Chapter 717 Granting You 2300 Years of Life
Excited netizens from Longguo left messages on Yang Chen's Weibo asking if what the chief engineer said was true.
"Boss Yang, are you really going to build a private space station and moon base?"
"I said that your establishment of an interstellar express company couldn't be just a gimmick, there must be some long-term plan. Sure enough, your plan has been exposed now. I hope Boss Yang can lower the price so that ordinary people like us can have the opportunity to go to space. It would be fine if the round-trip cost can be compressed within 100 million. We have to go up and feel the difference."
"The national team's rocket launch quotation seems to be 3 yuan per kilogram. I hope Boss Yang can lower the price to less than 1 yuan per kilogram, so that I can lose some weight and spend a few hundred thousand to go up and take a look."
"Hubby, do you remember me? It was a dark and windy night. I took your online ride-hailing car, and we accidentally shook a little in the car, and then I got pregnant with your child. I don't ask you for child support, I just hope you can take us with you when you fly to the moon. Okay?"
"Dad, I am your long-lost son. You have ignored me for so many years, and I don't hate you. But you must take me with you when you ascend to the moon, and I will take care of you by your bedside."
……
Everyone on the Internet is more talented than the other and speaks more pleasantly.
Since Hu Ming exposed the space station and lunar base plans, Yang Chen would no longer hide it.
Yang Chen personally posted a Weibo.
"Thank you for your concern. The Starlink 1 space station has been fully produced and is now being assembled and simulated for launch. It will be launched in the early spring of next year at the latest. For safety reasons, our Starlink must complete the track laying in advance to ensure that the space station will not be harmed by space debris after it is launched. As for space tourism, it is not impossible, and the specific cost will be announced later. As for the lunar base, we are currently preparing for the lunar exploration project, and the launch work is also expected to begin next spring. If Chang'e 6 can bring back some surprises this time, our progress may be faster. In short, everything will be announced before the arrival of next summer. The plan to ascend to the moon is not open to the public for the time being. There must be enough experimental data and long enough testing to decide whether large-scale immigration is possible. That's all I have to say, thank you for your concern."
After posting on Weibo, Yang Chen went to find Ying Zheng again.
As soon as Yang Chen's car drove in, Ying Zheng ran over excitedly.
At this time, Ying Zheng looked obviously much older.
"Sir, you are finally back. I have conquered the six kingdoms and have been waiting for you to come back and witness me become the first emperor." Ying Zheng said excitedly.
Yang Chen smiled and gave Ying Zheng a hug, saying: "Sorry, I was preparing to give birth in another world, so I was delayed for a few days. Brother Zheng, how old are you this year?"
"Forty-five." Ying Zheng replied with a smile.
Ying Zheng was born in 259 BC and is 45 years old now. It is now 214 BC. He died in 210 BC, so there are less than 4 years left.
No wonder he looks so old, his various illnesses must be very serious by now.
At this time, Meng Tian came over.
"Oh, Prime Minister, you are back. The king has been waiting for you for a long time, and you are finally back." Meng Tian said excitedly.
Yang Chen smiled and said, “Hello, General Meng. I am sorry for wasting some time. Then don’t wait any longer, let’s hold the coronation ceremony for Brother Zheng immediately.”
According to historical records, in the 26th year of Prince Zheng's reign, that is, in 221 BC, Ying Zheng conquered the six kingdoms and became emperor.
This was in 214 BC, a full seven years had been wasted. We couldn't wait any longer.
Ying Zheng immediately ordered: "Meng Tian, then you go and prepare."
"Yes, sir!" Meng Tian replied, turned around and ran out happily.
Yang Chen diagnosed Ying Zheng. Although Ying Zheng was not at the end of his rope, he was almost there.
He must be taking the "elixir of life" and the signs of poisoning are very obvious.
In Ying Zheng's case, he needs a full body blood transfusion and his important organs must also be replaced so that he has a chance to live a few more years.
However, this surgery is feasible in theory but not in practice as normal humans cannot withstand such an ordeal.
Early the next morning, Ying Zheng's coronation ceremony began.
Originally this was something to be happy about, but after Ying Zheng officially ascended the throne, the generals actually asked the craftsmen to make them all into human figurines and place them in the imperial mausoleum, so that they could accompany Ying Zheng forever. Even in another world, they could still accompany Ying Zheng to continue fighting.
Ying Zheng immediately said, "I understand what you all mean. But I can't do this, or how will people in the future view me? Prime Minister, what do you think?"
Yang Chen nodded and said: "People in later generations have very polarized opinions about Brother Zheng. People who don't like you say you are a tyrant, and people who like you say you are the greatest emperor of all time. We are not money, and we can't please everyone. So, we just need to be ourselves. However, I also think that using living people, especially the soldiers who have made great contributions to the Qin Dynasty, to be buried alive is inappropriate."
Meng Tian quickly said: "But Prime Minister, we are all volunteers."
