Chapter 014: A Mecha with 73 Venus
Ji Xinghe saw the Federation's spaceship for the first time with his own eyes, and he had seen it on TV, in games, and on his mobile phone......
It's completely different from the spaceship in a science fiction movie, and it looks like a somewhat bloated airplane. In fact, the vast majority of the Federation's spaceships are upgraded space shuttles, which require the help of recyclable rockets to ascend into space.
It is true that there are cars that can fly directly into space, and there are individual starships that can fly directly from the surface of Azure Star to the front line of aliens, but the carrying capacity of both space cars and individual starships is limited.
Just like climbing a mountain, it is impossible for ordinary people with a thousand pounds of heavy burden to climb to the top of the mountain, but they can climb the world's highest peak with light clothing. There is a huge difference in the difficulty of sending a two-ton object into space and sending a two-ton object into space.
So in essence, the engine technology of the Federation has not developed by leaps and bounds, but these have nothing to do with Ji Xinghe, as long as it can allow him to reach the alien frontline.
After successfully completing the physical examination and passing the exam, Ji Xinghe put on a spacesuit and entered the spaceship, and fixed himself to the capsule with a safety buckle and seat belt. There are no seats, no dormant pods in science fiction movies, everything is simple, the purpose is to save resources, including the spacesuit on his body is not individually customized, but can be used many times.
Ji Xinghe was not the only one in the cabin, there were many people who were going to the front line of the alien planet, and everyone was silent in spacesuits. Because the spacesuit has a helmet, everyone can't see each other clearly, and all eyes are focused on a metal giant between them.
At a height of 3.9 meters, it is made of metal but not bloated, it is completely humanoid, but it is a veritable weapon of war. There is a miniature missile launcher on one shoulder, a machine gun muzzle on the other, metal spikes reflecting the cold light on both elbows and knees, a cutter-like structure on the back of one hand, and a structure similar to a knuckle on the back of the other.
The structure of these weapons is actually a bit simple, and it is not suitable for complex combat environments, but simplicity also means that it is not easy to break, as long as it is not broken, you can continue to fight.
Compared to the various models of mechs of the Federation, and the various modifications made by users according to their own usage habits, this new mech looks inconspicuous, but it can still attract the attention of everyone in this cabin, not because these people have never seen mechs, in fact, many of them have piloted mechs for training.
It's because this mecha is sprayed with 73 gold stars, which means that the pilot of this mecha has broken 73 imperial mechas, and it is very likely that he will become an ace mecha warrior.
There are not many levels of mecha warriors in the Federation, level three and level two, as long as they pass the relevant tests and assessments, they can be obtained, level 1 needs to break ten imperial mechs in actual combat, special level needs to break twenty imperial mechas, and aces need to break a hundred imperial mechas.
The promotion between the special mecha warrior and the ace mecha warrior is very difficult, not because the federation is deliberately embarrassed, but because after becoming an ace mecha warrior, you can have your own custom mecha in the true sense: using the most precious materials in the federation, created by the top scientists of the federation.
Under the ace mecha warriors, only the super-level mecha warriors can use modified mechas, and under the super-level, they can only use standard mechas, and it is not impossible to modify them, so they can only change themselves and cannot use the resources of the federation.
This is not unfairness, but the rational allocation of resources to maximize the benefits of limited resources.
The eyes looking at this mecha were almost all reverence and envy, but Ji Xinghe's eyes were full of sadness, he was the first time he had seen this mecha, but it was not the first time he had seen the mecha warrior who was in this mecha at this time.
Han Li, a new combat hero of the Federation, a special mecha warrior with the rank of major, and a classmate of his son Ji Chenxing, once defeated his son in the school-wide fighting competition and won the first place, and after graduation, he became his son's comrade-in-arms, and became his son's commander because of his outstanding combat record and command talent.
Ji Chenxing's last battle was to fight to the death under the command of Han Li, so Ji Chenxing died.
If Ji Chenxing hadn't died at that time, he should have been a special mecha warrior now, and he should be able to modify his own standard mecha, so the modification plans he designed for Ji Chenxing before would be possible......
