This time, Duan Hengye did not go back to the research institute as originally planned, but returned to the Southern Zhuxing with Meng Jinhuai on the starship.The Southern Stars are not very close to the X-planet where they were just now, coupled with some time differences, by the time the starship landed at the Marshal's Mansion, it was already late at night on this planet.
If it were normal, Duan Hengye would not be sleepy at this point.But who knows that the amount of information encountered in the day today is too large, and after his mood completely calmed down, his brain became a rare chaos.After seeing the dark night sky outside the window of the starship, Duan Hengye actually felt deeply sleepy.
Meng Jinhuai's decision to go to Planet X this afternoon was a bit sudden, so after returning to Southern Zhuxing, he did not go to rest first, but rushed directly to his office to process the reports and materials received in the afternoon.
The Marshal's Mansion is currently undergoing small-scale renovation work, so Duan Hengye's residence has been moved to a room on the first floor that was once vacant.Duan Hengye returned to the bedroom in a daze, and fell asleep not long after washing.I don't know if it was affected by today's incident. Although he was very sleepy, he didn't sleep very well this time.
In his sleep, Duan Hengye dreamed of a dazzling silver light.Although he closed his eyes in time when the light came on, he could still feel the terrifying brightness through a layer of eyelids.If it is said that the dense blackness that can't be seen will bring despair to people, then why not the too dazzling silver white?
Because of this strange dream, Duan Hengye didn't sleep for a long time.When he opened his eyes again, Nan Weixing outside the window still hadn't fallen.After feeling that he was still trapped in the dark night, Duan Hengye's mood disturbed by the nightmare finally calmed down slowly.
There was only a thin slit in the curtains of Duan Hengye's bedroom. After seeing the bright and gentle satellite, he got up and sat by the bed for a while, then walked to the curtains and pulled them all open.
In an instant, soft starlight leaked in from the window.Southern Zhuxing is like spring all the year round, and beautiful ornamental plants are planted everywhere in the Marshal's Mansion.At this time, not far from Duan Hengye's window, there was a field of crimson roses that was one person tall in bloom.Seeing that there was no one in the night, Duan Hengye simply pushed the window open.
But in an instant, the cool evening breeze pushed the fragrance of flowers in from the window.The curtains that were pulled aside were also gently blown up, looking like the wings of a butterfly constantly flapping.
Duan Hengye walked to the low cabinet in the room. Although he hadn't touched it before, in his impression, the robot in charge of cleaning the room would add different drinks to the cabinet every day.Sure enough, when Duan Hengye opened the low cabinet, he saw the neatly placed drinks in it.He observed it for a while, and then took out a glass bottle of carbonated drink from it.
...Duan Hengye still knew in his heart, he knew that he was not a person suitable for drinking.
The bedroom in the Marshal's Mansion was covered with a thick carpet. Duan Hengye walked barefoot to the huge French window, then sat there with his knees folded and looked out the window.Although several hours had passed, Heng Ye was still recalling everything that happened during the day in his mind at this time.
As a practitioner of ancient martial arts, Duan Hengye has always been very sensitive to changes in the surrounding environment and whether someone is approaching.But at this time, because he was in a trance and because he was too familiar with him, Duan Hengye didn't raise his head until he could hear the clear footsteps.
Duan Hengye saw that Meng Jinhuai, who had finished his work, appeared in front of him at some point.
At this time, Meng Jinhuai took off his dark blue military uniform jacket, and put it on his arm lightly.And the white shirt under the coat is also uncommonly unbuttoned to the third position.Marshal's military uniform was tailor-made, and when the soft light of Nan Weixing shone from behind him at night, Meng Jinhuai's perfect figure was completely outlined.
As a person with very, very good eyesight, Duan Hengye felt... as if he could see the clear lines of the opponent's chest muscles.
Cough, cough... Duan Hengye moved his eyes away from Meng Jinhuai's chest unnaturally.
But even though the picture in front of him disappeared, Duan Hengye still sighed involuntarily in his heart - Meng Jinhuai's figure is really good.
In the last life, Duan Hengye practiced ancient martial arts since he was a child. Although he usually looked very thin because of his skeleton, at least he could be called "look thin when dressed, and fleshy when undressed".But after transmigrating into "Dumping Interstellar", Duan Hengye's physical fitness was very poor due to years of drug control. Although his skills had almost recovered, his figure was still the same.
Wait... now is clearly not the time to think about it.
At this time, there was only a rosebush between Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai. Although the plants in Interstellar had been specially cultivated, their flowering period was much longer than that of ordinary plants on Earth.But in Duan Hengye's impression, this bush of roses had bloomed for a while.So now, it is almost time to wither.
At this time, a gust of night wind blew from the back and side, and the flower bushes as tall as a person swayed gently in the air.At the same time, a rose petal was finally blown down by the wind, and then jumped onto Meng Jinhuai's body.
If it is not a metaphor, Duan Hengye at this moment does not look like a soldier, but like a legendary vampire.
After the gust of wind passed, Meng Jinhuai finally spoke.He reached out and took off the petals stuck to his clothes, then smiled and said to Duan Hengye: "Why are you still not resting so late?"
After speaking, Meng Jinhuai stretched out his hand to push away a sparse flower bush in front of him, then passed through it, and walked towards Duan Hengye.After all, roses are still a little thorny, Meng Jinhuai's movements are very careful, but still graceful.
Although Duan Hengye's room was on the first floor, it was still slightly higher than the outside by more than half a meter.
After walking here, Meng Jinhuai didn't come in directly through the floor-to-ceiling windows or the side door next to him, but sat directly on the window sill.Coupled with his current appearance, the whole person looks very uninhibited, which forms a great contrast with his serious and serious appearance at work.
"I fell asleep just now, but I've already woken up." Duan Hengye said.
Hearing this, Meng Jinhuai nodded, then he turned and looked out the window and said, "When I was on the levitator just now, I vaguely saw that the window of your room was wide open, so I decided to get down and take a look."
