The Marquis-class Imperial Mecha was intact, while the Duke-class Imperial Mecha had a broken head and a damaged area on the right chest.

"Actually, purely in terms of performance and defense, the comprehensive parameters of this Marquis-class Imperial Mecha are better than your Zhanshan, and the modification difficulty is much lower."

"It's better to repair this Duke-class aircraft. It should be useful to me."

"good."

Master Liu did not ask Ji Xinghe what it was used for. After answering, he began to study repair and modification plans with several other professional mechanics. They were all professional and technical second lieutenant mechanics, so there was no need to worry about their professionalism.

In terms of experience in maintenance and contact with imperial mechas, they have more experience than Shen Mu, who has been promoted to professional technical captain.

Chen Xun stood next to Ji Xinghe and whispered: "If I hadn't been helping you and showing the attitude that I would definitely help you, Master Liu and the others should have been promoted to lieutenant."

"Captain." Ji Xinghe corrected: "Xiao Liu can be promoted to captain."

"It's like you could be promoted to colonel, but now you're still a major."

Chen Xun fell silent after saying this. He did not ask Ji Xinghe why he suddenly transformed the imperial mecha, but these two sentences of dialogue already explained a lot of problems.

Almost everyone knows that the biggest difference between Ji Xinghe, the ace mecha warrior, and the other ace mecha warriors in the Federation is not his age, but his origin.

If you are not a professional soldier, you will not regard obeying orders as your bounden duty. This kind of uncontrollable top-level combat power is a double-edged sword in the eyes of some people.

"Old Ji."

Master Liu shouted, Ji Xinghe walked over, and Chen Xun followed suit.

"The plan has been finalized. This is what it looks like now. Basically, it is no different from how we modified the imperial mecha before. We just added some modifications that suit your driving habits..."

There is nothing wrong with the plan. Federation mechanics are no strangers to imperial mechas. In addition to their experience in dismantling trophies, at some point they also have to modify imperial mechas for use by federal mecha warriors.

Ji Xinghe's driving habits are also familiar to Master Liu and other mechanics. They are all veteran mechanics at Base 6, and Ji Xinghe can be considered an old man at Base 6.

A well-deserved old man.

"There are a few minor issues that I still want to discuss."

After Master Liu decided on the plan, he arranged for several other mechanics to start preparing equipment, related materials and parts, and he took the opportunity to remind them.

"The first one is the difference in operation methods. We can replace the sensor helmet and smart core, but you should know that if the main structure and transmission structure cannot be significantly changed, just changing the software system will cause incompatibility problems. "

Software and hardware must be matched and formed, and many experiments are required during the design process before the two can be perfectly integrated.

The current transformation of the Duke-class mecha is basically equivalent to replacing the software system. Most of the hardware changes are limited to the cockpit, transmission devices, etc., and there are almost no changes.

"I know, I will do more actual machine testing."

"Okay, the second one is the weakness of this mecha after modification. Well, it's all the places you broke. We don't have tungsten steel alloy to replace it, so we can only replace it with the head of the Marquis-class mecha, and the left chest. For wounds, we will use the strongest alloy we can get, but the defense will be worse than tungsten steel alloy."

Weaknesses depend on what they are compared to.

If compared with the Zhanshan that Ji Xinghe had just driven, these weaknesses were not weaknesses, so Ji Xinghe was not worried about this and did not make too many demands.

"Third, in a sense, your mecha is disposable because we don't have the corresponding parts to replace it. If there is damage, unless there happens to be an imperial mecha of the same level that can be dismantled

, otherwise there is no way to repair it, you can only repair it.”

There is a big difference between repair and repair. The same level of mecha does not necessarily mean that it must be a duke-level imperial mecha, but at least a marquis-level imperial mecha. Parts in certain key positions must be

It can be obtained by dismantling the Duke-level Imperial Mecha.

Judging from the current record of the Federation against the Duke-class Imperial Mecha, there is nothing wrong with saying it is a one-time use.

"I try not to let it break."

When Ji Xinghe said this, his tone was very calm, but the people around him felt extremely relieved after hearing it.

"That said, who can destroy your mecha? Duke-level imperial mechas are not so easy to encounter."

After Master Liu said something with a smile, he continued to remind.

"The fourth problem is the operating mode. Because of its integrity, we cannot directly replace the cockpit, so we can only modify the cockpit. Orangutans have four hands, and their mecha operating modes are similar to ours.

The difference is that after modification, the pressure on your hands will increase."

Master Liu said to the drawing: "Because we have transferred most of the foot-operated devices to the hands. There is also the issue of driving height. Belrosi is two meters tall, and you are only 1.94 meters tall.

The cockpit is too tall for you, after modification..."

Questions were raised one after another, and in the end, Master Liu concluded: "In general, the requirements for your operational ability have become higher, which is about 29% higher than before. If you can perform 129%

With the operating capabilities, you can fully utilize the performance of this mecha."

