Mecha and Knife

But no one cares about this problem.

Because Ji Xinghe has become an ace mech fighter, the conversion of related resources was completed very quickly.

"12 million contribution points equivalent resources, plus a No.[-] generation core engine."

Shen Mu, who temporarily gave up the tasks related to his operation area, had a bad expression when he said the final result.

The other mechanics next to him were even more angry.

Not counting the feats of Ji Xinghe's previous campaign, the total cost of the empire's mechs personally destroyed in just one week in the dust storm exceeded 60 billion.

In the case of almost all recycling, but only got such a small amount of resources, it is difficult to convince everyone.

But Ji Xinghe was used to it and accepted it.

"The twelfth-generation core engine is very valuable. The cost itself exceeds [-] million, and I also got the Lonely Brave, so it's almost the same."

The name of the Lonely Brave was only known to Ji Xinghe after he returned to the No. [-] base. Before that, it can be said that the whole world knew that he was driving the Lonely Brave, but he himself did not know it.

"There is no need to discuss this issue, let's get down to business." Su He held up the camera beside him, and said in a sincere tone, "I hope that everyone can show your most professional level and help Lao Ji complete the design and construction of the new mecha. .”

"Reporter Su, are you doubting our professionalism or our relationship with Lao Ji?"

"Don't think that we will help only if you have a camera. If you don't have a camera, if you don't report us, we will do our best."

"One thing to say, we also want to kill orangutans, and we also want to go to the battlefield to pick up stars, but our strength does not allow it. It is our honor to help Lao Ji in this way."

"Yes, it's an honor for us, so we'll definitely give it our all."

In the case of heavy tasks, the commander of the No. [-] base, Wang Wei, chose to help Ji Xinghe, and dispatched twelve of the most professional mechanics in the base, as well as relevant technical personnel to come to help.

In fact, even if he didn't recruit these people, they would help Ji Xinghe out of affection.

Before the twelfth-generation core engine and materials worth [-] million yuan were in place, the design work on the new mecha had already begun.

Shen Mu, who had been prepared for a long time, took the lead in proposing his preliminary plan.

"Old Ji, let's melt the Guyong."

"Ah?" The organic repairman said in surprise: "Old Ji drives the Lonely Brave so fiercely, with one enemy against three hundred, why should it be melted? I suggest that we use these resources to transform and upgrade the Lonely Brave, so that not only It can improve the performance of the Lonely Brave, and the speed of transformation will be faster."

"I agree with Captain Shen Mu's proposal. The Lonely Brave is powerful because its driver is Lao Ji. The mech itself was designed for the imperial orangutan. No matter how we modify it, it will be difficult for the old Ji to fully utilize it. strength."

"I also agree. I have seen the transformation plan sent back by the old Liu of the No. 129 base. The operation of the Lonely Brave is very difficult. Only 100% of the operation can exert [-]% of its strength. This is obviously not cost-effective."

"I think we should be more cautious, because it will take a lot of time to rebuild. Moreover, the main body of the Lonely Brave is tungsten steel alloy. We don't know much about this alloy. If there is a mistake in the process of melting it, That’s a waste of money.”

"Yes, we don't have a metal that can replace tungsten carbide."

"Actually, there are. General Li Yuanba's exclusive mech uses a better alloy than tungsten steel alloy. But... [-] million is not enough."

"General Li Yuanba's exclusive mecha costs more than three billion yuan. One hundred million yuan is not enough, it's simply not enough."

"Let's discuss business, don't talk nonsense."

They are all top mechanic, the opinion of Shen Mu, a great genius, cannot convince everyone, everyone discusses with reason.

But Ji Xinghe, who listened to their analysis of pros and cons, actually had no right to speak.

It is not difficult for him to repair mechas, or even build mechas, but if it is to manufacture a top-level exclusive mecha in the entire federation, his level of knowledge is not enough.

Repair and modification work is re-creation, while research and development is creation in the true sense, and the difficulty gap between the two is not small.

But the final decision rests with him.

"There are two plans now." Shen Mu looked at Ji Xinghe and said: "The first plan is to transform the Guyong. Because of the performance improvement, at least 150% of the operations are required to be able to exert 100% of its strength."

"The second plan is to melt the Lonely Brave. There are risks. In the end, the mech's defense may drop by 12% compared to the Lonely Brave, but it doesn't require your operating values ​​to explode. It can give full play to its performance.”

The two sentences are just a brief summary. Professionals have already formulated a detailed plan, and there is also a demonstration video simulated by Nu Wa.

After reading it carefully, Ji Xinghe made a decision.

"Melt the Lonely Brave."

"it is good."

