Ye Tian Empire has its own mecha flying planet. Although this planet is owned by the royal family, all the executives in it are dispatched from the military department.
The design of new mechas is not a simple matter. In recent years, the entire empire has only registered less than ten mechas. When there is no test flight mission, the test pilots are all in military uniforms. Served, and this exclusive test fly star is also in an unmanned state.
The choice of which planet to use as a mecha test fly is actually very particular. For example, this test flying star of Ye Tian Empire is very famous in the whole interstellar space.
The reason why this planet is famous is not only because of the existence of Yetian Empire Mecha Research Institute and the Imperial Military Department, but also because of the harsh natural and geographical conditions on the planet.
As an experimental star, all the harsh conditions on the interstellar must be simulated as much as possible. Therefore, the environment of this planet is also so bad that it can't get any worse. Extremely high temperature and low temperature coexist on it. All kinds of cosmic rays that can be named and can't be named recklessly break into the planet. In addition, there are all kinds of space junk. Visit from time to time…
Because the conditions are too special, when Ye Tian Empire has no mecha flight test missions, it is often rented by some countries with good relations to carry out test flight work.
As the director of the Imperial Mecha Research Institute, Duan Hengye had already heard of the name "Test Flying Star", but he never had the chance to come here.
A few days after the assembly of the new mecha, the light brain calculated the best time for the experiment. Along with this, Duan Hengye, the mecha maker, also arrived on the flying star ahead of schedule. He also came with Meng Jinhuai and two generals from the military.
This is an extremely barren planet, Duan Hengye saw it from the window of the starship. Although it was not as terrifying as Duan Hengye imagined, it was a terrifying scene of hell on earth. But whether it is a light storm covering most of the sky, or a dark earth, these are not related to beauty.
Because the weather conditions of the flying star have been relatively bad, even the giant starship of the military has been lingering in the air and waiting for a long time before finally finding the right time to land from the gap in the storm.
This starship uses the most advanced sound insulation materials available, and Duan Hengye does not understand the meteorological terminology of interstellar. But he could still hear from the starship broadcast alone that the storm on the test flying star was strong enough to roll up and crush the mountain in an instant.
"Attention, the starship is starting to land, please pay attention to safety." After a beep sound, an electronically synthesized female voice came on the starship. After a few more seconds, the seat belt on Duan Hengye's seat automatically popped out, and then firmly fixed him here. At the same time, all the clutter that was placed on the table was also put into a special device.
Duan Hengye couldn't help but get nervous, but even though he didn't understand planetary weather, his experience as a mecha designer told himself that the defensiveness of this giant starship was comparable to that of the top mechas. Although this storm was dangerous, But it still doesn't pose much of a threat to it.
Duan Hengye slowly exhaled and gradually relaxed. As the height of the starship gradually decreased, his hand also moved to the armrest of the sofa, and then clenched it tightly. Seeing this, Meng Jinhuai, who had not spoken, glanced at Duan Hengye, and then said softly, "It's okay, when I came to test the flying star once before, the weather on the planet changed drastically, and finally the starship passed through the storm and was still safe and sound. ."
Although Meng Jinhuai said it very lightly, after hearing his words, Duan Hengye couldn't help but sweat over what had ended.
At this moment, the window suddenly fell into darkness, and no light could penetrate. Duan Hengye knew that now the starship had officially entered the crack of the storm. The darkness lasted for a total of five or six minutes, and during this period, the starship, which was running smoothly, began to shake slightly.
No one in the cabin spoke, Duan Hengye's eyes kept staring at the altitude record on the light screen in front of him.
Although nothing could be seen on the pitch-black window, the numbers on the light screen told Duan Hengye that the starship was descending at an extremely fast speed.
Finally, when the starship landed to still five thousand kilometers above the surface, light came in from the window. At the same time, the seat belt on Duan Hengye loosened by himself, and the debris on the table appeared again.
"... It's going to land soon." Duan Hengye glanced out the window and muttered to himself.
"The diameter of the storm just now was about 30,000 kilometers." At this moment, Meng Jinhuai suddenly turned around and said to Duan Hengye. He knew that Duan Hengye sometimes lacked some "common sense" in interstellar life, but he was very happy to understand them. Sure enough, just as Meng Jinhuai's voice fell, Duan Hengye suddenly opened his eyes, and then repeated the number again.
