Back at the base, if this can still be called a base, I took off my helmet tiredly and sat down on a rock, part of the little R continued to be on guard, and the rest I told them to standby, believing that there would be no more fighting anytime soon. After this battle, I only had 36 mechs left, Hans only 26, and Efson 24. A large area of the camp where the team members rested was bombed, and our squad was also blown up. This time, each member of the White House only had one car, and he didn't even bring a backup, so it seemed that he was going to squeeze with others at night.

The energy supply was basically blown up, and it basically relied on the mecha itself for a short period of time. I'm glad I've been collecting energy from battle-damaged mechs all along, and those who don't have this habit are complaining. This enemy sneak attack, after the battle, it was discovered that it was from an underground tunnel, and after this attack, the entire tunnel was also blown up by the rebels. It seems that the rebels have been operating here for a long time, and they are also very attentive. In the current global information is still attacked by the individual soldiers, and they may not believe it when they go back and tell others.

"Captain, this battle is too bad, drilling around in the tunnel, the firepower is difficult to play, the rebels even have a heavy machine waiting for us in the cave, just like a group of rats rushing into the house of another group of mice, only to find a cat inside, only to run! I finally ran back, only to find that my old house was gone. Zhang Yang began his tirade again.

"That's it!" Xiao Chen couldn't stand Zhang Yang's nagging, "Our team is pretty good, you see that the other teams don't hang half of the mechas." ”

"yes, yes, we have a good captain." Zhang Yang looked at me with admiration.

I stood up and decided to walk around, and Hans and Efson came over. The ground was full of debris, and Hans flew up and kicked away a piece in front of him, and the "snap" debris flew far away, just kicking it on top of a mech.

"! Who kicked it, didn't you see that I was repairing a mech? ”

An angry voice came over, and we walked in the direction of the sound. It was a man with a short beard, black eyes, yellow hair, very young, about my age, and probably a student. He was supposed to be an ancient Eurasian mixture, and the standard standard protective suit was very close to him, revealing his muscles. He was repairing the mech, and the cushion plug on the back of the left leg of the mech was broken, and there was an accessory on the side that I didn't know where to go, and he was shouting angrily in our direction.

"I'm sorry." Hans said, "Why do you fix it yourself, don't you all go to the maintenance department to fix it?" ”

"Call the wartime maintenance department to repair? They don't look like the professional maintenance department in the rear, if they were asked to fix it, they would probably replace the whole leg if it was broken like this, and I only need to replace such a small thing. He shook a small part in his hand, then turned around and tinkered with the tool.

"Are you a mechanic specializing in mecha maintenance?" I asked curiously.

"I'm a mech designer." He didn't look back, and continued to be busy.

"It's rare to specialize in design." Efson received. He didn't say anything, and we watched with interest.

"Alright." After a while, he happily stood up and got into the mecha to try it. After putting on his mech, he turned around, looked at us, and said, "I'll leave first if there's nothing to do, I'm busy." With that, he turned to leave.

"Don't adjust the speed of your leg to 80, 50 to 60 is about the same, otherwise you will have to repair it again in a few days."

He was stunned for a moment and turned around: "How do you know that I am generally above 80." ”

"The battle has not been fought for a few days, and if it weren't for this speed buffer plug, it might have broken somewhere."

"Then how much do you adjust, you don't have that speed and capacity to be hit?"

"It's usually only 50, and you can use a backpack when it's fast."

"Oh!" He sneered, "You're the captain!" I guess you didn't have a few mechs damaged in battle! ”

"I didn't lose a few planes, I still have 36, what about you?" I understood what he meant, but I wasn't angry.

"What!" His eyes widened suddenly, and he looked incredulous. "I still have 31 planes, how many of them are repaired by yourself, and you only lost 9 planes?"

After receiving my affirmative answer, he stretched out his hand: "I am Xu Yunhao, level 87 of mecha design in the mechanical engineering department of the Jimet Military Academy, and this time I participated in this expedition because of the actual combat experience of the academy. ”

I also stretched out my hand, and the two hands were tightly clasped together and introduced: "I am Su Jingtian, Level 87 of Geographic Engineering of the Comprehensive Department of Lingzhou Military Academy, and like you, I also participated because of the actual combat experience requirements of the academy. ”

I looked around, he didn't seem to have any companions, Yun Hao saw me and said, "I didn't have a team, so I came alone." In fact, the main thing is to repair mechas, and combat may be secondary! ”

"You two student soldiers, one is learning to design and repair mechas, and the other is learning geography to command tactically, but you are really two who are not doing their jobs, I don't know if your teachers will have a headache." Hans looked very happy and laughed.

"I can't see it, it's still two top students! It's not like a few of us old guys who only fight and kill. Come! Go to my side, I've brought something good. Efson said with a smile. We arrived together at Efson's White House, which was cramped with four people in an area of less than ten square meters.

"Sit down." Efson pointed to the bed, bent over and pulled out a box from under the bed, containing cans of wine and a few packets of fruits, as well as a large vacuum-packed bag and a few other foods. Efson opened the bag, and a long-lost scent came to his nose.

"Damn! It turned out to be a white-headed black chicken, this is not a military match, it came from there. "When I saw it, I was overjoyed.

"Before this expedition, the one at home was ready for me to bring here, didn't I still be reluctant to come out to eat when I met you!" Efson laughed.

