Mecha and Knife

"Reporter Su, the meal time is almost over. Let's just say, can we have dinner first and then interview?"

"Huh? Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot about the meal. Let's go, let's have dinner together, and I can interview you during the meal."

"Uh, I suddenly feel that I'm not hungry, you go eat first. Go, or you won't have food for a while, and it's very expensive to buy food yourself."

The mecha fighters looked at Su He, as if they were looking at a scourge. What they were afraid of was not Su He, nor Ji Xinghe who defeated them, but the camera in Su He's hand, because behind that camera There are [-] million people.

In one morning, they had confirmed that Ji Xinghe and Su He were not lying. There really was a documentary "The Old Man and the Stars and the Sea". is constantly improving.

It is not terrible to be defeated by Ji Xinghe, a 65-year-old man, and it is not terrible to be defeated by one against three or even one against ten. What is terrible is that [-] million people watched them be defeated like this.They didn't want to go back to Azure Star, and now they don't want to go back, because in their view, they are already 'dead', 'dead' in front of [-] million people.

Su He could also guess the thoughts of these mecha fighters, he didn't mean to embarrass these mecha fighters, these people are heroes.

"Don't worry, I'll code it for you."

"really?"

"Really, I promise to code for you. Besides, it is not shameful to be defeated by Lao Ji. The battle between Major Han Li and Lao Ji has been sent back to Azure Star. My colleagues are editing it. When the time comes Major Han Li is standing in front, what are you afraid of?"

"It seems that this is the truth."

"Then accept my interview?"

"Ah, no, I have a stomachache. I should have been injured by Lao Ji. I'm going to the infirmary first, bye."

Su He looked helpless, but after all, some people were willing to accept Su He's interview, but they were not interviewed in the cafeteria, because the location of the cafeteria was actually very tight, and the reason why everyone ate fast was not only because they were busy with Work, but also because they can't occupy it for too long so other people come and have no place to sit.

After agreeing on the interview time, Su He continued to go to the mecha area to take pictures of Ji Xinghe. He didn't take pictures during lunch, and in fact there was no need to take pictures, it was just a meal.Moreover, Ji Xinghe has to take care of his granddaughter when eating, and now there is still some controversy in the department in charge of publicity whether Ji Xinghe has a granddaughter should be reported.

Just like when Shen Mu heard about Xinxin, he would be very angry and wanted to beat Ji Chenxing, a sacrificed combat hero, most people will inexplicably require heroes to be perfect, without any stains.But in fact, heroes are also human, and they also have the same emotions as ordinary people. Impulsiveness and accidents, as well as difficult choices in the face of certain problems, are their imperfect sides and their normal sides.

So Su He tried his best not to shoot Xinxin, which was also in line with Ji Xinghe's idea, even if Xinxin would say she was willing because she was sensible.

The repair work in the afternoon was going on normally. Ji Xinghe, who had driven a real mech for the first time, had a sublimation as if he had a sudden epiphany. His repair speed increased again, and the success rate of repair is still [-]% so far.

One day passed, and besides going to the training area to fight a few times, he actually repaired most of the 109's board, which also gave him a second chance to conduct a real machine test.

The mecha warrior application for the actual machine test also needs to queue up, because the mecha area of ​​the base has 150 operating areas. It is impossible for the district to be equipped with so many.

With a wave of Master Liu's hand, Ji Xinghe became 109's mechanic and mecha warrior (real machine test). Anyway, the real machine test only needs to complete standard tactical actions. After proving his driving skills, Ji Xinghe also got the A certain level of trust.

The second real machine test was also completed perfectly. Whether it was Master Liu's maintenance skills or Ji Xinghe's driving skills, there were no problems, even though the mecha tested in the afternoon was not the same standard mecha as the mecha tested in the morning.

But what should come has finally come.

"Private Soldiers Ji Xinghe."

"arrive."

Ji Xinghe came to the lieutenant colonel officer who had "troubled" him twice before with some nervousness. He now knew that the lieutenant colonel officer was Chen Xun, and he was the lieutenant colonel of the base's staff (command). The school staff officer is responsible for the overall planning and management of many affairs of the base.

Su He also followed nervously, holding the camera and wondering whether he should take pictures, but he knew very well that Ji Xinghe violated the rules again, and more than once.Whether it's going to the training area to fight or driving a mecha for a real machine test, it is a violation beyond the scope of Ji Xinghe's authority, and he can be regarded as an accomplice in it, because he gave Ji Xinghe "perjury".

"Don't be nervous, you can shoot."

