Mecha and Knife

The name General Jia was chosen by Shen Mu, and has been unanimously recognized by those involved in the design and production.

The rank of the tenth ace mecha fighter in active service in the Federation is only a major, which is unacceptable to many people except Ji Xinghe.

Maybe it was to take care of this emotion, maybe it was because Ji Xinghe's meritorious service was finally counted, maybe it was because Wang Wei agreed and submitted the relevant application after hearing the name.

Before the formal construction of General A, Ji Xinghe's rank promotion order finally came down.

"Colonel Ji Xinghe, congratulations."

"Thanks."

The process was actually a bit cumbersome. Base No. 5 held a small ceremony for this, not to mention that along with the promotion order, there were also some documents for the promotion of authority, as well as the official establishment of the Xinghe team.

Ji Xinghe, who was promoted to colonel, currently has three management authorities.

One is the No. 66 machine repair area of ​​the No. 5 base, the other is the training area of ​​the No. 5 base (as an instructor), and the last and most important one is the management authority of the Xinghe team.

His identity is still the captain, the blind man and the cripple are the deputy captains, Chen Xun's position is the staff officer, and the others are mecha fighters, and only mecha fighters.

These functions have not changed much from before. The real change is the increase in the number of formal establishments.

Now there are 16 mech fighters in the Xinghe squad, and they can apply for 15 more mecha fighters to join. The total number of mecha fighters is 31. Strictly speaking, there are actually thirty, and the captain, Ji Xinghe, is not counted among them.

But there is still no staffing related to logistics support, such as the number of staff such as correspondents, mechanics, etc., or communication support vehicles, tanks, armored vehicles, etc., these Galaxy teams do not have.

"This is to ensure the high mobility of the Galaxy team."

Wang Wei explained to Ji Xinghe: "If those logistics systems are equipped, the mobility of the Xinghe team will decrease. The above means, turn your Xinghe team into a quick-response mech team, and wait until all of you are special-level. At that time, it is very likely that it will become the Xinghe Airborne Mecha Squad."

This is a very reasonable explanation, and it is also a big picture.

The people who participated in the award ceremony, such as Shen Mu and Su He, all sneered, while others felt that what Wang Wei said was justified.

Ji Xinghe nodded noncommittally, without making any comments, and the ceremony was quickly completed.

The only small episode was that Wang Wei, who was supposed to personally wear new badges, epaulettes, and military medals on Ji Xinghe, gave up this opportunity to Ji Rong Xinyue.

"Can I?"

"Of course." Wang Wei began to lie to the child: "Xinxin will be a general in the future, and his military rank may be higher than your grandfather's. Of course, you can wear a badge for your grandfather."

This sentence made Ji Xinghe frown slightly, but seeing that Ji Rong Xinyue smiled happily when he heard this, he didn't say anything.

Until now, he still hopes that when Ji Rong Xinyue grows up, he can be a lawyer, a doctor, or a painter.

Ji Rong Xinyue did not directly agree, but looked at Ji Xinghe expectantly.

Ji Xinghe squatted directly in front of Ji Rong Xinyue, showing a kind smile.

Ji Rong Xinyue carefully took over the badge, epaulette, and military medal, and began to replace it for Ji Xinghe with a serious expression. After the replacement, she carefully looked at it, corrected the position and angle, and finally smiled with satisfaction.

Then he remembered something, faced Ji Xinghe and stood at attention to salute.

This action made everyone around stand at attention and salute.

Ji Xinghe got up and returned the gift seriously.

The ceremony is over, everyone's life is back to busy again, and Ji Xinghe's life has temporarily returned to the state before he left the No. 5 base. Time to build his new mecha.

The rest of the schedule has not changed. When I go to the training area, I go to the training area. When I want to teach Ji Rong Xinyue and other children to practice, I teach them to practice. I will tell stories to Ji Rong Xinyue and other children before going to bed at night.

"We have verified that there is no problem with the design of the general armor, and it can be manufactured directly."

This is news from the Federal Academy of Sciences. After the dust storm is over, communication has been restored. Base No. 5 can get in touch with Azure Star through the Nantianmen space station. Can get corresponding technical support.