Ji Xinghe closed his eyes, he knew very well that the modification scheme he designed Ji Chenxing would definitely not use, because in the eyes of everyone, including himself, his modification scheme was not as good as the design of those professional scientists in the Federation.
It's like he knows very well that Han Li can't be blamed for that battle that never retreats, Han Li is just carrying out orders from his superiors, and he is just using his own lives and the lives of his comrades to hold the position.
From a higher point of view, the sacrifice of Ji Chenxing and his other comrades-in-arms was of great significance, and Han Li's command and personal battle were also flawless in hindsight, completing a task that was impossible in the eyes of the command, and it was a victory worthy of praise and praise.
However, the price of victory was Ji Chenxing's sacrifice, and the outcome of the victory was that only Han Li survived.
The cabin shook, the launch vehicle had been successfully ignited, the push back feeling of slamming on the accelerator while driving was multiplied by ten on Ji Xinghe's body, the spacesuit protected his body well, and the oxygen supply system inside the helmet kept him from hypoxia.
Ji Xinghe's thoughts calmed down with his eyes closed, and he entered a state of no external objects after eliminating all distractions, he was carefully feeling his body, and he had been doing this for a while, because only by completely controlling his body could he exert all the abilities that his body had.
Under the spiritual will, the human body is the first sequence of machines, and the mecha is not.
This is what he once said to Ji Chenxing, but Ji Chenxing scoffed, because Ji Xinghe had never piloted a mecha in the real sense, and Ji Xinghe had only played the role of a mecha warrior in the game.
Even if the simulation is real, the consciousness-level virtual game is just a game, otherwise, the battle heroes of the Federation will not be people like Han Li, but those streamers and professional players who live in the home of Azure Star and mingle in the game world every day.
The feeling of weightlessness suddenly came, and a gentle voice sounded in the cabin, indicating that the passengers in the cabin could take off their spacesuits and move freely. When the spaceship comes into the sky, they don't need the protection of a spacesuit, which will make them unable to move, and the next time they wear it is when the spacecraft lands on the alien front.
With a click, the safety buckles and seat belts were lifted, and the passengers took off their spacesuits and secured them to their respective positions, but instead of moving freely, they continued to look at the mech between the special plastic boxes.
A louder click sounded, the back armor of the mecha opened, and Han Li, who was wearing a special combat uniform, floated out of the mecha. As a mech, he doesn't need the protection of a spacesuit, just like when fighting on an alien planet.
After nodding to the reverent gazes around him, Han Li floated to Ji Xinghe, who was taking off his spacesuit, compared to those young people, Ji Xinghe's movements were more than a little slow.
"Uncle Ji, I'll help you."
"Thanks, but no, I can do it."
Han Li didn't insist, but floated to the side and watched quietly.
Ji Xinghe took off his bulky spacesuit, and then began to move his body with a seat belt in one hand, he had to hold on to the seat belt, otherwise he would float up, he was not suitable for the weightless environment in space, and he couldn't control the direction of body floating as easily as Han Li, or be stationary and move, this was Ji Xinghe's first time in space.
"Chenxing, he ......" Han Li said with some difficulty, but still said: "When I first came to space, it was the same as you, he said that you taught him. ”
Ji Xinghe's movements were stagnant and silent.
"Actually, he remembers a lot of the things you taught Chenxing, but he doesn't want to admit it. He said...... He doesn't want you to be too tired and too worried. ”
Ji Xinghe continued to be silent, and Han Li lowered his head and continued, as if he was helping Ji Chenxing explain.
"He said that you are very old and tired of looking up information, reading books, and playing games, and all this is to learn what you don't need and then teach him. But in fact...... Not necessarily, because we have more professional people to guide. ”
In short, Han Li was saying that Ji Xinghe was worrying, but this was not an insult and ridicule, but Han Li was foreshadowing, he didn't want Ji Xinghe to go to the dangerous alien frontline, even if Ji Xinghe's destination was a relatively safe base.
Although Ji Xinghe is not the kind of person who is old and refined, he is indeed old, so he understands.
"I know." Ji Xinghe looked at Han Li calmly, and his tone was firm: "But from now on, all this knowledge is useful, isn't it?" ”
Han Li was silent, and he couldn't say anything about the foreshadowing.
