Chapter 99：

The short eight words in front of him unexpectedly moved Duan Hengye's heartstrings. Although he was sure that he still had no memories of his childhood, after seeing these eight words, Duan Hengye couldn't help but give birth to the illusion that he saw the scene of the year.

…Probably in the eyes of parents, Duan Hengye has been a little reticent and more mature than ordinary children since childhood. On the one hand, they are grateful to Duan Hengye for his maturity and early wisdom-so that he has the ability to take over the work of the research institute and is more suitable for survival in the original environment. But on the other hand, after seeing this child who has lost innocence and fun, how can they not feel heartache.

Although the nightlife in Heng during childhood is not as bad as the latter, compared with others, it also loses a lot of fun.

Duan Hengye's parents know that as a kid who has been learning mecha design since he was a child, he probably wouldn't like this simple and naive model in front of him-although it is indeed popular among interstellar children. But as parents, they bought the model and gave it to Duan Hengye as a birthday present.

Few people have handwritten notes in the interstellar age. Duan Hengye lowered his head to see that the handwriting on the note lying quietly in his hand at this time was very neat. Probably because it is rarely handwritten, the character is not connected, but the structure is extremely standardized and clear. The paper on the interstellar has a special manufacturing process. Although more than ten years have passed, the white paper in Duan Hengye's hand still shows no signs of yellowing. Even the characters written on the paper with carbon fountain pen water still give people a feeling of wet ink.

Obviously there are only simple eight characters, but Duan Hengye still read the note on his hand over and over again.

When Meng Jinhuai walked into the living room, he saw this scene-Duan Hengye sitting quietly on the sofa with his back to him. He lowered his head, as if he was looking at something, his expression was very focused.

After Meng Jinhuai entered, the door of the room behind him slowly closed automatically. The thick wool carpet swallowed up all the sound of footsteps. It wasn't until Meng Jinhuai walked in front of Duan Hengye that the fascinated man sitting on the sofa realized the arrival of the other party.

"What are you looking at?" Meng Jinhuai asked, sitting beside Duan Hengye.

After hearing the other party's question, Duan Hengye didn't speak at first, but handed the small note he was holding to Meng Jinhuai.

"This is..." Master Marshal said as he took the note in his hand. Soon after, Meng Jinhuai saw the text on this note.

"Happy birthday, love you forever!"

Seeing Meng Jinhuai's gaze falling on the note, Duan Hengye finally returned to his senses and said, "This is what Duan Hengxing sent just now. It was originally a birthday gift my parents prepared for me. After that happened... …Duan Hengxing took the things out of the house before being taken away by the Queen’s family, until just now… finally gave me this gift again."

The tone of Duan Hengye just now had nothing to do with the word "heavy". But Meng Jinhuai just heard this from his words... Duan Hengye has lost his childhood memories. Perhaps the thing he is holding at this time is something that has nothing to do with the past. Objects.

Meng Jinhuai didn't speak, he was very careful to hand the note back into the opponent's hand. Duan Hengye who received the note carefully put it back into the box, and then gently closed the lid.

Different from the gentle appearance that he usually shows in front of Duan Hengye, as the marshal, Meng Jinhuai is a person who does not show any affection for opponents and enemies. It can even be said... Master Marshal has a little bit of revenge. What Meng Jinhuai did not tell and would not tell Duan Hengye was that he had never forgotten what happened in Duan Hengxing's house last time, and he had even been waiting for the opportunity to ask the other party to pay the due price.

But today, after seeing this birthday gift that was more than ten years late, Meng Jinhuai rarely gave up his previous plan.

...

That press conference is destined to rewrite the history of the interstellar-this is almost the consensus of people all over the world. After the press conference, the entire Ye Tian Empire held countless important meetings in just one week. Many old nobles and former powers of the empire, who had retired for many years and had become "historical figures" in everyone's mind, suddenly appeared in the meeting.

In recent decades, the Yetian Empire has not been peaceful at all, and the upper echelons of the empire are even more important to you. Probably no one would have thought that one day those powerful and powerful people who once mastered the empire would gather together - and all stood behind Meng Jinhuai. Only after seeing this scene did people gain a more intuitive understanding of the invisible power of the Southern Stars.

