Time passed day by day, and in the repetitive and peaceful days of Interstellar, Southern Zhuxing was still as busy as ever, and the progress of the Mech Research Institute's work has never slowed down.At the same time, the capital of Yetian Empire is still so bustling and lively, there will be a new banquet every few days.

The most well-known identity of Duan Hengye used to be that besides the director of the research institute, he also had the orphan label of "a scientist adopted by the queen's family".

In fact, the original owner has always maintained a relatively close relationship with the Queen's family - especially before getting married.After marriage, although the original owner has reduced the number of activities related to the queen's family compared to before, she still shows her face in the activities there from time to time.

Calculating carefully, it seems that since Duan Hengye entered "Dumping Interstellar", he suddenly lost contact with the Queen's family.Of course, they would send invitations to Duan Hengye from time to time, but he would always refuse for various reasons.

But this time, Duan Hengye finally encountered a reason that he couldn't refuse.

The father of the current empress of Yetian Empire, Duan Hengye's nominal "adoptive father", suddenly contracted a sudden illness, and directly contacted Duan Hengye, saying that he wanted to see him.

In this era, "sickness" is a very distant thing for most people, and some people don't even know what it feels like to be sick all their lives.As the father of the current queen, the already elderly duke has been fed with good food and drink all his life.As far as Duan Hengye is concerned, the other party's age has already exceeded the average life expectancy of people in the interstellar era.

But no matter how rich one is, no one can resist the laws of nature.

Now that Mr. Duke suddenly fell ill, and the news of his bad condition has spread throughout the interstellar.Everyone knows what it means to be sick at this age.

Although Duan Hengye and the Queen's family no longer communicate in private, the two sides still maintain superficial peace after all.For most people in Interstellar who don't know the truth, although Duan Hengye has made great achievements, he still has the label of "good luck being picked up by the number one noble family in the empire" on his body.

At the same time that the queen's family notified Duan Hengye to return to the star, they reported the matter extensively in their own media.In those reports, they directly accepted the invitation for Duan Hengye.

Although it was a non-public event, those reports still mobilized the curiosity of the entire interstellar.

In fact, no matter whether they released the news in advance or not, as long as they don't completely tear their face away from the royal family, Duan Hengye will go to this event - after all, it is not a good time to have a deadlock with the other party on the surface opportunity.

It's just that after seeing those large-scale reports that emerged at the same time, Duan Hengye's already tense nerves immediately became more sensitive.

The star of the Queen's family is not close to the research institute at all, and Duan Hengye almost had to pass through most of the Yetian Empire's territory to reach his destination.

For him, this is the longest interstellar voyage since he crossed over.

As a top aristocratic family in the Yetian Empire, if they want to go to the star of the Queen's family, they must also follow the strict regulations there.For example, the Imperial Marshal Meng Jinhuai, who possesses military power, cannot go there at will.If he wanted to go to the queen's family as a star, he had to apply to the other party several months in advance, or wait for their active invitation.

Of course Meng Jinhuai did not receive the invitation this time, and even according to the laws of the empire, the number of staff around Duan Hengye was reduced.

At this time, Duan Hengye was sitting on his own private starship according to the regulations, and the interior decoration style here was much more comfortable than that of the military starship.But even so, Duan Hengye still had no intention of relaxing.

Duan Hengye sat at the desk by the window, in front of him was an optical computer full of data.It is very unusual that, as a "workaholic", Duan Hengye was rarely distracted this time.After looking at the document in front of him for a while, his thoughts could not help but fly elsewhere.

I don't know how long it took, Duan Hengye's optical brain rang softly, and it turned out that someone was sending him an application for entry outside the lounge of the starship.

Glancing at the time, Duan Hengye stood up from his seat.Now that the starship has only a few hours left to reach its destination, it's time for him to change his clothes.Not long after pressing the door open button, Duan Hengye's assistant Ye Pu walked in together with a robot.

"Professor Duan, this is your dress for today." Ye Pu nodded slightly towards Duan Hengye, and then glanced at the black formal suit held in the robot's hand.Going to the zodiac star of the Queen's family is like going to the capital star, and you need to abide by certain norms.Although Duan Hengye didn't need to wear a formal dress because it was a private event held within the family this time, such an all-black formal attire still made people feel extremely depressing just by looking at it.

