Ves' mood had beco a lot less burdened by depression the day after he had lost the Elental Lord.
He initially thought that he would remain affected by the grief and loss of losing such a precious creation, but Veronica's most recent conversation with Cynthia changed everything!
Now that his expanded mind beca filled with a lot of ssy and complicated thoughts about heavenly authorities, his relationships with the three galaxies, the factors that determined the strength of lightning tribulations and the endless depth of multi-elental cultivation, he had beco way too distracted to pay much attention to his failure!
While the premature death and loss of the Elental Lord still weighed heavily on Ves, he no longer beca stuck in the past.
Instead, all of the explosive revelations from his mother had firmly set his sights to the future!
New issues, new threats and new possibilities lood in the distance. Ves grew excited at the thought of tackling them so that he could ultimately design much stronger chs than the ones he developed before.
"There is a lot more to hyper technology and E-technology than what I have used before."
Ves felt more ashad of his precious forays into hyper chs.
The Lionheart, the Blood Star Mark II and most notably the Elental Lord all appeared to leverage the power of different elents, but their applications were painfully shallow and simplistic!
If Ves wanted to design much better hyper chs, then he urgently needed to deepen his comprehension and mastery into specific E energy attributes.
This also lined up with the progression of a traditional blacksmith.
Each of them improved their craft by expanding their understanding of different elents and the materials associated with them. The greater their comprehension, the greater the extent their products could take advantage of an elent!
Right now, Ves needed to set aside his obsession of rging the five elents and start off with just a single elent.
While it was impossible for Ves to design a true mono-elental ch given that they were all intrinsically related to tal and other elents, he wanted to improve the application of the water elent in his next designs.
Several new ch ideas ca to mind.
However, Ves quickly fell back to his Fey Project.
After all of the excitent surrounding the Elental Lord, it seed as if he had completely set the original Fey project aside.
"It is still a good ch design."
Though its design did not asure up to his recently raised standards, it was still a fine product and a good drone ch in the early phase of the Hyper Generation.
The Living ch Corporation had already made preparations to mass produce the comrcial variants of his latest ch line. Gavin and many other staffers had also been working hard to set up a high profile product reveal event.
If Ves insisted on going back to the drawing board and finding a way to develop a version of the Fey Project that made much more extensive use of the water elent, then that would completely upend the current schedule!
It would probably take at least several months for Ves to design a satisfactory hyper ch that utilized the power of water in more profound ways.
Ves might as well design a variant of the Fey Project, or better yet, a completely new ch design!
Perhaps he could even do both at the sa ti while also making sure he kept up on his intensive studies!
"My productivity has increased once more."
Ves had already noticed the improvents ever since he returned from the field.
The latest lightning baptism not only amplified the size of his physical body to the point where he had a lot more brain mass than before, it had also furthered the evolution of his mind and spirituality.
The care of the Red Ocean ensured that the recent lightning tribulation strengthened his overall foundation in a holistic manner without producing any sequelae!
Although Ves did not like to pile up a lot of debt, he sincerely felt grateful to the local heavenly authority for increasing his cognitive capabilities.
He was able to design his chs a lot faster than before!
It was difficult for Ves to estimate how much he improved, and not all of it translated to purely intellectual gains.
Having a big body that was filled with phasewater actually imposed an exponentially greater burden onto Ves. Much of his brain capacity actually had to be dedicated towards managing all of the phasewater and phasewater organs.
If that did not happen, then it was far too easy for the space folding to get ssed up or for a drop of phasewater to go berserk and tear a hole in his body!
Ves needed to gain a better understanding of his strange physical state. He was not that eager to find a corner and unfold his true body.
He was much more interested in planning out his next steps in relation to his ch design endeavors!
"Hm... I have already spent enough ti on the Fey Project. It is ti for to wrap it up and give it a rest. I can wait until this ch line has beco old enough for to apply a lot of improved hyper technology in the next revisions."
His thoughts strayed towards future ch designs. He wanted to tackle at least one project that had a profound relationship with phasewater so that he could explore more extensive applications of the water elent.
The most obvious answer he could think of was a space knight.
The defensive chs of the Larkinson Clan could certainly use an update. The current versions of the Bright Warriors and the Rigid Walls were still serviceable as far as lastgen chs went, but their roles were far too marginal in the current war.
Alien warships simply possessed too much firepower. Their attacks could be evaded with a bit of effort, but it was almost impossible for a ch to survive a direct impact with one of the bigger armants of an ard vessel!
