Mecha and Knife

There is no doubt about the human form, but there is no neck, the design of this point is the same as that of Xingyue in normal state.

However, Xingyue looked a little fat, while the general's armor could be described as muscular, like a magnified strong man Jackson.

"The current height is 5.6 meters. This height will basically not change. If the foot kit is used at that time, it may increase some height."

Shen Mu introduced from the side.

"Without the cockpit, core engine and other components, the weight of the empty general armor is only 3.2 tons. After all the components are installed, its weight will reach 5 tons, which is several hundred kilograms lighter than before."

"The custom-modified mecha that Colonel Han Li drove before weighs only 1.9 tons and is only 3.9 meters high. Compared with the general armor, it looks like a child's play. But Colonel Han Li is a child in front of you, haha Ha ha……"

After a few words of seriousness, Shen Mu became serious again.

"However, Colonel Han Li's exclusive customized mecha is already being built. When I communicated with the Academy of Sciences last time, they said that Colonel Han Li's new mecha is similar to yours, tall, big and heavy."

"Speaking of it, it's really like a reincarnation." Shen Mu sighed again: "The first mechas were all huge, some more than ten meters high, but after that they were made smaller and smaller, usually four meters to four meters tall. Between five meters. And now, it is starting to build between five and six meters, and I don’t know if I will build more than ten meters high mechas, or even higher.”

The problem of the height and weight of the mecha is actually a problem of technological development, and Ji Xinghe has no right to speak in this regard.

After the main body of the general armor is built, the remaining work is much simpler, nothing more than loading the built parts.

And in this process, Shen Mu kept expressing regret.

"The nuclear power reactor failed to apply. The Academy of Sciences said that it is not stable enough. The design of the general armor cannot bear the risk of mistakes. At present, only the mechas of five ace mecha fighters can use nuclear power reaction. Furnace, so, still have to be powered by nuclear fuel cells."

"In terms of battery life, if it is cruising speed, the general armor can run [-] kilometers, which is much improved than the previous Lonely Brave. However, if there is a nuclear power reactor, the battery life of the general armor can be increased to More than [-] kilometers, charging will be more convenient and faster."

"The energy shield generator failed to apply. The Academy of Sciences said that their experimental model exploded again, and it is still unusable for the time being. But it should be soon. They said that the previous test was very successful. If there is an energy shield generator , Lao Ji, if the empire bombards you with another hundred missiles, you don’t even need to hide.”

"In terms of light energy weapons, you can apply for one, but I have read the parameters provided by the Academy of Sciences. It is not as good as your tungsten steel gold spear, and it is not as good as Xingyue's four knives, so I don't want it."

"It's not that I want to save money for them, but that it will be very troublesome if the empire sees this thing. We have to give those orangutans a big surprise. When the power of light energy weapons increases in the future, one of yours will definitely be indispensable. , No, at least five pieces, one light energy gun, four lightsabers."

"Old Ji, why don't you ask me why it's a lightsaber instead of a lightsaber? Hehe...Light energy weapons can't be made into the shape of a knife for the time being. At present, they can only be straight beams of light, so they are lightsabers. If they can be made in the future Once the knife is shaped, I will definitely make four knives for you."

Shen Mu casually leaked many of the highest scientific and technological secrets of the Federation, which surprised Ji Xinghe, and finally couldn't help asking.

"Where did you get all this information?"

"From the Academy of Sciences, oh, I forgot to tell you."

Shen Mu laughed a few times, with a very smug expression on his face, as if he had been waiting for Ji Xinghe to ask this question for a long time.

"Old Ji, I have already received the notice of second study from the Academy of Sciences, do you know what this means?"

"What does it mean?"

"It means that as long as I go back and finish my advanced studies, you will call me Dr. Shen Mu in the future."

"That's it?"

"Of course it's more than that. Do you know the chances of people who go to the Academy of Sciences for a second study to become academicians?"

"How big?"

"35%, for every one hundred people who study in the Academy of Sciences for the second time, 35 of them will become academicians."

"Then when are you going back?"

"Er..." Shen Mu's excited and complacent expression suddenly collapsed: "You shouldn't ask like this."

"Then what should I ask?"

"You should say it's only 35%. Then I'll tell you that the chance of becoming an academician is 98% for a person at my age who is studying for the second time. Or, what's so great about it, you have a 35% chance of becoming an academician. You can do it too, then I will tell you that among the 1 people majoring in mechanical repair, there may not be one person who can go to the Academy of Sciences for further study. None of them."

Ji Xinghe did not cooperate with Shen Mu to come again, and repeated the question just now: "When will you go back?"

