Before the event and the official start, the viewing platform where Duan Hengye and others were located was still surrounded by the huge semi-circular protective cover. This protective cover is made of one-sided transparent material, through which Duan Hengye and others could see the situation under the stage, but the high-definition cameras of the reporters could not capture the picture inside. The protective cover will automatically open after the activity starts for a while.
In fact, before they sat down on the viewing platform, the live broadcast of many channels had already started. When I saw the levitator approaching, the live broadcast channel and major forums were lively for a while. However, after seeing that the protective cover did not mean to open in advance, there was peace again.
Although I have seen the test flight pictures on the news, and the detailed data and model of the mecha "Nanzhu" on Xingwang, this still can't stop everyone's enthusiasm. After discovering that they couldn't see the picture on the viewing platform, the audience who had opened the Star Network in advance to watch the live broadcast finally moved the topic back to the mecha itself.
In fact, the day the delivery ceremony was held was still a working day in Interstellar. However, due to the special event, the Mecha Department of Anluo University specially gave all the students a half-day vacation and asked them to watch the ceremony. Therefore, just before the event and start, many Duan Hengye students also participated in the discussion on Xingwang. They not only posted on the forum, but also interacted with mecha fans on their personal social accounts.
There are only a few minutes left until the official start of the delivery ceremony, and among those social accounts that have been authenticated by real names, in addition to the analysis and understanding of the mecha, Duan Hengye's students also shared a lot of short stories about him. —Although it was just some ordinary clips in the class, the screenshots were instantly spread throughout the entire Star Network accompanied by screams.
…
Here Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai were still chatting with Elder Yan, when Duan Hengye's assistant Ye Pu finally came over and reminded, "Master Marshal, Professor Duan, the event will start in one minute. "
After hearing Ye Pu's words, Meng Jinhuai nodded and smiled and gestured to Old Yan. Their conversation ended here, and after Ye Pu left, the loudspeaker on the viewing platform also began to remind: "Dear guests, this mecha delivery ceremony is about to start, after the voice prompt ends, the viewing platform protective cover will open."
Today's ceremony is of great significance. Almost all the upper floors of the entire Yetian Empire have reached the scene, so the area of the viewing platform is also surprisingly large. In addition to the central area where Duan Hengye and the others were located, in other parts of the auditorium, other guests were also gathering in twos and threes, chatting in a low voice.
So after the beeping sound went off, the guests at the venue began to arrange their clothes, and then sat up straight.
Regardless of whether they know the mecha or not, after sitting on the viewing platform, those guests involuntarily looked at the mecha parking area on the side for the first time - there was a mecha that was about to appear in the interstellar live broadcast for a while. "Southern Zhu". Although it is still in the blind spot of the media, the guests on the viewing platform can see them from a distance.
As the person who designed this mecha, Duan Hengye was probably the person who was least interested in it. After waiting on the viewing platform, Duan Hengye started chatting with Meng Jinhuai and Elder Yan, never looking down. So now, after the protective cover of the covered viewing platform was opened, Duan Hengye noticed how high his current position was...
In the interstellar era, people have been accustomed to living in the high sky since birth, and naturally lost their fear of heights. But Duan Hengye was different. Although he didn't have any fear of heights, he was still an earthling at heart.
Although he had gradually become accustomed to the height of the hover car and the starship, Duan Hengye couldn't help but feel nervous after he suddenly found himself sitting on the "edge of a cliff".
Meng Jinhuai, who was sitting next to Duan Hengye, thought he was nervous about the mecha delivery ceremony for a while, so he stretched out his hand again, and then covered the hand that Duan Hengye had been placing on the armrest of the seat. , then turned and gave him a reassuring smile.
The protective cover of the viewing platform slowly opened at this moment.
The media knew the process of the event in advance, so they had already aimed the live footage here before the anti-skid cover was opened. Before the official opening, the original one-sided transparent material first became fully transparent. So Duan Hengye's expression and Meng Jinhuai's actions... were also captured by the camera.
Due to the lack of understanding of the operation process of these interstellar technologies, Duan Hengye would not have thought that his interactions with Meng Jinhuai just now had been faithfully recorded by high-definition cameras.
After seeing Meng Jinhuai smiling at him, Duan Hengye also turned around and nodded lightly at him. Now Duan Hengye finally got used to this height. After seeing that the protective cover in front was slowly rising, Duan Hengye lifted his hand from the chair, then rearranged his clothes and sat up straight.
