Chapter 617 The Witch City

The ship girl who participated in the 1280ab-6-4 planet civilization survey was not only the nine ship girl directly led by Xu Xingchen, but also the more than one hundred ship girl who were moving around.

Instead, more than 10,000 ship girls were evenly distributed to all parts of the planet, and basically obtained data from various regions simultaneously.

The capital of the Witch Empire, a key city, has more than a hundred ship girls here, and they have obtained official or underground identities in various ways.

Xu Xingchen led the team to come over directly, and met with the ship girl here. After finding a place to settle down, he began to visit the Witch Capital and exchange information with the local ship girl.

As the capital of the two largest countries on the planet, the Witch Capital is far more than that of the border city of Rodel, in terms of its overall size and prosperity.

The total population of the Witch Capital is nearly eight million, basically five times that of Rodel.

The architectural style of the Witch Capital and the clothing style of the locals are completely different from that of Rodel, who belongs to the Mage League.

The buildings here are obviously much taller, with uniform architectural style and similar architectural appearance. They are square and square in nature and narrow and sharp roofs on the roof.

The colors of the entire city are mainly black and silver-gray, and the entire city gives people a dark feeling.

The pedestrian dresses on the street are obviously divided into two types: one is a very complicated skirt, and the other is a straight and simple military uniform. The design styles are derived from the attendant witch and the combat witch respectively.

However, no matter which design style of clothes, the color of the materials is mainly black and dark colors, but there are two categories of obviously different styles.

The huge city of the Witch Capital, almost no bright colors can be seen.

The social atmosphere of the city and the local social and cultural style are both tend to be solemn and serious, and the cultural product themes are mainly historical, heavy industry, and military themes.

Xu Xingchen, who came from the style of the Mage Alliance, seemed a little out of place wherever he went.

The information ship Sirius, who is responsible for the investigation of the Witch Empire, is now wearing a pure black dress and walking beside Xu Xingchen to introduce the situation here:

"The legal system of the Witch Empire is quite different from the Mage Alliance and the Double Star Holy Sect. You can refer to the Earth's continental law system in terms of wind direction.

"At the same time, the imperial emperors had very great power, similar to the German Empire that had just been unified in modern times, and the social and cultural style was similar to the mixture of Rakshasa and Germany.

"IVF-related technology was completed by the Imperial Official Research Institute.

"According to local practice, this technology can be operated by the imperial official enterprises corresponding to the research institute, or can be authorized to private enterprises or even foreign enterprises.

"But how to deal with it specifically depends on the importance of technology, comprehensive game between the various levels and within the group.

"Last month, almost all media in the whole society, including newspapers, radio, and television, were filled with discussions on related issues.

"This is also a social discussion that often occurs after interviews with various important new technologies.

"Most of the time, the final decisions made by the imperial emperor and the prime minister were in line with the mainstream public opinion trend at that time.

"Although they are not actually selected based on public opinion, the public opinion trend represents the strength of the corresponding promotion agency and can increase the weight in the internal selection of the corresponding agency.

"So, after the new technology was not tested in the past, companies at all levels would have tried their best to make their voices widely through various media, just like advertising.

"In the past, the imperial government's official enterprises, large private enterprises in related industries, and various foreign-funded enterprises would compete fiercely, and they would also undermine each other while advertising.

"So the public opinion trend is not very unified every time, and several relatively strong directions will gradually be formed, and the imperial emperors will choose among these tendencies.

"And this time, most articles and media people believe that the relevant technology should be made public to all companies and that the corresponding companies in the institute can obtain profits through authorization.

"There is basically no noise. Whether private enterprises in related industries or foreign-funded enterprises in various countries are promoting the same disposal plan.

“This seems to have become the only choice, and of course it is also a happy choice for everyone.

"But in the end, the Emperor of the Empire decided that the relevant technology would not be called to anyone, but a new enterprise would be established by the royal consortium to specialize in the management of related technology.

"At the same time, the issuance requires the parliament to draft laws prohibiting any other enterprise in the empire from researching and operating related businesses.

"Now the public opinion exploded directly, and a large number of media began to comment, believing that the emperor was arbitrary and that this would hinder the development of technology.

“The next few days, there were quarrels in the parliament.

"The emperor intends to pass laws to confirm the royal franchise of IVF-related technologies, while a large number of lawmakers stand on various positions to prevent the formation of relevant laws.

"For the time being... it should be said that there will be no results in the short term."

After listening to these descriptions and sorting out the process of the matter, Xu Xingchen asked some uncertain questions:

"Have you said that the imperial official enterprise also mentioned the royal consortium. In an empire, is there any difference between the two?"

Sirius nodded and said:

"Of course there is a difference. Although the Witch Empire is an empire, it is a modern constitutional empire. Although the emperor has great power, the royal family and the country can still be separated.

"Imperial official enterprises are controlled and managed by the civil service system, and are owned by the state.

"The royal consortium is directly controlled by the emperor, but in fact it belongs to the royal private enterprise."

Xu Xingchen suddenly realized it, and then had new questions:

"Then... with the social state of this world, is it better to hand over this key basic technology to official enterprises? Even if it is inefficient, it is better than capitalized management, right?

"Why are the whole society pushing to hand it over to private capital, the emperor tries to let the royal family take control, and the official enterprises become small transparent?

"This kind of technology should be sold in a state-owned way, so how can it be sold in a private company?

"The key is, why did private enterprises that used to undermine each other have shared the same hatred this time?

"Is it just because the royal family wants to take it all? Is it infringing public anger?"

Sirius smiled bitterly and spread his hands and said:

"We can really only judge this at the moment... So Commander, are we going to intervene?"

Xu Xingchen laughed dryly and shook his head:
