Ten days have passed since Ji Xinghe's last battle.

A lot has happened these days, including the negotiations and transactions after capturing Aida Kang alive, Li Zhengfan's return, Li Yuanba's experiment called "self-awakening" and its success...

These things also brought a lot of information, including important information such as the third civilization, which can once again refresh the human worldview.

Naturally, some of the information was deemed federal top secret.

The soldiers on the alien planet, due to their authority, are unable to know most of this information, let alone the people on the blue star?

But as Ji Xinghe's body fully recovered, he piloted the most powerful mecha in the history of the Federation, tentatively named "Emperor Armor (revised)", and participated in the battle in the Gods Mountain War Zone.

And Li Yuanba's physical condition has steadily recovered, and he has definitely shown the power of Qi, and some information has begun to be gradually decrypted.

Azure Star, Longzhou, Federal Longzhou Starry Sky Military University.

After Ji Xinghe awakened to the gifted ability, Fang Wang, the first volunteer in the federation to receive the gift and the second best student in the mecha major at Longzhou Starry Sky Military University in the same period, has been in an increasingly bad mood these days.

When he was knocked to the ground by Jiang Li again, he started to complain to Jiang Li, who was lying down next to him because he felt exhausted.

"To be honest, I regret it a little."

"What do you regret?"

"I regret accepting the gift."

"Hahaha..." Jiang Li laughed: "I remember you were very courageous at that time. The old man scratched your shoulder and broke it. The old man asked you to try to use the power of Qi to heal the injury first, but you didn't agree.

What else can you say - because I'm not afraid of getting hurt, I'm just afraid that I'm not strong enough to catch up with you."

The student Fang Wang felt a little embarrassed when he heard these kind of secondary remarks.

He was too emotional at that time, so he said what he wanted to say most, but he forgot that as the first volunteer of the Federation to receive the gift, everything at that time would be faithfully recorded.

The ambition to witness history, participate in history, and create history will gradually disappear after the passage of time, and you will constantly think about any omissions in your performance at that time.

Fang Wang felt increasingly embarrassed about this saying that had become a famous saying, and the reason was very simple.

"I didn't know at the time that the brain-computer interface would conflict with the power of qi. After accepting the old man's gift, I would no longer have the opportunity to drive a real mecha. Not to mention participating in the war, I wouldn't even be able to go to an alien planet. Alas...

…The old man kept charging, but I couldn’t even take the first step, so how could I catch up?”

The first volunteer who accepted the gift would not be able to go to the alien planet, and there would naturally be no difference between the second volunteer who accepted the gift.

Jiang Li, who has better professional results, can theoretically achieve more breakthroughs, that is, he can go faster and farther on the road to catch up with the old man.

But as Fang Wang said, if you can’t even take the first step, what else is there to say?

"Don't worry, it has been three months. The Academy of Sciences' second-generation brain-computer interface research is progressing very well. We are still very young and have plenty of time."

While Jiang Li comforted Fang Wang, he was also comforting himself.

When Ji Xinghe landed on the alien planet for the second time, he already had three thousand disciples. After landing on the alien planet, the gifts did not stop, and more and more people in the Federation had the power of Qi.

If it is just to study the power of qi, two more of them will not be too much, and two of them less will not be too much.

As Longzhou Starry Sky Military University, which has trained sub-galactic mecha warriors like Han Li, ranked first and second in the mecha major at the same time, their real value is undoubtedly to become mecha warriors.

But the problem is that they can't fly mechas now, or they can't use the latest generation of mecha operating systems.

When the Federation has decided and started to implement a comprehensive replacement of the operating systems of mechas, among the approximately 50,000 mechas currently in service in the alien battlefield, although there are still more than 20,000 using the previous generation operating system,

But they are all conventional-level standard mechas.

And all have more than one user.

"My application has been rejected again."

Fang Wang's tone continued to hold a trace of resentment, as if the bride was looking at the groom who drank too much and slept like a dead pig on her wedding night.

It’s not that this night is missing, but that even this one night is missing, and then the days to come...

"I said that I can also handle regular-level standard mechas. Even if it is a backward sixteenth-generation standard mecha, I can be like an old man and defeat one against three in the first battle. But they said...

"

Jiang Li was a little curious: "What did they say?"

"They said that the most intense competition right now is the sixteenth-generation standard mecha, because that is the mecha that the old man has flown and used to create miracles."

"Hahaha, that makes sense. How about changing to another model?"

"None of them."

