Chapter 504 503 [Chasing Churchill]

five days later.

Vivien Leigh stood on the balcony, looked at the car approaching in the distance, and said very unhappy, "Why is he here again?"

"Haha, maybe I'm bored." Zhou Hexuan couldn't help laughing.

Ever since they had a happy conversation that day, Churchill came to see Zhou Hexuan almost every day, and they chatted for a long time, which made Vivien Li jealous.

The content of the chat between the two is not limited to future wars, but more about literature, art and historical topics.

Churchill was an avid sci-fi fan and admired the British sci-fi writer H.G. Wells very much, and "copied" famous lines from Wells' novels in his speeches many times. He wrote to Wells last year as a joke, saying that he had read all of Wells's works and that if he used this as an exam, he would definitely get an honor.

Churchill not only loves to read science fiction novels, he also wrote an article some time ago, titled "Fifty Years Later", predicting that human beings will have no worries about food and clothing in 50 years. He believes that synthetic food will achieve unprecedented success. For example, if people want to eat chicken breast or chicken wings, they can directly grow chicken breast or chicken wings in test tubes, instead of raising a whole chicken absurdly.

Churchill was very interested in the sci-fi content in "Titanic". In the past two days, he didn't mention any German Nazis at all, and only pulled Zhou Hexuan to discuss the future society of mankind.

"Hi, Zhou, I'm here again," Churchill entered the living room familiarly, and took off his hat to greet Vivien Leigh, "Mary, good morning!"

Although Vivien Leigh was extremely dissatisfied with Churchill, she still smiled and said, "Good morning, Mr. Churchill."

Zhou Hexuan smiled and said, "Please sit down."

Churchill's habitual action when meeting friends was to take out a cigar and throw it over, then take out a match and light it on his own. He breathed out a puff of smoke comfortably, complaining about the bad weather: "It may rain again today, I really hope that London will be sunny every day."

Zhou Hexuan said: "You can let scientists build a machine to control the weather according to human wishes."

"That's a good idea," Churchill nodded in agreement, "but I'm more interested in your idea of ​​robots. If technology develops to that level, humans won't be needed to fight wars, just send robots to fight wars."

Zhou Hexuan said: "Perhaps in a few decades, there will be no more major wars on the earth. Humans have invented an ultimate bomb, a bomb can blow up the entire London, so the countries that control this bomb can only fight each other. Be afraid to keep restraint. Because once a war starts, it will be the end of both."

"Haha, Zhou, you always have countless fantastic ideas," Churchill laughed, "If you change your career to become a science fiction writer, I will definitely support every one of your works."

"As you wish, I have changed my career." Zhou Hexuan handed over a stack of novel manuscripts.

Churchill was surprised: "When did you create it?"

Zhou Hexuan said: "Yesterday and the day before yesterday, I wrote for two nights. This is just the beginning of the novel."

"I'll read it first," Churchill said.

Completely ignoring Zhou Hexuan's reaction, Churchill read on the spot——

"In 2801 AD, the political unity center of mankind moved from the third planet Earth in the solar system to Deoria, the second planet in the Taurus α system. Human beings who published the founding declaration of the Galactic Federation there changed the year to the first year of the cosmic calendar, and It began to expand endlessly to the depths and borders of the Milky Way. After 3700 AD, the most prominent feature was the chaos of wars and the loss of order, which led to a complete standstill of human external development, just like the energy that was about to explode. A profound crisis is brewing..."

As a senior science fiction fan, Churchill quickly immersed himself in this unprecedented science fiction story. At the beginning, he was quite fascinated by the various future technologies proposed in the novel, such as the "Three Beauties of Star Trek" - the subspace jump navigation method, gravity control technology and inertial control technology, which can allow human beings to travel the vast universe.

While reading, Churchill suddenly laughed, because a controversial tyrant "Rudolf von Goldbaum" appeared in the novel.

This character obviously bears the shadow of Hitler. For example, he promulgated the "Inferior Genetic Factor Exclusion Law", trying to kill all "inferior humans" and select so-called "excellent talents". These "excellent talents" are all white, and they also have ancient Germanic surnames-obviously alluding to and satirizing Hitler's extreme racism.

And the black humor circulating in the novel: "If you don't want to be sentenced to death, go to the police to arrest. People caught by the Social Order Maintenance Bureau have only a dead end!" It uses "Social Order Maintenance Bureau" to imply Hitler's "Nazi Stormtroopers".

The above are just appetizers, and the main course of the text is Star Wars. Although Zhou Hexuan "created" many "sci-fi terms", such as space jumps, computers, etc., Churchill still relied on annotations to interpret them with gusto.

Especially the magnificent interstellar war, the interstellar warship used by humans, let Churchill spontaneously substitute into the British Royal Navy.

Churchill thought to himself: It is a genius idea to place the battle in the universe, with warships traveling through the vast interstellar space, and using laser beams instead of shells.

Churchill couldn't wait to read on, but when he flipped through the manuscript, there was nothing behind...

Zhou Hexuan wrote only three chapters, one prologue and two main chapters. The unprecedented interstellar war made Churchill, a veteran sci-fi fan, unable to stop. He felt like a cat scratching his head, and couldn't help asking: "Is there no more?"

"Yes, no more." Zhou Hexuan nodded.

Churchill asked again: "Reinhardt and Yang Weili, who is the protagonist?"

"Guess." Zhou Hexuan laughed.

Churchill shrugged helplessly: "It's fine if you don't say anything, I just hope you finish writing the novel quickly."

Zhou Hexuan said: "I'm afraid it will be very slow, because this is a long story."

"How long? 200,000 words?" Churchill asked.

Zhou Hexuan said: "Maybe it can be multiplied by 10."

Churchill held his forehead and said, "Oh, 2 million words, are you going to write a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation?"

"Hahaha." Zhou Hexuan laughed.

These days, novels with hundreds of thousands of words are the best, with millions of words very rare, and those with 2 million words are rare.

Of course, Chinese novels are an exception. For example, Li Shoumin’s "The Legend of the Swordsman in Shu Mountain" has been written for nearly 20 years and has more than 5 million characters. Finally, he found a perfect excuse to stop updating—New China forbids the promotion of feudal superstition.

Churchill smoked a cigar and said, "Hurry up and write, I will read the new chapter tomorrow."

"Maybe you need to wait patiently. I will return to China in two days." Zhou Hexuan laughed.

"Shet!" Churchill finally swears.

The future British Prime Minister, Mr. Churchill, embarked on a long road of pursuit. He even left a famous saying to describe the time: "It's as long as the serialization of "Legend of the Galactic Heroes"!"
