Mecha and Knife

"But I heard that this time he teamed up with Major Jackson to destroy an earl-level imperial mecha, and it took a long way to complete the destruction."

"That was broken by Major Jackson, but not by him. I saw his mecha when he came back, and there was no damage at all. Maybe it was pinned by the side. Major Jackson's mecha had a lot of damage. .”

"Then his 45 gold stars have too much water."

Life in the camp is actually very boring, except for fighting and training, they can't do anything.They just ended a counterattack, occupying an imperial camp, and they haven't even fought recently.

Everyone has a gossip, and professional soldiers are no exception.

"Keep your voice down, he's coming."

"Why keep your voice down, I just want to ask him when he's here."

In the cafeteria, Ji Xinghe, who just walked in, felt a lot of eyes looking at him, and the emotions in these eyes were a bit complicated.

But he didn't care. He walked to the food outlet and took off his protective helmet. After receiving his lunch, he found a place to squat down and eat.

There are no dining tables and chairs in the canteen in the camp to save resources, so everyone eats squatting.

Ji Xinghe, who was squatting alone, was still not used to eating because he was wearing protective clothing.He didn't need to wear protective clothing when he was in the living base, but he had to wear it all the time in the camp. When he shuttled between each building, he had to be exposed to the surface environment of the alien planet. Without protective clothing, people would die of.

Generally, he would only take off his protective clothing when he was repairing the mecha in the machine repair area, or when he was resting at night, because he had to stay inside the building for a long time at such times.It doesn't take too long to come to the cafeteria to have a meal. There is time to take off the protective clothing and put on the protective clothing, and the meal has already been eaten.

The soldiers in the camp have long been accustomed to this way of life. Many of them wear protective clothing and put their helmets beside them when they sleep.So they ate very fast, but today some soldiers did not leave immediately after eating, but came to Ji Xinghe's side hesitantly.

Ji Xinghe, who was squatting on the ground eating, raised his head.

"What's up?"

"Yes." A soldier plucked up his courage and asked, "Sir, why do you need money to repair the mecha?"

Ji Xinghe frowned slightly, swallowed the food in his mouth, looked at the soldiers, machine repair soldiers and others around him, and replied softly: "Because, I need money very much."

This answer was beyond everyone's expectations, so that no one was able to respond for a while.

"Why?" The soldier who wanted to inquire about Ji Xinghe because he worshiped Ji Xinghe before asked in a daze, "Is your purpose in joining the army to make money? To make war money?"

That's a serious charge.

Ji Xinghe sighed in his heart and asked, "Corporal, what's your name?"

"Sir, my name is Yu Ren." The corporal was a little nervous when he answered, because he was facing Lieutenant Ji Xinghe.

Ji Xinghe stood up, because of his height, he could almost look down on everyone around him.

"Corporal Yu Ren, why do you want to ask me these questions?"

"Because I also want to be a mech warrior, a super mech warrior like you." Yu Ren took a deep breath, looked Ji Xinghe in the eyes and replied: "But I don't want to be like you, earning money in war people."

So it turned from love to hate because the idol's image was shattered?

Ji Xinghe had expected this before, because what he did was indeed a bit ugly, but he had a last resort.

In the message to him, Su He directly raised Tu Yuan's reminder, and also said that the breakthrough of neural link technology has been confirmed.

This also means that his previous worries will become a reality, and the federation no longer needs him, a 66-year-old super mech warrior.After some time, it will be difficult for him to obtain resources related to mechs.

Soldiers like Yu Ren who want to become mecha fighters but are unable to become mecha fighters due to the difficulty of operation may become excellent mecha fighters after a period of time. They all need to be related to mechas. H.

There are also 30 mecha fighters in active service in the Federation. Many of them can greatly increase their strength because of the neural link technology. If the mechas are not enough, why give him this old man who cannot use the neural link technology? ?

But he has to drive the mecha, because only by driving the mecha can he continue to take revenge. Today he is very aware of how ridiculous the request he made to Tu Yuan was.

Not to mention giving him a gun, even if giving him a single starship, what he can do is not as good as giving him a mecha.

It's not that firearms are useless in this war. In fact, the main force of this war is still hot weapons such as firearms and shells, and there are also snipers like Lieutenant Colonel Chen Xun who can pose a threat to mechs, but Ji Xinghe knows very well that he is not Without such a talent, his talent lies in mecha driving and melee combat.

The contribution points that he exchanged for meritorious deeds before were all used by him to complete the upgrade of Xingyue, but Xingyue can continue to upgrade, and upgrading requires resources.When driving Xingyue to fight in the future, Xingyue will be damaged, and resources will be needed to repair it.

So he needs money, and uses money to buy resources.

"Sir." Yu Ren's courage was fading, so he pressed on, "Please give us an explanation."

Do I need to give you an explanation?

Ji Xinghe wanted to say this very much, but he couldn't, because the people he faced were not his enemies, not those who suppressed him, but a group of people who respected him, who had ideals and beliefs group of people.

For the same reason, the real reason cannot be revealed. A suppressed super mecha fighter will inevitably arouse the indignation of these people, which is not conducive to unity.

