Chapter 63 About Venus

In the sound of ka-cha, Ji Xinghe’s mecha hatch opened because it had been excluded in advance The air in the cockpit was removed, so there was no airflow fluctuation, and he had an hour of activity with his protective helmet on.

Oxygen supply is one aspect, and the light and thin protective clothing specially designed for mecha warriors provides relatively weak protection.

The protective suit of more than ten kilograms is light on Ji Xinghe’s body. He jumped out of the cockpit without even leaving obvious footprints. The green indicator light on his body represents his current state. Very good, and when the indicator light turns red, it means that there is a problem with his physical condition, or his activity time is running out.

Cripple helped out in his mecha, turning on the lights on the mecha, allowing Ji Xinghe to work at the bottom of the dim canyon.

“Old Ji, why don’t I drag that imperial mecha over here, so that you will have to pierce the armor and then go to unarmor for a while, which is very troublesome. However, you can dismantle it in an hour. Drop three mechas? Just a small toolbox.”

“No.”

Ji Xinghe’s toolbox is not small, cripple says it’s small because he drives a mecha , if it’s really small, Ji Xinghe wouldn’t unload the toolbox from the mount point behind the mecha first when he was about to start fighting.

Originally, he prepared a toolbox to take with him, because he wanted to repair the mecha for the blind mecha that may be damaged, but the blind’s mecha is intact now and naturally does not need to be repaired. Although his own mecha has some damage, it does not need to be repaired. It does not affect the use, so the toolbox that should be repairing mecha has become a toolbox for dismantling mecha.

Ji Xinghe, whose height has recovered to 1.92 meters, is still agile when wearing protective clothing. He does not look like a 65-year-old old man at all. He took out special tools from the toolbox and stood up. In cripple’s hands, the two metal palms are very stable, allowing him to come to the right height steadily and disassemble the hatch of this imperial mecha in standing form.

The imperial mecha, which was born based on the federation mecha, maximized the ability of Ji Xinghe, the unofficial mechanic of the federation. After the hatch was opened, the mecha was completely controlled by Ji Xinghe.

As soon as he grabbed the corpse of the imperial orangutan, Ji Xinghe took it out. He was not only disgusted by the living imperial orangutan, but also disgusted with the corpse of the imperial orangutan. directly into the cockpit. The only thing that can make him pay more attention is the four hands of the orangutan, which is one of the reasons why the orangutan drives mecha better than humans, and their feet are also hands.

“Wow, this is a noble orangutan.”

Cripple exclaimed and explained to Ji Xinghe.

“The strength of orangutans and their status in the empire are generally judged by their height. Ordinary imperial orangutan soldiers are only 1.6 meters to 1.8 meters tall, and orangutans over 1.8 meters are generally nobles. This orangutan is about the same height as you at 1.9 meters.”

Ji Xinghe is very professional in mechanic and combat, but not very professional in imperial orangutans, because a lot of information is unreliable. Publicly, while dismantling important parts, he asked: “Why?”

“How do I know this, anyway, those scientists said so, it seems like some kind of genetic lock or something messy. , the class of imperial orangutans is different, there will be innate restrictions on height, very few can break through such restrictions. Not only height, but also physical fitness and strength, nobles are often more powerful than ordinary orangutan soldiers.”

“So, the most powerful empire in the empire is their gorilla emperor?”

“Yeah, otherwise, why are the three gold stars on General Li’s exclusive mecha so big? Because the three Imperial Family orangutans he killed were really strong.” Cripple hesitated before continuing: “Let’s just say that Imperial Prince orangutan, the body is 2.2 meters tall, and I’m not sure how many times its strength is. But… if it weren’t for it, we should have eleven ace mecha warriors now.”

In the federation’s mecha warriors, there are always only nine ace mecha warriors, which is not actually a curse , but a sad fact. A few people have fought on the battlefield, and the ace mecha warrior has achieved success on the battlefield, and will inevitably die on the battlefield unless they choose to leave the battlefield. Fortunately, none of the federation’s ace mecha warriors was willing to leave the battlefield, and the unfortunate place is also here.

