After Meng Jinhuai finished speaking, the place became quiet again. Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai both knew that this topic was too heavy, and the meaning behind it was too great. But now … it was obviously not a good time to talk about it.
In his previous life, Duan Hengye was a true otaku, an otaku who loved to read novels. Duan Hengye was not picky when it came to reading novels. He read all kinds of novels, and the quality of the novels varied from good to bad. The background and life experiences of the novel's protagonists were also very strange.
For example, Meng Jinhuai's background did not seem to be anything special in the novel. But when he got to know this person in real life, when this person's image changed from a simple two-dimensional image on paper to a three-dimensional, living person like this … Duan Hengye now knew — — just how cruel and terrible the description of this person's background in the original novel was.
As a Marshal, a person who had personally experienced the war, Meng Jinhuai shouldered more responsibilities and pressure than he did. Duan Hengye had heard the phrase "a general builds on ten thousand withered bones" many times, but now he finally understood that this phrase was not as simple as a poem.
For Duan Hengye, the cruelest part of reality was — — the "ten thousand withered bones" in the poem was not just a representation of nothingness, but a representation of the people he had personally seen in real life.
It was also conceivable that Meng Jinhuai was used to seeing more life and death parting, so this sentence and every victory would only mean more to him.
Duan Hengye still had not come out of his emotions. After all, this matter was too heavy. But with Meng Jinhuai's company, he seemed to have inexplicably gained some strength. At this time, it was obviously not a wise choice to complain about the work he had done in the past. The only thing Duan Hengye could do now was to record every cost of the war and then use his ability to stop the war.
Noticing that Duan Hengye's mood was gradually recovering, Meng Jinhuai gently patted him on the shoulder and said, "Alright, don't think too much for the next few days. The empire is in a special situation right now, and you have a very important mission. Rest more if you have the time. "
"Okay." Duan Hengye gently sniffed and then secretly made up his mind.
Before joining this war, Duan Hengye had already made plans for his future work — that was, to continue his research on top-level mecha, and to create even more perfect mass-produced mecha. But now, after this incident, Duan Hangye felt that he should slightly change the goal of the next stage of his research. What he wanted to do was not only to improve the mecha's attack power, but also to create more human-like mecha and pay attention to the pilot of each mecha to reduce the cost of the war.
Of course, Meng Jinhuai did not know what Duan Hengye was thinking. He only sensed that Duan Hengye's mood had improved quite a bit. Now that the war had just begun, Meng Jinhuai's work was also very busy. After seeing Duan Hengye, he returned to his office. After Meng Jinhuai left, Duan Hengye once again turned on his optical supercomputer and began to continue his research in his field of expertise.
Duan Hengye was not a person who would be easily defeated by reality. He thought that since things had already happened, then he had to use this experience as a lesson to make sure that not a single drop of the empire's blood was spilled in vain.
After living on the starship, because the change of day and night could not be seen with the naked eye, the flow of time gradually became irregular.
Sometimes, it was obvious that a long time had passed, but Duan Hengye always felt that it was just a few short hours. Sometimes, it was just a few short minutes, but it felt like an eternity.
Recently, several wars had broken out between the Yetian Empire and the League of Lisheng. The scale of these wars was not very large, and as the marshal, Meng Jinhuai, did not really participate in any of them. Even so, the entire Galaxy was still paying attention to Meng Jinhuai's actions. After a few small battles, the League of Lisheng could no longer hold back and wanted to directly provoke Meng Jinhuai.
It had not been long since Meng Jinhuai was equipped with the new top-class mecha. Although there were rumors that he was already very good at cooperating with the top-class mecha. As for how good this cooperation was, no one in the Galaxy knew for sure. In fact, the reason why the League of Lisheng was so quick to declare war on the Yetian Empire was probably because they felt that Meng Jinhuai's cooperation with the mecha was not that good. They wanted to take advantage of this situation.
However, no matter how much they tried to provoke or attack, Meng Jinhuai did not show any signs of fighting. Because both sides were still in the testing stage, the flames of war on both sides were not burning very brightly. For a time, the war entered a period of anxiety.
