This was only the first meeting. Not long after the meeting ended, Nan Zhuxing and the Empire's Parliament publicly expressed their dissatisfaction with the results. Speaking of which, when the Yetian Empire was under the rule of the royal family, it was rare for the Empire to speak publicly. Even if it did, it was in ambiguous terms. It was rare for them to directly express their feelings.
Therefore, after receiving the signal, the entire Yetian Empire became agitated. For a time, the League of Lisheng also received a lot of pressure from both domestic and international sources.
Regardless of the results of this meeting, it was bound to have a far-reaching impact on the Empire and the Galactic Empire. After the first meeting, there were a few more meetings that would last for the next few days. However, unlike the first meeting, the subsequent meetings would not be like the first meeting, where all the important figures from both countries would participate. Instead, each meeting would have a different representative.
During the meeting, Meng Jinhuai left the host planet and secretly flew to the test flight planet to complete the last few experiments. This time, the level of secrecy of the experiment was much higher than the first one. In order to not leave any loopholes, the Yetian Empire and the Army also cooperated with Meng Jinhuai's schedule to make changes.
Because the test flight had accumulated a lot of experience, the division of labor was very mature. Even the Yeti Empire Mecha Research Institute only sent a few staff members to participate. The Galactic Empire did not know that the test flight had already begun.
The last test flight took five hours. Two days before the start of the experiment, Duan Hengye arrived at the test flight planet to prepare for it.
Although the difficulty of the test flight this time was not high, the tasks were arranged very closely together. Although Duan Hengye did not have to worry about the state of the mech like he did the first time, he still checked the experiment plan over and over again.
This time, the experiment was to save time. However, the importance of the experiment was still there. Although the time was reduced, the quality of the work could not be reduced. Therefore, in the next few days, Duan Hengye returned to his familiar busy mode.
At this time, the weather on the test flight planet was not good. Duan Hengye, who was wearing a white lab coat, stood by the window and frowned at the scene outside. As the designer of the "Nan Wei" mecha, he knew that the new mecha he had designed could handle all kinds of harsh weather conditions in the galaxy. Moreover, the more harsh the conditions, the greater the significance of the mecha's test flight. Duan Hengye knew this, but as the time for the experiment approached, he couldn't help but clench his fists in the pockets of his lab coat …
At this moment, the military staff who had been staying in the preparation room walked out one after another. After seeing Duan Hengye standing by the window, Yu Xinlan was obviously surprised. He smiled at him and said, "Professor Duan, why are you standing here?"
In fact, Duan Hengye had already done everything he could. After studying the weather, he stood by the window in a daze. Now that he suddenly heard Yu Xinlan's words, Duan Hengye finally turned around. He took his hands out of his pockets and turned to Yu Xinlan. He said, "Nothing, I was thinking about the experiment later."
"Oh, that." Yu Xinlan looked very relaxed. She waved her hand and quickly walked to Duan Hengye's side. When she walked over, Yu Xinlan's high heels knocked on the metal floor of the laboratory, making a loud noise.
"It's okay, this experiment is very basic, and our Marshal is the one in charge." Actually, during the first few experiments, Yu Xinlan was also very worried. However, after watching a few experiments, she completely relaxed about Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai.
Today, Yu Xinlan was wearing very high heels. When she walked to Duan Hengye's side, the two of them were only half a head apart. Yu Xinlan very naturally put her hand on Duan Hengye's shoulder and said casually, "You and the Marshal are a perfect match, don't worry."
Just as Yu Xinlan said this, the door of the mecha preparation room behind Duan Hengye opened again. The metal door slid across the ground without making any sound. However, the sound of footsteps behind him reminded Duan Hengye that someone was walking towards him.
Meng Jinhuai had already changed into his lab coat and was walking over. Just like the first experiment, he was still wearing the same black lab coat today. At this time, there were dark blue lightning bolts moving quickly on his coat, making him look very mysterious. Although Duan Hengye had seen Meng Jinhuai in his lab coat many times during this period of time, he couldn't help but be amazed every time he saw him like this.