Shen Mu was silent for a moment.

"I'm not going back."

"You are so willful, does your family know?"

"Then do you know why I can get a second chance for further study?"

"why?"

"because of you."

"..."

Shen Mu looked at Ji Xinghe, who had a slightly astonished expression, and said seriously: "For a long time, I have relied on my talent, which is what many people call a genius, and neglected hard work. You let me know that a person with talent , and a person who works harder than everyone else, what kind of light can shine."

His tone was serious, but his actions were dishonest. With his hands behind his back, he kept gesturing to Su He beside him, and Su He also helplessly focused the camera on Shen Mu.

Judging from the lens at this time, Ji Xinghe has also become the background board of Shenmu.

Shen Mu caught a glimpse of Su He's gesture in response, and continued speaking with eloquence and impassionedness.

"As bright as the galaxy, as dazzling as the sun, Ji Xinghe, you are the light on my life path, you let me put away my cynicism, you let me know the truth that with great power comes great responsibility. Therefore, I can't go back, I want to stay here, academician? If I can repair even one more mecha, I will be willing to give up the chance to become an academician."

Ji Xinghe was silent for a short while, and suddenly asked: "Have you finished?"

"It's over." Shen Mu frowned: "Old Ji, didn't you react at all?"

Ji Xinghe turned his head to look at Su He: "Is the filming over?"

Su He nodded awkwardly.

Shen Mu's expression also froze suddenly.

"After the filming is over, let's do things."

……

Chapter 237 Three Last Words

Blessings are unparalleled, and misfortunes do not come singly.

Ji Xinghe felt this cruel reality a long time ago. When his life in the fifth base had just returned to normal, the bad news came.

"Colonel Ji Xinghe, please mourn."

This is a message about sacrifice.

Xiao Fulai, Guo Yingcai, and Wang Tian, ​​the first-level mecha fighters who joined the Xinghe team for half a month, died in a battle.

After the expansion of the Xinghe team, it was not yet full, and it ushered in a reduction in staff.

When Ji Xinghe heard the news, his face was expressionless and his eyes were not sad, as if he didn't care about the life and death of the three members of the Galaxy team and the Federation's first-level mech fighters.

But some people next to him didn't find it strange, but were relieved by it.

Sacrifice is inevitable in war. In the 20-year war between the Federation and the Empire, it can be said that there are heroic sacrifices of human beings every moment.

If every sacrifice, everyone's sacrifice, must be mourned, how can this war continue to be fought?

One will be a million bones.

Ji Xinghe, who has not yet become a general, but has a general, must remain calm in the face of such news.

"It's two earl-level imperial mechs."

As the commander of Base No. [-], Wang Wei didn't know what was going on, so he went to Ji Xinghe's side every day, holding the battle report and speaking in a low voice.

"Originally, the mission of the Galaxy team was not the two earl-level mechas. Their combat target was an imperial mecha formation, but the situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly. Perfect execution, you should have experienced this."

"The targets of the other two mecha teams are the two Earl-level mechas. However, during the battle, the two Earl-level mechas suddenly left the battle. Team A is desperately blocking it."

"They have combat targets, that is, the blind man and the lame man. The combat power of the blind man and the lame man has not reached the level of single-handedly fighting the earl-level mecha, and it was in a state of melee at that time, and Lieutenant Colonel Chen Xun's sniper could not provide support. In order to To save the blind and the lame, the three of them chose to sacrifice themselves..."

After Wang Wei finished talking about the situation, he looked at the expressionless Ji Xinghe and comforted him again: "This matter... how should I put it, it is actually very common on the battlefield. It's like those imperial mechs that can't stop your charge, nor can Just like preventing you from choosing a combat target, it is difficult for us to effectively stop the earl-level mechs of the empire."

When Ji Xinghe performed orbital airborne combat missions for the first time, Harris, who was stronger than the blind and crippled, failed to contain an Earl-class fighter even when he teamed up with Landers, another super mech fighter. Imperial Mecha.

Landers, who didn't know Ji Xinghe, but was willing to tell Ji Xinghe his experience, died in that battle.

The performance of the mechs of the blind, the lame, and others has been improved after custom modification, and the weapons have also been made of tungsten steel. The theoretical combat effectiveness is actually stronger than that of Harris and Landers before.

But what they were facing were two earl-level imperial mechas, and an unknown number of imperial aristocratic mechas and regular-level mechas.

"Old Ji."

Seeing that Ji Xinghe was still expressionless, Wang Wei said seriously without saying a word:

"Don't think about what will happen if you're there, yes, if you're there, those two earl-level mechas are not enough for you to fight, but the question is, can you stand by their side all the time?"

