There was no one in the entire galaxy who didn't know about the Chosen Star incident, so Su Mingge naturally knew how strong Duan Hangye was. However, the concept of "knowing" was completely different from seeing this violent scene with his own eyes.
Su Mingge couldn't help but size up Duan Hengye. Then, he silently reached out his hand to support himself on the table behind him.
"You … go ahead." He forcibly dragged the topic back to the original topic.
The atmosphere was awkward.
From the first time Duan Hengye met Su Mingge, he could tell that he was a very talkative person.
After this discussion, less than half a day later, the entire Ye Tian Mecha Research Institute knew that Duan Hengye had accidentally destroyed the optical supercomputer. The Empire Research Institute had a lot of people to begin with. One person spread to ten, and ten to a hundred, and this incident quickly spread throughout the Galaxy.
Naturally, there was a lot of exaggeration in the process of spreading the news.
Therefore, when this incident finally reached Duan Hengye's ears, it became that Duan Hengye was worried about the Marshal's safety and directly destroyed the optical supercomputer in a moment of desperation.
— — No! There were a lot of things that were wrong with this statement!
Even though Duan Hengye had already given up on his image, he still couldn't help but break down when he heard the rumors. He had only destroyed an unimportant part, so why did the Galaxy spread the rumor that he had destroyed the optical supercomputer?
As a necessity for everyone in the Galaxy Era, destroying an optical supercomputer was a very troublesome matter. Duan Hengye couldn't believe that this extremely ridiculous rumor had been accepted by so many people …
Regardless, this incident brought some light to the tense atmosphere in the Research Institute. Ever since the last conflict, the Ye Tian and the League of Lisheng had never stopped fighting. The Research Institute also began to pay attention to the situation at all times. The team in charge of post-production system maintenance also worked tirelessly.
Compared to Earth, the people of the Interstellar Era had improved greatly in terms of their physical and mental strength. However, the intensity of their work still exceeded their limits.
At 3: 40 PM, a medium-sized battle had just ended. The area where the system maintenance team of the research institute was located was brightly lit. Despite the strict implementation of the schedule, the staff were still extremely tired during this period of time. The entire office area was filled with the bitter aroma of strong coffee.
At this moment, the silver-white door of the office suddenly opened automatically.
Sensing the change in light, the staff sitting by the door could not help but take a closer look. Then, he realized that the person who came was actually Duan Hengye.
No, Duan Hengye did not come alone.
The sudden sound of footsteps attracted the attention of everyone in the office. After seeing Duan Hengye, many people stood up from their seats and began to greet him.
Duan Hengye nodded at the staff and quickly walked to the center of the office. "Thank you everyone for your work during this period of time. Due to the tense situation, the maintenance team's work has been very heavy. So from today onwards, I will borrow some members from other teams to start working with you. "
Tonight, Duan Hengye did not wear the white uniform of the research institute. Instead, he wore a gray turtleneck sweater. This was a look that the staff had never seen him in before.
However, everyone only paid attention to his appearance for less than a second. After hearing Duan Hengye's words, the originally tired staff immediately perked up.
Duan Hengye transferred members from other teams?
Although they were also a member of the Yeti Empire Mecha Research Institute, the existence of the maintenance team was often a bit awkward. From the name alone, their work had little to do with the word "research". Due to the nature of their work, although they were extremely busy now, they were often bored out of their wits during non-wartime.
Although no one had publicly mentioned it before, the hidden chain of discrimination in the research institute had always existed, and they had indeed been neglected for a long time.
After Duan Hengye finished speaking, the office was quiet for a moment. However, the situation was urgent, so Duan Hengye did not give everyone time to sigh.
This office was very large, and there was no loudspeaker. In order to let everyone hear him, Duan Hengye couldn't help but raise his voice and began to redistribute the staff and work.
After the new staff distribution, a few minutes later, the maintenance team's work was back on track again, and their efficiency was greatly improved.
The maintenance team had always been in contact with the military. After work resumed, the news of Duan Hengye bringing people to the Yetian Empire border also spread to the command starship at the border of the Yetian Empire …
War always came very suddenly. Recently, Duan Hengye had been woken up countless times by sudden notifications on the optical supercomputer at night. For this work, Duan Hengye's residence was once again changed from the living area to the office area.
That night, after he arranged the work for the maintenance team and returned to his residence, the optical supercomputer lit up again within a few minutes.
After talking to Su Mingge last time, Duan Hengye had a new idea about the system modification of Meng Jinhuai's mecha. The maintenance team had been busy for the past few days, and Professor Duan had never stopped working.
