The image sent by the hovering camera was extremely clear. It was hard to miss the large "S" on the screen. After the camera zoomed in, Meng Jinhuai remained silent for a long time.
As the Empire's Marshal, Meng Jinhuai knew better than anyone else what "S-level spiritual power" meant. It meant that the Marshal had the ability to operate a mech that was tens or even hundreds of times more sensitive than the average mech pilot. To exaggerate, there was an entire dimension between "S-level spiritual power" and "zero spiritual power".
In most cases, spiritual power was considered a personal secret. Only after successfully joining the mech army would the value be officially announced. The privacy system of the interstellar era, coupled with more than ten years of time, even Meng Jinhuai couldn't be sure now — whether Duan Hengye really lost his spiritual power because of an accident like the legends said, or … was all of this just a scam?
If it was an accident, when did his spiritual power recover? If it wasn't an accident, then what was the purpose of Duan Hengye hiding everything?
Although he usually appeared gentle and harmless in front of Duan Hengye, anyone who had some contact with Meng Jinhuai during work knew how terrifying the Marshal was. He was a true leader, someone who was used to having everything firmly in his hands, someone who was used to being omniscient.
However, after seeing Duan Hengye's spiritual power on the screen today, Meng Jinhuai finally had a completely unfathomable event in his life...
Duan Hengye, who was busy tinkering with the mech, didn't know that because of him, his spying spouse had begun to doubt life. This was the first time in Meng Jinhuai's life.
Judging from his achievements in ancient martial arts and research, Duan Hengye could indeed be called a genius. Although he was used to the fact that he might be a little more talented than the average person, when he saw the large "S" on the screen, the cold and aloof Professor Duan couldn't help but whisper, "F * ck!".
According to what Duan Hengye knew, only a few generals in the Yetian Empire had S rank spiritual power. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that this was a one in a billion chance … He really didn't think that the original owner had such high spiritual power before that accident.
Just like how many people on Earth once had a military dream or fantasized about becoming a pilot, almost every citizen in the interstellar era yearned to personally pilot this steel beast that symbolized the strongest technological deterrence. From this, one could see the great charm of the mecha.
At this time, Duan Hengye, who was in the cockpit of mecha L-039, was naturally very excited. However, after successfully activating the mecha, he did not move the mecha but continued to stay in place.
Duan Hangye's mind was highly focused, and then he focused all his attention on investigating the internal structure of the mecha. The night temperature of Planet Duguang was around twelve degrees Celsius, but even in such a chilly weather, Duan Hengye's forehead was already covered in fine beads of sweat. Under the illumination of the lights, it was as if a layer of fine diamonds had been laid on his forehead.
Duan Hengye was in such a hurry to pilot this mecha not only to test his spiritual power, but also to get out of the bottleneck of his research as soon as possible.
Spiritual power was a special ability that was indispensable to controlling a mecha. The higher the level, the better the ability to control the internal structure of the mecha. With S rank spiritual power and a high level of understanding of L-039, Duan Hengye only took a few minutes to comb through the entire mecha's structure with his spiritual power despite not having any prior experience.
This is it! When his spiritual power probed a certain corner of the mecha, Duan Hengye could not help but take a deep breath. His hand that was quietly hanging over the control panel slowly clenched into a fist and then loosened. This sudden stagnation of spiritual power may not be experienced by others, but for Duan Hengye, it was absolutely impossible to ignore. Because of this, his heart began to beat faster.
Meng Jinhuai also saw Duan Hengye's strange behavior on the holographic screen. He slowly clenched his fist, waiting for his opponent's next move. Seeing this, Meng Jinhuai finally understood what Duan Hengye was trying to do today. If he remembered correctly, the previous director of the Mecha Research Institute, Duan Hengye's father, was a researcher with a spiritual power of 80. Relying on his extremely high spiritual power and familiarity with the internal structure of the mecha, the previous director, Dean Duan, used only a short period of ten years to push the mecha design industry forward by leaps and bounds.
Although Meng Jinhuai possessed 3S level spiritual power, even he was unable to use his spiritual power to sense the problems within the mech's internal structure.
