12, Chapter Twelve(1/3)

"How's it going?" Someone came over immediately and started chattering.

Aman said: "Opal! Is my sister okay?"

Opal's eyes were red and she waved her hands to say nothing. Ugo asked: "Where's Si? Can Si's disease be cured?"

Opal was still immersed in the sadness of parting with Rector, and loudly shouted: "Everything is going well! The police will be here soon!"

People around him breathed a sigh of relief, and Opal said, "Let me be quiet."

Ugo immediately asked the person who came up to ask questions to leave. Locke came over with water and said: "What's wrong with you, Opal?"

Opal sat on a rock, calmed for a while, took out the package, distributed the hot dogs inside to them, and said: "I bought this on Crimson Star. Don't worry, Silk is receiving treatment in the hospital. There are special

People are taking care of her, Anya is at the police station, and she was even published in the newspaper. The galaxy police have been dispatched, and they will arrive here in five days."

Aman and they got three hot dogs, which were cold but still tasted good.

Opal said: "The environment on the Crimson Star is good. I met a friend who is the head of Hollens Mining Company. He promised to provide a new job opportunity to everyone here."

Locke said: "What else did your friend say? This food is so delicious, and Crimson Star's bread is so soft."

Opal said: "The food there tastes good, and there are some cheap wines. What about you? Tell me about the situation here."

Aman said: "What has Anya done?"

Opal said: "She is in a large rescue center, look."

He took out his projector and opened it, and a light screen was projected on it. On the light screen were newspaper headlines. The information was no longer updated after leaving the crimson planet, but yesterday's information was still preserved.

Anya's photos and news headlines were shocking. Opal turned on the audio to read, and the contents of the newspaper were read out, including the government's upcoming response measures. Many people were surrounded, with more and more miners. Thousands of people in the canyon were silent, listening.

Reading the comments about them from the Administrative Star newspaper, everyone's face showed unspeakable anger.

This report mentioned that they deserved rights, but they lived a life that was worse than that of robots. Opal turned up the volume a little louder. By the time the entire segment was played, the miners in the dark canyon were silent.

Opal said: "They are coming soon. What we have to do now is to protect ourselves. Each of us is a witness."

In an instant, there was a loud cheer in the canyon, and the miners stepped forward to hug Opal one after another, as if they were in a dream.

Opal signaled them to calm down, and Aman went to tell all the captains to settle down the workers. Opal walked into the depths of the canyon to see his spaceship.

Now he is the only one left.

Locke followed him and said with a smile: "Hi, Opal, Aman and I are afraid that you won't come back."

"How could it be?" Opal said, "I have to come back to lead you. The next situation may be very dangerous."

Ugo said: "They all know they have to fight. Oman held a meeting for them, and now everyone is willing to follow us."

Opal said: "Where is your village?"

Ugo said: "They are coming soon, I will give them a direction. Someone discovered the tunnel we dug the day before yesterday, and they all went to the warehouse to steal things."

Opal: "..."

"That's not okay." Opal said, "It's illegal to steal things!"

"Those are our own things." Aman said.

Opal couldn't do anything to them, and said: "Already on the way? I have to hurry up and repair the spacecraft, maybe it can come in handy."

The space around the spacecraft was neatly packed, the tools and parts were sorted, and they were placed in the cave and covered with cloth. The entire spacecraft was wiped clean.

Ugo said: "We don't know how to repair spaceships, and we don't know what we can do for you, so we just packed up your things together and wiped them down."

Opal was very moved and said: "Thank you, come and do me a favor."

It had been three days since they stole the chip. According to Ugo, residents of another mining village in the rock bed were on the road. There were about 10,000 people with their families and their families, heading towards the red rock bed.

"Where are the others?" Aman asked.

Opal said: "Don't worry about other people, they don't know anything, so they are safe for now. After the people from Black Rock Mining Company came to b11, the first thing they should do is to trace the whereabouts of the chip. If they don't find the chip, they won't

Dare to kill people randomly."

"Can you kill someone?" Locke's expression immediately changed.

Opal said: "Are you afraid?"

"I...I." Locke said.

Opal said: "You all hide in the mines then. Don't worry, nothing will happen. I will lure them away. Come on, help me repair this spaceship first."

Opal began to check the engine of the spacecraft. This was a small search and rescue combat ship, which was also equipped with four small laser cannons. He first turned on the left engine. The injection system was still working, but the power core had been completely blown out.

