The appearance of Yu Xinlan's message, for Meng Jinhuai at this time, was simply dozing off and someone immediately came to hand him a pillow.
Just like Duan Hengye who stopped looking at his brain after posting his status a few hours ago, Meng Jinhuai also logged out of the social account after replying to Yu Xinlan this time, and continued with the work that was not completed just now. After receiving the reply from his boss, Yu Xinlan, who was on the other side of the distant star, couldn't help showing a ghostly expression.
After all, she has known Meng Jinhuai for more than ten years. Compared with Duan Hengye, it seems that few people use the word "cold" to describe Meng Jinhuai. So grounded now!
Faced with this reply, even Yu Xinlan couldn't calm down for a long time, let alone other people.
On this day, Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai blew up the entire Star Network with one photo and one sentence respectively. But just when netizens were crazy about it, the parties involved were unusually calm.
…
This period of Heng Ye slept very soundly, and when he woke up, he felt that his brain had become refreshed because he had enough time to rest. It's just... Duan Hengye slowly sat up from the bed, he glanced at the tightly drawn curtains, and the half of the bed that had been vacated, and finally brought the light brain that was hanging quietly on the side.
It's 8:00 a.m. standard time on the planet where the institute is located. It seemed that this time was only a little earlier than Duan Hengye's usual waking time, but when he thought that he fell asleep at noon yesterday, Duan Hengye was still taken aback by the length of his sleep.
The bedroom in the early morning was a little too quiet, and for some reason, after feeling this atmosphere, Duan Hengye felt a little disappointed. It seems that Meng Jinhuai has already left... Although he knows that, as a military marshal who is very busy with his work, it was surprising enough that Meng Jinhuai could come yesterday. But after discovering that Meng Jinhuai had left home early in the morning, Duan Hengye's mood was still depressed.
After reading the time, Duan Hengye put down his brain, stepped on the carpet with bare feet, and then slowly walked towards the wardrobe.
The work has been so busy these days that Duan Hengye couldn't help but get dressed and washed a lot faster. But today, when the string that had been stretched all the time was loosened a little, Duan Hengye showed a lazy air all over his body. He couldn't help but slow down, and after a long time, he walked out of the bedroom slowly.
The house where Duan Hengye lives has a very reasonable structure, and even the corridors have windows to let in sunlight. As soon as he went out, he felt that someone had opened the window at the end of the corridor. A breeze with the scent of green grass blew in from the window. The temperature outside seems to be relatively high today, even in the morning, the wind is warm.
Since he was a child, Duan Hengye has liked the smell of green grass very much, so after going out, he stood there and took a deep breath before walking towards the corner of the corridor.
After walking out of this blind spot, Duan Hengye suddenly discovered that there was another person in the house besides himself. He couldn't help but cast his eyes downstairs, and then saw Meng Jinhuai who was sitting on the sofa watching the news through his brain.
Today, instead of wearing a military uniform as before, he is wearing a black loose T-shirt, which looks very casual.
Meng Jinhuai didn't leave
After seeing the people sitting on the sofa in the living room, Duan Hengye couldn't help but slow down. At this time, Meng Jinhuai moved his gaze from Guangnao News to the stairs at the same time, obviously he also noticed Duan Hengye.
"Good morning." Meng Jinhuai smiled at Duan Hengye and continued.
"...Good morning." Duan Hengye said as he walked downstairs.
In the past year or so, which planet Duan Hengye stayed on every day, and where he went to participate in activities, was planned in advance by the military and sent him the schedule.
Unlike Duan Hengye, who mainly does research work and rarely attends public events or conferences, Meng Jinhuai has meetings almost every day. He often travels to various planets in the interstellar space.
Meng Jinhuai did not come to the research institute on his previous schedule. It is conceivable that his visit this time was not easy, and he definitely pushed a lot of work that had been arranged for a long time. Because of this, Duan Hengye was ready when Meng Jinhuai had left when he woke up just now.
At this time, seeing the other party wearing casual clothes sitting in the living room and greeting him, Duan Hengye couldn't help but cast his doubtful eyes after answering him.
