Mecha and Knife

"No, Lao Ji used his combat achievements to replace the eleventh-generation core engine, and it seems that the energy transmission board has also been replaced with new ones."

"Isn't it? The eleventh-generation core engine is so expensive. I haven't been able to change the mecha I drove before."

"Then tell me, Lao Ji defeated nine imperial mechs in the first battle, saved all of us, and prevented the base from being discovered by the empire. Is it worth an eleventh-generation core engine?"

Not all the mecha fighters that Ji Xinghe knew were transferred from Base No. [-]. There were also a few mecha fighters who participated in the last battle who knew more information, and they told others like You Rongyan stand up.

The new mecha fighters thought of the battle videos they had seen, and nodded in agreement.

"If you say that, let alone the [-]th generation, I don't think it's too much to give Lao Ji a [-]th generation core engine."

"Can you be more courageous? Just give Lao Ji the latest No.30 sixth-generation standard mecha. He is so fierce in driving the No.16-generation standard mecha, and his strength is definitely at a super level. Generation, that minute to become a real super mech warrior."

"The 36th-generation mecha is not the best. Lao Ji told us before that the one that suits us is the best. I think Lao Ji's strength can be brought into play, except for his own reasons. , it also has something to do with the fact that the No.16 generation mecha is more suitable for him."

"Old Ji is right, the one that suits you is the best. Moreover, it is true that the newer the mecha, the more powerful it is. Sometimes when a new function is researched, it is directly called a new generation of mecha. It didn’t bring about any qualitative change in the performance of the mecha. The real qualitative change still depends on the core engine and the energy device.”

"Then why not give Lao Ji a [-]th-generation mecha, replace it with a [-]th-generation engine, and upgrade the protective armor and motorized joints? To be honest, I think the mecha that Lao Ji built himself is how to say……"

"Too bloated?"

"Yes, it's too bulky to be flexible."

"I just think this mecha is so fat, its speed should not be fast, and the impact force may not be good when charging."

"Speed ​​can indeed affect the impact force, but so can body shape. You said it is fat. When it charged up, it crashed like a mountain. It was absolutely ferocious."

"But if the speed is slow, the dogs and orangutans of the empire can avoid it directly. It's useless if you can't hit it no matter how fierce it is."

"That's the reason. I guess Lao Ji has no choice. If he is not allowed to drive the mecha, he can only build the mecha himself. The cost of the mecha is so high, and Lao Ji is not a rich man. He can use his own mecha. The mech repair ability and discarded parts have built this mech, which is already very good. By the way, what is it called?"

"The stars and the moon, the stars of the stars, the moon of the moon."

"That's the full moon."

"You said, if Lao Ji moves too much, will Xingyue fall apart?"

"Ah? This..."

The observation porthole suddenly fell silent, not because they didn't know how to answer this question, but because Ji Xinghe started training.

Xingyue, who left the hangar and appeared on the surface of the alien planet, seemed to be walking steadily, and soon came to the training area designated by the relevant department for Ji Xinghe.The ground is actually not flat. Due to traffic demands, the ground around Base No. [-] will be flattened by various vehicles and mechas. The imperial reconnaissance equipment found clues.

Ji Xinghe came to the surface again, and the moment he raised his head to look at the sky, he felt suddenly relieved.What Su He said was right, he was a little bit uneasy after all, but at this moment he saw the starry sky above his head.

After the dust storm, the alien sky is spotless, the thin atmosphere is almost unobstructed, there are no clouds on the alien planet, and there is no light pollution on the planet without humans, which makes the sky full of stars look a bit dazzling, just like his name, The sky is full of stars.

Ji Xinghe lowered his head, and Xingyue lowered his head at the same time. Brain wave sensing combined with voice control, and the most important manual control, made Xingyue's movements exactly the same as Ji Xinghe's.The biggest difference is that Ji Xinghe is sitting while Xingyue is standing. This is a procedural setting.

