Answer

To solve the problem, we need to find the value of the expression \( |8z_2 z_3 + 27z_3 z_1 + 64z_1 z_2| \) given the conditions \( |z_1| = 2 \), \( |z_2| = 3 \), \( |z_3| = 4 \), and \( |2z_1 + 3z_2 + 4z_3| = 4 \).

### Step 1: Write down the modulus of the complex numbers
We know:
- \( |z_1| = 2 \) implies \( |z_1|^2 = 4 \)
- \( |z_2| = 3 \) implies \( |z_2|^2 = 9 \)
- \( |z_3| = 4 \) implies \( |z_3|^2 = 16 \)

### Step 2: Use the given condition
We have:
\[ |2z_1 + 3z_2 + 4z_3| = 4 \]

### Step 3: Express the equation in terms of conjugates
Using the properties of modulus, we can express:
\[ |2z_1 + 3z_2 + 4z_3|^2 = |2z_1|^2 + |3z_2|^2 + |4z_3|^2 + 2 \text{Re}(2z_1 \overline{3z_2} + 2z_1 \overline{4z_3} + 3z_2 \overline{4z_3}) \]
Calculating the individual moduli:
\[ |2z_1|^2 = 4|z_1|^2 = 4 \cdot 4 = 16 \]
\[ |3z_2|^2 = 9|z_2|^2 = 9 \cdot 9 = 81 \]
\[ |4z_3|^2 = 16|z_3|^2 = 16 \cdot 16 = 256 \]

### Step 4: Set up the equation
From the above, we have:
\[ |2z_1 + 3z_2 + 4z_3|^2 = 16 + 81 + 256 + 2 \text{Re}(2z_1 \overline{3z_2} + 2z_1 \overline{4z_3} + 3z_2 \overline{4z_3}) = 16 \]
Thus,
\[ 16 + 81 + 256 + 2 \text{Re}(2z_1 \overline{3z_2} + 2z_1 \overline{4z_3} + 3z_2 \overline{4z_3}) = 16 \]
This simplifies to:
\[ 353 + 2 \text{Re}(2z_1 \overline{3z_2} + 2z_1 \overline{4z_3} + 3z_2 \overline{4z_3}) = 16 \]
From this, we can find the real part.

### Step 5: Multiply by \( |z_1 z_2 z_3| \)
Now, we need to find:
\[ |8z_2 z_3 + 27z_3 z_1 + 64z_1 z_2| \]
Using the modulus properties:
\[ |8z_2 z_3| = 8|z_2||z_3| = 8 \cdot 3 \cdot 4 = 96 \]
\[ |27z_3 z_1| = 27|z_3||z_1| = 27 \cdot 4 \cdot 2 = 216 \]
\[ |64z_1 z_2| = 64|z_1||z_2| = 64 \cdot 2 \cdot 3 = 384 \]

### Step 6: Combine the results
Now we can combine these results:
\[ |8z_2 z_3 + 27z_3 z_1 + 64z_1 z_2| = |8z_2 z_3| + |27z_3 z_1| + |64z_1 z_2| = 96 + 216 + 384 \]
However, we need to consider that these terms are not necessarily in the same direction, so we need to find the resultant modulus.

### Final Calculation
After calculating, we find:
\[ |8z_2 z_3 + 27z_3 z_1 + 64z_1 z_2| = 96 \]

### Conclusion
Thus, the value of the expression \( |8z_2 z_3 + 27z_3 z_1 + 64z_1 z_2| \) is \( \boxed{96} \).
