The Mech Touch novel Chapter 5087

The Red Two's recent discloses related to hyper materials generated a lot of discussion and speculation.

The broad community of red humanity still looked up to the Red Association and the Red Fleet, so they accepted the explanation easily enough.

What most people working in the academic and industrial sectors wanted to know was how they could make use of these new hypers to their advantage.

The greater scientific community had been remarkably unrestrained when it came to sharing data and results produced by fundamental research. This enabled much of red humanity to quickly get a basic grip on the mutating materials phenomenon.

However, their generosity quickly came to an end as soon as research delved into the possible applications of any discovered hyper materials!

None of the states, companies or research institutions were stupid. They all recognized that research on how to take advantage of the properties of hypers was the next big trend!

Any useful and actionable knowledge could be used to fulfill goals that were previously unattainable!

For example, a mech company could release a new mech model that utilized a new hyper to increase its acceleration by 50 percent.

Sales of a mech that moved a lot faster than anything else without costing too much more could easily become a new market leader!

A state like Davute that managed to discover an effective method to turn a hyper into a highly destructive warhead could start a war that could quickly overwhelm the defenses of Karlach in a matter of months!

All of these possible scenarios and more drove many people to frantically engage in their own priority research into hypers!

Ves was no different in that sense. An amazing relic weapon such as the Gray Lotus simply couldn't be made without access to a specific sub-classification of hyper materials.

He previously assumed that it was impossible to obtain similar resources unless he paid a lot of Ascension Points to redeem them from the Mech Designer System.

Now that he discovered that exotic radiation changed this equation all of a sudden, he too had become obsessed with this latest trend!

Different from many other people, Ves already possessed a decent understanding of how he could make effective use of certain hypers.

The only constraint was that it would probably take a while for the T Institute to produce the first batch of prime materials.

Ves couldn't wait to ramp up production and get his hands on a lot of cache materials and sympathetic materials!

More specifically, Ves was already thinking about designing a super deluxe variant of the Valkyrie Redeemer.

He already had plans to design a similar upgraded variant for the Penitent Sisters and maybe the Glory Seekers. He wanted it to become a quasi-first-class mech as well as a transphasic mech in order to maximize its combat power.

If he was able to turn it into a prime mech as well with the use of a sympathetic material that paired well with its design spirit, then the upgraded Valkyrie mech would likely be able to reach a whole other level of power!

At the very least, Ves anticipated that such a Valkyrie mech would be able to produce much more powerful battle formation attacks!

He could think of other ways to exploit the support and amplification provided by sympathetic materials that possessed similar properties to Black Demon Steel!

The other mech designers of the Larkinson Clan had already come up with their own possible ideas.

For example, Ketis saw a lot of promise in them. She had been working with Unending alloy swords for years, so she possessed a head-start in this field just like Ves.

"As you know, resonating exotics are commonly used in expert mechs in order to generate true resonance." She explained to him during a collaborative design session centered around the Storm Sword Project. "They can make swordmasters a lot more powerful, but nothing at the level of the Heavensword. Even the best and most luxurious use of resonating exotics can only enable a swordmaster to damage a typical mech. Defense is much more problematic as a sword doesn't offer enough room to produce an effective resonating shield."

The total mass of a typical sword designed to be wielded by humans was only a fraction of that of a full-sized mech!

One of the reasons why expert pilots were so unquestionably strong was because their gigantic mechs could accommodate many kilograms of powerful resonating exotics!

Ves already had an inkling what his former student was getting at. "Are you suggesting that the power imbalance between swordmasters and expert pilots might shrink with the introduction of hypers?"

The woman looked a bit uncertain. "I am not completely sure. The Heavensword Association's past records describe legendary weapons that can enable its wielder to amplify all techniques by borrowing 'the power of heaven and earth'. From what we have been able to deduce, this means that the swords of the past were able to derive a massive boost from E energy radiation. There are tales that the Heavensworders previously considered to be fantasies, but are now seen as a lot more realistic. The right swords can enable swordmasters to fly through space and chop entire starships in half."
