The Mech Touch novel Chapter 5560

Chapter 5560 The TEMP Mechanism

The Montebra GHCMQ-3 clearly wasn't ready for primetime.

The mech appeared to be well-designed and polished from the outside, but now that it had completed an incredibly intensive charge attack, it had exposed a lot of flaws and shortcomings.

Whatever electromagnetic wizardry enabled it to form an unbreakable lock onto a target mech, the extreme measure clearly hadn't been designed for a mech of this caliber!

The fried components, the obvious reduction in fluency, the shaking limbs and many other indicators showed that the two Montebras had paid a heavy price to deliver their most powerful killing blows at their targets.

It worked, more or less.

Though one of the Fey Fiannas managed to blunt the force of the incoming lance by making use of the sum total of all of the modular armor plating attached to all of the fey, the powerful electromagnetic pull had been at its strongest when the distance between the two mechs had shrunk.

This enabled the Montebra in question to muster up enough force to deliver a crippling blow to the Fey Fianna!

Now, the main body in question was barely holding on to its remaining functions. The torso was a critical element to any mech. So many energy cells and other important components had been ripped away from the machine.

Many of the adjacent components became affected by all of the damage as well. The Fey Fianna's degree of compartmentalization was not high due to its slim build, and its redundancy was not that impressive either.

The fact that it could remain standing after missing an entire chunk out of its side was already a technical accomplishment!

Unfortunately, few people paid attention to the Fey Fianna at this moment. They had witnessed this mech model plenty of times now, so the novelty had started to wear off already.

The Montebras had become the latest highlight of the moment!

Even in their damaged and diminished state, the spear-wielding machines still looked amazingly handsome and deadly.

Electrical sparks continued to crackle off their dented mech frames. The loss of all of their prior excess armor caused the machines to look a lot less bloated and a lot more proportionate.

Combined with the strong electrical energies that continued to surge from the insides of the machines, the metallic machines gave the illusion that they were godly warriors that had been bestowed with the gift of lightning!

"Amazing! These lancer mechs can run down any agile mech with their electromagnetic power!"

"These Montebras have subverted one of the fundamental adages of lancer mechs."

"Who is Master Hubert-Colmain? How come I have never heard of her? Is she a famous mech designer over at the Greenwich Middle Zone?"

In contrast to the people who didn't know any better and became affected by the dashing sight of the lightning-blessed mechs, the mech designers among the viewers did not unilaterally praise the Montebras.

The mechs had certainly demonstrated great strength, but it did not pull off their amazing charge attacks without suffering great damage in return.

"The real reason why the Montebras are able to purge their heavy frontal armor is not because they need to gain a lot of mobility to improve their brawling capabilities. The mechs have no choice but to shed all of their excess mass because they cannot adequately fight anymore after they have overexerted themselves. Without this essential function, it is doubtful whether the Montebras could pull off a second charge attack!"

It became clear that the melee mech model in its current state was not meant to go on sale right away.

No one looked forward to buying and using a mech that fried itself to a semi-crippled state after pulling off just a single big move.

The logistical burden imposed by such a powerful and inefficient mech was more trouble than it was worth in most practical cases.

It was only in specific situations such as an important match that such an investment could be justified!

Ves directed a pointed glance towards Master Ginevra Hubert-Colmain.

He had the feeling that his Fey Fianna had become the foil this time. The Montebra model attracted so much admiration and interest that hardly anyone was thinking about how amazing it was that one of the two drone mechs had managed to escape certain death.

Many other mechs would have never been able to get away if they were put in the same position a moment ago! How come no one appreciated that the Fey Fianna was surprisingly hardy and difficult to take down for a machine of its kind?

"As you can see, the Turbo ElectroMagnetic Pairing mechanism is not yet complete." Master Ginevra calmly explained to Ves. "The E-energy to electrical energy conversion process is too rough and inefficient. The short-circuiting that took place is an inevitable consequence of trying to produce more electrical power than a standard mech of this construction can handle. It would have been much better to implement this mechanism in an expert mech or a first-class multipurpose mech. Their materials and components are able to endure much greater loads."

"Maybe you should dial down the power level." Ves made an obvious suggestion..

"I have tried that before, but the results were not satisfactory. My newly developed TEMP mechanism can achieve the greatest effect when it cannot be shaken off by the target machine. I have found that lower power settings not only reduces the activation range by a large extent, but also enables the opposing mech to break the lock. For better or worse, the TEMP mechanism can only be produced at an unsustainable level to the Montebra design."

"I see."

The mechs in the field had begun to make their next moves.

As the Montebras shook off the consequences of their brutal charge attacks and started to descend towards their final remaining target, the surviving Fey Fianna in the field took action as well.

The machine took control of all 6 offensive fey regardless of whether they were occupied by a subordinate spirit.

The fey did not have to be inhabited by an actual living spirit in order to be used!

Every Fey Fianna possessed the capacity to commandeer orphaned fey by relying on more conventional spur control mechanisms.

The mech pilot just had to take more direct control over the fey that did not contain any living spirit.

This was not a significant challenge to a trained drone mech pilot that had already piloted a more traditional drone mech like the Sparrow Storm in the past.

Once the Fey Fianna took charge of all of the offensive fey, the armor-less machines immediately opened fire with their luminar crystal cannons!

If the targeted Montebra had still been equipped with their full armor loadout, then it would have been able to endure a lot of salvos before anything serious happened. _{ƒrēewebnovel.com}
