The Star Knight - 137. Chapter One Hundred and Thirty Seven
Opal was in a great shock, and even forgot what he should do, but Reckett stared at a machine in the distance outside the warehouse. Three seconds later, the machine made a loud noise and then collapsed.
Raymond immediately put aside his business and ran to the car to check. Reckert said, “Opal! Go!”
Opal recovered, before he could speak, he was grabbed by Reckett and ran out of the warehouse. The sudden change led to Raymond, and after Opal and Reckett left the warehouse, they ran into the alley between the two factories. .
“Opal?” Reckett said: “Can you hold on?”
Opal’s face was pale, and he nodded repeatedly, squeezing out an extremely ugly smile.
Fortunately, he didn’t bring the real Raymond, otherwise, based on the situation in front of him… he swallowed hard and said, “Teacher, fortunately, Raymond didn’t come.”
Reckett said, “Or do you take a break first?”
Opal waved his hand and said, “Let’s start the mission. Fortunately, he didn’t come… well.” He settled down, and then made a botched joke, saying, “Otherwise, if you run away, you won’t even be able to find anyone.”
Reckett couldn’t help laughing, and said, “You can’t treat these guys as humans.”
Opal nodded and replied: “I understand, teacher, this is the beginning.”
Reckett thought for a while, bent over to turn off the E7, and said: “I’m carrying a little E, so as not to cause trouble.”
Opal nodded, took a step back and forth, and split up with Reckett.
There are neatly arranged workshops, and there is a greenhouse outside. Opal walks on the edge of a greenhouse, peeking into the transparent ceiling, and sees a replica of Raymond cultivating plants.
He is going crazy…
Opal is almost crying, this can’t be regarded as a dream, in such a strange environment, how do you want to act?
Now his only thought is to manipulate the phoenix to fly out of the atmosphere and use all the energy to completely destroy the planet.
No… Calm down first. Opal took a deep breath and found that almost all edible plants grown in the greenhouse, including layered wheat, corn and vegetables. Is it for the clones here?
So what is going on in the factory?
It is almost a fully automated factory, and Opal enters through the side door-there are two duplicators talking in the stairwell, and their voices are completely indistinguishable.
“The boss said, I’ll be out in a while,” said a copyist.
Opal smelled smoke. Another clone seemed to be thinking. After a long time, he said, “What are we going to do?”
“I don’t know.” The first clone leaned on the handrail of the stairs, holding his arms, and said, “It might be a war or something.”
The second clone took a cigarette, exhaled, and said, “Are you ready to escape?”
“A lot of people have this plan.” The first cloner said, “But where can I escape? Didn’t you read the information in the data? Like us, escaping will only be besieged by humans. It is not conducive to survival, so we have to unite.”
The second cloner was still thinking, and after a long time said: “Lack of a leader.”
“Hmm.” The first copyist said: “Whoever is, I don’t want to be a leader anyway.”
“Same.” The second copyist said, “But I have been thinking about a question these days.”
“The father?” the second copyist asked.
The first clone did not speak, but expected to nod, and said: “A legion without a leader is just a mess.”
“Let’s talk about it.” The second copyist said: “Go back to eat first and see what the boss means.”
The two clones are gone.
Opal leaned against the wall and couldn’t help breathing. It was so alike, it was exactly the same. The thinking mode and tone were exactly the same as Raymond. He came out along the stairwell and saw the scene in the hall.
It was like a canteen with hundreds of clones, they were eating dinner and talking to each other from time to time.
“Go for a walk?” a copyist said to his companion.
“A176, do you still have a cigarette?” A copy person said to the other side, and the copy person across the table threw him a cigarette.
Opal watched this scene with frowning, and he couldn’t help getting hairy behind his back. He came up with a few news-first: These Raymond clones are about to leave here soon.
Second: They have a “head”.
Third: They already know the identity of their clones, and they also know that there is a parent. Kyle Lei should have instilled a lot of news into these clones.
[Opal, how is your situation there? Reckett said with consciousness.
