Mecha and Knife

How long does it take to get from Empire Star to Alien Star?

If there is no jump gate technology, it will take hundreds of thousands of years to cross the distance of tens of light years, no matter in terms of the speed of the spaceships of the Federation or the Empire. Even with faster aircraft, such as the Federation's individual starships, it would take nearly 100,000 years to cross without considering the energy and various materials required for manning.

This is a time far beyond the existence of human civilization and imperial civilization.

In the process of an intelligent civilization from being born to developing into an interstellar civilization, it will inevitably suffer from various world-killing disasters due to the environment of the universe. Larger giant meteorites. Examples include stellar storms that are difficult to detect in advance, or gamma-ray bursts produced by supernova explosions. For example, infectious and fatal diseases that cannot be cured by existing technology. Like running out of energy...

In addition to natural disasters, there are also man-made disasters, such as war.

All kinds of intelligent civilizations born in the universe, as long as they have wisdom, will inevitably have different individual and collective desires and conflicts of ideas just like human beings. These are the incentives for war. When it develops to a certain level, such as the mastery of nuclear weapons, the outbreak of an all-out war is very likely to lead to a catastrophe of the world.

How many years has it been since the birth of human civilization in the true sense to the present? After hundreds of thousands of years, will human civilization still exist?

If there is no technology of the jump gate, when the earliest exploration spacecraft of the empire finally came to the solar system after hundreds of thousands of years, it is possible that the azure planet where human beings live has become a dead planet like a foreign star. It's like the planets that the empire has discovered are not suitable for them to live on.

Or, human beings broke through the limits of science and technology time and time again, and arrived at the Empire Star after tens of thousands of years, only to find that the intelligent civilization of the Empire Star has returned to a very primitive and backward state because of repeated world-destroying wars. era.

At that time, the orangutans or monkeys on the empire planet are very likely to become the "protected animals" of the human federation or human empire.

The encounter between the Federation and the Empire is all because of the leap gate technology that should not have appeared on the Empire Star and was mastered to a certain extent by the Empire. And according to the information brought back by Li Zhengfan, the third civilization that actually developed the technology of the leap gate, and the wisdom civilization called the civilization of ruins by Emperor Wu III, also seems to have experienced a crisis of ethnic group destruction, perhaps only a short distance from it. Completely annihilated in the universe.

Therefore, the probability of encountering different civilizations in the universe is so low that it can be ignored, not only because of the vastness of the universe, but also because of the civilization itself, whether it can continue smoothly and successfully develop into an interstellar civilization.

The chances of meeting the Federation and the Empire are even lower. It is equivalent to calculating the last digit of pi, which is impossible based on human cognition, but theoretically possible—what if the world is designed?

And in the war between the Federation and the Empire, the probability of the strongest of the two civilizations meeting directly on the battlefield is even lower—when he and it each have a status that matches their strength.

But this kind of encounter is a kind of necessity.

It was as if a distance that would take hundreds of thousands of years to cross was crossed by Emperor Wu III within 20 minutes of federal standard time because of the existence of the leap gate technology.

Ji Xinghe's unstoppability, Aida Kang's cowardice before a fight, etc... just like the leap gate technology that should not be mastered by the empire, they have become the incentives to make the impossible possible.

Emperor Wu III, who was in the palace hall of Emperor Star Martial City of the Empire and was holding a grand court meeting, did not explain the situation to his courtiers, nor did he give any explanation. When it said "I'm coming" to Idacon, it got up and took off its gorgeous and bulky robe in public.

At the same time, the new generation of emperor armor standing solemnly behind the throne has been activated and opened the hatch of the cockpit by itself. Under the astonished eyes of the courtiers, Emperor Wudi III entered slowly, and controlled the mecha to leave the hall.

At the same time, the miniaturized jump gate device placed in the inner hall behind its throne has been activated. The jump coordinates are the No. 1 jump base of the empire on the alien planet, which is located at the corresponding jump base of the empire star. The jump gate of the jump base is also in the In the process of being activated and turned on. Within twenty minutes, it will be able to reach the jump area of ​​the No. 1 jump base.

At the same time, the orangutans and monkeys who were placed in the jump base of Alien 1 by the empire thought that their primary target was the command center of the jump base, and their secondary target was Ji Xinghe in the jump area, so they suddenly changed their direction of action.

It was as if Ji Xinghe had sensed that Emperor Wudi III was coming. Again, Ji Xinghe's primary and secondary goals are not what the orangutans and monkeys perceive.

The reason is not important, what is important is what the orangutans and monkeys in the command center of the jump base, in response to the arrival of Ji Xinghe, did on the last section of the path leading to the command center and the last section of the path leading to the transition area. All the preparations - including Aida Kang and Emperor Wudi III - became unimportant at this moment.

At least until Ji Xinghe returns to the path they fear and look forward to, these preparations are not important.

