This was only the first meeting. Not long after the meeting, Nanzhuxing and the Imperial Council publicly expressed their dissatisfaction with the result. Speaking of which, when the Yetian Empire was ruled by the royal family, the entire empire seldom spoke out publicly, and even if it did, it used ambiguous language, and rarely expressed their emotions in such a direct way.
So, after receiving the signal, the entire Ye Tian Empire was excited about it. For a time, the Li Sheng Alliance also received a lot of pressure from home and abroad.
No matter what the outcome of this meeting is, it is bound to have a profound impact on the Empire and the stars. After the first meeting, there are several days of agendas to follow. However, unlike the first one, the subsequent meetings will not involve all the heavyweights of the two countries as the first time, but will send different representatives to each meeting.
Just in the middle of the meeting, Meng Jinhuai left the host planet, secretly flew to the test flying star, and conducted the last few experiments that had not been completed. The degree of confidentiality of the experiment this time was much higher than the first time. In order not to leave any flaws, the Yetian Empire and the military also cooperated with Meng Jinhuai's schedule to revise.
Also because a lot of experience has been accumulated in this test flight, and the division of labor is very mature, even the Yetian Empire Mecha Research Institute only has some staff to participate, and Xingxing does not know that the test flight has begun.
The last test flight experiment took five hours. Two days before the start of the experiment, Duan Hengye came to Test Flying Star to prepare for it.
Although the overall difficulty of the flight test project this time is not high, the project is very densely arranged. Although Duan Hengye didn't have to worry about the state of the mecha this time like the first experiment, he still kept checking the experiment plan over and over again.
This experiment, in general, is to save time. But the importance of experimentation is there. Although time is compressed, the quality of the work must not be degraded. So in the past few days, Duan Hengye returned to the busy mode he was familiar with before.
At this time, the weather on the flying star was not good. Wearing a white lab coat, Duan Hengye stood by the window, frowning at the scene outside the house. Although as the designer of the mecha "Nanwei", he knows that the new mecha he designed can cope with all the bad weather in the interstellar space, and the more such natural conditions, the greater the significance for the test flight of the mecha. But although I understood in my heart, as the experiment time approached, Duan Hengye's hand that was gently inserted into the pocket of the lab coat couldn't help but clench...
At this time, the military staff who had been staying in the preparation room just came out one after another from the door. After seeing Duan Hengye standing by the window, Yu Xinlan was obviously taken aback, then smiled at him and said, "Professor Duan, why are you standing here?"
In fact, everything that Duan Hengye could do had already been done. After studying the weather, he stood by the window and started to be in a daze. Now suddenly hearing Yu Xinlan's words, Duan Hengye finally turned around. He took his hand out of his pocket, then turned around and said to Xinlan, "It's nothing, I was thinking about the experiment for a while."
"Hey, this." Yu Xinlan looked very relaxed, she waved her hand, and then walked quickly to Duan Hengye's side. When she came over, the pair of high-heeled shoes Yu Xinlan was wearing knocked on her body during the experiment. There was a loud noise on the metal floor of the room.
"It's alright, this experimental project is very basic, and it is our Marshal who will fly." In fact, at the beginning of several experiments, Yu Xinlan himself was very worried. But after watching several experiments, she was completely relieved of Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai.
The shoes Yu Xinlan was wearing today had very high heels, and when they walked to Duan Hengye's side, they were only half a head apart. Yu Xinlan put his hand on Duan Hengye's shoulder very naturally, and said carelessly, "You and the Marshal are a perfect match, don't worry."
Just when Xinlan was talking like this, the door of the mecha preparation room behind Duan Hengye opened again, and the metal door slid across the ground without making a sound. However, the sound of footsteps behind him reminded Duan Hengye that someone was approaching his position.
Meng Jinhuai had already changed into his lab coat and walked here. Just like the first experiment, he was still wearing that black lab coat today. At this time, there were small dark blue lightning bolts moving quickly. It's very mysterious up there. Although Duan Hengye had seen Meng Jinhuai wearing a lab coat many times during this period, he was still amazed by the appearance of the other party every time he saw it.
