Mecha and Knife

……

Thirty-ten minutes of packing time is more than enough, even if Ji Xinghe has wasted 10 minute of time, he hardly has any luggage, and what he has is only the necessary survival supplies and Ji Rong Xinyue's medicine.

Jirong Xinyue also had no luggage. When she came out of the Xingyue cockpit, she was silent after learning the news of the transfer, but she put it away very quickly. She walked up to Ji Xinghe, she didn't want to drag Ji Xinghe down.

The only physical photo of my mother, ten chocolates given by my grandfather, two rings strung together by a thin chain, it looks like a pair of rings, but the workmanship is too simple and rough, as if I am not proficient in jewelry making It's the same as someone who grinds it out by hand.

"My mother left it for me, and my mother said it was given by my father." Ji Rongxinyue introduced a sentence to Ji Xinghe who saw this necklace for the first time, and then lowered his head to explain: "Mom didn't let me take it out before, She said grandpa would be sad when he saw it."

"It's okay." Ji Xinghe rubbed Ji Rong Xinyue's head: "Don't be afraid, grandpa is here."

"En." Ji Rong Xinyue nodded firmly: "Xinxin is not afraid, grandpa and Xingyue Knight will protect Xinxin, Xinxin will also protect grandpa."

The people on Alien Star had no luggage, and Ji Xinghe, who brought Ji Rong Xinyue, quickly came to the hangar area. He saw the convoy escorting him to transfer, and the people who transferred with him. These people were changing protective clothing .

"This is Xinxin's."

Someone brought over two sets of protective suits, one is normal for mech fighters, and the other is smaller and looks like it was custom-made for Ji Rong Xinyue.

Ji Xinghe, who hadn't had time to be moved, saw three more mechas, one was his Xingyue, one was the Federation's No.16-generation mecha, and the third was the Federation's No.19-generation mecha driven by the left-handed brother. A, Brother Zuo finally got back his qualification to pilot a mecha.

"Old man, old man, I'm here." Shen Mu yelled and brought two mechas over. His expression looked displeased, but he still smiled and greeted Xin Xin, and then looked at Liao Ji Xinghe: "I don't want to leave, they told me to leave too, I'm fucked, if they didn't say to be with you, I would never leave."

"That's right." Shen Mu pointed to the two mechas behind him: "I brought Xingyue here for you, and this one. Before, I wondered why I was asked to transform this mecha. It’s for you. Although it’s the 24th-generation standard mech, I’ve replaced the [-]th-generation core engine, and I’ve upgraded the protective armor and motorized joints. Look, I’ve also painted twelve gold stars for you. No, It's [-], Xingyue also has [-] on her body, wow, looking at you like this, Lao Ji, you are already a super class..."

Ji Xinghe looked at the two mechas, especially the unexpected sixteenth-generation mecha, and the two eight-cutting knives mounted on the waist of this mecha, and he suddenly didn't want to leave.

But looking at Xinxin trotting towards Xingyue, he had to leave.

In the process of preparing here, Su He also packed up and ran over, came to Ji Xinghe with some panting and said: "I asked, the transfer route is very safe, after passing the absolute safety zone, Su Chuanyun, An Dere, the deaf man, and the cripple will come to pick us up. They are in base [-]. The medical area of ​​base [-] is at the same level as base [-]. You don’t have to worry about Xinxin’s follow-up treatment. It’s okay, it’s definitely okay, we…”

Shen Mu interrupted: "Old Su, don't add the last sentence."

"Old Su? Didn't you say that you will call me Brother Su from now on?" Su He frowned and asked, "What happened to my last sentence?"

"You are raising the flag, you are raising the flag, under normal circumstances..."

"Roll, crow's mouth."

"You're the crow's mouth, okay?"

When the two were arguing quietly, Brother Zuo got out of his mech, walked straight to Ji Xinghe, and stood in a military posture to salute.

"Instructor, Lin Duan, a second-level mech fighter from the remnant company, is here to report, please give me instructions."

