Chapter 6393 Fusion Between Technology and Mysticism

Back in the expeditionary fleet, Venerable Jannzi Larkinson looked increasingly more conflicted as Ves paraded her traumatic story to all of red humanity. She crossed her arms and fidgeted in her seat as her eccentric cousin continued to publicize details that she would rather keep under wraps.

"Are you okay, Jannzi?" Venerable Joshua asked with concern. "Ves is airing your story to everyone"

Their relationship with each other may have ended a long time ago, but that did not stop Joshua from caring about his ex-girlfriend's wellbeing.

"I am fine." She said, though her shaking voice made it soon she was anything but okay. "Truly. I expected this to happen. Ves came up to me and asked for permission to do this in advance. As much as I feel embarrassed to publicize my close relationships with the Shield of Samar and the Bastion, I ultimately thought that I shouldn't feel ashamed for feeling this way. Instead, I want to serve as a role model to others and show that forming a permanent relationship with another mech is fantastic."

The other expert pilots sitting around accepted this story. Perhaps Jannzi may have underestimated the impact that this would have on her psyche, but she had multiple reasons to allow this to happen.

"Are you thinking about getting into politics?" Venerable Dise guessed. "I just figured out that presenting your name and story to everyone is a great way to kickstart your career in public service."

Jannzi smirked back. "Maybe. I do not intend to burden myself with greater

responsibilities before I have advanced to ace pilot, but once I have become as strong as Tusa, who knows. I want to make a much greater difference to the clan and to the rest of our society than now. Ves is rapidly being groomed to take charge, but I do not think it is entirely wise to let him run the Red Collective. He needs to be confronted by opposition who actually knows him and understands how he thinks. I am not claiming that I can be a part of that effort, but if the opportunity arises....I will not refuse the offer."

Everyone in the pilot lounge fell silent for a moment.

"You do know that you still need to rely on Ves to update your Bastion, right? Doesn't it seem counterproductive for you to push his buttons while also begging him to improve your living mech?"

Jannzi smiled and shook her head. "Ves will not let his feelings get in the way of his professionalism. That is one trait that. I admire about him. He takes his responsibilities as a mech designer seriously."

While Jannzi dreamed about what she might be doing in the future, Ves continued with his presentation back on La Reina.

Everyone stared at the bold letters that spelled out the initial name of the system that led to this presentation.

"I imagine that you are confused about what 'Empowered Blood Sharing System' exactly means." Ves said with a smile. "It is not that complicated, actually. It is quite a literal description of what I have done to revive and evolve the intimate relationship between Venerable Jannzi and her living mech."

The main projection changed to show the Bastion, before it gradually shifted into a semi-transparent image that showed a part of its interior architecture.

easier for everyone."

That added a lot more credibility to Ves' outlandish statements. It was not a coincidence that the Red Association maintained a heavy presence during this product reveal. Ves was able to take advantage of their stellar credibility to make his story believable!

"I continued to explore this fantastic new design application. After months of design work, I applied a slightly more refined application of my Carmine System to a high-tier expert mech called the Blood Star Mark II"

The projection displayed a substantially different expert space knight. Unlike the Bastion, the Blood Star Mark II possessed a clear offensive focus.

"Those who took the initiative to investigate the background of this expert mech should already notice a glaring discrepancy. The pilot, my grandfather, was a former expert pilot who sustained serious brain damage during a war in the previous age. This crippling injury has devastated him. He lost the ability to interface with his expert mech or any other mech. This resulted in a cascade of failures as his inability to pilot mechs means that he cannot fulfill his promises that he has made as a loyal soldier of the Bright. Republic. Most of you should be aware of the consequences of that. My grandfather became crippled and had no choice to retire from service... until I completed the Blood

Star Mark II."

The projection changed to show a partial cross-section of the cockpit.

"As you can see, the Blood Star Mark II is special in that it does not come with a neural interface at all. I did not bother to include it because I bet that my grandfather can regain his willpower by interfacing with his new expert mech with the Carmine System. Since the records show that my grandfather has since regained his power as an expert pilot and fought in many battles at the frontlines, my attempts have clearly succeeded." Many people started to breathe heavier and faster. The Carmine System sounded more and more promising!

"Now, I am cognizant that two success cases does not necessarily prove the value of the Carmine System to the general audience. What if it only works for high-ranking mech pilots? This is where the Red Association has proven to be helpful. In order to verify that my Carmine System can also benefit other people, the mechers have conducted many secret tests with prototype Carmine mechs. The results that I am about to show you may be shocking to the extreme, but the mechers completely stand by their studies." Everyone grew silent as they did not want to miss a word of what Ves would say next! "I don't think many of you would like to read through thousands of pages of dense and boring academic texts, so let me summarize the results. The Blood Pact created with

the help of the Carmine System has proven to be an effective alternate control system for mechs. Low-ranking mech pilots can not only use it to control their mechs by itself, but can also combine it with the man-machine connection generated by the neural interface to raise their effective genetic aptitude, up to a limit."

That certainly aroused the attention of existing mech pilots, but Ves had more to say.

"What is more interesting is when we put norms with no history of mech piloting in the cockpits of the prototype mechs. When they successfully forge their Blood Pacts with their lifelong bound Carmine mechs, they have proven to be able to control their mechs in very similar ways, though with much less skill due to their lack of professional piloting

training."

Ves had dumped such a shocking revelation to his massive audience that the truth of his

words had yet to sink into their minds!
