The dismantling work went smoothly. Ji Xinghe returned to his mecha, marked it on the map, and left with the parts he disassembled. If given a chance, he would come and dismantle the three parts.

After dragging all the Imperial mechas back, the base on the other side that got the news can also come and pick up the mechas during a period when the war is relatively calm.

After crossing this five-kilometer-long area, communication was truly restored. Both Cripple and Ji Xinghe got in touch with the base. The blind man had already explained everything about the situation, and the two of them didn't need to say much.

, just need to make supplements and then transfer the mecha’s records back.

"Corporal Ji Xinghe, please confirm your physical condition, as well as the mecha's mobility and combat capabilities."

The voice in the communicator made Ji Xinghe stunned for a moment. Is this a corporal? Sure enough, the promotion speed during the war is not the fastest, only faster. The speed is only related to the war and ability. The blind man completed it first.

After reporting the situation and transmitting the contents of his mecha recorder, Base 6 completed the assessment as soon as possible.

As a result, Ji Xinghe, the Federation's oldest recruit, had just left the relatively comfortable Base 6 for three days and had already been promoted from private to corporal. Not only was his military rank upgraded by two levels, he was also promoted from a third-level mecha warrior to a corporal.

Level 2 Mecha Warrior.

"There's nothing wrong with my body, and there's nothing wrong with my mecha."

"We have received the self-inspection report. The integrity of your mecha is only 89%. Please pay attention to safety in possible battles that may occur in the future."

"OK, thanks."

The call ended. No one praised Ji Xinghe's strength in this communication. Even those who saw the video record of Ji Xinghe's battle couldn't hold back their cheers. No one held Ji Xinghe accountable for disobeying Cripple's order.

In this matter, urgency must be followed. Although military orders are more important than anything else, what Cripple issued was not a real military order. Ji Xinghe proved that Cripple and everyone had seriously misjudged his strength.

If Ji Xinghe had asked those people in the base, "Do you believe me?", they might be as willing to believe it as the lame and blind people are now.

The reason why the Imperial Mecha appeared in the Grand Canyon has nothing to do with Ji Xinghe, nor the Blind Man and the Cripple. The mission of the two of them became to support the No. 3 base that was closer to the battlefield. Three aircraft were found in the canyon.

The mecha matter will be investigated by more professional people.

Ji Xinghe's mission was even simpler. He didn't actually receive any missions. He only had the sole purpose of choosing to come by himself. He was going to base three to get medicine, and then he would return to base six with the medicine and his trophies.

The process of rushing in the Grand Canyon is not boring. After the blind man is fine, the three people can chat freely on the shortwave communication channel. The shortwave communication channel that can originally cover a range of ten kilometers can only be used in the complex environment of the canyon.

Within three kilometers, there will still be some noise, but this does not affect chatting.

Ji Xinghe was also very chatty, and he had many questions that needed experienced warriors like Lame and Blind to answer.

"Why no guns? I mean, the kind of guns that mechas can use."

"It's hard to aim. It's already difficult to control a mecha to maneuver, let alone pilot a mecha to aim with a gun. Moreover, combat consumes a lot of ammunition. Carrying a large amount of ammunition will affect the mecha's maneuverability.

, changing the magazine is not easy either.”

At this time, Ji Xinghe realized how ridiculous it was when he told Major General Tu Yuan that he only needed a gun. Bringing a knife to an alien planet to fight mechas was more like a joke. Without the mechas to provide

With such powerful power, his sword cannot penetrate even the weakest part of the mecha's armor.

"But we also have some sharpshooters." The blind man added after the lame man answered: "Their guns can even directly break through mechas, but if they want to use their marksmanship, bulky space suits will not work. They are wearing

A small mecha similar to a personal exoskeleton armor, I heard that those things are quite expensive."

The height of small mechas is less than 2.2 meters, which is basically the same height and girth as the human body. Although they are very flexible, the power they can provide is very small in comparison. They are not enough to face conventional mechas.

Only weapons such as firearms can be used for combat.

"The sharpshooters are indeed very powerful. I have encountered them before. When our mechas were fighting, they assisted in shooting, which made the fight much easier." Cripple continued: "But the problem is that there are often dust storms on alien planets, and there are always several of them.

The kind where the moon doesn’t stop. In that environment, other weapons and equipment except mechas are basically useless, and they can’t see the target and can’t snipe.”

The speed of a dust storm on an alien planet can reach more than 180 meters per second. The wind speed of a Category 12 typhoon on the Blue Star is only 32.6 meters per second, which is far less intense than the intensity of an alien dust storm. Moreover, once an alien dust storm blows up, it can last for weeks or even decades.

months, covering a huge area, often thousands of kilometers, making the alien environment more complex. Every few years there will be dust storms that can cover the entire alien star. At this time, use relevant observation equipment to see the alien star from the blue star

It's like looking at a dark red lantern in space.

"What bothers me the most is the dust storm. Not only the communication is useless, our satellites are also useless. We can't see anything. The radar and sonar device on the mecha is also useless. It's all blind on the surface..."

"There's nothing we can do about it. Those orangutans in the empire who are not afraid of death don't care about dust storms. They like to come out and fight us during dust storms. Because we don't have satellites, we don't have space fire coverage, and individual starships are not good either.

Used it. I encountered a dust storm before, and I didn’t realize until the Imperial mecha was only more than thirty meters away from me. I was shocked..."

The lame man and the blind man talked without stopping, not because they really wanted to chat, nor because they wanted to show off their heroic past, but because the two of them were very sure of one thing: Ji Xinghe could not only be in the base.

Be a mechanic.

It's not just a matter of strength, but also a matter of character. Being able to disobey the lame man's instructions at that time, and being so confident that he asked the blind man if he believed in him, can already explain everything.

If Ji Xinghe must go to the battlefield, then the blind man and the lame man's many experiences will be able to help Ji Xinghe in the future. Just like Ji Xinghe taught them fighting skills, they are also teaching Ji Xinghe about mecha combat and

Various knowledge about alien environments.

A group of three must include our division, and there happened to be three of them. When they left the Grand Canyon and landed on the surface, it was the afternoon of the alien planet.

"I really miss the fiery red sun. What Mie scattering makes the sun look blue and not like the middle of winter."

"I miss the moon more. I haven't seen it for many years. What about you, Lao Ji?"

"I...miss my granddaughter."

"Then let's hurry up, we have enough energy."

The blue sun was high in the sky, the tawny land was vast, and the wind was as sharp as a knife. As they chased the three running mechas, orange-red footprints appeared on the ground they stepped on. They were the most abundant ones on the alien planet.

Hematite is scattered throughout the alien dust.
