The Mech Touch

Chapter 6680 The Value of Different Perspectives

Ves threw himself into this side project with great interest.

He would devise a more formal mech design project around the concept of a cultivator mech in the future, but for now he was content with setting up a small experiment.

The mech designer first wanted to take a good look at the 'formation anchors' that were vital to deploying a spell array. He had never gotten in touch with them before so he was curious to see what they were like. He already formed a lot of suspicions on how they worked.

"They're pretty big" Ves commented as a handful of mechs brought them to the private workshop inside the Spirit of Bentheim,

"They have to be." Commander Melkor said. "Many of the ancient qi formations that the Red Collective managed to recover are mostly useful at the infantry scale. Their effects typically encompass a radius of hundreds of meters or maybe several kilometers. The formation anchors are also designed to be fairly small and portable. They often come in the form of small flags or pieces of rock and metal that you can easily stuff in a rucksack or whatever."

"That makes sense. A formation master has to pull them out and be able to deploy them in the field without needing lots of helpers or equipment." Ves nodded.

"There are larger versions of spell arrays. They were originally designed to provide defenses to strongholds and cities. The formation anchors are much larger and more complex, but they are able to attract much more E energy and shape them into much larger protective barriers. In fact, most of them aren't able to sustain their exaggerated effects by absorbing E energy radiation alone. Their energy demands have to be supplemented by other sources of E energy. There are references to special stones or crystals that are highly concentrated with E energy that were commonly used at the time."
