The Mech Touch novel Chapter 3983

Chapter 3983 Roles Reversed

Ves eventually approved Janassa and Tifi's proposals despite his many doubts on their commercial viability.

The Design Department should not limit itself to developing humanoid mechs. Janassa and Tifi were the closest thing to bestial mech designers that the Larkinson Clan had at its disposal, so Ves was keen for them to develop this aspect further.

Most mechs utilized by people came in the form of humanoid mechs, but that did not mean that bestial mechs had no value. They were just a bit harder for mech pilots to master and weren't as versatile in different battle situations.

However, as long as they fought under ideal conditions, they could easily burst more power than humanoid mechs!

Ves felt that his clan should have at least one mech legion that fielded bestial mechs. How could the clan of the Golden Cat live up to its symbolism if it didn't field a single feline mech model?

He felt it was only right for his clan to deploy thousands of ferocious tiger mechs on the battlefield in the future!

"Wait a minute. Why do I feel like I have to make this happen at all costs?"

His eyes narrowed in suspicion. Was he being influenced by Goldie? Had he become irrationally obsessed about developing tiger mechs just so that his clan could overwhelm its enemies by unleashing a sea of cat-like mechs?

"Well, it's fine." Ves shrugged.

He felt that it wasn't so bad to raise a troop centered around tiger mechs in the future.

After he obtained enough information about Janassa and Tifi's plans, he turned to the final pair of Journeymen in the meeting room.

"Sara, Dulo, do you plan to work on this time?"

"I already have a busy schedule." Sara Voiken spoke up. "My expertise is needed in many different mech design projects, most notably the expert mech design projects. On top of that, I think it is extremely important for me to be extensively involved in the aforementioned Mauler Project. Since the heavy tiger mech is meant to withstand a lot of damage, I should make sure its armor system can handle all of the physical stresses of combat. This doesn't leave me with time to pursue any other projects."

Ves frowned a bit. He was a little disappointed. Sara Voiken would definitely be able to design a decent space knight if she wanted to. However, she was in the same position as him. Her specialty was just too useful to set aside. Every project could benefit from her specialty.

He increased his resolve to hire another defense-oriented Journeyman in the next recruitment wave. The Design Department shouldn't have to be dependent on just a single key mech designer to service all of the defense requirements of its mech design projects!

"I understand." He said. "The current wave of design projects are too important to us. Whether it is an expert mech such as the C-Man Project or a commercial mech with amazing sales potential such as my Tutor Project, it is extremely important to ensure that their defensive parameters do not fall behind. The more durable they become, the more we are able to persuade our customers to entrust the lives of their mech pilots to our dependable products."

"Those are my thoughts as well." Sara Voiken nodded.

"I don't want your ability to develop your own mechs to grow rusty, though. I hope you will be able to come up with a good mech concept for the next design round."

"It will depend on how busy I become." Sara Voiken stated. "If there are too many expert mech design projects, I will end up in the same position as now. Don't get me wrong, sir. I enjoy working with expert mechs. They are much more powerful than the machines that I am accustomed to working with. It is a gift for me to be able to make so many contributions to high-end mech designs."

"That is understandable, but don't forget that standard mechs are the root of our profession. The majority of our customers and clients are still regular mech pilots. They need the protection that only mech designers can provide to them. In time, our Design Department will welcome more defensive specialists, so you won't be as short on time in the future."

Sara Voiken didn't have any comments regarding this. The Larkinson Clan was too big for only a single defense-oriented mech designer. She possessed enough confidence in her abilities and did not fear additional competition.

In fact, having a like-minded colleague in the Larkinson Clan would probably be helpful for her progression as she could hold frequent exchanges with her fellow defensive specialists!

"What about you, Dulo? Your schedule is not as busy as none of the mech design projects that we have discussed so far involve spear weapons."

"That is correct, sir. I have been working on several potential ideas. It is not that difficult to come up with decent mechs that perform adequately in different scenarios, but that is not enough to develop a product that can generate sufficient revenue. After I attempted to devise a spearman mech that can be of much greater value by combining it with one of your glows, I think I have ended up with a good idea."
