Chapter 34: God
The Tower of Babel, the headquarters of the Ark of the Global Association of Technocrats, is located in Eden. When Eden started to build the island, Su Zhi abandoned the architectural designers and instead solicited the headquarters design draft from the 720,000 scientists and 1.4 million engineers of the whole ark, and finally Roy Odyssey's plan successfully broke through. The Tower of Babel is 1,000 meters high, with a total of 286 floors, a double helix structure, and the bottom is shaped as the flower narcissus of the ark. The architectural design of a scientist is fundamentally different from the designer's work, such as the Tower of Babel. Roy Odyssey's stunning design is capable of generating a nuclear repulsion field that acts like a magnetic boundary pillar magnified countless times. The 1,000-meter-tall building can radiate and quickly improve 20,000 square kilometers of land, while purifying water vapor to disperse radiation clouds, so Eden was the only green island in the world at that time that could directly use precipitation, and the other was a gift from God Maori, which has nothing to do with humans. In order to achieve this effect, the entire building of the Tower of Babel is built with helium three rough stones bonded, and the skeleton is made of nano-metal coated with radium-coated with decay treatment. With Su Zhi's appeal, the Tower of Babel used up 80% of the world's helium three rough stone reserves, which also made it a swan song.
- "The Complete History of Green Island: Eden", IC131, Dipnoer
Eden, the city of science for mankind, is home to the headquarters of the Ark.
At the time of the large-scale relocation of human beings from the shelter, in recognition of the outstanding contribution made by the Ark to the survival of mankind, the global human parliament unanimously passed the Thanksgiving Motion, that is, one of the original 13 green islands was selected by the Ark as the headquarters island, and the selection sequence preceded the choice of the capital island. Surprisingly, Su Zhi, who was the chief magistrate of the Ark Inquisition, did not choose Shangri-La, which was the largest at the time and was discovered by him, but chose this small green island in the Issyk-Kul basin with a total area of less than 1,000 square kilometers in addition to the four large green islands, and named it Eden himself.
At the beginning of the migration, more than eighty percent of the scientists, engineers and escorts of the Ark, which acted according to the principle of scientific co-construction, were sent to other green islands to participate in the clearance and construction. As the construction of various islands was completed successively, it was not until IC7 that the foundation stone was laid in Eden, and the Tower of Babel was her first construction project.
"When choosing (headquarters), someone told me that Shangri-La is more beautiful, and I told him that the mission of scientists is not to enjoy (life), but to create the world! What we need is a field of experimentation, where we will put our ideas into practice, where we will spread proven technology to humanity. This is Eden, who in the Bible belonged to God's domain, and now she belongs to all human scientists! That's what Eden is all about, that's what the Ark is all about! ”
Su Zhi's speech at the time of the inauguration of the Tower of Babel made the soul of Eden, ushering in the most glorious 40 years of history, when she was the place of aspiration of scientists around the world. So Su Zhi is the god of Eden, even after 7 years of absence, and now, the god has returned.
At the base of this double-helix skyscraper is a silver daffodil with six petals, which is the Ark Inquisition on the top of the Daimyo, the six petals symbolize the six-member jury to handle the affairs of the ark, and the stamen-like Tower of Babel symbolizes the supremacy of the president. But now there is only a court in Dunhuang, and there is no president anymore.
IC62, Early Morning, 26 April 62, Magistrates' Chamber.
"What to do? What to do! That old guy is back, and we're dead! ”
"What are you afraid of! That old immortal is 108 years old this year, not 38 years old! Look at how scared you guys are by an old guy! ”
"You're not afraid? Last night's welcome party saw your minion appearance, and ushered in the send-off after running! The old guy only has a great-granddaughter left, do you want to hand us over so that we can be his grandson-in-law!" ”
"You fart! Look at the 4 of you, which one didn't come from the wind and waves? Last night was good, two were absent and the remaining two were like mourning, so you almost put a sign on your head and wrote: Come to revenge, we killed your grandson, or two! ”
"Hmph, the front and the back are respectful, and I want to cover up!"
