Harry Potter’s Morning Light

   Chapter 2432 The battle of the night queen (middle)

   No matter how well sung the aria of the Queen of Night, it expresses the fire of vengeance, Queen of the Night let her daughter kill Sarastro, if she did not kill him, Queen of the Night would cut off relations with her.

   One night is enough trouble, not to mention there are 3, many people on the dance floor are discussing this topic. But not everyone was interested in theatre, and Jean Dassay was pitching his new invention to Belgian parliamentarians.

   This is inspired by the invention of the pressure cooker in the 17th century. The pressure cooker boiled the bones into powder, and also formed a jelly-like gelatinous layer.

  Due to the shortage of supplies during the French Revolution, the National Assembly hoped to find a way to improve the nutritious meals of the poor and cope with the famine. Then Jean Dassay invented the method of soaking bones with dilute hydrochloric acid and then steaming them to obtain gelatin.

  Dasay was introduced to almost all the asylums and almshouses in Paris, including Georgiana's workhouse, but no one wanted to try it. Some people doubt whether the nutrients in the gelatin are enough, and Georgiana will not give the children food soaked in dilute hydrochloric acid.

   Someone wrote a paper asking the Collège de France to make a statement on the use of gelatin in food. If approved, gelatin will be promoted in sailing and the military after canning. However, due to the lack of evidence, the French academic community did not explicitly support or oppose it. After all, after seeing the poverty and hunger of the people at the bottom, if there is another source of nutrition, it can also deal with the lack of food. There are many around the market. Bones are thrown away like garbage.

  Georgianna also felt it was a pity, but Dasai appeared here not because of Gelatin, but because he was Lu Bran's teacher.

  Roblan's daughter was ill, and he couldn't leave. Dasai was still a senator, so he took his place in this formal occasion.

Louis XIV's post road was broken between Valenciennes and Mons. The gravel road would crack after being hit by a cannonball. It was very dangerous for horses. into or split.

   That road can’t be taken at the moment, but there is another road, from Mons to the south, towards Maubeuge, Laon, after Soissons, and then you can go to Compiègne or Paris.

The road condition of this road is not as good as the main road, but it is much safer. Since Louis XIV brought Lille into the territory of France, he ordered Vauban to build a line of defense, connecting Fort Knoc, Ypres, Menen, Lille, Tournai, Condé, Valenciennes, and Maubeuge are connected, but they are not connected in a line like the ancient Roman defense line or the Great Wall and Maginot lines, but dense layers of strongholds designed to hold people back , make them restless.

   The kid who told Georgiana the story was named Henri-Alex Monte, a Belgian architect who built the exhibition building out of steel and concrete, but his specialty was fortifications.

The difference between    fortresses and strongholds is their firmness. The Anglo-Dutch-Austrian coalition did not attack those strongholds that seemed to be easy to break, but instead stormed the Valenciennes fortress.

In fact, after the capture of Valenciennes, there is still a layer of defense. It starts from Dunkirk in the west and reaches Sedan in the east. The artillery technology in the Louis XIV period is very different from that in the 19th century. challenge.

   The siege of Valenciennes lasted only a month, and its collapse, unlike the previous besieged Condé, was due to a shortage of food. The Duke of York used a solid positional battle and bombarded it with heavy artillery for two weeks. Austria and other allies did not understand this British siege method.

  The military expenses of the entire anti-French alliance war were paid by England, and they were not short of this money. What's more, the Duke of York wanted to attack the fortress head-on. In the end, the dejected French troops in the fortress surrendered, but they held on for a long time. After surrendering, they were released instead of being treated as prisoners of war. The Duke of York announced after entering the city. He is the king of France.

As for the disarmed French legions, they were sent to Dunkirk. In order to defend the gap, the anti-French Allies left 10,000 people here, and then went to attack Dunkirk. The lack of troops led to the failure of the siege of Dunkirk.

   And Monte thinks that the concrete building he designed can resist cannonballs, whether he can really do it or not, the first thing he needs to do is see Napoleon, and then he dares to say that to her.

  Before introducing him, Georgiana felt that he could let Dassay try his skills first. Dasé was the director of the Sèvres ceramics factory during Louis XV. The high temperature produced by the kiln of the Sèvres Ceramic Factory can melt gems and diamonds. Through the observation port, he also saw the scene of diamond burning, so when Lavoisier's burning theory appeared, he quickly gave up the phlogiston theory.

Georgiana did not participate in the first intermission. She had to return to the box to watch the second act as usual. At this time, the stage had been rearranged, and it looked like a gloomy castle. The heroine was surrounded by a group of strange people. to the stage.

   She doesn't care much about the plot. The flame requires oxygen, which is common knowledge known to later generations. However, the kiln needs to be sealed, and oxygen cannot enter at all.

   Living people not only have fickle thoughts, but also need to breathe. After recovering, Georgiana fanned herself with a fan, hoping that these breezes would calm her down.

   "If this is a trap." The heroine said, "Then this person is a devil of Sarastro?"

   "I'm a devil?" the bird catcher asked in surprise, "I'm the best man in the world!"

  The heroine was relieved. "Please forgive me, you have a kind heart."

   "What's the use of that, I still don't have a girlfriend..."

   "You're not married yet?" the heroine asked.

   "Wife? If you don't even have a girlfriend, where can you find a wife."

   "Calm down, God will care about you, he will give you a girlfriend sooner than you think."

   She glanced at Padma again. At this moment, she and Charles were both sitting seriously, not talking or laughing before, and then she looked away.

The plot goes on in an orderly manner, when the bird catcher finds the princess, the prince gets lost in the castle, and just as he is fumbling in the dark, he accidentally knocks on a door, and the door opens, or the whole The curtain rises, and the first thing that catches the eye is a gorgeous lamp, it is the shape of the solar system, the light is the sun, and there is an old man standing next to her. For a moment, she thought it was Albus.

   He spent his life alone in one tower, while his lover was locked in another tower by him, along with perhaps his ambitions and desires. When all this is lost, what is left of him?

   She looked at her hand, the amethyst ring had been taken away.

   In fact, now that I think about it, both the snowflake earrings and the summoning ring have disappeared, but the black swan pendant, which has not used any magic, is still worn around the neck.

  Before encountering black swans, people believed that all swans were white, but when black swans appeared, people's cognition was overturned, just like people always believed that the sun revolved around the earth until the heliocentric theory was proposed.

  What will happen in the future? Black swans represent unpredictability, so this question is also asked in vain.

   She yawned. After a busy day today, she was really tired, or else during the next intermission, she would go to the lounge to sleep?
