The Mech Touch novel Chapter 7224

Chapter 7224: Monster in the Making

The assembly process proceeded with considerable difficulty.

As much as Gloriana used the extra time afforded to her to plan out this phase of the fabrication run, she could not foresee everything.

The only saving grace was that she knew that things would definitely not go right, so she put a lot of time between the steps to account for additional delays.

There were three major reasons why Ves and Gloriana encountered the most difficult fabrication process of their careers so far.

The damaged state of the Riot Mark II forced the mech designers to work with greater care and attention.

Alexa no longer directly took part in the assembly work, but instead hovered around the reshape machine in order to act as a monitor and supervisor.

She inspected the ongoing work with meticulous care and flagged any parts and sections that threatened to cause problems if left unattended.

Another reason why the Riot Mark III put up so many difficulties was the interference produced by the Superdimensional Chaos Armor and other sources of instability.

While the Miracle Couple anticipated these problems and tried to save the assembly of the armor system for last, Jovy’s design philosophy was not confined to the exterior.

Even the internal components carried a touch of probabilistic chaos!

All of this meant that the more new components started to get attached to the mech frame, the greater the chance of accidents.

This was not a big deal for the new archemetal components. Most of them were incredibly tough and resilient. They could easily withstand simple hits and falls.

The problem was that the old parts were much less able to withstand serious accidents. There were times when Ves and Gloriana feared that the mech frame would collapse in the middle of its transformation because the old and damaged mech frame could not bear all of the pressure!

The third complication was the inclusion of the Carmine System. This required the mech designers to open up the deepest parts of the internal structure and insert mechanical as well as biomechanical parts that possessed completely different properties than the surrounding archetech!

Of course, the Carmine System that Ves made use of this time was not a normal version. He had applied several improvements to it in order to increase its damage resistance and add a few extra safeguards.

While the installation of the Carmine System was already difficult enough, doing it while the incomplete mech frame spontaneously caused accidents made it worse!

It was situations like these that tested a mech designer’s comprehensive abilities.

Ves and Gloriana not only had to do their best to anticipate these kinds of accidents and take measures to stop them in advance.

If they failed, they had to respond quickly and improvise solutions on the spot to stabilize the Riot when the living mech was at his most vulnerable!

There was no time to formulate an entire response plan. The two mech designers had to work on the spot to remedy the immediate issue.

Fortunately, the Miracle Couple more than proved their mettle during this phase.

Gloriana possessed a sharp vision for mechanical imperfections and excelled at anticipating problems in advance. She did not hesitate to pause her current assignment in order to move to another section of the mech frame in order to correct any issues that she managed to spot.

Ves on the other hand took on the role of a rescuer. He responded the fastest if the chaotic interplay between new and old parts caused sudden problems.

With Vulcan assisting him from the side, he was able to devise clever solutions in much less time, allowing him to prevent a situation from deteriorating any further.

“The Riot is proving to be an untameable mount.” Ves spoke with a hint of tired frustration. “I know it is all deliberate, but it is definitely not fun to deal with these escalating problems. The accident rate is absurdly high.”

Gloriana shook her head. “At least you have solid proof that you and Jovy’s vaunted Chaos Armor is working. If the Riot Mark III is already generating so much metaphysical instability when he is still in an uncompleted state, imagine what it would be like when he is finally whole and converted into a D-arm.”

Ves began to frown. “If the finished product is going to be worse, then… I am afraid we need to build a special containment chamber to protect this ship or any other vessel that carries this dangerous machine.”

He genuinely overlooked this issue when it should have been obvious in hindsight.

Perhaps he might be able to cobble up an improvised solution with the spare materials that were left after fabricating the initial components.

That would expend valuable superdimensional matter as well as other high-grade materials that should have been reserved for repairs and fabricating spare parts.
