There is no twelfth-generation core engine in base six, which is one of the reasons why Ji Xinghe failed to replace it, but the eleventh-generation core engine is there. Since the 27th generation of the Federation-standard mecha, all mecha have been equipped with this engine as standard, and of the 50,000 mechs currently in service by the Federation on the alien planet, more than 20,000 are new mechs including the 27th generation mecha.

The previous twenty-sixth generation of standard mecha is no longer in production, but it is still in use, just like many discontinued cars can still run around on the road. Backward performance is a problem, but the bigger problem is that you can't afford to replace it, you just have to use it, and you have to use it.

Some of the first-level mecha warriors and super-mecha warriors who are good at using the previous generation of mecha will also make some similar upgrades, such as replacing more advanced engines and supporting parts, etc. Only non-professional mecha warriors like Ji Xinghe, who don't have exclusive mechas, or mecha warriors who don't have exclusive mechas, are of any use every time they need to use mechas.

"I'm really a genius."

Shen Mu did not hesitate to praise himself, and looked at Xingyue, who had replaced the eleventh generation core engine, and shouted: "I thought of this day when I designed this piece, let alone the eleventh generation core engine, even if it is the twelfth generation core engine, or the thirteenth generation core engine under development, as long as it is used, it can be replaced on Xingyue." ”

Ji Xinghe nodded in agreement beside him: "Yes, you are a genius." ”

This is said sincerely, because although the main design work of Xingyue was completed by Ji Xinghe himself, Shen Mu's contribution in it is not weaker than that of Ji Xinghe, especially the combination of the core engine and the mecha energy supply system and transmission system, which is basically completed by Shen Mu alone, and Ji Xinghe can only be regarded as a starter in it. He put forward his own demands, and Shen Mu completed the design of the search, and the cooperation between the two people had a sense of intimacy.

Su He, who was next to Ji Rong Xinyue and the camera, couldn't help but praise too: "You two are geniuses, different geniuses." ”

"Hey, hey, hey......" Shen Mu laughed happily, making Ji Rong Xinyue look at him with strange eyes, but he didn't notice it, and continued to say proudly: "When Lao Ji becomes an ace mecha warrior in the future, I will apply to be Lao Ji's full-time mechanic, and the two of us will combine our swords and take the emperor's orangutan dog head." ”

Su He struck with a smile: "When Lao Ji became an ace mecha warrior, did he still need you to be his mechanic?" He can repair mecha himself, speaking of which, all the ace mecha warriors, including many special mecha warriors like Major Han Li and Major Jackson, they can't repair mechas, right? ”

"Of course you need it, Lao Ji's physical fitness is not good, he has no strength after fighting, how can he repair the mecha? I don't have to fight, I just help Lao Ji repair the mecha. Shen Mu glanced at Su He and nodded, "Yes, they don't know how to repair mechas, or what they can repair is a minor problem." Therefore, Lao Ji is the strongest mecha warrior among mechanics, and the strongest mechanic among mecha warriors. ”

Su He's eyes lit up: "This sentence is good, I'll edit it." ”

"It's okay to clip it in, but I said that if Lao Ji's physical fitness is not good, you have to cut it off for me, and I said that if I don't have to fight, I have to lose it."

"Why?"

"Because I'm learning martial arts from Lao Ji, the whole federation will know that I am Lao Ji's apprentice in the future, I said that my master is not physically fit, and that I can't fight, is it a loss of face for my master?"

"It's a shame on yourself, right?"

"You don't care, besides, Xinxin will definitely be able to fight when she grows up, if I don't have Xinxin, a little junior sister, who can fight, how embarrassing it is. Brother Su, when you shoot and edit, you want to portray me as a peerless master who won't make a move easily, do you know what I mean? ”

"This will be called Brother Su, won't you call me Lao Su?"

"Brother Su, Brother Su, I will call you Brother Su in the future."

In the midst of laughter, Xingyue, who replaced the new engine, once again started the actual machine test, because it was a non-production model, this kind of actual machine test was destined to be carried out many times. It includes the process of using discarded parts from the warehouse of Base 6 before, and the process of repairing and assembling them into Xingyue is also necessary.

The design plan on the drawing is always the drawing, and the mecha is not a bungalow or a three-story building, but the equivalent of a skyscraper or a sea-crossing bridge, and the demonstration of the design scheme may even take longer than the construction time.

The main purpose of the Xingyue assembled from discarded parts is to test whether the design scheme is reasonable and whether it can play the desired effect after completion.

Facts have proved that the first generation of Xingyue, led by Ji Xinghe and Shen Mu, and more than 50% of the mechanics in the machine repair area of the No. 6 base participated in the construction, has a certain degree of actual combat ability when it completes the assembly, but because the parts are all defective, the actual combat ability is not strong.

The actual test after the engine replacement was also carried out very smoothly, and the replacement and upgrade of other parts after that was much simpler, and there was no need to conduct the actual test every time.

"Funding is limited, so we're going to talk about where to start." Shen Mu said: "My suggestion is from the energy transmission board, Lao Ji, you believe in the repair ability of the energy transfer board, but these boards are too thin after repair, and they can't withstand the full power burst of the eleventh generation engine. ”

"Yes."

"Then there is the nuclear fuel cell, like the engine, the amount of energy that different generations of nuclear fuel cells can provide is also different, Xingyue focuses on the endurance function, so we can't use the previous Imperial mecha nuclear fuel cell, that thing is also backward in the Empire." Shen Mu sighed: "If only there was money to change a mecha to use a nuclear fusion reactor, it would be no problem to play in full power mode for a whole day." ”

"There will be later, there will be."

"After the core engine, energy transmission plate, and nuclear fuel cell are replaced, your money will be gone."

"One more point, the statistics of the battle merits say that it is almost finished."

"Then replace the joints of Xingyue, first replace the joints of the lower body, because running and moving will cause great damage to the joints, and after changing, Xingyue's ability to move will be greatly enhanced."

"Okay, I'll ask me how many contribution points I can get, if I can't do it, I won't be promoted to the rank, just contribute points."

"Yes, what's the use of the military rank, if you want to be a second lieutenant, Lao Ji, apply for an independent operation area in the machine repair area, and then repair thirty mechs to be promoted to second lieutenant, I am about to be promoted to lieutenant now."

As he spoke, Lieutenant Colonel Chen Xun came over, but it was a little different from the past when he would say anything in person.

"Sergeant Ji Xinghe, let's talk?"

"Okay."

"Suhe reporter, please don't shoot this paragraph."

"Huh? But ......" Su He was a little reluctant, he was afraid that Ji Xinghe would be bullied, and without 300 million viewers, what would Ji Xinghe do to bargain with his superiors?

"It's fine." Ji Xinghe patted Su He on the shoulder, and followed Lieutenant Colonel Chen Xun to an open area in the machine repair area, which was the area where the tractor was parked, and there was no one around.

I don't know if it's an illusion, Ji Xinghe felt that only when he and Chen Xun were face to face, the perennial indifferent expression on Chen Xun's face suddenly softened, but in general, it was still expressionless, and the difference might be his eyes.

"En......" Lieutenant Colonel Chen Xun pondered for a while before he said: "You know, our superiors are not only soldiers, but also politicians. ”

Ji Xinghe sighed, he already understood something when he heard this, it was the last thing he wanted to change.
