Mecha and Knife

Ji Xinghe really needs to spend his mind to guide the mecha fighters of the remnant company, that is, the six of them. Among them, the guidance of the blind, deaf, and cyclops is relatively simple, especially for the deaf, who have been installed with cochlear implants and artificial auditory nerves. , The recovery speed is only slower than that of the blind man.

"Actually, I have nothing to teach you, because things like fighting are not entirely a matter of skills. You need to practice your muscle memory, and it is more up to you to control yourself and the mecha. In fact, I think you You can be my teacher in terms of mecha piloting."

Ji Xinghe looked at the mecha fighters standing in front of him, and said calmly: "I think that the only thing I can do to help you is to strengthen your beliefs, to tell you that human beings have limits and there are no limits."

Everyone felt a little strange that Ji Xinghe rarely said such words to them. The previous teachings were full of practical experience, and then practiced through actual combat for them to master.But today... no, it was the two days after the blind man left. Ji Xinghe, who was calm on the surface, was actually a little irritable. The longer the blind man left, the more obvious his impatience became.

"The cripple said it before." Ji Xinghe used the name cripple, no one objected, just like everyone called him Lao Ji, it was just a title. "The average strength of the orangutans on the Azure Planet is four times that of ours, and the average strength of the orangutans in the Empire is six times that of ours, so you have always had a concept in your heart that you are nothing without the mecha, but That's not the case, at least I don't think so."

"Lions, tigers, sharks, orangutans, they are all more powerful than us, but they are not the masters of the blue planet, we humans are. You will say that it is because they have no intelligence and cannot use real tools and weapons, while the empire's Not only are chimpanzees no dumber than us, they have the same mechs as us. Yes, they do, but they didn't beat us, and they couldn't beat us."

Ji Xinghe paused for a moment, glanced at the people in front of him calmly, and then asked softly: "Speaking is worse than doing. Facts speak louder than words. If I say that I can defeat an orangutan with bare hands, an orangutan of the empire, do you believe it?"

Everyone looked at Ji Xinghe in shock and astonishment. They felt that Ji Xinghe was sick, and it was not serious.

"Old Ji, are you alright?"

"Old Ji, don't worry, the blind man is very powerful, and he will come back soon after going to the war zone, so don't rush yourself out."

"really?"

"Old Ji, do you know how fierce the imperial orangutans are? Not to mention the imperial orangutans, even the orangutans on the blue planet are also called beasts. It's really impossible without weapons. If we have weapons, it doesn't have weapons. You can still try, Lao Ji, you can’t do it.”

"Everyone is so familiar, how do you teach us how to practice, don't brag, you can brag about the fact that you defeated Major Han Li for a lifetime."

Ji Xinghe didn't brag about himself. He also felt that he was not good enough and had to have weapons, but after coming to Yixing for more than a month, he could feel that he could do it.It wasn't because the alien planet's gravity was too low that his self-confidence swelled, but because the high-intensity work and fighting made him understand his current physical fitness and combat power more and more.

More than four months ago, he broke the iron man post at home. At that time, he thought it was because he had beaten the iron man post for too long and had metal fatigue. He hoped that it was because his kung fu had improved.

But now he can say responsibly that his kung fu has indeed gone a step further.

"As I said before, facts speak louder than words. I'll call you when the blind man comes back. You can help me these few days, tell Instructor Li and the others to let him agree and help apply." Ji Xinghe expressed calmly: "This is my gift to the blind, and it is also my gift to you. This gift is called faith, and it tells humans that there are no limits."

Old Ji was playing for real. The soldiers in the training area were silent. Thinking of Ji Xinghe beating them like an adult beating a child, like an imperial orangutan beating them, they suddenly had some trust. Maybe it is really possible?

However, the fact is that it is not possible, not because Instructor Li did not agree, and the base has enough force to protect the safety of Ji Xinghe when he was fighting the imperial orangutan in prison, but because the blind man could not come back.

In the mission logs of all the mech fighters in Base No. [-], there was a push for a non-compulsory mission: search and rescue mech fighter Li Lin.

