Ves' mood had become a lot less burdened by depression the day after he had lost the Elemental Lord.
He initially thought that he would remain affected by the grief and loss of losing such a precious creation, but Veronica's most recent conversation with Cynthia changed everything!
Now that his expanded mind became filled with a lot of messy and complicated thoughts about heavenly authorities, his relationships with the three galaxies, the factors that determined the strength of lightning tribulations and the endless depth of multi-elemental cultivation, he had become way too distracted to pay much attention to his failure!
While the premature death and loss of the Elemental Lord still weighed heavily on Ves, he no longer became stuck in the past.
Instead, all of the explosive revelations from his mother had firmly set his sights to the future!
New issues, new threats and new possibilities loomed in the distance. Ves grew excited at the thought of tackling them so that he could ultimately design much stronger mechs than the ones he developed before.
"There is a lot more to hyper technology and E-technology than what I have used before."
Ves felt more ashamed of his precious forays into hyper mechs.
The Lionheart, the Blood Star Mark II and most notably the Elemental Lord all appeared to leverage the power of different elements, but their applications were painfully shallow and simplistic!
If Ves wanted to design much better hyper mechs, then he urgently needed to deepen his comprehension and mastery into specific E energy attributes.
This also lined up with the progression of a traditional blacksmith.
Each of them improved their craft by expanding their understanding of different elements and the materials associated with them. The greater their comprehension, the greater the extent their products could take advantage of an element!
Right now, Ves needed to set aside his obsession of merging the five elements and start off with just a single element.
While it was impossible for Ves to design a true mono-elemental mech given that they were all intrinsically related to metal and other elements, he wanted to improve the application of the water element in his next designs.
Several new mech ideas came to mind.
However, Ves quickly fell back to his Fey Project.
After all of the excitement surrounding the Elemental Lord, it seemed as if he had completely set the original Fey project aside.
lightsΝοvεl ?οm "It is still a good mech design."
Though its design did not measure up to his recently raised standards, it was still a fine product and a good drone mech in the early phase of the Hyper Generation.
The Living Mech Corporation had already made preparations to mass produce the commercial variants of his latest mech line. Gavin and many other staffers had also been working hard to set up a high profile product reveal event.
If Ves insisted on going back to the drawing board and finding a way to develop a version of the Fey Project that made much more extensive use of the water element, then that would completely upend the current schedule!
It would probably take at least several months for Ves to design a satisfactory hyper mech that utilized the power of water in more profound ways.
Ves might as well design a variant of the Fey Project, or better yet, a completely new mech design!
Perhaps he could even do both at the same time while also making sure he kept up on his intensive studies!
"My productivity has increased once more."
Ves had already noticed the improvements ever since he returned from the field.
The latest lightning baptism not only amplified the size of his physical body to the point where he had a lot more brain mass than before, it had also furthered the evolution of his mind and spirituality.
The care of the Red Ocean ensured that the recent lightning tribulation strengthened his overall foundation in a holistic manner without producing any sequelae!
Although Ves did not like to pile up a lot of debt, he sincerely felt grateful to the local heavenly authority for increasing his cognitive capabilities.
He was able to design his mechs a lot faster than before!
It was difficult for Ves to estimate how much he improved, and not all of it translated to purely intellectual gains.
Having a big body that was filled with phasewater actually imposed an exponentially greater burden onto Ves. Much of his brain capacity actually had to be dedicated towards managing all of the phasewater and phasewater organs.
If that did not happen, then it was far too easy for the space folding to get messed up or for a drop of phasewater to go berserk and tear a hole in his body!
Ves needed to gain a better understanding of his strange physical state. He was not that eager to find a corner and unfold his true body.
He was much more interested in planning out his next steps in relation to his mech design endeavors!
"Hm... I have already spent enough time on the Fey Project. It is time for me to wrap it up and give it a rest. I can wait until this mech line has become old enough for me to apply a lot of improved hyper technology in the next revisions."
His thoughts strayed towards future mech designs. He wanted to tackle at least one project that had a profound relationship with phasewater so that he could explore more extensive applications of the water element.
The most obvious answer he could think of was a space knight.
The defensive mechs of the Larkinson Clan could certainly use an update. The current versions of the Bright Warriors and the Rigid Walls were still serviceable as far as lastgen mechs went, but their roles were far too marginal in the current war.
