The Mech Touch novel Chapter 7100

Chapter 7100: Heavy Gift

The time had come for Ves to recraft the Flower Parasol.

It was already a fairly powerful high-level artifact when it emerged from the Wishing Fountain, but it was designed to accommodate a different wielder in a different time.

The object was based completely on ancient ’technology’, if you could even call it that. It contained no modern technological marvels that could have vastly expanded its power and utility.

Although that could be an advantage in certain circumstances, Ves felt it was a waste of potential.

This was why he had been thinking about reforming it for a long time.

The biggest problem was that he wanted to do so in a way that preserved as much of its original features as possible while changing it enough to massively upgrade its performance.

Trying to balance these two demands was a nightmare.

Ves knew that the most important priority was to preserve the rune structure that was embedded onto the surface and possibly the underlying structure of the wooden shaft.

This meant that he could not replace it for anything else.

That was a big constraint, but one he could work around.

As Ves entered his workshop, he took a seat and called up a projection of his current design.

It had gone through a lot of changes and evolutions. The latest version already incorporated a lot of new tech and materials that he managed to obtain during his stay in Yernstall.

The new umbrella should give his daughter all of the essential features she needed in her daily life.

The goal was to turn the revised version of the Flower Parasol into a life relic of sorts that could grow stronger and evolve as Aurelia continued to grow older.

The new umbrella had to provide her with a lot of protection as well. This was non-negotiable even if his daughter could already rely on other forms of protection.

It never hurt to add redundancy!

Ves mainly wanted to rely on the Flower Parasol existing mystical defensive features to bear the brunt of the burden.

However, he also wanted to integrate a small personal azure energy shield generator in order to provide an additional layer of defense.

Ves had to find a way to integrate the components into the artifact without making it too long, thick and unwieldy.

He also sought to add other tech to the artifact such as a sensor system, a communication system, a jamming module as well as a few other electronic components.

He also attempted to add other modules such as a compact luminar crystal gun, but he failed to add it to a design that met his standards.

Oh well. Ves believed that the upgraded umbrella would definitely serve an excellent companion to Aurelia.

Not just because of its hard features, but also its symbolism.

The new umbrella needed to look distinctive enough to become a recognizable artifact when viewed by outsiders.

It would be best if Ves changed the canopy images from exotic flowers to a more majestic and relevant theme.

Should he place embroidered images of cats instead? What about mechs or something even more pretentious?

A good symbol conveyed the right meaning without relying on words or exposition. People who became skilled at understanding and interpreting them could glean a large amount of information despite the absence of any spoken or written words.

Ves had been struggling with trying to figure out the artistic direction of the birthday present.

He could settle for the default choice to adopt cats as the dominant theme.

However, this was a decision that appealed more to Ves. If Aurelia wanted to build up her own brand, then she needed to rely on a symbol that he would never choose on a voluntary basis.

"Maybe I should change as little as possible and stick to the existing theme of flowers."

This was the safest choice, but not necessarily the most born other hidden dangers.

He still failed to make up his mind on selecting a theme, so he chose to set this matter aside and wait until he discussed this issue with others.

Ves checked the materials that he reserved for this project.

He intended to layer weapon-grade superdimensional alloy over the original shaft of the FLower Parasol. He also intended to create a decorative handle that should look elegant as well as functional to an extent.

What was important was that the superdimensional matter should also host electronic components inside of it all. There was no space to do it the regular way.

Of course, this was an extremely difficult technological feat. Red humanity’s grasp on superdimensional technology had barely advanced to make this possible, and Ves could only create a device that ran on electronics hidden in the higher dimensions if he manually assembled it by hand.

Doing so would be worth it, though. The new umbrella had to remain light and fairly delicate in appearance. It would never serve as a good companion to Aurelia if it looked like it could only be lifted and held by a giant of a human!

Ves worried about the long-term stability and reliability of multidimensional electronics. He was not entirely certain whether the results would remain stable over time.