Duan Hengye nodded, then walked towards the lounge connected to the office with his formal attire.At this time, the suit he was holding was similar to the suits on Earth, but there were some differences.Its style is more rigid, it doesn't look like it was worn by nobles, but should belong to some kind of clergy.

Although he didn't like it, Duan Hengye still quickly changed his clothes.With a black suit and a black shirt, he was trapped in this thick black.

Glancing at himself in the changing mirror, Duan Hengye opened the door and walked out.After working for such a long time, Duan Hengye and Ye Pu are already very familiar with each other.Under normal circumstances, the two will chat for a few words from time to time between work.But this time, after seeing Duan Hengye's obviously more serious expression than before, Ye Pu didn't talk to him, but directly backed out.

The sound insulation of the starship was very good. After Ye Pu and the robot went out, Duan Hengye's ears were a bit eerily quiet.He stood in the middle of the study for a while, then walked to the optical brain and glanced at the route map.

Because it was gradually approaching the star of the queen's family, the speed of the starship was restricted and slowed down more and more.

Seeing this, Duan Hengye sat back at his desk again, and then slowly opened the drawer.In the white space, several silver pearl-sized "buttons" lay quietly.Duan Hengye gently took them out, then rolled up his sleeves.

He picked up those "buttons" and gently stuck them on his wrist.But in the blink of an eye, several thin metal vines sprouted from the silver "button", tightly wrapping Duan Hengye's wrist in them.

This belongs to the same series of weapons as the "Sleeve Arrow" shown by Duan Hengye before, but it is smaller in size and more lethal.After securing all the "buttons", Duan Hengye pulled down the sleeves, and then carefully buttoned the cuff buttons.

Because the clothes are relatively heavy and conservative in style.By this time, it was impossible to find any abnormalities on Duan Hengye's wrist just from the outside.Although he is a visitor with a special status, Duan Hengye still has to go through the security check before he can board the Zodiac Star.Although the thing he is wearing now looks simple, it can easily avoid the most high-end and sophisticated detection instruments in the interstellar world - Duan Hengye has already tested this point over and over again on the southern stars .

It seems that the more technologically advanced the era, the easier it is for people to believe in technology.The weapon Duan Hengye is carrying can escape all special light, but if he touches it directly, he can definitely feel the abnormality.It's just that in this era, people have long forgotten the role of humans, and instead gave machines an unimaginable sense of trust.

After installing all the miniature weapons, Duan Hengye sat back in his seat.At this time, there was still some time before the starship arrived at its destination, but Duan Hengye's heart finally calmed down.

Just when Duan Hengye was about to concentrate on his work, he suddenly received a message from Meng Jinhuai on his optical brain.

During this period of time, as long as Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai were not on the same planet, they would send messages to each other whenever they had time.The content inside has almost nothing to do with work, but is full of daily chores.

As the master of the southern stars, Meng Jinhuai knew better than anyone else that Duan Hengye could not refuse the itinerary this time.But it may be hard to imagine that Meng Jinhuai is also the only person around Duan Hengye who has persuaded him.But who is Duan Hengye? As long as he makes a decision, no one can persuade him.Although Meng Jinhuai had uncharacteristically made suggestions that were not in line with the interests of the Southern Zhuxing, in the end Duan Hengye still boarded this huge starship bound for the queen's planet.

Although the decision has been officially made for a long time, even Duan Hengye is about to arrive at the destination at this time.But in the news, Meng Jinhuai's words were still full of concern.Although Meng Jinhuai is not as taciturn as Duan Hengye, he is definitely a person who has nothing to do with the word "chat chatter".

But today, he sent a lot of messages to Duan Hengye.In addition to my daily routine today, there is even the pet of my little nephew.

As an excellent student who has received an all-round education of the interstellar standard, Meng Jinhuai's language organization ability is also top-notch.His tone is very ordinary at first glance, but if you read more, you will feel an indescribable warmth between the lines.

Looking at it, Duan Hengye couldn't help but laugh.

Although Nan Zhuxing could see Duan Hengye's real-time location, Duan Hengye still shared his coordinates with Meng Jinhuai.Sure enough, it didn't take long for Duan Hengye to receive a bunch of reminders from the other party.