Involuntarily, Duan Hengye also slowly took a deep breath.
At the beginning, those people who were squatting on the live broadcast were also swiping Xingwang at the same time. At this time, they had seen a lot of private stories about the professor from Duan Hengye's students. And after knowing those stories, Duan Hengye's image was no longer so high in their hearts.
Therefore, when the camera captured Duan Hengye's "nervous" performance, the forum was instantly covered with a bunch of "cuteness".
Speaking of which, whether it was in the last life or now, it seems that since leaving childhood, no one has used the word "cute" to describe Duan Hengye... But at this time, everyone felt that these two words were placed in the Professor Duan, who has always been aloof, is very suitable for him.
The shield slowly rose. Since the viewing platform was facing an empty mecha landing pad, the wind was pouring in from the landing pad when the protective cover was raised to reveal the slit. This wind from the wilderness has nothing to do with the word "gentleness", and even just touching the face will give people the illusion of being cut by a knife.
Nanzhuxing is like spring all year round. Although there will be no extreme weather on this planet, it also means that the wind will not be too warm. So even though he was already prepared, Duan Hengye couldn't help but let out a soft hissing sound after the protective cover was opened.
At this time, Duan Hengye had noticed that the protective cover was open, so he became very careful. Except for Meng Jinhuai, who was sitting beside Duan Hengye, no one noticed his movements and voices. Therefore, the magical thing happened again under the live broadcast. Before the event started, Meng Jinhuai turned around and said almost to the assistant standing behind him. Then he nodded to Convenience and quickly left.
What is Meng Jinhuai's assistant going to do
Not only the audience watching the live broadcast couldn't understand it, but even Duan Hengye, who was sitting beside Meng Jinhuai, couldn't help but cast a suspicious look in the direction the other party was leaving.
It didn't take long—even before the protective cover on the viewing platform was fully opened, Meng Jinhuai's assistant returned to the scene. Because the activity was about to start at this time, everyone kept quiet and sat in their original positions, and his movements were particularly obvious in comparison.
Not only the audience watching the live broadcast was waiting to see what Meng Jinhuai's assistant was doing, but the rest of the guests sitting on the viewing platform, and even Duan Hengye was silently watching the assistant. Duan Hengye saw that, different from when he left, there was an extra black object in the hand of the assistant who came back. When he walks in, look at it again, it seems to be a piece of clothing.
What is he going to do
Before Duan Hengye could come up with an answer, he saw Meng Jinhuai who was sitting next to him suddenly stand up, and then took the clothes from an assistant. This is a slightly heavy cloak, and from the epaulettes above it can be seen that the owner of this dress is Meng Jinhuai.
After shaking off the cloak, Meng Jinhuai put it over Duan Hengye very naturally, and then sat back in his seat.
... Meng Jinhuai's movements are very smooth, as if he had done it countless times before.
After feeling the cloak that Meng Jinhuai was putting on his shoulders, Duan Hengye involuntarily reached out and touched it lightly, and then he praised the marshal's excellent observation ability...
The clothes that the military prepared for Duan Hengye today are in line with the outdoor temperature. In fact, apart from Duan Hengye, no one at the scene would feel how cold the wind was at this time. Due to the control of drugs all the year round, Duan Hengye's physical fitness was slightly worse than others, so he couldn't help but feel unwell when the wind blew.
Different from Duan Hengye, who paid all his attention to Meng Jinhuai's observation ability, after seeing this picture, people around him couldn't help showing envious expressions... Admiral Yu Xinlan was sitting on the other side of Duan Hengye.
Due to the fact that the seat was close to Duan Hengye, Admiral Yu's very complicated expression was faithfully recorded by the live broadcast camera, and then it was intercepted by netizens, which spread across most of the stars in a short period of time.
I have to say that Yu Xinlan's expression can really reflect the mood of some people at this time.
The protective cover on the viewing platform was officially opened at this time, and Meng Jinhuai, who was helping Duan Hengye to dress with a gentle face just now, switched back to the serious mode. After seeing Meng Jinhuai's expression, the live channel finally quieted down. Everyone began to hold their breath, looking forward to the ceremony for a while.
Duan Hengye's emotions always came with a little dullness. It was different from the nervousness that was misunderstood just now. After seeing the sky that was not blocked by the protective shield in front of him, and the media not far away, Duan Hengye's heartbeat finally stopped. Start to accelerate little by little.
