The Mech Touch

Chapter 6660 The Arrival of the Amaranto Mark III

The Carmine Revolution had two completely different meanings to different people.

To the humans of the Milky Way, the Carmine Revolution evoked a mixed response. The very topic of Carmine mechs provoked a lot of controversy and polarized a lot of opinionated individuals.

The Carmine Revolution was responsible for fulfilling the dreams of billions if not trillions of people, but it also amplified the existing fault lines in human society and created new ones in record time!

Compared to the intensive division caused by the sudden introduction of Carmine mechs in the Milky Way, the people of the Red Ocean remained remarkably well-behaved when faced with the prospect of allowing norms to pilot mechs!

The much smaller size of human-occupied space in the Red Ocean, the extensive cooperation between Ves and several factions of the Red Association, the differences between the Yellow Jackets, the Auto Heretics and the institution of martial law and the alternative means of self-empowerment through systematic cultivation all contributed to a remarkably low incident rate among red humanity.

However, the biggest reason why Carmine mechs hadn't resulted in so much chaos and instability was because the Red War loomed over everyone's heads.

Every norm that decided to bond with a Yellow Jacket would automatically get drafted. There was no way that states would allow these civilians to play around with Carmine mechs in their backyards when they could make a material difference in the war effort after a few years of rushed training!

Therefore, those who wanted to fulfill their childhood dreams of becoming a mech pilot would be able to do so, but only with the realization that they would soon get marched into a training camp and be forced to become a soldier if they wanted to keep piloting their Carmine mechs!

These reasons and more were why the Yellow Jackets generated much less of a buzz among red humans.

Still, people's attitudes towards Ves' invention was a lot more uniformly positive. He had torn down the genetic aptitude tyranny and given everyone the option to become a dignified soldier.
