Mecha Journey

In 2337 of the lunar calendar, the jump wormhole built by humans on the edge of Jupiter was successful for the first time. Human civilization successfully broke through the constraints of the solar system, and interstellar exploration of the Milky Way began.

…

In the year 2508 of the lunar calendar, mankind conducted in-depth exploration of the Milky Way over a period of 170 years. Most of the Milky Way was quickly divided up by various former Earth countries. As a result, the industrial science and technology of various countries have developed rapidly, and the sixth scientific and technological revolution known as the "Interstellar Revolution" has arrived. In order to obtain more resources and starry sky territory, various countries have begun to form interstellar exploration teams to explore the surrounding galaxies.

…

In the year 2540 of the lunar calendar, due to the uneven distribution of resource stars and habitable stars in the galaxy, the economies of various countries were in turmoil. An internal war first broke out in the Chaosan Interstellar Republic, which was later suppressed by the major domestic warlords. However, the conflicts were not resolved. Instead, they quickly intensified. The Chaos-Sang Republic decided to transfer the conflicts outside its borders, and wars broke out in neighboring planetary countries in an instant. Just one year later, it swept all interstellar countries, and finally evolved into an interstellar war, known in history as the "Galaxy War".

…

In the year 2560 of the lunar calendar, the war lasted for twenty years. With the efforts of the "Anti-War Alliance", various countries signed armistice agreements one after another. However, the changes brought about by successive years of war are irreversible. Before the war, nearly two hundred interstellar countries were annexed by various powerful countries, leaving only less than thirty interstellar countries. Among them, the Pan-Asian United Republic (PAJR) The three major political entities, mainly "Pan American Alliance (PAA)" and "Ogaro Star Alliance (OSA)", occupy 60% of the star area of ​​the Milky Way, and the remaining 30% is occupied by various small countries and other small alliances, about 10% of the star field is still under exploration. And in that year, the newly formed countries issued a joint statement to change the year 2560 of the Old Calendar to the Galaxy Calendar, which was historically known as the first year of the Galaxy Calendar.

…

The interstellar era has thus entered a period of stable development...

In the 27th year of the Galactic Era, Planet Aquamarine was discovered by the interstellar expedition team organized by PAJR. Its good habitable environment immediately made it a super habitable star.

In the 50th year of the Galactic Calendar, under the instruction of the Republic Council, an area of ​​16,000 light-years in diameter centered on Aquamarine Star was divided into a new star field under PAJR, called the New Star Field, and the administrative star in the star field was Aquamarine. star.

…

Yang Mu, who had sneaked into the utility room in the backyard early in the morning, was sitting in front of the workbench, carefully flipping through the encyclopedia knowledge with his watch, looking for the timeline of every time he knew in this time and space.

Everything is normal, all the major events that happened in the past can be accounted for correctly, even the top scorer in Hailan City's college entrance examination last year was correct.

In other words, I am still in the same space, but I have jumped forward twenty years on the timeline.

Everything in this time and space is normal now. If there is something abnormal, it is the memory of thirty-seven years old that I have, and the "annihilation" lying in the subspace necklace.

All of this really cannot be explained by science...

Yang Mu scratched his head and was thinking hard, when there was a sudden knock on the small door of the utility room.

"Brother, let's go out to eat."

"Come out quickly, mom has made delicious Yaohe beef noodles."

Two childish voices sounded outside the door. The depressed expression on Yang Mu's face disappeared instantly. He twisted the necklace, and a blue light spilled out, taking back the "Annihilation" placed on the ground. Then the door opened.

"Brother, what are you doing in there? You haven't replied to me for a long time." Outside the door, two little boys aged seven or eight were looking at Yang Mu with their big, watery eyes. The older Lei Ming was asking. The younger Lei Hong looked at the scene in the utility room with his eyes rolling.

"Okay, okay, here we go."

Yang Mu gently twisted the bodies of the two little boys and pushed them to have breakfast together. At this moment, the watch on the workbench buzzed.

"The fat man is calling, the fat man is calling, the fat man is calling..."

Yang Mu, who had just left the garage, had to stop and urged Lei Ming and Lei Hong to eat first, while he walked back to the workbench and picked up his watch.

He looked at the incoming video call from Jia Hao on his watch and clicked to answer it.

Jia Hao is Yang Mu's childhood friend. They had been playing naked together since they were children. His parents opened a roast duck restaurant on a commercial street not far from here, and the business was booming.

Perhaps because of being the only son in the family, Jia Hao has been a little fatter than his peers since he was a child. Now at the age of seventeen or eighteen, his weight has easily exceeded two hundred pounds.

Every time I think about this guy's figure, it's a bunch of organic matter that moves quickly when he moves around...

"Boss, morning." A boy with a round face wearing a wide striped shirt appeared on the screen projected by the watch. He was chewing something and said to Yang Mu.

Yang Mu glanced at it and asked as he walked with his watch: "Morning, fat man, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, I just want to remind you about the mecha exhibition this afternoon, don't forget it." Jia Hao took a sip of milk, said this, and then continued to frantically attack the roast duck in front of him.

