Chapter 6460 The Inferior Humans
Many listeners initially grew confused, but then they realized why Carmine mechs presented the perfect bargaining tool for the highly ambitious Oblivion Gate Consortium.
Red humanity already gained access to the brand new mechs equipped with the amazing Carmine System, so most people's awe towards its capabilities had already dropped to a more reasonable level.
Less than a week had passed since the historic product reveal, and red humans already started to treat Carmine mechs as a permanent addition to the landscape.
Original humanity lacked this benefit.
When red humans thought about all of the 'original' humans that failed to enter the Red Ocean, the former began to take pity on the latter.
Sure, the Red Ocean had become a much more dangerous environment to humans than before, but it also granted them so many advantages that were previously unthinkable!
The powerful combination of systematic cultivation and Carmine mechs alone presented a huge amount of people at the bottom with amazing possibilities to strengthen themselves and rise to greatness at a much more affordable price!
Original humans who occupied the lower and middle positions of the Milky Way virtually had no chance to change their fate. They were destined to live and die as space peasants without leaving any significant mark of their existence on their society.
The stagnant society and the unshakeable dominance of oligarchical groups left far too little room for talented and opportunistic upstarts to rise to power!
The Red Ocean was different because the ongoing war created a lot of fault lines, enabling ambitious and capable individuals to squeeze between the The famous Ves Larkinson served as the best example!
Although only 3 days had passed since the Red Collective had been founded, a large proportion of brave, desperate and eager red humans had already gotten their first taste of systematic cultivation.
Too little time had passed for most people to make any noticeable gains when practicing the free curated cultivation methods that were suitable for beginners, but there were always exceptions.
Every population had a small proportion of talented individuals. They were born with much greater spirituality than usual, and absorbed ambient E energy radiation with a higher degree of efficiency than before.
When these 'talented' people practiced a suitable and compatible qi cultivation method for the first few times, their latent accumulation quickly transformed into a readily usable foundation that brought them immediate strength and gains!
The result of all of this was that in every large settlement, dozens of people suddenly emerged that were able to cast magical spells such as fireballs, or jump over two stories in an instant!
While the sudden acquisition of combat power caused the rapidly strengthened cultivators to become unstable to the point of endangering the people around them, the Red Collective had already made preparations in advance.
Not only did the collies deploy a large amount of enforcers to as many settlements as possible, they also warned the local authorities to monitor and intervene anyone that began to act weird all of a sudden.
The Pacifier mech turned out to be an excellent way to suppress out-of-control cultivators!
Most qi cultivators were still weak enough that Lufa's glow was completely able to suppress their spiritualities and prevent them from leveraging the power of heaven for their own use!
There was no chance for them to wreak havoc when the living peacekeeping mechs arrived!
Of course, even with these amazingly effective machines, ordinary mechs
were also capable of defeating regular cultivators.
A single fireball or rock shard could never breach the defenses of a mech!
In any case, these quick responses successfully reduced the negative impact of introducing systematic cultivation to the masses.
Many news pub
geniuses had gained.
ons highlighted all of the benefits that the more stable
All of this propaganda caused more and more people to appreciate the advantages of systematic cultivation.
There was no way that red humanity wanted to let go of it anymore!
Now that they gained access to a completely new means of empowerment, everyone already regarded it as their collective treasure. Their support for the Red Collective reached a new peak.
All of this increased the sense of pride and superiority of red humanity. They had diverged so much from original humanity in just the span of a few years that their sense of belonging towards the Milky Way had already plunged below a critical level!
Of course, this was only a generalization. There were still plenty of red humans that still identified themselves as citizens of the Milky Way. This was especially the case for people who left behind close family and loved ones in the other galaxy.
However, the traumas and crises that most people suffered since the Great Severing had firmly caused these sentiments to fade.
People cared a lot more about their own lives than the friends and family that were safely residing in the Milky Way!
Since red humanity had already begun to psychologically diverge from original humanity, the former actually felt they possessed the right to decide whether the latter was able to make use of Carmine mechs!
Unfortunately for these people, the Evolution Witch already formed a plan of her own. At this moment, no one objected to her decision to offer the gift of Carmine mechs to original humanity, especially after she elaborated
on her decision.
"The Great Severing has caused our branch of humanity to diverge from the people of the Milky Way. The latter could have chosen to aid us in our
prevent our enemies from turning on them next. We have gone our separate ways since then. So long as the distance between our galaxies remains too great, there is no good means to heal the divide, nor is it desirable to do so. For all intents and purposes, we have become two different civilizations. Over time, our universal evolution will cause our race to grow and diverge from original humanity as well, so we will have even less in common than in the past. As the inferior and unevolved branch of humankind, do you think the people over there will be willing to engage
in the trade of goods?"