"Don't do this, I'm not used to it."

"Then let's call him Master. It's fine for Master to call me left handed. Don't worry, my left hand is completely fine. From today onwards, I'm a real left-handed brother. I'll just come if I have something to do."

Shen Mu and Su He looked at the left-hand brother Lin Duan at the same time, and said in unison: "You are the crow's mouth."

Chapter 106

On the barren alien land, a convoy is moving slowly. There are three armed armored vehicles at the front and back, four transport vehicles in the middle, and a tractor-trailer vehicle. There is a mecha on the left and right, and a scout vehicle in front to explore the way.

"Attention all units, we are about to leave the safe zone, and we have not found any enemy situation for the time being. We will meet up with the mech fighters who support us in 10 minutes."

In the communication channel of the whole group, voices from inside the reconnaissance car sounded. Not only did they have to drive the reconnaissance car to the front, but they also needed to control the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft to detect the surrounding situation.The Federation has a lot of reconnaissance satellites in the near-Earth space of the alien planet, but the critical situation of the No. [-] base and other theaters require the resource support of reconnaissance satellites.

"It would be great if there was a plane. My butt hurts when I ride in a car." Shen Mu, who was sitting in the transport car, complained with a walkie-talkie: "This alien planet doesn't even have an atmosphere or oxygen. It’s all carbon dioxide, the average temperature is minus 55 degrees, and the lowest temperature is minus 133 degrees, and you have to wear a helmet and protective clothing when you come out. Alas, I still fantasized about running freely on alien stars and being a flying man.”

The transfer process is extremely boring. There are no man-made roads on the surface of the alien planet. In order to ensure the primary premise of survival, the vehicles used on the alien planet have poor shock absorption performance.Therefore, both the speed and the comfort of the ride are very low. In contrast, the mecha running on two legs is much more suitable.

"Is it Second Lieutenant Shen Mu?" Someone asked in the communication channel.

"It's me, who are you?"

"I'm Dr. Steffen." Dr. Steffen, who was transferred in advance like Ji Xinghe because of its importance, corrected himself after introducing himself: "Strictly speaking, there is oxygen on alien stars. The gas itself contains oxygen atoms. In addition to the photosynthesis of plants, we can also separate it through technical means and make it suitable for our human survival. As early as more than 60 years ago, the aliens in Yingzhou The star probe has done related experiments, and successfully separated the oxygen atoms of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere of alien stars to make about 5 grams of oxygen, which is equivalent to the amount of oxygen an astronaut needs to breathe for about 10 minutes of normal activities. The output of the equipment at that time was about 10 grams of oxygen per hour..."

Shen Mu is boring, and other people are equally boring. When scientists start to do science popularization, some people ask questions curiously.

"Dr. Steffen, let alone more than 60 years ago, let alone me at that time, my parents were not even born, even Lao Ji was just born, let's talk about now."

"Now, in terms of the current total population of our alien planet, the production of oxygen is more than enough. With oxygen, artificial water can be realized. We now have a variety of related technologies, the most commonly used... …To put it simply, it is to let hydrogen burn in oxygen to generate water, which can be used to grow crops and green plants to supply our food needs, and green plants can also produce new oxygen through photosynthesis, forming a virtuous circle, alas... ..."

Dr. Steffen sighed while talking: "If there is no threat from the empire, we can use the method of building a living base to achieve immigration to alien stars, and use alien stars as a pedal to realize the exploration of the entire solar system, and even It is to make the alien star an outpost for our exploration of the universe."

Shen Mu asked suddenly: "Dr. Steffen, do you study the leap gate technology? Can you tell me about the leap gate of the empire?"

"Well, you can say something that doesn't need to be kept secret." Dr. Steffen pondered for a while: "Before the discovery of the empire, our federation had two technological research directions on interstellar travel, one is the jump engine technology, and the other is the warp drive technology , This is also called curvature engine technology. Both technologies can realize superluminal flight in the cognitive sense, allowing us to cross the interstellar space with a distance of light years.”

