Chapter 146: Birthday Present

The arrival of the second transfer convoy crowded Base 5, and there were many sleeping bags in the training area, and the recruits and wounded soldiers who were undergoing recovery training proved that they were brave and willing to take on more responsibilities and obligations.

Almost everyone's rooms were reassigned to accommodate as many people as possible, and Ji Xinghe did not enjoy any privileges in this matter, although he could ask for privileges, but neither he nor Ji Rong Xinyue agreed to this privilege.

So his two bedrooms, one living room and one bathroom welcomed five new guests. Lin Shu, Ma Ergou, and Wang Juntong slept in Ji Xinghe's bed, Xia Zao, Tan Lingling, and Ji Rong Xinyue lived in the same room, and Ji Xinghe slept in a living room that was so small that it could not be called a living room.

Speaking of which, among the five children, in addition to Tan Lingling from the No. 3 base, the other four children are all from the No. 6 base, and Ji Rong Xinyue was born and grew up together, and they all said to Ji Rong Xinyue before, 'You don't have a father', 'Your father doesn't want you anymore' and so on.

No one says this kind of thing anymore for several reasons: they can't beat Ji Rong Xinyue, the new eldest sister, everyone is more sensible, and they don't have parents......

Either they had already died, or they could be sacrificed at any time, and these children were transferred to Base Five ahead of schedule, and they knew very well that they might never see their parents again.

Ji Xinghe, who slept in the living room, occasionally heard some low sobs in the middle of the night, but he didn't do anything and didn't say anything. Because when he taught these children to practice kung fu during the day, he could see the resolute eyes of these children, cowardice, sadness, fear and other emotions, which did not make these children weak and extreme, they were much stronger than Ji Xinghe expected.

More than once to prevent these children from practicing in private, Ji Xinghe was able to see the fierce side of these children, they were fierce to their own bodies, fierce to their not fragile will, and fierce during combat training.

Perhaps one day, the orangutans of the empire will face the ferocity of these children as they grow up.

The only good news for most people is that the three meals a day in the canteen of Base 5 are served normally, the quality of the dishes has not decreased, the quantity has not decreased due to the increase in population, everyone can eat and drink enough, and then go all out to do what everyone can do.

Fifteen days have passed since Ji Xinghe participated in the first orbital airborne experiment, and ten days have passed since he returned to the fifth base, and no new missions have appeared, and the empire does not know if it is because of the appearance of the orbital airborne mecha corps, and the diamond-shaped metal body is not used for the time being.

In the past ten days, in addition to his daily work, Ji Xinghe has been waiting, and today what he is waiting for has finally arrived.

After the training and teaching of the children, Ji Xinghe did not let the children disband as usual.

"You guys, do you want to see the mech?"

The children didn't answer, but their eyes had already betrayed them, and Ji Rong Xinyue, who was the eldest sister, was the first to stand up: "Instructor, we want to see mechas." ”

"Okay, I'll take you to see the mech."

After the grandfather and grandson sang and harmonized, they took the children to the machine repair area of the No. 5 base and came to the exclusive operation area of Ji Xinghe.

"Master." "Master." ……

The mechanics who are working in the operation area use the envy of the children when they see Ji Xinghe, and the children actually want to call Ji Xinghe Master, but obviously they can't, because Ji Rong Xinyue is unwilling, so the children can only call Ji Xinghe as an instructor when they are in the training area, and call Ji Xinghe Grandpa Ji in their daily life when they leave the training area.

"Yes."

Ji Xinghe nodded and responded, The mechanics in his operation area have helped him a lot, without the help of these mechanics, it is difficult for him to complete more work tasks than many people with multiple professional identities.

Similarly, these mechanics were willing and even cheeky to call Master Ji Xinghe, not because of Ji Xinghe's status as a special mecha warrior and lieutenant rank, but because Ji Xinghe's level in the mechanic profession made them admire.

With Ji Xinghe's leadership, their work efficiency has improved a lot, and they can make a greater contribution to this war. In the process of work, everyone can learn new knowledge, and the most commendable thing is that while they are learning and progressing, they can also help Ji Xinghe learn and progress, and everyone is making progress under mutual promotion.

