Chapter 107

　"The temperature is so high, and you don't say anything, aren't you afraid of blowing yourself up?" Lu Bixing connected to the mental network and reported a repair malfunction to the small robot next to him, "The heat sink is loose."

　Saturday wiped his face . , After experiencing countless battles and displacement, he is no longer the baby-faced man who used his fists to defeat his younger brothers. It may be that the harsh military posture has changed his stance, or it may be that he is gifted. He is over thirty, He jumped up a little higher and looked a lot taller.

　He had not rested for more than 30 hours, and his face still showed the exhaustion of being abused by soothing drugs. He still chased Lu Bixing relentlessly, never missing any opportunity to learn: "Teacher Lu, this is "Is it caused by high-energy particle flow leakage?"

　"Yes, but leakage is not the fundamental problem. Check your protective cover," Lu Bixing said, "Did you see it? The leakage is because the high-energy consumption mode of the protective cover is disabled. ——Has your mental network been invaded? During the battle for the mental network, the human-machine docking port will vibrate, and the mecha may be partially dysfunctional and disabled. If you feel something is wrong, remember to reset it in time - there is no way , this model is still too old."

　Saturday nodded again and again, taking notes on his wrist.

　"Don't remember such small things, just focus on what you should focus on." Lu Bixing jumped off the mental net. This was already the forty-sixth mecha he had inspected. Repeatedly connecting and disconnecting the mental net was very draining. He rubbed his eyes, feeling that he probably needed a shot of soothing medicine, "I wrote a common troubleshooting procedure for mechas last night. It has been handed over to the engineering team for trial and error. After three rounds, it can be installed without any problems - you guys "How about the supplies?"

　"You must have enough food," Saturday said. "What about nutritional injections? After one injection, you don't need to eat anything else for two months. It seems that it is not being used up quickly, mainly because of the weapons. Captain Turan Guard is now It's crazy. After every battle, we are required to upload military recorders and put two computers there to check. Once we find out who has a too high error rate..."

　I shuddered on Saturday and said, "Forget it. This is so crazy - can you tell the director that we will build a human rights protection bureau at some point? There is no place to complain to her now. "

　" Let's protect human lives first, and then mention human rights after protecting them," the electronic pen turned on Lu Bixing's fingertips. A circle, dissipated into a handful of light spots, and returned to the personal terminal on his wrist, "Well, I know about the missile problem, what else is missing?"

　"Mecha," Saturday said, "Our mecha's destruction rate is far away Lower than the opponent, but let's put it this way, if they have a thousand mechas, even if the destruction rate is 90%, what about us? If one of them is shot down, the destruction rate will increase by one percentage point. , Even if there are enough mechas, there are not enough pilots. "

　As the former captain of the Silver Ninth Guard, Turan was originally a vanguard in wartime. At this time, there was a huge disparity in strength with the enemy, so she must use extremely high mobility to win.

　"To tell you the truth, Teacher Lu, even I have trouble keeping up with her," Saturday said. "Bottom told me about the junior mecha. At first, I thought this kind of thing was too dangerous, but now it seems... ...Oh, when will it be put into production?"

　Lu Bixing was thinking about something and said without raising his head: "Any time."

　"Ah?" Saturday was stunned, "Didn't you say that they have changed their research direction?"

　"Primary mecha I drew designs for them when I was a kid and gave them to study them to coax them to learn more." Lu Bixing said, "When I was a kid, I couldn't leave the house and had nothing to do. I drew a whole book on mass destruction. Although most of the weapons are fantasy, there are some things that are theoretically possible - the primary mecha is just one of them."

　Saturday looked at him with horror.

　"What are you looking at? Don't you have the stage of secondary school disease? I see you haven't even finished secondary school yet." Lu Bixing took a look at the smooth exterior of the mecha and found that his coat was wrinkled, so he decisively took it off and held it in his hand. Carrying it, "I..."

　At this moment, the air defense siren of the armed base where they were located suddenly sounded.

