Duan Hengye was really not a person who was good at forgetting, although he knew that the accidental experiment would definitely be a very dark memory. As Meng Jinhuai said, completely forgetting that memory is the right choice. But by nature, Duan Hengye not only did not deliberately forget it, but reviewed the memory over and over again in his heart, and repeatedly discovered details that he had not noticed before.
The investigation into the incident in the military department is still continuing, but now that the holiday of the research institute has officially ended, Duan Hengye can no longer stay in Nanzhuxing.
That night, Duan Hengye took the starship back to the research institute. It was already very late for him to set off, but because he had been thinking about things, Duan Hengye on the starship was not at all sleepy.
The black starship slowly sailed out of the sky of Nanzhuxing, and Duan Hengye, who recalled nothing for a long time, finally stood up from his seat. Feeling a little irritable, he walked to the window, and then turned his eyes to the boundless pitch-black space.
At this time, the speed of the starship was very fast, and the scene outside the window was still empty. After a while, large and small planets began to fly past the window. Duan Hengye did not know how many times he had walked the road from Nan Zhuxing to the academy, and he had already remembered which major planets he would pass through.
Putting his hand lightly on the transparent window, Duan Hengye stared at the silent space outside the window. At this time, the starship passed through a medium-sized planetary belt. Although it was far away, the light from the cities on the planet could still be seen. Compared with other places, the planet here does not have psychedelic and beautiful colors, and Duan Hengye did not pay much attention to this place before.
But today, because he wanted to divert his attention, Duan Hengye began to seriously observe this planetary belt. And when he looked at it, he found... Not far away, there was a planet with only sporadic light. Its appearance is very inconspicuous, but it has a special meaning among these prosperous living planets.
The current Duan Hengye was already a qualified interstellar citizen. After seeing the strange planet, he lightly clicked on the window in front of him. A few seconds later, a line of text suddenly appeared in the window that was originally empty.
Duan Hengye didn't care about those words, he probably clicked on the position of the strange planet on the window. Then a light green light appeared on the window. The light was relatively scattered at first, but it condensed into a bunch after a few seconds, and then lightly clicked on the light not far away that Duan Hengye had just tapped. scanned the planet.
This is the planet identification and introduction function that comes with the starship. After discovering it, Duan Hengye once liked to click on planets on the road and read relevant introductions. Also because of this function, Duan Hengye finally understood a little bit of interstellar geography.
After the scan was over, a light screen rose up beside Duan Hengye. Seeing this, Duan Hengye looked away from the window, and then cast a light screen.
"Planet: Chenglixing
Attribution: Marshal of the Yetian Empire belongs to the star
Planet Nature: Special"
Now the starship has just left Nanzhuxing not long ago, so all the planets around are all Marshal stars. After seeing the introduction in the first two lines, Duan Hengye didn't feel much. It's just... The "planet nature" behind it attracted all Duan Hengye's attention.
After discovering this function, Duan Hengye clicked on many planets, large and small, and then checked its information. In Duan Hengye's impression, there were not many planets marked as "special". Even Nanzhuxing, where the Marshal's Mansion is located, is abbreviated as "habitable planet" in the column of the nature of the planet. If he remembered correctly, the only "special planet" he had ever seen was the location of the Yetian Empire Mecha Research Institute, and the mecha flying star. Also related to mecha
If Duan Hengye was still 60% curious just now, then after seeing the word "special" now, his curiosity has been raised to 100%. Duan Hengye did not hesitate, he clicked the name of the planet again, and then opened the specific information column.
... Duan Hengye originally thought that this would be a mecha-related planet. Before the specific information was opened, he was still guessing in his heart whether this might be an abandoned experimental planet. But the second after the words appeared, Duan Hengye was completely stunned.
In fact, this planet named Chenglixing has nothing to do with mechas.
This is a planet, and it is also a very special "cemetery". Chenglixing was originally a very common living planet, but due to its poor location and lack of resources, with the development of other planets around it, there are fewer and fewer residents here.
This is a very common phenomenon of immigration in interstellar space, and it can be seen from the data that there were only 2 billion residents of this planet as early as hundreds of years ago. The number of two billion is really too small for Interstellar. It is as inconspicuous as the Chengli star itself.
But it was on such an inconspicuous planet that an extremely tragic war that was recorded in the history of the empire broke out. That war almost destroyed the entire Chengli star, and after the war, the planet was no longer suitable for human habitation. The Empire moved most of the population away, and the planet that was left behind became a huge cemetery suspended in the universe.
