In the two months that Ves single-mindedly worked to complete the Amaranto Mark III Project, the Larkinson Clan not only gained a powerful ace pilot, but also gained
possession of the legendary Heavensword.
Just one of these developments was enough to demand his full attention and change his short and medium term plans!
Yet instead of doing so, Ves became a prisoner to his own artificial fixation. The Deep Research Mode simply would not allow him to spare any significant attention to outside developments.
Perhaps the only way to shake him off his months-long fugue was to physically prevent him from doing any more design work, or threatening to take away his life!
Gloriana and the liaisons of the Red Association briefly contemplated this option, but quickly discarded it because of the unforeseen dangers to Ves. Who knew whether he would suffer brain damage or incur massive trauma due to getting forcefully pulled away from his abnormal mental condition.
At least the biotech specialists of the Larkinson Biotech Institute, the Red Association as well as the Phase Lord Department of the Red Collective had become certain that Ves would naturally pull himself out of this state once he finally completed the project.
In this way, each of the parties gained a much more thorough understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of the Deep Research Mode.
Certain theorists even speculated that one of the reasons why the Red Cabal was unable to mobilize as many phase whales to the Red War was because over 80 percent of them had entered into Deep Research Mode for entire centuries if not millenia!
What Ves had put himself under may be far more common among phase whales and certain species of phase lords.
Although the disadvantages were more pronounced than people initially thought, they still understood why the phase whales embraced it a lot.
Ves had truly become a much more effective worker than before. The power of being able to set aside all distractions that were not directly related to his current preoccupation sounded like a simple change, but it was a far-reaching measure that truly ensured he invested all of his potential into his current work.
By reducing the priority of other developments and daily interactions such as spending time with his family, Ves was able to maximize his potential in a way that was virtually impossible to attain by other humans.
Perhaps only the likes of Star Designers were able to produce a similar effect, but that was way too far away for the vast majority of mech designers.
Under this exceptional state, Ves had turned into a much more competent, obedient
and helpful contributor to the Amaranto Mark III Project than before.
As long as Gloriana overlooked the many problematic aspects of the Deep Research State, she had come to fall in love with its effects on Ves.
How could she not like this new version of her husband? He had become the ultimate good boy as far as she was concerned!
He obeyed her instructions without wasting any time on questioning her motivations or theories.
He did not waste time on thinking about strange and unrelated tangents.
He did not insist on implementing his own suboptimal solutions instead.
While Ves still made sure to add his own unique touches to the Amaranto Mark III Project, he solely limited his creative energy to his predefined areas of responsibility. In the past, Ves regularly suggested improvisational solutions that he occasionally produced in his mind on a whim.
His ideas were always inspired, and to his credit his solutions were never truly awful, but Gloriana could not tolerate the constant disruptions and course changes!
She always wanted to work on her mech design projects in an orderly fashion.
The female mech designer rarely managed to get what she wanted whenever she collaborated with Ves.
The problem had been fairly manageable in the early years of their union, but it had grown progressively worse over time.
As Ves became more knowledgeable and experienced in multiple fields of mech design, more and more scattered ideas began to collide with each other in his mind, causing him to develop all kinds of new and unconventional proposals. freeweɓnøvel.com
The vast majority of them were questionable at best. Their compatibility with the actual project at hand was not always good. It was much better if Ves set aside his crazy ideas and reserved them for future variants, or better yet an entirely new mech design
entirely!
living mechs."
The two female mech designers weren't able to come to an accord in their first remote
conversation.
It took multiple arguments spread over multiple days for Gloriana to convince Ketis to reluctantly suspend her scheme and wait for Ves to get his mind back together to cast his verdict on her insolent request.
That moment came closer and closer as the Amaranto Mark III Project finally came to
completion.
At this stage, Ves still disregarded the enormous implications of the rise of Saint Dise and the arrival of the Heavensword.
What was even more outrageous was that the Mech Designer System had already completed its upgrade more than a month ago, yet Ves treated this life-changing event with the same degree of importance as waking up 5 minutes late in the morning! On the day when the upgrade process was scheduled to commence in the private workshop of Diandi Base, Ves spent much of his time going over the upgrade plan as well as the finished mech design to make sure he could execute his assignments as best as
possible. Gloriana, Harry Kaikkonen and Venerable Davia Stark both observed the patriarch of the Larkinson Clan remaining completely absorbed in his own world.
"Are you sure he will do a good job?" The expert pilot skeptically asked.
"I cannot guarantee anything, but his output will probably not disappoint you." Gloriana carefully replied. "If he truly makes a mess of his work, then we will forcefully snap him
out of his state or at the very least remove him from the workshop. I can complete the upgrade process and make sure to preserve the Amaranto's status as a masterwork mech by myself if necessary."
"Will you be able to construct the new Instrument of Vengeance without his assistance?"
"To be honest, I am not certain. The greatest challenge is to properly make and install the Two-Step Execution Crystal, I roughly understand Ves' theories on Ultimate Modules, but I have never tried to make one myself. Hopefully it will not be necessary for me to take action myself."
