interstellar enemy

After visiting the laboratory building and manufacturing warehouse, led by the second lieutenant, the group came to the simulated mecha battle room.It occupies a separate building here, which shows how much the military attaches importance to it.

"You can play here." The second lieutenant smiled.This place is open to all people in the base. Generally, there will be more people in the afternoon, and everyone has meetings and missions in the morning, so it seems relatively deserted inside.

Probably because they were afraid that they would feel uncomfortable, the second lieutenant withdrew very intimately, saying that he would pick them up in four or ten minutes.Although General Laijunde also walked out of the training room, he didn't go far, just stood by the window.

Qiao Xi looked at these simulators, he probably couldn't do it, after all, this is not his professional scope.But if there is this thing, it will be very convenient for the soldiers of Solo Star to learn how to drive mechas.This visit to the high-level base gave Qiao Xi a certain understanding of the military strength of the empire. It is not without reason that So Luoxing has been suppressed for so many years.This is just one of the many high-level military bases in the empire. Needless to say, the sum of all of them is enough to make So Luoxing surrender.

For the first time, Qiao Xi felt a sense of powerlessness. Some things really cannot be subverted by him. For Solo Star to be independent, he must be able to develop mechas that can restrain these advanced intelligent mechas. But now he What he has learned is not enough to support his ideas, he must learn more.

"Do you want to go up and try?" He Tian came to Qiao Xi and asked.

Qiao Xi looked at the simulation cabin and said to He Tian, ​​"You teach me?"

"Okay." He Tian nodded.The simulated cabin is much safer than the real mecha, and it is suitable for beginners like Qiao Xi to practice.

The two went into the simulation pod together, Thane and Elmo into the next one, Otto and Yancey each.After arriving at the medical center yesterday, the doctor gave Yancey a detailed examination, and after confirming that there was no problem, the teacher agreed to Yancey's visit today.

The door was closed, and there were two driver's seats inside. Qiao Xi sat in the main driver's seat, and He Tian sat next to him.Teach him the operation method and basic commands of the mecha, let Qiao Xi learn to move first, and after Qiao Xi is familiar with it, he chooses the basic mecha battle in the training project.

For these basic instructions, Qiao Xi learned very quickly, and his hand speed is also good, so manipulating this mech is not a problem.After He Tian selected the project, a virtual mech appeared in front of him.Under He Tian's command, Qiao Xi rushed to the virtual mecha and attacked.

At the beginning, Qiao Xi still listened to He Tian's command, but gradually, He Tian found that Qiao Xi's own consciousness was dominant, which was a good sign, so he stopped giving instructions from the side, but sat by and watched Qiao Xi Xi plays by herself.

Qiao Xi slowly mastered the rhythm, and then relentlessly launched an all-round attack, as if taking the virtual mech as a target to vent, and every strike was firm and ruthless.By the time he got tired of playing, the virtual mecha had already lost its combat effectiveness and was chopped into pieces by Qiao Xi.Fortunately, it is only virtual, if it is a real mecha, I don't know how much I will pay.

"In a bad mood?" He Tian asked looking at the broken pieces in front of him.

Qiao Xi came back to her senses and felt that she seemed a little over-aggressive. She coughed lightly and said, "No, I'm too excited and I can't control it well."

He Tian nodded, the opposite was just a low-level mech, it was quite normal to be hacked like this, after all, the defense power was not high.

"Are you still playing?" He Tian asked.

Qiao Xi smiled slightly, and said: "Don't play, you can teach me to drive a real mech another day. The virtual one always feels like something is missing." If he had never entered the mecha cabin of Youya, this kind of virtual cabin would be complete. It can satisfy him, but it is precisely because he has entered it and has seen He Tian manipulate it to fight with his own eyes. The feeling of adrenaline rush cannot be replaced and given by the virtual cabin.

"Okay." He Tian opened the barn door and went down with Qiao Xi.The other four people are still in the warehouse, seeming to be having fun.

Qiao Xi and He Tian sat on the bench beside them, waiting for the second lieutenant to pick them up.

"What kind of mecha do you like?" He Tian asked.

Qiao Xi thought for a while, and said, "It's like You Sui." Regardless of grade or appearance, they are all Qiao Xi's ideal appearance.