At some point, Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai formed a tacit understanding. Duan Hengye was not a talkative person, and even because of his facial paralysis, his emotions were hidden deeper than others. But despite this, sometimes Duan Hengye didn't need to speak, Meng Jinhuai could guess what he was thinking.
The Marshal stood up from the sofa, and then said to Duan Hengye, "The military department still has some things to do. After breakfast with you, I will be leaving."
It turns out that the reason why Meng Jinhuai never left was just because he had to wait for Duan Hengye to have breakfast together...
It was certainly not the first time that Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai had breakfast together, but perhaps they had been staying in the huge military building before. Now back to this residence full of traces of life, everything seems more warm than before. Although there are still a lot of things to be busy behind, Duan Hengye thought that time would stop at this moment forever.
…
After Meng Jinhuai left the institute that day, Duan Hengye's work continued. Perhaps it was because he had already stepped out of the bottleneck period, or perhaps because of that relaxation, his whole body was no longer as tense as before. This time, although Duan Hengye was not as overloaded as before, he was more efficient.
In the evening a few days later, Duan Heng was sitting in front of the desk in his study, staring nervously at the data on the light brain in front of him. At this time, Duan Hengye was in a state very similar to when the mass-produced mecha was born a while ago. Even if the cracking of the file fails, there is no danger of starting all over again, but Duan Hengye's fingers as he tapped the last few lines of data could not help but tremble.
This time, Duan Hengye was not the only one who completed the cracking work. At the last step, every time he entered a character, Nan Zhuxing and the military subordinate organizations that also participated in the plan would also update synchronously. Although the real-time video was not turned on, just by virtue of Duan Hengye's sudden slowdown, everyone could already feel the nervousness in his heart.
Duan Hengye's movements became extremely slow, and at the end, every time he entered a few characters, he would look back at the previous content. Finally, Duan Hengye stopped his hand and entered the last command to end in the background. Logically speaking, Duan Hengye only had to press the start button at this time, and then wait for the final result. But because of the anxiety in his heart, Duan Hengye's hand did not press down for a long time.
At this moment, Meng Jinhuai's voice suddenly came from the quiet study room - at this time he was receiving file information synchronously from Nanzhuxing.
"A-Heng, don't be nervous." Meng Jinhuai said. Although the video is not turned on, the voice communication between the three parties has not been interrupted. Before Duan Hengye entered the last of these programs, the voice of the staff was often heard on the communication channel, but Meng Jinhuai had not spoken before.
Now suddenly hearing Meng Jinhuai's voice, Duan Hengye was not disturbed, on the contrary he finally nodded lightly - even though Duan Hengye knew that Meng Jinhuai could not see his movements. After checking the data for the last time, Duan Hengye finally pressed the start button.
He let out a long breath, then slowly leaned back toward the leather back of the office chair.
At this time, the progress of the file cracking began to be displayed on the optical brain, and no one on the three sides of the voice communication spoke. Unloading all the weight on the seat, Duan Hengye felt like he was out of his body. After a long delay, he finally reached out and patted his face lightly, then sat up straight again.
At this time, the cracking progress bar of the file has been loaded to 70%.
Because it was close to the light brain, Duan Hengye even heard the obvious breathing from the staff due to nervousness. Different from the tangled mood just before pressing the confirm button, Duan Hengye relaxed at this time. He picked up the coffee cup beside him and sat on the sofa beside him.
Duan Hengye crossed his legs and put it on the sofa, and then took the photo album on the side. Although this printing technology is very old and outdated for Interstellar, there are still families who choose to use this traditional method. Print out the photo and display it at home as a decoration.
The photo album held by Heng Ye at this moment was the one he found in a bookcase at home a while ago. Because Duan Hengye was seldom brought by his parents to attend events in public when he was a child, there was almost no group photo of their family found on Star Online. Including this photo, Duan Hengye had only seen three or four of them.
In the photo, Duan Hengye looks like he is only six or seven years old - when he was taking the photo, his expression was a little serious, his hand was neatly attached to his trousers, and with that too immature face, he looked like he was saying no came out cute. On the other hand, Duan Hengxing is even smaller, perhaps still a "baby". His face was full of ignorance, and he couldn't see the appearance of such a fool at all.