The same is true for the neural link technology. If he said it, some people would think that his idea was a waste of resources.He didn't want to argue with others, and he didn't want to explain that even without the neural link technology, he was very capable of driving mechs.

Moreover, he felt that it was actually possible for him to use neural link technology, just possible.

So he has no evidence and can't convince anyone now, arguing and refuting will only waste time and energy.

"I'm old." Ji Xinghe decided to tell a lie and make an excuse: "I'm 65 years old, and I'll be 66 in a few days. I don't know how long I can fight. I may die on the battlefield at any time." On. But... I still have a granddaughter, she is only six years old, I have no other relatives, I want to leave something as much as I can before I die, so that she can have a better life in the future. Yes, Yu Ren Corporal, this is my explanation to you, may I ask, are you satisfied?"

Yu Ren was stunned, and the others around him were also stunned.

Ji Xinghe stood there and continued to eat, finished the rest of the food in three or five mouthfuls, then walked out through the gap between the crowd, put the plate in the recycling window, put on the helmet and left the cafeteria directly.

It wasn't until this moment that the people who surrounded him just now finally spoke out.

"I'm sorry, I forgot one thing. Lieutenant Ji Xinghe's son is also a Mech Warrior. He has died, but I really didn't know that he still had a child."

"If you say that, Lieutenant Ji Xinghe seems to be right."

"Yeah, if it were me, I would do the same."

"Hey, Yu Ren, what are you doing?"

Yu Ren who suddenly ran to the outside of the cafeteria said without looking back, "I'll go and apologize to him."

"Then you have to wear a helmet too. I don't think you are Yu Ren's Yu, but a stupid fool."

Yu Ren who hurriedly put on his helmet couldn't find Ji Xinghe to apologize, because Ji Xinghe left the camp after eating this lunch, and the transportation resources he had been waiting for for a long time finally arrived, and he could take his spoils back to five No. base.

In fact, he could leave two days earlier, but at that time there was only one seat, and he couldn't bring his spoils, so Ji Xinghe waited for another two days.

He also has to go back and apologize, because he used Ji Rong Xinyue as an excuse, which is very bad.

Ji Xinghe left as if he had never been here, but a corporal who wanted to become a mech warrior remembered that he owed Ji Xinghe an apology.

He decided to train himself harder to become a mecha warrior, and then join Ji Xinghe's Xinghe team one day in the future, and say sorry in front of Ji Xinghe.

If at that time, Ji Xinghe and the Xinghe team were still there, if he was still alive.

In this war, anyone may die at any time.

Ten days later, Yu Ren, a corporal who was using the second-generation simulation system in the camp to train the ability to drive mechs, suddenly received a mission.

"Corporal Yu Ren, do you still want to be a Mech Warrior?"

"I want to, but my operation is not good enough, and I can't pass the exam. Can you give me some more time? I'm still seventy points away."

"Your operation is really not good enough, but your physical test results meet the criteria for participating in an experiment. This experiment can also be said to be a task. Because there are certain risks, you can choose to accept or refuse. If you pass, you can become a Mech Warrior..."

"I accept."

"Don't you ask about the consequences of failure?"

"No, no matter what the consequences are, I will accept them. But, I have a request."

"Please say."

"If successful, can you let me join the Galaxy Squad?"

Chapter 163 The Name of Faith is Legend

Ji Xinghe, who successfully returned to the No. [-] living base, immediately brought Ji Rong Xinyue who came to greet him, and sent his spoils to the operating area where Shen Mu was.

"It's a good thing, and it's big enough. It's more than enough to transform two Bazhan knives."

Shen Mu looked excitedly at the mecha epee in front of him. Tungsten steel gold is very, very rare in the Federation. Only imperial mechas with earl-level and higher titles can be equipped. It is very difficult to capture, and the quantity that can be captured is also very high. Extremely rare.

Otherwise, Ji Xinghe would not be so cautious about this spoil before.

"Then transform it into four knives." Ji Xinghe remembered that in the last battle, he was cut off by an earl-level mecha. , adding a little weight has almost no effect on the mecha.

"Four? Old Ji, you can't use it." Shen Mu pondered slightly: "And it's not enough to transform it into four. This kind of tungsten steel cannot be added with other materials, which will destroy its structural stability. .”

"According to the style of the eight-cutting knife, it will be transformed into two large two small four." Ji Xinghe looked at the mech epee and said: "Xingyue has two modes. In the overclocking mode, the size will be much smaller, and the required eight-cutting knife is the same. will get smaller."

"Overclocking mode?"

Shen Mu was stunned for a moment. Of course he knew about Xingyue's overclocking mode. He was the one who participated in the design and completed the build himself. It is enough to be able to mentally calculate the material.

"In overclocking mode..."

Because Ji Rong Xinyue was present, Shen Mu couldn't say what he wanted to say. What he wanted to say was the overclocking mode, also known as the death mode.Xingyue, who has removed a lot of protective armor and safety components, is like a fat man of three hundred catties suddenly turned into a thin bamboo pole of one hundred catties, and his defense and battery life will become very weak. It's over, the only end of the choice to continue fighting is death.