He was already very sleepy, but after seeing the notification on the optical supercomputer, Duan Hengye quickly opened it and directly activated the research institute's super optical supercomputer. He quickly entered the military's internal system.
As the "General's spouse", Duan Hengye was already a member of the Nan Zhuxing by default, and he had received higher notification privileges. Therefore, even if he didn't break into the military's internal system, he still received more detailed information than normal people.
For example, Duan Hengye could tell from the optical supercomputer's notification that this war was more intense than the previous ones.
Duan Hengye was already familiar with the backend system, so he quickly found Meng Jinhuai's mecha. As soon as the projection was turned on, an extremely dazzling red light shone in through the front window of the mecha. Although the mecha's windows were coated with a special filter, Duan Hengye's vision still blurred for a moment after the flash of light.
When the light returned to normal, Duan Hengye saw that opposite Meng Jinhuai's mecha was a sea of mecha that stretched as far as the eye could see. Just by looking at the style of the mecha, one could tell that they all belonged to the League of Lisheng.
Meng Jinhuai's mecha was surrounded by the enemy!
This fact immediately drove away all of Duan Hengye's sleepiness.
The book "Star Flipping" had described many dangerous battles, but even the ones that were described as "nine deaths out of ten" had never happened to the General's mecha being surrounded by the enemy.
Duan Hengye could hear his own breathing quickening. In the real-time surveillance video, the enemy's attacks came wave after wave. Although Meng Jinhuai's operation was still accurate, it vaguely revealed that he was "outnumbered".
Seeing this scene, Duan Hengye quickly exited the holographic video and began to quickly input information into the research institute's super optical supercomputer.
Duan Hengye's intuition told him that if he didn't do something, Meng Jinhuai might really be in trouble this time.
Just like how the original owner could remotely tamper with the weapon system of Meng Jinhuai's mecha, causing the enemy to fall into a crisis. Duan Hengye could also use a similar principle to help him remotely maintain the system.
The situation was so critical that Duan Hengye didn't have time to think about whether he would be caught by the tracking system written by Meng Jinhuai again. And he also knew that compared to the sudden abnormality of the system, remote "upgrades" were very difficult to notice.
The research institute's super optical supercomputer contained the most detailed data of Meng Jinhuai's mecha. Duan Hengye had been studying it for the past few days. So after officially hacking into the mecha's internal system, he was not confused by the dazzling data. Duan Hengye pursed his lips, his eyes were fixed on the screen, his expression was very serious.
Time passed by minute by minute, the super optical supercomputer in the office illuminated Duan Hengye's face. He didn't stop inputting data for even a second, and Meng Jinhuai's mecha system was slowly being upgraded bit by bit …
Duan Hengye was busy modifying the system, so he didn't notice that Meng Jinhuai, who was piloting the mecha, frowned. Then his gaze suddenly moved away from the window, and he glanced at the mecha's internal control system.
Just a moment ago, Meng Jinhuai suddenly felt his originally tense spiritual power loosen, and his entire body become much more relaxed — — like a traveler traveling alone for thousands of miles suddenly putting down his heavy backpack. As his spiritual power relaxed, he also realized that his control over the mecha had improved significantly.
Meng Jinhuai's spiritual power was at the highest SSS-level in the galaxy, and he was piloting the most advanced mecha. For a mecha pilot of his level, even the slightest change in his spiritual power and mecha was enough to produce a qualitative change on the battlefield.
Although he was puzzled, Meng Jinhuai's mind instantly returned to the mecha.
He quickly took advantage of this change, gathered his spiritual power, and waited for the right moment.
The League of Lisheng teams saw the giant mecha that had been dodging their attacks suddenly stop. Although they were puzzled, they quickly used this opportunity to launch an attack on Meng Jinhuai's mecha.
Now's the time!
In the research institute, Duan Hengye's hand tapped heavily on the virtual keyboard, and the last command to upgrade the mecha was sent out. Meanwhile, in the cockpit of the mecha, Meng Jinhuai once again felt his control over the mecha greatly increase.
The giant mecha suddenly rose diagonally upwards, and then jumped into the depths of the encirclement, using a path that even an optical supercomputer would find difficult to analyze and plan!
Meng Jinhuai … does he have a death wish?
In the distance, Yu Xinlan couldn't help but gasp when she saw this scene. However, she quickly realized that Meng Jinhuai wasn't doing this on the spur of the moment, and he definitely didn't "have a death wish". On the contrary, he had found a "path of survival" within the encirclement, a path that even the optical supercomputer couldn't calculate.
