Mecha and Knife

It was the first time that Ji Xinghe saw the Federation's spaceship with his own eyes. Before that, he had seen it on TV, in games, and on his mobile phone...

It is completely different from the shape of the spaceship in the sci-fi movie, and looks like a somewhat bloated airplane in shape. In fact, most of the Federation's spacecraft are upgraded space shuttles that need the help of recoverable rockets to ascend into space.

It is true that there are cars that can fly directly into space, and there are individual starships that can fly directly from the surface of the azure star to the front line of the alien star, but the load capacity of both space vehicles and individual starships is limited.

Just like climbing a mountain, it is impossible for ordinary people to climb to the top of the mountain with heavy burdens on their backs, but they can reach the highest peak in the world with light clothes. There is a huge difference in difficulty between sending two tons of objects into space and sending 20,000 tons of objects into space.

So in essence, the Federation's engine technology has not developed by leaps and bounds, but these have nothing to do with Ji Xinghe, as long as he can reach the front line of the alien star.

After successfully completing the physical examination and passing the exam, Ji Xinghe put on his spacesuit and entered the spaceship, and fixed himself on the cabin with safety buckles and seat belts. There are no seats, no hibernation pods in sci-fi movies, everything is simple, the purpose is to save resources, including the spacesuit on his body, which is not individually customized, but can be used repeatedly.

Ji Xinghe is not the only one in the cabin, there are many people who are going to the front line of the alien planet, and everyone is quiet in space suits. Because the space suit has a helmet, everyone can't see each other clearly, and all eyes are on a metal giant between them.

The height is 3.9 meters, and the whole body is made of metal, but it is not bloated. It is completely humanoid in structure, but it is a veritable weapon of war. There is a miniature missile launcher on one shoulder, a machine gun muzzle on one shoulder, metal thorns reflecting the cold light on the elbows and knees, a cutting machine-like structure on the back of one hand, and a similar structure on the back of the other hand. Knuckle structure.

The structure of these weapons is actually a bit simple, and it is not suitable for complex combat environments, but simplicity also means that it is not easy to break, and as long as it is not broken, you can continue to fight.

Compared with the various types of mechas of the Federation and the various modifications made by users according to their own usage habits, this brand new mecha looks inconspicuous, but it can still attract the attention of everyone in this cabin , not because these people have never seen a mecha, in fact many of them have piloted a mecha for training.

It was because 73 gold stars were sprayed on this mecha, which meant that the pilot of this mecha had destroyed 73 imperial mechas and was likely to become an ace mecha fighter.

There are not many levels of mech fighters in the Federation. Levels 3 and 2 can be obtained as long as they pass the relevant tests and assessments. Level 1 needs to defeat ten imperial mechas in actual combat, and special level needs to defeat 20 imperial mechas. And the ace needs to destroy a hundred imperial mechs.

It is very difficult to promote between super mecha fighters and ace mecha fighters. It is not because the Federation intends to make things difficult, but because after becoming an ace mecha fighter, they can have their own customized mechas in the true sense: use the most powerful mechs in the federation. Precious materials, jointly created by the top scientists in the entire Federation.

And under the ace mecha fighters, only super mecha fighters can use modified mechas, and under super mechas, only standard mechas can be used. It is not impossible to modify them, they can only modify them by themselves and cannot use the resources of the federation.

This is not unfair, but a reasonable allocation of resources to maximize the benefits of limited resources.

The gazes towards this mecha are almost full of reverence and envy, but Ji Xinghe's eyes are full of sadness. This is the first time he has seen this mecha, but it is not the first time he has seen this mecha. The mecha warrior who was in this mecha at that time.

Han Li, a newly promoted fighting hero of the Federation, a super mech fighter with the rank of major, and a classmate of his son Ji Chenxing, once defeated his son in the school fighting competition and won the first place. After graduation, he became his son's comrade in arms, because With outstanding achievements and commanding skills, he became his son's chief.

The last time Ji Chenxing fought was under the command of Han Li, so Ji Chenxing died.

If Ji Chenxing hadn't died at that time, he should be a special-level mecha fighter now, and he should be able to modify his own standard mecha, then the modification plans he designed for Ji Chenxing before, can he...

