The Mech Touch novel Chapter 5086

"Stop, stop, Ves. Your explanation has become too convoluted." Gloriana spoke as she sat next to her husband on the couch in the living room. "According to you, prime materials are equivalent to heavenly materials, but is that truly the case? You originally defined prime materials as anything that can be used to store spiritual energy, but do sympathetic materials that only respond to certain attributes fall within that category?"

Ves looked stumped for a moment. "Uhhh..."

"Aside from that, what is exotic radiation can produce a so-called heavenly material that can't be used by expert pilots to generate prime resonance? As far as I recall, B-stones are spiritually reactive in that they can block spiritual energy, but that same properly also causes them to be unable to produce any sort of prime resonance. Isn't it a misnomer to call it a prime material in that case?"

"Uhhh..."

He had to admit that his nagging wife had a point this time. Ves had automatically been equating prime materials to heavenly materials when they actually referred to two separate types of materials. Their definitions did not match.

"Have you taken a look at the MTA's database as of late? I highly recommend you to visit it again. The mechers have recently updated the official industry standards to account for the emergence of materials transformed by constant exposure to E energy radiation."

Ves did what she suggested. He called up a projection and visited the Red Association's internal portal and immediately sought out the page that explained all of the latest updates.

He immediately grew surprised and a little fascinated in how much the mechers chose to reveal.

According to their general explanation, all forms of matter could be classified in many different ways.

One of the fundamental distinctions that people could make was the overall energy state of matter.

Previously, humanity only needed to put different materials in two broad boxes. _{fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm}

Matter could be mundane such as carbon or iron.

Matter could also be exotic such as Iridescent Mercury or phasewater.

Yet now that the Red Ocean became exposed to exotic radiation originating from Messier 87, a new category had to be made to classify the materials that emerged through unprecedented circumstances.

The Red Two decided to redefine their entire materials science framework in order to take the latest changes into account!

All matter could now be divided in three broad categories.

Low energy materials could be produced without any influence of exotic radiation at all. They were the most basic forms of matter of the universe and could be found pretty much everywhere.

Medium energy materials emerged in environments with at least a small amount of exotic radiation. They were called exotic materials in full, but most people had long taken to shorten it by using the term exotics as a convenient shorthand.

The Red Two claimed that the Milky Way had always produced E energy radiation, but not at a level where it disrupted people's lives.

Humanity and most natives from the Milky Way and the Red Ocean had evolved in a medium energy environment. Their biologies or their tech had become accustomed to taking advantage of the medium energy materials formed in this kind of placid but mildly energetic galactic environment.

Times had changed. Now that red humanity had entered a high energy environment, it became inevitable that a powerful galaxy like Messier 87 triggered the formation of so-called high energy materials! This new classification of materials had the potential to possess even more powerful properties that could massively strengthen the performance of mechs and starships!

Certain high energy materials could be produced at the current levels of E energy radiation.

However, just like Ves, the excellent research groups of the Red Two had already managed to find ways to concentrate E energy radiation under controlled environments, thereby breeding a host of even more energetic materials, all of which possessed even stronger properties!

In order to make a distinction between exotic materials that could be produced in a medium energy environment and the newer class of materials that could only be produced in a high energy environment, the latter received a separate name.

"Hyper materials, or hypers for short." Ves uttered. "I guess that works."

He had the vague suspicion that the Red Two had always known about the existence of heavenly materials. They just didn't use a term that was obviously steeped in religion, superstition and a heritage that they desperately wanted to bury.

This was why they probably found a similar enough word in the form of 'hyper'.

It was short.

It provided a lot of clarity.

It also conveyed an easter egg to 'those in the know' such as Ves that this was meant to be the new standard term for heavenly materials!

Ves most certainly received this message. Personally, he felt that it was a good choice.

"Now that you have learned about hypers, how do you define prime materials?" Gloriana asked after she had given him enough time to take in the new information.

Ves spent a few more seconds on rearranging his theoretical framework on matter. Everything made a lot more sense now that he was able to put every form of matter in three broad categories.

"According to the Red Two's latest model on matter, the prime materials that I have been working on should probably exist as a subcategory of hyper materials. My own definition for prime materials is any form of matter that can store spiritual energy. I can further sub-divide them into sympathetic materials that can only store specific attributes of materials and more broader cache materials that can store any type of spiritual energy."

His wife frowned again. "You have invented several new terms in a short amount of time. Can you clarify what you mean by your new classifications?"
