Chapter 571 Projector

The rapid development of the photography industry in Austria has also led to the development of other technologies.

Uhadius, an instructor at the Austrian Artillery Academy, accidentally combined slides and Stampfer discs when studying new teaching methods and created the earliest projector.

The artillery major did not use his invention for teaching, nor did he declare it as an invention. Instead, he used it to pick up girls.

That's right, Uhadius and his invention became the focus of major balls and frequent guests in upper-class salons.

Franz rarely went to balls or salons. One reason was his personality. He felt that he had many important things to do, and that chaotic atmosphere was not suitable for him.

Another reason was that Madame Sophie felt that those balls were a complete waste of time, just like the courses taught by the professors. What the Austrian Empire needed was a king, not a scholar or a social expert.

In fact, Madame Sophie had a lot of resentment towards her father and brother. If it weren't for two consecutive generations of kings indulging in women, Bavaria would not be what it is today.

Their love affairs were more than the memorials they reviewed. They were not presentable and could not get out of bed. They were just two boars.

Especially for Ludwig I's mistress at that time, Lola Munster (also translated as Lola Montes), Mrs. Sophie was extremely disgusted.

Lola Munster initially regarded herself as a gypsy dancer, but soon became a socialite in the French upper class. She eloped with people several times because of "love", but was always abandoned by "scumbags" in the end.

She learned from her mistakes and decided not to be a doll for people to play with, and then Lola Munster began her evil life.

The first target chosen by Lola Munster was Alexandre Dugarry, a famous newspaper owner and art critic in Paris at that time.

Lola Munster was very scheming. She collected a lot of personal information about Alexandre Dugarry, learned about him in all aspects, and found that one of the characteristics of the latter was that he would pass by a horse farm every day.

Horse riding happened to be one of Laura Munster's specialties, so the two had a wonderful "encounter". Although it was an old-fashioned hero saving a beautiful woman, it deeply touched Dugarry's heart.

Later, Laura invited Dugarry to drink a cup of coffee in a very "ordinary" cafe on the roadside to express her gratitude.

Through the "unintentional" conversation between the two, the latter felt the taste of love. In the end, the two spent a romantic night, and soon after, Laura moved into Dugarry's villa.

The two went out in pairs at the banquets of the upper class, which made Dugarry's friends shout that it was impossible. After all, this veteran in the love field has always been a one-night stand, and the word loyalty will never appear on this man.

So some people began to bet on how long Dugarry would get tired of playing this time, but what surprised people was that Dugarry announced that he was going to marry Laura Munster soon after.

However, the good times did not last long. Dugarry soon died in a duel. The opponent was a critic who insulted Laura Munster in the newspaper.

After that, Laura Munster had to leave Paris and went to Munich, the capital of Bavaria. This time, Laura Munster set her sights on King Ludwig I of Bavaria.

It's just that it's much harder to get close to the king than to get close to a newspaper owner, but this didn't bother Laura Munster.

She first created an encounter and became the lover of Count Huntberg, Ludwig I's attendant.

Later, under the latter's arrangement, she got a chance to meet the king.

But she happened to be seen by the queen. No woman would want such a coquettish bitch around her husband, so she ordered the soldiers to expel her.

But the latter tore open the clothes on her chest and pushed the soldier away while he was stunned, and broke into Ludwig I's room.

Then Laura Munster began her performance in public. This overly explicit performance made the nobles present shout "obscene."

But Laura Munster captured Ludwig I in the shortest time. The latter favored the former, gave her many gifts, and even wrote poems for her.

But the most excessive thing was that Ludwig I even allowed Laura Munster to get involved in government affairs and participate in national affairs, and also made her a countess, making her a person above everyone else.

You must know that the status of women was not high at that time. Mrs. Sophie had no power to get involved in politics when she was a princess, although she has no power now in theory.

Mrs. Sophie didn't want her eldest son to become the same as her father and brother one day, so Mrs. Sophie didn't want Franz to get too involved in useless things on the one hand.

On the other hand, she was collecting "talents" everywhere to make Franz completely immune to such people.

Getting back to the point, Ajani planned to give Franz a surprise. So the former pulled the latter to her room, closed the doors and windows, and then pulled the heavy curtains and began to extinguish the candles one by one.

"Miss Ajani, I think I'm still young, maybe we can talk first." Franz seemed a little shy and a little expectant.

At this time, Ajani realized that what she did was easy to be misunderstood. In fact, she lived like a nun in these years. Although she was a little uncomfortable at first, she got used to it over time, and with more and more things to do, she felt younger and younger.

When Adjani got up in the morning and entered the Grand Duke's room, she would see the bulge on the quilt and tease it occasionally. She liked the ambiguous feeling now, and she didn't care whether there would be further development.

But Adjani didn't want to do this now. She wanted to show off her new toy.

"Pa" Adjani hit Franz on the head.

"What are you thinking about! I'll show you something good!"

Franz: "What? So mysterious?"

Adjani extinguished the last candle, leaving the whole room shrouded in darkness, and then suddenly a beam of light appeared on the curtains, and then an image appeared, as if a person was carrying a shell.

As Adjani turned a horizontal disk-like object, the picture began to move.

The picture was simple and blurry, and it lasted only a dozen seconds in total.

This primitive projection technology naturally couldn't surprise Franz, but seeing that the other party was still in high spirits, he simply cooperated.

He applauded and said, "Not bad, not bad."

Franz's perfunctory attitude was still discovered by Adjani.

"You don't seem surprised at all?"

Franz: "Well, isn't this a slide projector? Wasn't it invented in the 16th century?"

Adjani: "No! Slide projectors can only project images, not make them move."

Franz: "In fact, as long as you can switch 24 images per second, you can make it move. The limitations of the Stampfel disk are too strong, and the image can only be maintained for 30 seconds at most. But this is not even comparable to the early projectors."

"Projector?" Adjani interrupted.

Franz hurriedly explained: "A new tool can make the projection time break through the limitations of the Stampfel disk. In the future, it should also lead to a new industry and a means of threatening people. Are you interested in being a movie heroine?"
