In the dark blue of space, countless stars are quietly watching the spaceship flying in it, and the people on the spaceship are also watching them. Just below the Dark Star Field, a giant space station in the shape of a six-pointed star reflected the light of the stars, a little brighter than any star in the four fields, and the six-pointed star space station quietly looked down on the surface of Planet S1, ready to take in the spaceship that jumped out of the atmosphere.

Xu Le stood next to the window of the ship, squinting at the space station not far away and gradually moving away, feeling a little excited. He has experienced space voyages, and the last time he took the Gu Zhong spacecraft from Donglin to the capital star circle, it was the air-ground transfer module transferred in the giant space station, but the endurance spaceship he took today did not stop in the space station, but directly broke through the gravitational traction of planet S1 and the lingering atmosphere of the atmosphere, flew into space, and headed towards the old moon base.

Guoke Mobile Company has its own commercial fleet, the number is not large, but the performance is extremely superior, the technical team went to the old moon base to participate in the test battle of the Xin-style MX mecha, the head office naturally provided the best spacecraft, and there was no need for energy replenishment and transfer at the space station at all.

The stellar light outside the window suddenly dimmed, Xu Le knew that the spaceship was turning, he walked back to his seat, and looked at the serious expressions of his companions around him, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous. The technicians of the Fruit Shell Machine Sports Company all wore dark gray military uniforms, because in a sense, they all belonged to the supernumerary personnel of the federal erbium army, and even Shang Qiu had the identity of a civilian major.

In this spaceship, the only ones who did not wear military uniforms were Secretary Bai next to Xu Le, and Mr. Zai who was sitting in the luxurious private room in front of the spaceship. Magnolia made a big mistake in the army and was expelled from the army, while Mr. Zongzai disdained to use a military uniform to improve his confidence.

The total load of the Fruit Shell Mobile Company, if it is placed in a place like the Federal Erbium Donglin Xilin, is roughly the level of the regional administrator. A few days ago, the attitude shown by the Guoke Mobile Company in the internal struggle of the Federal Erbium was obviously not in line with the status of this giant company in the Federal Erbium, and Xu Le thought of the forty-year-old Mr. Zongzai, and he had some doubts in his heart.

The main reason is that the Federal Erbium Management Committee has just appointed him as the Fruit Shell General Carrier for less than a year, and when he took over, there were many problems inside the Fruit Shell. After the failure of the experiment last fall, the Federal Erbium Academy of Sciences shamelessly and domineeringly joined in under the pretext of participating in the design of twin-engine technology, which was the official decision of the Federal Erbium Academic Committee, so the Guoke side could not accuse the other party on this, but then the Academy of Sciences stole the data in Shen Yulin's laboratory, and the independent director on the Guohusk board of directors had some problems, and all kinds of worries were gathered together, which made the newly appointed Mr. Zongzai angry, but also a little anxious.

Now the dispute within the board of directors of Guohu, just like the dispute within the federal erbium, has not completely subsided, but Mr. General Zai can't spend all his time on these political battles, he knows better than anyone that the MX mecha is important to the federal erbium and the company, so he personally led the technical team and took this spaceship to the old moon.

The voyage in space is really a bit boring, and the hotly dressed dancers on the screen can't attract too many people's attention, and everyone in the technical team is contemplating the mecha battle that will start the day after tomorrow, analyzing the part of the technical content they are responsible for to ensure that there will be no loopholes.

Shang Qiu didn't come with the technical team, and the old moon base carried out mecha battle tests, data collection, analysis and evaluation work, but it was in the control hall on the ground, and she still had important work to do, so she stayed.

Xu Le looked at Bai Yulan, who had been lowering his head beside him, and couldn't help but think that if Shang Qiu was by his side at this time, it was estimated that the journey would not be so boring and boring, Secretary Bai was too silent and quiet, and he was really not a good travel companion.

