Interstellar day duty is very important, because some of the staff have left the military. In order to ensure the smooth progress of the work during the on-duty period, the on-duty work this time is personally in charge of the section chief of the Technology Section.
Therefore, after hearing the words of the staff member who suddenly ran in, everyone only heard an extremely harsh sound of chair feet slicing across the ground in the originally quiet room. Immediately afterwards, a man stood up from his chair.
"What... what?" he asked with wide eyes to the staff member who had just run in.
The person who spoke was the chief of the technical section who was mainly responsible for the security of the internal system of the military. After the voice fell, he realized that Duan Hengye, Yu Xinlan and others were still in the room.
All departments within the military have strict regulations on public work, and the behavior of rushing to speak before the marshal like he is now almost never happened before today.
To be able to become the section chief of the technical section, this staff member has obviously been in the military for quite a few years. After noticing that his reaction was too intense, the staff member who calmed down finally stammered and said "Sorry." Then he sat back again.
However, as the chief of the technical department showed, everyone present was very solemn, and it could even be said that they were panicked. The staff member's emergency report to Meng Jinhuai just now was also the first time they heard about it.
Before that, as ordinary staff of the technical department, they never even knew that someone had broken into the internal system of the military department.
Meng Jinhuai did not speak, while Yu Xinlan and Duan Hengye's assistant Ye Pu, who knew something vaguely but did not dare to guess, remained silent.
Seeing that these big men in the military did not say a word, the sweat on the forehead of the technical section chief began to drop drop by drop. Even the hands that were quietly hanging by his side began to tremble as time passed.
It's like a group of "mercenaries" attacking the military today. At that time, there were not many official staff members of the military in the team tracking down Duan Hengye, so most of them were unaware of it. As the person in charge of intranet maintenance, the pressure in his heart at this time was so great that he could crush people at any time.
Duan Hengye felt that... he seemed to have heard the sound of the sweat drops on the forehead of the person not far away.
As a conscientious person, after realizing that my past actions frightened others and feeling the suffocating silence of this moment. Duan Hengye began to reflect on whether he should confess now... Because of the sudden intrusion of the staff, Hengye was still sitting in front of his head at this time. It's just that the hand that was originally supporting the table was clenched into a fist at some point.
Just when Duan Hengye was hesitating, Yu Xinlan had been secretly observing Duan Hengye's reaction. Although there is no evidence yet, but to break through the internal system of the military and help repair the loopholes, she really thinks about it, only Duan Hengye can do it alone.
Yu Xinlan is not a person who is good at disguising his eyes. At this time, the eyes of the entire duty room are all focused on the three of them. After noticing the look in General Yu's eyes, the nervous staff also... silently moved their gazes to Duan Hengye's body, moving very neatly.
Thanks to the angle, Duan Hengye almost turned his back to the staff. But despite this, he still vaguely felt some nervous and curious eyes cast from behind him.
If he had the ability to read minds, Duan Hengye would definitely be able to hear them. At this time, the voices of the dozens of staff members in the office were strangely unanimous—no way
… It’s not really Duan Hengye, is it
To be able to enter the military department to maintain the system, the staff present except for the gate here, go to any place casually is the existence of the industry leader. They have enough confidence in their profession and know the development progress of the entire interstellar industry.
Contacting Duan Hengye's behavior just now, in fact, after a little calm down, you can think of it: Looking at the entire interstellar space, it seems that only Duan Heng can sneak into the internal system of the Imperial Army without knowing it, and then patch the loopholes for them. night...
At this moment, Meng Jinhuai, who had not spoken for a while, suddenly spoke up. He glanced at the staff in front of him, and then said, "I know who it is, so don't be afraid."
Well, if I was still guessing before, Meng Jinhuai's last sentence "don't be afraid" almost didn't say Duan Hengye's name directly. If you can ask the Marshal to say this, then the mysterious person who invaded the system is definitely on the side of the military and is very familiar with Meng Jinhuai.
So besides Duan Hengye, who else could it be
The Celebration of Interstellar Day is still going on. After this busy event is over, the staff on duty just now also took shifts with their colleagues in advance. After greeting everyone and thanking all the staff, Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai finally walked out of the duty room.