30,000 kilometers? Duan Hengye couldn't help but once again raised his head and glanced at the distant storm. It turned out that he had just passed through a storm with a diameter greater than that of the earth. Although he had lived in the interstellar era for a while, until now, after hearing this number, Duan Hengye still felt a little unreal in his heart.
The gray-black storm was getting farther and farther away. After the sound of the internal beeping sound of the starship, Duan Hengye lowered his eyes to the window again. It turned out that before he knew it, the starship had landed steadily on the test fly. on the land.
…
This planet is different from anything Duan Hengye has been to before. Because the environment on the planet's surface is too bad, it is not absolutely impossible for people to be directly exposed on the planet's surface. So when the starship stopped, Duan Hengye saw that a corridor suddenly extended from the outside of the black metal building in front, and then connected to the starship.
"Okay, you can go out." Seeing Duan Hengye sitting there without moving, Meng Jinhuai, who had stood up, bent over and said to him.
At this time, the distance between the two was a little closer, and after seeing the enlarged face of the other, Duan Hengye shifted his eyes unnaturally to one side, and then stood up from his seat.
Before Duan Hengye, many people had already arrived at the test flying star, including the meteorological team responsible for escorting the mission and the monitoring team of the research institute. This group will be led by Duan Hengye personally, and Su Mingge will do auxiliary work.
In addition to these traditional teams who participated in the flight test work, Duan Hengye also called over another person who had never been at the test flight site before. Speaking of which, the two of them had only met at An Luo University a few days ago, and that person was Wen Xun Yin, the director of the Institute of Spiritual Power.
After seeing the landing of the starship, the staff who had been waiting on the test flying star walked outside the corridor and waited. As soon as Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai entered the building, they walked up and shook hands with them in turn. The people present were all big figures in the interstellar space. After a simple greeting, Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai sat in the monitoring hall together, waiting for a while for the test flight work.
Now most of the people participating in this activity have come, and after another ten minutes, the last few people also walked into the monitoring hall through the corridor.
The leader is a middle-aged man wearing a mecha pilot suit. Although his appearance is not outstanding, he has a very special powerful and calm temperament. After he came over, he first gave a military salute to Meng Jinhuai, and then said to the two: "Reporting to the Marshal, Professor Duan. I am the executor of this test flight, from the military test flight group."
It turned out that this was the test pilot who carried out this mission. After He Wenxun and Yin determined the scope of the test pilot's mental power, Duan Hengye called up the military test pilot's information and found him in it. The test pilot is very precious, and Duan Hengye did not see his photo due to confidentiality. But now, after meeting him, Duan Hengye found that this man really fits the image of a "test pilot" in his heart.
Seeing Duan Hengye looking at him, the test pilot nodded at him again and said, "Thank you Professor Duan for your trust!"
Although his spouse Meng Jinhuai is a soldier. People, but Lord Meng Jinhuai's way of speaking is more ordinary. Now hear a real Imperial Army. Duan Hengye couldn't help but become serious when he was talking to him seriously. He shook hands with the test pilot and said, "Thank you."
After Duan Hengye's voice fell, the test pilot gave him a military salute once again.
After greeting him, Duan Hengye noticed that there was an old man standing behind the test pilot. His beard and hair are all white, and although he still looks energetic, his slightly sluggish actions are still telling the outside world the fact that he is old.
Seeing Duan Hengye looking at him, the old man smiled at him and walked over.
"Hello, Professor Duan, I'm the reporter covering this test flight." He said while shaking hands with Duan Hengye, then the old man walked over to shake hands with Meng Jinhuai and said, "Long time no see, Lord Marshal. "
Does this old man know Meng Jinhuai
Duan Hengye looked at them curiously.
He knew earlier that although this event would not be live broadcast, reporters from Star Network would come to film it, and finally edit the content into about ten minutes and put it on the news program. The old man in front of him was obviously past retirement age, so how could he become the reporter in charge of this matter
Unlike Duan Hengye's puzzled look, Meng Jinhuai obviously knew him. After the two finished greeting, the old man said to Meng Jinhuai, "It's been so many years, and it was decades ago that I came to test Flying Star for the first time." After he finished speaking, his eyes also showed a little bit. miss the meaning.
After the two chatted briefly, Meng Jinhuai turned around and introduced to Duan Hengye: "Mr. Yan was a well-known war reporter in the interstellar space when he was young, and he was a friend of my parents. Although Mr. After knowing that there was a test flight mission, he still offered to report on the test flight star."
