That night, time seemed to have passed by very quickly. During this period of time, Duan Hangye's design of a new generation of mecha that could be mass-produced had reached the final stage. Every time they met Meng Jinhuai, the two of them would have a good discussion about this problem.
Even though Meng Jinhuai had never piloted a mass-produced mecha before, as a marshal of the Empire, his understanding of mecha combat was far above Duan Hengye's. Therefore, every time Duan Hengye listened to Meng Jinhuai's conversation, he would gain new inspiration.
Duan Hengye couldn't help but cook a little more tonight, so as they ate and talked about work, time slipped away unknowingly. Even though the Star Web was currently bustling with activity, the two of them had already forgotten about the little episode just now.
Even though he had never been to Duan Hengye's residence on Planet Duguang before, halfway through dinner, Meng Jinhuai went straight to the wine cabinet and took out a bottle of red wine.
Duan Hengye had long noticed that Meng Jinhuai would always drink a bottle of red wine during dinner when his work was more relaxed. Duan Hengye stopped the robot at home, but he could tell that even though Meng Jinhuai's cooking skills were average, the way he poured the wine was very smooth and elegant.
Meng Jinhuai smoothly poured the wine into the glass in front of him, as well as Duan Hengye's.
In his previous life, Duan Hengye was addicted to carbonated drinks such as cola and didn't have much interest in wine. After transmigrating to this world, Duan Hengye realized in despair that … there was no beverage he liked in the Interstellar Era.
However, even though Duan Hengye wasn't very interested in wine, to be honest, he was a little curious about the taste of the wine in his house.
Therefore, when Meng Jinhuai poured the wine for Duan Hengye, he didn't stop him. After a while, Duan Hengye couldn't help but pick up the wine glass in front of him and take a sip.
This wine was brewed by the Amro Food School. The alcohol content wasn't high, and it had a bit of fruity taste, somewhat like a beverage. After tasting it, Duan Hengye was a little surprised. During dinner, Professor Duan sipped the entire glass of red wine one mouthful at a time.
However, Duan Hengye was used to his body from his previous life, and he forgot that his current alcohol tolerance … wasn't high at all.
After dinner, the only cleaning robot left in the house came over. Duan Hangye looked at the time. It was already past 10 PM on Planet Crossing Light. He gently placed his hand on the table and to's to to stand. But soon, Duan Hengye realized that even though the alcohol content wasn't high, he was still a little drunk …
Fortunately, Duan Hengye was a person with good alcohol tolerance. He didn't talk nonsense after getting drunk, he only felt very sleepy.
Duan Hengye rubbed his eyes in a daze. He didn't know what he looked like right now.
Duan Hengye was wearing loose and comfortable casual clothes. Because he was a little drunk, his usually pale skin had a faint blush. When he saw Duan Hengye immediately walk to the stairs, Meng Jinhuai, who had been beside him, silently reached out his hand and helped Duan Hengye up.
"Be careful of the stairs," said Meng Jinhuai.
Duan Hengye's reaction was half a beat slower. When he heard Meng Jinhuai's words, he paused for a second before slowly saying, "Oh". He held the railing and walked up to the second floor.
After coming up, facing this row of doors, Duan Hangye's brain, which was gradually slowing down, finally remembered one thing, a very important thing — —
The mansion that Amro gave him wasn't large, and it was originally for him to live in. For convenience, the largest room on the second floor was transformed into an office by Duan Hengye. Other than the bedroom, there was only one empty room left on the entire floor. Unfortunately … that room had just become a warehouse for idle robots.
When Meng Jinhuai saw Duan Hengye standing there without moving, he couldn't help but ask him, "What's wrong?"
After hearing the question, the sleepy Professor Duan slowly turned around and told Meng Jinhuai the truth, "There's only one bedroom here."
Unlike the grand bedroom in the House of the Marshal, the bedroom on Planet Duguang was a bit shabby. In addition to the overall size, the bed was only 1.5 meters wide … Even though this size was indeed a "double bed", Duan Hengye, who was used to being alone, couldn't imagine what it felt like to be squished together with two people.
Even though this person was Meng Jinhuai, even though they had slept on the same bed before. But that was different! Duan Hengye wasn't used to this kind of distance.