Unlike Duan Hengye's nervous appearance, Meng Jinhuai now looked very natural and relaxed. The moment the door of the mecha preparation room opened, Meng Jinhuai heard Yu Xinlan's words. Although he didn't know what the two people in front of him were talking about, Meng Jinhuai clearly agreed with Yu Xinlan's last sentence.
He walked over and quietly stood on the other side of Duan Hengye. After feeling the powerful aura from the Marshal, Yu Xinlan calmly removed his hand from Duan Hengye's shoulder, then pretended that nothing had happened and coughed softly.
"The experiment is now ready. Marshal, you can now start the test flight."
Before Meng Jinhuai and Duan Hengye said anything, a military staff member came up from behind and said this. After hearing this, Meng Jinhuai gently patted Duan Hengye's shoulder, then said in his ear, "Okay, I'm going to test the flight."
The recent mecha test flight period was probably the longest period of time that Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai had worked together. Although a test flight was different from ordinary work, when the two of them were together, the originally tense and serious atmosphere would instantly become warm and cozy. It was as if what Meng Jinhuai was going to do later was not a dangerous experiment, but just an ordinary job.
Every time they set off for a test flight, Meng Jinhuai would say this to Duan Hengye, and this time was no exception.
After the two of them exchanged a few simple words, Meng Jinhuai turned around and walked over to the control panel, while Duan Hengye and the other staff members returned to their positions.
The leather monitoring seat was always so cold. Duan Hengye touched the armrest and looked at the holographic screen. Although he was still a little nervous just now, the experiment had been going on for so long, so Duan Hengye was very confident about the results. After returning to the control panel, he sat down and began to focus on the task ahead with everyone else.
The huge mecha once again appeared outside the control panel.
After a careful scan by the red beam, the mecha flew out of the control panel.
The staff members who came to participate in the experiment today were basically the backbone of the military and the research institute. During the five hours of work, everyone cooperated well and their efficiency was unbelievably high.
The data on the control panel in front of Duan Hengye changed rapidly. Because the experiment this time was particularly intensive, everyone had to be highly focused to keep up with the progress of the task.
As the chief control officer, Duan Hengye did not have to keep an eye on the experimental data this time. He was constantly watching the surveillance footage outside the mecha. He did not know if it was because of the intensive experiment, but this time, time seemed to pass by very quickly. When the mecha reappeared outside the control panel, a round of applause immediately broke out.
The staff members in the back row who had been highly focused for five hours instantly stood up from their chairs and began to hug each other.
After hearing the lively cheers from the back, Duan Hengye finally realized that the experiment was officially over.
However, unlike the dazed look after the first experimental flight, after seeing everyone's reaction, Duan Hangye also stood up with them. The vice president of the research institute, Su Mingge, suddenly ran over to Duan Hengye and gave him a big hug.
"Thank you for your hard work … Congratulations!" Su Mingge was a very emotional person. Duan Hengye could tell that when Su Mingge hugged him, there was a hint of sobbing in his voice.
Although Su Mingge did not participate in the design of the top-level mecha and only held a few department meetings with Duan Hengye, he had been in the Imperial Mecha Research Institute for many years. When Su Mingge first entered the research institute, Duan Hengye's parents were still working here. At that time, the research institute was at its lowest point. However, Duan Hengye's parents gave him the confidence to continue in this industry and complete his career.
When Su Mingge first met the original owner of the body, he was disappointed by some of his actions and felt that he was not worthy of the position of the president of the research institute. However, as time passed day by day, Duan Hengye gradually adapted to his position as the president of the research institute and led the research institute in a better direction … In fact, during these days, Su Mingge's heart was filled with gratitude.
And now, with the birth of a new top-level mecha, he was finally able to express his feelings.
Su Mingge understood the significance of the top-level mecha to Duan Hengye, and he also understood its significance to the entire research institute, and even to Duan Hengye's entire family.
This mecha was not the result of Duan Hengye's hard work alone. It was the only inheritance and connection he had with his parents. Looking at the bigger picture, other than personal feelings, it was also a testament to the history of the industry.
Su Mingge could not help but give Duan Hengye a big hug. Then, Duan Hengye felt a small wet patch on his shoulder.
