After Meng Jinhuai posted the photo, he turned off his optical supercomputer. Even though Meng Jinhuai did not look at the photo again, he could imagine how lively the Star Web would be after the photo was posted.
The Star Web was also powered by a super optical supercomputer. Even with such high computing speed, after Meng Jinhuai posted the photo, the Star Web social system still lagged for five minutes.
After receiving the notification and seeing the thumbnail, everyone wanted to open Meng Jinhuai's account to see the bigger picture. Due to receiving too many similar requests at the same time, the Star Web system also fell into a state of processing lag.
It was not an exaggeration to say that in this day and age, everything in people's lives depended on the Star Web. In everyone's impression, this was the first time such a thing had happened to the powerful interstellar network system. Even though the web page could still be browsed, after seeing that it was five to six times slower than usual, everyone could not help but praise Meng Jinhuai and Duan Hengye's popularity.
When the lag occurred, the Star Web staff started to deal with the problem. Now that five minutes had passed, the Star Web social system was finally running smoothly.
However, even though the Internet was running smoothly, after seeing the photo posted by Meng Jinhuai, everyone's brain lagged for a while.
The person in the photo posted by Meng Jinhuai was indeed Duan Hengye, but … other than his appearance, the person in the photo was completely different from Professor Duan!
"[Look at the photo] The Marshal and Professor Duan are actually shopping and eating in Nan zhuxing!
Nan zhuxing! Today, my family asked me to go out with them, but I actually rejected them. I really regret it …
First comment:
But I'm still jealous of you. You've already breathed the same air as them!
Second comment:
OP, I feel even worse than you. Based on my speculation, I was in the mall when they went out. But I didn't recognize my two male idols. But then again, who would have thought that the Marshal and Professor Duan would actually go shopping and eat …
Third comment:
Cough, cough, cough, that's right. I'm the same as you. I've always thought that the marshal and Professor Duan weren't from the same dimension as me. Therefore, when he saw the news just now, he actually had a very unreal feeling.
Fourth floor:
Wasn't the main point that Professor Duan was so gentle in the photo? He was a completely different person from my impression of him. What happened to his aloofness? [Crying]
Fifth floor:
Tsk, tsk. Don't you know who took the photo? Speaking of which, I felt like whipping the Duan Hengxing again. With the Marshal's husband getting along like this, he could actually fabricate a rumor that the two of them had a bad relationship.
… "
At this moment, not only were the netizens who had never seen Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai shocked, even those who knew Duan Hengye were the same.
Now that Galactic Day was approaching, the military's workload was slightly less than usual. After being idle, Yu Xinlan went to visit Dongfang He Wen's house not far from her home and freeloaded lunch.
Although the optical computer and the Galactic Network had become necessities in people's lives, Dongfang You was still young after all. While eating, her father put away the optical computer and told her not to be distracted.
However, the adults were different. Now that lunch was almost over, Yu Xinlan, Dongfang He Wen and his spouse talked about the recent news on the Galactic Network. As they talked … the topic drifted to Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai.
"By the way, didn't the marshal and Duan Hengye take photos of Galactic Day together this morning? After taking the photos, the two workaholics didn't continue to work overtime during the holiday, but went shopping in Nan zhuxing!" Yu Xinlan gossiped. Although Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai's trip was confidential, as the main security person in charge of Nan zhuxing and the House of the Marshal, Yu Xinlan certainly knew where the two went.
Although Yu Xinlan always knew that her two old friends were not very gossipy people. But the moment her voice fell, the man sitting opposite still put down his chopsticks with some surprise, and then involuntarily confirmed with Yu Xinlan, "The marshal went shopping?"
Dongfang Hewen didn't want to talk about this at first, but when he saw the look of surprise on his spouse's face, he considerately explained, "When the Marshal was young, his parents would sometimes bring him to the Southern Star for a walk, so he's actually quite familiar with the surroundings."
"So it's like this." The man nodded, indicating that he understood.
Seeing that the other two people didn't want to continue to gossip with her, Yu Xinlan was bored and turned on her optical computer. After seeing Yu Xinlan's optical computer suddenly lit up, Dongfang You, who was eating, gently put down his chopsticks and then glanced at the general.
"Dongfang You?" After seeing his daughter's action, Dongfang He Wen didn't give her face and directly exposed her. Hearing his father call his full name, Dongfang You stuck out his tongue and then sat back again.
But at this time, Yu Xinlan, who was looking at the optical computer, screamed and then turned on the screen.
