164 Difficult status quo
Interior of the Hong Kong Crushed-Roof Base;
Broken Chen followed Marshal Coster and the others all the way to the mecha parking platform. Looking at it all the way, many of the hardware facilities in the base are already rusty and look very old, which is simply different from the glamour when Broken Chen left five years ago, which makes Broken Chen secretly sigh.
Marshal Scott saw Broken Chen's thoughts, and explained in a slightly self-deprecating tone: "Since the 'Hunter' plan was questioned, the PPDC funds of various countries have been reduced, and all PPDC bases can only use a small amount of funds for the maintenance and maintenance of mechas, and there is no money to maintain these facilities. ”
Broken Chen sighed: "This situation is really bad. ”
After a password hatch, several people came to the mecha parking platform, thirty seats were empty, only the No. 3 parking platform stood the huge figure of 'Storm Crimson', and on the No. 5 parking platform opposite it, many staff members were busy reassembling the 'Black Evil' that had just been transported back.
The noisy base is quite lively, but compared to before, there are really fewer people in the Broken Roof Base, and it looks a little depressed.
"Your 'Black' mech just arrived today, and we're going to take some time to reassemble it. In addition, the Russian mecha 'Cherno Alpha' that has been assigned is already on its way, and it is expected to arrive in the next two days. Then there's the Australian 'Eureka Raiders', who will be relocated to Hong Kong in a week's time. Marshal Coaster's expression became a little gloomy when he said this, "There used to be dozens of hunter mechs in the world, but now there are only four left, and they are our last hope." ”
Broken Chen looked at the 'Storm Crimson', this hunter mecha that had been tested for five years had faded from its original brightness, and the paint was peeling off in many places, making it look a little vicissitudes. It can be seen that even the 'Storm Red' base in Hong Kong has no way to receive adequate treatment, so it is self-evident how bad the situation of PPDC is.
"Marshal Coaster, I heard that you plan to repair the 'Dangerous Rover' mecha in the United States and recall its former pilot, Raleigh? Beckett: yes? Broken Chen asked.
Marshal Coaster paused: "That's right, in order to increase the stakes of victory in this final battle, it is necessary for me to use all available Hunter Mechs to my best efforts. The Dangerous Wanderer is the only Gen 3 Hunter mech that can still be repaired, which is why I did it. ”
When Duanchen saw Marshal Coster say the end, his face became a little hesitant, as if he wanted to say something. Broken Chen's mind turned. Guessing Marshal Coaster's concerns, he said: "Don't worry, Marshal, I'm just asking about this matter." In my eyes, there is no such thing as failure and success for drivers, so I would welcome your recall of Mr. Beckett. ”
Marshal Coaster breathed a sigh of relief, what he was most afraid of was that these accomplished mecha pilots would embarrass Raleigh? Beckett, after all, from a certain point of view, the 'Hunter' plan will be revoked. It is directly related to these mech pilots who lost the battle.
"When you say that, I'm relieved." Marshal Coster smiled with satisfaction, "By the way, Major General Xuanchen." Personally, I would like to ask you for one thing. ”
"Tell me anything, if I can help, I'll do my best."
"Thank you for your help." Marshal Coaster pulled the Mazi beside him to Broken Chen and said, "This is Mori Asako, who is now the chief person in charge of the mecha maintenance and nursing staff in the base. She is also my adopted daughter. But what she wants to be most is to be a hunter mech pilot. ”
"I don't understand, Marshal Coaster." Broken Chen said strangely. "Asako wants to be a driver, how can I help her?"
Marshal Coaster glanced at Mazi and the Tang brothers and motioned for them to leave first.
After all four of them had gone away, Marshal Coster explained: "Here's the thing, Asako was rescued by me in Tokyo eleven years ago. Her parents were killed by the Chrysanthemum Beast at that time, so I adopted her. For so many years, she has been studying very hard in the hunter school, not only with excellent grades in science, but also with a very high talent as a pilot. ”
Marshal Coster said this: "However, she has a fatal flaw, and that is hatred. At that time, Mako was still very young, and the death of her parents and the horror of the chrysanthemum beast left a very deep wound in her heart. Once she enters the simulator for synaesthesia fusion, she is often blinded by hatred and fear because she is caught up in those memories. So up to now, she still can't get through the guò mecha pilot test. ”
"That's the case, so how do you want me to help her?"
"Your neuronal signal strength is very high, far more than any other driver, if you are to make a synaesthesia connection with Asako's neural floating, I think you can use your powerful mental power to guide her to find herself from her memories, so that she will not be lost again."
