Mecha and Knife

"Then what if Lao Ji can apply for the special alloy Shen Mu said as the key part material, and can apply for the most advanced engine?"

"If Lao Ji could apply for it, why did he make the old man himself? Which of the 36th generation mechas is not superior to his old man's performance? If there is a special need, you can also apply for a professional-level modification."

"Yes, if you can apply for it, you must also have the authority to apply for modifying the standard mecha. You really don't need this old man."

"Why are you talking so much? Isn't the old man's music just to make the old man happy? As long as everyone is happy, as long as Lao Ji is happy, anyway, he is a private mech mechanic, it is impossible to drive a mecha, and he even touches it. If it’s not a mech, it’s everyone’s dream of a mecha.”

Yes, everyone has a mecha dream, but not everyone is qualified to drive a real mecha, because driving a real mecha requires very high personal ability.

Let alone a 65-year-old man, even when he was 25 years old and in his prime, most people would not be able to pass the test of a third-level mecha fighter and obtain the permission to drive a mecha.

Everyone no longer discussed, but looked at Ji Xinghe in the distance who was testing his old man Le, and there were not many people who could stand beside Ji Xinghe, Han Li was one, Shen Mu was one, and there were a few mecha fighters standing beside him. Watch closely.

After the external test is completed, it is the driving test. Although there are professional mecha fighters, no one wants to snatch the right of the first test of Ji Xinghe. Climbed in along the metal grille on the outer layer of the mecha.

For this alone, none of the mecha fighters present hoped to be able to pilot the Old Tou Le, because except for the first few generations of federal standard mechas, all the mecha landing pods were on the back of the mechas.

"Old Ji." Shen Mu said loudly: "Why don't we change it and put the landing pod on the back of the mecha, otherwise the frontal defense of your mecha is too weak."

Han Li hesitated for a while and didn't make a sound, but the mecha fighters next to him made a sound without any scruples.

"That's right, old Ji, you put the cockpit on the front, and others will break it for you along the gap. Without the armor layer, your body can't stop the mech."

"The mecha is mainly facing the enemy head-on. When the imperial mecha goes around the back and you can't react, it is almost impossible to fight back. So the defense is mainly concentrated on the front of the mecha. The landing hatch No matter how well it is closed, it is not as effective as a one-piece defensive armor.”

"Also, old Ji, if someone hits your landing hatch head-on, you will really not be able to get out after being stuck. So many experts from the Federation have conducted so many tests, and there are also actual combat applications. , Only then did the fixed design of the landing hatch on the back of the mecha, your modification is meaningless."

While several people were talking, Ji Xinghe had already climbed into the mecha, then sat down without saying a word and closed the landing hatch.

Yes, Ji Xinghe sat down, not stood up.

Seeing this scene, Han Li and the others couldn't help but twitch their mouths. They really didn't understand the shape of Ji Xinghe's brain circuit. All Federation mechs were driven standing up, and the mecha warriors in them had almost There are many reasons for this being consistent with the action posture of the mecha, and there is no need to elaborate, because Ji Xinghe must know it.

In these days, Ji Xinghe was able to let this group of people work together to make mechas for him. In addition to being old and being Ji Chenxing's father, Ji Xinghe himself did have a talent that surprised others. Learning ability, knowledge reserve ability.

But the problem is that Ji Xinghe knows some rules but he is not willing to abide by them. To put it nicely, it is to find another way.

Skillfully fastened the seat belt, put on the induction brain wave, and the helmet that provided the perspective of the mecha, Ji Xinghe put his hands on the two gear handles, and his feet on the two pedals, while in the There is also a pedal between these two pedals.

Ji Xinghe, who was wearing a seat belt, didn't look like he was driving a mecha, but as if he was driving a car.In fact, the cockpit he was in now was indeed not like a normal mecha cockpit, but like the driving seat of a car.

No, it's not a car, because cars have a steering wheel but not here. It should be said that it is like the cockpit of an excavator. In addition to two baffles and three pedals, there are some mechanical buttons.

