No one in the entire galaxy knows about the Tixingxing incident, and Su Mingge now naturally knows how high Duan Hengye's force value is. But the concept of "knowing" is completely different from the shock that the violent scene gave him.
Su Mingge couldn't help but looked Duan Hengye up and down, then silently stretched out his hand to support the table behind him.
"You... talk about it." He abruptly brought the topic back.
The atmosphere was awkward for a while.
From what Duan Hengye was doing when he saw Su Mingge for the first time, it could be seen that he was really a talkative person.
After this discussion, within half a day, the entire Yetian Mecha Research Institute knew about Duan Hengye's accidental damage to the light brain. There are already many people in the Imperial Academy, and it is spread by ten, and this episode has spread throughout the entire interstellar space in an extremely fast time.
In the process of spreading the news, it is natural to add fuel and vinegar.
So later, when this matter came back to Duan Hengye's ears, it became - because he was worried about the safety of the marshal, Duan Hengye destroyed his brain in a hurry.
-no! There are so many flaws in this sentence!
Although he was a little desperate about his image, Duan Hengye still collapsed after hearing the rumors. Obviously just got rid of an unimportant part, why is it rumored in the interstellar space that he destroyed the optical brain
As a must-have for everyone in the interstellar era, destroying the optical brain is a very troublesome thing. Duan Hengye couldn't believe that this extremely nonsensical rumor was admitted by so many people...
But in any case, this episode can be regarded as barely bringing a light to the tense research institute. Since the last conflict, the war between Ye Tian and the Li Sheng alliance has not been interrupted. The research institute also began to pay attention to the battle situation at all times, and the team responsible for the later system maintenance was working non-stop.
Compared with Earth, people in the interstellar age have made great progress in both physical and mental aspects, but the current work intensity is still somewhat beyond their limits.
At 3:40 in the night, a medium-sized battle had just ended, and the area where the research institute system maintenance team was located was brightly lit. Despite the strict implementation of the schedule, the staff were still extremely tired during this time, and the entire office area was filled with the bitter aroma of strong coffee.
At this moment, the silver-white door of the office area suddenly opened automatically.
Feeling the change in the light, the staff sitting by the door couldn't help but take a closer look, and then he realized that the person who came was actually Duan Hengye.
No, Duan Hengye didn't come alone.
The sudden sound of footsteps attracted the attention of the office area. After seeing Duan Hengye, many people stood up from their seats and began to greet him.
Immediately afterward, Duan Hengye also nodded towards the staff, then walked quickly to the center of the office area and said, "Thank you for your work in the recent period. Due to the tense situation, the tasks of the maintenance team have been very heavy. So from Starting today, I have loaned out some members from other groups to help you work together."
Tonight's Duan Hengye didn't wear the white uniform of the research institute, but a gray turtleneck loose sweater, which was something the staff had never seen before.
However, everyone's attention to the appearance only lasted for less than a second. After hearing Duan Hengye's words, the already sleepy staff immediately recovered.
Duan Hengye transferred members of other groups
Although he is also a member of Ye Tian Empire Mecha Research Institute, the existence of the maintenance team is often awkward. From the name alone, their work has little to do with the word "research". And because of the nature of the work, although it is very busy now, in non-war time this group is often in a panic.
Although no one has said it publicly before, the implicit discrimination chain in the institute has always existed, and they have indeed been ignored for a long time.
After Duan Hengye finished speaking, the office was quiet for a while, but now that the situation is urgent, Duan Hengye did not leave any time for everyone to express their emotions.
The office is large and has no PA. In order to let everyone hear his words, Duan Hengye couldn't help raising the volume and began to redistribute manpower and work.
After the new personnel assignment was completed, the work of the maintenance team was back on track after a few minutes, and the efficiency was greatly improved.
The maintenance team has been in constant contact with the military department. After the work resumed, the incident of Duan Hengye's appearance in the night was also passed on to the command starship at the border of the Yetian Empire...
The arrival of war is always very sudden. In recent days, Duan Heng has been awakened by sudden notifications in his brain countless times during the night. In order to work in other areas, Duan Hengye's residence once again changed from the living area to the office area.
That night, after he arranged the maintenance team's work and returned to his residence, his brain lighted up again within a few minutes.
After chatting with Su Mingge last time, Duan Heng Yebian had new ideas for the system transformation of Meng Jinhuai's mecha. The maintenance team has been busy these days, and Professor Duan has never stopped working.
