Mecha and Knife

"Pretend." Shen Mu pouted after ordering the installation: "Old Ji, you can really pretend, the eighth-level fitter is amazing, if there is no such test, you think I can't pass it?"

Ji Xinghe didn't respond. He watched the mecha reinstallation and started the real machine test again. This time, there was still no problem with the system test, and he was fine.

"okay."

Even if Shen Mu is the person who trusts Ji Xinghe the most in the entire machine repair area, he can't help but question at this moment: "Is it really okay?"

Ji Xinghe looked at Shen Mu with calm eyes, and said softly, "You may really fail the exam, for now."

Not to mention that it’s okay for the time being, but for the time being it means that Ji Xinghe is not joking, and Shen Mu, who was offended, became angry: "Do you want me to help make old man music?"

"Yes, but it's not Old Man Le, it's Xingyue."

"I don't care, I'll call it Old Man Le. I've said it long ago. I'm in a hurry with anyone who dares to choose another name."

"Xinxin took it."

"Well, let me just say, the old man Le's name doesn't sound good, Xingyue sounds so good, plus your two swords...Old Ji, do you have any sword skills that descend from the sky? If you have one, you can call it Xingyue Zhan." One knife is a shooting star, the other knife is a crescent moon, and the moon and stars cut down like falling to the ground, which sounds very domineering, handsome, isn’t it, Xinxin’s name is awesome.”

Chapter 075

He said he wanted to build mechas, but it wasn't that easy to start, because Ji Xinghe couldn't make a non-federal mecha by himself.

While waiting for Shen Mu and Master Liu to finish their work, Ji Xinghe did not rest. He was doing what he could in the mecha area, and using the spare time to perfect the design of Xingyue.Compared with when he was designing Old Man Le, Ji Xinghe's understanding of mechas is now far beyond. In his opinion, many of the designs he insisted on before really correspond to Shen Mu's argument when he was arguing with him in the spaceship. the words said.

"Do you really think that you, a wild man, can be better than the best mech designers in the Federation? Do you really think that your own thoughts can be more thoughtful than millions of professional practitioners in the Federation? Do you really think that You, who have never driven a real mecha, know better than the mecha fighters what kind of mecha we need?"

But now Ji Xinghe is not a wild way. He obtained orthodox theoretical knowledge through Shen Mu and Master Liu, and became a professional mecha-related practitioner. He also drove a real mecha and won three gold stars. Major Jackson, the mecha warrior, was a tie in the second-generation simulation system.

Xingyue completed the final design, and entered the building schedule after Shen Mu and Master Liu exhausted the parts that could assemble the mecha.At this time, the dust storm near the No. [-] base has lasted for a month. Occasional recovery of communication has allowed many finished mechs to be transported away. The risk of transporting mechas in the dust storm is very high, which can only show that the current war is very tense. .

"These are all ours, hahaha..."

Shen Mu put his hands on his hips and looked up to the sky and laughed loudly. There was no sky above his head, only the dark metal dome of the warehouse, and in front of him were all the mecha parts (remnants) of the No. Federal-style mecha parts, and some imperial mecha parts, are similar to what Ji Xinghe had harvested on the battlefield before.In short, they are all tasteless, tasteless to eat, and it is a pity to discard them.

"I need to pay." Master Liu reminded from the side, and then looked at Ji Xinghe worriedly: "Old Ji, I must help you, we can't be idle anyway. The moon is created, and they won't let you fight anymore."

Xinxin is not here, she is still in school, so everyone can talk freely, but Su He, the 'instigator' who made Ji Xinghe unable to fight anymore, looked at the silent Ji Xinghe and couldn't help but said: "Actually, there is still a chance to fight, we Taking advantage of the battle situation, they will definitely want Lao Ji to brush up his record. The publicity effect that a veteran covered in gold stars can bring is definitely much better than that of a mechanic, even than Major Han Li covered in gold stars. better."

"Does Lao Ji need to improve his record? Hehe..." Shen Mu sneered: "As my apprentice, Lao Ji's strength is unquestionable. Who can guarantee to win him in a one-on-one match? Han Li lost, Jackson lost Already, I think General Li Yuanba is coming soon."

Everyone looked helpless when they heard this, Su He mocked: "Add the title of general without adding the title of major, Second Lieutenant Shen Mu, it seems that you are less sick than we thought."