　Saturday reacted very quickly. He grabbed Lu Bixing and got into a nearby mecha that seemed relatively complete. Except for a few confused engineers, everyone in the entire mecha station avoided, got on the mecha, and covered each other. All organized, fast and silent.

　An engineer who had never seen the world wanted to scream, but his mouth was opened, but he didn't have the nerve to speak.

　The next moment, the huge protective shield was propped up, and the base's anti-missile system screamed, indicating an enemy sneak attack!

　Lu Bixing waved his hand and personally took over the mental network of the mecha where he was. Of course, all the mechas in the repair station needed repair. While he was doing repairs, he verbally explained the repair plan to the repair robot. At the same time, he connected to the communication channel of the Self-Defense Forces. , the Self-Defense Forces on patrol duty responded quickly within three seconds.

　Too soon, he thought.

　Turan is usually easy-going when joking, but he is ruthless when running the army. Running naked and running are playful, and sometimes the corporal punishment methods have reached the point of seriously insulting personal dignity. Lu Bixing, as a gentle man, has always been uncomfortable with it. But I have to admit that this is effective. Everyone who survived in her hands has been reborn.

　Saturday: "Teacher Lu, the protective shield of this mecha is damaged and cannot protect it. Let's replace it with another one as soon as possible!" Lu Bixing said without raising his head: "It doesn't matter - is this kind of sneak 　attack

　a common occurrence?"

A flat mechanical voice sounded in the armor: "Restart the protective shield - Restart failed - Try to restart a second time -"

　"It's common," Saturday said, "The captain of the Turan Guards led us to fight guerrillas, and the other party followed suit. , sending out scouts endlessly, usually with three or five small mechas operating together, and it is not easy to detect when approaching. Compared with them, we have a bigger target. Once a certain reconnaissance team finds us, they will report it. They will immediately launch a suicide attack - do you understand? They are both scouts and dead soldiers. They are not afraid of dying or losing mechas. There are too many lunatics in the anti-Ukrainian society. These days, I I'm almost having a nervous breakdown."

　The mecha reported: "The second restart failed—the third restart—"

　Lu Bixing put the mecha into maintenance mode and connected the personal terminal with his fingers as fast as lightning.

　Saturday couldn't help but speak again: "Teacher Lu, let's go first..."

　He trailed off as a high-pitched energy alarm sounded. A missile penetrated the anti-missile system and exploded directly in the middle of the base, a temporary 3D printed building. It was instantly wiped out, and at the same time, the deadly rays and particle flow spread out.

　Saturday's voice suddenly changed its tone: "Teacher Lu!"

　The protective shield has not been repaired yet!

　The shock wave knocked away the door of the mecha maintenance station, and the invisible demon broke in. Saturday's mind went blank. At this moment, Lu Bixing pressed lightly on his wrist, and the virtual screen of the personal terminal retracted. At the same time, the mecha made a soft "buzz" sound, and the protective cover indicator light suddenly turned on. It came into contact with the shock wave, and the fuselage shook violently.

　"The protective shield has been restarted successfully and is running well."

　"Lu Bixing!" Saturday was covered in cold sweat and almost collapsed.

　"Inspection completed," Lu Bixing said, "Engineer No. 001 operation."

　Turan's voice came from the communication channel: "There are a lot of rats coming back this time. The second team is ready to support, and the others are ready to evacuate at any time."

　Lu Bixing directly Asked in the communication channel: "If it is a search across the entire galaxy, I don't believe they are so fast. The other party's tracking efficiency is too high. The Anti-Ukrainian Union's research on jumps has always been ahead of the alliance. I doubt that the other party can locate where you are passing by. Jump point, judge your activity area based on this, and then send death squads to conduct a blanket search."

　Turan almost choked to death on his saliva: "Teacher Lu, why did you come to the front line? Did the general agree? Did the commander-in-chief allow it? The old man still expects you to take over his class. Who asked you to come to the front line to do thunder!"

