Galactic Day was very important because some of the staff members had left the military. In order to ensure that the work was carried out smoothly during the shift, the technical section chief was personally responsible for the shift.
Therefore, after hearing the words of the staff member who suddenly ran in, everyone only heard an extremely ear-piercing sound of a chair leg scraping across the floor in the originally quiet room. Then, a person stood up from his chair.
"Wh … What?" His eyes widened as he asked the staff member who just ran in.
The person who spoke was the technical section chief, who was mainly responsible for the security of the military's internal system. After he spoke, he realized that Duan Hengye and Yu Xinlan were still in the room.
All departments in the military had strict work regulations. Before today, there had never been a situation like this where he rushed to speak before the general.
Since he was able to become the technical section chief, this staff member had obviously been in the military for a long time. After noticing that his reaction was too intense, the staff member finally calmed down and stammered, "Sorry." Then he sat back down.
However, just like the technical section chief, everyone in the room was in a serious mood, or even panicked. The staff member just gave Meng Jinhuai an emergency report, which was also the first time they heard of this incident.
Before this, as ordinary staff members of the technical section, they never even knew that someone had broken into the military's internal system.
Meng Jinhuai did not speak, and Yu Xinlan and Duan Hengye's assistant, Ye Pu, who vaguely knew something but did not dare to guess, also remained silent.
Seeing that the big shots in the military didn't say a word, the head of the technical department started sweating profusely. Even his hands, which were quietly hanging by his side, began to tremble with the passage of time.
It was as if today's attack on the military was a group of "mercenaries". At the time, in the team that investigated Duan Hengye, there were actually not many official military staff members, so most of the people present did not know about this. As the person in charge of maintaining the intranet, the pressure in his heart was so great that it could crush him at any time.
Duan Hengye felt as if he could already hear the beads of sweat dripping from the man's forehead to the ground.
As a person with a conscience, he realized that his actions had frightened others and felt the suffocating silence at this moment. Duan Hengye began to reflect on whether or not he should confess … Because of the sudden intrusion of the staff, Duan Hengye was still sitting in front of his optical computer. However, his hand, which was originally supporting himself on the table, had unknowingly clenched into a fist.
While Duan Hengye was hesitating, Yu Xinlan was secretly observing Duan Hengye's reaction. Even though she didn't have any evidence, she knew that Duan Hengye was the only one who could hack into the Army's internal system and fix the loophole.
Yu Xinlan wasn't someone who was good at disguising her gaze. At this moment, everyone in the duty room was focused on the three of them. After noticing General Yu's gaze, the nervous staff also silently shifted their gaze to Duan Hengye. Their movements were very orderly.
Fortunately, due to the angle, Duan Hengye's back was almost facing the staff. But even so, he could still vaguely feel nervous and curious gazes on his back.
If there was a mind-reading ability, Duan Hengye would definitely be able to hear the thoughts of the dozens of staff in the office at this moment. Strangely, they were all thinking the same thing — No way, right?
… It can't really be Duan Hengye, right?
To be able to enter the Army's internal system maintenance work, other than the door here, the staff present were all industry bigwigs. They were confident in their profession and knew the development progress of the industry in the Galaxy.
Thinking back to Duan Hengye's actions just now, one only needed to calm down a little to realize that in the entire Galaxy, the only person who could sneak into the internal system of the Empire's military without anyone noticing was Duan Hengye …
At this moment, Meng Jinhuai, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke. He glanced at the staff in front of him and said, "I know who it is, don't be afraid."
Okay, if it was just a guess before, Meng Jinhuai's "don't be afraid" at the end almost directly said Duan Hengye's name. For the Marshal to say this, the mysterious person who hacked into the system was definitely on the Army's side and was very familiar with Meng Jinhuai.
So other than Duan Hengye, who else could it be?
The celebration of Interstellar Day was still going on. After the busy event, the staff members on duty also changed shifts with their colleagues in advance. After greeting everyone and thanking all the staff, Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai finally walked out of the duty room.
