Harry Potter’s Morning Light

  Chapter 1420 Torchbearer

  The atmosphere of celebration in the city did not reach the Grand Trianon.

  Early in the morning, Brognard Alexander, the director of the Sèvre Ceramic Factory, was waiting for her in the Houjian room.

She once had a relationship with this thin man. Originally, Giorgioanna thought Brognard was a manager. After introducing himself, she realized that he was a French mineralogist, geologist and naturalist, and Napoleon was also a French academician, and Buronia wore a dark blue French academician uniform with olive branches and gold branches when he came to pick up Giorgioanna.

   On February 17th, he arranged full schedule for Giorgioanna. She could not participate in the "big scene", and instead went to the French Academy, the National High School of Technology, and even the Sèvre Ceramic Factory.

Georgian didn’t resist so much, she followed Bronniar. After all, she still took Delmid. The innocent childhood of mankind was short, and she was not like Delmid’s childhood and pure soul. Polluted, after all, he is only 3 years old.

  Men always do this, keeping things out of the way and keeping family members from knowing. In the past, Severus and Albus also kept a lot of things from her. Only when their power could not stop them would the woman know what had happened. At that time, it was too late to fix it.

  Home is the harbor where the "sailors" anchor, where they can rest, find peace, and the gentleness of women. No matter how much psychological preparation she has made, Georgiana has no confidence to be the kind of person who can kill, but she can't do it when others take risks. She wants to find something for herself, so she asks Bloom. Mr. Niard took her to the National Higher Polytechnic School to see where the French industry has reached.

  The weather today is good. Although it is not as warm as the new April, the sun is shining. The National Polytechnic School used to be a monastery, but now it is full of young students who are curious and interested in various tools.

  These "male" students are the same as those who have never seen a woman, and seeing Brognar appearing with Giorgioanna actually caused a lot of commotion.

This scene was very interesting. It reminded Georgian of how crazy the boys looked when Fleur came to Hogwarts during the Triwizard Tournament. They were so keen on watching her that they forgot to receive her. Fortunately, Bronnier often When he came here, he took Georgiana around the academy, even the laboratory that was not exhibited to the outside world.

  The French concept of machines is completely different from that of the British. They integrated art into it like Renaissance scientists, designing some very conceptual but impractical machines, such as flying machines that can’t fly.

In addition, there are also improvements to textile machines, steam engines, clocks and other machinery. Bronniar became the director of the Sèvres ceramic factory because of the improved glazing process. He has his preference in the National Higher Technical School. The College of Ceramic Technology also has the most people, besides, he also studies geology and minerals. He also heard about Napoleon's plan to build a water tower. He and his students are studying ancient Roman concrete. This kind of volcanic ash, which is essential for concrete, has to be transported from Naples, and it is not a small expense even if the freight is included. Perhaps the nearby quarrying is cheaper than the cost of concrete.

  It would be great if you could find a substitute in or near the Paris Basin.

Georgiana and Bronniar talked while walking. In fact, it was mainly because he talked more time. When Louis XIV repaired Versailles, he did not survey the foundations. Now the water tower and the aqueduct need to be surveyed. It seems that Napoleon is true. Plan to do this.

  It didn’t take long for Georganna to pass by a laboratory and found a young man in it who was engrossed in research. The thing he was researching seemed to be glass.

  At first, she thought he was studying the transparency of glass. Later, she watched at the door for a while and discovered that he was doing an optical experiment.

   "What are you doing?" Georgiana asked curiously.

  The young man glared at her impatiently, as if she was interfering with his experiment.

   "Augustine Fresnel!" Bronniar shouted.

  The young man was so frightened that he straightened up and put down the experiment in his hand.

  "Ms. Sèvres asks you, what are you doing?" Bronniar said with dignity.

  Fresnel was still dumbfounded, staring at Georgiana in a daze.

  Georgiana looked at the young man, and she waited patiently for him to speak.

   "I'm studying the reflector of the lighthouse." Fresnel said bluntly, looking unwise.

