Chapter 11 Chapter 11
Lu Anhe unexpectedly said nothing while waiting for He Yunting to come out. He only asked, "Is there any problem with the mental control system?" After He Yunting nodded, he stopped asking questions.
On the other side, perhaps He Yunting's pheromones were really effective, and Lin Han continued to work in the cockpit alone.
Because the gloves blocked mind reading, Lin Han did not think about what the admiral was thinking at the time. He just devoted himself to his work again so that his mind could slowly calm down.
Mind reading is not a good ability, Lin Han thought.
If he hadn't taken off his gloves that night and heard He Yunting's inner voice, he might have been more willing to get closer to the admiral.
Lin Han thought so as he removed the sixth part.
He forgot about time when he was busy, not to mention that other people in the institute were still immersed in the shock of the admiral's arrival. It was not until Shen Xiunan was worried that he had slept in the repair room again that he came to find him.
When Shen Xiu Nan came in, Lin Han was re-editing the operating system in the mecha, and the automatic repair machine was humming, repairing the parts that did not require manual effort bit by bit.
Lin Han explained with a smile that the admiral was here to test his mental power system, and he was working so hard just to get his mecha back as soon as possible.
Chen Xiu Nan had no choice but to remind him for a long time to remember to use nutrients and inhibitors on time. When he was about to leave, he looked up at Lin Han who was measuring data and frowned, "Why do I feel that you are in good spirits today?"
Lin Han said: "Is there?"
"Yes, think about how long you have been in the repair room." Shen Xiu Nan said, "...Are you really in estrus? I even suspect that you are not taking inhibitors, but stimulants."
Lin Han looked at the other person helplessly: "Really not."
Shen Xiu Nan thought about it and finally came up with a somewhat possible answer: "Could it be that the admiral just came to you, so you were so excited that you ignored your fatigue and continued to work?"
Lin Han: “…”
What does this have to do with anything?
But at least something happened between the two of them, but he didn't plan to tell Shen Xiunan.
Putting aside the idea of tagging myself - the admiral might really be a good person, but I am really boring and uninteresting, and no matter how you look at it, I can't see how we are on the same path.
Lin Han sent Shen Xiu Nan away and continued to study hard.
The reason why he could become the best mecha designer in the institute was not only because of his better grades than everyone else, but also because of his mental strength. Because in the field of design and manufacturing, mecha masters with higher mental strength are often more favored - mechas are also classified, among which general B-class or C-class mechas only need to pass the design approval of the institute before they can be handed over to the mecha manufacturing department for mass production and used for simple indiscriminate patrol operations of ordinary soldiers.
In the Empire, mechas generally rely on mental power to fight. The three genders all have different levels of mental power. Mass-produced mechas can be suitable for almost any gender whose mental power is not too bad. High-level S mechas need to be cast by the designer himself, which requires the designer's mental power and efforts. Therefore, every S mecha made by hand is a unique treasure that the Empire can only encounter.
Of course, driving such a top-level mecha naturally requires higher mental strength and control. Otherwise, not only will it not be able to be activated, it may also cause trouble.
Lin Han has participated in the design of many models, some of which are mass-produced for front-line soldiers, and some are exclusive mechas like those for He Yunting or Lu Anhe. One needs to carefully study the design bit by bit, and then go through countless tests and adjustments before one can own such a machine.
However, He Yunting's m2742 was probably used earlier than he entered the Mecha Research Institute. After Lin Han officially participated in the design, two-person mechas were almost no longer popular in the empire.
The same goes for repairs. The higher the level of the mecha, the higher the level of the mecha technician it must match. He Yunting really cares about his mecha, which is why he was so eager to find me.
All of this would seem to be natural if He Yunting didn't have those thoughts.
-
During the days when Lin Han was working hard, Lu Anhe was extremely busy.
Since the general's mecha had not been repaired yet, he had no reason to participate in daily training and had stayed at his own manor for two days. This finally gave the peace faction and the radical faction each an opportunity.
To put it simply, they all continue to curry favor with each other, hoping that one day the admiral will join their camp so that they can rest easy.
The peace faction hopes that after He Yunting joins, he can propose to the emperor to reduce the production of mechas and the supply of military supplies. The reason is that the overall situation is stable now, and except for the space pirates who cause trouble from time to time, the Zerg are also very well-behaved. It would be better to invest the funds used for armaments into people's livelihood and make the empire stronger in other aspects as well.
