Ji Xinghe and his Xinghe Squad finally returned to Base No. 6, but they didn’t have much time to reunite with Master Liu and the others. As soon as they arrived, the transfer convoy between Base No. 3 and Base No. 6 was already prepared, and they received orders to depart immediately.“Thank you, and take care.”Ji Xinghe accepted the gift they had prepared for Ji Rong Xinyue, waving goodbye without saying "see you again," because he knew that "goodbye" might mean "forever."The journey was uneventful, and the transfer convoy took three days to finally reach the relatively safe Base No. 5. Despite the sudden influx of people, Base No. 5 did not face any resource shortages as the Federation had already made preparations.Ji Rong Xinyue was very happy to receive the gift, but even happier to see that Ji Xinghe had returned unharmed.“Grandpa, what does orbital drop mean?”For many, this information was still classified, but Ji Xinghe revealed it to Ji Rong Xinyue without reservation, ev
Having decided to participate in the orbital drop mech warrior test, Ji Xinghe did not leave Base Five immediately. It wasn’t that he had hesitated again; the “education” from Ji Rongxinyue had been very effective. The delay was simply because the necessary equipment required time to manufacture.“Lieutenant Ji Xinghe, we have reviewed your relevant physical data and estimate that it will take ten days to customize your orbital drop mech suite. Please confirm once again if you want to continue using the Federal standard 16th generation mech?”“Yes, I want to use the Federal standard 16th generation mech.”Ji Xinghe confirmed his choice. If possible, he would have preferred to pilot the Federal 1st generation standard mech, the one he first encountered and used the most. However, the initial models, still usable in the game Starry Glory, had long been phased out on alien battlefields. Therefore, he chose the 16th generation standard mech, which he was second most familiar with.In term
"Name.""Ji Xinghe.""Gender.""Male.""Age.""65.""Why would you, at retirement age with a pension, want to steal? And not just steal anything, but a single-pilot starship. I mean, can you even operate it if you got it?""I can."The interrogating officer was momentarily stunned. Could this be a retired veteran of the Federation? If so, his interrogation might come to a halt as the Federation had its own military courts.Single-pilot starships were only piloted by space fleet soldiers or retired ones. The New Phoenix City Police Department had some who could operate them, retired soldiers from the space fleet.Although Ji Xinghe was attempting to steal from the New Phoenix City Police Department, the officer couldn't help but wonder... wait, 65 years old? How long had the space fleet been established? How long had single-pilot starships existed? Where did this 65-year-old retired soldier come from?Name, gender, age, fingerprints, and other information were input into the terminal i
New Phoenix City is located in the coastal area of Longzhou, a well-known tourist city in the Federation.Although the Federation claims to have entered the interstellar era, there is only one habitable planet. Other planets within reach are all within the Blue Star system, including the front-line battlefields and a few mining planets collectively known as the Perplexing Exoplanets.Due to its large population, the Blue Star has no shortage of tourists, and people living here can enjoy a high level of happiness.But Ji Xinghe was not happy at all. He had become a true loner."Sir, why are you here?"Inside the detention center in New Phoenix City, Ji Xinghe heard the question from the person next to him, but he didn't want to answer or look at anyone else. He sat there silently like a statue.In his hazy gaze, the image of his son, Ji Chenxing, emerged briefly, only to be replaced by a red blur—a head full of red hair.A young man with a red explosion of hair appeared in front of Ji
As the newly appointed federal hero, Han Li received the medal of honor with a heavy heart. It seemed as if the medal weighed down on his chest, and his expression was not pleasant to look at.It wasn't surprising to the Major General Tu Yuan, who awarded the medal. He also felt uneasy because every achievement of the federal military meant that a large number of soldiers had made sacrifices.Some say that all the medals of honor are stained with the blood of enemies, symbols of glory. But on those medals, there wasn't just the blood of enemies; there was also the blood of their own people.What was most heartbreaking was that most of those who sacrificed couldn't even wear their own medals. Many of their bodies were lost, making all the medals feel heavy."Casualties are inevitable. What's most important is to live on well and carry the will and spirit of our fallen comrades into battle," Major General Tu Yuan patted Han Li on the shoulder, then prepared to leave. Today, there was on
Tu Yuan watched the holographic projection screen in front of him expressionlessly. On it, Ji Xinghe effortlessly performed a shoulder throw, the entire process clean and crisp. Even though Tu Yuan had seen many skilled martial artists, he couldn't help but admire silently: this old man still had some skills.After all, he was 65 years old.Yet Tu Yuan remained expressionless. After watching it several times, he shifted his gaze to another holographic projection screen, which clearly displayed all of Ji Xinghe's information. The key point that made him expressionless was that the data did not show that Ji Xinghe had any martial arts skills.So he asked directly, "Why?"The people from the detention center and the New Phoenix City Police Department were a bit puzzled, unsure of what the famous federal Major General was asking about.Tu Yuan was well-known because he didn't become a federal Major General this year; he became one three years ago when he was only 37 years old, making him
Age is inconsequential, as is the ongoing conflict between the Federation and the Empire. Jixinghe, who has lived a modest and unassuming life, now possesses only one fervent ambition: to seek vengeance.However, he couldn't venture alone to the extraterrestrial frontlines. The alien planets were inhospitable to human life. The thin atmosphere lacked breathable air, drastic temperature fluctuations between day and night necessitated protective spacesuits, chaotic magnetic fields and unpredictable storms rendered much of the technology useless.Apart from military camps and bases, there were no habitable spaces for humans on the alien frontlines. Even the formidable Imperial gorillas struggled to survive on the alien surface without equipment.Humans, when wearing spacesuits, were ill-equipped for combat. Hindered mobility and the risk of oxygen leaks leading to death made them vulnerable. In contrast, the Imperial gorillas only needed auxiliary breathing devices. Thus, the initial enc
"Hey, old Jixing is back! Been gone for days, probably off chasing some old lady.""Nonsense, old Jixing never pays attention to those old ladies. You think he's like you, an old man dancing in the square every day. Old Jixing, how about a game of chess? It's been ages since we played. I'll give you a rook.""Hah, you give old Jixing a rook? Hasn't it always been old Jixing giving you the rooks and knights?"In the green area of the community, a group of elderly men and women basking in the sun greeted Jixinghe, who had been absent for a few days, indicating that he was well-liked among the residents.This popularity was built on Jixinghe's willingness to help others, his excellent character both before and after his wife's passing, and the conditions of having a pension and retirement benefits."Nah, got things to do, you guys carry on."Jixinghe hurriedly responded and made his way straight to his home. He didn't want to discuss his experiences of the past few days with anyone, as i