"It's just a backup, just in case."

Ji Xinghe didn't say much, but insisted on his own attitude.

"Okay, then I will find a way to transform it into four knives."

After all, Shen Mu agreed, and began to talk about his design ideas: "Xingyue's protective armor has some hollow buffer areas, and two smaller eight-cutting knives can be hidden in it. If you add connecting components, you can enter the overclocking mode. It will not be blown away with the collapse of the outer armor."

"Yes." Ji Xinghe nodded: "The style is the same as before, you can do a simulation calculation for the specific size, and then I will confirm it."

"Three hours, because the transformation of Xingyue has to be calculated to cooperate, and the results will be available in three hours."

"Okay, thank you."

"You're welcome, Old Ji, have you forgotten that I'm also a member of the Xinghe team? Go ahead and we'll get it done together tonight."

Shen Mu didn't talk much with Ji Xinghe, he was really busy recently, this time helping Ji Xinghe build a new weapon can only be done in time.

Ji Xinghe didn't bother him much, and left the machine repair area with Ji Rong Xinyue and Su He who followed him. He has no maintenance tasks today, and the most important thing to do is to check the progress of the children's practice, and come to work overtime at night with Shen Mu Get the weapons.

I didn't take time to accompany Ji Rong Xinyue alone. The process of teaching the children is the time for the grandfather and grandson to accompany each other. Ji Rong Xinyue, who has begun to get used to Ji Xinghe going out to do missions every once in a while, has no opinion on this, at least from now on. In terms of performance, there is absolutely nothing.

She has also had a very fulfilling life recently, practicing martial arts and studying with the children, all of which allowed her to clearly feel her own progress.

"Grandpa, we have a teacher again. Uncle Su helped to find it." When Ji Rongxinyue followed Ji Xinghe to the training area, he began to report on his life during this period.

Su He explained next to him: "There are too many people who come to Base No. [-], but there are not so many jobs. Everyone wants to do something within their ability, so I contacted and added a few teacher positions to teach children. us."

"That's pretty good." Ji Xinghe asked Ji Rong Xinyue, "How is Xinxin learning?"

"Xinxin is doing a good job. Every teacher praises Xinxin." Ji Rong Xinyue looked very happy, and she hopped when she walked.After answering Ji Xinghe's sentence, he kept blinking at Su He.

Su He laughed: "Xinxin is really good at studying. They had an exam the day before yesterday, and Xinxin's grades in all subjects were the first in the class. The Chinese, Eagle Language, and Mathematics exams all scored 95 points. The grades of sports, music, and art are 96, 99, and [-] respectively."

"There's also music and art, that's great." Ji Xinghe looked at Jirong Xinyue with a smile and praised: "Xinxin is really amazing."

"Xinxin isn't good enough." Ji Rong Xinyue said with a proud face: "There are still three subjects that haven't got full marks. Grandpa will praise Xinxin when Xinxin gets the first place."

"Okay, grandpa believes that Xinxin can do it."

"You can get full marks in sports, but you don't need to get full marks in music and art." Su He looked at Ji Rong Xinyue and reminded: "Didn't the teacher say that you have to use your nature? From a human point of view, it is not necessarily correct, the scores of these two subjects are actually not important."

"No." Ji Rong Xinyue shook his head firmly, and said with a serious face: "As long as there are grades, then Xinxin must get full marks."

Su He asked curiously, "Why?"

Ji Rong Xinyue clenched her fists and said, "Because my grandpa is a legend, I can't embarrass him. I want to follow in his footsteps and fight side by side with him."

Ji Xinghe was stunned, he thought of Ji Chenxing's last words to him: Dad, I didn't run away because I didn't want to embarrass you.

And now his granddaughter says she doesn't want to embarrass him.

Su He next to him didn't know about this matter and had a misunderstanding.

"Old Ji, the legend was told by Ma Ergou. When telling stories to children, I told them about your experience, and Ma Ergou said that you will become a legend."

Horse and dog.

Ji Xinghe thought of that child, and also thought of Yu Ren in the camp.

These people have great expectations for him. Yu Ren also thinks that he will become a legend after knowing his record and machine repair ability. He regards him as the goal of life, and wants to become a powerful mecha warrior like him .That's why when I heard that he was actually an old man who wanted money, I questioned him face to face because of disappointment.

For this, he lied.

Now Ji Rong Xinyue also thinks that he is a legend. One day in the future, if this war is not over, Ji Rong Xinyue will definitely join the army, maybe like Ji Chenxing, he will choose to run away in order not to embarrass him. when……

Dispel Ji Rong Xinyue's idea?

Let this child who finally found her goal give up her belief that she was willing to fight for it in despair?

Ji Xinghe knows very well that in order for Ji Rong Xinyue to pass through the third stage safely and have the same physical fitness as a normal person after adulthood, the most important thing is to let Ji Rong Xinyue has a strong spiritual will.

Under the spiritual will, the human body is the first order, and the mecha is not.

Both the human body and the mecha are under the spiritual will.
