There is no trauma that cannot be healed by the passage of time, and although there is still a strong longing for the deceased loved ones in people's hearts, that emotion has also been slowly diluted in the tide of Ayastar's revival.

The streets of the fields are still full of friendly smiles.

This is a strong nation.

A military land truck slowly parked in the parking space in front of Aya Academy, and the jet engine supported the body and slowly descended, as if it had landed on a sponge, without making the slightest sound.

A tall young man got out of the car, the contours of his face had begun to take shape, his sword eyebrows were sharp, his eyes were clear, and the black hair on the top of his head should have been taken care of just now, and the jet black oil was leaning on one side, giving him a mature taste.

This is the second time that Zhang Ergou has faced the gate of Aya Academy, and the solemnity and sacredness that comes to his face still linger in his heart.

But what he was going to do today was much more important to him than admiring Aya.

That's right, he is coming to Zhang Jianlong.

It was originally a happy event for grandparents and grandchildren to recognize each other, but in Zhang Ergou's heart, he couldn't face it for a long time. It dragged on and on, until now after the war.

Too many mysteries shrouded in Zhang Ergou's heart, whether it was the picture of a fierce quarrel in the research room that occasionally appeared in his mind, or the strange light in his body, Zhang Feng took him to live in seclusion away from the academy, and there was a complex relationship that Zhang Ergou couldn't explain, what was his life experience? What kind of man was his grandfather? He came here today determined to find an answer.

"Major, thank you for driving me over, drive slower on the way back!"

The window was lowered, and a familiar face appeared, which turned out to be Liu Bishan, a legendary figure codenamed Siberian Wolf. He raised his chin and smiled, "Ah, boy, everyone is waiting for you to come back, you better hurry, if you miss tonight's game, you will regret it!" ”

"Roger!" Zhang Ergou saluted, put his palm on the side of his ear, and raised a handsome arc upward.

Liu Bishan laughed, responded to his military salute cordially, and then drove away, leaving Zhang Ergou in place.

Zhang Ergou took a deep breath with apprehension, and then strode towards Aya Academy.

As before, it was full of all kinds of people, Zhang Ergou walked straight towards the tallest building of the college, which was a Gothic-style arrow tower, but it was also full of transparent and majestic modern architectural style, and it was worth mentioning that the monumental bell was on the roof of this building.

"Hello, I'm looking for the dean, and I've already made an appointment."

"Okay, please come with me."

It speaks as a humanoid robot, and only the upper body is humanoid and sweet-looking, but the lower body is replaced by wheels.

I don't know who has such a bad taste, with such a beautiful girl's face, but pressed a wheel, it's really inexplicable. Zhang Ergou complained in his heart, the two of them had already boarded the elevator, and the transparent glass elevator could enjoy the whole picture of Aya, which looked very spectacular.

"Can I tell you a little bit about this?" The robot beauty asked very politely.

Zhang Ergou shook his head and said, "Don't bother." ”

The robot didn't pay attention to Zhang Ergou's answer and said to himself: "The overall area of Aya College is 11,854 hectares, which is divided into eight areas, namely the teaching area, the experimental area, the scientific research area, the dining area, and the exercise area..."

Zhang Ergou pouted and whispered, "I'm afraid this robot is a fool, right?" ”

"Do you know what area you're in right now is called?" The machine beauty asked Zhang Ergou in a sweet voice.

"I don't know."

"You're afraid you're a fool..."

Zhang Ergou: "·····"

After stepping out of the elevator and leading Zhang Ergou into an office, the robot left.

This is a top-floor office, all surrounded by translucent glass material, which looks exquisite, and the office utensils are also simple, looking very simple and generous, which is pleasing to the eye - until Zhang Ergou saw the person on the chair with his back to him looking at the scenery of Aya Academy, Ergou's hanging heart was raised again.

He didn't even know how to open his mouth to call that person, was it grandpa? Still is?

"Huh? You're here! The old man turned around, and Zhang Ergou saw the kind face and the silver hair.

"Come and sit, come and sit, you're thirsty, drink some tea first, the tea I just brewed!"

The old man looked very excited, and his hand holding the cup was trembling slightly.

The turquoise tea leaves were churning back and forth in the cup, and Zhang Ergou sat on the chair facing Zhang Jianlong, speechless for a while.

"You..."

"I..."

It seems that the situation of the grandfather and grandson is the same, the two of them spoke at the same time, perhaps they both noticed each other's crampedness, first Zhang Jianlong laughed heartily, and then Zhang Ergou also laughed embarrassedly.

He found that the old man had a great affinity for him, and he laughed very kindly, as if the laughter had echoed in his memory for years, and his heart was warm and incomparably kind.

Zhang Jianlong didn't beat around the bush, and said again: "It's been a hard time for more than ten years." ”

"No, I sometimes didn't have enough to eat in the first two years, but now I can work part-time, and when I worked in a restaurant before the war, I could eat meat every day."

