The Mech Touch novel Chapter 3932

Chapter 3932 Tier Comparisons

After a long day of conducting experiments and analyzing the huge trove of data they provided, both Ves and Master Dervidian gained a much more comprehensive understanding of the properties of the transcendence glow.

"There is so much empirical data! This is more than I could have dreamed of! The high-quality test subjects have also made a huge difference!"

With such favorable circumstances, even a troglodyte would be able to learn a lot of lessons!

As for Ves, his gains were massive! He not only confirmed many theories and came up with a couple of new ones, but also developed several promising ideas to increase the transcendence glow's success rate while reducing its risk factor.

He had a feeling that he had achieved years worth of research progress in just a single day!

Though he still harbored mixed feelings about Master Dervidian and his controversial views, he could not deny that the superluminal drive specialist was a stellar researcher.

The accomplished mech designer not only had access to superior research facilities, but also possessed the intelligence and imagination to make the most of his favorable circumstances.

If Master Dervidian failed to complete the leap towards Star Designer in his life, then Ves felt it was wholly undeserved!

"This guy truly deserves all of the resources and privileges he has earned!"

Though Ves grew more and more envious at Master Dervidian's superior research conditions, he did not harbor any desire to grow closer to the MTA.

The Association was way more dangerous and complicated than he thought. He already learned to be on guard in the presence of the mechers, but the events he witnessed today strengthened his vigilance towards the powerful organization.

Its mech designers were a lot less innocent than he thought!

The situation was fine as long as Ves was on good terms with them, but how long would this remain the case?

If Ves suddenly fell out of favor with a powerful mech designer, he did not think his treatment would be any better than the hundreds of Terrans and Rubarthan test subjects that had lost their lives today!

He couldn't wait to get back to his fleet and distance himself from the Paracelsus Optimus!

Before the MTA let him go, he first had to conclude his private agreement with the Transhumanist Faction which Master Dervidian represented.

The Master Mech Designer led Ves back to the secure meeting compartment where they could finally conclude this extensive session.

"Well. The results we have gained today no longer leave any doubts to your claims." Master Dervidian said with a smile. "Compared to all of the other breakthrough solutions that I have had the pleasure of witnessing, I can tell you now that none of them ever come close to your Aspect of Transcendence. Not only does your invention produce an immediate increase in the chances of breakthroughs, but the risks and dangers are also much more controllable than those other extreme methods."

The MTA's research teams never gave up researching ways to allow mech pilots to advance at greater rates than normal.

Ves even guessed that the mechers already succeeded in developing a couple of methods, but never spread them out because they were too costly or produced too many side-effects.

However, if a core figure of the Transhumanist Faction talked like this, then Ves might have overestimated their research prowess!

All of this gave Ves greater assurances that he could gain more benefits from the other party. After all, the transcendence glow was just the beginning. As long as he continued to work on it while also progressing his design philosophy, it was not impossible to overturn the entire landscape of the mech community one day!

"It is a pity that you are still far from becoming a Master Mech Designer." Dervidian sighed in regret. "There is so much we can discuss and cooperate on if you have realized your design philosophy, but since that is not the case, we will have to defer those crucial talks in the far future. Hm, on second thought, it is not bad to take our time on this matter. Your invention is still too dangerous and immature to propagate it to the public."

Ves nodded in agreement. "I don't want to be responsible for unleashing a weapon that might be used to kill countless people. I'm rather relieved that you have managed to discover numerous solutions that can block the lethality of transcendence glow."

This was one of the bigger surprises of today. Master Dervidian conducted a series of experiments where he brought out many different kinds of protective technology.

The goal was to see whether there were any non-glow based methods to guard humans against the dangerous consequences of the transcendence glow.

While the protection generated from conventional human technology proved to be ineffective, certain pieces of alien technology produced different results!

For example, an energy shield generated by an extinct alien race from the Red Ocean was surprisingly able to completely block out much of the influence from the Aspect of Transcendence!

Although it did not prove to be totally effective, this was nonetheless a sign that certain aliens must have encountered similar phenomena in the past.

In fact, Master Dervidian even tested an experimental shielding system that was also effective at weakening glows.

The Master didn't say much about this system other than that it was in development to counter another possible threat.

The existence of all of these potential solutions caused Ves to become a lot more respectful of humanity's ability to harness technology to its advantage.

Though Ves found it a shame that his mechs might not be able to unscrupulously abuse all of his enemies by taking advantage of suppressive glows, he knew that it was for the better.

As Master Dervidian had mentioned earlier, if Ves was able to develop a new weapon system, then so could humanity's enemies!

"Let us proceed with crafting our agreement. Please inspect this draft contract and tell me your thoughts."

A projection appeared in front of Ves that displayed a long and extensive legal document.

Its format and contents looked similar to the contract that he had already signed with the Mech Trade Association earlier.

The difference this time was that Ves was cooperating with the MTA Transhumanist Faction this time.

Before he dived in the details, Ves asked an important question.
