Chapter 3840 A New Kind of Simulator
Trying to replace the virtual piloting simulation programs was not a trivial ambition.
It amounted to nothing less than upending the entire industry and market around this product category!
Ves did not think he could succeed in this challenge. He only ca up with this idea just now. Developing it into an actual feature and product demanded a huge amount of ti and effort! It would take decades if not centuries to complete a new practice tool that could completely displace virtual reality programs as the premier choice for ch pilots!
He just wanted to add another selling point to his upcoming comrcial training ch design and possibly his other products as well.
He might even turn it into another staple feature of living chs, one that was explicitly geared towards helping ch pilots improve!
Ves first thought about the strengths and shortcomings of virtual piloting simulator programs and tried to think how his own alternative could provide a superior practice environnt.
He briefly turned his attention back to reality and swept his gaze across Fort Fishblood.
His elevated position granted him a decent view of the recently-erected base. Worker Bees had converted the materials harvested from Violet Ridge on one side of the portal and the Gate Continent on the other side of the portal into additional structural reinforcent.
The Larkinsons had never stopped their construction efforts. Ever since Venerable Tusa ca back with recordings of powerful and highly destructive fish-whales, the construction teams were tasked with strengthening the fortifications of Fort Fishblood.
While they could only provide limited assistance in any battle, a bit more defense was better than nothing. Fort Fishblood turned into a larger, taller and more complete fortification by the day.
Naturally, chs still played a starring role in the defense of this beachhead. While the Larkinsons had begun to dispatch groups of chs in the surrounding environnt, most of them stayed behind and guarded the fort against any possible attacks from the neighboring hordes of Swarr fish.
He spotted the tall and thick Shield of Samar not too far away from the ancient space gate. The expert ch was dormant at the mont but could switch online at any ti.
"Expert pilots have the greatest need for a superior practice environnt."
This was the biggest downside to becoming a demigod!
When expert pilots reached an entirely new life phase, their piloting capabilities far surpassed their previous levels.
Simulators did not beco irrelevant at the expert pilot level. People like Venerable Tusa and Venerable Joshua still needed to spend a lot of ti in simulators in order to polish their basic and fundantal piloting skills to greater heights!
However, the inability for simulators to accurately represent the more taphysical aspects of high-ranking chs ant that expert pilots lacked a complete practice tool.
No matter how many simulated battles they fought, they weren't able to exercise their resonance strength in the slightest!
Aside from that, they weren't able to practice their resonance abilities and other advanced functions of expert chs either. In the long run, their ability to pilot their expert chs might actually regress because the flaws in their practice routine distorted their piloting style!
Ves' eyes shone as he continued to observe the Shield of Samar.
"If I can make a special illusionary simulator that can accurately simulate the full feature set of an expert ch, I can step up the practice of all of my expert pilots!"
This was an incredibly valuable innovation and one that might revolutionize the training pattern of high-ranking ch pilots across human space!
Ves quickly shook his head in order to temper his wild ambition.
Based on his current capabilities, it was impossible for him to construct such a powerful and complete illusionary practice environnt.
Simulating the piloting experience of an ordinary ch was already challenging enough. Doing the sa for a powerful expert ch that not only leveraged true resonance but also pri resonance was an extrely ti-consuming endeavor!
He turned his sights away from the Shield of Samar.
He instead directed his gaze towards the more ordinary chs utilized by his clan. Both the old and new models were special in their own way, but they were far from reaching the exaggerated power levels of his expert chs.
They were much easier for him to simulate, but that didn't an that he could pull it off in his current state.
"I am at the starting line when it cos to implenting this idea. I shouldn't aim too high at the start." Ves reminded himself.
He cast his gaze away from his existing chs and thought back on his upcoming ch design projects.
Out of all of the ones he had in mind, the simplest ch that he could use as a platform for this feature was the comrcial training ch.
The more he thought about it, the more he beca convinced it was the right choice to implent his new idea!
"Training chs are already focused on training ch pilots to begin with, so a new illusionary piloting simulator is not that big of a surprise!"
Training chs were also slower, weaker and less complex in their external performance characteristics.
They did not possess the huge amount of firepower of the Transcendent Punisher nor the compound glow of the Ferocious Piranha.
They were rely simple practice tools that calibrated their performance at a lower level in order to accommodate the limited piloting abilities of ch cadets.
The difficulty of simulating a lower-performing ch with fewer bells and whistles was much lower!
"This is a realistic goal." Ves smiled. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ Frᴇᴇwᴇʙnᴏᴠᴇʟ.ᴄom.
Of course, he still had to invest a lot of ti and effort in this new effort. He needed to start from scratch and conceive of an entirely new application of spiritual design that he had never developed before.
Even if he put in all of that work, there was no guarantee that he would succeed!
