Opal tied a metal buckle around his waist, pulled out two wide straps from the belt, put them around his shoulders, tied them with a click, pressed the button on his waist, and the warm white light of the defensive shield lit up around him with a buzz.

"I'll go out and take a look." Opal said.

Raymond said casually: "I wish you a long life."

Opal got off the bilge of the spacecraft, pressed the exit button, and the vacuum door was closed. The countercurrent of air blew him out of the cabin. The field energy spacesuit cast a beam of light and firmly connected him to the spacecraft. Opal in the universe

He turned around momentarily, and his heart was filled with an indescribable feeling.

That was the first time he had personally come into contact with the boundless space. He floated outside the cabin under the effect of weightlessness, slowly rising and sinking. His body passed through the window in the red light, his legs and slender figure

Like a fish with glowing scales in the dark.

"How do you feel?" Raymond asked, placing his index finger on his ear button.

"It's okay, it's a bit cold." Opal's surroundings were filled with air. He took a few slow breaths. The cold was not too obvious and did not hinder his actions.

The temperature is normal, and the real coldness comes from the psychological feeling - in this empty universe, the soul feels the loneliness and coldness. Raymond connected to another communication channel in the cabin and asked: "What do you want to do?

?”

A quick voice replied: "I'm looking for the wreckage of the explosion."

Sid said: "I have looked for him several times."

Opal said displeased: "I asked you not to cause trouble!"

Xun said unceremoniously: "I have my own spaceship, what does it have to do with you? I don't want to interfere with your mission!"

Xun searched in space and observed every piece of cosmic dust. They either reflected the light of red giant stars and floated past him, or they stayed quietly in mid-air. Metal, ice and rocks were sparsely distributed in space.

Bo said: "There are at least tens of millions of impurities around. When are you going to find them?"

Xun said: "All it takes is a piece of artificial fragment..."

"Stop being ridiculous." Raymond and Opal said impatiently at the same time.

Opal said: "If there is an explosion, the high temperature will dissolve all the metals and the shell will be completely blown away. You don't have to expect to find anything nearby!"

Xun didn't answer. He gradually drifted away, stubbornly looking for everything he thought was possible.

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

Raymond said: "No matter what, we will capture him."

Opal pondered for a moment, turned on the micro-propulsion system on his lower back, and flew towards Xun. Xun immediately shouted: "What are you going to do?! Let me go!"

"Don't fight in space!! You will kill him!" Raymond yelled loudly, causing their ears to buzz.

Opal couldn't help but grabbed Xun's collar, grabbed him and flew him back. The vacuum chamber started to inflate, and he threw Xun in the control room.

Xun shouted: "What does this have to do with you!"

Raymond said angrily: "This is our commission? What does it have to do with you?!"

Sid hurriedly stepped forward to break up the fight and stared at them with hatred. Opal took off his belt and put it away, throwing it on the sofa and saying, "Don't cause any more trouble, I don't have time to deal with you."

Raymond said: "Continue to monitor the route."

Opal stepped forward and opened the star map. As soon as Xun got up with a curse, he was attracted by his star map.

"Where does this come from?" Xun asked.

Opal said: "It's none of your business, behave yourself, otherwise we will throw you on the Black Ant Star."

Xun said: "You want to murder!"

Opal said: "They are said to be hospitable and won't make you homesick, huh?"

Era-vi pulled Sid's Future Lord spaceship forward again, accelerating through the interstellar dust.

The composition of the elements on the light screen was erratic. No radioactive elements have been found in the surroundings so far. The route is fixed. Xun wanted to go back to his spaceship, but Opal insisted not to do so. Raymond threw them into the bedroom and locked the door to avoid this.

The boy caused trouble, and Xun started banging on the door in the room, yelling: "Sid is my friend! What are you doing this for? Let me out! I want to help him too!"

Opal said loudly: "Oh! I am touched by your friendship! e7! Turn off the anti-gravity field in the bedroom!"

The banging on the door stopped, and he shouted loudly: "Let me down!"

Finally it stopped, Xun was still floating in the bedroom cursing, and Opal returned to the console and sat down.