Although Lieutenant Colonel Chen Xun is still expressionless, his attitude is much gentler than before. I don't know if it is because Ji Xinghe has gradually shown his own value beyond human expectations.

"OK, thanks."

Su He gave Ji Xinghe a no-worry look, but Ji Xinghe didn't see it because he kept looking at Lieutenant Colonel Chen Xun.

"Three things." Lieutenant Colonel Chen Xun said calmly: "The first thing, the special allowance that Instructor Li applied for for you has been approved, but you have two choices. One is to go to the training area to be a special close combat instructor , [-] contribution points per month, and the other is a part-time job, at least two hours a day, and the monthly subsidy is [-] contribution points."

A little less, but Ji Xinghe still made a choice immediately: "I choose to work part-time."

Lieutenant Colonel Chen Xun was not surprised by Ji Xinghe's choice, and nodded slightly: "Okay, please confirm the mission log on your bracelet in 5 minutes. The second thing is that your maintenance salary level in the mecha area has also been determined, because you Not formally employed in any operational section, so you have no base salary, your previous base salary was for the regular repair area, but you refused to report so your base salary was cancelled. That is, you have no base salary, only For the salary of piece-based maintenance, the specific amount depends on different parts standards, and there will be relevant reminders in your task log. Excuse me, do you have any comments?"

"no comment."

Ji Xinghe answered without hesitation. This was something he had thought about before, and it could be regarded as a part-time job. He has only been in the base for two days, and he already has two jobs.

"The third thing." Lieutenant Colonel Chen Xun's tone became serious again: "Lieutenant Ji Xinghe, you will be held accountable for your two illegal operations today. Please wait for the follow-up notice for the details of the investigation."

To be held accountable?

Ji Xinghe was stunned. What he was actually worried about was not the pursuit of responsibility itself, because he dared to conduct a real machine test, and Master Liu dared to agree, which can show that this illegal operation itself is nothing. What he is really worried about is , He no longer has the opportunity to improve his mecha driving experience through actual machine tests.

Su He clearly saw that Ji Xinghe's expression had turned gray, and Xinxin in the distance was worried and wanted to come over, but he was too scared to come over.She was not afraid of Lieutenant Colonel Chen Xun, but she was afraid that her appearance would affect her grandfather. She knew very well that not everyone in the base liked her or children like her.

"Lieutenant Colonel Chen Xun." Su He plucked up his courage: "Is there any remedy? Besides, Lao Ji never had any problems when driving the mech. Master Liu agreed."

Lieutenant Colonel Chen Xun looked at Su He, still expressionless: "No problem does not mean that there will be no problem. Some things seem small, but if there is an accident, the consequences will be huge. Reporter Su, can you take this responsibility? ?”

"But..." Su He wanted to move Han Li out, but he knew very well that Ji Xinghe's performance in that battle was actually a bit 'unsightly', because he was killed in seconds, and it was in the virtual world.

Lieutenant Colonel Chen Xun's gaze turned to Ji Xinghe, and his tone was cold.

"Private Bingji Xinghe, if you are really good at it, you can take the exam."

take an exam?

Ji Xinghe's eyes brightened again: "The test for Mech Warrior? But they said I couldn't take the test, and said I was too old."

"This is a different star, not a blue star. Under the premise of complying with the law and relevant regulations and procedures, people and things should be used to the best of their ability."

Lieutenant Colonel Chen Xun's tone was still cold, and the words he said were as cold as a machine, but Ji Xinghe could feel a little warmth from it, and his heart became hot because of it.

Chapter 051

Ji Xinghe, who really wanted to take the exam, did not take the exam immediately because he was sure he would fail the exam now.It's like a driver's license for a car. Just knowing how to drive doesn't mean you can pass the test, because in addition to the practical test, there are related test questions, and these questions were originally not open to people like Ji Xinghe. Questions with a certain degree of confidentiality.

"It's okay, old man, I'll guide you." Instructor Li said: "These boys are still very unconvinced. When you pass the exam, you will play a few games with them in the mech. As long as you win, your allowance can go up."

"Thank you."

Ji Xinghe can only express his gratitude for this, but there is no guarantee that he will be able to win, because he is actually very clear that Instructor Li does not believe that he can win.There is actually a big difference between driving a mecha and fighting with bare hands. A peerless master may not be able to display the full performance of a mecha. The most important thing is age and physical problems.

The physical problem is mainly about endurance, and the age problem is mainly about reaction. Both of these are actually physical problems, and they will continue to decline with age, and these two are very critical for driving a mech.

