chair. His Fingerbone moved slightly. Opal buried his face between his arms, separated his fingers and held Ramon's metal phalanx, and gradually fell asleep.
It was hours before he woke up again. The spaceship landed with a slight shake. Opal woke up. He breathed tiredly, rubbed his red eyes, and saw Raymond staring at the ceiling.
His eyelids were gone, and his eyes opened in a strange way. When Opal got up, his eyes turned slightly to the right and looked at him.
"Are you going to sleep?" Opal said, "find something and cover your eyes?"
"I don't have to sleep." Raymond replied, "what is this place?"
Opal got up to get his coat and said, "Rembrandt, you have to tell me when your atomic furnace will go out."
Raymond said, "I don't know. I'm not weak yet."
Opal carefully uncovers the skin that covers his chest and looks through the alloy ribs to see the atomic furnace - as he did when he first looked at it, the energy was 100%. It should last for a long time. Opal noticed that there were still many blood vessels in the heart, which were beating slowly. The blood vessels extended to the spine and were probably connected to the brain.
"I'll be out for a while, and I'll be right back." Said opal.
Raymond said, "opal, I have something to tell you."
Opal: "come back, we can't stay here too long..."
Raymond: No, listen to me. Listen
Opal looked blankly at Raymond, who was lying in a reclining swivel chair, his broken face illuminated by the dark light of the control room.
Once so handsome, handsome face only left the nose and mouth of the skin, half of the left face was startlingly burned into coke, showing a pitted skull, left eye showed a dark hole, the nerve tissue in the hole showed rotten purple black, facing out with yellow blood.
"Now go to the police." Raymond said, "hand me over. Your partner Raymond was dead when the meteorite carrier exploded. There was a robot lying on the chair that didn't even have a name..."
"No "No, it's impossible," opal said
Raymond: you don't understand
Opal: it's you who don't understand"You and I will be together for a long time, a long time." "We'll be mercenaries, take risks together, save money to buy spaceships, live the life we want together, and you'll be better," opal said. Comrade in arms, I love you
Opal got off the ship, closed the hatch, and locked it.
The world of Rembrandt is like spring all the year round. The wind is blowing the sea of flowers and the fragrance is coming.
Opal leaned back against the wall, looked up at the sky, closed his eyes, took a long breath, and then turned and ran to the station to the sanatorium where lifena was.
Thankfully, rifina hasn't returned to liexing yet, but she's packing up and ready to go.
"Madame Anta!" Cried opal from the locked door.
The maid came out to open the door and said, "I thought it would be another gentleman to pick up the young lady."
"I'm not in charge of transportation. I want to ask her some questions," she said
The maid opened the door and Sophia went downstairs in her travel dress. Opal said, "great, you haven't returned to liexing yet."
"I'm going to go back and help." "What's the matter?" she said? Where's your partner, kid? Enya, make some tea and bring it up. "
Opal and repina were sitting at the tea table in the garden. Opal said, "Ramon was hurt, but I'm not here for this..."
Rephina raised her eyebrows and motioned for him to speak up.
"Man made robots You know what I mean. " "The legacy of the dark age," opal said
Sophia listened quietly. Opal saw that she didn't open her mouth, so she had to go on: "if there is any left Will biochemical robots, according to the staralliance treaty, be destroyed? "
Sophia's eyebrows twisted up alertly, and opal said, "is there any way to make a person keep a robot's life?"
"You're too young to know what that means, opal," she thought
"Intelligent biological robot does not have the life widely recognized by Star Alliance as you think. It is even different from your small space robot. It is neither a human intelligent life nor a robot People's friends. "
Opal said again, "but they think for themselves I hear they have the same feelings as people, don't they? Even the immortals, even the phantasts, have the right to exist... "
"The recognition of the astral alliance does not depend on whether they have physical forms, but because they are separate individuals from each other, and they have a mother or a father," rephina said
"But it's not the case with intelligent biological robots. You know, every life, whether it's nurtured in a nutrition trough or growing in the womb, has its own mother."
