Hoth stood upright in Tutor Xie's office at the north end.

Mentor Xie is a workaholic, and has the common problems of most workaholics.

His office is divided into two rooms.

The exterior windows were bright and clean, and there was nothing but a desk and a few chairs fixed to the floor. The chairs can only make people sit with their backs straight, not to mention very comfortable, and they are arranged in a circle, as if they are prepared for a small meeting.

In fact, as soon as the visitor sat there, he explained the matter of the visit clearly in a few clicks, and was sent off by Tutor Xie. Huo Sibei and a few brothers were summoned by their mentors to assign project tasks, but they could stay outside for a while.

Mentor Xie's inner office is much larger than the outside, very messy, but chaotic and regular, the mecha models are placed horizontally on the table and on the ground, and all kinds of materials are piled up on the left and right. Of course, Mentor Xie knew that others could not easily see his placement rules, so he did not let people into the room.

As a proud disciple, Huo Sibei can come and go at will. At this moment, he was standing in the only small open space in the inner office, more than enough for him to stand on his feet, and if he accidentally shook slightly, he could still take a small step to support his body.

"I don't agree." Mentor Xie held a mecha palm and looked at it repeatedly, and casually threw a sentence to Huo Sibei.

"Teacher, I won't delay the progress of other projects." Huo Sibei was mentally prepared for Mentor Xie's reaction, and hurriedly spoke to reassure.

"I don't agree, don't do it." Mentor Xie didn't look up, still staring at the palm of the mecha.

"Teacher, I'm very interested in this project, it can exercise my hands-on skills." Hossbei explained.

"It's time for your hands-on skills to be exercised. Already exercised. Mentor Xie raised his head and said dissatisfiedly, "Your target is a designer." Not a maintenance worker. Don't take on low-level tasks casually and waste time. ”

"Teacher, I've been stuck with my thinking lately, and I want to take a break from a simpler project." Hoss North came prepared, and one reason after another was put out in rotation.

"Not enough rest this holiday? Dare to be late even for actual combat drills? If I hadn't had a good relationship with the teachers in the Discipline Department, I would have made other arrangements for you and stuffed you into the base. You're just absent from school for no reason. Do you know how much the future of people who can't graduate from graduate school on time suffers? "The more Mentor Xie spoke, the more stern he became.

Hosbei was silent for a moment. Said sincerely: "Thank you, teacher, I didn't arrange the time of this vacation, and I trouble you." ”

Tutor Xie stared at Huo Sibei. The classic mantra came back to life: "Don't mess around." Young people, time waits for no one, so hurry up. ”

When Huo Sibei accompanied Chu Yi to listen to this sentence before, he didn't feel much, he had always successfully completed the project before Mentor Xie's urging. But at this time, he was touched by his heart, and he was in a trance for a while, how much time did he miss?

His gaze lifted from the mech molds that littered the floor. Looking at Tutor Xie, he sincerely promised again, "Teacher." I've really not been in good shape lately, and I'd love to take a break from this project. You can rest assured, I will finish all the projects at hand, and when I come back, I will rush to take on the new projects, and I will definitely not miss the schedule. ”

Tutor Xie looked at his proud protégé and was silent. It's not uncommon for designers to suddenly get stuck in their thinking, but Hosbei has always been clean and tidy in his projects, and he hasn't bothered about it before.

"This project is not good for you at all, and the release is aimed at junior students, if you can convince the project management office yourself, come back to me." He decided to let Hosbei run into a wall on his own.

"Thank you, teacher." Huo Sibei's eyes lit up and he said respectfully.

Huo Sibei was not unsmart, of course he knew that Mentor Xie still didn't agree with his intentions, but when he skillfully found the gaps in the mecha models all over the ground and said goodbye and went out, his steps were brisk, and Mentor Xie didn't veto it after all.

This project he had to earn.

"No, the difficulty coefficient of the project is linked to the learning progress, if you want to take this low-level project, how to calculate the practical results?" The teacher in the project management office shook his head when he heard this.

"Teacher, my practical results can be used for other projects, and I want to use this project to practice." Hosbei explained, with a respectful attitude.

"It's a junior training program, and you've already practiced it when you're in your lower grades." The teacher was unmoved.

"I haven't tried a batch conversion project, so I wanted to give it a try. As for the lower grades, I take this and can give a part of the items I have to the junior grades. "Hosbei has already thought of a plan.

