The Mech Touch novel Chapter 5300

Ves imposed high demands on the second generation of his Carmine System.

It needed to incorporate more than refinements of existing tech. It had to offer substantially better performance compared to the previous generation.

A part of the improvements also had to be completely new. Only by adding revolutionary new functionality would the second generation be worthwhile enough to overhaul the Bastion's original Carmine System!

However, a lot needed to happen before Ves was willing to apply an upgrade to one of his most important works.

He already spent a bit of time familiarizing himself with the power that was locked away in the blood of powerful entities.

Il did not surprise him that Blinky's highly attuned senses easily managed to detect traces of unusual energies in the blood of expert pilots, mech designers as well as his talented children.

However, that was not enough data for Ves. He needed to discover more variations In order to build up a picture in his mind. Only then would he be able to figure out a more specific way to improve the Carmine System.

As the patriarch of the Larkinson Clan, it was not difficult for him to request a large quantity of blood samples.

It only took hours before a bunch of hots delivered thousands of vials of red liquid. The vitality contained in these modest samples were relatively weak, but when they were all placed next lo each other, they exuded a collective sense of power lhal was linged with lhe flavor of lhe Larkinson Clan!

Ves enjoyed himself as he inspected the blood samples one by one. He made a lot of different observations as he examined the extraordinary properties of different people.

just as he expected, the blood drawn from expert pilots remained the strongest by far. Everyone olsc's blood was weaker to the point that there was barely any value in using them for other purposes.

While he detected a lot of subtle variations in the samples taken from different people, they weren't all that interesting most of the time.

"Whether a subject has surpassed the extraordinary threshold makes a substantial difference in blood potency."

Ves actually figured out that this might be a consistent way to detect extraordinary life forms. No matter how well these individuals hid their power, it was doubtful whether their lifeblood could hide their true nature.

In any case, Ves actually made a lot of interesting observations when he examined the blood of outliers.

For example, mutated beasts such as Arnold along with many other extraordinary creatures held inside the Dragon's Den possessed particularly powerful blood!

The potency of their blood could easily match or exceed that of a typical expert pilot!

That did not necessarily mean that mutated boasts were more powerful. What actually happened was that their physiques were more sensitive towards Ecnorgyand absorbed it more effectively.

In other words, their natural cultivation was much more slanted towards body cultivation.

This was a particularly important discovery to Ves!

He even discovered thal empowered blood or 'E blood' for short could even function as a hyper material to an extent!

Although the capacity of blood was pitiful compared to a more traditional hyper material, this still indicated that Ves had alternatives if he couldn't get his hands on proper materials!

"Interesting!"

The blood derived from extraordinary beings were also sensitive towards different elements. This made a lot of sense. Blood sourced from a mutated beast with an affinity for water reacted well when exposed to water-aspected E energy.

All of this lined up with his current understanding of cultivation science.

However, what truly mattered was how he could translate his findings and knowledge into a concrete improvement of the Carmine System and by extension the mech as a whole.

Ves called up the incomplete design of the Blood Knight Project once again and stared at it for several minutes.

Time passed as his eyes focused on different design elements. Eventually, a light shone in his eyes as a brand new concept gradually formed in his mind.

"The Carmine System... is originally based on the methods of the Gemini Family."

The Geminis evoked a lot of disgust and revulsion due to their tradition of turning twin siblings into married couples, but that did not stop Ves from admiring the results of all of their efforts.

No matter what, lhe substantial boost in power and coordination from two highly cooperative mech pilots was very real!

Seeing the twin ace pilots of the Gemini Family effectively merge their domains as well as their ace mechs together was one of the most impressive feats that Ves had ever witnessed as a mech designer.

Il was impossible to produce this result in any other way. Ves admired the engineering thal went into the Gemini Family's iconic ace mechs.

By designing them in a way that enabled them to merge into the Embodiment of Love and Sacrifice, the resulting combination mech perfectly fused the strengths and domains of Saint Sandro Gemini and Saint Kaia Gemini!

When Ves compared the extreme synergies produced by this fantastic combination with the synergies attained by his Carmine System, he found that his work lost out badly.

"The problem is that the relationship is loo uneven." He frowned.

When it came to the Bastion, the expert space knight was actually considerably less extraordinary than Venerable Jannzi.

Thar was nor necessarily a problem, though. The Bastion was a living expert mech that could automatically grow her spiritual foundation as well as rhe quality of her mech frame over time.

Exposure to exotic radiation significantly accelerated this growth rate!

Sooner or later, the Bastion would be able to catch up to Jannzi's approximate strength.

That was probably close to the best outcome that Ves could hope for. The Bastion would not hold Jannzi back, but she wouldn't be able to provide her human battle partner with any additional assistance.

"If the Bastion is stronger, she can channel greater benefits through the Blood Pact."

The situation was different for mechs that belonged to weaker mech pilots.
