Mecha and Knife

The federal mech that charged head-on jumped up, swung away the opponent's weapon with the protective armor on its legs, and at the same time controlled its knees to clamp the opponent's head with extremely precise micro-manipulation in the air.

Then make an effort.

"Congratulations, Lieutenant Yu Ren, you have completed Ji's life-threatening scissor knee No. 12 times, this unconventional tactical maneuver."

After trying for a while, Yu Ren finally completed the maneuver that he couldn't complete before.

At that time, the maneuver named "Ji Xinghe Scissor Knee" was tentatively named, but now it has the official name "Ji's Death-killing Scissor Knee".

The other maneuvers created by Ji Xinghe before are all named with the prefix 'Ji's'.

The name is actually not important, what is important is that these maneuvers now have a new level of title - super-conventional tactical maneuvers.

Before that, the Federation's mecha tactical actions could only be divided into standard and non-standard.

From this point of view, Ji Xinghe has ushered in an era, but the real reason for this division has little to do with Ji Xinghe.

"The peak synchronization rate is 91%, Lieutenant Yu Ren, congratulations on setting a record again."

When the sound sounded, Yu Ren's body had already come to his senses. After the nerve link with the mecha was released, his consciousness was no longer limited to manipulating the mecha, but returned to his body.

The specially made liquid, which combines the functions of load buffering and life support, is gradually discharged from the cockpit into the reserve area.

Because of this liquid named amniotic fluid, mechas using new technology are generally tall. The 3.9-meter-high standard mecha that Han Li is best at will definitely be eliminated after the new technology is fully applied.

When the cockpit was empty, Yu Ren jumped out of the mecha.

At the same time, he asked aloud: "Are you sure?"

"It's almost certain."

The researcher looked at the holographic screen in his hand and answered while sliding to view various parameters:

"Only when the synchronization rate reaches 90% can you complete unconventional tactical maneuvers. After your synchronization rate exceeds this level, whether it is Ji's life-threatening scissor knee, or Ji's reflexive brake, stop and rush, you will succeed." The rate has reached [-] percent.”

This is the real reason for the emergence of unconventional tactical maneuvers, and the improvement of the synchronization rate is the key.

The maneuvers that only a very few people can complete do not have the significance of popularization, nor the significance of establishing a corresponding database and teaching system.

"Aside from me, how many other people have a synchronization rate of more than 90%?"

"There are four more, but they are currently only able to reach 90% of their peak state, and you are the only one who can break through to 91% for the time being."

The synchronization rate of only five people in the entire federation can be raised to 90%, which sounds too rare, even rarer than the number of ace mecha fighters.

But the problem is that the test of synchronization rate has not been fully carried out.

"How many people do you think will reach this level in the future?"

"At present, our test base is only 2000 people. According to the current ratio, if we can conduct a comprehensive test on 30 active-duty mech fighters in the future, about 75 people will be able to reach this level."

Yu Ren frowned and asked, "Then what if it's a military test?"

"It is impossible to test the whole army. Although we have 35 million people in service now, many of them are not suitable for this technology. Their physical fitness is relatively low, and most of them cannot come Alien stars participating in the battle can only be divided into the defensive sequence of the blue star..."

The Azure Star Federation has more than 1000 million troops, accounting for one seven percent of the total population. Logically speaking, there is no shortage of troops.

But with such a huge force, less than half of them can really be put into the alien battlefield.

The three-to-nine-month interstellar voyage is the first hurdle, and most people cannot bear the emptiness of space travel.

Being in a weightless environment for a long time, or a low-gravity environment in an alien planet, is very harmful to the human body.

Before humans landed on alien stars, all astronauts were one in a million, which can already explain the difficulty.

Moreover, the production resources of the Alien Star are limited, and the transportation resources of materials are also limited. The consequence of a large number of troops being thrown into the Alien Star Battlefield is that everyone will starve to death together.

What the Federation needs are elites, so when Ji Xinghe joined the army, the assessment standards were so high.

The researcher continued: "People who can come to alien planets to participate in the war, there are some technical arms that are also not suitable for using new technologies due to physical reasons. The 30 active-duty mecha fighters are basically all that can use this technology , calculated according to the data model we set up, probably... only 500 people at most can achieve a 90% synchronization rate."

This figure is much lower than Yu Ren's own calculation. He calculated based on the ratio of five out of 2000 people. He felt that after the whole army test, there must be 1000 people who can reach a 90% synchronization rate.

He also thought before that there are many people who are not suitable for new technology, just like not everyone can become a mech warrior.

But considering that his synchronization rate has been improving due to continuous training, others can naturally.