Search and rescue is not rescue, because no one can be sure whether the lost Li Lin is alive or dead.

The newly promoted third-level mech fighter Ji Xinghe also received this task notification. He hesitated, but he still chose to accept the task.

……

……

Chapter 056 Sir, how do you choose?

The special and complex environment on the surface of the alien planet has greatly affected human communication technology, just as there are no conventional planes on the alien planet.Therefore, it is not uncommon to lose contact. Not only individual mechas will lose contact, but sometimes even the entire team will lose contact.

It may be because of the magnetic field movement of alien stars, it may be because of various ores that can release electromagnetic waves, it may be because the atmosphere is too thin to block the electromagnetic radiation produced by solar flares... But this time the blind man's loss of contact is somewhat rare.

"The high-altitude reconnaissance satellite did not capture the traces of the imperial army, and for the time being, no imperial mechs were found in the Sanliu Canyon area. The frontline troops in the theater sent intelligent drones into the Sanliu Canyon for investigation, but the intelligent drones also lost contact. ..."

In the training area of ​​No. [-] base, Lieutenant Colonel Chen Xun, who seldom appears here, came with more detailed mission information, and standing in front of him were three mech fighters who accepted the mission of searching and rescuing the blind man.

Although the battle is tense, there are not only three mech fighters left in the No. Protect Base Six.

"The frontline troops in the theater cannot send scouts and reconnaissance mechs, because this is likely to attract the attention of the imperial army, which will cause us unpredictable consequences. If the imperial army starts to explore the Sanliu Canyon, they may directly cross the Our blockade, found the exact location of Base [-] and our Base [-]."

The Sanliu Canyon is the grand canyon that connects Base No. 370 and Base No. [-]. In fact, it is not a connection in the true sense, but it is located between the two bases with a length of about [-] kilometers, just across the current No. [-] Base and No. [-] Base. War zones between bases and blockade lines.

"The empire doesn't have satellites, because the satellites they launched were all shot down by us, so they don't know the exact location of all our bases, military camps, and mines. This is one of our only advantages in this war, So I don’t want to emphasize to you how serious the consequences would be if the Imperial Army discovered the location of our two bases.”

Without satellites, there is no real global vision. Ji Xinghe, who was at the scene, knew this very well, just like his panoramic map when playing games.A federation with high-altitude reconnaissance satellites is, in a sense, like a player with a full-view plug-in, while an empire without reconnaissance satellites can only rely on unmanned intelligent reconnaissance aircraft with a short flight distance and easy to lose contact , just like ordinary players, they can only see the illuminated area on the small map. If the unmanned intelligent reconnaissance plane of the empire is destroyed and the relevant detection equipment set up is unplugged, the area they could originally see It will also return to darkness.

Lieutenant Colonel Chen Xun's eyes were focused on Ji Xinghe, his expression was expressionless and his tone was stern.

"From this point of view, the goal of this mission is not only to search and rescue Second Lieutenant Li Lin and his mecha, but also to find out what abnormal situation happened in the Sanliu Canyon. If there is really an imperial mecha hiding Our high-altitude reconnaissance satellite appeared in the Sanliu Canyon. This mission will not only be very dangerous, but also affect the lives of more than [-] people in bases No. [-] and No. [-]. The safety of all the soldiers on the blockade in this area is also related to our strategic layout in the entire alien planet, and even the form of war between our Federation and the Empire."

Ji Xinghe understood why Lieutenant Colonel Chen Xun said so seriously and why he looked at him, but he looked at Lieutenant Colonel Chen Xun without squinting. When the medicine arrived, I suspected that he didn't understand the possible great risks of this mission.

After Lieutenant Colonel Chen Xun stared at Ji Xinghe for a while, his eyes shifted to the two mecha fighters next to him. These two people are first-class mecha fighters, and one of them is a mecha fighter in charge of guarding the base. , and the other is Wang Gui.

