Mecha and Knife

Ji Xinghe and his Xinghe team, who finally returned to the No. 6 base, did not get together with Master Liu and others for a longer time. When they arrived, the transfer convoys of No. 3 and No. 6 bases were ready. And the task they received was to set off immediately.

"Thank you and take care."

Ji Xinghe accepted the gift they gave Ji Rong Xinyue, waved his hand and said goodbye, because goodbye may mean never seeing him again.

Running all the way without any trouble, it took three days to transfer the convoy, and finally arrived at the relatively safe No. 5 base. The sudden increase in the population of No. 5 base did not fall into a situation of resource constraints. The Federation has long been aware of this. Prepare.

Ji Rong Xinyue was very happy after receiving the gift, and Ji Xinghe's return intact made her even happier.

"Grandpa, what does orbital airborne mean?"

For many people, it is still confidential information, which was unreservedly disclosed by Ji Xinghe to Ji Rong Xinyue, even including the miniaturization of the leap gate device, Ji Xinghe also told Ji Rong Xinyue.

This is not a leak. It won't take long for everyone on the entire alien planet to know this temporary confidential information. The empire will not keep using this big killer when the diamond-shaped metal body has been exposed.

Similarly, what was originally a major weapon for the Federation to deal with this war was also put into use in advance because of the appearance of the diamond-shaped metal body.

"Orbital airborne is to take a spaceship or a space battleship, or it may be a modified individual starship, go to the low-earth orbit of the alien star, and maintain the speed that can appear above any surface position of the alien star at any time. When it’s time to jump right off the top.”

"Ah? Then grandpa, don't go, okay, it's so high, it must be very painful to jump off." What Ji Rong Xinyue wanted to say was not pain. Her precocity surpassed everyone's perception of her, just because of some words I don't want to say it.

"Grandpa doesn't have to go. However, it really won't hurt, because if grandpa goes, he will jump off the alien orbit wearing a mecha and have a parachute."

"Parachute? I know, I've learned it before." Ji Rong Xinyue's reaction was different from Ji Xinghe's expectations. She seemed to be asked a question by a teacher in class, and she said with a normal expression: "Many, many years ago, Xinxin didn't Remember, our Tianwen alien probe in Longzhou used a parachute, and Xinxin remembers that it seemed to deploy a zigzag umbrella with more than 200 square meters, and then cooperate with the main engine of the probe to slow down."

"Yes, Xinxin is really smart."

Ji Xinghe breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Ji Rong Xinyue's expression and was a little worried, and began to explain in detail. These are all the information Tu Yuan told him.

"At that time, the Tianwen detector weighed five tons, which was much heavier than the mecha worn by my grandfather. After using the parachute, the detector was able to decelerate from a speed close to Mach 2 to 95 meters per second. The mecha from The parachute used during the orbital airborne will not be as big as two hundred square meters, but it can slow down the landing speed of the mecha even more, and combined with the power device of the special kit for the orbital space mecha, it can achieve a non-destructive orbital airborne..."

Listening to Ji Xinghe's science popularization, Ji Rong Xinyue thought about it, and then asked when Ji Xinghe finally finished speaking: "Grandpa, is it because of the jump gate device that you are going to be an orbital airborne mech fighter?"

Ji Xinghe nodded: "Yes."

"Because of me?"

After Ji Rong Xinyue finished asking, he replied: "Because grandpa doesn't know when the leap gate device will suddenly be placed where Xinxin is, and at that time grandpa doesn't know whether you will protect Xinxin by her side." Is it? So, grandpa is going to leave Xinxin temporarily to become an orbital airborne mech fighter?"

Ji Xinghe was stunned, and Su He next to him was also stunned. They didn't expect Ji Rong Xinyue to say such a thing.

"Grandpa doesn't have to go, grandpa won't go."

Ji Xinghe's heart softened. He agreed to consider Tu Yuan's proposal because of Ji Rong Xinyue, but just as he chose to give up taking on more responsibilities and obligations for Ji Rong Xinyue, let him choose again, choose another Thousands of times, he would make the same choice.

This world is not as important to him as Ji Rong Xinyue, but without this world, can Ji Rong Xinyue really grow up happily?

Ji Xinghe, who would make the same choice 10,000 times again, who knows the torment he endured in his heart?

Ji Rong Xinyue did not bow her head this time, but looked up at Ji Xinghe's eyes with her small head, stretched out her right hand and clenched her fist, and waved it vigorously in the air.

"Grandpa, you go, don't worry about Xinxin." Ji Rong Xinyue said firmly: "Mom said that even if she misses Dad very much, even if Xinxin misses Dad very much, she must support Dad's decision. .Because there are more people who need the protection of their father and more people need the protection of their grandpa. Only a country can have a family. Although Xinxin does not understand why, Xinxin knows that her mother is right and her father is right. Therefore, grandpa must Do it right."

The childish voice sounded beside the two adults, but it shook their hearts like Hong Zhong Dalu.

They thought of Ji Rong Xinyue's mother, a mother who 'give up' her mother's love for this war. From a certain point of view, such a mother is selfish, and her choice does not affect Ji Rong Xinyue at all. fair.