Although the speed of the starship was slow, Duan Hengye no longer felt that the journey was difficult during the simple communication.It was not until a long time later that Duan Hengye turned his attention away from the optical brain when the notification that he was about to arrive at the destination sounded on the starship.

"If you have any problems, remember to call urgently." Meng Jinhuai finally said.

The positioning device carried by Duan Hengye also has an emergency call function. After seeing the other party's message, Duan Hengye couldn't help reaching out to touch the location of the device.Then, as usual, he answered Meng Jinhuai with a "hmm." It seemed that he didn't go to the star of the queen's family, but went to work in the research institute as usual.

The starship finally arrived at its destination. The size of the queen family's star is not large. From a high altitude, it looks like a huge garden planet.Although the original owner spent a long time here in his youth, today is the first time Duan Hengye has come to the star of the queen's family.Although there is a lot of memory in his mind, everything here still feels fresh to him.

Naturally speaking, Duan Hengye also discovered some details that he hadn't noticed before.For example, in the hemisphere I saw at this time, there were hardly any "civilian buildings".You must know that even the capital star where the royal family is located has a large number of urban settlements...

Duan Hengye's observation didn't last long. As the height of the starship gradually decreased, the scene in front of him became bigger and bigger.But after a while, Duan Hengye could no longer see the boundary of the planet.In front of him was a mountain-like palace-style building. If he hadn't been in it right now, Duan Hengye would even think that the scenery in front of him was all composed by CG.

Thinking about it carefully, the original owner could see the same scenery when he came to the Queen's family to belong to the star, but he never paid special attention to these things.

Duan Hengye's thinking didn't last long. After the starship landed steadily, he followed the procedure.Since today is a non-public event, there are not many people on the starship dock at this time.

Seeing Duan Hengye coming down, a man in a gray formal suit came over. He bowed slightly to Duan Hengye, and said, "Hello, Professor Duan."

"Hello." Duan Hengye also nodded slightly towards him.

Now that they have officially reached the star of the Queen's family, all members of the southern stars except Duan Hengye are not allowed to move freely.Including Ye Pu, they were all left on the starship.

Immediately afterwards, the gray-clothed man who spoke earlier said to Duan Hengye: "Sorry, Professor Duan, the following is a routine security check." Then he began to use the special light beam on the optical computer to shine on Duan Hengye.

Although the words he used were polite and polite, as soon as the man finished speaking, he turned on the security beam before Duan Hengye could react.In an instant, a dazzling blue light curtain fell on Duan Hengye's body, and he couldn't help frowning.

As Duan Hengye's assistant, Ye Pu also saw this scene from a distance on the starship.However, because he knew the special situation today, although he was extremely dissatisfied after seeing it, he still didn't say anything.

Although I know that the things on my wrist have been tested more than once, there must be no problem.But when the ray of light suddenly fell on him, Duan Hengye couldn't help but get nervous.His fingers were slightly bent towards the palm of his hand, and then he slowly rubbed the fabric of the cuff with his fingertips.

Duan Hengye's movements were very subtle, and no one at the scene noticed.And after he stretched his fingers, the ray of light finally retracted.Seeing that there was no abnormality in Duan Hengye's body, the staff member on the attribute made a "please" gesture to Duan Hengye again, and then led him to the levitator parked on the side.

At this time, Duan Hengye was walking away from his starship step by step, and his nervousness because of the security check at the beginning stabilized during this unusual journey.Accompanied by the staff members of the queen's family, Duan Hengye stepped onto the levitator. If there were other people, he would probably feel a sense of embarrassment being "escorted".But at this time, in the eyes of Ye Pu in the distance, Duan Hengye's figure is still so calm.

As a staff member next to Duan Hengye, Ye Pu was extremely nervous today.But after seeing Duan Hengye's calm look, he was finally not as uneasy as he was at the beginning.Seeing the levitator take off, Ye Pu finally returned to the starship.Although they cannot enter the genus at will, it does not mean that they can rest during this period.

Ye Pu turned and walked to another cabin of the starship, and then said to the staff inside: "Start detailed monitoring now."

In fact, what Meng Jinhuai did not tell Duan Hengye was that at the same time he agreed to ask the other party to go to the queen's star, he also gave orders to Ye Pu and the rest of the staff of the Southern Stars - when necessary, they can directly violate the rules and go out. starship.

