The Mech Touch novel Chapter 3761

Chapter 3761 - Deriving Lessons

As much as Ves did not think highly of the Monster Slayer's potential to become a living mech, he did not rule out the possibility entirely.

There were always exceptions. Humanity's mech industry was incredibly vast and diverse.

When Ves visited the Masterwork Gallery in Chance Bay, he personally confirmed that every exhibit possessed varying degrees of X-Factor.

This was something inherent to them due to how much emotion and effort their makers had put into their design and fabrication. The mech designers literally imbued their work with a portion of themselves. This was probably the basis for making their machines alive, if only faintly. _{freewebnσvel.cøm}

The mechs probably wouldn't experience any further growth unless they became affected by exceptional circumstances.

The most obvious way for mechs to become more alive was to be used by a mech pilot that was breaking through!

This was why the mechs that continually accompanied a legendary mech pilot throughout their careers were so much more impressive than an ordinary machine. They had always retained and accumulated a portion of the excess energies released by their pilots.

Suffice to say, this process was so rare and difficult to accomplish that it was no surprise that the mech industry barely possessed a clue about this process.

Even if a mech designer was aware of what was happening, the money, resources and effort required to upgrade a mech to better standards was too great.

It was much more convenient to assign newer and more powerful mechs to the pilots that had just broken through!

This was especially the case when an expert candidate advanced to expert pilot. No one wanted to go through all of the trouble of upgrading a standard mech to an expert mech.

The evolution of the Shield of Samar was the exception rather than the rule!

The treatment that Venerable Jannzi received was too extravagant. An ordinary organization would never think about transforming a third-class standard mech into a second-class expert mech!

The rewards of going through all of this trouble also weren't as obvious for mechs designed by people other than himself. The only reason to go through with an upgrade was if the mech pilot strongly insisted on sticking with the same battle partner.

"Other mech designers have to go through so much effort while I don't need to do anything special." Ves smirked.

What Ves was trying to do with his mech designs was nothing more than make this rare and mystical process more accessible to the mech market.

His work enabled someone without the potential to become extraordinary to pilot a living mech right out of the gate.

Even someone devoid of greater talent such as Melkor would be able to pilot an impressive third-order living mech as long as he continued to partner with his new Gold Beacon!

Ves was thankful to Ketis for giving him a greater understanding of where he stood in the mech industry. It was difficult for him to recognize his own advantages when he was the only one to design proper living mechs.

While Gloriana was able to make her mechs a little more alive, she didn't count because she had access to a minute portion of his domain.

Someone like Ketis who learned his basic methods and theories but did not have the foundation to match his efforts was a true representation of what others could accomplish.

In other words, people like Juliet, Jovy, Professor Benedict and Master Willix all had the ability to design first-order living mechs.

Still, Ves did not think about teaching them because it did not make a difference most of the time. His peers and betters all possessed their own specialties.

In addition, it took a lot of changes to make it viable to produce living mechs. The production process needed to be adjusted as well and it was much harder to make mechs produced through materialization alive.

Ves faintly shook his head. "There is little point to teaching others if their work doesn't synergize with living mechs."

Ketis was one of the rare mech designers who took advantage of this phenomenon to enhance her own design applications. She wouldn't have been able to turn the Monster Slayer into a Chiron-like training mech without giving her work the necessary foundation!

This wasn't a one-sided relationship. Just as Ketis took inspiration from living mechs, Ves was able to derive lessons from her own work!

The way she imprinted her Monster Slayer with a sword style that was meant to be passed on to its pilots was different from his usual methods.

Although he wasn't able to replicate this process immediately, he was confident that he could slowly develop a similar application as long as he invested time in this research project.

"It's not much use, though." Ves frowned.

The reason why this method worked for Ketis was because she could utilize her impressive swordsmanship as her database.

As for Ves, how the hell was he supposed to know how to fight with a sword? He was a mech designer, not a swordmaster! Whatever skills he could pass on to his mechs would probably distract his customers more than anything!

"I am curious to see how quickly the Monster Slayer will catch on in the mech market." Gloriana said. "Many of the benefits of your work are immediately accessible, but this swordsmanship training capability sounds vague. Will it work for any mech pilot?" ?ll ? ???? Fu??.c?m