  "Lighthouse?" Georgiana repeated the word.

   "That's right."

  She suddenly became interested in this gadget.

   "Can you explain to me?"

  Fresnel talks a lot when it comes to professional knowledge. The lighthouse at the end of the 18th century was illuminated by burning pyre or candles, but the distance of this kind of light was very limited, especially on stormy seas.

  Swiss physicist and chemist Emmy Algon and his British partner Matthew Bolton have modified the lighthouse light to make it brighter and more stable. They first used frosted glass, and then added a suspension above the flame to get a brighter and more stable light.

But Fresnel felt that the Algon-Bolton lamp could continue to be improved. Instead of relying on a single lens, he designed a brass frame to divide a whole convex lens into many slices. This is based on the Count of Condorcet. The theory is experimental.

  Earl of Condose once proposed to grind a thinner and lighter lens with a single piece of glass and install it on a frame, so that there is no need to make an oversized convex lens.

  The Count of Condorcet is a representative of the French Enlightenment, and has the reputation of the "torch bearer" of the French Revolution.

  Georgiana only knows that he is a mathematician and a philosopher does not know that he is actually a physicist. If his theory can be realized, it is indeed an amazing invention.

   "Did you succeed?" she asked Fresnel.

   "No, the transparency of the glass cannot be reached."

   "Galileo used to be troubled because he couldn't find glass with enough transparency to make a telescope. Maybe we can help this young man realize his dream." Giorgioanna looked at Brognar and said.

  "What about your major's courses?" Bronniar said sternly.

  "Let him try it. Anyway, it only needs a little sand to burn the glass." Georgiana said indifferently.

   "This is unrealistic." Bronniar said.

  "The Royal Academy of Sciences also said that cowpox is impractical. What about now?" Georgian asked, "There should be candles on the water tower. If the experiment is successful, I want to use it to shine the light farther."

  Fresnel looked at Bronniar expectantly.

   "What is your major?" Georgiana asked.

   "Road and Bridge College, I am studying civil engineering." Fresnel said.

   "Why do you want to study this major?"

   "My family are all architects."

  "Then you can try it in your spare time. Where did your lab fee come from?" Georgiana asked.

  Fresnel opened his mouth.

   "I can support you." Georgiana looked at the glass on the metal shelf. "If you succeed, you can save many lives."

  "You can't do this." Bronnal frowned.

"Why can't it?" Giorgioanna looked at the dragon's breath ring like opal in her hand. It has the unique iridescent phenomenon of opal only when the light is particularly bright. It is usually transparent and bright red, in the opal. The quality is not good, but the larger the size, the more valuable it is, just as the larger the convex lens, the more complicated and time-consuming it is to process.

  "The ceramic factory can also burn glass, so you should open up a new way." Georgiana put down her hand.

   "You hardly know me." Fresnel said excitedly.

   "Just treat me as a splurge. I don't like gems anyway." Georgiana smiled triumphantly and said, "Let me see, what other interesting baby is here."

  "I know a broker, or call him?" Bronniar said with a smile.

   "What broker?"

  "He is a special introduction to scientists and investors. He has served George Washington before. He heard that you are very interested in agricultural machinery and are looking for someone to introduce him."

  Georgina was taken aback for a moment, "Is he American?"

   "No, its inventor is a Scot, and he did not apply for a patent." Bronniar whispered.

   "Call him." Georgian said generously, "What machine is he selling?"

  "The thresher is said to work differently from the thresher used in the north..."

  "You were serious?" Just as Georgiana and Bronniar were about to leave the laboratory, Fresnel hurriedly yelled.

   "Of course." She said strangely.

   "There is nothing to say..." Fresnel said awkwardly.

  "If you succeed, you can exhibit at the second industrial exhibition." Giorgioanna said to Fresnel, "You will be at the Grand Trianon tomorrow..."

   "I'll let the factory accountant pay for his research." Brognar interrupted her. "Let's go, ma'am, let's go shopping elsewhere."

  Georgina glanced at Fresnel, then led Delmid, and followed Bronniar.
