Mecha and Knife

"It doesn't make sense, because you also can't exert the ability of individual starships, and you will be intercepted and shot down halfway."

"Can you give me a gun? I have money, I'll buy it from you, and you let me go to the front."

Tu Yuan was silent again, and he didn't know if it was because of Ji Xinghe's words or because Ji Xinghe's voice was getting hoarse.

Ji Xinghe didn't want to be silent, this might be his last chance.

"I don't eat much, I can pay for it by myself, and I don't need to live in a military camp, I can live in a tent."

"My pension and pension can be bought out, I will give you all, and you let me go to the front line."

"I don't want mechas or guns anymore. Give me any scraps you don't want. I can build mechas that can adapt to alien environments. No, it's not mechas, but spacesuits and space suits."

"I will not waste the oxygen in the military camp, nor the oxygen in the alien base. I can live outside all the time."

"It's really not possible. The next time you use the leap gate to attack the Empire Star, throw me there too, just give me two knives."

"The eight-cut knife is the best. I know the eight-cut knife. Although I don't have one, I really do."

"General, I'm good at fighting, really good at fighting."

Ji Xinghe looked at Tu Yuan who had been silent all the time, hesitated and said, "I can hit ten of you like this."

Tu Yuan finally couldn't hold it anymore, and raged, "I'm a civilian major general, what's the use of me if you can hit a hundred? Ah? You're 65 years old, I'll let you go if you're 20 years younger, But you are 65 years old, can't you afford to retire honestly?"

Ji Xinghe was silent, and it took a long time before he spoke again.

"No, because my son is dead."

Chapter 005 has a conscription assessment

It has nothing to do with age, or the war between the Federation and the Empire. Ji Xinghe, who has been honest and ordinary all his life, now only wants revenge.

But he can’t go to the front line of the alien star alone, because the alien star is not suitable for human survival. If there is no breathing device in the extremely thin atmosphere, he will die. The drastic changes in the temperature difference between day and night must be protected by spacesuits. Irregular storms often occur, making many technologies useless...

Apart from barracks and bases, there is no suitable living space for human beings on the front line of the alien planet. Even the imperial orangutans, known for their strong physical fitness, can hardly survive on the surface of the alien planet without equipment for a long time.

When humans wear space suits, they are not suitable for fighting. Inconvenience is one aspect. Oxygen leaks and dies if it is slightly damaged. However, the imperial orangutans only need to carry breathing aids. The encounter ended with the total collapse of the Federation, but the ending often meant a new life.

The Federal Academy of Sciences has developed a new generation of war weapons - mechas. The mechas that are not suitable for combat on the blue star shine brightly on the alien star that has relatively weak gravity and is not suitable for using various high-tech weapons. .

So the Federation rebuilt bases, military camps, and mines on the alien planet, and while exploiting alien resources, it also defended against enemies outside the planet.

The orangutans and monkeys of the empire directly reach the alien planet through the leap gate. After research, it can be confirmed that they cannot directly use the leap gate to reach the blue star, at least temporarily.But if the Alien Star cannot be defended, the orangutans and monkeys of the empire can directly invade the Azure Planet through the Alien Star.

Although the Federation's high-tech weapons can play their due role in the Azure Star and near-Earth space, no one wants to go to war with the Empire on the Azure Star, because the Empire is not a barbaric era, and they have some technology themselves. He also mastered more technology in the war with the Federation.

Such as mechs, such as starships.

If the war took place over the blue star, the federation would not be able to defend it. The orangutans and monkeys of the empire would surely be able to break through the blockade of the near-earth space and drive straight in, wantonly destroying everything that belongs to human beings on the surface, including human beings. s life.

Under this premise, the people who can go to the front line of alien planets are carefully selected, even those miners, chefs, repairmen, scientists, artists, etc. who live in the base, they can play their best role in the non-war period. With their unique talents, they can all be soldiers when needed.