The radicals are completely the opposite. They believe that space pirates are secondary and the Zerg must be eliminated. If they are now behaving themselves, they must be posing a greater risk. Therefore, they must increase armaments and build mechas so that all galaxies near and far will be terrified of them. This is the right thing to do.
Although He Yunting did not belong to any faction, he could not ignore either side, so Lu Anhe became the busy person.
Poor Lieutenant Colonel Lu had to help deal with the people from both sides who kept sending gifts and condolences, while also secretly investigating the waiter who stole the sample at the celebration banquet.
After seeing off the fourth group of people, Lu Anhe was finally able to take a break. He walked up to He Yunting and reported the news he had just received.
"It's too clean. I can't do anything about it." Lu Anhe said distressedly, "I checked. The waiter who pretended to deliver wine but actually bumped into your wound last time was said to have been in a state of panic all day after bumping into you. The next day, his family found that he was gone. He committed suicide."
He Yunting's expression was stern: "Dead?"
Lu Anhe nodded seriously: "No matter how much we dig, we won't find anything. His whole family is from a civilian background, and he was just transferred to be a waiter not long ago. There is nothing unusual at all."
Because the civilian waiter offended the arrogant imperial general, he was so scared that he committed suicide at home... This kind of news is always like this. People who hear it for the first time will definitely find it unbelievable, but as it spreads from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred, eventually someone will really believe it.
Most people would either think that this person was too timid and too self-deprecating, or that the admiral was too serious and too scary, but no matter what, they could not dig up any deeper clues.
"Boss." Lu Anhe seemed to have made great efforts and finally decided to ask, "Do you think it was...'those people' who did this?"
When saying those three words, Lu Anhe obviously hesitated for a long time, and his expression was extremely solemn.
But He Yunting sneered contemptuously.
There was no trace of smile on his lips, but a mocking expression was still on his face: "No."
Lu Anhe said: "Is it possible that they have made new progress, so..."
"Impossible." He Yunting answered firmly, "They don't have the guts."
"But the problem now is that we can't take the initiative to investigate further. We can only be prepared and wait passively for the other party to see what tricks they will use," Lu Anhe stopped dwelling on this issue. "The sample is destroyed. I guess the other party wants to use a fake mental power sample to destroy the AI center of the M2742 mecha. Ordinary repairmen won't notice it at all. When it's repaired and returned to you, your mecha will no longer be yours..."
"Fortunately, you went there in person a few days ago, so this situation will not happen." Lu Anhe breathed a sigh of relief.
This time, He Yunting's expression showed a bit of thaw: "I can't do this either."
Lu Anhe didn't understand for a moment: "What?"
"I said," He Yunting looked at the tulip field outside the window that had not yet bloomed, "even if I didn't go there at the time, even if a fake sample was installed, he would be able to identify it."
This "he" did not refer to anything, but Lu Anhe could hear a hint of extra confidence in his boss's tone.
As the two were talking, the butler knocked on the door politely: "General. We have a guest."
Lu Anhe was overwhelmed when he heard this, and shouted towards the door: "Where are you coming from this time? Is your surname Jiang or Luo?"
"Neither." The butler's voice seemed to be a little more cautious, "The one who came... was His Royal Highness the Prince."
-
When He Yunting changed his clothes and walked into the main hall, the prince the butler mentioned came in with a smile on his face.
Wen Tianyao, the only prince of the empire, has been showing up frequently in recent years. For example, he would hide his identity and live in a group house with civilians in Area N, saying that he wanted to experience the people's feelings and share the joys and sorrows. He would also come to the army from time to time, saying that he wanted to learn how to drive a mecha from He Yunting, and he even personally went to fight in a battle against the Zerg...
After all, he is the one who will eventually succeed to the throne, so he has to accumulate some popularity.
But he did a good job and was indeed very approachable. Many civilians have begun to support him and praised him as a good prince and the future hope of the empire.
When Wen Tianyao saw He Yunting coming out, he took a few steps forward enthusiastically and said, "Hello, General."
Except for his previous "secret visits", Wen Tianyao did not like to wear casual clothes. He always wore royal formal wear. The floral patterns on the cuffs and the family crest embroidery on the collar showed his identity, which was retro and gorgeous. His facial features are non-aggressive, especially when he smiles. At first glance, he is a very friendly prince who is very popular with the people.
He Yunting walked closer, put his right hand on his chest, lowered his head slightly, and saluted in a restrained manner.
He had just finished his greeting and stood up with an indifferent look on his face when Lu Anhe walked over quickly and whispered something in his ear.
"Boss, I just received a call from Lin Han from the research institute, saying that 2742 has been repaired. When will it be delivered to you?"