After Duan Hengye finished speaking, Meng Jinhuai calmly looked at the three closed doors in front of him. Then, the marshal turned around and asked Duan Hengye, "Okay, which one?"
"…"
There didn't seem to be anything wrong with the marshal's question.
11: 30 pm on Planet Duguang. Duan Hengye was in a deep sleep because he drank some wine. His back was facing Meng Jinhuai, and his whole body was hanging on the edge of the small double bed. From Meng Jinhuai's point of view, it was a bit funny and a bit pitiful.
Seeing that it was late at night, Meng Jinhuai slowly moved over and pulled Duan Hengye over from the edge of the bed. Then, he covered him with the blanket.
Meng Jinhuai's night vision was good, and there was a small night light in the corner of the room. At this moment, Meng Jinhuai could see Duan Hengye's face very clearly.
The small night light shone from not far away, and Duan Hengye's facial features looked surprisingly soft under the light. At the same time … from Meng Jinhuai's point of view, Duan Hengye's face also had a thin layer of cute fluffy hair.
In the eyes of most people, Duan Hengye was cold in both appearance and temperament. Normally, almost no one would use the word "cute" to describe him.
But tonight, after seeing Duan Hengye's cheeks lit up by the night light, Meng Jinhuai finally …
He couldn't help but reach out and carefully poke Duan Hengye's cheek.
Although Duan Hengye was very thin, his face was not as thin as a skeleton like those who were seriously ill. On the contrary, there was still some flesh on his face that protected his bones.
After gently touching his cheek, Meng Jinhuai, who was half sitting on the bed, suddenly looked like he had seen something fun. He couldn't help but laugh softly.
After a long time, the Marshal finally laid down again. He then gently said a "good night" to Duan Hengye who was already sound asleep.
After that night, Duan Hengye once again returned to his busy working state.
Because the design of the new mecha was about to be completed, Duan Hengye's mind was at its smoothest. He collected all the first-hand information he collected from the military some time ago. He compiled all of it into the military's super optical supercomputer and began to research without sleep or food.
Before Duan Hengye, although the military and the research institute worked closely together, there was never a designer who had so much confidential information for reference. After analyzing the information, Duan Hengye's mind became more open.
Just as the mecha model was about to be officially released, Duan Hengye even temporarily stopped his work on Planet Duguang and stayed in the research institute.
Although the research institute's work had begun to be systematic, this type of mecha upgrade was still within the scope of other people's abilities. Therefore, other than sometimes Duan Hengye purposely looking for Su Mingge or the various team leaders to discuss related issues, the dean's office door was always closed.
Currently, although the members of the Yeti Empire Mecha Research Institute vaguely knew that Duan Hengye was busy with the mecha upgrade, no one knew how his progress was.
In most cases, mecha upgrade was not a simple task. The main person in charge would often spend a few years on it. Therefore, in most people's minds, this project was only in the middle of the design process.
In short, no one expected that this project that was supposed to be in the middle of the design process was already in the middle of the design process.
Late one night, Duan Hengye sat alone in his office and gently placed his hand on the model generation button of the photon computer.
Duan Hengye glanced at the time on the corner of the screen. After such a long period of intense research, he finally realized just how long he had been working like a madman. Duan Hengye couldn't help but take a deep breath and retract his hand from the model generation button.
What Duan Hengye was going to do next was to generate a mecha virtual model. This was an irreversible step. Once the model was officially generated, the photon computer would display a detailed simulation of the mecha — just like the one that appeared in Amro's classroom. This model would contain all the data of a mature mecha. It could even be sent directly to the mecha manufacturer to be manufactured.
However, although the model could be manufactured, according to intergalactic convention, before the actual manufacturing process, the virtual model would have to be tested and simulated under various conditions in the photon computer.
If there was a mistake in the calculation of the model or the data, then the simulation wouldn't be completed smoothly. Once the data was generated, it would be irreversible. If they wanted to change it, they would have to start all over again. This was a test for the new mecha, but it was also a test for the researchers.
Even though Duan Hengye's mental fortitude was top-notch, he couldn't help but pause when the model was about to be generated.
If … there was a mistake in the design of the mecha, then a few months of work would go down the drain.
Other than a bunch of incorrect data, he wouldn't be able to obtain anything.