"To put it simply, the so-called warp drive is to create an artificial 'bubble' of normal space-time around the spacecraft, so that the spacecraft can safely travel at a speed several orders of magnitude faster than the speed of light, while avoiding Despite the relativistic problem of time dilation, this technology is still navigating in our normal dimension and is continuous.”

"But the jump gate of the empire, that is, the jump engine technology is different. It is a bit like a wormhole. The basic principle is to move through the folding space. Well, to put it simply, it is not continuous in our normal dimensional space. Instead, it appears directly from one coordinate to another coordinate position similar to teleportation."

Shen Mu continued to ask: "Then how far have we researched? Can we create a jump gate and directly counterattack the Imperial Star? Open a jump gate, throw [-] nuclear warheads, and blow them up."

"Unfortunately, we haven't been able to research it yet, because we have never captured a complete imperial transition device, and the research progress is very slow with only some wreckage." Dr. Steffen added after answering: "But you don't need to Worrying, because of its particularity, it is impossible to choose the location of the transition at random. Before, they could only come to the near-Earth space of the alien planet. After we released the interference device, they can only pass through the relevant equipment on the surface of the alien planet. Technology comes to the surface of aliens."

Shen Mu suddenly realized: "Does that mean that as long as we destroy all their transition devices on the alien planet, we can leave them alone and drive them to extinction?"

"Theoretically, it is like this." Dr. Steffen laughed: "But didn't you just say that you want to counterattack the Empire Star? If we destroy all the transition devices, how can we counterattack the Empire Star and throw away all the nuclear weapons?" What about the past?"

"Hehe..." Shen Mu sneered twice: "Throwing nuclear weapons as farts, I understand, if there is a day they will definitely not throw nuclear weapons, because after throwing them, the environment of the Empire Star will be worse than that of Alien Star , they will only try to occupy the Empire Star at the cost of countless lives."

These words quieted down the communication channel, everyone knew what Shen Mu said was the truth, what human beings need more is a livable planet than a planet that has been baptized by tens of thousands of nuclear weapons.

From a long-term point of view, this choice is the most beneficial, but after all, countless people need to sacrifice for it.

"I didn't expect Second Lieutenant Shen Mu to be an anti-war person."

"Anti-war shit, if there is a day, I will definitely rush to the front... Repair mechs, fight if you want to fight, if you don't fight them, they will come and beat us. I just...just..."

"Just don't want to sacrifice too many people?"

"Yes, but how can there be no sacrifice in war?" Shen Mu sighed again.

The communication channel became quiet again, and Ji Xinghe, who was in the sixteenth-generation standard mecha, suddenly asked: "Dr. Steffen, how many transition devices do they have on the alien planet?"

"At present, we can confirm two, the specific location is unknown, there may be a third, but at present there are only three at most, because the leap gate cannot be made casually, and the alien star is always in motion. It has to be combined with enough computing power to be able to make the leap."

"What's the matter, old Ji?" Shen Mu's voice became excited: "Are you going to do something big?"

Ji Xinghe responded calmly: "Just asking."

"No, based on what I know about you, you will definitely not ask casually." Shen Mu didn't believe it: "If you really want to do such a big thing, you must bring me along."

Su He glanced at Ji Rong Xinyue who was quietly sitting next to him, and said: "Shen Mu, are you crazy? No matter how strong Lao Ji is, he is only one person. What are you talking about?"

"Who says Lao Ji is alone? Lao Ji still has me, and you. Although the camera can't kill the imperial gorillas, it can kill the imperial monkeys." Shen Mu retorted: "There is still Brother Left Hand. Time to bring the blind, the lame, the deaf, and the lame. Wow, the old man and the disabled company, together with a great mechanic and a timid war reporter, have created an undisputed great miracle. It's all hot."

"I'm not talking about Lao Ji alone, but Lao Ji is only one person." After correcting Su He, he pursued: "But please tell me clearly why you are a great mechanic, but I am a coward. War correspondent?"

