The Mech Touch Chapter 3724 The Power Of Youth

After seven days of constant and diligent work, the Minerva Project reached completion!

What was more, it had beco a masterwork ch!

As soon as Commander Casella Ingvar symbolically baptized the expert command ch with her blood, everyone already understood that sothing remarkable was about to happen.

Every ch pilot and ch designer in the workshop looked reverently at the completed Minerva Project as it began to undergo a mysterious transformation.

Ves, Gloriana, Juliet, Sara and their external consultant Professor Benedict had managed to accomplish the unlikely and succeeded in creating another masterwork out of an expert ch!

This outco completely shocked the only Senior ch Designer who took part in this project. Not only did this remarkable outco defy all of the odds, he had actually played an integral part in making it possible!

"I did this… for a ch I did not play a leading role…"

The Minerva Project was first and foremost a Larkinson ch, so the older man had to hold himself back. He was unable to apply as many of his unique design solutions to the ch design as he wished, so he initially did not care as much about the project as he should.

Much of that had changed at the end of the project. The inspiration he gained from working alongside the likes of Ves and sharing the joys and expectations of the younger Larkinson ch designers over the course of the fabrication run had completely changed his ntality towards his work.

The Minerva Project beca more than a commission to him. It beca a point of pride and a work that he genuinely wanted to succeed.

"Since when did I care so much?"

Through the influences passed on by the design network, Professor Benedict had gradually opened himself up to the feelings of the other ch designers.

They wanted Commander Casella to do well. They wanted the Minerva Project to beco another champion ch that could protect their fellow clansn. They wanted their work to beco a masterwork ch because they assud it was possible for them to attain this goal.

Before he knew it, Benedict had turned into a reflection of his younger self. It was surprising how much a bunch of Journeyn had caused him to adjust to them. The opposite usually took place!Pa nda

Novel As each of the ch designers beca fascinated by the subtle transformation of the Minerva Project, Professor Benedict temporarily threw aside his distractions and imrsed himself in what he could gain from his observations.

"Amazing…"

The Senior felt as if he reacquainted himself with the magic of delivering an excellent ch. How long had it been since he felt so accomplished and fulfilled about his product?

Seeing Commander Casella Ingvar bloom with joy made him happier. He had completed his purpose and delivered the best possible ch to his client. Even though he had done this many tis over the decades he was active as a ch designer, he rarely if ever interacted with his clients directly in recent tis.

This experience was a reminder of how keeping in touch with his custors could give his work more aning.

"I shouldn't have looked down on any of them. Their skills might not be as good as mine, but their confidence is crucial."

His diligence and his decision to be more accepting of the attitudes of the Larkinson ch designers paid off. Professor Benedict derived nurous little lessons from the masterwork transformation that provided him with a little more confidence in his ability to advance to Master.

At the very least, Professor Benedict could already think of a few ways to improve the performance of his upcoming Mars Project!

Even if he didn't derive any clear lessons from the Minerva Project's ascension to a masterwork ch, just the increase in his ch affinity was a valuable gift.

When Professor Benedict closed his eyes, he could feel the powerful ch a bit more clearly than before. He knew that he could gain an even better understanding of a ch even if he did not employ a scanner.

"How useful."

ch affinity was a vague subject even for a Senior of his stature. It was an inherent quality that every qualified ch designer possessed, yet it was not a trait that could clearly be asured or defined.

There were certain people that used ch affinity as an indicator for talent in ch design, but this was far from the only variable that determined one's success in the ch industry.

There were brilliant ch designers who started off with low affinities but worked themselves up through hard work and thinking outside the box.

There were also ch designers who easily advanced to Senior by relying on their raw talent and excellent affinity, only to hit a wall that prevented them from getting an easy ride to Master.

At that point, it was no longer enough to rely so heavily on intuition and feelings to design better chs! ch designers needed to go outside their comfort zone where the most obvious answers weren't the best anymore.

As far as Professor Benedict knew, ch affinity was not an essential trait and could easily be substituted with knowledge and experience.

It was nice to have, though.

With all of the satisfaction he derived from making a brilliant masterwork ch after such a long ti, the fact that his affinity and intuitive understanding of chs beca better was a sweet reward.

"We finally succeeded again! It's about ti you stopped holding back!" Gloriana exclaid as the results validated her supre confidence in her skills and fueled her conceit even further. "I'm about to receive my sixth masterwork certificate! Sixth!"

The others were happy about their work as well. Each of them had contributed a little bit towards turning the Minerva Project into a more powerful ch.

"It's not just a masterwork ch. It's also a third-order living ch." Ves uttered as he beca engrossed with exploring the newborn ch's expanded personality.

Of all of the ch designers that took part in this run, Sara Voiken obtained the most benefits, especially given how little she brought to the table.

