Osborne Megacorp

After dealing with the episode on Earth, Harry wanted to return his sights to Mars.

Now the colony is actually under the jurisdiction of the "Mars Parliament". According to the latest United Nations law, the parliament is mainly dominated by three major powers. As for why there are no other two major powers, of course it is because they do not have the ability to independently spaceflight.

Why should we give you a seat if you don’t have this ability?

But when it comes to space capabilities, the smooth construction of the Mars colony is entirely due to the technology of the Osborne Group. Without Osborne, they would still be in the space race.

Harry understood this, and so did they. By bypassing him and taking the lead in establishing the Mars Parliament, it was clear that they wanted to unite to suppress the Osborn Group.

For political reasons, it is not convenient for Norman to oppose this proposal, but as long as Harry requests it, he will definitely stand on the side of the Osborne Group.

Several other countries still understand this truth.

In the holographic conference room, Harry called representatives from several other countries.

The conference room is quite simple, with darkness all around, except for a beam of light in the middle, where the executors under supervision should stand.

Standing there, one is subject to all-round scrutiny from the audience, and Harry once reported to them from that position.

This time, Harry sat at the same height as them.

"Everyone, let me be blunt. I know what you are thinking, but the establishment and development of the Mayflower Colony cannot be separated from the Osborne Group."

It can even be said that with the Mayflower Colony owned by the rising Osborn Group, Harry can develop outer space by himself if he wants, and it is the same now.

The representatives fell silent.

It is a matter of course that enterprises are controlled by the state, but this kind of control is not controlled because the name is called "enterprise", but because it is controlled, it is called an enterprise.

But Osborne Group... can already be called a "giant" enterprise.

The sinking of Tokyo led to the demise of Japan, and the demise of Japan caused violent turbulence in the world economy. If the Osborne Group gave up its business, the impact would even be greater than the demise of Japan.

Without it, social development will regress significantly.

Osborn and the group's unique socialized parenting measures and synthetic human technology allow the group to have an autonomous human system and even form a small society internally.

Even if these countries unilaterally declare the Osborne Group illegal, Harry still has employees willing to safeguard the company's interests.

And these employees can run all aspects of the company normally: foreign wars, confidentiality work, scientific research and development, etc. This is just like a country disguised as a company.

Or a company that pushed boundaries, all because of Norman's indulgence and support.

Feeling the eyes of other representatives looking at him, Norman didn't even feel the slightest emotion in his heart.

What is this called?A thief who steals a hook, steals...

Of course, when it comes to the development of the United States alone, it is absolutely prosperous, but it only supports the monster of the Osborne Group.

"I agree with Harry. We cannot leave behind the heroes. In the process of going to space, the power of enterprises has played a huge role. We should set up a seat in parliament to represent the voice of enterprises." Norman took the lead in expressing his position.

What else can the other two representatives say?Of course we agreed, otherwise the Mars Parliament would have no meaning if the Osborne Group left and the United States left.

But compared to the original five major countries, now we have killed two and added one new one, which can be considered an improvement.

Then the seat representing the Osborne Group lit up, and Harry smiled with satisfaction.

Now, the Martian market is truly a "free market" for him.

"Then I have a proposal here: The Osborne Group plans to purchase a piece of land on Mars for scientific research. As a price, I can give up the administrative rights of the Mayflower Colony."

Harry took the opportunity to tell him the purpose of his trip: the Greek plains, which will serve as the location for the Mars Moho Project.

For Harry, the scientific research value of Mars is greater than the colonial value, and the Osborne Group does not need a Mars colony to boost the company's confidence. He already has a better one.

The other two representatives were a little surprised: Osborne's first proposal when he joined the Parliament was to give up the administrative power of the Mayflower Colony?

They thought that the Osborne Group would put forward a proposal such as "making Osborne Group products the only special product for the colonies."

In their view, Harry's proposal may mean that the Osborne Group intends to open up a new colony, but opening up a new colony is not as good as what we have now. Exchanging the ownership of a piece of land for the administrative power of an existing colony is completely unreasonable. acceptable.

It's just that this is a bit strange: it is indeed normal for companies to buy land, but the Osborne Group's land purchase seems a little different...

Finally, after Norman voted to agree, the other two representatives also nodded.

"Now that Mr. Osborne has made his request, we also have a proposal: How can we exploit other resources in the galaxy in an orderly manner?"

This is a good question. You must know that there are many resource-rich planets in the solar system. If nothing else, the moon is a great treasure.

The moon is rich in helium-3, which is the main raw material for the current new generation of nuclear fusion technology. The fusion reaction rate is high and the neutron irradiation is very low.

This thing is rare on earth, but it is everywhere on the moon.

In addition to helium-3, the moon is rich in many elements, especially iron, which is used in large quantities by humans. It has large reserves and is easy to mine and smelt. On the other hand, the lunar soil itself has certain protective capabilities. Perhaps materials science can learn from this There might be some breakthroughs in the alien soil.

In addition to the moon, Saturn, Jupiter and various planets are all treasure troves containing a large number of resources, so it is not surprising that some representatives raised this issue.

Of course, what they most want to mine must be the moon. After all, the moon is the closest to the earth, and the Earth Alliance does not have FTL technology or Cross particles.

But the moon... there is probably a large group of Inhumans on the back side of the moon, and there is even a leader with incredible abilities.

Of course, we don’t know what their intelligence level is. From a scientific point of view, the closed Inhuman race has a high probability of suffering from various inbreeding complications, which will have a bad impact on the intelligence of the population.

From the perspective of a traveler, the behavior of the lunar aliens in the TV series is also relatively difficult to describe.

If the Inhumans were not there, Harry would have chosen the moon as the first space development object, instead of traveling all the way to Mars and the asteroid belt.

So Harry thought for a moment and expressed his agreement to the plan to mine the moon-but before that, they should have some military capabilities.

This proposal was put forward by another representative: "We should strengthen the UNSC's naval power to prepare for the next contact with aliens."

After saying that, the other people looked at Harry: Harry is a member of Parliament and the top commander of the UNSC.

Upon seeing this, Harry said: "Guys, I have thought about it carefully and I think the UNSC command system does need some changes. We can consider changing to a better appointment system.

But the strengthening of armaments can be carried out at the same time, and I agree with what the representative said. "

Although it was only a verbal agreement, it was already a very big concession.

Thus the first Martian Parliament came to a successful conclusion.