Fang Wang sighed again: "It's always been said that we have 300,000 active mecha warriors. I always thought there couldn't be that many, but only then did I know that we really do. One-third

Mecha warriors with combat experience have average synchronization rate test scores, but they are unwilling to quit. Compared with their combat experience, our academic performance and test scores are nothing."

Jiang Li nodded in approval: "Indeed, no matter how good your grades are, they can't compare to a veteran on the battlefield. When we go to the battlefield in the future, we must not take it lightly. If you die because of blind confidence, I'm really sorry for the old man."

Fang Wang said firmly: "I will not be sorry to the old man. I just want to catch up with the old man."

"What's the point of saying this again, you can't even go to an alien planet?"

"There's no point in even saying it. Tell me, when can we catch up with the old man?"

"Well..." Jiang Li muttered: "Ten years?"

"It won't take that long." Fang Wang said confidently: "It only took the old man three years to gain the power of qi. Our starting point is much higher than the old man's back then, and the performance of the current mecha is also much stronger than before. I think

, five years, maybe.”

"Haha, do you think the old man is really old?"

"Don't dare say this nonsense. Ji Rong Xinyue will beat me if she hears it."

Fang Wang, who was lying on the ground, looked around like a tortoise. When he didn't see Ji Rong Xinyue, he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Look, Ji Rong Xinyue can beat the two of us now, which shows that he has a high starting point."

The benefits are really great. Even if we are not as good as Ji Rong Xinyue, the old man..."

Hearing what Fang Wang said, Jiang Li was also a little moved.

After all, they are young people. If they don’t even have this youthful spirit, what kind of young people are they?

Didi.

The prompt sounded suddenly, and the two of them looked at their bracelets at the same time, their eyes becoming surprised.

"Ninth Stage Realm?"

Three years after Ji Xinghe proposed the Nine Stages Realm, and three years after the Federation lifted the top secret ban on the existence of Qi, the official finally officially promulgated the "Nine Stages of the Realm".

Different from what Ji Xinghe said at the time, the reference standard for the first seven stages is no longer the specific Imperial Orangutan, but the relevant testing standards determined after testing and analysis and calculation.

After reading the standards of the first stage, Fang Wang was stunned and said: "I can kill a cow with one punch now, so I am only in the first stage?"

"Who isn't?"

Jiang Li frowned and didn't believe it.

Fang Wang is not bragging. He can really kill a cow with one punch. Of course, factors such as the position and angle of the attack, as well as his own condition, need to be carefully considered.

Not just a random punch can kill a random cow.

But this is really an exaggeration, and what Fang Wang can do, Jiang Li can naturally do.

"The assessment standards for the second stage..." Fang Wang looked at it and suddenly sat up with a shocked expression: "Isn't this talking about Ji Rong Xinyue?"

Jiang Li had also read the standards for the second stage, and sat up after Fang Wang with a serious expression: "Yes, this is about Ji Rong Xinyue, and, as far as I know, only Ji Rongxin Yue meets the criteria.

This standard.”

"The second stage of eleven years old? Or the only one?" Fang Wang exclaimed: "I have lived ten years longer than her, but have I lived in vain?"

"You can't say that." Jiang Li shook his head and said, "Although we are eleven or twelve years older than her, we both accepted the old man's gift at the same time."

"If you accept it at the same time, but if you are missing a certain level, wouldn't that make your life even more in vain?"

"..."

Jiang Li was speechless and began to look at the standards for subsequent realms. He became more and more surprised, excited and looking forward to it.

"The third stage, under the standard environment of the Blue Star, ten kilometers in ten minutes? Is it true? It only takes six seconds to reach one hundred meters, and it can still last ten minutes."

"In the fourth stage, can you break 200 mm thick ordinary armor with your fist? 200 mm, how many centimeters is it?"

"You're stupid, 20 centimeters is much longer than you."

"It's the thickness, not the length. Wait, how do you know?"

"..." Fang Wang looked at the screen of the bracelet and said steadily: "Let's look at the standard of the fifth stage. This standard, under the standard environment of the Blue Star, can break through 100 meters within three seconds. This is also

It’s too exaggerated, it’s faster than a dog.”

"Anything is faster than a dog. This has exceeded the theoretical limit of the human body."

"Theoretical limits of the human body? Theoretically, can a person break 200 mm thick conventional armor with one punch? It's not a 200 mm thick Taekwondo plate, it's metal."

"The defense level is equivalent to 200 mm thick conventional armor. It does not really allow you to break 200 mm thick metal."

"What's the difference?"

Fang Wang and Jiang Li looked at each other, moved their buttocks together, and continued to watch and discuss.

"The sixth stage, leaving a three-centimeter-deep punch mark on the tungsten steel alloy?"
To be continued...