The backup propulsion system he stole from the warehouse contained a nitrogen jet. Opal connected it to the energy battery, and with a buzz, the rotating axis in the jet slowly rotated, and then made a terrifying noise, turning many gravels.

Grind it into powder and spray it out.

"What is this?" Aman asked.

"The atomic furnace was left for me by my teacher." Opal said, "Now I want to connect it to the engine and try it."

Several people looked at Opal. He was busy, Ugo and Locke helped him, and when he finally turned on the switch, it caused a big explosion.

"Oh, forget it." Opal ran away in disgrace, absolutely exhausted.

The friends laughed so hard that they couldn't stand up. Opal said: "Some things may not be possible just by faith."

"You'd better take it away for repair." Aman said.

Opal scratched his head in distress and said, "Try again."

On the third day, Opal was still inspecting the spacecraft, and the miners were looking for shelter according to the previous plan. As long as they waited until the galaxy police arrived, they would win.

However, as time passed by, the uneasy feeling in Opal's heart became stronger and stronger.

Only he and One-Eyed Ugo were left in the canyon, while Aman and Locke took others to seek refuge.

Ugo watched his movements, while Opal was trying to put the star map given to him by Rector on the central control panel. The central system of the small search and rescue ship was intact, only the engine could not move.

Ugo said: "How did you learn to operate these things?"

Opal replied: "My mother took me here when I was a child and put me in here to play. She was right in front of the console, sending distress signals to the universe."

Ugo said: "She is asking your father for help?"

Opal said: "Maybe. I was still very young at that time. Almost every ten days and a half, my mother would take me here and let me play in the sloping cabin. She would sit in front of the console and say:

"Can you hear me? I'm Lina, can you hear me?"

Ugo said: "What happened next?"

Opal shrugged and said, "Later, when I was six years old, she stopped coming. Maybe it was because she couldn't find anyone."

Ugo said: "Is it because the stars are too far away that your father can't receive the signal?"

Opal said: "No, long radio waves in the universe are transmitted by jumps. Beyond a certain distance, you have to use this... Well, this is called a small radio space jumper, which can allow radio waves to briefly enter the sixth dimension.

Space, after walking for a while, the dimension will be lowered and returned to our world, so you can basically receive it immediately."

Opal pointed to a small box and explained to Ugo. Ugo smiled regretfully and said, "I don't understand. Could it be that the box is broken?"

Opal also thought about this, but she didn't dare to open it up. Instead, she said, "What about you? How did you and Si know each other?"

Ugo came over with water and dry bread, and the two sat down to have lunch. Opal turned over the poison sac of the Sand Bat King, carefully squeezed out the venom, put it into a sprayer, and tried to put it in the square box above e7's head.

Spin it up, this thing might be useful.

Ugo said: "Si's father died in a mining accident. He gave me the chance to escape. The mining accident caused me to lose an eye."

Opal said: "That time four years ago? The medical facilities on the Crimson Star are very advanced and can help you transplant an artificial eye. It is not difficult."

"Let's talk about it." Ugo said, "As long as Silk is alive, it's already good for me."

Opal nodded thoughtfully. At this moment, there was a thunderous vibration in the sky. Four spaceships entered the atmosphere, carrying red flames caused by friction with the air, dragging their tails and flying towards the south.

.

"Here they come," Opal said.

Ugo said: "Is it the police or someone from the company?"

Opal said solemnly: "I don't know, they should be people from the mining company. I'll go take a look. You tell them not to come out."

Ugo said: "I'll go with you, I know where the ruins of the mining accident are."

Opal said: "Yes, but you must hide behind me."

Ugo agreed, and the two of them covered the spaceship with a large piece of cloth. Opal removed a laser gun from the spaceship and ran onto the minecart, drove out of the canyon and headed to the landing site of the spaceship.

At the end of the red rock bed, on a huge plain connected to the Brown Ridge Mountains, three hours' drive from the canyon, four spaceships were lined up. The foremen were all back, and the robots drove all the miners living in the Brown Ridge mining village to

An open space.

This is the same building they visited five days ago, not far from the building where they stole the chip.

They had discovered the tunnel dug by Ugo and began to beat the miners who had stolen things. The message Ugo had previously conveyed was for them to leave immediately after taking the things and go to the canyon to wait for the arrival of the police.

However, there are still many people who have not left yet, the total number is close to tens of thousands, and they are the first to be gathered by the foremen.

"Where is Ugo?"

“Where is Ugo!!!”