Moreover, this kind of technical support is very necessary. On an alien planet where materials are scarce, if a new mecha that consumes a lot of resources is defective in design, it will be a waste to build it, and it may endanger the life of Ji Xinghe .

Azure Star does not have this problem. They can use 3D printing technology to manufacture corresponding parts for real machine testing in a short period of time. Parts that cannot be formed with 3D printing technology can also be produced with the industrial capabilities of Azure Star. Complete customization in a short time.

The tests of the armor model were completed, and the Federal Academy of Sciences also improved some designs.

The corresponding resources were also transported to the fifth base.

All this is because Ji Xinghe's identity is different.

"Now I suddenly believe what the commander said. The Xinghe team has not been targeted. The higher-ups really want to turn the Xinghe team into a quick-response mecha team."

"I also believe that Lao Ji's contribution points have not been withheld. One hundred million plus one 12th-generation core engine is almost the same if you count the Lonely Brave."

Members of the general armor building team, some of the grievances that had arisen before dissipated. Shen Mu and Su He didn't say anything, while Ji Xinghe seemed to not care at all, and led the team to start the real manufacturing work of the general armor.

The first step is to melt down the Lonely Brave.

However, Ji Xinghe did not participate in this step, because it is not his major, he only understands a little bit in this area, and melting the Lonely Brave and then forging the main body of the general armor sounds very simple, but because of the characteristics of tungsten steel alloy , the required steps are actually very cumbersome.

Even if he went, he could only be a spectator by the side, and simply use the time to build other parts needed for the general armor.

Such as energy transmission plates, bearings, joints and so on.

It is shameful to waste time on alien planets. Even if it is to build mechas for himself, Ji Xinghe is not willing to waste time looking at some meaningless things. He believes in professionals such as Shen Mu.

Just the first step took four days. In the era when human beings were able to manufacture mechs and spaceships, it already showed the difficulty of this step.

"The defensive performance has decreased by 2.7%, and the performance in other aspects has not changed much. It is still a little bit interesting."

"It's already very good, thank you everyone."

Judging from the defensive power of tungsten steel alloy, this level of reduction is nothing. Ji Xinghe looked at the main body of the general who was transported to the machine repair area, and was satisfied.

There is no doubt about the human form, but there is no neck, the design of this point is the same as that of Xingyue in normal state.

However, Xingyue looked a little fat, while the general's armor could be described as muscular, like a magnified strong man Jackson.

"The current height is 5.6 meters. This height will basically not change. If the foot kit is used at that time, it may increase some height."

Shen Mu introduced from the side.

"Without the cockpit, core engine and other components, the weight of the empty general armor is only 3.2 tons. After all the components are installed, its weight will reach 5 tons, which is several hundred kilograms lighter than before."

"The custom-modified mecha that Colonel Han Li drove before weighs only 1.9 tons and is only 3.9 meters high. Compared with the general armor, it looks like a child's play. But Colonel Han Li is a child in front of you, haha Ha ha……"

After a few words of seriousness, Shen Mu became serious again.

"However, Colonel Han Li's exclusive customized mecha is already being built. When I communicated with the Academy of Sciences last time, they said that Colonel Han Li's new mecha is similar to yours, tall, big and heavy."

"Speaking of it, it's really like a reincarnation." Shen Mu sighed again: "The first mechas were all huge, some more than ten meters high, but after that they were made smaller and smaller, usually four meters to four meters tall. Between five meters. And now, it is starting to build between five and six meters, and I don’t know if I will build more than ten meters high mechas, or even higher.”

The problem of the height and weight of the mecha is actually a problem of technological development, and Ji Xinghe has no right to speak in this regard.

After the main body of the general armor is built, the remaining work is much simpler, nothing more than loading the built parts.

And in this process, Shen Mu kept expressing regret.

"The nuclear power reactor failed to apply. The Academy of Sciences said that it is not stable enough. The design of the general armor cannot bear the risk of mistakes. At present, only the mechas of five ace mecha fighters can use nuclear power reaction. Furnace, so, still have to be powered by nuclear fuel cells."

