My idol became a prince

Chapter 71 The Common Homeland

Although it is a research area, if you look at the exterior alone, the architectural style here is not at all cold and unkind to the usual research institutions.On the contrary, its vegetation coverage is higher than that of the residential area. If you don't know it, you may even think it is a sky garden.

Wen Jie only found out in the past few days that although the downfall of the prince happened not long ago, it does not mean that the "job hopping" of the mech researchers was just a sudden incident.As early as a long time ago, the people on the Regent's side had actually had contact with the Sajued Mecha Research Institute.At that time, the prince who was in charge of the mech research took the huge amount of funding from the city star, but at the same time withheld a lot of research funding.Therefore, although everything is still developing normally in the open, many core researchers have already made plans to leave secretly.

This time the prince's downfall was just an opportunity.

Because the mecha research industry requires a lot of brainpower, the experts in the research center rarely have gray hair. They are mostly young faces. From this point alone, they look very similar to the Imperial Information Security Department.However, there are many differences between the two. For example, the structure and work of the research center are relatively simple, and the new experts who joined this time were all under the jurisdiction of the prince, and their attitudes towards Wen Jie and Yu Shensi are also different. It lacks the inherent caution and fear of some House officials.

At eight o'clock in the morning Sajue standard time, Wen Jie and Yu Shensi arrived at the center of the research area on time.

……

On the surface it looks like a small white house, but inside there is a lot of space.Through an elevator-like device inside the room, Wen Jie and Wen Jie went through the passage to the research center located under the ground in just a few seconds.Because it is built next to the mountain, it is not a complete underground dark room. There will be special lighting windows at intervals along the direction of the mountain.

This is not the first time Wen Zhi has come to the research center, but every time he comes here, he still can't help but marvel at the perfect design here.

Because Wen Jie and Yu Shensi had already been notified that they would come today, the research center did not start routine work as usual this morning.When Wen Jie came, the core members of the center were already sitting at the conference table waiting for them, "His Royal Highness, Your Majesty the Regent." What complicated etiquette did Shinji do? They just stood up from their seats and shook hands one by one.

Surrounding a small round table, the mainstays of the entire interstellar mecha research industry are sitting around.

After Wen Jie and Yu Shensi took their seats, a researcher who seemed to be the oldest sat across from him and nodded to them.

Through these few days of study, Wen Jie already knew that this person is the current leader in the development of the interstellar mecha industry.He was obviously only in his 50s—this was still a very young age in the interstellar era, but the researcher's brows and forehead were already covered with wrinkles, and he looked quite serious.

After nodding his head, he was the first to speak and said: "As a worker in the mech research industry who worked under the prince, first of all, we are very grateful to the prince and the regent for still choosing to trust us at this time, allowing us to join this Among the team. Of course, those of us are not officials of the House of Representatives who don’t know how to talk, so we don’t have to go around if we have the opportunity to sit here with the two of you today.”

Yu Shensi replied with a smile: "Of course."

"Well," the researcher nodded and said, "The regent must have known about the current development of the mech manufacturing industry before, and the crown prince has also learned a lot of related knowledge recently..." While talking, the man turned his head to look Taking a look at Wen Zhi, in the past few days Wen Zhi has tried to carry out a real simulated driving in addition to learning the basics of mechs in the research center.Surprisingly, Wen Jie is actually very talented in this field.So now, in the eyes of the researcher who vowed to devote his whole life to the mecha industry, what Wen Jie has done in these years is not doing his job properly-yes, in his eyes, there is no chance for a singer or the prince of the empire. A study is important.

After receiving a slap containing the emotions of "regret" and "hate that iron can't be made into steel", Wen Jia coughed unnaturally like an elementary school student who was found by the head teacher to be deserting, and then lowered his head.Yu Shensi who was beside him looked at him and smiled, then stretched out his hand very naturally... to rub Wen Jie's hair.

……

The researchers over there who had already heard the rumors about the two of them turned their attention elsewhere.

"...I think the regent and the crown prince are well aware of the current predicament of the mecha research industry."

"Funds..." Yu Shensi withdrew his hand, and said these two words without changing his expression.

