Volume I, Chapter 1, Chen Guangbiao's Thoughts, May 2116
Date: May 2116, Tran, Location: TJ, Country C
Country C, an ancient civilization with a long history in Tranxing, was once famous in Transtar because of its abundance of porcelain. Porcelain, once known as China in the world's lingua franca, later, gradually, China, this very representative term, also became the name of the country C in the world of Tranxing.
North of country C, TJ City, 2116, global warming, polar ice melting, sea level rising, 100 years have passed, southeast of TJ City, the ruins of Binhai New Area have been soaked in seawater, the morning sun rises from the sea antenna, the sun, struggling through the thick haze, refracted a strange color, not like the morning sun, but more like the sunset, through the blood red.
Through the window, blood-red sunlight shone into the luxurious wards of a large hospital......
Chen Guangbiao was lying on a hospital bed, with a bearded face, and now he looked like a wild man, and in this bright ward, everything was new and bright, with dewdrops of flowers, smooth metal instruments, and white walls...... It seems that in this room, the only old and lifeless thing is Chen Guangbiao himself, like the only gray in the glamorous painting, a lifeless dead gray.
He looked like he was dead, and if it weren't for the fact that the instrument still showed his heartbeat waveform, no one would know he was alive. His eyes were closed, his face was pale, and he looked lifeless.
But, in the mind of this lifeless man, his consciousness remains, his face is pale, but his consciousness is colorful, colorful: red is the red lips of beautiful women, yellow is delicious bread, green is the shady tree, blue is the sky without a trace, white is the white clouds......
Chen Guangbiao was lying on the bed, his mind constantly flashing colorful memories, the memories generated by his countless encounters with the world, light and sound, cold and heat, etched into his mind, infiltrating each of his neurons, happy, painful, and endlessly beating.
(You, Chen Guangbiao.) On weekdays, you are a successful person in a suit and leather shoes, a famous car and a mansion. What about before the door to success? You are a horse before and after the saddle, day and night, how many officials have you served? How many smiley faces have you lost? How many faces have you seen? Isn't it just to get benefits from them and build connections? ββ10 years of struggle, a full 10 years, you are already a figure with a face in the political and business circlesββChen Guangbiao, Chen Guangbiao, you are willing to work hard, aren't you planning to start enjoying life and looking for a higher life? A voice said bitterly in Chen Guangbiao's mind, like a reprimand from an ancestor, (All this, is it worth it?) οΌ
In April 2116, a month ago, the hospital examination report came out: the lung cancer was advanced, had metastasized to the brain, and if optimistic, there were three months left to live.
The inspection report was placed on the bedside table, and Chen Guangbiao had read it many times, and there were more inspection reports at home, and Chen Guangbiao had also read it many times. The test report given by every hospital is the same: the lung cancer is advanced, and it has metastasized to the brain.
Tomorrow is Chen Guangbiao's 36th birthday, but (next year's today, it's yours...... Another voice said in his head.
(Why?) I'm still young, and besides, I'm so rich...... Another voice sighed in Chen Guangbiao's head. Why, why......
Chen Guangbiao was lying on the hospital bed, and suddenly, his eyes opened tightly, like a corpse suddenly opened his eyes. He tilted his head and looked out the window: Why? Why do I get cancer?
However, why bother, the answer to the question lies outside the window - the thick haze, even the summer sun is completely impenetrable, and the city's high-rise buildings loom in the haze, mysterious and gray, which makes people feel depressed and full of strange reverie. High in the air, looming in the haze. Pedestrians passing through the passage are like ghosts coming and going.
Summer haze should be considered a wonder for people more than 100 years ago, because more than 100 years ago, winter haze was common, while summer haze was rare. The cause of haze, in general, is related to the mobility of air, and the air mobility is poor, and haze is easy to form. The more serious the air pollution, the worse the light transmittance of the atmosphere, the worse the light transmission of the atmosphere, the less sunlight that penetrates the atmosphere, the less sunlight the earth receives, and the lower the heat and temperature of the earth.
The earth, having lost its original heat, can no longer heat the low-altitude atmosphere, causing it to rise and flow. The temperature of the low-altitude atmosphere and the upper-altitude atmosphere tend to be the same temperature, and it is difficult for the atmosphere of the same temperature to flow with each other.
