There is no twelfth-generation core engine in Base Six, which is one of the reasons why Ji Xinghe failed to replace it, but there is an eleventh-generation core engine. Starting from the 27th generation of federal standard mechas, all mechas Capital City has been equipped with this engine as standard, and among the 50,000 mechas currently in service by the Federation on alien planets, more than 20,000 are new mechas including the 27th generation standard mechas.

The previous twenty-sixth generation of standard mechas are no longer in production, but they are still in use, just like many discontinued cars can still run around on the road. Lagging performance is a problem, but the bigger problem is replacing If you can’t afford it, just use it if you can, and you have to use it.

Some first-level mecha warriors and special-level mecha warriors who are good at using previous-generation mechas will also undergo some similar upgrades, such as replacing more advanced engines and supporting parts. Only Ji Xinghe does not have exclusive Non-professional mecha warriors with mechas, or mecha warriors who do not have their own mechas, only use them every time they need to use mechas.

"I'm really a genius."

Chen Mu did not hesitate to praise himself. Looking at Xingyue, who had replaced the eleventh generation core engine, he shouted loudly: "I thought of this day when I designed this piece, let alone the eleventh generation core engine. , even the twelfth-generation core engine, or the thirteenth-generation core engine under development, can be replaced on Xingyue as long as it is obtained."

Ji Xinghe nodded in agreement: "Yes, you are a genius."

This is said sincerely, because although Xingyue's main design work was completed by Ji Xinghe himself, Shen Mu's contribution is no less than that of Ji Xinghe, especially the combination of the core engine and the mecha's energy supply system and transmission system. Most of the work was basically completed by Shen Mu alone, and Ji Xinghe could only be regarded as a helper. He put forward his own demands, and Shen Mu completed the design after exhausting his efforts. The cooperation between the two people had a close feeling.

Su He, who was accompanied by Ji Rong Xinyue and a camera, couldn't help but praise: "You two are both geniuses, different geniuses."

"Hehehehe..." Shen Mu laughed happily, making Ji Rong Xinyue look at him with strange eyes, but he didn't notice it and continued to say proudly: "Lao Ji will become an ace mecha in the future. Warrior, I will apply to be Lao Ji's full-time mechanic. With our two swords, master and apprentice, we can take the head of the emperor's orangutan and dog."

Su He smiled and struck: "When I become an ace mecha warrior, does he still need you to be his mechanic? He can also repair mechas himself. Speaking of all ace mecha warriors, including There are many special-level mecha warriors like Major Han Li and Major Jackson. They don’t know how to repair mechas, right?”

"Of course it is necessary. Lao Ji's physical fitness is not good. He has no strength after fighting. How can he repair the mecha? I don't have to fight, so I can help Lao Ji repair the mecha." Shen Mu glanced at Su He. He nodded and said: "Yes, they don't know how to repair mechas, or what they can repair are minor problems. Therefore, Lao Ji is the strongest mecha warrior among mecha mechanics, and the strongest mecha warrior among mecha mechanics. "

Su He's eyes lit up: "This sentence is good, I will edit it into it."

"It's okay to edit it in, but I said if Lao Ji's physical fitness is not good enough, you have to lose it for me. I said I have to lose it even if I don't have to fight."

"Why?"

"Because I am learning martial arts from Lao Ji. From now on, the whole federation will know that I am Lao Ji's apprentice. If I say that my master is not physically fit and that I can't fight, am I embarrassing my master?"

"You're embarrassing yourself, right?"

"You don't care. Besides, Xinxin will definitely be very good at fighting when she grows up. It would be so embarrassing if I can't fight like a junior sister like Xinxin. Brother Su, when you are filming and editing, you have to make me into a person who can't fight. A peerless master who takes action easily, do you understand what I mean?"

"Now you call me Brother Su, don't you call me Lao Su?"

"Brother Su, Brother Su, I will call you Brother Su from now on."

Amidst the laughter, Xingyue, who had replaced the new engine, once again started the actual machine test. Because it is a non-mass production model, this kind of actual machine test is destined to be carried out many times. Including the previous use of the machine in the No. 6 base warehouse. The process of discarding parts, repairing them and assembling them into stars and moons is also necessary.

The design plan on the drawing is always what is on the drawing. The mecha is not a bungalow or a three-story building, but the equivalent of a skyscraper or a cross-sea bridge. The demonstration of the design plan may even take longer than the construction time.

The Xingyue assembled using discarded parts can be called the first generation Xingyue, or it can also be called an experimental model. Its main purpose is to test whether the design is reasonable and whether it can produce the desired effect after completion.

Facts have proved that the first-generation Xingyue, led by Ji Xinghe and Shen Mu, and more than 50% of the mechanics in the No. 6 base mechanical repair area participated in building it, had a certain degree of actual combat capability when it was assembled. Just because Zero The parts are all defective, so the actual combat capability is not strong.

The real-machine test after the engine replacement was completed went very smoothly. Subsequent replacement and upgrade of other parts will be much simpler, and there is no need to conduct real-machine testing every time.

"Funds are limited, so we need to discuss where to start upgrading." Shen Mu said: "My suggestion is to start with the energy transmission board. Lao Ji, I believe in your ability to repair the energy transmission board, but after repairing these boards It is really too thin and cannot withstand the full power burst of the eleventh-generation engine. It cracked on the energy transmission plate, and Xingyue will probably also crack on the spot."

"Can."

"Then there are nuclear fuel cells. Like engines, different generations of nuclear fuel cells can provide different levels of energy. Xingyue focuses on battery life, so we can't use the previous Imperial mecha nuclear fuel cells. That stuff is also lagging behind in the Empire. " Chen Mu sighed: "It would be great if I had money to buy a mecha with a nuclear fusion reactor. It would be no problem to use full power mode non-stop for a whole day."

"Everything that will happen in the future will happen."

"After the three major replacements of the core engine, energy transmission board, and nuclear fuel cell are completed, my money will be gone."

"One more thing, the battle statistics are almost finished."

"Then replace Xingyue's joints, starting with the joints in the lower body, because running and moving will cause great damage to the joints. After replacement, Xingyue's mobility will be greatly enhanced."

"Okay, I'm going to ask how many contribution points I can get. If it doesn't work, I won't be promoted to military rank. I just need contribution points."

"Yes, what's the use of military rank? If you want to be a second lieutenant, old man, you can apply for an independent operating area in the machine repair area, and then repair thirty mechas to be promoted to second lieutenant. I'm about to be promoted to lieutenant now. "

While he was talking, Lieutenant Colonel Chen Xun came over, but it was a little different from the past where he would say everything in person.

"Sergeant Ji Xinghe, let's talk?"

"good."

"Reporter Su He, please don't film this section."

"Ah? But..." Su He was a little reluctant. He was afraid that Ji Xinghe would be bullied. Without 300 million viewers, what could Ji Xinghe bargain with his superiors?

"It's okay." Ji Xinghe patted Su He on the shoulder, and followed Lieutenant Colonel Chen Xun to an open area in the machine repair area. This was the area where tractors were parked, and there was no one around.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Ji Xinghe felt that when he was the only one facing Chen Xun, the cold expression on Chen Xun's face suddenly softened a little, but at first glance he was still expressionless. The difference may be in his eyes.

"Well..." Lieutenant Colonel Chen Xun pondered for a moment before saying, "You know, our superiors are not only soldiers, but also politicians."
