Mecha and Knife

The battle video continued. The entire Xinghe team assembled, with eight vs. eleven, and finally achieved the complete annihilation of thirty Imperial mechs. Among them, Ji Xinghe single-handedly defeated fourteen of them, and assisted his teammates in defeating three.

For the first time, the frontal team battle ability of the Galaxy Squad was displayed in front of all the super mecha fighters. Many of them thought that the Galaxy Squad was not worthy of the name, but now they have changed their minds.

"Now." Rovich asked again: "Tell me, can you do what Lieutenant Ji Xinghe has successfully done in this entire battle?"

The divided battles are not at the same level of difficulty as the entire battle, and success once does not mean success every time.The consumption of physical energy, as well as the mistakes that will inevitably occur during the battle, will more and more affect the outcome due to the longer battle time.

The 116 super mecha fighters started to make choices again, and their selection time was much faster than last time. It only took 30 seconds for all members to submit their answers.

"Are there only 27 people who think they can do it? Very good." There was no disappointment on Rovich's face this time, and he repeated the previous question: "So, among the 89 people who chose not to escape just now, who think they can't escape?" Those who have done all this, please tell me, what kind of consequences will it cause us to miss such important information because of your choices?"

Some super mech fighters bowed their heads in shame, they finally understood the reason why Rovich questioned them again and again.

But Rovich's questioning did not stop because of this, he questioned again.

"27 people who think they can do it, please tell me now, if you are not driving your custom-modified mecha, but the Federation No.16 generation mecha that is exactly the same as Lieutenant Ji Xinghe, you can still do it. Arrived? Just to remind you, the mecha driven by Lieutenant Ji Xinghe has only modified the core engine and replaced the nuclear fuel cell, and the engine is the No.11 generation."

The options appeared again, but this time only in front of 27 super mech fighters.

The answer soon appeared in front of Rovich, and he laughed inexplicably.

"There are only nineteen, not bad, really not bad."

But after saying this, the smile on Rovic's face disappeared, and his expression became indifferent.

"If it's not a wartime, and you all have combat missions, only you can participate in the meeting that should be attended by all super mecha fighters. Then, I will ask you to be sent to the fifth base, so that you can see the meeting with your own eyes. 65 year old man, let you all be beaten by him. I finally believe that none of you can beat him, even if you are younger than him and have more gold stars than him."

Heh, it's the same as the old guy you can beat.

Major Jackson, who participated in the meeting, sneered. In the case that Major Han Li was unable to participate in the meeting because of his mission, he was the person who knew Ji Xinghe's strength best in the audience, because he was beaten by Ji Xinghe .

"Jackson." Rovich's eyes were good, after all, he was an ace mech fighter.

"arrive."

"why are you laughing."

"I'm laughing... I'm laughing. After they've all been beaten up by Lao Ji, they won't make fun of me and Han Li."

"Is this funny?"

"Report sir, this is not funny."

Rovich looked back at Jackson, and looked at the other super mecha fighters.

"The orbital airborne tactical mech kit has been successfully researched and approved for use. Lieutenant Ji Xinghe will participate in the selection. I hope that you will not lose to him this time."

"Yes."

Chapter 139 Grandpa, We Fight Together

Ji Xinghe and his Xinghe team, who finally returned to the No. [-] base, did not get together with Master Liu and others for a longer time. When they arrived, the transfer convoys of No. [-] and No. [-] bases were ready. And the task they received was to set off immediately.

"Thank you and take care."

Ji Xinghe accepted the gift they gave Ji Rong Xinyue, waved his hand and said goodbye, because goodbye may mean never seeing him again.

Running all the way without any trouble, it took three days to transfer the convoy, and finally arrived at the relatively safe No. [-] base. The sudden increase in the population of No. [-] base did not fall into a situation of resource constraints. The Federation has long been aware of this. Prepare.

Ji Rong Xinyue was very happy after receiving the gift, and Ji Xinghe's return intact made her even happier.

"Grandpa, what does orbital airborne mean?"

For many people, it is still confidential information, which was unreservedly disclosed by Ji Xinghe to Ji Rong Xinyue, even including the miniaturization of the leap gate device, Ji Xinghe also told Ji Rong Xinyue.

This is not a leak. It won't take long for everyone on the entire alien planet to know this temporary confidential information. The empire will not keep using this big killer when the diamond-shaped metal body has been exposed.