Ji Xinghe’s dismantling of the mecha had a momentary stagnation: “Why must the Venus be sprayed? Don’t people understand the truth of showing the enemy’s weakness?”

cripple sighed, he thought of the sentence that blind shouted when he was preparing to fight to the death.

“It’s okay to show the enemy’s weakness, but we are really weak. Blind and I are both Level 1 mecha warriors. Although we are both disabled, we are Genuine’s Level 1 mecha after all. warrior. But the two of us will not necessarily be able to win these three imperial mechas together. If the two of us are not disabled… we still have the strength to fight, but after being disabled, there is really no guarantee that we will win.”

“So what?”

“So, what about the mecha warriors who are weaker than us?” cripple’s voice became calm: “We are stronger than them, so we must Take on more firepower, give them a chance to survive, and give them a chance to grow. But almost everyone uses standard mecha, and the rare modification does not mean anything. Imperial mecha can’t tell who is stronger than who we are. If they are weak, they will treat them the same…Spraying Venus is not just an honor, but a duty and an obligation.”

Ji Xinghe was silent, but the movement of his hands did not stop, because the orangutans and humans The air composition needed for survival is nearly identical, so the oxygen supply inside the mecha is valuable. Nuclear fuel cells, which are almost the same as the Federation mecha, are also useful, and it is said that part of the Federation’s nuclear power technology comes from the Empire.

Apart from this, the energy transmission board, engine and other parts are also very useful, and it can be used on the federation mecha after modification. If it wasn’t for the fact that the mecha was too bulky and special vehicles could not be used to transport it deep in the canyon, both Ji Xinghe and Base No. 6 would have chosen to drag all the three imperial mechas back. Even relatively ordinary outer armor can be used as a resource after being smelted.

Because the metal that can be used in mecha is not an ordinary metal, this special alloy is not easy to manufacture on alien planets. It can be seen from the fact that there are only 50,000 mechas in service in the Federation. If it was on the Azure Star, it would be easy to build 300,000.

However, if the war happens on the blue star, the use of mecha as a war weapon is very small, because the atmospheric environment of the blue star can allow fighter jets to lift off with no difficulty. Compared with mecha, it is still Fighter bombing is more efficient. Moreover, the natural environment of the blue star is much more stable, communication satellites, positioning satellites, etc. can all play a role, and the power of precision-guided missiles can also be fully exerted.

The difference in gravity is also one aspect. If a mecha weighing several tons wants to be flexible, it must be much more difficult on the blue star than on the alien star. The most important thing is that the battle strength of ordinary soldiers can be restored to normal. After no need to wear bulky space suits, will ordinary soldiers with guns really be afraid of orangutans and monkeys with guns?

“Is it possible for an artificial intelligence program to drive a mecha and then paint it all over with Venus to attract firepower?”

“It is possible, but the consequence of doing so is the imperial orangutan We don’t believe in the Venus in us anymore, we can’t take on more responsibilities and obligations.”

“Then…” Ji Xinghe, who dismantled an imperial mecha, suddenly went back on one’s word: “Give these three gold stars to me.”

“Damn it, Old Ji, you are not authentic. You agreed to give it to me and blind.”

“As you said, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.”

“I didn’t say that, don’t think that you can sum up chicken soup for the soul casually when you are old.”

“But I’m better than you.”

“That’s because I’m lame and blind.”

“I’m blindfolded, one leg is shackled, and I hit you two.”

“This one again? I haven’t settled with you for the last time you held me by the neck. Don’t think it’s great if you can fight.”

“Yes No, let’s figure it out?”

Ji Xinghe said, has come to another imperial mecha lying on the ground, and started dismantling again.

When cripple saw Ji Xinghe with no difficulty, he threw aside the hatch with a weight of about 200kg, and his heart trembled, even in a low-gravity environment, this force is too strong ?

Is Old Ji really sixty-five?

“Hahaha, it doesn’t count, you’re my Master, how can I settle the bill with you? It’s just a joke, it’s all a joke, Venus can’t be transferred, you have a recorder, it’s you The one that belongs to you is yours. And there is an orangutan aristocrat, the merit will be even higher, and private Ji Xinghe will become the past tense.”

Ji Xinghe asked back without the slightest joy: “If it is an aristocrat, Does that mean that their mission here is important?”

cripple’s expression became solemn.