"Also, even if you are by their side, the situation on the battlefield changes rapidly, and it will take time for you to defeat the earl-level mecha. Will the imperial mecha stop fighting during this time?"

Seeing that Ji Xinghe has no sadness on his face, many people think that Ji Xinghe is used to this kind of life and death, but people like Wang Wei, Shen Mu, Su He who are more familiar with Ji Xinghe know that Ji Xinghe must be very self-conscious in his heart at this time. responsibility.

Not only because Ji Xinghe did not fight with the Xinghe team, but also because the three first-level mecha fighters who died joined the Xinghe team for Ji Xinghe.

To put it more bluntly, they were originally assigned to the Remnant Company due to injuries, so they could be transferred to logistics-related positions, or they could choose to retire directly and return to Azure Star to live a normal life.

But because of Ji Xinghe, they dragged their crippled bodies and went through hardships that outsiders could not empathize with, so they regained the qualification to pilot mechas and joined the Xinghe team.

And now, they are sacrificed.

"In their last words, there are some words for you. You should listen to them first."

Wang Wei left, and Shen Mu, Su He and others also left. In the corner of the No. 66 operation area in the machine repair area, only Ji Xinghe was left standing there silently, staring blankly at the loading of parts not far away. General A.

The degree of completion of the general armor is getting higher and higher. Apart from the black technology at the bottom of the federal box, there are all the high-tech used in the mecha.

In terms of the main material for making mechas, because the Federation lacks special metals like tungsten steel and gold, it is difficult to build an imperial mecha of the level of the Lonely Warrior, unless it is regardless of the cost, such as the cost of Li Yuanba's mecha. More than 30 billion.

It is hard to imagine that a single soldier's combat power can be consumed to such an extent, so there is no possibility of large-scale deployment.

But in terms of the high-tech functions of mechs, the Federation is ahead of the Empire.

Ji Xinghe also needs to learn how to use these new functions for General A, and to the extent that he understands them clearly. His learning place is the virtual world, and he uses the second-generation simulation system for training.

So these days he is learning, he is improving, but some people can no longer learn, improve.

If, each of them can have a general armor...

There is no need for a general's armor, a mecha of the Lonely level, or even a mecha of Zhanshan's level. How could they sacrifice for two earl-level mechas?

If the neural link cockpit has become popular...

Under the new generation of mecha driving mode, they will be able to display higher strength, and they will not be sacrificed because of the two earl-level imperial mechas.

There are many, many people who have already sacrificed, those who are sacrificed, and those who will sacrifice in the future may not sacrifice.

They were all able to return to Azure Planet alive, and they were all able to go home.

It's like when Ji Rong Xinyue saluted Ji Xinghe when he picked him up, and in the name of the captain of the Xinghe team's youth training team, he sought instructions from him as the captain.

His instructions were to go home.

This instruction was not only to Ji Rong Xinyue, but also to the other twelve Federation mechas present at that time, the hundred Federation mechas on the Xinyuehu, everyone in the Xinghe team, all the mecha fighters of the Federation, All soldiers of the Federation.

Ji Xinghe hopes that these people can go home.

But some people can't go home.

Looking at the general armor quietly, Ji Xinghe's inner emotions are extremely complicated, and this kind of emotion is useless even with his heart-chopping knife, because this kind of sacrifice will still occur, and it will become more and more.

When the knife is drawn, the water is cut off and the water flows more.

Beheaded for a while but not forever.

He raised his hand and woke up the screen of the bracelet. The three last words had been sent. He put on the earphones and clicked to play. When Ji Xinghe was listening, he looked at his general armor again.

Do you really want to use the name General Jia?

One will succeed, ten thousand bones will die...

"Old Ji, hehe, I can also call you Lao Ji. Anyway, it is recording the last words. If I am not dead, you will not hear it. If I am dead, you will hear me and I will not be afraid."

These were Xiao Fulai's last words. He was the oldest among the three first-level mecha fighters who had died, but he spoke very evasively.

Because they are all young people in their early twenties, and the oldest is no more than 25 years old. This is an age on Azure Star where most people are not old enough to start a family and start a business, and they care more about fun than responsibility.

But they have taken on the responsibility of the Federation and all mankind.

"Old Ji, I know that if you can hear this last words, you will definitely blame yourself."

"But I don't blame you, really, I don't blame you at all, I don't think you should blame yourself, and we all think so."

"Yes, we can go home, live a normal life on Azure Star, and enjoy the treatment of heroes."

"Many people will worship us and look at us with admiration, and there will be reporters interviewing us."
