Star Survival: The Rise of the Fourth Scourge - Chapter 427

c427 Decentralization under centralization

“I have some ideas about the planning of the new political system structure. Ladies and gentlemen, I believe everyone knows clearly the reasons for the decline of the old empire. In the late empire, the administrative capacity of Terra was seriously corrupt and bloated. Often a problem, even a small one, would take decades to be solved. Sometimes the enemy came to the doorstep, and the intelligence about the enemy was still being conveyed between departments. Therefore, in order for the administrative system of the new empire to operate efficiently, I propose to implement decentralization under centralization.”

Decentralization under centralization?

The six people looked at each other in surprise at Charles Caron’s words.

Ralph asked, “Lord Charles, why decentralization under centralization?”

With a solemn expression on his face, Charles replied, “Everyone present is an ordinary person. Even if we have undergone longevity surgery again and again, we will die one day, but the “king” is different. The “king” is a living saint. He will always exist, which makes it possible for the empire to last forever. As long as the “king” is still there, the empire will not collapse. Therefore, the “king” represents centralization, and all the rights of the empire belong to the “king”. Decentralization is to establish an aristocratic system. New territories will be granted to people with titles for management. This is autonomy under decentralization.”

Everyone understood what Charles meant.

If there is a piece of land, the owner of this land is the “king”, and the king has all rights.

But the king can divide this land into countless small pieces of land, and then give others management rights to rule for the “king”.

In this way, administrative efficiency will be guaranteed.

But the nobles only have management rights.

With one order from the “king”, the divided land can be taken back and given to others for management.

“What if the king is not here?”

Navigator Ambassador Lowell Ain suddenly said.

In response to Lowell’s words, Charles said calmly: “If the “King” is gone, no matter what political system, it will follow the old path of the old empire. This is human nature. Maybe the empire can be glorious for 10,000 years, but it will eventually embark on the old path of destruction.”

Hearing this, everyone was silent.

Whether an empire lasts long is closely related to the ruler.

In the old empire, if there had not been that great rebellion, the emperor would not have sat on the golden throne.

If the emperor did not sit on the golden throne, the empire would not have declined.

It will prosper and find a way out under the leadership of the emperor, and the empire will last forever.

And the “King” of the new empire is too similar to the emperor during the Great Crusade.

It’s just that it is still developing now.

But one day, the king will launch a great expedition to the Milky Way like the emperor.

And the fate of the empire is also closely related to the “King”.

As long as the “King” is still there, the empire will continue to exist.

“I have no objection, but this matter needs the approval of the “King”!”

Ralph doesn’t care what kind of political system the empire implements.

Charles nodded and said, “Leave it to me. I will go to the temple to meet the “king” tomorrow!”

Marianne, who had been listening quietly to everyone’s words, spoke.

“The king is not in the temple.”

The king is not in the temple?

Charles’ eyes flashed with surprise.

They saw the “king” a few days ago. Could it be that the “king” is asleep?

No, this is impossible.

Because the Star Torch is not activated.

Charles asked, “Mrs. Marianne, I wonder where the “king” has gone and when he will return?”

Marianne shook her head and said, “I don’t know. When the king left, he only said that he would be back soon.”

“The king is on the Far Journey.”

At this time, Ralph suddenly spoke.

Of all the people here, he is probably the only one who knows where the “king” is.

No one else is qualified to explore the “king’s” whereabouts.

Far Journey?

Hearing this, everyone understood.

Far Journey is the “king’s” vehicle.

And Lord Ralph’s wife is the head maid beside the king.

It’s not surprising that he can know the whereabouts of the king.

Charles said to Marian: “Lord Marian, please let me know when the “king” returns to the temple.”

Maryan nodded in response.

Although he didn’t know why the “king” wanted to return to the Far Journey, which was about to be sealed.

But Charles knew that it was best not to disturb the king at this time.

“Now, regarding the population, regarding the matter of artificial people, does everyone have any opinions?”

As soon as Charles said this, Gavin Matthew spoke first.

“I have no opinion on the matter of artificial people. There is no difference between natural birth and birth from an artificial womb. This is science, but I hope Lord Charles can ask the king what means can be used to increase the number of people with psychic potential. There are too few people with psychic potential. If this continues, the Astronomical Language Institute will soon not be able to provide enough astropaths to the Imperial Navy.”

There is something very strange, very strange.

Among the more than 10 million people in the colony satellite, no one has psychic potential.

At present, the disappearance of Ark 1 has made the Astronomical Language Institute lose the channel to obtain new people.

Ralph asked curiously, “Lord Gavin, there are tens of millions of people in the empire right now, how can there not be enough people with psychic potential?”

Gavin shook his head and said, “None of the people from that place have psychic potential, and no psychic potential was found among their offspring. Only the people who woke up from the Far Journey had some psychic potential among their offspring, but you also know that Ark 1 is missing.”

Hearing this, everyone’s face darkened.

The imperial subjects obtained from the trade mall are indeed problematic.

Charles pondered and said, “In that case, I’m afraid we can’t use the genes of the imperial subjects in the colony satellite.”

Gavin frowned and asked, “What about artificial humans? Where do we get genes from?”

At this time, Donald, who had remained silent, spoke up.

“There is a gene bank of imperial subjects on the Far Journey. Although there are only a few hundred thousand backups, it should be enough. However, we can’t cultivate too many of them. Perhaps, the tens of millions of imperial subjects on the colony satellite are the hope of the empire.”

Everyone vaguely guessed what Donald, the great sage of science and technology, meant.

Speaking of psychic power, people will think of the subspace.

The old empire has been escaping from the subspace, but it can’t do it.

Because the existence of psychics shows that humans are closely related to the subspace, and the subtle connection between humans and the subspace cannot be cut off.

And now, it gives everyone hope.

But is it really a good thing to have no psychics?

Without psychics, how can the imperial fleet navigate in the subspace?

Absorb the jump technology of other civilizations?

Isn’t this a bit too far-fetched?

Moreover, this is no longer the old imperial era.

The subspace has returned to peace, and those terrifying existences have also subsided.

If the subspace can be used reasonably, it will be beneficial to the development of the empire.
