Chapter 65:
That night, Duan Hengye took the starship back to the research institute. It was late for his departure, but Duan Hengye on the starship was not a bit sleepy because he had been thinking about things.
The black starship slowly sailed out of the airspace of the Southern Stars, and Duan Hengye, who had remembered nothing for a long time but still got nothing, finally got up from his seat. Feeling a little irritable, he walked to the window, and then cast his gaze on the boundless dark space.
The starship was traveling very fast at this time, and the scene outside the window was still empty. After a while, large and small planets began to fly by the window. Duan Hengye did not know how many times Duan Hengye had walked the road from Nan Zhuxing to the research institute. He had already remembered which major planets he would pass on this road.
Putting his hand gently on the transparent window, Duan Hengye stared at the silent space outside the window. At this time, the starship was passing through a medium-sized planetary belt. Although it was far away, the light from the cities on the planet could still be seen. Compared to other places, the planets here don't have psychedelic and beautiful colors, and Hengye didn't pay too much attention here before.
But today, because he wanted to divert his attention, Duan Hengye began to observe this planetary belt seriously. And when he looked around, he found...Not far away there was a planet with only sporadic light. Its appearance is very inconspicuous, but placed among the prosperous resident planets, it shows a somewhat special meaning.
Duan Hengye is already a qualified interstellar citizen. After seeing that strange planet, he lightly clicked the window in front of him. A few seconds later, a row of text suddenly appeared on the window that had nothing.
Duan Hengye didn't care about those words. He probably clicked 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 after a few seconds it condensed into a beam, and then the light that was not far away was lightly touched by Duan Hengye. Scan the planet again.
This is the planet identification and introduction function of Starship. In the period after discovering it, Duan Hengye once liked to click on planets on the road and read related introductions. Also because of this function, Duan Hengye finally knew a little bit about interstellar geography.
After the scan, a light screen rose up beside Duan Hengye. Upon seeing this, Duan Hengye's vision left the window, and then cast a light screen.
"Planet: Cheng Lixing
Ownership: Marshal of the Yetian Empire belongs to the star
The nature of the planet: special"
Now the starship has just left the Southern Stars, so all of the surrounding planets are all Marshal's stars. After seeing the first two lines of introduction, Duan Hengye didn't feel much. It's just that... the "star nature" behind it attracted all Duan Hengye's attention.
After discovering this function, Duan Hengye spotted many planets, large and small, and then checked its information. In Duan Hengye's impression, there are not many planets marked as "special". Even the Southern Stars, where the Marshal's Mansion is located, are abbreviated as "Dwelling Planet" in the column of the nature of the planet. If he remembers correctly, the "special planet" he has seen may only be the location of the Yetian Empire Mecha Research Institute, and the mecha flying test star. Could it be said that this seemingly inconspicuous planet in front of him? Also related to mecha?
If Duan Hengye was still sixty points curious just now, then after seeing the word "special" now, his curiosity immediately reached a hundred points. Duan Hengye didn't hesitate, he clicked the name of the planet again, and then opened the specific information bar.
... Duan Hengye originally thought that this would be a mecha-related planet. Before the specific information was opened, he was still wondering in his heart whether this was an abandoned experimental planet. But the second after the text appeared, Duan Hengye was completely stunned.
In fact, this planet named Chenglixing has nothing to do with mecha.
This is a planet, but also a very special "cemetery". Chengli Star was originally a very ordinary resident planet, but because of 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 migration in the interstellar, and from the data, it can be seen that there were only two billion inhabitants of this planet as early as hundreds of years ago. For Interstellar, the number of two billion is really small and cannot be smaller. It is as inconspicuous as Chengli Xing.
But it was on such an unremarkable 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 this leftover planet became a huge cemetery suspended in the universe.
Later, it was not just the army who died in the war and the war a hundred years ago. People, some mechas destroyed in the war were also sent to Chenglixing. However, it is more of the burial mound of the soldiers who died in the interstellar space.
After seeing the number in the detailed information, Duan Hengye's scalp even became numb. He has always been aware of the cruelty and danger of war in the interstellar age, but after seeing the number of these cloaks, Duan Hengye finally had a more intuitive understanding of this matter.
He slowly reached out his hand to turn off the light screen. After a while, the starship's cab received a special order-Duan Hengye's request, the starship temporarily adjusted its course, went to the vicinity of Chengli star, and made a circle.
Not long after receiving Duan Hengye's news, Ye Pu, the assistant who had been staying elsewhere, walked over. He didn't understand why Duan Hengye suddenly went to Cheng Lixing, "Professor Duan, do you have any more requirements? Do you need to arrange a landing?"
As Duan Hengye's personal assistant, Ye Pu has always felt that his work is a bit abnormal, except for the need to pay attention to his words and deeds and special dynamics. Duan Hengye's daily life is very simple, and his range of activities is very small. As a personal assistant, he spends most of the day in a state of nothing to do.
