The Mech Touch novel Chapter 7221

Chapter 7221: Excessive Preparations

The time had finally come to upgrade the Riot Mark III.

No more delays.

Ves found it difficult to set aside all of his other affairs and focus on completing the Riot Mark III Project.

Taking over the Phase Lord Department heaped a lot of responsibility on his shoulders. He had to supervise the transition to a new regime and make sure that the original members of the department got along well enough with the newcomers transferred from the other parts of the Red Collective.

The old guard and the new guard differed drastically from each other.

The former consisted of people who almost literally worshiped the Ascended Giants as their gods due to strange psychology. They were fanatically loyal to the object of their worship and frequently disagreed with the newcomers who sought to bring the Phase Lord Department back in line.

The latter therefore generated a lot of disruptions as they could not wait to bring everything back in compliance. Their refusal to acknowledge that the Ascended Giants were gods had already led to brief fistfights that immediately got interrupted when the security systems forcibly ended the scuffles.

The strategoi occasionally stepped in to defuse the tension, but their inclinations often caused them to neglect the mortals around them. It was difficult for them to bring themselves to care for whatever trivial matters kept the mortals occupied. They were little different from ants from the perspective of a human phase lord.

Ves needed to come up with a comprehensive plan to make the two sides coexist with each other. Perhaps it was too much to hope that they would meld into a single group, but he at least expected them to work together under a shared goal.

There were other matters that required his attention as well. The Secret Department sought to bring him up to speed, not even waiting for the big shots to increase his galactic citizenship tier.

After all, he had already become a department head by this time. That was the true reason why he became qualified to come into contact with highly classified information. He would need to take these hidden factors into account when he decided how to deploy his armed forces in the future.

It would be really detrimental for Ves to unknowingly ruin a master plan that dozens of other high-tiered galactic citizens relied upon!

While he was already looking forward to receiving the first of multiple intelligence briefings, Ves had nonetheless made the difficult decision to reschedule these appointments for another day.

There was no urgent need to widen his perspective and peel back the layer of fog that hid many truths.

"I am a mech designer first."

His status of department head was exalted, but he knew that he only managed to make it this far because he dedicated so much of his life towards mech design.

He had been straying too far into other activities. He still remembered the warning he received very early in his career about not letting his side activities surpass his main activity.

It did not matter if he became the polemarchos with a force of 359 Ascended Giants at his disposal today or the Holy ’Daughter’ of the defunct Metal Shrine tomorrow.

In his heart, he was still the same old mech designer who started off with a humble second-hand 3D printer all the way in Cloudy Curtain.

To keep his true passion alive and well, Ves forcibly shoved aside all of his other responsibilities and planned to dedicate 7 whole days to the transformation and reinvention of the Riot Mark III.

This should be more than enough time to complete the transformation of the Riot Mark III and account for any unforeseen accidents and delays.

"Gloriana should be happy." He smiled.

One of the other reasons why he prioritized this job over others was to get himself in his wife’s good books again.

It actually shamed him that he realized that his wife had been doing a better job of working as a mech designer than himself.

With a wife at his side who shared the same passion for mechs, Gloriana often served as his benchmark for success.

He always considered Gloriana to be a serious competitor. She might not be as versatile and creative as him, but she also had to deal with far fewer distractions due to her more focused and disciplined career trajectory.

This meant that she was constantly making progress towards becoming a Master Mech Designer.

Ves grew nervous at the thought of letting his wife become a Master Mech Designer first.

This was not supposed to happen!

Although Ves only wanted the best for his wife, his pride as a mech designer still treated her like a competitor!

"I can’t lose this race."

Everything had already been prepared.

Gloriana had already upgraded and calibrated the production machines of her personal workshop.

She especially worked together with the Mech Supremacist Faction of the Red Association to develop customized machines that were able to produce archemetal a lot more effectively than standard machines.

She also made sure that they were rated to work with superdimensional matter, though this turned out to be a really difficult matter.

The production machines themselves had to be made with superdimensional matter as well, and that introduced its own complications.

Ves had not bothered to keep up with this development. All he understood was that this was still an ongoing issue.

It didn’t matter. Partial progress was better than no progress. It should be considerably easier to fabricate a high-grade superdimensional mech than before.

Recent advancements in superdimensional theory as well as applications meant that the Riot Mark III was already technologically superior compared to the most recent First Sword Mark III.
