Chapter 2345: Betes Fauves (Part 2)

Chapter 2345 bêtes fauves (Part 2)

Georgiana deduced that the Lubrun process contained carbon monoxide according to a chemical equation. This equation is probably taught in junior high schools in Muggle schools, but it may not have been taught in the early 19th century. Because this equation was not invented by anyone, but was sorted out and summarized by generations of alchemists based on a large number of experiments.

Lavoisier used a breathing experiment to prove the existence of oxygen, but it is impossible to prove carbon monoxide, unless that person thinks he is too old.

Georgiana is not very good at this, maybe Severus knows more, he went to a Muggle school.

At this stage, the principle of combustion is still based on the phlogiston theory. If the byproduct of carbon monoxide is collected, it can not only create profits, but also reduce safety accidents. Every year, many people die from carbon monoxide poisoning because of heating with closed doors and windows. 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 lasted until noon, and he and Edgeworth left for lunch. She planned to go to the City Hall to find Farron. On the way, she talked to Edgeworth about phlogiston. However, on the way, she met Bowens, who was walking with Perrier, a young banker introduced by Farron. When he saw Georgiana, he greeted her from a distance.

Napoleon did not allow domestic bankers to invest abroad, but Bowens wanted to build a factory in France in addition to Belgium. Although Portugal obtained the machinery of the British textile industry and recruited many British technicians to give them privileges, no textile factory had a steam engine.

Without a steam engine, even if British equipment was used, not only would productivity not keep up, but there would also be many restrictions. For example, the factory had to be built in a place with water power drive, and the products would never be able to compete with Britain.

This time Brown took 500,000 francs to buy a steam engine. Even if he failed to buy it, at least he could buy off some members of parliament to make peace last longer.

Although the elimination of Berber pirates stipulated in the Treaty of Amiens eventually became a multinational action, or in other words, it was considered by some newspapers as a new "holy war", the difference was that all the participants were naval forces, and even the United States and Tsarist Russia joined.

The British warships that caught up with the fleet in the Strait of Calais last time were participants. The British used the elimination of pirates as training for new recruits, which was already very good. At least they did not secretly transport gold to their own country like when Portugal took the lead in the 17th century and European countries dealt with the Ottoman Empire.

After the gold mines were discovered in Brazil, many Portuguese went there to pan for gold. Many of them were smugglers, including priests in robes, who hid the gold under their robes.

At first, the gold mines in Brazil were private. Later, the tax collectors in Lisbon found that doing so actually enriched the private pockets rather than the royal treasury, so they changed to building a mint to cast gold coins and transport them back to Lisbon by ship. This policy was only implemented for ten years, and later it was changed to that miners were not allowed to leave the mining area without government permission. This license can be understood as a receipt, which will only be issued after the gold diggers paid the "May Day tax".

The only ones who were willing to do this honestly were women and priests. Mining men had many ways to deceive supervisors. Sometimes local miners would conflict with miners who later immigrated from other places, which gave the royal family an opportunity to intervene in Brazilian affairs.

So "Zorro" appeared.

Zorro wore a Venetian mask. Masked robbers often wore hoods with holes only for the eyes and nose. Unless the robbers planned to kill or wanted to post a wanted order, they would paste their portraits everywhere, and then they would show their faces.

Jefferson did not buy Louisiana. In addition to the port of New Orleans, he also had another goal, the Mississippi Delta. In the eyes of Europeans, that place was barren, which allowed American "pioneers" to cross the border unimpeded, engage in smuggling or set up illegal settlements built of wood. Because the river was a large slave market, many escaped slaves would cross the delta to the free state.

There were many well-equipped and militant American "militias" and bounty hunters on the edge of the delta, ready to capture those "properties" at any time. The wind and snow in November had blocked the Dutch coastline. Not only did Georgiana's plan to see Rembrandt's tomb fail, but even sending an expeditionary force to support Saint-Domingo was impossible.

Also unable to go was General Victor, the new governor of Louisiana. Louisiana was still governed by a Spanish governor. He had ordered Americans to be prohibited from crossing the delta and prohibiting Americans from trading in New Orleans, but he had not yet cleared those illegal settlements because it meant declaring war.

The solution to the conflict was to sell Louisiana, and the benefits it brought might be lower than the cost of insisting on not selling and the outbreak of war.

But if Bonaparte really sold Louisiana, the British war hawks who advocated the recovery of the United States might turn against him, the "balance" would be broken, and war would break out again in Europe.

This topic was not suitable for "dinner", as if summoned by God, Bonaparte's adjutant appeared and left the restaurant before the food was served.

She was taken to the Palace of the Grand Council, which was different from the Antwerp City Hall, it was neoclassical, after all, it was built after Louis XIV.

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

The decoration inside was magnificent, not inferior to the Palace of Versailles at all. She was taken to a room on the third floor. When the door opened, she saw the person in the topic standing by the window.

She wanted to remind him to be careful of snipers, and then she thought of the major who said the wrong thing because he was drunk. He could do something within fifteen steps. The range of the current gun is not that far. He was standing by the window. It should be safe.

Then she remembered the werewolf who lived near the ancient battlefield. He hid in the wilderness because he didn't want to hurt him. For this reason, he also released a scary-looking dog in order to keep the villagers away. That place.

Warg is Old High German, meaning wolf, similar to the Old English wearg, meaning criminal or "cursed". In Normandy, outlaws were called wargus esto, meaning wolf-like people, in Slavic Zhongwarg simply means devil.

In Latin, werewolf was called versipellis, which meant skin-changer. Most people wouldn't know this, but Remus Lupine was a werewolf.

Matthew says: Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.

There was a group of Liplians on the east bank of the Rhine. Both Clovis and Attila tried to conquer them. They eventually blended into the locals, leaving only their dialect, the so-called Cologne accent.

The other is their "Barbarian Code". There is a saying: wargus sit, hoc est expulsus, which means "This person is a wolf and should be expelled."

Eating meat inevitably leads to killing. Seeing that scene makes many people uncomfortable. But with the wolves gone and humans not hunting, aren’t hares everywhere?

Killing a hare and eating its meat is a link in the food chain. The unicorn is wild and untamable and is a carnivore, but it only eats animals that have died. Although it has terrible teeth and claws, it does not hurt or trample people. Insects, flowers and plants are therefore called benevolent beasts.

"What are you thinking about?" asked Bonaparte.

"Do you believe that a rabbit will hit itself on a log and die?" asked Georgiana.

He laughed.

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

He looked at her in surprise.

"Don't be so shocked. Wizards used unicorns, and ancient Romans used birds to choose their emperors, leaving the fate of everyone and the country to an animal..."

"Come here." He waved to her.

She passed.

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

"You are the animal!" she shouted, touching her nose.

"I am a lion and you are a Veela. I remember you said that Veela belongs to the beast."

She glared at him.

"Why pretend that you are a human being and force yourself to be equal to the mob?"

She looked at him in shock.

Then he led her to the sofa and asked her to sit down. He lay on her lap and took a "lunch break" with his eyes closed.

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

"You mean accepting yourself completely?" she asked.

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