Mecha and Knife

Although there are as many as 36 generations of standard mechas in the Federation, the core engine is only 12 generations. The 12th generation engine is the latest and strongest core engine of the Federation. Currently, it is only used by ace mecha pilots. Mechas, and the mechas of some super mech fighters can be replaced.

When Ji Xinghe designed the old man music before, because of its transformation function, Shen Mu said at that time that if there is no twelfth generation core engine, the old man music will never be truly built.

The most important part of the mecha is the core engine, and the worst part of Xingyue is also the core engine. It comes from an abandoned core engine of an imperial mech. After repairs, its performance parameters are only equivalent to the fifth generation that the Federation has long eliminated. core engine.

"Why not change it?" Su He was one step ahead of Ji Xinghe and said dissatisfiedly: "Single-handedly defeated nine imperial mechs, if there is no Lao Ji, I don't know that I will die... Cough, and Lao Ji is already dead now. He is a first-level mech fighter, and combined with the strength shown by Lao Ji and his capture on the battlefield, it is enough to replace it with a 12th-generation engine."

Shen Mu kicked the console next to him, and looked at the drone that automatically followed and flew beside Su He with a bang sound.

"Su He, I smashed your thing, and they replaced it."

"What's the matter with my drone, yes, I'm shooting a documentary for Lao Ji, and I know they don't want Lao Ji to participate in the war, but the problem is that this engine is going to be installed on the Xingyue. Lao Ji really wants It’s impossible to drive Xingyue when you go out to fight.”

Su He accidentally spoke the truth. In his and many people's opinion, even if Xingyue replaced the most advanced core engine, it would be difficult to display the true power of the engine. It's like installing the engine of a Formula 1 car on a van. A van is still a van, and it will never become a Formula car. At most, it just runs faster.

"That's what they said, and they also said that under such circumstances, giving Xingyue the twelfth-generation core engine to Lao Ji is a waste of resources, so they won't change it." Shen Mu looked at Ji Xinghe and said with some guilt: "Old Ji, my eloquence is not very good and I couldn't convince them. Wait for me for a while. I will bring Su He to discuss with them. Su Hekou is the best."

Su He was quite moved after hearing this sentence. His eloquence is actually very average, but he has a powerful sword. The eyes of 300 million people are focused on the camera equipment in his hand. Who would not give him a little bit of face.

"No need." Ji Xinghe stopped him: "The eleventh generation is the eleventh generation. What they said is actually quite right. The mechas of the super mecha fighters have not yet completed their refitting. It's a waste of resources. The performance of the eleventh-generation core engine is far beyond Xingyue."

As a mechanic, Shen Mu, who personally participated in the creation of Xingyue, did not agree with this reason: "Yes, Xingyue itself really cannot exert the performance of the core engine of the 12th generation, or even the 11th generation. But it also has an overclocking mode. Ah, without the 12th generation core engine, its overclocking mode can't get the most out of it."

"Let's choose the eleventh generation, and there are still some contribution points left to exchange for other parts." Ji Xinghe glanced at the sword and thought of Major Jackson, who had fought against him before: "I'm used to using two-handed swords. In the case of only one knife, I would like to add a shield, which is the alloy shield used by Jackson, do you think it is enough?"

Shen Mu thought for a while: "That's enough, I know Major Jackson's shield. The material of the shield itself is actually not expensive. What is more expensive is the micro-engine and vector injection device on it. In terms of what you captured on the battlefield this time, That's enough, and there's more."

"Okay, then I'll trouble you to run again."

"This is what I said, you are my master, if you have something to do, I should do it." Shen Mu who agreed with his mouth did not leave, but asked with some credit: "Master, do you want to do it?" Try Xingyue first, I didn’t find anyone to test the real machine after I worked overtime, so I’ll definitely leave it to you for the first time.”

"Okay, let's try."

Ji Xinghe nodded, and walked slowly behind Xingyue.

Su He dissuaded him from the side: "Do you want to wait a little longer, Lao Ji? It's the same if you try again in a few days, and it's not about replacing the main engine, just change it and try again."

Only then did Shen Mu remember that Ji Xinghe's body hadn't recovered yet, and he regretted a bit: "Then try again later, Master, I'll go to the logistics department first, you wait for me, don't do the real machine test, wait for me Come back."