Yu Xinlan pointed to the screen with a shocked face and said to the two people sitting in front of her, "Look! The marshal just sent a photo! "
In an instant, General Dongfang's restaurant was quiet. Beside Yu Xinlan, the three people put down the things in their hands at the same time, and then looked at the optical screen in front of her.
At this time, Dongfang You, who had been pretending to eat, couldn't help but speak his mind. "I want to see it too!"
Tsk tsk, sure enough, no one would not be curious about Meng Jinhuai's behavior.
In Dongfang He Wen's restaurant, the air stagnated for a full two minutes.
After looking at that status repeatedly for a long time, Yu Xinlan, who already thought that she knew Duan Hengye, couldn't help but sigh, "I didn't expect Duan Hengye to be such a person. I thought I knew him very well! "
"No." Hearing Yu Xinlan's words, General Dongfang's spouse, who was sitting opposite her, slowly shook his head. Then he looked at Yu Xinlan and said meaningfully, "This is not his private state, but his state in front of the marshal."
"What?" Yu Xinlan didn't understand his words for a while. At this time, Dongfang He Wen, who hadn't spoken, finally kindly explained, "It means that you can't compare yourself with the marshal."
"… Okay." Yu Xinlan sighed exaggeratedly, then slowly leaned back in her chair and said, "I was naive."
Under everyone's expectations, Interstellar Day finally arrived.
Just like what Meng Jinhuai said to Duan Hengye that day, on many planets, Interstellar Day has a series of carnival activities. Although the importance of Interstellar Day is equivalent to the former Spring Festival, few people will spend this big day at home. Every day on this day, countless people in the Interstellar will go out of their homes and come to the landmark buildings of their planet or wait in the square to celebrate with everyone.
Right now, it was sunset where the House of the Marshal was located. The central square of the city where Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai went last time was already full of people waiting for the event. Finally, when the night gradually darkened, a light screen appeared in front of the square.
The carnival was about to begin. However, before the follow-up project began, the photos taken by Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai in the House of the Marshal last time will be released at this time along with the other upper levels of the Empire.
At this time, night has slowly fallen. When the light screen rose, the photo equipment in the square also dimmed at the same time.
The noisy crowd instantly became quiet. Everyone looked up and waited for the image to appear on the light screen. A few seconds later, as the music started, the first photo appeared on the light screen. In the impression of the entire Interstellar Day, the three words "Nan zhuxing" seemed to be forever connected to the Empire's military. And because the House of the Marshal's presence is too strong, even the people of Nan zhuxing often forget that above the House of the Marshal, they are still under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Family.
The first photo appeared on the light screen. Unlike the expected cheers, the huge square instantly became so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard.
This was a photo of the Yetian Empire's Emperor and the Empress, accompanied by their blessings for Interstellar Day.
Although on the surface, Nan zhuxing and the Capital Planet still maintained the same relationship as before. In fact, the people of Nan zhuxing were already very dissatisfied with the upper levels of the Empire. Now that they suddenly saw a photo of the Empress in front of them, the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
As residents of Nan zhuxing, many of them worked in military-related companies or organizations. Many of them were even serving in the military. Suddenly seeing a photo of the Empress on such a day, the atmosphere instantly became strange.
Especially after the photo was displayed, in the Interstellar Day blessing, Nan zhuxing also received a sentence different from the other planets of the Empire — the Imperial Family hopes that Nan zhuxing will always remember its mission in the future.
What was Nan zhuxing's mission?
This was something that all Interstellar Day residents who had attended elementary school history classes should know. As early as a few decades after Nan zhuxing was discovered, the Empire's military was stationed here. At that time, the Empire's Imperial Family still firmly controlled the entire Ye Tian. So when the military came to Nan zhuxing, the Empire sent its blessings and expectations to this newly discovered planet, hoping that Nan zhuxing will always remember its mission to protect the Empire and the Imperial Family.
After so many years, the Empire's Imperial Family was no longer the Imperial Family of the past, but they chose this time to send a message that was similar to a "warning" to Nan zhuxing.
The atmosphere in the square that was originally waiting for the celebration suddenly cooled down.
Because the Interstellar Day event was organized by the Imperial Family, even Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai didn't see the message left by the other party for Nan zhuxing.
At this time, in the House of the Marshal, Meng Jinhuai, who was sitting at the table eating dinner, suddenly received a lot of messages. He wasn't interested in the Interstellar Day event, so he didn't turn on his optical computer to watch the live broadcast.
