Chapter 040: Selfishness

Ji Xinghe actually didn't want to go to the mecha area now, he wanted to meet the second lieutenant officer with the mechanical legs, but unfortunately, he didn't know the other party's name and number, so he couldn't contact the other party at all.

He shouldn't be able to sleep, right? It's like yourself.

Can Shin Shin fall asleep? She probably wouldn't be able to sleep, but she would have stayed motionless in bed, because she didn't want to worry about herself, she didn't want to affect her work, just like she didn't want to affect her mother's work before.

Then I should have worked harder.

Ji Xinghe thought like this, and came to the mecha area, this time he came alone, without Shen Mu's help to brush the permission information, he felt that he might not be able to enter, after all, he refused the employment of the 109th operation area, and also questioned the lieutenant colonel officer who looked like a manager in the base.

Unexpectedly, and it was reasonable, when he approached the metal door of the mecha area, the permission authentication had been directly completed, and an electronic voice sounded: "Welcome, professional and technical private mechanic Ji Xinghe." ”

He had access to the mecha area, but his mission log was blank, so even if he did, he didn't know what he was supposed to do or what he could do.

"Lao Ji, wait for me to give you permission."

Shen Mu shouted at the corner of the corridor, he and Su He came together, because the place where the two people stayed was originally very close, and the place where Ji Xinghe was assigned to stay was also with them, but Ji Xinghe had never gone back until now.

"No, I have permission."

Ji Xinghe was the first to enter the metal door, he was already a little impatient, not only because he had to work harder, but also because he had been a person who loved mechanics since he was a child, and he embarked on the road of mechanics because of his hobby, repairing mecha and manufacturing mecha was his dream.

Shen Mu's footsteps paused slightly, Su He had already trotted all the way over, he had also applied for the corresponding permission just now, and now he could freely enter and leave the mecha area even without Shen Mu and Ji Xinghe.

"Wait for me."

After Shen Mu chased in, he followed Ji Xinghe's side like a follower and chattered: "I have finished the report, I was assigned to the No. 21 operation area, I am the person in charge, and the original person in charge has not been able to come back after applying to go to the front line...... Lao Ji, why don't you come and help me, a real eighth-level fitter, I never dreamed that I could have such a day. ”

The maintenance of mecha on the alien planet is not all in the base, the mecha that can be transported to the base for maintenance are actually very lucky, and the mechanics here are relatively safe, and the real danger and difficulty are those damaged mechas and mechanics on the front-line battlefield.

"Nope." Ji Xinghe once again refused and gave a reason: "I also checked, if I go to you, or 109, your daily mission log will count me, not only will you be very tired, but I will also have no time." ”

The artificial intelligence program and command center of the base will allocate the content of the daily task log according to the personnel allocation, technical level and other factors in each operation area.

"But if you don't come to me, or to 109, who can teach you?" Shen Mu questioned: "You can't do it alone, I know that you have strong personal ability, you have strong learning ability, you only need to sleep four or five hours a day, but the problem is that the efficiency of self-study is very low, when we are together, you can avoid a lot of detours...... Boss, it's not that I won't help you, I'm afraid that after I'm busy here, I won't have time to answer many of your questions. I'm very good at repairing, and my quest log is estimated to be full, so you can't wait for me to complete my daily tasks before teaching you. ”

Su He echoed beside him: "Yes, Lao Ji, although you know a little about mechas, they are all self-taught, and these masters and Shen Mu are from a professional background, which can really allow you to avoid a lot of detours." If you really want to help the second lieutenant officer, it won't take much time, he shouldn't be in such a hurry, as long as you start helping him, so you don't need to be in a hurry. Let's just say, can you join 109 or Shen Mu's 21 first, and then you can resign if you can't, okay. ”

Ji Xinghe looked at the mecha area, which was almost no different in busyness and the total number of mechanics before eating, or before the normal off-duty time, and was silent for a while before speaking.

"Actually, I know very well that I shouldn't be here, I'm too old, so I'm actually a superfluous person here. Yes, I've taken up some resources to get here, and survival here takes up some resources, and I have to contribute accordingly, but I think I can do it. And...... Is the second lieutenant officer really the only one in this base who needs help? ”

Shen Mu and Su He were silent, the battle on the alien front was very fierce, and there were not a few people who became disabled like ensign officers, many of them were unwilling to leave the alien front, but they lost the ability to continue fighting in the true sense.

Ji Xinghe looked at Su He: "Xiao Su, I found out that there is a remnant company in the base, you do me a favor and count all their information, and the second lieutenant officer, I need to know his name, his previous fighting style, and it is best to have the battle video recorded by the black box of his previous mecha." ”

The remnant company, as the name suggests, is a person like that second lieutenant officer. They were reluctant to leave, so they were incorporated into the remnant company.

Su He didn't agree at the first time, and Shen Mu asked the question that Su He also wanted to ask.

"Why?"

"There's no why, just want to do it. Something must be said...... The old man who no one is optimistic about, and the remnant soldier company that no one is optimistic about, don't you think it's a good match? ”

Originally, Shen Mu and Su He, who originally thought that Ji Xinghe would say something big, or something touching and heartfelt, were both a little surprised, is it really just because of this?

No, of course not.

Ji Xinghe is actually selfish, because he also wants to fight armor-piercing, but it is impossible for him to have his own mecha at his age, even if he earns resources to create the old man's music, he has no chance to truly pierce armor.

But if those people can regain the opportunity to fight through armor and show the corresponding ability, why can't this old man fight through armor?

As for whether the heroes who were supposed to retire and return to Azure Star would be sacrificed because of this, Ji Xinghe didn't need to think about it, because the choice was in the hands of those heroes, not in his hands.

He wants to give those people a chance, and those people can give him a chance.

"Okay."

Su He agreed directly without delving, he felt that this paragraph was very in line with the theme of the documentary "The Old Man and the Sea of Stars".

Shen Mu didn't persuade again, and the three of them also came to the No. 109 mecha area in the process of speaking, at this time, Master Liu and others were installing parts for a mecha, which was the one that had been repaired by Ji Xinghe before, and after testing and confirming that there was no problem, they wanted to install the parts on the mecha for actual machine testing.

Ji Xinghe came just in time, but he didn't want to see this.

"Master Liu, can I take a look at your list of needs?"

"Huh? Don't you look at the actual test, Master Ji, although we cherish our time, it's really not bad for a few minutes. ”

"Don't look at it, I said it, I fixed it."
