Everyone was eager to show the best control status to the leader.
Everyone was busier than ever. Not only were they training in the usual maneuvers, but they were also training in formations and marching changes. These were fixed training items required by the higher-ups.
As soon as this project came out, everyone knew that it was probably a preparation for the celebration, and they practiced with all their might.
Although the second-generation team of 623 is not as good as the first-generation in terms of mecha performance, they are unwilling to admit defeat and want to compete with the first-generation predecessors in queue training.
Anyway, all 800 people in the institute were busy, and even the cleaning ladies were working harder than ever.
Except Lin Fan.
She is probably the most idle person in the institute. She is still doing what she usually does.
Compared to the busy team members, she was so unreasonably leisurely that she naturally attracted another wave of inward criticism.
It wasn't that she didn't want to participate in group activities. Rather, it was a decision made by the higher-ups that it was better not to publicize the unique properties of the stars.
It was an arrangement from the senior leader. After reviewing other technological products in the morning, he would go to the underground fortress to meet Lin Fan alone and inspect the status of the stars.
Another thing that needs to be looked at separately is Pangu.
He hadn't improved it enough to be announced, but it was already relatively complete. So after meeting Lin Fan, the senior leader would also visit Pangu.
This has resulted in Lin Fan being relatively free now.
The days passed quickly during the hard training, and in the blink of an eye, it was the day when the big boss came to inspect.
Everyone was very excited.
Lin Fan was made a little nervous by Li Chunhua's fidgeting.
Gao Fei couldn't stand it any longer, so he held Li Chunhua down and said, "Brother Li, stop shaking. It makes me uncomfortable."
"Oh, isn't this what it is?" Li Chunhua scratched his head and laughed innocently, "We can see the big boss up close. It really is... hehehehe..."
"That won't happen until the afternoon, when we'll meet underground. In the morning, we'll just line up to welcome him and see a leader's car on the roadside. There's no need to get excited so early, right?" Ji Yu touched his head.
"Yeah, I understand, I understand." Li Chunhua smiled like a fool, and after a short silence he started swaying again.
Forget it, they just ignored him and turned their eyes away.
When the time came, Lin Fan followed the main force to line up and waited for a long time before the leader's car finally arrived.
A group of people cheered and held flowers high above their heads, shaking them constantly.
Although Lin Fan was not short, standing in the back row, he could only see arms everywhere, which was really frustrating.
When the arm in front of me lowered itself, I saw only a group of backs entering the office building...
Okay, we'll see each other sooner or later anyway.
After the welcoming ceremony, Cui Yan and others sat down and chatted with the leader.
At this time, other personnel will go to the venue to prepare for the following review ceremony.
The pilots of each project team participating in the review ceremony must get on the plane and get ready, and then the leader will be in place and the review will begin.
Lin Fan and others followed the bus to the review site.
It was her first time here, so she couldn't help but take a closer look.
It was a place similar to a sports field, with a wide circular runway, and most importantly, a ready-made open-air reviewing stand.
There are two decorative walls on both sides of the reviewing stand. They are quite thick and made in the shape of fluttering red flags. They are four stories high and have many slogans posted on them.
She followed the others to make some preparations and saw a lot of technological equipment that she had never seen before.
Jiang You's team was also in the review procession. They were putting on their exoskeletons and, upon seeing Lin Fan passing by, they all smiled and waved at her.
The mecha of 623 is at the end of the team and is the finale to appear.
After so many days of rehearsal and training, most of the people participating in the review have seen their mechas and are no longer as curious as before.
The official start is about to begin, and no one has the energy to think about anything else.
The leader arrived faster than they expected. He barely stayed in the office building for long before arriving at the reviewing stand.
News came from the front that the leader felt that the weather was too hot and it was not easy for drivers like them to travel in the open air, so they came here without any polite words.
Everyone who heard the news was moved. Lin Fan also mentally praised the leader and looked forward to their meeting this afternoon.
Soon, the review began and the front team slowly set off.
Everyone waiting behind was quiet, no one made a sound.
Lin Fan had already stepped aside.
"Sometimes I have to admire these people," Jin Sichen said, looking at the silent queue, holding up his large black umbrella to shade Lin Fan. "They're truly amazing."
"Yeah, every time I see a scene like this, I get excited." Lin Fan said casually.
"Huh? Can you feel the excitement now?" Jin Sichen turned his head to look at Lin Fan, and seeing that there was no excitement on her face, he turned back disappointedly.
"Before, and now, I should be excited too." Lin Fan said with a smile, "I am a typical patriotic young man."
"Tsk, you talk as if everyone is wrong." Jin Sichen also laughed.
The two chatted as they watched the 623 mecha team slowly move forward.
They did not participate in the review and could only watch from a distance in order not to disrupt the overall formation.
Suddenly, Lin Fan's expression changed and his smile suddenly disappeared.
"What's wrong?" Jin Sichen noticed something was wrong at the first moment.
"Don't make any noise!" Lin Fan ordered directly.
Lin Fan had never spoken in such a tone before.
Jin Sichen frowned and looked at her, only to see that her face was serious, her head tilted, as if she was listening.
But there was a review going on in front, and the sounds of various machines, the host's voice, and the marching music mixed together into an indistinguishable noise.
What did Lin Fan want to hear? What did he hear? Jin Sichen was puzzled, but he didn't dare to interrupt.
The reviewing team was still moving forward slowly, and soon it would be the turn of the mechanical exoskeleton to walk towards the reviewing stand. The people were concentrating their attention and did not notice Lin Fan's abnormality under the large black umbrella behind him.
Jin Sichen quickly thought of John Woo's previous car accident, and Lin Fan could hear the sound of the out-of-control truck.
What happened?
Lin Fan didn't say anything, and Jin Sichen's brows became more and more furrowed.
Suddenly, Lin Fan seemed to confirm the direction and looked up at the sky to the upper left.
Jin Sichen raised the black umbrella a little for fear of blocking her view.
Lin Fan stared at that direction intently, his brows slowly furrowing.
Jin Sichen couldn't hear or see anything. He couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? What happened?"
"Over there, there seems to be a sound of breaking air." Lin Fan felt a little panicked for some reason. "How far along is the queue?"
Jin Sichen looked forward. "There's still one-third left. The exoskeleton is now in front of the reviewing stand. What's that sound of breaking through the air?"
"..." Lin Fan was silent for a few seconds, took a breath, and said, "I feel that it is very similar to the sound of stars breaking through the air."
Jin Sichen was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened. "How is that possible? You mean... then we need to issue a warning immediately."
Jin Sichen hurriedly opened his phone, hoping to contact Xie Bisheng. As soon as he dialed, Lin Fan had vanished from his sight.
"boom!"
A loud metallic collision sound came from the reviewing stand in front.
"It's too late!" Jin Sichen gritted his teeth and ran forward.
