Chapter 489 Centralization of power!


    The King of Strong Mouth remained unmoved: “Huh, I have no idea what you are talking about.


    "Is it possible that I can control things like rising temperatures?"


    Li Wenhao became even more angry: "Stop talking nonsense!


    "It is true that the temperature is not under your control, but after the temperature obviously started to rise, I made arrangements in advance, and you deliberately delayed the time, operated so slowly, and deliberately leaked the old industrial area!


    "If you were operating normally, how could the old industrial area catch fire due to high temperatures?"


    The talkative king was still confident: "No, why am I operating so slowly?


    “Am I not allowed to find and operate these many industrial areas one by one?


    "Why, when I was the head of state, you were unhappy because I thought you were slow in operation. I also said that if you were the head of state, you would definitely give me enough time to operate and not interfere with me.


    "What now? Do you think what you said is fart?


    "Don''t you think I''m too slow?


    "What did you say at the time? Operations take time. You can stand and talk without back pain, so why don''t you come? You''re slower than me!


    "Why do you think I deliberately missed the old industrial area?


    “Four industrial areas were burned this time, and I didn’t intentionally target the old industrial areas.


    "Purely because I don''t have enough time, I can only give priority to protecting those new industrial zones with high levels and high output. As for the old industrial zones, the output itself is not high. Is there something wrong with me putting it last?"


    The corners of Li Wenhao''s mouth twitched slightly: "Let go!


    "Are you blind or something? Didn''t you see the inspector was investigating inside?"


    The King of Strong Mouth: "Haha, his investigation has nothing to do with me?


    "There is only so much that can be saved. Other industrial areas and workers are creating value, but this inspector does not create value, so the priority of rescue must of course be lower.


    "Besides, it''s not like I didn''t save him. I tried to put out the fire, but the temperature rose too quickly and the fire was too intense, so I couldn''t save him."


    Li Wenhao was simply speechless.


    You really won’t admit it, right?


    Obviously, now Li Wenhao knows very clearly what the strong-mouthed king has done, and the strong-mouthed king also knows very clearly that Li Wenhao knows what he has done, and Li Wenhao also knows very well, and the strong-mouthed king also knows very well...


    In short, both of them knew it, but the loudmouthed one refused to admit it.


    Anyway, this is a natural disaster, and you have no evidence to say it was me.


    "Okay, let''s break up, right? Just wait."


    Li Wenhao was also very angry. He didn''t plan to continue playing house with the powerful king.


    Either you die or I die today!


    He immediately started searching in the technology tree about the system.


    If you want to kill the Archon, the game provides two methods.


    One is centralization.


    The other is public opinion judgment.


    Centralization of power is easy to understand, which means that the head of state further expands his power and weakens the power of the consul.


    When the power of the head of state is expanded to a certain extent, he can have the power of life and death like the emperors in ancient times.


    When the time comes, if you want to kill the Archon, it will only take a few clicks of the mouse to replace him with someone else.


    The public opinion trial is another completely different method.


    In this process, the Führer neither centralized power nor weakened the power of the consuls. However, the influence of public opinion must be continuously improved in the system.


    By revealing more and more information, public opinion puts the Führer and the Consuls on trial.


    When the consul''s public support drops to a certain level, the head of state can replace him through regular procedures.


    However, there are risks in doing so: if public opinion''s satisfaction with the head of state drops to a certain level, they may also overthrow the head of state.


    Alternatively, the consul may in turn use public opinion to achieve the so-called "scheming to usurp the throne."


    Although Li Wenhao doesn''t know exactly how to do it yet, the existence of this risk is obvious.


    "Ha, if that''s the case, don''t blame me for being cruel!"


    Li Wenhao decisively chose the first method.


    In his opinion, the second method obviously has hidden dangers.


    What if the consul manipulated public opinion and killed him?


    This is a game after all. Who knows how the so-called public opinion system in this game is made? If there are any loopholes in the AI ??itself, wouldn''t it be embarrassing?


    It''s like shooting yourself in the foot.


    As for the first method, it seems much safer.


    Centralization is obviously a very bad word in real society, but it is really hard to say in this kind of business simulation game.


    After all, in other similar games, when there is only one player, doesn''t he play an extremely centralized leader?


    The worst outcome is that you get a little tired and do all the dirty work.


    Therefore, Li Wenhao decisively lit up this technology tree.