"I hope that this mission will not have any risks. It is because of abnormal environmental interference in the Sanliu Canyon, and because Lieutenant Li Lin's mech has been damaged. The staff thinks that the probability of this non-imperial factor is 93% %, but there is still a 7% possibility after all. And when the frontline troops cannot send troops to the Grand Canyon, we can only send two mecha fighters to carry out this mission. I hope it is the two of you."

The deaf man in the distance clenched his fists tightly, but the manicured nails were embedded in the palm of his hand, a trace of blood appeared but no one noticed, he failed the re-examination, he was more hopeful than the cripple and the left-handed brother, but he still Failed, only Wang Guizhong passed the exam except for the blind man in the remnant soldier company, and Wang Gui passed the exam half an hour ago, which was the third time he had retaken the exam in more than a month.

Ji Xinghe also clenched his fists. He shouldn't have recommended himself when someone could carry out this task, but just as he didn't want the blind man to go for him at the beginning, he felt that it was his business. And he felt that he was stronger than Wang Gui and that first-level mech fighter.

"But I can't decide which two of you will go. This is not a purely combat mission, so it can't be decided based on your strength. In a sense, this is actually a mission that depends on luck. As a soldier I don't believe in luck, but a lot of times we have to. So draw lots."

Ji Xinghe loosened his clenched fists. He was not surprised that this kind of thing would be decided by lottery. He had already inquired about it when he accepted this task, just like most of the death squads in the ancient army formation. Under the circumstances, it is also decided by drawing lots. This has nothing to do with luck, but I just don't know how to choose.

Instructor Li walked over with a metal box in his arms. He was the first to walk up to Ji Xinghe and whispered: "Old Ji, I admit that your test scores are very good, even better than Wang Gui, but... this is not a joke. , Think about your granddaughter, don’t reach out, can you?”

Lieutenant Colonel Chen Xun standing behind frowned, but said nothing.Wang Gui and another first-level mech fighter didn't change their expressions, and they didn't want Ji Xinghe to go either.

But Ji Xinghe stretched out his hand and put it into the metal box without any hesitation, grabbed the three metal balls in it and felt it.

It is for my granddaughter, so I must go.

Ji Xinghe didn't say the words in his heart, but silently took out his right hand and unfolded it. It was a round black ball, which was almost the same as the other two balls in volume, weight, shape, and color. There is no difference, but there is a very short red line on it, which is drawn with paint.

"No, start over."

Wang Gui was the first to refuse, because the red line represented that Ji Xinghe was going.

Shen Mu in the distance hasn't seen the ball in Ji Xinghe's hands yet, but he understands what Wang Gui said, and the second one doesn't agree: "Old Ji is cheating, he is an eighth-level fitter, he can feel the three balls The difference. Really, you believe me, although it sounds unbelievable, but Lao Ji can really feel it, come back, let Lao Ji touch it last."

There are three metal balls, two represent participation in the action, and one represents non-participation. The probability of not participating in the action must be the highest if the person is touched first.

Another first-level mecha fighter also said aloud: "I think, we are all in the age of intelligence, so there is no need to be so primitive in drawing a lot, right? Let the central computer of the base draw randomly."

The central computer can be completely random, or it can be controlled by humans.

Instructor Li turned his head to look at Lieutenant Colonel Chen Xun. He was the only one present who could make a decision, but Lieutenant Colonel Chen Xun, who was always ruthless, hesitated this time.

What Ji Xinghe is afraid of is this kind of hesitation. When he was in Azure Star more than four months ago, he also saw this kind of hesitation and rejection for various reasons, and his choice at that time was to 'use' Pei Jing.Although Su He is by his side now, Su He can't play a key role on this occasion. The difference is that Pei Jing was broadcasting live at that time, while Su He was recording.

Ji Xinghe suddenly made a sound, and the temper that was willing to be cut into pieces after his son died appeared again: "In a second, I can break both of their legs, don't force me."

Everyone was shocked. If there were no last three words, Ji Xinghe would just tell the truth, but adding the last three words...it was a threat.