Standing beside Duan Hengye and Duan Hengxing were their parents. Although when Duan Hengye was born, the two parents could no longer be called "young" just by looking at their age, but they still looked like they were in their twenties or thirties. Unlike Duan Hengye, who had a serious face, his parents both smiled and looked at the camera when taking pictures, and their expressions were extremely gentle.
Duan Hengye's hand gently stroked the photo, and then carefully put it aside. When he first entered this world, Duan Hengye never cared about the "parents of the original owner". But now, when he realizes that he may have come into this world as a child. And after receiving the document that had been sealed for more than ten years, Duan Hengye's curiosity about the two of them couldn't help but grow stronger and stronger.
He thought... One day he would remember the story of his childhood, and tell the entire interstellar what kind of story was hidden behind the so-called accident.
Before Duan Hengye walked back to Guangnao again, it was a coincidence that he had just sat down and saw that the cracking progress of the file had reached 99%. Although he was no longer nervous, Duan Hengye could not help but sit up straight, and then locked his gaze firmly on the light screen.
The radio effect of the communication equipment was very good, and Duan Hengye could hear the anxiety of the rest of the staff from the faint noise. However, facing the progress of 99% at this time, Duan Hengye said to the rest of the staff very calmly, "It's okay, just wait patiently."
Although they have never cooperated with Duan Hengye before, in this cracking work, everyone has also seen the "backbone" role played by Professor Duan. After hearing his words, the heartbeat of the staff finally calmed down little by little.
Perhaps it was due to his calm attitude, or perhaps it was Duan Hengye's strong professionalism. No matter where he was, Duan Hengye could always give people a sense of trust.
Compared to just now, the loading speed of this last percent is particularly slow. The interface on the light screen has not changed for a long time, as if it was frozen here. Just when everyone's nervousness rose again, the original dark blue screen suddenly lit up, and the loading progress bar just now disappeared.
The screen went black again.
What's happening here? After seeing the dark appearance of the light screen, even the experienced staff were stunned.
"It's ready," Duan Hengye said at the right time, "The file was successfully cracked."
The moment Duan Hengye finished speaking, the light screen lit up again. Although the system interface is still in the background, anyone who knows these codes can see that - as Duan Hengye said just now, the cracking work has ended successfully.
Duan Hengye heard a burst of cheers from the communication channel. Like him and Meng Jinhuai, the workload of these staff members has been very heavy recently. All of them have devoted 100% of their attention to this work and are looking forward to the final result.
After seeing this interface now, the office over there exploded in an instant. The pressure that had accumulated for a long time was all released at this moment. Although the communication equipment lowered the volume sensitively, the cheers that suddenly sounded still reached Duan Hengye's ears.
After a few seconds, the staff finally remembered that Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai were still on the same communication channel as them. So the scream that burst out just now was swallowed up again by them, but at this time, Meng Jinhuai, who had only said a word or two from the beginning, suddenly spoke up.
"Thank you for your recent work." Meng Jinhuai's words also had a bit of a smile, and he continued, "Now this stage of work has officially ended, and everyone can take a good rest."
The communication channel can see the time of the three places, in fact, except for the research institute where Duan Hengye is, it is still daytime. So after hearing Meng Jinhuai's words, everyone immediately understood that Meng Jinhuai was urging Duan Hengye to rest. Immediately, various staff members began to say goodbye to Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai on the channel, and it didn't take long for the place to be quiet.
However, unlike the staff imagined, after they left, the communication did not end, and Duan Hengye did not go to rest immediately as Meng Jinhuai said. For Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai, the focus of today's work has just begun.
At this time, the interface on the light brain suddenly changed. The system background screen just now disappeared. After a burst of white light, the software interface that Duan Hengye was familiar with appeared in front of Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai at the same time.
"This is mecha design software." Duan Hengye said, his voice was very calm at first glance, which was in great contrast to the staff who couldn't help screaming after seeing the successful decryption of the file. But only Meng Jinhuai, who was familiar with Duan Hengye, could hear that beneath Duan Hengye's calm voice, there was an incomparably excited emotion.
Compared to successfully cracking the file, Duan Hengye was even more excited about the software interface he saw at this time.
As a mecha designer, Duan Hengye is more familiar with this software than anyone. After all, he spends most of his day here.