Speaking of this, Duan Hengye remembered the problem of time. He looked at the optical brain, and then found that more than three hours had passed since he and Meng Jinhuai returned to the southern stars.Unlike him, who is not yet well off with interstellar jet lag, Meng Jinhuai should have been spinning around for almost twenty hours now.
However, as a workaholic, Meng Jinhuai's state miraculously hasn't dropped at all even though he has been tossing around all day.If you just look at his appearance, I am afraid that no one can guess that he has been working continuously for so long.
"It's so late, don't you take a rest?" Duan Hengye couldn't help asking.
"En." Meng Jinhuai nodded after hearing this, and then said softly, "I'm going right away." After the words fell, Meng Jinhuai turned around and saw the bottle of drink beside Duan Hengye.
Meng Jinhuai said: "Drinking it at night is not conducive to sleep. There is a blue glass bottle with similar taste. You can try it." Hearing Meng Jinhuai's words, Duan Hengye couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise.He has been with Meng Jinhuai day and night for a period of time now, and in Duan Hengye's impression, he seems to have never seen Meng Jinhuai drinking or anything.
Marshal's temperament seemed to be insulated from those sweet drinks.
"These are old brands on Southern Zhuxing. When I was young, I would often secretly drink them behind my parents' backs. Although it has been more than ten years, I heard that the taste has not changed much." Meng Jinhuai said slowly.His voice is naturally low and extremely magnetic.When it comes to speaking, how can it be a word "Su".
But tonight, Meng Jinhuai couldn't lower his voice, and even slowed down his speaking speed.He began to talk to Duan Hengye about his own childhood - Meng Jinhuai is also a person who has no childhood.The story he told tonight deliberately avoided the war and the military department, and started talking about some short fragments of childhood.In terms of the social background of Interstellar, those stories are not special, but rather boring.
Leaving aside the protagonist Marshal, if this story is heard by other people in the interstellar world, they will definitely be evaluated as "boring".But Duan Hengye is different. He is not only a time traveler from the Earth era, but also a person who lost his childhood memories.After hearing Meng Jinhuai's words, Duan Hengye not only didn't feel bored at all, on the contrary, he would ask a few more questions from time to time.
I don't know when, Duan Hengye felt his eyelids start to fight while talking.He struggled to open his eyes several times, or tried not to yawn.But in the end, still couldn't bear the sudden sleepiness, and slowly closed his eyes against the wall beside him.
"Good night, Ah Heng." These were the last words Duan Hengye heard before falling asleep in a daze.
The huge floor-to-ceiling windows were closed again, and the heavy curtains were drawn.Due to the change of the planet where he lives, the biological clock that Duan Hengye has always been proud of has not worked this day.I don't know how long it has passed, but Duan Hengye finally woke up.
As a person who has the habit of leaving a thin slit in the curtains when sleeping, when Duan Hengye got up and saw the bedroom that was still dark without even a trace of light, he was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously stretched out his hand to close the bedroom. The optical brain touched it.
"Nanzhuxing standard time at eleven o'clock in the morning..."
Wait, Nan Zhuxing, eleven o'clock?
After seeing these numbers, Duan Hengye sat up from the bed at once.Why did I sleep until eleven o'clock?The biological clock didn't work, so why didn't the robot in the marshal's mansion wake him up on time?
As a person who has always been very punctual, Duan Hengye was taken aback when he saw the time on the optical brain.
What you need to know is that Duan Hengye did not come to the Southern Zhuxing this time for vacation, but to do business—on the starship on the return trip, Meng Jinhuai and Duan Hengye had carefully discovered that The content of a confidential document that has been cracked is said again.
So Duan Hengye now knows that the document issued by the research institute uses a new type of hidden encryption method, which has never appeared before.Even though more than ten years have passed since the document was issued, and the interstellar technology has changed by more than one generation, the relevant experts called by the military department still have not opened its core content.
Decrypting this file requires a lot of knowledge of system architecture, so as a person who has done a lot of research in this field and the director of the Yetian Empire Mecha Research Institute, if Duan Hengye can join the decryption team, it will definitely be of great help. effect.
Duan Hengye remembered... Meng Jinhuai said yesterday that the first meeting of the declassification activity will start at [-] o'clock, Southern Zhuxing Standard Time.In other words, the moment Duan Hengye woke up, he was already doomed to be late.
But after seeing where he was at this time, Duan Hengye remembered another thing—in his impression, he seemed to have accidentally fallen asleep leaning against the wall last night, so what happened this morning? back to bed...
It seems impossible to think about it...and now is not the time to think about it.
After confirming again that there was no reminder from his assistant Ye Pu in his optical brain, Duan Hengye took out a sweater from the closet and walked quickly to the bathroom.
As the dean of the research institute, the original owner has always dressed in a more formal style, and after coming here, Heng Ye's styling has been in charge of a special staff member for a small period of time.So over time, Duan Hengye has gradually gotten used to the same dressing style as the original owner.
But this morning, because he was too anxious, Duan Hengye directly took out a piece from the closet that was relatively obvious and pleasing to the eye.And when he finished washing and changed his clothes and was about to go out, Duan Hengye realized that his current style was completely different from his previous style... On the contrary, it was not much different from the habitual clothes of his previous life.
As an otaku who spends years in the laboratory, Duan Hengye focuses on comfort in his daily wear.Naturally, this sweater became his first choice.
Duan Hengye, who was standing at the door, stared at the black loose sweater he was wearing, and finally gritted his teeth and continued walking quickly towards the conference room Meng Jinhuai had mentioned earlier.
Now that he was late for a while, Duan Hengye didn't want to waste any more time.
……
At this time, the conference room that Heng Ye was going to was extremely quiet. The small room was almost full of people, but there was no sound coming out.
If a passer-by sees it, they will definitely exclaim at the identities of the participants - not only the head of the security system of Southern Zhuxing, but also the two generals of the military department, as well as Marshal Meng Jinhuai, they are all present .