……

After all, this is a place where the original owner has been to more than once. After the levitator flew a certain distance, he felt more and more familiar with the scenery around him.Duan Hengye's eyes have been staring out of the window, looking at the green plants or buildings that are constantly flying by.

The staff member who boarded the levitator with Duan Hengye has not stopped talking since he got up.While looking at the scenery below, the man kept reminding Duan Hengye with words - this is the place where he once lived for a short period of time.

In fact, these words seem to be "getting close" on the surface, but they are actually a "threat".

——The staff member in gray was reminding Duan Hengye over and over again of his unknown ties with the queen star, as well as his notorious "undercover" status.

Duan Hengye ignored the other party's words, although in the eyes of most people in StarCraft who are not familiar with Duan Hengye, he always seemed to care about everything and loved to answer.But at this time, the contempt in Hengye's eyes immediately annoyed the staff member who kept nagging and reminding him.

As a staff member of the top nobles, he has always been highly praised by others, and he rarely receives such gazes.So when the levitator was about to arrive at the destination, the staff finally couldn't help raising his tone, and reminded Duan Hengye: "Professor Duan. Although you have grown up for a long time and left the family. But Don't be confused by the pursuit in front of you, so that you forget your original identity."

...Sought after?

... Original identity?

Although the other party's sentence was not long, every word was miraculously focused on Duan Hengye's anger.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand, as a traditional nobleman.They essentially looked down on Duan Hengye's "following" because of his achievements in mechs.Although the world has developed into the interstellar era, this is a traditional family that has lasted for thousands of years.In the eyes of family members and even surrounding staff, Duan Hengye's "following" is undoubtedly cheap.Only people from a family like them should be naturally loved by citizens of Ye Tian.

As for the latter sentence, it is undoubtedly reminding Duan Hengye of the fact that he was once "adopted" by this family.But it's a pity that the current Duan Hengye is no longer the person who lost his memory and was deeply brainwashed.This sentence did not make Duan Hengye "be careful", but it reminded the royal family once again of what they did.

So Duan Hengye glanced at him coldly, his gaze was like a cold wind mixed with ice balls.After seeing it, the staff couldn't help panicking, but soon he regained his composure and said to Duan Hengye: "You..."

Before the staff finished speaking, Duan Hengye interrupted the other party, "Here we are." The man in black formal suit said coldly while looking at the scenery outside the window.

Seeing this, although the staff member was still upset, he had to let out a sigh of relief, and then stepped off the levitator one step ahead of Duan Hengye.

"Sir, you regained your energy just now. After entering, Professor Duan, please pay attention to your words and deeds." After finishing speaking, he stepped back from Duan Hengye's side.

Duan Hengye touched his sleeve lightly again, and then finally walked slowly towards the house.As an old aristocratic family, the buildings here are also very old.Although relying on Interstellar's powerful restoration technology, the interior of the building still looks brand new at this time, but the old structure designed many years ago still made Duan Hengye feel a strong sense of oppression.

Because there were patients living in the room, Duan Hengye asked about the unpleasant smell of medicine before he had walked a few steps.His footsteps echoed in the corridor, looking very lonely.

Finally, Duan Hengye walked to the dark red wooden door at the end of the corridor, and pushed it open without hesitation.In an instant, the bitter taste of the potion expanded again at the tip of Duan Hengye's nose, and a hoarse male voice also came out from it——

"...Is it Duan Hengye?" He asked.

Duan Hengye walked into the house and closed the door behind him.He saw a weak man lying opposite him not far ahead.Beside the man was a smoky, apparently aerosolized drug delivery.After this period of time, Duan Hengye has already learned a lot of common sense of interstellar life, for example, he knows that this kind of treatment is only used when the patient is terminally ill.

The man's eyes were half-opened, looking very weak.

"It's me, Your Excellency the Duke." Duan Hengye stood there and saluted the man.

After hearing Duan Hengye's voice, the person on the hospital bed finally opened his eyes wide with difficulty, and then said slowly: "Sure enough, he is already an adult..." After speaking, the man walked towards Duan Hengye's position with some difficulty. Stretching out his hand, "Come here and let me see." He said slowly.