Maybe the army-wide test really starts, and after the new technology is maturely used, it is normal for two to 3000 people to be able to meet this standard.

However, the difference between the reality and his prediction was too great.

"Actually, if we can have 500 people, no, if we can have two or 300 people to achieve a 90% synchronization rate, our new technology will be considered a great success."

The researchers explained: "Ji's unconventional tactical maneuvers, judging from the current situation, only ace mecha fighters, or super mecha fighters who have great hopes of becoming aces, can be successfully applied in actual combat. come out."

"Except for the five of you, there are currently less than 30 mecha fighters who can perform these maneuvers in the entire federation. This means that if the new technology is applied, you all have the ace mecha fighters. Combat power."

"Lieutenant Yu Ren, think about it, what is the concept of two or three hundred ace mecha fighters? Let's be more intuitive, what is the concept of two or three hundred Colonel Ji Xinghe?"

crush?

Yu Ren was silent for a moment and then shook his head.

"It's meaningless, because we don't have actual combat. If we just simulate actual combat in the training ground, even if we can perform operations that Colonel Ji Xinghe can't do, it is impossible to have the combat power of an ace mecha fighter."

The researcher nodded slightly: "That's true, but now we don't have the conditions for actual combat."

"Why not?" Yu Ren suddenly laughed: "Are you afraid that I will die?"

"Um..." The researcher was speechless.

"I apply to participate in actual combat. I want to go to the B72 highland. I want to join the Xinghe team. I want to fight side by side with Colonel Ji Xinghe."

After Yu Ren said his appeal, he thought of some stories he had heard about Ji Xinghe.

That was when Ji Xinghe had just obtained the federal second-level mecha driving qualification certificate. There was a search and rescue mission. Ji Xinghe, who was in the No. [-] base, had no authority to participate in it, but he insisted on participating.

When faced with difficulties from his superiors, Colonel Ji Xinghe asked a question, and this question can be said to be known to everyone today, comparable to Ji Xinghe's most famous question.

Instructor, how do you choose?

So when the researchers were about to persuade, Yu Ren added with a serious expression: "If you refuse, I will not cooperate with the next experiment."

"Lieutenant Yu Ren." The researcher said with a serious expression: "You should be very clear about the consequences you will bear if you do this. You are a professional soldier, you..."

"Don't talk so much nonsense to me, and don't give me any big reasons." Yu Ren said firmly: "I can continue to cooperate with you in the experiment, but if it's because I'm in a bad mood and the synchronization rate doesn't increase but decreases, Unfortunately, you have no way to send me to a military court."

There is indeed a direct relationship between the neural link technology and the user's mood. When Yu Ren heard the news about Ji Xinghe, the synchronization rate fluctuated greatly.

It was precisely because of the stimulation he received at that time that his synchronization rate improved significantly afterwards, from 89% to 91%.

It seems that this kind of improvement is not big, but every 1% or even every 0.1% improvement is an obvious improvement after the breakthrough after approaching the limit.

Just like the 2009-meter sprint event for human beings, in 9.58 the federal calendar, the record of the 2022-meter track and field was raised to [-] seconds, but until [-], when Ji Xinghe was born, more than ten years have passed. This record has not been broken.

With the development of technology and the improvement of per capita physical fitness, this record has finally been broken, but Ji Xinghe is now 66 years old, and the human 9.58-meter track and field record has only increased from 9.39 seconds to 60 seconds, which has not improved in more than 0.2 years. to [-] seconds.

Seeing Yu Ren's firm attitude, the researchers at the scene had no choice but to apply to their superiors.

During the application process, Yu Ren's synchronization rate really began to drop, from a peak of 91% to 90%, and most of the time it could only be maintained between 85% and 88%.

At the beginning, this synchronization rate was enough to make everyone ecstatic, but after seeing the limit, everyone thought about how to break through the limit.

Yu Ren finally received the transfer order when he held No. 72 days at the B12 highland.

"Lieutenant Yu Ren, your application has been approved, and you will go to B72 Heights by orbital airborne."

Yu Ren was overjoyed, he really wanted to find Ji Xinghe, but he never thought that the Federation would really let him go to the B72 highland to participate in the battle mission of defending.

"Can I join the Galaxy Squad?"

"No, the Xinghe team does not accept our personnel transfer orders. If you want to join the Xinghe team, you must apply personally from Colonel Ji Xinghe or Lieutenant Colonel Chen Xun."

The particularity of the Galaxy Squad can be seen.

"Which mech squad is that?"

"It's Colonel Han Li's team. Colonel Han Li is also an ace mecha fighter. His team..."