Aida Kang, who was rushing so fast, suddenly stopped.

It claims to be unparalleled in its ingenuity, and it asks its staff and the commanders of the base in the communication channel.

"Where do I go to stop Ji Xinghe?"

This is a question, and a difficult one to answer.

When the goal of the target is known, it is completely possible to reach the goal that the goal must reach first, and then complete the operation with the goal of interception. But when the target of the target cannot be determined, how can it be intercepted first?

"Oxygen supply chamber! Ji Xinghe's goal is our oxygen supply chamber!"

A staff monkey said nonsense that was not nonsense. It hit Ji Xinghe's goal, but it couldn't help Aidakang make a choice.

Adakon is well aware of the locations of all the oxygen supply tanks inside the base. Combined with the prompt information that appeared on the visual window of the mecha, it has already seen the oxygen supply tank in the direction of Ji Xinghe's advance at this time, and there are many travel route.

But the arrival time marked on these travel routes makes it possible to determine that Ji Xinghe will definitely arrive one step ahead of it.

Not only because Ji Xinghe was one step ahead, but also because Ji Xinghe was only wearing individual exoskeleton armor, and his body shape at this time was very flexible compared to him driving the emperor armor.

Not all places inside this jump base can allow Prince A and Emperor A with a height of about seven meters to pass quickly, especially those areas that need to be closely guarded. Considering that the Federation may invade, Of course, it is necessary to impose as many restrictions on the Federation's mechs as possible.

Although the empire is well aware that the Federation's individual exoskeleton armor technology is much stronger than them, but compared to the large mechs that can be stacked, the defense of normal individual exoskeleton armor is much worse.

The attack that Ji Xinghe encountered when passing through the five gates, replaced by an independent regiment with all members wearing individual exoskeleton armor, would have been impossible to withstand, let alone complete the breakthrough.

Therefore, there is actually only one choice that Adakon needs to make the most.

"General, your small mecha is not made of tungsten steel. We don't recommend you replace the emperor armor with a small mecha."

There are aides who are like roundworms in Aida Kang alone, and give suggestions that best suit Ada Kang's interests.

The empire also has individual exoskeleton armor, but they are all called small mechs. How could a top dignitary like Adacon not have its own top individual exoskeleton armor?

But because of the limited manufacturing process and materials, even Adakon does not have the kind that Ji Xinghe is wearing at this time. The main material is the individual exoskeleton armor made of tungsten steel and gold. Its individual exoskeleton armor is made of tungsten steel alloy.

Compared with the two, there are obviously obvious disadvantages. How dare Aida Kang, who was already obviously afraid of Ji Xinghe, change his armor at this time?

What if after it changed its armor, Ji Xinghe changed its direction again and ran over to snatch its emperor armor? Like, like before.

"Just destroying our oxygen supply tanks, Ji Xinghe can't capture our base, even if all the oxygen supply tanks are destroyed. We have all worn portable oxygen supply devices and entered a combat state..."

"But as for the energy furnace, if Ji Xinghe wants to accomplish his goal in this way, he will definitely destroy the energy furnace after destroying the oxygen supply chamber. Compared with the oxygen supply chamber, the energy furnace is the real key, and our base has a large number of Defensive equipment requires a constant supply of energy..."

"We can't stop Ji Xinghe, because we can't gather enough forces in a small area, and Ji Xinghe has too many targets, we can't deploy heavy troops that can stop Ji Xinghe at all oxygen supply warehouses and energy furnaces, There is no room for loss in ground warfare."

"Not only the oxygen supply chamber and energy furnace, but also our ammunition warehouse. What if Ji Xinghe also knows the location of our ammunition warehouse?"

"I don't think we need to defend, let Ji Xinghe in, and then we will take the initiative to detonate the energy furnace or oxygen supply chamber!"

In the situation where the great general Aidakang has not made a decision, the staff and the commanders who can speak must go through discussions if they want to come up with an effective response method.

However, while their discussions took some time, they finally came up with a plan that sounded crazy, but could be very effective.

Whether it is an energy furnace based on controllable nuclear fusion technology, or an oxygen supply chamber that continuously manufactures and preserves a large amount of pure oxygen, the empire has the means to detonate them as weapons.

The monkey staff who made the suggestion added in a cold voice: "If we don't blow it up ourselves, Ji Xinghe will also destroy the oxygen supply chamber, and Ji Xinghe's destruction method is likely not to cause a big explosion, because he is the strongest mechanic in the Federation. .Even if we actively detonate the immortal Ji Xinghe, it can also destroy the building structure in his area, and the road is gone. How can he continue to walk? As long as we can delay the time until His Majesty arrives, Ji Xinghe will be dead."

As soon as it finished speaking, Aida Kang made a very decisive decision.

"It exploded!"

"yes!"

