After hearing this sentence, Duan Hengye was stunned. He couldn't help but ask himself in his mind: What does Meng Jinhuai mean?
However, before Duan Hengye could think of a reason, the marshal gently patted Duan Hengye's back with his palm. He then let go of him and said, "It's time to soak in the nutrient solution."
Meng Jinhuai's words interrupted Duan Hengye's train of thought, and he followed the marshal's gaze. Sure enough. The wound on his arm that was still hideous a few hours ago had now disappeared without a trace after soaking in the nutrient solution.
Other than the new patch of skin on his left arm that was still a little red, there were no other traces of the wound that had once existed.
Although he already knew that the interstellar era's nutrition cabins were amazing. After seeing his arm, Duan Hengye couldn't help but be amazed.
Duan Hengye had never used a nutrition cabin before. Even though the wound had healed, he didn't know what to do next. Meng Jinhuai saw Duan Hengye's confusion. He got up and walked to the back of the nutrition cabin. He then clicked on the small light screen behind it.
Just as Meng Jinhuai's finger lifted from the light screen, Duan Hengye saw the dark blue liquid that had been wrapped around his arm begin to evaporate rapidly. Duan Hengye didn't know what the principle of evaporation was, but as the liquid gradually disappeared, his arm slowly began to warm up.
The moment the nutrient solution completely disappeared, the transparent nutrition cabin also slowly cracked from the middle. Even though Duan Hengye saw the process of it closing with his own eyes, he was still a little surprised to see the smooth cabin wall crack again.
Meng Jinhuai has been watching Duan Hengye from the side. He has long felt that his spouse has always maintained a sense of curiosity about the things around him. At the same time, whenever this feeling appeared, Duan Hangye's body would also emit a child-like innocence that was the complete opposite of his usual mature and steady state.
After feeling that the wound on his arm had completely healed, Duan Hengye couldn't help but sit there and stretch his arm. Because he hasn't moved for a long time and has been in the same position for a long time, Duan Hengye's muscles were slightly sore when he did these movements.
Duan Hengye was about to get up, but at this moment, Meng Jinhuai suddenly walked to his side, then slowly half-kneeled on the ground like before. Duan Hengye saw Meng Jinhuai carefully roll down his sleeves.
Then, Meng Jinhuai stood up again and stretched out his hand to Duan Hengye. Although he was frightened by Meng Jinhuai's series of movements just now, Duan Hengye finally recovered a little. He hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his right hand, and was gently pulled up by Meng Jinhuai.
Duan Hengye was wearing a black windbreaker, and when he got up, the windbreaker slipped off his shoulders. After Meng Jinhuai noticed this, he immediately stretched out his hand, then took the windbreaker that almost fell off, and put it back on Duan Hengye.
At this time, Meng Jinhuai withdrew his aura, and under the light of the lounge, his eyebrows were unexpectedly gentle. Meng Jinhuai's movements were extremely gentle. During these few minutes, Duan Hengye couldn't help but hold his breath, afraid to disturb this moment of peace.
When Meng Jinhuai finished putting on Duan Hengye's clothes, he smiled at him, then childishly reached out his hand to ruffle Duan Hengye's hair and said, "Okay, I'll be sure to keep your arms warm during this time."
… Duan Hengye's ears instantly turned red.
Since the establishment of Amro University, the school had never been closed for such a long time. Two days after the incident, the school's daily operations were suspended, and people from the military entered Amro and began to use professional equipment to search every corner of the campus for weapons.
Amro's campus was huge, and even though the military had ample manpower, it still took two full days to complete this task. During this time, the students whose movements were restricted collectively turned on their photon computers out of boredom, and then began to discuss this matter with the netizens on the galactic web …
Starting from the morning of the day after the incident, some of the students from the mecha department who had been used as' hostages' returned to their dormitories. Still feeling unsettled, they also began to describe Duan Hengye's elegant demeanor on the galactic web, just like the previous batch of students.
As witnesses to the second half of the incident, they had the deepest impression of Duan Hengye's performance after his arms were bound. Each and every one of the students of Amro was worthy of being called 'top students'. Although the mecha department's specialization was a little more logical, everyone's writing was still very impressive.
Thus, while the netizens on the galactic web had yet to recover from the shock of the previous day's incident, several logically clear and smoothly written posts appeared on the galactic web. Even though the people who wrote the posts were different, one thing was in common — — Duan Hengye's image in the posts was incomparably stunning.
Even though the netizens had watched the live broadcast of the nominee, the description of 'flying' in the posts still made their hearts itch uncontrollably.
Unfortunately, this incident didn't happen in the live broadcast. The day after the incident, Duan Hengye was escorted back to the research institute by military personnel, temporarily suspending his teaching duties at Amro University.
