nebula story

A thin chip memory was respectfully handed over to His Highness Fern, and the secretary of the Military Aircraft Department stood with his hands down: "Your Highness, the special car from the Mecha R&D Institute has just delivered what you want."

Reaching out to take the storage chip, Fern put it in his breast pocket.The weather was just right, the sun was slightly strong, and I looked at the watch on my wrist, it was still early.

"Your Highness, there is a routine security check at the engineering department this afternoon. Do you have any other arrangements?"

The head of the guard, Wood, looked at Fern and smiled boldly: "If not, why don't you go to the mech training field in the palace? Yesterday, the research institute has shipped the mass-produced samples of the latest two-person mecha, and it must have been assembled by now. It's over."

"Okay." His Royal Highness Fern's handsome face showed a rare relaxed expression under the sun, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.Let's go and have a look first. If everything goes well, you can take that person for a test drive tomorrow, right?

The Imperial Palace occupies a very large area. Although the Royal Mecha Practice Field located in the northeast corner is not as large as the professional training base of the military barracks, the facilities inside are undoubtedly more refined and complete.The small practice field of nearly ten mu square is not only suitable for fighting on land, but also has room for air combat mechs to fly into the air and fight.

——About 20 years ago, this place was still a royal garden with green trees and red flowers, but since the young prince Fern showed his keen interest in the huge toy like mechs, it has been given by the happy emperor. With a wave, it was transformed into the most lavish palace mecha training ground in history.

Compared with the mecha toy models that most boys in the empire can touch, the two princes have been sitting on the large mecha electric element sensor chair since they were babbling and toddler, curiously touching the real mecha. Mech armor and robotic arm.

Every time the military sends mechas with the latest generation, there are often the best trainers carefully selected. Under their patient guidance and standard training, the two excellent princes Fern and Lance are in the mechas. The attainments in actual combat have always been at a level that ordinary soldiers can hardly match.

Standing outside the spacious simulated actual combat training field, His Highness Fern looked at the field in a little astonishment.

——Although I have seen the blueprints and models of the latest two-person mechas of the empire countless times, I never expected that right in front of my eyes, two two-person mechas exuding a dark and proud metallic luster have been fully formed, standing in the practice field middle!

How can it be so fast?

All the accessories were delivered by the Mecha Research Institute at noon, even if we had to work overtime and send people to assemble it, it was impossible to finish it now!

Just as he was wondering, one of the two mechas in the field suddenly roared, and the sound of the electric current of the engine starting was particularly abrupt in the quiet royal garden.Just after this short but astonishing roar, the huge two-person mecha has already risen from the ground, and the attached flying wings slid out brazenly, supporting the mecha to draw a graceful arc, and began to speed towards the sky fly!

There is someone in the mecha!

And it's two people!

Fern frowned slightly when he heard the extremely obvious sound of electric current before the mecha started.

Of course, the new mecha also supports single-person control, but single-person control only requires a hot start of the console, and the instantaneous current before take-off will be a level lower, and the start-up sound just now is definitely a two-person identity confirmation.

The huge mech in the sky flew to a distant high altitude in an instant, and the jet stream shot out from the tail in an instant. Even standing tens of meters away, the lapels of Fern and several royal bodyguards around him were covered by this huge mech. The air flow swayed and flew up.

Turning around, pausing, and flipping suddenly in the air, the huge body of the mecha glides and turns with incomparable dexterity, without any stagnation or stupidity at all. Occasionally, when it stops and looks down to the ground, the bionic window on the head is dark red, Like a king in the air squinting at the sky below his feet, flashing the aura of looking down on the world!

Looking up at the latest mech that was constantly doing various movements in the sky, His Royal Highness Fern walked into the central control room on one side with a straight face.

Five or six R&D personnel of the Imperial Mecha Research Institute in the room stood up and saluted the uninvited Crown Prince in surprise.A leading military official stepped forward and gave a military salute: "His Royal Highness!"

Looking at him with a frown, His Royal Highness Fern raised his head: "It doesn't mean that the installation will be completed in the afternoon, why is it so fast? Didn't you directly transport the finished product from the air?"

Looking at the mecha on the screen that was still proudly flying in the air from the center console, his expression was cold: "Who is in it? Why did someone irrelevant get in first?"

Seeing his displeased expression, the military official quickly explained: "Your Highness, these two mechas were not delivered as finished products. The reason why they were completed so quickly is that your partner mechanic participated in the assembly—Chesu The corporal is really amazing, three or four of us worked on the installation according to the diagram for a long time, and when he came, he completed the main torso of one of the mechs by himself without looking at the drawings."

Looking at the monitoring light curtain with a smile, he continued: "It is not someone else who is sitting in it now. Since the assembly has just been completed and passed the machine self-inspection, His Highness Lance and Corporal Chesu are very happy, and they sat in for a test drive together. Woolen cloth!"

