บท 5205: Data Cruncher

Ves gained a lot of confidence in the viability of his demimech.

The draft for the Carmine Raider looked like a fairly compact but capable demimech that should easily be able to crush most second-class infantry forces.

Its height was only a bit shorter than the height of the torso of a typical medium mech.

Shrinking the machine to such an extent demanded a massive amount of adjustments that Ves never grappled with before.

For example, the substantial reduction in size meant that the mech lost a lot of mass, mechanical strength and leverage. Its limbs were shorter, its mech engine became a lot weaker and it needed to squeeze all of its parts in a much tinier frame.

While it sounded easy enough to simply substitute larger parts with miniaturized ones, Ves had to make far more adjustments as the dynamics of a demimech were completely different from that of a full-sized mech.
