Gu Qing Shan seeing that Impartial Goddess have connected to the central Holo-Brain, lightly bowed and spoke: "I request Impartial Goddess to provide the materials as well as technical support to assist me in creating a Mech armor"
[Verified that citizen Gu Qing Shan possess relative Mech design capabilities]
[Verified that citizen Gu Qing Shan possess sufficient Merit]
[Request formed]
Impartial Goddess spoke: [A reminder to citizen Gu Qing Shan, Chang Ning Steel Mech Technology company's Central Holo-Brain AI possess enough capabilities to support 87.159257% of the current world's Mech research and development, knowing that, do you still want to exchange Merit to request my assistance?]
Gu Qing Shan answered: "Yes"
Impartial Goddess continued: [Initiating my personal assistance for Mech Armor design and creation will require 2000 Merits, calculating citizen Gu Qing Shan's total personal Merit]
For Confederate citizens, each and every Merit is extremely valuable, because Impartial Goddess will use that as a basis to determine a normal person's career advancement, privileges and treatment.
Gu Qing Shan had desperately spent all that time gathering Merit, aside from wanting to increase his chance to enter a good University, because he wanted to spend that Merit during his University years and exchange a Mobile Mech.
Regular citizens basically will never have the chance to even touch a Mobile Mech in their entire life, and nobles won't be so generous as to just hand them out, unless you sign a contract that basically sells yourself to them.
Only here, via Impartial Goddess, can you use your valuable Merits to exchange for a Mobile Mech.
Of course, aside from requiring a clean background, you also need to pass a series of other prerequisites.
Not long after, a light screen appeared in front of Gu Qing Shan.
From Gu Qing Shan's birth until now, all the Merit he has accumulated are listed here.
[For submitting the overload limit test model for micro-power cores, Merit +30;]
[For giving gourmet society usage of Gu Qing Shan beef ribs barbecue's spice mix recipe, Merit +2;]
[Published paper: Mech simulation of human behavior theory, Merit +10;]
[For spontaneously participating in the fire disaster relief in the eastern district of Chang Ning County, Merit +9;]
[On behalf of Chang Ning County, participated in the Confederate Interstellar-type Warship Campaign Command Competition and won, Merit +5;]
[Attempted to save a woman from a river suicide, due to poor physical fitness, rescue failed, but the spirit is commendable, Merit +0.5;]
[The first to propose the mechatronic virtual human behavior theory, promoting the progress of Mech scientific research, Merit +80;]
...
[Citizen Gu Qing Shan, your total personal Merit is 2002.41, do you confirm to spend 2000 and initiate my assistance in Mech Armor creation?]
"Yes" said Gu Qing Shan without hesitation.
This time, he basically spent all his Merit.
[Exchange confirmed, preparation begin]
Impartial Goddess pauses for a second, then spoke again: [The S.W. Divine Temple Interstellar Fortress will arrive at Chang Ning county airspace in 1 hour and 25 minutes, please be prepared to board the fortress]
As Impartial Goddess finished speaking, a 3-meter tall Mechsuit was released from the wall and started walking forward.
When it arrived next to Gu Qing Shan, the mechanical cables connected to it all detached and retracted, the Mechsuit's cockpit slowly opened.
Gu Qing Shan looked at it for a bit, then said: "I have an additional request"
[Please speak]
"Please keep what I do this time a secret"
[In accordance to the Confederate Constitution of rights, all citizens engaging in creation-centric scientific research should be given the right of Privacy, to ensure their own safety and intellectual properties are not at risk. Request accepted, from this moment forward, Impartial Goddess will keep your secret]
Gu Qing Shan continued: "Aside from yourself, please ensure no one else is able to see the fruits of my research, and I want to be left alone for a bit"
[According to the Confederate Constitution of rights, the culmination of your research shall be kept secret, but Impartial Goddess have the right to request and use Confederate citizen's research results, citizen Gu Qing Shan, do you accept?]
"I accept"
Everything is properly prepared, Gu Qing Shan smiled.
The technological level of this era is much more behind compared to 10 years later, but with Impartial Goddess' assistance, my ideas can probably be done more or less.
This will be Su Xue Er's birthday present, as well as the greatest good will I have towards this world on the verge of the Apocalypse.
Time flies quickly.
Gu Qing Shan stepped onto the Mechsuit, controlled it to softly jump upward, and started flying straight up as the hatch above opened.
In the sky, a mid-sized Warship was waiting for him.
The Warship didn't have any personnel, controlled by Impartial Goddess herself.
As Gu Qing Shan boarded the Warshop, it quickly rose up to space.
An hour later.
Among the dark and silent void of space was an eye-catchingly bright Giant Interstellar Fortress.
Gu Qing Shan was standing alone in a sealed area.
This place is as large as 4 football stadiums, the only thing on the empty field was a floating virtual reality projection device in front of Gu Qing Shan.
"Begin Mech creation", he said.
Impartial Goddess's voice rang from all directions: [Mech creation preparations ready, please explain your creation intention]
Suddenly, Su Xue Er's beautiful face appeared in Gu Qing Shan's mind, making him silent for a bit, then said: "I hope this Mobile Mech, even in the face of absolute despair, will be able to bring its pilot a hope of survival"
Impartial Goddess replied: [Intention too abstract, please use mechanical construction terminology]
Gu Qing Shan was speechless for a bit, then said: "Initiate the Life Structure Algorithm"
Impartial Goddess immediately replied: [Unable to initiate. The Life Structure Algorithm is only a theoretical possibility based on current frontier Mech science, the algorithm in total have 2 rules unpassed, 7 formulas unestablished, and 29 technical problems unsolved]
Gu Qing Shan scratched his head.
It's been so long that he doesn't know exactly which technical problems and theories are not yet solved.
Gu Qing Shan said: "Please list them one by one"
As he said that, a number of light screens appeared in front of him, each of them containing a different problem.
Gu Qing Shan went to the first of them.
"Ah, so it's the issue of standard metrics for multiple neuron transmission, I remember this problem being solved only just before the Apocalypse came"
"Well then, let's start"
Rolling up his sleeves, he starts the calculation on the light screen.
This problem is very difficult, Gu Qing Shan had to use half an hour to deal with it.
"Please check the equation" Gu Qing Shan requested.
[Initiating test sequence] Impartial Goddess replied.
The light screen slowly sank into the ground, no longer seen.
10 seconds later, Impartial Goddess' sound is heard again.
[Equation correct, standard metrics established]
Good, after establishing the standard metrics, all the other ones are much easier to solve
Gu Qing Shan nodded satisfyingly, moving on to the next light screen.
He very seriously checked all the problems on every light screen, then said: "Hmm, this problem, please help bring up the model, I'll enter the corresponding formula"
…
For the next few hours, Gu Qing Shan kept solving the technical problems one by one, gradually completing the life structure algorithm.
Deep inside the fortress, on a large screen, Gu Qing Shan's equations, rules and form structures are being tested time and time again.
When Gu Qing Shan's research reached the halfway point, a notification popped up on the large screen.
[Target verified to fit the conditions for the 5th Article of Confederate Constitution of Rights, initiating corresponding plan, begin requesting authorization]
[Contacting Army General, Martial Saint Zhang Zong Yang]
[Contacting Navy Admiral, Sea King Lee Dong Yuan]
[Contacting Interstellar Supreme Commander, Song Tian Wu]
Three invisible lights emitted from the S.W. Divine Temple Interstellar Fortress, travelling to different locations.
"General, highest priority contact requested"
"Hmm? The President?"
"No, from Impartial Goddess"
