The Mech Touch novel Chapter 4553

Life in the expeditionary fleet returned to a routine.

The aftermath of the Battle of the Boryan Belt had already passed. Many damaged mechs had been restored to satisfactory condition while replacement mechs already made up for the ones that got destroyed.

The mech pilots that got killed by the alien pirates were much more painful to replace, but life had to go on. The Larkinson Army maintained an ample reserve of replacements. Enough of them seamlessly slotted into the understrength mech units.

It would probably take months for the different mech squads and mech companies to regain their high degree of coordination and synergy.

No one was sure whether another battle would erupt before the mech pilots could reach that level again, but no one was willing to bet that they would be left alone.

Either an enemy would bump into them and force them into a fight, or their clan patriarch would proactively lead them into a preventable battle.

That was how it always went, and everyone was pretty much used to it. Even their alliance partners pretty much took this for granted.

Everything was okay so long as the Golden Skull Alliance kept winning!

Ves could literally lead them all into the jaws of a phase whale and still maintain everyone's loyalty!

As the fleet slowly moved towards the direction where Lord Pearian Yorul-Tavik might be found, the different clansmen were doing their best to prepare for what the future might bring.

The mech pilots all focused on training while the mech designers attended to their various duties.

Ves reviewed the ongoing design projects at this time. He quietly scanned through the design logs and status reports in order to get up to speed with the latest developments.

"Hm, we are catching up to our original schedule again. That's good. The previous operation has delayed us by several weeks, but I am glad that the rewards we have obtained from the previous battle isn't slowing us down."

His wife nodded. She sat next to him as she held Marvaine in her arms. "We have a lot more manpower than before. As much as we wish to spend our time on studying all of the alien technology that we have salvaged from the previous battle, there are not enough mech designers who can perform our design work in our stead. It is much better to leave the technical analyses to other scientists and engineers and wait for them to draw their conclusions."

This was the approach that the Larkinsons had chosen, and it was working out to an extent.

Ves actually preferred to study all of the fascinating alien tech himself. He had gone on a day-long tour in fact so that he could see all of the fascinating warship and starfighter remnants up close.

He was hoping that there might be tech or material among the wreckage that were spiritually reactive.

He hadn't found anything significant, much to his disappointment. The natives of the Red Ocean did not have any interest in pursuing a purely spiritual path of goodhood, unlike the races back in the Milky Way.

It was all about phasewater to them. This worked out well enough for the indigenous alien races, but it was not that great to Ves.

Although Ves had become initiated into the ways of phasewater after his recent sublimation, he was still a spiritual engineer.

If he wanted to create more permanent works that combined the power of spirituality with more material products, then he needed to get his hands on more spiritually reactive materials.

The good news was that everything he had learned as of late introduced him to numerous different ways he could solve this problem.

From hunting down different whale species to growing organic metals that were baptized with enriched blood, Ves came up with all manner of potential solutions.

He had already tasked the Larkinson Biotech Institute and T Institute in exploring the more viable ones. Hopefully they would soon start their efforts to see whether his ideas had any merit.

For now, Ves needed to focus most of his attention on his design projects.

His massive upgrade to his cognitive functions had drastically accelerated his progress. So much so that he was making at least three times as much progress on a slower day and five times as much progress on a better day!

The drastic improvement in productivity made life much more convenient for Ves, but it also drew the ire of a certain jealous wife.

Though Gloriana did her best to remain composed, Ves could easily sense her growing feelings of jealousy and envy.

It was in her nature to be superior and as perfect as possible. She might tolerate losing to Ves on matters that were secondary to her interests, but she absolutely couldn't stomach any instance where she was losing to Ves in designing mechs!

During the past week, Ves not only got a lot more work done than her, but the depth and sophistication of design solutions had also experienced a noticeable jump!

This was a change that astonished Gloriana the most. Many of the elements that Ves designed as of late not only displayed a greater understanding of highly complicated scientific theories, but also showed a better mastery of all of the different tech.

These were all signs that Ves had not only acquired a lot of new and foreign scientific knowledge, but also become a lot more adept at utilizing what he had already learned.

The rapid progress of the Dullahan Project was proof of that. He managed to advance beyond the original schedule, all the while squeezing a rudimentary Empowered Blood Sharing System into the incomplete design.