"You are the only one who is sick. You sent back those videos. It is your fault that Lao Ji lost his mecha." Shen Mu's words and deeds did seem to be sick, but the people around him were not surprised , especially Master Liu and others who have been on the alien planet for many years.

They all knew that Shen Mu just couldn't bear the heavy work and extremely boring life on the alien planet.There are many young people in their 20s like Shen Mu on Azure Planet. Their lives are actually very tiring, but they have their own ways of relaxing.Play games, watch movies, TV series and novels, go out to eat a good meal and reward yourself, watch other people’s beautiful life on social platforms, find a girlfriend or boyfriend, get married and have children, etc...

But Shenmu didn't have it, and everyone on the alien planet didn't have it. There were a lot of people in the base, there were a lot of people in the barracks, and there were a lot of people in the mining area.But among the crowd in these places, the vast majority of people will feel a sense of loneliness, because they are thousands of miles away from home, literally thousands of miles away.

The psychiatrists at the base are very busy, and the real treatment is self-defense.In this regard, Ji Xinghe's age gave him a great advantage, and Xinxin brought even more help.

"All right, all right, I'm sick." Su He was in a good state of mind, and urged, "Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and pick out parts, don't wait for the dust storm to end before Xingyue's main body is built."

"Oh, look down on me, Shen Mu?" Shen Mu rushed towards the innumerable parts in the warehouse, and said loudly: "As Lao Ji's apprentice, I can't shame him, and as Lao Ji's master, I can't give him It's shameful, you can just take a picture next to me, if I don't look handsome in the picture, I'll challenge you to one-on-one."

There is one thing to say, Su He really can't beat Shen Mu, although Shen Mu didn't start to learn kung fu from Ji Xinghe, but Shen Mu has a lot of physical labor as a mechanic, and his physical fitness is better than Su He, a war reporter who often works out.

The effect of most people insisting on exercising is not as good as those engaged in manual labor. Ji Xinghe also has an advantage in this area. He not only practices martial arts but also has been engaged in physical labor. Car repair is not only a technical job, but also a physical job.

"Hey, old Ji, if it doesn't work, you can teach Shen Mu a few tricks. I'm afraid he will go crazy if he continues like this." Su He whispered to Ji Xinghe, and Master Liu and others beside him also nodded in agreement.

"I taught, but he really doesn't have the talent to practice." Ji Xinghe paused after explaining a sentence: "Well, I will force him to practice, divert his attention to add new hobbies, and then arrange some actual combat training for him. He vented and vented."

"It's ok, teaching one is teaching, and teaching a hundred is also teaching. You have taught more than 600 people, and you are no less than Shen Mu." Su He is also very concerned about Shen Mu's psychological problems.

"Then let's start too." Master Liu said: "Let's pick out all the parts that are suitable for Xingyue first, and then we can talk about whether they can be used. First, check these parts and register them in the catalog, and then buy them when they are really used. Then repair or something."

"Okay, thank you."

"What are you talking about, Lao Ji, you have helped us a lot. Besides, this is Xinxin's face. I really thought you, Lao Ji, could invite so many of us alone, hahaha... "

Amidst the laughter, a group of professional mechanics, led by Shen Mu and Master Liu, began to select parts from chicken ribs.Su He was on the side to shoot, he took pictures of Shen Mu and Master Liu and others, but the real protagonist was Ji Xinghe who personally selected the parts.

"Old Ji, actually..." Su He hesitated and said, "You don't need to build your own mecha. When you really need to use you, I will definitely prepare a standard mecha for you. Let me tell you, I don't need it. It’s better to build a few more knives, two for each generation of standard mechs, and then upgrade the material function of the knives, increase the high-frequency oscillation characteristics, high-temperature characteristics, etc., and you can participate in the battle at any time. The mecha made of spare parts is much stronger. It's made of chicken ribs, isn't it still..."

Made with chicken ribs, isn't it still chicken ribs?

Ji Xinghe knew that what Su He said was very reasonable, and he also knew that everyone, including Shen Mu, Master Liu and others, actually thought so. It was just because he was old and everyone had some free time recently that they were willing to help him, but he insisted To build his own mecha.

"Xiao Su, do you still remember what I said when you didn't let me go to the No. [-] base to get medicine?"