"Sorry." After seeing his flashing optical computer, Meng Jinhuai glanced at Duan Hengye, then stood up and took the optical computer to the side. Although he knew that Meng Jinhuai went elsewhere to deal with his work, Duan Hengye's curiosity still made him look away from the table and cast his gaze on Meng Jinhuai's back.
Duan Hengye saw that Meng Jinhuai stood by the window and turned on his optical computer, then his hand stopped in the air. Although he knew that he had nothing to do with the military, when he saw Meng Jinhuai standing there looking at his optical computer without moving, Duan Hengye finally couldn't help but ask, "What happened?"
After hearing Duan Hengye's words, Meng Jinhuai finally turned around and smiled at him, then shook his head and said, "Nothing big, it's just that during the Interstellar Day celebration, the Imperial Family specially sent Nan zhuxing a blessing."
"Specially?" Duan Hengye immediately noticed the difference between these two words.
"Mhmm." Meng Jinhuai nodded, then walked to Duan Hengye's side and said, "Take a look." As he spoke, he directly put his optical computer in front of Duan Hengye. However, since Duan Hengye probably didn't know the meaning of the phrase "Nan zhuxing will always remember its mission", while Duan Hengye was looking, Meng Jinhuai briefly explained the story of Nan zhuxing and the Imperial Family to Duan Hengye.
After listening to Meng Jinhuai's words, Duan Hengye nodded, not fully understanding. At this time, Meng Jinhuai took back the optical computer and said to Duan Hengye, "The Imperial Family's words will definitely cause dissatisfaction among the people of Nan zhuxing. After all, when this planet was first discovered, all the subordinate planets of the Empire were only subsidiary planets of the Capital Planet. In that era, if the Capital Planet was in danger, the other planets of the Empire had to spare no effort to save it. "
Duan Hengye understood Meng Jinhuai's meaning.
When Nan zhuxing made the promise, the relationship between the planets of the Empire was still unequal. But now, after the obvious change, they actually brought up that promise again. Even though everyone knew about this story, it was still uncomfortable for it to be mentioned in front of hundreds of millions of people on Starry Day.
"Then should Nan zhuxing give a response?" Duan Hengye asked.
Meng Jinhuai nodded lightly, then he casually touched Duan Hengye's head and said, "It's okay, leave this to Yu Xinlan."
As the General in charge of Nan zhuxing's affairs, dealing with major public opinion was also part of Yu Xinlan's job. After all, she was a comrade who had worked with Meng Jinhuai for many years, so she naturally understood the General's meaning.
Before the holographic screen in Nan zhuxing's central square showed the photos of Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai, Nan zhuxing issued an official response.
This sentence was not long, but Nan zhuxing very clearly expressed their position and point of view. They said that when Nan zhuxing was born, their mission was to protect the Empire and the Capital Planet. And now, as time passed, their mission became more and more meaningful — in addition to protecting the Empire, they should also protect all the people of the Empire and protect the peace of the Galaxy.
Nan zhuxing's most important citizens, almost everyone here followed Nan zhuxing's official account. Thus, a very spectacular scene appeared in the square: at the same time that Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai's photos appeared, they received a response from Nan zhuxing.
In an instant, the square, which originally had a somewhat dull atmosphere, became lively again. No one knew who took the lead and shouted, "Protect the peace of the Galaxy!" Then the whole square resounded with this slogan.
The power of a person was immeasurable, even though there was some distance between them and the city. But through the open window, Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai could still vaguely hear voices coming from the distance. With the stars outside the window, for the first time, Duan Hengye felt that "Protect the peace of the Galaxy" was actually not empty words, but a very romantic promise.
"What are you thinking?" At this time, dinner was over. Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai each held a glass of wine and stood on the balcony, looking at the distant stars and the shadow of the city. After hearing Meng Jinhuai's question, Duan Hengye honestly said what was on his mind.
He turned around and said to Meng Jinhuai, "I'm thinking, before, I always felt that protecting the peace of the Galaxy was very far away from me. But after hearing it just now, I suddenly feel that it's not 'empty words', it's a promise … "
"Yes … a promise." Meng Jinhuai repeated Duan Hengye's words. When he spoke, he held a glass of wine and looked at the sky not far away. When Duan Hengye almost forgot what the two of them were talking about, Meng Jinhuai said again, "When Nan zhuxing was discovered and became a military base, my ancestors came here."
Duan Hengye turned around and looked at Meng Jinhuai, waiting for him to continue.
