Although Shen Mu may seem like a joke at times, his professionalism is undoubted. Otherwise, it would not have been possible for him to have an independent operating area, obtain the rank of second lieutenant, and obtain the title of second lieutenant when he first came to the alien planet. He himself said it was the highest allowance for special talents.

Therefore, in the end, Xingyue was assembled by Shen Mu himself. Even Ji Xinghe's personal inspection could not find any problems. After running to help Ji Xinghe apply for the Federation's eleventh generation core mecha engine and the alloy shield with its own impact function, , Chen Mu returned to the machine repair area, cautiously approached Su He and asked in a low voice.

"Have you got a hammer, old man?"

"Get a hammer?"

"Yes, I just hit Xingyue's body with a hammer."

"No."

"That's good, that's good."

Shen Mu, who breathed a long sigh of relief, sighed helplessly: "Old Su, as a professional mechanic with a serious academic background, why do you think that I am capable of repairing mecha parts and assembling mechas? Will my ability be inferior to that of a wild guy like Lao Ji?"

Su He laughed: "Don't you have the same mentality as those serious mecha warriors who think they can't beat Lao Ji? It's normal, because Lao Ji has created miracles."

"Yes, I have created miracles more than once."

What Chen Mu first thought of was not the battle in which Ji Xinghe defeated three mechas in the canyon, nor was it the nearly sweeping battle in the machine repair area where he repaired many parts that required queuing up for robotic arms and machine tools. That ten-kilometer long-distance run that Xinghe participated in.

Shen Mu was also on Azure Star at that time and saw the whole process through the Internet. For a young man like him, running ten kilometers is not a problem, but his physical fitness is already very good, but he can only barely run at 34 He ran ten kilometers in minutes, and after finishing the run, he wanted to collapse on the ground motionless. However, Ji Xinghe, who had finished running ten kilometers at that time, was very determined even though his pace was slow, which made many people suspect that Ji Xinghe was not sixty. Five years old.

"Don't think too much." Su He patted Shen Mu on the shoulder and said in a relaxed tone: "Xiao Shen, there are some amazing and talented people in every era. They originate from Qingping like the wind. At the end of the day, achievements are made in the wilderness, using the ordinary past to shape the extraordinary present, and writing legends about the future."

Chen Mu glared: "Are you adding drama to yourself again? There are so many literate words every day, can't you be more straightforward? Do you know that you make me look uneducated and damage my status? The image in front of 300 million viewers, if I can't find a wife in the future, can you afford this responsibility?"

"Uh... Okay, I'll cut this section out." Su He lied casually and then said: "To put it bluntly, Lao Ji's family conditions are actually pretty good, and his living standard has always been very good. Otherwise, He’s not even 1.9 meters tall. The level of education he received is also very good. You keep saying he’s a wild kid, but the mechanical engineering major he went to in college is ranked among the best in Longzhou, right?”

"Seventh." Chen Mu said: "I checked, the mechanical engineering major of the university I went to ranked seventh in the entire Longzhou."

"Yes, seventh is already very impressive. After all, our mechanical engineering major in Longzhou is the best on Azure Star, so Lao Ji is not actually a wild kid. He is just a wild kid in mecha-related aspects." Su He looked at it. Ji Xinghe, who was holding Ji Rong Xinyue's hand over from a distance, spoke faster: "But this can't be blamed on Lao Ji. When he went to college, there were no mechas in the world. He had no place to learn if he wanted to. Can be self-taught.”

Chen Mu watched Ji Xinghe getting closer and closer, and said impatiently: "What exactly do you want to say, the key point, the key point."

Su He smiled and asked: "Think about it, what kind of miracle is it that someone can win an empire with only a broken bowl at the beginning? In comparison, isn't Lao Ji's starting point much higher?"

Chen Mu finally understood, nodded in agreement and then asked: "What about age? Where is physical strength?"

"Old age means that I have spent more time studying than others, and my physical strength has declined... So I want to use a mecha. No matter how good my physical fitness is, I can't compare to a mecha."

"That makes sense."

The two suddenly squatted down at the same time to greet Ji Rong Xinyue who was running over. After Ji Xinghe came back, Ji Rong Xinyue, who was unwilling to let others hold hands, became cheerful again and would let go of Ji Xinghe's hand and run towards her. Stars and Moon.

Yes, Ji Rong Xinyue ran towards Xingyue, bypassing Su He and Chen Mu who were a little embarrassed. Fortunately, there was a greeting voice, so it wouldn't be too embarrassing.

"Hello Uncle Su He, hello Uncle Chen Mu."

"Hello Xinxin."

"Xinxin, slow down."