Ji Xinghe closed his eyes. He knew very well that the modification plan he designed would never be used by Ji Chenxing, because in the eyes of everyone, including himself, his modification plan was inferior to those of the professional scientists of the Federation. design.

It was as if he knew very well that Han Li could not be blamed for the relentless battle. Han Li was just executing the orders from his superiors, and he was just using the lives of himself and his comrades to hold the ground.

From a higher perspective, the sacrifice of Ji Chenxing and his other comrades-in-arms is of great significance. Han Li's command and personal battle are also flawless in hindsight. A mission accomplished, a victory to be celebrated and applauded.

However, the price of victory was the sacrifice of Ji Chenxing, and the outcome of the victory was that only Han Li survived.

The cabin shook, the launch vehicle had been successfully ignited, and the feeling of pushing the back when you slammed on the accelerator was multiplied by ten and appeared on Ji Xinghe. The space suit protected his body well, and the oxygen supply system inside the helmet made him He is not hypoxic.

With his eyes closed, Ji Xinghe's thoughts calmed down, and he entered a state of nothing outside his mind after eliminating all distracting thoughts. He was carefully feeling his body. He has been doing this for a while, because only by completely controlling himself Only with his own body can he exert the full capabilities of his body.

Under the spiritual will, the human body is the first-order machine, and the mecha is not.

This is what he once said to Ji Chenxing, but Ji Chenxing scoffed at it, because Ji Xinghe had never really piloted a mecha, and Ji Xinghe had only played the role of a mecha warrior in the game.

No matter how realistic the simulation is, the virtual game at the consciousness level is just a game. Otherwise, the fighting heroes of the Federation would not be people like Han Li, but those who live in the home of the Azure Star and hang out in the game world every day. Those anchors and professional players.

The feeling of weightlessness suddenly came, and a gentle voice sounded in the cabin, reminding the passengers in the cabin that they can take off their space suits and start moving freely. When the spaceship comes to the sky, they don't need the protection of the spacesuit. The bulky spacesuit will make their movement inconvenient. The next time they wear it is the time for the spaceship to land on the alien front.

With a click sound, the safety buckles and seat belts were released one after another. The passengers took off their spacesuits and fixed them in corresponding positions. However, they did not start to move freely, but continued to look at the space between the special plastic boxes. The mecha.

There was a louder clicking sound, the armor on the back of the mecha opened, and Han Li, wearing a special battle suit, floated out of the mecha. As a mech, he doesn't need the protection of a spacesuit, just like when he was fighting on a foreign planet.

After nodding to the reverent eyes around him, Han Li drifted to Ji Xinghe who was taking off his spacesuit. Compared with those young people, Ji Xinghe's movements were not only a little slow.

"Uncle Ji, I'll help you."

"Thanks, but no, I can do it."

Han Li didn't insist, but just watched quietly by the side.

Ji Xinghe took off his bulky space suit, and then began to move his body with one hand holding the seat belt. He had to hold the seat belt, otherwise he would float up. This is the first time Ji Xinghe has come to space to easily control the direction of the body's floating direction, or to be still or move.

"Chen Xing..." Han Li said with some difficulty, but he still said, "When he first came to space, he was just like you. He said you taught him."

The movements of Ji Xinghe's active body stagnated, and he remained silent.

"Actually, he remembers a lot of things you taught Chen Xing, but he doesn't want to admit it. He said...he doesn't want you to be too tired and worry too much."

Ji Xinghe remained silent, Han Li lowered his head and continued, as if explaining to Ji Chenxing.

"He said that you are old enough to look up information, read books, and play games, and all this is to learn knowledge that you don't need, and then teach it to him. But in fact... there is no need , because we have more professional guidance.”

In short, Han Li is saying that Ji Xinghe is worrying blindly, but this is not an insult or ridicule, but Han Li is laying the groundwork. He does not want Ji Xinghe to go to the dangerous alien front, even if Ji Xinghe's destination is Relatively safe base.

Although Ji Xinghe is not the kind of person who grows old, he is indeed old, so he understands.

"I know." Ji Xinghe looked at Han Li calmly and said firmly, "But from now on, all this knowledge is useful, isn't it?"

Han Li was silent, unable to say the foreshadowing words.
