**The turn of the month is not autumn, but the rain in the port capital is dripping, washing away the summer stuffiness, calming the smell of dust, and then blowing by the cold wind from the north, the air begins to be cold and clean, and there is a little more autumn smell. Xu Le stood on the platform of the industrial park building, squinting at the distant view of the city that was blurred like a watercolor painting in the misty autumn rain, subconsciously raised his hand, and took a puff of Sanqi brand cigarettes, the cigarettes entered his throat and lungs, a little spicy, and a little sweet, just like his mood at this time.

Yesterday afternoon, in the bustling city of Hong Kong, the election partners of Governor Ross and Congressman Medellín carried out a very vigorous campaign to participate in the crowd braved the autumn rain and the cold, and the number of people reached more than 200,000.

What reasons did President Lin of the Academy of Sciences use, Xu Le basically didn't remember much, it was probably just that he longed for peace, and every contribution to the Federation was to resist the invasion of the Empire and unite the people of the Federation, and Governor Ross and Congressman Medellin were the presidential candidates he considered trustworthy, and so on.

Not many people really care about whether the Federal Academy of Sciences, which has a transcendent position in the minds of the citizens of the Federation, has expressed its opinion on the presidential election for the first time, and whether it is in line with the federal election law, because it is impossible for the Pabur parliamentarians to go to the constitutional lawsuit at this time. The point is that this effect is already out. After the Academy of Sciences announced the successful development of the mecha, it further established itself in the hearts of the people of the Federation. The bias announced by President Lin has a big impact on the psychology of voters, and according to a recent federal television poll, Rosmedellin is a partner. For the first time, it surpassed Pabur MP in public support.

Autumn color is a sorrow in his heart, Xu Le squinted his eyes at this sudden bleak autumn scene, but there was not much sorrow in his heart. I just wondered why the things that Shi Qinghai handed over to Secretary Shen through his own hands hadn't been exposed at this time when the presidential election had arrived? Could it be that Mrs. Tai was really so confident in Councilor Pabul that she disdained to use these means?

In a sense, Shi Qinghai and Xu Le are just small people. But these are two little people who are constantly trying to do something big. Xu Le didn't know if he could succeed, he only knew that if someone like Councillor Medellin stood at the pinnacle of federal power, this federation, which already had a bit of a ** flavor, was afraid that it would become even more unacceptable.

Holding the cigarette between his two fingers and taking a deep breath again, he asked softly, "The results haven't come out yet?"

Shang Qiu was dressed in a gray overalls. Standing quietly beside him, looking down at something, there were still some drops of rain on the huge glasses. Hearing this, she knew that the young man beside her was not as calm as it seemed. He bowed his head and replied, "What we should do has already been done, and whether the final debugging test can be passed." It only depends on God's arrangement. ”

Since that day's video call, there is no longer a need for secrecy. The engineers of the Guoke Engineering Department all knew the true origin of the mysterious technical team in the spare warehouse, and they were shocked that there was actually only one person in the team, and Engineer Shang Qiu came directly to the backup warehouse and began to work with Xu Le.

I don't know what Xu Le and Shang Qiu said, but this genius female engineer didn't ask about the error in the core data anymore, maybe she knew the truth of the matter, so the secret of the Federal Academy of Sciences, which was named Purple Haiti, no one knew except the two of them.

Both of them were born in the wild road, with extraordinary talent for engineers, Xu Le and Shang Qiu's communication was particularly smooth from the beginning, no matter what kind of idea he proposed, this female engineer seemed to be able to use the existing technical capabilities of the Federation to find a way to realize this idea. And every time Shang Qiu came up with a vague idea, Xu Le could rely on what she had learned, the ideas taught by her uncle, and the complex structural drawings in her mind to give her some inspiration.

