Chapter 40:
"You... tell it." He abruptly brought the topic back.
The atmosphere was once awkward.
From what Duan Hengye was doing when he first saw Su Mingge, he was really a talkative person.
After this discussion was over, within half a day, the entire Yetian Mecha Armor Research Institute knew about Duan Hengye's accidental destruction of Guangnao. There were already many people in the Imperial Research Institute, and the episode spread across the entire interstellar in a very fast time.
As the news spreads, it is natural to add oil and vinegar.
So later, when the incident was passed back to Duan Hengye's ears, it became-because he was worried about the safety of Marshal Lord, Duan Heng directly destroyed Guangbrain in his night stand.
——No! There are so many slots in this sentence!
Although he was a little desperate for his image, Duan Hengye still collapsed after hearing the rumors. Obviously, I just dropped an insignificant part, so why is it rumored on the interstellar that he destroyed the optical brain?
As a necessary thing for everyone in the interstellar age, destroying the light brain is a very troublesome thing. Duan Hengye couldn't believe that this extremely nonsensical rumor was admitted by so many people...
But in any case, this episode can barely bring some light to the tense research institute. Since the last conflict, the big and small wars between Yetian and the Li Sheng alliance have not been interrupted. The research institute also began to pay attention to the situation at all times, and the team responsible for the maintenance of the later system was working endlessly.
Compared with the earth, people in the interstellar age have made great progress in physical and spiritual aspects, but the current work intensity is still somewhat beyond their limits.
At 3:40 at night, a medium-sized battle had just ended, and the area where the research institute system maintenance team was located was brightly lit. Despite the strict implementation of the schedule, the staff are still extremely tired during this period, and the bitter aroma of strong coffee is permeated throughout the office area.
At this moment, the silver-white door of the office area suddenly opened automatically.
Feeling the change in light, the staff sitting by the door couldn't help but take a closer look, and then he found that the person here was actually Duan Hengye.
No, Duan Hengye did not come alone.
The sudden sound of footsteps attracted the attention of the office area. After seeing Duan Hengye, many people stood up from their positions and began to greet him.
Immediately after Duan Hengye nodded to the staff, he walked quickly to the center of the office area and said: "Thank you for your recent work. Because of the tension, the maintenance team has always had a very heavy task. So from Starting today, I have seconded some members from other groups to help you work together."
Duan Hengye didn't wear the white uniform of the Academy tonight, but a gray high-necked loose sweater, which was what the staff had never seen before.
However, everyone's attention to appearance only lasted for less than a second. After hearing Duan Hengye's words, the already sleepy staff immediately became energetic.
Duan Hengye transferred the members of other groups?
Although he was also a member of the Yetian Empire Mecha Research Institute, the existence of the maintenance team was often a bit awkward. Judging from the name alone, their work has nothing to do with the word "research". And because of the nature of the work, although it is very busy now, this group often panics in non-war time.
Although no one has said it publicly before, the hidden discrimination chain in the research institute has always existed, and they have indeed been ignored for a long time.
After Duan Hengye finished speaking, the office was quiet for a while, but now the situation is urgent, Duan Hengye did not leave everyone any time for emotion.
This office is very large and there is no loudspeaker. In order to let everyone hear what he said, Duan Hengye couldn't help but raise the volume and began to redistribute manpower and work.
After finishing the new personnel assignment, the work of the maintenance team is on track again in a few minutes, and the efficiency is greatly improved.
The maintenance team has been in contact with the military. After the work restarted, the incident that Duan Heng showed up during the night also spread to the command starship located on the border of the Yetian Empire...
The arrival of war is always very sudden. In these recent days, Duan Heng has been awakened by the sudden notification from Guangnao on the night countless times. In order to work, Duan Hengye's residence was once again changed from the living area to the office area.
This night, when he arranged the work of the maintenance team and returned to his residence, his brain was brightened again within a few minutes.
After talking with Su Mingge last time, Duan Hengye had a new idea for the system transformation of Meng Jinhuai's mecha. The maintenance team has been busy these days, and Professor Duan has never stopped working.
He was already very sleepy now, but after seeing the prompt on the light brain, Duan Hengye quickly opened it, and then directly activated the super light brain of the research institute, and entered the interior of the military in a short time. System.
As the "marshal's spouse," Duan Hengye has long been a member of the Southern Stars by default, and has obtained higher notification authority. So even if he didn't break into the military's intranet, the news he received was much more detailed than usual.
