The Mech Touch novel Chapter 4086

Chapter 4086 Stretchy Mech

Now that the Larkinson Clan secured the most essential requirement to design a powerful and versatile expert brawler mech, Gloriana could finally work on the C-Man Project in earnest!

Venerable Vincent initially reacted with confusion when Gloriana met with him to inform him of the latest developments.

The expert pilot scratched his head. "I'm happy that my mech gets to be stronger and better, but how exactly am I supposed to make use of this smart metal stuff?"

Gloriana already anticipated that her client wouldn't be able to understand the full benefits of utilizing TESMAS, so she prepared a simple presentation to convey the most important principles.

She summoned a projection that displayed one of her draft designs of the C-Man. She then activated a command that commanded the rough model of the C-Man to spar against a generic melee expert mech.

"Imagine this is your mech. As you can see, the expert swordsman mech is doing a good job preventing your C-Man from getting too close by leveraging the advantage of reach."

The simulated battle was nowhere as real as an actual duel between melee expert mechs. This was because the mechs and mech pilots were both capable of performing extraordinarily powerful feats with the help of their resonance abilities.

However, the depiction was sufficient for demonstration purposes. An actual battle between an expert brawler mech and an expert swordsman mech might fall into the same rhythm.

Vincent scoffed. "I can do much better than this. I won't allow this expert swordsman mech to keep my C-Man at bay."

"That will almost assuredly require you to take great risks and let your mech incur great damage in the process." Gloriana pointed out. "This is why we intend to incorporate Transphasic Energized Smart Metal Armor System to your expert mech. Let me show you a handful of the benefits you can obtain if you make use of TESMAS' capabilities."

The simulated battle changed with the C-Man suddenly activated a function that caused its exterior armor to glow and become more active. While the expert mech radiated a significant amount of heat due to this change, it also became a lot bolder!

Different from before, the C-Man no longer tried to evade or block the opposing machine's sharp sword strikes.

Instead, the C-Man threw all caution to the wind and went on the offensive!

When the expert swordsman mech attempted to take advantage of this change in strategy, its sword struck the surface of C-Man only to bounce away without inflicting any meaningful damage!

Due to this, the C-Man did not suffer any loss of strength and smoothly managed to get close enough to press and wrestle the expert swordsman mech into submission!

Gloriana grinned at the sight. "The primary advantage of TESMAS is that it can make your mech a lot more resilient against damage. It can resist attacks that are up to twelve times stronger than normal."

"Twelve times?!"

"In truth, this is not the most efficient approach to defeat the opposing expert mech. You should only energize the smart armor of your C-Man when you are under imminent attack. You will quickly drain energy reserves if you keep it fully energized for a longer period of time. I will try to mitigate this weakness by adding additional energy reserves to the design, but there are limits to how much I can improve this parameter."

"Oh."

Gloriana reset the ongoing animation and showed off a different simulation.

The starting condition was the same but the C-Man utilized a different approach to defeat its opponent.

Instead of charging the swordsman mech head-on which would expose it to a devastating attack, the C-Man remained just outside the opposing machine's range.

That didn't mean the C-Man was unable to threaten the expert swordsman mech at all. Instead, it began to use its limbs to launch unusual attacks.

In one instance, it launched a punch that magically stretched out the arm so that it was able to smack the expert swordsman mech from a longer range!

In another instance, it launched a kick that turned its leg into an elongated metal whip that struck a solid blow against the expert swordsman mech's side!

These were just the basic applications of TESMAS in a duel. Soon enough, the simulated C-Man mech began to employ more advanced applications of smart metal technology.

For example, the C-Man launched a punch that actually detached its fist and caused it to strike the expert swordsman mech as if it was a projectile!

What was even more astounding was that the detached fist suddenly melted and turned into an amorphous substance. The 'living metal' crawled across the enemy mech's surface and drilled through the weak points of the enemy machine.

As long as the detached nanomachines managed to get inside an enemy mech, it could inflict a considerable amount of internal damage!

Of course, Gloriana knew that it was not that simple to make this attack succeed. Every expert mech was protected by both a resonance shield and other powerful defenses. The C-Man had to weaken or exhaust the energy of an enemy machine beforehand before it could make this infiltration attack work.

Vincent already became impressed, though, and that was what mattered!

The simulated C-Man displayed additional tricks.

It approached and partially melted its body on an expert mech to bind it tighter than ever.