For almost the same reason, in country C, the area where the ocean meets the continent, there is also a decrease in homothermal air mobility. As a result, the year-round smog enveloped the city, and the air gradually became frozen and suffocating.
In many parts of country C, especially in the plains, winter is becoming more and more like summer, and summer is becoming more and more like winter. It feels like a heat death at the end of the universe, coming early.
"I don't want to die!" Chen Guangbiao's mouth didn't move, but his heart was shouting. His godless gaze suddenly became as sharp as a sword, and this sword-like gaze seemed to be piercing at the god of death who was standing in front of him.
1 month later: One day in June 2116, in the office of Dr. Zhang Weining, Hospital in Tlanstar TJ City.
"What's the plan, you ask?" Professor Zhang Weining said, "Is there another plan? He looked at Chen Guangbiao's lawyer, he didn't like this lawyer surnamed Zhao very much, he didn't know what bad idea this person was thinking in his head, for the sake of his master, he seemed to dare to do anything, a loyal lackey.
"Changing lungs and livers may be able to live for an extra year, but as Mr. Chen's attending physician, I don't recommend surgery, because there are metastases in the brain, and the quality of life will be very poor...... Although brain metastases from lung cancer are rare, there is still a 0.05% chance that this will occur, and I have already told you before," Professor Zhang said, "Based on my experience, there is no better plan now." β
"But he's not dead yet, and I have to carry out his idea." "He got rid of all the counselors, and if I don't implement his ideas, I'll be kicked out too." β
Generally speaking, with the help of psychological counselors, most people calmly accept the reality of the end of their lives, and place their last hope on leaving calmly and peacefully, but this Mr. Chen Guangbiao ...... Zhang Weining has nothing to say, persuading the sick to die with peace of mind is the job of a psychological counselor, not the job of a doctor, and now as a doctor, he has little meaningful work to do.
Lawyer Zhao pouted: "He said that in this life, only he brainwashes others, and will never tolerate someone brainwashing him, he wants to live, no matter how much money he spends, as long as he can live, he wants to live forever." β
(Eternal life!) In the depths of Zhang Weining's mind, in the darkest abyss, the word suddenly popped up, (This person, shouldn't he want eternal life?) οΌ
"Zhao Lu, you have something to say." Zhang Weining thought about it and said. In fact, when Lawyer Zhao walked into his office, Zhang Weining saw that he was holding a stack of documents in his hand - this person came prepared.
"So, the final solution ......" Lawyer Zhao handed Zhang Weining what he had in hand, it was a photocopy, it looked like someone's manuscript, it was a copy of a manuscript - "This is my client's manuscript, and his plan." β
(Oh?) What bad ideas did you come up with? Dr. Zhang Weining took the material and quickly flipped through it, "What? It's all ......," he dared to believe his eyes, and he rolled it several times, "Are you sure you want to do that?" He looked at Lawyer Zhao and was shocked.
"Yes, Professor, I'm sure." Lawyer Zhao nodded affirmatively, and he did not evade Zhang Weining's questioning gaze at all.
"Zhao Lu, you are a well-known figure in the legal world, I don't believe you can agree to this plan." Zhang Weining said with some anger, "Even a person like me who is new to the law knows that this is illegal, this is murder." β
(Murder?) Lawyer Zhao smiled mysteriously in his heart, (Murder, is it a big deal?) "This plan can be said to be beneficial to all parties. Lawyer Zhao said calmly, and he handed another document to Zhang Weining, "This plan is very good for your hospital and your reputation, you should understand, sometimes, no, most of the time, propaganda methods can completely cover up the ethical criticism of the plan - and legal issues, with me, you don't have to worry at all." β
Zhang Weining took the material, and there were two big words written at the end of the material: "Agree"
"Dean Cao has already agreed??" Zhang Weining was even more surprised, but he deliberately lowered his voice.
"I'm afraid so," Lawyer Zhao said with a slightly regretful smile, "Moreover, you are in charge." β
"No, I'm going to talk to the dean." Zhang Weining grabbed the materials and went straight to the dean's office.
