Chapter 29—Seeking the Tiger's Skin (9)
Of course not good, Gordon. Putler's words are categorical: What will my people think of me then, after hundreds of years of indoctrination, they will think that I have reached a compromise with you, the prestige that our Gordon family has built up for more than ten generations and hundreds of years will be questioned, and the concept of salvation will even collapse, even if I no longer hold the power of Noah's country, I will ask my children and grandchildren to rule this land with absolute power. If a careerist raises his arms and tells the people that the Gordons no longer dare to fight, and have come to an understanding with your enemies, they are cowards, and the people will quickly abandon me and go to him, and my children and grandchildren will lose their honor, their power, and everything they have, even their lives.
Zhai Yunxiao thought to himself that this matter would be easy to solve: you are worried that this will be easy to do, we can pretend to fail, it is you who defeated us and obtained a new land. Isn't that okay?
Gordon. Putler still shook his head: I haven't defeated the country of clouds for hundreds of years, and suddenly there is a new territory, it's not a question of whether the people believe it or not, but the army is victorious, and in the face of a group of arrogant generals who feel that nothing is difficult, how should I deal with it? My ancestors didn't deal with it, and of course I don't want to deal with it, I won't deal with it, and I dare not deal with it. And the world beyond the Grey Sea is so vast, there are no borders, and in the face of unknown lands and situations, how can my people manage? Forget it, it's good to maintain the status quo. Ever since I took over the country, I've been teaching the people every day to conquer the clouds and liberate the world, but I've never thought that I'm really good, but I know we'll never be able to do that.
And have you noticed? Why should I change people's surnames, forget past history, and advocate for the great law of salvation? Because at the beginning of the establishment of this country, almost all the nations of the world were concentrated in this land, they have their own skin color, beliefs, culture and customs, and the fierce people will do it without saying a word, how do you let us Gordon family manage this plate of scattered sand, we can only force all the nations to be kneaded into a new nation through policy, and all the animals in a forest have been transformed into sheep on a grassland without war or cleaning, which is unparalleled in history. If these sheep degenerate back to their original animals because of my changes, and degenerate into their original beasts, I don't care about that kind of mess.
So, it's best to leave everything as it is, I don't want extra land, and I don't want you guys to pretend to lose to me.
So what exactly do you want? Zhai Yunxiao was a little impatient.
Gordon. Putler also felt that the foreplay had been laid out, spread out his hands, took a sip of wine, and said: I don't ask much, just a small request, and you can easily do it.
Be all ears.
There is a legend, but we all think it is true, because in the country of Noah there is news data from nearly 900 years ago, saying that before a person died, his consciousness was uploaded to a machine body, and it caused quite a lot of controversy at that time, regardless of the ethical disputes, according to the theory, the person has obtained eternal life. And I also know that there are people in your Yunxiao Kingdom who can also store their consciousness in your virtual space, what is it called? Oh yes, it's called the clouds, and once the consciousness enters it, it will no longer be limited by the aging and disease of the body, so that people will have eternal life, right? Please tell me that this is not a legend, nor a myth, but your real black technology. Gordon. Puttler looked at Zhai Yunxiao with a domineering expression, hoping to get a definite answer.
Zhai Yunxiao immediately thought of Stark, but as far as he knew, there was no second person except him who left his consciousness in Yunxiao to gain eternal life. He asked Liang Yimeng in a brain whisper, and the answer he got was that he didn't know that there was still sei. But whether there's just one or many, Gordon. The legend that Putler is talking about is indeed not a legend, but it is a true fact.
So what? Zhai Yunxiao said indifferently: Without the pleasure of the flesh, what is the meaning of eternal life.
Liang Yimeng immediately said: Are you funny? You can enjoy popping in the clouds.
Zhai Yunxiao replied in his head: I'm just using this question to test Gordon. Putler.
Seeing Zhai Yunxiao's confirmed eyes, Gordon. Puttler smiled, high-fived his wife in celebration, and raised his glass to toast to Zhai Liang: So I really don't ask much, I just hope we can reach an agreement, I can let you go, and you promised to leave my consciousness in the clouds before I die, give me a machine body, let me gain eternal life, this should be easy for you!
I just want to live forever on my own, well, to take my wife and the woman I love the most, but nothing else to ask for, nothing to change. As long as you agree, I can guarantee that you will return to the Clouds Kingdom safely. Now it's time to move on to the specific implementation of the program, and we should have a separate line of contact......
The ugly face was finally exposed, and Zhai Yunxiao scolded in his heart: This dead fat man, who wants to ravage the people before his death, and wants to live forever and gain eternal life, eats what is in the bowl and looks at what is in the pot, does all the bad things, and dyes countless lives on his hands, all the excuses he says are outright lies. More than 3,000 years have passed, and the ruler of a country, like the emperors of previous feudal dynasties, fantasized about cultivating immortals, alchemy, and other ways to seek eternal life.
A sad mood spread from head to toe to Zhai Yunxiao's whole body, the lord of a country can not care about tens of thousands of young lives for his own comfortable life, and the ideals and beliefs that those sacrificed soldiers believe in are nothing more than a big pie drawn by the so-called great commander, and they can never be eaten or even seen. They sacrificed their young lives, their young wives, young children, and elderly mothers, but the people who made them sacrifice were wine ponds and meat forests, and groups of wives and concubines, who didn't care about their lives or deaths, and used their deaths to pave their own paths!
Without waiting for Zhai Yunxiao to get angry, Liang Yimeng asked angrily: Don't you want to think about those dead soldiers? Their family? Their children?
Gordon. The beauties around Putler widened their eyes one by one, and they said in their hearts, "Why are you, a little, talking to the great commander like this?"
