After the loud question, the matter was not resolved because of this, it seemed that it was determined that even without this holy crystal, Ji Xinghe and the independent regiment led by Ji Xinghe would inevitably take on the most dangerous combat mission.

This made Lao Liu really mad, and his temper has actually been very good.

Five years ago, when Ji Xinghe first arrived at the No. 6 base where he was located, he was just a regular maintenance technician from an auto mechanic, and he didn't even have the qualifications to enter the machine repair area.

And it's really old, in people's eyes, even if you have a certificate of eighth-level fitter, it is difficult to adapt to the work intensity of the machine repair area, and it is impossible to complete the corresponding work requirements if you have never been exposed to real mecha maintenance operations.

But Ji Xinghe proposed to repair important mecha parts, which is absolutely nonsense in the eyes of many people.

Lao Liu, who was already the person in charge of the operation area at that time, was fully qualified and powerful to drive Ji Xinghe out of the machine repair area.

But he didn't do that, but gave Ji Xinghe a chance, maybe because Ji Xinghe said a few words at that time.

"Why don't you let me try?"

"Your grandfather was able to become an eighth-level fitter back then because his strength was only at the level of an eighth-level fitter, and the reason why I was an eighth-level fitter was because the highest level of a fitter was only eighth."

"If the Federation has a ninth-level fitter exam, there must be one person who can pass in the whole Federation."

"Comrade Xiao Liu, I'm not asking you to give me a chance, but I'm giving you a chance."

It turns out that Ji Xinghe is telling the truth.

The federation has now reinstated the system of fitter grading examinations, and has revised the system from the highest eight-level fitter to the highest nine-level fitter system. And Ji Xinghe is currently the only ninth-level fitter in the whole federation.

Regarding this period of the past, many people think that Lao Liu Hui sees heroes, and Lao Liu has said to others more than once: "Some people say that I gave Lao Ji a chance because I saw my grandfather's face at that time." This statement is true, but it is not entirely true. The real reason why I agreed at the time was ......

It was I who felt Lao Ji's belief, and his eyes told me that he could do what he said. ”

Such high-sounding words are not uncommon in legendary stories.

It is also not uncommon that the real reason why Lao Liu agreed at that time is that no one in the world knows it except for him so far.

When his grandfather was dying last year, he didn't tell the truth in the video message he sent back. Instead, he said to his grandfather: Grandpa, if you hadn't mentioned Ji Xinghe to me, perhaps, the Federation would have missed Ji Xinghe.

Lao Liu's grandfather, Liu Daoxing, closed his eyes with relief because of this.

However, the real reason is actually very simple, Lao Liu, who was in his forties at the time, although he was engaged in physical work all the year round and was physically strong, he could face Ji Xinghe, who was more than 1.9 meters tall and lean but gave people a sense of might.

He was afraid of being beaten and touching porcelain.

So he agreed, and then Ji Xinghe started his legendary life from an auto mechanic to a mechanic, and as a mechanic.

Whenever he thinks back on the past, Lao Liu is always very pleased: he doesn't feel that he was cowardly at that time, and cowardice has the benefit of cowardice.

From a factual point of view, the current Federation Lieutenant General Ji Xinghe, the strongest mecha warrior in the Federation, Ji Xinghe, and the old father of 300,000 Federation mecha warriors, Ji Xinghe......

Once, just a mechanic under him.

No, it should be said that he is a mechanic under his hands, because Ji Xinghe at the beginning did not have the ability and authority to independently repair mechas, so he could not be called a mechanic.

Ji Xinghe is my person.

Lao Liu, who came to this conclusion, had the mentality of protecting the calf, and he looked at Yang Antai, the three-star general of the Federation, and the commander of the Gods Mountain Theater. He looked at the officers of the General Headquarters who came down from the Nantianmen Space Station and had the rank of colonel......

These people are still holding on.

And so the anger swelled.

You, the things you want to steal, are the ones who should belong to me.

The maintenance tool that Lao Liu held in his hand no longer looked like a weapon, but really turned into a weapon, waving it with Lao Liu's excited roar.

