The Mech Touch

Chapter 6672 Evolving Alien Strike Craft Doctrines

Unlike red humanity, the native aliens never really developed an obsession with their own small craft.

While they did use them to varying degrees in the past, they never placed much emphasis on these craft. They were mostly used as patrols and occasionally screening units for their homeships. They were mainly useful for doing the jobs that were too small for ships to bothered with most of the time.

That changed when red humanity won their battles one after another by relying on mechs alone.

Compared to warships, mechs were far smaller and possessed only a fraction of the power.

Yet it was precisely because they were small and maneuverable that they were able to evade a large amount of warship attacks and concentrate their power in ways that allowed them to achieve maximum results with minimum investment.

Even if human mechs won as many battles as they lost, the native aliens actually lost out in a material sense as warships were much more expensive and took much more resources to build!

The native aliens may have their pride, but most of them could not ignore the reality in front of them. They had begun to imitate their human foes in order to shore up their weaknesses and close the gap.

The problem with their behavior was that they could never surpass red humanity through imitation alone.

No matter whether it was the orvens, the puelmers or the zzamayel, none of them had been able to replicate a mech that could work for their race. Even the active collusion of the Cosmopolitan Movement could not overcome the fundamental technological obstacles that stood in the way of this ambitious endeavor!

Neural interface technology was solely developed with human brains in mind. Alien species that looked close to humans actually possessed very different biologies and brain structures. It was impossible for the same neural interface that was solely designed with humans in mind to work perfectly with an alien.