Su He remembered that only a limited number of people like Su He and Shen Mu know that sentence now, because it was related to Xinxin at the time, so this sentence was edited out. In the second official video of "The Old Man and the Stars and the Sea", there is no Introduce why Ji Xinghe must go to the Grand Canyon.

Ji Xinghe said at the time: It is better to seek oneself than to seek others, and it is better to become a god than to worship God.

The mecha he was driving was taken away just after it was sprayed with three gold stars, which already explained why Ji Xinghe must build his own mecha.

Su He, who was serious about shooting, looked at Ji Xinghe who was selecting parts in the camera and checking the integrity of those parts, but he thought of another passage Ji Xinghe said, the passage about dust.

Ji Xinghe, who calls himself Dust, has never been Dust, but because he was willing to be ordinary before, he is as ordinary as Dust.If Ji Xinghe is really a piece of dust, then maybe Xingyue is the wings of this dust of Ji Xinghe.

Su He thought so.

Chapter 076

The final design of Xingyue is not like the shooting star and crescent moon mentioned by Shen Mu, but like a full moon.

"So fat."

Shen Mu thought of the Old Tou Le designed by Ji Xinghe at the beginning. Compared with the design of the Old Tou Le, Xingyue actually looks similar except for the lack of tires and the fat body with stacked tires.

"No way, these discarded parts are too useless. They can't support the relatively slender design at all. We can only make it fatter. But it's better to be fatter. If you are fatter, your defense will be stronger. Battery life The ability can also be improved because of the body size, and the oxygen and nutrients needed to maintain the driver's survival can be brought more. In short... fat people are blessed, and so are the mechs, hahaha..."

Master Liu looked at Xingyue's three-dimensional drawings and couldn't help but laugh. It was the first time he had seen such a fat mech design in his many years of work.As we all know, the bigger the body, the lower the flexibility, and flexibility is very important for mechs.

Su He next to him was also looking at the [-]D drawings, and could barely see something.

"Although Xingyue is very fat, isn't there an overclocking mode? As long as you enter the overclocking mode, all the outer armor can be removed, and the flexibility can be greatly improved. Usually he looks like a bulky fat man, but when he fights, he overclocks and becomes A handsome mecha, I think it's very handsome."

Shen Mu nodded in agreement: "That's right, the moon can be sunny or waxing, and the moon and stars can be full moon or crescent moon."

Master Liu patiently explained: "There is indeed an overclocking mode design, which can greatly improve flexibility and speed. But that also means that Xingyue's defense ability will be greatly reduced, um... just like the ancient war. Wearing heavy armor at the time, although I can't run fast, and my physical strength is difficult to support a long-term battle, but it can protect my own safety very well. Once you take off the heavy armor, you may be beaten by someone on the battlefield at any time. Death. And the battery life will also decrease. If you don’t overclock, it’s very easy for Xingyue to attack thousands of miles. After overclocking, you only have 15 minutes of combat time, and 15 minutes on the battlefield is really useless.”

Su He laughed: "Old Ji doesn't go to the battlefield. If we really go to the battlefield, we must have the upper hand. Or our space firepower covers the attack. First bomb the imperial mecha formation and then go up to harvest ,It's fine."

Master Liu nodded in agreement, Shen Mu hummed twice, turned and left, and found a place to start repairing Xingyue's parts, so Master Liu and others also started repairing.

Because they are all waste parts like chicken ribs, in addition to spending money to buy them, if you want to use them, the biggest cost is the repair of these waste parts.It's not that there are better parts in the base, but the problem is that Ji Xinghe can't afford them, he can only buy this kind of cheap chicken ribs.

It is good enough for Shen Mu and Master Liu to help out, Ji Xinghe can't ask someone to borrow money, right?

Inexplicably, Ji Xinghe suddenly missed Jackson.

The work of repairing parts is very cumbersome. Thousands of parts need to be repaired, and some parts need to be disassembled into smaller units for repair. It is estimated that it will take one month to complete the repairs. There is still a lot of dead wood. And when Master Liu leads a team to help.

If it weren't for the dust storm, Ji Xinghe could not complete the repair work within a month with Ji Xinghe's own strength, and even if he was given another month, he would not be able to complete the final design of Xingyue. He was alone in the warehouse. It takes several months to select suitable parts for Xingyue.

