"Because of age?"

"Yes, because of age."

Tu Yuan and the staff officers around him were silent, because no one could change Ji Xinghe's age.

When we talk about the neural link system, we can't talk about the nervous system.

The nervous system is a system that plays a leading role in the regulation of physiological functions and activities in the body, which is mainly composed of nervous tissues and is divided into two parts: the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system. The central nervous system includes the brain and spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous system includes cranial nerves and spinal nerves.

The central nervous system is the main part of the nervous system, and its main function is to transmit, store and process information, produce various mental activities, and dominate and control all animal behaviors.

Both humans and orangutans are animals and both possess a nervous system. From the perspective of piloting a mecha, the human nervous system governs the human body to perform various behaviors, and these behaviors ultimately govern the various behaviors of the mecha through the mecha's driving system.

To summarize simply: a person generates an idea, which is executed by the human body, and the operation performed acts on the driving system of the mecha, and the driving system understands the human idea, and finally executes it by the mecha.

The whole process is actually very short, but sometimes it is a fraction of a second, and a time error of less than a second is enough to determine victory or defeat, life and death.

Therefore, the Federal Academy of Sciences and various research institutions wanted to simplify this process as much as possible, so there was a neural link system.

In short, the nervous system in the human body is directly connected to the operating system of the mecha, which can not only shorten the time to operate the ready-made maneuvering action, but also make the operation more accurate and effective, so that the driver can control the mecha as if he were controlling his own body.

"When people get old, the nervous system will degenerate, Ji Xinghe has practiced kung fu for fifty-five years, so that his body can be on par with young people, but when the neural link system can be really applied, his body can't bear it, and his operation is not as good as the first-level mecha warrior who uses neural link technology......"

Tu Yuan sighed, Of course this is good news, it is impossible for Eagle Continent to hide this technology, just like Long Continent has shared a lot of technology before, in order to win the conversion into that war, the continents of the Federation must be closely united.

But for Ji Xinghe, this is not good news.

"In terms of age, among all the current super-level mecha warriors, only Lieutenant Ji Xinghe may not be able to use this technology to pilot the mecha, which means that the strength of all super-level mecha will be improved, and our top-level combat power can be equal to the empire, while Lieutenant Ji Xinghe's strength can only stand still. Even, it will be weaker than the current first-level mecha warriors. ”

After Tu Yuan's staff officers finished speaking, they couldn't help but sigh.

Becoming the weakest of the super-mecha warriors is actually nothing, and the super-grade is still the super-class. But when more than a thousand first-level mecha warriors have a qualitative improvement in strength because of the technology of the neural link system, Ji Xinghe will no longer be a real special-grade.

He has enough Venus, but his strength is not enough.

"The resources for manufacturing mechas are limited, and the resources for strengthening standard mechas are also limited, and Ji Xinghe, who can't use this technology, will be abandoned, so he chose the merit calculation method of asking for contribution points, the purpose is to create his own mecha, including future repairs and upgrades. But ......" Tu Yuan frowned and asked, "Ji Xinghe has no reason to know about this." ”

His staff officer guessed, "Could it be Lieutenant Shen Mu?" He studied at the Federal Academy of Sciences, and perhaps he saw the process of experimentation at that time, and deduced from this technology when it could be used? ”

Someone next to him had already inquired and said loudly: "Lieutenant Ji Xinghe has applied for the transformation of a holographic glass, which uses a neural link-like technology, and the application time is exactly when the permission to use this technology is unlocked. From Lieutenant Ji Xinghe's professional point of view, it is possible that he has analyzed the more advanced technology and made a breakthrough by himself, otherwise the existing technology would not have unlocked the permission. ”

Tu Yuan was a little surprised: "Holographic glasses? ”

"Yes, it's for Ji Rong Xinyue." The relevant person replied: "According to Xingyue's driving records, Ji Rongxinyue has driven Xingyue alone many times under the leadership of Ji Xinghe, which is illegal in itself, but because Xingyue was made by Ji Xinghe himself, no one cares." ”

