Now that the production of the new mecha has ended, the test flight work must be put on the agenda as soon as possible. However, although the last conversation with Meng Jinhuai was at the bottom, Duan Hengye, as a designer, was actually not less worried about this.
During the time when the mecha was manufactured and waiting for the final test flight, Duan Hengye's work did not slacken in the slightest. He stayed in the research institute and didn't go anywhere. Apart from the usual meetings and daily research tasks, Duan Hengye devoted all his time to checking the mecha.
If Duan Hengye's nervousness was still hidden before, then by now, almost all the staff of the research institute can see that he is worried about it. It's just that in addition to being huge, the internal structure of the mecha is also famous for its fineness. Compared with the complex structures and connections, the effects of human observation and inspection are extremely small. But despite this, Duan Hengye checked the mecha carefully as much as possible.
Every time a new mecha is born, it is a big event for the entire Yetian Empire Mecha Research Institute. Although the two recent mechas were almost all research and development tasks that Duan Hengye completed independently, seeing that the test flight time was approaching, a tense atmosphere gradually pervaded the entire research institute.
As the dean, Duan Hengye is now instructing and leading the work of others in addition to his own research. For example, during the inspection of the mecha this time, Duan Hengye was followed by many people watching. By the way, these research institute staff also have a more specific understanding of the new top-level mecha.
As Duan Hengye said to Meng Jinhuai before, as the person with the highest spiritual power in the interstellar space. The mecha tailored for Meng Jinhuai can only be opened and driven by him. As a marshal, Meng Jinhuai's daily work is busy, but the test flight of the mecha is still listed as a top priority by the military.
In order to test the flight, the relevant staff of the military also specially adjusted the schedule for Meng Jinhuai. They moved all the things that were not very important, or put them in the hands of the other two generals. Then he gave Meng Jinhuai a lot of time to prepare for this event.
In addition, the Mecha Research Institute has also formed a test flight data monitoring team with the largest number in recent years. When the day of the test flight comes, everyone will join Duan Hengye to test Feixing to participate in this event.
Soon after the birth of the new mecha, Duan Hengye began to hold a meeting with the staff in the flight test data supervision team to share knowledge about the new mecha. After all, there are a lot of upgrades for the top mecha this time. Even these staff who are always concerned about the performance process in the mecha field may not be able to understand all the main points in the first time.
Now as the test flight date is approaching, the entire data supervision team is meeting more intensively, and facing Duan Hengye, the staff even gave birth to the illusion that they were back on campus.
The intense preparations this time did not end until the day before the test flight. After following Duan Hengye to board the starship heading for the test flight, compared to the last time, everyone felt a lot less excited, but nervous. increased geometrically.
Because this time the mecha will be tested by Meng Jinhuai himself, before Duan Hengye came to the flying star, the marshal had already come to this planet in advance with the staff to prepare.
Meng Jinhuai's work is very busy, people who often pay attention to the news can see his related content on Xingxing almost every day. In addition, if you are interested, you can also check Meng Jinhuai's itinerary on Nanzhuxing's official website in advance.
This time, because of the low profile of the whole process, the military did not announce the test flight time in advance like the last time, nor did it mean to call Star Network Media to broadcast live. Therefore, until the actual test flight date is approaching, the progress of Nanzhuxing has not been confirmed on Xingwang.
Just three days before the official start of the test flight, netizens who have been following Nan Zhuxing finally discovered that Meng Jinhuai's schedule seemed to have suddenly changed. In the next few days, all the work he had planned was postponed or handed over to the general, and several public events were suddenly cancelled. It can be seen that Meng Jinhuai's dense work schedule has suddenly become vacant, which is really rare for Meng Jinhuai, who is usually busy without touching his feet.
Therefore, although Nan Zhuxing did not publicly announce the matter, the news about Meng Jinhuai's schedule circulated on the star network, and it didn't take long for the suspected test flight to spread throughout the interstellar space.
Although Nan Zhuxing intends to keep a low profile, but who told people to pay too much attention to this matter. Although it was intentional to control the discussion of this matter, after just a short while, all the major pages of Star Network were swiped by relevant news and discussions.