Wang Gui, who had been beaten by Ji Xinghe many times, and the first-level mecha fighter who was also beaten by Ji Xinghe in the training area, naturally believed in Ji Xinghe's strength, and the two of them jumped away without hesitation and wanted to leave Ji Xinghe. The galaxy is a little farther away, but they just jumped up before they could feel the extraordinary jump height and distance in the low-gravity environment of the alien star, when they suddenly felt their necks tighten.

Ji Xinghe, who is 1.92 meters tall, stood in place holding two first-level mecha fighters, one in each hand, and looked at Lieutenant Colonel Chen Xun as if he was carrying two little chickens.

"Sir, how do you choose?"

Chapter 057 Worshiping God Is Better To Become A God

Ji Xinghe finally has his mecha, although it only belongs to him temporarily. Just like the other mechas, this one has only just been repaired.

The 4.2-height mecha is actually not that high, because Ji Xinghe's height has recovered from 1 meters to 9 meters, but when Ji Xinghe stands next to this mecha, he still gives people the feeling that a child is standing in the middle of an adult. The feeling around Han, because the mecha has not only height but also width and thickness, just like a car with a length of 1.92 meters can seat five adults, and the trunk can be squeezed to stuff things.

In fact, the Federation's first mechs were only two meters high. They were more like exoskeleton armor than mechas, which were upgrades to conventional spacesuits.The average weight of spacesuits that can protect human beings in the alien surface environment and space environment is as high as 60 kilograms. The weightless environment in space is better, but in the low gravity environment of the alien surface, the overweight spacesuit will Affecting the mobility of human beings, exoskeleton armor can not only provide protection, but also provide a booster system based on the mechanical structure itself.

The Federation's mecha is also derived from the exoskeleton armor. The mecha is not a Gundam but a mobile armor. An individual mecha can be called a heavy mecha if it exceeds 5.5 meters.The firepower and armor thickness of heavy mechas are indeed much higher than those of conventional individual mechas, but their flexibility will be greatly reduced. When facing artillery fire, they can only use themselves as targets to fight hard, and the end is often miserable.

Just like those imperial mecha formations, after their precise location was discovered, began to encounter fire coverage from space, their air defense systems could not completely block all the firepower, and their size and weight were larger than those of the federal mechas. Many of the tall and cumbersome imperial mechas were damaged by such fire coverage attacks.

"If you find imperial mechs, don't even think about fighting them one-on-one. You can bully the few with the more you can. There is no morality in war. Don't even think about fighting with one against ten. One against three won't work either."

Wang Gui stood next to Ji Xinghe and chattered. He didn't care about his mech inspection at all, partly because of his trust in the mechanics in the mech area, and partly out of worry about Ji Xinghe.

"Old Ji, I know you are very good at fighting. I am nothing in front of you without a mecha, and I can't beat you with ten. I even want to believe that you can single-handedly fight against the same unarmed imperial orangutan with your bare hands. But with mechas, it’s not necessarily so. Not to mention Major Han Li, even Major General Li can’t fight ten against one, because real battlefields and battles are very complicated, and it’s easy to lose sight of others. Therefore, If we really encounter the Imperial Mecha, you must not be impulsive. It is the most important thing for us to spread the information, and the second most important thing is to save our lives. This time it is not a mission of fighting to the death and we have no position to hold on to..."

The Major General Li that Wang Gui said was Li Yuanba, the only mecha fighter who could get the rank of general. The other eight ace mecha fighters in the federation had the highest rank only as a colonel, and the rest were colonels or lieutenant colonels, because Mecha fighters are just fighters after all, and they are just good at fighting. To become a general, you need not only be able to fight, but you don’t even need to be able to fight. For example, Ji Xinghe once said that he would fight ten times. major general.

"There is also the choice of weapons. Newcomers are generally superstitious about bullets and shells, and will choose to mount machine guns or barrels on their mechs. But the effect of bullets or shells is actually not good. The armor defense of the Imperial mecha It is very strong, as is ours, and it can also be evaded. It is very difficult to use the guns on the rack to hit the vital points. Moreover, combat with mechs is generally close-range combat, and it may also be difficult to use more powerful weapons. Hurt yourself. The most important thing is that if the bullets and shells are empty, the pendant of the machine gun and the muzzle will become a burden..."