Different from Duan Hengye's nervous appearance, Meng Jinhuai looked very natural and relaxed now. The moment the door to the mecha preparation room opened just now, Meng Jinhuai heard what Yu Xinlan had just said. Although he didn't know what the two were talking about, Meng Jinhuai clearly agreed with the last sentence Yu Xinlan just said.
He came over, and stood quietly on the other side of Duan Hengye. After feeling the powerful aura from Lord Marshal, Yu Xinlan calmly took his hand off Duan Hengye's shoulder, and then coughed lightly as if nothing had happened.
"The experiment is now ready, and the Marshal can now conduct the test flight."
Meng Jinhuai hadn't said anything to Duan Hengye, when a military staff member came up and said so. After hearing this, Meng Jinhuai patted Duan Hengye lightly on the shoulder, and then said in his ear, "Okay, I'm going for a test flight."
The recent test flight period of the mecha may be the longest period of time that Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai have worked together. Although the test flight is different from ordinary work, after the two get together, the originally tense and serious atmosphere will always become warm in an instant, as if waiting for Meng Jinhuai to do it, it is not such a dangerous experimental flight but just an ordinary flight. work the same.
Meng Jinhuai would tell Duan Hengye like this every time he set off for a test flight, and this time was no exception.
After the two briefly said a few words, Meng Jinhuai turned around and walked towards the machine to the side to try to walk over, while Duan Hengye and the other staff returned to their positions.
The leather monitoring seat is always so cold, Duan Hengye touched the armrest, and then looked at the light screen. Although I was a little nervous just now, the experiment has been going on for so long after all, and Duan Hengye is very confident in the result. After returning to the monitoring station, he sat down, and then began to concentrate on his work with everyone looking forward to it for a while.
The huge mecha appeared out of the window again.
After careful scanning with red light, the mecha flew out from here.
The staff who came to participate in the experiment today are basically the backbone staff of the military department and the research institute. The five-hour work has a tacit understanding and high efficiency.
The data on the experimental screen in front of Duan Hengye's eyes was changing rapidly. Because the experimental projects were so intensive this time, everyone had to pay close attention to keep up with the progress of the task.
This time, Duan Hengye, who was the chief controller, didn't have to stare at the experimental data all the time. He had been watching the surveillance video outside the mecha. I don't know if it's because of the intensive experimental projects, but this time, time seems to pass very fast. When the mecha reappeared outside the window, there was a burst of violent applause at the scene.
The nerves in the back row had been tense, and the staff who had been mentally concentrated for five hours instantly stood up from their chairs and started hugging.
After hearing the lively voices coming from behind, Duan Hengye realized that the experiment was officially over now.
…
However, unlike the daze after the first experimental flight, Duan Hengye also stood up with them after seeing everyone's reaction. The deputy dean of the research institute, Su Mingge, ran to Duan Hengye from nowhere, and gave him a big hug.
"Hard work... Congratulations!" Su Mingge is a very emotional person, Duan Hengye could hear it, when the other party hugged him, there was a bit of choking in his words.
Although Su Mingge did not participate in a large number of top-level mecha design work, and only held some departmental meetings with Duan Hengye, he has been in the Imperial Mecha Research Institute for many years. At the beginning, when Su Mingge entered the research institute, Duan Hengye's parents were still working here. At that time, the research institute was at a low point, but Duan Hengye's parents gave him the confidence to continue to complete this industry and his own career.
When he met the original owner before, Su Mingge was also disappointed by some of his actions, and thought that he was not worthy of the status of the director of the research institute. But as time went by, Duan Hengye had gradually adapted to his status as the dean, and led the institute to a better direction... In fact, in these days, Su Mingge's work has been touched day by day. accumulated in the heart.
But now, the birth of a new top-level mecha finally made his emotions come out.
Su Mingge understood the significance of top-level mecha to Duan Hengye, as well as to the entire research institute, and even to Duan Hengye's entire family.
This mecha is not the result of Duan Hengye's hard work alone, but the only inheritance and connection he has with his parents now. Looking up, in addition to personal emotions, this is also a testimony to the history of an industry.
Su Mingge couldn't help giving Duan Hengye a big hug, and then Duan Hengye felt a small wet spot on his shoulder.