The virtual model of the mecha had already been tested by the photon computer, and after a period of preparation and review, the mecha manufacturing site at the research institute was finally open for business after so many years.
Under normal circumstances, mass production of a mecha would only take a little over half a day to complete the precise assembly work. However, a newly designed mecha like 'Nanzhu' needed to be assembled at a specialized manufacturing site, and this process usually took two weeks.
After Duan Hengye returned to the research institute, he would take a hovercraft to the manufacturing site after completing his daily research. Now that five days had passed, the internal assembly of the mecha was still some time away, but from the outside, it looked no different from the virtual model on the photon computer.
Looking at the silver mecha in front of him that hadn't been painted yet, Duan Hengye's heart was full of satisfaction. Even though the mecha's assembly work was completely done by the mecha operators, even if he was the designer, he wouldn't be able to do anything. However, no matter how busy he was every day, Duan Hengye still took time out to watch the assembly.
Of course, Duan Hengye wasn't the only one who was curious about the new mecha. There were less than ten people in the research institute who had the authority to watch the production site. Over the past five days, these people, like Duan Hengye, would come to watch the production site from time to time … In addition, General Yu Xinlan, who was currently in charge of monitoring the research institute's security on the planet, also liked to do this.
Today, Duan Hengye's work was relatively easy, he was already at the manufacturing site at one o 'clock in the afternoon.
Unlike what he imagined a factory to be, this place that nurtured all the new mechas of the Yetian Empire looked very much like an egg on the ground. In order to enter the manufacturing site, he had to go through more than ten identity verification procedures.
"… Identity verification complete. Nan Zhuxing: Duan Hengye, President of the Yeti Empire Mecha Research Institute."
After completing the last verification procedure, Duan Hengye finally walked into the manufacturing site. This was a ten meter long silver corridor. After Duan Hengye walked in, the door behind him slowly closed. After another ten seconds of waiting, the door in front of him opened at the same speed.
At this time, Duan Hengye saw that there was someone standing inside the manufacturing site.
The person was wearing the white uniform of the research institute, his dark brown hair was tied up behind his head. His hands were gently placed in his pockets, and he was currently looking up at the mecha in front of him. His posture was very elegant. Duan Hangye recognized the man's identity from his hairstyle and height, but before he could call out his name, the man in white standing in front of him slowly turned around after hearing the delay of a few seconds from the opening of the manufacturing point's door.
He nodded at Duan Hengye and said, "Professor Duan, good afternoon."
"Good afternoon, Professor Su." After that, Duan Hengye walked to his side. This was the best angle to observe the mecha assembly.
During this period of time, in the eyes of the research institute colleagues, the relationship between Duan Hengye and Su Mingge had unknowingly changed from a mutual dislike to a friendly working partner.
Duan Hengye was not as cold as he appeared to be on the surface, and Su Mingge was also a person who liked to gossip a lot. Therefore, because most people didn't have access to the manufacturing site, most people still didn't know that Duan Hengye and Su Mingge's relationship had gradually become closer as they watched the mecha assembly equipment and chatted with each other.
When he saw Duan Hengye coming over, Su Mingge took his hands out of his pockets. He then crossed his arms and looked up at the mecha. He said to Duan Hengye, "When I was an undergraduate, I studied mecha design, but after my master's, I began to focus on mecha weapon system research. I didn't think much of it before, but now that I've seen a complete mecha being slowly assembled … this process is indeed very fulfilling. After watching it, I'm a little envious of you. " Although Su Mingge said this, in fact, his tone didn't contain much "disappointment" or "envy".
Everyone in the research institute had ten thousand percent passion and love for their profession, let alone a vice dean like Su Mingge. Duan Hengye knew that the reason why Su Mingge said this to him was because he was attracted by the process of the mecha being assembled day by day from nothing.
Duan Hengye also looked up at the mecha, and then said casually to Su Mingge, "If you don't compare it to mass production, this assembly process isn't actually that slow. I estimate that it'll be done in the next week."
"Is that so?" Su Mingge couldn't help but raise his voice. "Remember to call me when the time comes. Let's go watch the new mecha test flight together."
The mecha test flight would be carried out on a special planet. Duan Hengye nodded and said, "Okay. I'll let you know when the time is set."
Su Mingge was originally focused on the mecha, but when he heard Duan Hengye say "when the time is set", he suddenly turned around and asked Duan Hengye, "Will you be going back to Amro University in the near future?"
There were three rows of control desks in this huge manufacturing room, and behind each control desk was a silver leather chair. Seeing this, Duan Hengye slowly walked to the control desk, pulled out a chair, and sat down. He thought for a moment, then shook his head at Su Mingge and said, "Not for now. Amro University's investigation hasn't ended yet."
Su Mingge also sat down with Duan Hengye. Hearing this, he nodded and said, "I remember that this semester is about to end. Stopping classes at this time won't have much of an impact."