Standing solemnly on the surface of the alien star, appearing sideways in the sight of many mecha fighters, Xingyue slowly separated her legs, and stood with her feet shoulder-width apart. The latter two can be described as fat and bloated, but also The metal arms, which can be described as extremely strong, were slowly raised from the sides of the body until the arms were straight and the palms were facing down.

After a slight pause, Xingyue's arms began to go down at the same time, the movement speed was also slow, and then they were raised again at the same time.Just when many mecha fighters thought that Ji Xinghe was just moving Xingyue's arms, a scene that shocked all the mecha fighters appeared.

Xingyue raised her arms again, with her left arm down and her right arm slightly up, her left hand turned to the right and her right hand turned to the left. The arm draws a circle in front of the body.

Xingyue's body completed the sideways movement, the motorized joints of both knees were bent, the left hand was in front of the body, and the right hand was behind the body, the movement stopped for a moment, and then continued to move slowly.

"This is……"

The many mecha fighters who were watching the portholes saw the unusually familiar maneuvers made by Xingyue, and their brains, which were awakened in the middle of the night, started working rapidly.

"Tai Chi?"

"Damn it, Lao Ji is doing Tai Chi with a mecha."

"My dear mother, this is Lao Ji's mecha that knows martial arts, no one can stop it?"

"But... isn't Lao Ji practicing Wing Chun? Why did he suddenly practice Taijiquan? Well, although there is no wooden dummy for mechas, Lao Ji is a professional mechanic. It shouldn't be difficult for him to build one. Come on. Speaking of which, is it necessary for the mecha to hit a wooden dummy?"

"Is it possible that Xingyue will suddenly fall apart because Lao Ji is afraid that the action will be too violent?"

The mecha fighters were suddenly disappointed and distressed. They looked at Ji Xinghe who was training alone under the galaxy, saw the hard work and persistence, and felt lonely and unwilling, so some people turned around.

"I won't watch it, I'll watch the video tomorrow, and I'll go to practice."

"Wait for me, I'll go too."

"Count me in."

"Don't even try to steal the mech from me, go to bed quickly."

"Why do you need to sleep for a long time when you are alive? After death, you will sleep forever. Lao Ji doesn't sleep, and I don't sleep either."

Some people left, others stayed. Su He, who controlled the drone to fly out to shoot, looked at the bloated and slow-moving mecha on the screen, and felt the deepest feeling in his heart, because he knew almost everything about Ji Xinghe.In his eyes, Xingyue's silent movements seemed to be shouting at the merciless time and fate.

He added a narration to the silent video footage.

"The death of a son has not been revenged. There is a daughter in the family, but it has not grown up. The empire is in chaos and has not been settled. How can I dare to grow old? How can I grow old? If there is a god in the world, I don't want the rest of my life to be safe, but I only hope that Xinghe will not grow old."

Chapter 102 Young Mech Warriors

Going back to bed at 01:30 in the morning, and getting up at [-]:[-] am, Ji Xinghe, who had slept for four and a half hours, regained his full state, but the reporter Su He who stayed up with him did not get up on time.This really cannot be blamed on Su He for being unprofessional. During the time he was filming Ji Xinghe, he slept an average of only six hours a day. If it wasn’t for the fact that he didn’t need to engage in physical labor, he could also take a nap during the daytime shooting. He couldn't take it anymore.

Boxing outside Jirong Xinyue's room for half an hour, and then I took my granddaughter who went to bed early every day so she could get up early to have breakfast, and came to the regular repair area at 07:30 to start work.Like yesterday, Ji Rong Xinyue entered Xingyue's cockpit and started her daily study.

"After studying for an hour, you have to come out and move your body, relax your eyes."

"Don't worry, Grandpa, I will let Xingyue remind me."

"Well, let's go."

"Okay grandpa, you should also pay attention to rest."

