Chapter 59:
After seeing what Duan Hengye looked like now, Meng Jinhuai smiled and shook his head and said, "Well, let\'s go back to the starship and rest for a while. We will return when the weather conditions are good."
Although the starships can withstand the biggest storm on the test flying star, they still need to continue to wait on this planet in accordance with the interstellar navigation rules.
After speaking, Meng Jinhuai first turned and walked forward, and looking at his back, Duan Hengye suddenly had a strange thought in her heart-Does Meng Jinhuai really want to divorce herself now?
However, at the same time this idea came up, Duan Hengye had a word in his mind - that was "work".
Duan Hengye, who was walking towards the starship, had never thought that one day he would actually use the word "zuo" to describe himself. Unexpectedly, some goose bumps appeared on Professor Duan\'s arm. He discarded the strange thoughts just now, and once again hurriedly followed Meng Jinhuai behind.
...
The people of Emperor Ye Tian had always believed in Duan Hengye 100%, but after the news of the successful first flight test of the mecha "Nan Zhu" came out, the empire remained lively for a while.
This news finally dilutes the panic caused by the An Luo attack. For a time, all the empire was discussed related to this new mecha.
In the same atmosphere, although the investigation of the An Luo incident is still continuing, the students can finally leave Duguangxing.
In the interstellar age, the speed and revolution period of each planet are different. Therefore, there are as many different "years" as there are now habitable planets. In fact, Duan Hengye discovered when he first entered this book. In this world, "anniversary" commemorative festivals are all calculated according to the natural year of the country\'s capital star. Almost all festivals based on the astronomical calendar are missing.
Although Duan Hengye is not a very busy person, he is not keen on various anniversaries and holidays. But after learning that there is no concept of "New Year" in this world, Duan Hengye was still a little bit lost.
But despite this, there is still a very important grand festival in Interstellar, regardless of nationality and country-that is "Interstellar Day". This festival mainly celebrates the long-lost era of interstellar discovery. During the festival, the entire interstellar will enter a public holiday.
During the seven days before and after Interstellar Day, not only schools and companies started taking vacations, but even the research institutes also entered vacation mode. Although everyone usually lives on the planet where the research institute is located, just like Duan Hengye\'s own ID is marked with "Southern Stars", the staff of the research institute are also from different planets in the empire.
After the holiday begins, everyone except the staff on duty will leave the institute and go to their original home.
Since I didn\'t have a deep understanding of the local customs after crossing over, it wasn\'t until the entire research institute started to be busy. Duan Hengye finally reacted, and he ushered in the biggest festival on the interstellar.
Due to its special nature, the military will not take holidays like other institutions. But with the approach of Interstellar Day, the festive atmosphere here has gradually strengthened.
For example, the residential area of the Marshal\'s Mansion, which is dominated by beige, has also become extremely fancy overnight. Because "Interstellar Day" commemorates the era of Interstellar Discovery, the star elements are also flooding the entire festival.
After getting up, Duan Hengye wanted to go to the study to continue working. But as soon as he opened the door, he found that the entire corridor was covered with fine silver diamonds.
Only now did Duan Hengye know that the ceiling of the corridor of the Marshal\'s Mansion can also be adjusted. Duan Hengye slowly closed the bedroom door, then turned and looked up at the ceiling.
At this time, the ceiling was blue in different shades, and even a little purple mixed in, just like the sky at the junction of day and night. And under the blue-violet ceiling, there are numerous fine diamonds trembling slightly.
Duan Hengye discovered that these silver diamonds suspended in the air would move with the airflow, just like duckweed on the water. Duan Hengye couldn\'t help but slowed down the rhythm of his breathing for fear of alarming the "stars" in the corridor.
But perhaps because of standing here for a long time, there are still fine diamonds slowly falling down in the corridor, and then lying on Duan Hengye\'s soft top of hair and thick eyelashes.
When Meng Jinhuai came, he saw such a scene.
Duan Hengye was wearing a gray sweater and was looking up at the interstellar day decorations in the corridor. A fine silver diamond fell from the top of his head, and then fell on Duan Hengye\'s face. As the famous "Flower of Gaoling" in Interstellar, Duan Hengye\'s usual temperament is slightly colder. But now he seemed to have turned into fine snow again, soft and unspeakable.