Through the holographic projection screen in his palm, Shen Mu saw the picture in the cockpit where Ji Xinghe was, and saw those designs that Ji Xinghe ignored after he argued for many times, so he really didn't know what to say.

The old man is happy, as long as the old man is happy.

"Old Ji, activate your Old Man Le, and prepare for the first test. The name of the test is Autobot, transform!"

Chapter 020 The Unknown About Old Man Le

Why is my mech cockpit on the front?

Because when I need to drive the mecha, it must be when my granddaughter's life is threatened. I don't want my granddaughter to be in trouble, so I will take my granddaughter to escape.When my enemies are all behind me, my mech's back armor needs to be more defensive.

Ji Xinghe answered a question about Old Tou Le silently in his heart, he would not tell anyone that he had this idea.Because he is currently a federal soldier, the people who asked him this question are also federal soldiers.

Being timid before fighting is a taboo for the military no matter what era it is, not to mention that Ji Xinghe has not really rushed to the battlefield yet, even if he reaches the front line of the alien star, he will only stay in the base , can be called the safest place on the alien front.

If Ji Xinghe like this is thinking about how to escape, then it is estimated that the major general Tu Yuan, who used his own authority to recruit Ji Xinghe into the army, will personally drive a mecha to chase and kill Ji Xinghe.

Click click!

In the virtual world, the old man Le made up of data sounded the sound of simulating the movement of mechanical bearings in reality, the metal body began to change shape, and the huge body with a height of [-] meters [-] suddenly fell down.

There was a bang, it wasn't the sound of the metal body hitting the ground, but the tire that suddenly squeezed out from the armor layer of Old Toulle's body hit the ground.

There are four tires in total, which is also a design that Shenmu can't bear to look at.

"The transformation was successful."

An electronic prompt sounded in Ji Xinghe's ears, and the images he could see in his eyes also changed, from the dual-screen perspective of the mech to the four-screen perspective similar to a car: the perspective of the front windshield, Left and right rearview mirror angles, reversing mirror angles.

This scene is very familiar to Ji Xinghe, because he is an old driver. As the best car repairer in Xinfeng City, how could he not know how to drive?

The external changes are more obvious. A bloated humanoid mecha suddenly turned into a four-wheeled off-road vehicle, with a body length of 5.5 meters and a height of 2 meters. It looks very different from the off-road vehicles on the market. .

There is no glass structure on the body of this off-road vehicle, it is all made of metal, and all the perspectives from the inside to the outside are captured and integrated by the camera installed on it.

When it comes to cameras, we have to talk about Han Li.There are a total of 19 cameras on Ji Xinghe's old man Le, all because Han Li tried to break his camera many times when he was fighting Han Li before, which brought some psychological shadows to him, so he added a lot of spare ones Camera.

Of course, the psychological shadow is what Shen Mu and others said, and Ji Xinghe himself did not regard the battle at that time as any psychological shadow, it all became his experience.

There is only one headlight, which is located directly in front of Old Tou Le. This was originally a searchlight on the top of Old Tou Le's mecha form. After transforming into a car form, it became the headlight of Old Tou Le.

Without turn signals, tail lights, fog lights, etc., it was not designed to drive on the road, so those lights are meaningless.All of the 19 cameras integrated on the old man's body have night vision functions. Anyway, it is a simulation experiment in the virtual world, and there is no need to consider the issue of cost.

This form made Old Man Le look super defensive, so when the transformation was completed, Shen Mu shouted loudly.

"I would like to call it the strongest old man music in history."

Old man music was originally used to describe a kind of electric car that was popular decades ago. Its compact size allows old men who drive this kind of electric car to shuttle freely among traffic and crowds, causing various traffic accidents. We really had a lot of fun driving this electric car.

But now Old Man Le has long been eliminated, Ji Xinghe has integrated his decades of knowledge reserves, experience as a repairman, and the help of hundreds of people, especially Shen Mu, a true genius leader who has become an expert mechanic in his 20s. With the help from here, the old man music created in the virtual world regardless of the cost is indeed worthy of Shen Mu's mouth as the strongest in history.