Roast duck in the morning is the only one in his family...

"Mecha exhibition? What kind of mecha exhibition?" Yang Mu was stunned for a moment and asked a little strangely.

On the other side of the screen, Jia Hao, who was munching, stopped, coughed twice, and said to Yang Mu with a confused look on his face.

"Holy shit, boss, there's a traveling mecha exhibition at the Hailan Science and Technology Museum this afternoon. You said you were going to this the day before yesterday. Why did you forget?!"

"Duolun has prepared all the visiting tickets!"

"Oh, I thought you were talking about something, I know, I haven't forgotten it!" Yang Mu didn't expect that he almost exposed his secret, and hurriedly replied vaguely.

The fat man opposite heard Yang Mu's vague answer and didn't think much about it. He just glanced at the old man selling roast duck in the shop window and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that he didn't pay attention to him.

This visit to the mecha exhibition was the best excuse to avoid working hard at home on Sunday to write test papers. Yesterday, I spent more than half an hour talking to get my father to agree, so I couldn't let it go to waste.

"Okay, I'm having breakfast. We'll meet at the entrance of the Science and Technology Museum at one o'clock in the afternoon. Don't forget to call Duolun." Yang Mu walked to the restaurant and sat down, and said to Jia Hao.

Yang Mu couldn't talk too much now or say anything he didn't know. Although he said that Jia Hao and the others would not doubt whether he was himself or not, it was still a bit bad.

For example, about going to the mecha exhibition, I don't have the slightest impression in my mind. But now that it had been fooled, Yang Mu immediately made a note of it in his mind.

"Don't worry, we can't forget this. We still have to rely on him for our visit tickets. See you at the Science and Technology Museum in the afternoon." Jia Hao on the opposite side said happily, and then hung up the video.

"Going out for a walk with Xiao Hao in the afternoon?" Yang Mu just put the watch on the table. Mother Yang, who was putting the soup bowl for Lei Ming, raised her head and asked. Yang Mu nodded and said "hmm", sat down in his seat, picked up the Chopsticks ready to eat noodles.

Logically speaking, since I have finally reunited with my family at this time, I will always have endless things to say with my family. But for some reason, when they met this morning and looked at his mother's much younger face, an inexplicable strange feeling came to Yang Mu's heart, but he couldn't say anything.

Yang Mu also felt this way before. When he was training away from home, he would feel particularly homesick, especially a day or two before returning home. He wished he could fly home immediately and say "I'm back!", but waiting for the door to open. At that moment, nothing could be said.

Regarding this situation, Yang Mu could only regard it as his own fault. Maybe it would be better after two or three days.

"I want to go out for a walk. Xiao Mu, you are under a lot of pressure in your senior year of high school now. When you have free time, you should relax and relieve your tension." At this time, the middle-aged man sitting in the main seat spoke, but his eyes were Staring at the news playing on the suspended TV.

"This morning, Aquamarine CEO Zheng Hai will meet with Ogaro Alliance Economic and Foreign Minister James in Aquamarine City to discuss matters related to the mining of titanium resources on the TC221 planet..."

This man's name is Lei Shangwu, Yang's mother's husband and Yang Mu's stepfather.

He was originally the deputy commander of Yang Mu's father. During the Star Thieves War, when the reinforcements led by Lei Shangwu rushed to Yang Li's side, Yang Li was already dying due to serious injuries. When he was dying, his father asked Lei Shangwu for help.

It was that time that Tuogu gave Yang Mutuo a new father two years later. After that, he had two younger brothers, Lei Ming and Lei Hong.

Although the family was reorganized, Yang Mu did not exclude the other party too much. However, Yang Mu has always stubbornly believed that the word "father" belongs only to his father, Yang Li.

So over the years, Yang Mu has always called Lei Shangwu Uncle Lei. Even after the Zerg war started, it was the same when he and Uncle Lei met for the last time.

"Uncle Lei, lend me the utility room later to assemble something." Yang Mu asked Lei Shangwu while eating noodles.

"Okay, but you should pay more attention to safety when making those gadgets yourself." Lei Shangwu had long known that Yang Mu liked to tinker with small things, so he didn't care about such a request and quickly plucked the noodles in the bowl.

"Youhua, we are doing outsourced maintenance in the store today, and we will have lunch at the customer's place. You don't have to wait for me then." Putting down the bowl, Lei Shangwu glanced at his watch, said to Mother Yang, got up and went to pack things and get ready. Go to the store.

When Yang Mu was about to go to high school at the age of fourteen, Lei Shangwu retired from the army, gathered a group of retired comrades, and opened a machine repair shop on a street in Hailan City.

After a few years, the business has been pretty good. It can at least allow the family to live in this duplex building in a prosperous area, allowing the family to live a prosperous life, and also allowing Yang Mu to have 800 Yanhuang Yuan in pocket money every month.

"Okay, pay attention to safety." Yang's mother, Nangong Youhua, also stood up and helped Lei Shangwu pack the things he needed to bring, and then urged Lei Ming and Lei Hong, who were still playing with noodles, to eat quickly.