Chen Xun asked curiously: "Master Liu, what is the base of the 129% you mentioned?"

"When Lao Ji piloted Zhanshan to fight against Bell Rossi, we generally referred to Zhanshan's operating speed, accuracy, efficiency and other parameters as operational capabilities."

Chen Xun looked at Ji Xinghe: "Is that your limit?"

"It's close to the limit." Ji Xinghe pondered slightly: "However, if it is only 129% at that time, I can give it a try."

Chen Xun, Master Liu and others were stunned for a moment.

Is the difference between close to the limit and the limit as much as 29%?

Ji Xinghe added: "If you want to know the combat effectiveness of this mecha, I need to conduct a real-life test before I can tell you."

"good."

The transformation work officially started. The head of the Marquis-class mecha was disassembled first and will be installed on the Duke-class mecha.

The most difficult part of the hardware transformation is not this, but the cockpit transformation. Ji Xinghe also participated in this process, giving full play to his ninth-level fitter skills.

Gu Xing

Chen Xun was watching from the sidelines regarding the replacement and upgrade of the software system. There was something that Ji Xinghe could say, but he wanted to say it for Ji Xinghe.

"Delete the code related to final permissions."

"Ah? But according to regulations, all federal mechas need to load the final authority code. This is..."

"I know, but this is not a federal mecha, but an imperial mecha."

"..."

"I will bear all the consequences on my own, you don't have to worry."

"That's what I'm saying, Lieutenant Colonel Chen Xun. Although I met Lao Ji a few days later than you, in terms of contact time, you really can't compare to me. Okay, I'll do it."

As the name implies, the final authority is that under the premise that all federal mechas belong to the federation, the federation must have the highest control over the mechas.

The specific performance is usually to lock the driving authority of the mecha. In this case, it is impossible for the ace mecha warrior to operate the mecha.

Under certain special circumstances, the Federation also has the authority to control mechas to self-destruct.

However, under normal circumstances, the energy consumption of a mecha that needs to self-destruct is almost the same, and the power of self-destruction is really limited.

In fact, even a fully charged nuclear fuel cell cannot explode in the special surface environment of an alien planet. If a nuclear fuel cell explodes so easily, the life safety of the mecha warriors cannot be guaranteed.

While Ji Xinghe was working overtime, the relevant personnel at Base Six did not receive any news. The fact that the two Imperial mechas were transported out of the warehouse and the transformation in the machine repair area were not noticed by anyone.

few.

But none of these people choose to snitch.

What's even more amazing is that although the base's artificial intelligence program discovered this operation that violated its authority, the relevant reminder was directly suppressed by the relevant personnel and was not reported to superiors.

The first ones to get the news were Harris and Qin Tong, who were on a reconnaissance mission outside. They completed the relevant tasks and returned to the base to rest and recuperate.

"Old Ji, you are not kind. Why don't you dismantle my engine and give it back to me?"

Qin Tong pretended to be dissatisfied. Ji Xinghe wanted to return Harris's mecha to Harris, but now the core engine on this mecha was removed from Qin Tong's mecha. And the person who returned the mecha in Ji Xinghe

At that time, no one was allowed to dismantle the twelfth generation core engine.

Ji Xinghe said straightforwardly: "I owe you a weapon made of tungsten steel."

"Easy to say. Hehe..."

Qin Tong, who just felt like he was at a loss, instantly felt like he had made a huge profit.

If someone else had said this, he would still have doubts, but if Ji Xinghe said this, who wouldn't believe it?

So far, Ji Xinghe has obtained five weapons made of tungsten steel. Xingyue used one, and now at Base 5, it has been transformed into four knives by heavy wood.

The blind man, the lame man, and Su Chuanyun each had a mecha epee made of tungsten steel, while Ji Xinghe still had a stabbing spear made of tungsten steel.

There are only eight mecha warriors in the Xinghe team, and four of them already have weapons made of tungsten steel. Captain Ji Xinghe still has two weapons, or even five.

No matter whether they are members or captains of other federal mecha squads, there is no one who does not envy them.

"No, someone, come here, remove the engine of my mecha and return it to him, and remove the eleventh-generation core engine from his mecha and give it to me."

Harris, who was originally very happy, suddenly became unwilling and started yelling in the mechanic area. However, while he was yelling, he did not look at the other mechanics, but peeked at Ji Xinghe with his peripheral vision.

reaction.

Ji Xinghe was helpless.

"Okay, I owe you one too."

"You said this, I didn't force you." Harris laughed and said, "Old man, please tell me clearly what you owe me."

"Weapons made of tungsten steel." Ji Xinghe looked at Harris and said seriously: "And it's not the kind after transformation, but the kind that was directly stolen, okay?"
