Days passed one by one.
Soon, a week had passed since Su Ming's net worth skyrocketed.
And in this past week, Su Ming had accumulated a large amount of Military Merit, around 160,000 points.
Similarly, he had also gained a lot of Starlight Points.
After setting aside the Starlight Points needed for daily cultivation, Su Ming could save about 400 Starlight Points each day.
In a week, that amounted to a full 2,800 Starlight Points!
Today, Su Ming excitedly clicked into the Merit System.
His Military Merit had finally accumulated enough for Su Ming to redeem the [Humanoid E-Class Advanced Mecha] he had always dreamed of.
For this, Su Ming had even specifically declined a day's work. Today, he planned to stay in his dorm and focus on studying the knowledge related to the [Humanoid E-Class Advanced Mecha].
"Please confirm, Sergeant Su Ming, do you wish to spend 150,000 Military Merit to redeem the knowledge and blueprints for the [Humanoid E-Class Advanced Mecha]? Once redeemed, Military Merit cannot be refunded!"
Within the Merit System, a system prompt quickly appeared.
Upon hearing the electronic prompt from the Merit System, Su Ming didn't hesitate at all and directly selected "Confirm."
"Beep... Sergeant Su Ming spent 150,000 Military Merit to successfully purchase the knowledge and blueprints for the [Humanoid E-Class Advanced Mecha]. Transferring redeemed items to Sergeant Su Ming now..."
"Beep... Redeemed items, [Humanoid E-Class Advanced Mecha] knowledge and blueprints, have entered Sergeant Su Ming's storage space. Please check!"
Hearing the continuous electronic sounds, Su Ming's face lit up with excitement. He immediately took out the blueprints from his storage space.
A thick book and a pile of blueprints instantly appeared in the dorm.
Warren, who was nearby, looked on with deep envy in his eyes.
The knowledge and blueprints Su Ming had purchased were core Imperial knowledge, protected and restricted by Imperial law. Even Su Ming couldn't let Warren view the purchased books and blueprints.
Otherwise, they would be violating the Empire's core knowledge protection law, and both of them would end up in jail.
Unless Warren purchased the corresponding knowledge himself, then it wouldn't matter.
Su Ming didn't hesitate and quickly opened the book, beginning to read.
Mecha!
It was the ultimate goal of every Mechanic.
Mechanics who could assemble mecha were considered truly accomplished, enjoying extremely high status in interstellar society.
This was because mecha were strategic weapons, not ordinary weapons.
Every mecha held strategic significance for the military, possessing unparalleled and formidable power!
To put it simply, not a single part of the [Humanoid E-Class Advanced Mecha] was below Star level in terms of mechanical components. In fact, some key systems even used Star Cluster level mechanical components.
Assembling a mecha would be equivalent to covering one's entire body with countless Star level and Star Cluster level mechanical weapons!
A single Star level mechanical weapon was enough to turn the tide of battle for the Locke team, allowing them to achieve the feat of a Level 4 Gene Warrior defeating a Level 5 Furball Monster.
The power that could be unleashed by countless Star level and Star Cluster level mechanical weapons would be exceptionally terrifying.
Even a single Star Cluster level mechanical weapon would be no match for a mecha!
If Su Ming successfully assembled this mecha, he could practically walk unhindered throughout the Bander Galaxy. Even Lieutenant Walker, a powerful Level 6 Gene Warrior, would have to back down in front of this mecha!
However...
After reading for several hours, Su Ming had a general understanding of mecha assembly.
Su Ming couldn't help but marvel at the crystallization of wisdom from countless beings in the universe; it was truly astonishing.
If one person were to study the knowledge and blueprints for this mecha alone, it might take thousands of years and still not be fully understood.
It was simply too complex, too intricate!
If assembling a single weapon was like a knowledge system for a single discipline, then assembling a mecha would involve knowledge from dozens of disciplines.
It was hundreds of times more complex!
Assembling a single weapon was like child's play compared to an entire mecha.
And... Su Ming suddenly found himself smiling bitterly...
With his current Brain Domain Level, he couldn't pilot this basic mecha.
To fully pilot this basic mecha, his Brain Domain Level would need to reach at least that of a Level 5 Gene Warrior to have the capacity to control it.
But it didn't matter...
Su Ming's greatest strength was modifying high-threshold mechanical equipment into lower-threshold mechanical equipment.
By simplifying some of the mechanical components, the entry barrier for using this mecha would be lowered, bringing it within the range his own energy level could handle.
Moreover, during the process of assembling the mecha, he himself would improve. His energy level would definitely be higher than it was now, making it easier to pilot the mecha.
Su Ming didn't hesitate. He still had over ten thousand points of Military Merit left. He immediately spent these points in the Merit System to redeem a large number of mechanical components.
These were the mechanical components needed to assemble the mecha.
However, even after spending over ten thousand Military Merit, he had only redeemed less than a tenth of the required mechanical parts.
The mechanical parts required for a true mecha are incredibly complex.
Furthermore, each piece is exceptionally expensive. Even when exchanged through the Merit System, a substantial amount of Military Merit is needed to acquire complete mecha parts.
Currently, the Military Merit Su Ming possesses is far from enough. He can only exchange for a portion of the mechanical parts for now, assembling one section first. Later, when he has enough Military Merit, he will slowly purchase new mechanical parts piece by piece to complete it.
Soon, the mechanical parts Su Ming exchanged were teleported into his storage space via spatial transfer.
Su Ming took out these mechanical parts one by one and placed them in his dormitory.
Without a word, he immediately got to work, disassembling and re-etching these mechanical parts...
As Su Ming entered his assembly state, his order-taking mode reactivated.
There was no other way; Military Merit had to be earned. Mecha are money-burning machines, and assembling one would likely cost over a hundred thousand points of Military Merit.
Su Ming had no choice but to reopen for business, modifying mechanical equipment for others to earn Military Merit as payment, and then using that payment to purchase large quantities of mechanical parts to maintain his mecha.
However, what brought Su Ming comfort was that as his research into mecha deepened, his mechanical skills also advanced by leaps and bounds.
What previously took 40 minutes to modify a piece of mechanical equipment was now reduced by Su Ming to 20 minutes. This speed was enough to make most Mechanics feel ashamed.
At the same time... assembling a mecha is also an extremely mentally taxing endeavor.
Su Ming himself didn't even notice that his Brain Domain Level was rapidly soaring through the process of researching and assembling mecha