This tacit understanding is coordinated to the extreme. Actually, a long time ago. It started before the two of them met. Shang Qiu has been in charge of the mecha ground finalization. Xu Le is underground in the engineering department these days. The main thing is to cooperate with this girl. It's just that he didn't know this at first. Shang Qiu didn't expect it either. The spare warehouse is home to the technical support troops. It turned out to be a guy who was younger than himself.

The air on the rooftop was a little cold. Shang Qiu tightened his work clothes tightly on his body. Clasp your hands in front of your chest. But the dizzying whiteness is squeezed even more exaggerated. Xu Le had long been accustomed to the figure of this female engineer. No longer as nervous and stunned as I was at the beginning. After being stunned. Handed her a cigarette. "I can't be as calm as you," he said. ”

"I'm pretending to be on the ground. ”

Shang Qiu leaned over to him and lit a cigarette. Reddish cigarette butts trembled in the autumn wind. She spat out the smoke a little jerky. After coughing twice, he said, "After I graduated from Capital University. I went to the engineering department. The first and last job I took over was a mech. That's really only one thing I've done in my life. Today we will know if this can be done successfully. Of course, there will be some nervousness. ”

Xu Le glanced at her. Took a deep puff of his cigarette. Place the cigarette butt on the railing and extinguish it in the water stain. "I'm nervous too. ”

The profession of an engineer is not the same as that of a ship commander. It is still a male-dominated world. It depends on the strong differences between the sexes in their mindsets and interest in metal machinery. He thought to himself that Shang Qiu had just graduated from Capital University that year. You can directly enter the core department to study mechs. And in just a few years. From an ordinarily technical person. He became the technical director of the city. Her abilities have been best proven.

The federal government gave the Shell Engineering Department a week. Today is the last day, and no matter how many ideas there are to experiment with and how many finishing touches to be done by the hundreds of engineers in the engineering department, a result must be presented today. In fact. When Xu Le and Shang Qiu were smoking on the rooftop, it was the time when the officers of the General Assembly Base of the Ministry of National Defense came to the Engineering Department and the two sides conducted a joint inspection.

Success or failure is determined in a matter of hours. As Shang Qiu said before, what they should have done had already been done, and there was no point in staying in the warehouse any longer. So they simply left the warehouse and came to the autumn rain on the rooftop, as if this was the only way to stay away from the tense and oppressive atmosphere.

It's amazing to say that the mecha of the engineering department is being inspected, and the two most important and critical engineers are hiding outside. I don't want to or don't bother with those things.

Almost at the same time, Mr. Jose's voice rang out in Xu Le and Shang Qiu's intercom. The two of them glanced at each other, and from each other's eyes, they saw that Mr. José's tone did not show anything, and the young genius man and woman had a tacit understanding of wiping the rain from the corners of their foreheads. Silently walked towards the building.

When he walked to the entrance of the building, Xu Le threw the wet cigarette butts into the garbage bin. Shang Qiu paused slightly, and did the same action.

The two men followed the passage into the spare storeroom.

It used to be unusually empty and quiet. Only the assembly line and the sound of the mechanical arm in the basement warehouse, today seems to be extremely lively. Because a lot of people came. Although those people were all standing in place at this time, and they didn't whisper, this atmosphere made Xu Le feel a little uncomfortable.

He squinted his eyes as he looked at the silver-white mecha on the platform in the distance, at the small-looking figures beneath the tall mech.

The director of the General Assembly Base of the Ministry of National Defense came, the president of the Guoke Mobile Company came personally, and there were many technical personnel from the military and research institutes, all of whom were wearing dust-proof and radiation-proof overalls, goggles, and a full set of equipment, and looked like battleship maintenance personnel walking in space, and they could not see each other's identities and statuses at all.

Xu Le looked at the test officials wrapped all over his body, and couldn't help but think of the scene when these people were smoking cigarettes, eating boxed lunches, and doing sports in front of the mecha, and couldn't help laughing.