"Six-year-old, driving a mech?" Tu Yuan took a deep breath: "This Ji Xinghe can always do something unexpected. ”

"yes, it's surprising that he rejected the Ace Warrior Creation Plan." The staff officer said: "After that, the relevant parties already have a big opinion about him. And there are some people in Eagle Continent who don't want to finally complete this plan The mecha warriors are our Longzhou people, because this time it is not simply to create an ace mecha warrior, but also to shape it into a hero of the whole federation and be awarded the rank of general. In the case that we already have General Li Yuanba......"

"Politics, huh." Tu Yuan sneered twice: "The reason why they chose Ji Xinghe is because Ji Xinghe is too old, and he has to retire even if he gets the rank of general, so those people are very dissatisfied when Ji Xinghe refuses." But later they found out that Ji Xinghe, who was in good health, might live for a long time if nothing else, and be able to serve for many years, and after refusing to build the plan, he could still rely on his own strength to continuously obtain gold stars and meritorious deeds. If Ji Xinghe becomes an ace mecha warrior independently, then it will not be controlled by anyone, so ...... They chose to suppress Ji Xinghe. ”

The staff officer asked, "Then let me remind Lieutenant Ji Xinghe?" ”

"No need, he should know very well that people are old and fine, and I have already discovered that Ji Xinghe is much smarter than I imagined." Tu Yuan said with some sighs: "When I knew that he was going to steal a single starship with a kitchen knife at home, I thought he was just a reckless man, no, a reckless old man." ”

The staff officer laughed and said, "He wanted to fight you at the beginning, I think he was too sad at the time and lost some of his mind." By now, his sanity should have returned. ”

"For the sake of his granddaughter, his sanity will definitely come back and be able to maintain it for a long time." Tu Yuan didn't want to mention this matter, and said: "You don't need to tell him about this matter, but you can talk to the war correspondent named Su He." ”

"Understood. Su He should remind Lieutenant Ji Xinghe that his words are easier for Lieutenant Ji Xinghe to listen to than ours. ”

"Yes."

……

Ji Xinghe came to the barracks for the first time, and he couldn't leave immediately after the orbital airborne combat mission, because he couldn't directly drive his mecha back to the No. 5 living base, and he needed to wait for the corresponding transportation resources to take a hitchhiker, a hitchhiker spaceship or something.

The individual starship that sent him from Base 5 to space did not appear after he finished his combat mission, because the individual starship was also a scarce resource when the empire was in full attack, and it needed to be used in more critical places.

Ji Xinghe didn't have any opinion on this, he already knew about it before he came.

The structure of the barracks is completely different from the living base, the biggest difference is that the living base is underground, while the barracks are directly built on the surface of the alien planet.

There are many types of buildings, and buildings similar to tents are generally used as resting places for soldiers, and they are equipped with oxygen supply devices, thermostatic devices, and so on. Single-storey buildings that look entirely made of metal look like large shipping containers, with a much larger footprint than tents, and are generally used as repair areas, storage areas, and other functional areas.

On the whole, it doesn't look much different from the temporary barracks on the Azure Star, except that each building must be equipped with oxygen supply devices and thermostatic devices, and there are many trenches and fortresses on the periphery of the barracks.

The most important of these is the air defense facilities, the location of the barracks is difficult to keep secret, and long-range attacks by the empire can appear at any time. In the same way, the location of the Empire's military camps on alien planets is almost entirely under the control of the Federation, and from time to time it will also be attacked by using long-range fire systems or air strikes.

The effect is actually not good, because the technical level of the air defense systems of the Federation and the Empire is very high, and the barracks are the top priority of defense, so the real victory or defeat of the battle still depends on the advance of the ground forces. But the air raid is still an air raid, it can't kill those orangutans, and it can't let them rest well, and the Empire has the same attitude towards the Federation.

