The Mech Touch
Chapter 6504 Talent Factory
Ves was not in a hurry to design his Polymetal mech.
He wanted to accrue more experience by designing other Carmine mechs first and learn how different people adapted to their own machines.
He was much more focused on designing a set of proper Carmine mechs that could service the needs of both part-time and full-time Carmine mech pilots.
He had two overall segments in mind for his next projects.
The first group was children around the age of 10. While they were limited to piloting just 'one' machine, Ves still felt it was worthwhile to educate them in the traditional way. At least, the mech academies should test the talent and qualities of the Carmine mech cadets to filter out the incompetent and focus on raising elites that would otherwise disappear due to their inadequate genetic aptitudes.
The end goal was not to raise a large army of elite Carmine mech pilots that could only fight so long as their Biodomes remained intact.
The real purpose for investing in them and drawing out their potential was to produce as many breakthroughs as possible!
Unlike qi cultivation, willpower cultivation did not depend on an orderly process.
Only by making the Carmine mech pilots persist in their training and throwing them in all kinds of life-and-death would they be able to sublimate their willpower.
The reason why ace pilots and god pilots were so rare in the Age of Mechs was because the total population of mech pilots was limited from the beginning.
Only 3.5 percent of the population had the potential to pilot mechs, but the proportion of actual mech pilots was smaller than that due to many reasons.
Now that the existence of the Carmine System opened up mech piloting to the rest of the population, a huge amount of people gained the opportunity to step onto the path of godhood!
The next Carmine mech design project that Ves had in mind was precisely meant to facilitate this process!
Ves briefly paused when he realized that the goals of his Rule Breaker Project overlapped with his current idea.
He inwardly shook his head.
The two may possess a few similarities, but they were ultimately different in many ways.
Unlike the MW Carmine mechs that he intended to design in a hurry, the RO Carmine mechs that he was formulating with the help of his wife were supposed to be based on much more proper and safer design principles.
The Red Ocean was his primary mech market. He had no thoughts about defying the laws of the Red Association. The mechers over here were his allies, so it was incredibly stupid to test their bottom line.
Ves needed to make sure he kept his thoughts about his RO mech design projects separate from his MW mech design projects. It would be catastrophic if he mixed them up by accident!
After a bit of effort, Ves managed to set aside his momentary confusion and focus on what was important.
If Harry Kaikkonen could overcome all of these difficulties and achieve his own breakthroughs in the field of luminar crystal technology, then Ves felt much more reassured about letting him take the lead on this important. Carmine mech design
project.
"I didn't know that he had made so much progress." Ves admitted. "Serves you right for underestimating our Journeymen." Gloriana smugly grinned. "We are not the only mech designers of our generation to excel. You originally recruited all of
those young and talented Journeymen from the Fey Shaper Contest and other places in order to turn my Design Department into a talent factory. Enough time has passed for the most notable and hard-working among them to produce certain results. While I am not confident that Mr. Kaikkonen will be able to advance to the rank of Senior Mech Designer within the next 5 years, he is already considerably more useful than an average Journeyman."
Ves felt amazed that Harry was able to make so much progress in so little time.
He felt he had grown too arrogant as of late. It was not a good development for him to
feel that he had grown so quickly that he had left all of the Journeymen of the Design Department in the dust.
In truth, the gap between Ves and the Journeymen shouldn't be as vast as he thought. The latter were constantly working hard to improve and close the gap. That was expressly why Ves and the Larkinson Clan recruited them. Those without talent and growth potential shouldn't have been able to get in the first place.
Perhaps Ves had been shouldering too many responsibilities by himself to remember that he had gathered a lot of capable subordinates by his side.
Ves mistakenly assumed that only he, Gloriana, Ketis, Alexa and most recently Romanda were the only mech designers in the Design Department that could lead serious design
projects. However, the over 25 or so other second-class Journeymen that he had recruited during his past business trips were no pushovers either.
Now that they all had access to systematic cultivation, it should be a lot easier than ever
for them to break the shackles of their second-rater limitations and quickly master a lot
of new knowledge!
"I will have a good talk with him tomorrow." Ves promised to his wife. "At least the decision on who to appoint as the lead designer for the swordsman mech version of a Carmine training and combat mech is clear from the beginning. No one else but Ketis is qualified to take charge on this project. I won't pick a Master who is specialized in designing swordsman mech over a genuine swordmaster."
Gloriana had no objections to this choice. "Ketis will be happy to hear your decision. She
will want to do the best job possible in order to prepare the finest Carmine swordsman mech for Kirian. Her son is roughly as old as Andraste, so the two will most definitely
benefit from her work."
Ketis was also a Journeyman Mech Designer, but neither Ves nor Ketis had reasons to belittle the Swordmaiden for that. Her dual professions made it so that no one dared to underestimate her swordsman mech designs.
The two continued their discussion about how they should tackle the two upcoming Carmine mech design projects. They ended up staying awake past midnight and only reluctantly surrendered themselves to sleep in order to recover their mental balance.