Just then, a voice rang out on the intercom. Xu Le was slightly stunned, left the chair, and walked towards the room where Mr. Zongzai was.

It didn't take long for him to walk back, sit back in place with a slightly gloomy face, and couldn't help but glance at Magnolia again, wondering if this news should be said now, or when the mecha battle began?

Magnolia saw the change in his mood and asked softly, "The people over there have been elected?"

"Yes. "This is a very important mecha battle test, I don't know how many people's attention has been attracted, the two sides will definitely choose the most mature and powerful pilot in the Federation Erbium, Xu Le guessed that the other party should not have guessed, the shell company has already made the decision to use Magnolia as a pilot, but he didn't guess that the other party actually had a way to say that guy would go out in person.

He was silent for a moment and then said, "It's Crazy Lee." ”

Magnolia's delicate eyebrows were raised, and then he calmed down, like a microstone entering a lake, swinging slightly, but after a moment of silence, he took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and took a deep breath.

Xu Le always thought that Secretary Bai didn't smoke, he didn't know that that night, when Magnolia saw him controlling the old-fashioned mecha and making so many sharp attack moves, he quietly smoked one, and he didn't know that when MX succeeded, Magnolia also smoked one.

Secretary Bai doesn't smoke, but only when he feels a real vibration, he lights one.

The smoke detectors inside the spaceship chirped, and the electronic female voice began to warn, and the members of the technical team around them woke up from their musings and looked curiously at the seats of Xu Le and the others, and then they saw two heavy and slightly tired faces, and in an instant, they understood something.

Listening to the warning of the electronic female voice, Xu Le's mood was a little irritable, and he couldn't wait to kick the speaker away.

"I'm afraid of what's coming. Magnolia only took three puffs, and the cigarette between her fingers burned only a small half. He coughed lightly twice and said, "Boss, it seems that those characters behind you are not as powerful as you think. ”

I don't know when Magnolia began to call Xu Le by the boss, perhaps for the sake of the 20 million federal erbium coins. Xu Le knew what he meant, the two of them had a long conversation in the Capital Special Administrative Region, the Shao family, who had been standing behind Xu Le, had always had a close relationship with the Li family in Philadelphia, why did the madman of the Li family intervene in this mecha dispute?

Mr. Zong Zai also just received the news, Xu Le was in the spaceship at this time, even if he had all kinds of doubts in his heart, he couldn't call to explain them one by one, so he had to be silent. Secretary Bai lowered his eyes slightly, his fingers slowly pinched half of the cigarette, and he fell silent when he thought of the invincible opponent two days later.

In the silence of the two, a barren planet appeared in front of the side of the spaceship, the earthy yellow surface of the planet, which appeared clearer under the light of the stars, and thus dilapidated, only the pearl-like buildings on the surface, and the black materials all over the place, reminded people that this was not an unsettled deserted star, but the largest companion star of the S1 star, the old moon.

......

......。 Human beings entered the universe on 21, and the first planet to be officially developed was the old moon, one of the two moons. In the literature, this satellite, which has accompanied the planet S1 for tens of thousands of years, is called Moon 1, but the people of the Federation generally call it the Old Moon.

The development of the old moon has been going on for many years, although until today, scientists have tried to recreate the ecosystem, and the atmospheric escape phenomenon in the low gravity environment has never been eliminated, but the development of the old moon has also been carried out very deeply.

The pearl-like structures that can be seen from space are actually as many as seven hundred habitation bases, covered with high-strength, multi-layered rigid membranes that filter blazing stellar light and ubiquitous cosmic rays, while isolating the base's life-sustaining system from the outside world.

The black materials that almost cover a quarter of the land area of the old moon are solar energy harvesting and adsorption materials transformed from the resources of the ore stars in the four adjacent planets, and can now fully provide the energy supply of countless military and civilian bases on the old moon.

