The Mech Touch novel Chapter 5199

The start of the presentation proceeded according to expectation.

Ves had prepared his explanation of the Carmine System ahead of time. He just needed to stick to his plan and convey all of the information that he deemed necessary to share to the panel of three.

Throughout his lecture, the ace pilot as well as the two Master Mech Designers refrained from making any interruptions. They calmly listened as Ves began to explain the lengthy and convoluted journey that ultimately led to the invention of the Empowered Blood Sharing System.

When he explained how the Carmine System was partially responsible for the massive boost in resonance strength for Venerable Jannzi, he finally saw a shift in the expression of the Mace of Retribution.

As a powerful pilot himself, the Mace of Retribution understood better than the other people in this completely enclosed chamber how significant it was to experience a major rise in resonance strength.

The only problem was that there were more factors that contributed to this outcome. It was difficult for Ves to determine how much of a difference it made that Jannzi had formed a Blood Pact with the Bastion.

"Venerable Jannzi Larkinson has always been one of the fastest growing expert pilots of my clan." He explained. "I like to think that I contributed greatly to her success by designing and tailoring her mech over the course of her service to me. She is not only strong-willed and dedicated to her cause, but she has also bonded with her living mech a lot more intimately than my other pilots. This has made her the most suitable candidate to pair with my Carmine System."

The results matched or exceeded his expectations. By interfacing with the Bastion by utilizing both the neural interface as well as the Carmine System, Jannzi became much more spiritually in tune with her machine.

Many of her parameters increased as a result!

Ves even saw indications that Jannzi and the Bastion benefited even more from their permanent symbiotic relationship now that E energy radiation became a factor.

All in all, the Carmine System provided powerful proof that a single expert pilot and expert mech could drastically improve their synergy and cooperation by forming a Blood Pact with each other.

Unfortunately, this was not definitive proof that the Carmine System could provide similar benefits to every other expert pilot.

The sample size was too small!

What if Jannzi was the exception?

What if other expert pilots needed to become just as devoted to their mechs in order to form a working Blood Pact?

What if the Blood Pact led to detrimental or potentially fatal side effects in the future?

What if there was a chance that other mech pilots experienced physical rejection when they started to circulate artificial blood generated by a mech in their veins?

Ves could not provide answers to all of these difficult questions. This clearly disappointed the two Master Mech Designers as they were accustomed to receiving reports that were much more comprehensive and detailed.

This was partially Ves' fault. He had rushed to present his work early as soon as he discovered its greater implications.

He did not regret the decision to present the Carmine System to the Survivalist Faction so prematurely. The conference taking place this week was by far the best venue for him to present a possibly groundbreaking new design application in front of a panel that represented all three camps of the Survivalist Faction.

In any case, once he was done with talking about how the Carmine System provided a lot of added value to an existing expert pilot, he moved on to the next case.

When Ves explained the basic details on how he managed to restore his grandfather's ability to pilot mechs and helped him revive his extraordinary willpower, the reaction from the panel was much more obvious!

Master Goldstein already learned about this beforehand.

Master Xena Wintress and the Mace of Retribution received a lot less information about what had happened to Venerable Benjamin Larkinson. Now that they received more details, they became fascinated at how a young second-class Senior Mech Designer managed to solve a long-standing problem!

For all of their knowledge, wisdom and experience, none of the Masters or Star Designers had managed to develop a solution to this problem, at least as far as they knew!

Even if one of these impressive and competent figures managed to develop a solution, it was clearly too demanding and impractical to be adopted on a wider scale.

Nobody missed the fact that the Carmine System clearly came with a lot of limitations and restrictions. Yet despite all of its shortcomings, it was still a much more practical and affordable way to restore the combat effectiveness of brain-damaged mech pilots on a wider scale!

Gears already started to turn in their heads about what this could mean. They thought about the large number of veteran mech pilots that had been forced into retirement against their will.

Every war or major conflict produced casualties where mech pilots suffered from all kinds of injuries.

All of that was wasted manpower as far the leaders of red humanity were concerned. Many states and organizations had poured a lot of money and other resources into training to become the deadly soldiers that they needed in their ranks!

All of that skill, wisdom and experience could be tapped once again if the Carmine System offered this group of disabled veterans a second chance to compete for glory!

The Mace of Retribution couldn't hold in his growing curiosity any longer.

"Is the Carmine System exclusive to expert pilots or is it also rated to work with standard mech pilots?"
