Chapter 27: Planetary Autonomy
After taunting his superior, Soma, who had completely abandoned his principles, called to the elven supervisor, Yaling, and commanded:
"Bring dinner in, with champagne, real champagne, see clearly, it's champagne from the Champagne region, don't pick me up and make up the numbers."
At this time, Jack, who ran out after pulling the trigger, pushed the door in with a relaxed step.
He found a chair and sat down, crossing Erlang's legs, and everyone could see that he was in a good mood.
Juan asks Soma for details: "Why do you have to make up three immigrants?" ”
Soma explains: "Because three people represent the 'congregation,' that's the minimum number of people on the committee. ”
Juan wondered, "What committee?" Why set up a committee? ”
Soma spread out her hands: "You can choose your own name, for example, it can be called 'Beautiful Planet Autonomous Committee'." ”
Morgan nodded to the side: "Sounds like a villager self-government committee." ”
Soma exclaimed: "Genius is to the point, yes, it is the villagers' self-government committee, but this village is relatively large, including the entire beautiful planet." ”
Juan was still wondering, "But what's the point?" ”
The corners of Soma's mouth curled slightly: "The meaning is that it can replace the pioneer station!"
"Do you know the planet development process?"
Faced with an intellectually curious Juan, an indifferent Jack, and a self-confident Morgan, Soma explains:
"Usually an explorer confirms whether a planet is habitable, and then an expert comes to determine whether it is worthwhile and how difficult it is to develop."
Juan raised his hand and interjected, "So what is the development value of this planet?" ”
"You're sorry for me, in fact I've consulted the archives more than once, but I have never been able to find the expert assessment that I sure should have.
"I can only judge by the cost of the army's conquest of this planet, and the disappearance of the expert report must have judged the planet to be very valuable for development.
"But then something must have happened, or maybe there was a mistake in the expert judgment at the time, and I think it's very likely, so they wrote off the expert report.
"Anyway, the end result is that ZF has abandoned its focus on the planet and switched to the lowest level of the development station model."
Juan was a little frustrated: "So I immigrated to a planet where birds don't. ”
"Can I go on?" Soma pretended to be polite, "Planets that run in Pioneer Station mode generally have two results.
"One is that it can't be developed all the time, in fact, this is normal, because it is a planet like chicken ribs that runs in the mode of a pioneer station.
"The other is to discover unique values that were not found before, such as special minerals and special crops, then it will be developed.
"In this case, there will be a constant influx of immigrants, and when it reaches a certain scale, usually a billion people, it will be problematic to continue to operate in the pioneer station model.
"At this time, it is necessary to switch to the model of planetary autonomy.
"A billion immigrants will elect representatives to form a planetary autonomy committee, and after approval and publicity, the committee will take over the power of the development station and govern the planet."
"A billion people? But, there are only two immigrants here! ”
Soma smiled proudly: "There's actually a loophole here, but no one notices it except me." ”
Soma paused, as if waiting for appreciation, but unfortunately the audience was too dull for anyone to follow the phrase "why are adults laughing?"
So Soma could only pout and continue: "The pioneer station will not give up power easily, after all, the developed planet is very profitable.
"Usually after a certain number of immigrants reach a certain level, the public will strongly demand autonomy, and the Planetary Autonomy Committee will be formed and the development station will be forcibly disbanded.
"And on an underdeveloped planet, with a few immigrants, no one will be stupid enough to set up an autonomous committee to challenge the authority of the development station.
"So it gradually became a habit, and the colonies of the pioneer planet, which had less than a billion immigrants, would not form an autonomous council.
"But there is no legal basis for this kind of convention, and the requirement for the establishment of a committee in the law is only 'three or more'."
"So you're going to take advantage of this and plan to replace the Pioneer Station with a committee of only three immigrants, but what's in it for you?"
"The pioneer station was replaced, so I could only be laid off and go back to the main star to wait for a new post."
"Soma, I know you want to go back, but what's the difference between doing this and your resignation?"
"Of course there is a difference! I was still in the system when I was laid off, and I completely said goodbye when I resigned. Soma smiled slyly, "These days, it's not easy to get mixed in the system, how can I give up so easily?" ”
"No, there's something wrong with your expression, you're lying."
Soma was completely ashamed of being seen through, and he laughed and said:
"You're pretty good, Juan. But I'll talk to you about this later, don't worry, it's only good for you. The most important thing now is to find a third immigrant. ”
"But where to find a third immigrant? Do any of your staff members want to emigrate? ”
"If anyone wants to, won't I find one in 20 years?"
"Count me in." Jack, who seemed to have been out of the way, suddenly interjected.
Juan was surprised, and he looked at Jack with disgust.
But it was none of Juan's business for others to emigrate, and he had no right to stop it.
Soma didn't show a surprised expression on her face, as if she had anticipated Jack's choice.
"Jack, you belong to the military transfer area. Such a report does not need to be retouched, and the audit will definitely pass.
Five minutes later, Jack's immigration report passed the review of his superiors.
"The number of people is enough, the Planetary Autonomy Committee can be established, have you decided on the name?"
Jack had an arrogant look on his face, "I'm cultivating immortals, don't bother me with mundane things", and Juan didn't want to discuss it with him.
Morgan, on the other hand, is a "I'm a genius and I won't speak casually" seriousness.
So Juan scratched the green hair on his head and blurted out, "Let's call it the 'World Tree'." ”
As soon as he spoke, he was stunned.
Why do I say "World Tree", when the company name was registered before, I inexplicably reported this name, and it ended up getting into trouble.
Why is the name reported again now?
Could it be that someone is interfering with my thoughts? No, it's not, it's instinctive, subconsciously it should be called that.
Anyway, there's nothing wrong with this name, right? Why am I so obsessed with where it comes from?
Something is wrong, there is a problem. But what's the problem? No problem.
Juan shook his head, completely mashing his chaotic thoughts into a pulp.
Soma solved Juan's problem: "The 'World Tree' is not good, it has the same name as your company, and it is easy to think of the relationship between the two. ”
Juan thought for a moment and said, "Then the committee will be called 'Brave New World', 'Brave New World Autonomous Council', yes, the emblem is a 'World Tree'." ”
"Good name."
Juan, whose name has been recognized, feels that it is also a wise choice to insist on using the "World Tree" as the emblem.