After saying the words just now, Duan Hengye began to operate the software proficiently. Meng Jinhuai did not speak, nor did he perform additional remote operations to interrupt Duan Hengye's movements. After a while, several commands were issued from Duan Hengye's subordinates, and the interface began to change.
At this time, Duan Hengye lifted his hand from the keyboard, and he said to Meng Jinhuai over there, "This software is still in the version more than ten years ago, so it runs a little slow." The technological progress of the interstellar age is really fast. , Compared with the era of data storage, now the mecha design software has been updated several times.
The information that was saved back then was very complicated, and it was a little slow to open with the old software.
Duan Hengye was not someone who was easily anxious, but seeing the mecha model that was slowly loading in front of him, his fingers could not help but tap lightly on the table. Duan Hengye himself didn't notice this, but Meng Jinhuai in Nanzhuxing heard the voice vaguely.
Meng Jinhuai can understand Duan Hengye's current mood - as a mecha designer, the other party can see the answer to the difficult problem that has been hidden for more than ten years. This is enough to think about it. However, Meng Jinhuai did not directly comfort the other party as he did just now, but suddenly asked Duan Hengye's plans for the next mecha.
His words diverted Duan Hengye's attention, and Duan Hengye's mind finally left the mecha body model that was being loaded little by little.
Although the loading speed is a little slow, Duan Hengye's parents recorded it with the best system after all. A few minutes later, a model of a body mecha finally appeared in front of Duan Hengye. Ninety percent of the mecha is gray, and only the area under the cockpit is painted blue.
After seeing this picture, Duan Hengye couldn't help but take a deep breath, and he continued: "The gray part is the original mecha model, and the blue part is the weapon assembly point." In addition, the two also noticed at the same time , this gray mecha body model is actually what the top mecha of the previous generation looked like. The mecha that Meng Jinhuai is currently driving is based on it.
Meng Jinhuai couldn't help laughing, and then said with a little nostalgia: "I haven't seen this mecha for many years." Unlike ordinary mass-produced mechas, top-level mechas are genuine "orphans". Just as there is no replica of Meng Jinhuai's mecha in Yetian Empire Mecha Research Institute, there is only one top-of-the-line mecha belonging to Meng Jinhuai's father.
Although it was changed on the basis of the previous generation, Meng Jinhuai's mecha shape is still somewhat different from it. Therefore, Meng Jinhuai's tone suddenly changed like this after seeing this legendary mecha that disappeared with the old marshal many years ago.
Neither of them would easily fall into their past emotions, even though the mecha and confidential documents in front of them had different meanings to Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai. But they did not patronize the memory, or feel anything. Duan Hengye directly opened the weapon assembly point without hesitation, then clicked the file without hesitation, and started copying all the data to his and Meng Jinhuai's optical brains.
In the process of copying the file, Duan Hengye also began to study the mecha model in front of him. Then he suddenly realized one thing - just based on the structure at first glance and the experience accumulated over the years, this model is not simple. But when he saw it, Duan Hengye not only didn't find it complicated and difficult to understand, but instead had a sense of sight that he had seen it somewhere.
Duan Hengye put his hand back on the light brain, then clicked into the inside of the weapon model, and began to quickly observe its structure from all angles.
After an unknown amount of time, Duan Hengye suddenly heard Meng Jinhuai's familiar voice in his ear.
"...A-Heng? A-Heng?" Now that the copying of the document was over, but Duan Hengye didn't respond for a long time, Meng Jinhuai started calling his name unconsciously.
After hearing Meng Jinhuai's voice, Duan Hengye finally came to his senses. He couldn't help but sniff, then glanced at the fully copied document.
Meng Jinhuai asked, "What's wrong, is there any problem with the model?"
Duan Hengye shook his head involuntarily, and finally remembered that Meng Jinhuai was not by his side now. So Duan Hengye gave a soft "um", and then said everything he had just discovered.
"When I saw the models just now, I suddenly felt a familiar feeling. After thinking about it carefully, I think... I may have come into contact with them when I was a child." Duan Hengye said.
