This was Yao Yuan speaking at the House of Representatives The rooe in the middle Nearest to him were the representatives, then the authorities from the Academy, Barracks, and Workshop After that were the publicwas live-broadcasted throughout the Hope Other than the few Defense Unit soldiers ere not on the Hope, the rest tuned in

The first two points brought up by Yao Yuan received no objections In fact, eht up his third point, the hall erupted into pandemonium Some of the representatives protested loudly and even parts of the public me that it covered what Yao Yuan said next

"Silence!"

The speaker of the house ordered sternly after putting his microphone to maximum volume The hall quieted i, "This is the House of Representatives! Rioters will be escorted out without question! Please give our captain the respect he deserves!" Then the English gentleently

Yao Yuan wasn’t at all flustered He continued, "I know my third point is hard to accept by many people here because how could money buy freedom? Especially freedom on the new planet, but I have a question for everyone here and the people watching from home: are H-coins only money?

"No! H-coins aren't just money pure and simple! I believe in the six years after the Hope left Earth, other than the few families who had hu atop a hoard of H-coins for no good reason In other words, the H-coins you have in your ID card represent the contribution you have provided to humanity! It is a point of honor, a reward for your blood, sweat, and tears! They are earned through hard work! So you can be proud of!

So…"

Yao Yuan addressed the room, "Why can’t H-coins be used to purchase this valuable opportunity? The more H-coins one has means that the more he or she has contributed to humanity, so why can’t he or she have the priority to resettle the new planet?

"That is why I caible for the first 2 rules will not be taken in consideration for the third rule That is only eligible for the nor in the Hope’s lower one to third floors! It is fair, open, and transparent! The whole selection and purchasing process will be put online, so anyone can monitor it at any time they wish Cheaters will be punished by death!"

Yao Yuan took out a bound to, "All the resettlement rules will be written in this white-covered folder At the saital version will be available online I will single-handedly oversee the details that are added within We will accept comments and h e-mail, phone calls, or even in person I promise you ill take them into serious consideration Of course, we can’t promise everyone’s comments will be taken into effect, but we still wish to hear from everyone"

Yao Yuan took a pause and set down the book "Everyone, it has been six and a half years since we left Earth That is one hell of a long ti to welcome a new Earth into our lives Humanity will survive and flourish on it We will see with our own eyes our children running through the fields as we tell them stories about this other Earth we once occupied This is just a matter of sooner or later, so please do not fret…

"Because the future is long!"