"You Sui can't give it to you." He Tian pinched Qiao Xi's finger.

"You can't use it even if you want to give it to me. I don't have enough genes." This is the truth. All the systems of Youxuan are tailor-made for Hetian. With the same level of mecha, other Qiao Xi still has the confidence to drive it, but Youxuan He definitely can't, even with supernatural powers.

"You can consider asking Professor Lu Jia to help you build one." He Tian suggested.

Qiao Xi laughed, and said, "When I learn how to do it myself." At present, he dare not let Lu Jia do it for him. Tailor-made needs to go through a series of tests, and he can't guarantee that he will not be discovered during the test. flaw.

After the second lieutenant came back, he took them to visit the training ground and the battlefield simulation command.General Lai Junde walked in front of them all the way, but he didn't look at Qiao Xi again.At noon, the teachers and officers waiting outside the gate were brought in, and several of them were sent out of the base after having lunch in the cafeteria here.

There was nothing to do in the afternoon, Yancey and Odo were going to go shopping, Elmo was going back to take care of the rice balls, and Qiao Xi was going to go back to rest, so the six of them divided into two teams and went about their own business.On the spaceship tomorrow morning, Qiao Xi has to go back and tidy up her things so that she can leave directly tomorrow.

In order to be able to bring rice balls, Thain paid for a pet ticket. Pets can stay in the cabin with their owners, but they must have a ticket to board the ship.

Early the next morning, the six of them went to the space station with the teacher leading the team, left Feng Zhuoxing by spaceship, and ended the trip to the seven-school competition.

When they return to Miffel Star, they don't need to go back to school right away, they can just go home to rest, and go to school again next Monday.

He Tian sent Qiao Xi to the door of the house and left.Qiao Xi went upstairs and opened the door, and the familiar smell of home came to her face, which was very warm.

"Are you back?" Hearing the sound, Rong Chun walked out of the room.

"Yeah." Qiao Xi locked the door, put on her slippers and walked into the living room.

"Is it going well?" Rong Chun asked while looking at Qiao Xi, and he was completely relieved to see that everything was normal.

"Well, how are you? Is the herbal medicine that the second brother gave you useful?" Qiao Xi asked.

"It's okay, this is slow work, let's soak for a while and see." Rong Chun said.

Qiao Xi nodded, looked around the house, and asked, "He went back?"

"Well, I left early this morning." Rong Chun also knew that Qiao Xi and Rong Shu didn't get along, but they both deliberately reduced the possibility of meeting each other, and they didn't know why.

Qiao Xi didn't say anything else, went into the room and started packing her luggage, returned the things she took out to everyone, and threw the dirty clothes into the washing machine for washing.

Rong Chun sat on his bed and told him about Mifeixing that Rong Su had brought.Qiao Xi listened without saying a word, most of it was an internal matter of the royal family, it didn't bother him, and he didn't participate in it.

After packing her luggage, Qiao Xi took a shower, and then went to the kitchen to make dinner.He Tian sent a message, asking him to go to Professor Lu Jia tomorrow to discuss the matter of weapons, Qiao Xi readily agreed that it is better to start this matter earlier.

After dinner, Qiao Xi received a communication request from her father. Rong Chun was washing the dishes. Qiao Xi quietly went back to the room and accepted the communication.

"I heard that you went to participate in the competition?" Rongbo's voice was still serious, "Are you injured?"

"No, I'm fine." Even if he didn't talk about it, Rong Chun and Rong Su would talk about it, so his father knew it, so he wasn't surprised.

"Is your study going well?" Rongbo asked again.

"It's all good. I'm going to try to make a mecha when I'm preparing for the winter vacation, so I can understand the process and steps." Qiao Xi said.

"Are you not coming back for the winter vacation?" Rongbo heard from Qiao Xi's words that she was not planning to come back.

"Well, I have to hurry up and study, so I won't go back." Anyway, there is no one in the castle who makes him have to go back. Besides, it is too dangerous to be a mecha on Miffy Star, even if it is the most inconspicuous housekeeping mecha. It doesn't work, it's better to stay here, he, a student of the manufacturing department, will not attract attention at all when making mechas.