Hearing his words, even Meng Jinhuai couldn't help but feel surprised. After all, Duan Hengye was only a teenager when the so-called accident happened. According to this age, no matter what kind of "genius" he is, he should still be in the stage of accumulating basic knowledge. He should not have been able to come into contact with such responsible and core skills so early.
But Meng Jinhuai also believed that since Duan Hengye had already said so to himself, it meant that the truth was almost the same.
However, due to the lack of memories of his childhood, what Duan Hengye is talking about is only his own rough guess.
"I think this model is very familiar. I have seen it when I was young. So I just opened the inside of the weapon and took a look at its structure..." Duan Hengye once again synchronized the internal structure of the weapon to Meng Jinhuai. Constantly adjust the angle, and open some connections from time to time. While he was busy adjusting the angle in his hands, Duan Hengye didn't let his mouth relax. He began to explain to Meng Jinhuai the purpose of each connecting part and the meaning of putting it here.
Perhaps it was because he was a little excited that Duan Hengye didn't simplify the complexities he gave to the students before, and he didn't consider in advance whether the content he was going to teach was too professional. This time, Duan Hengye said all the things he had just discovered, and even the speed of his speech could not help but increase a lot.
Although Meng Jinhuai, as a marshal, already knew a lot about mechas, he felt a little ignorant when he heard Duan Hengye's words. However, this did not prevent Meng Jinhuai from understanding what Duan Hengye meant by showing him this—Duan Hengye was right, he had been exposed to the knowledge of weapon systems since he was a child, and his understanding of it was not superficial, but extremely in-depth. .
It is conceivable that in addition to learning the basic knowledge of mecha, Duan Hengye's parents told him about the assembly of the weapon system every day. Although Duan Hengye really didn't understand the relevant content at that time, day after day, year after year, after such a long time, those relevant knowledge had already been imprinted in Duan Hengye's mind.
Whether it was the royal family or other people in the interstellar space, no one would have imagined that the dean and his wife would actually ask such difficult questions to their children. Even if he hadn't cracked this file, Duan Hengye himself would not have found that he could actually understand the structure.
After saying those words, Duan Hengye paused there for a long time, then he suddenly smiled softly and said, "In this way, I can save a lot of time for understanding and research." Although he couldn't see his expression, But Meng Jinhuai felt inexplicably that although Duan Hengye smiled, his mood when he spoke had nothing to do with "happy" or "relaxed".
Sure enough, after saying this, Duan Hengye sighed softly, and then he asked Meng Jinhuai on the other end of the communication: "You said...they taught me this, did they already think of the worst of it back then? plan?" Duan Hengye's words carried an indescribable sense of vulnerability.
For a time, Meng Jinhuai felt that many words were stuck in his throat, but he couldn't say anything.
Professor Duan is not a fragile person, not to mention that he has not yet remembered what happened back then. So after being silent for a while, Duan Hengye turned off the internal interface of the weapon system just now.
"Okay," Duan Hengye said with a long sigh, "I'm going to rest, see you tomorrow."
"En." Meng Jinhuai did not disturb Duan Hengye's emotions. After hearing the other party's words, he also said softly to the other side of the communication, "See you tomorrow."
Compared to the past, Duan Hengye's routine has been much more regular these days. But he and Meng Jinhuai both knew that although he said "going to rest", of course the night owl Professor Duan would not do it.
After the communication was closed, Duan Hengye walked to the sofa again. However, instead of picking up the photo again, he took a small square box from the low cabinet in the corner of the sofa.
Duan Hengye's current location is the Mecha Research Institute. Although there is no replica of Meng Jinhuai's top-level mecha, the most important thing here is mecha. What Duan Hengye is holding now is the opening medal of an intermediate mecha. The codename of this mecha is "YL-0". Apart from Ye Tian Empire, it has also been exported to other countries in large quantities. A very common medium-sized mecha.
Unlike the design of mass-produced mechas, top-level mechas take longer. Although the weapon system model is now in hand, Duan Hengye is still preparing for a protracted battle. He gave himself enough time to design, and during that time he also had other things to do.
Duan Hengye took the medal out of the box, and then held it tightly in his hand. The special metal material of the medal was terrifyingly cold, and as soon as Duan Hengye held it in his hand, a biting chill came from it. But despite this, Duan Hengye still did not let it go.