Lance and Chesu?

Without speaking, His Royal Highness Fern stood in front of the screen indifferently, staring at the laser monitoring screen that moved rapidly with the mecha's rectifying figure.

That's right, although the appearance of the new mecha is domineering and rough, if you pay attention a little, you will find that he is very familiar with the control style—the way and movements of the emperor, Lance, always focus on delicate and steady, and don't like strong and overly aggressive. direct.

At this moment, Lance's voice suddenly came from the communication channel on the center console, calm and slightly excited: "The test drive of the new mecha sample No. [-] has been completed in the air, everything is normal, and now we are ready to return."

"The main console has received it, and it is receiving test drive data." A researcher quickly replied, with his hands flying, operating the receiver on the workbench, and the green data stream flashed and updated on the screen quickly.

Looking at another mecha standing still on the sidelines, the huge "No. [-]" label on the chest of that mecha was flashing silver light.His Royal Highness Fern frowned: "The one in the sky is No. [-]?"

"Yes, Your Highness. But there is no difference between the two planes, it's just a difference in the labels." The military official replied.

"Oh, change the one in the sky to number two tomorrow, and change the one on the sidelines to number one." With a strange order, His Royal Highness Fern was expressionless.

ah?Although he couldn't understand it at all, the military official still nodded his head quickly.

At this time, the mecha in the sky suddenly slowed down, and after a few tenths of a second, it completed the coordinate search and fine-tuning correction, and dived and plummeted towards the training ground on the ground.

A beautiful emergency stop landed, the flight engine was turned off, and the hang glider was almost silently retracted.

The entrance and exit compartment of the mecha chest slid open, and two figures flexibly jumped down from the lowered invisible gangway one after the other, and Lance's gentle and handsome face appeared in the center of the screen.

Behind him, a young man raised his hand to take off the protective helmet on his head, and brushed back his black hair, which was a little messed up by the wind, with a particularly moving smile on the corner of his mouth.

Staring intently at Chesu behind Lance, Fern suddenly discovered something. It was the first time he had only been attracted by Chesu's bright and clear eyes, or only seen his wry smile. Seeing Chesu's smile.

It's true, it's in high spirits.

Slightly stunned there, His Highness Fern's eyes followed the boy on the screen.

After more than ten days of treatment and recuperation, Chesu's complexion finally returned to its proper health. Under the high-definition pixel tracking, one could even see a little rosy cheeks.

"Brother Emperor?" With a cry of surprise, Lance quickly walked into the central control room, "Why did you come back so early, isn't it usually after dinner?"

Without answering immediately, His Royal Highness Fern looked behind him, and his heart sank.

At the same time when he saw himself, Chesu's calm smile changed into slight surprise, and soon, it turned into a pleasing silence with lowered brows.

Standing at the door, without following Lance, he retreated cautiously into the group of developers.

"I'm not busy with business today. I remembered that the new mechas are here, so I stopped by to take a look." Fern said lightly, "I remember you told me yesterday that you planned to go to the special training base this morning to meet your own partner It’s a test drive, why come here when you have time?”

Wood beside him glanced at him secretly, and felt that he heard His Highness Fern gritting the words "your own partner" very hard.

Lance's expression became awkward.Looking around, he walked up to his brother and smiled wryly: "Don't mention it. I ran to the special training base in the morning and found out that Fan Zhong had already submitted an application for a partner change. The military department was afraid that I would be angry, so they suppressed me." Didn't let me know."

"Oh?" Leaning at him, His Royal Highness Fern said softly, seemingly concerned, "Why can't you handle your partner?"

The corner of Wood's mouth finally couldn't help twitching—he swears, when His Royal Highness Fern said "also", the expression on his face was definitely not sympathy, but gloating!

The gentle brow looked extremely depressed, and Lance didn't notice his brother's hypocrisy. He took Fern's arm and sat down on the chair next to him.

"Yeah, it's really a bit confusing. You know his temper, brother, he actually told the military department directly this time, because he thinks he is not qualified to partner with me, and he will never agree to start team training with me—— Said that if he is forced, he would rather quit the mechanic training!"

"Oh, why?" Her Highness Fern asked casually absent-mindedly, looking at Chesu in the crowd.

Not paying attention to this side at all, Chesu has already quietly ran to the main console, looking intently at the data that was just transmitted, and probably found something worth noting, he held his chin, and whispered to The developers said a few words.The eyes of those developers all lit up, and one of them showed obvious surprise, and also said something to Chesu in a low voice.

Hearing what he said, Chesu smiled a little as if embarrassed, with her white teeth lined with reddish thin lips.

