Chapter 58：

The Ye Tian Empire has its own mech test flight planet. Although this planet is owned by the royal family, all the executive personnel inside are dispatched from the military headquarters.

The design of new mechas is not a simple matter. In recent years, the entire empire has only registered less than ten mechas. When there is no test flight mission, all test pilots are in military uniforms. Service, and this proprietary test flying star is also unmanned.

Which planet to choose as the mecha test flying star is actually very particular. For example, the test flying star of the Ye Tian Empire, it is very famous throughout the interstellar.

This planet is famous not only because of the existence of the Yetian Empire Mecha Research Institute and the Imperial Army, but also because of the harsh natural geographical conditions on the planet.

As an experimental star, all the harsh conditions on the interstellar must be simulated as much as possible here. Therefore, the environment of this planet is so bad that it can’t be worse. Extremely high and low temperatures coexist. All kinds of cosmic rays that can be called and unnamed break into the planet unscrupulously. In addition to all kinds of space junk Visit from time to time...

Due to the fact that the conditions are too special, when the Yetian Empire did not have mech flight test missions, it was often rented out by some well-connected countries for flight test work.

As the dean of the Imperial Mecha Research Institute, Duan Hengye had already heard of the name "Test Flying Star", but he had never had a chance to come here.

A few days after the new mecha was assembled, Guangbrain calculated the best time for the experiment. Accompanied by this, Duan Hengye, a mecha maker, also arrived on the flight test star ahead of schedule. Also traveling with him on a starship were Meng Jinhuai and two generals from the military.

This is an extremely barren planet, Duan Hengye saw from the starship's window. Although it is not like Duan Hengye imagined, it is a terrifying scene of **** on earth. But whether it is the sky shrouded by a light storm for most of the sky, or the dark ground, these are not in touch with beauty.

Because the weather conditions of the test flying star have always been bad, even the giant starship of the military department lingered in the air for a long time before finally finding the right time to land in the crack of the storm.

This starship uses the most advanced sound insulation materials available, and Duan Hengye does not understand interstellar weather terms. However, he could still hear from the starship broadcast alone that the intensity of the storm on the test flying star was enough to roll up and crush the stretch of mountains in an instant.

"Attention, the starship begins to land, please pay attention to safety." After a beep, the starship sent an electronically synthesized female voice notification. After a few more seconds, the seat belt on Duan Hengye's seat automatically popped out, and then he was firmly fixed here. At the same time, all the sundries placed on the table were also stored in a special device.

Duan Hengye couldn't help getting nervous, but even though he didn't understand planetary weather, his experience as a plane designer told himself that the defensiveness of this giant starship was comparable to the top mecha, and the storm was dangerous. , But still will not pose too much threat to it.

Duan Hengye slowly exhaled a breath and gradually relaxed. As the height of the starship gradually decreased, his hand moved to one side of the sofa armrest, and then he clenched it tightly. Meng Jinhuai, who had not spoken after seeing this, glanced at Duan Hengye, and then said softly: "It's okay. When I came to test the flying star, the weather on the planet changed drastically. Finally, the starship passed through the storm, and it was still safe. ."

Although Meng Jinhuai's words were very relaxed, Duan Hengye couldn't help but squeeze a sweat after hearing what he said.

At this moment, the outside of the window suddenly plunged into pitch black, and no light could penetrate. Duan Hengye knew that the starship had officially entered the gap of the storm. The darkness lasted for five or six minutes, and during this period the starship that had been running smoothly also began to shake slightly.

No one in the cabin spoke, and Duan Hengye's eyes kept staring at the altitude record on the front light screen.

Although nothing could be seen on the dark window, the numbers on the light screen told Duan Hengye that the starship was landing at an extremely fast speed.

Finally, when the starship landed to a distance of five kilometers from the surface, light came in through the window. At the same time, Duan Hengye's seat belt loosened, and the debris on the table appeared again.

"...It's about to land soon." Duan Hengye looked out the window and muttered to himself.

"The diameter of the storm just now was about 30,000 kilometers." At this moment, Meng Jinhuai suddenly turned around and said to Duan Hengye. He knows that Duan Hengye sometimes lacks some "common sense" in interstellar life, but he is very happy to understand them. Sure enough, just as Meng Jinhuai's voice fell, Duan Hengye suddenly widened his eyes, and then repeated the number again.