"Master, all of Xingyue's mobile joints have been sent over, and you can upgrade Xingyue again."

"Okay, don't worry about this, repair the mecha first."

Xingyue, which was still short of more than 30 million resources before it could be fully upgraded, was not much worse when the number of Venus in Ji Xinghe increased from twenty-two to forty-one. The corresponding resources have been allotted and finally arrived today.

But Ji Xinghe didn't immediately start upgrading Xingyue, but looked at the twenty-four children behind him. The children's eyes were focused on Xingyue's body, and the mechs that were being repaired in the machine repair area and the mechs that had completed the repair and were undergoing actual tests failed to attract their attention.

Because all of them know the stars and moons, and they all know that the stars and moons are not the stars and moons of Ji Rong Xinyue, but they are the stars and moons of Ji Rong Xinyue.

Among the twenty-four children, only Ji Rong Xinyue has ridden a mecha and can ride it every day, and the mecha she rides in is Xingyue.

Who can truly understand that kind of envy but themselves?

"Would you like to try it?"

Ji Xinghe's straightforward question made the children so excited that they didn't dare to answer, Ji Xinghe said that he wanted to take them to see the mecha, in terms of their precociousness, they naturally didn't believe that they just had to take a look. If you just look at it, they see it every day in the training area.

Ma Ergou glanced at Ji Rong Xinyue, and saw that the other party did not mean to be dissatisfied, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Yes." ”

With someone taking the lead, the other children responded with a voice, and everyone was eager to try.

"Okay." Ji Xinghe's expression became serious after nodding: "The Xinghe squad prepares the youth team to listen to the order and line up." ”

Twenty-four children began to line up without any hesitation, neatly and neatly.

"Count."

"One." "Two." "Three." ……

"Report to the instructor." Ji Rong Xinyue shouted loudly: "The Xinghe squad should have twenty-four people in the preparatory youth training team, but there are twenty-four people, please instruct." ”

"Today, we are going to carry out the first phase of actual machine driving training, Ji Rong Xinyue, out of the ranks."

"Here."

"I'll leave it to you."

"Yes."

Ji Rong Xinyue turned to look at her twenty-three companions, who should be called teammates at this time, and then arranged them in the order of the team.

"Ma Ergou."

"Here."

"Out of the line."

"Yes."

Ma Ergou stood up excitedly, and there was actually some doubt in his eyes, because until now he didn't believe that Ji Rong Xinyue was willing to let them ride the star and moon.

"Xingyue." Ji Rong Xinyue didn't look at Ma Ergou, turned to look at Xingyue who was standing solemnly not far away, and shouted softly, her bracelet lit up, and the signal was transmitted to the standby Xingyue intelligent core system.

So Xingyue's eyes lit up, and a gentle female voice sounded in the external speaker: "In." ”

"Open the cockpit door."

"Yes."

When the tall Xingyue turned around and slowly crouched down with his back to the children, the hatch behind it opened, and the cockpit of the mecha appeared in the children's sight.

"Ma Ergou." Ji Rong Xinyue looked at Xingyue, took a deep breath, and then said softly, "Go ahead." ”

Ma Ergou hesitated for a moment, he looked at the expression on Ji Rong Xinyue's face, looked at the expression on Ji Xinghe's face, and then ran to Xingyue's cockpit, climbed in along the gangway specially made for Ji Rong Xinyue and was at a loss, he didn't know what to do, and he didn't know what he should do.

Fortunately, Ji Rong Xinyue followed, and patiently began to point out, and there was no dissatisfaction in his tone.

So Ma Ergou sat on Ji Rong Xinyue's special seat, buckled the safety device, put on holographic glasses, and saw the star-moon perspective shared by the main operation perspective.

The hatch closed, Xingyue got up, and Ji Rong Xinyue, who was standing aside, looked at her Xingyue and took a deep breath again.

"Xingyue, standard tactical move one."

"Yes."

