The Mech Touch novel Chapter 5028

5028 Increased Alien Incursions

As Ves continued to harvest a lot of interesting data and insights from the operation of the Blood Star, he formed a lot of important conclusions.

For example, he confirmed that his grandfather's ability to control the Blood Star was not quite up to standard.

"I am still learning how to do this myself." Benjamin told him as he wore his piloting suit. He had just completed another testing session. "The Blood Pact is much different from the man-machine connection that mech pilots are familiar with. You need to take a different approach to controlling a machine. I can transfer many of my old piloting skills to this new interfacing method, but I have to learn a lot of new skills from scratch as well. I can do this faster because I have regained my old strength as an expert pilot, but I believe it will be much harder for normal pilots to build up the same proficiencies."

Ves nodded in understanding. "Interesting. Do you think that normal blood-bonded mech pilots will be able to control their machines as effectively as you? Their willpower and mental strength cannot match yours. How much do you rely on these qualities to effectively pilot your Blood Star?"

"I... do not know. I feel that you should not expect much from mech pilots who have yet to grow to my extent. It depends on whether their Blood Pact can develop as extensively as mine. Do not use me as a representative example for other cases. I think that weaker mech pilots will struggle to control a mech through a tenuous bond."

The only way to find out was to design a Carmine mech for ordinary individuals. Ves was far from ready to do so. He had so many different priorities on his hand. The new demand of developing the Blood Star into a proper high-tier expert mech added yet any heavy burden to his busy schedule!

Ves inwardly shook his head and focused his attention on his grandfather's physical condition.

His hair was still gray and his skin did not lose its wrinkles. Though Benjamin's body had filled up a bit as of late, it did not look as if the old man was ready to run a marathon anytime soon!

"How is your health, grandfather? I can sense that your restored willpower along with your regular piloting sessions with the Blood Star has done your body a lot of good, but I do not have a clear idea of how extensively you have pushed back your expiration date. Expert pilots normally aren't able to prolong their lifespans due to various limitations. Your previous physical condition was also exceptionally poor. It should be a miracle that you can stand like this with a straight back!"

Ves still had a lot of concerns about Venerable Benjamin Larkinson's longevity. It should have been impossible for his grandfather to recover to this extent so quickly back in the Milky Way.

Yet now that red humanity lived under the golden dawn of Messier 87, every person received a substantial boost!

Although it was not quite certain whether most humans would benefit from getting exposed to exotic radiation, the story was different to those who were strong in will or spirit!

Benjamin had become a genuine demigod again, and that granted him the capability to absorb E energy radiation and use it to empower him in various different ways!

From strengthening his domain to boosting the transformation of his physical body, Benjamin already started to exhibit the traits of an ace pilot!

What was even better was that this was just the beginning. As long as the old expert pilot continued to acclimate to his new state and received a proper expert mech, his health would continue to improve!

Ves already concluded that his grandfather's continued existence was highly reliant on his resonance strength.

The stronger his force of will, the more he would be able to reverse the effects of aging!

Advancing to ace pilot was the greatest priority at the moment. Ves even considered that it was more important to ensure that his Benjamin advanced to ace pilot first before helping Ark attain his own breakthrough!

After all, Ark was still at the prime of his life. He still had plenty of years of life ahead of him. He might even be able to experience his second apotheosis by relying on the more favorable conditions produced by exotic radiation.

Of course, he and his wife would probably design both of their expert mechs at the same time.

Gloriana had enough time on her hands after she completed the Greenaxe Project and the Bloodripper Project, although...

"If breakthroughs occur at greater rates, then even she will become overwhelmed." Ves frowned.

He needed to expand the Design Department even further if that was the case. It needed a lot more lead designers in order to keep up with the expanding workload!

"Mech designers should be able to break through with greater ease as well."

That gave him hope that many of the assistants who had been working for the Larkinson Clan for a number of years would rise up and form their own design seeds.

Although the overall quality of every new mech designed by the Design Department would obviously drop because of this, it was fine as long as the Larkinson Clan was able to issue an expert mech to every new expert pilot in a timely manner!

"Not every new expert mech has to be as exaggerated as the Bastion or the Phobos." He reminded himself.

He was used to treating his expert pilot like scarce treasures.

It was fine for him to invest a huge amount of resources in the development of every expert mech because he could not afford to lose any of his high-ranking mech pilots.

Many people initially did not notice any differences. The security situation on this side of Torald was not any different from the previous middle zone. _{ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com}