Zhang Ergou is not good at concealment, so he simply said like that.

After listening to Zhang Ergou's words, Zhang Jianlong was silent for a long time, his eyes were slightly moist, and after a while, he spoke: "Ergou, what are your plans for the future?" Is there anything you want to do. ”

Zhang Ergou said honestly: "Yes! I want to drive a mech! Want to join the Wolves to defend Clay!! ”

"Good! Good! Be ambitious! ”

Zhang Jianlong breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and seemed to be very worried about what Zhang Ergou would say about the civilian industry, and then he praised happily, he stood up and said to Ergou: "It's just right, let's talk while walking, and by the way, I will show you the gift I prepared for you." ”

"Hmm!"

Zhang Ergou followed behind Zhang Jianlong, and he always had something to say, but Zhang Jianlong didn't give him a chance, but asked him with concern. However, Zhang Ergou was not bored with this kind of conversation, it was the first time he felt that someone cared about him so much, and at the same time, he became more and more puzzled, why did his father take him away in the first place, or was it all just his own imagination and false speculation?

The two opened up the conversation box all the way, discussing almost everything except the topic about his father Zhang Feng. Both of them tacitly did not spoil the atmosphere.

Ergou thinks this feeling is so good, it's like a long-lost reunion between grandparents and grandchildren. Although he didn't say it, he wanted to call him grandpa. But before he knew the truth of the matter, he still deliberately kept a distance from Zhang Jianlong.

Zhang Jianlong probably also noticed it, and shook his head helplessly and sighed.

The two of them came to the inside of a facility similar to a scientific research laboratory, where people were coming and going, tightly wrapped in lab coats, and bustling with all kinds of tests.

Seeing Zhang Jianlong coming, everyone would stop and bow and say hello, which shows that he is very loved.

Zhang Ergou was dazzled, he felt that he had simply arrived in heaven!

Everything here is what it is most interested in, the new mecha in the laboratory is either half-disassembled, or the new equipment in the testing stage, he has even seen several prototypes of the mecha equipped in the Kray Legion, but it seems to be very useless to put there like a display, and there are some things he can't guess what they are, just putting them there already makes people feel a sense of technology.

He saw a nuclear engine with four fusion turbines! I saw the self-assembled combat exoskeleton being tested, the mecha equipped with an anti-gravity engine, and the energy gun that shoots red energy bullets...

For Zhang Ergou, who has been interested in mechanical parts since childhood, happy saliva is about to flow out, and his eyes are staring directly at those war preparations, and they seem to be shining.

"Ahem!"

Zhang Ergou immediately came back to his senses, and at this time he saw that there was one more person beside Zhang Jianlong, this person's beard was very long and tufted on his chin, silver clumps, and his eyebrows were also very long, which had hung down to the sides of his cheeks, but the top of his head was indeed bald, without a single hair, shiny.

He looked very Zhang Jianlong was in his 60s, and he was discussing himself with Zhang Jianlong at this time, with a kind smile on his face.

"Ergou, this is your Grandpa Xinghe, and he is responsible for almost all the combat preparations here!"

Zhang Ergou immediately bent down and bowed unconditionally at ninety degrees: "Hello! I'd like to ask, is that thing really a quad fusion engine over there?! ”

Li Xinghe and Zhang Jianlong were taken aback at the same time, they looked at each other meaningfully, and then Li Xinghe smiled: "I can't see it, you doll is quite eyesighted, how much do you know about mechas?" ”

"I don't know too much yet, and when there are enough parts, I can only make rose elves at present, and nothing else."

Li Xinghe's nose turned red all of a sudden, and he opened his eyes a little excitedly and asked, "Then do you know how many joints the exoskeleton driving brake of the rose elf has?" ”

Zhang Ergou thought for a moment and said briskly: "Thirty-eight, if you bring the finger part, it is seventy-two joints!" ”

Li Xinghe took a closer look at Zhang Ergou's age to be able to understand the mecha structure, and nodded with satisfaction, his eyes were full of the look of expectation unique to elders.

"What a good seedling!" He sighed, but he didn't know why this sound sounded a little heavy to Zhang Ergou.

They took the elevator all the way down, Zhang Jianlong's palm was placed in the groove in front of the door, the green light turned on, and a heavy door opened.

"Ergou, this is the gift I prepared for you, grandpa!"

Zhang Jianlong waved his hand, and the whole room suddenly lit up, and a silver mecha appeared in the middle of the tall room, like a magnet, Zhang Ergou's eyes were firmly attracted.

It's just dazzling! The armor of that mech shines in the spotlight, filling it with incredible beauty! This is the ultimate that anyone who dreams of a mecha is looking for!

Zhang Ergou has unconsciously walked to the feet of this mecha, and the closer he got, the more shocking he becomes, this mecha is simply a work of art, each part has both a sense of strength and beauty, and the lines are smooth. And there is no armor plate more than one meter long like any mecha he has seen, if you have to say, this mecha is too human-like! It's like a god of war in armor!