"It's all the same, don't pay too much attention to the details, it's all about human design. In a team, there must always be a negative teaching material like green leaves to set off the red flowers." Shen Mu said with a smile: "I'm wronged you, old Su, when the time comes Let me give you a reversal, the cowardly war correspondent pressed the detonation button at the most critical moment, tsk tsk tsk..."

If it wasn't for Ji Rong Xinyue sitting next to him, Su He would definitely scold him directly. If it wasn't on the surface of the alien planet, he would definitely rush into the transport truck where Shen Mu was and start fighting, even if he couldn't actually fight. Ji Xinghe and Shen Xin practice martial arts.

"Shen Mu, why don't you retire and write novels, I will definitely subscribe you when the time comes."

"It's up to me. I'll write novels after I retire. I'll write stories about Lao Ji. It's called The Old Man and the Mecha."

"The name doesn't sound good. It's better to call it Jijia and Dao. Lao Ji is good at using swords, and he fights like a sword."

"Your name is not good. It sounds like a very ordinary plot and a knife. It will hit the street."

"What is the direct relationship between the plot and the name? Wouldn't you write it more relaxed, more passionate, and less sensational?"

The noise from Shen Mu and Su He made everyone in the transfer team feel a little more relaxed. Ji Xinghe, who was driving a mecha and following the convoy, received a text message from Brother Zuo.

"Instructor, master, when you become a super mecha warrior and have your own team, remember to take me with you. The blind and the lame will definitely be willing to follow you. You can't dislike us as crippled."

After pondering for a while, Ji Xinghe replied solemnly: "As long as you are willing to believe me."

Special mecha fighters have their own squads, only ace mecha fighters can be called a team, and Ji Chenxing used to be a member of Han Li's team.

Speaking of the team, Ji Xinghe forced himself not to think about Ji Chenxing. He thought of Lieutenant Colonel Chen Xun. It is said that he is a very powerful sniper and is very good at management. Reserve a spot quickly.

However, if Lieutenant Colonel Chen Xun came over, the team should not be enough for him to condescend, maybe... can become a team, is this an ambition?

"Attention all units, turn around immediately, turn around immediately."

The relaxed and happy atmosphere collapsed in an instant.

Chapter 107 Walking Alone and Retrograde

"Finally I can see Lao Ji. I haven't seen him for almost a month. I still miss him."

"His old man? Su Chuanyun, I've recorded it."

"Andre, you are so shameless, you should learn from the deaf and crippled people, otherwise you will have no friends like this."

"If I can become Lao Ji's most valued apprentice, I would rather have no friends."

"Dream." The cripple mocked, "You are definitely not the apprentice that Lao Ji values ​​most."

"I am the best at fighting the four of us. Although I have never seen a blind man or a lame man, I am sure I cannot fight them." Andre retorted: "Who else could it be except me?"

"The most able to fight is not necessarily the most important thing. Besides, if you really want to count, Major Han Li is also Lao Ji's apprentice, and Major Jackson, he also said that he would worship Lao Ji as his teacher." The deaf man said calmly. asked: "Why, do you think you can fight better than the two of them?"

"Is it interesting for you three Longzhou people to bully me and a Xiongzhou person?" Andre said dissatisfiedly: "Wait, I will sue Lao Ji in a while and let my master decide for me to expel all three of you traitors." Leave the teacher's door."

Four federal mechas are running on the endless orange-red land. Their task is to meet Ji Xinghe and his party from the sixth base. Compared with the sixth base whose location is likely to have been discovered, the fifth base The location information has always been well hidden, and no traces of imperial mechs and detection equipment have ever been found within the alert range.

So this time the mission is very easy for them. It is difficult for the empire without reconnaissance satellites in the alien near-Earth space to find their whereabouts.The traces left by the mechs and the convoy during their march will be covered by local dust storms in a short time.

"The predetermined coordinates are about to be reached."

