Chapter 1675 The Goddess’s Secret Word (Twenty)

Whenever there is a war, people will always find ways to solve problems that they would not normally think about, such as communication.

On October 18, 1870, a postal hot air balloon named "Victor Hugo" took off at the Place de la Concorde. Victor Hugo attended the launch ceremony and sent a letter to London.

That day he also visited the Imperial Avenue. The house and garden where he had lived as a child were gone, and a new avenue passed through the old site.

In fact, France had cable telegraphy at that time, and Britain even led a submarine cable to the United States. It was the famous Agamemnon.

However, during the war, telegraphs were controlled. Abraham Lincoln knew the importance of telegraphs. It can even be said that the victory of the Civil War was related to the federal government's use of military telegraph teams to lay dangerous telegraph wires. The American Civil War

During this period, all civilian telegraphs were stopped, and Morse code was used for confidentiality. During the critical war, Lincoln even slept directly on a cot in the telegraph office. Sometimes when the cable was cut, hot air balloons, pigeons, etc. were used.

Couriers and other conceivable means were used to deliver the letter.

A piece of news can make a Rothschild family and change many things. On the night of November 29, 1870, when Victor Hugo was returning home from the Luohan Pavilion across the Rue Richelieu, he saw

There was a very tall house on the other side of the library. A window on the sixth floor of the house was open. At that time, the street was empty and pitch black, but there was a bright light in the window, as if it was from a kerosene lamp.

The light appeared several times, then the window was closed and the street became dark again.

The great writer was just a passerby recording everything he saw, thinking that it was a signal for military action.

At that time, there were the sound of cannons on the east, west, and south sides of Paris, and the sound spread throughout the city. Why bother to send out light signals in the dark on the sixth floor next to the National Library of France?

On December 5, the gorgeous hearse passed by Froschau Avenue. Alexandre Dumas died outside the city, and an empty box would be given to anyone attending the funeral.

On the night of November 19, Victor Hugo saw the Northern Lights over Paris.

This would not be a strange thing in the 21st century. There are many ways to achieve a gorgeous light show like the aurora. However, in the 19th century when the second electricity revolution had not yet become popular, this kind of "light show" was impossible.

Auroras usually appear over areas with high magnetic latitudes, such as the North and South Pole. The earth's atmosphere is the TV screen, and the earth's magnetic field is a dimensional electron beam guiding magnetic field. Although this kind of aurora is beautiful, it can be compared with the combined capacitance generated by power stations around the world.

This energy is enough to disrupt radio and radar signals, and can even interfere with long-distance phone lines and power transmission lines, causing certain areas to go "silent" and lose power supply.

The dimension of Paris is 49 degrees, which is a weak auroral zone. During the peak years of solar activity, huge solar flares can disrupt the earth's magnetic field and expand the aurora range. In this way, Paris can also see the aurora at mid- to low-latitudes.

However, there may be two other situations.

One, Hugo got it wrong.

Second, like the citizens of Paris in 1927, they thought that a grand fireworks was set off over Père Lachaise Cemetery, or that like the New York incident in 1926, a mass amnesia spell was used, and most people forgot about that period.

Horrifying memories, only Hugo's diary still records this episode.

Balzac was already dead at that time, Alexandre Dumas was not in Paris, and was dying of illness, so there was no time to record it. However, such a huge astronomical spectacle occurred, but the French Ministry of Magic did not mention a word, as if something had been covered up.

.

At that time, the Muggles were busy with the war, and the media was not in the mood to pay attention to this news, not to mention that few people stayed up late at night observing the sky like Hugo.

Even if they were there, they were staff members of the Paris Observatory, and this was the turning point when Severus had an idea when he was drawing the map and chose the Paris Observatory instead of the entrance to the catacombs.

When paper materials are not fully digitized, a massive literature survey is required. Old Bat has never been soft on confining students and making them do hard work. It's just that he can't control Muggle university students, and he's not theirs.

"professor".

Cuvier's office is in the Lamarck Building, which is located between the Paris Botanical Garden and the University of Paris VI. The scenery along the Seine is picturesque, and there are so many beautiful flowers blooming in the Botanical Garden, and there are teaching buildings full of artistic atmosphere.

Hidden in the shade of the trees, there is also a zoo nearby with flamingos, antelopes and other cute and rare animals. It would be a pity not to fall in love on campus while you are young.

