Chapter 874 Troublemaker

The rain yesterday and today caused the water to overflow to the embankment, like a bathtub filled with water, ready to overflow at any time.

Stores start preparing for flooding as soon as they open their doors in the morning, but compared with flooding, what is more annoying are the cruise ships that are higher than the houses.

This time there was not one ship, but three ships entering the lagoon. When they moved their huge hulls through the lagoon canal, Pomona was always worried that they would hit those ancient buildings. .

In the 1970s, Muggles were not what they are now. People at that time were anti-war, but now people think it is reasonable to go to war to obtain crude oil. Ships, cars, and planes all need fuel to run. There are even more opinions. It is said that global warming is caused by the methane gas released by cow farts, not by car exhaust pollution.

In order to curb disasters, everyone should reduce their meat intake and eat vegetarian food together.

This kind of words and deeds is the same as when the Crusades were launched in the Middle Ages, the monks called on the believers to save money and donate money for military expenses in order to go to heaven.

I don’t know if it’s the cow’s farts that stink or the liar’s mouth, or they’re taking this opportunity to reduce the number of cattle they raise to prevent prions from spreading further.

There is only one way for prions to be transmitted, and that is cannibalism. In order to reduce the cost of feed, cow bones were crushed and made into feed and fed to cattle.

It is very troublesome to eliminate prions. It is not enough to bury them deeply or burn them directly. It will cost a lot of money to destroy the cattle carcasses that are infected or suspected of carrying the virus. Rumor has it that the carcasses of the mad cows have not been processed yet.

Muggle scientists have discovered that prions once almost wiped out humans, and the humans who are still alive today are all survivors of that disaster.

Once a prion breaks out, there is almost no chance of survival other than praying for one's own genes to mutate.

Melting glaciers will release some ancient viruses. A 30,000-year-old giant virus was found in the melting permafrost of Siberia. Fortunately, this virus can only infect organisms such as amoeba. .But it becomes the fourth prehistoric virus to resurface as a result of melting ice and snow since 2003, and while they are still infectious, it is almost certain that more prehistoric viruses will escape the seal of glaciers as global temperatures continue to rise. , and the environmental damage caused by Arctic oil extraction.

There have been more and more zombie deer in the United States in recent years. Their meat looks fine on the surface, but it carries prions in their muscle tissue. People who eat their meat will also carry this virus. Currently, it will not attack humans. , but who knew it would mutate.

The source of the Black Death could not be traced back then. High temperatures would make some viruses lose their vitality, while low temperatures would accelerate their spread. People from some environmental organizations were holding signs to protest against those cruise ships and call for environmental protection.

But just like what was shown in the movie the day after tomorrow, no matter how the civilians protested, the politicians who held the global climate conference were unmoved. People need money to live. However, the money owned by a rich man is the sum of 2.5 million people. He alone People's luxurious life is based on the poverty of 2.5 million people.

Killing the rich and making wealth public ownership will not make everyone better off, but too much concentration of wealth in the hands of some people will also cause another drawback. These problems are obvious. People's values ​​​​are different from those in the past.

It’s different.

Young people may think her ideas are outdated, but she really doesn’t think that hiking has much to do with environmental damage. At least she doesn’t criticize some people for driving luxury cars and racing.

There are no roads in Venice, but there are waterways. A luxury motorboat is passing by at high speed. The driver has full confidence in himself, as if he thinks he is very lucky and will "definitely" not hit those giant ships.

Whether it was Leonardo da Vinci or Titian, they were all funded by wealthy people. Rousseau wrote in "On Science and Art" whether the Renaissance had the effect of modernizing customs.

The world should cherish those who protect and cultivate talented people, whether they are the Dukes of Milan, Venetian tycoons, the Medici family, or the cardinals of Rome.

Rationality is not only the ability to think logically after learning mathematics, physics, and chemistry, but also the ability to fully understand and summarize and analyze as quickly as possible to find solutions in a "normal thinking" state.

You can't communicate with a person who doesn't think normally. Can cow farts cause the greenhouse effect? ​​Official data can be falsified.

