Mecha and Knife

Ji Rong Xinyue, led by Ji Xinghe, watched the tractor stop, and Xingyue, who had turned on the automatic driving mode, slowly got off the tractor, standing solemnly on the edge of an operating area, her eyes wide open Zhongman was puzzled.

"It won't be boring, because Xinxin is with Xingyue, and Xingyue can also be with Xinxin."

Ji Xinghe rubbed Ji Rong Xinyue's head, indicating that he could chat with Xingyue as before, and Ji Rong Xinyue trotted all the way and appeared behind Xingyue after getting permission.

"Xingyue Xingyue, squat down quickly."

"Yes, my princess."

Xingyue responded with a voice, and slowly squatted on the ground. Even if the four-meter-high mecha squatted down, it was much taller than Jirong Xinyue.The cockpit slowly opened behind it is also a height that Ji Rong Xinyue can't climb up now, but Xingyue's built-in intelligent program has a perfect coping mode. It stretched out its two metal arms toward the back, With the help of the eyes behind his head, he saw the position of Ji Rong Xinyue clearly, and then precisely placed the palms of both hands under Ji Rong Xinyue's feet.

Ji Rong Xinyue, who was already very experienced, stepped on Xingyue's hands, and at the same time squatted down and grabbed the edge of the armor on Xingyue's small arm.This action is actually a bit redundant. Xingyue in normal mode moves very slowly, and it is impossible to hurt Ji Rong Xinyue, but this is Ji Xinghe's request and insistence. He wants Ji Rong Xinyue to protect him at all times Herself.

When Xingyue raised her hands to the position of the cockpit, Ji Rong Xinyue suppressed the urge to jump in, looked at Ji Xinghe and waved her hands and got a response before walking in. her exclusive position.

When the cockpit door was slowly closed, Xingyue had already got up, and a gentle light lit up inside the cockpit. A helmet customized for Ji Rong Xinyue slowly descended, and Ji Rong Xinyue skillfully grabbed it and finished it. worn.

Her vision brightened. It was a visual window formed by holographic projection technology. There were images that Xingyue could see, and there were also images similar to communication bracelets.

"Grandpa, I'm going to start studying with Xingyue, don't worry about me."

"Okay, Xinxin, come on."

"Grandpa also needs to work hard, but not too hard."

"Grandpa knows, thank you Xinxin."

"You're welcome, Xinxin also wants to thank grandpa."

"You're welcome."

The conversation ended, but Ji Xinghe didn't take off his earphones, but just temporarily turned off his microphone.After the dust storm ended, a large number of wounded were transported from the front line to Base No. [-]. The temporary school mainly composed of medical staff was closed again, but Xinxin did not stop going to school. Learning modules, connected to the database of the base to obtain many age-appropriate online courses.

With the help of Shen Mu and Su He, the dialogue between Xingyue and Ji Rong Xinyue and helping Ji Rong Xinyue study, etc., all formed a virtuous circle.

"Master Ji, can the mecha you built achieve real automatic driving?"

After Ji Xinghe turned off the microphone, the maintenance personnel in the regular maintenance area surrounded him, they were full of curiosity about Ji Xinghe and Xingyue.

"No." Ji Xinghe patiently explained: "It still uses the existing artificial intelligence assistance program, which can only perform relatively simple maneuvering operations and cannot be applied to actual combat. It is like the autopilot program of a car Similarly, they can drive on normal roads, but they cannot climb mountains or compete in racing.”

This, for example, made the maintenance personnel understand, and disappointment appeared in the eyes of many people.Although they had no expectations for Xingyue.The fact that Ji Xinghe built a mecha is already well known in the No. [-] base. It is also well known that the raw materials used to build Xingyue are discarded parts.

Because Ji Xinghe has created miracles many times, they still have expectations, but the facts seem to show that miracles don't happen randomly.

"That's a pity. I don't know when we can develop a better artificial intelligence program, let the artificial intelligence drive the mech to fight, and reduce sacrifices."

"No, no, no, it's better not to study artificial intelligence anymore. I'm really afraid that we just won the empire, and we have to fight artificial intelligence again. That's too scary."

"What bullshit are you talking about?"

"Isn't that how it's done in movies?"

"Watching movies all day, don't you know how to study hard? A mechanic who doesn't want to repair mechas is not a qualified mechanic."

"So what if you know how to repair mechs, Lao Ji isn't..."

"Shut up, all of you, what should you do?" The lieutenant officer in charge of the routine repair area scolded, drove away the assembled maintenance personnel, and then said apologetically to Ji Xinghe: "I'm sorry Ah, Master Ji, we are not professional soldiers, we are all specially recruited because of our professional skills and excellent physical fitness, and we are not so careless at ordinary times, but during the dust storm, the tense strings suddenly loosened, so..."