He was already very sleepy now, but after seeing the prompt on the optical brain, Duan Hengye quickly opened it, then directly activated the super optical brain of the research institute, and entered the interior of the military in a short time. in the system.
Duan Hengye, who is the "marshal's spouse", has long been a member of Nan Zhuxing by default, and has obtained a higher notification authority. So even if he didn't break into the military's intranet, the news he received was much more detailed than ordinary people.
For example, Duan Hengye could see from the light-brain prompt just now that this sudden outbreak of war was more intense than the previous ones.
Duan Hengye, who was already familiar with the background path, immediately found Meng Jinhuai's mecha. Just after the projection was turned on, an extremely dazzling red light came in from the front window of the mecha. Although the mecha window had a special filter coating, Duan Hengye's eyes were still blurred after the flash of light.
After the light was normal, Duan Hengye saw that opposite Meng Jinhuai's mecha, there was a sea of mechas that could not be seen at a glance. Just by looking at the mecha styles, you can see that they all belong to the Li Sheng Alliance.
Meng Jinhuai's mecha fell into the opponent's encirclement!
This fact immediately drove away all of Duan Heng's drowsiness.
The book "Dumping the Stars" has described many dangerous battles, but even those described as "nine deaths" have never happened to the marshal mecha being surrounded by enemy troops.
When Duan Hengye heard it, his breathing became rapid. In the real-time surveillance video, the other party's attack wave after wave, although Meng Jinhuai's operation is still accurate, but the meaning of "outnumbered" has been vaguely revealed.
Seeing this scene, Duan Hengye quickly exited the holographic video, and then quickly began to input information on the super optical brain of the research institute.
Intuition told Duan Hengye that if he didn't do anything, Meng Jinhuai might really have an accident this time.
Just like the original owner could remotely manipulate the weapon system of Meng Jinhuai's mecha, putting the opponent in crisis. Duan Hengye can also use a similar principle to help him maintain the system remotely.
The situation was so critical that Duan Hengye had no time to think about whether he would be caught by the tracking system written by Meng Jinhuai again. And he also knows that compared to the sudden abnormality of the system, the remote "upgrade" is hard to notice.
The super optical brain of the research institute has the most detailed data of Meng Jinhuai's mecha, and Duan Hengye has been studying it for the past few days. Therefore, after officially breaking into the internal system of the mecha, he was not confused by those dazzling data. Duan Hengye pursed his lips, his eyes were fixed on the screen, his expression was very serious.
As time passed by, the super bright brain in the office illuminated Duan Hengye's face. The information input of his subordinates did not stop for a second, and Meng Jinhuai's mecha system was quietly upgrading little by little...
Duan Hengye, who was busy revising the system, didn't see it. Meng Jinhuai, who was driving the mecha, frowned at first, then suddenly looked away from the window and glanced at the controller inside the mecha.
Just now, Meng Jinhuai suddenly felt that his originally tense mental strength was loosened, and the whole person was relieved a lot - just like a traveler who traveled a thousand miles suddenly put down his heavy rucksack. With the relaxation of his mental power, he also found that his control over the mecha was much stronger.
Meng Jinhuai is already the highest SSS-level mental power in the universe, and drives the most advanced mecha. For a mecha pilot of his strength, the slightest change in mental strength and the mecha is enough to produce a qualitative change on the battlefield.
Although he was puzzled, Meng Jinhuai's thinking returned to the mecha in an instant.
He quickly seized this change and concentrated his mental strength to wait for the right moment.
The Li Sheng Alliance team saw that the huge mecha that was dodging the attack suddenly stopped. Although they were puzzled, they quickly took advantage of this opportunity and launched an attack on the mecha driven by Meng Jinhuai together.
It's now!
In the research institute, Duan Hengye's hand pressed heavily on the virtual keyboard, and the last upgrade command was sent out. In the cockpit of the mecha, Meng Jinhuai once again felt that his control over the mecha was greatly enhanced.
The huge stationary mecha suddenly rose higher and higher diagonally upwards, and then jumped into the depths of the encirclement with a path that was difficult to analyze and plan!
Meng Jinhuai... Is this a life-threatening situation
In the distance, Yu Xinlan, who saw this scene, couldn't help but let out an exclamation. But she soon discovered that Meng Jinhuai didn't act on a whim, let alone "don't want to die". On the contrary, he found a "way of life" within the mecha's encirclement, a path that was not calculated by the optical brain.
