Chapter 27 Planetary Autonomy

Soma, who had completely given up on his principles, after mocking his boss, called the elf supervisor Yaling and ordered:

"Bring the dinner in, paired with champagne. Real champagne. Look clearly. It's champagne produced in the Champagne region. Don't help me pick up the sparkling wine to make up for it."

At this time, Jack, who ran out after pulling the trigger, pushed the door open and came in with a relaxed pace.

He found a chair and sat down, crossing his legs. Everyone could see that he was in a good mood.

Juan asked Soma for details: "Why do you have to get three immigrants?"

Soma explained: "Because three people represent the 'public' and are the minimum number of people required to establish a committee."

Juan wondered: "What committee? Why should we set up a committee?"

Soma spread his hands: "You can choose the name yourself. For example, it can be called 'Beautiful Planet Autonomous Committee'."

Morgan nodded: "It sounds similar to a village self-governing committee."

Soma admired: "The genius hit the nail on the head when he spoke. Yes, it is the Villagers' Autonomous Committee, but this village is relatively large and covers the entire beautiful planet."

Juan was still wondering: "But what's the point?"

The corner of Soma's mouth raised slightly: "The meaning is that it can replace the pioneering station!

"Do you know the planet development process?"

Facing the curious Juan, the indifferent Jack, and the fascinated and confident Morgan, Soma explained:

“Usually, explorers first confirm whether a planet is habitable, and then experts will come to judge whether it is worth developing and evaluate the difficulty of development.”

Juan raised his hand and interrupted: "Then what is the development value of this planet?"

"You asked me wrong. In fact, I checked the archived information more than once, but I never found the expert assessment report that I definitely should have.

"I can only judge based on the cost of the military's conquest of this planet. The missing expert report must have determined that this planet is of great development value.

“But something must have happened later, and it’s possible that the expert’s judgment at the time was wrong. I think this possibility is very high, so they canceled the expert report.

"Anyway, the final result is that the government gave up paying attention to this planet and switched to the lowest level development station model."

Juan was a little frustrated: "So I immigrated to a planet where birds don't shit."

"Can I continue?" Soma pretended to be polite, "A planet operating in the pioneering station mode generally has two results.

"One is that it has never been developed. In fact, this is normal, because the planet itself running in the development station mode is like a useless planet.

"The other is to discover unique values ​​that were not discovered before, such as special mineral materials and special crops, and then it will become developed.

"In this case, immigrants will continue to pour in. When it reaches a certain scale, usually one billion people, problems will arise if we continue to operate in the pioneering station model.

"At this time, it is necessary to switch to the planetary autonomy model.

"Representatives will be elected from one billion immigrants to form a planetary autonomy committee. After approval and public announcement, the committee will take over the power of the development station and manage the planet."

"One billion people? Yes, but there are only two immigrants here!"

Soma smiled proudly: "There is actually a loophole here, but no one noticed except me."

Soma paused after speaking, as if waiting for praise. Unfortunately, the audience was too stupid and no one followed up with the sentence "Why are you laughing?"

So Soma could only curl his lips and continue: "The pioneering station will not give up power easily. After all, the developed planet has considerable profits.

"Usually, when the number of immigrants reaches a certain level and public opinion strongly demands autonomy, a planetary autonomy committee will be established and the development station will be forced to disband.

"On undeveloped planets, with only a handful of immigrants, no one would be foolish enough to set up an autonomous committee to challenge the authority of the pioneering station.

"So it gradually became a habit that a pioneering planet with less than one billion immigrants would not establish an autonomous committee.

"But this kind of convention has no legal basis. The legal requirement for establishing a committee is only 'three people or more'."

"So you took advantage of this loophole and prepared to replace the pioneer station with a committee of only three immigrants, but what benefit does this do to you?"

"The development station has been replaced, so I can only lay off my job and return to the main star to wait for a new position."

"Soma, I know you want to go back, but what's the difference between doing so and resigning?"

"Of course there is a difference! When I was laid off, I was still in the system. When I resigned, I said goodbye completely." Soma showed a sly smile, "It's not easy to stay in the system these days. How can I give up so easily?"

"No, there's something wrong with your expression, you're lying."

Soma didn't feel ashamed at all after being seen through. He laughed and said:

"You are quite capable, Juan. But I will talk to you in detail about this later. Don't worry, it will only be good for you. The most important thing now is to find the third immigrant."

"But where can you find a third immigrant? Is there anyone among your staff who is willing to immigrate?"

"If someone is willing, how can I not find one in 20 years?"

"Count me in." Jack, who seemed to have been staying out of the situation, suddenly interjected.

Juan was very surprised and looked at Jack with disgust.

But it is none of Juan's business if others immigrate, and he has no right to stop them.

There was no surprised expression on Soma's face, as if he had anticipated Jack's choice.

"Jack, you are a transfer from the military. Such a report does not need to be modified. It will definitely pass the review.

Five minutes later, Jack's immigration report passed the review of his superiors.

"With enough people, the Planetary Autonomy Committee can be established. Have you thought of a name?"

Jack had an arrogant look on his face that said, "I'm cultivating immortality, so don't bother me with worldly matters." Juan didn't want to discuss it with him.

Morgan, on the other hand, is serious about "I am a genius and I will not speak casually".

So Juan scratched the green hair on his head and blurted out: "Let's call it 'World Tree'."

He was stunned as soon as he finished speaking.

Why do I say "World Tree"? When I registered my company's name before, I inexplicably reported this name, which ended up causing me a lot of trouble.

Why did you say this name again now?

Is there someone interfering with my thoughts? No, no, it's instinctive. The subconscious mind thinks that it should be called this name.

There's nothing wrong with the name, right? Why am I so persistent in considering its origin?

Something is wrong, there is a problem. But what is the problem? There must be no problem.

Juan shook his head, completely smashing his confused thoughts into paste.

Soma solved Juan's problem: "'World Tree' won't work. It has the same name as your company. When it is reported, it will easily remind people of the relationship between the two. It's not good. Think of another one."

Juan thought for a while and said: "Then the committee should be named 'Brave New World', 'Brave New World Autonomous Committee'. That's right. The emblem is a 'World Tree'."

"Good name."

Juan, whose name was recognized, felt from the bottom of his heart that insisting on using "World Tree" as the emblem was a wise choice.