It was indeed able to make the old man Ji Xinghe happy. Ji Xinghe, who hadn't laughed for a long time after learning the news of Ji Chenxing's sacrifice, raised the corners of his mouth slightly when his old man Le successfully transformed.

He was actually not happy, but when he thought that the old man Le was designed to protect his granddaughter, his bewildered heart had some direction and purpose.

hum...

The roar of the engine sounded on the old man Le. Under normal circumstances, the word engine is actually just a part of the engine, but in this era, the engine has become a special purpose for the mech, which can combine with the energy provided by the nuclear fuel cell to make the mech explode. Unleash tremendous speed and strength.

Ji Xinghe put his foot on the gas pedal and cooperated with a gear lever in his hand to control the direction, and the old man Le rushed out with a whoosh.

Since it is transformed into a car, it can naturally drive like a car. Driven by the engine of the mecha, the 4.6-ton body weight soars to 2.3 kilometers per hour in 100 seconds as light as a feather, and continues to improve itself The speed disappeared from the sight of Han Li and the others in an instant.

"This old man, what are you doing running so fast?" Shen Mu stood on the spot and hopped: "Isn't his cab designed with two seats? I was still waiting for him to take me to the racing car after he successfully transformed, but he ran by himself. gone."

Almost all mechas have only one cockpit position, and even the very few mechas that can change form can only accommodate one person to drive after the transformation is successful.But the old man Le of Ji Xinghe designed two positions, which is also unreasonable, because more space means that the mecha will be more bloated, which is not conducive to the close combat that the mecha needs most. And the mecha doesn't need two people to drive it.

Ji Xinghe also didn't explain this problem, but insisted on his own design. Others didn't know it, so they didn't compare it with Ji Xinghe.In the entire spaceship, only Han Li guessed the reason why Ji Xinghe did this. He knew that Ji Xinghe had a granddaughter and that Ji Chenxing had a daughter, but the others did not know.

So far, the federal military has still not disclosed the fact that Ji Xinghe has a granddaughter. There are various reasons for this. The most important reason is that this child should not have been born in the first place. Born on a star.

Because of the special environment of the alien planet, the mortality rate of newborns is extremely high, so the Federation has relevant regulations in this regard, and the Federation people are not allowed to conceive on the alien planet.If there is a pregnancy due to a loophole in the safety measures, it must be declared as soon as possible and then leave the alien star and return to the blue star to ensure the safe birth of the newborn.

But the question is, how can a woman who can be valued by a heroic soldier like Ji Chenxing leave the front line of Alien Star because of an unwanted pregnancy?If you return to Azure Star because of pregnancy, you will never be able to go to the alien battlefield again. Not only will you not be able to directly participate in this war, but you may never see Jichen Star again. So there is a violation.

This violation is actually unfair to everyone, and unfair to others, because it is a waste of resources and a violation of the rules.It's unfair to Ji Chenxing, because he didn't know he had a daughter until he died.It's not fair to the girl, because her life is like a new green shoot in a storm.

It is also unfair to Ji Xinghe. He has indeed changed from being a loner to having a granddaughter, but he originally just wanted to die on a foreign star, but now he can't die easily. He wants to use everything to protect his granddaughter. Safety.

Han Li watched as Ji Xinghe's old man Le made a circle and then rushed back, stopping Shen Mu who wanted to rush up.

"Don't go, that position is not for you."

"Is it you, Major Han Li? If it were you, I wouldn't dare to snatch it."

"not me."

"Who is that?"

"Angel."

"???"

Chapter 021 The girl with only a nickname

"I don't think it should be called Old Man Le, it can be called Transformers."

"No, it's called Old Man Le. This thing can't be made in reality."

"Didn't you say that if Lao Ji applies for a special alloy and a twelve-generation engine, it can be manufactured in the real world?"

