The Mech Touch novel Chapter 3976

Chapter 3976 Fifth Round of Mech Design Projects

The design of the Larkinson Clan's expert mechs was a fantastic occasion for every participating mech designer to explore the upper limits of their design capabilities.

Since they were usually designed by Seniors and Masters, it was not uncommon for expert mechs to serve as testbeds for their latest technological innovations.

While the mech designers of the Larkinson Clan were merely Journeymen, each of them had already developed different solutions that they would love to apply to a mech with a high performance limit.

Unfortunately, only a limited number of mech designers could make meaningful contributions to a mech design at a time.

The generally accepted limit was 5 contributors. Any more than that and there would be too many cooks in the kitchen. The direction and vision of a mech design would become completely muddled, leading to a phenomenon where too much potential was being wasted.

"Aside from myself, Gloriana, Sara, Tifi will be working on the C-Man Project." Ves announced. "Sara, Tifi, the two of you will be the main contributors to this expert brawler mech design. Are you confident enough to take on this challenge?"

Sara nodded. She already had prior experience with working on a Larkinson expert mech, so this was not a completely new experience for her. The only issue was that the C-Man Project needed to rely much more heavily on its armor system than the Minerva.

"I can do it, but I will probably be stretched for time." She said.

"We will try our best to cover the other aspects of the mech design." Ves promised.

Aside from Ves, Sara Voiken was probably the most universally desirable Journeyman in the design department. Her defensive specialization meant that she was able to increase the durability of every single mech design that passed through her hands.

No matter whether a project centered around a light mech with a flimsy exterior or a heavy mech that was clad with thick armor plating, Sara could apply many different solutions to increase their resilience!

The difference she could make was massive. Fewer mechs would get downed as they were able to resist damage that would have otherwise been fatal. Their mech pilots had a much higher chance of surviving a battle as well as their cockpits were better protected against breaches.

As far as Ves was concerned, Sara Voiken's participation in expert mech design projects was mandatory. No mechs were more important than the expert mechs that empowered and protected the clan's precious expert pilots.

The longer they remained on the battlefield, the more they could tilt a fight in their favor. Being able to outlast enemy expert mechs was already an incomparable advantage!

It was a pity that there was only one defensive specialist in the Design Department. Ves briefly considered whether he should attempt to hire another defensive specialist.

Sara's specialty was mainly focused around empowering the physical armor of her mech designs. Her solutions mainly dealt with negating kinetic impacts, but she possessed a big gap when it came to defending against energy damage.

If Ves wanted to round out the Design Department further, he should ideally be on the lookout for a defensive specialist that specialized in energy shielding systems or energy damage mitigation.

As long as Sara and this new defensive specialist combined forces, they could easily design defensive mechs that could endure all kinds of damage!

However, this was not an option for this design round. Even if Ves found a suitable Journeyman right away, it would take months for the newcomer to integrate into the clan.

Before the new mech designer completed this essential requirement, there was no way that Ves would hand over the important responsibility of contributing to the design of one of the Larkinson Clan's most important strategic assets!

While Ves was thinking, Gloriana, Sara and Tifi already started to voice their thoughts on how to configure the C-Man Project.

"I have spoken to Venerable Vincent several times." Gloriana said. "He doesn't want to stick to the original configuration of his B-Man anymore. He wants to pilot a pure melee mech that puts all of its strength into punching, grappling and kicking. We will satisfy his requirements, but I am under no illusion that it will be easy."

"A mech that strikes with its entire body will have to endure a lot of physical stresses." Sara observed. "What is worse is that the forces that will be acting on the mech can come from many different angles. I will need to design a fortified external and internal structure that can keep the mech intact and prevent its more vulnerable components from rattling loose."

"I will assist you as best as possible." Gloriana said before turning to another Journeyman. "Tifi, even though armor plays a major role to the C-Man Project, it is first and foremost an offensive mech. We need to rely on you to impart a mechanical system that can allow our upcoming expert brawler mech to attack with great force. Can you do this at the expert mech level?"

Tifi Coslone frowned. This was the first time she would play a major role in the design of an expert mech, so she did not have complete confidence in her ability to do the C-Man Project justice.

"I am not accustomed to contributing to a mech design with a higher budget and higher performance targets. I think I will have to spend more time on this in order to try out my more radical design solutions, but I should be able to manage. I will also have to work with Vincent to determine his personal fighting style and best reflect his physique on the C-Man Project."

Ves smiled. The three women had solid plans in mind despite working on a brawler mech type for the first time in their careers.

"What do you think about the 'boxing gloves' that will be paired with the C-Man Project?" He asked.

Everyone immediately knew what she was referring to. Ves even palmed his face. _{ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom}