On the starship that was going to test Flying Star, Duan Hengye had been using his light brain to communicate with Meng Jinhuai, and naturally he did not miss the real-time hotspot alert from StarNet that suddenly popped up. After seeing this thing that suddenly appeared in front of him, Duan Hengye hesitated for a while, and then clicked in.
He saw that it was only ten minutes before the news of Meng Jinhuai's itinerary change had spread, but hundreds of discussion posts about the incident had already appeared on the Star Network. Obviously, people really care a lot about this.
Duan Hengye is a person who tends to put pressure on himself. After seeing these discussions, Duan Hengye let out a long sigh and then turned off his brain. After a while, he slowly buried his face in the palm of his hand, and waited until the notification from the starship that he was about to land, and then Duan Hengye raised his head again.
At this time, Heng Ye was staying in his lounge inside the starship, with only his assistant Ye Pu by his side. As an assistant who gets along day and night, Ye Pu knows how much pressure Duan Hengye has been under recently. When he saw Duan Hengye's actions just now, he originally wanted to go up and ask, but in the end he gave up this plan.
However, Duan Hengye's emotional recovery ability is also very good, or he is very good at hiding his emotions. When Ye Pu raised his head again, he couldn't see any abnormal emotion from Duan Hengye's face. On the contrary, after seeing Ye Pu standing there, Duan Hengye glanced at him with some doubts, then frowned and said, "The starship is about to land on the flying star. Is it safe to stand here?"
The weather conditions on the test flying star are still so bad, through the windows around you, you can see that although there will not be a huge tornado outside the house, it is still cloudy.
After hearing Duan Hengye's words, Ye Pu first reacted, and then quickly sat down on the chair beside him. After confirming that the other party was still seated, Duan Hengye took his eyes back from Ye Pu's body and looked out of the window.
Compared with the last time he came here, Duan Hengye's mood has changed a lot, and the people who originally accompanied him were not here. When the starship started to bump slightly, Duan Hengye could not help clenching his fists, then pursed his lips and looked under the window.
Today's weather conditions are much better than last time, and it is no longer dark outside the window. However, to be on the safe side, the speed of the starship's landing was still much slower. After a while, Duan Hengye saw the landing pad below through the window.
This time, a lot of people from the Yetian Empire Mecha Research Institute came. Because of the special conditions on the test flight planet, people did not get out of the cabin in the first time, but waited by the door, respectively riding the suspension. device to leave.
So Duan Hengye didn't rush out of the lounge, he stood there and looked out for a while, until he saw that the hovercraft was taking the staff away one after another, and then he slowly walked towards the hatch.
Because he had been here before, Duan Hengye was already very familiar with the next process. Ye Pu, who had been following Duan Hengye, saw that when he was going out, Duan Hengye took a deep breath again, and when he walked into the flight test hall, he returned to his calm look.
It seemed that Duan Hengye was not the one who was nervous on the starship just now.
Ye Pu has always admired Duan Hengye, especially now.
At this time, there was still some time before the flight test work officially started. Duan Hengye was the last person in the research institute to arrive at the flight test hall. After he came, the staff who had come by the suspension before had already taken their seats.
The test flight is about to start, and now the person who takes on this task is the Marshal of the Empire. After sitting on the familiar control chair at this moment, Duan Hengye saw nervous expressions on the faces of all the staff involuntarily.
The staff of the research institute have long discovered that after more than a year of experience, Duan Hengye is no longer the researcher who can only fight alone. The current Duan Hengye has long been trusted and respected by the entire research institute, and has become a real "backbone".
After seeing Duan Hengye come to the test flight hall, although he hasn't said anything yet, but just by showing up, the nervousness of the staff here has dissipated a lot.
Everyone knew in their hearts that Duan Hengye, who was the main person in charge of the experiment, was definitely much more nervous than himself—especially Meng Jinhuai was his spouse. But after seeing Heng Ye's expression at this time, people's mood gradually calmed down.
Duan Hengye did not say any special words of consolation, but stood in the very center of the test flight hall, and then began to instruct everyone to work as usual. It seems that today is really just an ordinary mecha experiment, not the first test flight of a new mecha.