Someone can live from 30 to 65 on Exoplanet, such as those who stayed after the original landing on Exoplanet, and didn't die in the first attack of the Empire, but no one will let a 65-year-old man waste resources to go to Alien Star, to complete a goal that seems impossible to them, but actually has no meaning.

"Jichenxing's hatred, we will avenge it for you, because it is not only your hatred, but also our hatred, the federation's hatred, the hatred of all mankind, and not just Jichenxing's hatred."

Tu Yuan left two words before leaving.

"I will tell the relevant parties that you should be able to leave here, but you only have this chance. If you commit another crime, no matter what the reason is, you will accept the punishment you deserve."

Then Tu Yuan left, and on the third day after that, Ji Xinghe, who had been silent for three days and lost weight again, saw the sun again.

"Old Ji, eat well, rest well, and take care of yourself when you go back."

The police officer who interrogated Ji Xinghe back then stood next to Ji Xinghe and said this, but did not get any response. Ji Xinghe in his sight was completely without the ferocity of when he fell over his shoulder, like an old man who was dying , so he sighed helplessly.

"Don't you want revenge? As you are now, let alone ten me, you can't beat half of me, let alone those imperial gorillas, you can't even beat the imperial monkeys, what are you talking about?" revenge?"

The voice of the police officer gradually became harsh, and then gradually softened.

"Old Ji, although I don't want to say this, and I don't want such a situation to happen, the situation on the front line is indeed not very good. Otherwise, General Tu Yuan would not have to go to various places to recruit troops himself, in case... I mean in case One, if the empire really comes to fight, when the war happens on this planet under our feet, you still have a chance to take revenge, provided you are still able to fight at that time."

The dying old man grew taller again under the sun, his crooked body was like withered weeds that met rain after a long drought.

Ji Xinghe looked at the policeman with scorching eyes, making the policeman a little at a loss.

"Old Ji, if you have anything to say, just say it, and I will help if I can."

"Then..." Ji Xinghe finally spoke, his voice still hoarse. He really didn't eat or drink well these days, and he didn't have a good rest. In fact, when he fell Thirteenth Younger over his shoulder, he was weak for the eighth day .

"Can I forge two knives myself?"

The police officer frowned: "Are you talking about the Eight Zhan Dao? Old Ji, everyone is using mechas and starships now. What's the use of asking you to build the Eight Zhan Dao? Let me tell you , Those are controlled knives."

"I won't start, I won't start for the time being."

"What do you want it to do without Kaifeng?"

"I haven't practiced for many years. I'm looking for the touch. If the situation you mentioned happens, I will start again."

Can you cut mechs if you start the front?

The police officer was a little speechless. He knew what the eight-cutting knife looked like. The short knife was only thirty or forty centimeters long, and the mecha was at least three meters high. The average height of the imperial mechas was four meters five...

"Okay, as long as you don't attack, you can make a pair yourself." After all, the policeman was not serious with a 65-year-old man, but he still emphasized: "But you must not attack, and you can only do it yourself." Practice alone, don't find someone to practice against."

Although everyone thinks that it is useless for Ji Xinghe to go to the front line of Alien Star, it is already recognized that Ji Xinghe can fight. General Tu Yuan himself said: "Ji Xinghe can fight a hundred of me."

Although General Tu Yuan is a civilian general, he is still a general. It is not bad to be able to fight a hundred generals.

"Okay, don't worry, I have never practiced against anyone, except..."

Ji Xinghe talked more, but when he mentioned the only person he had practiced against, he fell silent again.

The police officer didn't know that Ji Chenxing won the No.2 in the military academy fighting competition, so he asked curiously, "Except for who?"

Ji Xinghe took a deep breath: "My son."

The police officer was taken aback for a moment, and quickly changed the subject.

"Then you are really good. You can do this by yourself. What if you... oh, huh? General Tu Yuan came to our Xinfeng City to recruit soldiers this time, or you train a few apprentices to join the army ? Said that this kind of public recruitment activity will be held every year in the future, regardless of background or academic qualifications, you have a chance."