The experimental building of the Mecha Research Institute is in the same hemisphere as the residential area, and it has just entered the dark night here. After Duan Hengye took out the medal, he took a short jacket from the hanger on one side, and then put it on and walked outside the house.
Duan Hengye's movements were quick, and he didn't hesitate. After going out, he directly boarded a hovercraft that had been parked here for a long time, and then flew towards the other end of the planet where the institute was located.
Compared with the lively other hemisphere, there are mainly several test sites here, and the warehouse of the research institute is also here. Although it looks like the same dense building from a high altitude, but the staff is much less. Duan Hengye stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window of the levitator, and he saw that the scenery outside the window was rapidly retreating. It didn't take long for the levitator to cross the line of dawn and dusk, and then enter the bright side of the planet.
Just as Meng Jinhuai has the highest authority on Nanzhuxing and other Marshals, Duan Hengye also has the highest degree of freedom in his actions here. No one could have imagined that Duan Hengye would come to the mecha testing ground on the other side of the planet by himself in the late night hours in the living and working areas.
After reaching the destination, the levitation sounded twice, then reduced the speed and fell down. After the hatch was opened, a cold wind poured in.
This mecha proving ground is idle most of the time. Its function is somewhat similar to a flying star, but the environment is simpler. Now only some auxiliary mech tests, or small experiments will be opened here.
After Duan Hengye stepped off the hoverboard, he saw the old mecha that was scrapped in the experiment that was parked not far away. Other than that, there was nothing here. Compared with the buildings or delicate greenery in other parts of the star where the research institute is located, this test site looks a bit barren.
However, Duan Hengye obviously didn't care about this. Anyway, what he was looking for was an open space.
After getting off the levitator and looking around, Duan Hengye took out the mecha opening medal from his pocket and threw it high in the air. In the blink of an eye, a dark gray mecha appeared in front of Duan Hengye.
Compared with the first one that Duan Hengye secretly opened on Duguang Star, this one is much larger, and after getting closer, you can feel the oppression from the mecha. After seeing it, Duan Hengye felt a little nervous in his heart, but after a few seconds of preparation, he chose to log into the mecha directly.
That's right... The "other thing" Duan Hengye planned to do during this time was to learn to drive a mecha.
A long time ago, Duan Hengye knew that he possessed extremely high spiritual power. It is conceivable that if Duan Hengye is not currently engaged in mecha design work, and no one in the interstellar space knows that his mental power has recovered. With such mental strength alone, Duan Hengye would definitely receive an olive branch from the legion.
Although Duan Hengye was unable to reveal his mental strength now because he wanted to hide his strength from the royal family and did not know how to explain it to the outside world. But this did not prevent him from wanting to learn to drive a mecha... This was too tempting, and several incidents he encountered before clearly told Duan Hengye that the environment he was in was not safe.
Although Duan Hengye had avoided the first two times because of Duan Hengye's excellent skills, he would not naively think that he would be able to have the same good luck next time.
This is an era where crises are lurking everywhere, and everyone should prepare for the worst - Duan Hengye knew it for a long time. Duan Hengye's perception of this point was even stronger after he discovered just now that his parents had consciously taught him the knowledge of weapon systems since he was a child.
After a while, Duan Hengye boarded the mecha cockpit. He sat down slowly, and then slowly opened the mecha according to his high understanding of mecha and Meng Jinhuai's lecture at Nanwei Star last time.
At this time, Heng Ye's spirit was highly concentrated, and he didn't have time to pay attention to what was going on around him. So... Duan Hengye naturally didn't see the message Meng Jinhuai sent him just now.
The matter of Nan Zhuxing has been settled, and Meng Jinhuai is rushing to the research institute at this time. Duan Hengye forgot one thing, or he didn't care about it at all... After the last incident, Nan Zhuxing once again raised the security level around him. In addition to the increase in the number of security personnel, Duan Hengye also carried a miniature tracker on his body. It can actually send the location to Nanzhuxing to prevent any accident from happening suddenly. Because this thing is really inconspicuous, after a period of time, even Duan Hengye himself forgot its existence.
But whether the owner of the tracker remembers it or not, the truth is—that thing is still working hard.
