The Mech Touch novel Chapter 4238

4238 New Attack Phase Crystal

In the past, Ves engaged in many collaborative design projects.

He usually worked with different combinations of lead designers to design a lot of different mechs.

The selection and configuration of every design team differed based on the needs of every project.

For example, when Ves wanted to update his Transcendent Punisher design to modern standards, there was hardly any point in pulling in melee mech specialists such as Ketis and the Power Pair.

The general rule was that up to five mech designers could effectively impart the strength of their design philosophies onto a mech design.

Ves usually attempted to fill up all of these slots whenever possible, but it was a lot easier for people like him or other mech designers to make their mark on a mech design if they did not have to share so much.

In any case, the new weapon design project that he had spontaneously started was different from all of his previous projects.

His express goal was to design a powerful weapon that could expressly unleash pure beams of death without demanding too much from Helena.

Though he had witnessed instances in the past where Helena was able to fire a powerful concentrated beam of death in the material realm with the help of her Death Lotus, the efficiency was simply too low under ordinary circumstances!

Perhaps she might be able to save a few people in an emergency, but she would only exhaust herself trying to do so over the course of a massive mech battle involving hundreds of thousands of mechs.

If Ves wanted to give his clan the ability to repeatedly fire beams of death without squeezing Helena dry or straining her to exhaustion, then he had to create a weapon that could bridge the gap between the material realm and the imaginary realm!

Luminar crystals happened to be the key medium that could make this possible. Their reactivity to spirituality at least opened the door to such an application. All Ves had to do was to invent a new kind of attack phase crystal, preferably within a single day!

Ves already recognized that he did not have the expertise and understanding to complete this kind of research by himself.

This was why he thought about doing something that he had rarely done in the past, but should have done more often due to how useful it was to work in this way.

He formed a design team composed of himself and a bunch of design spirits.

It was quite difficult to make this team productive at first.

"I don't know anything about science and engineering! I'm a goddess! I simply make stuff happen!" Helena complained. _{freёweɓnovel.com}

"#$&#&$." The Illustrious One silently communicated in a way that only Ves could clearly understand.

"That's not the way you should design a mech pistol!" Vulcan complained while swinging his intangible blacksmith's hammer. "It's way too skinny to endure the rigors of battle. If you want to make a relic that lasts forever, then I insist on thickening up its body!"

Ves let out a breath in exasperation as he rubbed his palm against his face. An hour hadn't even gone by after he brought all of these design spirits together and already they were bickering with him and each other about countless little details.

None of them were on the same page!

This wouldn't have happened if he worked with professional mech designers who were accustomed to working alongside their colleagues.

"QUIET EVERYONE!" Ves eventually shouted. "This isn't working! Time is short. We need to complete a weapon before our fleet is about to engage the enemy at Pima Prime V. Please bear with me as I try another solution. Blinky! Come out, you lazy cat!"

Mrow…?

The purple Star Cat floated out of Ves' head while letting out a yawn. It looked as if he had just woken up from a pleasant cat nap.

"I need you to form a design network with everyone here. This is the only way we can effectively pool our knowledge and coordinate our design work."

Blinky blinked as the companion spirit directed his gaze at Ves, Helena, the Illustrious One and Vulcan in turn.

"I'm being serious, Blinky. I know you've never done this with me and a bunch of design spirits before, but there's a first time for everything! Just make sure to limit the connections so that I won't get flooded with too much incomprehensible data."

Mrow…

Blinky did as instructed, taking extra care to limit the amount of data throughput over the spiritual bonds.

Spiritual entities were much different from organic life forms such as Ves.

The latter were largely constrained in their thinking by the finite capacities of their brains.

The former did not have to deal with those limitations and could easily scale up the magnitude of their thinking processes so long as they had the spiritual energy to spare!

What this meant was that it was quite dangerous to form an unregulated spiritual bond between normal people and spiritual entities.

So-called 'gods' could quite literally crush mortals to their deaths with the magnitude of their mental activity!

At first, Blinky definitely experienced a lot of strain. He actively had to shrink the bonds and implement more filters in order to make the design network bearable to Ves.

Once Blinky got everything right, Ves simply sat in his seat and took in all of the new input while actively sharing what he wanted to accomplish with his weapon design.
