The Mech Touch novel Chapter 3972

Chapter 3972 The Burden of AdvancedTechnology

As Ves sat back down, he felt that he had changed the course of the Larkinson Clan forever.

The decision to build a major compound and manufacturing complex in Davute locked the Larkinsons into a course that undoubtedly led to collisions against other people in the future.

Ves did not look forward to getting dragged in different fights. However, he was cognizant enough to recognize that most of those fights revolved around profit and power.

The more the Larkinson Clan fought against others, the more it profited from defeating others!

Of course, the premise to succeeding in all of this was that the Larkinsons became strong enough to get ahead in every conflict.

Ves along with many Larkinsons did not believe that their clan was weak. The last expedition only lasted for a couple of months, but it had successfully bonded the Larkinsons together while boosting their esteem!

In short, expanding the clan's presence in Davute was not a suicidal choice. The Larkinsons possessed sufficient wealth and business potential to find a place in the booming port system.

His other clansmen evidently agreed. After Ves announced his final decision, none of them voiced any strong objections. It appeared that those who preferred to settle in a more quiet star system were not adamantly opposed to the other choice.

This made it easier for Ves to feel as if he made the right decision.

The topics that followed after this issue were not as impactful or exciting. The conference room quickly calmed down as the leaders of the clan argued about other matters.

Once they settled the last few points on the agenda, the outline of the Larkinson Clan's course became clear.

Ves picked up the Larkinson Mandate and held it close to his body as he stood up once again.

After many hours of debate, the leaders and administrators of the Larkinson Clan had all grown tired.

"Fellow clansmen. Today, we have set our targets and clarified our future. We have chosen to take a bolder course, one that puts us right in the middle of the Davute System. Since we are about to establish a substantial presence in a port system, it is inevitable that our interests will be anchored in its rise and fall. With our choices, we have chosen to become active participants of the trends sweeping through Krakatoa and beyond. We shall either be able to rise faster than anyone else or get driven out just as quickly!"

"If we do get booted out, then good riddance! We don't need them anyway!" Venerable Vincent claimed!

That provoked laughter from other clansmen.

"It's better to try and fail than to not make the attempt at all! We didn't travel to the Red Ocean just to bury our heads in the sand!"

The mood among the Larkinson leaders was good. No one showed any regret for the course that their clan had charted.

Ves raised his hand. The noise quickly subsided as everyone directed their attention back to the patriarch of their clan.

"Since the founding of our clan, we have experienced many changes. Our growth can be described as rapid and meteoric. An entire generation hasn't even passed and we have already beat up several alien forces, stolen several tons of phasewater and earned the respect of the MTA! We don't need to match the same pace as now. As long as we continue to remain proactive, we will surely surpass our previous results!"

A strong wave of confidence and optimism sprung from the minds of all of the Larkinsons. They had all become inspired by his words and the earlier discussions.

While it remained to be seen whether the Larkinsons could back up their confidence with actual results, Ves was happy to see that his subordinates showed plenty of fighting spirit.

Having a bunch of eager and motivated minions at his beck and call was much more preferable to leading a bunch of timid cowards!

The only problem was that he feared that they were being way too optimistic about the future. There were many undercurrents in the Red Ocean and the clan could easily get affected by events beyond their control.

Once Ves wrapped up his speech, the first planning session had finally come to an end. Many Larkinsons left the conference room in order to get back to their own offices and work out all of the changes they needed to make.

Ves and his fellow mech designers were no exception. They all moved down to the design labs before entering a smaller meeting room in order to hold a more intimate discussion.

When everyone took their seats, Ves glanced at everyone's expressions.

"You have all heard what we have decided. Our clan will get involved in numerous different affairs in the future, so we must make sure that we are capable of helping our fellow Larkinsons succeed. Designing stronger mechs and offering more value to our customers are both necessary. The easiest way we can boost our mechs is to master at least one form of phasewater technology."

The more people familiarize themselves with phasewater technology, the more they realized their inadequacies. _{fɾēewebnσveℓ.com}
