The Mech Touch novel Chapter 4944

It took around twenty minutes for Ves to complete his breakthrough, consolidate his newly ignited design flame and form a preliminary roadmap to realizing his design philosophy.

When he eventually opened his eyes, they conveyed a version of Ves that had grown up, both as a human and as a mech designer.

Venerable Jannzi had eventually figured out what had taken place. She had conscientiously taken a few steps back in order to give Ves the room to complete his breakthrough in total peace.

Now that Ves regained his awareness, the expert pilot could immediately tell the difference.

If the old Ves came across as an impetuous kid that brimmed with curiosity and lacked self-control, the new Ves immediately conveyed the impression that he had settled down because he had undertaken a serious responsibility.

Anyone who knew Ves in person would immediately be able to tell the difference!

"You have become a Senior Mech Designer if I am not mistaken."

Ves simply nodded. "That is correct. It's quite a surprise, Jannzi. Thank you for being the catalyst to my breakthrough to Senior. It's quite funny if you think about it. Around a decade ago, I managed to grasp the opportunity to advance to Journeyman Mech Designer after I designed the original Aurora Titan and fabricated the earliest version of the Shield of Samar for you. Times were much different back then. So much has changed since then, but one remarkable constant is that I owe my breakthrough to you once again."

The woman responded with a confused smile. "This is probably a coincidence. I just happen to be at the right place at the right time twice in a row. I don't even know what it takes to help you break through once again. I heard that it is extremely difficult for Seniors to go any further."

"Well, you never know. Maybe in the future you will be able to help me advance to Master Mech Designer." Ves shrugged and joked.

"Anyway, congratulations for your breakthrough, Ves. I hope that you will use your greater ability in designing mechs for the good of our clan. I might not agree with all of your policies, but I am in full support of your efforts to strengthen our fellow Larkinsons by designing more powerful mechs for them. We need every advantage that we can get in this dangerous dwarf galaxy."

"Aye. I already have many ideas in mind on how to give our clan a greater edge." Ves grinned. "The successful conclusion of the Dullahan Project has proved a lot of theories and given birth to many new ones. It has also become a lot easier for me to realize my more expansive design applications now that I have gained the strength of a Senior."

They talked a bit more about how his sudden breakthrough affected the trajectory of the Larkinson Clan.

Ves soon brought up his great concern.

"About the suspicion that you have just shared with me, can you please keep it to yourself for the time being? I don't think I need to tell you how much trouble we'll attract if it becomes known that my latest innovation can turn regular people into actual mech pilots."

Venerable Jannzi might not be as smart as a mech designer, but she was certainly not stupid!

"I understand, Ves. I will try not to spill this secret to others. Just be aware that if I can think about it, so can other mech pilots who are able to make use of your Carmine System."

"I will choose my next candidates carefully." Ves promised. "I will have to divulge this amazing possibility to the MTA eventually. The damn mechers will find out on their own if I don't take the initiative to share it myself, and by then I won't be able to gain as many concessions as before. It's a good thing that I have a couple of solid friends and backers within the Association."

The possibility to turn any human into a mech pilot without paying too much of a price had massive implications to both the Survivalists and the Transhumanists!

The Survivalists would probably embrace the benefits of expanding the manpower pool of potential mech pilots on a massive scale.

Gifted soldiers who possessed all of the right skills to become excellent mech pilots no longer had to win the genetic aptitude lottery in order to maximize their potential.

If a war between humans and aliens ever deteriorated to the point where most mech pilots had tragically fallen, the much greater population of norms could serve as a huge pool of reserves to draw upon!

As for the Transhumanists, human ascension became more accessible to the masses than ever. The possibilities that Ves brought to the table opened up an easier and less convoluted way for humans of all stripes to grow stronger.

One of the most remarkable consequences of realizing his latest ambition was that apotheosis no longer became exclusive to potentates! Norms could transform their willpower and surpass the extraordinary threshold with the help of mechs as well as long as Ves successfully completed his research!

Yet before Ves could realize all of these dramatic outcomes, it was incredibly important for him and Jannzi to keep this sensitive matter under wraps.

Once he concluded his eventful meeting with Jannzi, he stepped out of the isolation chamber and returned to his fellow collaborators.

Gloriana and the others had spent their time on cleaning up the workshop. An army bots moved all sorts of disqualified parts and loose materials out of the way. The newly completed Dullahan Project also went through a quick inspection to verify that it was stable and not about to explode or anything.

Each of them paused in their work the moment that Ves entered the workshop once again.