Although Chengli Xing is of special nature, it is difficult for ordinary people to approach it unless special application is made. But Duan Hengye is after all the dean of the Yetian Empire Mecha Research Institute, and it is a very simple matter for him to go to Cheng Lixing. Suddenly hearing Ye Pu speak, Duan Hengye couldn't help but stunned for a moment, "Huh?" He didn't expect that Ye Pu would suddenly mention the arrangement of landing.
Upon seeing this, the assistant said: "That's it, Professor Duan. Because Chenglixing has been half-abandoned for many years, some of the above infrastructure has long been unable to keep up. Now the entire Chenglixing has only a few staff permanent. , The number of people is really small, if you go, we have to contact us in advance."
The top starship Duan Hengye is currently riding is of excellent quality, and it is reasonable to say that it can land in any state. It's just that the current Chengli star is really too desolate. If Duan Hengye passes by temporarily, I'm afraid what I will see is an endless wasteland and a city that has been abandoned for many years.
Ye Pu didn't know what Duan Hengye was going to do there, but he thought, in any case, he would find some staff on the planet to receive him.
After hearing Ye Pu's words, Duan Hengye shook his head hurriedly and said, "No, don't land." At this time, the starship had changed its course and started flying in the direction of Chenglixing. Duan Hengye said: "I just have a closer look."
"Okay." Ye Pu didn't leave after speaking. He stood beside Duan Hengye and began to introduce the planet to him. Unlike the data listed in the data column, Ye Pu tells more like a "story". Following the assistant's narration, this huge starship finally flew over Chenglixing.
The starship is now in the night hemisphere of Chengli Star. Because there are almost no people living on it, the planet is completely dark. The starship slowly lowered its height again, and with the light from the lower part of the starship, Duan Hengye was finally able to see clearly what it looked like on Chengli.
At this time the starship was flying over a huge abandoned city ruin, which was frozen a hundred years ago. As a previously underdeveloped planet, Chenglixing's buildings are generally not high. Coupled with the fact that it has been abandoned for a long time, everything here is inexplicably called Duan Hengye with a sense of familiarity.
It feels a bit of the earth, but such an architectural style with a sense of technology and a degree of desolation is rare on earth.
The same leaf spectrum standing by the window is different. Although I know the history of this planet very well, it has never been to Chengli star before. As the starship approached, Ye Pu didn't know when he stopped talking, and then he couldn't help but open his eyes and look up to the ground.
The starship finally flew over the city, and then slowly came to the hemisphere of the planet. At this time they could finally clearly see that in the wasteland under their feet, there were actually one after another mecha.
"This is..." Although Cheng Lixing was known to be a "Mecha Cemetery" before, 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 Chengli Star are so badly damaged that they can no longer be repaired. But even if there is only a little frame left, Duan Hengye can still accurately tell its model and year of service.
Duan Hengye seldom said so much, but Ye Pu could feel it. Although Professor Duan said too many words, his mood dropped little by little. 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, and then he wanted to turn on the light brain to send a return notice.
But at this moment, Ye Pu heard Duan Hengye once again turned to face the sight outside the window and sighed, and then said to himself: "Technology and mechas bring peace or destruction to the interstellar ?"
Ye Pu heard Duan Hengye's words, but he also understood that Duan Hengye was not asking him, but for himself. As the dean of the Mecha Research Institute, although Duan Hengye doesn't have to face war directly, perhaps he considers war more than anyone on the interstellar.
...
After so many days, the test flight of the mech "Nan Zhu" 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 standard.
After all, the situation in the empire is not peaceful, so just after the last test flight mission, the mecha mass production plan 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, deputy dean of the Mecha Research Institute, knocked on the door with his brain and walked into Duan Hengye's office.
"President Duan, this is the data of all the institutions that have the outer insulation layer for the production of mechas. Can you take a look?" Su Mingge opened the door and asked.
As soon as his voice fell, Duan Hengye's eyes instantly showed a dense cluster of characters. The amazing thing is that, as someone who doesn't feel bored and bored by watching Starnet's background programs, Duan Hengye's head started to feel dizzy when faced with the information of these institutions.
After trying to watch for a while, Duan Hengye moved his gaze away from Guangnao. After seeing Duan Hengye's "pain" expression that could not be concealed, Su Mingge finally couldn't help but laughed, and then sat on the opposite side.
"Is it hard to choose?" Su Mingge asked knowingly.
Duan Hengye tried to take another look, and then silently nodded.
In fact, in the previous life, Duan Hengye faced a similar scene. As a family of ancient warriors, the Duan family did not choose to be completely hidden after reaching the modern age. On the basis of continuing to inherit ancient martial arts, they also have many commercial industries. As the child of the family, Duan Hengye does not have to inherit the family business, but the elders in the family have not tried to get him in touch with these jobs.
But the magic is that as a person who can read those boring experimental data all day long with relish. Duan Hengye couldn't help but grow up in the face of work in the market.
He didn't expect that now that he had obviously changed a world and became the dean of the research institute, he still had to look at these things.
Although I can't tell, Su Mingge is actually much older than Duan Hengye in terms of age alone. Due to being too strong in the professional field and due to daily facial paralysis, Su Mingge almost never remembered-Duan Hengye was actually a "child".