Hearing this, Broken Chen frowned slightly: "My mental power is too strong, so strong that no one can have synesthesia with me, you know this matter marshal." ”
Marshal Coster smiled: "No, it is precisely because your mental power is very strong that you can connect with anyone. ”
He saw that Duan Chen was a little confused, and then explained: "I found out about this when I was still a mecha pilot, and I have been studying this aspect since I retired, and I finally succeeded in researching it not long ago. I found that when the difference in the intensity of neuronal signals between two mecha pilots reaches more than 50, the stronger one can control his own brain during synaesthesia, abandon all the qiē, and let his brain present a blank state, with no memory and no emotion, and then he can easily and perfectly accommodate the spirit of the other party. ”
Hearing this, Broken Chen understood: "Do you want me to empty myself, connect with Mazi with empathy, and then guide her out when she is stuck in her memory and can't extricate herself, right?" ”
Marshal Coaster nodded: "That's right, that's what it means." ”
"Okay, it's a small matter, I'm willing to help." Broken Chen agreed, originally he was worried that his memory would be spied on, and he didn't want to agree to this matter, but now that he has no worries, of course this kind of small favor can help.
Marshal Coster looked very happy to get his satisfactory answer, he patted Duan Chen's shoulder, and said with a smile: "I thank you on behalf of Asako." ”
"Needless to say. Marshal. Duan Chen said politely, "By the way, where is General Liang Kai?" I think I need to meet this old man of mine. ”
"He's in his office, go find him."
"Alright, then I'll go first, Marshal." Broken Chen said hello and went straight to General Liang Kai.
Marshal Coster stood in place, watching Broken Chen leave, with a smile and regret on his face.
"If only other mech pilots could reach half his level, that would be great. Alas..."
Duan Chen ran to General Liang Kai's office alone, knocked on the door and walked in, and saw General Liang Kai packing up his writings and belongings there, and there were large bags in the office, as if he was going to move out of here.
Seeing that the person who came in was Broken Chen, General Liang Kai greeted him with a smile on his face: "Haha, Broken Boy is back, I haven't seen you change in five years, it's just a few levels older." Now he has become a general. ”
As he spoke, he patted Duanchen on the shoulder, and added at the end: "But I'm still your superior, and I will always be your old chief." ”
Hear General Liang Kai say this. Broken Chen couldn't cry or laugh for a while. Liang Kai is now a general, still two levels higher than Duan Chen, and I heard that after being transferred back to the Yanjing Military Region by Huaxia this time, he will be promoted to marshal. This is after the ten founding marshals of China. The first to become a marshal by virtue of merit.
As a special unit, PPDC is facing the common enemy of mankind, the Chrysanthemum Beast, so the merit system is also extraordinary. The ranks are moving up quickly, and the two fastest classes are mech pilots and base commanders, one high-risk and the other heavy-duty.
In the past 5 years, Broken Chen has killed the Kaiju Beast 29 times, and this credit has made him promoted to major general. Marshal Coaster, who was born as a mecha pilot, also became a marshal at the age of less than fifty because of his outstanding merits and excellent command ability.
Liang Kai was able to become the new marshal, and there is an inseparable reason for Broken Chen, it is precisely because of such a fierce general as Broken Chen under his command that his credit can be accumulated so quickly. Therefore, whether it is public or private, General Liang Kai likes the young man Duan Chen very much.
"General Liang, are you leaving?" Broken Chen asked, "Why didn't the PPDC leave you behind, after all, you are most familiar with the things in the Shattered Dome Base." ”
General Liang Kai said with a smile: "Now the entire PPDC is only the base here in Hong Kong, and many people have to leave due to personnel changes and job changes. And our Huaxia political prostitution means that I should go back to Yanjing, because PPDC is no longer favored by political prostration, so it is fully handed over to Marshal Coaster and managed by him. ”
Broken Chen heard that PPDC was about to be abandoned, and he could only shake his head and sigh bitterly: "Do those stupid coalition governments really think that building a wall can stop the Kaiju Beast?" If you want me to say, they will definitely pay for it, and then find themselves stupid like a donkey. ”
"Hahahaha... You're still so straightforward, you haven't changed at all. General Liang Kai couldn't stop laughing, and Duan Chen scolded the grievances in his heart, which made him feel extremely happy.
In the end, General Liang Kai laughed enough, he patted Duan Chen's shoulder, and said seriously: "Duan Chen, you are what I have watched step by step to get to where you are today, your talent and efforts, and your contribution to protecting mankind, I dare to say that no one in this world can compare to you." It's a pity that I'm leaving, and the future PPDC will depend on you and the Tang brothers for support, but I'll keep watching you, don't let me down. ”
Broken Chen stood up and saluted: "Yes!" ”
The next day, General Liang Kai left.
Shattered Roof Base was followed by the third Hunter Mech, Russia's 'Cherno Alpha', and its pilots, Sasha and Alexis. At the same time, Australia's 'Eureka Raiders' are ready to go to Hong Kong at any time.
As far away as Sika City, Alaska, USA, on the construction site of a coastal fence, a young man named Beckett is looking at the sea in the distance in confusion, thinking about where his future lies.
