Chapter 189

"Whether you are Ben or Odin, I want to know why? Perhaps, what value do I have for the hall of heroes?"

Zero looked at the old man who had known remt and is now high above the world, and asked in a plain tone.

Ben waved to zero and said, "come here, zero."

Zero had no objection. He walked behind the old man and looked down at the prosperous city with him.

"You're smart, zero. That's good, so we can talk less. I'll tell you the answer, but before that, I'd like to hear your view of the city... Asgat." Ben said, looking at the blue sky and white clouds reflected by the holographic plate outside the fence.

"This is the best city I have ever seen." zero micro one said after pondering: "although it has a strict level, I can feel that it is full of vitality when passing through the city. This is a feeling that other cities can't give me."

Ben nodded with satisfaction and said, "your feeling is still so sharp. Although you have only been in this city for a short time, you can already feel its most original thing. Yes, that is vitality. Vitality comes not only from materials, but also from the hearts of people living in this city."

"The purpose of strict hierarchy is to let people know their position, but in any field, I have reserved opportunities and channels for promotion. In this city, everyone's destiny is not invariable. Through efforts and creation, even the lowest slaves have the opportunity to change their destiny. Just like six gods are reserved in my main shrine, as long as they have talent, You can stand in the highest position and see different scenery. "Ben blinked and said," vitality comes from competition and change. When people see the light of hope to change their destiny, you will find that the people at the lowest level are also full of enthusiasm and creativity, and they are also the foundation of urban development. "

Zero showed a thoughtful expression.

As Ben said, he just intuitively felt the special atmosphere of the city. Now described in detail by Ben, zero also sees the essence of asgat, which is different from other wilderness cities.

What makes him feel deeper is Ben's idea that is different from the routine. Taking the senior managers of many cities along the coastline as an example, no one doesn't want to hold the center of power tightly in his own hands. Even if there is a relevant promotion mechanism in the city's management system, it will never put the promotion opportunity on the slaves at the lowest level like Ben.

It can be said that Ben's approach makes asgat so close to those democratic and free cities in the old era.

Of course, there is no complete freedom in this world. This is true in the old times, especially in the turbulent times. Asgat's class still exists because it is an indispensable link to consolidate the Urban regime. But asgat is obviously much more free than any city in the wilderness. Although it is a city of miracles, it feels more like a city of hope!

"You know, zero, I was one of the survivors of the catastrophe. I witnessed the darkest time. It was my dream when I was young to build a pollution-free, free and democratic city like the old times. Now, it has realized less than half. At least in asgat, I have realized a small part of the so-called freedom regarded as a naive idea by countless people. Asgat, It's an ideal home for me and everyone living in it! "Ben said this, his tone changed and became a little heavy: "However, any ideal can only be realized through suffering, and asgat is no exception. I was the only one left who had the same ideal as me. I feel very sad occasionally to think that those respectable comrades in arms can't share my current achievements with me. But it's also the same. Only then can I keep telling myself that it's not easy to realize the ideal, and I need to continue to work hard Force, can we fully realize our original idea. "

Patting zero on the shoulder, the old man motioned zero to sit down on the sofa. He picked up a bottle of whisky on the table and poured a bosom for zero and himself.

"Zero, one's strength is limited. No matter how hard I try, I can't rely on one's strength to build the ideal country. This requires many like-minded comrades to join the ranks, such as you." the old man pointed to zero.

Zero shook his head and said, "as you can see, I'm just a mercenary in the wilderness, and my ability is not necessarily outstanding..."

"No, no, No." Ben interrupted zero and said meaningfully: "never look down on yourself, not to mention zero. You have great value that you don't even know. You can't imagine that maybe through you, we can contact another civilization. A civilization that once existed and powerful, but disappeared in the long river of human history."

For some reason, zero's heart suddenly beat violently. Ben's words reminded him of the six winged spaceship found in the bottom of the big crack and the unknown civilization on that ship.

"To understand yourself and that mysterious civilization, first you have to understand our Yingling temple and the origin of the city asgat." the old man sighed with satisfaction after taking a sip of whisky. He put down his glass and continued, "you should know the dark Council?"

He nodded.

"In fact, at the beginning of the establishment of the dark parliament, it was entirely out of the will to re excavate human civilization to build an ideal country of freedom, democracy and find a law for the continued survival of all mankind. My asgat is just a city built on the blueprint of the early ideal of the Parliament and continuing this ideal." Ben's eyes looked nostalgic and his voice became empty. He fell into the memory of the old times and said in a voice like a dream: "I was one of the core members of the Parliament at that time. At that time, everyone had no selfishness, and the days of fighting for the same goal really made people feel full and moved. However, when the parliament began to take shape, differences and contradictions occurred due to different beliefs. At that time, the Parliament had begun to become strong and had a lot of human and material resources. In fact, we were far away The realization of the ideal is only one step away, but the corruption of the people has finally changed the nature of Parliament. "

"Some people think that we should build a feudal kingdom with the strong as the center and the weak and the incompetent as the worshippers by relying on the resources at present. This is completely contrary to our original idea, so I and several other comrades strongly opposed it. The majority of people who could not support that idea, and our opposition was quickly rejected. In anger, I We chose to leave the parliament. However, those who put themselves in the height of God, afraid that we would take away the resources of the parliament, launched a conspiracy attack on us. Perhaps from that moment, the parliament has begun to show its dark essence. "Ben narrowed his eyes slightly and said," the former comrade who proposed to attack us is the dark terrorist oglock, the speaker of the parliament today! "
