The Mech Touch novel Chapter 7062

Time was slowly ticking down.

Ves was acutely aware of how much time had passed and how many more minutes he had left.

As much as he was interested in continuing to talk about the new and rapidly escalating voribug threat, Ves did not forget about his original goals. _{freewebnσvel.cøm}

"Can we please get back to the original topic?" Ves asked as he gestured to the projection of the draft design of a Polymetal mech. "As we have established before, my personal Polymetal mech will consist of two fundamental smart metal products, the NanoGatherers and the NanoSmiths. This should be enough to serve as a productive foundation for my Polymetal mech. I think that I can produce remarkable results if I turn this smart metal mech alive."

The Web Mistress looked intrigued. "You already possess a solid plan for your future Carmine mech. What aid do you seek from me, young man?"

"I have several questions where your input is welcome, Your Excellency. First, I roughly understand what will happen if I turn a smart metal mech alive. Only the collective is alive. The individual nanomachines are sadly not clever enough to be alive by themselves. They're too small and rudimentary to develop this quality. They are also just components rather than fully self-contained units."

The Devil Tiger was his first true smart metal mech. It possessed several interesting qualities that Ves never fully appreciated at the time. It was only now that he had become a Senior Mech Designer with ambitions to develop a Polymetal mech that his first smart metal mech as well as tiger mech possessed a lot of reference value.

What Veronica learned from studying the present incarnation of the Devil Tiger both delighted and disappointed Ves.

His father possessed excellent control over his now-ace mech as a single unit, but he was unable to exert precise control over the individual nanomachines. It was only the programming as well as the living personality of the Devil Tiger that could perform such a feat.

Perhaps the only way for his father to gain total granular control over the individual nanomachines was to become a god pilot, because by that point he would merge with his living mech.

That should probably work out for Ryncol Larkinson. He did not possess the mental capacity to control an astronomical amount of nanomachines directly. He never expressed a need to control nanomachines to such a surgical extent either. He was more than happy with his present level of control over his battle partner.

Unfortunately, that did not align with Ves' own demands.

He had become a much more capable mech designer than when he initially developed the Devil Tiger on a whim.

Ves also had access to much better technology as well as materials.

With such luxurious conditions, he owed it to himself to design a smart metal Carmine mech that completely raised the ceiling of what was possible and set a new standard in the mech industry!

Ves outlined his ambitious demands to the Star Designer.

"My wishlist for my personal Polymetal mech can be boiled down to three key features." He said. "The first one is what I call Polylife. I not only want to find a way to make each and every individual nanomachine alive, but also grant them the ability to pool their intelligence in a very intimate and unbreakable kinship network. I want each of them to merge their spiritualities together in a superintelligence of sorts that is greater than the sum of its parts. The more nanomachines in the pool, the smarter and more alive my Polymetal mech has become. What do you think about this idea, Your Excellency?"

This was the first time he shared this radical concept to anyone. He had never bothered to share this crazy idea to Gloriana or his RA liaisons because their perspectives were too limited to appreciate the greatness of this idea.

Ves hoped that a Star Designer would be different. The one sitting before him should not only be smart enough to understand the intricacies of his idea, but hopefully be able to offer concrete tips and advice on how to realize it. He urgently needed guidance on how to translate his imagination into a concrete mech design.

The Web Mistress genuinely looked interested at this point.

"You have presented a difficult puzzle to me, Ves. Do you even have a plan to turn every individual nanomachine alive?"

"I do. I would not come here if I haven't figured out at least that much, though I still need to flesh out the mechanics of my action plan. What I am struggling with is how to tie all of these nanomachines into a small and most importantly unbreakable kinship network of sorts. As stated earlier, I want all of the NanoGatherers and NanoSmiths — or at least their original batch — to not only be alive on an individual basis, but form a superintelligent amalgamation that will constitute the main living mech."

The Web Mistress understood the key point.

"You believe that forming them into a strong network with my assistance will enable you to realize this Polylife concept, is that correct?"

Ves nodded. "Yes. I may be able to figure it out myself through lots of trial and error, but that requires me to commit a huge amount of time and effort. I can't spare that much these days. I would like you to help me draft the outline of a more complex 'kinship network' that can satisfy my demands."

The Web Mistress looked at the projection of the draft design of the Polymetal mech with a different mindset.

Knowing more about what Ves had in mind interested her a lot. This was definitely one of the boldest ideas that she had heard from a young Senior Mech Designer.

Most mech designers who heard about his Polylife concept would dismiss it as pure fantasy that was impossible to translate into reality, but she was different.

Star Designers rarely if ever dealt with impossibilities.
