Gundam Super G Universe

Chapter 315: Zaft's Lost Things, the Destiny System is Born

The destruction of the mass-produced prototype Zaku ended with the intervention of the Four Nations Investigation Team, which confirmed that the anti-neutron jammers had indeed been removed from the machines and returned them to ZAFT, emphasizing that they should be well preserved.

However, although Red had defeated Durandal in the issue of mass-producing the prototype Zaku, Durandal's subsequent counterattack left Red speechless and helpless.

In late January of CE73, ZAFT's new next-generation Gundam, the ZGMF-YX21R Prototype Savior, was attacked by unknown armed forces during an atmospheric flight test in South America. The Prototype Savior, which was used as a test aircraft and equipped with the Minovsky particle nuclear reactor independently produced by PLANT, was lost.

This incident almost "ignited" the entire South America in an instant. You know, the three Earth United Nations had been struggling in the [August Sectis City] colony satellite group for four months without any results, and ended up losing a next-generation Gundam with a furnace at ZAFT's military base on Earth.

Normally, even if ZAFT lost the Gundam, it would not be made known to everyone, but should be searched for in secret.

Unfortunately, this information was stolen by spies working in PLANT.

Anyway, from what Red heard later, the spy who stole the intelligence almost killed his way through the colony satellite of Area 12 of [December Disenbell City] (where the headquarters of ZAFT is located, a PLANT area refers to a colony satellite. Junius 1 is actually [June Junius City] Area 7) before sending the intelligence out, but the incident was so big that it could not be concealed at all.

Honestly, after seeing the intelligence, Red was very curious whether this spy had summoned a heroic spirit named James Bond to become a sub-servant, otherwise how could he break through the ZAFT base with a mortal body.

Even if you let Red take the Xia sisters with you, and add Hoshino Ruri and Nain for support, Red is not sure that he can escape from the ZAFT base without relying on his mobile suit after being discovered.

Red would spit out blood if his Luna titanium bulletproof vest was hit by a bullet from an anti-material sniper rifle. And do you think Red believes that there are no high-powered bombs in the ZAFT base?

Anyway, Red didn't think he could escape unscathed from hundreds of large-caliber rifles. He was a new human, not a superman, and he didn't have skills like mind control or hypnosis.

Therefore, in Red's eyes, everything from the theft of the aircraft to the leak of intelligence could not be more false.

But anyway, PLANT's drama has been performed, the machine is indeed gone, and PLANT's current Defense Committee Chairman stepped forward to take the blame and resigned, directly confirming the matter from the government side.

As a result, the entire South American military organization was mobilized, and everyone wanted to find out which bastard (lucky guy) stole ZAFT's new machine.

Moreover, all the black markets in the global circle are being watched by people from all over the world, waiting for the Minovsky particle nuclear fusion reactor or the new machine to flow into the black market.

In fact, judging from this incident, Red felt that Durandal's control over PLANT was no less than that of Patrick Sara, and he was quietly influencing ZAFT with his influence. And it was obvious that there must be Sara faction hardliners who helped him to establish connections.

You know, Patrick Sala, the Speaker of the House, cannot concurrently serve as the Chairman of the National Defense Committee in the future. The current Chairman is definitely not Durandal's man. He has been completely deceived.

As for who has the machine, Red knew it must have fallen into the hands of a real Sara faction hardliner. But now Red couldn't find these guys, so there was nothing he could do.

However, news soon came from PLANT that the temporary replacement for the Defense Committee Chairman was Takao Shriver, who in the original book was the Defense Committee Chairman when Durandal was re-elected.

It can be said that after Takao Shriver came to power, the former ZAFT defense committee members began to be collectively suppressed. Red didn't even need to read the script to know that in the PLANT Council election in April this year, the three defense committee members, Isalia Juul, Yuri Amalfi, and Herman Good, would all step down.

Moreover, during ZAFT's political struggle, various thefts occurred frequently, as if ZAFT's originally rock-solid anti-theft system had suddenly turned into a sieve.

In mid-February, when the heat of the Prototype Savior incident had not yet died down and South America was still in chaos, there was news that a Prototype Chaos that was being tested in the Fifth Universe was also lost.

