Chapter 1372 A Fire

Due to the small fire, the merchants next door came to ask for compensation. The bakery owner proposed that he could help extinguish the fire, and the compensation was available but can only be replaced with bread roof.

The merchants next door were obviously not satisfied, so they threatened to call the police. During this time, the fire brigade formed by the social volunteers who came to fight fire.

When the dispute between the two parties, the fire rose again, but this time the two combined efforts could not extinguish the fire in front of them, and over time had spread to more shops. At this time, the two could only seek fire protection from local government organizations. Team help.

However, it was found that the fire brigade near the market found that the fire brigade had dispatched to extinguish another fire. They could only spend money to ask the professional fire brigade.

Most of these professional fire brigades have government backgrounds, and the official urban fire brigade is also very tacit and it will deliberately regulate performance to the former.

As we all know, the professional fire brigade pays attention to a fire -compensation. The greater the fire, the more rewards, and the longer the fire burns, the better the business.

Therefore, it is nothing new to start with the fire brigade. The fire has spread to the lamp oil plant. It is well known that the oil tank is very dangerous today.

So the fire brigade chose to run directly

Then the fire spread from commercial streets to slums, and burned from slums to the noble residential area outside the center.

The major families immediately called their own fire brigades to prepare for their skills, and even the noble children who had nothing to do as they had boarded the high -rise building to watch.

To say that the fire brigade of these noble families is indeed ruthless. All of them are the latest steam pumping fire carriages, and firefighters are also clear.

At the moment they were about to show their skills, I suddenly found that there was no water in the fire hydrant

Fire hydrants were invented in 1801. At this time, few cities in Europe were popularized throughout Europe, but this was not much for the noble areas of Vienna.

However, early fire hydrants are not connected to the tap water pipes, but a large bucket can be installed in a large bucket.

At this time, there was no water in the fire hydrant. Obviously, the workers who were usually responsible for maintenance were negligible. Of course, it was possible that no one was maintained from the beginning, and even the barrel did not exist.

In any case, the fire brigade could only go to the noble's house to pick up the water, but the long water could not be relieved, and it could not extinguish the fire.

The fire was burned to the noble area. Fortunately, most of the noble residential areas are stone buildings. At the same time, there are reserved airspeittering isolation bands. In the end, the fire was controlled.

This incident also strengthened the determination of Franz to rectify the fire brigade. Based on the experience of later generations, in order to prevent mutual pushing each other, and even the extreme situation of the performance of the performance, Franz decided to ban all unofficial fire brigade in the center of the city.

This approach sounds very extreme, which may not be conducive to diversified problems such as low efficiency, insufficient coverage, reduced social participation, and increased government burden.

But in fact, if a fire brigade in a country can't even cope with the fire of the city. At this time, it should not seek the help of folk and foreign experts, but it should dissolve it.

And compared with various chaos such as pushing, malicious arson, and random command, those costs that increase are not worth mentioning at all.

In fact, on the premise of blame and national guarantee, the official fire brigade is surprisingly efficient. Is it impossible for many people to imagine that this is still those lazy men who do not work with money?

Of course, the fire brigade's appearance was only a helpless choice. Most of the nineteenth -century urban fires originated from insufficient awareness of people's fire prevention and backward infrastructure.

Therefore, on the one hand, Franz intends to start from education and propaganda to enhance the public's awareness of fire prevention, and on the other hand, it carefully planned urban construction.

In short, the application of gas will help reduce urban fires. As long as the gas pipelines have a good explosion like Dongmu City.

Faced with excess oil in the short term, Franz thought of internal combustion engines.

In fact, the internal combustion engine is not a fresh thing. In 1794, the British Street proposed to obtain power from the combustion of fuel, and for the first time proposed the concept of fuel and air mixed.

In 1833, the British Wright proposed the design of directly using burning pressure to promote the piston work.

The Royal Society of the Austrian Empire also designed several internal combustion engines with the aid of Franz. However, the problem has come to the heat efficiency of these internal combustion engines lower than that of steam engines.

What's more outrageous is that the cost of such internal combustion engines is far higher than the steam engine, and the operation is complicated and difficult to repair. All of them are due to the immature technology.

Just like the steam engine was invented for a long time, no one asked it for a long time. It was not until a person named Watt improved the steam engine that it really started the industrial era.

However, the world only knows Watt, but does not know Saverri and Newcomen, which invented the steam engine.

Unfortunately, the Austrian Empire became a pioneer at this time, but Franz was confident that he would not become a cannon fodder. After all, he was not alone. Behind him was the entire Austrian Empire.

In history, the first French inventor, Etien Leoua, who invented the practical internal combustion engine, was called Franz to Austria. After all, not all scientists were so patriotic.

In fact, this is not the first time Itian Leouva has come to Vienna. He used to study chemistry and engineering at the University of Vienna.

It was just that when a French factory threw an olive branch to him, he left Vienna, but his good days did not live too long.

Due to the years of war in France, Etienne Lenoir lost his job. He could not find any job in France. He drifted to Vienna by washing dishes and shining shoes.

For a living, he could be Belgian, French, or German.

Etienne Lenoir came to the University of Vienna, took out an old but clean suit from his broken suitcase and put it on, and finally carefully took out a pair of broken leather shoes and put them on his feet.

After getting dressed, Etienne Lenoir shaved by a fountain and washed his face.

After doing all this, Etienne Lenoir appeared in front of the guard of the University of Vienna and looked very confident.

"Dear sir, I have talents in chemistry and engineering, and I want to meet the president. Here is my letter of recommendation."

Several guards saw the poorness in Etienne Lenoir's bones at a glance, but because they were taught a lesson by Franz, the guards of the University of Vienna were one of the people who respected scholars the most in the Austrian Empire.

The guards who beat Doppler and called Franz a brat and bastard either went crazy or died after returning from the gendarmerie, and even a few onlookers disappeared.

In fact, Franz didn't want to make it so bloody, and it was enough to teach them a lesson. However, for other departments of the empire, it can't just be like this, after all, the royal family has already done it themselves.

If they can still let those rubbish live in the world, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of the royal family? Wouldn't it show that they are incompetent?

So neither the gendarmerie nor the secret police can let those guys who look down on others continue to live.

Although it is a bit overcorrected, it must be said that the guards of the University of Vienna are much better at this time.

At least Franz never heard anyone complain that the guards of the University of Vienna looked down on outsiders or foreigners.