Time passed by every minute and every second, and finally an unfamiliar baby-faced man glanced at the light brain. After reading the time, he hesitated, and finally said to Meng Jinhuai: "Master Marshal, it is already eleven twenty Alright, isn't our meeting starting yet?"
He asked the doubts of everyone in the conference room.
Hearing this, Meng Jinhuai, who had been silent all this time, glanced at the door and said, "It's coming soon, there is still a technical expert who came to assist you and has not arrived."
After hearing Meng Jinhuai's words, the baby-faced person who asked the question just now couldn't help but smile, and he continued: "Master Marshal, don't you trust me, and don't you trust your team? In terms of data file decryption, we are definitely the best in the interstellar world." The person with the most right to speak, even the experts of the royal family, has no way to compare with us." There was a sense of self-confidence in his tone that could not be ignored.
The person who spoke was the person in charge of an organization under Southern Zhuxing, just like the organization that Duan Hengye found by mistake last time to clone drugs for him.This organization is also standing at the top of the pyramid in its own industry, but apart from a few insiders, no one in the interstellar world can connect them with the Southern Zhuxing.
Not only the person in charge of this organization said this, but even Admiral Yu Xinlan who was sitting next to Meng Jinhuai showed doubts, and then she said to Meng Jinhuai: "Yes, Marshal, we can actually start the meeting first .”
Yu Xinlan's voice here hadn't completely finished yet, and in the blink of an eye, there was a notification sound that the door opened at the entrance of the conference room on the other side.
Except for Meng Jinhuai and several high-level military officials, the rest of the people at the scene were from the organization under the Southern Zhuxing.After hearing the notification at the door, everyone cast their gazes over at the same time, waiting to see who exactly Meng Jinhuai invited here today.
The address of this meeting room is very close to Duan Hengye's bedroom, so he didn't take the indoor mobile tool, but walked over quickly by himself.Because he walked in a hurry, Duan Hengye's breathing was a little short when he entered the door, and beads of sweat hung on his forehead.
The door of the meeting room opened, Duan Hengye first took a breath, and then suddenly bowed slightly to the people in the room.Because of the hurry to leave just now, he explained in a hoarse voice: "I'm really sorry, I didn't hear the reminder from the robot this morning... I'm so late."
As a person who doesn't like to be late, Duan Hengye couldn't help but feel embarrassed when he explained, and then lowered his head.
Duan Hengye's hair has been a little long recently, and because he lowered his head and bowed when he spoke, half of his face was covered, only a pointed chin was exposed.For a moment, no one in the conference room recognized him.
Even Yu Xinlan, an old acquaintance of Duan Hengye, was stunned for a moment, and then said to the "stranger" who broke in suddenly: "Uh... Mister, you can find a seat first. "
Although the staff of several relevant institutions who came to the meeting today did not wear formal attire, they also changed into plaid shirts anyway.So from Yu Xinlan's point of view, the man who suddenly broke into the conference room was dressed a little too casually, let's talk about the jeans first, especially the sweater with the pattern printed on the back - directly asked her to ask if the man just graduated from high school Doubts about graduation.
That's right, until now, Duan Hengye, who came out in a hurry, didn't see that the pure black sweater he chose actually had a large print on the back.
Of course Duan Hengye heard that Yu Xinlan didn't recognize him, but because he was late and anxious, he didn't explain, but walked quickly to the only vacant seat at the round table.This is directly opposite to Meng Jinhuai, although there is nothing special about the round table meeting, but since you are sitting in this position, you will feel like a big shot is here.
After Duan Hengye entered and took a seat, everyone finally turned their eyes back and began to look at the light screen in front of them.But at this moment, Meng Jinhuai suddenly said: "It's okay, it's not your fault, I turned off the time reminder function of the robot."
The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly froze.
Yu Xinlan, who was looking down at Guangnao, was the first to raise her head up slowly, and then looked at the person who came... If her common sense is correct, Meng Jinhuai wanted to turn off the robot that woke people up, Then you have to go to his bedroom.
... So, who is this sweater man with long bangs?
The answer seems to be right in front of people's eyes.
Immediately following Admiral Yu, the rest of the people couldn't help but silently cast their gazes over.After hearing Meng Jinhuai's words, Duan Hengye didn't react for a while, he couldn't help but looked up at Meng Jinhuai, and replied "Oh" a little bluntly.
……
This face is actually Duan Hengye!
After seeing clearly, Yu Xinlan silently moved the chair back a little, then glanced at the print on the opponent's sweater, and double-checked what he was wearing.In the general's impression, Duan Hengye is not such a person...
At the same time, the eyes of the rest of the people lit up, especially the baby-faced man who spoke at the beginning.Although he could see clearly that the person in front of him was indeed Duan Hengye, he still couldn't help but tentatively called out to him: "Professor Duan".
Although Duan Hengye didn't understand what he was going to do, he still turned his gaze over there. He was silent for a while, and then said to the other party's shining eyes, "...good morning."
"Good morning! Professor Duan!" I don't know if it was an illusion, but Duan Heng nightclub raised this young man whom he had never seen before as if he was going to cry at this moment.Duan Hengye is not good at socializing, and he has no experience in dealing with such scenes. Although he has already seen the excitement of the person opposite, he still silently shifted his gaze back to his own optical brain again.
In fact, the worship of Duan Hengye by the people in front of me is also understandable. There is a great overlap between the work of deciphering documents and the knowledge related to systematics.The last time Duan Hengye helped the military to repair system loopholes, it has already spread throughout the interstellar.In addition to arousing the amazement of the onlookers, practitioners in related industries directly regard Duan Hengye as an idol in life.
As the person in charge of the subordinate organization of Southern Zhuxing, the baby face in front of him originally regarded Duan Hengye as an idol because of the mecha.After what happened last time, he was even more looking forward to meeting his idol one day.
The person in charge took another sneak peek at Duan Hengye's clothes, and then added from the bottom of his heart——and he's still such a down-to-earth idol!
