Chapter 42 Chaoyang (3)

After saying a word, Garcia squeezed Jiang Jianming's forearm and pulled his hand up.

The prince's expression was a little cold, and he carefully held the "weak wrist" of the disabled man in the palm of his hand, daring not to touch it: "Does it still hurt?"

Jiang Jianming shook his head: "It doesn't really hurt, it's just a little numb now."

They had walked some distance between the words, and Joe's cry behind him could not be heard.

Jiang Jianming glanced back, and said thoughtfully: "However, Yin Beidou... or is the situation in the distant interstellar space so bad that it is necessary to recruit new officers of this quality?"

His tone was very calm, even when he mentioned the words "this quality", it gave the impression that it was just a plain statement, without deliberately belittling or protecting anything.

"It wasn't like this when I came."

Garcia: "Choosing a mecha requires actual manipulation to test the feel. You can't go today. Let's go back to normal."

Jiang Jianming was slightly startled: "No, I can..."

Garcia: "You can't."

Jiang Jianming didn't know what to do, and he actually knew in his heart that what Garcia said made sense.

He could only sigh: "Well, I can't."

Garcia still stared at his wrist, pinching the joints with five fingers: "Move."

Jiang Jianming reluctantly turned his wrist slowly to show him, and continued to talk to himself: "...Since the situation in the distant interstellar space is really so difficult, it might be better to just recruit some excellent disabled humans."

"You can't fight alien creatures with crystal bones, can't you just use armors?"

Garcia suddenly stopped.

He finally put Jiang Jianming's wrist down, and at the same time raised his eyes slowly, his eyes were as sharp as ice.

He said: "You said, let the disabled people only use armor?"

Jiang Jianming: "...Ah."

Finished, accidentally slipped tongue.

...

On the second floor, Major General Xie's office.

The door opened.

"The two of you are here, we had a good rest last night..."

Just as Xie Yuduo was about to raise a smile to say hello, his voice changed when he saw Garcia's cold and solemn face, "Okay-?

Jiang Jianming smiled bitterly when he entered the door. Although he did walk here with his own feet, he felt like he was being carried all the way by Garcia.

At this time, the prince gently pushed his back and said to Xie Yuduo, "Listen to him."

Jiang Jianming had no choice but to say hello: "Major General, good afternoon."

He shrugged to signal his coercion: "At His Highness's order, I'm here... to contribute an immature idea."

After a while.

"Separate the concepts of in-cabin mecha pilots and extra-vehicular crystal bone battles...?"

Xie Yuduo put on a rare serious look and straightened his upper body, "Please explain in detail."

Jiang Jianming has already pulled a chair from the side and sat down in front of Xie Yuduo's desk: "It's literally, Major General."

He crossed his black-gloved hands on his knees, and said softly, "I've been in Yin Beidou for a while. Although I haven't officially been on the battlefield, I already have a general understanding of the battle mode of the Far Star..."

"The way the new humans manipulate crystal bones is similar to hand-to-hand combat, and most of the time it needs to be carried out outside the cockpit of the mech. However, when facing huge alien creatures and enemies in the air, someone needs to stay in the cockpit. Control the mecha and cooperate with the battle outside the cabin."

"Just like when the Beta Star's Yinbeidou Second Base was raided by Yupi, I used to drive a mecha to assist His Royal Highness Garcia to fight the enemy in the air."

Jiang Jianming paused for a moment and said lightly, "I just thought that if the mecha driving and the crystal bone battle could be divided into two arms, the disabled human beings can completely take on the part of the mecha driving."

"hiss……"

Xie Yuduo unknowingly frowned, and when Jiang Jianming finished the last sentence, he couldn't help but gasp.

Indeed, the current imperial military does not have a clear concept of "mecha pilots".

When it comes to mecha masters, it corresponds to the people who repair, transform, and manufacture mechas, not the people who drive mechas.

Garcia did not sit, but leaned sideways on the corner of the desk.

When Jiang Jianming made his statement, the prince's burning eyes always fell on him.

It was as if watching a dusty beautiful jade wash away in the wind and smoke, revealing its own stunning clear light.

Xie Yuduo tensed the corners of his mouth, he tapped his temple: "Let me think about it."

Jiang Jianming nodded: "The major general slowly thinks that the things that the disabled humans can do on the distant interstellar battlefield are indeed limited, and the high-concentration crystal particle environment is also a problem."

"So everything I said is based on the fact that Yin Beidou really lacks people."

Jiang Jianming glanced at Garcia quietly.

In fact, he had these ideas as early as in the military school.

But if His Highness hadn't insisted on letting him bring it up after listening to his casual remarks, he wouldn't have put these ideas on the surface so early.

There are still many problems and hidden dangers behind this. There are both reasons for the physical constitution of disabled human beings, and there are more deep things.

But since His Highness asked him to say it, it proved that the situation of Yin Beidou was indeed not very optimistic.

Then he will say.

Jiang Jianming continued: "For example, the two officers I led the team during the adaptation period... Lieutenant Raymond has always been Lieutenant Colonel Huo Lin's adjutant, and he will ride in the same mecha when he goes out to battle."