"Open recruiting?" Ji Xinghe's eyes lit up: "Is there an age limit?"

"It is more than the requirements, but the upper limit is not mentioned, because it is not only for conscription but also for other occupations." The policeman instantly understood what Ji Xinghe meant, and sighed again: "Don't even think about it, if you have a physical fitness test, you This age is definitely not possible, and it is impossible for anyone over the age of 45."

Physical fitness test?

Ji Xinghe was suddenly hungry, thirsty, and sleepy. He wanted to eat and drink well, and he wanted to sleep well.

He is going to take the test.

Chapter 006 He Says He Doesn't Believe in Limits

"Hey, Lao Ji is back. I haven't seen any old lady in so many days."

"Nonsense, the old man never pays attention to those old ladies. Do you think that an old man is going to dance in the square every day like you? Old Ji, come to play a game of chess. I haven't played for many days. I let you A car."

"Hey, you let Lao Ji have a car? Isn't it always Lao Ji who let you ride horses?"

In the green area of ​​the community, a group of old men and old ladies who were basking in the sun saw Ji Xinghe who had disappeared for a few days, and they all said hello, which showed that Ji Xinghe was very popular.

This kind of popularity is based on the premise that Ji Xinghe is willing to help others, his wife's life style before and after his death is also very good, and he has a pension and pension.

"No, there is something else, you are busy."

Ji Xinghe hurriedly responded and went straight to his home. He didn't want to tell anyone about his experiences these days, because that would mean he would have to say that sentence again.

It was not easy to tell Tu Yuan, nor was it to win sympathy, he didn't want people to sympathize with him, he just wanted revenge.

The old men and women all felt a little strange.

"This old man has retired, what else is he busy with?"

"That's right, what are we busy with? We can't be busy with anything. Or, let's go and get the eggs, and we'll be there at nineteen stops after three bus transfers."

"Are you short of those eggs?"

"I'm not bad, but it's not a panic."

"That's right, go for a walk. If you go late, you will catch up with the time to get off work. There are no seats on the bus."

"What are you afraid of, someone give up your seat for us."

"That's right."

……

The house is very deserted. It hasn't been cleaned for ten days, but there is only a little dust. All the furniture, home appliances and other items in the living room are neatly placed. There are no sundries and only necessities. It looks a bit monotonous.

There was no food waste that I forgot to throw away in the kitchen, and there were no smelly ingredients in the refrigerator. When I got home, Ji Xinghe did not grieve alone, but went directly to the kitchen and took out two steaks that he marinated himself from the refrigerator. .

It can be seen that there are more than 30 pieces in the refrigerator, which are neatly packaged. These steaks were originally prepared...

Now Ji Xinghe can only eat it by himself.

Turn on the fire skillfully, heat the air in the pan and then put in the butter, open the plastic bag of the steak and hold the steak with freshly washed hands, put it vertically into the hot pan, seal the edges first, and then fry the whole side. It was almost cooked to maturity.

This way of eating is not suitable for steak, but Ji Xinghe likes to eat well-cooked beef. If Ji Chenxing didn't like steak, he would choose beef stewed with carrots, beef stewed with potatoes, or directly braised in soy sauce.

Ji Xinghe didn't like that kind of tableware because he didn't use a knife and fork. All the knives and forks at home were bought for Ji Chenxing back then.Putting the two steaks on the plate, Ji Xinghe took a pair of chopsticks and picked them up and ate them. He bit and chewed hard, as if the two steaks were his enemies. Same.

Ji Xinghe, who hasn't had a good meal for a few days, is not suitable for eating steak, but his body is really good, his digestion ability is also very good, his teeth have not degenerated due to age, and his mouth is full of real teeth.

With black hair, he doesn't look like a 65-year-old man, but he is indeed 65 years old, so after eating the steak, he took two Jianweixiaoshi tablets to prevent physical problems due to indigestion.

He wanted to protect his body well, and then went to participate in the conscription assessment that would start seven days later.