With the same maintenance tools in his hands, and the same subconscious use of tools as weapons, Shen Mu, who was also angry, suddenly panicked.

"Lao Liu!"

Shen Mu jumped directly from the four-meter-high operation frame, and landed smoothly beside Lao Liu, reaching out to stop him.

But Lao Liu, who had a good temper, was completely out of control at this time, which made Shen Mu even more panicked.

As a lieutenant colonel mechanic who has refused the invitation of the Federal Academy of Sciences for further study three times, Shen Mu's talent has been fully demonstrated in terms of mechanics, mecha design, and weapon manufacturing, etc., through the Final Fortress, Six Reincarnations, Andre 2093 Electromagnetic Rifle, etc.

But Lao Liu ......

Well, the gap between a mechanic and a mechanic is sometimes bigger than the gap between a man and a dog.

This is not to insult Lao Liu, but to illustrate a fact.

It's like the gap between a MechWarrior and a MechWarrior, like the gap between a human and an ant.

There are some things that you really can't change with hard work.

Seeing that Lao Liu suddenly went berserk, Yang Antai frowned a little worriedly, and the colonel's officer of Nantianmen flickered in his eyes, as if he had found an opportunity, and because of some reason or his inner insistence, he was entangled in whether he wanted to seize this opportunity.

Each person has his own ideas and ideas.

Lao Liu and Shen Mu insisted, how could others not have it at all?

Different identity functions make different choices for each person, so the argument will turn into a contradiction, or even a direct conflict.

"Let me say a few words?"

When a somewhat tired voice sounded, Lao Liu and Shen Mu both quieted down, and some of the people who were eager to try also stopped.

The person who spoke was not present, but just his voice, which was enough for everyone to listen attentively.

I don't know if he saw the scene of the upcoming conflict, the silence that appeared because of his voice. It's like I don't care about these things and am sure of something.

The tired voice continued to sound without waiting for a response.

"If you can research something through this Saint Crystal within a week, just take it.

If not, I'll give you some information in a week's time, or tell you to take the Crystal.

Don't worry about the Holy Crystal being destroyed by me, I'm just a little injured, I'm not dead, just grab a few more.

Still have questions? ”

Yang Antai listened to the familiar content that he had heard half an hour ago, and suddenly laughed.

I'm just hurt, not dead.

It turns out that this sentence is not a lame man pretending to pass on the holy decree, but really comes from the mouth of Ji Xinghe.

This old man.

"Okay, a week."

Yang Antai, as the person with the highest military rank on the scene, ignored the relevant personnel of Nantianmen and directly agreed.

With Ji Xinghe's words, as well as Yang Antai's statement, there is no controversy about the ownership of this holy crystal, and Nantianmen, who wants it very much, can only wait patiently for a week.

As for whether Ji Xinghe can learn any useful information through this holy crystal, it is not affiliated with Nantianmen, but under the scientific research team of the Federal Academy of Sciences, although he has some expectations, he does not believe it very much.

Gathering the power of the entire Federal Academy of Sciences, he spent an unknown amount of resources, and he failed to find any valuable information from the Holy Crystal, even if Ji Xinghe had the opportunity to be invited by the president of the Federal Academy of Sciences to be an academician, it did not mean that he was really a great scientist.

The sudden incident was solved again, and Ji Xinghe, who had already spoken to Ji Rong Xinyue, could finally rest well.

Lao Liu's temper disappeared, and at this time, recalling the impulse just now, as well as the possible consequences, he smiled at Shen Mu with some embarrassment.

Shen Mu didn't mean to blame Lao Liu, he could understand Lao Liu's mood very well.

As he said before, a mecha warrior like Ji Xinghe doesn't have the strongest mecha pilot, it's all his fault, and now it's Lao Liu's fault.

But Shen Mu was still angry.

"Cripple, why didn't I find out that you still have the ability to be a long-tongued woman, tell the old man everything, you don't know what the old man needs most now?"

