Now the news that Duan Hengye came to the vicinity of Planet Selector has almost spread throughout the galaxy. Because his identity is too special, Dongfang Hewen's most important task now is to ensure Duan Hengye's safety. At this time, it hasn't been long since the end of the last probing war, so it can be considered a period of peace. After the two briefly greeted each other, Dongfang Hewen explained what happened just now to the surrounding staff, then personally brought Duan Hengye to a huge starship in the station.
Before the hovercraft flew to the side of Dongfang Hewen's starship, Duan Hengye had already seen the huge black figure through the window. From Duan Hengye's current point of view, it was like a small city floating in the air. It looked extremely spectacular. In the past two years, Duan Hengye has seen many kinds of starships, large and small. But today is the first time he has seen such a huge one. Involuntarily, Duan Hengye was also shocked by the huge momentum of the starship, then he subconsciously put his finger on the starship's window.
After noticing Duan Hengye's curious eyes, Dongfang Hewen, who was standing beside him, said, "This is the command starship of the station. Its size is about one-fifth of the capital planet's central area."
While Dongfang Hewen was talking, the hovercraft Duan Hengye was riding gradually approached the starship. After listening to Dongfang Hewen's words, Duan Hengye realized that the size of this starship was actually larger than he thought. It should be known that although the central area of the capital planet was called a "district", it was actually no different from a large city …
This starship is a defensive starship. It is very large and has excellent defense, but its movement speed is very slow and its flexibility is extremely low. Therefore, giant starships are generally placed on fixed planets and used as stations. Although Duan Hengye knew this before, he has never seen this kind of giant starship that only exists in legends. So as the hovercraft gradually approached the starship and Dongfang Hewen introduced the internal structure of the starship to him, Duan Hengye also listened very patiently.
The book "Toppling the Stars" did not specifically introduce the duration of the last battle, but Duan Hengye could imagine that this battle would definitely not be short. So after knowing that he was going to stay on this huge starship for a long time, Duan Hengye became more and more concerned about the things that Dongfang Hewen said.
After a while, Duan Hengye boarded the starship. At this time, the military staff who were notified in advance had been waiting for a long time. Because of official business and the war, after Dongfang Hewen finished communicating with the staff, he returned to his office on Starship.
At this time, a small internal suspension device flew over from somewhere else. This starship was currently acting as the command center of the station, and all the soldiers who had not gone to war were all here for the time being. Although there were a lot of people here, Hengye's Dongfang. In order not to delay everyone's work, the flying speed of the hovercraft inside the starship was also set to the highest level. Although he was mentally prepared, Duan Hengye still couldn't help but reach out his hand nervously and hold the handle inside tightly when the hovercraft started moving.
Duan Hengye flew quickly through the wide corridor inside the starship on the hovercraft. He noticed that all the soldiers he passed by stood in place and saluted in his direction.
In Duan Hengye's view, the interior of this huge starship is like a complex termite nest. On the way here, Dongfang Hewen had briefly introduced the structure here and he could see the signs all the way. But after a while, Duan Hengye could no longer tell where he was now.
Because the hovercraft was flying too fast, after the starship landed, Duan Hengye's body couldn't help but shake a little. However, Duan Hengye quickly adjusted his state of mind. Then he walked into his own workshop with the staff.
Although the area of this starship was large, there were a lot of people inside. Although his identity was very special, Duan Hengye, like most of the middle-level and high-level military staff, was arranged into a small suite. Duan Hengye saw that there was almost no decoration in this suite. The walls on both sides were made of bare metal and looked abnormally cold.
In the middle of the suite, there was a gray work desk, and behind a thin wall, there was a single bed and a small shower. After noticing that Duan Hengye was observing the room, the staff who followed him hesitated for a moment. Then he paused and asked him, "Professor Duan, do you need to change to another workshop?"
Duan Hengye could hear that the staff's tone was a little cautious. He probably thought that Duan Hengye was complaining about the shabby room.
Of course, Duan Hengye wasn't dissatisfied with his own workshop, and he didn't want to make things difficult for the staff. So after hearing the staff's words, he withdrew his gaze, smiled at the staff, and said, "It's okay, no need."
