The Mech Touch novel Chapter 4959

The momentous revelation session neared its end.

Ves could sense that Master Vayro Goldstein had almost shared every secret that he was meant to convey on this day.

The generous MTA Master even provided a lot of extra information on account of Ves' contributions and favorable relationship with the Survivalist Faction.

The knowledge of the Kingdom of Mechs completely changed his perspective on his entire profession.

Ves needed to spend a lot of time on thinking about the implications of what he learned. His future success and ambitions were directly affected by the variables related to the Kingdom of Mechs!

For example, he needed to behave a lot more honestly in the future in order to build up his favorability with the kingdom.

He also had to put more thought into what sort of innovations he wanted to use as the basis of the ritual needed to realize his design philosophy.

It was a pity that Master Goldstein declined to answer any questions related to the specific rules and criteria related to the realization process.

Senior Mech Designers just needed to employ their own judgment on this matter. They understood their work the best and should not let other people dictate their contributions to the Kingdom of Mechs and the greater mech community.

There was one subject that Master Goldstein needed to convey to a newly-advanced Senior Mech Designer such as Ves.

Both mech designers bowed in front of the statues of the Progenitors of Mechs in order to convey their deepest respect.

Neither of them worshiped these once-powerful human beings as gods, but that did not mean they did not revere the sacrifices that these heroes made in the past.

After that, Master Goldstein brought Ves to another section of the ceremonial hall. They stopped in front of the wall where a large and plentiful collection of antique firearms had been put on display.

"It is time to explain the secret of resonating exotics to you." He spoke. "Unlike typical journeymen, you have worked on many expert mech design projects. You have even led a number of them. Yet in each and every case, you had to rely on a more advanced mech designer to ensure that your expert mechs properly resonate with their expert pilots. This must be a frustrating limitation."

"It is." Ves admitted. "I have often thought that this limitation exists to prevent unqualified mech designers from messing around with high-end mechs."

"Do you still believe that is the case?"

"No more. With all of your revelations, I have a strong suspicion that the Kingdom of Mechs plays a large role in this process."

"You are correct yet again, Mr. Larkinson. It is not a difficult deduction to make. It is true that the Kingdom of Mechs plays an essential role in unlocking the power of resonating exotics to the mech community. Yet before I explain this method to you in detail, I must first explain what exotics are and where they come from. You have worked with them often enough to understand that they are not entirely compliant with the laws of reality."

Ves nodded. "That is true. Do they gain additional powers and properties to the Kingdom of Mechs?"

"No. The answer is not so absurd. The simple truth is that exotic materials are matter that is contaminated by the remnant energies of ancient, long-dead humans and aliens of great power."

"What?!"

Ves had uttered this word a number of times already, but it seemed he would never grow tired of saying it today!

Master Goldstein chuckled at Ves. "I surmised that would be your response. I am not lying to you. According to our extensive research, every exotic material derives its additional traits that cannot be explained through conventional science by the influence exerted by ancient beings. They may be regarded as gods in ancient times, but even gods can die. Once that is the case, what do you think will happen to the enormous reserves of energy that they have accumulated?"

"Their power… disperses into the environment."

"Exactly. The law of the conservation of energy still applies, even in the case of supposed 'gods'. The Progenitors of Mechs channeled all of their own power into the Kingdom of Mechs without any spillage as far as we know, but many other beings of great power were not as selfless or considerate. The history of the cosmos is enormous. Beings that have died centuries or even millions of years ago are still capable of leaving a legacy behind by contaminating random deposits of materials and empowering them in unknown ways."

This… sounded a bit similar to how Lucky produced his gems!

Ves bet that the two processes shared a definite relationship with each other!

The biggest difference was that Lucky generated his gems within a more reasonable timeframe while the transformation of the environment could take place over many eras!

"How fast is this contamination process?"