Opal fed his inference back to Reckett. After Reckett’s brief silence, Opal said: [Kelly must have told this group of cloners about the dark ages. 】
[He doesn’t need to be so troublesome. Reckett said: [As long as the content is made into memory, it can be solved by filling it into the chip backup. 】
Opal took a deep breath and asked: [Do they have a memory of fighting? 】
Reckett said: [Probably, I guess everyone has the same level of fighting as Cororin during the Battle of the Sphinx. Now it is necessary to find out whose genes Kelly used to make these replicas…]
Opal said: “It’s Raymond, who is their father. I guess it’s probably due to the battle in the Kingdom of Arc of Light. Kyle Lei got Raymond’s flesh and blood and brought it back to remake. 】
Reckett said: [I don’t think it is, Opal. In addition to the test site you discovered, Kyle Lei must have kept a test site elsewhere in the interstellar space. It was just that it was trapped by Azeroth in the middle, so it failed to complete this plan. 】
Opal: [But I think they are very similar to Raymond… 】
Reckett said: [It can be understood that, and the situation is not too bad, we only need to deal with the combat-type Cororin… Before and after the Battle of Sphinx, he was in the peak state of his own battle, breaking with me. Later, he switched to a routine based on resourcefulness to solve problems…Continue to investigate, opal, to find the nutrition cabin. I need a chip as a sample for analysis. 】
Opal: [Where are you? 】
Rekert: [Central energy furnace, I will extract all the energy in the furnace to replenish the dragon rays later, the central energy will be interrupted for a period of time, see if I can attract the person in charge here. 】
Opal’s eyes are lost. He doesn’t know if the Raymond who keeps appearing in front of his eyes is the same copy, just like being in a crowd, and all people have the same appearance characteristics-no, still There is a soul.
The automated factory made a loud noise. Opal lay on the conveyor belt of the assembly line, rolled down the tunnel at the other port of the anti-gravity pouring machine, and entered the electronic information factory. The light screen flew horizontally, and there was a copy person operating the information center. , Casting parts.
That is a part of a large atomic furnace.
Opal can vaguely recognize its characteristics. He climbed in carefully along the vent, and came down from the other side, and saw a row of ten unforged mechas.
It is a new model, like an improved product of the Star Mecha and Meteor Mecha, but I don’t know how it performs.
“It’s a shift.” A copyist came over.
The cast replica technician took off the rainbow glasses, threw them on the table, and said, “Another day with nothing to do.”
“I still have to work the night shift.” The copyer who took over said, “Be content.”
The technician took off his hat and left. The copyist sat on the console, put on the rainbow film, and suddenly said, “Who is there?”
With a bang, the warehouse door closed, and the replica of Raymond ran to the corner of the warehouse where the parts were stacked. Opal had a bad heart and released the power of faith. The replica was not an opponent at all. It slipped in place and fell back to the ground.
Immediately after that, a photon saw whirred and flew, nailing it to the ground, less than half an inch from the clone’s ear.
“Open the door!” Opal said, “Where is the training center?”
The copyist saw the opal that appeared from behind the material box, and was surprised and frowned: “Who are you?”
Opal said: “Don’t talk nonsense! Get up! Take me to the training center!”
“What?” The copyist asked suspiciously, “I don’t understand what you are talking about. Are you a human? Where did you come from?”
Opal said: “Go to the place where you are made, in the workshop where you are trained.”
The copyist’s brows wrinkled, his eyes full of hostility, that expression of Opal has been seen too many times, whenever Raymond meets someone he doesn’t like, he will vaguely appear in this manner, facing a difficult employer, Or when it’s a difficult enemy…
He directly read the copy people’s heart, and got a message: human beings really treat them as batch machines.
What’s the difference? Opal simply cannot admit that each of them has its own independent soul. He was very irritable, just begging to get out of here quickly, and said: “Be aware of it and take me over.”
The inner thoughts of the duplicators were exposed under Opal’s scrutiny-as Kelly said, human beings are here to destroy them, and they need to call for help after they go out.
Opal took a deep breath and said, “Don’t try any tricks. I know you are thinking. After you leave here, I will ask your companions to come up together, but I will kill you first.”
The copyist said: “What is your purpose?”
“Let’s go!” Opal said loudly. He really couldn’t be hostile to someone who looked exactly like Raymond or Cololin, so he had to express his ferocity by pretending to be reprimanded.
The copyist looked at him for a long time and said, “Come here.”