Although the mecha "Nan Zhu" has undergone numerous experiments, Duan Hengye is even more confident in his work. But at this time, he still had some nervousness about going to the exam room. However, Duan Hengye's nervousness was not very strong so far, so he didn't show it this time. He just quietly surrendered his gaze to the direction of the mecha entering the arena for a while.
Before the official appearance of the new mecha Nanzhu, two black medium-sized mechas flew over from the sky not far away. After seeing them, Duan Hengye's calm expression just now finally showed a bit of "surprise" in his eyes.
Because Duan Hengye has been very busy recently, he did not read the detailed activity list sent to him by the military. Duan Hengye's understanding of all the projects today came from Meng Jinhuai's introduction when he went out in the morning. Also due to the lack of time, Meng Jinhuai's introduction was a bit too brief. So before Duan Hengye saw those mechas, he only knew that there would be an old-fashioned mecha show at the beginning, but he didn't know what the so-called "old-fashioned mecha" was.
At this time, the mecha that appeared directly above the dock was named "Xingchen". Although the style was very old, no mecha researcher would be unfamiliar with it.
This is the first generation of interstellar mecha, because the age of birth is too far away from the present, even the research institute does not have its collection. Duan Hengye did not expect that the imperial army still kept two such "stars".
In fact, the atmosphere in the first half of the delivery ceremony was not very serious. In addition to some members of the military sitting on the viewing platform, there are more celebrities from all walks of life in the Yetian Empire. Although the empire has not been very peaceful in recent years, the daily life of them at the top has nothing to do with "war" and "mecha".
Although only an old-fashioned mecha appeared in the sky at this time, it was because of the close contact with it. After "Xingchen" appeared above his head, Duan Hengye still heard a lot of exclamations in his ears. From the corner of his vision, he saw that many people took out their optical brains at this time, and then switched to the shooting mode and shot them into the sky.
Although Meng Jinhuai's overall temperament was a lot colder under the working state, after the appearance of the mecha "Xingchen", the marshal still gently leaned towards Duan Hengye, and then said: "Now a mecha of the same age as 'Xingchen' , almost all of them have been parked on the planet called the 'Mecha Graveyard'. Now the two in the air are the only old-fashioned mechas that have been preserved in the Empire and can be driven normally."
At this time, the two mechas had already flown to a high place, Meng Jinhuai looked up at them, and his eyes could not help but squinted slightly. As a mecha designer, Duan Hengye certainly knew how difficult it was to preserve two such "old" mechas. So while listening to Meng Jinhuai's words, he couldn't help but look up at the sky, and then carefully observed their postures in the sky.
After seeing Duan Hengye's extremely interested look, Meng Jinhuai couldn't help but smile, and then said, "The mecha has been parked at Nanzhuxing these days. If you are interested, you can go and see it anytime."
Although the interstellar live broadcast footage is very high-definition, the distance is too far, and Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai did not carry recording devices. Therefore, viewers who are watching the live broadcast can only see that Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai have been chatting on the audience stage at this time, but they can't guess what they are talking about...
The audience was itchy at this time, but fortunately Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai stopped chatting after a while. The two put their eyes back in the air, and then looked at the fast-moving mecha.
After all, "Xingchen" has been born for many years, its function is really too basic now, and the flying attitude is a little awkward. But from Duan Hengye's point of view, this kind of flight performance is even more touching.
Although called a "genius", Duan Hengye has always been very clear that his mastery and understanding of mecha knowledge are slowly achieved on the basis of his predecessors. Duan Hengye would never despise these outdated and outdated mechas, but now his gaze gradually took on some sacred meaning.
For some reason, Duan Hengye thought of the document he was currently cracking, and the method recorded in the mecha to carry the new light energy weapon...
After all, "Xingchen" was already old, and the flight performance they performed was very simple, and they left the tarmac in no time. Immediately afterwards, the mechas of all dynasties who had served in the Yetian Empire appeared in the sky. Different from the oldest and rarest "stars", these were all seen by Duan Hengye.
Behind Duan Hengye and the others, the guests were still excitedly photographing the busy scene in the sky. After watching it for a while, Duan Hengye's thinking slowly shifted from the mecha to the most recent job.