When he was going out, Yu Xinlan didn't know why he planned to follow Duan Hengye and the others. But fortunately, Ye Pu quickly pulled him back, "Your sense of presence should be reduced a little..." he whispered to his heart. Seeing the slightly silent backs of Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai in front, Yu Xinlan finally understood Ye Pu's words in an instant, and then turned his body abruptly one hundred and eighty degrees.
"...Okay." Admiral Yu nodded stiffly.
Of course, the Marshal's Mansion also has its own means of transportation, but Meng Jinhuai did not choose to take it, but walked to the rear residential area with Duan Hengye.
Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai just walked in the military's work area like this. Although it was a holiday, it was not only the technical department just now, but also a large number of staff members from other departments to work on duty. Most of these duty rooms did not close the doors of the offices, but after seeing Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai passing by, everyone stood up and greeted them.
Somehow, even though there was a system attack just now, Meng Jinhuai's mood didn't seem to be affected at all. Even after seeing someone say hello to him, Meng Jinhuai stopped in a good mood, and then said hello to them.
Although he has always worked in the military, "Master Marshal" is still an unreachable symbol for most of the staff here. But now, on the night of Interstellar Day, they not only saw Meng Jinhuai and Duan Hengye with their own eyes, but even received each other's blessings about the festival face to face.
It can be seen that after seeing Meng Jinhuai, the state of these staff members was visibly excited.
Although Duan Hengye had always been worried about the military system, after seeing everyone's eyes, he couldn't help but be surprised once again by Meng Jinhuai's prestige in the Yetian Empire.
Although the military headquarters was very large, Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai still passed through the duty area and arrived at the residence of the Marshal's Mansion after a while. The surroundings became silent again, and the aerial celebration of the Interstellar Sun outside the window continued. Duan Hengye could even hear faint cheers from a distance.
Slowly, Duan Hengye couldn't help slowing down. After finding that he had fallen, Meng Jinhuai also stopped, the Marshal turned around, he looked at Duan Hengye and asked, "What's wrong? What are you thinking about."
After hearing Meng Jinhuai's question, Duan Hengye didn't know what to say for a while... What was he thinking, could Meng Jinhuai not know? However, although he felt that Meng Jinhuai was knowingly asking, Duan Hengye still returned seriously: "Sorry... about the invasion of the military's intranet."
Seeing that Meng Jinhuai did not respond, Duan Hengye continued: "Actually, I could have removed the traces of modifying the system at the time, but I chose to leave the traces on purpose..." He directly admitted this. After all, it can be seen from Meng Jinhuai's operation on the system just now that the marshal may be a little slower to trim the system, but his knowledge is not lacking at all.
If it was placed before today, Duan Hengye might still be able to put on a suit. However, during the maintenance work ten minutes ago, Duan Hengye had already exposed his technical level to everyone.
Duan Hengye simply gave Meng Jinhuai a confession and leniency.
After hearing Duan Hengye's words, Meng Jinhuai walked towards him, and then slowly put his hand on Duan Hengye's neck. This skin is really sensitive. Feeling bad, when Meng Jinhuai put his hand on it, Duan Hengye couldn't help shaking.
"Why did you say 'sorry' again." Meng Jinhuai said indifferently, Duan Hengye couldn't tell the emotion from his words for a while.
Involuntarily, Duan Hengye slowly moved his gaze upward. Then he saw that Meng Jinhuai was staring at him very seriously and said, "You didn't have to believe me at that time. But now and in the future, you must believe me."
"Okay, don't think about it any more." After speaking, Meng Jinhuai slowly moved his hand from Duan Hengye's neck to his shoulder, and then gently brought it to Duan Hengye's ear. He whispered to him: "Happy Interstellar Day."
…
Not far from the window, a bunch of fireworks suddenly bloomed in the center of the dark night sky. At the same time, Duan Hengye's face instantly turned red. Because of the distance, just as Meng Jinhuai spoke, a numbness spread through Duan Hengye's ears.
Meng Jinhuai's voice was low and pleasant.
After Meng Jinhuai finished speaking and left, Duan Hengye lowered his head subconsciously, and then moved his gaze to the carpet on the side.