"But in fact, Lieutenant Raymond himself is also the holder of the B-rank crystal bone. He has a certain combat power. It is a pity that he has been serving as the deputy armor for Mr. Huo Lin all year round."

After that, he smiled and stood up: "After all, I'm just a military cadet from a civilian background, and my physical fitness is considered poor among disabled humans. Even I can cooperate with His Royal Highness..."

"If the military can release some restrictions, even if it is only a small number of places, I think there is a great chance to recruit disabled human elites with abilities no less than new humans."

Disabled human elite.

It was the first time Xie Yuduo heard this combination, which put "disabled human" and "elite" together.

In the past, no matter where they were, people said they were "new human elites".

It seems that as long as you are reincarnated as a human with a residual crystal, there will be an extra ceiling in this life, and you will not be able to become a true "elite" anyway.

But Jiang Jianming said the word so naturally, as if he was unconscious, and even had a faint gentle smile at the end of his eyes.

"Worth a try."

Garcia said solemnly: "At least there is more hope than continuing to recruit waste into the fortress."

"Well..." Xie Yuduo stood up abruptly and walked around his office twice as if thinking hard.

Finally, when he was about to walk the third lap, the Major General suddenly stopped.

Xie Yuduo opened his wrist phone and contacted his female adjutant: "Rita, is there anyone in the fortress who has a better understanding of the current state of the empire's mecha field? Bring me here..."

Jiang Jianming raised his eyebrows and said, "One of my teammates is the chief graduate of the Mecha Second Academy of Kaios Military Academy. Do you want to come over?"

Xie Yuduo's eyes lit up, and he immediately slapped the case: "Take it! Take it now!"

...

In this way, when Li Youfang was temporarily summoned to "pull over", he was dizzy.

Major General, Major General Xie Yuduo.

The leader of the first fortress of Yin Beidou.

Experience a legendary, young and promising noble general.

——It stands to reason that he may not have the opportunity to speak generously in front of Major General Xie after another ten years of struggle.

Not to mention, there is a prince in front of him.

In the dignified Major General's office, Jiang Jianming was making tea, and Garcia stared straight at Jiang Jianming's tea-making hand, as if he was afraid that he would get burned.

And Xie Yuduo said in a loud voice, "Hurry up and put it down, how can you let your little lord do this!"

Jiang Jianming smiled: "It's not for you, I'm thirsty myself."

Saying that, poured Garcia a glass first.

Garcia held the teacup and said coldly: "As long as Major General Xie is not a living waste who can't stand on his own without his adjutant."

Jiang Jianming: "Speaking of which, what about Miss Rita?"

Xie Yuduo: "Next month will be the Imperial Military General Conference. She is running data."

"..."

Li Youfang felt that the world was divided.

The place where he was standing was one world, and the happy scene in the Major General's office in front of him was another.

But Jiang Jianming turned around and greeted him at this time: "Good teammate... Well, not teammate, Li Youfang, do you want tea? Major General's tea is good."

Major General's Tea...

Li Youfang's eyes darkened, and he almost didn't kneel down on the spot.

When he walked in tremblingly and listened to Jiang Jianming's idea, his soul flew out of the sky.

Select disabled humans to specialize in piloting mechas...! ?

Li Youfang's palms became cold on the spot, and there was a layer of sweat on his forehead.

Even though he was just a young boy who had just graduated from the military academy, he could still hear the significance of the meaning here.

"This, this... this idea..." he stumblingly said, "Very, very amazing."

Xie Yuduo smiled and said with his legs crossed leisurely: "Don't be too nervous, little ones, there are no outsiders here, just chat."

He took a sip of tea and waved his hand again: "Don't think too much about it, I'm calling you here, it's because we Yin Beidou people have been in the Far Star Nest for too long and don't know much about the empire. Finally, It's me and a bunch of old men above me who make the decision, it has nothing to do with you."

"Yes..." Li Youfang took deep breaths repeatedly to calm himself down a little.

After all, he is the chief of the Mecha Academy of the First Military Academy of the Empire. After calming down, his professionalism is still there.

He swallowed and began to analyze.

"This... Major General, you should also know that in the real battle, the speed of the brain's reaction and the fighting consciousness are more important than the speed of mechanical manipulation..."

Xie Yuduo nodded.

This reasoning is very easy to understand. If Li Youfang and Jiang Jianming are now asked to conduct the practical test of basic mecha movements on the flat and open mecha training ground, Li Youfang must have a higher score.

Because the two people are equally proficient in basic movements, the crystal bone is faster than manual manipulation.

But if the two of them were allowed to drive the same mecha and conduct actual combat in random wild terrain... Needless to say, it would be strange if Li Youfang was not played to death.

Li Youfang: "But now in the field of mecha research in the empire, almost no one has studied the problem of improving the efficiency of manual manipulation."

"The reason is also very simple. Now the disabled people can hardly touch the military mecha, and it is useless to improve the efficiency of manual operation."