Even the smaller tertiary gun batteries of a warship could tear entire ch companies of space knights apart due to their much greater firing rates!
Offensive lee chs enjoyed a renaissance in the Hyper Generation due to the release of space suppressors and other supporting technologies, but the sa benefits did not apply as well to defensive lee chs.
The problem was that space knights were usually a lot heavier and slower to close in on an enemy fleet.
Even if they managed to arrive next to their targets, their maneuvering was painfully sluggish, making it a lot easier for gun batteries to track their movents and blast them apart!
Ves was not able to mitigate these dangers entirely, but more extensive utilization of the water elent could help them resist the attacks of smaller rapid-fire cannons a lot better than before.
"Is there a way to increase their mobility as well?"
It should be relatively easy to improve the mobility of a ch equipped with a combat drive or a transphasic flight system, but both of them happened to be high-end systems that were usually reserved for high-ranking chs.
If Ves wanted to design a comrcially viable ch, then he needed to control the costs and minimize the dependency on phasewater as much as possible.
"Do I have to split this project in two and design two variants of the sa concept at once?"
Perhaps he should. It made sense for him to split the developnt of the Fey Project in order to design a low-end and a high-end version of the sa concept.
The sa logic could apply to many other projects as well, particularly the ones that he intended to put on the market one way or another.
It shouldn't be too difficult to enhance the performance of a transphasic space knight with a deeper application of the water elent, but what about the cheaper version of the sa concept?
"Is it possible to leverage the water elent in an effective manner in a ch that has no phasewater?"
Ves beca quite troubled by this question. There were definitely a lot of thods that could enhance the performance of such a machine, but the lack of synergy between phasewater and hyper technology limited his options.
"No. That is not correct. Removing phasewater from the equation doesn't necessarily constrain my work. It just takes away all of the powerful handicaps that has allowed transphasic chs to cheat for a long ti."
Transphasic chs were typical products that relied on a very expensive material to enhance their combat power.
While it was definitely worthwhile to expend these valuable resources for this purpose, it was too bad that the supply of this exotic was wholly insufficient!
The demand for phasewater had never dropped. It had only grown higher and higher, and there were no signs that it would drop anyti soon!
If even the aliens of ssier 87 had reasons to covet phasewater, then it was conceivable that it would never beco a common commodity!
This ant that Ves would never be able to capture a large market share by designing transphasic chs.
Even though his clan could afford it, a lot of other organizations did not have this luxury!
The top market segnts could get their hands on phasewater easily enough, but the bulk of the forces fighting for red humanity would probably field non-transphasic chs for the most part.
Ves could make a much stronger contribution to the survival of red humanity if he was able to design a highly effective hyper ch that did not rely on an expensive crutch such as phasewater!
The more he thought about it, the more he wanted to tackle this challenge!
The main reason why he beca excited about this potential new project was because he wanted to see how he could leverage the water elent in a defensive capacity.
"Is it possible to imitate the defensive properties of transphasic armor systems and transphasic energy shields without employing phasewater?"
He initially thought that it was impossible for him to accomplish this by making use of relatively cheaper and more abundant hyper materials.
However, he began to doubt this conclusion when he thought about how he could approach such a matter.
"What is phasewater, exactly? Is it a fusion between space energy and water energy that has taken on a material form, or is it sothing else entirely?"
Even though Ves had put a lot of effort into studying phasewater theory, he still wasn't able to co up with an answer to this question!
This was an indicator that phasewater still had a lot of mysteries left for Ves to explore.
Even though Ves felt that it was far too simplistic to equate phasewater as a special fusion between space energy and water energy, what if he applied this simple combination into a ch design?
"This might actually produce a useful result!"
However, doing so would violate his intention of designing a mono-elental ch. Trying to combine the water elent with any other attribute ant that Ves would be focused on researching exciting new synergies and combinations.
While that was undoubtedly helpful for his ch design project, Ves would be unable to advance his comprehension of the water elent as much as he wanted.
"No. I need to restrict my work to just using the water elent." Ves frowned. "At most, I will only use the tal elent to reinforce the ch fra, but everything else should be carried by the power of water."
That made it a lot harder for Ves to co up with viable ideas.
For example, phasewater synergized extrely well with energy shields, which was why all of the native alien races relied upon transphasic energy shields as their main form of defense.
Could Ves utilize the water elent in a similar but also different fashion that would lead to stronger energy shields?
"Water is often associated with motion. What if I can use the water elent to make an energy shield more dynamic. Perhaps I can create whirlpools or sothing that can make it tricker to break the energy shields..."