　"Nonsense, if I don't come and take a look, how will I know how to allocate those pitiful resources in the next step? Is the meeting going to be held behind closed doors? We can't let the senior commander come in person." Lu Bixing said, "Captain of the guard, don't finish the fight. "Leave one for me to dissect."

　Turan: "No, you..."

　Before she could finish her sentence, the communication channel was interrupted - a common tactic of the anti-Ukrainian society.

　Lu Bixing stretched out his hand and touched the cabin wall of the mecha: "Baby, we just finished the maintenance, can you do it?"

　There is no artificial intelligence in the little mecha, so of course it cannot answer. The mental network is shining like a firefly, and Lu Bixing pushes it onto the track. It seems that To get closer to this battle.

　Saturday watched his words and suddenly said: "Teacher Lu, I think your mood seems not right."

　Lu Bixing looked back at him and said, "Is it obvious?"

　Saturday shook his head: "Not obvious, intuition."

　"That's right, I'll just bet on football from now on . I want you to be my adviser," the anti-missile system of the small military base is much more sensitive than the one on the planet because it is small. It exploded into a mess in the artificial atmosphere. The "breeze" that swept over the mecha was filled with your shock waves and particle flows that killed people without blinking an eye. , Lu Bixing suddenly speeded up the mecha, "I am very unhappy with the alliance now, but except for the old men and women who are concerned about the country and the people, the subordinates and juniors on the Morning Star cannot lose their temper, nor can they make radical remarks in front of them... Damn it."

　Saturday: "..."

　What did Teacher Lu, the benchmark of civilization, say just now? He rubbed his ears, suspecting that his ears needed to be repaired.

　The high-altitude enemy immediately captured his stray little mecha. When Lu Bixing was about to leave the orbit of the mecha, a cannon fired at him. Lu Bixing suddenly turned around at a huge angle, then accelerated violently and crashed into the enemy's position. middle.

　The enemy was accustomed to Turan being dispatched like a pack of wolves during this period. They didn't expect that there would be an unruly person here. In a hurry, three or four mechas fired missiles at him at the same time. Lu Biwen was very close. It passed through two missiles coquettishly, then turned off the power, and fired a high-energy particle cannon, which dazzled the opponent. At the same time, the mecha that lost power suddenly sank in the opposite direction of the particle cannon, just in time for After passing by, the tracking missiles were chasing after them. The missiles from both directions exploded into a ball and died together.

　Amidst the noise of the mecha's high-energy alarm, Saturday heard Lu Bixing gritting his teeth slightly and whispering: "How could they do this to him."

　At this time, the interfered communication channel was restored, and Turan was going crazy: "Lu Bixing ! Come back!"

　"Copy," Lu Bixing walked around in front of the enemy formation. After he finished, he quickly returned to the Self-Defense Forces, connected his personal terminal to the military recorder, and quickly read Based on the various data just collected, "The performance of the anti-Ukrainian mechas is obviously better than ours, but the quality of the pilots is average and lacks the ability to adapt to the situation - it is recommended to appropriately reduce the accuracy and weight of the missiles and sacrifice a little." The quality of weapons is to ensure supply. Captain Turan, is this acceptable?"

　Turan said confidently: "Even if you give me a brick, I can hit it right into their jet vent."

　Lu Bixing continued: "Junior I have already revised the mecha's drawings and manufacturing procedures. Allocating a few resources from the original mecha production line will be enough. I will make overall arrangements based on the mecha's damage rate, the number of new recruits, and the productivity of the production line... But maybe Even so, if the Silver Ten Guards still can't arrive, then I suggest burning a "fire break"."

　Turan: "What do you mean?"

　"It's just to block the passage. In ancient times, forest rangers used it to prevent forest and grassland fires. , usually the plants in a certain area are burned in advance to artificially create a fire break zone without flammable materials, so that if a fire breaks out in one direction and the fire reaches the fire break zone, it will no longer spread due to the lack of flammable materials. " said

　in the communication channel . Turan and Saturday said in unison: "You mean the jump point?"