Xie Yuduo rubbed his chin and pondered, "This is true."

Li Youfang: "So... although it is said that the transmission efficiency of manual manipulation of mecha is generally 6% lower than that of crystal bone manipulation, this 'accepted' figure is a technology from several years ago."

"If the military allows disabled humans to use mechas and invests resources to improve technology, this number should be even lower!"

Xie Yuduo's eyes lit up: "In other words, do you think that the disadvantage of manual control still has a lot of room for recovery on the basis of the current situation?"

"In the humble opinion of the following officials, there is great hope!" Li Youfang gradually found the feeling, and the speed of his speech became faster, "And..."

He said and glanced at Jiang Jianming, his expression was a little strange, "Also, the subject of the third manipulation method-mental manipulation is getting more and more popular."

When Jiang Jianming met Li Youfang's gaze, he couldn't help but smile... He knew what this weird look meant.

After all, a few years ago, this topic was given a lecture at the Kaios Military Academy.

He was a crippled human being who went in and listened, but when the old professor released the crystal bone, he vomited blood on the spot, almost causing the old man to go to jail for it.

At that time, Ryan was still there, and he was so anxious that he ran out of the White Jade Palace to see him without changing his dress.

In a blink of an eye...

Time passed so quickly.

Jiang Jianming lowered his head and took a sip of tea to suppress his mood, glanced at Li Youfang, and saw the young man's brighter and more excited face as he talked.

He couldn't help laughing secretly, this guy who looked down on disabled people at the beginning didn't know how excited he was now.

Li Youfang: "If mental manipulation can be popularized in the next few years, then the disadvantage of disabled humans without crystal bones will no longer be a problem!"

"In the past two years, there have also been more racial equality movements in the empire. Especially Aslan, there seems to be a special association that is active... In terms of public opinion, there should be no big obstacles..."

"The only problem may be the adaptation of the disabled humans themselves to the distant interstellar environment, and whether they can really cooperate with the new humans."

"But the personal judgment of the following officials, based on the above comprehensive analysis," Li Youfang swallowed tremblingly, and raised his chest in a military salute, "Theoretically, Jiang Jianming's proposal is - it is feasible!!"

Jiang Jianming put down the teacup and stood up, calmly patted him on the shoulder: "Don't get too excited, as I said, this is just a prototype of an idea."

Xie Yuduo took a deep breath, put his legs down, and sat up straight.

"It's really just a concept, and various details still need internal research and discussion... But."

The major general leaned forward and said sternly: "It is also a very exciting idea. I will propose it at the military general meeting."

Li Youfang's face suddenly lit up.

"Thank you Major General!!"

Jiang Jianming stroked his forehead, so how excited are you, a new human being...

"Don't say whose suggestion was made for the time being."

Garcia, who had been listening silently, suddenly made a sound at this moment.

He glanced at Jiang Jianming: "His name is made public again."

Xie Yuduo raised his eyebrows and said quickly, "Understood."

The truth of Mu Xiuyu Lin is known to all smart people. Jiang Jianming, a commoner with no money and no power, wanted to shake the position of the new human beings as the exclusive military force at a young age...

If it becomes a thorn in someone's side, don't know how much trouble it will cause in the future.

Jiang Jianming's expression darkened, and he said softly, "Your Highness, I'm fine."

"You are related."

Garcia's voice was cold, he straightened up and walked towards Jiang Jianming, "I forced you to say it, if it doesn't work out, it's mine."

The prince said, under Li Youfang's stunned and sluggish eyes, he easily took away the luggage that Jiang Jianming had placed beside him.

"Go, follow."

this person……

Jiang Jianming smiled helplessly.

He nodded to Xie Yuduo and hurriedly followed.

After leaving the office, the silence between the two continued all the way.

When he finally reached the door of the bedroom, Garcia put Jiang Jianming's luggage in his arms.

The prince suddenly pursed his lips and said, "The meritorious deeds are of no use to me."

"What?" Jiang Jianming was startled.

Garcia deliberately didn't look at him, but looked very serious: "Your credit is yours, and no one can take it away, including me. Don't think too much."

Jiang Jianming was taken aback and said in his heart that he was thinking too much about it?

He quickly explained: "What are you talking about, of course I know you are trying to protect me."

Garcia was silent for a second, and then whispered: "Don't be sad, it will be resolved soon."

Jiang Jianming: "Thank you, but I'm not sad?"

Garcia: "It's up to you to pick a mecha the day after tomorrow."

"..."

Ah, that familiar sense of inability to communicate.

Jiang Jianming was in a delicate mood. He was angry and funny for a while. He said, "Your Highness, are you trying to coax people by sending mechas?"

Garcia's expression cooled down slightly, and turned his face: "What are you talking about, coaxing? Don't be squeamish, I said I won't take care of you."

Jiang Jianming: "."

But just a second later, Garcia turned his face back.

The prince frowned and said, "So, you don't like it."

Another familiar scene.

Jiang Jianming finally couldn't help curling his lips.

A smile slowly emerged from the corner of his eyes, like a flash in the pan.

"No, I like it."