The reminder from the navigation system made them feel more relaxed. Running on the unimpeded Great Plains, the communication signal is hardly affected. They can contact the fifth base directly, or through the fifth base and Establish connections with other units of the Federation on alien planets.

The federation's communication control on alien planets is very strict. Although the federal humans are completely different from the imperial orangutans and monkeys, and logically speaking, there is no possibility of human rape, but everything is not absolute.

Not only is there communication control on Alien Planet, after the war with the Empire began, the communication on Azure Planet was also strictly controlled.Related equipment that can transmit communication signals into outer space is almost extinct in the market. Some of the personnel who know how to manufacture related equipment have been closely monitored, and even the professional disciplines of relevant schools and related courses on the Internet have all been banned.

Many people believe that the reason why the empire appeared on the alien star is because it received a large number of signals sent to outer space by humans on the blue planet.

"There are still three kilometers left, and we will be able to contact Lao Ji directly using the short-wave communication channel."

"Well, I don't know if Xinxin is in the mecha or in the transport vehicle. If she is in the mecha, you can still say hello to Xinxin."

"It should be in the transport vehicle. The mech doesn't have any ride comfort at all. The old man is not willing to let Xinxin suffer."

"But I heard that Xingyue built by Lao Ji and Second Lieutenant Shen Mu has a seat specially designed for Xinxin in the cockpit. With Lao Ji's ability, it should be no problem to add some shock absorbers."

"Can Xingyue still fight?"

"Xingyue is definitely not good. It is made of discarded parts. If Lao Ji drives Xingyue, he probably can't even beat me."

"That's what I said... damn it!"

Andre, who was running at the forefront, inadvertently raised his head to glance at the sky, and suddenly exclaimed: "Hide, hide now, look at the sky."

When his voice sounded on the short-wave communication channel shared by the four mechas, the mecha he controlled had stopped running and then fell to the ground. The other three were also moving very quickly. Looking at the sky through the camera behind the head.

Those were two flying objects that looked like two small black dots to the naked eye on the ground. By changing the focus of the high-definition camera of the mecha, they immediately confirmed that there were two spaceships in the sky.

"It's a battleship, one of ours and one of the Empire."

"They're fighting."

"No, our battleship seems to be at a disadvantage."

"They're flying lower and lower."

The four mechas all had orange-red paint, and they seemed to be integrated with the alien land lying on the ground, and did not attract the attention of the two space battleships fighting in the sky.

It is said to be a battleship, but it is actually a spacecraft with added weapons and equipment. There is no essential difference in performance parameters from those spacecraft that transport supplies.

"Why do we only have one ship, what about our support?"

"Aren't space and the sky our home field? Isn't it already completely occupied by us?"

"How to do how to do."

"Contact the base, contact the base immediately."

The four of them were about to contact Base No. [-] after a short discussion, but they received a message from Base No. [-]: "The space battleship Xinyuehu of the Dongfang Canglong Fleet of Longzhou has encountered an imperial warship, and its engine is damaged. It is about to make a forced landing. The estimated coordinates have been sent. , the error is less than five kilometers, please go to support immediately."

Without any hesitation, the four mech fighters gave up their concealment and got up and rushed towards the new coordinates displayed on the navigation system.As they ran, the two space battleships dragged black smoke and began to land forcibly. The Federation's Xinyuehu space battleship did not lose. It also destroyed the engine of the Imperial space battleship while its engine was damaged.

"Unfortunately, I won't see Lao Ji anymore." Su Chuanyun's tone was very regretful, as if he was saying that he would not see Ji Xinghe this time.

Everyone else understood what he meant. Compared to the armed forces in space battleships, the battle of four mechas was just a drop in the bucket.It would be fine if the imperial warship was severely damaged during the forced landing, but they could clearly see that the landing speed of the imperial space warship would not cause it to be seriously damaged.

"I don't want to see Lao Ji at this time. If he comes, when will I be able to become a first-class mecha fighter?"
