The Mech Touch novel Chapter 2788

Chapter 2788 - Interesting Matchups

[Ves Larkinson has won the first match of the design duel!]

The first match ended in a clear victory for Ves. Captain Alazar Ipsich rode the emotions induced by his Bright Warrior and thrashed the Epsilon Mosar piloted by Kelly Gidon.

Even though the two mech pilots came from different backgrounds and pursued different careers, their skill in battle was roughly even.

The variables that decided the match came down to the qualities of the mechs and how well they cooperated with their pilots.

The strength of the mechs were roughly even. They had to be in order to make the match fair. What differed was where they focused their strengths, which in turn provided different possibilities to their mech pilots.

It was still a bit of a gamble to determine whether the mech pilots were able to utilize the strengths of their mechs to their best effect.

This was an area that Ves focused on a lot in his work. His ongoing partnership with Gloriana had steered him into becoming even more s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e towards increasing the fit between mech and mech pilot.

Yet the problem of doing so in this design duel was that both participants went in blind during the first phase of the design duel!

Neither of them knew exactly who would enter the c.o.c.kpit, so they had to keep their dueling mechs open to many different personalities and fighting styles. This entailed making lots of unpalatable compromises.

Yet Ves had an advantage in this aspect. The malleability of a mech’s spiritual foundation granted him a unique advantage.

It was a realization that he had always been aware of before but never utilized to the greatest degree.

He was able to alter a mech while it was in the middle of a fight!

It sounded so obvious to him, but that was exactly why he overlooked its value!

Any other mech designer would have become green with envy if they learned what Ves was capable of doing. Other mech designers such as Dr. Navarro, Gloriana and Ketis had no choice but to sit around and do nothing while their products were put into action, whether on the battlefield or in the mech arena.

In fact, Ves didn’t have to intervene in person just then. He could have programmed an automatic routine that would have released the right design spirit in the right situation. It was just that he lacked the time to set it up and wanted to exert more control of the process.

What many people didn’t realize was that the Bright Warrior responsible for delivering Ves his first win had a lot more under the hood than everyone thought!

The Bright Warrior didn’t just have two design spirits. It actually held five in total!

This was one of the new concepts that he had come up with. While it was not to allow multiple design spirits to inhabit a single mech design all the time, what if Ves set up a rotation?

This could be a game changer!

Of course, this did not work for every mech. The Valkyrie Redeemer for example was so female-centric that it would definitely reject a macho design spirit like Bravo. It might tolerate a female design spirit like Qilanxo, but only reluctantly.

This was where a relatively open mech design like the Bright Warrior came in. Due to its overall design direction, the mech was inclusive. This turned it into a universal platform that could play host to many different design spirits as long as they weren’t too extreme.

This enabled him to implement his newly-invented carousel and spin it around whenever he judged the mech was better served with a different design spirit in a given situation!

Although the alternate design spirits weren’t able to exert that much influence through a mech that was not designed to take advantage of their unique traits, the base effect of their glows was already enough to change the situation!

This was why Gloriana began to look at the Bright Warrior design in a new light. "This has a lot of potential. If we came up with a mech that is specifically designed to take advantage of this possibility, then..."

Her body shook with excitement. She ravenously turned to Ves and grabbed him by the arms!

"THIS IS PERFECT FOR VENERABLE JOSHUA! HE’S SUCH A VERSATILE MECH PILOT THAT HIS EXPERT MECH HAS TO BE VERSATILE IN ALL ASPECTS AS WELL! YOU’RE GOING TO TAKE CARE OF THIS, WON’T YOU?!"

"Yes, yes, yes, whatever you say, honey!"

She was probably revising the outline and mech concept for Joshua’s expert mech design!

Ves could only shake his head at her single-minded behavior.

Meanwhile, the public could barely process how the first match had ended.

The Bright Warrior that was slowly flying off the stage under its own power had already switched back to the Golden Cat. However, the memory of the mech displaying unrelenting aggression just a moment ago was still seared in everyone’s mind! _{freewёbn૦νeɭ.com}
