The Mech Touch novel Chapter 4069

Chapter 4069 For-Profit Education

Ves finally completed the Tutor Project!

After a relatively simple design journey that just so happened to have generated a lot of interest from the MTA, Ves finally wrapped up everything that was necessary to introduce a new paradigm of mech training onto the mech market.

No one aside from Ves and maybe a select group of Transhumanists had any idea of what the LMC was about to unleash to the public! _{freewebnovel.cσ๓}

Though the MSTS undoubtedly stole the show, a mech cadet wouldn't be able to gain as much value out of it without a training mech that played to the spiritual simulation program's strength.

The Tutor Project and the MSTS were literally made for each other. Both of them were already independently capable of providing a lot of helpful training and instruction to any mech cadet lucky enough to get in touch with them, but when used together they produced a form of synergy that would be certain to win over a lot of mech cadets!

He looked up at the first batch of training mechs fabricated by the LMC at the Hammerworks, the new manufacturing complex located in the heart of the Cat Nest on Davute VII.

The mechs possessed a substantial amount of armor but could also move quite deftly on land, in the air and in space. It was designed in a way that mech academies could conveniently slot in different models of semi-modular flight systems depending on the need. They could also leave them out entirely and deploy the new training mechs as landbound machines.

The visual design of the new training mech deviated from the more functional appearances of other training mechs. Ves had spent a decent amount of time on stamping his new design with his own artistic style.

While he was aware that imposing his own art on his works might cause it to look repugnant to a decent slice of the market, he didn't care about that. His machines stood out more as a result and possessed their own distinct identities.

His new training mechs already looked like they were more than ready to enter into scraps and earn new dents on the training fields. When paired with a glow that felt as if these mechs were eager to learn, they conveyed an impression that they were the ultimate training mechs!

"My Tutor Project, no, my War Squire is ready to be used."

He settled on naming his new training mech the War Squire to convey the right meaning and to shape people's attitudes towards the machine.

By calling his work the War Squire, he essentially boasted that his new training mech model was not only capable of training any mech cadet into a competent mech pilot, but that it could also prepare them for the toughest wars and the most brutal battlefields!

His expression worsened. "Now I need to make it sell."

This was not as easy as it sounded. Private individuals and groups almost never bought individual training mechs from the market.

The reason was because it was too expensive, time-consuming and troublesome to train mech pilots from scratch in-house. Every security company, mercenary outfit, mech military and other mech organizations found it much more convenient to hire new troops that had already graduated from the mech academies.

By the time the graduates who were all in their twenties entered the workforce, they had all gained the qualifications to pilot combat mechs. There was no way they wanted to go back to piloting neutered mechs with training wheels at this stage!

"As a result, the training mech market is almost entirely based on servicing big clients."

It was similar to the market for law enforcement mechs. Without a well-known brand or an established reputation in a specialized sector, it was extremely difficult to break into a market where trust and stability were highly valued!

Ves already went through a minor ordeal when he tried to market his new Pacifier model. The circumstances regarding his first true law enforcement mech were considerably more generous because he already partnered up with a reputable mech designer with a good foundation in the law enforcement sector.

Also, Ves was able to take advantage of the broad applications of the Pacifier model's glow by marketing it towards an entirely new audience.

A growing number of security companies and mercenary organizations had already discovered the many uses of Lufa's glow and eagerly ordered one batch after another of the increasingly hotter Pacifier mechs!

Ves smiled when he thought about how his Pacifier model finally became a bestseller. His smile faded a bit when he recognized the circumstances surrounding his new training mech model were much less favorable.

There was no way for him to push his completed work onto another segment of the market like before. The applications of the War Squire were solely limited to training mech cadets.

At most, recent graduates who required a little more preparation before stepping onto the battlefield might find it useful to pilot them, but most organizations preferred to put them into real mechs instead.

"I need to create demand for my new product." Ves recognized.

To do that, he had to prove that his new War Squire possessed substantially more value over training mechs at comparable price ranges.

Ves didn't make it easy for himself. He set out to design a premium training mech, and he succeeded in doing so. With a list price of 0.75 MTA credits per copy, the War Squire was cheaper than many combat mechs but considerably more expensive than the run-of-the-mill training mech models on the market.

All of this meant that the War Squire had to compete against excellent products made by mech companies that had built up a huge track record and trusted reputation over many years!

Each of their training mechs were designed by Master Mech Designers. With entire catalogs of products that were characterized by superior performance, superior optimization and incredibly low malfunction rates, it was hard for any new entrant in the market to dislodge the market leaders!

Normally, it was a pipe dream for a smaller and less established mech company like the LMC to vie for the attention of the elite mech academies that consisted of the main group of customers of premium training mechs.
