The Mech Touch novel Chapter 2852

Chapter 2852 - Affinity with Life

The creation process of the Four Aspects of Lufa revealed a couple of highly impactful truths about Ves.

He spent hours mulling over all of the implications.

It seemed so obvious in hindsight.

According to his existing approach to mech design, he aspired to develop mechs that combined the best of man and machine. Ves believed with all his heart that increasing the synergy between the two was key to achieving a greater level of performance than what mechs could currently achieve!

In order to work towards this ambition, Ves invested his focus beyond the narrow confines of the machine.

Whereas most mech designers mainly paid attention to their mechs in isolation, Ves looked at them as one half of a greater system. Without the explicit inclusion of the mech pilot as a core component, a mech design would never be complete in his eyes!

Ves wondered whether this caused him to develop spiritual attributes that revolved around life over the course of his early career. The more he believed that mechs were alive, the more his spiritual development adjusted to his conviction!

It could also be the case that he already possessed these attributes from the start. The decisions he made in his first years as a mech designer unconsciously steered him into dedicating himself to a design philosophy that made good use of his spiritual inclinations.

"It doesn’t really matter whether the chicken or the egg came first."

What truly mattered was that his spiritual attributes and his choice of specialization both contributed to a rather special circ.u.mstance.

Despite paying no regard to biomechs throughout his entire career, it turned out that Ves may have a talent in working with them! Better yet, any biomech he might possibly design may very well exceed his work on classical mechs!

Ves could hardly believe that such a coincidence came into being, but the logic behind this theory was sound.

"Man and machine. Organic and inorganic."

What Ves understood as life was mainly centered around its spiritual aspects. To him, life did not necessarily have to come in an organic form.

Incorporeal entities like Qilanxo were very much alive to him despite the passing of her lizard body.

Yet that did not mean that the LRA’s biomech designers were all wrong. Each of them assumed that life was intricately tied to organic matter.

Strictly speaking, neither Ves nor people like Dr. Navarro held a monopoly on life and how it tied to mechs. They simply approached the same broad concepts from different directions.

"It’s due to this that my affinity with working with organic products is so great!"

He had been working under a handicap all this time. From the moment he began to infuse his mech designs with life, he started a game that was set to an astonishing difficulty level!

If not for the aptitude he inherited from his mother, he should have never been able to make any of his mechs alive!

Yet because he was able to overcome this initial hurdle with unnatural ease, Ves never asked himself whether classical mechs were the best choice for his specialty.

They were all he knew and all he became exposed to. Biomechs were too distant for him. He never encountered a suitable opportunity to dabble with biomechs for much of his career until now.

Though he still hadn’t touched a biomech, his forays into making organic totems already provided him with a preview of what might come.

If Ves assumed that the amplification on organic totems remained constant on biomechs, then Ves might possibly be able to design mechs that were at least thrice as strong in the spiritual department!

In fact, the Four Living Aspects of Lufa were supposed to be very crude products. If Ves designed a proper biomech, then the amplification factor could easily reach ten or more!

How much more unbearable would it be to remain in the presence of an organic version of the Ferocious Piranha? How many more battles would the Fridayman lose if Ves designed an organic variant of the Valkyrie Redeemer?

If Ves began to publish biomech designs based on new and existing mech concepts, the entire galactic rim might break! He would definitely attract a dangerous amount of attention from the MTA if it learned about the abnormally high effectiveness of his organic products!

"Biomechs aren’t even the most suitable form of mechs to me! There is another form that resonates even greater with my inclinations!"

That was cyborg mechs. With a domain that revolved around both life and mechs, the most appropriate form of machine was one that incorporated both organic and inorganic parts!

Mechanical components appealed to his traditional impression on mechs. Organic components granted full play to his life orientation!

Cyborg mechs became more and more compelling to him. He felt an increasing attraction to them. Unlike other forms, cyborg mech straddled the line that separated both worlds.

While it was much more difficult to work with a mech that was neither purely metallic nor purely organic, the potential promise it conveyed to him caused his imagination to go wild!

Dozens of innovative and powerful cyborg mech ideas flowed through his mind. From a small but surprisingly untouchable stealth mech to a large and solid heavy knight, Ves became inundated with fantastic designs that he may be capable of realizing!

For some reason, his thoughts strayed back to his Devil Tiger design.

"Compared to my other mechs, it embodies the concept of a living mech to a much greater degree."
