"If you can fix the 'Mammoth', I guarantee that no one in T-Zone will dare to touch you, but if you are playing tricks on me..."
"Then my death must be ugly, right?"
"No, you will suffer more than death..."
Ventilation area, warehouse door.
It was now past the release time, and the prisoners had all returned to their cells. In the large release square, there was only one mecha, Lin Jie, Simon, and Curly Hair.
Lin Jie was inspecting the mecha named 'Mammoth', while Simon and Curly Hair looked on.
"One good news, one bad news..."
After a moment, Lin Jie jumped off the mecha, came to Simon and wiped the machine oil on his face: "The good news is that I do have enough ability to repair the Mammoth. The bad news is that under the current conditions, I can't." There is a way to completely repair it. Many precision parts cannot be made in this simple workshop. The most I can do now is to restore it to simple operation, but at that level, it is absolutely impossible to fight fiercely."
"No more fighting..." Simon muttered, glancing at Curly with a questioning expression.
Although he is strong enough in force, he knows nothing about machinery. He still has to ask the professional Lin Jie if his words are really trustworthy, and Curly Curly is the only professional around him.
His name is Disen, and because he naturally has small curly brown hair, his nickname is also Curly Hair.
Facing Simon's gaze, Curly Hair nodded without any trace.
As the saying goes, insiders look at the door and outsiders look at the excitement.
Although Lin Jie has not actually done it yet, judging from the inspection procedures and techniques, Lin Jie is indeed a mechanic, and he is also a more professional mechanic than him.
"Okay, what do you need?" After receiving the answer, Simon looked at Lin Jie again, and stepped forward to pat Lin Jie on the shoulder: "As long as the Mammoth can be repaired, I can give you whatever you want in the T area. Separate cells, delicious food, even beautiful women, if you want."
"There's no need for women. You just need to get some replacement parts for private-level mechas, especially the main control chip."
"this is not OK."
Lin Jie: "..."
No, you use me as a Sunday?
A prison bully who no one dares to mess with in the entire T-block, a man who is more authoritative than the warden to some extent, a guy who can even get women in the men's block, it doesn't take much to know that you must have a very strong power outside the prison. background.
You even got a mecha directly in this prison, and then you told me that you can't get the parts for the mecha?
"You don't know what 'mammoth' is for?"
However, facing Lin Jie's doubts, Simon returned a question and looked at Lin Jie suspiciously.
"What else can the mecha be used for..." Lin Jie raised his eyebrows slightly.
This thing is like a car, what else can it do besides driving it?
Most importantly, what is its use and does it have anything to do with whether you can get the chip?
Are you hairy? You don't have a hair on your head... Lin Jie subconsciously glanced at Simon's bald head.
"It seems you really don't know." After receiving Lin Jie's reply, Simon suddenly showed a strange expression, as if he had encountered something new, which made Lin Jie very confused.
"Boss, let me explain it to him."
At this time, Curly Mao stood up, first looked at Simon, and then looked at Lin Jie after Simon nodded, saying: "This matter can be said to be simple or complicated. If you want to explain it clearly, it will take six months. Speaking of it more than ten years ago..."
Curly Hair invited Lin Jie to find a place to sit down together, and began to tell his story. As he talked, Lin Jie understood why there was a field mecha in this prison.
According to Curly, more than sixty years ago, the Ninth Prison, which occupied almost half of the planet, was still a strict prison.
The security facilities here are complete and the armed force is strong. It is dedicated to detaining the most dangerous prisoners arrested by the Carl Star Kingdom, and no one can successfully escape from here. Such a glorious resume made the Ninth Prison once the leader in the prison world of the Carl Star Kingdom. Benchmark.
But the problem lies in this so-called benchmark.
About sixty years ago, the country of Karl captured a special prisoner.
This man is a notorious interstellar criminal who has committed many major crimes in the Star Kingdom of Karl, causing widespread public outrage in the Star Kingdom.
Logically speaking, if a prisoner like this is caught, he doesn't even need to go through the process. He will definitely be sentenced to death.
But fuck it, this prisoner is not only a criminal who has committed various crimes, but he is also a noble of a high-level federation.
In comparison, the strength of the Karl Star Kingdom is much weaker.
To give an example according to our world view, this is like catching a beautiful general of a beautiful country who committed evil in the country during his childhood.