Immediately afterwards, Duan Hengye heard Meng Jinhuai's chuckle coming from his side. The sound was like a summer night breeze, sweeping past his ears. It seems that nothing is taken away, and it seems that everything is taken away...
Holidays in the military are much shorter than elsewhere in the interstellar space. After the Celebration of Interstellar Day ended, all the staff members of the military who had been on vacation finally returned to Nanzhuxing, and then the entire planet entered a normal working state again.
There are many stakeholders involved in the incident at Anluo University, and the evidence of the incident has not yet been collected. So what happened on the night of Interstellar Day is still kept secret. But in addition to the system being attacked, another thing happened that night—someone broke into the military system and helped patch the loophole.
There were too many staff present that night, and because of the lack of a non-disclosure agreement for the latter incident, and because of the full gossip nature. Later, someone accidentally spread it out. It was passed on from ten to ten, and just a few days later, the news finally appeared on the star network.
The place where the reply appeared was an interstellar star-net system science forum with general traffic. Just when people were discussing in a post, whether the top systems masters in the interstellar are currently working at the upper levels of various countries, or when they are in private institutions. Suddenly a person ran out and began to suggest Duan Hengye mysteriously.
Before him, no one mentioned Duan Hengye's name in this post.
After all, everyone knows that although the mecha system is very similar to the star network system, it is not exactly the same. No one would question Duan Hengye's achievements in this field, but suddenly mentioning this name outside of his profession seemed to be a bit of a layman.
So the following replies began to refute the floor owner. As the building got higher and higher, the floor owner finally couldn't help but say: "Actually, I really didn't talk nonsense. I have a friend who works in the military. What he told me was that Professor Duan had broken into the internal system of the military by himself before, and then helped to patch the loopholes in several systems."
After replying, the landlord received hundreds of question mark responses in less than a minute. After realizing that there were so many people peeping at the screen, and his words might be recorded, the layer owner decisively deleted and restored the account.
But despite this, the screenshot of the reply just now spread all over the Star Network in just a few minutes.
At this time, everyone's subtitles were probably mocking him for spreading rumors without common sense. By the way, Aite, who was not afraid of big things, jokingly took a look at Nan Zhuxing and asked them to come over to refute the rumors. I have to say that after the floor owner was besieged by the people in the building on the grounds of "no systematic knowledge", the reaction became fierce. To most people, it's kind of funny. So as the screenshots spread more and more widely, more and more people followed the trend and called Nan Zhuxing to refute the rumor.
However, something unexpected happened. A few hours later, Nan Zhuxing actually replied to this message.
This official account did not refute the rumor, but... replied "the situation is true".
The person who was waiting to see that the rumor maker was beaten in the face was stunned after receiving the message and clicking on it. Wait... What did Nan Zhuxing's official account just say? Obviously only a simple four-word reply, but at this moment, countless people have read it over and over a hundred times, and finally dared to confirm that he didn't see it, and Nan Zhuxing's reply was really "the situation is true. "These four words.
In other words, Duan Hengye really broke into the internal system of the military by himself, and then fixed the background loophole
…
For Star Network, this may be an explosive big news. But for the top military officials and Duan Hengye at this time, there were more important things to do.
After the last royal banquet, Duan Hengye once asked the Empress a question on the spot—who was the third person in the laboratory when the experiment happened unexpectedly. But at that time, the queen did not directly answer Duan Hengye's question, but changed her demeanor and then detoured the topic.
Later, although the military department cooperated to investigate this matter, Duan Hengye never thought that he would know the answer to that question so early.
In the morning of Nan Zhuxing, Duan Hengye, who was still on vacation, continued to work in the study room of the Marshal's Mansion. At this moment, the heavy log-colored door of the study was suddenly pushed open from the outside. Because he has been carefully observing the data on the optical brain, and the study has been isolated from the outside world, Duan Hengye finally raised his head at this time, and then saw the person standing at the door.
It turned out to be Meng Jinhuai who was supposed to be working.
At this time, Meng Jinhuai was wearing the military's black uniform. He stood at the door with a serious expression that Duan Hengye rarely saw.
After seeing Duan Hengye looking at him, Meng Jinhuai finally walked in.
