Chapter 1519 “Blind Typing”

The first industrial exhibition was held in the Louvre, but tourists from the UK were very interested in the Louvre's collections and wanted to visit it even at night.

They hoped to light candles and oil lamps in the palace, and preferably a fire for warmth, but Napoleon wisely refused.

Shortly after the Treaty of Amiens was signed, a Scottish engineer named William Murdoch lit all the lamps in his factory. The lamps were not fueled by whale oil, but by gas, which passed through a tube.

A long iron pipe is put into an old gun barrel, and the exhaust gas is ignited to produce light.

In addition to being an inventor, Murdoch also worked as an assembly expert for steam engines in James Watt's factory. In addition to machining precision, assembly also requires precision. Of course, the French will not let go of this kind of talent. Read in the newspaper

After receiving relevant reports, industrial spies invited him to Paris. The disadvantage of this kind of gas lamp is that it has a peculiar smell when burning, which is not good when used indoors, but it is very good when used outdoors as public lighting. The second industrial exhibition

This kind of gas light is used in the tent.

Georgiana felt sad when she thought of those poor whales, so she asked Lyoncourt to place an order to replace the street lights in a street in Paris with this kind of gas lamp. Murdoch happily agreed, and he became the first collector at the industrial exhibition.

The person who placed the order.

Andrew Meeker's hydraulic threshing machine was watched by many millers. In the future, the mill can be used not only for grinding but also for threshing. It only needs some minor modifications to expand the business. The premise is that there are farmers willing to go to the "vampire"'s house.

Grinding and threshing.

There is also Henry Maudsley's boring machine, which is not all metal as Georgiana thought. The French side is still a textile machine as usual, there is also a paper machine, and a steam engine invented by the French themselves.

The most outstanding thing is Fresnel's lighthouse light, which is installed on the head of a replica of Leonardo da Vinci's bronze horse at the entrance of the exhibition to guide people who come to visit but don't know the direction.

The Italians also came, and the machine they brought was a typewriter. The typesetting order of this typewriter is no longer in alphabetical order, but is similar to the typewriters of the 20th century. It is said that this typewriter was created by Mr. Touri for his blind friend.

It was invented by Countess Fantoni to write letters. It was larger than the typewriter invented by the British and was inconvenient to carry around. Georgiana couldn't help ordering two of them.

After the Italians came to France, they occupied a room in the Louvre and established an architectural committee. The paintings that had been placed in that palace were removed, and the Mona Lisa was placed in Josephine's room in the Tuileries Palace.

In the bedroom.

The Wedding of Cana was placed in the Paris Library, which is now being expanded, and the mummies brought back by Napoleon from his expedition to Egypt are also placed there.

Former British Prime Minister Fox, known as the "Denon Farmer" by the British, came to France in the name of searching for the whereabouts of the two male heirs of the Stuart royal family. Georgiana and Mr. Ribo wanted to accompany him throughout the journey, so they followed him.

They went to the library together, where she saw a young Italian who was copying the Ghanaian wedding in the deserted exhibition hall.

Artists need inspiration to create, and it takes a long time to create a new work, but counterfeiters only need to copy the original work, and it does not take that long to create a painting.

If the Italians took the original painting back and put it back with an exact copy, no one would notice the switch.

Many people go to the Louvre just to see the Mona Lisa, but few people look back to see Garner's wedding. September 14th is the anniversary of her second "wedding", perhaps because someone died at that time and her image

It was so profound that her cat even had the same name as the mastermind.

She remembered the boy from the military school who was hiding from the rain under a big tree, and the second lieutenant driving a two-wheeled carriage who pretended not to recognize him when she saw him hiding from the rain under the tree and left directly. This dispute between the two was remembered by Napoleon.

lifetime.

The clean boy from the military school is gone forever, but the king with the eight horses is still there.

Although the painting depicted a lively wedding scene, Muggle paintings couldn't move or make sounds, so she ignored it.

