A couple of days went by as Ves worked to fabricate his new five elents ch.
While Ves still considered it to be a variation of the Fey Project, it was clear that the new design had transcended its original root and reached a higher level!
This was the sort of advanced ch design that only Master ch Designers and other highly competent figures would be able to design.
The sheer difficulty and complexity involved with incorporating the five elents in a single ch would frustrate any other ch designer!
"Gloriana can never design this kind of ch. This falls so far outside of her area of expertise that she would not even know where to begin."
Only people who had beco exposed to the secret of ancient cultivation science knew how terrible it was to combine all five classical elents in a single product.
Ves primarily derived his confidence from two factors.
First, he did not foolishly try to combine all five elents in a single ch fra. That was a step too far for him. He needed to develop a much greater mastery of the five elents and beco intimately proficient with fusing them with each other before he could develop a genuine machine that could contain all of that combined power.
Second, he believed that creating five living entities that each possessed an inherently high control over their assigned elents would help to control all of those combined elents.
Instead of letting a single living ch bear all of the burden of managing several different energies, Ves split the load and relied on teamwork and a division of responsibilities to better harness all of these complicated interactions.
That made the Fey Project a substantially different living ch than anything else he had conceived of in the past.
In his eyes, the Fey Project was not strictly a ch anymore, but had shifted into another kind of existence.
The use of multiple living personalities and the high relying on teamwork and coordination reminded Ves of how starships were run. Many different ratings and officers utilized their own expertise to fulfill their own distinctive roles and manage their stations to the best of their abilities.
Alone, these spacers were only good at a few jobs at best, but together, they could turn any starship into an efficient and high-performing machine!
Although the Fey Project was clearly not a starship, Ves began to develop the notion that his work started to operate in the sa way as a larger vessel.
This caused Ves to entertain troubling thoughts for a while.
"Is this truly a ch?"
One of the fundantal principles of chs was that they were singular machines that should be controlled by one pilot at most.
While there were rare instances where parties designed chs that could be piloted by two or more specially trained individuals, they had fallen out of vogue centuries ago due to their heightened manpower requirents.
Ves clearly did not have to worry about this problem for the Fey Project, but substituting multiple ch pilots with multiple semi-autonomous fey was another matter!
"My ch will definitely beco a handful to any ch pilot that is 'lucky' enough to pilot it." He chuckled.
He did not worry too much about personality clashes and so on. He inherently designed the fey to maximize their cooperation with each other. Working together to produce greater synergies was their fundantal purpose.
What truly concerned him was whether the final product would beco stable enough to be usable in a practical setting.
Even now, Ves was not entirely certain whether he was making his most innovative standard ch to date or whether he was putting together a giant superbomb!
"1 have no other choice to see this through." He frowned. "No amount of baseless predictions or questionable simulations can give any certainty. Only the actual ch can determine once and for all whether my idea has any rit."
He was under a compulsion so see this abnormal project through. Ves could not stop himself even if he tried.
This was the scary part about entering into an inspired state. He had beco so driven in his current obsession that he needed to explore it to fullest if he wanted to gain true satisfaction!
Two days went by. It took that much ti for Ves to fabricate all of the parts of the revised Fey Project even when he took the additional delays into account.
This was remarkably faster than any of the expert chs he had fabricated before.
The Fey Project was not as packed with advanced technology as those high-ranking machines.
The Elite Edition of the Fey Project might be a lot more technologically endowed than the typical second-class ch, but it was still a standard ch in the end.
With a modern suite of Terran production machines at his disposal, Ves was able to churn out all of the parts a lot faster than before.
Even the transphasic ch parts hardly took any additional ti to make!
As Ves worked on components that integrated hyper materials that were related to one of the five elents, he steadily began to learn more about their uses and the way to handle them. Practical learning granted him plenty of new insights that were never prominent in theory or in his design process.
All of this helped to make up for the considerable gaps in his understanding of the five elents.
Ves knew he could make his life a lot easier if he was willing to call upon a little help.
For example, he could ask certain design spirits for tips. Gaia was an especially prominent entity. Her innate comprehension of wood and earth was so high that she could definitely boost these aspects of the five elents ch!
Ves and Vulcan already possessed a high degree of understanding and feel for tal, so they did not require any additional assistance in this regard.
Only the elents of water and fire were a bit more troubleso to resolve.
If he truly needed help in harnessing the power of fire, then he could call Venerable Isobel Kotin for help.
As for taming the power of water, Ves did not have any better choice than turning to the Phase King.
Neither of these choices sounded reliable to be honest.
Even if Ves was able to borrow a lot of deeper insights related to controlling the five elents, all of this knowledge was only relevant if his Fey Project manipulated them in isolation.
"That is not good enough."
What he truly needed was actual knowledge related to fusing several elents together. Its absence left a glaring hole in his five elents ch that Ves had to fill up one way or another.
He could choose from two different approaches to solve this massive problem.
First, he could rely on his own innate understanding and guesswork to design his living ch and living fey in such a way that would hopefully lead to a favorable outco.
Second, he could rely on a course of action that had always helped him a lot in these kinds of situations.
He could approach his mother for help.