When they walked out, Yu Xinlan still didn't know why he wanted to follow Duan Hengye. But fortunately, Ye Pu quickly pulled him back. "Make your presence a little lower …" He whispered to Yu Xinlan. When Yu Xinlan saw Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai's slightly silent backs, he finally understood Ye Pu's words and turned his body 180 degrees.
"… Okay." General Yu nodded stiffly.
Of course, the House of the Marshal had its own means of transportation, but Meng Jinhuai didn't choose to take it. Instead, he walked with Duan Hengye to the residential area at the back.
Just like that, Duan Hangye and Meng Jinhuai strolled through the military department's work area. Although it was a holiday, it wasn't just the technical department. The other departments also had a large number of staff members on duty. Most of these duty rooms didn't close their office doors. When they saw Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai pass by the door, everyone stood up and greeted them.
For some reason, Meng Jinhuai's mood didn't seem to be affected at all even though he had just experienced a system attack. After seeing people greet him, Meng Jinhuai stopped in a good mood and greeted them back.
Although they had always worked in the Army, the title "Marshal" was still an unreachable symbol for most of the staff here. But now, on the night of Galactic Day, not only did they see Meng Jinhuai and Duan Hengye with their own eyes, they even received blessings from each other.
It was obvious that after seeing Meng Jinhuai, these staff were visibly excited.
Although Duan Hengye had been worried about the Army's system, after seeing everyone's expression, he couldn't help but be surprised by Meng Jinhuai's prestige in the Yetian Empire.
Although the Army was very large, it didn't take long for Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai to pass through the duty area and arrive at the residential area of the House of the Marshal. The surroundings fell silent again. The celebration of Interstellar Day continued outside the window, and Duan Hangye could even hear faint cheers coming from afar.
Gradually, Duan Hengye slowed down his footsteps. When Meng Jinhuai noticed him, he stopped as well. The Marshal turned around and looked at Duan Hengye. "What's wrong? What are you thinking about? "
After hearing Meng Jinhuai's question, Duan Hengye didn't know what to say for a moment. How could Meng Jinhuai not know what he was thinking? But even though he knew that Meng Jinhuai was asking the obvious, Duan Hengye still answered seriously. "Sorry … about the hacking into the Army's intranet."
Seeing that Meng Jinhuai didn't respond, Duan Hengye continued. "Actually, I could have erased the traces of the system modification, but in the end, I chose to leave the traces behind …" He admitted it directly. After all, from the way Meng Jinhuai operated the system just now, it could be seen that the Marshal might be a little slow in repairing the system, but he wasn't lacking in knowledge at all.
If it was before today, Duan Hengye might have been able to pretend. But in the maintenance work ten minutes ago, Duan Hengye had already exposed his technical skills to everyone.
The more he said, the more mistakes he would make. Thus, Duan Hengye decided to confess to Meng Jinhuai.
After hearing Duan Hengye's words, Meng Jinhuai walked over to him, then slowly put his hand on Duan Hengye's neck. This skin was really sensitive. When Meng Jinhuai put his hand on it, Duan Hengye couldn't help but tremble.
"Why are you saying 'sorry' again?" Meng Jinhuai said lightly. Duan Hengye couldn't discern the emotion in his words for a while.
Duan Hengye couldn't help but slowly look up. Then he saw that Meng Jinhuai was staring at him very seriously and said, "At that time, you didn't have to believe me. But now and in the future, you must believe me. "The topic was suddenly changed by Meng Jinhuai.
"Okay, don't think too much." After that, Meng Jinhuai slowly moved his hand from Duan Hengye's neck to his shoulder, then gently leaned over to Duan Hengye's ear. He whispered to him, "Happy Interstellar Day."
Not far from the window, a bunch of fireworks suddenly bloomed in the middle of the dark night sky. At the same time, Duan Hengye's face turned red in an instant. Because they were too close, when Meng Jinhuai spoke, Duan Hengye felt a tingling sensation spread from his ear to his body.
Meng Jinhuai's voice was low and pleasant to the ear.
After Meng Jinhuai finished speaking and left, Duan Hengye subconsciously lowered his head, then moved his gaze to the carpet on the side.
