The Star Knight - 129. Chapter One Hundred and Twenty Nine

The footsteps of the Pope and Opal echoed in the empty hall. They walked through the corridors, and finally stood in a hall. The floor of the hall is a luminous cosmic star map-an area that humans have already discovered.

“This is called the Star Map Temple.” Gleibini said, “It’s a place where unbehaved children are confined. It has been a long time since no one has been confined in.”

Opal looked up and saw a beam of light projected from the roof of the temple. In the center of the temple, there was a blue crystal-like projection device embedded on the ground. Glebini put the knife on it, and it hovered in the air and turned into a handful. With a sword-like appearance, countless fiery red droplets were imaginary around them, and the real fire phoenix buzzed out a spherical red light that enveloped them.

“This is a repair device brought by the magic star.” Gleibini said: “It can repair all the devices outside our domain of knowledge. The ivory tower gave them to me before leaving.”

Opal said: “Why does the Holy See disagree with the ivory tower?”

Gleibini said: “This disagreement is because of personal preference. I don’t like them very much because they say,’Philosophy is dead, and philosophy can’t keep up with science.'”

Opal was dumbfounded, and Gleibini said: “It’s already started. After the saber-toothed tiger died, Nolan tried without the dragon rays and the saber-toothed tiger. The result of the failed attempt was to drain all its energy, and at the same time white night. The light wheel also exploded unexpectedly, destroying all the planets around it.”

Opal said: “What is Nolan going to do?”

Grebbini said: “Using the energy of the white night light wheel, the planets around it can jump to the distant star at the same time, and get out of the star-affected area.”

Opal said: “Why would he do this?”

Gleibini said: “Before this, the white night light wheel had an energy shock. Nolan believed that on these planets, there might have been changes in the human race. This change will lead to the evolution of the entire race… Of course this It’s just my guess. My guess is often wrong. You can listen to it as a joke. You can’t discuss this issue after leaving the Star Map Hall. We are now standing in front of the ancient gods, and its influence covers the Star Map Hall. We ‘S consciousness will not be detected by stars.”

Opal said: “You mean Stellar, is reading our conversation all the time?”

“Not necessarily.” Gleibini said: “They don’t care about small things most of the time, but it’s always good to be careful. After all, most of the other universes are dead, and new universes are being born in cycles. If this Everything goes well this time, its shell will wake up slowly for a period of time. You take the heart of Nirvana and pay attention to the movements here at any time. My time is running out and I can only help you once more.”

Opal held the ruby and looked sideways at Glebein, who smiled inexplicably again.

“When it is resurrected, will I be able to control it.” Opal said.

“Not necessarily.” Gleibini said: “You still need to pass its test, but Cololin believes you can. Try it.”

Gleibini turned and left. Opal stood in the Star Atlas Hall, feeling the real fire phoenix in the center watching him.

“Can you hear me?” Opal tried to communicate with it.

However, True Fire Phoenix did not answer, as if he was spying on his spiritual world and consciousness. Opal stood for a long, long time, not knowing how long it would take for it to wake up. He sat down on the ground and made up his mind to wait here until Phoenix wakes up. .

Can he really control the Phoenix?

Opal thinks it’s impossible. After all, he is too far away from Reckett and Korolin. They are not at the same level at all. What kind of strength is he? Opal has always lacked a clear understanding of his own strength, he could not be the savior, let alone the height of Horius and others.

[Is your soul free? 】A slightly magnetic male voice sounded in his heart: 【Do you exist for yourself, or do you exist for some kind of responsibility? 】

Opal: “!!!”

Opal recalled many things he had done, and the scenes in those memories reappeared one by one in the spiritual world.

[When you have the power to dominate the world, what will you do? The voice asked again: [Dragon Ray, Sabre-toothed Tiger, Gourd and Star Fox all got the answers they wanted, how about you? 】

Opal replied: [I was born for myself, but Mr. Korolin hopes that I will follow him to build a new world. I think he is right. The universe cannot avoid war. I don’t agree with some of his practices. I don’t want this world to go through too many either-or choices, leaving a ruin in the end, and then difficult to rebuild. 】

[Mr. Reckett’s belief is to protect everyone. I agree with his belief, but I still don’t agree with some of his practices, just like his attitude towards cloners, enemies, and wars. Because there is no one way to protect everyone perfectly, the differences between ideas and survival will always exist. 】

[Intelligent life forms always pursue transcendence. Stability is relative, and chaos is eternal. I want to use my own way…to untie all the clues left by Nolan and maintain what I feel is worthwhile. Only if I am strong enough can I avoid the dilemma. 】

On that day, Phoenix didn’t say anything to Opal.