No matter in this life or in the past, Duan Hengye has never had any experience in coaxing people. After feeling the wet feeling on his shoulders, Duan Hengye was stunned for a moment, and then he stretched out his hand blankly. He patted Su Mingge on the shoulder, and after thinking for a while, said, "...Thank you."
After hearing the three words "Thank you", Su Mingge's face finally lifted from Duan Hengye's shoulders. It can be seen that Su Mingge's eyes are now very red and even slightly swollen. But after listening to Duan Hengye's words, Su Mingge suddenly laughed and said.
"I have nothing to thank, it's all your credit." He shook his head and said.
The mecha stopped steadily at the original position, and there was a light noise in the room behind the hall. After a while, the hatch behind him opened again.
Meng Jinhuai appeared in front of everyone wearing that black lab coat. After seeing him come in, the staff who were cheering and hugging at the venue immediately turned their attention to the door, and then began to applaud him.
The applause lasted for a few minutes, until the military staff began to salute Meng Jinhuai, and everyone quieted down. At this time, Meng Jinhuai also stood up straight again, and then returned a military salute to everyone.
The scene was quiet again, and Meng Jinhuai continued to say: "Thank you for your cooperation recently... From today, the new mecha will officially enter service." This news sounds very simple, but in fact the meaning behind it is incomparably significant.
Different from the grand ceremony held before the official service of the last mass-produced mecha, the confidentiality of the top mecha this time was done very well, and the virtual experiments and test flights were also very low-key. But now, Nan Zhuxing will not hold a ceremony for this matter like the last time, but will simplify the whole process.
Just after the last test flight, the staff registered directly on the website of the Ministry of Military Affairs, and not a second was wasted. Obviously, the situation is urgent now, neither Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai nor the entire Ye Tian Empire want to continue to delay this matter.
Although Interstellar is now guessing that the flight experiment of the new mecha is only about 60%, there are still some mecha enthusiasts who will refresh the relevant website every day to see if there is anything new worthy of attention.
Hard work pays off, this time they finally discovered an interstellar event.
Not long after Meng Jinhuai came out of the mecha, the military website directly updated the service list. It was also at this time that people knew that before the meeting between the Yetian Empire and the Li Sheng Alliance was over, on the other side, the empire's The new machine has ended the experiment.
This time is much faster than people think, which directly caught the league by surprise.
Obviously the meeting is not over yet, but the strength between the two sides has already produced such a big gap. On the one hand, the enthusiasm of the people of the Yetian Empire was high, and on the other hand, the alliance that had been in the shadows because of the defeat in the war became even more dusty.
The simple result reached after the first meeting was clearly that the Empire would no longer be satisfied.
Although it is only a small mecha service information, the official website of the military is only twenty words, but the star network is completely boiling. Citizens of the Empire, in particular, are constantly speaking out, wanting the Alliance to make greater concessions in compensation.
Although Meng Jinhuai was still testing the flying star, the meeting process over there did not stop because of this. The two sides have been chasing the same thing in the past few days, but after the news that the new mecha is in service, even the atmosphere of the meeting has changed visibly.
After the test flight, Meng Jinhuai returned to the planet where the meeting was held a day later.
It can be seen from the meeting that the attitude of the Li Sheng Alliance has obviously softened a lot. They want to go back to the first meeting and agree to the compensation request made by the empire at that time. But it is a pity that now with the emergence of new types of mechas, the empire no longer wants to give in. They didn't want to just get ordinary indemnity, and the return of the lost planet - now that the Empire has a force to rely on, they want to gain greater benefits.
Because of the change in the attitude of the Ye Tian Empire, the alliance that used to be more stubborn also began to seek breathing room.
The meeting entered the countdown stage. After several discussions, they finally signed the final agreement. In addition to indemnity and resource replacement, the alliance would return all the planets it had taken from the empire in recent years. However, this return is not a temporary thing, but will last for thirty years, which is a long time.
Although the time line is very long, this is already a great concession for the alliance that has never let go.
In fact, anyone who has a good understanding of the interstellar situation can see that the most important achievement this time is not indemnity or return of the planet, but peace.