"You're all of the same heart, aren't you? Referee, you say! ”
"What is there to say?" The old man on the main seat took a sip of tea and calmed down, "Don't make a mistake, the threat is not from Su Zhi himself. Don't look at his prestige, but after all, he is an old man who will choke his breath at any time. The real threat is Lin Ke and her Knights of the Holy Light, who will become unscrupulous with their support. The military affairs are left to the soldiers, and the few of you don't know what to quarrel about, when will it start that even the military will not be difficult for you? Arthur, tell me, are we sure if we tear our faces? ”
The banquet fell silent, and six pairs of eyes looked directly at the soldier who sat in the corner of the hall without saying a word. He was nearly middle-aged, stout, cold, and meticulous, maintaining an impeccable military posture even when sitting in the auditorium without anyone paying attention.
Someone asked, Arthur Fanor stood up with a slam on the ground, his voice hoarse but full of power: "Les Miserables is the strongest powerhouse mechanism of the Ark, and the whole mechanism thinks so." ”
"The strongest? Lin Ke is a third-order powerhouse, is there a third-order powerhouse in Les Miserables? Are you counting on this puppet? Or the madman in the cold storage that no one can control? ”
"It's just a third-order, even if you don't mention the two, there are still three capable people in Les Miserables."
"Clever words! When did the number start to exceed the standard of the strength of the class to become the ability! ”
"If you don't trust me, you can surrender, Mr. Su is loyal and benevolent, and he will not embarrass you."
"You are bold ......" This one was only halfway through the words, a tall figure wearing a ghost face had already flashed beside Fanor, and the golden red lava formed a long sword on his neck, and strangely, the high heat of the lava only circulated in the sword body, and not even a single hair was scorched.
"You see, the puppet may not be a match for the Holy Light General, but it is more than enough to kill a renegade."
"Arthur, that's enough." The outburst of Ghost Face obviously surprised everyone, and it was not until half a minute later that the referee stepped forward to play the round, and Fanol gave a military salute, Ghost Face put away his sword, and stood back in his place in a flash.
Fanol continued to report unaffected: "In my opinion, we will not conflict with Lin Ke for the time being, the deaths of Mo Ju and Su Dingchen can stand up to verification, and they can't get evidence." Today's top priority is the status of Su Lao, which is a political issue, please consider it. After saying this, Fanor sat down, and even closed his eyes, as if to recuperate.
"Arthur is right, the top priority now is the position of the old immortal, if he is still the original president, even if he surrounds this place with the Knights of the Holy Light, no one will raise any objections. He must be offered, and I have a proposal to create a new post of honorary president, with the power to supervise, record, admonish, and teach the affairs of the association. ”
"What about the president?"
"There was no president in the history of the Ark, and this position was specially set up for Su Zhi back then, and so far there are only two terms of him and Su Dingchen. This is not good, it runs counter to democracy, and I don't think there is any need to set it up in the future. ”
Two hours later, the discussion came to an end, not because of the outcome of the topic, but because of the lack of energy of six and a half hundred old men who needed to postpone the meeting until tomorrow.
Only Arthur Fanor and Ghostface were left in the council chamber.
"Today's reaction was overacted."
"I just don't want to listen to those idiots anymore."
"They'll think I did, and don't forget, you're just a doll with their memories erased."
"But I'm not! They're thinking about doing something to the professor! ”
"If we have the chance, we will also attack Su, which is not surprising. Don't forget our common ideals, you shouldn't be swayed by personal feelings. ”
"I don't understand why I can't work with professors?"
"Su Zhi is great. It's a pity that he is too great, and we don't need two leaders for our future. ”
……
Thousands of kilometers away in Greenwich, another god has returned to his kingdom.
Prodigel ignored the thousands of people waiting at the station, and as soon as the train stopped, he flew into the palace.
"Ethelqing, you're back." Elizabeth Angel Queen Windsor rose from her throne and waved back the guards who were chasing Prody in. Prodi never needed to be informed, which was well known to most of the previous guards, and this was a new arrival, which made the joke.