Similarly, what was originally a major weapon for the Federation to deal with this war was also put into use in advance because of the appearance of the diamond-shaped metal body.

"Orbital airborne is to take a spaceship or a space battleship, or it may be a modified individual starship, go to the low-earth orbit of the alien star, and maintain the speed that can appear above any surface position of the alien star at any time. When it’s time to jump right off the top.”

"Ah? Then grandpa, don't go, okay, it's so high, it must be very painful to jump off." What Ji Rong Xinyue wanted to say was not pain. Her precocity surpassed everyone's perception of her, just because of some words I don't want to say it.

"Grandpa doesn't have to go. However, it really won't hurt, because if grandpa goes, he will jump off the alien orbit wearing a mecha and have a parachute."

"Parachute? I know, I've learned it before." Ji Rong Xinyue's reaction was different from Ji Xinghe's expectations. She seemed to be asked a question by a teacher in class, and she said with a normal expression: "Many, many years ago, Xinxin didn't Remember, our Tianwen alien probe in Longzhou used a parachute, and Xinxin remembers that it seemed to deploy a zigzag umbrella with more than [-] square meters, and then cooperate with the main engine of the probe to slow down."

"Yes, Xinxin is really smart."

Ji Xinghe breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Ji Rong Xinyue's expression and was a little worried, and began to explain in detail. These are all the information Tu Yuan told him.

"At that time, the Tianwen detector weighed five tons, which was much heavier than the mecha worn by my grandfather. After using the parachute, the detector was able to decelerate from a speed close to Mach 95 to [-] meters per second. The mecha from The parachute used during the orbital airborne will not be as big as two hundred square meters, but it can slow down the landing speed of the mecha even more, and combined with the power device of the special kit for the orbital space mecha, it can achieve a non-destructive orbital airborne..."

Listening to Ji Xinghe's science popularization, Ji Rong Xinyue thought about it, and then asked when Ji Xinghe finally finished speaking: "Grandpa, is it because of the jump gate device that you are going to be an orbital airborne mech fighter?"

Ji Xinghe nodded: "Yes."

"Because of me?"

After Ji Rong Xinyue finished asking, he replied: "Because grandpa doesn't know when the leap gate device will suddenly be placed where Xinxin is, and at that time grandpa doesn't know whether you will protect Xinxin by her side." Is it? So, grandpa is going to leave Xinxin temporarily to become an orbital airborne mech fighter?"

Ji Xinghe was stunned, and Su He next to him was also stunned. They didn't expect Ji Rong Xinyue to say such a thing.

"Grandpa doesn't have to go, grandpa won't go."

Ji Xinghe's heart softened. He agreed to consider Tu Yuan's proposal because of Ji Rong Xinyue, but just as he chose to give up taking on more responsibilities and obligations for Ji Rong Xinyue, let him choose again, choose another Thousands of times, he would make the same choice.

This world is not as important to him as Ji Rong Xinyue, but without this world, can Ji Rong Xinyue really grow up happily?

Ji Xinghe, who would make the same choice [-] times again, who knows the torment he endured in his heart?

Ji Rong Xinyue did not bow her head this time, but looked up at Ji Xinghe's eyes with her small head, stretched out her right hand and clenched her fist, and waved it vigorously in the air.

"Grandpa, you go, don't worry about Xinxin." Ji Rong Xinyue said firmly: "Mom said that even if she misses Dad very much, even if Xinxin misses Dad very much, she must support Dad's decision. .Because there are more people who need the protection of their father and more people need the protection of their grandpa. Only a country can have a family. Although Xinxin does not understand why, Xinxin knows that her mother is right and her father is right. Therefore, grandpa must Do it right."

The childish voice sounded beside the two adults, but it shook their hearts like Hong Zhong Dalu.

They thought of Ji Rong Xinyue's mother, a mother who 'give up' her mother's love for this war. From a certain point of view, such a mother is selfish, and her choice does not affect Ji Rong Xinyue at all. fair.

From a certain point of view, such a mother is great. She is willing to dedicate everything to this war that concerns all mankind, including feelings, maternal love, and life... What kind of child can such a mother teach? Woolen cloth?

They thought of Ji Rong Xinyue's father. Su He had never met Ji Chenxing, but Ji Xinghe knew his son very well.But whether you understand it or not, it is an iron fact that Ji Chenxing sacrificed for this war. What kind of child would such a daughter inherited from a heroic father be like?