"How long is the test flight now?" After the work was arranged, Duan Hengye sat in the experimental seat at the front, and then asked Ye Pu who was standing beside him. Duan Hengye spoke in a low voice, but because he was so close to where he was at this time, Ye Pu not only heard what Duan Hengye was saying, but did not even miss the slight trembling in his words.
"There are still two hours." Ye Pu replied.
Hearing this, Duan Hengye nodded, and then put the realization back on his optical brain, and then began to confirm the working conditions of all optical brains here again.
Duan Hengye looked at Guangnao very seriously, and the voices of the people around him could not help but soften. After waiting for a long time, the sound of footsteps finally broke the quiet scene. Now that the test flight mission is about to start, Meng Jinhuai and the rest of the military staff who arrived here ahead of schedule finally came to the test flight hall from other preparation areas.
The flight test of the mecha is a very arduous task. Due to his special status and limited time, Meng Jinhuai's flight test project is very different from the previous mass production of the mecha. One of the most obvious features is that the number and content of the test flight items have changed a lot.
Therefore, in order to cooperate with this change, today's Meng Jinhuai also put on a special lab coat. This black suit has many monitoring devices on it, and it looks very much like the one that Duan Hengye wore when he first tested whether he had mental power at An Luo University.
In addition to monitoring, this seemingly simple black coat also has a security protection system. It can be said that this dress is like a mecha, a masterpiece of top interstellar science.
Different from the elegant military uniforms that Meng Jinhuai often wore before, he looked quite imposing in his lab coat. When Duan Hengye looked back at Meng Jinhuai, he couldn't help but be shocked by the other party's aura.
Even though he was nervously discussing the test flight with the people around him for a second, but now that Duan Hengye's eyes fell on him, Meng Jinhuai still seemed to have changed a person immediately. He smiled at Duan Hengye, and then made a light gesture to the military staff on the side.
After seeing Meng Jinhuai's actions, the staff member nodded and stepped back. Meng Jinhuai walked over to Duan Hengye's side, and then saw the other party's light-brained screen. Although Meng Jinhuai was not a staff member of the research institute, during this time, he did not study flight test work together with Duan Hengye. Therefore, Lord Marshal knows that what Duan Hengye should do now has already been done. The reason why he kept staring at the light screen was just to relieve his tension and bring the staff into this atmosphere by the way.
Duan Hengye didn't see that Meng Jinhuai's lab coat was not a simple black one until the other party approached. On his clothes, there are many lines with dark light. Perhaps due to the influence of the original author's setting, Duan Hengye was not able to feel the "future sense" very much from the clothing and furniture decoration alone. However, the clothes Meng Jinhuai was wearing at this time was very much in line with Duan Hengye's imagination of what to wear in the interstellar era at the beginning.
After seeing those dark lines, Duan Hengye was stunned for a moment. Noticing Duan Hengye's expression, Meng Jinhuai directly ignored the people in the room who were silently observing him and Duan Hengye, and then reached out and gently ruffled the other's hair.
"This is the military's unique mecha lab coat. It has many practical functions." Meng Jinhuai couldn't help but slow down when he spoke. In the ears of some staff who were familiar with him, it really seemed like coaxing a child. intonation.
Meng Jinhuai's tone of voice was very discordant, let alone Duan Hengye. Although the distance between the two is not very small at this time, and there is actually no big problem with this sentence, after hearing it, many people still have a feeling that they are accidentally tired...
It was obviously in a tense state of preparation for the last second, but after seeing these two people appearing in the same space at the same time, the atmosphere immediately developed in a different direction - this is Admiral Yu who has been following Duan Hengye. The most intuitive feeling.
After hearing Meng Jinhuai's words, Duan Hengye nodded, and then finally withdrew the interface on his light brain from where he was just now. At this time, the experiment was about to start, and the meteorological observers sitting in the other corner of the office also started to follow up the data in real time, and by the way, reported the situation outside to Duan Hengye and the rest.
"Okay, don't be nervous, trust me." Meng Jinhuai said.
