Design a tower-shaped or tiered structure using basic Grade One alloy. The specific type is unrestricted. Requirement: It must withstand impacts several times its own weight. Three hundred times: Obtain the status of a full researcher, eligibility to apply for one Rank D Research Mission, and 200,000 Trading Points in initial research funding. Five hundred times: Obtain the status of an intermediate researcher, eligibility to apply for two Rank C Research Missions or one Rank B Research Mission, 1,000,000 Trading Points in initial research funding, and an independent laboratory. Eight hundred times: Obtain the status of a senior researcher, eligibility to apply for one Rank A Research Mission, and the benefits corresponding to a Rank A Research Mission. One thousand times: Obtain status equal to that of a dean, with the authority to lead all corresponding research in the relevant field. Other benefits are negotiable.
In front of the towering Technology Stele Tower, Hou Congwen operated a simple Mechanical Arm, continuously carving words into it.
He carved with great seriousness, as if every bit of his attention had been devoted to the stele, unmoved by anything around him.
But the people standing nearby to watch the excitement were nowhere near as calm as he was.
As the wording of the problem became clearer and clearer, the rewards offered also grew more and more generous.
Naturally, they couldn't remain unaffected.
Discussion began to ripple through the crowd.
"A tower structure using only Grade One alloy, while also achieving a minimum load-bearing capacity of three hundred times its own weight? How is that possible?"
"Even if we used the strongest Rigid Alloy as the skeleton and the Buffer Alloy with the best shock absorption as the flesh, being able to withstand an impact one hundred and fifty times its own