Let’s recall what happened when Duan Hengye entered the door again. If he hadn’t had a memory bias due to excitement, when he just entered the door, Duan Hengye seemed to bow to himself because he was late... Happened in an instant.
Although Yu Xinlan still couldn't help but sigh Duan Hengye's clothes today, but as an experienced military staff member.After Duan Hengye, the "special technical expert invited by the Marshal" arrived, she consciously began to host the peace meeting.
"Good morning, everyone. First of all, everyone has more or less understood the meaning of the document, and the Marshal and the military also maintain a high degree of trust in everyone. But according to the procedure, we still need to ask everyone to wear monitors." After finishing speaking Afterwards, Yu Xinlan glanced at Meng Jinhuai who was sitting beside her, and after the other party nodded, she stretched out her hand and clicked on the optical brain a few times.
In an instant, the originally flat conference table cracked several fine cracks, and then the metal box appeared in front of those who were not wearing military uniforms.
Yu Xinlan said: "Before the meeting starts, please put it on."
Duan Hengye had never seen this so-called "monitor", so when the person sitting next to him opened the box, he couldn't help casting curious eyes on the staff member who had never seen it before. .
At this moment, Meng Jinhuai, who had not spoken much, suddenly explained to Duan Hengye: "The monitors they wear can only be released at the military headquarters. In the next period of time, the monitors will actually pay attention to the surrounding environment. There are also the language, movements and even emotions of the wearer. When the military conducts activities that require confidentiality, participants must wear it."
Hearing this, Duan Hengye nodded thoughtfully.At this time, the optical brain prompts came from the office one after another, proving that everyone has put on the monitors one after another.
Seeing this, Yu Xinlan looked around the venue and finally began to talk about the official content of the meeting after confirming that it was correct.
... Although Duan Hengye had already known the whole story from Meng Jinhuai before, when Yu Xinlan told the simplified version of the matter, he still fell into an inexplicable emotion.
It was only after Duan Hengye raised his head that he found that Meng Jinhuai, who was sitting opposite him, had been silently watching Yu Xinlan while talking.Involuntarily, Duan Hengye's mood also relaxed, and he began to continue to focus on what Yu Xinlan said.
Unlike Duan Hengye who already knew the details of this incident, after hearing Yu Xinlan's narration, Duan Hengye saw that several staff members around him couldn't help but grow their mouths slowly.Obviously, no one could have imagined that there was such a background behind that confidential document.
Involuntarily, their gazes at Duan Hengye gradually became more complicated, but then they discovered that, as the person involved in the incident, Duan Hengye seemed calmer than anyone else.
After Yu Xinlan finished speaking, Meng Jinhuai nodded, and then motioned to the person in charge of the agency responsible for the primary decryption a few days ago to explain the confidentiality of the documents to Duan Hengye.
Seeing this, the baby face who had been named immediately stood up excitedly.He didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to tell his idol about the work progress today and complete the project with him.
Although he was a little bit excited, he calmed down in an instant when he thought of the heavy meaning behind this incident.The man pursed his lips, then connected his optical brain with the large optical screen in the meeting room, and began to analyze the confidentiality type of the document for Duan Hengye, and by the way, told about his team's preliminary cracking process.
In fact, the staff member who spoke was a little apprehensive at the beginning. After all, although he had read a lot of reports and materials about Duan Hengye on Xingwang.com, as a rational adult, he had always been clear: The people in the report are definitely not exactly the same as the people in real life.
As the dean of the research institute, Duan Hengye should be a very serious and strict person in this field no matter how you look at it.So when he told Duan Hengye about his recent work, he was more nervous.
But I didn't expect that Duan Hengye not only didn't frown when he was listening to his work, but also lowered his head and carefully recorded it on his optical brain.Duan Hengye's appearance is very focused, which is undoubtedly a great encouragement to this "fan".
In fact, it didn't take long from the discovery of the encrypted file by the relevant staff of the military department to the preliminary decryption by the team.Compared with the weapon structure diagram hidden in the core security area, the peripheral information and the sending record of this document are not so important, and it is not too difficult to decipher.
The real complexities are just beginning, but even this group of extremely professional staff has no clue at the moment.
Finally, his explanation stopped here.Before he knew it, more than an hour had passed.Everyone present knows that today's meeting is just the beginning of the deciphering work.But facing the encrypted files on the light screen like an iron wall, no matter how rich the work experience is, they can't help showing a tangled expression.
This job has nothing to do with the word "simple", and it can even be described as "tricky".
After the introduction, the meeting entered a period of suspension and recuperation. As the marshal, Meng Jinhuai temporarily left here to deal with other tasks of the military department.At this time, the robot also brought coffee to the rest of the people. Duan Hengye propped his chin with one hand, and with the other hand, he repeatedly and quickly swipe through the failed cracking records.His expression was still the same as before, and he didn't show any special emotions. Even facing such a complicated thing, he didn't frown much.
Although Meng Jinhuai went out temporarily, Yu Xinlan and Dongfang Hewen still stayed in the meeting room.With these two generals in charge, the house was still very quiet during the rest period.The staff responsible for deciphering the documents gathered together in twos and threes, quietly studying the problems at work.Some people would look up at Duan Hengye from time to time, but they didn't have the courage to talk to him.
But... the old acquaintance Yu Xinlan is different.
In her opinion, compared with those tense workers, Duan Hengye, who was resting his chin on his hands and reading documents while drinking coffee, was extremely calm.
General Yu finally couldn't bear it and walked to Duan Hengye's side, and then jokingly asked: "Why is Professor Duan so calm? Although I don't understand, but from the description, I feel that this job is not easy..." Hearing her words, Duan Hengye shifted his gaze from the optical brain to the coffee cup, then nodded with a "hmm".
Seeing this, Yu Xinlan couldn't help but glanced at Duan Hengye's densely packed notes, and then asked casually, "You're so calm, maybe you already have an idea."
Duan Hengye didn't answer Yu Xinlan's question directly, he just sat up straight again, then nodded silently.