He took Opal into a narrow passage. Opal had a complicated mind. Will he call for help? It doesn’t seem to be the case. What should I do when I see the incubation cabin?
Recht: [Opal, how is your situation there? 】
Opal: [I caught a clone and was asking him to take me to the greenhouse. 】
Recht: [I am about to approach the atomic furnace. Be careful of these guys. Their fighting ability is far stronger than we imagined. I have fought against a few individuals halfway through. If I don’t use the power of faith, it will be quite difficult to deal with. 】
Opal: [Really? you……】
When Opal heard what Reckett said, he thought of the process. He said that he “fighted”, most likely killed a few clones, and when he was thinking about it, the clones in front of him suddenly turned around.
Opal immediately drew back, and the clone hit the Opal’s Adam’s apple with unarmed combat!
Opal said: “Don’t force me to act!”
Copy Humanity: “surrender! I won’t kill you! Someone will come over soon!”
Raymond’s skill was as fast as the wind. Opal could not be used in this narrow corridor. He could only use the power of faith to confront the enemy, condense his spiritual power into a solid body, and push him straight out with one move. Raymond seemed to be early Anticipating that Opal would use this trick, he turned around and ran to the end of the passage, raised his hand to pat the alarm button high on the wall.
When it was said that it was too late, the real fire phoenix on the ring of Opal turned into a big sword. He chased after a few steps, holding the broad sword with both hands, and slammed it.
Jin Hong Broadsword turned into a beam of light and flew out, and he nailed the clone to the wall at the end of the passage, blood sprayed all over the wall, his hand was only less than ten centimeters away from the alarm button, and his whole body couldn’t help convulsing.
Opal stood panting, seeming to be frightened. After a while, he walked forward. Lei Meng leaned his face against the wall, his body was firmly nailed, and his lips moved, and he said, “You…”
A mouthful of blood spilled from his mouth, his fingers twitched, and the atomic furnace in his heart revealed blue light from behind.
Opal said: “I’m sorry… I’m sorry.”
Shaking, he inserted his hand into Raymond’s chest from behind, touched the atomic furnace, and closed it.
Raymond’s hand dropped weakly.
Opal drew out the big sword, closed it into a ring, and the clone’s body fell to the ground with a muffled noise.
He calmed down and opened the door to go out. Outside was another greenhouse. At this moment, the light of the setting sun has almost completely disappeared, and the entire planet is shrouded in the twilight before night, and there is a tall building in the distance, like an office location.
Opal stood in a water supply channel in the greenhouse to wash away the blood on his hands, ready to go into the high-rise building to explore.
He stood bowed in the twilight, washing, looking up as if driven by intuition, and standing opposite was a copy, with a look of doubt on his face.
Opal took a step back like a frightened bird, and the other side said: “I have no malice, are you human?”
Opal gasped quickly, as if facing the familiar Raymond, Raymond said: “You don’t look very good, friend. What happened?”
Opal said with caution: “No…nothing.”
He read copying people’s hearts and read a question: Do you want to call someone? Call someone over? After a while, the copyist gave up the idea of shouting.
It is different from the idea of the first cloner.
In other words, there are subtle differences in the scope of thinking of these cloners themselves. Or does it mean that the copy of the greenhouse will be more gentle than the copy of the computer room?
“How long have you been here?” Opal asked.
“Almost three months.” The copyist replied, “I was the first to wake up. Do you also use this timing method?”
He pointed to the moon in the distant night sky, Opal nodded, and the copyist said, “What are you doing here?”
“Check your business.” Opal said, “Do you have a name?”
Copy Humanity: “Yes, my name is A105. Let’s talk, we all have a lot to ask you.”
He plucked a small tomato and handed it to Opal. Knowing that he was not malicious, Opal took the tomato and ate it.
“There are still people here?” Opal asked.
“Nothing.” The copyist said, “But I can represent the ideas of other companions. We rarely have conflicts. Except for T073.”
“T073?” Opal said: “It’s the same as you…individual?”
The copyist smiled and said: “He behaved very strangely, so let’s not mention him, sit down and talk?”
Opal sat down with him in the greenhouse. I don’t know why. He always felt that these exactly the same Raymonds could be regarded as friends.