Thirty thousand kilometers? Duan Hengye couldn't help but raised his head again and glanced at the storm that had gone away. It turned out that he had passed through a storm with a diameter larger than the earth just now. Although he has lived in the interstellar age for some time, until now, after hearing this number, Duan Hengye still feels a little unreal in his heart.

The gray-black storm was getting farther and farther. After the sound inside the starship rang, Duan Hengye regained his sight under the window. Before he knew it, the starship had landed on the test meteor. Land.

...

This planet is different from any one that Duan Hengye has visited before. Because of the terrible environment on the surface of the planet, people cannot absolutely be exposed directly on the surface of the planet. So after the starship stopped, Duan Hengye saw that a corridor suddenly extended from the outside of the black metal building in front, and then connected with the starship.

"Okay, you can go out." Seeing Duan Hengye sitting there without moving, Meng Jinhuai, who had stood up, bent over and said to him.

At this time, the distance between the two was a bit close. After seeing the enlarged face of the other party, Duan Hengye unnaturally moved his eyes to one side, and then stood up from his seat.

Before Duan Hengye, many people had arrived at the test flying star, including the meteorological team responsible for escorting the mission and the monitoring team of the research institute. This group will be personally led by Duan Hengye, and Su Mingge will do auxiliary work.

In addition to these traditional teams involved in the test flight, Duan Hengye also called in advance another person who had never been there before. It is said that the two of them only met at An Luo University a few days ago, and that person was Wen Xun Yin, the director of the Institute of Mental Power.

After seeing the starship landing, the staff who had been waiting on the flight test star walked outside the corridor to wait. As soon as Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai entered the building, they walked up and shook hands with the two in turn. The people present were all big names in the interstellar. After a brief greeting, Duan Hengye sat in the monitoring hall with Meng Jinhuai, waiting for the test flight.

Now most of the people participating in this activity have arrived. After more than ten minutes, the last few people also walked into the monitoring hall through the corridor.

The leader is a middle-aged man wearing a mech driving suit. Although his appearance is not outstanding, he has a very special powerful and calm temperament. After he walked over, he gave a military salute to Meng Jinhuai, and then said to the two of them: "Report to the Marshal, Professor Duan. I am the executor of this test flight, and I come from the military test flight team."

It turns out that this is the test pilot performing this mission. After confirming the range of the test pilot's mental power with Wen Xun Yin, Duan Hengye called out the military test pilot's information and found him in it. The test pilot is very precious, and Duan Hengye did not see his photo at the time because of confidentiality. After meeting now, Duan Hengye discovered that this man really fits the image of a "test pilot" in his heart.

Seeing Duan Hengye looking at himself, the test pilot nodded at him again and said, "Thank you Professor Duan for your trust!"

Although his spouse Meng Jinhuai is an army. People, but Master Meng Jinhuai's way of speaking is more everyday. Now hear a real imperial army. Duan Hengye couldn't help but become serious when he spoke with himself solemnly. He shook hands with the test pilot, and then said, "Thank you."

After Duan Hengye's voice fell, the test pilot once again solemnly saluted him.

After greeting him, Duan Hengye noticed that an old man was still standing behind the test pilot. His beard and hair are all white, and although he still looks energetic, his slightly slow action is still telling the outside world the fact that he is old.

Seeing Duan Hengye looking at him, the old man smiled at him and walked over.

"Hello, Professor Duan, I'm a reporter covering this test flight." He said while shaking hands with Duan Hengye. Then the old man walked and shook hands with Meng Jinhuai and said, "It's been a long time, Lord Marshal. "

Does this old man know Meng Jinhuai?

Duan Hengye couldn't help looking at them curiously.

He knew earlier that although this event will not be broadcast live, Star Network reporters will also come to film, and finally edited into about ten minutes of content for the news program. The old man in front of him is obviously over the age of retirement, how could he become a reporter in charge of this matter.

Unlike Duan Hengye's face of doubt, Meng Jinhuai obviously knew each other. After the two of them greeted each other, the old man said to Meng Jinhuai: "It's been so many years in a flash. The first time I came to test the flying star turned out to be decades ago." After he finished speaking, his eyes flowed a little. The meaning of nostalgia.

After the two briefly answered and chatted, Meng Jinhuai turned to Duan Hengye and introduced: "Mr. Yan was a well-known war correspondent in Interstellar when he was young. He was a good friend of my parents. Although his husband has retired for decades, he has After knowing that there was a test flight mission, he still offered to come and report on the test flight."