In the process of everything step by step, unexpected joy suddenly appeared.

Ji Xinghe's fame and Master Liu's connections in the No. [-] base for so many years have made many mechanics in the mecha area come to help, and the progress of repairing parts has been greatly improved.

"Old Ji, we didn't help you before because we wanted you to give up. It's useless after this thing is built. When you really need to go out, you can't just pick the standard mechas. As long as there are mechas in our base .”

"That's right, I read the design plan, that is, the overclocking mode is still a bit messed up. If the conventional form is exhausted, it is the level of the seventh generation of our federal standard mechs. It is not 01:30 behind. But your overclocking mode is not as good as It’s called death mode, without the outer layer of protection, it’s useless after being hit three or two times, even if you don’t get hit, the battery life won’t work.”

"You can't say that. Xingyue's regular form is still tricky. The defense is super strong. It's over when you hit it. No matter how many imperial mechas it has, it's rampant. Mechas are called humanoid tanks. Design is back to basics.”

"Bump your head. It's all made of discarded parts. After a few hits, it will be useless. You let Lao Ji sit in the mech as a target."

"That's true, but, old man, why do you insist on sitting in the mecha? Our standard mechas are all in the standing driving mode. Your old man Le drove while sitting, but Xingyue still sits Come on, I don't think you are physically weak, you have very good legs and feet."

"Because Lao Ji used to be an auto mechanic and an experienced driver. After driving a lot, he knows the benefits of sitting down. If possible, I hope I can drive while lying down. It's so comfortable."

"You have a problem. Although I don't understand, you must have a problem."

Although the professional mechanics in the mecha area were full of doubts and distrust about the design of Xingyue and the materials used to make Xingyue, when they found that Ji Xinghe was not joking, nor was it because of his 3-minute interest, and also When Master Liu who didn't recognize him was also helping Ji Xinghe wholeheartedly, they began to help with all their strength.

It only takes ten days for Xingyue to complete the construction work, which makes Ji Xinghe feel much better suddenly, but the accident still came after all.

Ding, ding, ding...

A series of notification sounds suddenly sounded, coming from the wristbands of the mechanics who were repairing Xingyue parts in the mecha area. It was the news of the mission log update.

"Eh? Has a damaged mecha been delivered? The dust storm is not over yet."

"This is... our mecha, the mecha of our base."

"Everyone in the operating section 86, follow me, immediately, immediately."

"Everyone in the operating section 109, please take your place. Old Ji, I'm sorry."

Amidst the shouts, some mechanics put down the Xingyue parts they were repairing without hesitation, went back to their own operating areas, began to make preparations according to the task log, sorted out the maintenance equipment needed, and went to the warehouse to get the relevant ones. parts and more.

The other mechanics who did not receive the task also put down Xingyue's parts and nervously looked at an entrance of the mechanics area.Three tractors drove in from the entrance one after another, each dragging a damaged mech behind them, the front mecha had an Imperial stabbing gun stuck in its chest, and on the seriously damaged frontal protective armor, there was The dark brown blood stains that silenced the entire mecha area.

The second mecha lost its left arm, and lay covered in bruises on the hanging board being dragged by the tractor.The damage to the third mecha was even more serious. Its entire back lying on the hanging board seemed to have been disembowelled, and the cockpit was exposed to the sight of the mechanics.

It is conceivable that the mecha warrior who was in the cockpit before...

Mechanics in a total of ten operation areas received the task. They have to work together to repair the three mechas. Under normal circumstances, each operation area has the ability to independently repair one mecha, so this is not a normal situation, but It's an emergency.

Mechanics who did not accept the task did not have the thought of repairing Xingyue parts at this time, because they knew that the three damaged mechas were just the beginning, and there were only 6 usable mechas in the No. 36 base before the dust storm. After the dust storm, the number became [-], and all the rest of the mechas, whether they were repaired or newly built, were all sent to the war zone.

"Imperial mechas appeared near the base. They somehow crossed the blockade line. There are not many of them, but because of the dust storm..."

Su He quickly inquired about the news and informed Ji Xinghe.

"En." Ji Xinghe just responded, and continued to repair Xingyue's parts. After Shen Mu next to him took a look at Ji Xinghe, he also continued to repair Xingyue's parts. Shen Mu did not receive the maintenance task, but Master Liu received it.

thud thump, the sound of military boots stepping on the ground sounded, and someone came to Ji Xinghe's side.

