The Mech Touch novel Chapter 5149

Cultivation was largely useless to humanity back in the Milky Way. The absence of the power of heaven meant that spiritual energy was too scarce for most methods to play any significant role.

The most viable source of spiritual energy that people could gain access to was by generating it themselves through their own thoughts and emotions.

It made a lot of sense that mech pilots and mech designers still managed to do well in this galactic energy desert.

Mech pilots fueled their own progression by pushing themselves beyond their limits and generating extreme emotions in the heat of battle.

Mech designers advanced by getting immersed in the creation of unprecedented works and receiving the validation of their clients and customers.

Yet as exotic radiation continued to enrich the Red Ocean Dwarf Galaxy, traditional cultivation that ancient humans abandoned a long time ago suddenly became viable again.

Ves predicted that a lot of dusty old cultivation methods that certain groups with long heritages kept in their vaults might make a resurgence again.

The Aduc Family that had long practiced the Annals of Terra Vita without any apparent results for a long time would definitely be able to notice the changes.

It was extremely likely that other families and inheritors of secret cultivation traditions had already begun to exploit cultivation once again!

It was already bad enough if all of these forgotten offshoots of the Five Scrolls Compact utilized cultivation to secretly get ahead of the competition.

Ves found it even worse if random people recklessly engaged in cultivation without knowing the full risks and dangers of the method they employed!

The Red Two had to step up their regulation on this front. In fact, Ves predicted that the Transhumanist Faction were already on the job. The faction was not only monitoring the current situation, but had also begun to formulate a complete response in order to shape red humanity's relationship with cultivation.

"The longer they take, the more elaborate their plan."

A quick and hasty response might be able to plug the immediate gap, but a slower and more elaborate plan would lead to fewer fault lines in the future.

"Hopefully the Survivalists that I will meet next week will know a thing or two about this plan."

Ves set aside his concerns about cultivation for the time being. Though he had promised to work on a possible way to help his second daughter increase her chances of developing the right genetic aptitude, this matter was way too complicated for him to tackle by himself.

He needed to consult a lot more with his mother and he also had to find out what the mechers were up to. Only then did it make sense for him to tackle this dubious project.

Still, as Ves thought back on the contents of the experimental meditation methods spread across the galactic net, he personally did not have much hope that this approach would actually work.

Cultivation had limits. If anyone could become a fire-breathing dragon or an invulnerable multi-armed goddess just by wishing for it really hard, there wouldn't be any point to designing mechs anymore!

Humanity did not fully understand all of the variables that determined one's genetic aptitude, so anyone who attempted to base a cultivation method around it would never be able to get it completely right.

"It would be great if it can actually be done, but I'm not getting my hopes up." Ves murmured under his breath.

The difficulty of developing a viable cultivation method to promote genetic aptitude was as difficult as trying to produce a modern mech with the use of primitive ancient blacksmithing tools.

Perhaps it might be possible to forge the larger and simpler parts with an old-fashioned forge, but it was impossible to fabricate the complicated circuitry, the incredibly difficult alloys and the huge amount of tiny parts that all needed to meet tight tolerances!

The best that Ves could do in this situation was to design and forge a highly simplified mech that was lacking in a lot of features and was only a fraction as strong.

Ves already took into account that he may not be able to make Andraste's dream come true. He hated the thought of disappointing his little girl, but sooner or later his children all had to make the realization that not every gift was destined to fall into their hands.

Genetic aptitude was not a phenomenon that was intrinsically related to cultivation to begin with. It was mainly a biological requirement to effectively control large and complicated machines through the use of a neural interface.

The only individual who was probably closest to understanding it was Divine Hussain Albedo, the leader of the Transhumanist Faction.

Unfortunately for Ves and many people in the Red Ocean, the Chosen Human was still stationed in the Milky Way as far as everyone knew!

The esteemed hero was not among the 8 known god pilots who stood up for red humanity.

This was an enormous regret for Ves. If the Chosen Human was stuck on this side of the greater beyonder gate when the Great Severing occurred, then he would have definitely become as accessible as the Polymath!

So long as Ves made enough contributions to the Transhumanist Faction and quickly gained the appreciation of the higher ups, there would have been a good chance that he would get to meet with this legendary god pilot in person!

Unfortunately, it was not to be. A lot of brilliant Star Designers and god pilots that could each play a useful role in the Red Ocean had all been left behind.