Zhang Han also said: "That's right! We all volunteered, your majesty didn't force us." Yang Chen immediately explained: "People in later generations don't care whether you were voluntary or forced. You have to know that history is written by people. If the historians in later generations want Zheng Ge to be a tyrant, they can describe him as forcing the soldiers to be buried alive. If the historians in later generations want Zheng Ge to be a wise ruler, they may write that you volunteered. But even if you volunteered, so what? Zheng Ge was wrong for not stopping you from being buried alive, wasn't he? You can't let Zheng Ge bear the eternal infamy just to express your loyalty."
Above the court hall, there was silence.
After a while, Ying Zheng asked, "Sir, don't you have an elixir of immortality? I often stare at the globe you brought me, and there are still so many lands that I haven't conquered yet. I really don't want to die. But I know my body well, and I won't be able to survive for many more years."
Yang Chen took out a bottle of longevity medicine and handed it to Ying Zheng, saying with a smile: "I really don't have the elixir of immortality, but this bottle of medicine can prolong your life. This bottle of medicine is extracted from human blood. If it really works for you, just let everyone donate blood to me, and I will take it back and extract the longevity medicine for you. As for the burial objects in the imperial mausoleum, I still think that real people must not be used, otherwise your historical reputation will be ruined. But I can understand the intentions of the generals, so I suggest that the craftsmen can make human figurines in the image of the generals and put them in the imperial mausoleum to express everyone's intentions."
Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Sir, this is a good idea. Let's use it. Meng Tian, you will be in charge of this matter."
Meng Tian immediately accepted the order.
"It was detected that the host saved the lives of the Qin soldiers, completed the time-travel mission, and gained a disposable lifespan of 10 years."
I rely on!
10 years.
If I could travel to the world of immortal cultivation, wouldn’t that be a big success?
You have to be able to live forever.
Now we just have to wait for the lunar base to be built, and Yang Chen can take his wife and children there to enjoy himself for ten thousand years.
Ying Zheng looked at the small bottle in his hand and asked, "Sir, you said this medicine is made from human blood?"
Yang Chen nodded and said, “That’s right! Under the premise of not affecting people’s health, such a small bottle would require more than a hundred people to donate blood to be able to be refined.”
Meng Tian immediately said, "Your Majesty, this is not a big deal. We are all willing to donate blood to make medicine for Your Majesty. As long as it can prolong Your Majesty's life, we can donate a little blood every day."
Ying Zheng smiled and said, "I understand the intentions of all my beloved ministers. As long as I can live forever, I will conquer all the lands on the globe that the Prime Minister brought!"
After saying that, Ying Zheng drank the medicine in one gulp.
In the past, Ying Zheng needed someone to test the medicine before he took it, and he would only take it after it was confirmed to be safe.
This time he didn't find anyone to test the medicine, which showed that he trusted Yang Chen very much.
"Your Majesty will enjoy eternal happiness and a long life."
The ministers said loudly.
Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Haha... What are the six kingdoms? I must lead you all to conquer a great kingdom! Wherever the sun and the moon shine, it is the territory of our Great Qin. All the people on the globe must speak Xianyang dialect! Haha..."
I really want to help him realize his wish.
After the court session, Yang Chen and Ying Zheng went to the back garden for a stroll.
Yang Chen said: “Brother Zheng, since you want to conquer the four directions, you should rest and recuperate now, let the people live and work in peace, and only when the country is prosperous and the people are strong can you fight.”
"After drinking the medicine given by you, I do feel much better. But I am almost forty years old after all. If I rest for a while, I am afraid I won't have the chance to fight again." Ying Zheng said.
Yang Chen smiled and said, “Have you forgotten that I am the reincarnation of a god? My magic power is limited now, so I can only grant you a lifespan of 2300 years. Since you have such a long lifespan, you don’t have to rush for the time being. Wait patiently for the next two generations to grow up before fighting again.”
When Ying Zheng heard the lifespan of 2300 years, he was so shocked that his face twitched.
Ying Zheng grabbed Yang Chen’s hands and said, “Sir, you didn’t lie to me, did you? Can you really grant me a lifespan of 2300 years?”
“Have I ever joked with you? Run the country well and live well, and maybe we can meet again in more than 2,200 years. My mission has been completed, and I may not be able to come back after I leave this time. Let’s make a two thousand year agreement and see if we can fulfill it.” Yang Chen said with a smile.
Ying Zheng immediately hugged Yang Chen and said with tears in his eyes: "Sir, are you really not going to come back this time?"
“Hey, hey, hey, real man, don’t be so sentimental.” Yang Chen said with a smile.
Ying Zheng let go of Yang Chen awkwardly and quickly wiped away his tears.
“I can only say that it’s not certain. I was able to come here because I had the mission to help you complete the great cause of unification and save hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Now that the mission is completed, I may not be able to come. Before I leave, I will grant you a lifespan of 2300 years. I hope you can see me more than 2200 years later.” Yang Chen said with a smile. (End of this chapter)