"It's okay, just call me Lao Ji." Ji Xinghe pondered for a while: "I'm not a professional soldier either, my job is an auto mechanic."

"Okay, then I'll call you Lao Ji, and you can call me Xiao Wang from now on." Lieutenant Wang laughed: "My military rank is the same as being picked up for nothing, unlike yours, which are all real swords and guns. from."

"It's all the same, they're all making contributions, and they're all important."

"It's good if you can think like this. I'm afraid you have an opinion. In fact... Lao Ji, let me tell you the truth, I have received the order. I don't tell you the details. You should understand it. But... so Come on, as long as you stay with us, I don't care what you want to do."

"Thank you, don't worry, I won't cause trouble for you."

Hearing this, Lieutenant Wang breathed a sigh of relief: "Old Ji, do you want to take a rest? I heard that you have been injured before, and your health is important. It will not be too late to work after your health is better. Our work here is more intensive than machine repair. The area is much smaller."

"Thank you. I have fully recovered and can start working immediately. Excuse me, is there any work arrangement?"

"I really don't have this, Lao Ji. I'm telling the truth. You can do whatever you want. I'll share my mission log with you. It's the mission log of our entire repair area. As long as it hasn't been assigned , You can accept any task you receive."

Ji Xinghe did not refuse Lieutenant Wang's kindness, and he and Lieutenant Wang started to operate on the bracelet, and soon he saw all the maintenance tasks in the repair area.

"Individual starship?" Ji Xinghe was a little surprised: "Is this thing also repaired here?"

"Depending on the damaged part and extent, it will be sent to us occasionally, Lao Ji, will you repair this?"

"A little bit, I can still learn."

"Then I'll arrange someone to teach you right now, and there are only a very small number of people here who can repair individual starships. You know a little bit, and you must learn quickly, after all, everyone knows your level."

"Don't worry about this." Ji Xinghe kept flipping on the screen of the bracelet, and finally stopped: "Lieutenant Wang, please, can I repair this LX-21 armored vehicle?"

"Of course..." Lieutenant Wang subconsciously wanted to agree but was suddenly stunned. He looked at Ji Xinghe with a calm expression, then turned his head to look at Xingyue standing solemnly, and finally looked at Ji Xinghe again. It was very difficult, but in the end he gritted his teeth: "Yes, yes, but...Old Ji, when you pluck wool, don't catch a pluck, it's easy to be found. Also, just call me Xiaowang Yes, I panicked when you called me Lieutenant Wang."

Ji Xinghe was a little taken aback, and then remembered that the materials used in some parts of the LX-21 armored vehicle were common to most mechs.But he chose to repair this armored vehicle entirely because the contribution points were relatively higher.

"Xiao Wang, it's really not what you think. If I need it, I will choose to use my ability to earn it, and I will never steal it."

Lieutenant Wang didn't believe this sentence, with a helpless expression on his face: "Old Ji, when you were taking the test for the mecha driving qualification certificate, Instructor Li was afraid that you would run away while driving the mecha. When it was time, how about a single-soldier starship."

This spread?Ji Xinghe explained helplessly: "Actually, I wasn't stealing at the time, it should be considered robbery, because I knew very well that when I launched the individual starship, it was impossible not to be discovered, but I didn't expect to be locked up remotely. After half a while, I couldn’t forcefully unlock it. So, I didn’t succeed in grabbing it.”

"Uh..." Lieutenant Wang really wanted to ask if there was a difference, but in the end he didn't ask: "Okay, Lao Ji, you can do whatever you say, and I mean what you say. You can do whatever you want, and you can do whatever you want. catch."

"Thank you."

Chapter 100 Work and Training

An LX-21 armored vehicle was dragged to the operation area that Ji Xinghe was in charge of. Unlike other operation areas where there were many people, he was the only one in his operation area.Some people think that he is dissatisfied with the work arrangement, but in fact he just wants to save money.

"The special instructors in the training area have [-] contribution points per month, the basic salary of auto repair is [-] contribution points per month, the basic tasks in the independent operation area are completed every month, and they can get [-] contribution points, and the additional task contribution points Plus..."

Ji Xinghe started his repair work, and at the same time, he was also calculating in his mind.His salary in the training area has increased. After all, he is not only a peerless master, but also a first-class mecha fighter with twelve gold stars.The amount of salary for other job responsibilities, which also exceeded the normal level, was regarded as one of the compensations for transferring him to the regular repair area.