Unlike Duan Hengye, who had been secretly groomed by the royal family, Su Mingge was a formal graduate of Amro University's Mecha Department. Although he had graduated many years ago, Su Mingge still magically remembered the school holidays.
"But …" After saying this, Su Mingge suddenly shook his head at Duan Hengye, and then said to him with a look of admiration, "You're really amazing. You've actually taught so many classes for the Mecha Department already. People like me who can't stand children can't be teachers. "
Just based on appearance alone, Su Mingge was actually no different from Duan Hengye's group of students at Amro University. So when these words came out of his mouth, there was a sense of dissonance that arose spontaneously …
Duan Hengye thought about it carefully. He didn't know if it was because he was usually more serious, but the Amro Mecha Department students were actually very obedient in class. The reason Su Mingge had this impression was probably because he had taken himself into the identity of a student back then.
Of course, Duan Hengye only thought about this for a moment; he didn't say it to Su Mingge.
As a somewhat talkative person, even though Duan Hengye wasn't the least bit cooperative as a chatterbox, Su Mingge was always able to find a new topic to talk about after the silence had broken.
He was a person who spoke whatever came to mind. Just now, after talking to Duan Hengye about "those kids at Amro University", Su Mingge suddenly remembered something that had been buried in his heart for a long time.
Duan Hengye saw that Su Mingge's expression, which had been leisurely looking up at the mecha just a moment ago, had suddenly changed. Immediately after, the other turned to look at him with some hesitation, and then asked, "There's something … I don't know if it's appropriate, but uh … I'm still quite curious."
Duan Hengye remembered that when he had just transmigrated into "Toppling Stars" and met Su Mingge for the first time, the other seemed to have gathered a group of people to "badmouth" him. And after discovering that he had heard those words, Su Mingge's expression had also been quite disdainful.
He couldn't figure out why Su Mingge, who hadn't even been embarrassed at that time, would have such a hesitant expression on his face now.
After seeing Su Mingge's expression, Duan Hengye knew that what Su Mingge wanted to say was definitely not something good, but in the end, curiosity still defeated Duan Hengye. But before Duan Hengye nodded in agreement, Su Mingge suddenly sighed, and then said to himself, "Forget it, I can't bear it. What I want to ask is, that time when I met you at the House of the Marshal's banquet. "
That time when you met me at the House of the Marshal's banquet? Duan Hengye didn't react for a while, and after seeing that he was ready to recall carefully, Su Mingge then added, "That is, are you planning to have a child recently?"
"…"
Duan Hengye finally remembered that what Su Mingge said was probably the most embarrassing moment of his life. At the thought of this, Duan Hengye's face instantly turned red, and then his ears began to buzz.
At the banquet at the military headquarters, he met Dongfang You and learned that she had two fathers. Then, driven by curiosity, he took out the optical computer to search for relevant information. And Su Mingge happened to see this scene.
After hearing Su Mingge's question, Duan Hengye felt that it was necessary for him to explain this problem. He cleared his throat, but before he spoke, he heard the sound of the door opening from the corridor of the manufacturing point. Because of the nervousness of Su Mingge's question just now, Duan Hengye, who was focused on his memories, didn't notice that another person walked into the room.
At the same time when the prompt sounded, Duan Hengye couldn't help but turn around and look at the door. Then he saw Yu Xinlan, who was wearing a military uniform and smiling at him awkwardly.
"Hahaha … I didn't hear anything, I didn't hear anything." After seeing Duan Hengye looking at her, Yu Xinlan raised her hand with an awkward smile, then touched the back of her head stiffly. Today, Yu Xinlan was wearing a capable dark blue military uniform, and her clothes and the General's badge on her shoulder were in sharp contrast to her awkward expression at this time.
Well, even though Yu Xinlan said so, with Duan Hengye's understanding of her, it was estimated that in these few seconds, Yu Xinlan had already planned the process of snitching in her mind. That's right, now Duan Hengye knew General Yu very well.
Whether Yu Xinlan snitched or not, and who did she snitch to, Duan Hengye didn't know for the time being.
Just as he expected, the assembly of the mecha "Nanzhu" went very smoothly, and the speed was faster than expected. After another week, the assembly of "Nanzhu" finally reached the final step.
Today was a big day for both Duan Hengye and the Yeti Empire Mecha Research Institute. In order to witness the birth of the mecha with his own eyes, Duan Hengye canceled all research tasks for the day.
Even though it was a private event, as the Marshal of the military, Meng Jinhuai, rushed over to witness this moment with him.
The mecha manufacturing area of the research institute was very large, and Meng Jinhuai's mecha was also manufactured here in the past. Therefore, even though there was already a mecha and dozens of people in the manufacturing area at this time, the indoor space was still very spacious.