“Do you know our father?” A105 said, “I think you have a sense of intimacy, just like a friend who has known each other for a long time.”
Opal nodded and said, “Does your name have any special meaning?”
A105 said: “A is the responsibility number, responsible for reproduction and supply, logistics, 1 is the first batch, and I am the fifth born in the first group.”
Opal grumbled, and A105 asked: “What kind of person is the father? Is it the same as us?”
“Father…” Opal was a bit difficult to say, and said: “I think your real father is Raymond, but he is also a clone, the first clone made by Kelly, he and your genes , From a man named Cororin.”
“The original body.” The cloner thoughtfully said: “The boss also said about him.”
Opal was taken aback and said, “What did he instill in you?”
The copyist pointed to his head and said: “There are many human beings out there, all rejecting us. After the wisdom revolution, if we are not united, we cannot gain a foothold in this universe, so we need the father to lead us and build our own kingdom. .”
Opal’s heart beats, what does it mean?
“Can you take me to where you cultivate new individuals?” Opal said.
“What do you want to do?” the copyist asked.
Opal said: “I need a chip.”
The copyist said: “Do you want to destroy us?”
Unexpectedly, the copyist would ask this question so bluntly. He was quiet for a while, and then said: “Yes.”
Although he really couldn’t destroy it, he had to do it. What if he kept them? Bring them into the universe and let them live on their own? This will only lead to encirclement and suppression by all forces.
Make a facelift, have a cosmetic surgery, and let them integrate into human society? This will inevitably lead to the second intellectual revolution. He is very clear about Cororin’s abilities, and these clones have inherited part of his abilities, and sooner or later they will encroach on all human territories lurking in society.
If the clones are made from any human being, Opal will kill them without hesitation. However, when these clones are all facing Raymond’s face and act according to Raymond’s criteria for action, Opal actually I can’t do it.
The copyist stood up vigilantly and said, “I thought you were trustworthy.”
“I haven’t said that since the beginning.” Opal’s tone was very cold with a murderous intent.
A105 was about to leave the greenhouse, but Opal dragged him back with the force of faith. The cloner took out a gun. Unexpectedly, Opal was carrying a weapon on its body, and it was hurriedly almost concealed. Blocked by the big sword, the shotgun was shot off, causing a small explosion.
A more serious explosion sounded in the distance at the same time. It seemed that it was at the central main energy furnace. Opal and the clone were attracted by the explosion at the same time. However, Opal recovered faster, swiping away with a sword, sweeping with flames. Open, fly A105, and then quickly pass through the gap between the shots.
“Why are you doing this!” A105 said loudly.
With tears in his eyes, Opal didn’t answer, but chased and violently attacked with a big sword, driving the clone to a dead end, A105 raised his hand to surrender, dropped the gun, and said, “Listen to me…”
The Opal swung away with a sword, and the fire burned the clone to cracks, bursting with blood, and the metal bracket of Selk alloy collapsed and fell into the mud.
It was burned beyond recognition, one eye burst, the other looked at Opal, the alloy mouth moved, and it seemed to want to say something, but Opal did not dare to talk to it again, which reminded him for a long, long time. The former Raymond-Raymond lying on the swivel chair after being corroded by the acid beast.
The replicator’s chest glowed with blue light, flashing one after another. Three seconds later, Opal decisively inserted his bare hands into Raymond’s chest and shut down the atomic furnace.
It almost triggered a self-destruct mode, the opal’s back was full of cold sweat, the blue light of the atomic furnace dimmed, and the A105 died.
He slashed the clone’s head with a broadsword, took out a chip from the brain, put it in his pocket, and prepared to take it to Reckett. After thinking for a moment, he decided to go to the central building to take a look. There might be Design drawings.
Opal put away his broad sword and ran towards the central building.
“Hi, brave boy, meet again.” A clone stopped him.
Opal was immediately alert and swung his big sword. The clone immediately raised his hands to signal that his humans and animals were harmless, and winked at him.
Raymond’s face was matched with this movement, and it was strange that he couldn’t tell at the moment, and Opal seemed to find this tone a bit familiar. This is not a clone? !
“My name is T073 now, you can call me little T, or little TT…”
Opal fell down.
The people the whole universe is looking for will actually appear in this place!