Recently, Duan Hengye had been busy with research. Once again, he stayed in the laboratory. Because he hadn't left the house, his hair had grown quite a bit. Duan Hengye didn't notice that his hair could now be pulled up into a small ponytail.
While he was waiting, a strand of slightly longer black hair fell from his forehead and swept across Duan Hengye's eyes, drawing his attention back to the data itself.
Because it hadn't been used for a long time, the super photon computer entered a rare temporary hibernation mode. The screen that was originally constantly jumping suddenly quieted down. Duan Hengye once again looked at the densely packed data on the screen.
Finally, Duan Hengye looked at the screen and took a deep breath. Then, he closed his eyes and pressed the generate button in front of him.
Although the mecha data was huge, the super photon computer's calculation speed was also unimaginably fast. However, the moment he pressed the button, a small black mecha model appeared in front of Duan Hengye.
The screen dimmed. Duan Hengye felt the change in light and slowly opened his eyes. If there was a mistake in the model data, it should have been a red light. After opening his eyes and seeing that the mecha model was successfully generated, Duan Hengye slowly let out a sigh of relief.
Although the follow-up test hadn't started yet, being able to successfully assemble the model proved that there was no mistake in the calculations.
After a short moment of absent-mindedness, Duan Hengye finally became excited like any successful researcher. Although it was already late at night at the research institute, Duan Hengye wasn't sleepy at all. He looked at the mecha model. After hesitating for a moment, he sent out the basic model data.
There were tens of thousands of simulation experiments. The sooner they started, the sooner they would be finished.
From tonight onwards, the mecha model that didn't have a name yet, but was destined to rewrite the history of the galaxy officially entered the simulation experiment state. Logically speaking, after the mecha data began the experiment, the researchers couldn't make any changes to the data until the experiment was finished.
Duan Hengye could have used this time to rest, but he received a notice yesterday telling him that his long-awaited vacation wouldn't start as planned.
Because while Duan Hengye was working hard, another incident that was described in detail in "Star Flipping" happened. This was supposed to be a story where the female lead shone brightly and met famous people from all over the world. But when it came to Duan Hangye … it became a great calamity that had to be overcome.
The emperor of the Yetian Empire was celebrating his birthday. As a "scientist orphan adopted by the Empress family", Duan Hengye, who was deeply involved with the royal family, was obviously invited.
Duan Hengye was about to return to the first place he went to when he transmigrated into the book. He wasn't happy at all. On the surface, this birthday banquet had nothing to do with Duan Hengye. However, Professor Duan, who had been working half-heartedly recently and had been threatened by the royal family several times, knew that this banquet was definitely not an easy event for him.
It could be seen from the Ti Cexing incident that the Ye Tian royal family was no longer satisfied with their low-key status. This royal banquet was previewed on the Star Web a long time ago, and later on, celebrities from all over the empire were invited.
Although the royal family and Nan zhuxing were not on good terms, they didn't completely tear off the disguise. As the marshal, Meng Jinhuai was still one of the invited guests.
There was still an hour before the banquet officially began. Even though they had already arrived at the capital planet's jurisdiction. According to the royal family's regulations, before the banquet officially began, this starship from Nan zhuxing couldn't land at will.
Therefore, even though it had been in the vicinity for a long time, the black starship continued to fly around the capital planet.
The starship slowly circled around the capital planet, looking very leisurely, but the people inside the starship had nothing to do with the word "leisurely".
The royal family made it clear that this event was going to be a big event. Before the banquet even began, the relevant person in charge of the royal family gave a very traditional dress code to every guest.
The relevant personnel from the military were very efficient. They had already prepared formal attire for Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai. However, after suddenly receiving this code, they could only contact the designer again and work overtime to design it.
In this day and age, it was very easy to make a dress, but designing it according to the royal family's dress code was very difficult.
The poor designer worked overtime for the past few days to come up with several drafts. After many rounds of confirmation, the final product was finally sent over when Duan Hengye boarded the starship.
In general, as the marshal, Meng Jinhuai was fine. After all, he only needed to wear the military attire. As for Duan Hengye … he had to hurry up and change his clothes piece by piece.
At this time, the man in the mirror was wearing a white slim-fit robe — this was the traditional style of the Yetian Empire. In Duan Hengye's eyes, it looked a little like the long robes that were popular in China a hundred years ago, but it was more slim-fit. As for the details of this dress, they could be seen if they got closer. This was a satin white robe with many star patterns embroidered with golden silk thread. It looked extremely gorgeous under the light.