As a mechanic of the independent regiment, leading the mechanic team including Lao Liu, Shen Mu did not have the slightest politeness in the face of an ace mecha warrior like a lame.

Because he is actually the quartermaster of the independent regiment, he can be regarded as the general manager of logistics and equipment, and it is only because Shen Mu prefers the identity of a mechanic that he does not receive those positions that sound more authoritative.

What happened to Ace MechWarrior? You don't need to repair mechs, you don't need new weapons.

"What the old man needs the most, isn't everyone a little more peaceful?"

The cripple also said without the slightest politeness: "It's still fighting, one by one they know how to cause trouble, and those who don't know think we've won." ”

"Hehe, I can't keep the Holy Crystal, why did the old man take you to kill?"

"Do you need to protect it this way? I think you're a mecha repairer, and you have to stand up and compete with them when you can let the old man solve it in one sentence, isn't this giving them a chance to find us? ”

Shen Mu and Lao Liu both had to admit that what the cripple said made a lot of sense.

But Shen Mu was not convinced, and his tone was even more angry.

"It's been three years, and if you encounter anything, you still have to let the old man be at the front, you are very honorable? I don't feel honored, I feel ashamed. ”

The cripple was fucked silent.

Shen Mu was also silenced by himself, because what he said was too heavy, and Lao Liu, who was still laughing embarrassedly just now, was already glaring at him angrily at this time.

"Cripple, don't care what Shen Mu said, he was angry just now, and his brain may have entered the water."

After all, he is old, and Lao Liu's words are not very effective for Nantianmen, but he is still very good in the independent regiment.

"I know, he's right." The lame man's tone was a little gloomy: "If we can all be stronger, the old man won't have to work so hard." ”

The communication channel fell silent again.

Shen Mu knew that he had said the wrong thing, but instead of apologizing, he asked, "Cripple, do you want to be stronger?" ”

"Nonsense."

"Are you afraid of death?"

"Shen Mu, believe it or not, Lao Tzu is going to smoke you."

"I can make you stronger."

"So what the are you waiting for?"

"I'm waiting for me to lose my bottom line as a person, and I'm waiting for someone to be willing to give up being a person."

“……”

As a cripple who is an ace mecha warrior, how can he really not know anything? Shen Mu's words made him think of something, about the application of certain scientific and technological achievements of the Federation.

"I don't quite understand why the Royal Guards Mecha Battalion of the Empire hasn't participated in the war until now."

The cripple suddenly spoke of a seemingly unrelated question, which no one could answer him.

"But I think they're always going to fight, because we're going to be able to hit the Imperial Star, so ......"

"Wait." Lao Liu suddenly said loudly: "There is still some time, you can think about it again, and I think the old man will not agree." ”

The cripple burst out laughing, but his laughter didn't ring out in the communication channel.

The left hand standing next to the lame man, because he was not connected to this communication channel, could not hear the words that the cripple heard, and at this time looked at the lame man who laughed inexplicably, and only felt inexplicable.

Speaking of the Imperial Royal Mecha Guard Battalion, what are you laughing at?

"It's my choice, no one can interfere with me, not even the old man."

The lame man took a deep breath, the smile on his face retracted, his eyes were firm, and he said in a sincere tone: "Shen Mu, help me, I'm not a human being." ”

The left hand was stunned for a moment, then realized.

"Are you crazy?"

The cripple ignored his left hand, waiting for a voice.

Lao Liu wanted to persuade, but after all, he couldn't say anything, because he had no reason to stop it, and the others did their best for this war, as if no one could stop him.

He is almost fifty years old, but he has actually received a proposal to leave the army, and his physical condition has declined due to his age, so that he can no longer adapt to the alien environment. If he stays any longer, he will definitely lower the average life expectancy of the Federation.

But he refused, and he didn't rely on the relationship, and asked Ji Xinghe to give him a gift.

He just wants to do what he can, just wants to help the Federation, to help the former humanity win this war, is it wrong?

The cripple's choice, Shenmu's proposal, are all the same.

Is there something wrong?

Shen Mu was silent for a moment after the lame man answered.

He said.

"Good!"
