The Mech Touch novel Chapter 5412

Chapter 5412 Building a Bomb

A couple of days went by as Ves worked to fabricate his new five elements mech.

While Ves still considered it to be a variation of the Fey Project, it was clear that the new design had transcended its original root and reached a higher level!

This was the sort of advanced mech design that only Master Mech Designers and other highly competent figures would be able to design.

The sheer difficulty and complexity involved with incorporating the five elements in a single mech would frustrate any other mech designer!

"Gloriana can never design this kind of mech. This falls so far outside of her area of expertise that she would not even know where to begin."

Only people who had become exposed to the secret of ancient cultivation science knew how terrible it was to combine all five classical elements in a single product.

Ves primarily derived his confidence from two factors.

First, he did not foolishly try to combine all five elements in a single mech frame. That was a step too far for him. He needed to develop a much greater mastery of the five elements and become intimately proficient with fusing them with each other before he could develop a genuine machine that could contain all of that combined power.

Second, he believed that creating five living entities that each possessed an inherently high control over their assigned elements would help to control all of those combined elements.

Instead of letting a single living mech bear all of the burden of managing several different energies, Ves split the load and relied on teamwork and a division of responsibilities to better harness all of these complicated interactions.

That made the Fey Project a substantially different living mech than anything else he had conceived of in the past.

In his eyes, the Fey Project was not strictly a mech anymore, but had shifted into another kind of existence.

The use of multiple living personalities and the high relying on teamwork and coordination reminded Ves of how starships were run. Many different ratings and officers utilized their own expertise to fulfill their own distinctive roles and manage their stations to the best of their abilities.

Alone, these spacers were only good at a few jobs at best, but together, they could turn any starship into an efficient and high-performing machine!

Although the Fey Project was clearly not a starship, Ves began to develop the notion that his work started to operate in the same way as a larger vessel. _{ƒrēewebnovel.com}

This caused Ves to entertain troubling thoughts for a while.

"Is this truly a mech?"

One of the fundamental principles of mechs was that they were singular machines that should be controlled by one pilot at most.

While there were rare instances where parties designed mechs that could be piloted by two or more specially trained individuals, they had fallen out of vogue centuries ago due to their heightened manpower requirements.

Ves clearly did not have to worry about this problem for the Fey Project, but substituting multiple mech pilots with multiple semi-autonomous fey was another matter!

"My mech will definitely become a handful to any mech pilot that is 'lucky' enough to pilot it." He chuckled.

He did not worry too much about personality clashes and so on. He inherently designed the fey to maximize their cooperation with each other. Working together to produce greater synergies was their fundamental purpose.

What truly concerned him was whether the final product would become stable enough to be usable in a practical setting.

Even now, Ves was not entirely certain whether he was making his most innovative standard mech to date or whether he was putting together a giant superbomb!

"1 have no other choice to see this through." He frowned. "No amount of baseless predictions or questionable simulations can give me any certainty. Only the actual mech can determine once and for all whether my idea has any merit."

He was under a compulsion so see this abnormal project through. Ves could not stop himself even if he tried.

This was the scary part about entering into an inspired state. He had become so driven in his current obsession that he needed to explore it to fullest if he wanted to gain true satisfaction!

Two days went by. It took that much time for Ves to fabricate all of the parts of the revised Fey Project even when he took the additional delays into account.

This was remarkably faster than any of the expert mechs he had fabricated before.

The Fey Project was not as packed with advanced technology as those high-ranking machines.

The Elite Edition of the Fey Project might be a lot more technologically endowed than the typical second-class mech, but it was still a standard mech in the end.

With a modern suite of Terran production machines at his disposal, Ves was able to churn out all of the parts a lot faster than before.

Even the transphasic mech parts hardly took any additional time to make!

As Ves worked on components that integrated hyper materials that were related to one of the five elements, he steadily began to learn more about their uses and the way to handle them. Practical learning granted him plenty of new insights that were never prominent in theory or in his design process.

All of this helped to make up for the considerable gaps in his understanding of the five elements.

Ves knew he could make his life a lot easier if he was willing to call upon a little help.

For example, he could ask certain design spirits for tips. Gaia was an especially prominent entity. Her innate comprehension of wood and earth was so high that she could definitely boost these aspects of the five elements mech!

Ves and Vulcan already possessed a high degree of understanding and feel for metal, so they did not require any additional assistance in this regard.

Only the elements of water and fire were a bit more troublesome to resolve.

If he truly needed help in harnessing the power of fire, then he could call Venerable Isobel Kotin for help.

As for taming the power of water, Ves did not have any better choice than turning to the Phase King.

Neither of these choices sounded reliable to be honest.

Even if Ves was able to borrow a lot of deeper insights related to controlling the five elements, all of this knowledge was only relevant if his Fey Project manipulated them in isolation.

"That is not good enough."

What he truly needed was actual knowledge related to fusing several elements together. Its absence left a glaring hole in his five elements mech that Ves had to fill up one way or another.

He could choose from two different approaches to solve this massive problem.

First, he could rely on his own innate understanding and guesswork to design his living mech and living fey in such a way that would hopefully lead to a favorable outcome.

Second, he could rely on a course of action that had always helped him a lot in these kinds of situations.

He could approach his mother for help.
