The Mech Touch novel Chapter 7618

Chapter 7618: Consultation on Policy

After filling Isobel Kotin in on the changes made to the final design of her next machine, Ves was just about to head over to the workshop.

He stopped shortly after he received an alert.

"Hm?"

The inconvenient timing did not stop him from adjusting his route. He ascended a few decks before he entered one of the offices that a certain liaison from the Red Association had claimed for himself.

"Hello Jovy. It has been a while since we last met in person. What is it that you demanded for a meeting ’at my earliest convenience’?"

The friend he made a long time ago turned from his projected display of an unfamiliar mech design.

From what Ves could see, the design clearly came from Jovy’s hand. It possessed his characteristic touches and clearly conveyed his probabilistic-dependent design philosophy.

As far as he could tell, the design centered around an unusual first-class mech that possessed a distinctly non-humanoid form factor. The machine’s strange shape sacrificed the ability to move and fight like a normal human in order to maximize the performance of its main cannons.

The mech possessed dual cannons that were apparently designed to launch canisters at very long ranges, far beyond the usual limitations of regular guns of this nature.

This was why Jovy designed a dedicated platform. This machine had to abide by strict limitations on mass, dimensions and cost while raising the performance of its guns as much as possible.

Ves had an idea why. When it came to weapons like these dual cannons, the key parameters did not lie in the weapons themselves, but their payloads.

The projected design already outlined a couple of key details of the canisters. They were not only designed to be a lot thicker and more robust, but the most important parameter by far was that they were expressly configured to hold hundreds of tiny superdimensional shards!

Of course, not even Jovy was wasteful enough to dedicate high-grade superdimensional matter for such a purpose.

It was already enough to make the shards out of the cheapest and most abundant low-grade superdimensional matter.

The Red Association and other partners periodically harvested huge amounts of structure-grade superdimensional matter in the Blue Dimension.

It was by far the most prevalent form of matter inside this abnormal slice of reality.

Although it was technically superdimensional, the abysmally low base parameters of the underlying materials made it very impractical for use in anything outside of large buildings and fortifications.

Nonetheless, using it as the basis of disposable ammunition might actually be viable, but only after heavy processing.

It was hard to imagine that Jovy’s mechs would be able to justify the cost of all of this effort.

The only way this could make sense was if Jovy’s design philosophy could influence the trajectories of all of those shards to deliberately strike the weak points of an enemy target.

Ves was familiar enough with the RA Senior Mech Designer’s work that he could somehow increase the ’luck’ of his products.

Compared to other mechs, his own works had a small but measurably higher hit rate while also being able to survive potentially fatal blows.

If the same principles applied to those superdimensional shards, then Ves could easily see how well Jovy’s mechs could turn into effective flyswatters!

The high attack rates of their dual cannons along with their generous ammunition capacity meant that they could easily be used to strike down a decent number of fast and agile strike craft at comfortable distances.

What was even more impressive was that Jovy’s mechs could also pose a threat against warships and even lesser phase lords so long as the enemies did not possess superdimensional defenses themselves!

Ves briefly developed the urge to collaborate with Jovy on this design, or steal the entire concept and design his own version!

He inwardly shook his head.

Neither of these actions sounded appropriate. His clan also did not have an acute need for such a specialized machine.

Jovy casually gestured with his hand to shut off the projection. It was as if he did not intentionally want to show off his latest ’homework assignment’ to a fellow Senior Mech Designer.
