At 1:30 AM, Jixinghe had only slept for four and a half hours, but his condition was fully restored. On the other hand, reporter Su He, who had stayed up with him, failed to wake up on time. This wasn't due to a lack of professionalism; Su He’s average sleep time while following Jixinghe had been only six hours a night. If he weren't able to catch up on sleep during the day while filming, he would have collapsed long ago.After practicing martial arts outside Jixinghe's room for half an hour, his granddaughter, who went to bed early and thus could wake up early, went for breakfast. By 7:30 AM, they arrived at the regular repair area to begin work. As usual, Jixinghe Rongxin entered the Starry Moon’s cockpit for his daily study session."Study for an hour, then come out to stretch and relax your eyes.""Don't worry, Grandpa. I'll have Starry Moon remind me.""Good, off you go.""Okay, Grandpa. You should also make sure to rest."The morning passed quickly. Su He arrived at 8:30 AM, qui

The Imperial gorilla had consistently failed to provide the Federation with the intelligence they wanted. Despite employing various interrogation methods, no significant results were achieved. When the crisis at Base Six was resolved and subsequent surveillance showed no unusual activity, the relevant personnel had given up on further interrogation.However, at that moment, the Imperial gorilla suddenly requested to meet Jing Xinghe. It didn’t know Jing Xinghe personally, so it referred to the mech warrior who had defeated it.Base Six’s personnel did not send a stand-in for Jing Xinghe. They had prevented Jing Xinghe from leaving solely for his safety. Being inside the base ensured his safety and provided valuable footage for the documentary. Thus, Jing Xinghe met the live Imperial gorilla once more—the same one.Inside a somewhat crude but very sturdy iron cage, the Imperial gorilla, covered in gruesome wounds, sat calmly on the floor. There were no chairs or beds inside the cage, o

On the barren alien planet, a convoy was moving slowly. At the front and rear were three armed armored vehicles each, with four transport vehicles and a trailer in the middle. On the trailer sat a bulky-looking mech, while mechs followed on either side. Ahead, a reconnaissance vehicle was scouting the way."Attention all units, we are about to leave the safe zone. No enemy activity detected so far. We will rendezvous with our supporting mech warriors in thirty minutes."The voice from the reconnaissance vehicle echoed over the communication channel. Not only did they have to drive the reconnaissance vehicle at the forefront, but they also had to control unmanned drones to monitor the surroundings. The Federation had numerous reconnaissance satellites in the near-space of the alien planet, but the crisis at Base Three and other battle zones required support from these satellites."I wish we had aircraft. Sitting in this vehicle is making my backside sore," Shen Mu complained over the i

Two space battleships landed with a thunderous roar on the alien planet's surface, only two kilometers apart. Both sides' hatches opened immediately, and the mecha warriors, who had been preparing since they decided on the forced landing, piloted their mechas and charged out.Seventy-two mechas, two complete Federal mecha squads, not a single one missing. The damage to Xinyue Fox during the aerial battle wasn't severe, so they had to give their all to ensure that Xinyue Fox wasn't destroyed by Imperial mechas.The Federation had very few spacecraft, and even fewer that could be converted into space battleships. The entire Federation only had two true space fleets. One was the Longzhou Space Fleet, composed of the Eastern Azure Dragon, Southern Vermilion Bird, Western White Tiger, and Northern Black Tortoise fleets, symbolizing the guardians of the four corners of the Blue Planet.The other was the Five Oceans Space Fleet, formed by the joint efforts of other continents, consisting of

As Jixinghe marched forward alone, he was not truly by himself. Su Chuanyun, Andrei, Deaf, and Lame were behind him, piloting their mechas, spreading out and ready to charge at any moment.“Have you ever played chess?” Jixinghe's voice came through the shortwave communication channel of the five-man squad.All four responded immediately.“Yes.”“Old Ji, you underestimate us.”“Except for Andrei, we’re all from Longzhou. Who doesn’t know how to play chess?”“What? You think us Xiongzhou folks don’t play chess? We have chess, too, alright? I even play Go.”“Time is short, so I'll get straight to the point,” Jixinghe continued. “I’ll be the chariot, and you’ll be the pawns. Can you do that?”“Yes.”“No problem.”“Old Ji, you saved my life.”“A cripple like me piloting a mecha again is all thanks to you. Enough talk, Old Ji, let’s do this.”Jixinghe gave his orders directly: “You four, hold off those two and keep yourselves safe.”No need to specify which two. Among the five Imperial mech
