"Instructor, I want to fly the mecha."

Instructor Li heard this sentence for the second time today. In fact, he didn’t hear it the first time, but saw it, because the first time it was a text message sent to him by a blind man. He was shocked at the time, because the blind man was blind.

Okay, how can I send a text message?

This time he was equally shocked because the person who said this to him was a sixty-five-year-old man.

"Old Ji, are you serious?"

Instructor Li knew before that Ji Xinghe wanted to take the mecha driving qualification certificate, but he did not expect that Ji Xinghe would take the test so soon and choose to take the test at this time.

"Yes, I'm serious."

Ji Xinghe answered with a firm voice. Compared with the sullen expression he had in the medical area an hour ago, he seemed like a different person.

Instructor Li frowned. Logically speaking, he had no reason to stop Ji Xinghe. Moreover, he had said before that he would help and take care of Ji Xinghe. Now he also has a lot of time. Due to the tense war, the mecha warriors in the training area

There are only a few left, no new recruits have joined, and the mecha warriors who have completed adaptive training or rehabilitation training have already left for the military camp.

"But..." Instructor Li hesitated and then said, "Old Ji, I don't recommend you take the exam now."

"Why?"

"Because I know what you want to do."

Even a blind person knows the difficult problems Ji Xinghe is facing now, let alone Instructor Li?

There was no trace of blush on Ji Xinghe's old face and he stared at Instructor Li intently: "Instructor, I don't know what you are talking about. I checked it and Lieutenant Colonel Chen Xun also said that I can apply for the exam at any time. This is my right.

and obligations.”

Instructor Li was helpless and looked at Su He who was also taking the photo: "Reporter Su, I'm not telling you, you really just want to watch the fun and don't take it too seriously. Can you take Xinxin aside to play first? Ah, Xinxin, don't get me wrong.

"Uncle, I have a little matter to discuss with your grandpa."

Su He and Xinxin nodded at the same time, glanced at Ji Xinghe worriedly and left, but Su He's drone stayed behind, which made Instructor Li very helpless: This old man, there are always 300 million behind me.

People are watching, and if it weren’t for the fact that you are good at playing, they would never play with you...

"Old Ji, I think our relationship is not bad, so there is no need for you to lie to me or trick me." Instructor Li said sincerely: "Do you want to apply for the exam and drive the mecha directly to the third level?

No. 1 base to get medicine for Xinxin? Don't deny it. I saw your resume when I helped you apply for special allowances, so I know that you once stole a manned starship. I have to say that you are more courageous than your age.

big."

Ji Xinghe was speechless, because he did think so, and there was no point in denying it again. Although his old face was thick, he still had a face. He could be shameless, but he couldn't do it after others said he was going to deceive people.

shameless.

Instructor Li's tone became serious and thoughtful again.

"Old Ji, you should know that our federation has 300,000 mecha warriors. Needless to say, super-class mecha warriors and ace mecha warriors. Do you know why there are only more than a thousand first-level mecha warriors?"

"Because the first-level mecha warriors are not obtained through examinations. They require actual combat and kill orangutans in exchange for stars."

"Yes, both level 3 and level 2 mecha warriors can pass the exam, but not level 1. But in essence, the difference between level 3, level 2, and level 1 mecha warriors in terms of examination operations is not really significant.

The big difference is nothing more than the difference in the number of driveable rack models and the number of non-standard tactical actions that can be completed. However, in real battles, there is actually no need to master so many non-standard tactical actions because there is no time to use them.

, there is no chance to use them, and there are not so many mechas for them to choose from. So, is this because we lack opportunities for actual combat? No, it is because we do not have so many mechas for 300,000 mecha warriors to use.

I think you should be very clear about this, and you are deeply touched by it now, right?"

As a mechanic, Ji Xinghe certainly felt deeply. Components such as the energy transmission plate must follow the standard of repairing and not replacing. Robot arms and machine tools need to be queued up. The Federation is actually in short supply of resources for manufacturing mechas.

"Fifty thousand mechas. We only have 50,000 mechas in service now, but we still have 300,000 mecha warriors." Instructor Li sighed: "A broken mecha can be repaired, but a person dies.