This week's meeting has achieved countless results, of which the biggest one is definitely the power control of the imperial family.

Because the mecha simulation experiments have all ended now, and the physical mecha has also begun to be manufactured, Duan Hengye finally returned to his busy research life. Duan Hengye, who had been watching the progress of mecha manufacturing, didn't have much time to watch the news, and when he was paying attention, the royal family had been emptied. As for the emperor of the empire and the rest of the core members of the royal family... also began to wait for their own trial.

The most surprising thing in the whole thing was that Nan Zhuxing was not as "upper" as people imagined. Instead, the imperial assembly, which had not had much presence before, appeared in front of everyone.

Although anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is a very close relationship between the Imperial Council and the Southern Stars, this does not mean that people express their admiration for Meng Jinhuai himself — Meng Jinhuai even gave up a complete takeover of the Yetian Empire. Return the opportunity.

After the enthusiasm for several consecutive meetings passed slightly, StarNet began to discuss the purpose of Meng Jinhuai's doing this. Although Duan Hengye didn't have much interest in whose hands the power of the empire fell, Duan Hengye still couldn't help asking this question when Meng Jinhuai came to the research institute a few days later.

Opposite the two of them was the top mech that was still in the manufacturing stage. Just like the one currently being driven by Meng Jinhuai, the new top mech will not be mass-produced, and there is only one in the entire interstellar. With more complicated design drawings and more functional upgrades, the manufacturing time of the top-level mecha has also been lengthened a lot compared to the previous one. However, looking at the bare metal frame in front of you, no one except Duan Hengye, the designer, can equate it with the strongest weapon in the interstellar world.

After hearing Duan Hengye's words, Meng Jinhuai couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and then said in a joking tone: "Isn't the Star Network saying that Nan Zhuxing is actually the manipulator behind the parliament?"

What Meng Jinhuai was talking about was a rather boring speculation on the Star Network. This speculation became the object of ridicule by everyone. After all, everyone knew that if the Southern Stars wanted to control the Yetian Empire, they would no longer be able to use it. The troublesome way.

Although he knew that Meng Jinhuai was joking, Duan Hengye couldn't help but want to organize a language explanation. Fortunately, Meng Jinhuai didn't mean to embarrass Duan Hengye. After seeing the other's slightly tangled expression, Marshal Master said in a good mood: "Nan Zhuxing would not do this."

Meng Jinhuai finally returned to his former dignity, "The overall framework of the Yetian Empire was inherently problematic. If it were to simply take power from the imperial family and then hold it in the hands of Nan Zhuxing, then... …Maybe it’s better to do nothing and keep it as it is."

While talking, Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai sat in the resting position opposite the mecha that was being assembled. The top mecha was so large that it would even feel sleepy when looking up at the neck.

"Don't have too much expectation on the creature'human', whether it's others or yourself." Meng Jinhuai's tone was extremely cold.

When the Marshal said that, he was looking up at the mecha not far away. After seeing his appearance, Duan Hengye couldn't help but look at the huge metal object opposite.

What Meng Jinhuai just said is correct, although the current Southern Stars are extremely prestigious and have contributed a lot to the empire. But no one has made it clear about the future. It is unknown whether holding power tightly will bring prosperity or disaster to the Southern Stars.

Many people understand this truth, but there are really few who can really push away the power they have.

After talking about this, Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai fell silent. Because the volume of the top mecha is many times larger than that of the mass-produced mecha, the ceiling of this mecha manufacturing room has also risen a lot. Although the area has not changed, the visual space has expanded exponentially.

Although the voice had fallen for a long time, Duan Hengye actually had the illusion of echoes floating in his ears facing the huge and empty manufacturing room in front of him. Against this background, it seems that the world is only left with him and Meng Jinhuai.

"Besides, even if I can fight, I won't be able to manage Yetian well for a while." Meng Jinhuai's tone eased again, and a smile slowly appeared in his eyes. Looking at the huge mecha in front of him, Meng Jinhuai thought about it and said to Duan Hengye: "I have been working in the military with my parents since I was a child. When StarCraft is truly settled down, I still want to retire quickly."

