The Mech Touch novel Chapter 7060

When Ves requested a meeting with the Web Mistress, he did not think that he could automatically obtain the solutions to all of his problems.

Star Designers were much more capable than most creators, but even they possessed limits.

The minor favor that Ves cashed in also only stretched so far.

It would be unreasonable to demand a Star Designer to devote a lot more time and resources into creating a tailored solution for his problem.

Ves was fine with this. He already felt grateful enough for receiving a clear analysis and suggestions on what he should look out for in a potential solution.

He would proceed as always, which was to travel around and keep his eye out for new insights or phenomena that could be used to develop a brand-new solution that was not available in the past.

This was how he managed to tackle very big issues that no one managed to tame before like the genetic aptitude problem.

His previous track record of success gave him the confidence he needed to commit to this approach. That already made Ves better than many other mech designers who surrendered far too easily to the status quo.

It was too easy for mech designers to blindly submit to Star Designers. This was why meeting with the latter happened infrequently.

If Ves had not demonstrated his ability to maintain his critical thinking when meeting with one of the greatest figures of the mech industry, then he probably wouldn't have been able to be here today.

The meeting continued. Ves already went over his concerns related to the Larkinson Network, but there were still many other possible subjects that he wanted to talk about with a powerful Star Designer.

"When I asked to meet with you, I did so for two major reasons." He told her as he continued to pet the Golden Cat who was resting comfortably on his lap. "I wanted to seek your counsel on how to protect the Larkinson Network. My second objective is to borrow your expertise to improve an ambitious mech design project of great importance to myself."

Ves hesitated a bit. So far, the Web Mistress has not proven to be as reliable and trustworthy as he wanted. The only reasons why he was still thinking about sharing one of his sensitive plans to her was because he genuinely needed technical support and because he wanted to realize a more ambitious outcome.

Doing so entailed sharing sensitive information about one of the most important design projects of his career. Was it truly a good idea to share all of that to the Web Mistress?

Perhaps not, but Ves was no stranger to bad decisions. As long as the fallout was not too bad, he believed he should be able to manage the situation.

He decided to pull the trigger.

"Here." He said as he retrieved a secure data chip from his suit pocket and gently placed it on the table before sliding it in the Star Designer's direction. "Please study the files contained within. It contains my draft design for an advanced Carmine mech that is specifically designed for my personal usage. I call it a Polymetal mech. As long as this concept works out the way I think it will, I am open to making it available to mech designers and other technically-inclined individuals."

The Web Mistress stared down at the data chip without touching it. Her expression grew intrigued as she was somehow able to directly read the data from the device without needing to put it into a machine.

To prove this, she symbolically raised her hand and projected the image of the draft design over the low table.

The design was clearly lacking in details as Ves had not formally started his design work as of yet. He had only recently incorporated the specifications of the smart metal products that he managed to obtain from the Cybernetic Empire.

That latter part caught the Web Mistress' attention first. "I see you have already concluded a transaction with the Cybernetic Empire. The capabilities and cost-effectiveness of these NanoGatherer and NanoSmith models are impressive. It is missing an obvious offensive component in the form of the NanoWarriors. That makes it unable to overcome greater and active opposition."