For example, Duan Hengye can see from the prompt of Guangnao just now that this sudden outbreak of war is more intense than the previous few times.
Duan Hengye, who was already familiar with the backstage path, found Meng Jinhuai's mecha. As soon as the projection was turned on, a burst of extremely dazzling red light leaked through the mecha's front window. Although the mecha window had a special filter coating, Duan Hengye's eyes were still blurred after that burst of light flashed.
When the light was normal, Duan Hengye saw that opposite Meng Jinhuai's mecha, there was a sea of mechas that could not be seen at a glance. Looking at the mecha styles alone, you can find that they all belong to the Lisheng Alliance.
Meng Jinhuai's mecha has fallen into the enemy's encirclement!
This fact immediately drove Duan Heng away from all sleepiness.
Many dangerous battles have been described in the book "Dumping Interstellar", but even those described as "Nine Deaths" have never happened when the Marshal Mecha was surrounded by enemy forces.
Duan Hengye heard his breathing quickly. In the real-time surveillance video, the opponent's attacks were wave after wave. Although Meng Jinhuai's operations were still accurate, the meaning of "outnumbered" was vaguely revealed.
Seeing this scene, Duan Hengye quickly withdrew from the holographic video, and then began to quickly input information on the super optical brain of the research institute.
Intuition told Duan Hengye that if he didn't do anything, Meng Jinhuai might really have something wrong this time.
Just like the original owner can remotely manipulate the weapon system of Meng Jinhuai's mecha to put the opponent into a crisis. Duan Hengye can also use similar principles to help him maintain the system remotely.
The situation is really critical, Duan Hengye has no time to think about whether he will be caught by the tracking system written by Meng Jinhuai again. And he also knows that compared with the sudden abnormality of the system, remote "upgrades" are inherently difficult to notice.
The super optical brain of the research institute has the most detailed data of Meng Jinhuai mecha, and Duan Hengye has been studying it in the past few days. So after officially hacking into the internal system of the mecha, he was not fooled by the dazzling data. Duan Hengye pursed his lips, his eyes were fixed on the screen, his expression was very serious.
As time passed by, the super optical brain in the office brightened Duan Hengye's face. The input of his information did not stop for a second, and Meng Jinhuai's mecha system was quietly upgrading little by little...
Duan Hengye, who was busy modifying the system, didn't see it. At this time, Meng Jinhuai, who was driving the mecha, frowned first, then suddenly moved away from the window and glanced at the commander inside the mecha.
Just now, Meng Jinhuai suddenly felt that his original tense mental strength was loosened, and the whole person was relieved a lot - just like a traveler who had traveled thousands of miles alone suddenly put down his heavy backpack. As his mental power relaxed, he also found that he had a lot more control over the mecha.
Meng Jinhuai is already the highest SSS mental power in the interstellar, and he drives the most advanced mecha. For a mecha pilot of his strength, the mental power and the slightest change in the mecha are enough to cause a qualitative change on the battlefield.
Although he was puzzled, Meng Jinhuai's thinking returned to the mecha in an instant.
He quickly grasped this change, condensing his spirit and waiting for the right time.
The Li Sheng Alliance team saw that the huge mecha that was evading the attack suddenly stopped. Although they were puzzled, they hurriedly used this opportunity to attack the mecha driven by Meng Jinhuai.
It's now!
In the academy, Duan Hengye's hand pressed heavily on the virtual keyboard, and the last upgrade command was issued. In the cockpit of the mecha, Meng Jinhuai once again felt that his control over the mecha was greatly enhanced.
The huge static mecha suddenly jumped upwards obliquely, and then jumped into the depths of the encirclement circle with a path that was difficult for a light brain to analyze and plan!
Meng Jinhuai...Is this going to die?
In the distance, Yu Xinlan who saw this scene couldn't help letting out an exclamation. But she soon discovered that Meng Jinhuai was not making a temporary move, let alone "destroying". On the contrary, he found a "life path" within the mecha encirclement, a path that Optical Brain had not calculated.
Yu Xinlan and the soldiers of the empire watched together, the huge silver mecha shuttled in the encirclement of the Li Sheng alliance at an incredible angle. With absolute control over the mecha and superb mecha maneuverability, Meng Jinhuai left the danger zone only five minutes later.
