Chapter 2345 bêtesfauves (below)

  Georgiana calculated that the Lubran process contained carbon monoxide according to a chemical equation that probably would have been taught in middle school in Muggle schools, but probably not in the early 19th century. Because this equation was not invented by anyone, but was compiled and summarized by generations of alchemists based on a large number of experiments.

  Lavoisier proved the existence of oxygen with a breathing experiment, but to prove carbon monoxide, you can't do the same, unless the person thinks that he is dying.

  Georgianna wasn't very good at this either, maybe Severus knew better, he went to a Muggle school.

At this stage, the principle of combustion is still at phlogiston. If the by-product of carbon monoxide is collected, it can not only create profits, but also reduce safety accidents. Every year, many people die of carbon monoxide poisoning or because of closed doors and windows for heating. , If the doors and windows of the workshop are closed for confidentiality, then the same problem may occur, but how can she prove it?

The meeting was about noon, and when it was time for lunch, he and Edgeworth left. She planned to go to the city hall to find Farron. On the way, she and Edgeworth chatted about phlogiston. On the way she met Bowens, who was walking with Perrier, a young banker whom Farron had introduced, and greeted Georgiana from a distance.

  Napoleon did not allow domestic bankers to invest abroad, but Bowens built a factory in France in addition to a factory in Belgium. Although Portugal acquired the machinery of the British textile industry and recruited many British technicians to give them privileges, none of the textile mills had a steam engine.

  There is no steam engine. Although the British equipment is used, not only the productivity can not keep up, but also there are many restrictions. For example, if the factory is to be built in a place with water power, the product will never be able to compete with the British.

   This time, Brown took 500,000 francs to buy a steam engine. Even if he didn't buy it, he could at least buy some members of parliament and make peace last longer.

Although the "Peace of Amiens" stipulated the suppression of Berber pirates, it eventually formed a multinational operation, or to put it another way, this was regarded as a new "jihad" by some newspapers. And even the United States and Russia joined in.

The last British warship that caught up with the fleet in the Strait of Calais was a participant. The British used the pirates to train new recruits. This is already very good. At least they did not sneak in like when Portugal took the lead in the 17th century and European countries dealt with the Ottoman Empire. National transport of gold.

  After the discovery of gold mines in Brazil, many Portuguese went there to pan for gold, and many of them were smugglers, including priests in robes, and the gold was hidden under their robes.

  In the beginning, the gold mines in Brazil were private. Later, the tax collector in Lisbon found that doing so actually enriched the private pockets, not the gold royal treasury, so they built a local mint to mint gold coins and ship them back to Lisbon. This policy has only been implemented for ten years. Later, it was changed to that miners are not allowed to leave the mining area without the permission of the government, and this permit can be understood as a receipt, which will only be issued when the gold prospectors pay the "May 1st Tax".

  It was women and priests who did this honestly. The men who mined had some ways to deceive the supervisors. Sometimes the local miners’ unions clashed with the miners who later immigrated from other places, which gave the royal family an opportunity to intervene in Brazil’s affairs.

   So "Zorro" appeared.

Zorro is wearing a Venetian mask. Masked robbers often wear hoods, only showing holes in the eyes and nose. Unless the robbers plan to tear up the ticket or plan to be wanted, they will stick their portraits all over the place. exposed.

  Jefferson did not buy Louisiana. In addition to the port of New Orleans, he also had a target of the Mississippi Delta. In the eyes of Europeans, the place was deserted, which allowed American "pioneers" to cross the border unimpeded, engaged in smuggling or set up illegal settlements made of wood, and because the river was a large slave market , many fugitive slaves would cross the Delta and head to the Free State.

There are many well-armed and belligerent American "militias" and bounty hunters on the edge of the delta, ready to take back those "properties". The November snowstorm has sealed the Dutch coastline, not only Georgiana wants to Plans to visit Rembrandt's cemetery fell through, and even sending an expedition to support Santo Domingo was impossible.

Also unable to go is General Victor, the new governor of Louisiana. Louisiana is still managed by a Spanish governor. He has ordered the prohibition of Americans from crossing the border from the Delta and prohibiting Americans from trading in New Orleans, but still Those illegal settlements were not cleared because that would mean a declaration of war.

  The solution to the conflict is to sell Louisiana, which may bring less benefits than insisting on no sale and the outbreak of war.

   But if Bonaparte really sold Louisiana, the main war factions in the UK who advocated taking back the United States would probably defect, the "balance" would be broken, and there would be a possibility of another war in Europe.

   This topic is not suitable for "meal", and as if by the call of God, Bonaparte's adjutant appeared, and she left the restaurant before serving.

   She was taken to the Grand Councillor's Palace, which, unlike Antwerp's City Hall, was neoclassical, after all, it was built after Louis XIV.

  Even William III of Orange built the Lou Palace to be similar to the Palace of Versailles, and it was also converted from a hunting palace.

The decoration inside    is resplendent, not inferior to Versailles at all. She was taken to a room on the third floor. After the door was opened, she saw the character in the conversation just now standing by the window.

She wanted to remind him to watch out for snipers, and then she remembered the major who said the wrong thing because he was drunk, what to do within fifteen paces, and now the gun's range is not that far, and he was standing by the window should be safe.

Then she thought of the werewolf who lived on the edge of the ancient battlefield. He hid in the wilderness because he didn't want to hurt people. For this reason, he also put a scary-looking dog in order to keep the villagers away. that place.

Warg is Old High German meaning wolf, similar to Old English wearg meaning criminal or "cursable", in Normandy, outlaws are called wargusesto, meaning wolf-like person, in Slavic warg simply means the devil.

   in Latin werewolf is versipellis, which means skin-turner, which most people don't know about, but Remus Lupin was a werewolf.

  The Gospel of Matthew says: Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing on the outside, but savage wolves on the inside.

   On the east bank of the Rhine there was a group of Riprians, whom both Clovis and Attila tried to conquer, and they eventually merged with the locals, leaving only the dialect, the so-called Cologne accent.

  The other is their "barbarian code", there is a sentence that says: wargussit, hocestexpulsus, meaning "this person is a wolf, and should be driven out".

   Eating meat will inevitably lead to killing. Seeing that scene made many people uncomfortable, but the wolves are gone, and humans don’t hunt, so aren’t hares everywhere?

Killing the hare, eating its meat is a part of the food chain, the unicorn is wild and untamable, it is a carnivore, but it only eats its own dead animals, although it has terrible teeth and claws, it does not hurt people or trample Insects, flowers and plants, so called benevolent beasts.

   "What are you thinking?" asked Bonaparte.

   "Do you believe rabbits will kill themselves on stakes?" asked Georgiana.

   He laughed.

   "If the unicorn hunts by 'waiting for the rabbit', do you think the leader it chooses is reliable?" asked Georgiana.

   He looked at her in amazement.

   "Don't be so shocked, wizards use unicorns, ancient Romans used birds to choose emperors, and the fate of everyone and the country is handed over to an animal..."

   "Come here." He waved to her.

   She passed by.

   "You are also an animal." He pinched her nose.

   "You're the animal!" she yelled, touching her nose.

   "I am a lion, you are a veela, I remember you said that a veela is a beast."

   She glared at him.

   "Why pretend to be an individual and force yourself to be on an equal footing with the mob?"

   She looked at him in shock.

   Then he led her to the sofa, let her sit down, lay on her lap, closed her eyes and took a "lunch break".

   "Call me in half an hour," he said with a smile.

   "You mean accepting your full self?" she asked.

   He didn't answer her words, and she was so angry that she wanted to beat him up.