The robe had narrow sleeves and was decorated with a few jade cufflinks. It just so happened to match the same material on Duan Hengye's chest.
Before this dress, Duan Hengye had already tried on a few clothes that he thought were extremely pompous. Therefore, after putting on this dress, Duan Hengye finally let out a sigh of relief.
The royal family of the Yetian Empire worshipped luxury. This was something that Duan Hengye knew a long time ago. However, it didn't mean that he could accept extremely pompous traditional clothes on his body.
Duan Hengye looked at the sapphire blue dress that was studded with gems in the robot's hand. He said to his assistant, "You don't have to try anymore, just use this one."
Upon hearing this, the assistant glanced at the gown that had been left out in the cold with a conflicted expression. He originally wanted to dutifully persuade Meng Jinhuai to try again, but after seeing the other party's expression, the assistant, who was already familiar with Meng Jinhuai, finally swallowed the rest of his words.
"Okay, Professor Duan." The robot walked down with the clothes, and at this time, Meng Jinhuai, who had also changed his clothes, walked over.
There were more styles of military uniforms than Duan Hengye expected. Usually, Meng Jinhuai liked to wear a black military uniform. However, today, he wore a white, or rather, silver military uniform.
Other than the dark golden pattern, the only decoration on this uniform was the glory medals on Meng Jinhuai's chest.
On the shoulder of the double-breasted silver military uniform, there was an extremely long cloak that almost reached the ground. Meng Jinhuai was a little taller than Duan Hengye. With this cloak, Duan Hengye felt an indescribable sense of oppression just by standing there.
After seeing Meng Jinhuai, the assistant gave him a simple greeting and then left. Meng Jinhuai looked at Duan Hengye and suddenly reached out his hand.
Duan Hengye was surprised by Meng Jinhuai's sudden approach. However, he quickly realized that Meng Jinhuai was helping him adjust his sleeves. Meng Jinhuai's movements were very gentle and his expression was very serious.
Meng Jinhuai's fingers gently rolled down the sleeves that were accidentally rolled up. After adjusting Duan Hengye's clothes, Meng Jinhuai finally raised his head. The Marshal smiled at Duan Hengye and said, "Okay, the starship is about to land."
While Meng Jinhuai was talking, the giant starship belonging to the military slowly passed through the clouds of the capital planet and flew towards a large mecha parking area. From the moment the starship saw the parking area to the moment it landed steadily, the entire process took less than a minute.
When the starship stopped, a hover device responsible for receiving the starship was connected to the exit of the starship. Duan Hengye, Meng Jinhuai, and the two generals from the military walked to the exit of the starship together. The moment they were about to board the hover device, Meng Jinhuai suddenly reached out and firmly held Duan Hengye's hand.
… This wasn't the first time Duan Hengye held hands with someone in public, but he couldn't help but be shocked.
The scale of this banquet had nothing to do with the word "low-key". Before the hover device reached the banquet hall, Duan Hengye saw rows of reporters waiting there. It was now the last few minutes of the entrance ceremony. Other than the host of the banquet, there were only a few VIPs from Nan zhuxing left.
There were still some people waiting at the entrance, but when they saw the hover device flying towards them, all the Star Web media's cameras adjusted at the same time and focused on where the hover device was going to land.
Every reporter who was familiar with the process knew who was on the hovercraft.
Under the gaze of hundreds of reporters, the silver hover device slowly came to a stop on the ground. Then the door opened. Yu Xinlan in a gorgeous black dress was the first to walk down, followed by Dongfang Hewen.
In addition to Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai, these two generals who had never attended a royal banquet also received a lot of attention from the media. Unfortunately, the two of them didn't stay in front of the cameras for long. After a simple greeting, the two walked straight into the banquet hall.
However, before the media saw Meng Jinhuai and Duan Hengye appear on camera, something unexpected happened. No one appeared in front of the hovering device, but another similar silver-white hovering device landed here.
After seeing the familiar pattern on the hovercraft, the media, who had been waiting here according to the entry order, were collectively dumbfounded. What's going on? Why did the emperor and Empress of the Yetian Empire come early?
Looking at this … I'm afraid today's event will be more exciting than expected.