"T6P-9 area, start re-enclosure mode."
Meng Jinhuai's command sound appeared in the ears of every imperial soldier, but Duan Hengye, who secretly entered the internal system and turned on factual monitoring, heard it. At the moment when he left the encirclement, the always powerful Imperial Marshal finally sighed gently in relief.
...
Three hours later, one of the most critical wars in recent years ended in the victory of the Ye Tian Empire.
Although the Lisheng Alliance still did not surrender, anyone who had some research on the situation knew that the final victory had already waved to him not far away.
A silver mecha slowly landed in the inner cabin of the starship. After it landed steadily, dozens of people surrounded it in an instant. These people are all high-ranking officials of the military. Members, the two headed by are the two generals beside Meng Jinhuai.
Although the war has been won, the expressions on everyone's faces are still serious.
After the initial surprise, people discovered that Meng Jinhuai's appearance was somewhat good and abnormal. Seeing this silver-white mecha with a large burn on its surface, everyone began to worry about whether Meng Jinhuai had overdrawn his mental power in order to win.
The hatch of the mecha did not open for a long time. Yu Xinlan walked slowly to the other admiral, and then hesitated for a while and whispered: "...Hewen, in another minute, do you want to force the hatch to open?"
In order to prevent mecha drivers from being trapped in the cabin due to physical exhaustion or other reasons, most mechas can be opened from the outside. Although this function itself is nothing, but in the minds of the imperial soldiers, there is another obscure representation-generally this function is only used when the mecha driver is in trouble.
Hearing Yu Xinlan's words, Dongfang Hewen didn't speak for the time being. After a few seconds, he nodded slowly and said, "Okay."
Although the two generals didn't speak loudly, because the scene was too quiet, the dialogue between the two was accurately passed into everyone's ears.
For a while, the atmosphere on the docking ground became extremely serious.
Yu Xinlan glanced at Guangnao hanging beside him, and began to count the time silently.
For fifty seconds, the mecha was motionless.
For thirty seconds, the hatch still had no response.
Ten seconds...The quiet needle fall on the scene can be heard.
Yu Xinlan slowly closed his eyes, and then grabbed his light brain back into his hand.
"I'm going now--" However, before Xin Lan said the following words, Dongfang Hewen on one side took her arm and said: "The door is open!" As a calm person, the words are only better than Duan Hengye. With more generals, Dongfang Hewen rarely has such a tone of excitement.
Looking forward along his line of sight, I saw Meng Jinhuai's mecha slowly opening the door. Then, the Marshal in black military uniform walked out of it.
After seeing his relaxed footsteps, everyone present couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Yu Xinlan, who was about to open the hatch from the outside just now, couldn't help but walked up quickly and asked: "Marshal Lord! Do you need to rest in the nutrition cabin now?"
The advanced nutrition cabin located on the starship can not only quickly recover from trauma, but also help adjust mental power. After not expecting to hear the question, Meng Jinhuai shook his head and said, "No need." Then, under Xin Lan and Dongfang He's incomprehensible gaze, he walked quickly into the crowd.
Meng Jinhuai frowned and asked, "Where are the staff in the technical team?"
After hearing his words, several people in gray uniforms immediately stood up in the crowd, and they paid a military salute to Meng Jinhuai.
"Yeah." The Marshal nodded at them, then turned to look at the two generals, "Come to my office." After speaking, he quickly left here.
Seeing Meng Jinhuai's back, Yu Xinlan, who was standing there, walked to Dongfang Hewen's side, and then slammed the opponent with her elbow and whispered, "Do you think this scene looks familiar?"
"..." Hearing Yu Xinlan's words, and taking another look at the technical team staff who followed Meng Jinhuai to the office quickly, Dongfang Hewen nodded slowly.
They thought of the day when Duan Hengye was exposed a few months ago.
...
Duan Hengye's original speculation was not wrong. Compared with the sudden abnormality of the system, almost no one would notice its upgrade activities.
But who is Meng Jinhuai is no ordinary person.
As an SSS-level mecha driver, Meng Jinhuai can accurately capture any change in the mecha. He knew very well about this mecha that had accompanied him from birth to death many times, and naturally also knew that the change just now was definitely not his own illusion.
It's just...Where did this change come from?
Meng Jinhuai actually had an answer vaguely in his heart.