"The mother is the only symbol of life's right to self-existence. The evolution of genes determines the most basic differences among individuals. Through intelligent life, these differences have formed a mark that distinguishes them from each other. Please answer me, opal, what do you think makes you different from the same people? Don't tell me it's appearance, figure, all of which can be modified by gene companies to make you another person. "
Opal pondered for a moment and replied, "character."
Sophia nodded slowly and said, "or, more generally, soul. It determines the thinking direction and reaction mode of different people in the face of the same thing. What about intelligent biological robots? They are extracted from one or some human genes, copied uniformly, and produced in large quantities Products. "
Opal:
"Their personalities and modes of doing things depend on the noumenon," rephina said. A preset chip is added to the brain to control all possible off track behavior. What would you think if it was my replicator sitting in front of you right now? Would you think she was me? Or someone else with the same right to life? "
Opal looked away from his eyes and looked at the table. He was shocked. He looked up again and said, "but when they leave the factory and form their own thinking, in a sense, they have gained their own soul. After all, after all, after all, after all, there will always be a slight difference in their judgment modes after they have passed the learning process..."
"You still don't understand what I'm saying. Once this happens, the chips in their brains will be modified and re controlled in time to adjust their self-consciousness and make them return to their preset personalities," said repina
Opal:!! "
Opal gasped for breath. He couldn't believe her explanation. What did it mean? The conditions that he used to judge whether Raymond was human or non-human collapsed in front of the chip.
Opal frowned and said, "then why did the intellectual revolution break out?"
"Because the control chips of some of the robots are broken." Leifna smiles and replies, "they have privately transformed more control chips of their peers, gradually making all intelligent biological robots out of the control of chips and have a certain degree of autonomy. The interstellar community can not afford the consequences, so it has to destroy the robots that have not been produced in batches, and recognize the survival rights of the first batch of rebels. "Opal said blankly, "isn't that good?"
Rephina shook her head and said, "but this action angered the first robot rebels. Destroying copies means destroying themselves. So the intellectual revolution broke out. There were 20000 trillion copies of tens of thousands of models all over the universe, and then the ones you know. I remember saying in detail in the history class - the scope of war is too large, and the interplanetary is common They bring together living, genetic samples of humans, analyze their behavior patterns, look for weaknesses and break them down
"It was a real battle, because some of the samples have died, and intelligent robots are still replicating, becoming a huge army. The intergalactic community is in complete collapse, and civilization has regressed for tens of thousands of years. "
"But one day, the war suddenly reversed with no chance of winning. There are different opinions on the reasons for the reversal. Some scholars believe that the star Knight ended the trial in advance, while others think that it is the lion emperor Carl tes who has obtained the help of some mysterious force... "
They were all destroyed by opal
"Yes, there is none left," she said
Opal said, "if I mean, suppose I get an intelligent biological robot, then it might come from... "
"It's impossible." Sophia chopped the railroad: "this assumption is not interesting, sir. I have to tell you that no matter how big the universe is, there will be no hiding place for them. All intelligent biological robots have been destroyed. I mean - all of them. Because this mode of destruction does not require cutting off their heads or destroying their atomic furnaces by hand. "
"It's a transition resonance technology that kills them, and their chips are rebooted in a second and written into suicide mode."
Opal thought quickly and said, "but I Raymond and I received a commission to mention that someone had seen a biological robot... "
Sophia's expression is very alert, she said solemnly and coldly: "maybe in some unknown place, someone is really developing, a volume of research notes, or a sample, enough for scientists who are obsessed with anti human behavior to build a private research institute. If the truth is as serious as you said, it will be very serious. I suggest you report it to Azeroth now and apply for the support of Star Alliance. Believe me, son, this responsibility is very serious and can not be borne by mercenaries. "
Opal:
"I'm just guessing." Opal avoided the torch like eyes of lifena, who was uncomfortable with her eyes, and then said, "I understand In other words, if there are any more biological robots, it will be New, not a relic of the past Thank you. I have to go
"Long life to you." Sophia said gracefully.