When Ji Rong Xinyue looked at Xingyue, Su He stood next to Ji Xinghe and whispered: "Some people I have contacted these days have agreed to sell their contribution points to you, and some of them have agreed to transfer the money to you first. , when the dust storm is over and communications are restored, I will contact Pei Jing and ask her to transfer your money to these people's relatives."

"Okay, thank you, Xiao Su." Ji Xinghe has not forgotten that he still has a sum of money on the Blue Star. It is all the wealth he has saved in his life, including the pension advanced in advance.

Chen Mu next to him asked curiously: "How much is it? You must have saved a lot of money over the years, old man."

Ji Xinghe looked at the happy Ji Rong Xinyue and was in a very good mood, so he answered patiently: "It's not much, there are 3.3 million in total, and most of it is money from selling houses and pensions. Actually, I Not much saved.”

Shen Mu was stunned for a moment: "Only 3.3 million? Your car repair skills are so good, your salary must be very high. Is your boss deducting your salary?"

"There is no deduction. My salary is indeed very high, about 35,000 to 40,000 per month. When I first started working, it was a little lower, only 15,000 per month, but after working for three months, my salary has increased. At twenty-three thousand."

"Then after including the house and pension, why is it only 3.3 million? I remember that the housing prices in Xinfeng City are not low. The average price is more than 20,000 per square meter, right?"

Su He frowned and said, "Why do you ask so clearly?"

Shen Mu replied confidently: "I will use Laoji to calculate how much money I can save in the future."

"It's more than 20,000 yuan per square meter, and it sold for almost 3 million yuan." Ji Xinghe didn't mind, and explained: "The money is less because I spend money more. Because of my martial arts training, I have only eaten meat since junior high school. I eat beef every day, and I also make some medicinal wine for it after work. In addition, I also take some paid online courses during my off work time. What I learn on paper is ultimately shallow. If there is a teacher to teach me, my learning efficiency will be higher, so I will go back and forth. I only saved so much money."

Chen Mu wanted to ask more, but was interrupted by Su He's eyes, because if he continued to ask, he would definitely ask about things that Ji Xinghe didn't want to mention, such as his parents' inheritance, Ji Chenxing's raising expenses, etc...

Let’s put aside the issue of money. Ji Xinghe will have a large number of contribution points, not only from the transaction, but also from his military exploits this time. The contribution points that have been determined to be replaced by the eleventh generation engine and alloy shield are the proceeds captured on the battlefield.

, is not a real military exploit.

"My body is really fine. Let's start Xingyue's actual machine test now." Ji Xinghe looked at Xingyue standing solemnly and said with expectation: "If everything is fine, it proves that this design plan is feasible.

, then you can start upgrading it.”

The so-called upgrade is to replace parts and components, gradually replacing those parts made with discarded parts with new ones with better performance. Each replacement can be called an upgrade.

Why not replace them all at once? Because the cost of mechas is too high. The federal latest thirty-sixth generation standard mechas cost an average of 67 million yuan each, and this is still a mass-produced model. Xingyue

The cost of this kind of independently designed and built mecha will inevitably increase a lot, so Ji Xinghe's money is far from enough.

"No problem. I don't have any more tasks anyway. I'll help you with this matter. Let's not be in a hurry and upgrade Xingyue bit by bit. One day it will be able to exert its full performance." Shen Mu's voice was impassioned.

, but he no longer has any confidence in his heart. He just asked Ji Xinghe why he spent so little money. It was because he knew that Xingyue needed a lot of money to complete all the upgrades.

Su He finally understood, hesitated and asked: "Old Ji, how about after the dust storm is over, I contact our TV station and help you get some advertising endorsements?"

Ji Xinghe was stunned for a moment.

"May I?"

"You can try, it's easier than going to the battlefield to seize supplies." Su He looked at Ji Xinghe with a "I've seen through you" expression and said, "Old Ji, I know you are planning to do this, but it really doesn't work."

Ji Xinghe was silent. As a military mascot, he did not have the freedom to go to the battlefield casually, and his granddaughter still needed to be taken care of.

Chen Mu had a different opinion: "Actually, there is another way to complete Xingyue faster."

Su He asked curiously: "What can I do?"

"Lao Ji has become an ace mecha warrior. As long as he becomes an ace, even if he wants two Xingyue, the ace will have a spare mecha."

"If Lao Ji can become an ace mecha warrior, his seizures will definitely be enough to build two Xingyue. Aren't you talking nonsense?"

"You just ask me whether Lao Ji has the strength to become an ace. You ask me if I can get two exclusive Xingyue planes if I become an ace?"

"Uh... yes, I can."

"Then what I said was nonsense?"

"no."