As soon as these words came out of Meng Jinhuai's mouth, Duan Hengye couldn't help laughing. Although Meng Jinhuai had been a marshal of the military for a long time, his age was too young in the interstellar age. Coupled with the slow aging rate of people in this era, Meng Jinhuai at this time was only in his early twenties in Duan Hengye's eyes. In Duan Hengye's eyes, Meng Jinhuai's utterance of the word "retirement" really violated peace.

Seeing Duan Hengye couldn't help laughing, Meng Jinhuai's mood improved. After a while, Master Marshal continued to think: "Looking at Ah Heng's appearance, I guess you don't want to retire early. Then I will come to the institute to accompany you." Although his face was smiling. However, Meng Jinhuai's tone was somewhat serious.

After finishing this sentence, Meng Jinhuai turned his head, and then looked at Duan Hengye's eyes and asked affectionately: "A Heng, are you OK?"

In an instant, Duan Hengye's brain went blank. After a while, he nodded slowly, "Okay."

...

At the same time that the mecha was manufactured, Lan Jingchi's paper was also published. Now that the big trouble has been resolved, Nan Zhuxing directly announced the identity of Lan Jingchi, a genius who was hiding behind the scenes and fighting the royal family's drug control by himself.

Although it was a while ago, Lan Jingchi already had some reputation in the industry. But after Nan Zhuxing's "propaganda", Lan Jingchi was still on the interstellar hot search within a short period of time, and then became a household name, much like what he looked like a few years before Hengye.

Removing toxins from Duan Hengye is a very troublesome and difficult task. When studying this problem, Lan Jingchi also overcome several well-known problems in the industry. So after the publication of the papers written on this, the entire field of pharmacy is in shock.

There are so many large and small award ceremonies in the interstellar world, and recently it just happened to catch up with an authoritative comprehensive awards in the scientific community. Lan Jingchi's achievements were enough to make him stand on the podium. From the time he was nominated and announced, the entire StarCraft was looking forward to the moment when Lan Jingchi won the award.

At the same time, this award ceremony also sent an invitation to Duan Hengye through the Yetian Empire Mecha Research Institute-they hope that Duan Hengye can be the guest of honor at this ceremony.

Although this awards ceremony is comprehensive, the awards involved have little to do with mecha design. Before that, they did not send out an invitation to the research institute, but they never succeeded. And this time, after learning that Lan Jingchi was nominated, Duan Hengye accepted the invitation without any hesitation.

Lan Jingchi knew that Duan Hengye had been busy assembling the new mecha recently, so after receiving the nomination, he was afraid of disturbing the other party, so he did not send a message to Duan Hengye. What Lan Jingchi didn't expect was that he would actually see Duan Hengye's starship on the star of the event.

The process of this awards ceremony is quite particular, and even a red carpet ceremony will be held before the start like the entertainment circle, but Duan Hengye as the awarding guest does not need to participate in this event. Just stepping on the red carpet, Lan Jingchi saw the silver object flying towards the starship dock in the distance.

Duan Hengye was riding his own starship today instead of the military one. On the surface, it looked like a luxurious private starship, so it didn't attract many people's attention. But Lan Jingchi who often sees it recognizes this starship. Although the silver-white starship looks no different from an ordinary private starship, many traces of modification can be seen in the details.

Lan Jing didn't expect Duan Hengye to come here today. Without any special preparations, he couldn't help showing a surprised expression after seeing the starship. At this time, Lan Jingchi was standing on the red carpet, and his expression was not missed by various live broadcasts and shooting devices.

After seeing Lan Jingchi's expression, several cameras immediately turned the lens to the direction he had just seen. However, it is a pity that the starship is moving very fast, and when those shots are turned over, the silver starship has already landed on the ground.

Today, Lan Jingchi is wearing a black velvet dress with all her hair combed back, and she looks mature. After seeing the starship landing, Lan Jingchi, who didn't intend to stay longer on the red carpet, speeded up his pace. Within a few minutes, he disappeared before people's eyes.

Today is after all an awards ceremony in the scientific world, which is different from the entertainment awards ceremony which needs to create suspense to attract eyeballs. Every time, the list of award winners will be announced directly on the Star Network a few days before the ceremony. Although there is less suspense this way, it makes the atmosphere of the ceremony more relaxed and elegant.