Rongbo was silent for a while, then said, "Then you celebrate the New Year by yourself?"

"Yeah." It's not like he hasn't lived by himself anyway.

Rongbo was silent for a while, and then said: "We'll talk about this matter in due course."

Qiao Xi didn't make a sound, anyway, what he decided would not be changed.

"What did you gain from going to the competition this time?" Rongbo changed the subject.

Qiao Xi told him about the situation of the imperial military base, and these Rongbo knew more or less.

"Solo has only one planet, so it is definitely incomparable to an empire with many planets." Rongbo said objectively.

"Well, I understand." Instead of confronting the empire head-on, it's better to find a way.However, all galaxy countries will have hostility and alliances. This is the law of survival among countries, and it is also the law of human survival.The empire naturally also has enemies, and the reserve of so much military power is also to protect the security of the empire.

"Don't worry about this matter. I will pay attention to the military developments of the empire. If you are really interested in mechas, you should study hard. This is not something that can be learned overnight." In fact, on this point, Fusion Bo never worried.There is nothing Qiao Xi can't do, not to mention... Qiao Xi should be talented in this area.

"Yes." Qiao Xi responded.

Then the father and son had no more topics to talk about, and they were silent for about half a minute. Qiao Xi said, "If there is nothing else, I'll hang up first."

"Okay." Rongbo really had nothing else to say.

The two didn't say much, and cut off the communication respectively.

He Tian asked Qiao Xi to go to the research institute in the afternoon, so Qiao Xi didn't get up to eat until he woke up naturally, and he changed his clothes and went downstairs when He Tian sent a message.

After the two arrived at the laboratory, Lu Jia explained everything to the assistants this afternoon, then took the materials and took He Tian and Qiao Xi to his office.

Lu Jia's office is not big, and he is not here usually, at most he comes here to change his lab coat.There is no special decoration in the house, and it doesn't look very caring.

"Sit whatever you want." Lu Jia smiled and said to Qiao Xi: "I didn't see you last weekend, and I still feel quite uncomfortable."

Qiao Xi smiled lightly and said, "From then on, I will definitely report on time."

"Okay." After speaking, Lu Jia turned on the optical brain and called out several cold weapons for He Tian to choose.Of course, there is no need to give him an answer immediately, you can go back and think about it.He Tian took out the Nebula Mine to Professor Luke. These stones are not many in the wild, but they are very large in the office.Luke carefully inspected these ores, and they all seemed to be of good quality, and the specific ones still needed to be tested by machines.

While looking at the styles of these weapons, He Tian discussed with Qiao Xi.After reading everything, I picked out four or five models that felt good.

"What suggestion does Teacher Leonard have?" He Tian asked.He hasn't gone to Leonard's place since he came back, but he contacted him yesterday.

Lu Jia pulled out the pair of scimitars that Qiao Xi came up with, and said, "Leynard likes this, but you need some training to use it."

This scimitar was also among the weapons selected by He Tian, ​​and Qiao Xi's name was written under the picture.What Qiao Xi gave to Lu Jia was a text description. Lu Jia drew a rough picture based on the text. Having a picture is more convenient for selection, and the basic effect can also be seen.

He Tian didn't hesitate much, and said, "Then use a machete."

"Okay. Actually, I also think this is good." Luga smiled.

The type of weapon has been determined, and the style needs to be further discussed, but Nebula Mine has already determined its color tone and material, and the rest are small details.

After everything is negotiated, the machete enters the formal production process.Qiao Xi has to participate in the whole process, and has become more and more busy.In addition to reporting on time on weekends, I usually go to the research institute to work overtime after school, and sometimes even sleep there.

Rongbo was worried that Qiao Xi was tired at first, but after a while, seeing that Qiao Xi looked good and in a good mood, she didn't say anything.

Although He Tian was dissatisfied with the sharply reduced time spent together between the two, it was all for him after all, so he couldn't say anything.He didn't know anything about making weapons, so he could only watch Qiao Xi busy in silence.

More than a month has passed in a blink of an eye, and the machete has been formed, and it only needs to polish the details.Qiao Xi also heaved a sigh of relief. He did learn a lot this time, but before he had time to digest these things, the final exam came as scheduled...