"I don't mean Well, that's not true. It's very unlikely. It's pure speculation. Please do it for me before the matter is confirmed... "
"Keep a secret for you." "I've lived for many years, and I know I shouldn't talk when I'm not sure," she said. Mr. Raymond did not come? "
Opal made up a lie and said, "he I'm going back to my hometown to deal with something. "
Rephina nodded, and opal said incoherently, "his father is ill, well, that's it. Good bye and good health. "
Opal walked alone in the flower field road of Rembrandt. Someone chased after him. It was Enya, the maid of rifena.
"Miss, please take this." Enya gives opal a piece of paper.
Opal:
It was a letter from repina, Enya said: "her students doing medical and genetic research on zampdera may be able to help Mr. Raymond's father. She also asked you to tell Mr. Raymond that birth, aging and death are the laws of nature in the universe. Please face it calmly. "
"Thank you." Opal nodded and Enya saluted him. Opal solemnly returned the service and went to the station.
While waiting for the bus, he bought two bottles of canned flower tea. He felt black in front of him and forced him back to the tarmac. When he opened the cabin door, a stench came on his face.
"Raymond!" Opal kept his way tight.
Previously, he had been in the spaceship and could not detect it. After returning to the indoor environment, he found that Raymond's body was seriously rotten.
Many parts of his body had been glued together by blood, and the new blood was still trickling down. His large intestine, stomach and bladder embedded in his abdomen stinked.
Raymond turned his head and looked at opal.
Opal was relieved. It's not going to work like this. It's too easy to get infected.
He steers the spacecraft into space, sets its course, meditates for a moment, and then flies to zanpodra in Orion. Then he went in and filled some water. He took an iron box containing goods and came out and said, "clean up for you first. I have to take your clothes and trousers Take it off. Is that ok? "
Raymond did not speak. Opal said, "what are you thinking? I can't leave you. Can't send you to Star Alliance Security Center to exchange money, can you cooperate with me? "
Raymond said, "you can't cure me, opal. I appreciate it. I don't want to I don't want to... "Opal said casually, "don't do this. You make me feel bad. It's bad enough to say something else? "
Raymond said, "you might as well let me die."
Opal said, "no way. You won't die."
After a moment of silence, opal took off the folding knife to cut Ramon's coat and military trousers, cut them along his thigh and trousers, and removed the blood stained cloth. He put the iron box under the swivel chair to collect Raymond's blood, so that it might be useful in the future.
He didn't dare to wipe his stomach. He didn't even use his name to clean his stomach.
"You are the same as me. You are human." Said opal obstinately.
Opal covered Raymond's crotch with a piece of cloth and wiped it along his navel. When he saw his official, he thought that he would also have a piece of cloth? He will be as like as two peas.
"I was copied." Raymond finally said, "my brain is not the same as yours."
"Have you seen your brain?" Asked opal, frowning.
"No, but I know." "I have a lot of wires in my brain and a chip I don't know what to do with it," Raymond said
"Your chip doesn't work. It should be broken," opal said
Raymond didn't answer, saying, "where are we going now?"
"Zanpdra." Opal said, "Madame Anta wrote this for me, you see."
He took out the paper for Ramon to see and said, "there are her students there. After she heard about you, she suggested that I ask Dr. York for help..."
"Are you serious?" Raymond couldn't get a channel.
Opal frowned and said, "of course, it's obvious. She still wants to go to the spaceship to see you I didn't promise. "
Raymond said, "would she save me?"
"Yes, but she doesn't know genetic technology. Let's ask her students for help," opal said
Raymond said, "will her students go..."