Opal is a little confused. He is wondering whether to tell Reckett that Phoenix is about to wake up, but how should he explain it to Reckett? He began to understand why Nolan didn’t choose Reckett as his successor, because Reckett was not the one he wanted, and Cololin shouldn’t be either. It’s just that Colonel prefers Nolan’s beliefs. Some.

He also knew why Cololin never explained the White Night Light Wheel to Reckett—Reckett could not accept Nolan’s approach and the result of the White Night Light Wheel exploding. Before that, Reckett trusted Nolan wholeheartedly and regarded him as a mentor. Once he knew all this, Nolan’s first belief as Reckett would collapse and his beliefs would be questioned. , This is more serious than being betrayed by Coralin.

Opal slept in the Star Atlas Hall, and when he woke up, he found himself being held by the wall and leaning in Raymond’s arms.

“Andis said you are here.” Raymond said.

“Yeah.” Opal rubbed his eyes and yawned, as if for fear of awakening the sleeping Phoenix, he whispered to Raymond, “I don’t know when it will recover.”

“This is the phoenix?” Raymond looked at the red machine in the center, now its volume has become a little bigger, and it stretched out countless thorn-like devices, as if slowly soothing himself during the repair process.

Opal nodded and asked: “Do you say it knows dragon rays?”

Raymond raised his wrist and said, “Try it, they should know each other.” He shook his wrist, and the dragon ray was awakened, turned into flashing silver fragments and flew into the open space, and then rotated and combined into a silver giant with one knee. Kneeling on the ground, watching the fiery red machinery in the ball of light.

Its eyes lit up with blue light, as if communicating with Phoenix that they couldn’t hear.

“The teacher said that Alex doesn’t know what plans are going on.” Raymond said: “The Empire will have big moves in the near future.”

Opal became more energetic and asked: “What else did you say?”

Raymond said: “He asked us to protect the pope. The empire has a series of military mobilizations, and I am afraid it is to deal with the stars and the Holy See.”

Opal’s heart shuddered, and then said: “No way, have such courage?”

Raymond said: “He learned that in the depths of the Lion Galaxy, near the black hole, there is Rotman’s private domain, like a test site, so he is now going to the private test site. And Justin has left and went to the army. Take the post. After Wrench returned to Lie Xing, everything was normal. The rebels did not go back. Xun and Sid both left.”

Opal doesn’t know why, he always feels that this is the tranquility before the storm, but he must stay in the Stellar Holy See now, which feels a bit restrained.

Raymond left the dragon rays in the Star Atlas Hall and left with Opal. Another day later, Opal entered the Pope’s study alone.

Today Andis did not come to deliver the medicine, and Xiao Q was assembled again. Going around in the study.

“Phoenix still has a while to wake up.” Opal said actively.

Gleibini nodded, and was putting together a gadget like a square puzzle.

Opal curiously asked: “What is this?”

Gleibini said: “I am creating an artificial universe. Today, let us hear your understanding of the third question, Opal.”

Opal poured a cup of coffee, poured water into the pot, it glowed under the refraction of the sun, and said: “The third question, I think it is like this… Why are there these laws that make the world so? Why? Is it us and not other races? Why do electrons revolve around atoms… These are… well, the origin of the formation of this world, including why it was born, there must be something that is dominating all of this, it is likely to be… It’s… the thing you said yesterday.”

Opal winked at Grebbini.

“Including the big bang and the birth of the world.” Gleibini pointed to the boiling water in the transparent glass jug, which was slowly boiling and forming blisters floating up. He said: “Our world is like these blisters. ‘None’, when the temperature is heated, it will be generated from’None’, and it will expand and rise rapidly.”

Looking at the pot on the side of the Opal, Gleibini said: “This process, which the people of the ivory tower call the’quantum fluctuation’, is like a tide. It will happen suddenly in a vacuum. If it reaches a certain limit, it will not stop. It expands and finally becomes our universe.”

Opal nodded, and Gleibini said again: “Let you see this little game I made.”

He put a chip into the projector on top of the small Q, and there were many black and white interlaced grids on the unfolded light screen.

“This is a chess board.” Gleibini said: “A flat two-dimensional world. Of course, I put together a chessboard of ten times ten, so that their space for activities will become larger and larger. The four colors of spades, hearts, clubs and squares are placed in the four central grids. They are divided into two camps, black and red.”