After walking the red carpet, everyone I met was congratulating Lan Jingchi. Now he is a person who can deal with this kind of scene proficiently, so although he is a little anxious to find Duan Hengye, Lan Jingchi's superficial skills still do not leak. He began to communicate and greet people proficiently, but if you observe carefully, you will find that Lan Jingchi's eyes have been wandering in the venue.

Lan Jingchi is the winner of today's important award, and his time on the red carpet is relatively late. So after he entered the door, it didn't take long for the award ceremony to officially begin. Sooner or later, Lan Jing was no longer the one he was the previous year. After the announcement that the ceremony was about to begin, Lan Jing was led by the staff and sat in the first row of the venue.

Seeing the seats around him were almost full, Lan Jingchi finally couldn't help but asked the staff who brought him over: "Where are the seats for the award-presenting guests?"

Probably it was because I didn’t believe that Lan Jingchi had spoken to him on the initiative. After hearing his question, the staff member who stood by reacted and said: "Uh...Mr. Lan, today’s awards The guests are all in the background."

After the staff had finished speaking, Lan Jing couldn't help showing some disappointed expressions. He nodded, then said "thank you" to the staff and opened his brain. His hand hung on Duan Hengye's head, but after hesitating for a while, Lan Jingchi still didn't click on it.

The process of this awards ceremony is very tight. It didn't take long for Lan Jingchi to sit down here, and then the ceremony officially began. Because this event is being broadcast live for all stars, although Lan Jingchi had the urge to turn on the light brain several times in his heart, he never actually did it once.

Also because Lan Jingchi is now a hot new star in pharmacy on the interstellar, live broadcast footage often dangles by his side. Although the temperament on Lan Jingchi's body has been milder now, after being chased by the camera for a while, he couldn't help feeling a little irritable.

As a popular male partner in "Dumping Interstellar", Lan Jingchi's appearance is also outstanding. In the bottom of my heart, I was calculating when I would see Duan Hengye’s Lan Jing, but I didn’t know yet. At this time, the video in his live broadcast had been cut out, and then I put it on the forum for appreciation...

Duan Hengye now has many experiences of participating in large-scale events, but it seems to be the first time to appear as an award-giving guest. Although I've seen awards given by others many times before, when it's my turn, I still feel different.

For example... Duan Hengye only discovered one thing when he actually arrived at the scene-the award ceremony did not host the scene. In other words, after a while, I will stand on the stage alone, and then either talk to myself or interact with the audience for a few minutes before the award can be awarded.

Duan Hengye has become accustomed to appearing in front of the camera, but this does not mean that he can successfully complete the speech task.

After hearing the news from the organizing committee of the conference, Duan Hengye himself was not in a hurry, but the assistant Ye Pu, who had been rushing by his side, couldn't help but frowned.

"Professor Duan, do you need me to write a speech?" Obviously...In Ye Pu's mind, Duan Hengye is not a person who can successfully do this job. Although Duan Hengye standing in the background can see that before him, many guests have written their drafts in advance. But after hearing Ye Pu's suggestion, Duan Hengye still shook his head and rejected the suggestion.

Duan Heng paused at night and said, "No, I'll just talk about it myself."

Since Duan Hengye always looks light and breezy, Ye Pu doesn't know if Duan Hengye is sure. Although a long time ago, Duan Hengye was talked about by his "ex-rival in love", and he also experienced a period of time in the class of An Luo University. But those are all related to Duan Hengye's own professional field... This time, switching to a completely unrelated topic, is Duan Hengye competent?

Although he was worried, Ye Pu was just an assistant after all. After hearing Duan Hengye express himself to play, he stopped mentioning this matter.

The award ceremony proceeded very quickly, and it didn't take long for Duan Hengye to take the stage. He stretched out his hand to tidy up the cuffs of his suit, then turned and walked towards the stage. Under a light yellow chasing light, Duan Hengye's figure slowly appeared in front of people.

Because the award-presenting guests did not walk on the red carpet, before Duan Hengye appeared here, no one could have thought that he would attend this event. As a scientific awards ceremony, there is nothing special about lighting on the stage today. It can even be said to be a bit too unspecial. But when Duan Hengye appeared under this warm light, people were still amazed by the solidity of the picture.

After a while, the applause sounded.

This is Duan Hengye's first public appearance after the press conference.
