Chapter 1930 Under the Lion's Claw (12)

  Compared with the gorgeous decoration in France, the decoration in Britain is simpler and cheaper. This may be because the British literature pays more attention to dissemination than the collection, and ordinary people can't afford too expensive decoration.

  Velve paper binding is relatively common in British binding. This type of binding can be regarded as "ordinary" and "cheap" binding. In the Renaissance, velvet paper replaced vellum and became a common writing and printing material. The great flood in Florence in 1966 destroyed more than 300,000 precious ancient books. At that time, almost all the books were submerged in water, soaked in mud and oil stains, but there was a book floating on the water and survived. .

  These "survivors" are the "cheap binding" of vellum cover. Although vellum also absorbs water, this simple binding cover does not have wood or cardboard, so it is generally lighter and easy to float on the water.

  Of course, you can’t find this kind of bound book in this rare book store. Severus took a book from the shelf, it was actually a glass cover. To be precise, it is a plant specimen. Under the thin glass is a chervil. This kind of flower is very common, sometimes called a pincushion flower, or a bride in the early morning.

He turned the pages of the book and found that it was a book about botany, which contained very exquisite plant illustrations. However, when he opened another page, it was about rose windows. When he turned it down, he found human beings. The bones of, and the Eiffel Tower is drawn behind.

  He had to stop and read it carefully.

The Crystal Palace where the first World Expo was held was based on the bottom lines of Wang Lian. It is firm because of its densely distributed veins and linked from the side. The plant tissue covering these veins is not tight, but wrinkled. The designers of the Crystal Palace took advantage of this structure, and the steel and glass were not placed completely flat together.

  The Eiffel Tower also imitates nature, to be precise, the human femur, which solves the problem of weight distribution. Although the Eiffel Tower was named after Gustave Eiffel, its designer was Maurice Kerchland, a young Swiss engineer under him. In order to solve the problem of the weight distribution of the giant crane frame, he consulted his own Switzerland. Compatriot Karl Kuhlman, who has just proposed a way of building that mimics the human femur.

   Just as Cullman was also racking his brains to think about the problems that plagued Kesland, a Swiss anatomy professor visited him. In fact, the femur is equivalent to the cantilever of the spine, and the spine is connected to the femur by a hinge. When you look closely, you will see multiple bundles of fibers. They can divert the lines of force generated by the body weight, so it can be stable to divide the vertical gravity into the horizontal direction. . By calculating and imitating the distribution of femoral bone fibers, Cullman succeeded in creating a crane that can build iron towers.

  There is no evidence for how the church of Santa Maria del Fiore in Florence was successfully built, especially the crane design, which has been lost. Severus understood this article because it was written in German. There are actually two types of lotus, one is Amazon lotus and the other is Victoria lotus. Among them, Amazon lotus is in It was discovered in a tributary of the Amazon River by a German botanist named Haenke in 1801.

  Compared with Valencia Victoria, which is produced in Argentina, Valencia Amazonica prefers a warm climate, and the petiole is not full of thick and dense thorns, and the flower color is more vivid than Valencia Victoria.

  The Germans like science very much. Severus bought the book without much consideration. He still remembers the idea of ​​building the Crystal Palace he heard from Paul in the Church of Saint-Ouen-Saint-Cecile.

  Crystal Palace is not so easy to build, even if it is built of glass and steel frame, besides, with the metallurgical level of the early 19th century, can it be cast into qualified steel?

  He held the "specimen" and continued searching among the bookshelves, and soon found a dark green Moroccan sheepskin bound book, and he took it out of the book.

  Napoleon’s expedition to Egypt was a failure, but he brought ancient Egyptian civilization to Europe. At that time, he asked many scholars to compile a book.

  He used a very gorgeous decoration. Even if the book in Severus's hand is not the first edition, it is relatively early. In short, Napoleon Bonaparte used the splendor of ancient civilization to cover up his failure.

Severus sneered and accepted the book. He took the two books in his hand and the ten days ago and went to the counter to settle the bill, as if what he bought was not a rare book, but Wandered around in any bookstore.

