Chapter 227: Belief and Superstition
"Is there any news from Major Ji Xinghe?"
"Not yet."
"Yes."
Such questions and answers have appeared many times in recent days and have happened in many places.
Someone at Base 6 asked, someone at Base 3, someone at Base 5, and the Space Battleship Xinyue Fox, the Aquape Space Battleship, and some places on the Nantianmen Space Station and Azure Star.
There is a delay in communication between Azure and alien stars, and the delay time for two-way communication is about 6 minutes and 20 seconds when the two planets are closest to each other.
And in the case of the two planets being the farthest apart, this delay increases to fifty minutes.
Because the existing communication technology of the federation still uses electromagnetic waves, and the speed of electromagnetic waves is equal to the speed of light, which can be calculated according to the speed of 300,000 kilometers per second.
This is one of the reasons why the command center is on the Nantianmen space station, not on the federal mainland, and the two-way communication delay of six minutes and twenty seconds is fatal for the war.
Therefore, when Ji Xinghe finally had news, some places on the Azure Star were the last to receive the news.
"Report, we have contacted Major Ji Xinghe, his current location is 430 kilometers away from Base 5 and 720 kilometers away from Base 6, there is a certain degree of yaw, we have completed the correction of the route, and the relevant data has been sent."
The first to contact Ji Xinghe was not the No. 5 base that was closer to him, but the No. 6 base that was in the middle of the war.
The commander hurriedly asked, "Is it possible to communicate with him?" ”
"Communication has been cut off."
"How is he?"
"Major Ji Xinghe is fine, his physical condition is very good, in addition to his own description, we also got the monitoring data of his physical condition from the Lone Yong."
"That's good."
Although the commander and many people are not very worried about the safety of Ji Xinghe this time, what if?
It's not that the ace mecha warrior will not fall, otherwise, how could Ji Xinghe become the tenth active federal ace mecha warrior?
After more than 20 years of war, a hundred people could not fight.
After the commander breathed a sigh of relief, his tone relaxed and asked, "Did he say anything?" ”
Hearing this, the correspondent's expression became strange.
"Major Ji Xinghe said that he is being tracked by two hundred Imperial mechs."
"Well, well?"
The commander's eyes widened instantly, his mind went blank, and it took a while for him to finally come to his senses.
"Hurry up, quickly mobilize the mecha team to support Lao Ji."
In the past few days, the commanders of Base Six and the mecha warriors have felt that the strength of the Empire's attack on Base Six this time is not quite right, and the number is a little less than previously expected.
But they didn't think much of it, and thought that it was the death of Belrossi IV and the fighting at Base 3 that caused a change in the Empire's troop arrangement.
Now the commander finally understood that Ji Xinghe had indeed attracted some of the Imperial mechs, but there were more than anyone had expected.
The pursuit of two hundred imperial mechas, it is impossible for ace mecha warriors to resist, and Ji Xinghe does not have an exclusive custom mecha in the real sense, and the lonely brave piloted is indeed very strong, but in a sense, it is a 'defective product'.
"We made this request, but Major Ji Xinghe refused."
"Refusal? This old man. The commander said with some anger: "It's his business to refuse, it's our business whether we support or not, immediately mobilize six mecha teams for me, en...... Transfer the Galaxy team over as well. ”
In terms of numbers, a mecha squad of six or seven federations could not be an opponent of two hundred imperial mechs. But with their help, Ji Xinghe, the ace mecha warrior, can be liberated to a great extent.
Some hit.
"But......" The correspondent swallowed before he said to the commander, "However, Major Ji Xinghe said that he is ready to start a counter-chase and not let us add a burden to him." ”
"Anti-chase? Encumbrance? The commander's expression was extremely stunned: "He is alone, and he wants to hunt down and kill two hundred imperial mechas?" Did you hear it wrong? ”
"No, we definitely didn't hear it wrong, and we analyzed the recording afterwards and confirmed what Major Ji Xinghe said."
