The Mech Touch novel Chapter 3907

Chapter 3907 Paracelsus Optimus

The Red Ocean was the current focus of human civilization. The Big Two were the major pushers of the invasion of the dwarf galaxy.

In fact, despite the arrival of billions of humans through the beyonder gate every day, the expansion effort was still led by the Mech Trade Association and the Common Fleet Alliance.

The resources they monopolized and the tech they had mastered for a long time served as the basis of their unstoppable progress in the frontlines of the expansionary war.

No alien civilization could possibly hope to match the might of the Big Two's battleships and mechs.

Under the unceasing advance of humanity's greatest war machines, entire alien fleets went asunder and whole developed planets were scoured of life.

The huge power disparity between a top power in the Milky Way and the local powers of the Red Ocean meant that the former did not have to play nice with the latter!

Why bother with utilizing slow and time-consuming strategies such as divide and conquer when the Big Two could just declare all-out war and defeat all of the indigenous alien races at once?

This was the privilege of power!

Of course, just because the Red Ocean was weak didn't mean it was a pushover. If the Big Two acted too perfunctory in their attempt to conquer the dwarf galaxy, then the aliens they despised could potentially drive humanity back!

This was unacceptable!

This was why the MTA and CFA committed a lot of powerful combat assets to the Red Ocean.

Many of the warships and mechs fighting on the frontlines originally came from the Milky Way. Since each of them were designed to fight against humanity's familiar alien rivals that still occupied the other half of the old galaxy, their might was great.

However, the Big Two could not afford to transfer too many warfleets to the new frontier. Many of them were still needed to guard the foundation of human space and prevent the other occupants of the old galaxy from making a comeback.

This was why the Big Two started to develop and build starships that were specifically designed to operate in the Red Ocean.

The Paracelsus Optimus was a warship that was especially developed to fulfill multiple roles at once. The ships of her class filled the MTA's need for a vessel that primarily focused on exploring and cleaning up remnant alien traces in recently-occupied territory.

Space was big and largely empty. It was too difficult for the Big Two to sweep up every single alien settlement or fleet as they expanded humanity's territory.

Normally, the job of getting rid of all of these mice that had fallen through the cracks was left to the pioneers that followed after the initial conquest.

It was a pity that not every pioneer was up to the task of defeating the alien remnants!

Stories spread every day about pioneering fleets suffering the bad luck of bumping into an angry phase whale or a remnant peulmer fleet and suffering the brunt of alien animosity towards the invaders from the Milky Way!

This was why the rearguard of the Big Two needed assets that could handle the more formidable threats that were far too powerful for most pioneers.

The Paracelsus Optimus was one of the many answers to this persistent problem. She was a new breed of warship that was not only developed with the Red Ocean's resources and mission requirements in mind, but also adhered to an MTA operational doctrine that sought to evolve or even reinvent the entire concept of starships as weapons of war!

It was no secret that the Mech Trade Association found it incredibly awkward to continue to rely on battleships as their top war weapons.

Although the mechers continually developed new technologies and design applications that constantly elevated mechs to a greater height, all of these innovations could not change the fact that mechs were miniscule compared to any warship!

This was why the MTA still employed battleships such as the Hessarian Bardine that largely resembled the ones utilized by the CFA.

The Paracelsus Optimus was an attempted break from this old and traditional style of designing warships.

While there were many good reasons while the old formula of battleships was still an enduring success, the MTA's shipwrights were not content with sticking to what already worked and were much more willing to buck tradition in order to create a better formula!

The important goal was to develop a new warship concept that specifically complemented the MTA's preferred approach towards combat and other missions.

The Paracelsus Optimus amply met those requirements.

As soon as she appeared through the portal created by the Simile Halifax, the so-called battlecarrier immediately brought her various functions to bear.

First, she activated her rich collection of sensor arrays, taking in not only the unstable tectonic activity happening on Auralis, but also collecting far more data about the rest of the star system!

The sensor and scanning systems of the Blinding Banshee couldn't even come close to matching their counterparts on the Paracelsus Optimus!

Even the small and relatively limited Simile Halifax was the equivalent to a blind mole in front of the excellent data-gathering abilities by the Paracelsus Optimus.

With her powerful processing banks, sophisticated AIs and thousands of dedicated sensor operators and data analysts, the Paracelsus Optimus only needed a couple of minutes to figure out more secrets and hidden details in the Garimel System than the Simile Halifax!

Information was power and the Paracelsus Optimus exemplified this phrase by possessing superior observation and analysis capabilities than many battleships!

With a clearer understanding of what might be going on in the Garimel System, the officers in charge did not hesitate to prepare the ship for combat against a major threat.

Her two formidable main turrets came online. One of them was able to fire energy beams that struck like stars while the other were able to fire gigantic kinetic rounds at relativistic speeds!

The triple-barreled weapon mounts were the battlecarrier's main guarantee against battleships and equivalent threats.

Of course, compared to actual battleships, the Paracelsus Optimos was rather lightly-armed for a 7-kilometer long warship.

The battlecarrier possessed a relatively modest array of other weapon systems to round out her direct combat capabilities.

A quick snapshot of the entire mech force already made it clear to Ves that it contained over a hundred different mech models! _{frёewebnoѵēl.com}
