The name General Armor was chosen by Shen Mu, and was unanimously recognized by those involved in the design and manufacturing.

The tenth ace mecha warrior in active service in the Federation, his military rank is only a major. This is something that many people except Ji Xinghe cannot accept.

Maybe it was to take care of this emotion, maybe it was because Ji Xinghe's meritorious service was finally calculated, maybe it was because after Wang Wei heard the name, he expressed his approval and submitted the relevant application.

Before the formal construction of General Armor begins, Ji Xinghe’s military rank promotion order has finally come down.

"Colonel Ji Xinghe, congratulations."

"Thanks."

The process was actually a bit cumbersome. Base No. 5 held a small ceremony for this purpose. Along with the promotion order, there were also some documents regarding authority enhancement, as well as the formal establishment of the Galaxy Team.

Ji Xinghe, who was promoted to colonel, currently has three management rights.

One is the No. 66 machine repair area of ​​the No. 5 Base, the other is the training area of ​​the No. 5 Base (as an instructor), and the last and most important one is the management authority of the Galaxy Team.

His identity is still the captain, the blind man and the lame are the deputy captains, Chen Xun's position is the staff officer, the others are all mecha warriors, and only mecha warriors.

These functions have not changed much from before. The real change is the increase in the number of formal staff.

There are currently sixteen mecha warriors in the Galaxy Squad, and they can apply for fifteen more mecha warriors to join. The total number of mecha warriors is thirty-one. To be more precise, it is actually thirty. Ji Xinghe is the captain. Not included in it.

But there is still no establishment related to logistics support, such as personnel establishment for correspondents, mechanics, etc., or communication support vehicles, tanks, armored vehicles, etc. None of these Galaxy Teams have it.

"This is to ensure the high mobility of the Galaxy Team."

Wang Wei explained to Ji Xinghe: "If you are equipped with those logistics systems, the mobility of the Galaxy Squad will be reduced. What I mean above is to build your Galaxy Squad into a rapid response mecha squad, and wait until all of your members are special. At that time, it is very likely that they will become the Galaxy Airborne Mecha Team."

This is a very reasonable explanation, and it is also a big picture.

People nearby who participated in the awarding ceremony, such as Shen Mu and Su He, sneered, while others felt that what Wang Wei said was reasonable and well-founded.

Ji Xinghe nodded noncommittally, without making any comments, and the ceremony was quickly completed.

The only hiccup was that Wang Wei, who was supposed to personally put a new badge, epaulettes, and military medals on Ji Xinghe, gave up this opportunity to Ji Rong Xinyue.

"Can I?"

"Of course." Wang Wei began to lie to the child: "In the future, Xinxin will be a general, and the military rank may be higher than your grandfather's. Of course, you can give your grandfather a badge."

This sentence made Ji Xinghe frown slightly, but seeing that Ji Rong Xinyue smiled happily when he heard this, he didn't say anything.

Until now, he still hopes that when he grows up, Ji Rong Xinyue can be a lawyer or a doctor, or a painter.

Ji Rong Xinyue did not agree directly, but looked at Ji Xinghe expectantly.

Ji Xinghe squatted directly in front of Ji Rong Xinyue and showed a kind smile.

Ji Rong Xinyue then carefully took over the badges, epaulettes, and military medals, and with a serious expression began to change them for Ji Xinghe. After changing them, she looked at them carefully, corrected the position and angle, and finally smiled with satisfaction.

Then he remembered something and stood at attention to salute Ji Xinghe.

This action made everyone around him stand at attention and salute.

Ji Xinghe stood up and returned the gift seriously.

The ceremony is over, and everyone's life has returned to busy life again. Ji Xinghe's life has temporarily returned to the state before leaving Base No. 5. The difference is that he has not repaired the mecha in the recent period, but instead repaired the mecha.

Time is used to build his new mecha.

The rest of the time schedule has not changed. He goes to the training area when he needs to go to the training area. He teaches Ji Rong Xinyue and other children how to practice kung fu when he needs to do it. He also tells stories to Ji Rong Xinyue and other children before going to bed at night.

"We have verified that there is no problem with the design of the general's armor and can be manufactured directly."

This is news from the Federal Academy of Sciences. After the dust storm ended, communications were restored. Base No. 5 can contact Azure Star through the Nantianmen Space Station. Ji Xinghe, the new ace mecha warrior’s new mecha, no matter what,

Can get corresponding technical support.

And this kind of technical support is very necessary. On an alien planet where supplies are scarce, if a new mecha that consumes a lot of resources to build has flaws in the design, it will be a waste to build it, and it may endanger Ji Xinghe's life.

.

Azure Star does not have this problem. They can use 3D printing technology to manufacture corresponding parts for actual machine testing in a short period of time. Parts that cannot be formed using 3D printing technology can also be produced with Azure Star’s industrial capabilities.

Complete customization in a short time.

The testing of the General Armor model machine was completed, and the Federal Academy of Sciences also improved some designs.

Corresponding resources were also transported to Base No. 5.

All this is because Ji Xinghe's identity is no longer the same.

"Now I suddenly believe what the commander said. Galaxy Squadron has not been targeted. The higher-ups really want to build Galaxy Squadron into a quick-reaction mecha squad."

"I also believe that Lao Ji's contribution points have not been withheld. One hundred million plus a 12th generation core engine, including the Gu Yong, is almost the same."

The members of the team building the General Armor dissipated some of their previous resentment. Shen Mu and Su He didn't say anything. Ji Xinghe, as if he didn't care at all, led the team to start the actual production of the General Armor.