But now, after seeing the tangled and distressed look of the other party, Su Mingge not only finally realized that Duan Hengye has a young and young side, but he also read a little "cute" on him.
Su Mingge couldn't help feeling very good. 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 insulation layer of the mecha.
"...These companies have previously cooperated with the research institute, you can focus on them." Su Mingge said while sketching Duan Hengye on the light screen. After hearing Su Mingge's words, Duan Hengye also began to act like a serious student listening to the lecture. Turning on his optical brain, he checked 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 the key points manually, and it greatly reduced the speed. So while Su Mingge introduced him to 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, from the earth age, Duan Hengye's typing speed is still a bit slower than handwriting.
Just as Duan Hengye began to record carefully, Su Mingge couldn't help but drop his gaze from his light screen to Duan Hengye's hands. In this era, although writing is still a compulsory course for students, for convenience, very few people can write by hand in daily work.
Especially for people like Su Mingge who didn't care about writing and hadn't written by himself for many years after graduation...It is no exaggeration to say that his writing has already degraded to the level of a primary school student.
Seeing that Duan Hengye changed the virtual keyboard to save trouble and began to record by hand, Su Mingge couldn't help but observe Duan Hengye's words.
Although many people in StarCraft do not write daily, they practice their signatures. Su Mingge lowered his head and found that, unlike those who only practice individual characters, Duan Hengye had a firm grasp of the writing of all characters, and he never stopped writing.
The most important thing is that Duan Hengye's characters are so beautiful!
Looking at it, Su Mingge actually forgot what he was doing. Seeing that Su Mingge hadn't spoken for a long time, Duan Hengye finally felt something was wrong. He raised his head and glanced at Su Mingge with confusion, and then asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing..." Su Mingge shook his head and said, "I didn't expect your handwriting to be pretty." He praised it sincerely. In fact, the discussion about the external insulation layer is almost over. Su Mingge looked at the light screen with great interest and then said to Duan Hengye: "Wait for me, 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 then continued to study the information that Su Mingge had just summarized on Guang Brain.
After a few more minutes, Su Mingge finally returned to Duan Hengye's office. By the way, he still held two things that Duan Hengye was once very familiar with, but he hadn't seen it for a long time...
Paper and pen.
"What are you?" Duan Hengye couldn't help asking.
Su Mingge raised his eyebrows lightly, and then said: "Write me a few words on the paper?"
In the conversation between the two of them, the morning working hours of the Institute have ended. Duan Hengye glanced at the record on Guangnao again, and then turned it off. Although I don't know what Su Mingge wants to write by himself, it is indeed very simple for Duan Hengye. Without asking more, he took the paper from the singer Su Ming, and then Duan Hengye raised his head and asked, "What to write?"
Although Su Mingge doesn't write often, his writing tools are among the best. After taking it in his hand, Duan Hengye felt that this pen was good. As a person who has been practicing calligraphy for many years, he couldn't help but feel itchy.
Seeing Duan Hengye agreeing so readily, Su Mingge sat back in the chair again. He thought for a while and said to Duan Hengye: "Write a poem, I will read it for you."
"Yeah." Duan Hengye lowered his head.
Su Mingge is reading a very popular and classic short poem in StarCraft. Even Duan Hengye has heard it many times since he entered this world. While Su Ming was reciting the song, 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 surprised expression. He took the paper from the table, and then took several photos in a row with his brain.
"Have you practiced specially?" Su Mingge looked at it for a while, then couldn't help but raised his head and asked.
"Yeah." For a long time, I haven't really written words with pen and paper. After finishing the verses read by Su Mingge, Duan Hengye continued to scribble casually on other papers. Seeing Duan Hengye's fascination, Su Mingge no longer disturbed him. After watching here for a while, Su Mingge was in a good mood and posted the photos he had just taken to his social account - unlike Duan Hengye, who had never posted any updates, Su Mingge's dynamic updates were very diligent. And I am also very happy to interact with fans.
"Su Mingge:
Can anyone guess who wrote this character? 【image】"
After sending the status, Su Mingge did not worry about everyone's reaction, but continued to return to Duan Hengye's side. Because of the original author's laziness, many historical backgrounds and cultural common sense of "Dumping Interstellar" are the same as those of China on Earth. The ancient poems handwritten by Duan Hengye at this time are also compulsory courses for everyone in childhood.
Seeing what Duan Hengye had written, Su Mingge first praised him, and then asked casually: "Yes, Professor Duan. Did you learn calligraphy in addition to pen calligraphy when you were young? I think the poems you write now, If you change to the calligraphy, you will definitely feel more."
Born in the ancient martial family, how could Duan Hengye not know how to write. After he heard Su Mingge's words, he nodded casually and said: "I have studied it, but I haven't written it for a long time."
Hearing Duan Hengye's words, Su Mingge's eyes suddenly widened. 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 the words, and then said to him, "I still have a brush in my office."
"..." At this moment, Duan Hengye really wanted to ask Su Mingge if there is a grocery store in his deputy dean's office...