Those ubiquitous black, is one of the largest five planetary transformation activities in the history of the Federation, costing countless wealth and years, is one of the supreme glory of mankind, in the poet's pen, often full of poetic description, how the giant pen of human beings, is the barren planet in the sky, painted with a layer of unnatural color, can change the world, nature is earth-shattering.

Among the more than 700 bases on the old moon base, the largest is naturally the general assembly base of the federal military and the spaceship manufacturing plant of the Guoke Mobile Company, it is said that in the military control area on the far side of the moon, there is also a super-large base, which is responsible for providing supplies for the three major fleets of the federal erbium, but the ordinary people of the federation will never be able to get a glimpse of its true face.

A pale white business spaceship, guided by the air traffic control center on the surface of the old moon, drew an almost straight lone line and headed for the predetermined landing site. Just by looking at the exterior design of this spaceship, you know that this is a direct endurance spacecraft that can break through the S1 atmosphere. On the side of the ship is a striking line of words: Where there is metal, there is a husk.

Seeing that the outside of those large pearl-like bases was becoming clearer and clearer, the members of the technical team on the spacecraft had already stood up and let out a burst of exclamations, and the transformation of the universe by human beings could always make these engineers have a sense of reverence from the bottom of their hearts. These engineers and professors are working on mechas, not space battleships, and for most of them, this is the first time they have arrived at the Old Moon Base, and the excitement is so overwhelming that they don't want to think about the mecha battle the day after tomorrow.

The boundless Black Sea, stretching out like the grasslands of the Donglin Region, is indeed an extremely magnificent sight, and the transformation from pearls to huge film-covered bases is also an exciting process. Xu Le should have been excited about everything in front of him, but the extremely bad news during the trip made his heart a little heavy, and he ignored this magnificent scenery.

The exclusive spacecraft of Guoke Mobile Company did not land in its own base, but flew directly to the space assembly base of the Ministry of Defense. With the sound of a loud air flow and an electronic positioning horn, the ship landed steadily on the dock, and was then placed beneath the surface by a large shrinking gear.

The alarm was lifted, and the technical team got off the spaceship, got on the self-propelled electric car under the spacecraft, and drove along the underground passage about ten kilometers long, towards the dark and quiet ahead.

Mr. General Zai has a special car to pick him up, and he has already left. At the moment of leaving, Xu Le noticed that Mr. Zongzai's face was a little gloomy, and the secretary next to him was holding the phone, arguing with some aspects constantly, probably Guoke Zongzai also smelled a hint of danger.

There are too many people in the Federation Erbium who don't want the husk to get the standard of the Xin mecha. When Xu Le thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a little chilled, even if the Tiesuan Li family was one of the seven great families of the Federation, how could it have such a great influence? He looked at his phone and confirmed that there was a signal in the underground passage, so he directly dialed Secretary Shen's phone.

On the phone, he told the other party what he had just learned, and then quietly waited for the other party's answer.

Shen Li was silent on the other end of the phone for a long time and said, "I have just verified this news. According to intelligence, it should have been the Medellín congressman's idea to the national security adviser, as for the Philadelphia side...... I don't have that kind of influence. ”

"What about Madame?" Xu Le continued. If it was placed in the past, no matter who the other party chose to be the pilot, it would not interfere with his confidence in Xiao Baihua and his judgment of Zihai, but Li Feng was different, he was a madman, that was the only grandson of the Li family in Philadelphia, and a super pilot rarely seen by the federal Erbium military.

At this time, he didn't mind letting Xu Le and Madman Li fight, but as Magnolia said in the past, when it comes to controlling mechas, Madman Li's strength is too terrifying, which is caused by his record.

......

......

Sitting at the bottom of the huge dome, Xu Le looked at the transparent film ten meters away through the glass, and was a little curious about the material of the film and the operation principle of the gravity supplement facility in the base. Only when he is in space can he truly feel how far the scientific and technological civilization of the Federation Erbium has developed over the past tens of thousands of years, even if he claims to be a genius in mechanics, it is impossible to fully understand these star-like technical fields.