From a certain point of view, such a mother is great. She is willing to dedicate everything to this war that concerns all mankind, including feelings, maternal love, and life... What kind of child can such a mother teach? Woolen cloth?

They thought of Ji Rong Xinyue's father. Su He had never met Ji Chenxing, but Ji Xinghe knew his son very well. But whether you understand it or not, it is an iron fact that Ji Chenxing sacrificed for this war. What kind of child would such a daughter inherited from a heroic father be like?

Ji Xinghe thought of himself, he respected Ji Chenxing's dream, knowing that Ji Chenxing might die in a different star like countless others, but he didn't use his father's identity to force Ji Chenxing not to join the army.

The sky fell and there was a tall man holding it up, but Ji Xinghe didn't say this to his son, so his son became the tall man. After the sacrifice of his son, he chose to be the tall man without any worries.

When Ji Rong Xinyue appeared, he chose to become a dwarf. It can be said that Ji Xinghe's philosophy is that only a family can have a country, but he has always respected those who think that only a country can have a family.

But now, Ji Rong Xinyue, who said that only a country can have a family, is educating Ji Xinghe, who believes that a family can only have a country.

There are serious conflicts of ideas between grandparents and grandchildren, but they are inherited in one continuous line because they respect each other's ideas.

The granddaughter is not proud of her grandfather's love and favor, and the grandfather does not influence her will because of her age.

"Xinxin."

"grandfather?"

"Actually, you don't have to be so sensible."

"But if I'm not sensible now, then I won't be sensible when I grow up. If we are all ignorant, when we grow up, we will lose."

Su He's hand holding the camera was trembling. He was shocked beyond measure by the conversation between the grandfather and grandson. How much he wanted to send this conversation back to Azure Star and show it in the documentary "The Old Man and the Stars and the Sea" , the sooner it is released the better.

The children of this generation should not be like Ji Rong Xinyue, but there must be children like Ji Rong Xinyue among them.

Everyone who fought on the alien planet is getting old, and the people who have made various contributions to this war on the blue star are all getting old. Not everyone can grow old and strong like Ji Xinghe, and Ji Xinghe, who is old and strong, is getting old.

Only children like Ji Rong Xinyue are growing up.

When the adults of this generation grow old, if this war has not been won, if there are no more children like Ji Rong Xinyue grow up and shoulder the responsibilities and obligations of the previous generation.

Then this war will definitely be lost, and human beings will be enslaved or even destroyed by the empire. The future forged with flesh and blood by the ancestors will disappear in the hands of the future they sacrificed their lives to protect.

"Grandpa." Ji Rong Xinyue held Ji Xinghe's right hand with both hands, and looked up at Ji Xinghe: "Xinxin really wants to be accompanied by grandpa every day, but Xinxin doesn't want to lose, because Xinxin knows that her mother doesn't want to lose." , Dad doesn't want to lose, grandpa doesn't want to lose, each of us doesn't want to lose, and we can't lose."

"Yes, we don't want to lose, we can't lose."

Ji Xinghe squatted down, looked into Xinxin's eyes and said seriously: "Grandpa promised Xinxin that we will not lose."

"Well, we will definitely not lose." Ji Rong Xinyue patted Ji Xinghe's shoulder like a little adult, and his tone was as serious as Ji Xinghe's: "Grandpa has to wait for Xinxin, when Xinxin grows up, he will definitely be able to become a Mecha warrior, Xinxin will join Grandpa's Star River Squad and fight side by side with Grandpa."

Ji Xinghe knew that what Jirong Xinyue really wanted to say was not 'wait', but 'don't die', he nodded firmly and held Jirong Xinyue's hand tightly.

"Okay, grandpa is waiting for you to join grandpa's Xinghe team. We, grandpa and grandson, will fight side by side."

Ji Rong Xinyue nodded heavily, stretched out her hand and clenched her fist again, and waved towards the sky, as if waving towards the sky full of stars covered by the ceiling, her face flushed and her voice was high.

"Squad Galaxy, invincible!"

"Squad Galaxy, invincible!"

Su He next to him also wanted to shout loudly, but he forcibly held back, he really didn't want to spoil the picture and sound of only the grandpa and grandson.

If every family in the Federation could be like Ji Xinghe's family, wouldn't this war have already been won?

It is not necessary for them to have the talents and strengths of the father and son Ji Xinghe and Ji Chenxing, nor the belief and attitude of the mother and son of Ms. Rong and Ji Rong Xinyue. It is only necessary that they can do their best like this family. Come support this war.

But if every family in the federation needs to be like this, how cruel is this war? Isn't the sacrifice of a few people just so that more people don't need to die because of this war?

Doesn't it mean that the adults who choose to sacrifice now represent that the children in the future don't have to sacrifice?

The emotions in Su He's heart were agitated and complicated. He thought of the wish he had made, and he added it silently in his heart.

May Xinghe not grow old, may Xingyue be well.

May the Xinghe team be invincible, and may this grandpa and grandson... only have half their lives as soldiers.
