The Mech Touch novel Chapter 7395

Chapter 7395: Role Fulfilled

Many people would feel honored and exhilarated if they received an invitation to meet a Star Designer.

That was not necessarily the case for Ves.

He generally received much more pleasant outcomes if he was the one who initiated these rare meetings.

Getting summoned by an esteemed tier 1 galactic citizen usually meant that the august figure wanted to entrust him with greater responsibilities or take care of a troublesome matter.

Ves came up with a lot of different ideas on what the Resonance Smith wanted from him this time.

He quickly took care of his remaining affairs in Yernstall. There was so much he wanted to do, but he had little choice but to delegate meetings and other chores to Alexa Streon, Gavin Neumann, Eliza Mo Ragadan, the Divine Harpoon and other subordinates.

Alexa badly wanted to have an in-depth discussion with Ves, but he had little choice but to postpone it. He could not afford to be unprepared when meeting one of the brightest and shrewdest minds in the Red Ocean!

His wife had clear concerns as well. She approached him as she held a napping Marvaine in her arms.

"The Resonance Smith might not give us time to decide how to cash in the minor favor that we are in the middle of earning. We need to make a set of priorities right away. The Resonance Smith has mastered many high technologies related to true resonance. He is the foremost authority on this subject. Since our clan relies so heavily on our champions, I suggest that you ask for advanced knowledge and techniques related to amplifying or narrowing the application of true resonance."

Ves frowned. This was a new request.

"Of all of the things we can exchange a minor favor for, I am not sure whether it is worthwhile enough for us to ask that kind of stuff." He said. "If stolen resonance technology becomes critical in the coming years, then we should think about gaining the secret to produce materials that can be used to make much more compact stolen resonance generators. Outside of this, I am also thinking about asking for various high-level alloy formulas that can help me bridge the gap between theory and practice in my not-yet-realized elemental Carmine mech design projects."

He did not need to rely on any further external aid to complete the development of his Woodsap mechs.

He also made ample preparations to develop his Polymetal mechs properly.

It was the remaining 3 elemental Carmine mech design projects that still presented a lot of unknown hurdles.

Bloodfire mechs demanded extreme heat-resistant modifications to their human Carmine mech pilots, which could get very costly. It was not realistic to demand all of them undergo top-tier full-body cybernetic conversion like Saint Isobel Kotin.

Mergewater mechs relied heavily on biomaterials that could assimilate other organic traits without impairing their most essential core functions. The greater their transformations, the greater the risk of losing the traits that made them mechs.

As for the earth-based Carmine mechs, Ves still had little clue how to design such beasts!

While Ves should have been responsible for solving the key design problems for all of his advanced projects, he felt no shame at turning to a Star Designer for a shortcut.

He was not a materials scientist. It was fairly normal for him to turn to outside help when it came to problems of this nature.

His projects mattered too much and their impact far exceeded that of a regular Senior or Master’s work.

If he could save years worth of tedious experimentation, then that would only benefit red humanity further!

So long as he continued to lead the development of the elemental Carmine Systems, it didn’t even matter to him that other mech designers took control of almost every other aspect of his elemental Carmine mechs!

This was why he was more than happy to let the Terrans shape the overall form and functions of the Arboreal Project.

Both he and the Terrans knew very well that the Woodsap System was the true core of the new mech design.

Without Ves contributing this unique and innovative variation of the Carmine System, the Terrans had no way of granting norms the gift of piloting super-powered mechs!

"What about asking for his help with exploiting the properties of superdimensional matter?" Gloriana suggested an alternative. "You have always wanted to obtain the secret to creating dimensional containers. I have heard that it is much easier to create with superdimensional matter as opposed to phasewater."

Ves shook his head. "It is precisely because it is so much easier that this secret isn’t so valuable. The general knowledge will become available to me sooner or later. If need be, we can even assign one of our R&D institutions to figure it out. No, we need to ask for boons that are practically impossible for us to obtain in the short and medium term."

The more time he spent as a high-tier galactic citizen, the more he realized the preciousness of minor favors. He could not squander them at will, as each of them represented the right to call upon the services of a True God-level individual!

His talk with his wife had been enlightening, but Ves ultimately had his own ideas.

He ended the discussion by kissing her on the cheek before planting a kiss on his only son’s cute forehead.

"Sweet dreams, buddy."

Little Marvaine continued to nap in bliss.

Due to the tight schedule, Ves did not have to wait too long before he answered the summons.

He put on one of his best dress uniforms, which his assistant and staff had recently replaced and upgraded, and boarded a high-security shuttle dispatched by the Red Association.

Flanked by menacing-looking escort mechs, the shuttle proceeded to bring Ves to an undisclosed location somewhere inside the vast Yernstall Central Star Node.

Though Ves possessed far better spatial senses than any normal human, he did not try to track the trajectory of the shuttle in a sign of respect.

Not that it would have worked. The shuttle activated many interference systems, and a handful of them were surprisingly effective at scrambling his spatial mapping.

The vehicle also passed through half-a-dozen heavy security gates that contained high-powered energy fields that produced much stronger interference!

If that was not enough, Ves and his shuttle got teleported around 3 times in rapid succession!

The security protocols so far seemed a bit excessive this time. The risk of infiltration, sabotage and assassination had clearly risen by a lot. Ves wondered whether the mechers were trying to guard against alien or human threats.

In any case, the shuttle finally touched down in a hangar bay and slowly opened its hatch.