A morning passed quickly, and Su He rushed over at 08:30, quietly waiting to film Ji Xinghe's daily work, and would come out of the Xingyue cockpit every hour Ji Rong Xinyue was playing, and he, like Ji Xinghe, was worried that Ji Rong Xinyue would become myopic.

At noon, he went to the cafeteria to eat as usual, and then a group of three went to the training area. Ji Xinghe continued to complete his duties as a specially-appointed instructor. His salary for this part-time job was much higher than before, from [-] to [-].From this point of view, the superiors have never denied Ji Xinghe's strength. They don't want Ji Xinghe to drive mechas and build Xingyue again, just because they don't want anything to happen to Ji Xinghe.

A person's power is limited after all. Even an ace mecha fighter cannot directly kill the Empire Star, but the power of an example is infinite. The conscription effect brought by Ji Xinghe is one aspect. People who persist in fighting in the world also have an inspiring effect.

Just like last night, Ji Xinghe, who chose to practice alone, let some mecha fighters who should have slept and rested to the training area to drive mechas for training.Affecting rest is a bad thing, but compared to stimulating people's hearts, less rest time has little effect. Mech fighters are not fools, they know their physical condition well.

"Instructor, I have a question."

During the training time in the training area, the new mecha fighters all used the title of instructor to Ji Xinghe. Instructor Li, who was called Laoji regardless of time and occasion, was no longer in the No. [-] base.

"You said."

Ji Xinghe stood in front of the lineup of mech fighters, holding his hands behind his back. He has completed today's guided training, and he has knocked down more than 30 people without sweating. Now is the time to end today's training.

"What's the point of your extra practice last night?" The mecha warrior who asked the question felt that his question was wrong, and added: "I mean that kind of practice method, you are using the mecha to do Tai Chi punch?"

All the mecha fighters looked at Ji Xinghe curiously. Some of them had been watching last night, and some took the time to watch the video this morning.So they all know that Ji Xinghe has been doing Tai Chi with the mecha during the one hour of extra training, which is not in line with the normal training of the mecha.

"Yes, it's Tai Chi."

Ji Xinghe first confirmed and then pondered for a while, then calmly glanced at all the mecha fighters. Because of the large number of people, he couldn't see all of them, but he was sure that his voice could be heard by everyone.

"What I need to explain is that Taijiquan is not the slow-moving method in your impression. The reason why you have this impression is that Taijiquan is regarded as a health-preserving method by many people. The most common 24-style Taijiquan, in You can often see it in the park. I don’t deny the health-preserving effect of Tai Chi, but Tai Chi is definitely more than just having a health-preserving effect. Pushing, stroking, squeezing, pressing, picking, pushing, elbowing, and leaning are the eight most common forms of Tai Chi. Strength method, Ping Jin is the foundation of the eight strengths, fists far away, elbows close to the body..."

As soon as he said it, the long-winded characteristics shared by the elderly couldn't stop, but Ji Xinghe didn't finish, because he saw the confusion in the eyes of the mech fighters, as if he was asking him with his eyes: "Old Ji, Can you speak human language?

"That's about it. If you want to learn, you can come to me alone, but I'm not very proficient in Taijiquan, it's just a usable level. In the actual combat training process, if you want, I can use Taijiquan Let's fight with you, and explain in detail when we fight."

The mecha fighters all breathed a sigh of relief, they really couldn't understand.

"Instructor, is it really okay? We can't beat you with Wing Chun, but with Tai Chi, hehe..."

"Does Taijiquan have to be one against three instructors? Or, let's try it now?"

Hearing that Ji Xinghe was going to fight with Taijiquan, these young mecha fighters who had been beaten by Ji Xinghe all felt eager to try.

Ji Xinghe sighed in his heart, after all, he was too young.