Yu Xinlan watched with the soldiers of the empire, the huge silver mecha shuttled through the encirclement of the Li Sheng Alliance at an incredible angle. With absolute control over the mecha and superb mecha manipulation ability, Meng Jinhuai left the danger zone after only five minutes.
"T6P-9 area, start re-bracketing mode."
Meng Jinhuai's command voice appeared in the ears of every imperial soldier, but only Duan Hengye, who secretly entered the internal system and turned on the fact monitoring, heard it. At the moment of leaving the encirclement, the always powerful Imperial Marshal finally let out a sigh of relief.
…
Three hours later, one of the most critical wars in recent years ended with the victory of the Ye Tian Empire.
Although the Li Sheng Alliance still did not surrender, anyone who had studied the situation knew that the final victory had already beckoned to them not far away.
A silver mecha slowly landed in the inner cabin of the starship. After it landed smoothly, dozens of people surrounded it in an instant. These people are all senior officers of the military. The two leaders were the two generals beside Meng Jinhuai.
Although the war has been won, the expressions on everyone's faces are still serious.
After the initial surprise, people found that Meng Jinhuai's performance was a bit abnormal. Now, seeing this silver-white mecha whose surface has been burnt in large chunks, everyone is beginning to worry whether Meng Jinhuai has overdrawn his mental power in order to win.
The cabin door of the mecha did not open for a long time. Yu Xinlan walked slowly to the other admiral's side, then hesitated for a while and said in a low voice, "... He Wen, in another minute, do you want to force open the cabin door?"
In order to prevent the mecha driver from being trapped in the cabin due to physical exhaustion or other reasons, most of the mechas can be opened from the outside. Although this function itself is nothing, but in the hearts of imperial soldiers, it has another obscure representative - generally, this function is only used when the mecha driver is in a situation.
Hearing Yu Xinlan's words, Dongfang He Wen did not speak for a while, and after a few seconds he nodded slowly and said, "Okay."
Although the voices of the two generals were not loud, because the scene was too quiet, the conversation between the two was accurately transmitted to everyone's ears.
For a time, the atmosphere on the tarmac became extremely serious.
Yu Xinlan glanced at the light brain hanging beside him, and began to count the time silently.
For fifty seconds, the mecha did not move.
Thirty seconds later, there was still no response from the hatch.
Ten seconds... The quiet needle drop can be heard at the scene.
Yu Xinlan slowly closed his eyes, and then grabbed his light brain back into his hands.
"I'm going now—" However, before Xinlan could say the following words, Dongfang Hewen on the side grabbed her arm and said, "The door is open!" As a calm person, he only spoke more than Duan Hengye. Some generals, Dongfang and Wen rarely have such a excited tone.
Looking forward along his line of sight, I saw Meng Jinhuai's mecha slowly opening the door. Then, the marshal in black uniform came out.
After seeing his relaxed footsteps, everyone present couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. And Yu Xinlan, who was about to open the hatch from the outside, couldn't help but quickly stepped forward and asked, "Master Marshal! Do you need to rest in the nutrition cabin now?"
The advanced nutrition cabin on the starship can not only quickly recover from trauma, but also help to adjust mental strength. Meng Jinhuai, who didn't hear the question, shook his head and said, "No need." Then he quickly walked into the crowd under the incomprehensible gazes of Xinlan and Dongfang He.
Meng Jinhuai frowned and asked, "What about the staff of the technical team?"
After hearing his words, several people in gray uniforms stood up in the crowd, and they gave Meng Jinhuai a military salute.
"Yeah." The Marshal nodded to them, then turned to look at the two generals, "Come to my office." After speaking, he quickly left here.
Looking at Meng Jinhuai's retreating back, Yu Xinlan, who was standing there, walked to Dongfang Hewen's side, then bumped him with his elbow and whispered, "Do you think this scene seems familiar?"
"..." Hearing Yu Xinlan's words, he glanced at the technical staff in front who followed Meng Jinhuai to the office, and Dongfang He Wen nodded slowly.
They all recalled the day when Duan Hengye was exposed a few months ago.
…
Duan Hengye's original speculation was not wrong. Compared with the sudden abnormality of the system, almost no one would find out about its upgrade activities.
But whoever calls Meng Jinhuai is not an ordinary person.
As an SSS-level mecha driver, Meng Jinhuai can accurately capture any change on the mecha. He knew very well about this mecha that had accompanied him through life and death, and he naturally knew that the momentary change just now was definitely not his own illusion.
Just... Where did this change come from
In fact, Meng Jinhuai already had a vague answer in his heart.
