The Mech Touch novel Chapter 5593

Chapter 5593 Novastella

The product reveal had come to an end, but Ves was not ready to depart from Bortele III.

As a major military and industrial hub, the Bortele System attracted a lot of people, goods, groups, companies and more.

Lots of salvage from many different battlefields constantly trickled in from time to time. Even the latest incident related to Ves could not stop the local economy from booming.

Ves could get a lot of stuff done on this planet. It would be a waste for him to depart too early.

Alexa Streon had already begun the process of headhunting another batch of second-class Journeyman Mech Designers.

Now that Ves received several reminders why it was important for him to remain active in the second-class mech industry, he did not want to neglect this business at all. The profit levels might not be as great compared to running a successful first-class mech business, but the quantity of units sold was much greater!

Volume was quite important to many mech designers. One of the reasons why first-class mech designers occasionally designed second-class mechs that were ordinarily beneath them was because it was a lot easier to sell millions of copies.

The first-class mech market was a lot smaller. Not only that, but the level of competition was a lot higher, making it so that the bigger players left much less room for independent businesses to thrive.

Ves knew that he could not rely on the various reputation boosts to forcibly carve out a place in the first-class mech market. The customers over there were much more demanding and discerning. No amount of hype could compensate for inferior performance.

Seeing that it was way more challenging for a mech designer to get started in the first-class mech market, Ves needed to ensure that his LMC remained active and healthy in the second-class mech market.

This was rather challenging when many of the lead designers of the Design Department had gone off to undergo EdNet training.

"Several years must have passed from their perspective." Ves mused as his hands idly played with Emma's metal container. "By the time they come out a few years later, they have already mentally aged by 20 years." _{freewebnøvel.com}

The changes would be massive. Relatively young and vigorous Journeymen such as Sara Voiken and Cormaunt Hempkamp would lose a lot of the restlessness and spontaneity that characterized their age.

In return, they would come out with all of the knowledge in advanced science and engineering that they managed to cram in their heads for 20 straight years.

This was definitely a great tradeoff to most second-class mech designers. It was a surefire way for them to quickly gain the qualifications to design first-class mech designs. It would have been unlikely for them to gain this precious opportunity through other means.

Yet... Ves still did not forward to the prospect of using an EdNet quota himself.

The main reason why he rejected it was because he did not want to isolate himself from reality during an important moment in history.

However, Ves had to admit that he also feared the loss of the traits that would only stay with him for so long.

The older he became, the harder it became for him to just set aside his rationality and give in to his emotional desires.

Many people usually saw this as a character flaw, but Ves did not share the same opinion.

He designed many of his best works during moments of intense passion!

While Ves did not think he would ever lose the ability to get inspired, he suspected that it might not happen as frequently in the future.

The longer he lived, the more he became burdened by knowledge and concerns.

How long would it take for him to transition into an old fogey who spent most of his time thinking about problems relating to the survival and prosperity of red humanity?

"Ignorance is bliss." He sighed.

Ves looked down at the metal cat statue that the Destroyer of Worlds had gifted to him. The object radiated a clear sense of warmth and threat.

The large spiritual fragment donated by Emma was so powerful that if he could blow it up somehow, the resulting spiritual blast would be powerful enough to kill his weaker design spirits!

It was literally a weapon of mass destruction packaged in a small metal ornament!

He couldn't allow this fragment to fall into the wrong hands.

"At least I don't have to worry about using it up too quickly." He smirked.

Perhaps Irene had become annoyed at the fact that Ves used up the initial spiritual fragment of Emma too quickly.

If Ves no longer had a fragment at his side, then there was no way for the Destroyer of Worlds to pull him out of danger!

The large spiritual fragment that contained a fraction of the essence of a True God neatly addressed this shortcoming.

Compared to the more ordinary spiritual fragments that Ves handled in the past, he noticed that his latest one had many more useful traits that he appreciated. He also managed to figure out several powerful new uses for this remarkably valuable gift.

"You're actually replenishing your energy level over time." He observed.

Blinky could clearly observe the small energy vortex surrounding the container. It sucked in the destruction-attributed energy from the environment and gradually strengthened the fragment further.

If this process took place long enough, then the large spiritual fragment might one day reach the stage where Emma could be reborn after death!

Of course, the resurrection of a True God-level entity was anything but simple. The energy requirements were so large that the fragment would have to keep absorbing energy for millions of years.

"The absorption rate is too low." Ves frowned.

That meant that if he used up the energy contained in the fragment for various purposes, he would have to wait a long time for it to replenish its reserves.

The main reason why its efficiency was so low was because there was not that much destruction energy floating around in the background.

Perhaps that might change once the Destroyer of Worlds started to act like a demonic cultivator and left a trail of shattered planets in her wake, but for now the local galactic environment was in a state of relative prosperity.

In any case, as long as Ves made sparing use of the spiritual fragment, he did not have to worry about causing it to disappear. He just had to wait a few months or years to recharge and return to its former state.