The first step is to melt down the Gu Yong.

However, Ji Xinghe did not participate in this step because it was not his specialty and he only knew a little bit about it. Melting down the Gu Yong and then forging the main body of the general armor sounded very simple, but due to the characteristics of tungsten steel alloy

, the required steps are actually very cumbersome.

Even if he goes, he can only be a bystander and use his time to build other parts needed for the general's armor.

Such as energy transmission plates, bearings, joints, etc.

It is shameful to waste time on an alien planet. Even if he is building a mecha for himself, Ji Xinghe is not willing to waste time looking at meaningless things. He believes in professionals such as Shen Mu.

Just the first step took four days. In an era when humans can build mechas and spaceships, it already shows how difficult this step is.

"The defensive performance has decreased by 2.7%. The performance in other aspects has not changed much, but it is still a bit disappointing."

"It's already very good. Thank you for your hard work."

Judging from the defensive power of tungsten steel alloy, this degree of reduction is nothing. Ji Xinghe looked at the main body of the general armor being transported to the machine repair area and was satisfied.

There is no doubt that it has a human shape, but it does not have a neck. This aspect of the design is the same as the normal Xingyue.

However, Xingyue looks a little fat, while the general armor can be described as strong, like an enlarged version of the macho man Jackson.

"The current height is 5.6 meters. This height will basically not change. If a foot kit is used, it may increase some height."

Chen Mu introduced it from the side.

"Without the cockpit, core engine and other parts, the empty General Armor weighs only 3.2 tons. After all parts are installed, its weight will reach 5 tons, which is several hundred kilograms lighter than before."

"The custom-modified mecha that Colonel Han Li drove before weighed only 1.9 tons and was only 3.9 meters tall. Compared with the general armor, it looked like a child's plaything. But Colonel Han Li is like a child in front of you, ha. Ha ha……"

Chen Mu, who had said a few serious words, became unserious again.

"However, Colonel Han Li's customized mecha is already being built. The last time I communicated with the Academy of Sciences, they said that Colonel Han Li's new mecha is similar to yours, tall, big and heavy."

"Speaking of it, it's really like a reincarnation." Shen Mu sighed again: "The first mechas were very huge, with some more than ten meters high, but then they became smaller and smaller, usually four meters high. to between five meters. And now, it has begun to be built between five and six meters. I don’t know if we will build mechas that are more than ten meters high in the future, or even higher.”

The issues of mecha height and weight are actually issues of technological development, and Ji Xinghe has no say in this aspect.

After the main body of the general armor is built, the remaining work is much simpler, which is nothing more than loading the built parts.

During this process, Shen Mu kept expressing regrets.

"The application for the nuclear power reactor failed. The Academy of Sciences said that the thing is not stable enough. The design of the general's armor cannot withstand the risk of errors. Currently, there are only five ace mecha warriors' mechas that can use nuclear power reactions. furnace, so it still needs to be driven by nuclear fuel cells."

"In terms of battery life, if it is at cruising speed, the General Armor can travel 1,500 kilometers, which is much improved than the previous Gu Yong. However, if there is a nuclear power reactor, the battery life of the General Armor can be increased to For more than 10,000 kilometers, charging will be more convenient and faster."

"The application for the energy shield generator has not been approved. The Academy of Sciences said that their experimental model exploded again and is still unusable for the time being. But it should be soon. They said that the previous test was very successful. If there is an energy shield generator , Lao Ji, if the empire bombards you with another hundred missiles, you don’t even have to hide.”

"As for light energy weapons, you can apply for one, but I have seen the parameters provided by the Academy of Sciences. It is not as good as your tungsten steel gold stabbing gun, nor as good as Xingyue's four knives, so I don't want it."

"It's not that I want to save money for them, but if this thing is seen by the empire, it will be very troublesome. We have to give those group of orangutans a big surprise. When the power of light energy weapons is increased in the future, one of yours will definitely be indispensable. , No, at least five pieces, one light energy gun and four lightsabers."

"Old Ji, why don't you ask me why it's a lightsaber and not a light saber? Hehe... Light energy weapons cannot be made into the shape of a knife for the time being. They can only be straight beams, so they are lightsabers. If they can be made in the future Once the knife is in shape, I will definitely make four knives for you."

Chen Mu casually revealed many of the Federation's top technological secrets, which surprised Ji Xinghe and finally couldn't help but ask.

"Where on earth did you get all this information?"

"From the Academy of Sciences, oh, I forgot to tell you."

Chen Mu chuckled twice, his expression extremely proud, as if he had been waiting for Ji Xinghe to ask this question for a long time.

"Lao Ji, I have received a second study notice from the Academy of Sciences. Do you know what this means?"

"What does it mean?"

"It means that as long as I go back and complete my further studies, you will call me Dr. Shen Mu from now on."

"That's it?"

"Of course there are more. Do you know how likely people who go to the Academy of Sciences to study for a second time will become academicians?"

"How old?"

"35%, for every 100 people who study for a second time at the Academy of Sciences, 35 of them become academicians."

"Then when will you go back?"

"Uh..." Shen Mu's excited and proud expression suddenly collapsed: "You shouldn't ask like that."

"Then what should I ask?"

"You should say it's only 35%. Then I will tell you that the probability of becoming an academician is 98% for people of my age. You can do it, then I will tell you that among the 10,000 people majoring in mechanical repair, there may not be one person who can go to the Academy of Sciences for further study. And I have already studied once before I graduated, and there are thousands of people who can study for the second time. There’s nothing like it.”
