With the inflow of funds, the financial crisis of Jieyi Military Industry was finally alleviated, and not only the debts were paid, but also the funds to continue production, and the factory was finally back in operation.

A month later, the first batch of three Dawning prototypes was officially produced and rolled off the production line, and they could be shipped away only after Starlink Manufacturing sent someone to accept it.

Since the last time has been done with an extremely strict and detailed evaluation, there is no need for Starlink Manufacturing to send so many people to carry out the acceptance this time.

When the acceptance personnel arrived at Yaqiu, there were only five people in total, two of whom were test pilots and the other three were technical specialists.

The reception staff of Jieyi Military Industry took the group sent by Starlink to the factory, and then took them directly to the hangar, so that they could check the prototype for the first time.

When these five people saw the prototype that had just been produced, they couldn't help but exclaim: "What a powerful mecha!" It's extraordinary at first glance! ”

These people are all experienced, and they can see at a glance that this new type of mecha is different, first of all, the shape of the mecha is different from the common ones, not only the lines look smoother, but the mechanical parts exposed to the outside are relatively few, and the anthropomorphic feeling is stronger.

"This is what a mecha should look like, compared to this old model in the past, it is like a construction machine." One of the test pilots said jokingly.

"The appearance is really good, and the jet port at the back seems to be bigger, so the power should be good." Another test pilot commented.

The focus of the three technical specialists was elsewhere, and one of them said, "You see, this mech seems to be connected in a special way, not a common way......

"This is natural, I read the evaluation data on the way, this mecha uses an X-shaped bone structure, and the connection method will definitely be different."

The group continued to express their opinions around the mecha, but they still hoped to see how the mecha performed in actual operation.

As for the various values, they don't really care about it, because that's the researcher's business, and they only care about the actual performance of the mech.

"I want to ask, when will we be allowed to actually drive?" The test pilot waved to the staff of Jieyi.

This staff member is only responsible for reception, as for when the acceptance personnel can be arranged to operate the actual aircraft, it depends on the arrangement of the test flight director.

"I'm sorry, I have to ask about this matter, why don't I invite our test flight director, you can communicate with him directly." The receptionist replied politely.

"That's fine, then bother you to bring in the test pilot." Said the two test pilots.

The receptionist hurriedly connected the call with his superiors and told the Starlink request, and his superiors immediately agreed to invite the test flight director to the hangar.

After about ten minutes, a tall, thin man in one-piece overalls with somewhat unkempt hair staggered towards the hangar.

The acceptance staff of Starlink saw this person staggering over from afar, but no one cared, just regarded him as an ordinary staff member who did not work well and messed around.

Soon the man shook behind the inspector, and saw him with his hands in his trouser pockets behind his buttocks, looking like a man who had come to join in the fun.

"Hey, who told me to come to the hangar?" The man who looked like he was making soy sauce suddenly asked.

Everyone looked back together when they heard this voice, and the people of Jieyi naturally recognized this person, but what they didn't expect was that the two test pilots of the Star Alliance also recognized him.

"Ah, it's Director Shangguan."

"Ahh Captain! ”

Everyone said at the same time, and only after saying that, they looked at each other in surprise.

"You know?" The staff on Jieyi's side asked in surprise.

The two test pilots of the Star Alliance pointed to the visitor and replied, "He is our former captain." How? He's your test pilot? ”

At this time, everyone looked at the person who came with surprised eyes, and the person who came was none other than Shangguan Qi.

Shangguan Qi smiled lightly and said to everyone, "Hello everyone, I'm here." ”

Without waiting for the staff of Jieyi to speak, I saw that the two test pilots suddenly rushed towards Shangguanqi, hugged him in his arms, and said excitedly: "Captain, I haven't seen you for a long time!" ”

Shangguan Qi smiled calmly, patted the two of them on the back with his hand, and said, "Xiaolin, steel cannon, it seems that the two of you are doing well, I didn't expect to see you again." ”

"What? You actually know the test pilot of Starlink! ”

When Liu Yi came to the factory in the evening, someone immediately told him about the day's events, so Liu Yi immediately came to Shangguanqi to inquire about it.

For a long time, Shangguan Qi rarely talked about his past, and even Liu Yi and Ke Rin didn't know about Shangguan Qi's past.

Today, I heard that among the people who came to accept the Star Alliance, there was an acquaintance of Shangguanqi, and Liu Yi suddenly became curious, and planned to ask Shangguanqi about it.

Shangguanqi sat opposite Liu Yi and said while drinking coffee: "They are all my former subordinates, I haven't seen them for several years, I didn't expect to meet them here." ”

"Did they also serve in the army before?" Liu Yi asked.

