Chapter 4104 Transphasic Everything
The fact that Abasis Armor was actually an armor system developed with ace mechs in mind explained so much.
It explained why it took more than 10 kilograms of phasewater to equip a single high-ranking mech with this transphasic armor system.
It explained why its various properties were so strong and useful.
It also explained why it came paired with a so-called Transphasic Attack System that allowed ace pilots to generate strange attacks and effects that were usually associated with the phase whale race!
The incredible cost and even more incredible capabilities of Abasis Armor were already out of the scope of ordinary expert mechs.
In fact, even high-tier expert mechs weren't supposed to have anything to do Abasis Armor either!
The foremost reason why the Mars Project came into contact with it anyway was because the Cross Clan was willing to squander an excessive amount of resources to develop the strongest possible expert mech!
Professor Benedict could talk about Abasis Armor for days. Although he was not specialized in transphasic products, he had already started to study them. It also wasn't necessary for him to understand the ins and outs of Abasis Armor in order to comprehend its uses and its estimated performance parameters.
However, he knew that Patriarch Reginald would quickly grow bored if his lecture became too technical, so the Senior Mech Designer finally moved on from talking about Abasis Armor.
"While Abasis Armor plays a large role in your future expert mech, it is not the only part that is new. Let me tell you about the changes to the internals."
Professor Benedict quickly skimmed over the new choices he had made for the power reactor, the mech engine and numerous other internal systems.
Each of them were considerably more powerful than his previous selection. They weren't necessarily more exciting, though. Aside from producing higher outputs, they did not come with too many extra bells and whistles.
"It may not seem much different from before, but the changes are all substantial and necessary." Benedict explained. "All of these essential systems are considerably more powerful in order to support the operation of many other upgraded systems. The latter is where you will truly feel the differences."
"So there is nothing special about the power reactor and the mech engine other than producing more power?"
"Not exactly. They are also much more robust and stable than normal. You can fully be assured of throwing your Mars Project into the thick of battle and not worry about your internals malfunctioning just because your expert mech suffered a heavy blow."
"I see. That is good."
"The flight system is a little more special, though." Reginald spoke as he manipulated the projection to show a more detailed view of the rear of the Mars Project. "This is because the Pulsvar V-1 is a transphasic flight system. In its base state, the Pulsvar V-1 already performs better than the previous flight system intended for your Mars Project. The product excels at producing a high amount of forward acceleration, but its ability to produce lateral acceleration is also good, allowing your expert mech to dodge and weave considerably more effectively than other expert medium mechs."
"What is the benefit of making it transphasic?" Patriarch Reginald curiously asked.
"Ah, that is what makes this product more special. You see, the Godwin Institution actually developed the Pulsvar V-1 by reverse engineering a relatively high-end alien flight system developed by the puelmer race. By copying the materials and the mechanisms of the captured alien device, the researchers and developers of the Godwin Institution have succeeded in developing a smaller flight system that is specifically adapted for expert mechs."
"I… see."
"Of course, the developers also added plenty of human ingenuity to the flight system in order to make it competitive. All of these efforts have resulted in a flight system that possesses a few more powerful features. Two of them are particularly relevant to you. First, the Pulsvar V-1 comes equipped with a small but powerful spatial shield."
Patriarch Reginald looked confused. "What does that mean?"
"That means that the flight system is covered by an energy shield that behaves like an invisible wall in space. Any attacks aimed at the flight system will be blocked just before they strike this weak point. While I cannot estimate how much damage this localized spatial shield can resist, you shouldn't have to worry about a powerful enemy crippling the mobility of your Mars Project if you ever expose its back."
That could be extremely helpful in many different situations. The localized spatial shield could play an especially crucial role in a duel against an expert mech that was comparable in strength!
Reginald looked a little more satisfied. "What else can it do? Can it make my mech move faster?"
"That is to be expected. As long as you direct additional energy to the flight system, it will directly amplify its acceleration, allowing you to move up to 200 percent faster in every direction."
"Just 200 percent?"