Fortunately, both sides will not easily use nuclear weapons, and the damage to the environment caused by nuclear radiation will be magnified many times on the alien planet, because the alien ecosystem is almost non-existent, and it does not have the ability to self-regulate and repair at all.

Staying in an environment with nuclear radiation for a long time is not a good thing for both humans and orangutans. Spacesuits and protective clothing cannot completely block nuclear radiation, let alone wear them all the time, and the relevant buildings of living bases and military camps cannot completely block radiation.

"Lieutenant Ji Xinghe, please pilot the mecha to the seventh machine repair area."

According to the relevant instructions, Ji Xinghe took all the members of his Xinghe team to the No. 7 machine repair area, which is a metal house covering an area of more than 1,000 square meters, with only one floor and a height of nine meters.

Through the metal gate, enter the airlock cabin similar to a spaceship, and wait for the air to fill before all members of the galaxy team enter the interior of the operation area, its structure looks no different from the machine repair area of the living base, and the area of more than 1,000 square meters is divided into many independent operation areas.

"Boss, you can get straight down from the cockpit when you get to your operation area, remember to wear a helmet, because you may encounter an air attack at any time, or you need to fight. If you don't wear a helmet, you can get into trouble if the wall is broken. ”

The blind man and others reminded them very experiencedly that each of them had to go to a different operating area to cooperate with the mechanic to repair and inspect their respective mechs to ensure that they were in an intact state, and the nuclear fuel cell also needed to be charged.

"Okay."

Ji Xinghe drove his mecha to the assigned operation area, jumped directly from the cockpit, and took the helmet of the piloting mecha, which took into account the function of oxygen supply.

"That...... Cough. The mechanic in the operation area, or the mechanic who should be called the mechanic, said with some embarrassment: "Lieutenant Ji, can you go back to the cockpit and control your mecha to put down that mecha heavy sword?" ”

Ji Xinghe's mecha had been holding the sword from the Imperial Earl's mecha, which was his trophy, so he shook his head: "No need to put it down, my mecha has no substantial damage, especially my hands." ”

The mechanic was a little surprised, because it sounded like Ji Xinghe's voice was very old, but he didn't think much about it, and said helplessly: "According to the regulations, we must complete all the tests, and if we don't put down the weapon, we can't complete all the tests." You are a special mecha warrior, and you must be very proficient in piloting mechas, but you don't know as well as us about the inspection and maintenance of mechas, so please trust us. ”

Ji Xinghe was stunned for a moment, and he suddenly remembered that not everyone knew and knew him, especially people who had never been in contact with him on another planet, because of communication and distance, the spread of news was sometimes very fast, and sometimes it was very slow.

I'm a little arrogant.

"Ahem." Ji Xinghe was also a little embarrassed, and said with a dry cough: "Actually, I am a professional-level mechanic, and I am in charge of an operation area separately in the No. 5 and No. 6 living bases. ”

"Huh?"

The mechanics in the operation area were stunned, they really didn't know Ji Xinghe, they only knew that this was a special mecha warrior with forty-five gold stars, and the task they received was to help Ji Xinghe's mecha spray four more gold stars. How can such a warrior be a mechanic, can he have both fish and bear's paws?

"But......" They still didn't believe it, but they didn't know what to say, and they all maintained respect in the face of the mechfighters.

Ji Xinghe groaned slightly, and took off his helmet in front of the mechanics, and it was not easy to carry out the maintenance and inspection operations of the mecha when he wore the helmet.

This action made the mechanics stunned, because they saw an old man, an old man who should not be here.

"I'll do it myself, you can apply for another maintenance job. By the way, I may have to stay here for a while for the time being, if I don't have a combat mission...... Do you have extra operating areas here? I can be in charge of one, I can do it alone. ”

Ji Xinghe couldn't be idle, and he didn't want to give up his loot because he knew he was being suppressed.