Just like Duan Hengye can tell the staff of the research institute to relax, Meng Jinhuai is also a person who can tell Duan Hengye to relax. In fact, everyone knows that a test flight is a very dangerous thing. With so many people present, Meng Jinhuai himself is the one who bears the greatest risk... By the way, if something really happens in a while, Meng Jinhuai is also the one who is the least able to control the danger.
In fact, the person he should trust the most should be Duan Hengye, but now Meng Jinhuai has turned around and asked Duan Hengye to give him a sense of trust.
…
"Yeah. I know." Duan Hengye nodded again, then he glanced at his light screen and said, "You also have to trust me."
While saying this sentence, Duan Hengye sat on the office chair, much shorter than Meng Jinhuai. When he spoke, he couldn't help but raised his head and opened his eyes wide.
In normal times, Duan Hengye's eyes are slightly long, and with his expression and temperament, he can really bear the word "cold and beautiful". But now, because of the inadvertent opening of his eyes, Duan Hengye's expression was a little more innocent, and he even looked much younger.
Meng Jinhuai smiled, "Of course."
Because it was almost time for the experiment to start, Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai didn't say any more. After saying this, Meng Jinhuai walked to the middle of the hall and, with the assistance of the military staff, once again confirmed and adjusted the black lab coat he was wearing.
Duan Hengye, who was sitting on the side, saw that during the debugging process, the clothes on Meng Jinhuai's body continued to emit dark blue light, and the "lines" on the clothes became more and more obvious. With perfect facial features, body, and such a piece of clothing, the current Meng Jinhuai looks like a robot in a sci-fi movie in Duan Hengye's eyes...
Seeing that Duan Hengye had been looking at Meng Jinhuai, Ye Pu, the assistant standing beside him, also came over and said, "In addition to monitoring, this clothes can also guarantee 30 minutes of independent action outside the cabin."
Although he knew a little about it before, after hearing Ye Pu's words, Duan Hengye's heart could not help but fall back.
"Master Marshal, Professor Duan, it's now the prime time for the test flight." At this time, the meteorological observer who had been sitting there and rarely spoke finally spoke up. After hearing his words, Meng Jinhuai adjusted the black lab coat he was wearing again, and then stretched out his hand to quickly click on the light screen in front of him to confirm.
Meng Jinhuai turned around and nodded to him and said, "Okay, let's start preparing."
When he said this, Meng Jinhuai's tone was very calm, as if he was about to do a daily job, not some dangerous mecha test flight. Hearing Meng Jinhuai's words, the two generals who had been following him couldn't help but glance at each other, and then walked to their respective offices. Although they won't be as busy as the people at the research institute for a while, they also have a lot of responsibilities on their shoulders.
Long before that, the research institute was already in place. Meng Jinhuai glanced at the hall again, then turned and walked towards the preparation room at the back. After a while, he will log in to the mecha here, and after it is confirmed in the laboratory, he will fly out of the experimental hall directly through the hatch above.
At the same time that Meng Jinhuai turned around, the wall directly opposite the test hall also instantly became transparent. Just like last time, when the test flight begins, everyone will be able to see the outside through the original metal-covered wall.
Different from the narrow window just now, after the current wall became transparent, the outdoor scenery was more clearly transmitted to Duan Hengye. Like the previous time, the scenery outside this time also has a full "doomsday style".
Although Duan Hengye didn't know much about meteorology, his experience told him that such weather might be able to test the performance of the mecha, but it could never be associated with the word "good". Duan Hengye has always been a confident person, especially with ten thousand confidence in his own works, but today when it is involved with Meng Jinhuai, Duan Hengye is finally less confident.
Now the light screen in the center of the hall has started the countdown. As the numbers gradually decrease, the voices of the staff reporting normal data are constantly heard in the hall.
The sound of data reporting sounded in the originally quiet hall. Not only did this sound not make the test hall lively, on the contrary, it made the atmosphere more solemn.
At this time, Meng Jinhuai was walking towards the preparation room, and it happened that Duan Hengye was sitting on this road. The staff following the Marshal saw that Meng Jinhuai, who had been walking towards the destination without squinting, suddenly stopped when he saw Duan Hengye. Immediately afterwards, he lowered his head and smiled at Duan Hengye, and then snorted softly, "Trust me."
"good."