Eating less meat can not only satisfy the compassion of some people, but also prevent herdsmen from using cattle bones as feed in order to make profits, causing the spread of prions.

Telling the truth directly will be difficult for some people to accept, and it is too difficult for people to control their desire to eat meat for this reason.

Using people's kindness to achieve their own goals is the same as the crusaders mobilizing in the rear.

Although Titian painted women, he was thinking about the God of Love in heaven and the God of Love on earth, and the inequality of moral constraints on women.

Da Vinci was an engineer, and these things are also rational. Men are better at this than women. If men acted by feeling like women, then the world would really go crazy.

Why do some people like to violate traffic rules and race like hell?

Not only does he disregard his own safety, he also doesn't care about the safety of others.

Although the speed boat just sailed through the waves and caused the canal water to overflow and wet her shoes, she still decided not to get along with him.

She came for her honeymoon, and now "Mr. Little Deer" is still angry because she is disobedient, doesn't make plans, and wants to design the flower bed according to her own ideas.

The space in the painting box is large enough to put the greenhouse he gave her.

In fact, with the climate magic, there is no need to use a greenhouse, but she is already used to growing tropical plants in the greenhouse. She has always dreamed of being able to tie a hammock in the greenhouse and swing comfortably surrounded by colorful magical plants.

"We're here!" she said, pointing to a small shop.

There are many beautiful handicrafts in the display window.

The old bat reluctantly followed her and pushed the door open.

As the doorbell rang, they seemed to have arrived in a foreign land. This store sold not only Chinese porcelain, but also Japanese lacquerware, and tin kettles necessary for British afternoon tea.

Indian sarees, Japanese brocades, Chinese tapestry, some Egyptian cotton fabrics and Persian tapestries.

In addition, there are some furniture, both Eastern and Western. They are all brought together, but they do not appear cumbersome or weird, and they look very coordinated and harmonious.

"Sorry, we didn't open the door." An old woman said coming out from behind.

"Oh!" Pomona exclaimed as Severus pointed his wand at her.

The Muggle woman remained motionless as if she were petrified.

Severus held his robe and slowly walked towards her. When passing by a table, he picked up the coffee cup placed on it, and then poured three drops of Veritaserum into the drink.

"Drink it." Severus handed the cup of coffee to the Muggle woman, and she obeyed obediently.

Pomona felt like she should say something, but she just felt that it was best not to mess with Snape now.

"What's good?" he said in a silky voice.

"A batch of goods were shipped from the UK. They used to be furniture from the castle." The female boss said blankly, "The castle was converted into an agricultural school, but it was later closed down."

"I don't need a desk," Severus said coldly.

"No, those furniture once belonged to a noble family. An Irishman wanted to sell the castle for 10 times the price of the purchase. This attracted the attention of my friend. He and his friends stole the furniture from the castle.

Come out."

"What?" Severus asked strangely.

"The castle used to belong to a billionaire. The Salter family ran the largest cotton mill in Europe. They built castles, churches, schools and libraries imitating Venice. But at the end of the 19th century, the cotton textile industry suddenly began to decline.

Overnight, the family was plagued by misfortunes and had to sell off their property, but this was not the worst." The female boss paused and said, "That castle became a haunted house, and whoever lives in it will be unlucky."

"Do the Irish think this kind of house can be sold at a high price?" Severus said sarcastically.

"Real estate is very popular now, not to mention it is a castle." said the female boss.

"Sounds a lot like Hogwarts," Pomona said. "Did that agricultural school student see a ghost?"

"I've never heard of it, but it's very difficult for them to find jobs."

What's worse than being unemployed after graduation?

The skills learned are useless, but time and tuition are wasted.

Pomona had to admit that they were really unlucky. No wonder the school was closed later.

Those cows infected with prions have not been solved yet. They are just like nuclear waste and are very troublesome to deal with.

As for who will buy a castle? Anyway, I can’t afford it. It costs a lot of money to maintain and maintain the castle. So many people are eager to sell it, and some people even want to take it over. They want to be a noble and want to go crazy.