The daily life in the training area is on the right track. Ji Xinghe will spare an hour every morning and afternoon to fight with those mecha fighters. In the process of imparting some skills and experience, he figured it out by himself, but it was very useful, and the mecha fighters also benefited a lot.

Similarly, the daily life of the mecha maintenance area is also on the right track. Ji Xinghe, who has repaired all the boards in the 109th operation area, went to the 21st operation area to repair the boards. Board repair business in other operating areas.

These tasks were sent to Ji Xinghe's task log by the mechanics in the relevant operation area through the system in the form of tasks. He can get a contribution point for each task completed. The number is actually not many, some are only a few. Ten contribution points, most of which are only one or two hundred. The reason for the low maintenance price is that these board robotic arms can be easily repaired. It is only because the maintenance resources are very tight that they need to queue up to have the opportunity of Ji Xinghe.

Less is less, and less can make more. After spending half a month to complete the sweeping repair of the boards in the mecha area, Ji Xinghe not only gained a contribution point, but also started new parts repairs. .

"Generally, we divide the mecha into ten systems."

Second Lieutenant Shen Mu, who also had heavy maintenance work, did not hesitate to take his little rest time. The cramming teaching mode started, allowing Ji Xinghe to combine relevant materials and eagerly absorb the knowledge related to mecha maintenance and driving. A lot of knowledge he had He has taught himself before, but because of permission issues, he can only see and learn some confidential information now.

"The engine system is similar to the engine of a car. We generally call it an engine on mechs. There are two types of energy that allow the engine to exert its power, namely nuclear fuel cells and miniaturized nuclear reactors. Currently, only The real exclusive mechas are the mechas used by the ace mecha fighters. They can be equipped with nuclear reactors. It is not because they are reluctant, but because the cost of that thing is too high. The engines of the standard mechas of the 36th generation Federation are respectively have……"

"The transmission system, the energy generated by the nuclear fuel cell, cannot directly power all the engines of the mecha, nor can it provide power to all positions of the mecha, so the transmission system is required to transmit energy. You should be fine with this aspect, It’s those energy transmission plates. Speaking of which, I’ve always felt that those things are like some kind of magic runes, the energy transmission plates are like some kind of magic material, and the engraved lines seem to be enchanted. Old Ji, if there is magic in this world, You must be a great magister, no matter how bad you are, you are also a great alchemist, hahaha..."

"The skeleton system is mainly used to carry other subsystems such as armor, plug-ins, transmission, energy, output, etc., just like the bones of our human body. The difficulty of maintenance of this system lies in the joint system, that is, it can make the mecha The system for turning, maneuvering, and making various tactical actions..."

"Armor system, weapon system, there is no need to say more about these two. As the name suggests, our mechanics are generally only responsible for the armor system, and the weapon system can even be regarded as another category of mechanics. By the way, I will tell you a secret, It’s not a secret, it can be used on the mecha of the ace mecha fighter in a year at most. The research institute is researching the energy field generator, which can make the mecha have an energy shield. This is a new generation of armor system It's..."

"The plug-in system cannot be loaded inside the mecha, but can only be loaded on the external attachment points of some auxiliary, auxiliary, and functional equipment... Perception systems, radar, vision, hearing, communication, infrared, temperature, air pressure, etc... The master control system is the smart chip in the mecha. I’m not very good at this either. What I’m good at is related to machinery. You should be the same, old man... and the control system... the life support system..."

Ji Xinghe is constantly growing, and a talented mechanic like Shen Mu can give him a lot of help for a mechanic who was born in a wild way. The knowledge he learned by himself gradually merges into one furnace and shines with the light of inferring other cases from one instance.

However, he didn't think that what Shen Mu said was all right. For example, Shen Mu was not very proficient in the general control system of the mecha, but he could be proficient, because he had taught himself programming and chip design related knowledge before.Since elementary school, Ji Xinghe's dream has been to build his own Transformers, and this dream has not been given up because of adulthood, but is suppressed in his heart because of life. When he was repairing the car, those more and more The most advanced artificial intelligence driving program and the related on-board smart chip failed to stop him, the best car mechanic in Xinfeng City.

Under normal circumstances, the best ones can be called masters, and Ji Xinghe is a master in the auto repair industry.

The days of coming to Yixing are very fulfilling. Ji Xinghe, who has three part-time jobs, still needs to learn to improve himself, but it does not make him feel tired, because he can clearly feel his own growth and see his contribution. The points kept piling up, getting closer and closer to the high medical bills needed to treat his granddaughter.