Everyone in the conference room was secretly observing Duan Hengye, and after seeing his movements, all the original whispers stopped.
Duan Hengye, were you joking just now?
"..."
If it were normal, Duan Hengye would not be sleepy at this point.But who knows that the amount of information encountered in the day today is too large, and after his mood completely calmed down, his brain became a rare chaos.After seeing the dark night sky outside the window of the starship, Duan Hengye actually felt deeply sleepy.
Meng Jinhuai's decision to go to Planet X this afternoon was a bit sudden, so after returning to Southern Zhuxing, he did not go to rest first, but rushed directly to his office to process the reports and materials received in the afternoon.
The Marshal's Mansion is currently undergoing small-scale renovation work, so Duan Hengye's residence has been moved to a room on the first floor that was once vacant.Duan Hengye returned to the bedroom in a daze, and fell asleep not long after washing.I don't know if it was affected by today's incident. Although he was very sleepy, he didn't sleep very well this time.
In his sleep, Duan Hengye dreamed of a dazzling silver light.Although he closed his eyes in time when the light came on, he could still feel the terrifying brightness through a layer of eyelids.If it is said that the dense blackness that can't be seen will bring despair to people, then why not the too dazzling silver white?
Because of this strange dream, Duan Hengye didn't sleep for a long time.When he opened his eyes again, Nan Weixing outside the window still hadn't fallen.After feeling that he was still trapped in the dark night, Duan Hengye's mood disturbed by the nightmare finally calmed down slowly.
There was only a thin slit in the curtains of Duan Hengye's bedroom. After seeing the bright and gentle satellite, he got up and sat by the bed for a while, then walked to the curtains and pulled them all open.
In an instant, soft starlight leaked in from the window.Southern Zhuxing is like spring all the year round, and beautiful ornamental plants are planted everywhere in the Marshal's Mansion.At this time, not far from Duan Hengye's window, there was a field of crimson roses that was one person tall in bloom.Seeing that there was no one in the night, Duan Hengye simply pushed the window open.
But in an instant, the cool evening breeze pushed the fragrance of flowers in from the window.The curtains that were pulled aside were also gently blown up, looking like the wings of a butterfly constantly flapping.
Duan Hengye walked to the low cabinet in the room. Although he hadn't touched it before, in his impression, the robot in charge of cleaning the room would add different drinks to the cabinet every day.Sure enough, when Duan Hengye opened the low cabinet, he saw the neatly placed drinks in it.He observed it for a while, and then took out a glass bottle of carbonated drink from it.
...Duan Hengye still knew in his heart, he knew that he was not a person suitable for drinking.
The bedroom in the Marshal's Mansion was covered with a thick carpet. Duan Hengye walked barefoot to the huge French window, then sat there with his knees folded and looked out the window.Although several hours had passed, Heng Ye was still recalling everything that happened during the day in his mind at this time.
As a practitioner of ancient martial arts, Duan Hengye has always been very sensitive to changes in the surrounding environment and whether someone is approaching.But at this time, because he was in a trance and because he was too familiar with him, Duan Hengye didn't raise his head until he could hear the clear footsteps.
Duan Hengye saw that Meng Jinhuai, who had finished his work, appeared in front of him at some point.
At this time, Meng Jinhuai took off his dark blue military uniform jacket, and put it on his arm lightly.And the white shirt under the coat is also uncommonly unbuttoned to the third position.Marshal's military uniform was tailor-made, and when the soft light of Nan Weixing shone from behind him at night, Meng Jinhuai's perfect figure was completely outlined.
As a person with very, very good eyesight, Duan Hengye felt... as if he could see the clear lines of the opponent's chest muscles.
Cough, cough... Duan Hengye moved his eyes away from Meng Jinhuai's chest unnaturally.
But even though the picture in front of him disappeared, Duan Hengye still sighed involuntarily in his heart - Meng Jinhuai's figure is really good.
In the last life, Duan Hengye practiced ancient martial arts since he was a child. Although he usually looked very thin because of his skeleton, at least he could be called "look thin when dressed, and fleshy when undressed".But after transmigrating into "Dumping Interstellar", Duan Hengye's physical fitness was very poor due to years of drug control. Although his skills had almost recovered, his figure was still the same.
Wait... now is clearly not the time to think about it.
At this time, there was only a rosebush between Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai. Although the plants in Interstellar had been specially cultivated, their flowering period was much longer than that of ordinary plants on Earth.But in Duan Hengye's impression, this bush of roses had bloomed for a while.So now, it is almost time to wither.
At this time, a gust of night wind blew from the back and side, and the flower bushes as tall as a person swayed gently in the air.At the same time, a rose petal was finally blown down by the wind, and then jumped onto Meng Jinhuai's body.
If it is not a metaphor, Duan Hengye at this moment does not look like a soldier, but like a legendary vampire.
After the gust of wind passed, Meng Jinhuai finally spoke.He reached out and took off the petals stuck to his clothes, then smiled and said to Duan Hengye: "Why are you still not resting so late?"
After speaking, Meng Jinhuai stretched out his hand to push away a sparse flower bush in front of him, then passed through it, and walked towards Duan Hengye.After all, roses are still a little thorny, Meng Jinhuai's movements are very careful, but still graceful.
Although Duan Hengye's room was on the first floor, it was still slightly higher than the outside by more than half a meter.
After walking here, Meng Jinhuai didn't come in directly through the floor-to-ceiling windows or the side door next to him, but sat directly on the window sill.Coupled with his current appearance, the whole person looks very uninhibited, which forms a great contrast with his serious and serious appearance at work.
"I fell asleep just now, but I've already woken up." Duan Hengye said.
Hearing this, Meng Jinhuai nodded, then he turned and looked out the window and said, "When I was on the levitator just now, I vaguely saw that the window of your room was wide open, so I decided to get down and take a look."
Speaking of this, Duan Hengye remembered the problem of time. He looked at the optical brain, and then found that more than three hours had passed since he and Meng Jinhuai returned to the southern stars.Unlike him, who is not yet well off with interstellar jet lag, Meng Jinhuai should have been spinning around for almost twenty hours now.