After hearing Duan Hengye's words, the staff couldn't help but sigh in relief. He briefly explained the specific structure of the room, then left. After the staff left, Duan Hengye slowly walked to the bed in the inner room, then gently picked up a set of white clothes placed on top of it. Because the bedsheets in this room were all white, Duan Hengye didn't notice that there was a set of clothes of the same color on top of it.
So when Duan Hengye got closer to the bed, he noticed the neatly arranged white work clothes. Speaking of which, Duan Hengye had seen similar clothes many times in Nan zhuxing before. It was the uniform for military technicians. Because Duan Hengye left in a hurry, he was still wearing the clothes he wore during the meeting. The clothes he was wearing were a little too casual, and it wasn't convenient for him to move around.
Taking advantage of the fact that there was nothing to do, Duan Hangye first changed his clothes into this white work uniform. The uniform of the military technicians was very simple, but Duan Hangye had never worn this style of clothes before. After changing into it, he had a more capable and elite temperament than usual.
Coincidentally, not long after Duan Hengye changed, he received a new notification on his optical supercomputer. The Marshal had arrived in the vicinity of the starship. After reading it, Duan Hengye followed the staff's instructions and used his optical supercomputer to program the hovercraft. Then, he flew towards the center of the starship.
There was a fast passage from Duan Hengye's workshop to the center of the starship. There was no one here, only exposed pipes and notification screens. Even though he was somewhat confident, when the hovercraft arrived, Duan Hengye still had the feeling that he was wandering around in an industrial machine. But the truth wasn't far off.
"Arrival, center of the starship." Following the robotic female voice, Duan Hengye arrived at his destination. Not long after he stepped out of the hovercraft, another light shone from the fast passage. The light was slightly dazzling, so Duan Hengye couldn't help but reach out his hand to block it. By the time his arm fell, another hovercraft had already landed beside Duan Hengye.
Meng Jinhuai and a few other familiar lieutenant-generals from the military came down together. When the Marshal saw Duan Hengye, he suddenly stood still and sighed. Then, he finally walked over and gave him a gentle hug. Even though the hug was very short and the two of them didn't say anything, they both understood the meaning behind the silence.
After the hug, a few more hovercrafts flew over one after another. Then, everyone walked towards the huge conference table in the center of the starship. Even though the first battle had ended, the situation was still grim. Meng Jinhuai needed to use this time to reorganize the manpower around him.
It wasn't hard to notice that the two lieutenant-generals from the military didn't come this time. Duan Hengye didn't want to ask about this at first, but when Meng Jinhuai saw Duan Hengye sneaking glances at the fast passage, he immediately guessed what was on Duan Hengye's mind. He then explained, "Right now, Planet Selector and a few other planets are being evacuated. Dongfang He Wen and Yu Xinlan are busy with this matter."
Duan Hengye didn't expect Meng Jinhuai to be able to guess what he was thinking, so he walked towards his seat while gently nodding at Meng Jinhuai.
The meeting lasted for more than two hours. Even though Duan Hengye didn't know much about military matters, he still listened attentively without the slightest bit of distraction. Speaking of which, before thinking about the last battle, Duan Hengye actually didn't pay much attention to the Mecha Maintainer profession. But now, after a period of preparation, he finally understood what he needed to do.
Under most circumstances, he only needed to stay on this starship. However, mecha repair was not a simple and fast thing. Once a mecha's damage rate reached a certain value in battle, the Maintainer would need to go into battle with a random mecha to deal with all kinds of accidents at any time.
After thinking about this, Duan Hengye couldn't help but put his hand into his pocket, then gently touched the Mecha Activation Medal that he carried with him. Although many people now knew that Duan Hengye's mecha piloting ability was on par with General Yu Xinlan, whether it was the military or Meng Jinhuai, they wouldn't let him pilot a mecha on the battlefield alone. Duan Hengye knew this himself, but for some reason, he still brought this medal with him.
"I hope I don't have to use it …" Duan Hengye couldn't help but think to himself as he gently touched the Activation Medal in his pocket.