Duan Hengye's talent was definitely not inferior to his father's. Unconsciously, Meng Jinhuai's eyes were filled with anticipation as he watched the holographic screen. He was looking forward to the future of Duan Hengye, who possessed excellent talent and S rank spiritual power.
Duan Hengye, who was sitting in the pilot's seat, couldn't help but feel excited. However, he didn't forget about the important matter at hand. After calming himself down, Duan Hengye memorized the locations of these points. After repeatedly confirming the locations a few times, Professor Duan finally let out a sigh of relief.
Duan Hengye glanced at the time. Although he was very reluctant to leave the mecha's cockpit, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he decided to leave the mecha as soon as possible.
After slowly retracting his spiritual power, Duan Hengye didn't hesitate to press the hibernate button. At the same time, a wave of exhaustion hit him. Unlike his S-rank Spirit, although he had the help of ancient martial arts to refine his body, Duan Hangye's physical fitness was still far below the average level of the Interstellar.
Duan Hengye had been too focused on the mecha's cockpit earlier that he had neglected the discomfort in his body. When he got out of the pilot's seat, he finally felt the exhaustion wash over him. At the same time, every joint in his body began to ache, as if he had accidentally fallen from a high place.
He had only been on the mecha for about ten minutes, but he had already used up so much of his energy. Now, Duan Hengye finally had a direct experience of how strict the requirements of mecha piloting were on the human body.
Suppressing the discomfort in his body, the man in black held onto the back of the seat and slowly walked towards the exit. However, before he could walk far, Duan Hengye's vision turned black. Then, he directly fell to the ground. "Hiss." The moment his knee touched the ground, Duan Hengye couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.
At this time, Professor Duan, who had fallen in an abnormally sorry state, only had one thought in his mind. The floor inside the mecha is too hard! I must lay out a carpet for the next generation of mecha!
Coincidentally, although the miniature camera could track and record, the position where Duan Hengye had fallen was in its blind spot. Meng Jinhuai and Duan Hengye's assistant only saw that the man in the surveillance footage had disappeared from the cockpit for a long time. It was as if he had disappeared from the face of the earth.
For a moment, the two people watching the surveillance footage couldn't help but feel nervous.
Where did Duan Hengye go? Did something unexpected happen?
In Nan zhuxing, Meng Jinhuai, who was originally sitting and watching the surveillance footage, stood up from behind his desk. His lips were tightly pursed and he looked nervous. It was as if he was going to go to Amro to find Duan Hengye at any time.
Unlike the silent Meng Jinhuai, when the assistant saw that Duan Hengye hadn't come out of the mecha for a long time, he couldn't help but feel anxious.
"Sir Marshal, if necessary, I can go to the villa near Amro to take a look …" He said to Meng Jinhuai somewhat anxiously. However, before the Marshal could respond, the two finally saw Duan Hengye appear on the screen again.
Although his footsteps were still a little shaky, Duan Hengye finally managed to get up. After he walked out of the mecha, he first leaned against the wall to rest for a while. Then, he slowly used his spiritual power to retract L-039 back into the seal.
Now that there was no obstruction from the mecha and light interference, Meng Jinhuai could finally see Duan Hengye's appearance clearly. His condition was very bad. Aside from his pale face, Duan Hengye's movements when he bent down to pick up the seal were not very stable. It looked as if he had just recovered from a serious illness.
There was no doubt that Duan Hengye's appearance was very outstanding. Even the most famous movie stars in the Empire couldn't compare to him. However, in most cases, this delicate face was expressionless. But at this moment, in the middle of the night when there was no one around, Duan Hengye finally revealed some of the weakness that he usually hid. This delicate face finally had some "human".
Not long after Duan Hengye walked into the room, Meng Jinhuai cut off the image on the screen. He sat back down in his chair and sent a message to his subordinate that was very strange in the eyes of the other party. He wanted to shorten his confirmed trip to another galaxy as much as possible. Except for important matters, he wanted to move most of his work to Nan zhuxing.
