The Mech Touch novel Chapter 7066

After the pair was done with talking about Ves' meeting with the Web Mistress, they moved on to Gloriana's shorter meeting with the Resonance Smith.

"So how was he?" Ves asked.

His wife adopted a complicated expression. "The Resonance Smith was… eccentric to say the least. I am used to that from you, but His Excellency is much less restrained in this regard. He has no desire to hide his true nature from anyone."

"Why should he? He is a Star Designer. Very few people can restrain him these days, and none of them have a compelling reason to do so. He can do damn near anything so long as he doesn't threaten the core interests of his peers."

"Well, I can tell you that he was probably in a good mood. Human civilization in the Red Ocean was moving towards a future envisioned by the Unbound Humanity Faction. Jose Ukewe believed that this will 'unlock' our race's potential and help us regain the astounding growth rate that we last experienced during the first half of the Age of Conquest. Only through overwhelming pressure will we be able to cut out the rot that has festered our society and let a new generation of proven leaders take charge."

"I can already tell he is a big fan of the Societal Revival Theory." Ves mildly said. "I do not necessarily disagree with this sentiment, but isn't the Resonance Smith being a bit too… celebratory about all of these changes?"

"He is, and he is being shameless about it. You should have heard him bragging about this to me. He thinks that the breakdown of RA authority is essential to creating room for upstarts like you and I to grow and take their place."

"Is that the only subject he talked about?"

"Of course not." Gloriana said. "We merely chatted about various topics while he devoted most of his attention to devising a solution for my problem. After working for over half an hour, he granted me documents containing initial solutions to the problems that arise when trying to merge archetech with superdimensional technology. As far as the Resonance Smith has tested, his solution works, but the outcome is still far from perfect. Fortunately, he has been generous enough to bestow me with a roadmap that outlines what research we must complete in order to produce incremental performance gains."

She shared the virtual documents to Ves.

He skimmed through them quickly but quickly got lost in all of the dense jargon, mathematical formulas and complicated theories.

Perhaps he might be able to understand half of what is contained in the documents, but that would require him to sit down and read the pages carefully while referencing all kinds of textbooks.

That was way too tedious and time-consuming for him, so he ceased his examination and decided to leave this matter to Gloriana as originally planned.

"So does that mean we can proceed with completing the Riot Mark III as a full superdimensional archemech?" Ves asked the most important question.

"The short answer is yes. The long answer is more nuanced than that." His wife replied.

"You will need to elaborate that further."

Gloriana drew a projected graph in the air.

"The initial solutions provided by the Resonance Smith are far from perfect. They do the job by meeting the minimum standards. In my eyes, they are akin to half-failed solutions. Incorporating them in the Riot Mark III Project without implementing any further changes and adjustments will lead to an expert spearman mech that is not as light and strong as he could have been. The archetech-compatible alloy formulas that he managed to research and placed in my possession incorporate a lower proportion of high-grade superdimensional matter and a higher proportion of stabilizing materials."

She placed a dot at the lower end of the performance graph.

"The only advantages of these superdimensional alloy formulas is that they are cheap in terms of superdimensional matter requirements. We only need to use up less than half of the volume of raw matter in order to produce a stable alloy. Best of all is that the formula contains a number of complementary exotics that slightly increases the potency of the existing superdimensional matter. The Resonance Smith told me that he has 'taken inspiration' from his study of alien-grade superdimensional alloys to come up with this small improvement, but that he still has much to go before he can find more effective combinations."

Ves looked intrigued. "I see. So the performance of this alloy is not good if we compare it to the theoretical peak that can be attained with a much better variation of superdimensional alloy, but it should be enough to satisfy our short-term needs, is that correct?"

Gloriana nodded. "From a purely physical perspective, the solutions provided by the Resonance Smith will make the Riot Mark III less resilient than the First Sword Mark III if their mass is equal." _{freewēbnoveℓ.com}