"Tomorrow at noon, I will give you a chance to defeat me. Let me talk about the fact that I use Xingyue to do Tai Chi." Ji Xinghe brought the topic back: "About driving mechas, you have much more experience than me. , I can’t teach you how to drive mechs, I can only talk about my thoughts. Different people have different opinions, and wise people have different opinions. You can listen to it but not believe it all. You need to figure out what is most suitable for you.”

Although Ji Xinghe has a lot of gold stars, among the hundreds of mecha fighters in the audience, Ji Xinghe and the new instructor are only twelve first-level mecha fighters, but if you really want to talk about the combat time and mileage of driving the mecha , everyone is more than Ji Xinghe.

"In my opinion, fighting with mechs is the same as fighting with bare hands, or using cold weapons or hot weapons. You need to know what you can do and what your weapons can do. Xingyue is a This is a brand new mecha, it is different from all the standard mechas of our federation, so even if it is designed and built by me, I don't know what it can do, and how much some maneuvers can do .”

"I choose Tai Chi because it is based on the health-preserving philosophy of Tai Chi. To put it bluntly, I can use one sentence: If you ask what the purpose is, it is the pill of longevity and longevity. To put it bluntly, it is to fully exercise all the muscles in the body. , joints, and even exercising viscera and other organs, which are also useful for mechas. The muscles, joints, viscera, etc. of the human body can be regarded as the core engine, motorized joints, energy core, etc. of the mecha, through corresponding Gradually grasp the performance of the mecha while moving these parts..."

Ji Xinghe wanted to speak more clearly, so he had to procrastinate, half an hour longer than usual.After he finished explaining and answering questions, he returned to the regular maintenance area to earn contribution points through work.

Su He stayed in the training area for the time being, he wanted to interview the mech fighters who finished the class.

"Excuse me, what do you think of Lao Ji's teaching?"

"It's very useful. If I don't know Taijiquan, I'd like to drive the mecha to practice, and feel what Lao Ji said about being familiar with myself and the mecha."

"It seems useless, because we are all driving standard mechas. Today is the No.19 generation, and tomorrow will be the No.20 generation. Sometimes the mechas we drive in the morning and afternoon are different. According to Lao Ji, the Federation Each of us has to be equipped with an exclusive mecha, and if it breaks, we have to repair it as it is, otherwise the previous familiarity will be in vain.”

"I don't think it's quite right. Familiarity with the performance of mechs is only one aspect. What really determines the outcome of our battles is the overload limit that our bodies can withstand when performing high-speed maneuvers and non-standard maneuvers. The impact force generated when it collided with the imperial mecha. If you know your mecha well, but you faint in the cockpit when you go to fight, isn’t that a target?”

"Yes, high-load overload training is more important. I think the training of standard tactical actions and non-standard tactical actions in the tactical manual is also more important than what Lao Ji said."

"Reporter Su, you wouldn't secretly tell Lao Ji what we said... the instructor, would you? I don't want to be beaten up by him tomorrow."

Su He laughed: "Old Ji said that the benevolent sees the benevolent and the wise sees wisdom. Everyone has their own ideas. It is better to have no books than to believe in books, so he will not have any opinions."

"That's good, that's good." A mech warrior breathed a sigh of relief, hesitated and said, "Actually, we are different from Lao Ji, we are young and our bodies are better, so we don't need to Take it slow like him."

The other mecha warriors agreed, and they still believed that the reason why Ji Xinghe used the mecha to practice Taijiquan was because Ji Xinghe was too old, and after a day's work, he was not physically fit enough to carry out more heavy-duty maneuver training.

Are you in better health?

Su He sighed in his heart: You are really too young.

He didn't remind these young mecha fighters, because he knew very well that they would understand this at noon tomorrow.

……

……

Chapter 103

The daily and regular life is a bit calm for Ji Xinghe, but for the mech fighters in the training area, they have to endure the stormy waves every day.

What Su He said in his heart was right. The day after Ji Xinghe finished Taijiquan, the young mecha fighters understood the truth that they were too young after all.