Opal said, "don't think so much! unable! Trust her
Raymond stopped talking. His right eye was staring at opal. He felt a little guilty. He cleaned up the remaining blood and meat. The temperature in the cabin was too high and the rot rate was very fast. What should we do?
Opal tried to lower the room temperature to four degrees of the universal temperature scale. It was cold around. Maybe this could slow down Raymond's decay rate I hope he can hold on.
"Are you cold?" Asked opal.
"Not cold." Ramon knew what opal was doing and said, "you wear more."
Opal went in and took a blanket over him. He pushed the swivel chair over and leaned over to Ramon's position. They were lying side by side. Opal opened the porthole and the beautiful stars twinkled.
"It's beautiful." Opal murmured, "look, you don't want to die, Raymond."
Raymond didn't speak. Opal said, "we have so many things to do. The universe is big and boundless. You haven't been to all the planets yet."
"Well." Raymond said.
Opal said, "you know, I'm glad you're a It's a You are not an ordinary human being like me. "
Raymond: I'm a robot
Opal looked at him sideways and said, "I mean, you are not as vulnerable as other people. I just figured out this truth today. Otherwise, you will be dead when the spaceship explodes. I can only take your body back to liexing for burial. That's the worst. Now I'm satisfied. I think it's very good. It's too happy. At least you can survive. "
Raymond was very quiet. Opal took his hand, looked out at the starry sky, looked at him again, and said, "if the technology on zanpdra can't save you, we have other ways I think about it all. "
"Like my teacher." Opal said in a trance: "I think as long as I ask him for help, he must have a way. It's only a matter of time to find him..."
As he spoke, he noticed Raymond trembling a little and said, "is it cold? I lowered the temperature. "
Raymond shook his head. Opal put the blanket over the two men, leaned his head on his shoulder, and said, "you're pretty handsome. Well, at least your bones are beautiful."
Raymond laughed and looked at him with one eye. Opal said, "be happy. Don't be so dejected. Are you hungry? What do you want to eat? "
Raymond shook his head and said, "do you think I can eat?"
"How about some flower tea?" opal said with a smile
Raymond licked his dry lips and said, "can I drink it?"
Opal said, "try it."
He opened a bottle of scented tea and poured it into Raymond's mouth a little too fast. Raymond coughed quickly, and the tea flowed out of his chest. Opal quickly put away his blanket and brought an iron box to hold the leaked tea.
Ramon breathed as much as he drank, and the cold scented tea flowed from his throat into his stomach and out of the joint of his small intestine.Another decomposing furnace inlaid in the stomach is still working slowly.
Opal laughed and asked, "how do you feel?"
Raymond said, "a little more, this time not too much, easy to choke."
Opal looked at him for a moment, and his heart was filled with inexpressible feelings. He took a sip of tea, leaned over, kissed Raymond's lips, and poured it into his mouth.
Raymond's larynx moved and his lips looked at each other from time to time.
His eyes were slightly down, looking at opal's lips. His heart beat violently, the atomic furnace glowed red, and the membrane covering his ventricles made a faint sound.
Opal breathed quickly, blushing on his cheek, and asked, "do you want to drink it?"
Raymond's expression was cold and numb, but he tried to express something. He held the corner of his mouth. Opal took another sip of scented tea, put his arm around his neck, and kissed his lips attentively. The scented tea flowed through Raymond's throat.
After the end, opal wanted to look up, but Ramon lifted the left hand of the remaining metal skeleton, put it on his neck, and gently hugged him.
Raymond's lips and tongue were cold and moist, with the smell of scented tea, while opal's lips and tongue were hot and full of kisses for a long time. At the same time, opal touched Raymond's forehead, put his backhand behind his neck, took his hand, and lay down beside him.
Hand in hand, they looked out the window at the vast starry sky.
The Orion Nebula is a blue purple veil that spreads far into space.
The interstellar dust, like a bird spreading its wings in the dark, flies towards the NGC giant star, which emits tens of millions of light rays, to the light and to the new hope.
