The Mech Touch novel Chapter 5381

Chapter 5381 Strategic Value of Mech Designs

Ves appreciated the heads up from Jovy.

Being able to gain crucial information about the big picture enabled Ves to gain a proper understanding of the current trends of the Red Ocean.

He became quite alarmed by the news that the aliens would soon be hitting red humanity harder than before!

The Red Cabal had plenty of reasons to take revenge on the humans. Many of the native aliens understood that they could not allow the foreign invaders to accumulate their strength over time.

All of this and more indicated that the frontlines would become even more dangerous than before!

Ves had plenty of reasons to be concerned about these changes. The expeditionary fleet of the Golden Skull Alliance and the Warborn Mech Division under the leadership of General Ark Larkinson soon had to face greater dangers.

The Davutans and the Hexers would also suffer a lot more losses if the alien onslaught grew too fierce.

Various border regions such as the Torald Middle Zone and maybe even the Agamemnon Upper Zone might fall due to the rapid escalation of alien offensives!

Suffice to say, Ves was not happy with these developments. His plan for the upcoming years relied heavily on a certain degree of stability in human space.

If red humanity already started to crumble before the Deep Strike Plan could take effect, he wasn't sure whether he would be in a position to meet all of his short to medium term goals.

At the very least, the massive disruptions in the mech market and human society as a whole would make it much harder for Ves to operate!

Right now, Ves needed to focus on what he could do to affect the course of the coming campaigns.

Different from many other people, a tier 3 galactic citizen like Ves managed to gain enough power and agency to materially influence the direction of the war. Even if his ability to strengthen red humanity was still too limited for liking, it was better than nothing!

His current situation reminded Ves a lot of his time in the Sand War. Back then, a few clever mech designs significantly strengthened humanity's ability to resist the invasion of the sandman race.

Could he replicate this old feat and save red humanity on a far greater scale than before?

Though Ves was not conceited enough to assume that he could single-handedly win the war, he could at least do his part to tip the scales in the human race's favor!

The revelations from Jovy urged Ves to help with the coming crisis by designing the appropriate mechs!

Of the handful of projects in development, there were two mech designs in particular that had the potential to exert an outsized influence on the war.

"The Fey Project and the Supremo Project can significantly affect the battles involving second-class forces." He told his wife and his new disciple Alexa when they gathered in the design lab. "We need to rethink their configurations and make sure to load up as much hyper technology on them as possible in order to maximize their ability to impact the war going forward. They will be the mech designs that will put the LMC back into prominence!"

The two female mech designers did not appear entirely convinced by his argument.

"Even though I am still an Apprentice Mech Designer, I am fully capable of designing a low or mid-tier first-class multipurpose mech. These products are rarely used by frontline military units, but they are still widely employed by smaller independent outfits. So long as we combine your living mech traits with my technical design, we should be able to publish a relatively basic first-class mech design that is enriched by our unique value proposition."

"It is too soon for us to intervene in first-class battles." Ves flatly noted. "If we want to introduce the Living Mech Corporation in the first-class mech market, we need to start with a strong opening. A mech that is mostly designed by an Apprentice will produce the opposite effect. It is much better for us to wait until both my wife and I have been promoted to first-class mech designers."

"I agree." Gloriana backed him up. "Failing to take advantage of the current timing means that we will completely abandon our chance of staking our place in the new mech market, but I do not want us to humiliate ourselves by releasing a sub-par product. There are benefits to biding our time. We can wait for the mech industry to develop more refined and mature applications of hyper technology. We can also continue to experiment with new technologies while we are still working on second-class mech design projects. We should only move on when we are thoroughly able to design a revolutionary first-class mech."

They no longer talked about first-class mech designs and turned back on what they could do with second-class mech designs.

"How is the Supremo Project going along?" Gloriana asked. "This mech design is restricted to the armed forces of Davute, so is it worthwhile for you to put additional effort into turning it into a fully fledged hyper mech?"

"It is worth it." Ves spoke. "Think about what the Hex Federation has accomplished with its own set of living Hexer mech models. I want to do the same for Davute. So long as its people grow dependent on my products, I will hold power over them. While the Krakatoa Middle Zone is not right next to the border, I am sure the Davutans are feeling a lot more nervous and desperate now. They need stronger mechs, and we can take advantage of that to gain more power over their state."

"I thought you didn't care about states, especially second-class ones."