Yu Xinlan and the soldiers of the Empire watched as the giant silver mecha shuttled through the encirclement of the League of Lisheng at an incredible angle. With his absolute control over the mecha and superb piloting skills, Meng Jinhuai left the danger zone in just five minutes.
"Area T6P-9, begin re-encirclement mode."
Meng Jinhuai's command rang out in the ears of every soldier of the Empire. Only Duan Hengye, who had secretly accessed the internal system and turned on the actual monitoring, heard it. The moment he left the encirclement, the always-powerful Marshal of the Empire finally let out a soft sigh of relief.
Three hours later, the Yetian Empire had emerged victorious in one of the most dangerous battles in recent years.
Although the League of Lisheng still hadn't surrendered, anyone who had done some research on the situation knew that final victory was just around the corner.
A silver mecha slowly descended into the inner cabin of the starship. As soon as it landed, dozens of people surrounded it. These people were all high-ranking military officers, and the two leaders were Meng Jinhuai's two generals.
Although the battle had been won, everyone's expressions were still solemn.
After the initial shock, everyone realized that Meng Jinhuai's performance was unusually good. Now, looking at the silver mecha with large patches of scorched skin, everyone began to worry that Meng Jinhuai had overexerted himself in order to achieve victory.
The cockpit door of the mecha did not open for a long time. Yu Xinlan slowly walked to the side of the other general and hesitated for a moment before saying softly, "… He Wen, should we force open the cockpit door in another minute?"
In order to prevent the mecha pilot from being trapped in the cabin due to physical exhaustion or other reasons, most mechas could be opened from the outside. Although this function itself wasn't much, in the minds of the Empire's soldiers, it had another hidden meaning — — generally, this function would only be used when the mecha pilot was in a situation.
After hearing Yu Xinlan's words, Dongfang Hewen didn't speak for a while. After a few seconds, he slowly nodded and said, "Okay."
Although the two generals didn't speak loudly, because the scene was too quiet, the conversation between the two still accurately reached everyone's ears.
For a moment, the atmosphere on the dock became extremely serious.
Yu Xinlan glanced at the photon computer hanging next to her and began to silently calculate the time.
50 seconds, the mecha didn't move.
30 seconds, the door still didn't respond.
10 seconds … The scene was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Yu Xinlan slowly closed her eyes and grabbed her photon computer.
"I'll go now —" However, before Yu Xinlan could finish her sentence, Dongfang Hewen grabbed her arm and said, "The door is open!" As a calm general, Dongfang Hewen rarely spoke like this. He was only a bit more talkative than Duan Hengye.
Following his line of sight, they saw Meng Jinhuai's mecha slowly opening the door. Then, the Marshal in a black military uniform walked out from within.
After seeing his relaxed footsteps, the people present couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Yu Xinlan, who was just about to open the hatch from the outside, couldn't help but quickly walk forward and ask, "General! Do you need to rest in the nutrition cabin now? "
The advanced nutrition cabin located on the starship could not only quickly heal external injuries but also help with the adjustment of mental power. After hearing the question, Meng Jinhuai shook his head and said, "No need." Then, under the puzzled gaze of Yu Xinlan and Dongfang Hewen, he quickly walked into the crowd.
Meng Jinhuai frowned and asked, "Where are the staff members of the technical team?"
After hearing his words, a few people in gray uniforms immediately stood out from the crowd. They saluted Meng Jinhuai.
"Mhmm." The general nodded at them, then turned to look at the two generals. "Come to my office." After speaking, he quickly left here.
Looking at Meng Jinhuai's back, Yu Xinlan, who was standing there, walked to Dongfang Hewen, then elbowed him and whispered, "Don't you think this scene is familiar?"
"…" After hearing Yu Xinlan's words, Dongfang Hewen looked at the technical staff members in front of him, who were quickly walking to the office with Meng Jinhuai. He slowly nodded.
They all remembered the day when Duan Hengye was exposed a few months ago.
Duan Hengye's original speculation was not wrong. Compared to the sudden abnormality of the system, almost no one would notice its upgrade activity.
But Meng Jinhuai was not an ordinary person.
As an SSS-level mecha pilot, Meng Jinhuai could accurately capture any change in the mecha. He was incomparably familiar with this mecha which had already gone through fire and water with him countless times. Naturally, he also knew that the instantaneous change just now was definitely not his imagination.
But … where did this change come from?
