1840Indian rebirth

Ma Shao was not too surprised by this news, after all, this was his purpose.

The reason why he was so active in the UK was to gain access to high-level officials and the King of England, so as to gain support and help from the UK.

Now that the plan is going smoothly, Victoria plans to meet this Indian scientist who came from afar.

So, a few days later, the whistle went to Buckingham Palace to meet Queen Victoria and her husband, Prince Albert.

Since Victoria ascended the throne, the royal family moved from St. James's Palace to Buckingham Palace, and Buckingham Palace has since become the official residence of the King of England. Of course, in name, St. James's Palace is still the most important palace.

At this time, Buckingham Palace was not what it would look like in later generations, and was relatively simple. However, judging from Mashao's aesthetics, even though it had been rebuilt and expanded several times in later generations, it was not grand.

The building he yearns for is a space station operating in the universe, or a supernatural creation built entirely by imagination in a virtual world. Even worse, it must be a complex and solid skyscraper made of reinforced concrete and CAD software.

Compared with these truly great buildings, although Buckingham Palace may be the most prosperous building he has seen in this life, it can at best be described as "rustic".

The interior decoration of Buckingham Palace is quite interesting, including various gold and silver objects, sculptures and paintings.

Wearing suits and leather shoes, the horses and whistles walked through the palace under the leadership of royal servants.

"Indians, when you see Her Majesty the Queen, don't forget the etiquette I told you." The manservant who was leading the way turned around and said.

"Of course." Ma Shao nodded. He didn't need to be reminded at all. He had already studied the court etiquette in advance.

"The palace is like this, with red tape." The valet obviously didn't like the many etiquettes he repeatedly emphasized, and complained, "The salary here is not satisfactory either... To be honest, I want to resign."

Ma Shao responded with a smile and didn't say anything, but he was a little surprised. The salary of royal servants didn't seem to be very high.

After a while, the servant led him to the butler, who then took him into the room where Queen Victoria and Prince Albert were.

"Your Majesty, the Indian scientist you want to see is here." the steward said.

"Your Majesty the Queen, Your Highness the Prince." The horse whistle saluted, secretly taking a look at Victoria and Albert.

At this moment, sitting in front of him was the Queen of the British Empire and her husband. They were a young couple.

Different from the careful glance with Ma Shao, this couple, who are at the top of the world's power, are sitting at a higher place, wearing gorgeous robes, calmly looking at Ma Shao, who is full of exotic temperament.

"Hello, Indian." The queen smiled, "Please sit down, we are very interested in your story and your amazing achievements in science."

"Thank you." The horse whistle immediately sat down.

Prince Albert asked: "I understand that you are from a tribe called the Apache, is that right?"

"Yes."

"Where are the Apache tribe?" Queen Victoria asked curiously.

"The Apaches are widely distributed in the southwestern part of North America." Mashao said slowly, "But in recent years, many people have moved to Mianxiong City to live together. In fact, we plan to build a city."

"Really?" The queen was a little surprised.

The horse whistle took out some photos: "I brought some photos of Sleeping Bear City, Your Majesty."

"Oh, these buildings look really interesting, as well as the clothes people wear." The queen looked through the photos and couldn't help but be attracted by the various scenes in Bear Sleeping City.

"As far as America is concerned, this is a very good city." Prince Albert also looked at the photo and said, "I have to say that I am a little surprised. I want to ask, when was it established?"

With the topic in mind, Ma Shao started talking eloquently and recounted the development process of Sleeping Bear City with great detail.

The so-called adding fuel to the fire is, of course, to create a glorious image of Apache, leaving out all the flaws, embarrassments, cruelty and even ugly content, and emphasizing all kinds of beautiful, inspirational, and enterprising things.

This is a common method used by all human beings, but some people make things out of nothing and refer to deer as horses, while some people keep some bottom lines, or call it reserved, and only dare to take quotes out of context.

What Ma Shao is doing now is taking quotes out of context. What he says is not a lie, but it is definitely different from the truth.

All in all, he described the story of Bear Sleeping City like an epic that can sing and cry.

However, compared with other similar narratives, this is actually not outrageous. After all, all of this was created by him as a time traveler, and it must be closer to an epic than history.

With photos as proof, his story became more credible. Within an hour, Queen Victoria was deeply attracted by Bear Sleeping City.

"The story of Apache is so incredible. If Bear Sleeping City wasn't too far away, I would really like to go there and see it in person!" the Queen couldn't help but say, like a girl who yearns for fairy tales.

Prince Albert was a little hesitant. He kept looking at the photos given to him by the whistle and asked questions from time to time.

"This is your school?" He pointed to the building in the photo.

"Yes, Your Highness," Ma Shao replied, "I remember I was in math class when I took the photo."

Albert asked again: "What mathematics do you teach your people?"

Ma Shao: "There are all levels, from addition, subtraction, multiplication and division to "Elements of Geometry", and even some calculus. At first, I taught it alone, but now there is more than one teacher."

Prince Albert pondered for a moment: "Of course I know that you are an excellent scientist. Mr. Faraday was full of praise for you. In fact, I have read your papers. But I still have some questions, where does this knowledge of yours come from?

Come? You seemed to have said just now that you have lived in a tribe since you were a child."

"Of course it's reading." Ma Shao said, "I have learned many languages, including those from indigenous tribes and those outside the indigenous tribes. With the help of these languages, I read various books and newspapers."

"Oh? So, besides English, what other foreign languages ​​are you proficient in?" Prince Albert's expression changed.

Ma Shao: "Well...like Spanish, and then Chinese."

"Do you still understand Chinese?" For Westerners, Chinese is undoubtedly the most difficult mainstream language in the world to understand. But meeting an Indian who understands Chinese in the UK sounds so interesting.

"I know a little bit." Ma Shao said modestly, and casually made up, "There are also Chinese in America. I met one by chance and learned some Chinese from him."

There are indeed Chinese people in the Americas. In fact, as early as a hundred years ago or even earlier, there were Chinese people from coastal areas and Southeast Asia who came to the Americas because they joined the European fleets.

However, so far, the number of Chinese in America is still very small. Ma Shao has not seen it with his own eyes and has only heard about it in books and newspapers.

After hearing this, Queen Victoria immediately called the housekeeper and ordered: "Go and get my Chinese translator."
