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

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

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

They had walked a distance while talking, and Joe's cries could not be heard behind him.

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

His tone was very calm, and even when he said the word "this quality", it gave the impression that it was just a flat statement, and he didn't deliberately belittle or protect anything.

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

Garcia: "Choosing a mecha requires a hands-on test. You can't go today. Let's talk about it when you get back to normal."

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

Garcia: "You can't."

Jiang Jianming had nothing to do with it, and he knew in his heart that what Garcia said was right, and that the mecha test operation should not be sloppy.

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

Garcia was still staring 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 star is really so difficult, it is better to simply recruit some excellent disabled humans."

"You can't use crystal bones to fight alien creatures, can't you just use armor?"

Garcia paused suddenly.

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

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

Jiang Jianming: "...ah."

Finished, accidentally slipped mouth.

...

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

The door opened.

"You two are here, you had a good rest last night..."

Xie Yuduo was just about to raise his smile to greet him, but when he saw Garcia's stern expression, his voice changed, "Okay—Your Highness, do you have any questions to say!!"

Jiang Jianming smiled bitterly when he entered the door. Although he did walk here with his own feet, he felt psychologically as if he was 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 his shoulders to signal his oppression: "According to His Highness's order, I will... contribute an immature idea."

After a while.

"Separate the concepts of mecha piloting inside the cabin and crystal bone fighting outside the cabin...?"

Xie Yuduo put on a rare serious expression, straightened his upper body, "Please tell me in detail."

Jiang Jianming had 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 hands in black gloves on his knees, and said gently: "I have been in Yin Beidou for a while, and although I haven't officially been on the battlefield, I already have a general understanding of the combat mode of the distant star..."

"The fighting method of the new humans manipulating the 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 mecha. However, when facing huge alien creatures and enemies in the air, someone needs to stay in the cockpitManipulate the mecha to cooperate with the battle outside the cabin."

"Just like when the second base of the Silver Beidou on Star Beta was attacked by space robbers, I used to drive a mecha to assist His Highness Garcia in fighting the enemy in the air."

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

"hiss……"

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

Indeed, the current imperial military does not have a clear concept of "mech pilot".

When it comes to mech masters, it refers to people who repair, modify, and manufacture mechas, not people who drive mechas.

Garcia didn't sit down, but leaned sideways on a corner of the desk.

When Jiang Jianming made a statement, the prince's burning eyes kept falling on him.

It seems to be watching a dusty beautiful jade being washed in the wind and smoke, blooming its original stunning light.

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

Jiang Jianming nodded: "Major General slowly thinks that what disabled humans can do on the distant interstellar battlefield is indeed limited, and the environment with high concentration of crystal particles is also a problem."

"So everything I said is based on the fact that Silver Beidou is really short of people."

Jiang Jianming quietly glanced at Garcia.

In fact, he had these ideas as early as his military school days.

But if His Highness hadn't insisted on asking him to bring it up after hearing what he said casually, he wouldn't have put these thoughts on the surface so early.

There are still many problems behind this, many hidden dangers.There are not only the physical reasons of the disabled human beings, but also more deep-seated things.

But since His Highness asked him to say it, it proves that the situation of Yinbeidou is indeed not optimistic.

Then he will speak.

Jiang Jianming continued: "For example, the two officers I led during the adaptation period... Lieutenant Raymond has always been Lieutenant Colonel Huolin's adjutant, and they will ride in the same mecha when they go out in battle."

"But in fact, Lieutenant Raymond himself is also the holder of a B-level crystal bone, and has a certain combat power. It is a pity to serve as the deputy of Chief Huolin's mobile armor all the year round."

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

"If the military can relax some restrictions, even if it is only a small number of places, I think there is great hope to recruit disabled human elites whose ability is no less than that of new humans."

Disabled human elite.

This is the first time Xie Yuduo has heard this compound word, which puts "disabled human beings" and "elites" together.

No matter where in the past, people talked about "new human elites".

It seems that as long as one is reborn as a remnant crystal human, there will be an extra ceiling pressing on the top of the head in this life, and one cannot become a real "elite" no matter what.

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

"Worth a try."

Garcia said in a deep voice: "At least it is more hopeful than continuing to recruit waste into the fortress."

"Hmm..." Xie Yuduo stood up suddenly, and walked around his office twice as if thinking hard.

Finally, when he was about to walk the third lap, the major general stopped suddenly.

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

Jiang Jianming raised his eyebrows and said, "One of my teammates is the chief graduate of the Keos Military Academy Second Mech Academy. Do you want to drag him over?"

Xie Yuduo's eyes lit up, and he immediately took the case: "Get it! Get it right away!"

...

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

Major General, Major General Xie Yuduo.

The leader of the first fortress of Yin Beidou.

A young and promising aristocratic general who has experienced legends.

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

Not to mention, there is also His Royal Highness in front of him.

In the bright and majestic major general's office, Jiang Jianming was making tea, and Garcia stared straight at Jiang Jianming's hand making tea, as if he was afraid that he would get burned.

And Xie Yuduo said in a loud voice: "Quickly put it down, quickly put it down, how can you let your Excellency do this!"

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

As he spoke, he poured Garcia a glass first.