After a few phone calls, there was no good news, and Mr. Zongzai's secretary called before, and he reluctantly said that all the company's negotiations with the federal government had failed, because in the meeting of the president's office, the old man of the military god of the Li family in Philadelphia personally promised the national security adviser that the two sides would pick any pilot.

It is precisely because of this heaviness in his mood that Xu Le simply set his sights on the structure of the final assembly base, but no matter how he looks at the space scene outside the film, it is still difficult for him to regain his calm, and he even has a faint trace of remorse in his heart.

The living area of the final assembly base is quiet, and on the dome about hundreds of meters high, the self-propelled ultra-light cleaning and maintenance robot is walking slowly along the alloy skeleton. Xu Le took a sip of the teacup in front of him, and felt that he was really a little sorry for the magnolia in front of him for this idea.

"It was a lie in the hotel that day. Magnolia whispered, "I've seen Li Feng control the mecha with my own eyes, and I don't have the slightest confidence in him, but since our goal is only to drag that Zihai into an unrestricted battle for three minutes, it is possible." ”

Hearing this, Xu Le's mood gradually calmed down. To confront the only seedling of the Li family in Philadelphia, there is no point in looking for other ace pilots in the federal military, in comparison, Secretary Bai's understanding of the Xin-style MX mecha is deeper than anyone else, and Xu Le has always believed that the strength of this handsome man has not been fully utilized.

"Nothing can change. Xu Le picked up the teacup and said seriously: "Let's get him." ”

Magnolia picked up the teacup and touched him gently.

......

......

After drinking a cup of tea in a hurry, the technical team did not stop for long, and rushed directly to the core area of the assembly base. Guoke's MX mecha was transported from the port to the old moon base under the strict care of the army yesterday, and according to the flow chart, it is about to start the outer armor transformation and firepower weak light work of the mecha battle test, and the technical team members of the Guoke Engineering Department naturally have to stare at it with their own eyes, otherwise who knows what the mechanics of the Ministry of Defense will toss their treasures into.

The members of the technical team scanned the chip one by one, obtained the temporary access to the old moon base, and walked to the underground warehouse, they looked at the mecha wrapped in the dust cover in the center in the distance, and began to get excited, although it was only seven days of not seeing, for these people, it seemed like a long time apart.

Xu Le and Magnolia were still at the end, and there was no problem with the chip scanning, but when the two of them were about to walk into the warehouse, a team of armed soldiers surrounded them.

"Xu Le, the technical director of the Fruit Shell Engineering Department?" asked an official in a black suit in the army team.

Xu Le's eyes narrowed and said, "Yes." ”

"You can go in, this person stays. The official pointed to Magnolia and said.

Xu Le's eyes narrowed even more, and he asked, "Why?"

"Magnolia was suspected of illegally selling ordnance abroad, so he couldn't enter the core area. The officer replied.

Xu Le knew that Secretary Bai had been charged with the crime back then, but the military court had not convicted him, so why did some people suddenly appear at this important moment?

He looked at the indifferent face of the official, and suddenly said: "This is the test pilot of the Guoke Company participating in the aircraft battle, and he cannot enter the core area? How can the aircraft battle begin? Can you take this responsibility?"

"Not only will I not be able to enter the core area, but he will soon follow me for further investigation. The officer smiled and said, "You don't need to scare me about the MX mech battle, I'm not a federal official." ”

"Is there an end? Is there an end?" Xu Le's anger in his heart could no longer be suppressed, staring into his eyes and saying loudly: "I don't care what kind of shit official you are, you dare to stop us, I see how you explain to the president." ”

"I'm a Chartist officer, and I don't have to answer to the president. The officer smiled slightly, and then waved his hand for the soldiers behind him to come forward, ready to arrest Magnolia.