The answer was likely no! Now that the two groups no longer considered themselves as one, they had begun to take on a competitive relationship!
It was not necessarily a good development for original humans to allow their distant cousins to grow too powerful!
More cynical individuals even entertained the controversial idea that the leaders in the old galaxy might actually desire the downfall of red
humanity!
All of these ideas were based on cold hard interests. The leaders of original humanity had to make decisions what was best for their own constitutions. If red humanity was taken out of consideration, then their attitude towards a lost branch of humanity could never remain warm!
More and more red humans began to frown as they gradually figured this out. So long as they posed a realistic threat to original humans, the leaders of the Milky Way would never tolerate trade!
"This is why we must offer a bargaining chip that original humanity cannot
refuse. They are still stuck in the Age of Mechs, and there are many more individuals in the Milky Way who have always dreamt of piloting a mech. If we expose the existence of Carmine mechs and offer them a realistic chance of piloting one in exchange for trading goods, public support will overwhelmingly take our side. Not even the Big Two can suppress this pent-up demand once the news has spread. My collaborators in the Milky Way have already made preparations to spread this news across the entire galaxy at any time. It is impossible for the mechers and the fleeters to suppress this news, nor deny that Carmine mechs cannot exist. The psionic pylon that carries the imprint of Ves Larkinson shall ensure that original humans will not only learn about the existence of Carmine mechs,
but also gain an opportunity to form their own Blood Pacts." What a masterful scheme. Ves fully acknowledged the depth and thoughtfulness of her grand design.
Ves had pretty much forgotten about the psionic pylon that was supposed
to extend his design philosophy across parts of the old galaxy that he was not able to cover once he moved to the Red Ocean. However, once he became a pioneer, he completely lost interest in the LMC's business activities in the old galaxy.
He no longer possessed any attachment to the Yeina Star Cluster and
couldn't care less of whether his customers were stuck with piloting mechs that became increasingly more outdated over time.
It might not be fair to all of the old living mechs that still possessed a lot of
potential, but could only rely on flawed and imperfect upgrades devised by mech designers who did not really understand his design philosophy.
Yet Ves simply did not have the time and interest to spare on serving his oldest customers in the Komodo Star Sectors and beyond. This was why the P.P. no longer crossed his mind anymore. Ves never
expected that it would suddenly become incredibly relevant again.
The mysticism used to create the P.P. did not care for distance, just like how quantum entanglement nodes could theoretically maintain their connections across intergalactic distances as long as the pairing did not get interrupted.
The effective range of the P.P. that was still supposed to be stored in the
center of the Yeina Star Cluster had even increased by a huge extent ever since Ves advanced to the rank of Senior Mech Designer!n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Once he realized his design philosophy, the P.P. that was still connected to him in a mysterious way would also undergo a similar transformation. Due to its existence, Ves actually maintained a connection to the original
Kingdom of Mechs.
This meant that if he ever broke through to Master Mech Designer, he had the option to contribute his design philosophy to both the Kingdom of Mechs and the Red Kingdom at the same time!
Ves was not the only mech designer who retained this crazy possibility.
Every mech designer who left behind a P.P. was able to do the same!
The only issue was that there was only one copy of this object in the Milky
Way. Anyone opposed to the existence of Carmine mechs or opening up trade with the humans of the Red Ocean could make an attempt to ruin everything by destroying the P.P.!
Normally, that should spell the end of the plan to spread Carmine mechs
among the population, but it was not that simple.
Ves knew that the Evolution Witch's master plan was actually a bit more perfect than described.
This was because Veronica was still present in the Milky Way. He created his living divine artifact from a bastardized alien ritual that somehow caused it to become a mystical reflection of his core essence. From a metaphysical standpoint, Veronica was a living derivation of Ves' Divine Core. The Cyborg Cat may have been chipped away from Ves, but they were still the same in many aspects.
Not all of his incarnations possessed this unique property, but Veronica was
the clear exception!
In practice, this meant that much of the direct cultivation gains made by
Ves directly affected Veronica as well!
Her phase lord cultivation had actually reached a more advanced stage
than Ves himself. She not only possessed her own phasewater organs, but also carried a smaller copy of his design flame!
This meant that Veronica could effectively act as his surrogate in terms of a
mech designer. Even without the existence of the P.P., it was quite possible for Ves to work
as a mech designer in two different galaxies at once!
However, there was one big problem with this plan. It painted a huge target on Veronica's back!