Enrico Dandolo was also a blind man. The French Crusaders who were marching eastward were also coerced by Dandolo to rob Constantinople because of the problem of crossing the sea.

If it were Severus, he would choose to attack Venice. Although Venice is in a lagoon and has sea water as a natural moat, Napoleon still defeated it.

If fire dragons join the Muggle war, the dragon's breath will easily set fire to the wooden fleet and sails of the British Royal Navy, but this will also involve British wizards.

The ancestors of the Malfoy family also participated in the war, and thus obtained manors and farms in Wales, allowing Draco Malfoy to live a pampered life.

However, there was no international secrecy law at that time. When the economy was bad and crops failed, farmers first blamed the wizards. At that time, many pamphlets and prints were printed to promote it.

After people accepted enlightenment and got rid of "ignorance" and believed that the Inquisition and witch trials were nonsense, the cause of famine became speculation and hoarding.

Although the guillotine is terrifying, the purpose of inventing it is humanitarian. This way, the person being executed can suffer a lot less pain. He does not have to endure more than 40 axes like the almost headless Nick and his head has not been decapitated, nor does he need to be burned at the stake like Bruno.

Burned at the stake.

Humanity should not return to the Dark Ages. Wizards should not be able to use witchcraft freely and use magic to rule Muggles as Grindelwald envisioned.

The ring with the Resurrection Stone could not revive anything except summoning an army of inferi. The old fool could not resist the temptation and put the ring on, thus being cursed.

Georgiana looked at the ring on her finger.

The fire opal ring at this moment looks different from the ring with summoning power, but they have the same thing.

None of them have become a pair of rings like wedding rings. One ring has powerful fire magic, and the other ring can make Severus available at any time, which is what the owner of the previous ring is difficult to do.

of.

Now that she has a wand, no shackles, and no intention of conquering the world, she doesn't need this fire opal ring.

"Don't take it off." Just when she was about to take off the ring, Mr. Ribo suddenly poked his head out from between the bookshelves. "This is fate."

"I don't think so." Georgiana said coldly. The one with the "destiny" mark was another pair of rings, which had nothing to do with her. After saying that, she wanted to take off the ring.

"You are also at fault." Mr. Ribo said, "You were not by his side when he needed you!"

"What?"

"I thought that every time he went out through the side door, it was to see you." Mr. Ribo lowered his voice and said, "You rejected him, right?"

Georgiana recalled.

He did say that day that he would go to see her that night. Later, she had a quarrel with him over the issue of slavery, and he swore that this would be the last time he came to see her.

"When I rejected him, he went to find someone else..."

"She reminds him of victory." Mr. Ribo whispered. "For a loser, he needs this kind of 'supply'."

"Are you speaking for him?" Georgiana said in disbelief.

"At least he didn't lie to you." Mr. Ribo shrugged. "He can quibble, can't he? Just like those other 'fraudsters'."

Georgiana's face was expressionless.

"You should know that Louis XVI took off his wedding ring when he was going to the guillotine." Mr. Ribo said, "He gave his ring to Marie Antoinette."

"You think I'll die if I take off my wedding ring?"

"If he had not faced death, he would not have taken off this ring. This was the king's last words to Mary." Mr. Ribo said, "He loved her, unlike Louis XV, who did not know what he loved most in the end.

who is it?"

Georgiana opened her mouth.

"What are you going to do if your husband doesn't come to you if you leave him?" Mr. Ribo asked.

"That's my own business."

"If you really want to be a good queen," Mr. Ribo said thoughtfully, "you should stop having naive illusions. Do you think your husband will come back to you?"

"Of course!" Georgiana raised her voice.

"Then you are just like the Portuguese nobles." Mr. Ribo said helplessly and left the bookshelf.

Georgiana stared at his back in disbelief.

"He won't come to you." said the ghost wearing medieval clothes who lived in the library.

"Shut up!" Georgiana yelled at him and left.