However, before Paris VI University became an independent university, it was the Faculty of Science of the Sorbonne University. It only had science and engineering subjects. More than 99% of the students were male. They were so energetic that they had no trouble playing pranks and scaring the teachers.

As for falling in love in Paris, it is impossible. Students = poor. The consumption in Paris is not something they can afford. However, there is enough space in the botanical garden for them to "let themselves go", let alone a few of them who are less than 7 feet tall.

, Diplodocus has enough space to move around.

The Lamarck Building was named by the students because there is a sculpture of Lamarck in front of this red building.

Lamarck was a French naturalist who proposed the theory of biological evolution in 1809 and published the book "Philosophy of Animals", 50 years before Darwin's "On the Origin of Species".

The biggest difference between the theory of evolution and the theory of catastrophe is time. The theory of evolution evolves slowly, while the theory of catastrophe is applicable to emergencies such as asteroids hitting the earth, super volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, solar flares, reversals of the earth's magnetic field, and clusters of dinosaurs.

The extinction is generally believed to be caused by an asteroid impact, and the evidence is anomalies in the iridium element in the Cenozoic strata.

The content of iridium in the universe is very low, and it is even lower in the earth's crust. If it is not extraterrestrial, how did it come from?

As for the Earth's magnetic poles, it doesn't flip just once or twice. Even if the Earth doesn't flip, the sun will flip, about once every 11 years. Each flip may be accompanied by a large amount of energy release, which may be related to

Just like in 1870, when auroras are seen in low latitudes, nothing may happen. Humans living on the earth are like Schrödinger's cat. They may die due to natural disasters caused by the reversal of magnetic poles, or they may die when crossing the road.

Of course, it is possible to live a good life if you are hit by a car or hit by a flowerpot falling from upstairs, but you will not know the outcome until you "open the box".

If magnetic field issues are really involved, then Severus and the others must be prepared to lose existing Muggle communication methods and Gianluca's remote support at any time, and they must complete this "impossible mission" on their own.

Grindelwald was born in 1883. The method he used to drive a luxurious hearse through the city in 1870 was very similar to the one he used in Paris in 1926. Everyone has parents, and they will leave inheritance to their children, such as Salazars

Letling left the Chamber of Secrets and a basilisk to Voldemort.

Could it be that the investigative information about the Deathly Hallows was also left to him by Grindelwald’s parents?

Even if it is wrong, it can save Grindelwald from making many detours.

As soon as Severus walked into the lobby of this building, he found a whale skeleton "floating" in mid-air.

That is the Cuvier's beaked whale discovered by Cuvier. This whale is widely distributed on the earth, from the tropics to the cold zone. At the same time, this whale is also the deepest diving mammal. It is better than the sperm whale that catches squid in the deep sea.

Even deeper.

The deep-sea giant squid can theoretically grow up to 50 meters long. It may be the prototype of the sea monster in many horror stories. It is said that someone once saw a giant squid kill a sperm whale. The two monsters were fighting in the sea.

, stirred up huge waves and sank to the bottom of the sea together without knowing where to end.

The squid eaten by the sperm whale will be digested, but some of the hard parts will form a solid with the intestinal secretions and be excreted. This material is actually the feces of the sperm whale. When it is first excreted, it is black and soft and smells bad.

It smells bad, but it will harden after years of washing in the sun, air and sea water. A lucky person who picks up this waxy substance on the beach is the rare treasure ambergris, and its price is comparable to gold.

"Have you seen these? Grindelwald?" Severus said, looking at the whale skeleton in front of him. It was bathed in the bright moonlight, as if swimming in a shallow sea. It didn't look scary at all, but very holy.

There was no answer to his question, for the man Severus had asked the question to was dead, imprisoned in the same prison where his opponents had been held.

He stood here for a while and then went to another place. The soles of his shoes made a crisp sound when stepping on the marble tiles. The sound was very beautiful, although it was completely different from the song of a whale.

The original text is as follows:

November 20, 1870

The Northern Lights appeared last night

"Josephine" is no longer my neighbor. Josephine was met at the 41st barricade and it took 26 horses to drag Josephine away. I was saddened by the departure of Josephine. At night I could hear about

Séphine's voice, I feel like it's speaking to me, I love my circus Séphine and little Jeanne.

Now little Jeanne can clearly call her parents.

National Guard parade today.

About Josephine is a cannon.