However, as a workaholic, Meng Jinhuai's state miraculously hasn't dropped at all even though he has been tossing around all day.If you just look at his appearance, I am afraid that no one can guess that he has been working continuously for so long.
"It's so late, don't you take a rest?" Duan Hengye couldn't help asking.
"En." Meng Jinhuai nodded after hearing this, and then said softly, "I'm going right away." After the words fell, Meng Jinhuai turned around and saw the bottle of drink beside Duan Hengye.
Meng Jinhuai said: "Drinking it at night is not conducive to sleep. There is a blue glass bottle with similar taste. You can try it." Hearing Meng Jinhuai's words, Duan Hengye couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise.He has been with Meng Jinhuai day and night for a period of time now, and in Duan Hengye's impression, he seems to have never seen Meng Jinhuai drinking or anything.
Marshal's temperament seemed to be insulated from those sweet drinks.
"These are old brands on Southern Zhuxing. When I was young, I would often secretly drink them behind my parents' backs. Although it has been more than ten years, I heard that the taste has not changed much." Meng Jinhuai said slowly.His voice is naturally low and extremely magnetic.When it comes to speaking, how can it be a word "Su".
But tonight, Meng Jinhuai couldn't lower his voice, and even slowed down his speaking speed.He began to talk to Duan Hengye about his own childhood - Meng Jinhuai is also a person who has no childhood.The story he told tonight deliberately avoided the war and the military department, and started talking about some short fragments of childhood.In terms of the social background of Interstellar, those stories are not special, but rather boring.
Leaving aside the protagonist Marshal, if this story is heard by other people in the interstellar world, they will definitely be evaluated as "boring".But Duan Hengye is different. He is not only a time traveler from the Earth era, but also a person who lost his childhood memories.After hearing Meng Jinhuai's words, Duan Hengye not only didn't feel bored at all, on the contrary, he would ask a few more questions from time to time.
I don't know when, Duan Hengye felt his eyelids start to fight while talking.He struggled to open his eyes several times, or tried not to yawn.But in the end, still couldn't bear the sudden sleepiness, and slowly closed his eyes against the wall beside him.
"Good night, Ah Heng." These were the last words Duan Hengye heard before falling asleep in a daze.
The huge floor-to-ceiling windows were closed again, and the heavy curtains were drawn.Due to the change of the planet where he lives, the biological clock that Duan Hengye has always been proud of has not worked this day.I don't know how long it has passed, but Duan Hengye finally woke up.
As a person who has the habit of leaving a thin slit in the curtains when sleeping, when Duan Hengye got up and saw the bedroom that was still dark without even a trace of light, he was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously stretched out his hand to close the bedroom. The optical brain touched it.
"Nanzhuxing standard time at eleven o'clock in the morning..."
Wait, Nan Zhuxing, eleven o'clock?
After seeing these numbers, Duan Hengye sat up from the bed at once.Why did I sleep until eleven o'clock?The biological clock didn't work, so why didn't the robot in the marshal's mansion wake him up on time?
As a person who has always been very punctual, Duan Hengye was taken aback when he saw the time on the optical brain.
What you need to know is that Duan Hengye did not come to the Southern Zhuxing this time for vacation, but to do business—on the starship on the return trip, Meng Jinhuai and Duan Hengye had carefully discovered that The content of a confidential document that has been cracked is said again.
So Duan Hengye now knows that the document issued by the research institute uses a new type of hidden encryption method, which has never appeared before.Even though more than ten years have passed since the document was issued, and the interstellar technology has changed by more than one generation, the relevant experts called by the military department still have not opened its core content.
Decrypting this file requires a lot of knowledge of system architecture, so as a person who has done a lot of research in this field and the director of the Yetian Empire Mecha Research Institute, if Duan Hengye can join the decryption team, it will definitely be of great help. effect.
Duan Hengye remembered... Meng Jinhuai said yesterday that the first meeting of the declassification activity will start at [-] o'clock, Southern Zhuxing Standard Time.In other words, the moment Duan Hengye woke up, he was already doomed to be late.
But after seeing where he was at this time, Duan Hengye remembered another thing—in his impression, he seemed to have accidentally fallen asleep leaning against the wall last night, so what happened this morning? back to bed...
It seems impossible to think about it...and now is not the time to think about it.
After confirming again that there was no reminder from his assistant Ye Pu in his optical brain, Duan Hengye took out a sweater from the closet and walked quickly to the bathroom.
As the dean of the research institute, the original owner has always dressed in a more formal style, and after coming here, Heng Ye's styling has been in charge of a special staff member for a small period of time.So over time, Duan Hengye has gradually gotten used to the same dressing style as the original owner.
But this morning, because he was too anxious, Duan Hengye directly took out a piece from the closet that was relatively obvious and pleasing to the eye.And when he finished washing and changed his clothes and was about to go out, Duan Hengye realized that his current style was completely different from his previous style... On the contrary, it was not much different from the habitual clothes of his previous life.
As an otaku who spends years in the laboratory, Duan Hengye focuses on comfort in his daily wear.Naturally, this sweater became his first choice.
Duan Hengye, who was standing at the door, stared at the black loose sweater he was wearing, and finally gritted his teeth and continued walking quickly towards the conference room Meng Jinhuai had mentioned earlier.
Now that he was late for a while, Duan Hengye didn't want to waste any more time.
……
At this time, the conference room that Heng Ye was going to was extremely quiet. The small room was almost full of people, but there was no sound coming out.
If a passer-by sees it, they will definitely exclaim at the identities of the participants - not only the head of the security system of Southern Zhuxing, but also the two generals of the military department, as well as Marshal Meng Jinhuai, they are all present .
Time passed by every minute and every second, and finally an unfamiliar baby-faced man glanced at the light brain. After reading the time, he hesitated, and finally said to Meng Jinhuai: "Master Marshal, it is already eleven twenty Alright, isn't our meeting starting yet?"