"Eat, eat, don't eat, I'm sorry for this chicken!" Hans started first, and Yun Hao and I ate it too, and the naturally grown chicken tasted much better than the chicken that grew up eating the ingredients. During the conversation, I learned that Yun Hao and I were also 36 years old in the same year, and there was a younger brother and a younger sister at home, the younger brother was 28 and the younger sister was 17 and 12 was in general studies.

"My sister is going to study in a small subject next year, and I plan to make a little robot for him, what about you!"

"I have an older brother who is 8 years older than me, and he was born prematurely at 16 months! He is not tall, but he is very smart and works in a scientific research institute. "I think of my brother, I haven't seen him for a long time, and I really miss him.

"To be able to work in a research institute at the age of 44 is really a genius. However, working in a scientific research institute is not very miserable, the more important the position, the less you can travel between stars, and do this and that all day long. Efson sighed, but with a look of respect.

"Yes, my mother didn't agree with it at the time, but he was too talented and determined to do scientific research, but I heard my mother say that the living conditions for scientific research are excellent, and my family also has a lot of preferential policies."

"That's as it should be, without them, how can science progress so quickly! It's okay now, and it may be sad to see each other when the years get older! Yun Hao was also full of sighs.

I stood up, and the thought of my brother, who had cared for me since I was a child and was determined to do scientific research, was sour and lost my appetite.

"What are you young people doing all this, sit down and sit down." Hans and Efson are both 100-year-old veterans, and they have seen a lot, Hans pulled me down and talked to Efson about what they had seen and heard on various planets, and I and Yun Hao, two young people who had never been out of the base star, kept "Ah! "Ahh "That's it! Exclamation.

After I was full, I asked Evson for two more cans of wine and some food to bring to Xiao Chen Xiaozhang. When I came back, I gave it to them, and I was a little embarrassed to see how happy they were.

I woke up in the morning in Hans's white house, washed up, and summoned Xiao Zhang and Xiao Chen. Out of the house, the faint wind led my gaze into the distance. The pale red morning light spread out in the distant peaks, the mountain peaks seemed to be drawn a golden line on the edge, the golden line became brighter and brighter, and even the clouds were brighter, and a little white appeared in the sudden color red, but it was not the sun that showed a small face, at this time the golden line was brighter, and the white clouds seemed to be infected with emotions, and they became more and more red. When the sun finally broke free from the darkness and stood up to look at the familiar earth and the strange us, my eyes seemed to be pierced and I involuntarily turned to the side. At this time, Xiao Chen and Xiao Zhang came over and stood next to me, and the three of them looked at Chu Yang and couldn't help but admire: "It's so beautiful!" ”

The base was busy, everyone was building positions, and after suffering a terrible lesson, people couldn't help but have doubts about the concept of modern defense. In yesterday's attack, many white houses were destroyed, but for some reason, none of the facilities or houses were attacked using local materials. The reason is that the energy fluctuations of those white houses are too strong, and although the defense is high, they have become a light in the darkness.

I took a few small R's to dig holes in the rock wall, and just received a notice from my superiors to wait for the fleet to produce equipment before replenishing us, and in the next few days, I should recuperate, and in addition to building my own resting place, I also need to build some defensive positions. These upright quartzites are easy to dig up as long as they follow the lines.

I dug a small path in a hidden corner that was only big enough to get in and out, dug three meters in, turned 5 meters, and then turned another 3 meters to reach my hideout. The humanoid little R is a little stronger than us humans in terms of work, and if it's a pure combat mech, it won't help at all. After a while, I got my nest and went to check on Xiao Chen and Xiao Zhang. And then we got to the big stuff. As one of the few students majoring in geography and engineering, my superiors drew a line of defense for me to arrange.

I looked at the terrain of the base, and the temporary base was a nearly square about 6 kilometers long and about 5 kilometers wide, with dozens of small peaks scattered in it, and I was responsible for the layout of the defensive line on the right side. I asked Little R to measure the terrain contour line for me first, and in the optical age when stationary targets are found and destroyed at close range, the line of sight and communication trenches are very important. After the contour line came out, I expanded three lines of defense on the right side, each of which was basically set at the highest point where the line of sight could be observed, and each line was spaced about 1.5 kilometers apart, which took into account the shooting distance of the mecha and the retreat distance of the defense line.

Theoretically, the effective distance of the laser gun is unlimited, but the observation and attack distance of the mecha is still limited, and the maximum observation and attack distance is about 2 kilometers, which is too far to aim accurately. I asked the mechs assigned to me to dig longitudinal and horizontal communication trenches, and the vertical communication trenches were used backwards. In addition to the blind spot of the sight of the other parts of the digging casually, these ground traffic trenches are furnishings, the real longitudinal traffic trenches are generally from the ground, the sight of the dead corners behind the mountain peaks are also dug according to the standard. The maximum number of casualties when retreating, who knows if the rebels still have warp weapons.

I also set up a lot of observation posts, and since the rebels like to press the observation posts on many peaks, I simply chose a good line of sight to set up underground, and set up false targets on the peaks. Hans and Efson also made suggestions from time to time, and the veteran's proposal was very pertinent and made up for some of my shortcomings in details. We went to see Yun Hao a few times in his spare time, and he was in a daze all the time, and I didn't know what he was thinking. After the general arrangement, the rest is the matter of the mecha. In this rare free time, we enjoy the quiet, otherwise who knows when we will have to work hard! I thought that the conventional actual combat experience would become a desperate fight.