If you let it go, the people will definitely not do it, and you will not be able to live with it in terms of face.
Judgment... I still don't fucking dare.
Faced with the dilemma, the top management of the Karl Star Kingdom at the time could only lock up the prisoners first and leave the problems to others in the future.
So where is it locked?
"The Ninth Prison..." After hearing this, Lin Jie subconsciously replied.
Obviously, as the 'model prison' in the Carl Star Kingdom, the Ninth Prison is definitely the first choice of the top management of the Carl Star Kingdom.
"Smart!" Curly gave Lin Jie a thumbs up and continued.
Ever since the first 'super prisoner' was born, it was like the floodgates had been opened. After that, almost every once in a while, the Karl Star Kingdom would catch a criminal who did not dare to deal with it like the 'federal noble'.
Perhaps because of the inertia of thinking, or perhaps because those people needed political achievements at that time, they did not even think about letting those people go secretly. Instead, after making a high-profile announcement and gaining public support, they packed all those people into the Ninth Prison.
The Ninth Prison is bustling now. The originally stable structure has been impacted by these 'super prisoners'. In almost every section, there are one or two prison bullies that no one dares to mess with.
Simon is one of them.
And this is only the changes inside the prison. The situation outside the prison is even more severe.
As more and more super prisoners have been taken into custody by the Karl Star Nation in recent years, the politicians of the Karl Star Nation suddenly found that while they were gaining public support, they were also offending more and more powerful forces.
These forces united and began to put pressure on the policies of Karl Star State, hoping that Karl Star State would release the backbone of their organization.
It was fine with just one or two forces at the beginning, but now that so many big guys are going down together, the politicians of Karl Star Kingdom can't stand it anymore.
Therefore, they chose to transfer this pressure to the warden of the Ninth Prison, Jenna Downs.
They asked Jenna Downs to give a solution as a reply to those forces, and even asked Jenna to talk directly to the leaders of those organizations.
According to gossip, Jenna was so scared that she was not scared to death.
"When you say this, she seems so pitiful..."
Lin Jie secretly glanced at the alloy high-rise building in the distance.
The floor-to-ceiling windows were still there, but there was no sign of Jenna behind them.
He could imagine how much pressure Jenna would have faced at that time. It was something that even the rulers of the Star Kingdom avoided. It was a miracle that a woman in her fifties could endure it.
"What happened next?"
"Later, Jenna Downs really came up with a plan..." Curly walked to Mammoth, knocked on the outer armor of Mammoth, and showed an admiring smile: "This is the plan, Jenna decided to do it on the Death Star Holding a competition, can you imagine, she is simply a genius..."
Curly's expression became obviously a lot more excited, and he continued talking excitedly.
Although Jenna Downs is an ordinary person and is fifty-five years old, it is undeniable that she is indeed a capable and thoughtful menopausal woman.
Just like Curly said, Jenna had a contest.
The core content of the game is the battle between mechas.
She found many private-level field mechas on this junk planet and found someone to repair them to ensure that these mechas could fight.
Then she numbered the mechas, gathered all the prison bullies together, and drew lots to determine whose names these mechas belonged to.
The final step is to let these mechas participate in the flag capture battle in the established arena.
There are no rules in the battle. Various battle modes and methods are allowed. It doesn't even matter whether you kill people or not. As long as you ensure that your mecha captures the flag at the end of the game, you will be victorious.
As long as a certain mecha wins seven capture-the-flag battles, or eliminates all other participating mechas, the prison tyrant to which this mecha belongs can be freed.
The only rule is that the mecha is not allowed to be equipped with spare parts sent by major forces from outside.
This can speed up the pace of the game and eliminate some mechas faster and more intuitively. It can also prevent the forces behind the super criminals from sending super-standard parts and affecting the balance of the game.
"So, Simon is the so-called 'super criminal', Mammoth is the mecha in his name, and you..." Lin Jie looked at Curly: "Are you the pilot responsible for driving this mecha?"
"Yes."
Curly shrugged and said he was right, and then said: "I went to steal a high-ranking official's spaceship, but I didn't expect that the crime was not enough. Our leader spent millions of Star Sea coins up and down, and then let Karl Star Country's The government gave me a heavy sentence and was sent to the Ninth Prison."
"...You city people are really good at playing." Lin Jie said something stuck in his throat and he couldn't spit it out.
