The Mech Touch novel Chapter 5203

"When I arrived at this conference, I expected to learn a lot of useful insights from the fellow experts invited by your faction. I did not expect to be stuffed back into a mech workshop and be told to go to work again."

Ves felt quite annoyed at being forced to deviate from his plan. He wanted to keep learning more about alien technology, the nature of phasewater and all of the amazing discoveries that people had made about E energy radiation.

Though he already attended enough sessions to come away with a lot of helpful guidance going forward, there were still many sessions related to restricted subjects that could offer even more information!

It pained Ves so much that the secret panel abruptly ordered him to fabricate a bunch of Carmine mechs for them. Couldn't the mechers show a bit of patience and at least wait until the conference had come to an end before they saddled him up with homework.

The three sub-leaders did not even bother to give Ves time to think or accept his new assignment.

A teleportation system directly plucked him out of the secure chamber and brought him to a mech workshop!

At least Jovy came along as well. Having a familiar and friendly face around helped a lot with acclimatizing to his new circumstances.

"This is an opportunity, Ves. The higher ups wouldn't have bothered to give you time to produce your works if they found your speculative claims to lack substance. During the questioning, they pressed you on the versatility and limits of the Carmine System because they are interested in how extensively your work can change the mech community and the rest of our civilization for the better."

Ves calmed down a bit more as Jovy provided his insights on what just happened.

"I guess... it is better for people to take my words into serious consideration rather than dismiss my claims out of hand." Ves admitted. "I think I still need time to adjust my cognition. I came in expecting those big figures to look down on my work. After all, the claims 1 have made are a bit wild considering I have made little progress after I have completed my first two Carmine mechs. A sample size of just two is hardly sufficient to back up my predictions about how it can make anyone pilot a mech regardless of genetic aptitude."

Jovy smiled at his friend. "Perhaps you are right to expect to receive a skeptical reaction from an ordinary audience. We are different, though. You just came away from an inquiry led by three tier 2 galactic citizens that lasted for two whole hours. Do you know how few people ever get to present their work to such a distinguished panel? You have moved up in our society, Ves. If your work on companion spirits had already put you on the map, then your work on your Carmine System will cement your place among the leaders of our civilization!"

Ves felt both gratified and worried about that. He already anticipated that he would get to raise his profile and earn more recognition during this conference, but this was too much.

What frustrated him the most was that his actions would come under much greater scrutiny now. He had caught the attention of the likes of Master Xena Wintress and the Mace of Retaliation.

There was no way they would let their eye off him now that they discovered the amazing potential of his work!

Even if Ves was still too far away from realizing his design philosophy, that did not prevent these great figures from piling up a lot of expectations on his shoulders.

Once he became a higher tier galactic citizen, there was no way he could go back to the life he led once before!

He felt as if his situation was spinning out of control. There was no way he could calmly return to his fleet and merrily continue his Trailblazer Expedition as if little had changed.

As long as the Survivalists went ahead and increased his galactic citizenship tier, then Ves would not only attract a huge amount of attention from a lot of humans, but also the aliens!

Given that the aliens were already monitoring major movements taking place within red humanity's society, they would definitely be keen on taking out any human leaders or elites.

This meant that if Ves actually became a tier 4 galactic citizen or higher by the end of the week, the aliens would definitely not miss the opportunity to launch a decapitation strike on his expeditionary fleet!

Although the mechers promised to provide Ves with an escort force that consisted of numerous powerful RA mechs and warships, it was still short of a proper warfleet.

A full-blown assault from an alien warfleet could easily roll over a smaller protection force by relying on heavy firepower and the advantage of numbers!

The likelihood that the aliens would divert one of their strategic warfleets for this task was not high.

However, if the aliens thought they had a window of opportunity to whack a freshly promoted tier 3 galactic citizen who happened to be located close to the frontlines, then any ambitious alien commander would take the shot!

As much as Ves hated the thought, he might have to put serious thought into putting his expedition days behind him. He would just be setting himself up for assassinations and ambush attacks if he kept strolling through the deep frontier while red humanity was in the middle for a war that determined the future of the Red Ocean!

Once he was done with adjusting his mentality, Ves began to take a serious look at the workshop.

What struck him first was that it was a modern and incredibly high-end facility. Ves did not know what kind of mechers made use of this place, but it was definitely reserved for a Master Mech Designer.