Holding the teacup, Garcia said coldly, "Major General Fan Xie is not a waste of life who cannot stand without his adjutant."

Jiang Jianming: "Speaking of which, where is Miss Rita?"

Xie Yuduo: "Next month will be the Imperial Military General Assembly, and she is running the materials."

"..."

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 before him was another.

However, Jiang Jianming turned around and greeted him at this time: "Good teammate... Oh, I'm not a teammate anymore, Li Youfang, do you want tea? The major general's tea is pretty good."

Major General's Tea...

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

When he walked in tremblingly, after hearing Jiang Jianming's idea, he was even more out of his wits.

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

Li Youfang's palms were cold on the spot, and a layer of sweat broke out on his forehead.

Even though he is just a young boy who just got out of the military academy, he thinks he can still hear the significance of this.

"This, this... this idea..." he stumbled, "very, very amazing."

Xie Yuduo smiled, crossed his legs leisurely and said: "Kids, don't be too nervous, there are no outsiders here, just chat casually."

He took a sip of his tea and waved his hand again: "Don't think too much, I asked you to come here because we, the Yinbeidou people, have been in the far interstellar lair for too long, and we don't know much about the empire. In the endIt is me and a group of old men who are above me who make decisions, and 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 a real battle, the reaction speed of the brain and the combat awareness are more important than the speed of mechanical manipulation..."

Xie Yuduo nodded.

This reason is easy to understand. If Li Youfang and Jiang Jianming were to conduct the practical assessment of the basic mecha movements on the flat and open mecha training ground, Li Youfang must have a higher score.

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

But if the two of them are allowed to drive the same mecha and conduct actual combat in random wild terrain... Needless to say, it's no wonder that Li Youfang didn't die.

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

"The reason is also very simple. Now disabled humans can hardly touch the military mechs, and there is no use for improving the efficiency of manual operation."

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

Li Youfang: "So... Although it is generally said that the manual operation of the mech is 6% lower than the conduction efficiency of the crystal bone operation, this 'recognized' figure is already a technology several years ago."

"If the military allows disabled humans to use mechas and invests resources in improving technology, this number should be reduced!"

Xie Yuduo's eyes brightened: "That is to say, do you think there is still a lot of room for recovery of the disadvantages of manual operation based on the current situation?"

"The following official's humble opinion, there is great hope!" Li Youfang gradually found the feeling, and the speed of speech also picked up, "And..."

As he spoke, he glanced at Jiang Jianming, with a slightly weird look on his face, "Besides, the subject of the third way of manipulation—mental manipulation is becoming more and more popular."

Jiang Jianming met Li Youfang's gaze and couldn't help smiling... He knew what this strange look meant.

After all, several years ago, this subject was given a lecture at the Keos Military Academy.

He went in and listened as a disabled human being, but he vomited blood on the spot when the old professor released the crystal bone, which almost caused the old man to go to prison for it.

At that time, Lai An was still there, and he was so anxious to run out of the White Emerald Palace without changing his dress to see him.

In a blink of an eye...

Time passed so quickly.

Jiang Jianming lowered his head and took a sip of tea to suppress his emotions. He glanced at Li Youfang and saw the bright and excited face of the young man as he talked.

He couldn't help laughing secretly, this guy who looked down on disabled humans at the beginning didn't know why he was so excited 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 been more racial equality movements in the empire. Especially Aslan, it seems that there is still a special association active... In terms of public opinion, there shouldn't be too much hindrance..."

"The only problem may be the adaptability of disabled humans to the far interstellar environment, and whether they can truly cooperate with new humans."

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

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

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

"It is indeed just a conception, and various details still need internal research and discussion...but."

The major general leaned forward and said seriously: "It's also a very exciting idea. I will bring it up at the military general meeting."

Li Youfang's face lit up instantly.

"Thank you Major General!!"

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

"Don't say who suggested it for now."

Garcia, who had been listening silently, suddenly spoke out at this moment.

He glanced at Jiang Jianming: "His name, the matter has become public again."

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

The truth that wood is better than forest is known to any smart person.Jiang Jianming, a commoner with no money and no power, wants to shake the new human being's exclusive military power at a young age...

If it becomes someone's eyesore, then don't know how much trouble it will cause in the future.

Jiang Jianming looked down, and 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 speak out. If things don't work out, it's mine."

As the prince said, under Li Youfang's astonished and dull eyes, he easily took away the luggage that Jiang Jianming had put beside him.

"Let's go, keep up."

this person……

Jiang Jianming chuckled helplessly.

He nodded to Xie Yuduo, and hurriedly followed.

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

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

The prince suddenly pursed his lips and said, "Merit is of no use to me."

"What?" Jiang Jianming was taken aback.

Garcia deliberately didn't look at him, but his expression was 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, thinking that he didn't look like he was thinking too much?

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

Garcia was silent for a second, then whispered again: "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 choose the mecha the day after tomorrow."

"..."

Ah, this familiar feeling of being unable to communicate.

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

Garcia's expression turned slightly cold, and he turned his face away: "What are you talking about again, coax? Don't be coquettish, 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."

It was a familiar scene again.

Jiang Jianming finally couldn't help but curled his lips.

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

"No, I like it."