Later is not just the army who died and the war a hundred years ago. People, some mechas that were destroyed in the war were also sent to the Star of Succession. However, more of it is the tomb of the warriors who died in the interstellar.
After seeing the number in the detailed information, Duan Hengye's scalp even felt numb. He has always been aware of the cruelty and danger of war in the interstellar era, but after seeing the number of these tombs, Duan Hengye finally had a more intuitive understanding of this matter.
He slowly reached out and turned off the light screen. After a while, the cab of the starship received a special order - Duan Hengye requested that the starship temporarily adjust the channel, go to the vicinity of Chengli Star, and circle around.
Not long after receiving Duan Hengye's news, the assistant Ye Pu, who had been staying elsewhere, came over. He didn't understand why Duan Hengye suddenly went to Chenglixing, "Professor Duan, do you have any other requests? Do you need to arrange a landing?"
As Duan Hengye's personal assistant, in addition to the need to pay attention to his words, deeds and special developments in the early stage, Ye Pu always felt that his work was easy and somewhat abnormal. Duan Hengye's daily life is very simple and his range of activities is very small. As a personal assistant, he is idle most of the day.
Although Chenglixing has a special nature, it is difficult for ordinary people to approach it without special application. But Duan Hengye was the director of Yetian Empire Mecha Research Institute after all, so it was a very simple matter for him to go to Chenglixing. Hearing Ye Pu's words suddenly, Duan Hengye was stunned for a moment, "Huh?" He didn't expect that Ye Pu would suddenly mention the matter of arranging the landing.
Upon seeing this, the assistant said, "That's right, Professor Duan. Because Chengli Star has been half-abandoned for many years, some of the above infrastructure have long been unable to keep up. Now the entire Chengli Star has only individual staff members permanently stationed. , the number of people is really small, if you go, we have to contact us in advance."
The top-level starship that Duan Hengye is currently riding on is of excellent quality, and it stands to reason that it can land in any state. It’s just that the current Chengli Star is really too desolate. If Duan Hengye passed by temporarily, he would probably see an endless wasteland and a city that had been abandoned for many years.
Ye Pu didn't know what Duan Hengye was going to do there, but he thought that in any case, he would find some staff on the planet to receive him.
After hearing Ye Pu's words, Duan Hengye hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, we won't land." At this time, the starship had changed its course and began to fly in the direction of Chengli Star. Duan Hengye said, "I'll just take a closer look."
"Okay." Ye Pu did not leave after speaking. He stood beside Duan Hengye and began to introduce the planet to the other party. Different from the data listed in the information column, Ye Pu tells more like a "story". With the assistant's narration, the huge starship finally flew over the Chengli star.
The current location of the starship is the night hemisphere of Chenglixing. Because there is almost no human habitation on it, this planet is completely dark. Slowly the starship lowered its height again, and with the illumination of the lights on the lower part of the starship, Duan Hengye was finally able to see clearly what was on the Chengli star.
At this time the starship was flying over a huge abandoned city ruins, the city was frozen in a hundred years ago. As a planet with an underdeveloped economy in the early days, the buildings in Chengli Star were generally not high, and due to the fact that it had been abandoned for a long time, everything here was inexplicably named Duan Hengye, which gave rise to a sense of familiarity.
It feels a bit earthy, but such a highly technological architectural style and desolation level are rare on earth.
Ye Fu, who was also standing by the window, was different. Although he knew the history of this planet very well, Ye Fu had never been to Chengli Star before. As the starship gradually approached, Ye Pu did not know when to stop his narration, and then he couldn't help but open his eyes wide to look at the ground.
The starship finally flew over the city, and then slowly came to the planet's day hemisphere. At this time, they could finally clearly see that in the wasteland under their feet, there were mechas standing one after another.
"This is..." Although he knew that Chenglixing was also a "mecha cemetery", Ye Pu couldn't help muttering after seeing the scene under his feet.
Although Duan Hengye didn't know much about the history here, as a mecha researcher, he knew every mecha below. Most of the mechas that can be sent to Chenglixing are those mechas that are so badly damaged that they can no longer be repaired. However, even if there are only a few frames left, Duan Hengye can still accurately say its model and service year.