Meng Jinhuai didn\'t want to disturb Duan Hengye, but Duan Hengye\'s perception of the surrounding environment was too obvious. As soon as Meng Jinhuai appeared at the end of the corridor, he turned around.
"Good morning." Duan Hengye said.
This morning, Meng Jinhuai rarely wore military uniforms. Under a star-like and snow-like background, Duan Hengye and his coffee-colored sweater both felt warm. After hearing Duan Hengye\'s words, Meng Jinhuai also said to him: "Good morning." Then he walked to Duan Hengye\'s side.
After seeing Meng Jinhuai\'s appearance, Duan Hengye originally wanted to ask him why he didn\'t go to the military headquarters today, is he also on vacation. But before he could say the words, Duan Hengye suddenly thought that "Interstellar Day related activities" was written on his schedule for today. In this way, this event should be with Meng Jinhuai.
Sure enough, after Meng Jinhuai came, he said to Duan Hengye: "It will be an interstellar day event for a while. It may take up your time in the morning, isn\'t it busy today?"
There are only a few small experiments left in the flight test these days. Generally speaking, the entire research institute is in a relatively idle state, as is Duan Hengye. After hearing Meng Jinhuai\'s words, Duan Hengye shook his head and said: "It\'s not busy." Then he asked, "Where are you going to participate in the event now?"
Meng Jinhuai shook his head and said, "Just here, just take a photo."
After hearing Meng Jinhuai\'s words, Duan Hengye finally remembered. On every interstellar day, the upper layers of the empire would photograph things like the "New Year\'s Pictorial" of the Earth Age, and attach their own blessings. On Interstellar Day last year, the original owner took a photo with Meng Jinhuai. It turns out that this is the Interstellar Day event mentioned by Meng Jinhuai...
The residential area of the Marshal\'s Mansion is so large that the two of them walked to the lower floor while they were talking. No one lives here, and Duan Hengye hasn\'t even been here a few times. After reaching this level, he discovered that for this Interstellar Day event, even this place where no one would normally visit had been re-decorated.
Duan Hengye remembered that the original owner and Meng Jinhuai took photos at the entrance of the banquet hall of the Marshal\'s Mansion last year. And this year it looks like...it seems to be shooting inside the residential area.
Sure enough, just after Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai went downstairs, a few staff members walked towards them. Because he often participated in banquets and other public events after entering "Dumping Interstellar", Duan Hengye already knew these styling staff very well.
After they came, they greeted them first, and then Duan Hengye was taken to a locker room on this floor.
After entering the door, Duan Hengye saw an off-white shirt hanging alone in the center of the dressing room. Nan Zhuxing\'s staff has always been very professional, but after Duan Hengye saw this shirt, he couldn\'t help turning around and looking back to confirm with them: "...this dress?"
Seeing Duan Hengye\'s question, a very familiar staff member nodded and said, "Yes, Professor Duan, you only need to change this shirt today." Although there are many designer pants in the wardrobe, Duan Hengye was somewhat incompetent, so he was still wearing a pair of ordinary black trousers when he went out this morning.
But the pants are not the point, the point is still on this shirt-the contrast with last year\'s clothing is really too big.
When filming last year, the original owner wore a very formal suit. The temperature of Nan Zhuxing was not high, but he was hot and sweaty during the filming. This year, the most formal suit disappeared, and an off-white shirt was hung here alone.
Especially after approaching, Duan Hengye saw that this shirt should be of silk and satin texture.
Although he had doubts about clothes in his heart, Duan Hengye never paid much attention to the question of what to wear. So when he once again looked at the staff with puzzled eyes and got the affirmative nod from the other party, Duan Hengye walked into the interior of the lounge and changed his clothes.
After putting it on, Duan Hengye found that the cut of this shirt was very retro. In his opinion, the clothes are very similar to the retro costumes of a certain era in the western countries of the earth. But compared to the portraits left over from that time, it can be a bit more concise.
After Duan Hengye changed his clothes, the robot took out another box. After the lid was opened, Duan Hengye found that there was a silver brooch with long tassels lying quietly in the box. Compared with the previous gems, this brooch is really simple and elegant.
Because the costumes shot today were too simple, after the staff finished the haircut for Duan Hengye, he walked from this room.
As soon as he left the door, Duan Hengye saw that Meng Jinhuai was already standing in the corridor earlier than himself.
