"My dad's call sign used to be Mavericks, who used to be part of the 1O6th Combat Volley, the National Self-Government Defense Force of the New York Independent Free State. Words * love * first * hair "words * love * first * hair?.? The boy used the past tense of Chinese grammar too deliberately, according to the habits of his mother tongue.

Kara caught a glimpse of the terrifying-looking combat fighter behind her, with the word "Maverick" emblazoned on the pilot's name on the bezel of the cockpit. According to the boy's words, his father was the owner of the fighter, but he was not spared from the disaster on the east coast of the United States. Fortunately, my son escaped with the help of this highly automated active intelligence fighter.

"Then you can call the bull now." Falcon 2 slapped him on the shoulder, trying to relax the shy boy.

Unexpectedly, his round face turned even redder: "I still want to continue to call the calf." ”

"Come here, this is Carla Lutgrim, the Giantess of the Call Sign, the Commander of the Refugee Convoy." Falcon 2 pulled him. The boy's nervousness made the atmosphere too stiff. He turned to Carla and said, "This kid is the good news I brought and he wants to join us." ”

During the introduction, they saluted each other.

Kara looked into his eyes, which were unadulterated blue eyes, with a mixture of excitement and cowardice. She understood the feeling perfectly: the boy wanted to become an adult and carry on his father's business; But I am afraid that others will think that I am not qualified enough. This is an idea that any young newcomer will have, and not everyone will be able to make it through this stage lightly.

"You're coming from the 1o6th wing, what's your wing motto." Kara's face was stern, and she made a look of not liking children.

Falcon 2 was embarrassed.

He brought the kid back, apparently taking a fancy to his mastery of the Hundred Day Ghost fighter. But after all, this is a little boy who has never joined the army, has never been a soldier, and has not even done the most basic training, let alone said the motto of his father's wing. Falcon 2 was afraid that this would hurt the boy's pride.

The little boy looked nervous, overwhelmed by Kara's tall stature and momentum. Half a minute later, he plucked up his courage, puffed up his chest, and shouted with a clear eye: "The motto of the 1O6th Wing - always be ready to fight for the consolidation of freedom." ”

It sounded like a kitten screaming angrily, but Kara felt something.

She stood in front of each other and said in a military manner: "Always be ready to fight for the consolidation of freedom." You are fully qualified, welcome to join, henceforth your calling code will be Mavericks. ”

"Understood." He tilted his head and laughed again.

Carla is trying her best to restore the boy's self-confidence. After all, now that the war is tense and he has to leave, he has no time to slowly sharpen a tough guy, he has to get into the role quickly. Kara isn't opposed to more people joining the Rescuer Convoy, but what's so special about Maverick and why he's joining is good news, she looks to Falcon 2.

Falcon 2 was directing the ground crew to push the large platform ladder over and dock next to the boy's Centurion F-1V/F fighter jet, "Kara, you'd definitely want to see this." ”

She and the calf walked up the ladder, and the other mercenaries gathered curiously. The sound of thumping with both feet on a metal platform. In the middle of these steps, Kara had a bad feeling.

Falcon 2 was very excited: "Look at the whooping ghost system of this aircraft, it's very special, a brilliant idea, the central big 6 definitely didn't expect it." ”

Carla stood next to the cockpit of the fighter jet, and in front of her was clearly a test plane, and the wires of various colors were tangled and wandering on the cockpit wall, looking very messy. The end of the wire is a white box next to the ejection seat, which is connected to the main processor of the whooping ghost system and the interface of the driver's scalp system through guò thick cables at both ends. In other words, the strange device is connected in tandem between the whooping ghost and the driver, cutting off the connection between the two.

"Tell me about it." Falcon 2 beckons to the calf and points to the white boxed device.

"It's a repeater, a repeater with one-way screening of signals. The principle of it is...... "The calf is still a little timid, and his face is flushed.

"Speak it up and be direct, you're a soldier???.?. `”

"The repeater allows people to manipulate the Whooping Ghost without becoming its puppet." He suddenly screamed, and it seemed that he had plucked up his courage excessively and became a little uncomplacent, "This is the cooperation between my father's wing and my college, you know, Chuangpu asked my father's team to modify the civilian whooping ghost control system, but my father heard that this system was flawed, so he opened a relay device with my academy, and stuffed a one-way 'filter' between the system and the person, so that people's control signal can be channeled and controlled; The anti-erosion signal of the Whooping Ghost will be blocked, making it impossible to control humans. ”

"It's like a diode." Falcon 2 helped explain that he had wondered about his ability to control the Whoopers when he was saving the child, and after learning the truth, he realized that this was good news, and that the mercenaries could safely and boldly operate the civilian Whoopers system in the future, and the combat effectiveness of Baker Island would inevitably increase greatly.