"With special alloys and [-]th-generation engines, you can create mechas with more combat effectiveness. Why do you want to build this old man?"

Under Shen Mu's insistence, Ji Xinghe is very similar to the Autobot mech of Transformers, and the final name is still Old Man Le. Ji Xinghe didn't insist on this, no matter what the name is, he doesn't mind, as long as it can achieve his goal purpose on the line.

As for the bet he made with his elementary school classmate, if he hadn't watched the documentary about him, he wouldn't have remembered that he once hoped to marry his elementary school classmate's sister.And before he landed on Alien Star, it was impossible for him to watch the documentary about him because of the shortage of communication resources.After he landed on Alien Star, he was not interested and had no time to watch documentaries about him. In addition to taking care of his granddaughter, he also had to complete his current job, repair all kinds of ordnance cars, and manufacture the things he designed. A mech named Old Man Le.

Ji Chenxing's girlfriend died, and he died before he could meet Ji Xinghe. This may be the reason why she has been on the front line of medical treatment in Yixing all the year round, or it may be that she misses Ji Chenxing too much, because of Ji Chenxing's sacrifice. And sad.There is another kind that may be a bit cruel: this is her retribution for giving birth to her daughter on a different planet in spite of the relevant legal regulations.

Although the communication resources of the spaceship are very tight, but because of Han Li and Ji Xinghe, the news is still transmitted.

"Her nickname is Xinxin, but she doesn't have a big name, because her mother didn't want to disclose Ji Chenxing's identity before, and Ji Chenxing didn't know about it. Uncle Ji, don't worry, she is being taken care of very well now, wait a week for you Then you can meet her. I think you should be able to give her a name first."

Han Li didn't call Ji Xinghe Lao Ji like other people, but still used the title Uncle Ji, and he left after telling the news because he didn't know how to face Ji Xinghe.

The son died, and the daughter-in-law also died before they got married. The most sad thing is that the son and daughter-in-law only left a granddaughter with a congenital disease.The most unacceptable but unacceptable thing is that the daughter-in-law also died because of this war, but because the daughter-in-law violated relevant laws and regulations, she could not enjoy the treatment of a hero.

In the process of making old man music, Ji Xinghe has communicated directly with hundreds of people and talked with nearly a thousand people. Ji Xinghe looks no different from a normal old man. He will treat everyone around him indifferently.

But now, Ji Xinghe has once again entered a state of indifference, filled with the feeling that strangers should not enter, and the rotten breath of dying.

In the past ten days, Ji Xinghe has been experiencing his old man music in the virtual world, and asked Shen Mu to help improve the details of the old man music, so that he can truly create old man music in the real world in the future.

But during the last seven days of the voyage, Ji Xinghe seemed to have forgotten his old man Le, and never entered the virtual world again. Every day he sat in the cabin and fixed himself on the cabin wall to read.Although it seemed like a normal person, everyone else knew that something was wrong with Ji Xinghe.

Because the speed at which Ji Xinghe flipped the pages of the e-book on the screen was about five times slower than before, Ji Xinghe, who was reading at a very slow speed, now looks like he is staring at the pages in a daze, and it took him a long time to remember. Then turn to the previous page.

No one bothered Ji Xinghe anymore. Although they didn't know what happened, they could feel Ji Xinghe's emotional changes.Now Ji Xinghe doesn't need them to join in the fun, using all kinds of jokes to divert attention or explain, Ji Xinghe only needs to be alone.

Time passed day by day, and the spaceship, which had been flying in the vacuum of the universe for three months and a few days, finally arrived at the alien star and began to land.Everyone in the spaceship returned to the state they had just boarded, put on their space suits, fixed themselves on the wall of the cabin, and Han Li also returned to his mecha.

No one looks through the portholes to see the alien world, because there are no portholes in the cabin where the passengers are.

