Tower of Babel

Zhang Cheng did not purchase real estate in Moscow. The organization allocated a villa to Zhang Cheng in Gork Village in the south of the city. This was an aristocratic villa area during the Tsarist Russia period with an elegant environment. Zhang Cheng made a simple modern layout for the villa. When I came back today, I found that Vladimir and others had been waiting for them for a long time. Even people from the National Opera House came and brought their own catering equipment. Zhang Cheng was not asked to prepare anything except the venue.

Fortunately, the living room of the European classical villa is very large. Although there are many guests, it is not crowded. The protagonist of this event is not Vladimir and others, but Zhang Cheng. Everyone has been waiting for Zhang Cheng to go home. As soon as Zhang Cheng got out of the car, Vladimir hurriedly stepped forward to shake hands with Zhang Cheng. Zhang Cheng smiled and said:"Vladimir, we are all old friends, why should we be so polite? What song are you singing today?" Vladimir laughed and said:"You are the big benefactor of the revolution! You can't wait any longer. General Luo Qiyan, today is your birthday. Don't you remember?"

When he heard the words of General Luo Qiyan , Words, TonyAlthough there are not many readers in Russia who were so frightened that they almost peed their pants, Tonya is definitely one of them. Dongnia didn’t expect that she would meet the supreme leader all of a sudden.···

Only then did Zhang Cheng remember that today was the birthday set in his book, and said with a smile:"I haven't celebrated my birthday for a long time."

Vladimir recently studied Interstellar Voyage, and he had long realized that if this book said is true, then this Luo Qiyan must have mastered the technology of immortality, otherwise he would not have been able to live from the Ming Dynasty to the present. Of course, many scientists talk about the slow-down effect of shrinking feet and clocks. Maybe Zhang Cheng did not master the technology of immortality. But no matter how rough the Russians are, they will not skip this issue.

Vladimir said loudly:"Then let us in Soviet Russia play music to celebrate your birthday every year!"

With an order, the national-level orchestra played in person , I sang to wish you a happy birthday, and nearly four hundred candles were lit. It has been more than three hundred years since the Tianqi period. Zhang Cheng blew the candles and cut the cake, which made a lot of things go to waste. It’s actually quite troublesome to brag about your awesomeness! It seems that I need to change it in the future, such as what kind of candle represents how many years, one represents ten years, one represents a hundred years, one represents one year, and I can’t even light it! It was hard to get through all the red tape. After sitting down again.

The hall was clearly divided into two groups of people. Sitting at the left and right ends of the hall respectively, on Zhang Cheng's side were Adola, Tonya, green, white, red, gold and the four snake ladies. On Vladimir's side are Uncle Steel, Trotsky, and Bukharin. Malenkov, Kirov. , as for the National Opera, the ballet dancers are the foils.

Vladimir ordered the dance troupe to dance a piece of"Four Little Swans" as an appetizer. The next dance was"Death of the Swan", which described the desire for life and entered the theme. The audience enjoyed the beautiful dance.

But Zhang Cheng is relatively vulgar and watches ballet. He only looks at the flexibility of the actress, her one-word skills, her big splitting skills, etc. As for the plot, it is not within the scope of Zhang Cheng's thinking at all. It is completely a chicken-and-duck talk.

After finishing two songs, Vladimir said:"General Luo Qiyan, no matter it is a swan or a human, every living being does not want to die, and every normal person desires to live. You have lived for three hundred years and you are still young. Do you have any secrets?" ?"

Zhang Cheng took a sip of red wine and said confidently:"Why do you ask knowingly? Yes, I have mastered the technology of immortality. I can live forever and be reborn continuously. As long as my soul is alive, I can live to death with human flesh and white bones. Live for three hundred years. It makes no difference to me whether it's a year or three thousand years. But eternal life comes at the price of eternal life."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone started talking and whispering to each other. Who doesn't long for a young and eternal life? After the discussion gradually subsided.

Vladimir said:"Everything has a price. What kind of value will eternal life cost? Or how much?"

Zhang Cheng said:"You are talking about value rather than price. The meaning of price is between value. In addition, what you pay."

Vladimir frowned and said:"What about? Can you give me an example?"

Zhang Cheng said:"For example, people after immortality will lose the ability to reproduce. Life itself is a relay. You will live forever. I just don't play relay anymore, so I can't have children, but my abilities in some aspects are still there, which doesn't hinder the intimacy."

Vladimir nodded, indicating that this was acceptable, Zhang Cheng continued:"After immortality, the soul It will no longer belong to God, but to me, and I will arrange your rebirth or reincarnation in the future. Because even if I give you an immortal body, it cannot guarantee a person's true immortality. Accidents or weapons can still kill this person. This has not changed, but your soul will be different once it is marked with my mark. Even if you die, it will return to my hands, and then I will arrange for you to be resurrected using a biochemical reaction tank, or reincarnated. This is your point. You can choose freely. In fact, the meaning of immortality is not big at all, because everyone’s soul is immortal and is constantly being reincarnated. And I can tell you that the soul itself transcends matter and the speed of light, and it can travel through time. and space, even if the earth is destroyed, you can be reincarnated on other planets or worlds. Resurrection only achieves two things. One is to retain the memory of the previous life and the level of knowledge, and the other is to retain social status and identity property."

Vladimir said:"In that case, can you tell me the difference between choosing full automation now and retaining autonomy? Now I can feel that you do not regard Mao Xiong as one of your own, but just with us After doing a business, I also feel that you will have many benefits for flower growers."

Zhang Cheng smiled and said:"That's true, but Vladimir, I have no ill intentions. The transactions between us are honest, from Europe to Africa is indeed your future territory. There is no doubt that you will gain independence and become a sovereign country. But the future of flower growers will definitely be the stars and the sea."

Vladimir hesitated and said:"Can you take us to travel with you? Stars and sea?"

Zhang Cheng smiled and said:"I must be a foreigner, the so-called Oriental in your mouth, not your tribe."

Vladimir said:"What's so difficult about this? What you want is incense. Or a woman? Or money? If it is incense, we will now canonize you as the god of the nation and enjoy worship forever. If it is a woman, our women are willing to serve you and serve you with their youth. If it is money, we are willing to give you Pay your taxes." It's a completely give-and-take attitude.