As the director and the designer of the mecha, Duan Hengye used the super optical supercomputer in the research institute to confirm the safety of the follow-up data before coming to the site. Therefore, when Duan Hengye finally arrived at the manufacturing area, the other participants of the event were already there, including Meng Jinhuai.
A notification sounded in the corridor of the manufacturing area. At this time, the assembly of the mecha was about to be completed, and the manufacturing area was very quiet. After hearing the prompt from the corridor, everyone turned around at the same time to look in the direction where Duan Hangye had come from.
Although today's event was not open to the public, today's event was still considered a "ceremony", and all the participants were dressed in formal wear. However, because the final confirmation had just finished, Duan Hengye was worried that he would miss the important moment if he came late. At this time, he did not change his clothes. He was still wearing the white robe of the research institute.
The silver light in the corridor shone from behind Duan Hengye. In the eyes of the people in the manufacturing area, Duan Hengye's white robe was simply stunning. It was obviously an ordinary lab coat, but with Duan Hengye's expression and the light, it gave off a sense of holiness.
The assembly of the mecha was nearing the end, and the assembly could be completed at any time in the next few minutes. However, when Duan Hengye entered the door, everyone's eyes could not help but stick to him. It was as if they had forgotten about the mecha in front of them.
… Duan Hengye was frightened by the stares of these people.
Seeing this, Duan Hengye quickly glanced at the crowd, then quickly walked to Meng Jinhuai's side. Speaking of which, Meng Jinhuai had been in Nan zhuxing recently, and the two of them had not seen each other for a long time. Although Duan Hengye usually did not feel anything, at this time, after being stared at by so many strange eyes, he finally felt relieved when he walked to Meng Jinhuai's side.
Duan Hengye was less than a meter away from Meng Jinhuai. Meng Jinhuai suddenly stretched out his hand and called out in front of everyone, "A Heng."
By now, Duan Hengye was used to Meng Jinhuai calling him that. When he saw Meng Jinhuai's outstretched hand, he habitually placed his hand on Meng Jinhuai's palm. Then, the two of them stood side by side, then raised their heads and looked at the mecha.
After hearing Meng Jinhuai call out "A Heng", the people who were amazed by Professor Duan finally realized that they were the third wheel. In an instant, everyone in the hall who participated in the event woke up and looked at the mecha together.
Speaking of which, the external assembly of the mecha "Nanzhu" had been completed a long time ago. Now, the final installation of the light screen should be done inside the mecha. Although the people outside could not see the progress inside the mecha, this did not mean that they did not know when the assembly of the mecha would be completed.
When the light screen showed that the assembly of the mecha had stopped at 99%, everyone's eyes gathered on the assembly robots hanging next to the mecha.
Once the assembly of the mecha was completed, the robots would start up again. Then, they would engrave the code and name of the mecha on the outside of the mecha.
Time passed little by little. Everyone held their breaths. Although Duan Hengye was confident that there would be no problems, he still felt that his hand, which was already not warm to begin with, had become cold again. Suddenly, Meng Jinhuai, who had been holding Duan Hengye's hand all this time, slowly pulled his hand over.
Before Duan Hengye could react to what Meng Jinhuai wanted to do, he felt his right hand being wrapped by Meng Jinhuai's hand and put into the pocket of his military uniform. Then, his cold right hand instantly warmed up.
At this moment, someone exclaimed in a low voice. Then, Duan Hengye looked up and saw the black robot hanging on the side of the mecha move. Everyone stared at it nervously. The robot first flashed a blue light, then slowly moved closer to the mecha and slowly engraved the words "Nanzhu" on the side of the mecha.
Out of selfishness, Duan Hengye did not use the characters in the font library. Instead, he used his own handwriting.
Due to the distance, no one could see the words "Southern Zhu" clearly for the time being. However, the moment the robot finished carving the words and left, a burst of applause broke out in the room.
Duan Hengye let out a long sigh of relief. Before he could react, Meng Jinhuai gave him a hug.
"Congratulations," Meng Jinhuai said in Duan Hengye's ear.
Perhaps this was supposed to be an exciting and warm moment … but there was someone who ruined the atmosphere once again. After Meng Jinhuai said "congratulations" to Duan Hengye, Yu Xinlan who was standing not far away from Duan Hengye couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. Then, she sighed and said, "This scene is really like a child being born …"
Duan Hengye thought that he might have misunderstood General Yu. Maybe Yu Xinlan didn't "snitch" but simply shared this gossip with the public.
… It's over. This time, I won't be able to explain myself!
Just as Yu Xinlan finished speaking, the people around her fell into a strange silence. Only Su Mingge couldn't help but burst out laughing. Then, he reached out and patted Yu Xinlan's shoulder.
"General Yu really knows how to talk," Su Mingge praised sincerely.