The system that I tracked down to Duan Hengye last time was written by Meng Jinhuai himself. After he called the person in charge of the technical team, he directly told the other party to start using this system to check the changes to the mecha program.
In the inner room of the office, Yu Xinlan tentatively said his question, "Master Marshal, you... why do you want to call colleagues from the technical team here?"
Meng Jinhuai slowly put the mecha's driving badge on the table, then nodded and said, "Someone has modified the mecha program remotely, and the control of mental power and the smoothness of operation have been improved."
"But..." As an admiral, Yu Xinlan also has a lot more research on mecha than ordinary people. She hesitated and said: "The difficulty of tampering with the mecha program is completely different from the remote upgrade. And just now the mecha was running at its limit. , this behavior…”
Yu Xinlan didn't say the following words, Dongfang He Wen but who had been silent for a while, added her words unexpectedly, "It's too complicated, basically there is no possibility of success."
Meng Jinhuai didn't speak. He glanced at the badge and opened his brain. Here, the tracking progress of the technical team outside the office is displayed in real time.
Although the system program is very complicated, the two other than Meng Jinhuai are the generals of the empire after all. Although they can't operate it, they can understand it.
The technical team's inspection of the mecha program is about to end. After seeing the progress of their work, Yu Xinlan couldn't help but let out a long sigh and said, "Look... this system really doesn't have... no..." This sentence has not been finished. , Yu Xinlan slowly opened his eyes.
She saw that a red prompt suddenly flashed on the light brain, and at the same time, the coordinates of a super light brain on the other side of the empire appeared in front of the three of them.
Ye Tian Empire Mecha Research Institute.
... Could it be that it is really Duan Hengye
No, it can only be Duan Hengye!
Yu Xinlan felt that she needed to calm down now. Isn't Duan Hengye an undercover agent sent by the royal family? Not long ago, he had used Meng Jinhuai's mecha to kill him. How could he use such a complex technology to help the Marshal's mecha remotely upgrade
"This... why did the royal family ask him to help you?" Yu Xinlan, who was still in shock mode, asked dully.
After not hearing her words, Meng Jinhuai shook his head, and then said with great certainty, "This is not a request from the royal family."
"...Then?" Yu Xinlan couldn't help but stretch out her hand and stroke the dark red hair that fell to her forehead, blocking her vision. For some reason, a few words suddenly popped into her mind right now - a man's heart, a needle in the sea.
Duan Hengye, what are you thinking about!
Meng Jinhuai didn't answer her question, but just picked up the mecha pilot medal from the table again, and smiled while looking at it.
Yu Xinlan found out in desperation that not only did he not understand Duan Hengye, but he could not even understand what the Marshal was thinking.
…
After successfully locking Duan Hengye, Meng Jinhuai and the two generals rearranged the mecha queue together, and then Yu Xinlan and the two walked out of Meng Jinhuai's office together.
Perhaps after the Tizexing incident, Yu Xinlan still had doubts about what Meng Jinhuai said to him on Tizexing not long ago, "Duan Hengye intends to get rid of his puppet status". So now she finally admitted that Duan Hengye was indeed a different person than she imagined.
This starship is extremely large, and each military high-level has its own lounge. Just when she was thinking about it, she had accidentally walked past her own room. Seeing this, Dongfang He Wen couldn't help but stop and asked, "Where are you going?"
"Ah?" Yu Xin was stunned for a moment, only to realize that he had gone too far, "Oh, I passed by, and I was distracted just thinking about things."
Dongfang Hewen nodded his head to show his understanding, and then asked, "Are you thinking about Duan Hengye?"
"Yeah." Yu Xinlan has always been a person who will say anything, especially when facing his superiors and old partners. After hearing Dongfang Hewen's words, she repeated the last conversation with Meng Jinhuai to him. After speaking, he couldn't help but sigh: "I found that I really don't understand him."
Wen Yan Dongfang and Wen looked at Yu Xinlan with a very strange look.
"What do you think I'm doing?" Yu Xinlan was a little hairy from the other party's eyes.
"It's nothing" Dongfang Hewen shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't understand it, as long as the Marshal can understand it." When they said this, the two happened to walk outside the door of Dongfang Hewen's office, and after they finished speaking , he opened the door and walked in.
Standing alone in the corridor, Yu Xinlan was still thinking about what Dongfang Hewen said just now. After a long time, she suddenly "tsk tsk tsk..." for a while, and then suddenly realized: "It makes sense!"
