《Into The Portal: Monster Invasion》316- First Prototype
Advertisement
Miles looked at the car in the garage. It looked slender and fierce, but he was more interested in the engine inside.
“Is this?” Miles couldn't help but ask when he opened the engine hood. Inside was a similar structure he saw in blueprints shared by Evelyn the day she debuted the mechs. The energy balancer, as Miles named it, would allow different types of alloys to work in tandem.
“Mother’s newest invention.” Merlin smiled proudly. “This model is not drivable yet, as the key piece, energy equalizer, is not adjusted to any energy type.” Merlin shook his head.
“The piece cannot handle even the mildest elemental energy for more than ten minutes.”
“Oh, it is perfect,” Miles said with a smile.
“Hmm? What do you mean?” Merlin asked with surprise.
“It means, beside me, no one in Unity can use this thing.” Miles laughed heartily.
“Right, you don’t have any attribute.” Merlin looked at Miles as it dawned on him. “This is a machine created especially for you!”
Miles smiled and jumped into the driver's seat. Merlin sat on the passenger seat and watched as Miles got familiar with the machine.
“Just like in the blueprint.” Miles looked at the steering wheel and felt the psychic energy from it. “Not a fully immersive interface yet. It is supported by manual work and instant decisions through the psychic core. It requires a lot of practice.
How do I start it?” Miles looked at the display screens in front of him, but couldn’t see any key socket or identifier. Merlin let Miles discover it slowly. He recognized the look in Miles’s eyes, as he had seen similar looks in their mother’s eyes too many times.
“Oh, right. Psychic element. Mind wave imprint.” Miles shook his head and dripped a drop of his blood to the steering wheel. When blood seeped in, it connected with Miles's brain. Miles felt the connection and gave the order to start, but the car didn’t move.

“No energy, huh?” Miles shook his head, gathered energy into his hand, and directed it to the display frame in the middle. The fuel gauge started to light up, and energy was stored inside the reservoir. It wasn’t that complicated to build a container to store energy. The armors Miles had created had similar mechanisms. Evelyn could build even higher-tier crafts.
After energy was stored, Miles willed once again, and the machine came to life. “Welcome, driver. Please state your name.”
“Is it AI?” Miles turned to look at Merlin.
“Nah, only a supportive system.” Merlin shook his head.
“Coin, connect to the system, and delete the support system. Learn the ins and outs of its mechanism and help me throughout the drive.” Miles said.
“Got it.” Coin reported and floated out from Miles's arm to the socket reserved for AI wristwatches. “Done.” Coin stated after a few minutes.
“The machine is built with 4 different cores. Speed element at the engine, gravity element at the body, can be adjusted to prevent the car from capsizing. The road-holding is great. There are also fire elemental cores at the exhausts, giving an instant boost.” Coin summarized the cores.
“Your energy filled the tank, and it is running throughout the machine through the energy equalizer. We are ready to go.”
At this time Evelyn with Malcolm and Mercer rushed out the door and looked at Miles with horror. “Merlin, what the hell are you doing? You know this prototype is unsafe!”
Merlin and Miles left the vehicle. “Mother, you are forgetting that Miles has no attribute at all,” Merlin said with a smile.
“How did I forget this!” Evelyn looked at Miles with shining eyes and walked towards him with zeal.” Get in the car. We are going for a test drive.”

“What do you mean you forgot it? Hasn’t this car been built for me?” Miles asked in surprise.
“Not really. Like I said. This is just a prototype build for testing. I never thought any person would be able to drive it.” Evelyn said.
Miles shook his head and sat in the driver's seat. Merlin reluctantly stood behind while Miles started the car once again. This time, he willed it and the car started to move. The reason why there was still a steering wheel and pedals was because of muscle memory. With the assistance of a psychic interface, the driver could use the wheel and pedal in emergencies thanks to muscle memory. After all, although the speed of thought was faster than muscle memory, in a situation of an accident, the brain could get caught into panic, while the only thing saving the driver would be muscle memory.
Miles slowly left the garage with the interface and kept his hands and legs on the wheel and pedals. It was easier than he thought, but he was still using only one of them and not the two at the same time. It would go wild if he were to try to control the vehicle with both systems.
“Looking good. Try to speed up.” Evelyn said. Miles increased the speed of the vehicle and started to circle around the mansion. The area was vast, so he could still drive with ease. When he got used to the psychic frame, he tried to use both systems at the same time.
“My brain is too fast compared to my body. I can’t match their speed.” Miles said.
“Try to move instinctively. Don’t think when you use your muscles.” Evelyn commented. It was easier said than done though. Miles started to drive and speed up. In ten minutes he moved energy to the speed elemental core. As soon as energy covered the engine, the vehicle got a lot faster. The car was built with great speed anyway, but when the core was used, its maximum speed was at least twice.
“It is not safe to drive in the mansion now. Let’s test it outside later.” Evelyn said.
“Hmm.” Miles slowed the vehicle and parked it in the garage. “What are you going to do with this prototype?”
“Recycle it,” Evelyn said while looking at the data she collected.
“Can I have it instead?” Miles said.
“Sure, but I have to make sure it is safe. After all, it is just a prototype.” Evelyn answered.
“Great!”