Very sleepy, but Ji Xinghe didn't go to sleep immediately, but came to the study room. In the study room, there were three walls full of books neatly placed on the bookshelves. Most of them were professional books on machine repair, and the rest were Ji Chenxing The books used in school, and some books related to mecha driving, were selected by Ji Xinghe when Ji Chenxing said that his dream was to be a mecha warrior, and bought them home.

It will be updated every year, so the books on the bookshelf are stacked very full, but there is no need to worry about the bookshelf collapsing, because the bookshelf was built by Ji Xinghe himself. As an expert in mechanical maintenance, his hands-on ability has always been very strong, but before. limited to car repairs.

In addition to the books on the three walls, there is a desk in front of the wall with windows, which is where Ji Chenxing studied since he was a child.

There are only two things in the center of the study room. One is an ergonomic chair connected to a power supply at the bottom, a helmet-like object is connected to it, and a pair of gloves with metallic luster.

This is the landing device for Interstellar Glory, which requires the cooperation of a helmet and gloves to complete conscious-level interactive operations.

A consciousness interaction device similar to this helmet is also built into the mecha, so that the user can better manipulate the mecha. Compared with the original voice command combined with manual operation mode, this new operation mode gives the mecha Armor is a real life, capable of making all kinds of difficult movements.

But it is precisely because of this that the mechas of the new era have extremely high requirements on the physical fitness of the users, and the difficult mecha movements will cause overload, just like the pilots who flew fighter jets many years ago. Exercising overloaded maneuvers can cause dizziness and nausea at the slightest level, and coma or even sudden death at the severest level.

The 65-year-old Ji Xinghe, no one would believe that he can carry it. In fact, he himself does not believe it, but he is not afraid of death.

The last thing in the study is the wooden dummy. He built the wooden dummy by himself, and he and Ji Chenxing have also done it.

But his wooden dummy is not made of wood, but iron. 30 years ago, Ji Xinghe could no longer hit wooden dummy piles, and they would break as soon as he exerted force.

When he saw the wooden dummy, Ji Xinghe saw Ji Chenxing crying because of the pain when he first hit the wooden dummy, and the voice of grievance seemed to echo in his ears.

"Dad, I'm going to call the police, you abused children."

"This is not abuse. Don't you want to be a mech warrior? This is to help you improve your combat effectiveness, so that you can survive on the battlefield and allow you to kill more enemies."

"I'm already a mecha warrior, why do I still need to learn kung fu? My mecha must have a cannon and a high-frequency vibrating knife. Chopping melons and vegetables."

"Son, do you know why the mecha is made into a human form? Why were all the previous animal-shaped mecha designs abandoned?"

"why?"

"Because humans are the primates of all things, the human form is the most suitable form for fighting."

"But people can't beat tigers."

"That's because there is a big gap in strength, speed, and defense between humans and tigers, but if a mecha in human form fights with a mecha in tiger form, the strength, speed, and defense of both sides are in balance. , the winner must be the humanoid mech."

"why?"

"Because...human figures can use swords, guns, swords and halberds as weapons, and can use guns as weapons, but tigers only have teeth and claws, or a tail."

"Then I will turn the tiger's claws into knives, the tiger's tail into a spear, and the tiger's mouth into a cannon."

"Hahaha...then your slot machine armor won't be able to run."

"It can fly, I will add a flight engine to it."

"It's not impossible, but before you can do it, you need to learn boxing from me, as well as the Bazhan Dao method and the 06:30 stick method."

"I don't learn boxing, and I don't use mecha fists to hit people. I learn knife skills and let my mecha use knives to chop. I don't learn stick skills either. A stick can't kill an imperial orangutan. I don't have a gun head. Learn to shoot."

"Who says you can't kill people with a stick without a gun? You have to learn punches too, because when your mecha has no weapons, you only have fists, and when you don't have a mecha, you only have fists."

"I don't learn, I call the police, and you abuse me."
