Ves did not gain any inspiration about how he could qualitatively Improve the performance of the weapons of the Jupiter Project.
While it might be useful to incorporate hyper materials into them in some fashion, doing so could just as easily mess up their performance on the battlefield during a critical moment where failure was unacceptable!
'You should leave this up to Ketls and Dulo." Gloriana placed her hand on his arm. "We are not designing this expert mech alone. Ketis has developed a few interesting ideas on how to design the plasma sword, and Dulo knows much more about spears than either of us. Leave this work to the specialists."
"Hm, you're right, I suppose." Ves conceded. "It doesn't really matter if the plasma sword and the spear are not as advanced as the rest of the Jupiter Project's configuration. They can easily be updated or replaced since they are just external equipment. From everything I've witnessed during the Survivalist conference, 1 expect that the Red Association will soon announce a new mech generation that will introduce lots of new innovations."
His wife's eyes brightened as she stared at him with repressed enthusiasm. "Can you give me a preview of what is to come?"
"Hm, I'm not sure how much I can share with you. A lot of the stuff I've learned is confidential. 1 can tell you that part of the new release will consist of restricted technology that the inechers have decided to let go in order to strengthen the masses. None of this is new to the big shots, but it can make a substantial difference to everyone else. Another part of it will consist of counters to phasewater technology. Overcoming transphasic energy shields is one of the greatest hurdles to defeating alien warships. The most important part is any useful tech on hyper materials and E energy radiation."
"I believe the final parr is Che most critical set of tech." Gloriana insightfully said. "The Age of Dawn shall truly commence once our industries start to incorporate this new category of technology."
Ves shared the same sentiment. "The Survivalists at the conference already started to use different umbrella terms to name this new field. The most common ones 1 have heard are hyper technology or dawn technology. 1 think the former will win out since it is much easier for most people to harness the power of E energy radiation by manipulating hyper materials."
Hyper technology or whatever people decided to call it was on the cusp of revolutionizing the tech base of red humanity!
Not all of it was new. Applications such as general cultivation elixirs originally came from ancient cultivation heritages.
What Interested Ves much more was how red humanity would manage to blend modern technology with E energy. The fusion between modern technological principles and ancient knowledge might produce wonderful surprises that could redefine mechs In the new age!
Every mech designer had high hopes for the future. They had to in order to maintain their faith in mechs. If the Age of Dawn did not do enough to benefit mechs, then the future of every mech designer and mech pilot would come under question!
"What will become of red humanity?" Gloriana wondered. "Will unexplainable powers like yours become the norm in our society? Will science experience a regression as 1 + 1 no longer equals 2? Our clan is blessed by your innovations, but if your works are representative of what Is to come, I am not certain whether 1 will like what our technology is mutating into. Will we still be human by the lime we are done?"
Ves shook his head even as he leaned over and pulled her into his embrace. Her scent wafted in his nose, causing him to appreciate her company even more.
"We don't have the luxury to consider all of this high-minded philosophy stuff. Leave that to the tier 1 galactic citizens. Our only concern should be to figure out a way for our family to survive the coming years. I would do everything to keep our children happy and alive. I don't want them to grow up in darkness and despair. Whether that means that we will have to turn ourselves into the monsters of the dark, I will do so without a heartbeat. Survival trumps everything."
His wife smiled as she relished in his body warmth. "Spoken as a true Survivalist. J suppose you are correct. 1 have noticed that the Red Association has taken charge as of late. The Red Fleet hasn't generated as much attention as of late. Do you know what the Heelers are planning?"
"Not really." Ves shook his head. "Just because they're being quiet doesn't mean they are weak. Don't underestimate them. There is talk that the fleeters are working on their own brand of hyper technology that is highly applicable to warships. For example, what 1 can do with fourth generation luminar crystal technology, the Heelers may be able to accomplish with conventional human tech."
That time was coming closer. He could feel it. It was not sustainable for the Red Fleet to remain low-key all of this time. A day would come when they would unveil whatever they had boon cooking up all of this time and shock everyone who thought that they wore slowly fading into oblivion!
His wife continued to nuzzle her head against his shoulder. "I hope that the fleeters will inject much-needed common sense into human technology. No offense to you, but much of your work is so counterintuitive and psychoactive that nothing makes sense anymore."
"Hahaha! J don't blame yon, Gloriana. It takes a special mindset to navigate it all. To be honest, the main reason why 1 haven't gotten lost is because I let my intuition do much of the heavy lifting. 1 know it is not entirely proper to build up a dependency on factors outside of my understanding, but J think this is how cultivation science was originally practiced in ancient times."
His wife made a contemptuous expression. "Back then, ancient people did not have access to modern computers and scientific principles. An ascended barbarian is still a barbarian. 1 very much doubt that our distant ancestors could achieve anything meaningful without resorting to metaphysics to cheat their way out of a problem."
"Are you calling me a barbarian?" Ves asked.
"I think you are barely clever enough to answer your own question."
The couple went back to mech design. They passionately discussed the design choices for the configuration of the Jupiter Project.
Ves and Gloriana cared a lot about this project. Their passion burned hotter as they continued to puzzle over how they could turn their ambitious design goals into reality. ƒrēewebnovel.com
