The Mech Touch novel Chapter 5399

Chapter 5399 Soulbound

The fabrication run started under similar conditions as before.

"Maow!"

Alexandria appeared and formed a design network. The minds of Gloriana, Ves and Benjamin temporarily became connected to each other, causing each of them to be able to understand the others on a more intimate level.

Though a part of Ves found it a little awkward to become so intimately close with his grandfather all of a sudden, it was not a big deal.

The effectiveness of the design network largely relied on trust. Ves could hardly think of any people he trusted more. Benjamin was definitely a lot more trustworthy than his own mother!

Once the design network took shape, Ves and Blinky moved next.

Ves unveiled his glow and supercharged it with the help of Blinky's impressive ability to supply a lot of life-attributed energy.

He then proceeded to reach out to Vulcan, who partially possessed Ves' body yet again!

It was only at that point that the Miracle Couple had entered the best state that they could attain under their own power!

Though a part of Ves wanted to try and see if he could fabricate a strong enough mech without resorting to these tricks, he did not want to take the risk when it came to this important project.

The outcome of this fabrication run directly affected his grandfather's life and future!

Ves needed to take this project as seriously as possible and focus on delivering the best possible product.

He also sought to take advantage of the current circumstances to verify a few theories related to the Carmine System.

Work began right away.

Ves and Gloriana immediately began to operate the superfabs and other instruments in order to fabricate the new parts.

Alexa proceeded to disassemble the old Blood Star even further in order to prep it for a gradual replacement process.

The need to keep the Blood Star 'alive' imposed a considerable burden to the mech designers, but this was not the first time they worked around this limitation.

Venerable Benjamin in the meantime sat back and watched the younger generation at work.

Just like Ark, Benjamin came in touch with all kinds of amazing and complicated technical knowledge about his expert mech.

He was admittedly not as smart or learned as his proudest son, so Benjamin did not obsess too much over trying to understand the complicated science behind his mech.

It was enough for him to know that his grandson had done the very best he could to turn his expert mech into a suitable combat platform.

Ves and Gloriana initially did not encounter too many issues when they engaged in their work.

Unlike the Lionheart, the Blood Star Mark II was primarily designed as an offensive space knight.

Any mech that was designed with thick armor and a larger mech frame was inherently easier to design and construct. The fault tolerance of such a mech was considerably greater and there were not as many sensitive components that could produce additional complications.

There were only two different elements that the mech designers needed to be careful about.

First, the Carmine System needed to remain healthy, undamaged and connected to the mech frame.

Second, the shoulder-mounted hardpoints imposed additional requirements onto the product.

Neither of these issues were insurmountable.

Ves paid constant attention to the state of the recently upgraded Carmine System. As long as it exhibited any abnormal activity, he would receive an alert and be able to respond if necessary.

His wife mainly chose to deal with the other delicate internal systems. This included the additional energy transmission lines and other structural elements related to the shoulder-mounted weapon systems.

As they worked, Ves did not try to focus entirely on the work in front of him. He let a part of his thoughts wander in an attempt to find further inspiration.

The last fabrication run taught Ves that it was not necessary to rely on serendipity and random factors to obtain inspiration.

There were multiple ways for a mech designer to raise his mood and stoke his passion.

Ves speculated that one of the tricks that mech designers could employ to improve the quality of their output was to think about ideas that could make them excited!

There were many possible subjects that Ves could choose from that were related to the Blood Star Mark II.

For example, he could think about how the second generation Carmine System might improve the Blood Pact.

It was too difficult for Ves to make a prediction about this. Even if he formed a possible answer, there was little he could do to apply it to his current work.

What truly interested Ves at this time was the effect of his active Living Workshop on the Blood Star Mark II.

All of the new parts that were meant to replace the old ones became imbued with life.

Combined with the fact that Ves intended to turn the Blood Star Mark II into a powerful prime mech, the upgrade machine was bound to become a lot more alive than before!

This was a substantial leap. How would all of these changes and improvements affect the transformed living mech?

Would there be a mismatch between the Carmine System and all of the replacement parts?

While Ves tried to come up with answers to these interesting questions, he also made sure to keep an eye on the overall state of the current condition of the living mech.

Given how the cyborg mech had already undergone a period of growth while it had formed a permanent Blood Pact with Benjamin, Ves could not treat the machine as a collection of discreet but interconnected parts.

Instead, Ves began to see the original Blood Star as an upsized version of a human body.
