A week, [The Origin] has passed through the Saturn orbit. 一个星期的时间,起源号已经穿过土星轨道。 The central computer has calculated the best route to Centauri, after Warp Engine completely activate(d), it is expected that [The Origin] will arrive in Centauri the 50 year later. The elite from Earth Civilization, using the colonizing equipment that on [The Origin] carries, reconstructs the magnificence of Earth Civilization in that piece of strange Star System. 中央计算机已经计算出通往半人马座的最佳航道,等曲速引擎完全启动之后,预计起源号将在五十年后抵达半人马座。来自地球文明的精英,将利用起源号上携带的殖民设备,在那片陌生的星系重建地球文明的辉煌。 As for whether some day to return Solar System, recaptures Earth Civilization Parent Star from the hand of insect group...... 至于能否有朝一日杀回太阳系,从虫群的手中夺回地球文明的母星…… Matter that these several centuries later can be clear about. 那些都是几个世纪以后才能清楚的事情了。 „Did nice wine, burn...... it to name?” “好酒,就是太辣了点……它叫什么名字？” „Maotai,” facial features old man smiles lightly, said in a soft voice, „looks like Vodka in Russia, in our countries, this type of liquor has formed a culture.” “茅台,”面容苍老的男人淡淡地笑了笑,轻声道,“就像是伏特加之于俄罗斯,在我们的国家,这种酒已经形成了一种文化。” Although with is the Earth Civilization elite, but this does not mean all people being equal on [The Origin]. 虽然同为地球文明的精英,但这并不意味着在起源号上人人平等。 The places of some people, will then have the social class. 有人的地方,便会有阶级。 Principal member country and secondary member nation, Nuclear-possessing Nation with non- Nuclear-possessing Nation, even is on [The Origin] the crew belongs to the nationality...... these to decide directly the going on board list, apportions the passage ticket share of each national or area, and status and position of boarders. 主要成员国与次要成员国,拥核国家与非拥核国家,甚至是起源号上船员的原属国籍……这些都直接决定着登船名单,分给每个国家或者地区的船票份额,以及乘船者的身份和地位。 For example, sits Wang Dehai here. 比如,坐在这里的王德海。 The agreement before according to going on board, after waiting arrives at Centauri, the passengers will defer to once nationality, establishes to belong to Colony of different nationality on the Centauri kind of place planet. For example Russian Colony is new Moscow, Chinese Colony will naturally go to the capital newly, and so on gets down...... 按照登船前的约定,等到达半人马座之后,各国乘客将按照曾经的国籍,在半人马座类地行星上建立分属不同国别的殖民地。比如俄罗斯人的殖民地将会是新莫斯科,华国人的殖民地自然是新上京,以此类推下去…… After Noah's Ark approaches shore, the aristocrat as before is the aristocrat, the civilians as before is civilians. 诺亚方舟靠岸之后,贵族依旧是贵族,平民依旧是平民。 Although these years Wang Family already potential, but Wang Family cannot be underestimated in the China strength as before, otherwise he will not sit here, talked and laughed merrily with opposite foreigner. 虽然这些年来王家已经势微,但王家在华国的力量依旧不容小觑,否则他也不会坐在这里,和对面的鬼佬谈笑风生。 As for sitting opposite of him, came from United States Michael Bloomberg. 至于坐在他对面的,是来自美国的迈克尔·布隆伯格。 Speaking of this Bloomberg, is a extraordinary character. In 1942 was born in one produces the family, Year 2001 became New York City Mayor, his oneself was Bloomberg company Director-General, the public asset surpassed 50 billion USD. 说到这位布隆伯格,也是位了不起的人物。1942年出生于一个中产家庭,2001年成为纽约市市长,其本人更是布隆伯格公司总裁,公开资产超过五百亿美元。 It can be said that Bloomberg really is the model of starting from scratch. 可以说,布隆伯格简直是白手起家的典范。 