Chapter 2432 The Night Queen’s Fight (Part 2)

No matter how beautiful the Queen of the Night's aria is, what it expresses is the fire of revenge. The Queen of the Night asks her daughter to kill Sarastro. If she does not kill him, the Queen of the Night will sever ties with her.

One night of queens is enough trouble, let alone three. Many people on the dance floor were discussing this topic. But not everyone is interested in drama. Jean Dasay is promoting his new show to Belgian parliamentarians.

invention.

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

Due to the shortage of materials during the French Revolution, the National Assembly hoped to find a way to improve the nutritional diet of the poor and cope with famine. Then Jean Dasay invented a method of soaking bones in dilute hydrochloric acid and then cooking them to obtain gelatin.

Darcey promoted it to almost all asylums and almshouses in Paris, including Georgiana's workhouse, but no one was willing to try it. Some people doubted whether the nutrition in gelatin was sufficient, and Georgiana would not soak it in dilute hydrochloric acid.

food for the children.

Someone wrote a paper asking the French Academy to express its stance on the use of gelatin food. If approved, gelatin will be promoted in navigation and the military after canning. However, due to a lack of evidence, the French academic community has not clearly supported it.

There is no objection. After all, after seeing the poverty and hunger of the people at the bottom, if there is another source of nutrition, it can also cope with the lack of food. There are many bones around the market, which are discarded like garbage.

Georgiana also felt it was a pity, but Darcy appeared here not because of gelatin, but because he was Lubrand's teacher.

Lubulan's daughter was ill and he could not leave. Dasay was still a senator, so he attended this formal occasion on Lubulan's behalf.

The post road built by Louis XIV was interrupted between Valenciennes and Mons. The gravel road will crack after being hit by cannonballs, which is very dangerous for horses. It will not only accelerate the wear of horseshoes, but also may be punctured by hard objects.

Enter or split.

That road is currently unavailable, but you can take another route, starting from Mons south towards Maubeuge, arriving at Laon and passing through Soissons, and then you can go to Compiègne or Paris.

The road condition of this road is not as good as that of the main road, but it is much safer. After Louis XIV added Lille to the French territory, he ordered Vauban to build a line of defense, connecting Fort Nock, Ypres, Menen, Lille,

Tournai, Condé, Valenciennes, and Maubeuge are connected, but it is not a line like the ancient Roman defense line, the Great Wall, or the Maginot Line, but dense layers of strongholds designed to hold people back.

, making them restless.

The boy who told Georgiana the story was named Henri-Jacques Monte. He was a Belgian architect who built the exhibition building with steel bars and cement, but his specialty was building fortifications.

The difference between a fortress and a stronghold is their strength. The Anglo-Dutch-Austrian forces did not attack those strongholds that seemed easy to break, but instead stormed the Valenciennes Fortress.

In fact, after Valenciennes was captured, there was still a layer of defense, which started from Dunkirk in the west and ended at Sedan in the east. The artillery technology during the Louis XIV period was very different from that in the 19th century. The strength of the fortress built with natural stone was affected.

challenge.

The siege of Valenciennes only lasted a month. Unlike the previous siege of Condé, its collapse was due to a shortage of food. The Duke of York adopted a solid positional warfare and used heavy artillery for two weeks. Austria

The allies did not understand the British method of siege.

The military expenses for 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 army in the fortress surrendered, but they held on for a long time and surrendered.

They were released rather than treated as prisoners of war, and the Duke of York entered the city and proclaimed himself King of France.

As for the disarmed French legions, they were sent to Dunkirk. In order to hold this gap, the anti-French Allied forces left 10,000 people here, and then went to attack Dunkirk. However, due to the division of troops,

Insufficient troops led to the failure of the siege of Dunkirk.

Monte believed that the cement building he designed could withstand cannonballs. Regardless of whether he could really do it or not, the first thing he needed to do was to see Napoleon, and then he had the audacity to say such things to her.

Before introducing him, Georgiana thought it would be a good idea to let Darcey try his skills first. Darcey was the director of the Sèvres porcelain factory during the Louis XV period. The high temperature generated by the Sèvres porcelain factory kiln can melt gemstones.

And diamonds melted, and through the observation port, he also saw the scene of diamonds burning with his own eyes, so when Lavoisier's combustion theory appeared, he quickly gave up the phlogiston theory.

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

Arrived on the stage.

She didn't care much about the plot. Flames require oxygen to burn. This is common sense that people in later generations know. 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 regaining consciousness, Georgiana fanned herself with a fan, hoping that the little breeze would calm herself down.

"If this is a trap," said the heroine, "what if this man is one of Sarastro's devils?"

"Am I a devil?" the bird catcher asked in surprise, "I am the best person in the world!"

The heroine was reassured and said, "Please forgive me, you have a kind heart."

"What's the use? I still don't have a girlfriend..."

"Are you not married yet?" the heroine asked.

"Wife? If you don't even have a girlfriend, how can you have a wife?"

"Calm down, God will care about you, and 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, no longer chatting and laughing before, and then looked away.

The plot proceeds in an orderly manner. When the bird catcher found the princess, the prince was lost in the castle. While he was groping in the dark, he accidentally knocked on a door, and the door opened, or the whole

The curtain was raised, and the first thing that caught her eye was a gorgeous lamp, which was in the shape of the solar system, and what was shining was the sun. Standing next to it was an old man. For a moment, she thought it was Albus.

He spent his whole life in solitude on a tower, while his lover was locked in another tower by him. Locked together with him may also be his ambition and desire. When he loses all these, what is left of him?

what?

She looked at her hand and saw that 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 without any magic is still on my neck.

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

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

She yawned. She had a busy day today and was really tired. How about taking a nap in the lounge during the next intermission?