The professionals didn't ask the reason. After Ji Xinghe made a decision, the relevant personnel immediately started to implement the second plan.

Because Ji Xinghe is not only an ace mech fighter, but also a professional mechanic. He has been in charge of the operation area and won the No.1 list of meritorious service in the mechanic repair area of ​​the fifth base.

At that time, Shen Mu and others did accept it, but why did Ji Xinghe go all out to compete for the merit list?

When a top team started building a new mecha for Ji Xinghe, the commander of the fifth base, Wang Wei, slipped over quietly.

"Old Ji, come here."

"kindness."

In the corner, Wang Wei sighed: "Why do you say you are doing this? If you didn't want the Lonely Warrior at the time, the Academy of Sciences would definitely build you an exclusive mecha. Not to mention the best, but it is definitely better than your own. It's much better."

This is a fact.

But Ji Xinghe asked back: "Does the mecha built by the Academy of Sciences belong to me or to the Federation?"

"Ah? This..." Wang Wei knew what Ji Xinghe wanted to say.

The mecha of the ace mecha warrior, like all mecha warriors, belonged to the federation. The mecha that Ji Xinghe drove and participated in many battles before also belonged to the federation.

There are two that do not belong to the Federation, the Lonely Brave and the Xingyue.

These two mechs belong only to Ji Xinghe himself.

Ji Xinghe continued to ask: "The Academy of Sciences helped me build mechas. How long will it take for me to get them?"

At least three months, which is determined by the voyage from the blue star to the alien star.

The Nantianmen space station has corresponding building resources, but the performance of the mechas they build is not as good as the mechas built by the Academy of Sciences on the blue star.

"Is there really a difference?" Wang Wei persuaded: "You still have a chance now, don't touch the Guyong, I will help you submit the application, and the Academy of Sciences will help you build the mecha again. In this process, you You can also drive the Lonely Brave to fight, so you don’t need to worry about time at all.”

"There is a difference." Ji Xinghe did not talk about this topic, but said: "Even if there is a battle recently, don't worry, I can still drive Xingyue to fight, and it is fine to drive other standard mechas. As long as it is not I have no problem with a marquis-level imperial mech."

Wang Wei did not doubt Ji Xinghe's strength.

A few months ago, Ji Xinghe had driven the remodeled No. 16 generation mecha of the Federation and knocked down an earl-level imperial mecha to the ground.

But now even if he lost the Lonely Warrior, Xingyue's knife and Lonely Yong's gun are still there. The blessing of weapons can greatly increase the combat effectiveness.

"Okay, if you insist, then so be it." Wang Wei asked curiously: "Have you decided on the name of the new mecha?"

"They took one and I haven't agreed yet."

"No?" Wang Wei became even more curious: "You don't care about things like names, don't you have the Zhanshan number before and the Guyong number now?"

"But this time it's different."

"Why is it different?"

Ji Xinghe hesitated a little, but said it anyway.

"Their name is... General Jia."

"..." Wang Wei was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed: "I think it's pretty good."

Chapter 236

The name General Jia was chosen by Shen Mu, and has been unanimously recognized by those involved in the design and production.

The rank of the tenth ace mecha fighter in active service in the Federation is only a major, which is unacceptable to many people except Ji Xinghe.

Maybe it was to take care of this emotion, maybe it was because Ji Xinghe's meritorious service was finally counted, maybe it was because Wang Wei agreed and submitted the relevant application after hearing the name.

Before the formal construction of General A, Ji Xinghe's rank promotion order finally came down.

"Colonel Ji Xinghe, congratulations."

"Thank you."

The process was actually a bit cumbersome. Base No. [-] held a small ceremony for this, not to mention that along with the promotion order, there were also some documents for the promotion of authority, as well as the official establishment of the Xinghe team.

Ji Xinghe, who was promoted to colonel, currently has three management authorities.

One is the No. 66 machine repair area of ​​the No. [-] base, the other is the training area of ​​the No. [-] base (as an instructor), and the last and most important one is the management authority of the Xinghe team.

His identity is still the captain, the blind man and the cripple are the deputy captains, Chen Xun's position is the staff officer, and the others are mecha fighters, and only mecha fighters.

These functions have not changed much from before. The real change is the increase in the number of formal establishments.

Now there are 31 mech fighters in the Xinghe squad, and they can apply for [-] more mecha fighters to join. The total number of mecha fighters is [-].Strictly speaking, there are actually thirty, and the captain, Ji Xinghe, is not counted among them.

But there is still no staffing related to logistics support, such as the number of staff such as correspondents, mechanics, etc., or communication support vehicles, tanks, armored vehicles, etc., these Galaxy teams do not have.