When he walked down the metal ladder, Secretary Bai and Major Lan Xiaolong quietly came behind him, one was his personal secretary, and the other was a soldier who had been ordered by the Ministry of Defense to protect his personal safety, so naturally they would not leave him too far.

Major Lan Xiaolong looked at Shang Qiu beside Xu Le, raised his eyebrows, and showed a warm look in his eyes, but Bai Yulan still had a calm and beautiful face, and lowered her head slightly. Xu Le did not ask them what the result of the acceptance was, because since Mr. Jose had informed him, the result had to wait in front of him.

Xu Le and Shang Qiu walked towards the mecha, and the footsteps that were not loud were particularly clear in the warehouse. The officials in front of the mecha, who were originally talking, turned to look at the young man and woman after hearing what Mr. Jose said, and seemed to be a little surprised.

The loud sound of metal muffled the footsteps of the two of them, and the passage between the spare warehouse and the engineering department was fully opened, and the extremely thick and heavy alloy wall was moved to another place. The engineers who had been in the headquarters of the engineering department to cooperate with the acceptance work came over there one after another and joined the people in the warehouse.

With extremely complicated emotions, these engineers glanced at the mecha that was already standing with the ontological structure at this time, enjoying the feeling of being a father and mother for the first time, and then turned their eyes to Xu Le and Shang Qiu who were walking around. These engineers knew very well that without these two young technicians, the research and development of the mecha by the engineering department would definitely not have ended so quickly.

No one spoke, and there was silence inside the empty underground storeroom, when suddenly the skylight system above the storeroom opened, and the simulated natural light fell and shone above the platform.

Under the daylight, the silver-white mecha stood on the platform, the fire system on the left mechanical arm was fully opened, the newly designed circulating main cannon was silently and coldly aimed at the sky, and the edge of the attached flying wings behind the mecha flowed with eye-catching streamlines, it seemed that the next moment, this new mecha that had condensed the hard work of the Fruit Shell Mobile Company for more than ten years would move.

At this time. Xu Le and Shang Qiu just walked to the front of the platform, and he looked at Mr. Jose and Zhou Yu. But forgot to shake hands with those big shots.

Mr. Jose looked at the two young men in front of him with complicated eyes, and suddenly felt that he was the luckiest director in the history of the Fruit Shell Company, and a few years ago, he discovered the genius Shang Qiu in the engineering department, and then God sent Xu Le, the freak, to the front.

He nodded slightly.

I don't know which engineer suddenly clapped his palm, and the applause rang out sparsely. Like the dreary rain that began to fall that night, the applause became louder and more urgent, just like the rain grew heavier and whistling, washing away all the boredom in the world. All that's left is crisp and clean skies.

Thunderous applause rang out in the empty underground warehouse, and even the president and the director of the General Assembly Base of the Ministry of National Defense began to smile and applaud.

Countless eyes looked at Xu Le and Shang Qiu, countless applause was given to them or themselves, and the engineers were excited and happy. They knew that the biggest contributor to the successful development of the mecha was these two young people.

Xu Le and Shang Qiu glanced at each other, then grinned like a child. The engineering department's R&D mecha passed the acceptance, and they succeeded.

The applause still refuses to stop. Some of the engineers' palms were already red, so they simply began to stomp their feet and coax. It seems that Xu Le and Shang Qiu have to say something at this time, they are both technicians. To give brilliance to these two young men is to give yourself respect.

Xu Le looked around, his smile was a little stupid, and he awkwardly bowed his head and bowed in all directions to thank him.

For the birth of a new generation of mecha in the Federation, the Fruit Shell Mobile Company has been conducting research since more than ten years ago, and even from earlier, there have been scholars and experts who have worked hard, and these engineers around have never stopped working, and some old experts have bid farewell to this world in such a long process.

Every time Xu Le thinks of this, he feels that the glory should be attributed to them, to those who are applauding, this is not hypocrisy or hypocrisy, he really thinks like this, he always thinks that he has only solved the last problem, just like building a high-rise building, the foundation and the body of the building are built by predecessors, he just built the last floor of the house, but he has to enjoy the applause and respect of so many people, he is a little embarrassed.