Duan Hengye seldom said so much, but Ye Pu could feel it. Although Professor Duan said a lot, his mood was getting lower and lower. The assistant opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say. I don't know how long it took, Duan Hengye finally left the window. He turned to his assistant and said, "Okay. Let's go back to the research institute." After hearing Duan Hengye's words, Ye Pu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Duan Hengye nodded his head, and then wanted to turn on his optical brain to send a return notification.
But at this moment, Ye Pu heard Duan Hengye turn around and face the scene outside the window and sighed, and then said to himself: "Technology and mecha, will it bring peace or destruction to the interstellar space? ?"
Ye Pu heard Duan Hengye's words, but he also understood that this sentence was not Duan Hengye asking him, but asking himself. As the dean of the Mecha Research Institute, although Duan Hengye doesn't have to face the war head-on, perhaps he thinks more about the war than anyone else on the planet.
…
After so many days have passed, the test flight of the mecha "Nanzhu" has finally officially ended. From the initial single-person test flight to the later team test flight, Nanzhu's performance has been good, and all the values have reached the mass production standards.
After all, the situation in the empire is not peaceful, so just after the last test flight mission ended, the mass production plan for the mecha was finally put on the agenda.
It was also at this time that Duan Hengye realized that the real trouble seemed to have finally come...
At 10:30 in the morning, Su Mingge, the deputy director of the Mecha Research Institute, knocked on the door with his light brain and walked into Duan Hengye's office.
"President Duan, this is the information of all the institutions that produce the outer heat insulation layer of the mecha, can you take a look?" Su Mingge asked after entering the door, opening his light brain.
As soon as his voice fell, Duan Hengye's eyes instantly showed a bunch of dense characters. The amazing thing is that, as a person who doesn't feel bored and bored even watching Xingwang's background programs, Duan Hengye's head began to dizzy when faced with these institutional documents.
After trying to watch it for a while, Duan Hengye turned his eyes away from the light brain. After seeing Duan Hengye's "painful" expression that he couldn't hide, Su Mingge finally couldn't help laughing, and then sat opposite.
"Is it difficult to choose?" Su Mingge asked knowingly.
Duan Hengye tried to take a look again, and then nodded silently.
In fact, in the last life, Duan Hengye faced a similar scene. As a family of ancient martial arts, the Duan family did not choose to completely hide from the world after arriving in modern times. On the basis of continuing to inherit ancient martial arts, they also have many commercial industries. As the youngest son of the family, although Duan Hengye did not have to inherit the family business, it was not that the elders in the family had not tried to let him get in touch with these jobs.
But the magic is, as a person who can read those boring experimental data with relish all day long. Facing the work in the shopping mall, Duan Hengye always grew up involuntarily.
He didn't expect that now that he has obviously changed to another world, and he has become the dean of the research institute, why should he still have to look at these things.
Although he couldn't tell, in terms of age alone, Su Mingge was actually much older than Duan Hengye. Due to being too strong in the professional field and because of his daily facial paralysis, Su Mingge almost never remembered that Duan Hengye was actually still a "child".
But now, after seeing the other party's obviously tangled and distressed expression, Su Mingge not only finally realized that Duan Hengye was young and innocent, but also read a little "cute" on him.
Su Mingge couldn't help but feel in a good mood. He pulled the stool closer, and then started to introduce Duan Hengye one by one to all the institutions that applied for the production of the outer heat insulation layer of the mecha.
"... These companies have cooperated with the research institute before, you can take a look at them." Su Mingge said while sketching for Duan Hengye on the light screen. After hearing Su Mingge's words, Duan Hengye also began to open his brain like a student who listened carefully, ticking on it while recording Su Mingge's introduction.
However, Duan Hengye soon discovered that it was really inconvenient to use the virtual keyboard to input manually after highlighting the key points, and it greatly slowed down the speed. So while Su Mingge introduced him, Duan Hengye adjusted the direction of the light screen, and then took out a virtual pen that could record on the light screen.
After all, it came from the Earth era, so Duan Hengye's typing speed was a little slower than writing it by hand.
Just as Duan Hengye began to record carefully, Su Mingge couldn't help but cast his gaze from his light screen to Duan Hengye's men. In this day and age, although writing is still a compulsory course for students, for the sake of convenience, few people can write by hand in their daily work.
Especially someone like Su Mingge who didn't care much about writing, and has not written by himself for many years after graduation... It is no exaggeration to say that his writing has long since degenerated to the level of elementary school students.