  The clerk knew that he had met a major customer, and smiled to serve him.

  Bills and books are all paper, but these three books probably require a briefcase of paper money to take away, but Severus used gold bars for the checkout, which surprised the clerk.

   "You can find someone to estimate." Severus said, "I can wait for you."

  The clerk quickly picked up the phone, and at the same time Severus continued to wander the bookstore in no hurry, but this time his eyes were more focused on the opposite side.

  The riots brought about by the "Animal Carnival" will not last long, even if there is a giant Revodang.

Appetite is the most biological instinct. However, the basilisk is a weapon. It is essentially similar to a tank, except that the tank burns oil and needs to be refueled. The basilisk eats mice. The basilisk dies, Hogwar There will be more rats in the city.

Destroying and killing are the instincts of Gewo to be a behemoth, but Severus strengthened its instinct to escape. When encountering an attack, it will not roar as threatening as a normal beast, but will run away, even if its strength is not as good as before. Enough for the French Ministry of Magic and the Auror.

  Just as Severus was thinking about countermeasures, the store door was opened again, but no one was seen. Severus lowered his head and realized that a dwarf was walking in.

  Not only wizards can pretend, but also goblins. This goblin who looks a lot like a human dwarf and Severus glanced at each other, and they recognized each other's identities at once.

   "Good evening, Mr. Luoquan legs." The clerk stood up and said, "Please help me see these gold."

  The grumpy goblin stared at Severus rudely for a while, walked behind the table, and climbed to the side of the table as if climbing a peak.

  Severus couldn't help laughing when he saw him.

   "What are you laughing at?" The goblin said fiercely.

   "Nothing." Severus said lightly, no longer looking at the other side, and continuing to look at the other side.

  The French goblin and Muggle clerk whispered in French, although he didn't understand what they were talking about, it wouldn't be a good thing.

  The fairy carried a small box with a balance and weights in it, and he quickly weighed it.

   "It's all true." Luo Quan's legs curled his mouth and said, "You still want to make up."

   "No, you keep it." Severus said, then picked up the rare book on the table and left the bookstore.

  He did not go to Luxembourg, but returned to the carriage. Orlando has left, only Kreacher is still waiting by the carriage.

   "Put these books in the study." Severus handed the rare book he had just bought to Kreacher, but before he had finished his explanation, a black smoke flew over his head.

  All the lights in the place where it flew were off, as if carrying endless darkness, it flew straight towards Luxembourg.

   "After a while you open the entrance and drive the carriage in and come back, you won't use it." Severus said, "You stay here and open the entrance."

   "Yes, sir." Kreacher said, watching Severus disappear to the corner of the street.

  The defensive magic was cast on the periphery of Luxembourg, and the black smoke did not break through two or three times, but the hidden Aurors appeared, and they pointed their wands at the black smoke.

   Severus raised his wand, and as a white light flashed, the defensive magic disappeared.

This is a spell created by Voldemort. It was a spell he used to destroy the school’s ancient defensive magic at the Battle of Hogwarts. It’s just that Severus’s strike was not of the same magnitude as Voldemort’s in strength. .

  As he said in the dock, he is still extraordinary, but the performance of the old wand made him feel disappointed.

  After the defensive magic, the Auror was a little panicked. They were divided into two groups, one against the silent man flying in the sky, and the other against Severus. Those spells were easily blocked by him.

He moved forward very calmly, while the Aurors ran away in embarrassment because they did not dare to face the silent. At the same time, Severus raised his wand and waved it in a circle. A blue flame was like spreading wings. Flew out like a giant bird.

  This is flying sand and rocks, but someone yelled "Grindelwald", Severus couldn't help smiling happier.

  Grindelwald's blue flame black magic is amazingly powerful, however, these Aurors really misunderstood.

  It is not wizards who have raised **** this time. Muggles can’t just push all their mistakes on others as before.

  If everyone is free, everyone will be hurt.

  Freedom, how many sins there are in ancient times and today, do it in your name.