He asked the doubts of everyone in the conference room.
Hearing this, Meng Jinhuai, who had been silent all this time, glanced at the door and said, "It's coming soon, there is still a technical expert who came to assist you and has not arrived."
After hearing Meng Jinhuai's words, the baby-faced person who asked the question just now couldn't help but smile, and he continued: "Master Marshal, don't you trust me, and don't you trust your team? In terms of data file decryption, we are definitely the best in the interstellar world." The person with the most right to speak, even the experts of the royal family, has no way to compare with us." There was a sense of self-confidence in his tone that could not be ignored.
The person who spoke was the person in charge of an organization under Southern Zhuxing, just like the organization that Duan Hengye found by mistake last time to clone drugs for him.This organization is also standing at the top of the pyramid in its own industry, but apart from a few insiders, no one in the interstellar world can connect them with the Southern Zhuxing.
Not only the person in charge of this organization said this, but even Admiral Yu Xinlan who was sitting next to Meng Jinhuai showed doubts, and then she said to Meng Jinhuai: "Yes, Marshal, we can actually start the meeting first .”
Yu Xinlan's voice here hadn't completely finished yet, and in the blink of an eye, there was a notification sound that the door opened at the entrance of the conference room on the other side.
Except for Meng Jinhuai and several high-level military officials, the rest of the people at the scene were from the organization under the Southern Zhuxing.After hearing the notification at the door, everyone cast their gazes over at the same time, waiting to see who exactly Meng Jinhuai invited here today.
The address of this meeting room is very close to Duan Hengye's bedroom, so he didn't take the indoor mobile tool, but walked over quickly by himself.Because he walked in a hurry, Duan Hengye's breathing was a little short when he entered the door, and beads of sweat hung on his forehead.
The door of the meeting room opened, Duan Hengye first took a breath, and then suddenly bowed slightly to the people in the room.Because of the hurry to leave just now, he explained in a hoarse voice: "I'm really sorry, I didn't hear the reminder from the robot this morning... I'm so late."
As a person who doesn't like to be late, Duan Hengye couldn't help but feel embarrassed when he explained, and then lowered his head.
Duan Hengye's hair has been a little long recently, and because he lowered his head and bowed when he spoke, half of his face was covered, only a pointed chin was exposed.For a moment, no one in the conference room recognized him.
Even Yu Xinlan, an old acquaintance of Duan Hengye, was stunned for a moment, and then said to the "stranger" who broke in suddenly: "Uh... Mister, you can find a seat first. "
Although the staff of several relevant institutions who came to the meeting today did not wear formal attire, they also changed into plaid shirts anyway.So from Yu Xinlan's point of view, the man who suddenly broke into the conference room was dressed a little too casually, let's talk about the jeans first, especially the sweater with the pattern printed on the back - directly asked her to ask if the man just graduated from high school Doubts about graduation.
That's right, until now, Duan Hengye, who came out in a hurry, didn't see that the pure black sweater he chose actually had a large print on the back.
Of course Duan Hengye heard that Yu Xinlan didn't recognize him, but because he was late and anxious, he didn't explain, but walked quickly to the only vacant seat at the round table.This is directly opposite to Meng Jinhuai, although there is nothing special about the round table meeting, but since you are sitting in this position, you will feel like a big shot is here.
After Duan Hengye entered and took a seat, everyone finally turned their eyes back and began to look at the light screen in front of them.But at this moment, Meng Jinhuai suddenly said: "It's okay, it's not your fault, I turned off the time reminder function of the robot."
The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly froze.
Yu Xinlan, who was looking down at Guangnao, was the first to raise her head up slowly, and then looked at the person who came... If her common sense is correct, Meng Jinhuai wanted to turn off the robot that woke people up, Then you have to go to his bedroom.
... So, who is this sweater man with long bangs?
The answer seems to be right in front of people's eyes.
Immediately following Admiral Yu, the rest of the people couldn't help but silently cast their gazes over.After hearing Meng Jinhuai's words, Duan Hengye didn't react for a while, he couldn't help but looked up at Meng Jinhuai, and replied "Oh" a little bluntly.
……
This face is actually Duan Hengye!
After seeing clearly, Yu Xinlan silently moved the chair back a little, then glanced at the print on the opponent's sweater, and double-checked what he was wearing.In the general's impression, Duan Hengye is not such a person...
At the same time, the eyes of the rest of the people lit up, especially the baby-faced man who spoke at the beginning.Although he could see clearly that the person in front of him was indeed Duan Hengye, he still couldn't help but tentatively called out to him: "Professor Duan".
Although Duan Hengye didn't understand what he was going to do, he still turned his gaze over there. He was silent for a while, and then said to the other party's shining eyes, "...good morning."
"Good morning! Professor Duan!" I don't know if it was an illusion, but Duan Heng nightclub raised this young man whom he had never seen before as if he was going to cry at this moment.Duan Hengye is not good at socializing, and he has no experience in dealing with such scenes. Although he has already seen the excitement of the person opposite, he still silently shifted his gaze back to his own optical brain again.
In fact, the worship of Duan Hengye by the people in front of me is also understandable. There is a great overlap between the work of deciphering documents and the knowledge related to systematics.The last time Duan Hengye helped the military to repair system loopholes, it has already spread throughout the interstellar.In addition to arousing the amazement of the onlookers, practitioners in related industries directly regard Duan Hengye as an idol in life.
As the person in charge of the subordinate organization of Southern Zhuxing, the baby face in front of him originally regarded Duan Hengye as an idol because of the mecha.After what happened last time, he was even more looking forward to meeting his idol one day.
The person in charge took another sneak peek at Duan Hengye's clothes, and then added from the bottom of his heart——and he's still such a down-to-earth idol!
Let’s recall what happened when Duan Hengye entered the door again. If he hadn’t had a memory bias due to excitement, when he just entered the door, Duan Hengye seemed to bow to himself because he was late... Happened in an instant.
