The Mech Touch novel Chapter 5391

Chapter 5391 Mystery Box Mech

Ark and Benjamin gained a thorough enough understanding of the Jupiter Project and the Blood Star Mark II Project.

They became amazed at all of the amazing tech and dazzling promises. The two new designs possessed so many features that they exceeded the scope of a typical high-tier expert mech.

This was an expression of Ves' love and affection towards his family. He wanted to equip Ark and Benjamin with the best possible mechs that the Larkinson Clan could supply at this point.

All of the additional months and all of the resources committed to these two expert mech design projects would eventually pay off in spades.

A part of him couldn't wait to realize these two fantastic machines and enable his two older relatives to truly take off in their respective careers as mech pilots!

After so many years, Ves would finally be able to complete one of his long-held aspirations as a mech designer.

His father already made use of the Devil Tiger.

Once his uncle and his grandfather received their own powerful living mechs, Ves would gain a lot of satisfaction knowing that his work would be responsible for protecting and realizing the dreams of his older blood relatives!

The sense of satisfaction that he could gain from this was far greater than selling millions of mechs to random customers.

As much as he derived a sense of accomplishment from becoming a commercially successful mech designer, nothing could beat the happiness of meeting the needs of his own family members.

He understood a lot better now why Ketis cared so much about designing mechs for the Swordmaidens.

As the lengthy explanation session came to a close, General Ark asked a seemingly simple question that actually touched upon a surprisingly convoluted subject.

"Which of these expert mechs are stronger?"

Both Ves and Gloriana exchanged glances with each other.

"It is not easy for us to answer this question." Gloriana replied first. "Our approach for the Jupiter Project is based on a solid idea and vision. We have access to a large amount of current information about your piloting style and so on. You also have strong and well-defined ideas on what you seek from your expert mech and what you expect to do with it. Based on your role as a command-oriented expert pilot that prefers to lead from the front, we developed the Jupiter Project to maximize your well-known strengths to the greatest extent possible. It is a design that has relatively few mysteries. We have a high degree of confidence in the predictions that we have made about its performance."

Much of this had to do with the fact that Gloriana was in charge of this project from beginning to end. Though Ves contributed substantially to this expert mech design, he respected the voice of his wife and deferred to her whenever they disagreed on a contentious design choice.

"The Blood Star Mark II is the opposite in this regard." Ves spoke next. "Grandpa, you have retired from the battlefield for more than half a century. While we can still listen to your old war stories and access old archival footage of some of your battles, so much time has gone by that it is not a good idea to put so much weight on all of this old stuff. You have gained a fresh start, so your expert mech should take that into account and present you with a blank platform where you can formulate a new fighting style that fits your present circumstances a lot better."

Venerable Benjamin adopted an understanding expression. "Is that why my expert mech is lacking in explosive equipment?"

"Yes. We could have supplied your Blood Star Mark II with more powerful weapons like a plasma sword. I could have attempted to add more key resonating exotics to your Blood Star Mark II as well, but I think it is best to start with a strong foundation and leave a lot more room for growth and exploration. This is why Dennissium Maximum is the only powerful resonating exotic that we have added to your machine. Venerable Zimro Belson has good experiences with the ability for the Phobos to charge and amplify his weapon. It should be enough to give your expert mech a chance to inflict a strong attack without limiting the options of your mech. You can employ this resonating ability on any weapon, no matter whether it is a sword, a spear or even a shield."

Venerable Benjamin was compatible with many different resonating exotics, but Ves chose to settle for one that he had already added to the only expert stealth mech of the Larkinson Clan.

The performance of an offensive space knight was relatively balanced, with a moderate emphasis on defense.

This meant that its attack power was not exceptional if it was unable to build up momentum.

The Charged Weapon resonating ability should be enough to give the Blood Star Mark II to unleash particularly powerful blows whenever it was truly necessary.

The downside was that every attempt would impose a significant burden on his grandfather, but this was not as big of a problem in this case.

Unlike Venerable Zimro Belson who was still a low-tier expert pilot at this time, his grandfather's resonance strength had recovered to the level of a high-tier expert pilot!

There was a massive gulf in strength between the two tiers!

So long as Benjamin did not suffer from any notable problems, it shouldn't be a problem for him to unleash a dozen or so Charged Weapon attacks at a significantly greater magnitude.

The power boost would become even more exaggerated if Benjamin broke through and became an ace pilot!
