Mecha and Knife

There is no twelfth-generation core engine in the No. 6 base, which is one of the reasons why Ji Xinghe was not able to replace it, but there is an eleventh-generation core engine. Since the twenty-seventh generation of federal-standard mechas, all mechas have been equipped with this engine as standard, and among the 50,000 mechas currently in service on alien planets, more than 20,000 are equipped with second-generation mechas. A new mecha of the seventeenth generation standard mecha.

The previous twenty-sixth-generation standard mechas are no longer produced, but they are still in use, just like many discontinued cars can still run around on the road. Lack of performance is a problem, but the bigger problem is that you can't afford to replace it, you can use it if you can, and you have to use it.

Some first-class mech fighters and super mecha fighters who are good at using the previous generation of mechas will also do some similar upgrades, such as replacing more advanced engines and supporting parts and so on. Only non-professional mecha fighters like Ji Xinghe who don't have their own mechas, or mecha fighters without their own mechas, can use their mechas every time they need to use them.

"I'm really a genius."

Shen Mu did not hesitate to praise himself, watching Xingyue who had replaced the core engine of the eleventh generation and shouted loudly: "I thought of this day when I designed this piece, let alone the eleventh generation core engine, Even if it is the twelfth-generation core engine, or the thirteenth-generation core engine that is under development, it can be replaced on Xingyue as long as it is used."

Ji Xinghe nodded in agreement: "Yes, you are a genius."

This is true, because although Xingyue's main design work was done by Ji Xinghe himself, Shen Mu's contribution in it is not weaker than Ji Xinghe's, especially the combination of the core engine, the mech's energy supply system, and the transmission system , basically all completed by Shen Mu alone, and Ji Xinghe can only be regarded as a helper among them. He put forward his request, and Shen Mu searched his brains to complete the design, and the cooperation between the two had a feeling of intimacy.

Su He, who was carrying Ji Rong Xinyue and the camera beside him, couldn't help admiring: "You two are geniuses, different geniuses."

"Hey hey..." Shen Mu laughed strangely happily, making Ji Rong Xinyue look at him with strange eyes, but he didn't notice, and continued to say proudly: "In the future, Lao Ji will become an ace mech fighter , I will apply to be the full-time mechanic of the old man, and we, the master and the apprentice, will unite with each other and take the gorilla head of the emperor."

Su He laughed and struck up: "When Lao Ji became an ace mecha fighter, did he still need you as his mechanic? He can also repair mechas himself. Speaking of all ace mecha fighters, including Many super mecha fighters like Major Han Li and Major Jackson, they don’t know how to repair mechas, do they?”

"Of course I need it. Lao Ji's physical fitness is not good. He has no strength after fighting. How can he repair the mecha? I don't need to fight, and I just help Lao Ji repair the mecha." Shen Mu glanced at Su He and nodded. Said: "That's right, they don't know how to repair mechas, or what they can fix are minor problems. Therefore, Lao Ji is the strongest mecha warrior among the mecha warriors, and the strongest mecha mechanic among the mecha warriors."

Su He's eyes lit up: "That's a good sentence, I'll edit it in."

"It's okay to edit it, but I said that if the old man is not physically fit, you have to cut it for me. I said that if I don't have to fight, I have to cut it."

"Why?"

"Because I am learning martial arts from Lao Ji. From now on, the whole Federation will know that I am Lao Ji's apprentice. If I say that my master is physically weak and that I can't fight, am I embarrassing my master?"

"Is it to embarrass yourself?"

"You don't care, besides, Xinxin will definitely be able to fight when he grows up. If I am not as good as Xinxin, a younger junior sister who can fight, it would be a shame. Brother Su, when you shoot and edit, you want to shape me into someone who can't fight. A peerless master who makes shots easily, do you understand what I mean?"

"This will be called Brother Su, won't you call me Old Su?"

"Brother Su, Brother Su, I will call you Brother Su from now on."

Amidst the laughter, Xingyue replaced the new engine and started the real machine test again. Because it is a non-mass-produced model, this kind of real machine test is destined to be carried out many times. Including the use of discarded parts from the No. 6 base warehouse before, the process of assembling the stars and moons after repairs is also necessary.

The design plan on the blueprint is always on the blueprint. The mecha is not a one-story house or a three-story building, but a skyscraper or a bridge across the sea. The demonstration work of the design plan may even take longer than the construction time.

The Xingyue assembled from discarded parts can be called the first generation of Xingyue, or it can also be called an experimental model. The main purpose is to test whether the design is reasonable and whether it can produce the desired effect after completion.

Facts have proved that the first-generation Xingyue, led by Ji Xinghe and Shen Mu, participated in the construction of more than 50% of the mechanics in the No. 6 base repair area. All are defective products, so the actual combat ability is not strong.

The actual machine test after the engine replacement was also carried out very smoothly, and the subsequent replacement and upgrading of other parts will be much simpler, and there is no need to conduct actual machine tests every time.

"Funds are limited, so we have to discuss where to start upgrading." Shen Mu said: "My suggestion is to start with the energy transmission board, old man, I believe in your ability to repair the energy transmission board, but after repairing these boards, it is really difficult to upgrade." It’s too thin, it can’t withstand the full-power burst of the eleventh generation engine, and the energy transmission plate is cracked, and the moon and stars will probably crack on the spot.”

"Can."

"Then there are nuclear fuel cells. Just like engines, different generations of nuclear fuel cells can provide different levels of energy. Xingyue focuses on battery life, so we can't use the nuclear fuel cells of the previous imperial mechs, which are also backward in the empire. "Shen Mu sighed: "If you have money, you can use a nuclear fusion reactor for a mecha. It's fine to use full power mode for a whole day without interruption."

"There will be in the future, there will always be."

"After the replacement of the core engine, energy transmission board, and nuclear fuel cell is completed, your money will be gone, old man."

"There's one more thing. The statistics of military exploits are almost finished."

"Then replace Xingyue's joints, and replace the joints of the half of the body first, because running and moving will cause great damage to the joints, and Xingyue's ability to move will be greatly enhanced after replacement."

"Okay, I'll go and ask how many contribution points I can get. If it's really not good, I won't be promoted to the rank, just contribution points."

"Yes, what's the use of military rank? If you want to be a second lieutenant, Lao Ji, you can apply for an independent operation section in the machine repair area, and then you can be promoted to second lieutenant after repairing 30 mechs. I'm about to be promoted to lieutenant now. "

During the conversation, Lieutenant Colonel Chen Xun came over, but it was a little different from the past where he would say everything face to face.

"Sergeant Ji Xinghe, shall we chat?"

"it is good."

"Reporter Suhe, please don't shoot this episode."

"Ah? But..." Su He was a little reluctant. He was afraid that Ji Xinghe would be bullied. Without 300 million viewers, how could Ji Xinghe bargain with his superiors?

"It's okay." Ji Xinghe patted Su He on the shoulder, and followed Lieutenant Colonel Chen Xun to an open area in the machine repair area. This is the area where tractors are parked, and there is no one around.

I don't know if it's an illusion, Ji Xinghe felt that when he and Chen Xun were the only ones facing each other, Chen Xun's perennially indifferent expression suddenly softened a little, but on the whole it was still expressionless, the difference might be the eyes.

"Well..." Lieutenant Colonel Chen Xun said after pondering for a moment: "You know, our superiors are not only soldiers, but also politicians."

Ji Xinghe sighed, he already understood a little after hearing this sentence, that was the last change he wanted to happen.