He immediately remembered the Silver Wolf.

But there are only two wing-shaped air brakes on the back of the Silver Wolf, and this mech has eight!

Zhang Ergou made a bold guess: I'm afraid this mecha can fly!

Zhang Jianlong was very satisfied with Ergou's performance so far, and before opening the door, he was really afraid that Zhang Ergou would not know the goods, so he turned around and left. But now he seems to have succeeded in using this mecha to whet Ergou's appetite.

Zhang Ergou got closer and closer, and at this moment, the eyes of the mecha suddenly lit up, and the lines of the body revealed blue light, which started in a strong roar!

The mecha's eyes looked directly at Zhang Ergou, as if Zhang Ergou's approach woke him up!

Ergou's chest was hot, and there was a strange feeling that something was about to burst out. However, his attention had already been drawn to this mecha, and he thought a little shamelessly: This is simply made for me!

But after thinking about it, I suddenly felt guilty in my heart, how could I betray Wolf Dog No. 1 like this!

But if this mecha can be piloted once, it will really die without regrets!

"You can't control this mecha now. It's a gift from me, but it's the culmination of all of our Clay's technology. It's too risky to get out of this door now. ”

Zhang Ergou licked his lips and looked at it with a blank eye, feeling a fire in his heart.

Zhang Jianlong saw that the time was ripe, so he said:

"Ergou, do you want to stay by your grandfather's side like this, and study in this academy like other peers? I've got the best mentor for you to guide you in your studies, and put you in the best class where there are a lot of mecha-loving playmates who share your love for mechas.

I have confidence in you, you will become the best pilot in a few years, and when the time comes, this mecha will be at your disposal, whether you smash it or throw it away, I will not ask!

Of course, I won't restrict your freedom, as long as it's safe you can go anywhere, I've set up a room for you in Kyoto, just near Aya Academy, where you can bring your friends.

I give you all this without any conditions. It's just that grandpa owes it for the past sixteen years! ”

"Oh, if you can, Grandpa wants you to come and see me more. If that's a condition! ”

Zhang Jianlong looked at Zhang Ergou's eyes deeply.

What about Zhang Ergou?

Zhang Ergou's heart is very calm.

He had longed for the life that only those noble young masters could have, but after this war, he had matured a lot, he inherited Lao Luo's legacy, his blood was calling for battle, and those days of studying and going to school were too boring compared to being in the barracks.

Zhang Ergou has not had the experience of growing up under any system since he was a child, and almost all of his growth environment can be summed up in tribulations.

It may be a novelty to see these high-rise buildings, but if you ask anyone who has come out of the slums wants to live in them? They're all going to shake their heads, I'm afraid.

The polarization is not something that can be easily dissolved. Ergou is already a free man, and he doesn't even have a Cray citizenship code!

But none of that is the point.

One of them is a grandfather, and the other is a grandson, so shouldn't they stay? Is there a greater joy in this world than seeing one's loved ones?

Or that the question between the two is not whether they are familiar or not, let alone class division, but why did their father leave fifteen years ago, and where did his mother go? What exactly is the contradiction between them?

If the ins and outs of this are not resolved, then there is no difference between him and Zhang Jianlong, and between him and a stranger who gives him something.

What does Zhang Ergou lack? It's family affection! The family affection he longed for the most was to recognize his grandfather. But Zhang Jianlong crossed the gap that should be filled between them, and directly wanted him to stay in this way.

Zhang Ergou's expression revealed the stubbornness that Zhang Jianlong didn't want to see.

"What happened fifteen years ago?"

Zhang Ergou didn't intend to hide it, so he threw the question out directly and put it naked in front of the two. He longs and has the right to know the answer, even if it is one he cannot accept.

However, unexpectedly, Zhang Jianlong shook his head, sighed and said, "It's too early, this is not something you should know." ”

Ergou smiled bitterly: "Okay then, thank you for taking me here." ”

"Let's see you soon!"

Ergou turned around and left, leaving Zhang Jianlong with a resolute back, but his heart was very uncomfortable, which was the price of his persistence.

Zhang Jianlong didn't catch up, the whole person seemed to collapse all of a sudden, and the previous spirit was all scattered...

"He'll know sooner or later, does it have to be like this?" Li Xinghe sighed and shook his head.

"Let him go! Someday you'll understand! ”

"Look at my stupid son, he asked Ergou to come to me, which means that he still understands."

"It's too heavy, it's not something a child can carry."

Li Xinghe asked rhetorically: "Is it good for him to feel good if he is like this now?" I saw that tears came out of his eyes when he went out, haven't you also looked forward to this day for fifteen years! ”

Zhang Jianlong trembled and said: "At least, he can still have a life of his own." ”

"As for me, it's all fate!" He sighed, and the sound lingered in the empty room...