If makes him comment oneself this life, he most satisfied actually does not beat the political opponent to become Mayor , is also not so-called Bloomberg makes the benchmark of economic circle Bloomberg company, but is he in final final, the complete asset and fund of having sell off the cash, with the 50 billion World Dollar net worth, is Jiang Chen has had in the arms dealer hand of old friend from one completely it is said that bought this passage ticket, the belt/bring the 20 grandsons and discontented two -year-old great-granddaughters sits on this flight that goes to Centauri...... 然而如果让他评论自己这一生,他最满意的却不是击败政敌当上市长,也不是将布隆伯格公司也就是所谓的彭博新闻社做成财经界的标杆,而是他在最后的最后,将持有的全部资产、基金变卖成现金,用全部五百亿世元的身家,从一位据说是和江晨有过故交的军火商人手中,买下了这张船票,带着自己二十孙子以及不满两岁的曾孙女坐上了这趟前往半人马座的航班…… If not, he will not so sit here, with from East red. The color aristocrat sits together tasted to chat. 若非如此的话,他也不会坐在这里,和来自东方的红.色贵族坐在一起品酒谈笑了。 „Are you a person embark?” “你是一个人上船？” „My grandson and great-granddaughter.” Bloomberg smiles, said in a soft voice, „ordinary passage ticket can lead a grown relative and underage relative embarks. Originally I want to leave my son the quota, but he could not accept such present world, in I called after him, he chose the suicide......” “还有我的孙子和曾孙女。”布隆伯格笑了笑,轻声说道,“普通船票可以带一名成年亲属和未成年亲属上船。本来我想把名额留给我的儿子的,但他接受不了这样的现世,在我打电话给他之后,他选择了自杀……” End of the World, that means own dozens years of life experiences, for the lifelong goal has made all effort, and even the lifelong goal, turned into a fantastic joke. Because of cannot withstand such reality to commit suicide, is approaching beforehand one week till Last of Days, has surpassed the 1 million person. 世界末日,那就意味着自己数十年的人生经历,为人生目标所做过的一切努力,乃至人生目标本身,都变成了一个荒诞不经的玩笑。因为承受不了这样的现实而自杀的,在截止到末世来临之前的一个星期,已经超过了一百万人。 Although compared with the more than 8 billion population base, this 1 million person can only say that is a piece of insignificant feather, because of person who the despair died, even surpassed desperate it...... 虽然和八十多亿的人口基数相比,这一百万人只能说是一片微不足道的羽毛,但因为绝望而死掉的人,甚至超过了绝望本身…… „Sorry asked this issue.” “很抱歉问起这个问题。” „No, to my age, actually these things looked opened very much.” The Bloomberg smiling face somewhat was slightly lonely, looks to the starry sky of out of the window, that was the Earth direction, „can in the lifetime, go to other world to have a look also very well.” “没什么,到了我这个岁数,其实这些东西都看的很开了。”布隆伯格的笑容略微有些寂寞,看向了窗外的星空,那属于地球的方向,“能在有生之年,去别的世界看看也挺好。” Although this „good” character, he said quite reluctantly. 虽然这个“好”字,他说的相当勉强。 „Earth...... the present has fallen to the enemy probably.” Stares at the darkness of out of the window, Wang Dehai was sighing in a soft voice, „to be honest, I have not thought that oneself will have such a day.” “地球……现在大概已经沦陷了吧。”凝视着窗外的黑暗,王德海轻声叹道,“说句心里话,我从来没想过,自己会有这么一天。” Perhaps is because brought back once recollection, two people fell into the short silence. 或许是因为勾起了曾经的回忆,两人陷入了短暂的沉默。 „Pitifully everyone only allows to carry ten kilograms baggage.” “可惜每人只允许携带十公斤重的行李。” „What issue has?” “有什么问题吗？” „No...... after all the survival is the first essential factor, but, thinks of me in the Los Angeles villa, these concealed pictures in basement, thought that was somewhat a pity.” Bloomberg smiles weak, „I only hope that these insects do not eat...... the oil painting to eat them are what flavor do not say, but marble statue after all this/should no nutrition.” “没什么……毕竟生存是第一要素,只不过,想到我在洛杉矶的别墅,地下室中的那些藏画,还是觉得有些可惜了。”布隆伯格无力地笑了笑,“我只希望那些虫子们不要将它们吃掉……油画吃起来是什么味道不好说,但大理石雕像总归该没什么营养吧。” „How do you process these collections finally?” Sipped white liquor in the porcelain cup, Wang Dehai looks at Bloomberg, said with a smile. “那你最后是如何处理那些收藏的？”