Although Yu Xinlan still couldn't help but sigh Duan Hengye's clothes today, but as an experienced military staff member.After Duan Hengye, the "special technical expert invited by the Marshal" arrived, she consciously began to host the peace meeting.
"Good morning, everyone. First of all, everyone has more or less understood the meaning of the document, and the Marshal and the military also maintain a high degree of trust in everyone. But according to the procedure, we still need to ask everyone to wear monitors." After finishing speaking Afterwards, Yu Xinlan glanced at Meng Jinhuai who was sitting beside her, and after the other party nodded, she stretched out her hand and clicked on the optical brain a few times.
In an instant, the originally flat conference table cracked several fine cracks, and then the metal box appeared in front of those who were not wearing military uniforms.
Yu Xinlan said: "Before the meeting starts, please put it on."
Duan Hengye had never seen this so-called "monitor", so when the person sitting next to him opened the box, he couldn't help casting curious eyes on the staff member who had never seen it before. .
At this moment, Meng Jinhuai, who had not spoken much, suddenly explained to Duan Hengye: "The monitors they wear can only be released at the military headquarters. In the next period of time, the monitors will actually pay attention to the surrounding environment. There are also the language, movements and even emotions of the wearer. When the military conducts activities that require confidentiality, participants must wear it."
Hearing this, Duan Hengye nodded thoughtfully.At this time, the optical brain prompts came from the office one after another, proving that everyone has put on the monitors one after another.
Seeing this, Yu Xinlan looked around the venue and finally began to talk about the official content of the meeting after confirming that it was correct.
... Although Duan Hengye had already known the whole story from Meng Jinhuai before, when Yu Xinlan told the simplified version of the matter, he still fell into an inexplicable emotion.
It was only after Duan Hengye raised his head that he found that Meng Jinhuai, who was sitting opposite him, had been silently watching Yu Xinlan while talking.Involuntarily, Duan Hengye's mood also relaxed, and he began to continue to focus on what Yu Xinlan said.
Unlike Duan Hengye who already knew the details of this incident, after hearing Yu Xinlan's narration, Duan Hengye saw that several staff members around him couldn't help but grow their mouths slowly.Obviously, no one could have imagined that there was such a background behind that confidential document.
Involuntarily, their gazes at Duan Hengye gradually became more complicated, but then they discovered that, as the person involved in the incident, Duan Hengye seemed calmer than anyone else.
After Yu Xinlan finished speaking, Meng Jinhuai nodded, and then motioned to the person in charge of the agency responsible for the primary decryption a few days ago to explain the confidentiality of the documents to Duan Hengye.
Seeing this, the baby face who had been named immediately stood up excitedly.He didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to tell his idol about the work progress today and complete the project with him.
Although he was a little bit excited, he calmed down in an instant when he thought of the heavy meaning behind this incident.The man pursed his lips, then connected his optical brain with the large optical screen in the meeting room, and began to analyze the confidentiality type of the document for Duan Hengye, and by the way, told about his team's preliminary cracking process.
In fact, the staff member who spoke was a little apprehensive at the beginning. After all, although he had read a lot of reports and materials about Duan Hengye on Xingwang.com, as a rational adult, he had always been clear: The people in the report are definitely not exactly the same as the people in real life.
As the dean of the research institute, Duan Hengye should be a very serious and strict person in this field no matter how you look at it.So when he told Duan Hengye about his recent work, he was more nervous.
But I didn't expect that Duan Hengye not only didn't frown when he was listening to his work, but also lowered his head and carefully recorded it on his optical brain.Duan Hengye's appearance is very focused, which is undoubtedly a great encouragement to this "fan".
In fact, it didn't take long from the discovery of the encrypted file by the relevant staff of the military department to the preliminary decryption by the team.Compared with the weapon structure diagram hidden in the core security area, the peripheral information and the sending record of this document are not so important, and it is not too difficult to decipher.
The real complexities are just beginning, but even this group of extremely professional staff has no clue at the moment.
Finally, his explanation stopped here.Before he knew it, more than an hour had passed.Everyone present knows that today's meeting is just the beginning of the deciphering work.But facing the encrypted files on the light screen like an iron wall, no matter how rich the work experience is, they can't help showing a tangled expression.
This job has nothing to do with the word "simple", and it can even be described as "tricky".
After the introduction, the meeting entered a period of suspension and recuperation. As the marshal, Meng Jinhuai temporarily left here to deal with other tasks of the military department.At this time, the robot also brought coffee to the rest of the people. Duan Hengye propped his chin with one hand, and with the other hand, he repeatedly and quickly swipe through the failed cracking records.His expression was still the same as before, and he didn't show any special emotions. Even facing such a complicated thing, he didn't frown much.
Although Meng Jinhuai went out temporarily, Yu Xinlan and Dongfang Hewen still stayed in the meeting room.With these two generals in charge, the house was still very quiet during the rest period.The staff responsible for deciphering the documents gathered together in twos and threes, quietly studying the problems at work.Some people would look up at Duan Hengye from time to time, but they didn't have the courage to talk to him.
But... the old acquaintance Yu Xinlan is different.
In her opinion, compared with those tense workers, Duan Hengye, who was resting his chin on his hands and reading documents while drinking coffee, was extremely calm.
General Yu finally couldn't bear it and walked to Duan Hengye's side, and then jokingly asked: "Why is Professor Duan so calm? Although I don't understand, but from the description, I feel that this job is not easy..." Hearing her words, Duan Hengye shifted his gaze from the optical brain to the coffee cup, then nodded with a "hmm".
Seeing this, Yu Xinlan couldn't help but glanced at Duan Hengye's densely packed notes, and then asked casually, "You're so calm, maybe you already have an idea."
Duan Hengye didn't answer Yu Xinlan's question directly, he just sat up straight again, then nodded silently.
Everyone in the conference room was secretly observing Duan Hengye, and after seeing his movements, all the original whispers stopped.
Duan Hengye, were you joking just now?
"..."
