#1032 - Chapter 1032: The seven elders jointly proposed a proposal? Arrived at the Kuiper Belt, the
Chen Hao was leading a group of scientists, working day and night on their research.
He didn't have time to focus on how many days were left.
Until… …
"It's done!"
Someone shouted excitedly.
"It's done!"
More excited voices erupted.
Based on the integration of technology from three major civilizations—Earth, the alien civilization, and the Hunter civilization—a further leap forward was finally achieved: the theoretical verification of the warp drive!
It was only a theory.
Moreover, once the theory is put into practice, countless problems will arise during the process of promoting research and development.
But!
Even if it's just a theory, it's already extremely, extremely difficult.
A technological leap!
Just as everyone was extremely excited, the walkie-talkie suddenly rang.
"Chairman Chen!"
It was Xiang Yan's voice: "General Wang is on the phone!"
Chen Hao was stunned.
He quickly ran out of the underground research institute.
Once above ground, he immediately called back.
"Commander!"
General Wang's voice was very urgent: "There's… … less than a day left!"
He knew the overall plan, knew that the commander was leading the scientists, working day and night on research, and couldn't be disturbed unless absolutely necessary.
But now… …
Chen Hao immediately put on sunglasses and contacted the control team: "I'll control Shuton!"
… …
A month ago, one hundred million people died tragically.
Their life force was used to nourish that unknown lifeform hidden in the black hole.
The extracted intelligence was divided equally among the seven major families, ushering in a once-in-a-decade revelry.
Elites within the families gained the opportunity to enhance their intelligence.
At the same time.
A portion was also taken out as gifts to win over other forces.
Such as top scientists.
Such as other families.
In fact, the effect was very limited: all seven major families would give 'gifts', and after receiving gifts from various families, the three scientific leaders would not completely lean towards one side—the seven major families were also well aware of this.
To put it bluntly.
It was enough as long as they didn't lean towards the rival.
Helong, as one of the seven elders, thought the same.
Until… …
'Elder Helong, do you have some time?'
Helong received a message from Shuton.
What the hell?
With a thought, he quickly replied: "Director Shuton, is there something you need?"
"I'd like to discuss something with you."
"Good!"
The other party didn't say what they wanted to talk about specifically, which made Helong very excited.
Could it be that this scientific leader was going to lean towards him?
Whatever the reason, the fact that the other party took the initiative to propose a meeting was definitely not a bad thing!
In less than half an hour.
Helong arrived at the agreed location.
It was a villa under Shuton's name.
To avoid being discovered by rivals, Helong only brought one bodyguard with him, and he also made very good disguises, quietly entering through the back door.
As soon as he entered the door.
Bang!
As the door closed, an electric net covered them.
Instantly, Helong and the bodyguard fell down, convulsing uncontrollably.
What he didn't know was… …
Before him, an elder had already come, and next, more elders would come.
… …
The Council Tower.
The power center of the entire Hunter civilization.
For basic administrative power, the seven elders could make decisions, but various matters written into national policies and laws had to be passed by the council to be amended.
The council convened once every three years, unless there were special circumstances… …
For example.
If four of the seven elders proposed it, an emergency meeting could be convened.
300 councilors.
Seven elders.
All arrived in the shortest possible time.
According to the council's charter, if the proposed issue was within the scope of existing national policies and laws, it could be passed with a simple majority vote, but if it involved changing national policies and laws… … the requirements would be much higher.
At least two-thirds approval.
Hundreds of councilors took their seats, and many were whispering to each other.
They were all asking about the reason for the emergency council meeting.
"Everyone!"
Groll took the stage first, and said in a deep voice: "After private communication between me and the six elders, we all believe that the current system restricts development."
"We are not against the parliamentary system, but the elder system has led to very serious internal friction within us!"
Today's topic is… …
Changing the system!
The parliamentary system certainly cannot be changed, otherwise the councilors would not agree.
Under the premise of retaining the parliament, the power of the seven elders should be transferred to the hands of one supreme leader to eliminate internal friction!
Once internal friction is eliminated, all forces can be used for external development.
Can it pass?
"I disagree!"
"Disagree!"
"Veto!"
Without even waiting for a formal vote, countless councilors stood up to object.
In their view, the seven elders proposed this system, perhaps sincerely to eliminate internal friction, but weren't the seven elders also hoping that they themselves would be in sole control of power? They all had a one-seventh chance.
The most important point!
Once it is changed to a supreme leader parliamentary system, although the parliament will still exist, the supreme leader's power will be too great.
Currently, the seven elders compete with each other, and they are bound to win over other councilors.
This leads to the small and medium-sized families of the councilors being able to obtain various powers and benefits from the competition among the seven major families.
But once power is centralized… …
The supreme leader will even be above the parliament!
The value of small and medium-sized families will be greatly reduced.
Therefore.
Even if the parliamentary system is retained, they will not approve it.
Want to pass a resolution to change national policy?
Dream on!
"Elder Groll, if you and the six elders are proposing this for that purpose, I'm afraid… … it's impossible to pass!" one councilor directly pointed out.
"This is not my intention alone."
Groll frowned.
"Does it matter?"
The other party retorted.
It doesn't matter!
Even if the seven elders propose it together, when the vast majority of councilors disagree, the proposal cannot be passed.
"If… …"
Suddenly!
Groll opened his personal terminal, and after the holographic projection was enlarged, it appeared in the air above the high platform: "I not only propose the proposal, but also propose myself as the first supreme leader—if it doesn't pass, the technology will only belong to me personally."
"Even, I will establish a new country in my own name!"
Split?
Declare independence?
Just as everyone was shocked by his almost crazy remarks… …
Everyone's eyes fell on the holographic projection.
… …
16 light-years away.
How vast is the Kuiper Belt surrounding the solar system?
Suddenly!
Ripples appeared in different areas of the Kuiper Belt.
Immediately afterwards, warships jumped out one after another.
Hunter Civilization Fleet.
As many as thousands of ships!
Last time, they were too careless, thinking that the other party had no ability to fight back.
This time, they will never make the same mistake.
After completing the final jump, instead of stopping there to scan the solar system, they opened the hatches immediately.
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
From within as many as thousands of mother ships, countless medium-sized combat ships, and even more single-soldier fighters, rushed out.
Thousands of mother ships were already terrifying enough.
As all the aircraft poured out… …
The Kuiper Belt was filled with tens of thousands of aircraft of all sizes.
Large number!
Large coverage area!
Last time, they could launch a sneak attack against one warship.
Now, how to sneak attack?
Tens of thousands of ships!
Spread all over the Kuiper Belt!