Meng Jinhuai actually had a vague answer in his heart.
The system that tracked Duan Hengye last time was written by Meng Jinhuai himself. After he called the person in charge of the technical team, he directly asked him to start using the system to check the changes in the mecha program.
In the inner room of the office, Yu Xinlan tried to sound out her question. "Lord Marshal, you … called the technical team over. What do you want?"
Meng Jinhuai slowly placed the mecha pilot's badge on the table, then nodded and said, "Someone remotely modified the mecha's program. The control of spiritual power and the smooth operation of the mecha have improved."
"But …" As a general, Yu Xinlan also had much more research on mecha than the average person. She hesitated for a moment before saying, "Modifying a mecha's program is completely different from a remote upgrade. And just now the mecha was operating at its limit, this action … "
Yu Xinlan did not finish her sentence, but the silent Dongfang Hewen unexpectedly opened his mouth to finish her sentence. "It's too complicated. There's basically no chance of success."
Meng Jinhuai did not speak. He glanced at the badge and turned on his optical computer. It showed the real-time progress of the technical team's tracking in the outer room of the office.
Although the program was very complicated, the other two generals besides Meng Jinhuai were still generals of the Empire. Although they did not know how to operate it, they could still understand it.
The technical team's inspection of the mecha's program was about to be completed. After seeing their progress, Yu Xinlan could not help but let out a long sigh. "Look … this system really doesn't … doesn't …" Before she could finish, Yu Xinlan's eyes slowly widened.
She saw a red notification flash on the optical computer. At the same time, the coordinates of a super optical computer on the other side of the Empire appeared in front of the three of them.
Yeti Empire Mecha Research Institute.
… Could it really be the Duan Hengye?
No, it could only be the Duan Hengye!
Yu Xinlan felt that she needed to calm down. Wasn't the Duan Hengye a spy sent by the Imperial family? Not long ago, he had tampered with Meng Jinhuai's mecha in an attempt to kill him. How could he have used such complicated technology to help the Marshal's mecha upgrade?
"This … Why would the Imperial family ask him to help you?" Still in shock, Yu Xinlan asked in a daze.
After hearing her question, Meng Jinhuai shook his head and said with certainty, "This is not the Imperial family's request."
"… Then?" Yu Xinlan could not help but reach out to stroke the dark red hair that hung in front of her forehead. For some reason, a few words suddenly popped into her mind — a man's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the ocean.
Duan Hengye, what the hell are you thinking?!
Meng Jinhuai did not answer her question. Instead, he picked up the mecha pilot's medal from the table and looked at it with a smile.
Yu Xinlan realized in despair that not only could she not understand the Duan Hengye, she could not even figure out what the Marshal was thinking.
After successfully locking onto the Duan Hengye, Meng Jinhuai and the two generals rearranged the mecha formation. Then, Yu Xinlan and Meng Jinhuai walked out of Meng Jinhuai's office together.
After the Ti Zexing incident, Yu Xinlan still had doubts about what Meng Jinhuai had said to her not long ago on Ti Zexing. "Duan Hengye intends to get rid of his identity as a puppet". Now, she finally admitted that Duan Hengye was indeed a person who was different from what she had imagined.
This starship was extremely large. Every high-ranking military officer had their own lounge. Just as Yu Xinlan's imagination was running wild, she accidentally walked past her own lounge. Seeing this, Dongfang Hewen stopped and asked, "Where are you going?"
"Huh?" Yu Xinlan paused for a moment before realizing that she had walked too far. "Oh, I walked past. I was thinking about something and accidentally got distracted."
Dongfang Hewen nodded and then asked, "Are you thinking about the Duan Hengye?"
"Yeah." Yu Xinlan had always been a person who spoke whatever was on her mind, especially when facing her superiors and old partners. After hearing Dongfang Hewen's words, she repeated the conversation with Meng Jinhuai last time. After she finished, she couldn't help but sigh. "I realized that I really don't understand him."
Hearing this, Dongfang Hewen looked at Yu Xinlan with an extremely strange gaze.
"Why are you looking at me?" Yu Xinlan was a little scared by the other party's gaze.
"Nothing." Dongfang Hewen shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't understand, as long as the Marshal understands." While saying this, the two just walked to the door of Dongfang Hewen's office. After he finished speaking, he directly opened the door and walked in.
Standing alone in the hallway, Yu Xinlan was still thinking about Dongfang Hewen's words. After a long time, she suddenly "tsk tsk tsk …" for a while, then suddenly realized. "It makes sense!"