Just like he no longer wears formal clothes, Meng Jinhuai today does not wear a black military uniform like last year. As the military marshal, whenever he appeared in public, Meng Jinhuai always combed his hair neatly behind his head and exposed his forehead.
But today is different. His hairstyle is very natural and his forehead is partially covered by bangs. Coupled with the light gray cotton shirt on his body, Duan Hengye was unable to connect Meng Jinhuai with the previous military marshal for a while.
After seeing Meng Jinhuai, Duan Hengye couldn\'t help being there for a moment. It wasn\'t until Meng Jinhuai walked towards him that he finally realized that he had to go to work.
Now Duan Hengye has gradually adapted to his status as a "public figure". During this almost one year, he has also participated in many activities, large and small, and has become a frequent visitor to the media. But unlike those live news shootings, today is the first time for Duan Hengye to take pictures.
The pictures that will be released on Interstellar Day are still photos, so the overall shooting process is not much different from that of the Earth era. Now the entire floor has fallen into a silvery white, and within a few minutes, Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai\'s hair tips and eyelashes have fallen into the fine diamonds just like before...
Although the overall shooting process is similar to that of the earth, the shooting equipment is more advanced and does not require lighting, so the entire shooting only took ten minutes to end. Unlike the embarrassing picture in Duan Hengye\'s imagination, the whole process is very natural. Despite this, Duan Hengye couldn\'t help but breathe a sigh of relief after hearing the staff say that the shooting was over.
Then during the shooting, Duan Hengye, who found a fine diamond on his shoulder, couldn\'t help curiosity. He stretched out his hand and rubbed the fine diamond from the folds of his shirt shoulder, and then rubbed it with his fingers.
What is this thing? Duan Hengye found the answer in the memory of the original owner after feeling the cold touch between his fingers. However, it is a pity that the original owner never had an interstellar day since the experiment accident when he was a child. So from his memory, Duan Hengye naturally couldn\'t find the answer Duan Hengye wanted.
Meng Jinhuai seemed to see what Duan Hengye was thinking. He stretched out his hand and slowly twisted it from the air. Then he walked to Duan Hengye\'s side and said, "This is a kind of metal, and there is something in the air. After the substance reacts, it will automatically float to the top."
Hearing Meng Jinhuai\'s words, the surrounding staff members who hadn\'t left for a while couldn\'t help being a little surprised, and then took a look here. After all, this kind of metal fine diamond decoration is very common in the interstellar. It is not an exaggeration to say that they asked the answer from their parents as early as when they were in elementary school.
Unexpectedly, Professor Duan, who seems to be omnipotent, doesn\'t even know this metal?
Duan Hengye also saw the staff\'s surprised expression, and then he immediately reacted, as if he accidentally exposed the fact that he had no common sense...
"That\'s it." He let go of his fingers gently, and then he saw the silver-white fine diamonds floated again close to the roof. Although Duan Hengye told himself in his heart, he couldn\'t do anything that would be unseen. But as the fine drill floated upward, his eyes still couldn\'t help showing a bit of surprise.
Meng Jinhuai, who was on the side, remembered something.
When Duan Hengye\'s parents died outside the experiment, he was just a child. Now so many years have passed, Duan Hengye may have forgotten the lively atmosphere of "Interstellar Day".
So Meng Jinhuai, who wanted to ask Duan Hengye if he was going to work next, suddenly changed his mind. He walked to Duan Hengye and asked, "Can I lend me time in the afternoon?"
"Huh?" After hearing Meng Jinhuai\'s question, Duan Hengye didn\'t understand in a short time what it meant to lend him time. However, Duan Hengye\'s work in the past few days has been relatively easy, so after hearing Meng Jinhuai\'s question, although he didn\'t know what the Marshal Lord was going to do, he nodded at the other party and said, "...in the afternoon. Okay."
Probably the decent image of the Marshal is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so in Duan Hengye\'s expectation, Meng Jinhuai may use the afternoon to communicate with himself the design of the new top-level mecha. It is also possible that something went wrong in the investigation of the An Luo incident, so you should consult with yourself about the situation at that time.
Until the two got on the levitator, Meng Jinhuai handed a black coat to Duan Hengye, followed by a cap of the same color. After seeing these things, Duan Hengye finally felt that there seemed to be something wrong.
He put on his coat and then asked, "Where are we going now?"
