Chapter 040 Selfish
Ji Xinghe actually didn't want to go to the mecha area now. He wanted to meet the second lieutenant officer who was equipped with mechanical legs, but unfortunately he didn't know the other person's name or serial number, so he couldn't contact him at all.
He shouldn't be able to sleep, right? Just like himself.
Can Xinxin fall asleep? She probably can't, but she will definitely lie motionless on the bed because she doesn't want to worry herself or affect her work, just like she didn't want to affect her mother's work before.
Then I should work harder.
Ji Xinghe thought like this and came to the mecha area. This time he came alone. Without Shen Mu to help him brush up the permission information, he thought he might not be able to get in. After all, he refused the invitation to operate the No. 109 operation section in public. Questioned the lieutenant colonel who seemed to be in charge at the base.
What was unexpected and reasonable was that when he approached the metal door of the mecha area, the authority authentication was completed directly, and an electronic voice sounded: "Welcome, Professional and Technical Private Mechanic Ji Xinghe."
He had the authority to enter the mecha area, but his mission log was blank, so even if he entered, he didn't know what he should do or what he could do.
"Lao Ji, wait until I give you permission."
Shen Mu shouted at the corner of the corridor. He and Su He came here together, because the places where the two of them stayed were originally very close to each other. The place where Ji Xinghe was assigned to stay was also with them, but until now, Ji Xinghe Never went back.
"No, I have permission."
Ji Xinghe was the first to enter the metal door. He couldn't wait, not only because he had to work harder, but also because he had been a person who loved mechanic repair since he was a child. He embarked on the path of mechanic repair because of his hobby, repairing mechas. , making mechas was his dream.
Chen Mu's footsteps paused slightly, and Su He had already jogged to follow him. He had also applied for the corresponding permissions just now, and now he could freely enter and exit the mecha area even without Chen Mu and Ji Xinghe.
"Wait for me."
After Chen Mu chased in, he followed Ji Xinghe like a follower and started chattering: "I have completed the report. I was assigned to the No. 21 operation section and was the person in charge. The original person in charge applied to go to the front line. I couldn't come back after that...Old Ji, why don't you come over and help me, you are a real eighth-level fitter, I never dreamed that I would have such a day."
Not all mechas on the alien planet are repaired in the base. The mechas that can be transported to the base for repairs are actually very lucky. The mechanics here are also relatively safe. The really dangerous and difficult ones are They are those damaged mechas and mechanics on the frontline battlefield.
"No." Ji Xinghe refused again and gave the reason: "I have also checked. If I go to your place or 109's place, your daily mission log will include me in it. Not only will you be very tired , I won’t have any time either.”
The artificial intelligence program and command center of the base will allocate the content of the daily task log based on factors such as staffing, technical level and other factors in each operating area. A simple summary is: those who are capable work more, and those who work more will get more.
"But if you don't come to me or go to 109, who can teach you?" Shen Mu questioned: "You can't do it alone. I know that you have strong personal abilities and strong learning ability. You only need to Sleep for four or five hours, but the problem is that the efficiency of self-study is very low. When we are together, you can avoid a lot of detours... Lao Ji, it's not that I won't help you, I'm afraid that when I get busy here, I don’t have time to answer many of your questions. I am very good at cultivating, and my task log is probably full, so you can’t wait until I complete my daily tasks before teaching you.”
Su He echoed from the side: "Yes, Lao Ji, although you know a little about mechas, you are self-taught. These old masters and Chen Mu, who has a professional background, can really help you avoid many detours. You If you really want to help the second lieutenant, it won't take long. He shouldn't be in a hurry as long as you start helping him, so you don't need to worry. What I'm saying is, can you join 109 or Shenmu first? 21. If it doesn’t work then you can just resign, that’s fine.”
Ji Xinghe looked at the mecha area where there was almost no difference in busyness before eating, or before normal off-duty time, and the total number of mechanics was almost the same. He was silent for a while before speaking.
"Actually, I know very well that I shouldn't have appeared here originally. I am too old, so for this place, I am actually a redundant person. Yes, I took up some resources to come here and survive. It will also take up some resources, and I have to make corresponding contributions, but I think I can do it. And... is the second lieutenant really the only one in this base who needs help?"
Both Shen Mu and Su He were silent. The battle on the alien front line was very fierce. There were many people like the second lieutenants who became disabled. Many of them were unwilling to leave the alien front line, but they lost their true meaning. The ability to keep fighting.
Ji Xinghe looked at Su He: "Xiao Su, I found out that there is a remnant company in the base. You can do me a favor and compile all their information. There is also the second lieutenant officer. I need to know his name. For his previous fighting style, it is best to have battle videos recorded by the black box of his previous mecha."
The Disabled Soldiers Company, as the name suggests, are all people like the second lieutenant officer. They were unwilling to leave, so they were incorporated into the Disabled Soldiers Company.
Su He did not agree immediately. Shen Mu asked the question that Su He also wanted to ask.
"Why?"
"There's no reason, I just want to do this. If I have to say something... the old man that no one likes, and the remnant company that no one likes, don't you think they are a good match?"
Shen Mu and Su He, who originally expected Ji Xinghe to say some great truth or something touching, were a little surprised. Is it really just because of this?
No, of course not.
Ji Xinghe is actually selfish, because he also wants to fight through armor, but it is impossible for him to have his own mecha at this age. Even if he earns resources to build Lao Toule, he will not have the chance to truly Armor piercing.
But if those people can regain the opportunity to fight through armor and show the corresponding abilities, why can't I, an old man, fight through armor?
As for whether the heroes who should have retired and returned to the Blue Star would be sacrificed because of this, Ji Xinghe did not need to consider this issue, because the choice was in the hands of those heroes, not in his.
He wants to give those people a chance, and those people can give him a chance.
"good."
Su He agreed directly without delving into it. He felt that this section was in line with the theme of the documentary "The Old Man and the Sea of Stars".
Shen Mu did not try to persuade him any more, and a group of three people also came to Mecha Area 109 while they were talking. At this time, Master Liu and others were installing parts on a mecha, which was exactly the one that Ji Xinghe had repaired before. , after testing and confirming that there is no problem, they will install the parts on the mecha for actual machine testing.
Ji Xinghe came just in time, but he didn't want to see this.
"Master Liu, can I take a look at your request list?"
"Ah? Didn't you watch the actual machine test? Master Ji, although we value our time, we really can't miss these few minutes."