Meng Jinhuai continued, "Over the years, I don't know how many people in my family have died on the battlefield for the promise of 'protecting the Yetian Empire'. Maybe I don't dare to casually admit other things, but just the point of 'keeping the promise', like my ancestors, I will never forget. "
Even though Meng Jinhuai said it in a casual tone, Duan Hengye read the extraordinary seriousness in his words.
Just as the two of them were talking, the celebration in the square in the distance reached the next step. Duan Hengye saw many spectacular fireworks suddenly appear in the distant sky, almost covering half of the planet's sky. In an instant, the darkened world was lit up again by the fireworks.
The light blue light imprinted on Meng Jinhuai's face. He looked at the fireworks in the night sky and said to Duan Hengye, "This is from Nan Wei."
Hearing this name again, Duan Hengye reacted for a moment before remembering that it was the satellite of Nan zhuxing.
Tonight, Meng Jinhuai wore a white shirt, the three buttons near his neck were all unbuttoned, faintly revealing a bit of his collarbone and chest muscles. Because of the wind by the window, he also put an extra long and wide gray windbreaker on his shoulders. At this time, Meng Jinhuai's black bangs and windbreaker fluttered under the night wind. Compared to the Marshal of the military, Meng Jinhuai's temperament was more like that of a wandering artist.
Meng Jinhuai was leaning against the window with one elbow gently propped against it.
"Actually, other than celebrating the arrival of the era of interstellar discovery, Interstellar Day has another meaning."
Duan Hengye looked over curiously. Meng Jinhuai continued to explain, "In the beginning, this day was to commemorate all of our pioneers who sacrificed themselves in the era of interstellar exploration. Later on, it carried a bit of nostalgia for our ancestors. But too much time has passed, many people have forgotten the original meaning. "
Countless people in the galaxy had forgotten this day, but Meng Jinhuai still remembered it. He reached out and pointed at Nan Wei hidden behind the fireworks. "The satellite also represents the watch of the deceased on this day." After Meng Jinhuai finished speaking, Duan Hengye's gaze involuntarily stopped on Nan Wei. Even though the fireworks were too dazzling and his eyes were a bit sore, he still didn't look away.
After a few months, Duan Hengye once again thought of his family on Earth through Nan Wei … He didn't know if they were doing well.
Duan Hengye didn't know how bright his eyes were due to the fireworks. Meng Jinhuai unconsciously moved his gaze from the sky to Duan Hengye's face. He slowly approached Duan Hengye, as if he had something to say …
But at this moment, a series of hurried footsteps could be heard. Duan Hengye's senses were always very sensitive. The moment the footsteps sounded, he involuntarily turned around and looked at the corridor.
"…" The words that Meng Jinhuai wanted to say were cut off here.
After a few seconds, Duan Hengye saw a familiar figure appear in front of him. It's actually his assistant?
Unlike Duan Hengye, who had his back facing Meng Jinhuai, the assistant saw the expression on the Marshal's face as soon as he entered the room. Then he realized that he came at the wrong time.
Even though their statuses were different, after seeing Meng Jinhuai's expression, the assistant, who had always been very dedicated to his job, couldn't help but silently and silently recite the name of the person who told him to come to Meng Jinhuai. "… Yu Xinlan."
"What's going on?" Even though Meng Jinhuai's mood was ruined, he knew that Duan Hengye's assistant must have something important to say.
After hearing Meng Jinhuai's question, the assistant couldn't help but sigh in relief. From the corner of his eyes, he glanced at the A.I. in the distance that had obviously been ignored, and then said to Meng Jinhuai, "It's like this, Marshal sir, the internal system of the military is suddenly under intense attack. Although we can still hold on for now, General Yu Xinlan, who is in charge of this matter, asked me to inform you. "
Even though the optical supercomputer was almost omnipotent, if there was an emergency and the owner of the optical supercomputer didn't see the message, the military would ask nearby staff to inform him.
Meng Jinhuai glanced at the optical supercomputer, then took off his windbreaker from his shoulder. He nodded to Duan Hengye's assistant and said, "Okay, I'll go take a look."
The military's internal system … After hearing these words, Duan Hengye suddenly felt that they sounded familiar. After a while, he remembered. Isn't this the place where he used to steal intelligence? Duan Hengye couldn't help but have a very subtle feeling in his heart.
"Wait," Duan Hengye suddenly called out to his assistant and Meng Jinhuai. He said to the two of them, "I'll go too."