In the daily actual combat training of one against three, Ji Xinghe, who had promised to use Tai Chi, unexpectedly used Wing Chun faster than usual, and knocked down three mech fighters.The mecha fighters watching the battle, and some soldiers who came to participate in the combat training, didn't even react.

"Come again."

Ji Xinghe stood where he was, and signaled the three mech fighters to get up and back away.The instructor next to him immediately arranged for three mecha fighters to appear on the stage, but there was no surprise in their ending, and they were all knocked to the ground by Ji Xinghe.

This time, because everyone was paying attention, the mecha fighters standing in the front row could see a little more clearly, but this made them even more shocked.

Someone was the first to punch Ji Xinghe, but before the fist could hit Ji Xinghe, Ji Xinghe's hand was already on the man's arm, and then he pulled it lightly but quickly, and the man's The body passed Ji Xinghe's side and fell to the ground.

Someone kicked Ji Xinghe, and his kick must be very powerful, but Ji Xinghe easily avoided it with just a slight sideways movement. People also fell to the ground.

The third person took the opportunity to embrace Ji Xinghe, but when his outstretched arms failed to wrap around Ji Xinghe's body, Ji Xinghe had already completed the movement of leaning against his shoulders, so this person fell on his back to the ground.

Because it is actual combat training, there is a rule that you can't fight again when you fall to the ground, and judging from the performance just now, even if the three of them stand up and fight again, the ending will not be different, so these three people have no doubts. Is defeated.

"Fake, is this Tai Chi?"

"Instructor, although we don't know kung fu, you can't fool us like this."

"Didn't it mean that your Taijiquan is only usable? If it is only usable, then what is your level of Wing Chun, instructor?"

"How about... Instructor, you should use Wing Chun."

The mech fighters had to question it out loud, because Ji Xinghe's speed was very fast, and it looked completely different from the Taijiquan they had imagined.

Ji Xinghe understands everyone's doubts: "Practice and play are different. Slow practice does not mean slow play. Well... you should understand muscle memory. Practice is to let you have the corresponding muscle memory. Play It’s about bursting out this muscle memory in the shortest possible time when you need to fight.”

Instructor Qin, the new head of the training area, asked for everyone: "Instructor Ji, we all understand the truth, but how can you be so good at fighting?"

"It's very simple. Like me, you started practicing boxing at the age of ten, and you practiced until you were my age." Ji Xinghe said seriously and sincerely: "Every punch and kick has 55 years of kung fu, and most people can't stop it." .”

very simple?

55 years?

normal person?

The people in the training area stared blankly at Ji Xinghe, really unable to tell whether he was telling the truth or just taking the opportunity to pretend.In the past, no one thought that Ji Xinghe liked to pretend, but since Second Lieutenant Shen Mu in the machine repair area said in person, "Old Ji, you can really pretend" in public, many people began to suspect that Ji Xinghe would sometimes pretend.

This didn't damage Ji Xinghe's image, after all, it's human nature, who wants to walk at night in brocade clothes.If other people are as powerful as Ji Xinghe, they would like to write the words "peerless master" on their clothes.

Su He, who was filming, recorded this sentence of Ji Xinghe emphatically. He planned to ask his colleagues to add this sentence to the fourth episode of "The Old Man and the Sea of ​​Stars". It is said that the third episode The edit was done, but disagreements arose during the review process.Some people are unwilling to disclose the matter of Ji Xinghe's destruction of nine imperial mechs. They are worried that public opinion will cause Ji Xinghe to expand. They have violated the premise of the military order many times. Will the expanded Ji Xinghe stay in the base obediently?

Moreover, the battle took place in the outskirts of Base No. [-]. If this battle were made public, it would likely cause panic.The location of the base discovered by the empire has a great impact, because the barracks and blockades are not engaged in production work, and it is difficult to complete the supply of materials only with a limited number of spaceships.