"Mecha research requires a lot of calculations, and it must be supported by a large number of advanced optical brains." After hearing these two words from Yu Shensi, the researcher who spoke on the opposite side was relieved to confirm that Yu Shensi was really honest attitude to solve the problem.

In fact, he had lowered his posture to talk about these issues with the prince before, but he was prevaricated every time.Although the prince applied for a lot of funds from the capital city under the pretext of purchasing a new optical computer, the money was never used on the right path.Therefore, it is obviously an important research institution related to the survival of the empire, but the Sajue Imperial Mecha Research Institute has been secretly ridiculed as "poor".

It is precisely because of this situation that the mecha-related majors with the highest scores have also encountered income difficulties for many years.Except for some people who have great enthusiasm for this industry and are willing to dedicate their lives, the rest do not plan to put the future in an industry where income is not proportional to payment.

"That's right, funds." He paused and asked, "So how much money does His Excellency Prince plan to leave for research projects?"

"50 billion star coins" Yu Shensi slowly said this terrifying figure.After hearing what he said, everyone showed an unbelievable look. Even for the top chaebols in the interstellar world, 50 billion star coins is an astronomical figure.But before they got out of this startled state, they heard Yu Shensi add, "I mean every year."

...Where did the regent get so much money?

If he hadn't said that in front of the Crown Prince, people would even wonder if Yu Shensi's money...was secretly transferred from the House.

Of course, Yu Shensi is definitely not a person who would transfer money from the parliament to himself in private. He said under the suspicious and curious eyes of everyone: "In addition to funding research projects, I also have financial institutions to inject funds into."

... Well, this person is Yu Shensi, and it is not surprising that he does anything.

Having said that, the entertainment industry is extremely prosperous in this era. As a top superstar, Wen Jie also has a huge wealth that ordinary people can't imagine.So after Yu Shensi's voice fell, Wen Jie added: "Although I am not as rich as the regent." He looked at Yu Shensi with a smile and said: "...But since he has already paid for the research expenses, Then I can also add one billion star coins a year to specialize in prototype manufacturing."

Immediately afterwards, Wen Jie raised his eyebrows again and said, "Just let me name the prototype when the time comes."

……

As staff members of research institutes who used to earn nothing, and could only rely on ideals and beliefs to generate electricity every day, no one could have imagined that they would receive such a big golden pie after job-hopping.

Really... a little fantasy.

Perhaps the amount of funds that Wen Jie and Yu Shensi just said was too large. After the silence, the researcher just stood up suddenly.His serious face covered with law lines slowly squeezed out a slightly exaggerated smile, and then he said: "Thank you very much, Mr. Regent and His Royal Highness. Let me introduce myself, my name is Shan Linxi, a graduate He majored in mecha research at Sajue National University, and was in charge of the chief research director of mecha at the Sajue Mecha First Research Institute."

...Why does it feel like the persona of the high-cold scientist has collapsed?

However, seeing that his boss was released, the researchers who were recruited by Yu Shensi from the Imperial Mecha Research Institute along with him immediately became active.If it is said that they were still a bit unclear about the attitudes of Wen Jie and Yu Shensi, so they still stayed on the front line of research, now they have finally let go of the big stone in their hearts and started to talk about the mech industry with the rest of the researchers who have been here for a long time. future.

Of course Wen Jie and Yu Shensi also participated in it.

Although their understanding of mecha research is still very one-sided and superficial, this does not prevent them from listening to those scientists talking about the future.

……

Just when the complicated and incomprehensible professional discussion was going on, Yu Shensi suddenly leaned into Wen Jie's ear and asked softly: "Have you decided on a name for the world's first new mecha prototype? ?”

At this moment, Yu Shensi was very close, and even the airflow when he spoke lightly sprinkled on Wen Zhi's neck... A sense of numbness immediately spread along the nerves in the neck and spread throughout Wen Zhi's body.

The name of the future mecha?To be honest, Wen Jie just said it casually, he really hasn't considered the name of that mech carefully.

"Uh..." After a few seconds, Wen Jie turned to look at Yu Shensi and said, "Then He Ling..."

He Ling Xing, that distant common hometown of them.