During this time, Duan Hengye stayed on the starship. As the days passed, Duan Hengye's life finally became a little more regular. He was no longer like before, where he would only go to sleep when he was very tired. Instead, he relied on the photon computer's timer to rewind his biological clock.
Now, Duan Hengye spent most of his time researching mecha maintenance knowledge, as well as formulating and organizing future research directions and plans. The rest of his free time was spent in the medical room. As long as he had nothing to do, he would visit Yu Xinlan.
Duan Hengye's rationality told him that Yu Xinlan was so severely injured that it was almost impossible for her to recover in a short period of time. After a period of time, Yu Xinlan's external injuries had all healed. However, all kinds of data showed that she still had a long way to go before she would wake up.
There were many times when Duan Hengye could not help but want to ask the doctor, but he was afraid that the results would not be what he wanted, so he did not ask. As the days passed, Duan Hengye did not know if it was just his imagination, but he felt that Yu Xinlan's face was getting paler and paler in the nutrition chamber. The nourishment chamber was originally filled with dark blue liquid, and Yu Xinlan looked even more fragile in the middle of this dark blue liquid.
This was a huge difference from her previous image … When a person who always had a smile on her face suddenly lost her expression, when a person who was always full of energy suddenly quieted down … The panic that this feeling brought to the people around her could not be described with words.
After this period of time, even the doctors in the medical room knew that Duan Hengye was very concerned about Yu Xinlan. Therefore, whenever Yu Xinlan's monitoring device detected any abnormalities in the data, the doctors on the military starship would immediately send a message to Duan Hengye's optical supercomputer. And no matter what Duan Hengye was busy with, after receiving the message, he would carefully look at the data and then sincerely reply and thank the doctor.
Although they were in the middle of a war, perhaps it was because Duan Hengye's starship was really far from the outside world. Duan Hengye, who was in this huge starship, did not feel that war was coming. His life seemed to be so peaceful, just like the air in the starship.
However, regardless of whether the situation was peaceful or not, Duan Hengye always remembered that they were in the middle of a war. The League of Lisheng and the other four countries were eyeing the Yetian Empire covetously and waiting for an opportunity to start a new war.
Sure enough, one afternoon, Duan Hengye's optical supercomputer flashed with a dark red light. Then, a battle report popped up on the screen. The League of Lisheng had launched another surprise attack on the Yetian Empire. This time, the location of the attack was not the surrounding small habitable planets, but a small fleet that was out on a mission.
This small fleet was responsible for the supply mission and was considered a relatively important team. This attack was definitely planned by the League of Lisheng for a long time. At this time, the position of the fleet was very important. If they could really take down this fleet, not only would they be able to seize the supplies on hand, they would also be able to pose a huge threat to the military's starship base.
Although Duan Hangye could find out more about this matter with his authority, he didn't have that much time or energy to investigate such a deep matter. Duan Hengye only knew that this time, the League of Lisheng was determined to force Meng Jinhuai to come out and fight.
This time, their plan did not fail. Meng Jinhuai did not plan and command like before. Instead, he piloted his own mecha and flew out of the base.
The news of the start of the war had not yet spread, but everyone who knew about it was focused on the war.
Especially Duan Hengye, who was the designer of the mecha.
Although the scale of the war was large, there were even more people from the military. Other than the people Meng Jinhuai took with him, there were even more people in the base. Logically speaking, they should be resting and doing their normal work, but this war affected everyone's hearts.
After Meng Jinhuai piloted his mecha and left the starship, everyone in the base began to pay close attention to the war through the military's reports. In fact, they were not only concerned about the outcome of the war, but also the performance of this new top class mecha.
Many people, including Duan Hengye, knew that the Galactic Federation and the Yetian Empire had high expectations for this "Nan Wei" mecha. They hoped that this new mecha would be able to turn the tide of the war, break the chaos of the Galactic Federation, and lead the Yetian Empire to glory.
Now that the war had officially begun, the answer was finally going to be revealed.
Although the outcome of a battle didn't mean anything, the strength of the new mecha could finally be fully displayed at this time. Almost all of the people who were paying attention to this matter were experienced military personnel. Through this war, they could more or less predict the future development of the war.