"Then you can't do the project at hand on your own." The teacher frowned and reminded.

"I know I'll offset it with other projects."

"Make a proposal for your split part, and if there are more than two practical subject teachers in the first or second grade who pass the evaluation, you can come to me and post the task." The teacher added, "Don't forget that your own mentor also agrees to your splitting proposal. ”

Huo Sibei was slightly stunned, but he didn't have any arguments, and quickly nodded: "Thank you, teacher." He went out, thinking mentally as he went, who he was looking for.

Three days later, a girl hurried into the work area of the mecha design team.

"Hey, you're on the wrong floor." A classmate reminded her with a smile.

"That's right, I'm looking for Senior Brother Huo."

"Senior Brother Huo? This is not the mentor of your apprenticeship program. The classmate was puzzled.

"Another project, Senior Brother Huo has some of the work on hand and has been sent to our second grade. I saw it, and I was the first to pick it up. The girl said happily.

She didn't care about chatting with her classmates more, and was in a hurry to find Huo Sibei.

"Senior Brother Huo, hello."

"Hello, please be seated." Huo Sibei said politely, but when he was in a working state, his face was always serious, and there was no smile.

After the girl sat down across from him, he went straight to the point and introduced the project: "The sub-project I gave you has a tight schedule, it must be completed within a week, you come to me every morning for three hours, the difficulty may be a little high, but don't worry about it, I will guide you." Is there a problem? ”

"Nope." The girl smiled and shook her head.

"Let's get started, then."

Two days later, the girl met Huo Sibei's fellow disciple.

"I heard that you have been working on projects with Senior Brother Huo during this time? How does it feel? Senior Brother Huo is tired here. But it's free. ”

"Tired? I don't think so. Freely? I don't think so. The girl smiled, "Senior Brother Huo is staring very closely, and the progress is calculated on a daily basis." It must be done every day, but if there is something he doesn't understand, he will quickly give an answer. ”

"Huh? Senior Brother Huo has changed his style? He took me for a while, it's not like this, give me a general direction, and I'll just let it play, and it's just a phased inspection. ”

"Maybe the project is different." The girl said disapprerovingly, "Say it again." You are wrong about Senior Brother Huo, you said that Senior Brother Huo never takes girls, but I am fortunate not to listen to you this time. Still applied for his program, didn't you just apply? This time, I learned a lot from Senior Brother Huo. "The girl was very happy.

A few days later, the project at hand in Hothnorth was completed ahead of schedule. The sub-projects he split for junior students were also tutored. After he reported to Mentor Xie. When he returned to his dormitory, he quickly packed his bags.

The military airport at Arthur Star Beno's base is as dark as day, brightly lit, and busy, and the Fifth Fleet of the Star Sea is stopping for supplies.

A military vehicle landed swiftly at Pier 60, and two people got out of the car. One was dressed in a Benoy base uniform, while the other was in civilian clothes and dressed in black. It's very heroic.

"Mr. Huo, please board the ship. The transport ship will set sail on time in two hours, please be calm, military bases are not allowed to move around at will, please remember. ”

"I know, thank you, sir." Hothbei bowed politely.

As he spoke, a group of four people passed by, Huo Sibei knew that this was a military base, and it was most taboo to look at it at will, so even if he looked at the face, he was surprised in his heart, but nothing was shown on his face, and he smiled slightly at the non-commissioned officer who led the way, and turned around and walked up the ladder.

One of the four turned his head to look at the silhouette of Hoth, his eyes puzzled.

After Hoss North boarded the transport ship, he didn't wander around, and went directly into the rest cabin arranged for him.

After he sat down, he exhaled softly, two hours was not too long, he could afford to wait.

A moment later, he clicked on the communicator, and the signal was blocked by the Benoy base, so he could not communicate by video or roam the star network. Hosbei habitually opened Elan's promotional video, only for him to pause it before Ilan could speak, and he had been doing it these days because he didn't dare to look behind him.

Hosbei silently stared at the tearful face, raising her hand to rub her cheek very gently on the virtual projection screen.

There was a knock on the door.

He turned off the video, inhaled slightly, calmed down, got up and opened the door, looked out, and turned sideways to let people in: "Big brother, are you here recently?" His tone was delightful, but not too surprised.