Opal nodded and said, “Oh.”

Glebini said: “Let us now set a simple rule for it. When there is a red pattern next to the black pattern, it will move one square to the left and copy a corresponding red pattern on its own. Similarly, The red camp also abides by this rule.”

Opal is a bit confused, and I understand it roughly, and Gleibini is designing a pattern.

“When there are more than two vacancies around, all the patterns will change towards the opposite color. When there are more than three patterns around, they will copy themselves in the diagonal grid, and cover other patterns in turn… When all the surroundings are When it is a pattern, it will automatically disappear… and then push all the rules in reverse. When a pattern point hits the border of the board, all the rules will become anti-rules.”

Add this rule, Opal is a bit confused.

“So what?” Opal said.

Glebini murmured: “You don’t need to pay attention to the process, you only need to pay attention to the result. All the rules are designed. Now, start.”

He turned on the calculation button, and the four grids in the center began to change, copying new patterns layer by layer, expanding layer by layer according to a certain order. The four patterns jumped in countless square grids, self-replicating and more and more. See The opals are dazzled. They change every second and gradually cover the entire chessboard. When the giant chessboard is filled, they stop for a short time, and then reverse the calculation. All the suits and colors disappear layer by layer, and the territory moves toward again. The center is gathered, and finally turned into four separate suits, returning to the center of the chessboard.

The next moment, designed according to Glebini’s law, they turned away again.

Opal said: “I seem to understand something.”

Gleibini said: “Very well, this is our universe. The elementary particles are shaped under the action of four forces and operate according to the rules. It is bigger than the chessboard we are on, and the rules are more complicated.”

“So, everything is inevitable.” Gleibini said: “Just work out the law, and carbon will be produced in a certain period after the Big Bang, and combine with other elements to become organic matter, the birth source of life. Self-random, but according to the evolution of the law, everything is inevitable.”

Opal said: “Then how does this rule appear?”

Grebbini said: “There must be a situation that satisfies these laws and emerges from nothing, but we humans cannot detect it… Only when we leave the control of the world consciousness, we create a space that belongs to us and is not affected by the world. The influence of consciousness, and evolve and transcend in this undisturbed space, from the independent world according to the leftover rules, open the barriers of dimensionality layer by layer, reach the highest point, and finally learn the secrets of all dimensions above five dimensions. ”

Little Q didn’t know what was moving, a clattering sound rang out, and a fish tank suspended in the air fell and broke. Opal hurriedly released the power of conviction, picked up the goldfish fluttering on the ground, and put it in another one. Inside the goldfish bowl.

Opal said: “Is this Nolan’s belief?”

Gleibini said: “This is his goal. The universe that the magic stars once lived in is developing faster than ours. They also made predictions about the multidimensional world beyond four dimensions, but when they developed the transition technology and combined it After putting it into practice, I found that the five-dimensional space is not as predicted, just like these goldfish bowls…”

Opal looked up at the goldfish bowl that Glebein was referring to. Glebein said: “Every goldfish has a distorted perception of the outside world because they are confined in an arc-shaped tank, but if they have intelligence , We can also infer the laws of the world outside the goldfish bowl based on the trajectories, sounds and images of external objects. Just like us…”

Opal said: “Goldfish Bowl Universe.”

Glebini nodded and said: “Yes, our goldfish bowl universe. Your father has left the goldfish bowl, and we are all looking forward to what he can bring back, but according to the current situation, he may have disappeared. This All I want to teach you, I wish you all the best.”

Opal said: “Wait, I have one more question about a person named Kyle Rey and my father.”

He talked to Grebbini about the last time he entered the ivory tower with Kolorin. Grebbini said: “You will find the wheel of time soon, because you were born in a five-dimensional space. , The four-dimensional world consciousness cannot affect you. Now I have one more word to say, come over, opal.”

His voice was very low, and Opal went over and said: “How can we create an independent space of our own?”

“Shhh…” Gleibini whispered: “They finally found out. They are now looking at us to find the wheel of time and use it to find a new parallel universe. The stars must condense after it exists, and the world must be condensed. Before the projection of consciousness is formed…remove it from the five-dimensional axis…and, the shepherd will entrust it…”

“What?” Opal said, “I can’t hear you clearly, Your Majesty.”

Gleibini leaned his head on Opal’s shoulder and didn’t say a word for a long time.

he died.