"In terms of battery life, if it is cruising speed, the general armor can run 1,500 kilometers, which is much improved than the previous Lonely Brave. However, if there is a nuclear power reactor, the battery life of the general armor can be increased to More than 10,000 kilometers, charging will be more convenient and faster."

"The energy shield generator failed to apply. The Academy of Sciences said that their experimental model exploded again, and it is still unusable for the time being. But it should be soon. They said that the previous test was very successful. If there is an energy shield generator , Lao Ji, if the empire bombards you with another hundred missiles, you don’t even need to hide.”

"In terms of light energy weapons, you can apply for one, but I have read the parameters provided by the Academy of Sciences. It is not as good as your tungsten steel gold spear, and it is not as good as Xingyue's four knives, so I don't want it."

"It's not that I want to save money for them, but that it will be very troublesome if the empire sees this thing. We have to give those orangutans a big surprise. When the power of light energy weapons increases in the future, one of yours will definitely be indispensable. , No, at least five pieces, one light energy gun, four lightsabers."

"Old Ji, why don't you ask me why it's a lightsaber instead of a lightsaber? Hehe...Light energy weapons can't be made into the shape of a knife for the time being. At present, they can only be straight beams of light, so they are lightsabers. If they can be made in the future Once the knife is shaped, I will definitely make four knives for you."

Shen Mu casually leaked many of the highest scientific and technological secrets of the Federation, which surprised Ji Xinghe, and finally couldn't help asking.

"Where did you get all this information?"

"From the Academy of Sciences, oh, I forgot to tell you."

Shen Mu laughed a few times, with a very smug expression on his face, as if he had been waiting for Ji Xinghe to ask this question for a long time.

"Old Ji, I have already received the notice of second study from the Academy of Sciences, do you know what this means?"

"What does it mean?"

"It means that as long as I go back and finish my advanced studies, you will call me Dr. Shen Mu in the future."

"That's it?"

"Of course it's more than that. Do you know the chances of people who go to the Academy of Sciences for a second study to become academicians?"

"How big is it?"

"35%, for every one hundred people who study in the Academy of Sciences for the second time, 35 of them will become academicians."

"Then when will you go back?"

"Er..." Shen Mu's excited and complacent expression suddenly collapsed: "You shouldn't ask like this."

"Then what should I ask?"

"You should say it's only 35%. Then I'll tell you that the probability of becoming an academician is 98% for a person at my age who is studying for the second time. Or, what's so great about it, you have a 35% chance of becoming an academician You can do it too, then I will tell you that among the 10,000 people who major in mechanical repair, there may not be one person who can go to the Academy of Sciences for further study, and I have already studied once before I graduated, and the people who have completed the second study are ten thousand. None of them."

Ji Xinghe did not cooperate with Shen Mu to come again, and repeated the question just now: "When will you go back?"

Shen Mu was silent for a moment.

"I'm not going back."

"You are so willful, does your family know?"

"Then do you know why I can get a second chance for further study?"

"Why?"

"because of you."

"..."

Shen Mu looked at Ji Xinghe, who had a slightly astonished expression, and said seriously: "For a long time, I have relied on my talent, which is what many people call a genius, and neglected hard work. You let me know, a person with talent , and a person who works harder than everyone else, what kind of light can shine."

His tone was serious, but his actions were dishonest. With his hands behind his back, he kept gesturing to Su He beside him, and Su He also helplessly focused the camera on Shen Mu.

Judging from the lens at this time, Ji Xinghe has also become the background board of Shenmu.

Shen Mu caught a glimpse of Su He's gesture in response, and continued speaking with eloquence and impassionedness.

"As bright as the galaxy, as dazzling as the sun, Ji Xinghe, you are the light on my life path, you let me put away my cynicism, you let me know the truth that with great power comes great responsibility. Therefore, I can't go back, I want to stay here, academician? If I can repair even one more mecha, I will be willing to give up the chance to become an academician."

Ji Xinghe was silent for a short while, and suddenly asked: "Have you finished?"

"It's over." Shen Mu frowned: "Old Ji, didn't you react at all?"

Ji Xinghe turned his head to look at Su He: "Is the filming over?"

Su He nodded awkwardly.

Shen Mu's expression also froze suddenly.

"After the filming is over, let's do things."

...