抿了口瓷杯里的白酒,王德海看着布隆伯格,笑着说道。 „I saw somebody off them.” “我把它们都送人了。” „Saw somebody off?” “送人了？” „Un, that sold to my Los Angeles person own passage ticket,” Bloomberg smiles, „these artwares could not carry off in any case, if he plans with that 50 billion an addiction of rich and powerful people, then my these Collection possibly make him install the mastery of rich and powerful people clearly.” “嗯,那个把自己的船票卖给我的洛杉矶人,”布隆伯格笑了笑,“反正那些艺术品也带不走了,如果他打算用那五百亿过一把富豪的瘾,那么我的那些收藏品可能让他把富豪的底蕴装的更逼真点。” At this point, two people smiled as if by prior agreement. 说到这里,两人不约而同地笑了起来。 Bloomberg buys the passage ticket with 50 billion World Dollar the news, has become a very famous joke on this [The Origin] Starship. 波隆伯格用五百亿世元买下船票的消息,在这艘起源号星舰上已经成为了一个很有名的笑话。 Unexpectedly some people are willing to trade one pile of scrap papers with the opportunity of going on living, did not compare this stupider matter again. 居然有人愿意用活下去的机会换一堆废纸,再没有比这更愚蠢的事了。 „After disembarking, what do you have to plan?” “下船以后你有什么打算？” „The Rocky Household eldest son hopes that I go, when their economic advisers, they planned that constructs Colony in the Centauri C star, naming is New Boston......” at this point, Bloomberg stopped the moment, said with a smile, „many words I did not say, who has no way to guarantee, after our friendship can maintain Colony to complete .” “洛奇家族的长子希望我去当他们的经济顾问,他们打算在半人马座c星修建殖民地,取名为新波士顿……”说到这里,布隆伯格停顿了片刻,笑着说道,“多的话我就不说了,谁也没法保证,我们的友谊能维持到殖民地建成之后。” „Said is also.” Wang Dehai did not deny, said with a smile, „with all due respect, can be joined to to become our opponents, only then these Russian, you joined the Earth Defense League time...... only to say that was too late.” “说的也是。”王德海也不否认,笑着说道,“不过恕我直言,配得上成为我们对手的,只有那些俄罗斯人而已,你们加入地球防卫同盟的时间……只能说太晚了。” „Perhaps, these things, after waiting to open eyes, was clear.” Bloomberg smiles impartially, said. “也许吧,这些东西,等睁开眼之后就清楚了。”布隆伯格不置可否地笑了笑,说道。 If the rich resources on Centauri said but actually fortunately, what if waits for in front of them is a piece of resources-short star, possibly their first needs to face, is these and arrives in the Centauri humanity compatriot together. 如果半人马座上的资源丰富倒还好说,如果等待在他们前面的是一片资源贫瘠的星球,可能他们第一个需要面对的,就是这些和自己一同抵达半人马座的人类同胞。 But regarding this point, almost all people have the similar consciousness. 而对于这一点,几乎所有人都有着同样的觉悟。 They are the elites of humanity society. 他们是人类社会的精英。 They approve the iron rule of survival of the fittest nature compared with anybody. 他们比任何人都认同适者生存这一自然界的铁律。 After all, they from the natural selection, lives that batch...... 毕竟,他们正是从自然选择中,活下了的那一批…… At this moment, two people top of the heads, resounded the gentle female voice. 就在这时,两人的头顶,响起了轻柔的女声。 „After [The Origin] 30 minute, will enter the sub-light speed, the ship group personnel prompt you warmly, please open Hibernation Cabin, by both hands keep flat thigh lies down......” “起源号三十分钟后将进入亚光速,舰组人员温馨提示您,请打开休眠舱,双手平放大腿两侧躺好……” That gentle female voice, repeated two in the 12 national language. 那轻柔的女声,用十二国语重复了两遍。 When her sound stops, Wang Dehai stands up from the chair, the last white liquor will do, puts down the porcelain cup layer on layer/heavily. 当她的声音停下,王德海从椅子上站起身来,将最后一口白酒干了,将瓷杯重重地放下。 „That, good luck.” “那么,祝你好运。” „You are also the same, wishing God to bless you.” “你也一样,愿上帝保佑你。” Bloomberg is smiling standing up, respected Wang Dehai one cup, walks toward corridor. 布隆伯格微笑着站起身来,敬了王德海一杯,向着门外的走廊走去。