The system that tracked Duan Hengye last time was written by Meng Jinhuai himself. After calling the person in charge of the technical team, he directly asked the other party to start using this system to check the mecha program changes.
And in the inner room of the office, Yu Xinlan tentatively said her own question, "Marshal Lord, do you... want to call a colleague in the technical team to come over?"
Meng Jinhuai slowly put the mecha's driving badge on the table, and then nodded and said: "Someone remotely modified the mecha program, and the control of mental power and the smoothness of operation have been improved."
"But..." As an admiral, Yu Xinlan also has much more research on mechas than ordinary people. She hesitated and said: "Tampering with mecha programs is completely different from remote upgrades. And just now, mechas are operating at their limit. In, this behavior..."
Yu Xinlan didn't say the following words, Dongfang Hewen, who had been silent for a long time, unexpectedly added her words, "It's too complicated, basically there is no possibility of success."
Meng Jinhuai didn't speak, he glanced at the badge and turned on his optical brain. The tracking progress of the technical team outside the office is displayed in real time.
Although the system program is very complicated, the two other than Meng Jinhuai are imperial generals after all. Although they can't operate it, they can understand it.
The technical team's investigation of the mecha procedures is now about to end. After seeing their work progress, Yu Xinlan couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief and said, "Look...this system really doesn't have...no..." Before finishing speaking, Yu Xinlan slowly widened her eyes.
She saw that a red prompt flashed on the light brain, and at the same time the coordinates of a super light brain on the other side of the empire appeared in front of the three people.
Ye Tian Empire Mecha Research Institute.
... Could it be that it was really Duan Hengye?
No, it can only be Duan Hengye!
Yu Xinlan feels that she needs to calm down now, isn't Duan Hengye an undercover agent sent by the royal family? Not long ago, he had touched Meng Jinhuai's mecha, wanting to kill the opponent, how can he use such complicated technology to help Master Marshal's mecha upgrade remotely?
"This...why did the royal family ask him to help you?" Yu Xinlan, who was still in shock mode, asked blankly.
After not expecting to hear her, Meng Jinhuai shook his head, and then said very positively: "This is not a request from the royal family."
"...That?" Yu Xinlan couldn't help but stretched out her hand to tuck the dark red hair that fell to her forehead to block her vision. Somehow, a few words suddenly popped out of her mind now-man's heart, sea needle .
Duan Hengye, what are you thinking about!
Meng Jinhuai didn't answer her question, but took the mecha driving medal from the table again, and then smiled while looking at it.
Yu Xinlan found desperately that not only did she not understand Duan Hengye now, but even Master Marshal couldn't understand what she was thinking.
...
After successfully locking Duan Hengye, Meng Jinhuai and the two generals reorganized the mecha queue, and then Yu Xinlan and the two walked out of Meng Jinhuai's office together.
Perhaps after the Tizexing incident, Yu Xinlan also had doubts about Meng Jinhuai's statement to herself on Tizexing not long ago that "Duan Hengye deliberately got rid of his status as a puppet". So now she finally admitted that Duan Hengye is indeed a different person from her own imagination.
This starship is extremely large, and every military officer has its own lounge. Just when she was thinking about it, she had already accidentally walked past her room. Seeing this, Dongfang Hewen couldn't help but stop and asked, "Where are you going?"
"Huh?" Yu Xin was stunned for a while to realize that he had gone too far, "Oh, I have passed by, and I just thought about things accidentally and got distracted."
Dongfang Hewen nodded to express his knowledge, and then asked, "Are you thinking about Duan Hengye?"
"Yes." Yu Xinlan has always been a person who says anything, especially when facing his superiors and old partners. After hearing Dongfang Hewen's words, she retelled him the last conversation with Meng Jinhuai. After speaking, he couldn't help but sighed: "I found out that I really couldn't understand him."
Wenyan Dongfang Hewen looked at him with a very strange look.
"What do you see me doing?" Yu Xinlan was a little hairy by the other's eyes.
"Nothing." Dongfang Hewen shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't understand it, it's okay for your Master Marshal to understand." When they said this, they happened to walk outside Dongfang Hewen's office, and after they finished speaking , He directly opened the door and walked in.
Standing alone in the hallway, Yu Xinlan was still reminiscing what Dongfang Hewen had just said. After a long time, she suddenly "tsk tusk..." for a while, then suddenly realized: "It makes sense!"