When the official announcement of the end of the meeting sounded, Duan Hengye's hand moved away from the medal. Speaking of which, this medal made of special metal was always so cold. Its temperature spread from Duan Hengye's fingertips all the way to his heart. Even after his fingers moved away, the cold still didn't dissipate …
Not every room on the huge starship had windows that allowed him to see the outside world. After staying in this space for a long time, Duan Hengye couldn't even feel the passage of time anymore. It wasn't until sleepiness hit him that Duan Hengye glanced at the optical supercomputer that he realized that it had been 17 hours since he left the research institute.
After the meeting, Duan Hengye had been studying information related to mecha maintenance. Although he had already read the information over and over again, after arriving here and being influenced by the atmosphere on the starship, Duan Hengye couldn't help but carefully read the relevant documents again.
It wasn't an exaggeration to say that after this period of preparation, Duan Hengye could almost memorize all of the information. Although deep in his heart, Duan Hengye still wanted to continue reading, his rationality told him that he needed to rest now. After all, the Galaxy was currently in a special state of war. Although there weren't too many problems at the moment, danger could come at any time. As a mecha maintenance technician, Duan Hengye needed to be prepared at all times like every other mecha warrior.
Following that, Duan Hengye washed up and then fell into a deep sleep.
Speaking of which, in this era, the soundproofing everywhere was already done very well. Duan Hangye had long been used to the quiet state of the surroundings. However, this starship was different. Due to its special purpose, this place couldn't be too quiet. Similarly, for safety reasons, the people staying in the rooms had to constantly pay attention to the situation in the corridor. If there was even the slightest movement, they had to immediately get up.
Duan Hengye was a very light sleeper. Although he had been busy for more than 20 hours and was extremely tired, every time he heard the sound of someone walking in the corridor, or the sound of a hover device breaking through the air, he would immediately get up. Then, he couldn't help but turn his attention to the corridor on the other side of the wall. It was only when the sound completely disappeared that Duan Hengye was able to fall asleep again.
The military starship was always very busy. Even Duan Hengye himself couldn't remember how many times he had gotten up in one night. Every time he turned on his optical supercomputer in a daze, Duan Hengye would see that not much time had passed since the last time he woke up.
This was the first day that the League of Lisheng and the four neighboring countries launched another attack on the Yetian Empire. This day was destined to not be peaceful. In the middle of the night, Marshal Meng Jinhuai sat in his mecha and temporarily left the starship to go to Planet Selection to inspect the evacuation situation. General Dongfang He Wen, who had just returned from a mission, stayed on the starship to be responsible for the safety of the starship.
As for Yu Xinlan … there was a problem on the planet she was responsible for evacuating from. No, it was more appropriate to say that there was a big problem.
Just like how the League of Lisheng sent spies all the way to Marshal Meng Jinhuai and Duan Hengye to visit Planet Selection. On the planet Yu Xinlan was responsible for evacuating from, there were also spies mixed in. This time, the League of Lisheng was slightly smarter. They didn't directly attack the core of Nan zhuxing like before. Instead, they used a scheme to trick Yu Xinlan, who was on a mission alone, into going there.
Of course, Yu Xinlan was also someone who had climbed up from the battlefield. She immediately saw through the other party's scheme and fell into a fierce battle. Actually, Yu Xinlan had the ability to easily win, but who asked them to be on one of the evacuating planets? There were still residents around who hadn't evacuated yet.
Yu Xinlan's movements naturally became restricted. Even while defending against the other party, she was still piloting her mecha to protect the nearby residents who hadn't left yet. Yu Xinlan's mecha piloting ability was very strong, but the current situation really limited her performance.
At the end of this small skirmish, even though General Yu Xinlan piloted her mecha and successfully repelled the enemy, her mecha was severely damaged and she was also heavily injured.
Yu Xinlan piloted her mecha back to the starship.
This morning, Dongfang He Wen told Duan Hengye that their current location was considered the center of the logistics area. Other than the residential areas of the upper and middle military, there was also a dining area and a medical area.
A few hours later, Duan Hangye was once again woken up by the noise in the corridor that was separated by a wall. This time, it was different from the deliberately controlled footsteps and the sound of the hovercraft cutting through the air. This time, it was the sound of people jogging in the hallway, as well as the volume of conversations that couldn't be controlled.
Even though he knew that there were many people around him resting, the current situation was too special. In such an urgent situation, no one could immediately think of whether they should be quiet or not.
