Chapter 064: Corporal Ji Xinghe

The dismantling work went smoothly, and Ji Xinghe, who returned to his mecha, marked the map and left with the parts he dismantled. If he has the chance, he will come and tow all three Imperial mechs back, and the base on the other side that has received the news can also come and pick up the mechs during the relatively calm period of the war.

After crossing this five-kilometer-long area, the communication was really restored, the cripple and Ji Xinghe both got in touch with the base, the blind man had already told the whole situation, and the two of them didn't need to say much, they just needed to supplement and send back the mecha's records.

"Corporal Ji Xinghe, please confirm your physical condition, as well as the mecha's mobility and combat ability."

The sound in the communicator made Ji Xinghe stunned for a moment, this is a corporal? Sure enough, the speed of promotion in wartime is not the fastest, only faster, and the speed is only related to the war, only to the ability. After the blind man completed the report of the situation and transmitted the contents of his mecha recorder, the Sixth Base had already completed the assessment in the first place.

As a result, Ji Xinghe, the oldest recruit of the Federation, had just left the relatively comfortable No. 6 base for three days, and he had already been promoted from private to corporal, not only was his military rank promoted by two levels, but he was also promoted from a third-level mecha warrior to a second-level mecha warrior.

"My body is fine, and my mecha is fine."

"We have received a self-inspection report, and your mech is only 89% intact, please pay attention to safety in the battle that may occur in the future."

"Okay, thanks."

The call ended, and no one praised Ji Xinghe's great strength in this kind of communication, even those who saw the video recording of Ji Xinghe's battle couldn't help but cheer at that time. No one pursued Ji Xinghe for violating the lame man's order, the matter was in a hurry, although the military order was greater than everything, but the lame man issued a real military order, Ji Xinghe proved that the lame man and everyone had a serious misjudgment of his strength.

That voice, 'Do you believe me?' If Ji Xinghe asked those people in the base, they might be as willing to believe it as the current lame and blind people.

The matter of why the imperial mecha appeared in the Grand Canyon has nothing to do with Ji Xinghe, nor does it have anything to do with the blind man and the lame, the task of the two of them has become to go to the third base closer to the battlefield to support, and the matter of the discovery of three mecha in the canyon will be investigated by more professional people.

Ji Xinghe's mission is simpler, he actually didn't receive any missions, some are just the only purpose he chose to come to, he wants to go to Base 3 to get medicine, and then take the medicine and his loot back to Base 6.

The process of rushing in the Grand Canyon is not boring, after the blind man is fine, the three of them can chat freely in the shortwave communication channel, which can cover a range of ten kilometers, but can only act within three kilometers in the complex environment of the canyon, and there will be some noises, but this does not affect the chat.

Ji Xinghe's interest in talking is also very strong, and he has a lot of questions that need to be answered by experienced warriors like lame and blind people.

"Why are there no guns? I mean, the kind of gun that mechs can use. ”

"It's not easy to aim, it's already difficult to control the mecha to maneuver, let alone drive the mecha to aim with a gun. Moreover, there is a lot of ammunition loss in such a thing as fighting, and carrying a large amount of ammunition will affect the mobility of the mecha, and it is not easy to replace the magazine. ”

At this time, Ji Xinghe realized how ridiculous it was when he told Major General Tu Yuan that he only needed a gun. Carrying a knife to fight a mech on another planet was more like a joke, without the power provided by the mech, his knife would not have been able to penetrate even the weakest part of the armor on the mech's body.

"But we have some sharpshooters too." The blind man added after the cripple replied: "Their guns can even directly destroy mechs, but if you want to show their marksmanship, bulky spacesuits can't do it, they are wearing small mechs similar to individual exoskeleton armor, and I heard that this thing is quite expensive." ”

The height of small mecha is less than 2.2 meters, basically the same height as the human body, girth, although very flexible, but the power it can provide is very small in comparison, and it is a little insufficient to face conventional mechas, and can only use firearms and other weapons to fight.

"Sharpshooters are really powerful, I've encountered them before, when our mechs are fighting, they assist in shooting, and it's much easier to fight." The cripple said: "But the problem is that there are often dust storms on alien planets, and they don't stop for months, and in that environment, weapons and equipment other than mecha are basically useless, and they can't see the target and can't snipe." ”

The speed of dust storms on alien planets can reach more than 180 meters per second, and the wind speed of a level 12 typhoon on Azure Star is only 32.6 meters per second, which is far less than the intensity of alien sandstorms. Moreover, once the alien dust storm blows up, it can last for weeks or even months, covering a positive area, and the influence area of thousands of kilometers makes the alien environment more complicated, and every few years there will be a dust storm that can cover the entire alien star.

"What annoys me the most is the dust storm, not to mention the waste of communications, and the waste of our satellites, I can't see anything. The radar and sonar device on the mecha is also useless, and it has become blind on the surface......"

"It's annoying, those orangutans in the empire who are not afraid of death don't care about the dust storm or not, they like to come out and fight us during the dust storm, because we have no satellites, no space firepower coverage, and individual starships are not easy to use. I was hit by a dust storm before, and I didn't find out until the Imperial mecha was only thirty meters away, and it scared me......"

The Cripple and the Blind Man didn't stop talking, not because they wanted to chat, or because they wanted to show off their heroic past, but because the two of them were very sure of one thing: Ji Xinghe couldn't just be a mechanic in the base.

It's not just a matter of strength, it's also a matter of character, and being able to disobey the cripple's instructions at that time, and be confident to the point of conceit, asking the blind man if he believes him, can already explain everything.

If Ji Xinghe must go to the battlefield, then the blind man and the lame man have a lot of experience and can help Ji Xinghe in the future. Just as Ji Xinghe taught them fighting skills, they are also teaching Ji Xinghe all kinds of knowledge about mecha combat and the alien environment.

There must be my division in the threesome, and they are exactly three of them, and when they left the Grand Canyon and landed on the surface, it was an alien afternoon.

"I miss the fiery red sun, what Michaelis scattering, making the sun blue and not in the middle of winter."

"I miss the moon more and haven't seen it for years. Lao Ji, what about you? ”

"I ...... I miss my granddaughter. ”

"Then let's hurry up, we have enough energy."

The blue sun hung high, the yellow-brown earth was vast, and the wind was like a knife, chasing the three running mechas, and orange-red footprints appeared on the ground they had stepped on, which was the richest hematite on the alien planet, and it was all over the alien dust.

Red iron is like blood, blocking the way forward, and when the No. 3 base is in sight, the old man, the lame, and the blind all laugh.