"Have you had enough?"

Lieutenant Colonel Chen Xun's voice didn't make Ji Xinghe stop what he was doing, he didn't even talk to Lieutenant Colonel Chen Xun, because he was in a hurry now.

"Corporal Ji Xinghe, a second-level mecha fighter." Lieutenant Colonel Chen Xun said sternly.

"Here." Ji Xinghe finally stood upright and responded loudly.

"Go to the combat zone to report, task, and stand by."

"Yes."

Ji Xinghe strode away from the mecha area, leaving behind his Xingyue, Su He followed closely with a camera, Shen Mu who stayed at the spot silently glanced at Ji Xinghe again, this time only saw his back.

Then bowed his head, Shen Mu continued to repair Xingyue's parts, he was the only one left, but Xingyue didn't have many parts to repair.

Chapter 077

Xingyue, which was originally planned to be completed in two days, could not be completed as scheduled.Ji Xinghe, who was supposed to build mechas by himself in the original plan, came to the combat zone of the No. [-] base for various reasons, and was idle for various reasons.

Like him, there are 62 mecha fighters, but the number of mechas available at the No. 31 base is only 33 at this time. Just now there are [-] mechas. One mecha was damaged in battle and was dragged to the mecha area for repairs, and the other is currently in a state of being lost.

Sitting next to Ji Xinghe, Instructor Li was sitting upright, looking at the corner of the big screen in front of him with a very serious expression. This is the standby area of ​​the No. [-] base combat area. The outside screen of the base was observed, but at this time the outside screen was full of dust storms, so I couldn't see anything clearly.

The information that Instructor Li is focusing on at this time is the radar-like image in the corner of the big screen. There are 21 green light spots in the circular area, representing the 21 mechas and 21 mecha fighters who have left the base. Groups around the base spread out for detection.

There are still 63 mecha fighters left in the base (including Ji Xinghe and Instructor Li), but there are only ten spare mechas left.From the point of view of quantity, Ji Xinghe can go back to build his Xingyue, but he has to stay in case of emergency, because the mecha can be repaired quickly if the mecha is broken, but the mecha warrior cannot be completed quickly if he is injured. Healing, if sacrificed...

The green dots on the small map kept flickering, because the communication signal would be interrupted suddenly due to the dust storm, and some even did not reappear for several minutes after disappearing, which made Instructor Li very worried.It finally reappeared, but suddenly disappeared within 2 minutes, which made Instructor Li even more anxious, and couldn't help standing up.

Sitting like a bell, Ji Xinghe looked at Instructor Li but said nothing. Young people are rarely able to hold their temper. Although Instructor Li is in his early forties, he is indeed a young man in front of Ji Xinghe.

"Old Ji, come out with me."

Instructor Li shouted, and left the standby area straight away, Ji Xinghe got up to follow.Outside is a not-so-long passage, crossing the passage to the armor-piercing area, the remaining ten mechas in the base are all standing here, the cockpit doors are all open, and some mechanics are repeating a lot Second inspection work.

Instructor Li stood at the exit of the passage and looked at the ten mechas, and said anxiously: "How did they come here? Even if there is a dust storm, it is impossible to break through our blockade so easily. Aren't they afraid of being attacked? "

There are three types of federal blockades on alien planets, one is a warning blockade outside the military area, and it can be called a sentry.One is the false blockade of 300 taels of silver here, which is used to interfere with the empire's detection of the specific location of the federal military district, base, and mining area.The last type is the real blockade, which protects the demilitarized areas of the Federation on alien planets, such as bases and mining areas.

Under strict defense conditions, it is very difficult for imperial mechas to appear near the federal base, so even if there is a dust storm, the number of mechas left behind at the No. 36 base is only increased to [-], but now they have appeared.

The reason is unknown, the method is unknown, and the quantity is unknown.

Ji Xinghe did not respond.

"Old Ji, I haven't been to the battlefield for too long, and this is the first time I've encountered this situation, so I'm very nervous now. But I can't show this nervousness in front of them, it will make them more nervous." Instructor Li explained a sentence and then said: "You are different, your mentality is very good, and you shouldn't need to go out this time."