    To achieve the final goal, you must unlock it step by step. At the beginning, there were only many restrictions on the power of the consul. For example, if a certain line or building built by the consul did not meet the wishes of the head of state, it would have to be demolished after the head of state issued an order.


    Going forward, when the consul builds a certain line, he must issue a request, and construction can only begin after the head of state agrees.


    Otherwise the plan will be dialed back.


    In the final stage, the consul became a pure tool man with almost no power. From development planning to specific construction plans, everything was decided by the head of state.


    As soon as this technology point was reached, the King of Strong Mouth immediately became impatient.


    “No, you’re using my hard-earned resources against me??”


    Obviously, the King of Strong Mouth simply couldn''t accept it.


    The appearance of the inspector before had already made him very unhappy.


    In his opinion, it’s no big deal to falsely report some data. Doesn’t it affect normal production and construction?


    You pretend not to know, and I can have a more relaxed time here. Isn''t this a win-win situation?


    I have to get an inspector to disgust me.


    You''ve finally got rid of the Inspector. You''re almost done. Although you are the head of state, you can''t play the game without me, right?


    As a result, instead of retreating despite the difficulties and maintaining a tacit understanding, the head of state directly broke out and wanted to fundamentally restrict his power.


    Is this a big deal?


    If he really keeps clicking according to this technology tree, then he will have to check the box of the head of state to agree to every building he takes. Wouldn''t he be kneeling like a dog to others?


    Resist, must resist!


    The first reaction of the strong-mouthed king is to be as uncooperative as possible.


    The production lines were not laid out well, the buildings were not built well, and even the reported data was blatantly increased to make more false data.


    It was as if he didn''t want to cooperate at all.


    However, the consequences of this incident were far beyond his expectation.


    The consul''s public opinion data began to plummet, and the research and development speed of the technology points clicked by the head of state became faster!


    Obviously, the speed of research and development of scientific and technological points in the political system does not only depend on the amount of resources, but also depends on public opinion data.


    The system of public opinion data is very interesting. It does not work at all times. For example, once the head of state completes dictatorship and centralization, the public opinion data will be completely useless.


    On the contrary, if the head of state decides to go to the other extreme, then public opinion can directly decide whether the consul and the head of state will stay or go.


    At this time, the system on this comet is probably in an intermediate state, a bit like the check and balance between the emperor and the prime minister in feudal society.


    The emperor has more power, but the prime minister also has a lot of executive power.


    At this point, public opinion data plays little role.


    But when the consul deliberately fails to cooperate with the head of state''s goals and does not seriously engage in construction, public dissatisfaction with him will in turn promote overall scientific and technological research.


    This means that the people are also dissatisfied with the consul and therefore support the Führer to impose more restrictions on him.


    "???"


    With the completion of the research and development of technology points, the King of Strong Mouths typed a series of question marks on the screen.


    Because as soon as this technological point was completed, he saw that a building he had randomly photographed was labeled as "demolished" by the head of state.


    The building itself was built because of his uncooperative play. There were no supporting resources nearby, and it basically didn''t have much meaning other than a waste of materials.


    The only way to save it is to build a new industrial zone around it, but that would seriously affect the existing planning of the surrounding industrial zones.


    The reason why the loud-mouthed king does this is actually to demonstrate.


    If you want to mess with me, fine, then I’ll take random pictures of buildings!


    Anyway, in the end, neither of us can pass the level, so who is afraid of whom?


    Unexpectedly, after the completion of this technological point, the head of state directly marked "demolition", and the building entered a countdown to demolition.


    Demolition will result in the loss of some resources, but fortunately with the support of Comet Technology, most of the resources can be recovered.


    In other words, the consul can indeed build randomly, but the head of state can demolish everything if he changes his hands.


    Moreover, every time the Archon builds randomly, there will be a built-in AI to evaluate the rationality of this operation and affect the public opinion data of both parties.


    The more public opinion is against the consul, the greater the power of the head of state, and the faster various measures to restrict the consul are introduced.


    The more the loudmouthed king resists, the more the situation on this planet will move in the direction the head of state wants.


    "Haha, if the tiger doesn''t show off its power, you think I''m a sick cat?


    "I can''t cure you yet."


    Li Wenhao just wanted to put his hands on his hips and laugh three times.


    Are you still squeaking?


    So, this consul is so inferior. The head of state is the one who holds the highest power. Isn’t it just a matter of hands to control your little consul?


    When you are done with it, you can lead the silicon-based villains out of the comet and fly to the sea of ??stars. It won’t be too late!
