The Mech Touch novel Chapter 3393

Chapter 3393: Modest Result

As Ves began to wonder what he should do now that he achieved a strange result, Gloriana couldn't take it any longer.

The new mother softly patted her baby who was sleeping soundly against her body. She checked to make sure that Aurelia was covered by a moderate sound isolation barrier before she opened up her mouth.

"You need to cut it out, Ves! You've made your attempt. Don't waste your time on forcing out a positive result. The more you experiment, the more you are getting sidetracked. You're not only getting further away from achieving your goal, but you're also distracting the rest of us from doing our jobs. Don't ruin this fabrication run! There's nothing wrong with adopting the same approach as before!"

Her words woke Ves up from his obsession. He became aware that he had completely stopped his work in order to focus on what he could accomplish with Venerable Joshua.

Though he was happy that he discovered a new interaction, it didn't yield any productive outcomes.

Though Venerable Joshua was compatible with different life forms and Blinky was capable of dealing with different kinds of energy, the resonance they produced was weak and incomparable to the true resonance that an expert pilot was able to produce with an expert mech.

This was not an odd outcome now that Ves thought about it. Expert mechs were explicitly designed for the purpose. Their entire design was made to enable and maximize this phenomenon.

Blinky was just a spiritual cat. He was not designed to resonate with an expert pilot at all. His insubstantial form did not contain any resonating exotics that Joshua could latch on to generate systematic resonance.

In other words, what Venerable Joshua managed to accomplish with Blinkyy was accidental. It had nothing to do with the benefits that Ves was hoping to obtain.

Ves rapidly thought about what was happening and what he could do to achieve a useful result. Despite Gloriana's warning, he had no intention of stopping at this point. He intuitively sensed that he was on the right track. He just needed to change the variables in order to achieve a more desirable outcome.

He put his thoughts in order and considered the current data.

When Venerable Joshua attempted to resonate with his design seed, the latter reacted with a powerful rejection.

When Venerable Joshua attempted to resonate with Blinky, both of them produced a tentative but useless harmony.

What if… Ves tried to accomplish the former but through a detour?

If Blinky acted as a medium for Venerable Joshua to channel his willpower, Ves might be able to accomplish effective resonance by commanding his companion spirit to embrace his design seed.

"This… sounds a bit iffy."

Ves already encountered an initial rejection. He was afraid that his second attempt might deal actual damage to his design seed!

The risks were too great this time. Ves could not afford to put his entire mech design career at risk just because he wanted to try out an experiment!

Though the potential payoff was big, it was not crucial to Ves. His life wasn't on the line this time, so there was no need for him to go to such extremes.

Besides, Ves lacked theoretical support for this idea. He was not able to predict what might happen if Joshua resonated with his design seed with the help of Blinky.

He let out a deep breath as he dropped his current train of thought. Perhaps the justifiable caution and concern transmitted by Gloriana through the design network had played a role in waking him up from his crazy ideas. Whatever the case, he lost some of the extreme hopes and excitement that drove him to consider the notion of messing with his design seed in the first place.

"What now?"

Neither Ves nor Venerable Joshua had a solid idea on how to proceed. Though the latter kept resonating with Blinky, absolutely nothing happened aside from making him glow a bit brighter.

If he wasn't able to come up with an alternative idea, then he would have no choice but to follow Gloriana's advice. He was already falling behind schedule. If he continued to squander his time on one failed experiment after another, then he would lose his momentum and resume his ordinary work without the support of his previously high passion and morale.

Ves imagined that he had reached the edge of a cliff. When he looked down, he saw nothing but darkness and fog. Endless treasures might be resting down below, but the obscuring fog could also be hiding a lot of monsters!

Should he take the plunge or walk back from the edge before it was too late?

He fell into a difficult dilemma. As a consummate risk taker, it was in his nature to take any gamble he found reasonable enough. Yet right now Ves wasn't able to come up with any new ideas that could allow him to take advantage of the special conditions that were in effect at the moment.

"I need inspiration…"

Suddenly, a light shone in his mind.

"Wait a minute."

Ves withdrew the Hammer of Brilliance that was hanging on the side of his toolbelt. He looked at it with a promising glint in his eyes.

"Let's see if this works."

He did not hesitate any longer. After taking another deep breath, he lightly bonked his head with the flat side of his hammer!

Instantly, his head began to glow in bronze. Vulcan's power took effect, causing Ves to enter into a false inspired state that massively boosted his thinking in several ways!