While talking, Shen Mu turned around and ran away, as if he was afraid that Ji Xinghe would start the real machine test directly. This made Ji Xinghe a little ashamed, because his body had really recovered completely, and he hadn't lost his strength to the point where Shen Mu and Su He needed to help him up.

Lying is not good, but Ji Xinghe has reasons why he has to lie, and there are more than one. There was one reason that made him very anxious: Why did the Empire appear near Base No. 6 in the dust storm? With only thirty mechas, how did they cross multiple blockade lines unscathed?

Because of the dust storm, the communications of the No. 6 base were affected, almost losing contact with the outside world. However, the occasionally restored communication allowed the No. 6 base to confirm that the blockade did not find this complete formation of imperial mechs.

"Wait, old Ji, don't worry, haven't those imperial mechas been dealt with?" Su He said again: "It's been a day since you came back, and none of the mecha fighters who were investigating outside have been able to find the imperial mechs. , All the detection eyes have been repaired, and there is no discovery, we are very safe."

"kindness."

After Ji Xinghe responded, he turned around and came to the console, and then started to operate on the keyboard, and soon connected to Xingyue's built-in host through the cloud, and directly entered the background of Xingyue's intelligent assistance system.

Su He, who was watching beside him, was a little shocked when he saw the code like a scripture displayed on the holographic screen: "Old Ji, you can program."

"Yes." Ji Xinghe added: "I was born in 2022, not 2002 or 1992. I was born in an era when computers and smart devices had already spread to thousands of households. When I was in middle school, I took programming classes. It has become a compulsory subject, and the scores are counted in the high school entrance examination and the college entrance examination, why, did you not have programming classes when you were in school?"

"Um... Yes." Su He explained with some embarrassment: "But I am a liberal arts student. We have already divided arts and sciences in junior high school, so we have never learned programming."

Ji Xinghe nodded, and continued to operate on the keyboard. His programming level is actually not high, and his grades in the learning process are no different from those in Chinese, mathematics, chemistry, physics, eagle language and other subjects. Chinese is not biased.

Under normal circumstances, this knowledge will be forgotten bit by bit with the growth of age and the reasons that it will not be used in life, until you exclaim why the questions of primary school students are so difficult?

But Ji Xinghe can use it, and he is very good at intelligent assistance systems, because he is the best auto mechanic in Xinfengcheng. Cars in this era have intelligent driving systems, and they can only repair car hardware and do not understand related software. Teacher, not a qualified mech warrior...

Su He looked at Ji Xinghe whose fingers were typing afterimages on the projection keyboard, and really didn't understand why Ji Xinghe could know so many things, but he actually knew the answer. If someone can be like Ji Xinghe, sleep only four or five hours a day for more than 50 years, maintain a mental state and never stop learning, then he can also be as knowledgeable as Ji Xinghe.

Even if he is playing games, Ji Xinghe is not doing it for relaxation and entertainment, but for learning the relevant knowledge and experience of mech driving through games, and for having common topics with his son. What Su He really doesn't understand is: What is the reason that has created Ji Xinghe's character, and made Ji Xinghe have a self-control that is as strong as a machine. For more than fifty years, things that have been going on for more than 50 years, except breathing, eating, Besides drinking water, going to the toilet, and sleeping, how many people can persist?

After some operations, Ji Xinghe stopped, then walked behind Xingyue, and said softly, "Xingyue, open the cockpit."

With a clicking sound, Xingyue's cockpit opened automatically, revealing a slightly different structure from other mech cockpits. In addition to the necessary chair for sitting operation, which was complained by many people, there was a small chair beside it.

"Xingyue." Ji Xinghe said again: "Turn on the absolute defense mode."

The small chair that shouldn't appear in the cockpit was suddenly completely covered by the metal toy that started to change. Looking at its outline, it could just accommodate a six-year-old girl.

Su He suddenly understood why Ji Xinghe, who was good at using two knives, chose a shield. In a daze, he also understood the question he couldn't understand just now, why Ji Xinghe's self-control ability is so strong? At the beginning, it was because of personality and interest, and then because of responsibility.

It was the responsibility of being a father before, but now it is the responsibility of being a grandfather.