After hearing Duan Hengye\'s words, Meng Jinhuai glanced at the city outline that had gradually emerged not far from the levitator window, and then calmly said to Duan Hengye, "I\'ve been to the festival."
Been to the festival. These three words are really very simple, but when they were uttered from Meng Jinhuai\'s mouth, Duan Hengye gave birth to an extremely unreal feeling.
As a well-known workaholic in StarCraft, Meng Jinhuai actually said to himself that he wants to borrow an afternoon from himself for the festival?
Although Duan Heng Yexian wanted to ask Meng Jinhuai very much, if he was joking, or asked if he was dreaming now. But reason still asked Duan Hengye to take those questions back. He glanced at Meng Jinhuai, and then asked: "Then, are we the two?"
"Yes." Meng Jinhuai said as it should.
Wait... After seeing Meng Jinhuai\'s performance, Duan Hengye realized that he had asked the wrong question. He didn\'t want to hear if Meng Jinhuai was the only two of them to celebrate the festival, but to ask if there were security personnel accompanying him.
"What about the security?" He finally added this sentence.
In fact, Duan Hengye would never think of worrying about security issues if it were placed before. However, in just a few months, he experienced two consecutive attacks, so the current security issue has become a matter of concern to Duan Hengye.
Although Duan Hengye understood that this whim event should not be known in advance, the person next to him was Meng Jinhuai. Master Marshal\'s identity is special, and he must pay more attention to safety than himself.
After listening to Duan Hengye\'s words, Meng Jinhuai smiled at him very casually, and then said, "Don\'t worry, we are in the Southern Stars now."
After speaking, the levitator slowly approached a huge, visually three-hundred-story silver building, and then passed through the gate of the indoor docking apron located at the mid-waist of the building.
As soon as he entered the door, Meng Jinhuai said to Duan Hengye: "This is the largest city in the Southern Stars, and it is also a planet directly under the military." As soon as his voice fell, the levitator stopped steadily. Location. Then the hatch opened, and Meng Jinhuai put on his hat and walked down.
Looking at Duan Hengye, who was still holding his hat in the levitator, Meng Jinhuai half-jokingly said to him: "Don\'t you wear a hat? Although Nan Zhuxing\'s security is fine, if you go out without a hat, It\'s still dangerous."
After listening to Meng Jinhuai\'s words, Duan Hengye finally put on his cap and walked off the silver suspension. In front of this levitator is a device similar to an elevator, through which you can walk into the interior of the building.
After accepting that he was going to appear in public with Meng Jinhuai, Duan Hengye finally asked a question he should have asked long ago. As he followed Meng Jinhuai into the "elevator", he asked, "What are we going to do later?"
Probably because what was exposed could not be exposed again, Duan Hengye didn\'t want to hide the fact that he lacked common sense in front of Meng Jinhuai. As a newcomer to the Interstellar Age, he really doesn\'t know how this era will celebrate Interstellar Day.
Sure enough, Meng Jinhuai was not surprised after hearing Duan Hengye\'s question.
"Many planets will hold carnivals during this holiday, but due to the special nature of the Southern Stars, similar carnivals will not be held here. However, compared to usual, on Interstellar Day, the shopping malls will still be more Lots of lively." Meng Jinhuai introduced.
As he was talking, the log-colored door in front of him opened, and an extremely noisy sound instantly passed through Duan Hengye\'s ear. After taking a look, he realized that he was already standing in the mall.
Although Duan Hengye in his last life was an otaku, he still went to places like shopping malls more often because of his love of watching movies. Perhaps it has something to do with the setting of the novel. Although this huge building looks very technological from the outside, the appearance inside is not much different from the shopping malls of the earth period.
Duan Heng kept pressing the brim of his hat at night. Although the environment was very noisy, his mood became inexplicably joyful with the crowd.
At this moment, Meng Jinhuai directly pulled Duan Hengye\'s hands up, and then he leaned closer and said, "Go, let\'s go to the movies."
In fact, Duan Hengye has long been accustomed to holding hands with Meng Jinhuai from time to time, but when he thinks that this is a shopping mall, he is still reflexively nervous. However, after seeing the people around him not paying attention to him, Duan Hengye realized that now he is in the interstellar age, and they will not be looked at by others like the earth when they handle hands in the mall.
"Okay." In the slightly crowded crowd during the holidays, Duan Hengye gently shook Meng Jinhuai back, his tone rising with a faint smile that could not be ignored.