While Wang Gui was chattering, Ji Xinghe had already selected the weapon for his mech, not the weapon system but the weapon, because Ji Xinghe only chose two knives.

"Eh? What kind of knife is this? Why haven't I seen it before? Is it too short?"

Wang Gui was stunned for a moment. The sword that he had never seen in a first-level mecha fighter was naturally designed and built by Ji Xinghe himself.Judging from the length of the two knives, compared with the 4.2-meter-high mecha, the two knives seem a bit too short.

"Eight chopping knives."

Ji Xinghe gave the answer, but it was not the correct answer, because the eight-cut knife is actually a kind of knife technique and not just the name of a certain knife. The knife itself can also be called the palm knife. A combination of knives of different sizes, generally only the length of an adult's arm.After they are separated, the cross flat looks like a butterfly, so some people call it a butterfly knife or a butterfly double knife.There are also people who use double swords, one long and one short, long and short. After reaching a certain level, it doesn’t matter if you have a sword in your hand, because the practice is the method, that is, the method of the sword is the method of using the eight methods of Yongzi, so it is named eight cuts. Knife.

After accepting the mission and confirming that he was driving the Federation's No.16 generation standard mecha, Ji Xinghe personally built two mecha-specific eight-cutting knives in the mecha area. Because it is too simple, it is not difficult to manufacture.The length of the blade and the handle is only one meter. Because of its width and the hand guard, it is considered a big sword for humans, but it is too small for mechs.

"Old Ji, I was wrong. I shouldn't have told you that mecha combat is all about melee combat." Wang Gui looked at the two knives and was a little flustered, although he didn't think that he would encounter them when he went to Sanliu Canyon this time. Combat: "Actually, it's not that close. You are a martial arts practitioner. Don't you know the truth that one inch is longer and one inch is stronger? And there is no need to use two swords. You can use an alloy shield. If you encounter artillery attacks that cannot be avoided , the alloy shield is very useful."

"There is another reason that one inch is short and one inch is dangerous." Ji Xinghe emphasized casually. He is actually very good at long weapons such as spears and sticks. The long sticks used in the 06:30 stick method in Wing Chun are of average length. Between 2.4 meters and 2.7 meters, this is compared to the height of a human being.If it is replaced by a mecha, the length must be doubled, so it is undoubtedly a long weapon.

But Ji Xinghe actually had a hurdle in his heart, that is, when he and Han Li were engaged in mech battles in the virtual world, the long spear he used failed to do what he wanted when the tip of the spear was cut off by Han Li. He stabbed Han Li to death first.

At that time, he said in his heart that he would use a knife instead of a gun in the future.

"But this..."

"My mecha, I have the final say."

Ji Xinghe became domineering again, which made Wang Gui subconsciously want to back off, he didn't want to be picked up by Ji Xinghe like a chicken, it would be embarrassing for no one to see, let alone Su He Are the reporters following along?The eyes of [-] million people can't die anymore.

"Okay, anyway, we are on search and rescue missions and reconnaissance missions, and your mecha is also equipped with basic machine guns and artillery systems."

Wang Gui ran to see his mecha. Ji Xinghe, who had already taken a fancy to his own mecha, hung a toolbox on the mounting point on the back of the mecha with his own hands, and then went to see his granddaughter.This is actually very difficult, more difficult than when he was negotiating with Major General Tu Yuan, more difficult than when he came to Alien, more difficult than when he made the decision to accept the mission before, and more difficult than when he threatened Lieutenant Colonel Chen Xun.

But it's actually not that difficult.

"Grandpa, Xinxin will obediently wait for you to come back."

Until this moment, Xinxin didn't know why Ji Xinghe left the base, because no one told her, and would avoid her when it came to related matters.So in Xinxin's view, Ji Xinghe is just like when her mother went to work and worked overtime, just going to work.

"Okay, Grandpa will be back."