Yes, Ji Xinghe has three part-time jobs, and his qualifications in the actual machine test in the mecha area have not been deprived, and he has a salary to get.Maybe it was because there were no problems in the previous tests, maybe it was because of Master Liu and Shen Mu's guarantee, maybe it was because Ji Xinghe's role in the No. [-] base was becoming more and more important.There may be many reasons, but no matter what the reason is, his previous two violations and subsequent violations have not encountered any formal form of accountability.

Lieutenant Colonel Chen Xun did not stop or urge Ji Xinghe to take the exam, as if he had tacitly agreed that Ji Xinghe could pass the exam.In the final analysis, it was the same sentence he said to Ji Xinghe: people and things should be used to their full potential.

Time passed unknowingly, and Ji Xinghe has been in Yixing for a month. He thought he could take care of his granddaughter in this way until he sent her back to the blue star.

"I'm sorry Mr. Ji, we... have no medicine."

The medicine is Xinxin's medicine, and it is also Ji Xinghe's life.

"why?"

"Because the war is tense, and this medicine can only be produced at Base 3, the space between us and them...is occupied by the empire."

"What about individual starships? What about spaceships? Transferring from space."

Faced with Ji Xinghe's doubts, the doctors at the base remained silent, not because the doctors didn't know why they didn't use these methods, but because the answers were too cruel.

Chapter 052 Instructor, I want to switch on the armor

The blind man finally saw Ji Xinghe, because he was equipped with a mechanical eye, which is also a kind of mechanical prosthesis.But what the blind man didn't expect was that he was not the Ji Xinghe he saw in the training area he expected, and what he saw was not the one-enemy-three-invincible, 65 Ji Xinghe is like a tiger.

This is an old man with no vigor, his face is thin and wrinkled, his figure is tall but he looks a little stooped. Among the black hair that he has been hearing about a few days ago, his temples are already silvery white.

Wang Gui lied to me?

It shouldn't be, not only Wang Gui said that Ji Xinghe's black hair doesn't look like a 65-year-old man, but other disabled soldiers also said that although Ji Xinghe is very old, his kidneys must be very good, because his hair is full of hair. There is not a trace of silver in the black hair.At the beginning, everyone thought that when Ji Xinghe came to Yixing, he went to the barber shop to get oil, but a month passed, and in the No. Become the silvery white that a 65-year-old man should have.

However, it has never changed. Ji Xinghe's tall figure is full of vigor like a young man. When he was fighting in the training area, his moves were vigorous and vigorous. The soldiers also said in private that Ji Xinghe didn't look like an old man at all, but like a real humanoid mecha.

The speed, strength, and endurance all shocked the mecha fighters, and gradually made Wang Gui, the blind man and the mecha fighters and soldiers who were incorporated into the remnant company truly glow with vitality.

The 65-year-old men are all so capable of fighting, and they are all so desperate. They just lost a leg, an arm, a palm, a meniscus, and two eyes... Why can't they get back together? In this federation and empire, humans and orangutans In the war between monkeys and monkeys, how about exerting strength beyond their own limits?

So Wang Gui accepted Ji Xinghe's mechanical leg modification plan, and began to receive Ji Xinghe's combat guidance with the mech fighters in the training area. After Wang Gui was gone, the blind man desperately wanted to see Ji Xinghe, Seeing Wang Gui's progress or recovery, he finally agreed to install the mechanical eye.

The operation was completed, and the short-term recovery and adaptation were completed. The blind man who wanted to go to the training area to see Ji Xinghe's demeanor in a real sense, but saw an old man who was dying, so he couldn't believe it and didn't want to believe it.

"Is he really an old man?"

"Yeah, I can still lie to you. Besides, who else is the oldest person in our No. [-] base besides Lao Ji?"

The nurse next to her responded to Wang Gui's question in a low voice, her words seemed to be taken for granted, she was telling the truth.Of course, the oldest person on the alien planet is not Ji Xinghe, but the first batch of people who came to the alien star. They stayed on the alien planet for more than 30 years, from the age of 40 to 70, and witnessed the development of human beings. History on alien planets.But these people are very few, and the only ones are in the No. 2 base. Before Ji Xinghe arrived in the No. 50 base, the oldest one was only [-] years old, and he was the commander-in-chief of the No. [-] base.

It can also be said that Ji Xinghe raised the upper age limit of Base No. 15 by nearly [-] years on his own.

"Then why..." The blind man didn't know how to ask, when he really saw Ji Xinghe, he felt too much disappointment in his heart, because his previous expectations were too high.