"Ann, your methods don't make sense to me, you should know."
The Queen's warm smile froze on her face, and hypocrisy overflowed from behind the smile, which was shocking.
"Do you have to be like this?"
"If you want someone to cooperate with you, you can summon more mortals in the House of Commons, they like it too."
"Don't you have anything to say about the outcome of this battle?"
"Three dead, one missing, no casualties on the other side, Fina won you again. The person you want is probably back in Eden. ”
"But you didn't make a move!"
"I have been under no obligation to do it for you since ten years ago."
"But we're friends!"
"Me and Fina too."
"I thought I wasn't! You didn't go with her back then, but you chose me between me and her! ”
"You think it's wrong." Prodi floated in front of the hysterical noble woman on the throne, and his indifferent demeanor seemed to be saying something that had nothing to do with the two of them.
The empty council hall was silent, except for the sound of the Queen's heavy breathing. After a long time, the queen returned to the throne and curled up, which was especially wide.
"I won't beg you again in the future, I'll do it myself." Angel's voice was as cold as ice, "The House of Commons is impeaching you for failure, and you should be present according to the law." ”
"Really? Those mortals are boring. ”
Thirty minutes later, Prodi arrived at Greenwich House with Downing, while impeachment was still underway. Prodi didn't know why he brought Tang Ning here, maybe because there were two speakers surnamed Tang in the history of this place.
"In this operation, neither the convening of the able, nor the invasion of the Ark forces, nor the direct destruction of Dunhuang were ordered by His Majesty and this council, and it was the personal discretion of Prodiethel, the prime minister of the kingdom. Councillors, my son is dead, our relationship with the Ark has dropped to a freezing point, we have offended perhaps the most influential old man in the world, but after such a defeat, Prodiecel was warmly welcomed by the people! ”
"Distinguished gentlemen, democracy is falling, our country is inexorably sliding into the abyss of dictatorship, and the power to redeem it is in your hands!"
"Gentlemen, cast your sacred vote to depose a dictator, imprison him, exile him, and form a new government! In this way we will save the country, save the nation, save ourselves! ”
The impassioned speech did not receive the applause it deserved, and Li Minghan suddenly found that the whole venue was quiet. A thought flashed through him, and he only felt a shudder.
Because of his speeches, he was the only person in the audience with his back to the door of the council. Prodi Ethel stood there, silent, so that Li Minghan was not sure how long he had been standing and how much he had heard.
Behind him stood Mae Asano, Sean Gru and a young man with curly blond hair and a pale face, all of whom had indifferent expressions, as if looking at a swarm of ants.
Prodigel beckoned, and the bill on the nearest councilor's table floated up and landed on his hand. He read word for word, preoccupied.
After reading this extra-long bill of more than 15 pages, he deliberately raised his head and looked carefully at the fat speaker in front of him, he was not very familiar with him, so he was a little puzzled, why does a mortal always think that he has the ability to decide something?
Sadly, Li Minghan saw this doubt as a plea. He suddenly came to his senses, straightened his waist and shouted at Prodi: "Even if you are the prime minister, you must stand in the dock and accept impeachment!" What qualifications do you have to consult the sacred motions! Guard, collect the bill, take him into ......"
Prodi interrupted his chatter with a wave of his hand, and the speaker's fat body suddenly stiffened, blood oozing from his pores, and his bones rattling under the weight. I only heard a "poof", and he had turned into a cloud of bloody mud, firmly glued to the floor tiles of the podium.
"There's a bit of noise here, I'm leaving, you can continue." Prodi turned and went out the door. Behind him was the voice of the First Deputy Speaker demanding a vote, and no one rebuked him, not even to clean up the mess.
"Downing, what do you see?"
"To have strength is to be qualified to speak."
Asano smiled: "I'll take you to London tomorrow." ”
The sun was setting like blood, the wind from the North Sea was blowing sand into the city, and it was time for the Greenwich to welcome the night. They have God, they have a master, and they have nothing to fear.