"Can I even do this?" Ves wondered to himself.
He did not feel discouraged at this idea. While he originally drew inspiration from this idea by viewing Purgatory in person for the first ti, he did not intend to develop a creation as massive and profound as a real pocket space.
He just wanted to construct a spirituality-based illusionary realm that could provide ch pilots a more effective way of improving their piloting capabilities.
"What is the point of doing this? How will my living chs be able to provide superior training conditions than virtual piloting training programs?"
He thought about the living chs that defined his work. He recalled the complaints from his ch pilots about how the virtual simulators were incapable of allowing them to grow alongside their real living chs.
If his product served as the core or carrier of the spiritual piloting simulator, then Ves might be able to break this constraint!
"This will be a huge step forward for the ch pilots of our clan!"
Ves also had to arrange a complete piloting simulator in spiritual form, of course. This demanded a lot of work and he wasn't sure whether the spiritual foundation of his ch design was able to carry a spiritual construct of this magnitude.
"In theory, it shouldn't be a big deal. The simulator program is just a large collection of programming code. I don't need to create an actual realm in an intangible form.
That was way too far away for Ves! He believed he would have to realize his design philosophy before he could tackle such an ambitious project.
For now, Ves would already be happy if he created a basic, barebones illusionary piloting simulator. The main requirent was that it provided a qualitatively better training environnt with a much higher degree of realism than before.
In this form, the simulator would already allow ch pilots to practice alongside their living chs. Both of them would be able to gain combat experience and deepen each other's relationship towards each other!
This was already a fantastic benefit of his virtual piloting simulator that could not be matched by any virtual piloting simulator! It didn't matter if his own work possessed other limitations due to their lack of maturity.
He could always expand this spiritual training simulator at a later date. His upcoming training ch design would primarily serve as a test platform in order to verify whether his radical new training concept was viable.
Once he created the most basic form of the spiritual piloting simulator and observed how different ch pilots interacted with them, he could derive new conclusions and design more elaborate spiritual piloting simulators for his subsequent products!
"I can even incorporate the growth aspect in the simulator so that it will grow grander and more elaborate over ti!"
A newly-built living ch only possessed a limited amount of strength and carrying capacity for spiritual constructs.
If the living ch grew stronger over ti, the simulator that was embedded into its spiritual foundation would be able to grow and beco profound as well.
Ves might even make it so that its practice sessions beca more attuned to the individual training needs of the ch pilot!
Once his thought reached this point, he felt as if sothing in his mind had clicked. By developing a brand-new spiritual piloting simulator for his comrcial training ch, he finally judged that his crucial training ch design possessed enough added value to stand out in the ch market.
"Being able to provide a considerably more realistic practice environnt is already an undeniable attraction to highly competitive ch academies!"
This was because the spiritual piloting simulator in his mind had the potential to offer more benefits.
Greater realism combined with deeper imrsion gave Ves a chance to address the other major shortcoming of virtual training solutions!
If his spiritual alternative was able to pull the mind of the ch pilot deep enough, the new practice environnt might cause the target in question to experience the illusionary battles as actual life-and-death struggles!
Normally, this was an incredibly difficult attainnt. The best virtual reality developers had failed to co up with a simulator that could make ch pilots forget actual reality to the point where they treated their existences in the virtual environnt as their real lives.
Yet Ves did not believe it was impossible for him to create this condition. His expertise in spiritual engineering was just good enough for him to be able to construct at least a basic form of imrsive illusion.
He just had to lean heavily on the mind-lding and emotional manipulation aspects of his design applications.
If the glows of his ch designs were capable of making a pilot feel awe or fearful, it should be possible for Ves to induce other kinds of emotions in order to raise the stakes of simulated battles!
Ves briefly paused when he thought about the potential dangers to this design application.
"Can I go too far with this? What if a ch pilot becos so deeply imrsed that they prefer to inhabit the lives of their illusionary selves?"
This was not a new problem. There were countless addicts that had completely fallen for the charm of virtual reality gas.
This problem would only grow worse with a more realistic simulation thod. Ves needed to implent a lot of precautions to make sure that the mind of the ch pilot beca clear again after the end of a lengthy illusionary simulation session.
"Maybe… I can reset their minds with the help of Lufa's glow."
This sounded like a great combination!
As Ves continued to think on how to implent all of the specific aspects of his new spiritual piloting simulator, he recognized many different challenges that each needed to be solved in different ways in order to make the entire idea work.
Yet no matter what questions he raised, he was always able to co up with the right answer.
If he wasn't able to solve a problem in the short term, then he would definitely be able to co back to it when he beca a more experienced ch designer!
His passion beca stoked as he beca more certain about implenting this fantastic new innovation in one of his next ch design projects!
"It's viable!"