In late March, when the election for the new Speaker of PLANT was about to begin, ZAFT lost the ZGMF-X3Q Divine Will Zaku, which was used as a test aircraft for the new Dragoon system.

This series of machine losses left the three Earth United Nations speechless, and even a fool could see that there was something wrong.

You know, ZAFT has lost so many machines, but the three Earth nations haven't found a single one so far, and there's not even any information about the criminals, as if these machines evaporated out of thin air.

Therefore, in the eyes of the Three United Nations of Earth, either this matter was directed and acted out by PLANT themselves, or they had other plans.

Or, these machines were destroyed by the New Misluchi Kingdom, because only the New Misluchi Kingdom has the ability to make other countries unable to find any clues.

However, Red was too enthusiastic about finding clues about the people who transported these machines away. As long as he could catch them, he would be able to follow the clues to find those idiots who would be used to hit him with the satellite wreckage in more than half a year.

Therefore, the three United Earth Kingdoms are actually not very suspicious of the New Mischi Kingdom, and they think that PLANT is causing trouble.

Then, the following April council election seemed to give them the answer.

As the saying goes, the incident involving Patrick Sala has made the PLANT Council afraid of the consequences.

Therefore, during Durandal's first term, he had almost no control over ZAFT and military affairs. He just listened in or offered suggestions, and acted as a signing machine for the procedures.

Therefore, in principle, this series of machine loss incidents cannot be blamed on Durandal, and it is even difficult to attribute joint responsibility to him.

After all, the PLANT Council is one of the few councils with relatively few political attacks, and the adjusters have always believed that they cannot be like stupid natural persons who reduce the efficiency of government operations due to party attacks.

As a result, in this PLANT Council election, no one held Durandal accountable. Instead, a large number of military personnel were removed from office and replaced.

The people who were replaced were actually those who had been arranged by Durandal in advance, and Durandal himself was successfully re-elected as Speaker.

Although, nominally Durandal still does not hold military power, in fact, judging from the situation in the original book where he can issue FAITH at will and the military still recognizes it, it can be said that he has almost taken control of ZAFT.

Then, Durandal, who was re-elected as the Speaker, first thing he did was to promote the products.

Yes, the dignified Speaker of PLANT started promoting products to the entire global circle as soon as he was re-elected, promoting a genetic algorithm that helps with employment, the Destiny System.

This destiny system is a new version that Durandal came up with by privately modifying the program logic after his last conversation with Red while working as the Speaker.

The principle of this system is the same as the original Destiny Plan, which is to test people's genes and give them suitable careers.

However, this destiny system that is being promoted will give more than a dozen professions at once according to talent, and give priorities. After all, some professions are unique, such as being a president. The genes of adjusters are all selected from natural people, so their potential limit is subject to natural people. Therefore, when the sample data increases, several examples with the same high degree of overall genetic fitness appear in one region.

In particular, Red had told Durandal the example of the East Asian Republic. Assuming that genes could really determine position, then the parents of the East Asian Republic would definitely try their best to give their children all the genes required for the position of the supreme leader, even if they could not have children after three generations.

It seems that in order to prevent too many people from competing for vacancies, we need more choices.

Also, Durandal followed Red's advice and marketed the system only as a job referral system.

Moreover, Durandal knew that although free things were easy to promote, people generally would not cherish them, and might not even try to do the recommended professions. Then the purpose of launching the destiny system in advance to let people adapt would not be achieved.

So there is a fee for using this system, but it is not much. As long as you are not a super poor family with no income at all, you can basically afford it by gritting your teeth.

Honestly speaking, after the destiny system is no longer mandatory, people are still very accepting of it. After all, it doesn’t cost much money, and the answers are not given randomly. It is backed by the PLANT Genetic Research Institute, so there are still many people who want to take the test for fun.

As a result, the destiny system quickly became popular among young people in the PLANT circle. There were a lot of people posting pictures on the Internet, and some people actually chose their careers based on the recommendations.

Dilandal does have some ability as a genetic researcher, so those people actually found a job that suits them based on the recommendation because of this system.