Unaware of the emperor's distraction, Lance continued to complain bitterly: "It's because I accused him of taking the lead in bullying Chesu last time, and he felt that I questioned his character..."

Hearing Chesu's name, Fern turned his head to look at him, frowned and said, "Of course it's your fault. I don't even suspect it's him. How dare you question him face to face?"

Lance asked in surprise: "Brother Huang, have you never suspected him at all?"

Fern snorted coldly: "I've been around a lot since I was a child, and I don't know his arrogant personality? Do you think he took us two princes seriously when he was a child? If he said he looked down on Chesu, I believe it. If it is said that he is secretly harming people—" He drew his voice, "I don't quite believe it."

Lance was startled, and his wry smile became more obvious: "No wonder he is so angry. Brother, speaking of it, you know him better than me."

Fern looked at him with a half-smile: "Even if I know him better, I don't want him to be my partner. Don't play Chesu's idea."

"Hey, brother, you don't have to be so desperate, do you?" Lance smiled and followed his gaze to look at Chesu, and Lance's expression relaxed, "By the way, Chesu seems to be recovering very well recently, brother, don't worry about it. .”

"You don't need to thank me, isn't it right to take care of your partner?" With a cold snort, Fern glanced at Chesu.

It just so happened that Chesu, for some unknown reason, was pointing towards Lance to those R&D personnel. Seeing Lance smiling at him, he quickly returned the smile, with bright black eyes.

Feeling inexplicably unhappy, His Royal Highness Fern turned his head and suddenly became enthusiastic: "Lance, you can't let Fanzhong lose his temper like this. Do you need my advice?"

"Okay, Brother Huang, please give me some advice!" Lance's eyes lit up.

"A person like Fan Zhong, how can he be willing to leave the army? He said he would rather quit the special training as a mechanic, because he is confident that even if he doesn't partner with you, he can stand out in the match with others." Fern said lightly, "Direct pressure He told the military department to give him two options, one is to partner with you, and the other is to retire directly."

Lance looked at him suspiciously, but shook his head after a while: "Even if this works, Fan Zhong will hate me even more."

"How do you know if you don't try?" Fern raised his eyebrows, a little impatiently.

"Ha, I know from the effect of your pressure on Chesu." Lance blurted out, seeing Fern's face froze for a moment, followed by some kind of embarrassment and embarrassment.

"It seems that the affairs assigned to you by the emperor are still a little leisurely." His Highness Fern snorted coldly, "That's why I have time to ignore your finance department and come here to harass Chesu to recuperate."

With a laugh, Lance didn't take it seriously at all: "Brother, don't wrong me, I have been following up on the research and development of new mechas according to your instructions! Although the small batch of samples has been assembled now, a simulation is urgently needed for training." Combat procedures to avoid the huge loss of mechas caused by each training."

Smiling, he pointed to Chesu, who was concentrating on communicating with those developers in a low voice, and said, "So I am here today mainly because I was entrusted by Professor Saar, and I asked Chesu to continue to participate in this training simulation control program. Design—he can directly operate the machine, and he is proficient in machine repair, combat and programming, so he is the best candidate for feedback and correction of bugs in related programs while test driving.”

Frowning slightly, Fern pondered for a moment.

"Brother Huang, you won't... still worry about him?" Lance asked in surprise.

"Of course not." With a cold glance at him, Fern was a little unhappy, "If you participate in programming, don't you have to stay with Professor Saar until late every day? He is in better health, so don't make him stay up late."

Lance looked at him in surprise, and there was a trace of teasing in his eyes for a while: "I see, Brother Huang. As for your partner, the body is the most important thing."

He smiled slightly: "But brother, please rest assured, I have thought of this, so I will send a special car to deliver the latest program samples every day. Chesu only needs to take a test drive here while recuperating, pay attention to feedback and propose revisions. Enough."

"Oh", Fern reluctantly nodded.

Lance continued excitedly: "I just brought Chesu a complete set of mecha structure diagrams and parts parameter packs, and he complained to me that he was bored every day and didn't know how everyone was progressing at the special training base. It's over."

Looking at him steadily, His Royal Highness Fern looked a little weird.

Not far behind him, the chief of the royal guard, Wood, sighed inwardly with great sympathy, and looked up at the sky.I personally called early in the morning to ask for the storage chip of the blueprint parameters of the mecha. His Highness Fern himself never cared about these, so who should he bring it to?

Sure enough, on the way back to the palace for dinner with the two princes and Chesu, His Royal Highness Fern casually threw the confidential storage chip to Wood: "Destroy useless things."

After receiving the distorted wafer, Wood sighed in his heart: the protective layer on the outer shell of this wafer, the ultra-high strength and wear-resistant layer—His Royal Highness is really talented and amazing! !