Spaceships that cannot directly fly into space on the surface of the blue star can land directly from space after arriving on the alien star. Not only is landing itself easier than taking off, but also because the atmosphere of the alien star is very weak. At every moment, a lot of atmosphere escapes into space, so the air resistance is also very small, so that the outer armor of the spacecraft will not be damaged due to friction during the landing process.The difference in gravity is also the main reason, the foreign star has only one-third of the gravity of the blue star...

These knowledge points emerged in Ji Xinghe's mind. He has actually been reading books and learning knowledge seriously these days. Only in this way can he divert his attention and worry about his granddaughter. He didn't even have time to give her granddaughter Think of a big name.

……

"Xinxin, look quickly, your grandpa is up there."

The federation is located in the No. 6 base of Alien. A female nurse and a little girl appeared at the porthole on the top floor of the base. Through the porthole, the sun outside is very good, and the line of sight is also very clear. The weather near the base today It's normal, there are no inexplicable sandstorms.

Outside the porthole is a huge square, where many vehicles and engineering equipment are parked, as well as missile launchers, armored vehicles, tanks and other weapons and equipment with their heads up. Thirty mechas are scattered in various positions in the square and stand solemnly.

Almost all the squares outside the portholes, which are also objects on the surface of the alien planet, are motionless, except for some self-driving sweepers, which are constantly running back and forth in the square to clean up the dust.

The little girl standing beside the nurse kept her gaze focused on the sweepers. She raised her head to look at the sky after hearing the nurse's voice. A spaceship was slowly coming from the distant sky. The closer the base is to the ground, the clearer the view.

Such a picture, and the words of Grandpa on it, should have made the little girl jump for joy, but the little girl remained silent.

The nurse was a little distressed, Xinxin was not like this in her impression, but since Xinxin's mother passed away due to illness a week ago, Xinxin lay in front of her mother's bed and could not wake her mother up, and then watched others push her mother After the car was taken away, she kept silent.

The six-year-old girl actually doesn't know the difference between life and death, but she can clearly feel that her mother will never appear in front of her again, and it will never be possible to hold her to sleep again. It will never be possible to tell her a story.

Just as she knew very well that her father would never appear in front of her, she was actually more mature than her mother and everyone around her.

Mother is gone, father is not here, so what if grandpa is here?Grandpa can't bring back father and mother.

Xin Xin watched silently as the plane landed on the runway in the square, and then slowly entered the base with the support of the tractor and its own power.

"Let's go, Xinxin, let's go see your grandpa. When we went, they should have completed the physical examination and disinfection, and they can go about their normal activities."

The nurse took the little girl's thin hand and walked slowly to another area of ​​the base. The area of ​​the base is actually quite large, and it would take some time to get there from where they were.

Xinxin followed obediently, and after being silent for almost seven days, she suddenly spoke as she walked.

"Auntie, can I see my grandpa?"

"Ah? Why don't you want to see your grandpa?"

"Because my mother said that if I am disobedient, grandpa will not want me."

"Then Xinxin is obedient. Xinxin has always been obedient. Grandpa won't let you go."

"But my mother said that I have not grown up yet, my mother said that I am not sensible, and my mother said that sometimes I am disobedient not because I am disobedient, but because I don't know yet. Can you wait for me to grow up? Can I be more sensible? ? Then I won’t be disobedient because I don’t know, and grandpa won’t want me.”

The nurse was stunned, then cried uncontrollably, crouched in front of Xinxin and began to wail.She didn't want to cry entirely because of Xinxin's words and stories, but also because she was actually homesick. She is 32 years old this year. When she was 22 years old, she came to Yixing because she didn't listen to her parents, and then she never went back.

It's been ten years.

"Auntie, don't cry." Xinxin patted the nurse on the back, just like her mother often did when she patted her: "Xinxin is going to see grandpa, go see him now, auntie, don't cry."

Chapter 022 I'm Sorry

After landing on Alien Star, Ji Xinghe did not feel the ease he expected. Only one-third of the gravity of Azure Star did not make him as light as a swallow, and he returned to his peak when he was around 20 years old. His self-confidence took a bit of a hit.

"I feel a lot better after taking off the spacesuit."
