The Mech Touch novel Chapter 7189

Chapter 7189: An Accidental Discovery

What the Divine Harpoon asked from him was a bit much.

It was like asking the Oscillating Fist to hand over the secret to how he was able to shake internal organs apart whenever he punched another phase lord!

Demanding to learn another person’s trade secrets was taboo in both the mech industry and many other fields!

Yet… it was undeniable that letting the Ascended Giants master and make extensive use of the Sacrificial Spear Throwing Method would undoubtedly benefit them a lot.

This was a special means for phase lords to inflict massive damage by throwing the cultivation equivalent of an explosive munition.

While Ves could argue that the Ascended Giants could attain similar effects by carrying missile launchers into battle, the damage potential of most missiles at this scale would not be able to match the potency of a good-quality sacrificial spear.

“Your request is problematic.” Ves answered through Blinky as the silence dragged on for a bit. “You should be aware that the method to make this happen is anything but unusual. One of its traits is that it is hard to detect any object that is built to produce a powerful blast. If our secret method gets leaked… not only will random people be able to throw initially unassuming stuff around that can breach the hull of starships or cause a space station to rupture from the inside.”

The Divine Harpoon acknowledged the potential for damage that this action could precipitate.

“The fact that you are concerned about such matters is proof that you care to a certain extent. What I am asking for you is indeed a serious demand, but that is the best way for us to ascertain whether you are sincere about assuming stewardship over the Ascended Giants. You should understand that sharing your remarkable method of throwing exploding spears can do much more good if you share it to all Ascended Giants. We will not force you to do so, but choosing to keep it to yourself will send a different message to the men and women you hope to lead.”

That did not sound good.

It became clear to Ves that the shrewd strategos of the Faceless Giants intended to put the challenger on the spot.

Many Ascended Giants had indeed taken a liking for his 35-AP spear throwing method.

It might not be worth that much in absolute terms, but it was practically perfect for the Ascended Giants!

They were able to reach more and more exaggerated proportions as they made more attainments in phase lord body cultivation.

This would allow them to wield increasingly larger and more destructive spears.

Even if they were made out of cheaper alloys in order to save on costs, the spear could still produce a powerful enough explosion as long as its volume was large enough!

The potency of the Sacrificial Spear Throwing Method would only grow higher in the future.

Lesser phase lords were only able to scale up so much.

Greate phase lords reached much more exaggerated proportions. They were already able to approach the size of small to medium-sized moons.

When they were large enough to generate their own gravity wells, what would happen if they launched massive sacrificial spears at a planet?

The globe would definitely suffer an extinction event!

Of course, the cost and effort needed to construct even a single massive spear was prohibitive.

Ves doubted that there was any production facility in the Red Ocean that could fully mass produce such an insane product.

He threw aside such unrealistic notions. There was no need to entertain such ridiculous thoughts to realize the greater value of the Sacrificial Spear Throwing Method.

“What do you think?” Ves privately asked his alter ego.

“Do it.” The Dark Apostle straightforwardly said. “I don’t like to share my toys, but… if I have to choose between keeping the Sacrificial Spear Throwing Method to myself and winning over the Ascended Giants, I would choose the latter every time. There is no comparison between the two. So what if others will be able to throw exploding spears? Hyper technology and E-technology is never exclusive to us. From the moment we showed off what was possible, the Red Cabal and all of the other powers have probably started their own research groups dedicated towards replicating what we have done. Sacrificial spears aren’t as difficult to replicate as living mechs, so they will succeed sooner or later.”

He made a good point. Ves also took into account that since the Mech Designer System was able to provide a copy of the Sacrificial Spear Throwing Method, other copies may be available elsewhere. Ves was not stupid enough to believe that he obtained the only copy.

“Very well. Since this is the case, I will allow you to make the trade. It is a pity to give up exclusivity on this method so soon, but it may be for the best. Just think of how much more powerful the Ascended Giants will be once they all carry around the same exploding spears. This will be an expensive arms program, but the results will speak for themselves.”

The other Ascended Giants shouldn’t be able to produce explosions as powerful as the one that trounced the Unshakeable King.

The spear that Ves sacrificed was not only comprised of lots of high-grade fire hypers and other expensive materials, but had also turned into a D-arm.

There was no feasible way for Ves to hand over such D-arms to his Ascended Giants en masse.

Fortunately, the scale of these weapons were fairly small. Most of the Ascended Giants had not made that much progress in their body cultivation, but that would change over time.

Once they became as tall as biological juggernauts, any spear they threw should be able to strip the spatial barriers of most lesser phase lords upon impact!

Not that this would be strictly necessary. Ves already formulated plans to equip the Ascended Giants with superdimensional arms.

This was a massive expenditure that the Larkinson Clan would have to cover, but the gains should be more than satisfactory.