"Not exactly diodes, let's put it that way. I brought a lot of them anyway," he gestured to the multiple luggage compartments carried by the fighter jet, which seemed to be stuffed quite a bit, "my graduation thesis is about it, and our college tried to build 33 of them, and some of them didn't work, so I brought the others out." Do you need it? Maverick took matters into his own hands and said to the other mercenaries, "There are a lot of them." ”

Kara felt that it was a little too sudden, and the Maverick's words and actions were really childlike. He just heard about such a thing, and he was going to let everyone start using it, which was really sloppy, how could unshaped test samples be scattered casually, and human life was a matter of heaven. "Wait, this repeater you mentioned still needs to be tested."

"No, there's no time, there's no time at all." The Maverick entered a very excited state of mind, "This is our academy, the 1o6th team has tried it, and they are all very good products." If it's not enough, I'll go back to Qianmei, you help me go back, as long as the academy's real room is still there, we can make more Hundred Day Ghost repeaters. I see that you have civilian Hundred Day Ghost fighters, but you don't dare to use them, so they are all placed over there," he pointed to the tarmac in the distance, "Well, now that at least the repeaters I brought will come in handy." You can all use it, just use it......"

Maverick said as he stepped down the ladder to retrieve the test repeater stored in the luggage pod.

He spun around in a frenzy and nearly hit Kara in the chest.

At this moment, the calf was stunned, his expression seemed to be suddenly startled, his whole face tensed, and his jaw was about to fall.

Yes, he realized that he had lost his temper. Talking too much, too full, I don't care what the people next to me think. He stood still in a daze, as if he had been hit by some heavy blow and his spirit had completely collapsed.

His eyes were dazed and stunned, and the calf began to think back to the stupid things he had said, speculating about what others would think of him. These uncles will think that they are a big fool and brag about themselves. They laugh at themselves, they feel pitiful and stupid, they feel like they don't understand the world. The fuse on his nerves was completely broken: "It's really hateful, why do the people next to me look at me like that, are they watching monsters." ”

The pressure of the crowd made him unable to raise his head, the calf lowered his head, his fists clenched, he looked at the ground, didn't care about anything, and suddenly cried bitterly: "I said it a long time ago, I said it a long time ago that I can't do it...... As I said, if you can't do it, you can't do it. He muttered and sobbed. He raised his sleeves again and wiped his face vigorously, the floor was full of dripping tears, "Why let me do it, I can't do it at all, it's not something I can do." You better wait for my dad to come, my dad said, he'll be back. ”

He was helpless, and it was pitch black before him.

It was then that the calf felt someone hug him. It made him cry even more: "My dad said he would definitely come back." He took me into the cockpit and said that the Whoopers could protect me, and as long as I stayed in the Whoopers system, I would be fine. He really just left for a while. My dad was true to his word, and he kept all his promises. He said he would keep the whole team safe, and he said he would make the centurion our protector. He also said that if he couldn't come back, he would let the Hundred Days take me away; If he doesn't come back, I'll have to bring these things to the outside so that more people can use them, and let the whooping ghost become our protector. ”

Maverick was already incoherent, "But I said no, I can't do it." But he said he would definitely come back, and he never broke his word......"

"But, Maverick, you did, didn't you. You were brave, you managed to bring the repeater out, you did it. ”

This sentence is like the care of an angel for him. But he could not lift his head until a pair of warm hands lifted his face full of tears and snot, and the calf stopped crying a little. He looked at the woman in front of him, it was the tall sister with a majestic face and an inviolable face, Carla Lutgrin just now.

She looked at the calf, and some kind of strange love also came out in Kara's heart: "Stand up." She helped the boy straighten his crumpled sleeves and wipe his face clean, "You did it, this step is the most important thing, Maverick, you've taken the first step." But the rest depends on whether you're a real man. When you take a step, you must insist on finishing it, and everything must start and finish well. You brought out the repeater that your father gave you, but his mission is not yet complete, and he doesn't want you to leave the repeater in the plane. Your father wants to accomplish this task, and he never breaks his word, right? ”

Maverick nodded.

"You're going to inherit his promise, just like you can inherit the wing's motto. Maverick, here you are, your own master, in charge of yourself. Are you going to continue to take on this responsibility? ”

He hesitated, then nodded firmly, solemnly.

Carla patted him.

But those mercenaries didn't bother to care about others, they were the tough guys who really broke back from life and death, and now this boy is the best material for fun, "I don't need that thing." "Who's going to use something that gets angry?" "He can use it himself, I won't touch the Hundred Day Ghost, who said I won't touch it." "What a broken repeater, his father is very remarkable." "His father must be dead, and he may not have run away."

Kara dispersed the crowd, and when she saw that there were grasshoppers among the onlookers, she called him over and asked them to take the calf to wash and make a bed for him. After all, it was best for the children to be together, and the hammer also came, and a few of them talked and ran towards the airport tower.

Falcon 2 walked over: "Anyway, we can use the repeater he brought to maneuver the few Centouliers left on Baker Island, and the combat index will increase several times." We can do better, and even go back to the former United States. This is a sign of our counterattack. He's my good news. ”

"I'm not sure it's good news yet." Kara looked at the group of boys in the distance.

"Why?"

The child's father said...... Let the Whooping Oni be our protector. She shook her head and pressed her hand to her temple, "I have a bad feeling, but I can't tell." ”