Ji Xinghe thought of himself, he respected Ji Chenxing's dream, knowing that Ji Chenxing might die in a different star like countless others, but he didn't use his father's identity to force Ji Chenxing not to join the army.

The sky fell and there was a tall man holding it up, but Ji Xinghe didn't say this to his son, so his son became the tall man.After the sacrifice of his son, he chose to be the tall man without any worries.

When Ji Rong Xinyue appeared, he chose to become a dwarf.It can be said that Ji Xinghe's philosophy is that only a family can have a country, but he has always respected those who think that only a country can have a family.

But now, Ji Rong Xinyue, who said that only a country can have a family, is educating Ji Xinghe, who believes that a family can only have a country.

There are serious conflicts of ideas between grandparents and grandchildren, but they are inherited in one continuous line because they respect each other's ideas.

The granddaughter is not proud of her grandfather's love and favor, and the grandfather does not influence her will because of her age.

"Xinxin."

"grandfather?"

"Actually, you don't have to be so sensible."

"But if I'm not sensible now, then I won't be sensible when I grow up. If we are all ignorant, when we grow up, we will lose."

Su He's hand holding the camera was trembling. He was shocked beyond measure by the conversation between the grandfather and grandson. How much he wanted to send this conversation back to Azure Star and show it in the documentary "The Old Man and the Stars and the Sea" , the sooner it is released the better.

The children of this generation should not be like Ji Rong Xinyue, but there must be children like Ji Rong Xinyue among them.

Everyone who fought on the alien planet is getting old, and the people who have made various contributions to this war on the blue star are all getting old.Not everyone can grow old and strong like Ji Xinghe, and Ji Xinghe, who is old and strong, is getting old.

Only children like Ji Rong Xinyue are growing up.

When the adults of this generation grow old, if this war has not been won, if there are no more children like Ji Rong Xinyue grow up and shoulder the responsibilities and obligations of the previous generation.

Then this war will definitely be lost, and human beings will be enslaved or even destroyed by the empire. The future forged with flesh and blood by the ancestors will disappear in the hands of the future they sacrificed their lives to protect.

"Grandpa." Ji Rong Xinyue held Ji Xinghe's right hand with both hands, and looked up at Ji Xinghe: "Xinxin really wants to be accompanied by grandpa every day, but Xinxin doesn't want to lose, because Xinxin knows that her mother doesn't want to lose." , Dad doesn't want to lose, grandpa doesn't want to lose, each of us doesn't want to lose, and we can't lose."

"Yes, we don't want to lose, we can't lose."

Ji Xinghe squatted down, looked into Xinxin's eyes and said seriously: "Grandpa promised Xinxin that we will not lose."

"Well, we will definitely not lose." Ji Rong Xinyue patted Ji Xinghe's shoulder like a little adult, and his tone was as serious as Ji Xinghe's: "Grandpa has to wait for Xinxin, when Xinxin grows up, he will definitely be able to become a Mecha warrior, Xinxin will join Grandpa's Star River Squad and fight side by side with Grandpa."

Ji Xinghe knew that what Ji Rong Xinyue really wanted to say was not 'wait', but 'don't die', he nodded firmly and held Ji Rong Xinyue's hand tightly.

"Okay, grandpa is waiting for you to join grandpa's Xinghe team. We, grandpa and grandson, will fight side by side."

Ji Rong Xinyue nodded heavily, stretched out her hand and clenched her fist again, and waved towards the sky, as if waving towards the sky full of stars covered by the ceiling, her face flushed and her voice was high.

"Squad Galaxy, invincible!"

"Squad Galaxy, invincible!"

Su He next to him also wanted to shout loudly, but he forcibly held back, he really didn't want to spoil the picture and sound of only the grandpa and grandson.

If every family in the Federation could be like Ji Xinghe's family, wouldn't this war have already been won?

It is not necessary for them to have the talents and strengths of the father and son Ji Xinghe and Ji Chenxing, nor the belief and attitude of the mother and son of Ms. Rong and Ji Rong Xinyue. It is only necessary that they can do their best like this family. Come support this war.

But if every family in the federation needs to be like this, how cruel is this war?Isn't the sacrifice of a few people just so that more people don't need to die because of this war?

Doesn't it mean that the adults who choose to sacrifice now represent that the children in the future don't have to sacrifice?