Whether it was in this life or the previous one, Duan Hengye had never had the experience of comforting someone. After feeling the wet patch on his shoulder, Duan Hengye was stunned for a moment. He then reached out his hand and patted Su Mingge's shoulder. After thinking for a while, he said, "… Thank you."
After hearing the three words "thank you", Su Mingge finally raised his head from Duan Hengye's shoulder. It could be seen that Su Mingge's eyes were very red and even slightly swollen. But after hearing Duan Hengye's words, Su Mingge suddenly laughed and said, "Thank you.
"What do I have to thank you for? This is all thanks to you." He shook his head and said.
The mecha steadily stopped in its original position. There was a soft sound in the room behind the hall. After a while, the door behind the mecha opened again.
Meng Jinhuai appeared in front of everyone wearing a black lab coat. After seeing him come in, the staff in the hall who were cheering and hugging immediately turned their attention to the door and began to applaud him.
The applause lasted for a few minutes. It wasn't until the military staff saluted Meng Jinhuai that everyone quieted down. At this time, Meng Jinhuai stood up straight again and returned a military salute to everyone.
The hall quieted down again. Meng Jinhuai continued to say, "Thank you for your cooperation … From today onwards, the new mecha will officially be in service." This news sounded very simple, but in fact, the meaning behind it was incomparably great.
Unlike the last time when the mass-produced mecha was officially in service, the confidentiality of this top-level mecha was especially well done. The virtual experiment and test flight were also very low-key. This time, the Southern Star wouldn't hold a special ceremony for this matter like last time. Instead, it would simplify the entire process.
After the last test flight ended, the staff immediately registered the mecha on the military's website. Not a second was wasted. Obviously, the situation was urgent. Whether it was the Duan Hengye or Meng Jinhuai, or the entire Yetian Empire, they did not want to delay this matter any longer.
Although the Galactic Federation guessed that the new mecha's flight test was only about 60% completed, there were still some mecha enthusiasts who would refresh the relevant websites every day to see if there was anything new that was worth their attention.
Their hard work paid off. This time, they finally discovered a major event in the Galactic Federation.
Not long after Meng Jinhuai came out of the mecha, the military's website directly updated the service list. It was also at this time that people found out that while the meeting between the Yetian Empire and the League of Lisheng was still ongoing, on the other side, the Empire's new mecha had already completed its test flight test.
This time was much faster than people expected. The Alliance was caught off guard.
The meeting was clearly not over yet, but there was already such a large gap in strength between the two sides. On one side, the Yetian Empire's citizens were enthusiastic. On the other side, the Alliance, which was already under the shadow of their defeat, was becoming more and more depressed.
The simple result of the first meeting was obviously not enough to satisfy the Empire.
Although it was only a small piece of information about the mecha's service, the Galactic Federation's website was in an uproar. This was especially true for the citizens of the Empire. They kept voicing their opinions, wanting the Alliance to make more concessions.
Although Meng Jinhuai was still on the test flight planet, the progress of the meeting did not stop because of this. For the past few days, both sides had been talking about the same thing. However, after the news of the new mecha's service, even the atmosphere of the meeting changed visibly.
After the test flight, Meng Jinhuai returned to the planet where the meeting was held the next day.
From the meeting, it could be seen that the Alliance of Lisheng's attitude had become much more relaxed. They wanted to return to the first meeting and agree to the Empire's request for compensation. Unfortunately, with the appearance of the new mecha, the Empire did not want to make any concessions. They did not want to just receive normal compensation and the return of the lost planets. Now that the Empire had military power to rely on, they wanted to obtain more benefits.
Because of the change in attitude of the Yetian Empire, the Alliance, which was originally more unyielding, began to seek breathing space.
The meeting entered the countdown stage. After several rounds of discussion, they finally signed the final agreement. In addition to the compensation and the exchange of resources, the Alliance would also return all the planets that they had taken away from the Empire in recent years. However, this return would not be a temporary thing. It would last for 30 years. It could be said that it was a very time-consuming process.
Although the time limit was very long, for the Alliance, who had always been tight-lipped, this was already a huge concession.
