The Mech Touch novel Chapter 7610

Chapter 7610: Artifact Exchange

Ves and Andraste had become much more acquainted with the novel new technologies introduced by the deathborn.

The selection of artifacts opened their eyes and gave them a taste of deathborn creations.

If these gadgets served as a somewhat accurate representation of the deathborn tech base, then it was clear that these undead ghosts did not make use of ’conventional’ metals and electronics like red humanity.

However, as much as Ves grew fond of the research potential of these devices, it was still difficult for Ves to derive much satisfaction from possessing them. Any design applications derived from studying their working principles would probably take at least a few years to become available. Research institutions always worked with timetables that stretched across years. The more ambitious studies could easily drag on for decades or in rare cases centuries!

Although red humanity undoubtedly stood to harvest a lot of gains from thoroughly studying and digesting all of these deathborn technological remains, none of that provided much help to Ves in the short term!

The most surefire way to change this was to sell the Larkinson Clan’s share of the very rich spoils.

Perhaps Ves may be a little too lacking in patience to wait so long, but other groups possessed this quality in abundance.

The Larkinsons could easily sell a few container’s worth of deathborn junk to the Terran Alliance or other highly interested powers.

Ves had already heard that a strong bidding war had already erupted in the background. The higher-ups had already pre-allocated specific items and other goods to different research institutions.

The scientists working at these labs all felt grateful for being able to study novel alien technological objects, but they could never have enough.

They yearned for more. The eggheads preferably wanted to obtain multiple copies of the same type of item, or many objects that possessed shared functions and characteristics.

Having multiple similar items in their possession significantly increased their research speed and efficiency.

They directly gain more redundancy, allowing them to perform deeper and riskier examinations without the fear of breaking anything irreplaceable.

The researchers would also be able to derive more insights when studying small or large variations between similar alien technological applications.

There were many examples in human civilization’s history where its researchers managed to achieve technological breakthroughs within record time due to securing a rich amount of alien spoils!

A research project centered around studying a single ’acceleration boot’ might drag on for a decade due to the lack of samples.

However, if the same researchers gained access to 5 more acceleration boots, their progress might accelerate so much that they could achieve the same results within a single year!

Given how much everyone was in a hurry to strengthen their forces in this day and age, it was absolutely essential

That made the current spoils distribution so problematic. Every major power wanted to obtain at least one copy out of every family of deathborn artifacts. After all, nobody knew for certain whether the total value of an acceleration boot vastly exceeded that of a reinforcement band or vice versa.

The current examinations sought to shine a light on the objects in the hopes of clarifying their secrets, but they remained far too cursory for the time being.

Much of their secrets still remained shrouded in mystery.

This was a problem because none of the big players wanted to suffer a loss because they mistakenly looked down on a hidden gem.

Therefore, logic dictated that they should secure at least one item out of every distinct category of alien devices.

Yet that sparked another problem. Once they secured a single copy, they automatically began to yearn for additional ones.