After receiving the notice that Meng Jinhuai had left the base, Duan Hengye immediately left his living quarters and took a small hovercraft to the room where he attended the meeting.
When the hovercraft landed, the lights in the conference room lit up. Duan Hengye saw that the conference room was different from the lively scene of the last meeting. Now, he was the only one in the entire conference room. It looked exceptionally cold.
The conference room was directly connected to the tunnel. When the door in the middle opened due to his arrival, the tunnel was connected to the conference room and turned into a large empty space. The floor, ceiling, and tables here were all made of metal. At first glance, it really looked exceptionally cold. Duan Hengye slowly walked towards the table. His footsteps echoed in the large space, sounding particularly lonely.
Duan Hengye wasn't a timid person, but he wasn't a very bold person either. Now that Duan Hengye was alone in this cold metal space, he also felt a sense of suffocation. However, now was obviously not the time to think about this. After entering the conference room, Duan Hengye stopped for a moment, then walked directly to the conference table. Only a small number of people knew that there was actually a super optical supercomputer from the military on this starship. Duan Hengye wanted to use this super optical supercomputer to remotely monitor the war in the Galactic Federation not far away.
Although Duan Hengye could also use his super high level of authority to receive real-time battle reports, he was obviously not satisfied with this. In addition to the simple victory and defeat of the battle, as a mecha designer, he urgently wanted to know the current operating status of the new mecha. The amount of data required for these things was simply too large. A normal optical supercomputer couldn't handle it, so this super optical supercomputer could finally be put to use.
Only Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai knew that there was a super optical supercomputer on this starship. In fact, in the entire Galactic Federation, only a very few people had ever used a super optical supercomputer. The rest of the people had only heard of this supercomputer's name, but never knew what its interface looked like.
In the imagination of a normal person, this super optical supercomputer should be no different from a normal optical supercomputer except for its slightly faster operating speed. However, as a frequent user, Duan Hengye of course had a deeper understanding of this super optical supercomputer than the average person.
He knew that in general, there really wasn't much difference between a super optical supercomputer and a normal optical supercomputer. However, in terms of specific functions, there was a huge difference between the two. For example, Duan Hengye's mecha simulation and the monitoring function he was going to use later.
After the super optical supercomputer was turned on, Duan Hengye didn't immediately tap on the screen. Instead, he reached out his hand and began to rapidly type on the virtual keyboard. Not long after, the interface of the supercomputer changed from a normal display to a series of incomparably complex data lines.
This wasn't some random code, but rather a reflection of the system entering the internal operating system of the mecha.
Unlike the mass produced mecha, Meng Jinhuai's current top-tier mecha didn't have a dedicated monitoring system. In order to ensure safety, Duan Hengye wouldn't specifically write such a system in the future. Right now, Duan Hengye had directly hacked into the backend of the mecha and began to monitor it. It sounded simple, but this kind of operation could only be done by Duan Hengye, the designer of the mecha.
Duan Hengye saw that the mecha's data was running very smoothly. It was obvious that the mecha hadn't joined the battle yet. It was only flying or in a standby mode. It was obvious that although the data codes were a little long and the combination of letters and numbers were very complicated, the speed at which the data was running was very uniform. Based on this pattern, Duan Hengye could tell that the mecha hadn't encountered any unexpected situations.
Although he knew that it was only a matter of time before the mecha joined the battle, Duan Hengye still felt a little relieved after seeing the regular data.
After adjusting the optical supercomputer to this interface, Duan Hengye took his hand off the keyboard and sat up to look at the screen. Right now, the mecha seemed to have left its standby mode. The data on the screen was gradually becoming chaotic. If a normal person were to look at the screen, they would definitely be confused by the numbers and letters on the screen. However, as a mecha designer, Duan Hengye was the best at dealing with data like this. He wasn't confused by the data. Instead, he had a serious look on his face as he carefully looked for a pattern in the complicated program and instructions.
The data on the screen was running very quickly. Because the numbers were made up of letters of various colors, Duan Hengye's face was originally only illuminated by the white light of the screen. Now, all sorts of colored lights were flashing across his face and eyes. The atmosphere became somewhat dangerous. The lights were as frightening as the warning lights before an explosion.