The commander subconsciously wanted to say something, but suddenly stopped, frowned and asked, "Is there anything else that you didn't tell me?" ”
The correspondent coughed dryly: "Yes, the battle records of Major Ji Xinghe in the previous four days have all been sent back. We have confirmed that the number of Venus stars for Major Ji Xinghe has increased from 142 when he left the base to 242 when communications were lost. ”
What is 242 minus 142?
This kind of kindergarten-level question didn't need to be thought about at all for the commander of Base Six, but he silently calculated in his heart for a long, long time, and his expression gradually changed to consternation, then ecstasy, then incomprehension, and finally a heartfelt smile.
"Then I won't support it, otherwise, this miracle that is destined to invigorate the whole Federation will have more regrets in vain."
"Yes."
The commander groaned slightly, and then asked, "What is Chen Xun doing now?" ”
The correspondent immediately inquired, and then replied: "I just came back with the Galaxy team to rest, and they got a total of twelve gold stars in this battle. ”
"Help me contact Chen Xun."
"Yes."
The communication was quickly established, and the commander looked at Chen Xun who appeared on the screen with a serious expression, which made Chen Xun's expression suddenly nervous.
"Chen Xun." The commander said in a serious voice: "Now there are two hundred imperial mechs chasing and killing Lao Ji, seven hundred and twenty kilometers away from our base. ”
Chen Xun's nervous expression instantly relaxed, not the worst news.
"Sir, can I bring the Galaxy team over to support?"
"No, you can't." The commander sternly refused.
Chen Xun raised his eyebrows: "Why?" ”
The commander kept a stern expression and asked rhetorically, "Do you know why there are two hundred Imperial mechs chasing and killing Lao Ji?" ”
This question made Chen Xun nervous again, and in an instant, he made up countless conspiracies and tricks, intrigues between human beings, and those treacherous schemes that plotted to kill Zhongliang throughout the ages......
But in the end, only three words came out.
"Why?"
The commander laughed in his heart, because Chen Xun asked these three words, his voice trembled a little.
But he remained stern and replied in a heavy tone.
Gu oxime
"Because, Lao Ji has broken a hundred Imperial mechas."
Chen Xun, who thought too much, had a misunderstanding: "Because Lao Ji has become a trump card, so they want to hunt down Lao Ji, so should we support more?" Do you want to watch the ten ace mecha warriors in active service become nine again? ”
"No, no, no."
The commander noticed the change in Chen Xun's expression, as well as the members of the Galaxy team gathered behind Chen Xun, and finally didn't dare to make any more trouble.
"I mean, because Lao Ji broke a hundred Imperial mechs, there are only two hundred Imperial mechs chasing him now. Well, yes, it was three hundred Imperial mechs that were chasing and killing Lao Ji before, and Lao Ji is now unharmed, and the mecha is not actually damaged. ”
Chen Xun, who was expressionless, felt a chill in the heart of the commander staring at the screen.
"Interesting?"
"Interesting." The commander was not afraid, and laughed and said: "When you were engaged in things before, you didn't even tell me a word, which scared me a lot. I'm reporting it back now, it's so interesting. ”
The communication was interrupted, and it was Chen Xun who directly hung up the commander's communication.
"No jokes." The commander was in a good mood, and he was not annoyed after being hung up by his subordinates, and said to the correspondent with a smile: "Try to help me contact Jackson, and if he is idle, apply for communication with him." ”
He was going to ask Jackson the 'serious' questions he had just asked Chen Xun again, because Jackson had also scared him at that time.
An ace mecha warrior is in an armor-piercing state inside the base, and he doesn't want to come down anyway, but it's too scary.
Chen Xun talked to everyone in the Galaxy Squad about the good news.
That's good news, otherwise he would have led people out of Base Six by now.
"242?"
The blind man looked at his mech, after participating in the Ace Mecha Warrior Creation Program, he had obtained more Venus Stars than other Mecha Warriors, but as of now, the number of Venus Stars he had was only sixty-seven.
And as the number of Venus increases, the speed and difficulty of obtaining Venus on the battlefield are much greater than before. When those noble mechs of the empire saw him, they were like sharks that smelled blood.
If it weren't for the custom modification of the mecha he was piloting now, and the Starship team and the other two mecha teams had been helping, he might not have survived now.