Now that Duan Hengye replaced the virtual keyboard for convenience and started writing notes, Su Mingge couldn't help but observe Duan Hengye's words.
Although there are many people in Interstellar who do not write on a daily basis, they practice their own signatures. Su Mingge lowered his head and found that, unlike those who only practiced individual characters, Duan Hengye had a solid grasp of how to write all characters, and he never stopped writing.
The most important thing is that Duan Hengye's words are actually very beautiful!
Looking at it, Su Mingge actually forgot what he was going to do. Seeing that Su Mingge didn't speak for a long time, Duan Hengye finally felt that something was wrong. He raised his head and glanced at Su Mingge in confusion, and then asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing..." Su Mingge shook his head and said, "I didn't expect your writing to look pretty." He sincerely praised. In fact, the discussion about the external thermal insulation layer is almost over now. Su Mingge suddenly looked at the light screen with interest and said to Duan Hengye: "Wait for me, go get something."
Although he didn't understand what Su Mingge was going to do, after the other party finished speaking, Duan Hengye nodded and watched him leave, and continued to study the information that Su Mingge had just summarized on his brain.
A few minutes later, Su Mingge finally returned to Duan Hengye's office. By the way, he was holding two things that Duan Hengye was very familiar with, but hadn't seen in a long time...
paper and pen.
"You are this?" Duan Hengye asked involuntarily.
Su Mingge raised his eyebrows slightly, and then said, "Write me a few words on the paper?"
Just as the two of them were talking, the morning work hours of the institute had come to an end. Duan Hengye glanced at the record on Guang's brain again, and then turned it off. Although he didn't understand what Su Mingge wanted to write by himself, it was really simple for Duan Hengye. He didn't ask any further, he took the paper from Singer Su Ming, and then Duan Hengye raised his head and asked, "Write what?"
Although Su Mingge doesn't write often, his writing tools are top-notch in the universe. After getting it in his hands, Duan Hengye felt that this was a good deal. As a person who has practiced calligraphy for many years, he couldn't help but feel a little itchy.
Seeing Duan Hengye agree so readily, Su Mingge sat back on the chair again. After thinking for a while, he said to Duan Hengye, "Write a poem and I'll read it to you."
"En." Duan Hengye lowered his head.
Su Mingge was reading a very popular and very classic short poem in Interstellar. Even Duan Hengye has heard it many times since he entered this world. When Su Mingge read it, Duan Hengye also wrote it down stroke by stroke.
In just a few minutes, the poem was written. After seeing the words on the paper, Su Mingge showed a look of surprise. He picked up the paper from the table, and then took several pictures in succession with his light brain.
"Have you practiced on purpose?" Su Mingge looked at it for a while, then raised her head and asked.
"Yeah." It's been a long time since he actually wrote with pen and paper. After finishing the verse Su Mingge read, Duan Hengye continued to scribble on other pieces of paper at will. Seeing Duan Hengye's fascination, Su Mingge stopped bothering him. After watching it here for a while, Su Mingge in a good mood posted the photo he just took to his social account—different from Duan Hengye who had never posted any updates, Su Mingge's updates were very diligent, and He also enjoys interacting with fans.
"Su Mingge:
Can anyone guess who wrote this letter? 【picture】"
After posting the status, Su Mingge did not rush to see everyone's reaction, but continued to return to Duan Hengye's side. Because of the laziness of the original author, many of the historical background and cultural common sense of "Dumping the Stars" are the same as those of Earth China. The ancient poems that Duan Hengye hand-written at this time are also compulsory courses for everyone when they are young.
Seeing what Duan Hengye wrote, Su Mingge first praised it, and then asked casually, "That's right, Professor Duan. Did you learn calligraphy in addition to writing with pen when you were young? I think the poems you write now, It would definitely feel better if I changed it to calligraphy."
Born from an ancient martial arts family, how could Duan Hengye not know how to write with a brush? After hearing Su Mingge's words, he nodded casually and said, "I learned it, but I haven't written it for a long time."
Hearing Duan Hengye's words, Su Mingge's eyes suddenly widened, and seeing that he didn't speak for a while, Duan Hengye finally looked up, "What's wrong?"
"Wait for me." Su Mingge smiled at Duan Hengye after hearing this, and then said to him, "I really have a brush in my office."
"..." At this moment, Duan Hengye really wanted to ask Su Mingge if there was a grocery store in his vice-principal's office...