Can't be resurrected. And when people are broken... it's not that they can't be repaired, but just like Wang Gui and the others, they basically lose the possibility of driving mechas. I know you are feeding them chicken soup for the soul, and I hope you too

Keep doing this, because without this chicken soup for the soul, they will lose their fighting spirit and even their will to live."

"I didn't give them chicken soup for the soul." Ji Xinghe said this very seriously, and corrected: "They are not broken, but injured. They should be treated instead of repaired."

"Okay, okay, you didn't, right, right, you're right, I was wrong." Instructor Li didn't want to argue with Ji Xinghe and continued to talk about the topic: "You can take the test, I think you can pass the Level 3 Mecha Piloting Test

Qualification certificate, but I will not hand over the mecha I am responsible for managing to you and let you go to Base 3 to get medicine. I also don’t want to see you in the actual machine test or the field operation test during the exam.

Just run away in the mecha. If you do that, it will be difficult for everyone."

Ji Xinghe, whose thoughts were exposed, still didn't feel the slightest bit ashamed when facing Instructor Li, because he was only preparing to do these things, not having already done them.

"I asked." Ji Xinghe said firmly: "There is a canyon between us and Base No. 3. It is not a war zone, and it just crosses the war zone. It is just that vehicles cannot pass, but mechas can. Training area and mechas

There are a total of twelve mechas in the district that can support me in crossing that canyon."

Instructor Li was obviously prepared and corrected: "There are only ten of them, and eight of them need to be transported to the war zone as soon as possible."

"Twelve, I can repair two of them, so there are four left." Ji Xinghe also corrected again.

"Old Ji, are you stubborn with me?" Instructor Li didn't expect that Ji Xinghe's calculations were so accurate, and he was so confident when he said he had repaired two mechas. He said with a little anger: "I can't give you my mechas.

It's not that I don't want to help you, but there are rules and regulations. Well, what if you can repair those two mechas in a hurry? You know very well that they will be replaced as soon as the actual machine test is passed.

To be transported because the soldiers on the front lines need them."

I need them too, and my granddaughter needs them too.

But Ji Xinghe couldn't say this in his heart, because there was no way to compare who was more important, his granddaughter's medicine or the lives of the frontline soldiers.

Xinxin is his granddaughter, his only blood relative in the world, but those mecha warriors fighting on the front lines, as well as the ordinary soldiers who need the protection of mechas, who are not their sons, daughters, grandsons, and granddaughters?

?They may also be husbands, wives, fathers, brothers and sisters...

Seeing Ji Xinghe's silence, Instructor Li spoke earnestly again: "Old Ji, I asked, it will be okay if Xinxin stops taking the medicine temporarily. The treatment will indeed be delayed, but it will not cause..."

Won't cause death?

Ji Xinghe looked at Instructor Li and said nothing, so Instructor Li couldn't say the last word, because neither Instructor Li nor the doctors in the medical area could guarantee whether sudden discontinuation of the medication would lead to more dangerous consequences. Xinxin's disease was not

It is a disease that people are familiar with, and it is not a disease that the Federation has a lot of medical experience in. In all the alien bases for so many years, there have only been a few hundred children like Xinxin in total.

And it's not just Xinxin who is affected by this incident. There are other children like Xinxin in Base 6. They really shouldn't appear on the alien planet, but this shouldn't have anything to do with them, only with their irresponsible parents.

related.

"Old Ji."

Instructor Li took a deep breath and asked seriously: "Promise me not to steal mechas, and I will let you take the test, and I will also help you find a mecha warrior to go to Base 3 to get medicine."

Ji Xinghe was so surprised that he couldn't believe it. This was definitely the best thing for him, but he did not agree immediately. After hesitating for a while, he said: "No, I can't let others take risks for me. And

You said they have more important things to do."

Instructor Li's expression suddenly turned into disbelief. He never expected that his plan, which took great risks, would be rejected by Ji Xinghe who needed it the most. But looking at Ji Xinghe's sincere and frank eyes, he understood.

Why.

"This plan was proposed by him, and he doesn't have anything important to do because he is..."

Instructor Li did not answer, but looked to the other side and shouted loudly, where the same group of people had been staying for the past month, the remnant company of Base 6.

"Li Lin."

"arrive."

"Do you want to continue flying mechas?"

"think."

"Come on, let's take the test and give me a try."

"good."
