Chapter 171: Revised: Volume 3, - 53: Mecha Research Lab_2
Mecha modification is not the same as mecha manufacturing. It involves transforming the original model, which sometimes can be even harder than designing a new mecha from scratch. The modification difficulty of this [Vajra] exceeds that of manufacturing because of its stringent requirements. It must not alter the structure and affect mass production, yet it must meet demands for control inertia, protection for chest and back, and enhanced starting explosive power. Using existing equipment to perform the best and most cost-effective modification is the real meaning of modification.
In terms of modification, this [Vajra] is simply perfect and impeccable!
Especially concerning control, protection, explosive power, stability, and balance, the data of this mecha has been raised by half a grade compared to previous human-shaped mechas! So many key data improvements in itself are a miracle!
You must know, [Vajra] was originally designed for the Mythical Army, and the technology used represents the pinnacle of the Gazalin Empire. At such a level, improving it further is extremely difficult! The modifier needs to have a very deep understanding of the mecha to choose better and more suitable components for enhancing the mecha’s performance during modification. Otherwise, it might backfire, decreasing the original performance and even damaging other parts.
The reason the Salodi Company worked on the internal modifications of the mecha is precisely because of this. Increasing data is the best indication of the modification level of a mecha. However, the data they improved were not the key data. This shows that ordinary modification is already difficult enough, not to mention transforming a human-shaped mecha into a beast-shaped one and achieving such astonishing data.
[Vajra] is a new type of mecha developed by over twenty military laboratories of the Gazalin Empire, specifically targeted at the Mythical Army. Initially, this human-shaped mecha, which prominently features close-combat capabilities, received unanimous praise from the Mythical Soldiers due to its far superior performance compared to [Demon Tiger] and over twenty new designs. The Empire invested a considerable amount of funds, attempting to establish a production line. Unexpectedly, when the production line was built, the problems of the mecha gradually became apparent. Originally, these exposed issues weren’t too severe; after all, there is no perfect mecha in this world. However, after [Vajra] was captured by the Federation, the issues became fatal.