On the surface, it was just a series of random numbers. However, when Duan Hengye closed his eyes, he could almost see the numbers condensing into lines. Then, they extended into flat planes and formed a three-dimensional mecha moving in front of his eyes.
Through these seemingly boring numbers, Duan Hengye could see the mecha's current operating condition. This included the status of every part of the mecha, as well as the status of every miniature weapon system.
Before the Galactic Era, there were always people who said that Duan Hengye was a talented person. In reality, behind his talent was more of a hard work of study. Not every mecha designer had such a fast analytical ability. Duan Hengye could do this not only because he was the designer of the mecha, but also because of his years of practice and research.
The data on the light screen in front of Duan Hangye's eyes quickly flashed by, and through the constantly moving shadows in his eyes, the colorful data and codes on the light screen could also be reflected.
Although Duan Hengye was used to dealing with this kind of complicated data all day long, after a certain moment, the data inside the mecha began to run faster. Although Duan Hengye tried his best to decipher the fast-moving data, he still felt a little dizzy from the numbers on the screen.
Even so, he didn't dare to be distracted. Because at this moment of chaos and dizzying data, Duan Hengye knew that the mecha "Nan Wei" had entered a state of war.
While Duan Hengye stared at the super photon processor, his photon processor kept on flashing with battle reports. Among the reports were the actual situation that the system automatically sent to every person in the military, as well as the detailed data given by the highest level of authority. After combining the two, even if Duan Hangye did not turn on the video surveillance now, he would still be able to determine the current situation of the battle ahead and the state of Meng Jinhuai's mecha through these two things.
Although the mecha had already gone through a series of test flights, Duan Hengye was very confident in his design. However, the battlefield was a place of constant change. If he wasn't careful, new problems could arise that he hadn't noticed before. Today was the first official battle of the new mecha. How could Duan Hengye not be nervous?
Duan Hangye, who was sitting behind the huge conference table, crossed his hands and pressed them tightly against the table. The temperature of the metal table was very low, but Duan Hengye's hands were colder than the table's. The data showed that the battle was going well, but Duan Hengye's nervousness didn't disappear just because of this. On the contrary, as time passed, the data flow of the mecha's operation became faster and faster, and Duan Hangye's breathing also became more rapid.
During the most intense moments of the battle, Duan Hengye even held his breath. His eyes were glued to the screen, and he looked particularly nervous. It wasn't until the refresh rate of the data suddenly slowed down that Duan Hangye finally let out the breath he had been holding in.
The outcome of the battle was as expected. The Yetian Empire had won a complete victory. Similarly, Meng Jinhuai returned to the starship unscathed. As the mecha's maintainer, Duan Hengye didn't have to perform any maintenance duties. However, he saw that after knowing the outcome, no one in Nan Zhuxing was complacent. Because everyone knew that this was just the beginning. The purpose of this battle was to test out the new mecha's capabilities.
However, as the mecha's designer, Duan Hengye was very certain that they couldn't determine the strength of the new mecha through this battle. However, to be able to lure Meng Jinhuai out to participate in the first battle was a small victory for the League of Lisheng.
This battle was destined to be difficult, and today was only the first step.
Of course, these were only the thoughts of those who participated in the battle. When the news of the victory spread, the entire Yetian Empire was in an uproar. Because of the war, the atmosphere in the Empire had been dispirited for a long time.
It could be said that this matter had given the Ye Tian Empire, which had been shrouded in haze for a long time, a shot in the arm. Of course, Duan Hangye also saw everyone's discussion and felt the excitement, but he was not happy about it.
After a few days, Duan Hengye finally reached the edge of the starship. He stood near the outer wall of the starship, and through the window, he saw the long-awaited sunset. Perhaps it was due to the special geographical conditions of the starship, or perhaps it was due to the starship's high altitude, but this sunset was more spectacular than any Duan Hengye had seen before. The crimson planet sank below the horizon in front of Duan Hengye's eyes, and Duan Hengye's mood dropped bit by bit.
