The Mech Touch novel Chapter 7545

Chapter 7545: Dreaming of a New E-Generator

Ves had no idea how to create a facsimile of a design seed.

He spent several hours trying to brainstorm a viable idea, only to crash into one wall after another.

It was only after he spun around for the umpteenth time that he finally got struck by an epiphany.

"What if... the design seed is alive?!"

This was a radical idea that he had never considered before!

In fact, he doubted that any mech designer would have any reason to contemplate such a crazy suggestion.

Yet the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he may have moved closer to the truth!

Struck by inspiration, Blinky turned his sharp spiritual senses directly towards the modest design flame burning quietly inside Ves.

Alas, this inspection did not reveal any pertinent details. The purple companion spirit could only tell that the deceptively simple-looking design flame was an intangible construct that hid a lot of complexity.

It was impossible for Ves to examine the true depth of a design seed or design flame. He lacked the strength and techniques to perform such a deep and exquisite examination of one of the most multi-faceted phenomena of the mech designer profession.

Nonetheless, this lack of results did not diminish his confidence in his latest theory in the slightest.

He became even more certain that his design flame possessed a certain degree of life!

The lack of hard proof did not bother him in the slightest.

He also did not feel disappointed when his intuition failed to provide any clarity or direction.

He just felt that his guess made sense. The logic behind it sounded compelling.

The principal reason why he believed that his design flame contained signs of life was because it existed as an independent high-level construct within his Spirituality.

Ves originally birthed and nurtured his design flame from his own soul. It unquestionably belonged to him, but he did not have a strong degree of control over its behavior. The design flame acted completely autonomously.

This reminded Ves of multiple shenanigans involving the creation of internal and external incarnations.

"It’s not a companion spirit... but close to it." Ves tentatively concluded. "My design flame shares the same proximity as Blinky, but my control over it is nowhere near as close. Why are they so different?"

He already had a possible answer in mind.

It was because Ves was not the only ’parent’ of his design flame.

In truth, while Ves may have donated most of the spiritual energy required to form the initial design seed, it was only due to another source that it had gained its exquisite structure!

The Kingdom of Mechs and later on the Red Kingdom provided the blueprints, the expansion modules and all of the other intricate instructions to form his current design flame!

Ves could never provide these complete templates and instructions by himself. Only an existence on the level of the Red Kingdom could fill up all of the gaps and impose so much uniformity among all of the mech designers under its jurisdiction.

It was for this reason and more that his design flame did not open itself up to him despite the fact that it existed to help him perform his primary duties.

Ves did not care too much about why the Progenitors of Mechs created these circumstances. All he was interested at the moment was figuring out how he could create a bootleg copy based on his latest inspiration.

"Design seeds and companion spirits share a few traits in common. I can work with this if I start from this premise."

He actually felt that there was greater significance behind this assertion. He felt that he was closing in on a major realization, one that could change his entire perspective on a major subject.

However, given his current priorities, he lacked the interest to explore these unrelated tangents. He readily set aside his flights of fancy so that he could maintain his focus on his core objectives.

He began to doodle a few models and stuff in the air. The projected interface became increasingly more cluttered as Ves continued to explore numerous ways to proceed.

His initial idea was simple. He recalled the old design for a companion spirit fruit and began to adjust it based on his present needs.

It helped a lot that companion spirit fruits and companion spirit trees had been in use for several years now. Ves had access to a rich amount of empirical data. He knew it worked on a wide variety of human beings. He also possessed a decent understanding on how companion spirits formed out of the souls of different individuals.

He leveraged all of this understanding to engineer a new kind of fruit that did not seek to birth a new companion spirit, but instead sought to perform the Last Defiance Technique.

Ves encountered plenty of new problems along the way. He only managed to form tentative solutions to them. Without testing any of his work in reality, he could not completely guarantee the soundness of his work.

As a result, by the time he completed the initial design of the poisoned fruit, he did not harbor too much confidence in its mechanisms.

"This... is a decent start, but it is far from enough."