Then, Duan Hengye heard Meng Jinhuai's chuckle from the side. The sound was like a gust of wind on a summer night, sweeping past his ears. It seemed like he didn't take anything away, but it also seemed like he took everything away …
The military's holidays were much shorter than other places in the Interstellar. After the Interstellar Day celebration ended, the military personnel who were on vacation finally returned to Nan zhuxing, and the entire planet returned to normal working conditions.
The Amro University incident involved a lot of stakeholders, and the evidence of the incident had not been collected yet. Therefore, the incident that happened on the night of the Interstellar Day was still confidential. However, other than the system being attacked, there was another incident that happened that night — — that was, someone broke into the military's system and helped to patch the hole.
There were too many personnel present that night, and because the latter incident was not signed with a confidentiality agreement, it was full of gossip. In the end, someone accidentally spread the news. The news spread like wildfire, and a few days later, the news finally appeared on the Interstellar Web.
The place where the reply appeared was a system learning forum on the Interstellar Web. People were discussing in a thread whether the current system learning masters in the Interstellar Web were working in the upper echelons of various countries or in private organizations. Suddenly, someone appeared and began to mysteriously drop hints about Duan Hengye.
Before this person, no one mentioned Duan Hengye's name in the thread.
After all, everyone knew that even though the Mecha system and the Interstellar Web system were very similar, they were not exactly the same. No one doubted Duan Hengye's achievements in the field, but to suddenly mention his name outside of the field seemed like an amateur.
Therefore, the replies started to refute this post owner, and as the replies got bigger and bigger, the post owner finally couldn't help but say, "Actually, I'm not just spouting nonsense. I have a friend who works in the military, and he told me that Professor Duan once broke into the military's internal system alone, and then helped to patch a few holes in the system. "
After replying, the post owner received a few hundred question marks in less than a minute. When he realized that there were too many people watching and that his words might be recorded, the post owner decisively deleted and deleted his account.
Even so, the screenshot of the reply was still spread all over the Interstellar Web in just a few minutes.
At this time, everyone was probably mocking him for spreading rumors without any common sense. At the same time, some people jokingly tagged Nan zhuxing, asking him to come over and refute the rumor. It had to be said that after the floor manager was besieged by the people in the building with the reason of "not having the common sense of systematic learning", his reaction became more intense. Most people thought that it was a bit funny. Therefore, as the screenshot spread more and more, more people followed the trend and tagged Nan zhuxing to refute the rumor.
However, something unexpected happened. A few hours later, Nan zhuxing actually replied to the post.
The official account didn't refute the rumor, but instead … replied, "The situation is true."
The people who were waiting to see the rumor creator get slapped in the face were stunned when they received the message. Wait a minute … What did Nan zhuxing's official account just say? It was a simple four-word reply, but at this moment, countless people read it over a hundred times. In the end, they dared to confirm that they weren't seeing things. Nan zhuxing's reply really was, "The situation is true."
In other words, Duan Hengye really broke into the Army's internal system alone and fixed the backend vulnerability?
For the Interstellar Web, this might be explosive news. However, for the Army's upper echelons and Duan Hengye, there were more important things to do.
After the royal banquet, Duan Hengye asked Empress a question on the spot – who was the third person in the laboratory when the experiment accident happened? However, at that time, Empress didn't directly answer Duan Hengye's question. Instead, his expression changed and he changed the topic.
Later on, although the Army cooperated to investigate this matter, Duan Hengye never thought that he would know the answer to that question so early on.
Nan zhuxing morning, Duan Hengye, who was still on vacation, continued to work in the House of the Marshal's study. At this moment, the heavy wooden door of the study was suddenly pushed open from the outside. Because Duan Hengye had been carefully observing the data on the optical computer and the study was in a state of isolation from the outside world, he finally raised his head and saw the person standing at the door.
It was Meng Jinhuai, who was supposed to be working.
At this time, Meng Jinhuai was wearing a black Army uniform. He stood at the door with a serious expression that Duan Hengye rarely saw.
After seeing Duan Hengye looking at him, Meng Jinhuai finally walked in.
