Ji Xinghe didn't know Zhang Qian wanted to apologize to him, but he wanted to say sorry to Zhang Qian: Sorry, I did more but still couldn't protect you.Ji Xinghe, who had lured away three Imperial mechs alone, had contributed far beyond the combat mission objectives given to him by the commander. But Imperial mechs weren't soft targets. If Ji Xinghe could single-handedly defeat an Imperial mech, then Imperial mechs could naturally single-handedly defeat Federation mechs as well.If entanglement were really that easy, why would the commander ask the mech warriors to update their last words before the battle?They had all recorded their last words before, everyone had. It wasn't an ominous sign, but a statement of their willingness to die. When they updated their last words before a new battle, it showed they were ready to die.But they shouldn't die, because they were still very young, like my sons, even younger than my son.Ji Xinghe thought this in his heart, his eyes reddened, not
The two Imperial mechs charging forward suddenly stopped. Their original target was Jixinghe, but after failing to subdue him for a long time, they chose to temporarily abandon the pursuit. What they didn’t expect was that within the five seconds after they abandoned Jixinghe, the Imperial mech left behind to hold Jixinghe had already been destroyed.With eyes on the back of their heads, the Imperial mechs and the Federation mechs had similar designs in this regard, allowing them to see the Federation mech that had passed over the Imperial mechs and was now charging at their backs.Only three gold stars—how could he be so strong?If this question were asked to Su Chuanyun, Su Chuanyun would answer: "Because Old Ji doesn’t have time to add more gold stars to his mech. In reality, he already has nine gold stars, just one away from becoming a Federation first-class mech warrior."If the question were asked to Second Lieutenant Shen Mu, Shen Mu would answer: "Some people get nine gold sta
Warning: Mech integrity at 89%.Warning: Energy remaining at 15%.Two alerts appeared on Ji Xinghe's display. The integrity of the mech wasn’t a major concern, but the energy issue was alarming. The Federal Sixteenth-Generation Standard Mech, capable of running for over a thousand kilometers, had only been away from Base Six for half a day and traveled less than fifty kilometers. The low energy warning showed just how intense the battles had been.Running in full power mode almost all the time allowed Ji Xinghe's mech to be agile in critical moments, but it also significantly increased its energy consumption.Time is running out.Ji Xinghe, having just taken down another imperial mech, did not switch off the full power mode to save energy. He needed to quickly deal with the Number Nine imperial mech wielding the battle knife and then assist his fellow mech warriors. Victory was inevitable now; the second combat unit from Base Six could appear on the battlefield at any moment. But befo
Ding ding ding...The electronic alert sounded under the flickering lights. The metal gate slowly opened, and a Federation Type-16 standard mech emerged, visibly bearing the marks of a fierce battle, with numerous dents and some damaged areas. It should have headed straight to the mech repair area, but it stopped upon crossing the gate into the inner hangar because it had used up its last bit of strength to turn around.With a creaking sound, the back armor automatically separated, revealing the cockpit to those waiting eagerly."Grandpa."Qi Rong Xinyue ran towards Qi Xinghe, who had just jumped out of the cockpit, arms open for a hug. She expected her grandpa to lift her, but as she got closer, she saw him crouch down. It didn't matter; it was still a hug."Xinxin."Qi Xinghe, still wearing his helmet, hugged Qi Rong Xinyue and gently patted her back, saying softly, "Grandpa has to go make a report first. Will you wait for Grandpa, Xinxin?""Okay."Qi Rong Xinyue replied, feeling Qi
“His body is fine, mainly just exhaustion and dehydration. Under normal circumstances, a week's rest should see a full recovery. Once he's done with the glucose and nutrient drips, he'll be able to go about his daily activities. It should take about another half an hour.”Outside a hospital room in the medical wing, the doctor's words brought a collective sigh of relief from the waiting crowd.“Alright then, I'll head back to work.” Master Liu and the other repair crew members didn’t go inside to greet Ji Xinghe. Having received reassuring news, they returned to the repair zone to continue fixing the mechs. Their workload had suddenly increased, as almost every mech involved in the battle had sustained some damage. Ensuring the readiness of the mechs at Base Six was their top priority.“As long as he’s okay, it really gave us a scare.”The mech warriors also began to disperse. Some had been waiting at the base, unable to join the fight, while others had returned after completing their
“Welcome, Technical Sergeant Mecha Repair Specialist Ji Xinghe.”As the electronic prompt sounded, the metal gate of the repair area opened to the sides, and Ji Xinghe stepped inside. Su He, following behind him, frowned slightly upon hearing the title used for Ji Xinghe.Promotions in rank are to be expected. It had been just a day since Ji Xinghe returned to Base Six, and although the tally of his military achievements had not yet been completed, he had already achieved another two-level promotion.However, curiously, Ji Xinghe’s rank still had the prefix "Technical Specialist," similar to Shen Mu’s Technical Second Lieutenant, rather than ranks like Major Han Li, Major Jackson, or Second Lieutenant Li Lin. From a certain perspective, this indicates that the superiors still hope Ji Xinghe will remain a mecha repair specialist, staying in the relatively safe base to repair mechs rather than appearing on the battlefield as a mecha warrior.“In a couple of days, Old Ji, you should beco
Although the Federal standard mechs number as many as thirty-six generations, the core engine is only up to the twelfth generation. The twelfth-generation engine is the latest and most powerful core engine of the Federation, and currently, only ace mech pilots and some special-grade mech warriors have mechs capable of accommodating this engine.When Jixinghe designed the "Old Man's Joy" mecha, he had said that without the twelfth-generation core engine, "Old Man's Joy" could never truly be completed.The most crucial component of a mech is its core engine. The weakest point of "Xingyue" is also its core engine, which comes from a discarded engine of an Empire mech. After repair, its performance parameters are equivalent to the Federation's outdated fifth-generation engine.“Why won’t they change it?” Su He voiced his dissatisfaction even before Jixinghe could. “To take down nine Empire mechs single-handedly—if it weren’t for Jixinghe, who knows how many would have died… cough, and Jix
Although Shen Mu can sometimes come across as a bit of a clown, his professional skills are beyond doubt. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have had his own independent operational zone and been promoted to the rank of Second Lieutenant upon arriving on the alien planet. According to him, he also received the highest special talent allowance.So, even after Shen Mu personally assembled the Star Moon, even Jixinghe, who inspected it personally, couldn’t find any issues. After running off to help Jixinghe apply for the Federation’s 11th-generation core mecha engine and an alloy shield with shock functions, Shen Mu returned to the mecha repair area and cautiously leaned in to ask Su He in a low voice.“Did Old Ji use a hammer?”“A hammer?”“Yeah, the kind you use to knock and pound on the Star Moon.”“No, he didn’t.”“Good, good.”With a sigh of relief, Shen Mu then lamented, “Old Su, as a professional mecha repairman trained in a formal school, why do I feel that my ability to repair mecha compone