In fact, those who understood the situation in the Interstellar could see that the most important achievement this time was not the compensation or the return of the planets, but rather peace.
The impact of the war on both countries was particularly great. For example, the planet where the meeting was being held now was not economically developed because it was located on the border. Now that there was peace and economic compensation, it was enough for the Empire's planets to return to their pre-war level, or even surpass it.
When the agreement was being signed, Duan Hengye also arrived on the planet. Just like the previous meetings that were broadcasted to the entire world, the final signing ceremony was also broadcast to the Interstellar.
Duan Hengye did not seem to want to arrive early. Assistant Ye Pu set the time for him to arrive half an hour before the meeting began. This time was a little rushed. When Duan Hengye arrived on the planet, most of the guests participating in the event were already present.
In order to participate in the event today, the military specially prepared a formal suit for Duan Hengye. The planet where the meeting was being held was currently in the early summer. Duan Hengye was wearing a linen beige suit. It looked very cool, but the design was very formal, so the clothes did not look very casual.
Just like before the first meeting, there were many reporters waiting outside the hall. As soon as Duan Hengye came out, he saw the cameras surrounding the hover car.
Perhaps due to the small size of the venue, the reporters were filming very close to the hover car's landing area. As soon as Duan Hengye came out of the hover car, he saw a group of people surrounding him.
However, just as he was hesitating to greet everyone before going in, he suddenly saw Meng Jinhuai, who had been waiting in the meeting room for a long time, quickly walk out. The Marshal walked over and grabbed Duan Hengye's hand. Then, without waiting for the reporters to react, the two of them walked directly into the meeting room.
In short, Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai's movements were very fast. The reporters were a little caught off guard.
Although Meng Jinhuai and Duan Hengye's aura was very strong, the reporters' enthusiasm for new news was not affected by this. When Duan Hengye just stood there, some of the reporters had already thought of the questions they would ask him later. Unfortunately, the Marshal appeared at the right time. The two of them did not take long to disappear from the reporters' cameras. They did not give the reporters any chance to speak.
After passing through the wall of reporters at the door, Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai appeared in a corridor of the meeting room.
Duan Hengye noticed that perhaps because the economic conditions of this planet were not good to begin with, and because the room was built in an antique style, the layout of the room was very similar to that of a banquet hall on Earth. It was not like the interstellar era where high-tech products were everywhere.
By the way, there was no special architectural structure here. The whole structure looked very simple, but Duan Hengye was very comfortable with this kind of decoration style.
After walking in, Meng Jinhuai suddenly turned around and looked at him, then asked, "A Heng, have you seen the news on the Star Web recently?"
Hearing this, Duan Hengye nodded and asked, "What's wrong?"
Because only the two of them were talking in the corridor, the echo of their words kept floating in their ears. After hearing Duan Hengye's question, Meng Jinhuai did not answer the question directly. He smiled and said, "If you were the president of the League of Lisheng, or if you were a member of the League, what do you think you would do in this situation?"
In fact, Duan Hengye usually did not find anything wrong with this matter. However, he had been paying attention to the news about this matter and knew that this matter would have a great impact on the second half of the novel. After hearing Meng Jinhuai's question, Duan Hengye thought for a moment and then said, "They would definitely not be willing to pay such a huge compensation … So I think they might choose to counterattack before Empire's strength is fully recovered …"
After hearing Duan Hengye's words, Meng Jinhuai was stunned for a moment. He did not expect Duan Hengye to think of this.
After hearing this, Meng Jinhuai slowly raised his head. He looked out the window and said, "You're right. We don't have to wait for the League of Lisheng to return the stars that belong to us one by one in the next few decades. Instead, we should be preparing for their final attack. "
Because of this meeting, the entire Empire was very excited.
However, at the same time, the military was already preparing for the League's counterattack. In fact, after hearing Meng Jinhuai's words, Duan Hengye couldn't help but admire him.
Duan Hengye's conjectures were completely based on the later parts of the novel. However, Meng Jinhuai was different. He actually made such an accurate prediction based on his understanding of the League of Lisheng and the meetings over the past few days.
Duan Hengye slowly looked away …
It seemed like the time of the final battle was going to be brought forward.