Yu Ren finally understood why he was able to go to the B72 highland. With Han Li as his bodyguard, how could something happen to him?

It wasn't that Ji Xinghe didn't want him, but that the Federation was worried that Ji Xinghe wouldn't protect him, so he transferred him to Han Li's side to earn gold stars.

But he didn't argue about anything, he was content to be able to go to the battlefield and it was the B72 highland.

Moreover, Colonel Ji Xinghe is at the B72 highland, waiting for him to go, begging Colonel Ji Xinghe to let him join the Xinghe team...

How dare the Federation rob itself in the hands of Colonel Ji Xinghe?

Chapter 280 Assassin

It has been No. 72 days since the empire launched its second round of attack on the B14 highland.

"They still have 15 troops, of which [-] are reinforcements."

On the space battleship, Yu Ren, who was ready for the orbital airborne, received relevant news beyond his authority.

He doesn't have a gold star, and he can only drive a federal standard mecha, theoretically speaking, he is only a federal third-level mecha fighter.

But in terms of authority, he is comparable to the blind man, the lame man, Harris, Qin Tong, these super-levels who are about to become ace mecha fighters.

"We still can't destroy their air defense systems, and the firepower advantage can't be brought into play."

The voice from the communication channel, with obvious regret in tone, explained.

"In the empire's first attack on the B72 highland, [-] troops lasted for only one day, and they were almost wiped out, but that was entirely due to Colonel Ji Xinghe."

"At that time, Colonel Ji Xinghe rushed into the imperial army formation alone, forcibly broke through their air defense system, and the [-] troops who attacked his defensive side were directly wiped out by our firepower."

"In the area where Colonel Han Li participated in the defense on the other side, the [-] imperial troops who launched the attack also retreated directly because of the loss of the [-] troops. That battle was really comfortable."

Yu Ren listened with fascination.

It wasn't the first time he heard this information, but every time he heard it, he felt a sense of excitement.

As a mecha warrior, who wouldn't want to single-handedly rush into the enemy's formation, and at the same time bleed a river, break the enemy's most important air defense system, and lead the Federation to victory in the war?

He is more eager in this regard, because he did not have the opportunity to become a mech warrior before.

"But the empire's second round of attack on the B72 highland lasted for many days. There are many reasons. For example, they assembled 20 troops this time, which is much more than the last time."

"Another example is that because of the first round of attack, they have a certain understanding of the defensive center of gravity of the B72 highland. Before starting the attack, they dug trenches and built defensive fortifications based on the trenches. Among other reasons, their air defense systems are very difficult. It was directly destroyed, causing our firepower to be unable to exert its due power."

"In the past 72 days, [-] enemy troops have been wiped out on the B[-] highland, but our casualties have also exceeded [-]. Compared with before, our damage is actually not small."

"The most important thing is the damage of the mechas. Counting the mechas that supported the past these days, there are still 72 mechas on the B72 Highland that can fight, but there are at least [-] mechas deployed by the Empire on the B[-] Highland generation. .”

The voice from the communication channel paused slightly, and the tone became serious.

"So, Lieutenant Yu Ren, please don't be impulsive. You have to know that if your mecha is destroyed by the empire, it is very likely that they will discover our new technology in advance. Day by day."

Say a thousand words and ten thousand words, but what you want to say in the end is just the last sentence.

"I see."

When Yu Ren responded, he thought of the mission he had received.

He went to the B72 highland not to defend it, but to gain combat experience. According to the analysis and judgment of the staff department, the B72 highland cannot be directly breached in the second round of the empire's offensive.

The supply and retreat routes will not be completely blocked by the empire.

The real crisis is in the third round of the empire's offensive. Before that, Yu Ren must evacuate from the B72 highland.

"Lieutenant Yu Ren, prepare to airborne."

"it is good."

"Don't worry about safety issues. Their missile strikes are not accurate enough. They dare not use conventional shells including anti-aircraft machine guns at this time, because they will kill themselves."

"The fight is underway?"

"Yes."

"Has Colonel Ji Xinghe participated in the battle?"

"Of course I joined the battle."

Yu Ren became excited, and couldn't wait to ask: "Can you share his perspective with me?"

"But you want to perform orbital airborne operations. At this time, watching Colonel Ji Xinghe's combat perspective, will it..."

"I know it well, if there is an attack, I will cut the screen at any time."

Thinking that the mecha piloted by Yu Ren is very advanced, even with only the intelligent assistance system, he can complete the orbital airborne operation. The relevant personnel quickly passed the authorization. Yu Ren, who was in the cockpit of the mecha, saw the picture he wanted to see.

The head of an imperial mech exploded under the stabbing of a long spear.