"Ah Heng." Meng Jinhuai suddenly called Duan Hengye for no reason. Although Meng Jinhuai didn't say anything unnecessary, Duan Hengye was already nervous. "What's wrong?" After seeing Meng Jinhuai's expression at this time, Duan Hengye couldn't help but stretch out his hand to turn off the light brain in front of him.
Meng Jinhuai sat on the chair opposite the desk. He didn't speak, but put his brain on the table. At this time, Meng Jinhuai finally took a deep breath, and then said to Duan Hengye, "Do you remember what you told me last time on the starship on the return journey from Capital Star?"
The moment he heard Meng Jinhuai's words, Duan Hengye's eyes widened involuntarily, and he immediately reacted to what Meng Jinhuai was going to say today. "Are you talking about my parents, the experimental accident back then?" Duan Hengye didn't know, and his tone also rose.
"Yeah." Meng Jinhuai nodded, and he continued, "As for the third person in the laboratory, the answer is now available."
In the incident reports that have been released to the public, the only people who died in that accident were Duan Hengye's parents. However, in the incident report inside the royal family, there are clearly three autopsy reports. Intuition told Duan Hengye that the identity of the third person who was erased was definitely strange.
After hearing Meng Jinhuai's words, Duan Hengye couldn't help but get more nervous. He could feel that he was now one step closer to the truth.
"Who is that person...?" Even Duan Hengye didn't realize it, the tone of voice he could not help was a little trembling.
Meng Jinhuai did not answer Duan Hengye's question directly, but opened his mind. Then, a static photo appeared in front of Duan Hengye. The man in the picture looked very ordinary, and could even be said to be a "popular face". Perhaps the most eye-catching thing on his body was a navy blue military uniform belonging to the Ye Tian Empire's military headquarters.
Although the system is slightly different from now, but with a few details, Duan Hengye recognized the dress at a glance.
"This is?" Although he already had the answer in his heart, Duan Hengye couldn't help but raised his head and glanced at Meng Jinhuai, as if seeking his affirmation. After noticing Duan Hengye's eyes, Meng Jinhuai nodded slowly, then turned off the photo and said, "This is a former major general of the Imperial Army."
After hearing Meng Jinhuai's answer, Duan Hengye couldn't help but feel empty. He never thought about it before that this matter would be related to the military department of the empire. In this way, the experimental accident many years ago was indeed more mysterious than people knew and imagined.
Meng Jinhuai couldn't help frowning, then he shook his head gently again and looked into Duan Hengye's eyes and said, "Before receiving the investigation results, the status of this person in the military personnel information column has always been the same. is 'missing'."
A "missing" military major general actually died in that experimental accident
It was obviously early in the morning, but after hearing Meng Jinhuai's words, Duan Hengye couldn't help but feel a cold wind blowing from behind him.
But before Meng Jinhuai's words were finished, he paused and said, "He was a close subordinate of my parents during his lifetime." Perhaps because he was afraid that Duan Hengye would not understand what he meant, Meng Jinhuai added after saying this. : "It's like Dongfang Hewen and Yu Xinlan."
Hearing Meng Jinhuai's words, Duan Hengye's thinking became confused again. After a long while, he finally asked: "So, did this major general have any other contact with my parents before he died?"
Hearing this, Meng Jinhuai shook his head and said as he recalled: "No. In fact, I have always wondered about one thing, that is, ten or twenty years ago, there was really little connection between the military department and the research institute. It's a bit strange. It stands to reason that these two organizations need to maintain close cooperation for a long time, but at that time, Nan Zhuxing and the Mecha Research Institute had almost no special cooperation except for the necessary news. "
But now, they discovered that Meng Jinhuai's "missing" close subordinates had already died in the experimental accident.
The atmosphere in the study was suddenly quiet and a little strange.
After an unknown period of time, Meng Jinhuai suddenly opened his brain again. Duan Hengye couldn't help but cast his doubtful eyes on him. Meng Jinhuai looked at his contacts and quickly said to Duan Hengye, "Do you remember the reporter you met at Feixing last time?"
Duan Hengye nodded involuntarily, "...you mean?"
"That's right." Meng Jinhuai shifted his gaze from his light brain to Duan Hengye's face, and then said to him, "That reporter is a mutual old friend of our parents. And before they achieved outstanding results in Interstellar, An old acquaintance."