Xingyue, who has no real driver, begins to make maneuvers, and its intelligent core can allow it to complete these simple maneuvers, allowing it to run automatically. Aside from not being able to fight, it doesn't look much different from a mech with a pilot.

If anything, it's that it's too bloated, and it has too many Venus on it to shine in the light.

"It's time, Xingyue, open the hatch."

"Yes."

"Ma Ergou, come down."

"Yes." Ma Ergou was very reluctant, but he knew that this was an order, and he knew that Xingyue was Ji Rong Xinyue's knight.

"Lin Shu, out of the ranks."

"Yes."

Ji Xinghe didn't continue to watch from the side, Xingyue wouldn't have problems in this situation, and Ji Rongxinyue, who had been with Xingyue for a long time, wouldn't make a mistake, so he started his mechanic work with peace of mind.

The children were very happy to play with Xingyue, but Ji Xinghe was actually not happy, because this was not training at all, nor was it playing, but a birthday gift.

Today is Ji Rongxinyue's sixth birthday, and she will really be six years old today, and she will be seven years old in more than 20 days.

A few days ago, Ji Xinghe asked Ji Rong Xinyue what birthday gift she wanted, and after thinking about it for a few days, Ji Rong Xinyue finally told Ji Xinghe the answer earlier today.

"I want them to drive the stars and moons."

"Why?"

"Because they all want to drive the stars and moons, because ...... They are pathetic, as pathetic as I used to be. ”

"Okay."

No one knows how uncomfortable Ji Xinghe felt when he agreed, just like no one knew that Ji Rong Xinyue hid in the corner last night and used her bracelet to contact Xingyue who was in the machine repair area, and seriously asked Xingyue if she was willing.

Of course, Xingyue will say yes, because this is an order from Ji Rong Xinyue, and it unconditionally obeys all of Ji Rong Xinyue's orders, which is one of the meanings of its existence.

Everything went smoothly, and Ji Rong Xinyue, who commanded the children to take turns to experience the mecha, didn't seem to be unhappy at all.

But, is this really Ji Rong Xinyue's birthday gift?

Is she really happy?

Ji Xinghe, who was working on a mechanic, did not disrupt his work rhythm because of these thoughts, his hands were very stable, his work efficiency was still very high, and he also made a decision.

Time passed little by little, and the children finally took turns to experience the feeling of 'driving' the mech, which made them extremely emotional.

Ji Rong Xinyue looked at Ji Xinghe's work progress and made another decision, she asked these children to take turns piloting the mecha again.

"Disbanded."

After taking turns twice, it was already dinner time, and the children were a little reluctant to go to the cafeteria to eat, but Ji Rong Xinyue didn't go, she had to wait for her grandfather to go to eat together.

Ji Xinghe stopped what he was doing, and then walked to Ji Rong Xinyue, who was standing next to Xingyue.

"Want to go up and try it?"

"No, grandpa, I can drive Xingyue every day. Let's go to work, and we'll go to dinner together when we're done. ”

"When I say go up, I mean go up."

"Huh?"

Ji Rong Xinyue was stunned, she knew that the living base was underground, so the meaning of going to the top was ......

"Want to go?"

"Yes."

Ji Rong Xinyue laughed happily, followed Ji Xinghe into Xingyue's cockpit, and sat in her exclusive seat. This is still her exclusive place, because only when she sits here, Xingyue has a real driver.

Ji Xinghe, the designer and builder of Xingyue, is also just a temporary driver, a driver.

When Xingyue left the base with her grandfather and grandson and appeared on the surface of the alien land, in the cafeteria of Base 5, Shen Mu, Su He and others, who had prepared a birthday cake, did not know.

"Su He, don't you follow Lao Ji every day, you say, what are Lao Ji and Xinxin doing, why don't you come to dinner."

"It's not that you asked me to come over and help you prepare the birthday party, or I wouldn't know what Lao Ji and Xinxin are doing."

"I'm asking you to help? It's not that I don't have time to prepare for my heavy work tasks, what do you see you are preparing? ”

"You mean I'm idle, so I'll go?"
