Chapter 4167 Mystery Process

Ves entered Hempkamp's private research lab with both anticipation and trepidation in his mind.

Despite keeping a fairly close eye on Hempkamp's ongoing research projects, Ves lacked the expertise to fully understand the research that took place in this chamber.

While it looked as if Cormaunt Hempkamp stayed within the lines that Ves had set, who knew whether this was actually the case.

Another concern Ves had of Hempkamp was whether his first completed research project was safe enough to be utilized in any new and ongoing design projects.

If Ves was forced to shoot down Hempkamp's work despite the man's admirable restraint, who knew what he would do afterwards.

This was why he hoped that Hempkamp truly succeeded in delivering a real result that could provide solid benefits when put into use. The Larkinson Clan could truly use all of the advantages that it could get, and making better use of neural interfaces sounded like a good way to improve the actual combat performance of its mech units.

The research lab that Ves had set up in an available space inside the Genesis Lab did not look unusual.

Hempkamp had done little to rearrange the interior. The only real element he added to the lab was bringing in different living mechs every now and then to conduct experiments that required their usage.

Right now, Hempkamp had brought in a Transcendent Punisher of all choices.

The heavy mech possessed an imposing presence due to its bulk, but also exuded a sense of sacred purpose due to its Ylvaine-derived glow.

The combination between the two made it seem as if the Transcendent Punisher was ready to shoot down demons with extreme prejudice!

The age of the Transcendent Punisher also contributed a lot to its presence. Ves could immediately spot many different clues that told him that the mech was among the batch of earlier heavy artillery mechs that the Larkinson Clan had produced.

The mech enjoyed a good life and had developed an excellent cooperation with its Ylvainan mech pilot. It had already developed a character of its own, though it was still a distance away from evolving into a third order living mech.

At this time, the Larkinson Clan was already midway into its comprehensive upgrade and refit process. A lot of existing Larkinson mechs had been upgraded from their original incarnations to the Mark II or Mark III versions of their models.

The Design Department had yet to update the Transcendent Punisher design to the current standards of the clan, but it was only a matter of time before it happened.

Ves just wanted to wait for a while in order to see whether his clan could gain access to a mass production version of a transphasic artillery cannon system.

Even if the penetrative power of more economical transphasic weapon systems was not that significant, they still dealt a lot more effective damage towards ordinary targets!

That was a consideration for another day, though. For now, the Transcendent Punisher design had changed little since he had completed it years ago. It was still a rim-level heavy artillery mech that possessed decent damage output and excelled at accuracy by taking advantage of special means.

"Tell me why you brought a Transcendent Punisher in your lab." Ves requested as soon as he approached the eager-looking neural interface specialist. "Why experiment with this mech instead of the many other ones that we have available?"

Hempkamp smiled as he turned towards Ves. "I chose this model to demonstrate my progress because it responds best to what I have in mind. It may be large, but it is relatively simple in purpose and in its metaphysical traits. It is a mech that you have designed in a way that is highly compatible with its design spirit. It is a literally an Ylvainan mech that honors the individual known as Ylvaine. I enjoy working with unitary mech models like the Transcendent Punisher because the variables aren't as complicated."

"Couldn't you have gone for other mech models, then?" Ves asked. "Why not opt for a Bright Warrior, for example?"

"The Bright Warrior is a fine mech all-considered, but it is too unfocused and not specific enough for me. You will find that my design solution doesn't actually work that well with this specific model."

Ves was willing to accept that explanation. "Please proceed with your experiment."

"Very well. Let me bring in the mech pilot that is bonded to this machine. The first step is to measure and observe the performance of this pair in the MSTS."

By now, every Larkinson mech had gained a connection to the Mental Simulation Training System.

Though it started out as an add-on and a unique selling point of the War Squire model, there was no rule that prohibited Ves from connecting his new spiritual simulation program to all of his other living mechs!

He had updated all of the mech models that were in use by his clan and made it so that every Larkinson mech pilot was able to engage this function.

While Ves also had the option to extend this function to his customers who bought the LMC's commercial offerings, he did not do so for many reasons.

For now, only the users of the War Squire and the mech pilots of his own clan were able to make use of this valuable and extremely effective simulation training system!

The mech pilot, who turned out to be an ordinary pilot of the Eye of Ylvaine, began to show off his skills in the MSTS.

Having piloted his Transcendent Punisher for several years, the Ylvainan mech pilot acquitted himself well in the simulated battle scenario.

The mech pilot knew the properties of all of the cannons well. His accuracy with each of the guns was fairly high as well.

Naturally, battle performance skyrocketed when he engaged the Transcendent Punisher's signature Guided Aim triggered ability.

Eventually, the simulated artillery mech got overrun when a flood of light mechs reached its position and turned its vulnerable rear into a pincushion._{freewebnoveℓ.com}