Hearing this, Duan Hengye finally understood the identity of the old man in front of him. At this moment, the old man also watched Duan Hengye miss and half-heartedly said: "Maybe Professor Duan doesn't remember me anymore, but I still remember that when you were young, I went to the research institute to interview you. parents."

Hearing Mr. Yan's words, Duan Hengye couldn't help being surprised. If you think about it carefully, this seems to be the first time he heard about his parents since he entered this novel. In Duan Hengye's memory, although they are well-known interstellar scientists, their daily lives are very low-key, and they don't often leave the planet where the research institute is located.

"You and your mother look very similar." The old man said after watching for a while.

Although Duan Hengye had never met the parents of the original owner, the magical thing was that after hearing someone mention them, he also had some desire to ask questions. But reason told Duan Hengye that now is not a good time. The data on the light screen in front of him shows that the planet is about to reach its best state for test flight, and he needs to sit on the monitor seat and work.

...

The layout of the monitoring hall is very much like that of a satellite monitoring center on the earth. Each staff member has a different light screen, and at the front of the hall is a huge screen with a length and width of more than 30 meters. .

Behind the light screen is a window. At the beginning of the test flight, the light screen is in a dormant state. At this time, the people in the house can observe directly from the window, and after the mecha flies away, the light screen will end its sleep and begin to broadcast the scenes around the mecha.

Under the gaze of everyone in the hall, the test pilot walked into the preparation room. A few minutes later, a silver-white mecha flew out of the skylight of the toilet preparation room, and then appeared in front of the window in an instant.

Duan Hengye saw that from the moment the mecha appeared in front of the window, Wen Xun Yin, who was sitting next to him, stared at the light screen in front of him, and then quickly recorded the changes in mental strength. As if he felt Duan Hengye's gaze, he turned around and whispered: "Everything is normal, and the mental strength is very compatible with the mecha."

Although the simulation experiment has been very comprehensive, at this time the mecha sitting inside is a big living person after all. No matter how strong Duan Hengye's mental quality is, he still can't help being nervous about the experiment. But now after hearing Wen Xunyin's words, Duan Hengye finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The silver-white mecha stopped in front of the window for a few seconds, and then it took just three seconds to mention the fastest flying towards the sky. From the naked eye, this huge mecha just disappeared before people's eyes in an instant.

After it took off, Duan Hengye quickly moved his gaze from the window to the small light screen in front of him. Here records the natural environment data around the mecha and the state of the mecha itself. It can be seen from the green light on the screen that the mecha is in good condition.

As a mecha condensed with countless high-precision technology in the interstellar, at this time, the "Nan Zhu" was monitored by hundreds of data. No matter how powerful Duan Hengye is, it is impossible for him to see everything clearly. In fact, today's monitoring tasks are mainly carried out by the research team. Duan Hengye and Su Mingge are responsible for the implementation of several emergency plans.

After confirming that the mecha data was normal at this time, Duan Hengye raised his head and looked at the huge light screen not far away. At this time, "Nan Zhu" had flown to the edge of the test flight of the interstellar storm. After a few seconds of waiting, the silver-white mecha rushed into the storm without hesitation.

Flying in an interstellar storm is a necessary quality for a mecha. However, after seeing the rapidly rotating interstellar storm on the satellite image, Duan Hengye couldn't help but sweat it.

At this time, the monitoring hall showed two different states.

The research team represented by Duan Hengye was extremely nervous. Su Mingge, who had always watched the sky and fearlessly, couldn't help but bit his lip, let alone the staff of the research institute who wanted to get into the light screen. In stark contrast to this trip, the military staff represented by Meng Jinhuai were all calm and relaxed. Seeing the extremely dangerous picture on the light screen, these people didn't even wrinkle their eyebrows.

Because of the tension, Duan Hengye's eyes towards Meng Jinhuai became more straightforward. When he discovered that Duan Hengye was watching him with an inquiring gaze, Meng Jinhuai suddenly opened his mouth and said to him: "When an army. When a man walks on the battlefield, the first thing he must learn is to trust. ."

While speaking, Meng Jinhuai still looked at the light screen in front of him, his expression was still relaxed, but his words revealed a firmness that could not be ignored.

The word "Trust" called Duan Hengye's heart tightened along with it.

Then Meng Jinhuai continued: "Not only does he have trust in his superiors, but also in the mecha he drives. If it is an army. People who don't believe in their mecha, then he better not go to the battlefield."