The emotions in Su He's heart were agitated and complicated. He thought of the wish he had made, and he added it silently in his heart.

May Xinghe not grow old, may Xingyue be well.

May the Xinghe team be invincible, and may this grandpa and grandson... only have half their lives as soldiers.

Chapter 140 In the name of training, revenge

It was confirmed that he was going to participate in the orbital airborne mech fighter test, but Ji Xinghe did not leave the No. [-] base immediately.It's not that he regretted and hesitated again. Ji Rong Xinyue's 'education' to him was very successful, and he didn't go for the time being just because the related equipment needed time to manufacture.

"Lieutenant Ji Xinghe, we have already understood your relevant physical data. It is estimated that it will take ten days before we can customize your orbital airborne mech kit for you. Please confirm again, you will continue to drive the Federation No.16 Is it a standard mech?"

"Yes, I want to drive the Federation's No.16 generation standard mecha."

Ji Xinghe confirmed that if feasible, he even wanted to drive the first generation of federal standard mecha, which was the first generation of mecha he came into contact with and used for the most time.But the first-generation model that can continue to be used in the game of Interstellar Glory has long been eliminated in the Alien Battlefield, so he chose the [-]th-generation standard mecha that he is second familiar with.

In terms of real driving experience, the No.16 generation mecha is the one he is most familiar with. The real operation experience of all other types of mechas is limited to the actual machine test in the machine repair area of ​​No. [-] and No. [-] bases.

"Okay, we will restore the No.16-generation standard mecha that Lieutenant Shen Mu modified for you before, and use that mecha as a prototype to design and manufacture your orbital airborne mecha kit."

The mecha used by Ji Xinghe in the second battle in the canyon was damaged, but it has been repaired but it has not become the modified mecha this time, because compared with the mecha personally modified by Shen Mu who has been promoted to lieutenant, the mecha of this mecha is more powerful. Although the models are the same, there are some gaps in performance.

Ji Xinghe, who already has 36 gold stars, decided to join the Orbital Airborne Mecha Corps, and it was worth transporting that mecha to the corresponding location.

"Thank you."

After completing the test and related data records, the rest is not to wait quietly. Ji Xinghe can do a lot of things in ten days, except for the machine repair work that has been carried out normally after returning to No. [-] base, and the role of instructor in the training area. Besides, he has a new task.

In other words, he has a new batch of students.

24 children, including Ji Rong Xinyue, aged between five and seven, lined up in front of Ji Xinghe imitating the appearance of adults. Their eyes were full of curiosity, but this kind of curiosity But not against Ji Xinghe.

They quietly turned their little heads, focusing on the mecha fighters and soldiers who were training not far away, especially those mechas who were undergoing corresponding training, which made them all have an urge to rush up to watch and touch.

However, just like Ji Rongxinyue's sensibleness makes Ji Xinghe feel distressed, each of these children who were born and raised on the alien planet is more sensible than their peers on the blue star.Those children who live in a comfortable environment can't imagine the daily life of the children on these alien planets.

They were full of curiosity in their hearts, but because of what the adults said, they insisted on standing here in line. With their hands behind their backs, they held their heads high and imitated the appearance of the adults as much as possible.

One.

Ji Xinghe felt very sad when he saw this number. Base No. 24, Base No. 100, and Base No. [-], the three bases add up to only these [-] children, and among the six living bases on the alien planet before , more than [-] such children lived.

Part of the treatment was completed and returned to the blue star in a spaceship, but judging from the time when Ji Xinghe came to the alien star, not all the children who failed to appear here were able to return to the blue star.

He failed to see the child he knew. In the cafeteria of Base No. [-], a lady brought the child over to thank Ji Xinghe for taking back the special medicine from Base No. [-] to express her gratitude and gave some small gifts. , and said something to Ji Xinghe.

But now, the child who is the same age as Ji Rong Xinyue is not here.

Taking a deep breath, Ji Xinghe's expression and eyes became indifferent. He scanned the children including Ji Rong Xinyue standing in the queue, and spoke in an indifferent tone that Ji Rong Xinyue had never heard before. Voice.

"You guys, do you want to become mech warriors?"

"I want to." "I think I want to." "Can I become a mech warrior?"

A corner of the training area became noisy in an instant, attracting many distressed glances, and those gazes were quickly retracted after a few glances, as if they couldn't bear to look at these children.

"To shut up."