Huo Sidong sat down on the edge of the bed unceremoniously and glared at his younger brother: "Xiaobei, what's the matter?" ”

After Huo Sibei saw Adjutant Chen at the port, he knew that his eldest brother would find him sooner or later. At this time, he didn't hide it, and said directly: "I took on a project." ”

The transport ship was sent from the Benoy base, just as the Fifth Fleet of the Star Sea was finished replenishing, and it was escorted along the way. How could Huo Sidong not understand his brother's intentions, and frowned at the moment: "Xiaobei, what project?" Who did you approach? Can the military's project drill the camp at will? Did you take a leave of absence from the research institute, or did you sneak away and leave it alone? ”

"This is the institute's mecha modification project." Huo Sibei smiled and comforted his eldest brother, "The Benoy base was released to the research institute, and I happened to see it. ”

Huo Sidong looked at his brother, right? There are so many people in the Mecha Research Institute, can a project happen to fall on someone's head? He didn't believe it anyway.

He thought about Huo Sibei's itinerary during the holiday, and couldn't help but feel angry: "Xiaobei, is it worth it for you to run around like this?" ”

Hearing this, Huo Sibei looked at his eldest brother without a trace of hesitation.

"It's worth it."

Ho Sidong was discouraged for a while, he understood his brother's personality, and after making up his mind, he had a beginning and an end, and there was no reason to give up halfway. He only said a word of reminder: "Xiaobei, you don't know her whereabouts because you can't contact her directly." ”

Originally, Huo Sidong thought that the person his brother was looking for might be on a mission, and it was inconvenient to contact the outside world, but it was not the case when he found out, so Huo Sibei traced her whereabouts so detouringly and difficultly, there was only one explanation, and they blocked him. Huo Sidong was afraid of hurting his brother's heart, so he didn't say it too directly, but the meaning was obvious, no one wanted to deal with you, do you need to catch up like this?

Huo Sibei was silent, and said softly for a while: "It's my fault. ”

Huo Sidong was so bored that he couldn't say anything for a while, his brother was trapped in it, and he didn't want to pull it out. He couldn't help but be annoyed: "You are so wrong that you need to single-handedly run to the Wild Star to find her bones?" ”

"Brother," Huo Si stood up suddenly, his chest rising and falling violently, and after a while, he could barely suppress the panic and fear in his heart, and emphasized to his brother, "Yilan is fine, she's fine." ”

Huo Sidong snorted secretly and coldly, Huo Sibei dared to do it and didn't dare to listen.

Since he listened to his mother's nagging a while ago, Huo Sibei asked the housekeeping robot to pack and sell the game mecha at home, saying that he would go back and make a better one by himself, and his collection of mecha models was also sold, saying that he had seen too much in the mecha research institute, and he didn't need to put it in his room to take up space. Huo Sidong was suspicious, his brother's posture seemed to be raising money to do something big, and it just so happened that his level was good enough to track the location of the receiver of his video signal, so he was scared into a cold sweat.

When Huo Sibei asked him about the girl's relics, he was actually in Chenxi Xing. Huo Sidong immediately guessed his brother's intentions, Chen Xi Star is either the family of the border garrison, or the people who venture to the edge star, who will run there for no reason.

Huo Sidong is with the fleet, in the border garrison from time to time back and forth, there is no shortage of contacts, immediately checked several exploration agencies, sure enough, found that Huo Sibei and a family have already been in contact, even paid a deposit of thirty percent, just a little bit to run to Liuhua No. 3.

Huo Sidong was shocked and angry when he learned about this, but he had to hide it for Huo Sibei, and he didn't dare to reveal a trace to his parents. He was busy himself, Huo Sibei then went to the closed base of the mecha actual combat exercise, Huo Sidong has never had the opportunity to communicate with his younger brother, at this time he happened to meet Huo Sibei, and immediately copied what his buddy had persuaded him: "If you love to show up, you will show up, and if you don't like to show up, you will pull it down, and you don't need to be rare." ”

Huo Sidong has also been a bit of a ruffian over the years, his buddy's straightforward and bold words come as soon as he opens his mouth, his words are not rough, his tone is blunt, and he hates his family for suffering.

Huo Sibei and his brother stood opposite each other, the two brothers were generally tall, Huo Sibei's gaze did not avoid it at all, and he shook his head lightly and said, "Brother, I have to see her." ”

The two brothers were not people of many words, and Huo Sidong had no other persuasion, so he just stared at Huo Sibei and asked, "Is it really worth it?" ”

"It's worth it." The tone is not high, the voice is very flat, there are only two words, and Huo Sibei has no other words. (To be continued......)