Meng Jinhuai's tone was very plain, but the meaning in his words made Duan Hengye feel inexplicably guilty. Because Duan Hengye always remembered that on the day he traveled into this world, the original owner had just moved his hands and feet on Meng Jinhuai's mecha.

Just like Meng Jinhuai said earlier, to be able to drive this mecha, he must trust the mecha and the mecha designer. However, the original owner took advantage of this trust and smashed Meng Jinhuai.

Duan Hengye didn't even dare to think about it, how does Meng Jinhuai think of that matter, and how does he think of himself as the mastermind behind the scenes?

Although it was not Duan Hengye who made the tampering with mecha data, Duan Hengye still couldn't help feeling guilty and...fear whenever he thought of it.

Meng Jinhuai felt that Duan Hengye's mood was obviously depressed. But before he could say anything, the large light screen in front of him disappeared again, and the mecha "Nan Zhu" reappeared outside the window.

Although today's flight test project is relatively basic, it is the most dangerous and test the performance of the mecha. Now after dozens of minutes of flying, when the mecha reappeared in front of the window, all the staff in the hall got up from their chairs and applauded outside the window.

Although there are many other experimental projects, the test flight will last for more than two months. However, the completion of today's task without errors means that the most important functions of the mecha are operating normally. In the subsequent flight test experiments, only the staff of the research institute's special team will be permanently stationed here.

Seeing that the mecha had finished the experiment, Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai also stood up like everyone else. After a few more seconds, the test pilot walked back to the hall, and Meng Jinhuai, who was the marshal, walked to him and began to communicate with him. At the same time, Duan Hengye and all the staff of the institute began to organize the data.

Although today's flight test mission was completed very smoothly, and the data was almost exactly the same as that simulated by the optical brain, this post-summing work is still very necessary.

After the experiment, the whole hall suddenly became busy. On the surface, Duan Hengye seems to have forgotten what she had just thought, but in fact...After the countless number of times he froze at the data on the light screen, Su Mingge, who was sitting on the side, finally couldn't help it. A nervous look asked: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the data?"

Duan Hengye's usual appearance was so calm that his current contemplative and tangled appearance scared the surrounding staff. Duan Hengye looked up and found that almost all the colleagues from the research institute around him were looking at him nervously. Had it not been for Su Mingge's question, some people would have been scared and started to check the data immediately.

After realizing that his state had affected others, Duan Hengye hurriedly shook his head and said, "Sorry, I was distracted just now. I haven't rested well in the past few days, so...well, I was a little sleepy." He unconsciously stretched out his hand as he explained. I pressed my temple, and after seeing Duan Hengye's appearance, the surrounding staff finally let go.

Su Mingge smiled and patted Duan Hengye on the shoulder and said, "Well, now that 90% of the data has been verified, would you like to take a break first?"

Just like Su Mingge said, the experimental data will be verified soon, and the remaining ones are also very simple auxiliary system values. Looking at the light screen again, Duan Hengye, who has no confidence in his state, stood up, took a deep breath and nodded and said, "Okay, thanks for everyone."

Among those present today, apart from the test pilots, the staff of the Academy have the heaviest task. So when Duan Hengye finished 90% data verification, there were not a few people left in the hall.

Duan Hengye saw that at this time Meng Jinhuai was standing in front of the window watching the gray-black storm in the distance. He couldn't help but walked over slowly, and after Duan Hengye came over, Meng Jinhuai also glanced at him sideways and then unexpectedly asked: "Ah Heng has anything to say just now?"

Now Duan Hengye didn’t completely put down the matter just now. After hearing Meng Jinhuai’s words, he was silent for a while, and finally turned around and looked at the other party slowly and said: “My next work plan is to complete the top mech. The work of upgrading."

Duan Hengye never concealed his desires and goals. After hearing his words, Meng Jinhuai was not surprised.

And then, Duan Hengye continued to inject the other person and asked: "Are you still willing to believe me?" After speaking, Duan Hengye couldn't help becoming nervous. He was looking forward to the answer, but also afraid to hear it.

Before Meng Jinhuai could respond, Duan Hengye added: "Tell the truth."

Duan Hengye didn't know that at this time, his solemn expression coupled with the three words "tell the truth" turned Meng Jinhuai into the illusion that he was facing a stubborn child at this time.

So... Obviously he was talking about serious topics, but Duan Hengye saw that Master Marshal couldn't help but smile at him, and then he nodded gently and said to himself, "Of course I will always trust you."