With no masterwork certificates under her belt, it was undeniable that she hadn't played a decisive role. Yet her excellent teamwork and the euphoria she brought after getting hit by a hamr played a helpful role in getting them closer.

To be honest, Professor Benedict hadn't imagined that the Minerva Project could go this far even at the very end. The parts the ch designers fabricated were good in quality but were not particularly exceptional aside from their greater uniformity and cohesion.

The assembly phase proceeded fairly well as well, but no one had shown a lot of brilliance during the last two days.

It was only when the Minerva Project was in its final hours that Benedict had an inkling that it might turn into a remarkable machine. Even then, the odds shouldn't have been that good!

When Professor Benedict looked back on how they all spent the last seven days, he ford a tentative conclusion.

"Emotions make all of the difference."

An older ch designer like himself had grown steadier over the years. While this was good in maintaining a consistent level of performance, it had also made it difficult for him to exceed his previous performance levels.

It was only when the Larkinson ch designers infected him with their youthful confidence that he had broken his own pattern.

He derived a great lesson from this experience!

"The power of youth is more useful than I expected!"

He should have collaborated more with younger ch designers if this was one of the benefits he could receive. It was harder for him to maintain his drive and passion towards improving his craft by himself. The erosion of years kept pushing him into taking it easy, but he resisted this urge as best he could.

This was why this experience affected him so much. He reinvigorated his passion in ch design by getting affected by the power of youth!

"I should collaborate more often with younger and less experienced ch designers!"

Professor Benedict recognized that it was likely difficult to replicate all of the boosts he received during this fabrication run. The absence of a design network was a major hindrance to replicating the incredible degree of coordination that he and the Larkinsons displayed.

However, plenty of ch designers were able to achieve success without resorting to such a trick. The Senior was highly confident in his ability to find his own way to derive strength from the power of youth in the future.

"Maybe it is ti for to go back to ntoring the younger generation of ch designers again."

He had ntored up-and-coming ch designers that displayed talent in the past. However, back then he never realized that he could lean on their youthful vigor and ignorance to rejuvenate his own attitude towards ch design.

The gains didn't outweigh the costs to him back then. He thought differently, now.

As Professor Benedict turned his attention back to deciphering how their design team had succeeded in turning the Minerva Project into a masterwork ch, he recalled the impressive degree of confidence that the Larkinson ch designers displayed.

"Confidence is the key here." He hypothesized.

Earlier, he thought that Gloriana was foolish for assuming that she could make a masterwork ch just because she assud that she would succeed.

No other Journeyman could be so conceited, yet Gloriana thought in the depths of her heart that she could do better than many Seniors and Masters!

The fact that her absurd attitude did not drag the Minerva Project down was surprising to Benedict.

It caused him to question his own assumptions towards making chs. Was it truly right to maintain a more sober and skeptical attitude towards his work?

"Overestimating one's capabilities is not desirable… unless it stimulates us into rising up to the occasion!"

There was a na for this type of phenonon.

If Professor Benedict's analysis of the situation was correct, then the truth did not necessarily matter.

This was because Gloriana and her fellow ch designers engaged in their own self-fulfilling prophecy!

They strongly believed in their ideal outco and used it as a target for them to work towards. Although their target was insanely difficult to reach, their assumption that they could reach it caused them to work hard to et their inflated expectations!

This eventually caused them to put in far more effort and emotion into their work, which ultimately caused their 'prophecy' to co true!

"The wonders of youth."

Gloriana actually taught Professor Benedict a valuable lesson with her display of fanaticism and conceit.

Though the Senior ch Designer did not regard her personality traits highly, their ability to warp her expectations was imnsely high!

This was a classical case of making the improbable happen by believing in it hard enough.

The difference here was that the difficulty in doing so was a lot higher!

Although the concept sounded easy enough, Professor Benedict knew that it was practically impossible for other Journeyman ch Designers to succeed with this thod.

They needed to believe with all of their hearts and minds that they could successfully create a masterwork ch, yet how could they truly accept this belief when they had never made this accomplishnt beforehand?

Only abnormal personalities such as Ves and Gloriana succeeded in overcoming this imnsely difficult hurdle.

As long as they succeeded once, they would definitely be able to succeed again! This was because their absurdly high confidence in their own abilities had a basis in truth, however small!

"I cannot even imagine how they managed to succeed in the beginning. How could they have possibly passed the initial hurdle?" He puzzlingly frowned.

Regardless, Professor Benedict had beco inspired by the effectiveness of this approach.

Perhaps even a Senior like himself could adopt the sa mindset over the impossible challenge that hindered his advancent to Master.

"If I think I deserve to be a Master hard enough, then I will likely get closer to realizing my ambitions!"