"You're really amazing. Xu Le forcibly calmed down the excitement in his heart, looked at Shang Qiu beside him and said seriously, a young girl can actually complete the design of a twin-engine ground assembly, if you want to say that the biggest hero, she should be beside her.

"I know I'm amazing at that. ”

Shang Qiu replied with a smile, but the two hands in her sleeves were already clenched into fists, facing this scene, how could she not be excited to dedicate all her youth to this place?

Like Xu Le, she bowed to the engineers around her and thanked her, her gray overalls were still draped like that, and she saluted in all directions, and when she lowered her head, she didn't know how many spring lake waves were exposed in front of everyone, but she was generous as if she didn't know anything.

Major Lan Xiaolong, who was behind Le, called softly.

The engineers began to whistle, and the storeroom was jubilant.

After Shang Qiu stood up, Xu Le whispered beside her, "Deliberately?"

"I'm the supervisor, I know how hard they have worked over the years, and since I've succeeded today, of course I'm going to distribute some benefits. Shang Qiu smiled and said, "You have the most credit, do you want me to give you a big benefit?"

Xu Le subconsciously glanced at Shang Qiu's bulging chest and quickly shook his head.

Shang Qiu laughed twice, leaned over, stood on tiptoe and kissed him fiercely on the face, and the horn sounded crisply.

Xu Le touched his face, and then scratched his head, knowing that this only represented happiness and nothing else, but in the eyes of the surrounding engineers, it was more than that, so the whistle became louder, and there were strange screams from time to time, and the atmosphere in the field suddenly reached **.

Magnolia, who had been keeping her head down, also raised her head at this moment, he smiled and gently lit a cigarette, and gently smoked it to make an exception if he was emotionally abnormal. In the thunderous applause, he quietly thought to himself, when Xu Le finally designed the assembly with Shang Qiu, he, the test pilot, had conducted many tests, and he could be regarded as making some contributions?

At 4:32 p.m. on the same day, before the results of the joint inspection and acceptance of the Ministry of National Defense and the Guoke Mobile Company could be reported to the Federation, a headline appeared on the Federation's largest news bulletin board: "The new mecha of the Guoke Engineering Department has been successfully developed!"

The Federation's largest news bulletin board is called Star Sky, where countless Federation citizens choose to view or post instant news every day, divided into countless categories, so the main news area is refreshed very quickly, and the release of only one headline was immediately squeezed into a dozen pages, and it did not attract too many people's attention.

But then, someone reposted the news on a microblog, pointing out that this afternoon, the new mecha of the Guoke Engineering Department has passed the joint acceptance of the Ministry of Defense and the company's headquarters. It was only at this point that someone noticed the news, and at the same time, the previous title that had been sunk to the bottom was also re-opened.

Today's most discussed by the federal people is the Purple Sea mecha of the Federal Academy of Sciences and the presidential election, and the people's enthusiasm and cognition of the mecha have been stimulated to an unprecedented level, so this news immediately received a lot of people's attention, and it was quickly added to the top.

It's just that the people don't understand that the Federal Academy of Sciences has been successfully developed, so why should the husk continue? Some George Carlinists began to scold the federal government for engaging in information blockade, carrying out redundant construction, and wasting the resources provided by taxpayers, and some military enthusiasts began to try to analyze the deep meaning of Guoke's move, but they didn't see the pictures and videos, and they didn't know what the big difference was between Guoke's and the purple sea of the Federal Academy of Sciences.

For a while, the discussion about the new mecha of Guoke was heated until the middle of the night, but the vast majority of people expressed their incomprehension of this matter, and had doubts and even accusations about the intentions of Guoke Company. At this time, a post titled an open letter from the Shell Engineer was put on a bulletin board, like a boulder entering the water, stirring up a thousand waves.