"A Heng." Meng Jinhuai suddenly called out to Duan Hengye for no reason. Although Meng Jinhuai didn't say anything else, Duan Hengye was already nervous. "What's wrong?" After seeing Meng Jinhuai's expression, Duan Hengye couldn't help but reach out and turn off the optical computer in front of him.
Meng Jinhuai sat on the chair opposite the desk. He didn't say anything and just put his optical computer on the table. Meng Jinhuai finally took a deep breath and said to Duan Hengye. "Do you still remember what you said to me on the starship on the way back to Capital Planet?"
The moment he heard Meng Jinhuai's words, Duan Hengye's eyes widened involuntarily. He immediately understood what Meng Jinhuai wanted to say today. "Are you talking about the accident that happened to my parents?" Duan Hengye didn't know, but his tone was also raised.
"Mhmm." Meng Jinhuai nodded. He continued, "We now have an answer about the third person in the laboratory."
In the published incident report, the only people who died in the accident were Duan Hengye's parents. However, in the internal report of the Imperial Family, there were clearly three autopsy reports. Duan Hengye's intuition told him that the identity of the third person was definitely strange.
After hearing Meng Jinhuai's words, Duan Hengye couldn't help but become more nervous. He could feel that he was now one step closer to the truth.
"Who … is that person?" Even Duan Hangye himself didn't notice that his tone couldn't help but tremble a little when he spoke.
Meng Jinhuai didn't directly answer Duan Hengye's question. Instead, he turned on his optical computer. Then, a still photo appeared in front of Duan Hengye. The man in the photo looked very ordinary, one could even say that he had a "common face". Perhaps the most eye-catching thing about him was that he was wearing a navy blue military uniform that belonged to the Yetian Empire's military.
Although the style was slightly different from the current one, Duan Hangye was able to recognize the clothes at a glance based on a few details.
"This is?" Even though he already knew the answer in his heart, Duan Hengye couldn't help but look up at Meng Jinhuai, as if he was asking for confirmation. After noticing Duan Hengye's gaze, Meng Jinhuai slowly nodded, then closed the photo and said, "This is a former major general of the Empire's military."
After hearing Meng Jinhuai's answer, Duan Hengye's heart couldn't help but feel empty. He never thought that this matter would be related to the Empire's military. It seemed that the experimental accident many years ago was indeed more mysterious than what people knew and imagined.
Meng Jinhuai couldn't help but frown, then he gently shook his head, then looked into Duan Hengye's eyes and said, "Before receiving the results of the investigation, this person's status in the military personnel column has always been" missing "."
A "missing" major general of the military actually died in an experimental accident?
It was obviously early in the morning, but after hearing Meng Jinhuai's words, Duan Hengye couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.
However, before Meng Jinhuai finished speaking, he paused for a moment and said, "He was a close subordinate of my parents when he was alive." Maybe because he was afraid that Duan Hengye didn't understand the meaning of his words, after this sentence, Meng Jinhuai added, "Just like Dongfang He Wen and Yu Xinlan."
After hearing Meng Jinhuai's words, Duan Hengye's mind was once again in a mess. After a while, he finally asked, "Then, did this major general have any other contact with my parents when he was alive?"
Hearing this, Meng Jinhuai shook his head and said, "No, I've always been curious. In fact, I've always been curious about one thing. Ten or twenty years ago, the military and the research institute had very little contact. It was a little strange. Logically speaking, these two organizations need to maintain close cooperation for a long time, but during that period of time, Nan zhuxing and the Mecha Research Institute didn't have any special cooperation except for the necessary information. "
But now, they found out that the "missing" subordinate of Meng Jinhuai's parents had actually died in an experimental accident.
The atmosphere in the study room suddenly became eerily quiet.
After a while, Meng Jinhuai suddenly turned on the optical computer again. Duan Hengye couldn't help but look at him in confusion. Meng Jinhuai looked at his contacts and quickly said to Duan Hengye, "Remember the reporter we met on the test flight planet?"
Duan Hengye couldn't help but nod. "… You're saying?"
"That's right." Meng Jinhuai moved his gaze from the optical computer to Duan Hengye's face and said, "That reporter was an old mutual friend of my parents. Also, he was an old acquaintance that they knew before they achieved anything in the galaxy. "
