The Mech Touch novel Chapter 3969

Chapter 3969 Phasewater Technology

Phasewater was an exotic material with remarkably special and powerful properties.

It was also versatile and malleable. When researchers combined phasewater with other exotics, they created experimental products that often came with strange and abnormal properties.

The vast majority of these combinations ended up in disappointment. The phasewater either didn't do anything important or reacted violently when coming into contact with incompatible materials.

Either way, getting phasewater to combine with other materials and get an amazing result out of it was difficult!

Just throwing random materials together with phasewater was not enough. The researchers needed to possess an extensive understanding of how phasewater behaved while also understanding the properties of other materials.

This was materials science on another level!

Fortunately, people like Ves who were interested in phasewater didn't have to reinvent the wheel.

The Big Two had entered the Red Ocean much sooner than everyone else. Not only did the MTA and CFA gain access to large quantities of phasewater a long time ago, their research teams had already conducted a lot of useful studies on this exotic!

Mech designers such as Ves could easily get their hands on basic and fundamental knowledge on phasewater.

However, if they wanted to do something useful with phasewater, learning the basics was far from sufficient!

What Ves needed was access to more advanced knowledge that organizations such as the MTA hoarded over the years.

Since the MTA took great effort to figure out ways to apply phasewater in different situations, it was only natural for the greedy organization to charge a high price for its precious knowledge and research data.

In fact, it was in the Association's best interest to allow many mech designers and researchers to tinker with phasewater. The more people who worked with it, the more applications humanity developed over time.

Whatever people managed to discover or invent, it would all end up in the hands of the MTA sooner or later! The mechers definitely earned the greatest profit out of this arrangement!

However, the time to spread phasewater-based technology on a widespread basis had not arrived as of yet. The Red Ocean had only opened up for a few years and the supply of phasewater was still too limited.

It was useless to give too many people and organizations access to phasewater technology. This was why the MTA put up a lot of barriers and charged extremely high prices to anyone that wanted access to its phasewater tech!

Ves knew that if he waited a decade or two, the MTA would probably lower the amount of MTA merits needed to exchange for knowledge on phasewater tech.

However, starting out late meant that Ves would always be far behind the pioneers who mastered this field earlier!

There was great value in being able to work with phasewater tech as soon as possible. With so many barriers to get started with phasewater tech, the few exceptional individuals who were able to meet all of the requirements at this early period would enjoy an unprecedented advantage!

Few mech designers and companies knew how to make products that took advantage of phasewater!

If the Larkinsons became one of the few who did, then there was no stopping their rise!

Even a rudimentary product that barely leveraged the special strengths of phasewater was already a hugely useful addition to the market!

There was so much hype surrounding phasewater that even a nutrient pack that was laced with this substance could become a bestseller!

It didn't matter if eating the nutrient packs subsequently tore the stomachs of their consumers. Just the bragging rights of eating phasewater was enough to make the fanatics excited!

The Larkinsons in the conference room all stared at the projected footage of a field test of a mech clad with an experimental armor system that was laced with phasewater.

Ves had no clue how a mech designer managed to integrate a water-based substance into a metallic alloy to such a degree that they got along with each other, but it was no doubt an impressive engineering feat!

What was even more significant about this advancement was that it was clearly an early generation product.

If the Mark I version of this phasewater armor system was so good, what about the Mark III version? What about the Mark VII version?

Ves anticipated much more drastic improvements in defensive specs once specialists performed follow-up research on this successful application!

"How does this even work?" Venerable Vincent Ricklin asked.

"In order to understand the answer, you need to know more about science than me." Ves replied. "No one in the clan can give you a clear answer. The only person who can come close is Miss Sara Voiken."

The female Journeyman Mech Designer did not expect to be mentioned during this meeting.

After all, even though her profession was honored in the Larkinson Clan, she was still a newcomer whose contributions were still limited.

There were many Larkinsons who played much greater roles in the rise of the clan.