　If starships and mechas are means of transportation, then the jump point is the road.

　Without a jump point that can fold space, the interstellar distance, which is often measured in light years, will never be covered even to death. The Jump Network is a miracle accomplished by generations of people in the Age of Discovery. It is on this basis that humans can continue to explore the extension of space.

　"Yes, a great transition point. Since the last old star calendar era, our collective cognitive level has stagnated, and we have driven backwards for nearly a thousand years. Except for entertainment and things related to personal enjoyment, all technology The level is declining, and we are still reaping the benefits of the Age of Discovery." Lu Bixing said in a low voice, "If we really can't survive, we will evacuate a few planet residents near the front line in batches, and then detonate the jump point and destroy the first planet. The eight galaxies have become an isolated island that cannot be entered or exited, so as not to spread the stupid disease."

　Everyone in the communication channel was silent - blowing up a few jump points during a war is nothing, and it does not even affect the jump network. It works normally and can be repaired afterwards, but the explosion method Lu Bixing mentioned is different. It is to directly change the "landform" of the universe.

　The Alliance Space Law clearly stipulates that this behavior is equivalent to betraying the Alliance and is a felony against humanity and society.

　"No, no," the former smuggler stammered on Saturday, "Does this mean... to set up one's own business and turn the eighth galaxy into an extraterritorial territory?"

　Lu Bixing asked gently, "Is there anything wrong?"

　"You should have done this a long time ago," Turan laughed heartlessly, "Mr. Lu, I like people like you who usually don't look for trouble, but make big trouble when you do it. If the general comes back today and gives you trouble, I'll protect you!"

　Lu Bixing smiled politely, without exposing the captain's arrogance.

　"Captain of the guard, long-range scanning revealed that there is a large group of people nearby."

　"The stars are unlucky today," Turan cursed in a low voice, "Pay attention to covering the ground personnel and prepare to evacuate!"

　The ground personnel of the temporary base had already done what they had done during the air raid. After getting ready for evacuation, Turan gave an order and all the mechas that could take off took off in an orderly manner. The other personnel entered the ecological cabin nearby and attached themselves to the fishing nets of other mechas. The mecha that had not yet completed its overhaul could only reluctantly be thrown away. Turan was so distressed that he almost cried.

　Her heart was bleeding, so her attacks were particularly ruthless. Several mecha scout teams that had been entangled just now were instantly beaten to pieces by her. However, then, heavy mental nets came down, and an anti-Ukrainian super-space heavy armor group suddenly appeared. The small mecha in the van was hit by the mental nets.

　Turan: "Shit, Teacher Lu, please... ah..."

　Communication interference struck again.

　Lu Bixing frowned and felt the mental network tremble violently - the radiation range of the opponent's heavy armor's mental network was too large, and this mecha was really old and useless, and the human-machine interface was really unstable. In an instant, the power system failed again, and the mecha that had just been undergoing maintenance had no backup power!

　Immediately afterwards, the particle cannon swept his tail, and the mecha flew out along the particle cannon. The enemy immediately discovered the problem with his mecha and fired at him.

　It was too late to save Turan.

　At the critical moment, Lu Bixing once again switched the moving mecha to maintenance mode when the human-machine interface was unstable. He almost fell to his knees on Saturday.

　The mecha that lost power collided with the guide/projectile in a straight line at a constant speed. There was a harsh alarm sound in the mecha, and it reported calmly like a schizophrenic: "The power system is trying to restart-"

　"Buzz", Saturday thought they were in charge. He hit the missile and closed his eyes subconsciously.

　At this moment, the mecha's power was successfully restarted. Almost as soon as it recovered, it turned sharply and missed the missile.

　Saturday's hanging heart dropped from mid-air: "It's too dangerous..."

　Before it could reach his chest, this thrilling operation directly caused the mecha's heat sink to burn through, and the power was completely scrapped.

　Saturday: "..."

　He felt he needed heart medicine.

　"Alas," Lu Bixing sighed, "I couldn't tell you earlier. I have to prepare to jump into the ecological cabin this time."