From a certain point of view, Ji Xinghe really makes a lot of money. He doesn't have to take any risks. He only needs to repair cars and other conventional mechanical creations every day, shoot some daily work materials and life materials, and guide relevant personnel in the training area. Get a lot of contribution points, and you can also accumulate super popularity through documentaries.

But is this really the life he wants?

"If it's just me, I don't have to share a lot of money with other people. I can have a basic salary of at least [-] yuan a month. According to my work efficiency, more than [-] yuan should not be a problem."

The work efficiency of more people will naturally be higher, but there are gains and losses. After weighing the pros and cons, Ji Xinghe chose one person to be in charge of an independent operating range, because he was really short of money.

"Not counting spare parts, I still need about 3520 million contribution points to complete the final upgrade of Xingyue. One hundred thousand per month, I need 352 months, that is..."

It is easy to get discouraged by the calculation of this account, but Ji Xinghe's heart is not cold at all. He has always been a person who refuses to admit defeat, and is also a person with absolute confidence.Many people can say the words 'human beings have no limits', but how many people can live up to it?

He just lacks some opportunities now. He doesn't want these opportunities to appear, but he knows that these opportunities will definitely appear.

Su He, who didn't know what he was busy with before, rushed over and started his daily filming and interviews.

"Old Ji, is it difficult for you to repair this kind of armored vehicle?"

"No." Ji Xinghe's tone was calm but full of confidence: "Armored vehicles are also a type of car. Essentially, they are no different from the cars I repaired before. The armor is thicker, the body is heavier, and the power system is stronger. Ability requirements are higher, these are not essential changes."

Su He nodded in agreement. He believed everything Ji Xinghe said, and the upper limit of his knowledge of Ji Xinghe's abilities was also very high.The reason why this kind of question is still asked is because this is an interview, and some seemingly ordinary questions must be asked.

During the interview and filming, Ji Xinghe had already used tools to remove the damaged armor of this armored vehicle. The all-metal armor, which weighed hundreds of kilograms, was as light as nothing in his hands. mouthed.

Even if it's because of the low gravity on the alien planet, it wouldn't be so exaggerated, right?

"Old Ji, how strong is your strength?" Su He asked, "I mean, what is the maximum weight you can lift?"

"Lift it up? Well, if it's a snatch, it's more than 100 kilograms."

"How much is 100?"

"One hundred and four. I haven't tested it specifically. After coming to Alien Star, I feel that the burden on my body is much lighter."

140 kg, that's two of me?Su He, who weighs only 70 kilograms, looked at Ji Xinghe's tall figure, and couldn't believe that he was a 65-year-old man.Although the development of science and technology in the Federation has increased the average life expectancy, from 2019 years in 77.3, the average level has been increased by one year every four years, reaching the current age of 93. Centenarians who have lived for two centuries are no longer It is rare, but the aging of the human body, the weakening of physical fitness, etc. are natural laws that are difficult to violate.

At the age of 70, it is good enough not to pant when climbing a mountain. What is the concept of lifting a 140 kg weight?

"Old Ji, why don't we find a time to give you a detailed physical test, I think the audience is also very curious about this." Su He made a suggestion and explained: "You should know, with the development of technology Life is getting more and more convenient, driving is fully automatic, and our average physical fitness is getting weaker and weaker. I read a report before, saying that sooner or later we will degenerate into creatures without legs. If we can see you The physical test report should be able to spark a national fitness craze. Actually, it has already been sparked, but we can add more fire to lift a 140-kilogram weight on a different planet. You are really amazing at your age."

Ji Xinghe nodded, and then corrected: "What I said just now is not on the alien star, but on the blue star."

"Huh?" Su He's expression and tone were shocked: "Then it is 420 kilograms in Yixing?"

"Don't be so exaggerated, those weightlifting champions can break through 200 kilograms in the snatch, I mean my weight class."

"Uh... It's really not my fault. Old Ji, you are targeting the world champion, and you are much older than them at your age. They probably can't compare with you when they reach your age."

"It's really not that exaggerated."

The damaged armor that was dismantled was all placed on small smart tractors, and they would be transported to the corresponding area for refurbishment and reworked into brand new armor that could be installed on armored vehicles.The material of these armors is the same as the protective armor of many mechas. If Ji Xinghe has an idea, he can completely intercept it during the repair process, and then find an opportunity to reforge it into protective armor for mechas, and then replace it with Xingyue. superior.

However, the protective armor is actually worthless in comparison, so Ji Xinghe has no idea at all, and his hands and feet are clean without even leaving some scraps.After that, he repaired the internal components of the armored vehicle, and it went very smoothly. If the difficulty of repair is graded according to the game, entry, easy, medium, advanced, hell, his current job is only easy difficulty, while repairing mechs is at least high difficulty. , The repair of some key components can be called hell difficulty.