The preparations for this order are not complicated. Although the other orangutans and monkeys other than Adakon do not know how Ji Xinghe determined the location of the oxygen supply chamber, this does not prevent them from being more familiar with the internal structure of the base— —Under the prompting and guidance of the intelligent system.

It is more familiar so it can be faster. The command center of the Imperial Jump Base, which has a perfect location, completed the detonation arrangement when Ji Xinghe quickly arrived at one of the twelve oxygen supply chambers of the Jump Base, as if he had the ability to see through.

——

Ji Xinghe's sudden change of direction was not because he sensed Aida Kang's interception and Emperor Wudi III was coming, but because his goal from the beginning was not the command center of the Empire's transition base.

What he wants is victory, and if he wants to win, he cannot rely on him alone.

Rushing to the command center of the jump base and destroying the enemy's command system with his own power, he can only deal with the newly built Empire No. 3 jump base without Adacon. Rush to the transition area of ​​the transition base and destroy all the transition-related devices with one's own power. It is also only applicable to the No. 3 transition base, not even the No. 2 transition base of Battle Scar Canyon, otherwise Ji Xinghe would not have left the alien world before. star.

So, how can we win?

Try to cause as much and more serious damage to the No. 1 jump base as possible, so that the resistance encountered by the federal forces that are launching a general offensive on the surface becomes smaller and weaker.

Since entering the interior of the jump base, the energy that has been continuously escaping, and all the information sent back before the complete loss of contact with Ji Xinghe, all adhere to this concept to help Ji Xinghe win. It can also be said that those energies Based on Ji Xinghe's will, in order to bring him victory, he upholds this concept.

Following those ventilation holes and lines, Ji Xinghe found the location of three oxygen supply chambers and one energy furnace while rushing to the command center.

It's like when he is fighting with the air control armor, he can see the enemy's mech's body and its maneuvers that are blocked by the enemy's mech's body.

Coupled with his intuition, he has a strong sense of crisis, how can he not change direction?

This is different from Ada Kang's state where it is difficult to sense the crisis at this time. If Ada Kang can know the "sense" of Ji Xinghe, he may understand the gap between it and Emperor Wu III and Ji Xinghe.

Although all three have the gift ability, there is an essential difference between the gift ability obtained through inheritance and the gift ability mastered by self-awakening-after Emperor Wudi III passed on the gift ability it inherited to Ada Kang , still has the gift ability, or the blood of God. It does not come from copying, because inheritance is like cutting, but self-awakening like Ji Xinghe.

Wearing individual exoskeleton armor and manipulating himself as a mecha, Ji Xinghe is really blocking the killing of orangutans and breaking walls in the Empire's leap base.

Those passage gates and isolation hatches that do not have the function of completely sealing them have been controlled and influenced by Ji Xinghe's ability to control the armor before Ji Xinghe got close to them, and then opened on their own.

Those orangutan soldiers who only have conventional weapons can't pose a threat to Ji Xinghe at all. On the contrary, once their weapons are seized by Ji Xinghe, just like what Ji Xinghe did in the Empire No. 3 jump base before, they can give them cause fatal injuries.

But this time, Ji Xinghe did not choose to use those weapons, even though those weapons could have higher killing efficiency than his close combat.

Because his goal is not to kill the enemy, but to pass quickly.

Therefore, facing the interception of the imperial forces that could not be avoided, or could not use the barrier-free space to pass quickly, he did not choose to fight with the goal of killing the enemy.

His choice is - hit!

Ji Xinghe, the 'mecha' wearing individual exoskeleton armor, regarded himself as a mecha, but at the same time did not regard himself as a mecha.

He regards himself as an arrow that cannot turn back after firing the bow, he regards himself as a cannonball that has no retreat after it is fired, and he regards himself as a knife that spares no effort to cut out.

The tungsten-golden light flickers fast and slow, looming in passage after passage. Every time it slows down, pieces of flesh and blood are knocked out. Every time it speeds up, those lucky blocking troops of the empire fall behind. .

On the supposedly smooth body, more and more muddy flesh was stained, as if it was done with a high-pressure spray gun, a brand-new, gradient paint—to deep red.

It is also like the sins that cannot be washed away, the engraved hatred, only destruction can end, and only after the end can a new life be gained in the destruction.

At this time, Ji Xinghe was in pain, but at the same time he was happy.

It is the body that suffers, and the mind that enjoys pleasure. The high-speed collisions again and again are like a patient in unbearable pain fighting for the ground with his head, or like a powerful beating when repairing a damaged mech. .

But not strong enough.

Ji Xinghe's speed was very fast, and the collision was very resolute, but the imperial orangutans standing in front of him were too weak, like a big soft bed, but what Ji Xinghe needed now was a steel plate.

The tungsten-gold and crimson light crashed into an oxygen supply chamber of the Empire 1 jump base, just like that, painfully and happily.

Before it could be destroyed, Aida Kang's voice sounded right here.

"burst!"