The nurse was stunned for a moment and then understood, sighed and continued to answer in a low voice: "It's not because of poor Xinxin, Sister Rong wanted Xinxin to return to Azure Star earlier, so she had been giving Xinxin non-standard treatment before. After Sister Rong left... Lao Ji also likes Xinxin very much, and I don’t know where to get the contribution points to give Xinxin a non-standard treatment, but now there is no medicine.”

The blind man was a little confused, he half understood what he heard. "Sister Rong? Non-standard treatment? Myrrh?"

The nurse hesitated for a while and then said: "Oh, there is nothing to hide. Many people in the base know about it. Xinxin is Lao Ji's granddaughter and the daughter of my colleague Rong Jie. The problem is that you can’t go back to life on Azure Star, you should know this, you have been trained, let you take care of yourself.”

The blind man does know that the management of the Federation is actually very humane. Even if it is the military, the barracks are actually combat bases, and what is generally called a base is a living base.Soldiers in the barracks, whether they are mecha fighters or regular soldiers, actually have holidays. They can come to the base to rest during non-wartime.Compared to Azure Star, the base's living and entertainment facilities are not worth mentioning, but they are invaluable on Alien Star.

Soldiers and base personnel can fall in love freely, which is not prohibited, the only thing that is prohibited is infertility.Strictly speaking, it is infertile on alien planets.Not much to say, the blind man already understood the reason why Ji Xinghe suddenly became like this, so he also asked the question that Ji Xinghe had been asking these days.

"What about the medicine?"

"Run out."

"Have someone deliver it. Don't supplies come from Azure Star every month? What's the point of a little medicine? How much transportation space can it take up?"

"But this medicine is not sent from Azure Star, but from Base No. [-]. Azure Star does not have it, but No. [-] Base has it. It is possible to apply for production on Azure Star. There is no need for a production line for any medicine, and it can be prepared in the laboratory. There is not much shipping space, but the problem is time. If you apply now, it will take three months at the fastest to be delivered.”

Although the base has supplies and personnel supplies once a month, the voyage from Azure Star to Alien Star is about three months, that is to say, the supplies for the next two months or even three months have already departed from Azure Star , and no application had been submitted before that.

The blind man has been serving on the Alien Planet for five years, so he understands it when he hears it. He also knows that the facilities in the No. [-] base are not complete, and each base on the Alien Planet has its 'specialties' of each base.

"What happened to the third base?"

"Base No. [-] is fine for the time being, but there is something going on between us and Base No. [-]. It's difficult to get through on the ground and in the air. There are no planes on alien planets. Drones can fly but there are communication restrictions."

There are no planes on alien planets, because the atmosphere of alien planets is very, very thin, helicopters are excluded first, and there is not a single helicopter on alien planets.All jet planes and fighter jets are also not good. Their principle is that a large amount of high-temperature and high-pressure gas is produced after the combustion of air and kerosene in the combustion chamber. It’s because of the thin atmosphere of the alien planet, the air inlet can’t take in air normally, and it can’t be pressurized normally, kerosene can’t be fully burned, let alone release high-temperature and high-pressure gas, it’s useless to release it, the atmosphere is thin Provide sufficient reaction force.It's like when a person scratches the air with his hand on land, he won't generate propulsion, but he can swim in the water.

"What about individual starships? What about spaceships?"

There are only two means of transportation that can fly on alien planets, and they are the two that the blind man asked. The former was tried to steal by Ji Xinghe, and the latter was ridden by Ji Xinghe.

The nurse looked at Ji Xinghe who left the medical area in a depressed mood, and sighed: "The war is tense, you should know better than me why you don't use it."

Because compared to the war, the medicine needed by a child who should not appear on a foreign planet is not worth mentioning.

The blind man finally understood why the Ji Xinghe he saw was completely different from the Ji Xinghe he heard, not only because there was no medicine, but also because the child who was very important to Ji Xinghe was actually not the same to many people. important.

He knew very well how much Ji Xinghe liked that child and cared about that child, not only because Ji Xinghe took her with him when he went to the training area and when he went to the mech area, but also because the blind man knew the medical treatment that the nurses couldn't understand. Where does the fee come from.

That was earned by Ji Xinghe holding three jobs. When a 65-year-old man was taking care of a child in Yixing, he had to hold three jobs, all for that child.And the three part-time jobs are not easy, fighting with young people in the training area, rushing to repair mecha parts with young people in the mecha area, and grabbing the opportunity to test the real machine with mecha fighters... Study, but also tell stories to that child.

Does he sleep well every day?

Can his body really handle it?

His hair has turned gray in a month, is it because he is almost unable to hold on?