Because of the reduced difficulty, Ji Xinghe, who has repaired many mecha parts, has improved his repair level, so his repair speed is very fast.Before the reworked armor was sent back, the repair work on the main body of the armored vehicle had been completed.

Instead of waiting, he accepted a new maintenance task again, and another damaged LX-21 armored vehicle was delivered.

Within the normal eight-hour working time, he didn't stop for a moment. After a day, except for the meal time and the time to go to the training area to guide the battle after the meal, he turned on the overtime mode again.

At twelve o'clock in the evening, Su He, who was on the sidelines, couldn't hold on anymore, but Ji Xinghe finally stopped his repair work.

"Aren't you tired, Lao Ji? Hurry up and go back to rest. I'm too tired to sit and watch."

"Not tired yet, you go back first, I still have something to do."

"whats the matter?"

"I'll practice mech driving." Ji Xinghe looked at Xingyue who was parked aside. Ji Rong Xinyue had gone back to rest after dinner, so the mecha was very idle.

"Ah?" The exhausted Su He suddenly became excited: "I have to shoot this, Lao Ji, where do you want to practice, go to the training area?"

"Go to the surface, because the air pressure is different, the training effect in the base is not very good."

"But they..." Su He hesitated, he didn't know what to say.

"It's okay." Ji Xinghe walked towards Xingyue: "They will agree, because they are very willing to see me damage Xingyue during training, so that they don't have to worry that I will directly drive Xingyue one day rushed out."

"are not you tired?"

"Not tired."

Su He was silent. He thought that Ji Xinghe, who was working normally today, had already accepted this more favorable and safer work arrangement.But at this moment, looking at Ji Xinghe who had already worked for fifteen hours today, his footsteps were still firm, and his posture was still upright. He landed in the cockpit of Xingyue, but he only saw three words: It's hard to calm down.

Chapter 101 Suhe's Wish

"Beep beep..."

An urgent prompt sounded suddenly from the wristbands of all the mech fighters in the No. [-] base, whether they were in charge of stationing at the No. [-] base or those who came to rest and adjust, including those who were wounded and came for treatment, all of them heard the voice.

Well-trained, they got up one after another, and when they were about to rush to the standby area to assemble in the shortest time, they saw the prompt information on the bracelet clearly during the action.

"Sergeant Ji Xinghe, a first-class federal mecha fighter, is about to arrive on the surface for personal training. Those who are interested can watch it on the wristband, or come to the observation porthole or the standby area to watch it. Those who are not interested can sleep on the spot."

Gan, I was taken aback.

At this time, there are more than 500 mech fighters in the No. [-] base, and more than three-quarters of them cursed out. They have been nervous all the year round. After arriving at the base, they were a little relaxed. Suddenly, they were completely awake. come over.

Perhaps because of this reason, or because of the name Ji Xinghe, all the mech fighters did not choose to sleep in place. They either opened the link in the prompt message to enter the viewing angle, or continued the previous action to put on their clothes. The clothes rushed to the field observation area.

"Hey, hey, what are you doing so fast?"

"Damn, that's Ji Xinghe, Ji Xinghe, who won twelve gold stars in two battles, can I not run faster?"

"I know, but it's just training, not actual combat."

"You know? It's just training? Then why are you running so fast?"

The two mecha warriors trotted in the passage, and soon reached the observation porthole of Base No. [-], and they chose to watch with the naked eye.At this moment, it is not pitch black outside the porthole, and there are still stars, but it is not clear because of the distance.

There will not be any lighting devices on the periphery of the base, which may allow the empire to find out the precise location of the base, but the base has a large number of logistics personnel, and they have personnel who are on duty at night, and they have already prepared to have night time before the notice is issued. binoculars with visual function.

The two mech fighters who arrived first received a telescope each and stood on the edge of the porthole, looking at the exit of the base hangar.There were some footsteps behind them, but the two of them didn't put down the binoculars to look back, and they knew it was other mech fighters without thinking.

The observation porthole is located in a long and narrow passage, which is fully enough to accommodate the mecha fighters who choose to watch in this way. After everyone received the binoculars, they stood silently in front of the porthole and looked towards the hangar. They did not After waiting too long, Ji Xinghe, who had obtained the relevant authorization, drove his Xingyue out of the hangar.

"Is this mech designed and built by Lao Ji himself?"

When Ji Xinghe finally appeared, the mecha fighters still couldn't hold back their voices. They looked at the bloated mecha with different expressions and eyes.

"Yes, I've seen it before. The parts used in this mecha are all discarded parts in the warehouse. They were repaired by Lao Ji and the others and assembled into Xingyue."
