The Mech Touch novel Chapter 4979

Ves Larkinson's Orders of Life emerged as a means to systematically categorize the living qualities of different mechs.

First order living mechs barely possessed any coherent signs of life. They were mechs with a weak degree of X-Factor. Ves had been able to produce first order mechs since the moment he first formed the building blocks of his design philosophy.

Second order living mechs became Ves' default standard. They already possessed a rudimentary amount of sentience, intelligence, awareness and autonomy. Each mech pilot could easily get in touch with them as long as they interfaced with the machines.

The spectrum of second order living mechs was quite extensive. There were massive differences between a living mech that was mass produced at a third-party mech factory and a living mech fabricated by Ves in his own workshop!

While there were noticeable differences between the two, even the best living mechs fabricated by mechs had never managed to breach the upper threshold upon their creation!

The requirements to make a third order living mech were too high!

Let alone Ves, no one else who possessed a slight understanding of living mechs could ever hope to fabricate such a potent machine through their efforts!

The only mech designer who could solve this problem and develop a viable method to make third order living mechs on demand was the pioneer in this new field!

Not even Ves himself expected to be able to fulfill one of his smaller but no less significant ambitions!

The best part about discovering this new method was that it was not a fluke nor an accident.

Ves could easily reproduce the conditions needed to repeat this feat!

This newly discovered approach which he had taken to calling the Living Workshop Method had endless potential.

His techniques were still rudimentary as he mainly relied on brute force and passive contamination to infuse the production machines and the raw materials with the elements of life.

What would happen if he refined his techniques and contaminated the aforementioned objects in a more sophisticated manner?

What would happen if he became a better mech designer and developed the strength to channel a lot more spiritual energy?

More refined techniques combined with a greater quantity of energy would allow Ves to make stronger and more superior third order living mechs!

This may very well serve as an essential step to his eventual goal of birthing a mythical fourth order living mech!

Still, as Ves grew a lot more tired now that he had successfully converted the Ghost Project into a third order living mech, he immediately recognized that his new approach had two major flaws.

?α?dαsηθνε| The first flaw was that it was not applicable to delegation mass production. Only Ves could replicate these conditions. Unless there was another mech designer who could project a similar glow, there was no way anyone else could perform the same feat!

"For now, at least…" Ves murmured under his breath.

His thoughts briefly drifted to his son. Marvaine not only had the makings of a great mech designer, but was also endowed with a companion spirit that was already attributed towards life.

Although Denny was still a young and growing spiritual kitten for the time being, what about a decade later? What about two decades later?

Once Denny grew up and realized a portion of his potential, it was not impossible for Marvaine's companion spirit to pull off the Living Workshop Method by himself!

However, there was another major flaw to this technique that made it a lot less likely for his son to pull it off by himself.

This was because the energy requirements were too high!

Where did life come from? It did not emerge out of nothing!

The Living Workshop Method was just a particularly creative way to brute force the creation of a third order living mech by spending spiritual energy like flowing water.

It was the stupidest and least efficient way for Ves to create a third order living mech!

If Ves did not have free access to the nearly limitless supply of low-quality spiritual energy accumulated by a bunch of friendly design spirits, he would never be able to fuel this extravagant process by himself! _{freēwebnovel.com}

Ves would have sucked himself dry in an instant if he only relied upon his own spiritual energy!

Though he did not like the fact that he became dependent on external sources of energy in order to keep up his Living Workshop pseudo-domain for an extended period of time, he had no other alternative for the time being.

He estimated that he would either have to become a highly developed Master Mech Designer or an outright Star Designer to gain the strength needed to support this method by himself!

If it was already this bad for Ves himself, it was worse for everyone else!

Blinky allowed Ves to cheat his way out because his companion spirit derived his main ability from the spiritual remains of the Unending One.

As far as Ves could recall, Marvaine's companion spirit did not contain any ingredients related to Blinky or the Unending One. This was a serious shortcoming that signified that his son was probably unable to follow his exact path.

That was fine. Though Ves deeply wanted Marvaine to inherit his design philosophy, it would be wasteful for him to become a clone of his father.

Marvaine should be allowed to figure out his own goals and develop his own design style.

In any case, Ves did not have to worry about these issues for the time being. It would take at least two decades before Marvaine was ready to set off as a mech designer.

Ves directed his attention back to the Ghost Project.

Although Ves had elevated its spiritual foundation to a third order living mech, the mech was not complete.

This was an important distinction.

So long as he and his fellow mech designers did not put in the final parts and regarded it as complete in their own hearts, it would not completely come to life!