After achieving initial results, the countries on Earth were no longer so opposed to this system. However, the three leading Earth United Nations still felt that this system was just intended to collect genetic sample data from Earthlings, so they refused to introduce it and demanded that Durandal disclose all algorithm systems and store the genetic data locally.

Durandal would definitely refuse to make the algorithm system public, because he was afraid that others would affect the actual calculation results of the destiny system by modifying the algorithm.

At least, at this stage, Durandal himself has no intention of manually interfering with this system that represents all his hard work.

However, Red helped Durandal with the issue of the destiny system.

Reid actually thinks that the destiny system is really useful for college students to choose their majors, so he only requires that the genetic data be stored locally, and the algorithm system can be kept private, but the computer room where the equipment is stored will completely disconnect from the external network. All results are in written form.

Honestly, Red's behavior touched Durandal a little, and he thought that maybe Red was biased because he didn't know the benefits of this destiny system.

Therefore, Durandal agreed to Red's plan, and even said that if Red was willing to join the research team, he could open the algorithm to Red and let Red help him correct errors.

Naturally, Red wouldn't agree. After all, he knew nothing about genes, and if he couldn't finish more than three sentences of discussion, he would be exposed.

Moreover, as soon as the destiny system was built, Red tested himself first, and then found that his talent was indeed to be a driver of various combat machines because he had a naturally high ability to recognize space.

Then the next level is the ability to make up stories. Simply put, Red is good at shooting arrows first and then drawing the target. In layman's terms, he is good at making up stories and lying.

The next level is physical talent. It seems that I have some athletic talent. No wonder I didn’t find the training too painful when I was in the army.

Afterwards, Red let Nain enter the system and deleted all his test records.

Yes, the reason why Red agreed with Durandal not to make the algorithm system public was because as long as this thing was deployed, the algorithm could not be hidden from Nain and Hoshino Ruri.

However, after Nain entered, he confirmed that Durandal really did not leave any backdoors in this system, and the algorithm was also carefully edited. He really wanted to promote the Destiny System.

With the New Misluchi Kingdom as an example, the three Earth United Kingdoms finally relaxed.

Because they know that they are definitely not as knowledgeable about technology as Red. If Red thinks that Durandal's thing is useful, it might really work.

Therefore, the three United Earth Nations also introduced three destiny systems in the name of a pilot project for some unemployed students who graduated from second-rate universities.

Then, the Earth United Three Kingdoms came into play. 90% of these college students who were unemployed upon graduation were able to find jobs by following the guidance of the Destiny System.

Although this job is not what they dream of, it at least proves that this destiny system can probably detect people's talents.

Therefore, in order to increase the domestic employment rate, the three countries of the Earth United began to introduce more destiny systems to increase the evaluation efficiency. This earned PLANT a wave of foreign exchange.

Time passed day by day, and soon it was August CE73.

The biggest event for Red this month was little Maria's first birthday.

However, in early August, Jupiter successfully returned from Jupiter.

The Jupiter exploration mission went very smoothly. Except for a dozen people who had accidents due to irregular activities near Jupiter, no one died on the way there and back, which fully proved the reliability of the Jupiter.

Moreover, all the tasks assigned by Red were completed successfully. A total of twelve solar furnaces were brought back on this trip, and they were all produced in one batch. After testing, these 12 solar furnaces can start the dual furnace system.

However, only four of them had the right frequency difference, neither too much nor too little. So Red directly replaced the Ice Phoenix Gundam with a solar furnace.

As for the set for himself, Red said he hadn't figured out how to build the machine yet, so it could be put aside for now.

In addition, the Jupiter exploration team successfully found the second winged whale fossil in a meteorite near the Europa satellite and brought it back.

Of course, in addition to these two good things, I also brought back some troubles.

Jupiter passed by Mars on its way to and from Jupiter. When going to Jupiter, people from the Martian circle wanted to join them but were decisively rejected, but there was no problem bringing a visiting group back on the way back.

So Red felt a headache when he saw the name of Agnes Brach, the leader of the Martian Circle delegation on the list. He remembered that he was a guy with a bad temper and acted impulsively.