Duan Hengye rubbed his eyes and sat up from the bed. It had only been a few hours since he fell asleep, but he still hadn't completely recovered from his exhausted state. However, Duan Hengye's brain forced him to wake up the moment he heard the noise outside. He then focused on listening to what was happening in the hallway.
"… First aid kit …"
"Bleeding!"
"… Stop the bleeding first, call for help!"
"Yu Xinlan! Yu Xinlan! "
Even though the soundproofing wasn't good, the people outside were talking too fast. Duan Hengye could only vaguely hear what they were saying. However, from what they said, Duan Hengye was sure that there shouldn't be any danger in the hallway right now. It's just that … Yu Xinlan, who just went on a mission, had an accident.
When Duan Hengye thought about this, he immediately changed his clothes, opened the hatch, and walked out. He could see that not far away from him, there was a group of people huddled together. Even though the lighting in the hallway was good, there were too many people there. Duan Hengye couldn't see anything clearly in the dark.
However, after going out, Duan Hengye's ears finally became clear.
"General Yu! Don't sleep right now! "
"… Yeah, yeah, wait a minute."
"Is the nutrition chamber ready?"
Duan Hengye was sensitive enough to extract the key points from these words. He quickly walked over. In fact, Duan Hengye had been standing in the hallway for a while now. However, everyone around him was busy with Yu Xinlan, so no one noticed Duan Hengye's appearance.
Therefore, when Duan Hengye suddenly appeared here, the surrounding staff couldn't help but be surprised. They subconsciously quieted down and began to carefully think about whether they were disturbing Duan Hengye's rest. However, obviously, Duan Hengye wasn't a person who would think about this.
Even though Duan Hengye was already walking over, because he didn't know if he would disturb the doctor, Professor Duan only stood at the side, not daring to get close.
"What happened to General Yu Xinlan?" After seeing that the surrounding people didn't respond, Duan Hengye finally couldn't help but ask a person standing next to him. It wasn't until he heard Duan Hengye's words that the staff member looked back and said to Duan Hengye, "Oh … Oh, General Yu Xinlan was ambushed by the League of Lisheng just now. He was injured while protecting the surrounding residents who haven't been evacuated yet."
Hearing this, Duan Hangye nodded at the staff member who spoke to him and continued to ask, "What about your injuries now? Why aren't you sending General Yu Xinlan to the nutrition chamber? "
"It's … like this." Because he was a little flustered, the staff member couldn't help but stutter when he spoke. After he realized that he couldn't speak clearly, he first took a deep breath. After calming down a little, he continued to speak to Duan Hengye, "The nutrition chamber is being prepared. Right now, General Yu Xinlan has a mechanical armor fragment, the doctor is dealing with this thing. If the fragment isn't taken out quickly, he can't be sent to the nutrition chamber. "
"Okay." Duan Hengye frowned and nodded. The nutrition chamber could heal wounds quickly. If he was injured by a laser weapon, sending him to the nutrition chamber as soon as possible was indeed the best choice. But according to the staff member, Yu Xinlan's wound hadn't been cleaned yet. If he used the nutrition chamber right away, there was an 80% chance that the debris would grow directly into the wound. It could be said that there were endless consequences.
Because Yu Xinlan stumbled back to the starship from the side door, most of the people surrounding him were colleagues like Duan Hengye who heard the commotion and ran over from other places. Other than being anxious, there was nothing else they could do. Therefore, while Duan Hengye was talking to the staff member, the crowd in front of him finally dispersed.
Now, Duan Hengye could finally see Yu Xinlan's appearance.
He saw Yu Xinlan in a dark blue military uniform lying on the cold floor of the starship with a pained expression. The light from the ceiling of the corridor illuminated her entire face, making her look incomparably pale. Under the illumination of the light, the bloodstains on Yu Xinlan's body were even more obvious. It could be clearly seen that half of Yu Xinlan's body was drenched in blood. Especially on her left arm, there was a large piece of mechanical armor fragment stuck horizontally in it.
Duan Hengye had never seen such a scene before. Almost the instant he saw Yu Xinlan, a bloody stench rushed towards him. Yu Xinlan also noticed Duan Hengye. The woman struggled to open her mouth, but before she could say anything, she fainted.
On the first day of the war, a general of the military fell into a situation where his life was unknown.