"This is to ensure the high mobility of the Galaxy team."

Wang Wei explained to Ji Xinghe: "If those logistics systems are equipped, the mobility of the Xinghe team will decrease. The above means, turn your Xinghe team into a quick-response mecha team, and wait until all of you are special-level. At that time, it is very likely that it will become the Xinghe Airborne Mecha Squad."

This is a very reasonable explanation, and it is also a big picture.

The people who participated in the award ceremony, such as Shen Mu and Su He, all sneered, while others felt that what Wang Wei said was justified.

Ji Xinghe nodded noncommittally, without making any comments, and the ceremony was quickly completed.

The only small episode was that Wang Wei, who was supposed to personally wear new badges, epaulettes, and military medals on Ji Xinghe, gave up this opportunity to Ji Rong Xinyue.

"Can I?"

"Of course." Wang Wei began to lie to the child: "Xinxin will be a general in the future, and his military rank may be higher than your grandfather's. Of course, you can wear a badge for your grandfather."

This sentence made Ji Xinghe frown slightly, but seeing that Ji Rong Xinyue smiled happily when he heard this, he didn't say anything.

Until now, he still hopes that when Ji Rong Xinyue grows up, he can be a lawyer, a doctor, or a painter.

Ji Rong Xinyue did not directly agree, but looked at Ji Xinghe expectantly.

Ji Xinghe squatted directly in front of Ji Rong Xinyue, showing a kind smile.

Ji Rong Xinyue carefully took over the badge, epaulette, and military medal, and began to replace it for Ji Xinghe with a serious expression. After the replacement, she carefully looked at it, corrected the position and angle, and finally smiled with satisfaction.

Then he remembered something, faced Ji Xinghe and stood at attention to salute.

This action made everyone around stand at attention and salute.

Ji Xinghe got up and returned the gift seriously.

The ceremony is over, everyone's life is back to busy again, and Ji Xinghe's life has temporarily returned to the state before he left the No. [-] base. Time to build his new mecha.

The rest of the schedule has not changed. When I go to the training area, I go to the training area. When I want to teach Ji Rong Xinyue and other children to practice, I teach them to practice. I will tell stories to Ji Rong Xinyue and other children before going to bed at night.

"We have verified that there is no problem with the design of the general armor, and it can be manufactured directly."

This is news from the Federal Academy of Sciences. After the dust storm is over, communication has been restored. Base No. [-] can get in touch with Azure Star through the Nantianmen space station. Can get corresponding technical support.

And this kind of technical support is very necessary. On an alien planet where materials are scarce, if a new mecha that consumes a lot of resources is defective in design, it will be a waste to build it, and it may endanger the life of Ji Xinghe .

Azure Star does not have this problem. They can use 3D printing technology to manufacture corresponding parts for real machine testing in a short period of time. Parts that cannot be formed with 3D printing technology can also be produced with the industrial capabilities of Azure Star. Complete customization in a short time.

The tests of the armor model were completed, and the Federal Academy of Sciences also improved some designs.

The corresponding resources were also transported to the fifth base.

These are all because Ji Xinghe's identity is different.

"Now I suddenly believe what the commander said. The Xinghe team has not been targeted. The higher-ups really want to turn the Xinghe team into a quick-response mech team."

"I also believe that Lao Ji's contribution points have not been withheld. One hundred million plus one [-]th-generation core engine is almost the same if you count the Lonely Brave."

Members of the general armor building team, some of the grievances that had arisen before dissipated. Shen Mu and Su He didn't say anything, while Ji Xinghe seemed to not care at all, and led the team to start the real manufacturing work of the general armor.

The first step is to melt down the Lonely Brave.

However, Ji Xinghe did not participate in this step, because it is not his major, he only understands a little bit in this area, and melting the Lonely Brave and then forging the main body of the general armor sounds very simple, but because of the characteristics of tungsten steel alloy , the required steps are actually very cumbersome.

Even if he went, he could only be a spectator by the side, and simply use the time to build other parts needed for the general armor.

Such as energy transmission plates, bearings, joints and so on.

It is shameful to waste time on alien planets. Even if it is to build mechas for himself, Ji Xinghe is not willing to waste time looking at some meaningless things. He believes in professionals such as Shen Mu.

Just the first step took four days. In the era when human beings were able to manufacture mechs and spaceships, it already showed the difficulty of this step.

"The defensive performance has decreased by 2.7%, and the performance in other aspects has not changed much. It is still a little bit interesting."

"It's already very good, thank you everyone."

Judging from the defensive power of tungsten steel alloy, this level of reduction is nothing. Ji Xinghe looked at the main body of the general who was transported to the machine repair area, and was satisfied.