Hearing this, Duan Hengye finally understood the identity of the old man in front of him. At this time, the old man also looked at Duan Hengye, half-remembering and half-feeling, and said, "Perhaps Professor Duan doesn't remember me anymore, but I still remember that when you were young, I went to the research institute to interview you. parents."
Hearing Mr. Yan's words, Duan Hengye was startled. Thinking back carefully, this seems to be the first time he has heard people mention his parents after entering this novel. In Duan Hengye's memory, although they were well-known scientists in the interstellar space, their daily life was very low-key, and they didn't even leave the planet where the institute was located often.
"You and your mother look very much alike," the old man said after looking at it for a while.
Although Duan Hengye had never met the original owner's parents, the amazing thing was that after hearing someone mention them, he actually had some desire to ask questions. However, reason told Duan Hengye that now is not a good time. The data on the light screen in front of him showed that the planet was about to reach its best state for test flight, and he needed to sit on the monitoring seat to work.
…
The layout of the monitoring hall is very similar to that of a satellite monitoring center on Earth. Each staff member has a different light screen in front of it, and at the very front of the hall stands a huge screen with a length and width of more than 30 meters. .
Behind the light screen is a window. At the beginning of the test flight, the light screen is in a dormant state. At this time, people in the house can observe directly from the window, and after the mecha is far away, the light screen will end its sleep and start broadcasting the pictures around the mecha.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone in the hall, the test pilot walked into the preparation room. A few minutes later, a silver-white mecha flew out from the skylight of the preparation room, and then appeared in front of the window in an instant.
From the corner of Duan Hengye's eyes, he saw that since the mecha appeared in front of the window, Wen Xunyin, who was sitting beside him, stared at the light screen in front of him, and then quickly recorded the change in mental power. Seemingly feeling Duan Hengye's gaze, he turned around and said in a low voice, "Everything is normal. Mental power and mecha are very compatible."
Although the simulation experiment has been very comprehensive, at this time, there is a big living person sitting in the mecha. No matter how strong Duan Hengye's mental quality was, he still couldn't help being nervous about the experiment. But now after hearing Wen Xunyin's words, Duan Hengye finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The silver-white mecha stopped in front of the window for a few seconds, and then flew towards the sky at the fastest speed in just three seconds. Looking at it with the naked eye, this huge mecha just disappeared in front of people's eyes in an instant.
After it took off, Duan Hengye quickly moved his eyes from the window to the small light screen in front of him. This records the natural environment data around the mecha, as well as the state of the mecha itself. It can be seen from the green indicator light on the screen that the mecha is in good condition at this time.
As a mecha that condenses countless high-precision and cutting-edge technologies in the interstellar space, there are hundreds of items of data monitored by "Nanzhu" at this time. No matter how powerful Duan Hengye was, it was impossible for him to see everything clearly. In fact, today's monitoring tasks are mainly carried out by the working group of the research institute. Duan Hengye and Su Mingge are responsible for the implementation of several emergency plans.
After confirming that the mecha data was normal at this time, Duan Hengye raised his head and looked at the huge light screen not far away. At this time, "Nan Zhu" had already flown to the edge of the test flying star interstellar storm. After a few seconds of waiting, the silver-white mecha rushed into the storm without hesitation.
Flying in an interstellar storm is a quality that a mech must have. However, after seeing the rapidly rotating interstellar storm on the satellite image, Duan Hengye couldn't help but sweat it.
At this time, there were two different states in the monitoring hall.
The research team represented by Duan Hengye was extremely nervous. Su Mingge, who had always looked at the sky and was not afraid of the earth, could not help biting his lips, not to mention the staff of the research institute who wanted to get into the light screen. In stark contrast to this trip, the military staff represented by Meng Jinhuai were all calm and relaxed. Looking at the extremely dangerous picture on the light screen, this group of people didn't even frown.
Because of the tension, Duan Hengye looked at Meng Jinhuai with a more straightforward look. When he found that Duan Hengye was looking at him with an inquiring look, Meng Jinhuai suddenly opened his mouth and said to him: "When an army man goes to the battlefield, the first thing he has to learn is 'trust'. ."
While speaking, Meng Jinhuai still looked at the light screen in front of him, his expression was still relaxed, but there was a firmness in his words that could not be ignored.
The word "trust" made Duan Hengye's heart tighten.
Then Meng Jinhuai continued: "Not only do you have trust in your superiors, but also in the mechas you drive. If an army. People don't believe in their own mechas, then it's better not to go to the battlefield."
