Wandering Meteor

Light Synthesis Civilization said, "Our original system is quite similar to communism, so we agree."

The Social Faction added. "We agree as well, this is for the benefit of Earth Civilization and the Wandering Alliance."

The Social Faction then continued: "Furthermore, we have two more opinions to express. Firstly, according to our statistics, over the past few years, the number of labor protests and strikes has been increasing. Within the last five years alone, there have been more than two hundred incidents, averaging over forty protests per year. The protests often demand a revision of workday regulations from Earth Civilization to change the five-six-seven days to rest days, transforming the work week to three days of rest and four working days. However, as increasing rest days simultaneously raises capitalists’ costs and reduces their profits, Earth Civilization has never agreed. We would like to remind everyone that with today’s level of social production, working four days a week is not an excessive demand."

"Secondly, the situation we are facing now is different. We need to consider not only humanity but also the existence and opinions of robots. Due to their advanced learning and computational capabilities, they have acquired a substantial amount of knowledge, which can be transformed into productive resources. This means robots are a unique existence integrating labor and production assets. Moreover, our society has continuously developed based on robots and artificial intelligence, so we cannot dissociate from them. If we do, it will significantly regress our socioeconomic status and civilization level. As robots combine labor and production assets, they do not necessarily depend on us."

Upon hearing this, Earth’s Capitalist Faction and civilization’s upper echelons understood.

This was not merely a matter of system reform but also of the will of the robots.

Despite being superior to humans, robots, agreeing to negotiate chiefly out of respect for individuals from Celestial Civilizations like Constant Star Lu Chen, are still considered a weaker group compared to Celestial Civilizations.

Moreover, the Social Faction was right; Earth Civilization has relied on artificial intelligence for its development for many years. Moving away from robots would indeed lead to significant regression.

Although society could still progress without robots, it would be at a much slower rate without the boost from artificial intelligence, which is not what they wanted to see.

Such dependency had been predetermined from human choices long ago; reversing it now seemed impossible.
