The Mech Touch

Chapter 6659 The Importance of Restraint

The Carmine Revolution in the Milky Way led to enormous disruptions. The lives of virtually every human had been impacted by it one way or another.

While the lives of many people had become brighter and more colorful now that they had an opportunity to become Carmine mech pilots and wield greater personal power than ever before, the lives of many others came to a premature end!

Original humanity therefore became awfully divided over whether Ves deserved to be praised or condemned.

The Carmine Revolutionaries and other supporters praised him to the heavens. They respectfully called him the Father of Carmine Mechs and already looked forward to the release of his next Carmine mech line.

The Big Two and the Guardians of Peace predictably maligned him as the Devil Tongue. Ves Larkinson had become the model of a mech designer who possessed no ethics and recklessly broke the rules for his selfish desires!

Even if his Carmine System granted norms a benefit that no one had ever managed to provide in the past, there were much better ways to introduce it than to dump it onto the galactic mech market all at once!

Supporters and haters argued against each other nearly every day. This led to a lot of breakups in families and friendships as people who used to be close to each other found themselves at opposite ends.

Those living in Safe Zones tended to respond a lot better to Big Two propaganda and gradually started to fall in line. There were many of them that were no doubt secretly eager to pilot Auto Heretics, but they understood that uncontrolled access to them would make it much more likely that their homes would get destroyed.

Those living in the Free Zones held no goodwill towards the Big Two anymore. The 'space peasants' believed that the mechers and fleeters abandoned them. Now that they had become a lot more vulnerable than in the past, they eagerly sought protection, and piloting one of the Auto Heretics sounded like a good way to improve their security in a new and more uncertain period of time.

This turned the so-called Risk Zones into the most acute battlegrounds of the Carmine Revolution.

These were areas of relative stability where Carmine mechs made an advance, but had yet to trigger enough changes to shake off the yoke of the Big Two.