She was by far the most powerful and knowledgeable qi cultivator in his orbit. Her understanding of cultivation science was incredibly deep. She could always make an insightful remark that instantly illuminated his mind and solved all kinds of questions that had been bothering him for a long ti.
Although the Oblivion Empress had never explicitly demonstrated any powers related to the fusion between different elents, Ves was sure that she was able to do so if she wanted!
Even if her ability to utilize multiple elents at once was not that great, a True God should still be able to juggle the five elents on a basic level at the very least!
Besides, his mother gave off the impression that her abilities were far more comprehensive than that.
There were tis where Ves would not have hesitated to use Veronica to ask for Cynthia's input on a matter.
However, he felt intensely repulsed by the idea as soon as he thought about it. The reaction from within was so jarring that it almost knocked him out of his inspired state!
"This is my work. The Fey Project I am working on is the result of my own efforts and understanding of the five elents. It might not be perfect, but it is an accurate reflection of my own creativity and abilities. Only I can be responsible for its success and failure."
Ves felt it would be a violation of his spirit as a ch designer to rely on his mother's help to smooth over any problems and increase the fusion of the five elents.
He would lose his incredibly high sense of ownership of his current work, making him feel as if he had realized his mother's interpretation of the five elents as opposed to his own vision!
Aside from that, Ves had developed a sour taste towards any idea that was related to relying for help on anything.
She had taught him a profound lesson that it was better to figure out stuff by himself than to rely on answers that he could not fully understand by himself.
If he had to make a choice, then Ves was far more inclined to put his trust in his own ssy solutions, as rough and flawed as it may be. He was willing to bet that his intuition, his inspiration, his brilliance and his prior accumulation were all sufficient enough to produce a successful result.
"Since that is the case, I should just let go of my worries and see whether I can make my vision co true."
He soon transitioned to the assembly phase, which had beco a lot more crucial than in previous cases.
Not only was Ves attempting to create five life forms in a single cohesive package, he also had to work carefully and prevent the different elents from generating any explosive interactions.
"Alexa."
"Yes, sir?"
"I need you to activate additional security precautions. This ch workshop is about to beco a lot more dangerous than before. At worst, this entire chamber might get engulfed in an explosion that is as powerful as a dozen heavy artillery shells exploding at once."
"That is impossible! There should be nothing volatile in the design of the Fey Project that could produce such an excessive blast. Even the power reactor should be relatively safe due to its extensive safeguards."
Ves smirked at his assistant. "Your understanding is too shallow. Trust , this is not a ch that you can put together without care. Just make sure that there is enough energy shielding and so on to contain any possible incidents."
"If you say so, sir."
Assembling a standard ch shouldn't be as difficult as putting together an expert ch.
That still remained true for his five elents ch, but Ves still did not dare to let down his guard as he calmly combined the parts together.
He decided to stick to familiar ground and assemble the main ch fra first.
This was the base of his altered Fey Project and harnessed its most dominant elent.
Though Ves desired to make a ch that could harness the power of the five elents in equal asure, that was not possible for this ch design.
He instead opted to make the tal elent stronger than anything else so that the main body could suppress the four fey if necessary.
This made the fey comparatively weaker in exerting the power of their separate elents, but it couldn't be helped.
As Ves began to fabricate the living fey one by one, he could feel as if he was bringing different elental seeds to life.
Fire. Water. Earth. Wood.
Each additional fey altered the flow of E energy radiation in the environnt.
The entire surroundings beca more and more charged, and when different elental energies started to get into close proximity to each other, the interior of the ch workshop started to show faint signs of instability!
Nonetheless, it was impossible for Ves to stop now that he had co so close to completing his latest experintal work!
He could already judge that his five elents ch would beco a masterwork as soon as it was complete, and its quality would not be low among its exalted kind!
This was by far the most innovative ch that he had designed in a long ti. Not even the Lionheart or the Blood Star Mark II could make him feel so excited as today!
However, the closer he ca to completing his five elents ch, the more he felt that everything was heading towards a certain explosion!
If the newly created living ch could not get its act together and imdiately work to control all of the volatile energies, it would rip itself apart due to an inability to control all of the conflicting forces!
"Damnit, I am counting on you all! Don't let down!"
Sweat dripped from his brow as he slowly put together the parts of the final living fey.
A part of him wanted to separate all of the fey from each other and the main body.
That would easily solve the imdiate risk and prevent an explosion from occurring.
However, doing so would cause the fey and the main body to beco a lot more distant from each other. They would no longer be able to produce strong synergies from fusing their elents in deep and profound ways.
This would defeat the purpose of designing this special ch!
This was why Ves deliberately kept all of the completed elents close to each other. Only this way would all of the living entities share close enough bonds with each other!
"Almost there."
Ves visibly slowed down as he carefully affixed the final plates and screwed in the final pieces.
He worked so slowly that the ch workshop had almost descended into silence. Even the smallest of noises beca amplified in this charged environnt.
Ves did not dare to work any faster. He felt as if he could instantly cause the situation to cascade out of control as long as he made the wrong move!
His mind, spirit and body tensed to the greatest possible extent as he felt as if he was fighting the hardest battle of his ch design career.
As he began to put the finishing touches on his work, the accumulated E energies began to produce stronger and stronger interactions with each other.
This was already a sign that a chain reaction was about to take place!