Duan Hengye's work has been very busy these days, but the design of the new mecha is at the most difficult and most important juncture. And the cracking of files is no longer as smooth as it was at the beginning, but has entered a bottleneck period. Speaking of which, if it weren't for the fact that today's event was really important, if Duan Hengye, the designer, did not participate, it would have caused bad speculation in the interstellar space, and Duan Hengye probably would not have given up the work of the research institute and went to Nanzhuxing to participate. active.
Therefore, although Duan Hengye was sitting at the scene now and was constantly being blown by the cold wind, his attention still flew to his own work.
Duan Hengye's eyes fell from the sky, and then he frowned slightly and fell into thought. Against the backdrop of a group of people with their heads raised, Duan Hengye's movements were particularly obvious, and of course Meng Jinhuai who was sitting beside him also saw his movements. However, after seeing Duan Hengye's apparent absence, the Marshal did not say anything, instead he subconsciously showed a worried look.
Although Meng Jinhuai has been very busy recently, he is also paying attention to Duan Hengye's work.
In the past year, after Duan Hengye's series of adjustments, the Yetian Empire Mecha Research Institute has finally gotten out of a state of loose sand. But objectively speaking, there is still a long way to go before we can truly design mechas in a cooperative way, let alone top-level mechas.
Although he is reluctant to admit it, the knowledge gap of the Mecha Research Institute exists objectively. Unlike the last time when mass-produced mechas were designed, even in the top research institute of the empire, people with enough strength to participate in this plan can be counted on one hand.
So in the recent period, Duan Hengye is still designing mechas independently. He only occasionally meets with Su Mingge and several other team leaders to discuss issues.
In addition to the design of the new mecha, Meng Jinhuai, who was also involved in the cracking of the file, knew the huge difficulties faced by this work and how much pressure Duan Hengye was under recently. This time, Duan Hengye was asked to return to Nanzhuxing to participate in the handover ceremony. Yu Gong was because of his identity as the mecha designer, Yu Zi... Meng Jinhuai also wanted to ask Duan Hengye to take a good rest.
Except for Duan Hengye and the group of people in the military who were already used to seeing mechas flying around, everyone stared at the sky carefully and made a few excited exclamations from time to time. Under such an atmosphere, even the live broadcast audience stopped paying attention to Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai, and instead watched the various mechas in the live broadcast seriously.
More than 20 minutes passed, and when Professor Duan was in a state of continuous trance, Meng Jinhuai, who was sitting beside him, finally bumped Duan Hengye's arm lightly, and then turned his head and whispered to him: " The new mecha is coming soon."
After hearing Meng Jinhuai's words, Duan Hengye finally raised his head slowly. Before coming to the scene, Meng Jinhuai reminded Duan Hengye that before the official appearance of the new mecha, Duan Hengye, the representative of the research institute and the mecha designer, would complete a part of the ceremony together with Meng Jinhuai. After thinking of this, Duan Hengye's thoughts that had just flown far away finally returned to the scene again.
At this time, the previous generation of mecha performances was about to end, and the audience's eyes gradually returned to the viewing platform. Meng Jinhuai's reminder was really timely. By the time everyone looked here, Duan Hengye had already adjusted his state.
The vast number of viewers who are watching the live broadcast also have today's process list. After seeing the footage of each live broadcast channel moving back to the viewing platform, everyone will understand that the event is about to go to the last item.
At this time, the assistant Ye Pu, who had been standing behind Duan Hengye, came over and handed a flat gray metal box into Duan Hengye's hands. This box contains the opening medal of Mecha Nanzhu. Although the box is not large, you can still feel the heavy weight in your hand.
Although the new mecha has been born for a long time, and after such a long period of various experiments and test flights, Duan Hengye believes that he is no longer as excited as he was at the beginning. However, when Duan Hengye had returned to his calmness after he got this medal in his hands, his mood could not help but surge.
The completion of the design of the mecha is completely different from the meaning of the official service. When this medal and the mecha represented behind it are officially delivered to the military, it will mark that Duan Hengye's own work has finally entered the stage of history and will begin to affect the future of Interstellar.
Although Duan Hengye still didn't know the history of Interstellar, but being able to participate in the process of the world's operation is definitely something that will make people's hearts rush to think about it.
The scene of the ceremony was quiet again, and everyone's eyes were gathered in the middle of the first row of the viewing platform. Under the gaze of hundreds of millions of people in the interstellar space, Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai stood up together.
