The Mech Touch novel Chapter 1888

Chapter 1888 First Batch

Over several practice sessions, Ves obtained a decent baseline on the basic performance of the Quint.

While he hadn't subjected the masterwork mech to any comprehensive exercises of mock battles, Ves was more than satisfied with what he learned.

The gems were all working as advertised, though only one of them was active at the same time.

The only exception was the Accumulation of Spirit, which rested silently in the cockpit of the base platform. Ves imagined it as a spider sitting in the center of a vast web. The gem's ultimate purpose went far beyond just a vessel for spiritual energy!

As Joshua continued to get accustomed to the Quint, his entire mood and demeanor lit up. He became increasingly more appreciative of the masterwork mech and cherished any opportunity to pilot it around.

More than once, Joshua requested for the mech to be brought up in space so he could put it through its paces in the environment it was designed to operate in! The Quint was primarily a spaceborn mech, so piloting it on the surface of a planet was a huge disservice to the mech!

"It's not time yet." Ves ruled out the possibility. "Moving the Quint onto a ship will expose it to a significant portion of the crew. For now, the mech stays here."

Aside from supervising the Quint, Ves also spent some time at the production sites tasked with producing the initial batch of Bright Warriors.

The gold-and-black coated mechs that rolled off the production line in the next few days were all distinct from the Quint.

Unlike the first copy of the Bright Warrior design, the subsequent copies already came in one one of the four configurations.

The decision to leave the modularity aspect of the Bright Warrior aside was a decision made out of necessity.

Currently, the LMC was being bottlenecked by the limited supply of Breyer alloy! The Battle Criers were only able to 'supply' a given amount of Breyer alloy every so often.

It was impossible to fabricate hundreds of Bright Warrior and provide each of them with their own sets of configurations!

To save both time and money, Ves instructed the LMC to pretend that the Bright Warrior was a product line that encompassed four different models.

The first batch should go to the Avatar mech pilots who were uniquely suited to adopt one of the roles of the Bright Warrior.

Over the course of ten days, Ves worked to replace the old mechs of the 1st Spaceborn Mech Company of the Avatars of Myth with forty brand-new gold label Bright Warriors!

While Ves didn't have the time to fabricate the mechs in person, he regularly visited the local manufacturing sites. He corrected the spiritual foundation of the mechs in the making to ensure they met the standard of a gold label mech!

This was fairly exhausting work, and drained a considerable amount of spiritual energy from him, but it ensured that the first adopters of the Bright Warrior piloted the best edition of his new design barring the Quint!

Ves cared a lot about the first batch. For the times to come, these mechs would serve as the standard of his fighting forces!

Was there enough Breyer alloy to kit out all forty mechs? Yes. He could even begin producing the next batch, but there wouldn't be much materials left after that!

"The production loop is pretty fast, but it's not fast enough to meet my needs." Ves rubbed his chin.

The Breyer alloy expended in the last week expended a huge chunk of the stockpile that the Scarlet Rose accumulated in the last three months.

Ves already maximized the speed of production. It couldn't go any faster because there appeared to be a set time when the cockpit reappeared in the escape tube. While this time varied a bit due to random factors, there was no point installing a second forging machine or furnace machine in Compartment G-13.

At the current pace, Ves would probably have to wait for a year or so to supply a thousand Bright Warriors to the Avatars and Sentinels!

This was a very long time, but Ves believed it was worthwhile to do so. In time, this decision would pay off as many of his mech pilots developed a closer bond with the Larkinson Clan and the Golden Cat.

What concerned Ves the most was that he might not have the time to supply his forces with so many mechs.

While his Avatars, Battle Criers and Sentinels already fielded serviceable mechs, the exceptional defense and superior performance of the Bright Warriors could make a huge difference on the battlefield!

Comprehensively upgrading his mech troops by adopting the Bright Warrior as the new standard would definitely deter a lot of potential threats!

Considering the hot water that Ves and Gloriana dove into recently, improving their security situation was an extremely high priority!

With a bright but turbulent future ahead of them, Gloriana went to work as well after she recovered from her marathon fabrication session.

Once she got over the excitement of becoming a masterwork mech designer, she began to handle their correspondence with the MTA as well as their relations with various parties, ranging from the Wodin Dynasty to the Ylvaine Protectorate.

Though Ves questioned whether Gloriana was the right person to be in charge of their public relations, she turned out to be adequate in this role. She was able to reign in most of her eccentric aspects and present a dignified demeanor to others.

Of course, she was still a Hexer, so she didn't exactly come across as normal.

Ves didn't mind this. In fact, he was banking on it! The more unhinged she came across, the better!

The two of them needed to explain how they managed to defy the odds and fabricated a masterwork mech. Presenting a crazy facade was something that Ves had found useful many times.