"I said a long time ago, their broken plan is not reliable, and I and the blind man don't have so much combined."
The cripple complained with relief, his current number of Venus is less than that of the blind man, and it has only reached fifty-two today.
As one of the candidates for the Ace Mech Warrior Build Project, it will take at least two months to complete the plan.
And he also encountered the same problems as the blind man.
"You two add up, and then multiply by two, it's not enough."
The only person who can say this kind of thing is Su Chuanyun, the general of the Niuma team of the Xinghe team, Niuma is his code name, and the general is a title he forcibly added.
"Lao Ji is really fierce."
"Yes, you say, will Lao Ji destroy all the remaining two hundred imperial mechas?"
"Do you need to ask? Definitely. ”
"Yes, three hundred planes chased and killed Lao Ji together, but one hundred were killed by Lao Ji, what is the remaining two hundred?"
"Damn, one person can break three hundred imperial mechas, and he is being chased and killed by three hundred imperial mechas, and he is isolated, General Li Yuanba can't do it."
"I think that when Lao Ji returns to Base Five, he will be the strongest mecha warrior in the Federation."
"Well, don't tell anyone else this, General Li Yuanba has many more supporters than Lao Ji."
Andrei anxiously asked, "What does it mean to have dun?" ”
"What it means to be an avid fan."
"Oh, that's right."
Half a month ago, their reaction was definitely not what it is now, because at that time, Ji Xinghe had not yet become an ace mecha warrior, there were only more than forty gold stars, and there was no mountain chopping number, no mountain chopping number.
And now Ji Xinghe is driving the Lonely Brave, which is the most powerful mecha that Ji Xinghe has ever piloted, and at the same time has the most powerful bayonet gun as a weapon.
The mecha warriors of the Galaxy squad were in a very happy mood, only Chen Xun, who was not a mecha warrior, frowned when everyone was discussing.
"Lao Chen, what's wrong?"
The blind man was the first to notice this, and asked with a furrow on his brow.
Chen Xun hesitated slightly, but still expressed his worries: "The dust storm is almost over, if there is no dust storm......
The mecha warriors of the Galaxy Squad instantly froze their expressions.
As mecha warriors, they know too well what the biggest advantage of Ji Xinghe alone is in this kind of chase and anti-hunting battle.
When visibility is no longer limited to a hundred meters, and there is no dust storm to cover the footprints left by the mechs as they march, there is no other way but to run for their lives in the face of the pursuit of two hundred Imperial mechs.
"Let's apply for support for Lao Ji, he has already broken a hundred planes, which is enough."
"Hurry to march, we will be able to reach and join Lao Ji in eight hours at most, the dust storm can't end in eight hours, right?"
The people of the Xinghe team, who had just been elated, suddenly became nervous, and the atmosphere changed from relaxed and cheerful to dignified.
"Nope." Chen Xun took a deep breath: "Lao Ji didn't call for support, which means that he knows in his heart, and we should believe him." Moreover, if the dust storm disappears, you can mobilize space battleships to support him, and the support effect of space battleships is much better than ours. ”
"What if the space warships are pinned down by then?"
"Then there is also a high-altitude reconnaissance satellite, which can also provide intelligence support to Lao Ji at that time, so that he can accurately avoid the tracking of the imperial mecha, as well as the orbital airborne mecha corps."
"But ......"
"Lao Ji is now an ace, and his identity is no longer the same. It's time for us to think and deal with problems in a different way. ”
"It makes sense, I don't believe they dare to do something to Lao Ji."
"There's something wrong, trump card, with one enemy and three hundred, what kind of black hand. If you want me to say that you just think too much, it's all this mess every day, and it's annoying. ”
Su Chuanyun scolded loudly, attracting everyone's attention and then said loudly: "If you want me to say, in a word, I believe that Lao Ji will be finished." I believe in Lao Ji anyway. In the name of the galaxy, the battle is invincible. ”
Everyone in the galaxy team was silent for a moment, and then shouted at the same time.
"In the name of the galaxy, the battle is invincible."
What they didn't realize was that they didn't just believe in Ji Xinghe.
To be precise, the word superstition should be used.