Ji Xinghe was very reluctant, and also felt that what he did was a bit cruel, but who can always be at ease on a foreign star?And he had to go, because this time the mission was only to search and rescue the blind man and investigate intelligence, and there was no mission requirement to go to the No. [-] base to get medicine.Wang Gui would be willing to help him, and the blind man would be willing to help him, but he couldn't always count on others to help him, and now the blind man... he remembered the kindness of the blind man.

Not far away, Shen Mu was eavesdropping, and couldn't help but pat his thigh after hearing Ji Xinghe's words.

Su He next to him frowned.

"what happened?"

"It's over, the old Jili has flagged, just like a blind man. Such things are usually said in TV dramas and movies..."

"What the hell are you talking about, bah bah bah."

"Ah? Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was wrong, I was crowed, bah, bah, bah..."

Su He sighed: "Actually, it's okay, Lao Ji doesn't care about this."

"Why? Aren't older people very superstitious?"

"Because Lao Ji is a mechanic just like you, because...you know what Lao Ji said when I advised Lao Ji not to go, and said that I could ask Second Lieutenant Wang Gui to help me get medicine to No. [-] base? "

"What did you say?"

"He said...begging others is better than asking oneself, and worshiping gods is worse than becoming a god."

……

……

Chapter 058 Have you seen the Venus on my mecha?

In the Grand Canyon with an average depth of 500 meters, the blind man was running desperately without turning his head, but he could still clearly see the three imperial mechas chasing him, because he was no longer blind , and there is a camera behind his mecha head.

The line of sight brought by the mechanical eyes is still a little unaccustomed. When looking at things, it is like watching a video with someone through an ancient mobile phone screen, but it is absolutely impossible for him to mistake the three mechas for the imperial mechas.

The Imperial Mecha is derived from the Federal Mecha, because the Imperial Orangutans did not need to wear bulky spacesuits on alien planets before. The relatively light spacesuits allow them to fight in a low-gravity environment. The combat effectiveness of the alien planet below exploded again.When they ran, the bullets fired by the heavy machine guns could not catch up with them.

Not because they were faster than bullets, but because they were faster than a Union soldier firing a gun, faster than a muzzle could be aimed and moved.In this case, when the combat distance was shortened, the powerful physical fitness of the imperial orangutans combined with weapons formed a crushing massacre against the federal soldiers.

So the Federation had mechas, took back the resources of the occupied bases and rebuilt new bases, as well as barracks, mining areas, blockades, and so on.But besides the orangutans, the empire also has very smart monkeys. According to the information obtained by the Federation, the orangutans in the empire are all soldiers, while the monkeys are all technical monkeys such as scientists and mechanics.

When the first federal mecha was captured by the empire, the possibility of the empire's mecha appearing was infinitely close to [-]%, and when the second, third... the mecha was captured by the empire, the soldiers of the federation finally Saw Imperial Mechs on Alien.The first-generation Imperial mechas were very similar to the Federation's standard mechas, with a simpler structure, but this simplification did not affect the combat effectiveness of the Imperial mechas, because the physical fitness of the imperial orangutans far surpassed that of Federation humans, and the mechas they drove It may be weaker than the Federal Mecha in terms of performance, but it is generally stronger than the Federal Mecha in terms of combat effectiveness.

As a result, the Federation has new mechas generation after generation, but the performance data of the imperial mechs has not stagnated. They also have new mechas generation after generation.The scary thing is that every imperial orangutan can become a mech warrior, but not every human being can be a mech warrior.What's even more frightening is that the reason why the empire is called an empire is because it is a feudal monarchy. It can gather the power of the entire empire or the entire planet to build war weapons such as mechas, but the federation cannot.

"Damn it, why do these dogs and orangutans appear in the Sanliu Grand Canyon?"

The blind man is actually very puzzled, because this grand canyon does not have any strategic value. Although there are some precious mineral deposits in it, it is extremely difficult to mine.The depth is one reason, the cliffs on both sides often collapse is one reason, and the electromagnetic radiation produced by these mines can affect communication signals and electronic equipment is another reason.

The reason why the blind man lost contact also lies in the latter.

"Is it because..."