Raymond was still staring at the elemental analysis around him, and Opal said: "No explosion relics found?"

Raymond nodded slowly, and Opal said: "There's something fishy. It's probably an emergency landing. Set a route and go to the Black Ant Star to have a look."

Raymond let out a long breath and bowed to open the route setting. The two spacecraft accelerated at the same time and flew towards the nearest planet here.

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

The two spaceships docked, Opal and Raymond discussed for a moment, released Xun, and asked him to take Sid back to the other spaceship, enter the atmosphere of the Black Ant Star, and find a suitable place to start landing.

"The gravity coefficient is 1.5, my God." Opal said: "Is there such a huge gravity? I can't tell."

Raymond said: "This planet is very dense, so be careful when landing."

A landscape appeared on the screen, with a huge blue water belt surrounding the entire planet - the only river on the Black Ant Star. It is estimated to be hundreds of kilometers wide. The two poles are covered with a crown of ice and snow, emitting many blue lines, tens of millions of

A small river flows radioactively towards a large river in the center of the equator.

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

Opal said: "Forget it, the gravity is so strong, you stay in the cabin and don't go out. They don't have a landing pad... let me see."

The ground of the Black Ant Star was getting closer. Almost all the places on the surface were bare rocky mountains. The mountains were covered with a kind of black moss. The spacecraft was wandering around, and Xun said on the intercom: "Just find a place to land."

Raymond said: "No, you have to find a safe and sheltered place to dock the spacecraft... Are there any landmark buildings?"

Xun said impatiently: "Just over there, 35 degrees to your left, I saw a big statue landing behind..."

Opal followed what Xun wanted, and Sid said on the communicator: "It's easy to get stuck there..."

Xun said: "Don't worry, I can fly a spaceship better than you..."

Opal and Raymond were really defeated by him.

The spacecraft flew to a plateau area, surrounded by towering mountains and rivers running through canyons. The ground surface in the middle of the wilderness showed a ring of gray arc-shaped ditches, like a huge annual ring.

There is a stone statue standing in the middle.

"Is it a human statue?" Raymond said.

Xun said: "It's all covered in moss, it must be an abandoned place."

The Future Lord ejected airflow and slowly lowered to the ground. Opal saw the stone statue crumbling, and shouted at the same time as Raymond: "Be careful!"

The spacecraft landed with a loud bang, and the stone statue tilted at an angle. Three seconds later, it fell forward with a thud, making a muffled sound, and fell to pieces.

Opal: "..."

Raymond: "..."

Opal: "Can you please stop messing around until you understand the situation!"

Xun said impatiently: "You two are still very young! You have no experience at all. There are no houses and no life around here. There is only a human sculpture. Combined with the surrounding ravines, you can't think of any use?"

Opal said: "What's the use?"

Xun said: "It was built by our predecessors to serve as coordinates for spaceships! If it breaks, it breaks. Just make a new ground beacon!"

Times-vi followed behind and landed slowly. Opal was snatched silently and went to detect the oxygen content on the planet.

The oxygen concentration was slightly higher than 25%, and the air was very humid. It was indeed a habitable planet. Raymond prepared a translator and the four of them looked around in the wilderness. The sky was gray, and the air was filled with moist and delicious smells.

odor.

Raymond was debugging a translator, and a group of black spots below the canyon moved rapidly toward higher places.

Opal said: "Here it comes! Let me take a look!"

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

The black spots climbed up against the rock wall, and there were thousands of them, which was very spectacular.

"Bah-" The giant black ant headed by it grinned at Opal.

Opal: "..."

Raymond pointed the universal translator at it and realized a very serious problem - the language of the Black Ant Star had not been recorded by the Covenant.

Thousands of ants surrounded them. One ant grinned viciously at Opal and made a squeaking sound, revealing its jaws. The tentacles of all the ants were moving, as if invisible electric waves were 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 are really hospitable?"

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

Xun finally became quiet and said, "They want to attack us."

Sid said: "Yes, showing the fangs in your mouth... What did we do wrong?"

Opal: "Maybe you just misunderstood, the way they say hello is -"

"Bah-" Opal tried to make that strange sound towards them.