　However, the enemy did not give him a chance to jump into the ecological cabin and pursued him closely. The next moment, the mecha sounded the energy alarm again. ——There was a violent energy reaction at the jump point directly ahead. There was a large-scale mecha in front, and they were stuck in the middle!

　Then, even at high speed, without being able to see clearly how many enemy troops were coming in front, a huge fishing net with a large amount of protective gas came up towards them. The mecha's simulated gravity system failed, and both of them floated up.

　On Saturday, he hurriedly connected to the mental network as a backup driver, preparing to resist a wave of mental network attacks.

　Lu Bixing thought in surprise: "Has the Anti-Ukrainian Association learned how to capture alive?"

　The mecha that lost power quickly sank in like a bug flying into a spider web and was forcibly braked. The next moment, the communication channel was restored, and Lu Bixing heard Turan screaming. : "General!"

　General...jun?

　Lin Jingheng suddenly fell from the sky, which was beyond the expectations of both parties. The Anti-Ukrainian Party was deeply afraid of him. Before they had time to take action, they were frightened and thought they had stepped into a trap.

　The battle situation suddenly turned upside down.

　At the same time, the out-of-control small mecha was dragged into the heavy armor platform by the fishing net. The floating Lu Bixing fell down together with Saturday. He heard Zhan Lu's familiar voice saying: "General, please convey his greetings to Lu. Principal, he said that you are a very talented person and you don't have to fly mecha anymore. You can

　just stick a can with a "two kicks" to make a tank and go to the sky." Lu Bixing got up and flicked the ashes helplessly. Turn on the mental network and jump off the small mecha. Two medical cabins are already waiting at the door.

　Lu Bixing: "I don't have to...wait..."

　The medical cabin ignored his refusal, and first walked around him obediently, then unexpectedly stretched out several medical restraint manipulators to attack, forcibly tied him up, and stuffed him in He entered the medical cabin - just like what he did to Lin Jingheng in the asteroid belt.

　Saturday's legs trembled, and he was so frightened that he quickly climbed into the medical cabin: "I'll do it myself, I'll do it myself."

　Lu Bixing: "Zhan Lu, I want to talk to him!"

　Zhan Lu: "He refused."

　Lu Bixing exhaled . : "Okay, then tell him I love him."

　Zhan Lu was silent for a second, and then relayed: "He said 'get out'."

　Lu Bixing: "Then contact the captain of the Turan Guard for me and let her explain to the general. Zhan Lu

　was silent for a while, then replied: "Captain Turan Guard said he was hoarse and lost his voice."

　Lu Bixing: "..."

　Which bastard just said that he would cover him!

　Lu Bixing tried hard to get out of the mechanical hands - medical restraints, great mechanical power, even Lin Jingheng could be restrained motionless, let alone him.

　Lu Bixing thought for a while: "Zhan Lu, ask him for me, does he want to do whatever he wants to me by tying me up like this?"

　This time, Zhan Lu didn't answer, maybe because he was banned again, and then the medical hatch cover It fell down, completely shutting Lu Bixing inside, and a mask fell down, sealing his mouth.

　"General," Turan, who had lost his voice, said to Lin Jingheng on the communication channel, "the other side has begun to retreat."

　"Pursue," Lin Jingheng said, "until they are all shot down."

　Turan: "But Teacher Lu just said that he would have one left. Fight..."

　She trailed off when Zhan Lu suddenly interrupted: "Sir, the long-range scan revealed a group of unknown armed forces approaching."

　Lin Jingheng frowned.

　Turan immediately ordered: "The forwards will retreat temporarily!"

　As soon as she finished speaking, a mecha team suddenly appeared behind the Anti-Ukrainian Association. At first glance, it looked like a strong reinforcement force. Before Turan's forwards could turn around, a new mecha team suddenly appeared. The unknown armed forces suddenly opened fire. To everyone's surprise, they took the anti-Ukrainian group's retreat!
