The Mech Touch novel Chapter 7345

Chapter 7345: Dr. Gabriella Chamois

The Dark Apostle fought hard during the battle earlier, and now it was Ves’ turn to put up a good fight.

Even if Ves did not strictly belong on the battlefield, that did not necessarily mean that his life was devoid of struggle.

Politics could be just as contentious as actual warfare!

Many rights, resources and opportunities were at stake today.

Although the Larkinson Clan had already formed an initial agreement with the big players about concessions, such a hasty and informal deal could not be completely relied upon.

They could not dispute the core terms, but they could still gain advantages by fiddling with the details.

Ves needed to assert his rights and authority if he wanted to prevent the other parties from nibbling away at them.

Only by putting up a firm demeanor would he be able to protect the concessions that he rightfully earned through his work and sacrifices.

Everyone present was smart enough to know that, so Ves did not envision any problems in this regard, especially since he knew over half of the people here in person.

In a situation where both sides understood each other’s intentions, neither of them would be stupid enough to try anything foolish.

This meant that Ves only needed to show a specific attitude in order to steer the discussion to a more beneficial direction.

Before he arrived, it looked as if Commodore Zonrad Reze had subtly taken the lead.

This should not be a surprise.

Eric Manot and Gabriella Chamois did not enjoy a high status within their organizations. They should be ranked at the lower-middle of their respective hierarchies. They were important enough to wave the flag, but not enough to dominate the discussion.

Andrea Vos used to be a highly accomplished academician who specialized in mathematics, theoretical physics and humanist philosophy before she embraced the profession of a formation master.

Compared to the others, she belonged to an older generation and possessed much more qualifications. Not just any scientists could climb her way up to become the dean of a university department.

That she managed to beat out many highly intelligent competitors proved that her political acumen was not small!

However, it was exactly because of her cleverness that she maintained a more low-key and subdued demeanor today.

Not only was she ’outranked’ by Ves, but the Red Collective she hailed from was too new and fractured.

Still, it didn’t matter too much if she had to take a backseat. The Red Collective represented a broad swathe of people. It would always gain a share of the research results no matter the outcome. How much depended upon whether their expertise and specializations could play a useful role in the research project.

Everyone began to take their seats at the table. A moment of silence passed as they all waited for Ves to open his mouth.

He was not in a hurry to talk. He had concluded a battle not too long ago. The exertion of having to monitor everything while simultaneously casting curses on a massive Goliath had taken a spiritual toll on him. Even with the benefit of his companion spirit’s powerful support, he could not help but feel weary after hours of tense strategizing and combat.

Compared to what he faced on the battlefield, a simple meeting like this seemed a lot more trivial in comparison.

He sensed a similar mood among Commodore Zonrad Reze and Formation Master Andrea Vos.

Both of them were senior leaders who were in charge of their respective military detachments.

They had played an integral role in leading their units and helping the Rubarthans defeat the voribugs.

Still, their duty had not ceased now that the fighting had come to an end.

Out of all of them, Sigrund bore the most pressure. The Ixith Goliath’s existence unveiled a hidden side of technology that no human had ever conceived in the past.

So long as the researchers could fully decipher the strange biotechnologies invented by the mutated voribugs and devise a coherent theory from their subsequent experimentations, the existence of willpower-carrying warships became possible!

Such a vessel was no longer a fantasy anymore!

Although no hard proof existed at this time that red humanity possessed the capacity to realize such a radical concept, that did not stop the Red Fleet from raising the priority of this matter to the highest level!

In fact, Ves was aware that the tier 1 galactic citizens such as the fleet admirals and the Star Designers handled the real negotiations.

Commodore Reze only needed to ensure that the others did not quietly sneak the research specimen away or engaged in other dubious activities.

Aside from that, given his secret alien origins, Ves suspected that the humanized AI may be able to make substantially more contributions to the research project than anyone else suspected.

It had been years since Ves last thought about the sandman race, but now that he thought back on the Sand War, it appeared that the sandman race had a few things in common with the distributed intelligence behind the Ixith Goliath.

Although the two races were still very much different, Ves strongly believed that as long as they utilized the same model of controlling large amounts of weak subordinates, their methods should have many parallels!

This meant that Ves could not afford to ignore Commodore Reze’s input for that reason.