The impact of the war on both countries is particularly great. For example, the planet where the meeting is now held is on the borderline, so the economy has never been able to develop. The current bad state of peace coupled with economic compensation is enough to bring a series of planets in the Empire back to the pre-war level, or even beyond this level.
When the agreement was finally signed, Duan Hengye also came to this planet. Just like the previous meetings were broadcast live to the whole world, the final signing ceremony was also reported to the stars.
Duan Hengye didn't seem to want to come early. The time his assistant Ye Pu had set for him was half an hour before the meeting, which was a little rushed. When Duan Hengye came to this planet, most of the guests who participated in the event were already present.
In order to participate in this event today, the military department specially prepared a formal suit for Duan Hengye. The planet where the meeting was being held was in early summer. Duan Hengye was wearing a linen-like off-white suit, which looked very cool, but the shape was very orthodox, so the clothes did not look very casual.
Just like before the first meeting, there were many reporters waiting outside the hall, and Duan Hengye saw the camera around the hover car as soon as he came out.
Perhaps due to the small size of the venue, the reporter's shooting area was very close to where the hovercraft landed. Duan Hengye saw a bunch of people surrounding him when he flicked the levitator.
But just when he was hesitating to say hello to everyone before going in, he suddenly saw Meng Jinhuai, who had been in the conference room for a long time, walk out quickly. The Marshal came over and took Duan Hengye's hand, and before the reporter could react, the two walked directly into the conference room.
In general, Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai moved very fast, and those reporters were caught off guard.
Although the auras of Meng Jinhuai and Duan Hengye are visible to the naked eye, the reporters' enthusiasm for new news reports will not be affected by this. Just when Duan Hengye was standing here, in fact, some reporters had already thought about the topic to ask him directly after a while, but who was the Marshal who appeared so timely. It didn't take long for the two to disappear under the reporter's camera, leaving them no chance to speak.
After passing through the human wall surrounded by reporters at the entrance, Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai appeared in a corridor in the conference room hall.
Duan Hengye noticed that maybe the economic conditions of this planet were not good, and the room was of an antique shape. At this time, the space he was in was very similar to the setting of a general banquet hall in the earth, not like the interstellar era. There are high-tech products everywhere.
By the way, there is no special architectural structure here, the whole structure looks unusually simple, but this kind of decoration style is very suitable for Duan Hengye.
After walking in, Meng Jinhuai suddenly turned to look at him, and then asked, "Has A-Heng been watching the news on Xingwang recently?"
Hearing this, Duan Hengye nodded and asked, "What's wrong."
Because of the reason that only the two of them were talking in the corridor now, the echoes kept wafting in my ears after a sentence was dropped. After hearing Duan Hengye's rhetorical question, Meng Jinhuai did not answer the matter directly, he smiled and said, "Do you think that if you were the president of the Li Sheng Alliance, or if you were a member of the alliance, you would do it under this circumstance. whats the matter?"
In fact, Duan Hengye usually doesn't find any problems with this incident, but who told him to keep following the news about this incident and know that this incident has a great impact on the plot of the second half of the novel. So after hearing Meng Jinhuai's question, Duan Hengye thought for a while, and then said, "They will never be willing to pay such a large compensation... So I think they may choose to do it when the strength of the empire has not fully recovered. counterattack…”
After listening to Duan Hengye's words, Meng Jinhuai was stunned for a moment. He didn't even think of Duan Hengye yet.
After listening to this, Meng Jinhuai slowly raised his lowered head, looked out the window not far away and said, "You are right, what we have to wait now is not the alliance's gradual slowdown in the past few decades. We will return the stars that belong to us one by one. Instead, we should prepare more intensely for their final attack."
Because of this meeting, the entire empire was very excited for a while.
But at the same time, the military was already preparing for the alliance's counterattack. In fact, after listening to Meng Jinhuai's words, Duan Hengye couldn't help but admire him.
These conjectures made by Duan Hengye were completely conjectured by the plot at the back of the book. But Meng Jinhuai was different. He actually made such an accurate estimate based on his own understanding of the other party and a few days of meetings.
Duan Hengye slowly looked away...
In this way, the time of the last battle originally written in the book is bound to be advanced.