Shangguanqi nodded and said, "At that time, we were all in the same squadron, I was the squadron leader, they were all mecha pilots under me, we fought a lot together, and then we all retired, and then we never saw each other again." ”

Liu Yi asked again: "Can you tell me what unit you served in before?" ”

Shangguanqi looked up at the ceiling, his expression suddenly became solemn, as if he remembered many past events, and these past events were not pleasant memories.

Shangguanqi didn't speak for a long time, and it seems that it is not easy to let him tell the past.

Liu Yi couldn't bear to continue to ask, so he had to divert the topic and said: "If the acceptance is qualified this time, the second payment of Starlink will be received, and I am ready to give you a bonus, everyone has worked hard during this time." ”

"Well, that's good." Shangguanqi said absentmindedly.

"The acceptance during this period of time will trouble you, especially the space test machine, which is your own responsibility." Liu Yi said.

"No problem, I'll arrange it." Shangguanqi nodded.

Liu Yi saw that Shangguanqi was not unwilling to speak, and his mood was a little low, so he had to say that he still had to talk to Tang Jie about things, so that Shangguanqi could have a space to be alone.

Leaving the restaurant, Liu Yi came to Tang Jie's office, saw that she was busy with work, turned around and planned to leave.

How do you know that Tang Jie said without raising his head: "What's the matter, I'm going to leave without even saying a word?" ”

Seeing this, Liu Yi had no choice but to turn around and come back, sit down opposite Tang Jie, and let out a long sigh.

"Why are you sighing, what's the trouble?"

"Have you heard about Shangguanqi?" Liu Yi asked.

"I heard that two of Starlink's test pilots are his friends?" Tang Jie was also very interested in this matter, and asked, "You have known Shangguan Qi for so long, have you never asked him about the past?" ”

"I asked yes, but he refused to say, every time I diverted the topic, I couldn't keep breaking the casserole and asking to the end." Liu Yi sighed.

"You're not going to think of anything else?" Tang Jie said.

"What can I do? I can't use a brain scan on him, can I? Liu Yi said.

"Stupid you, Shangguan Qi refuses to say, won't you ask those two test pilots? The two of them must know about Shangguanzaki's past. ”

"Huh! That's a real idea! When Tang Jie said this, Liu Yi also felt that this method was feasible.

"I didn't expect you to have a very good brain, but you don't even have this way to deal with this kind of thing."

"You're an afterthought, if it weren't for those two test pilots, you wouldn't have come up with this solution." Liu Yi said: "Okay, I'll go find those two test pilots now." ”

"Go ahead, if you ask what happened, come back and tell me." Tang Jie waved his hand as he spoke, signaling Liu Yi to leave quickly.

Liu Yi found the two test pilots very smoothly, and since the actual aircraft test was going to start the next day, the two simply lived in the factory and saved themselves from running around.

One of these two people is called Lin Jian, and the other is called Gangfei, but Shangguan Qi both called them by their nicknames: Xiaolin and Steel Cannon.

The two of them actually knew about Liu Yi from Shangguan Qi's mouth, and they also knew that he was one of the owners of Jieyi Military Industry.

Liu Yi exchanged a few words with the two, and then explained his intention, hoping to learn about Shangguanqi's past from the two.

At first, both of them were reluctant to speak, and their appearance was quite similar to Shangguan Qi, and they looked like they were secretive about the past.

However, after talking, Liu Yi found that these two people actually didn't have any scheming, and they were both very upright people.

So, under Liu Yi's continuous guidance and persuasion, the two gradually opened their hearts and revealed the past little by little.

"We used to play in the same unit as the captain, maybe you haven't heard of this unit, I'm afraid only a very small number of people who have been in the army for a long time know." Xiao Lin said slowly.

"Which troop exactly? Although I have not officially been in the military, I have dealt with the military a lot in the past, and I may have heard of it. Liu Yi said.

Steel Cannon shook his head with a smile and said, "This is impossible, it is difficult for our troops to be found in the archives of the military, and most outsiders will not know about it." ”

Liu Yi saw that the more the two of them talked, the more mysterious they became, and he couldn't help but think: "What kind of army is this, why do they all look mysterious, could it be that they are specialized in those things that can't be seen?" ”

The more the two refused to say it directly, the more Liu Yi wanted to know, so he persuaded: "Actually, you have retired, now you don't have to worry about what will happen if others know, not to mention that this is Yaqiu and not the imperial capital, so you don't have to be so restrained." ”

Kobayashi and Steel Cannon looked at each other and seemed to have made up their minds, and finally Kobayashi spoke: "I wonder if Mr. Liu has heard of the 'Ghost Regiment'?" ”

"Ghosts?" Liu Yi was stunned when he heard this name.