Meng Jinhuai's tone was very flat, but the meaning in his words made Duan Hengye feel guilty for no reason. Because Duan Hengye always remembered that the original owner had just touched Meng Jinhuai's mecha on the day he crossed into this world.
As Meng Jinhuai said just now, to be able to drive this mecha, he must trust the mecha and the mecha designer. But the original owner took advantage of this trust and slapped Meng Jinhuai hard.
Duan Hengye didn't even dare to think, how does Meng Jinhuai view that incident now, and how does he view himself as the mastermind behind the scenes
Although the person who tampered with the mecha data was not Duan Hengye, every time he thought about it, Duan Hengye couldn't help feeling guilty and... fearful.
Meng Jinhuai felt that Duan Hengye's mood was obviously lowered. But before he could say anything, the large screen in front of him disappeared again, and the mecha "Nan Zhu" reappeared outside the window.
Although today's flight test project is relatively basic, it is the most dangerous and most test of the performance of the mecha. Now after dozens of minutes of flight, when the mecha reappeared in front of the window, all the staff in the hall stood up from their chairs, and then applauded outside the window.
Although there are still many experimental projects in the future, and the test flight will last for more than two months. But today's mission is completed with zero mistakes, which means that the most important functions of the mecha are running normally. In the subsequent flight test experiments, only the staff of the special team of the research institute will be resident here.
Seeing that the experiment of the mecha had ended, Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai also stood up like everyone else. After a few more seconds, the test pilot walked back into the hall, and Meng Jinhuai, the marshal, walked up to him and began to communicate with him. At the same time, Duan Hengye also began to organize the data together with all the staff of the research institute.
Although today's test flight mission was completed very smoothly, and the data were almost exactly the same as those simulated by the optical brain, this kind of post-summary work is still very necessary.
After the experiment was over, the entire hall suddenly became busy. On the surface, Duan Hengye seemed to have forgotten what he was thinking about just now, but in reality... After staring at the data on the light screen for countless times, Su Mingge, who was sitting on the side, finally couldn't help his expression. He asked nervously, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the data?"
Duan Hengye's usual appearance was so calm that his present contemplative and tangled appearance frightened the surrounding staff. When Duan Hengye looked up, he realized that almost all the colleagues from the research institute around him were looking at him with apprehension. If it wasn't for Su Mingge's question, it is estimated that some people would be scared and start re-checking the data immediately.
After realizing that his state was affecting others, Duan Hengye hurriedly shook his head and said, "Sorry, I was distracted just now. I haven't had a good rest in the past few days, so... um, I'm a little sleepy." While explaining, he reached out his hand unconsciously. After pressing the temple, and seeing Duan Hengye's appearance, the surrounding staff finally felt relieved.
Su Mingge smiled and patted Duan Hengye on the shoulder and said, "Okay, now that 90% of the data has been verified, do you want to rest first?"
Just like what Su Mingge said, the experimental data will be checked soon, and the remaining ones are also some very simple auxiliary system values. Taking another look at the screen, Duan Hengye, who had no confidence in his state, stood up. He took a deep breath and nodded, "Okay, thank you for your hard work."
Among the people present today, apart from the test pilots, the staff of the research institute have the heaviest task. So by the time Duan Hengye finished 90% of the data verification, there were not many people left in the hall.
Duan Hengye saw that Meng Jinhuai was standing in front of the window looking at the gray-black storm in the distance. He couldn't help but walk over slowly, and after Duan Hengye came over, Meng Jinhuai also glanced sideways at him and asked unexpectedly, "Did A Heng have anything to say just now?"
Now Duan Hengye didn't completely let go of what happened just now. After hearing Meng Jinhuai's words, he was silent for a while, and finally turned to look at the other party and said slowly: "My next work plan is to complete the top-level mecha. replacement work.”
Duan Hengye never concealed his desires and goals. After hearing his words, Meng Jinhuai was not surprised.
And then, Duan Hengye continued to inject the other party and asked, "Are you still willing to believe me?" After speaking, Duan Hengye couldn't help but get nervous. He was both looking forward to the answer and dreading hearing it.
Before Meng Jinhuai could respond, Duan Hengye added, "Tell the truth."
Duan Hengye didn't know that his serious expression and the words "speak the truth" at this moment made Meng Jinhuai have the illusion that he was facing a stubborn child at this moment.
So... Obviously he was talking about a serious topic, but Duan Hengye saw that the Marshal couldn't help laughing at him, then he nodded lightly and said to himself, "Of course I will always trust you."