"Be safe." Yang Mu also said, stood up and put the bowl in the dishwasher in the kitchen, then picked up his watch and walked to the utility room just now.

"You two hurry up and eat! We have to go to the Children's Palace later, and I have to buy groceries."

"Youhua, I'm leaving."

"Okay, be safe on the road."

Listening to the sounds coming from the living room and the front yard, Yang Mu smiled knowingly and opened the small door of the backyard utility room.

It has been a long time since I participated in such a warm scene.

…

Yang Mu came to the garage and locked the door, took out the necklace from his trouser pocket, and took out "Annihilation" from it.

This black mecha with smooth lines and a height of nearly seven meters was lying on the floor of the garage under the designated placement of the necklace. The back of the mecha was facing upwards, and the ferocious and twisted parts that sprouted irregularly on it were showing that it had suffered What a heavy blow.

In the early morning, Yang Mu had already started up the mecha and checked it. The armor on the back of the mecha was almost completely damaged, and only the auxiliary thrusters on the limbs were functioning at the jet port. The main thruster and weapon rack were completely scrapped. However, its built-in energy battery is still intact, and the two titanium alloy steel knives held in the hand are also intact.

In general, the external protective armor has suffered a lot, but the internal control compartment is intact and the somatosensory operating system can operate normally.

But the problem now is that it is almost impossible for him to repair this mecha.

It's not because of insufficient maintenance knowledge. After more than ten years of mecha operation, Yang Mu already knew a thing or two about various maintenance of his own mecha.

However, it is difficult to make a meal without rice. As the first batch of elite mechas to be customized, "Annihilation" was the first batch of tailor-made elite mechas at that time. Almost all the materials used on it were top-notch and difficult to copy.

For example, the full-body armor of "Annihilation" is made of super-tempered titanium-chromium alloy, which is also lined with polymer fiber materials, so that it has the hardness of metal but also has super toughness, which can assist the machine. A completes some difficult actions during combat.

And in order to enhance its impact resistance, the surface of the armor is made into a bevel design, so that it can better block large-caliber bullets and even deflect attacks from artillery shells.

Or the two titanium alloy knives of "Annihilation" have a higher hardness and extremely rare "Yi Iron" material added to their blades using cold forging techniques, allowing them to easily cut through a one-meter-thick steel plate. When the double sword is powered on, the current can make it more terrifyingly lethal.

However, these materials are either confidential or have not been discovered yet. It is simply a fantasy for me, an ordinary high school student, to obtain these materials!

Thinking of this, Yang Mu also sighed, feeling quite helpless about the situation in front of him. Who allowed himself to be reborn twenty years ago? If he had been reborn ten years ago, with his status at that time, he might have been able to repair "Annihilation" to some extent.

But you can't just let it go. If you don't cherish the materials now, it might as well get some ordinary materials to fill it up. At least you will have a back-up in your hands.

With this in mind, Yang Mu picked up a wrench on the shelf and prepared to remove the broken back armor of the mecha.

Just when the socket wrench in Yang Mu's hand was tightening the self-tightening screw on the back armor, something incredible happened. The wrench in Yang Mu's hand suddenly became red and hot, making him unable to hold it.

Yang Mu quickly let go of his hand and saw that the socket wrench had begun to soften gradually. After half a minute, it turned into a puddle of liquid and melted into the mecha!

That's right, it just melted into the mecha, as if the back armor had come to life, swallowing it up.

This is simply a fantasy! !

Yang Mu watched all this happening in disbelief. Even after discovering that he was reborn, he had never been so surprised, no, he was horrified!

Will the mecha swallow materials? !

The mecha...is alive? ! !

Yang Mu hurriedly picked up another wrench and watched the mecha on the ground, but after waiting for a while, he didn't see any movement from the mecha.

Just when Yang Mu felt strange, he saw a different phenomenon.

A piece of white metal the size of half a fingernail grew out of a gap in the mecha's back. It looked particularly eye-catching under the dark armor.

Yang Mu carefully stepped forward to check, and sure enough, there was a little extra metal on the corner of the broken back armor, which was growing together with the original back armor.

Does this thing need a wrench?

Then it will grow? !

This ridiculous idea suddenly popped into Yang Mu's mind.

etc!

Yang Mu suddenly thought of something, walked to the workbench, opened his watch and looked up information.

"The material composition of an ordinary wrench..."

Looking at the description on the web encyclopedia, Yang Mu's eyes lit up.

It is mentioned above that the materials used in ordinary wrenches are mostly chromium vanadium steel and carbon steel, and the components of my mecha's back include chromium and iron!

In other words, your mecha will absorb the material in the metal and use it to repair its own gaps!

With this conclusion, Yang Mu threw the other wrench in his hand on the broken back armor. Sure enough, after a few seconds, the wrench turned red, then began to soften, turning into a pile of liquid, and was finally absorbed by the mecha without a trace. And on the corner of the carapace, the white spot is a little bigger.

Sure enough, "Annihilation" is no longer what it was before. Here, it has mutated and has an incredible ability - absorbing materials.
