Once again, when he woke up at midnight, looking at Monica sleeping soundly next to him, Zhu Xianhai got up quietly.
Then, he opened the door and came to the study room.
Recently, Zhu Xianhai has been troubled by that "spider web". How many times has this been insomnia?
Yesterday, he went to bed very late, but now he got up so early again.
He was a little sluggish and seemed to be a little overworked. However, Marlena was not here last night, how could he be overworked?
The study is a large room with a soft carpet on the floor. There is a wide and long writing desk in the room. There are several soft chairs opposite the writing desk. The walls on both sides of the room are all bookcases, except for one.
There is a push-pull map window in the area, where there are maps of the world, Americas, Africa, and of course South China.
Now, a map of France was displayed in the map window. The situation of France was marked on the map. Once again, Zhu Xianhai walked to the map and stared at the map, examining the situation of France and thinking about all aspects of intelligence.
"France has no choice at all!"
Zhu Xianhai's brows raised slightly. If nothing else happens, the French will definitely ask for help from Nanhua and ask Nanhua to send troops. However, sending troops will definitely come at a cost, and these negotiations will begin soon!
After all, France is really... too cowardly! Even cowardly to the point of doubt. Who could have imagined that the majestic French Empire could lose so quickly?
The cigar smoke was burning between his fingers. After staring at the map and thinking for a while, Zhu Xianhai said to himself.
"It seems that we should simulate it."
Now, Zhu Xianhai uses the simulator less and less, not because he doesn't need it, but because he doesn't want to rely on it as much as in the past. Now he prefers to make his own judgment based on intelligence and history.
But this time, he didn't have any confidence in his heart.
He sat on the chair, put the cigar on the ashtray, and looked at the smoke column coming out of the cigar. He took a deep breath and said.
"system!"
A familiar interface, a familiar space, and a simulation that allows you to see into the future.
…
Louvre!
Zhu Xianhai, who stayed at the Louvre as a guest, had a strange feeling in his heart. In his mind, the Louvre was a museum, but now it was the French royal palace.
The palace of Napoleon III!
At this time, in the large gallery of this royal palace, Zhu Xianhai stood in front of a very small painting, which was only 77 centimeters high and 53 centimeters wide.
In another world, 6 million tourists come to the Louvre every year just to see her true face - the "Mona Lisa". They stare at this portrait of Leonardo da Vinci with surprised eyes. Whether they are lucky enough to be in a hurry
Whether it’s just a glance or intoxication, people will be attracted by its unique charm without exception. Legend has it that staring at this portrait will produce what the Italian art historian Alessandro Vezzosi calls the “Mona Lisa syndrome”——
Viewers are fascinated by Mona Lisa's smile, and Mona Lisa's smile becomes more and more mysterious.
Staring at her at such a close range, Zhu Xianhai couldn't help but be fascinated, fascinated by her mysterious smile.
"It seems that you also like this painting very much."
The soft and crisp French beside him reminded him that there was a lady beside him, Queen Eugénie!
“In 1793, when the Central Museum of Art was established in the Louvre, the Mona Lisa was not selected. Ten years later, under the order of His Majesty Napoleon I, she officially entered the Grand Gallery of the Louvre.
No one likes this painting more than he does."
Indeed, before him, the "Mona Lisa" was just a painting. In fact, it is almost the same now. Her current number one position is far less than what it will be decades later.
Well, art takes time!
The queen looked at him with her beautiful eyes and said.
"If you like it, it can be given to you as a gift."
"What?"
Zhu Xianhai's eyes fell on the queen's beautiful face, his eyes full of doubts.
This is a national treasure!
You prodigal bitch, you keep your mouth open and closed, and you actually gave it away.
"This is for the sake of friendship between France and South China, Your Majesty."
Eugenie cast her eyes on the painting and said with some confusion and amusement.
"She is indeed an elegant and beautiful woman, but I can't see how she fascinated His Majesty Napoleon I. Even you are also fascinated by her?"
There was a hint of sourness in the Queen's tone as she looked at this woman who is famous for her beauty and is known as the two most beautiful women in Europe along with Princess Sissi. Although she is already over forty, she only looks thirty years old.
She has a medium-sized figure, a graceful figure, skin as good as snow, and her golden and reddish-brown hair is fascinating.
"Although the Mona Lisa has a charming smile, it is far inferior to His Highness..."
Zhu Xianhai's eyes fell on her with a hint of aggression.
"Compared to getting her, I would rather..."
The moment the lips touched lightly, Zhu Xianhai's lips felt the tenderness of the skin on her neck...
…
When he opened his eyes again, there was a faint smile on Zhu Xianhai's face, and the smile even looked a little playful.
"It's really delicious but nothing more delicious than dumplings, and more fun than..."
No, it seems that I and Nasan are not brothers, are we... aunts?
With a playful smile, Zhu Xianhai picked up the unburned cigar, took a puff, touched his chin and muttered to himself.
"Although that old bastard Nasan wants to be alone, his queen is... so moist..."
While sighing, Zhu Xianhai couldn't help but "remember" it again in his heart.
Looking at the flashing light screen, the benefits of this simulation are not huge, but they are worth a lot of experience points.
"The savior of the empire, the queen's lover... this is really ridiculous, can you get experience points like this?"
Lamenting the "no lower limit" of the system, Zhu Xianhai opened the mall again. In the past few years, compared to simulation, he focused more on exchanging books from the system mall, ranging from school textbooks to various technical and scientific books.
It was those books that laid the industrial foundation of Nanhua.
"This is? "Fundamentals of Radio", this was... published in 1879!"
The addition of books in the system mall made Zhu Xianhai's heart skip a beat. Just a few days ago, he had just given the company an order to develop a radio station. He even provided some information about diodes and transistors from memory.
But even so, it still took eight years to develop a wireless station until 1878.
"With these books, we should be able to advance a few years."
The extra books were not just "Radio Basics" and "Ore Radio Principles", but also some other technical books. As usual, after adding all those books to the shopping cart, I felt a little proud after a while.
Zhu Xianhai looked at the books and the newly purchased items, and even felt a little proud as he picked up a camera and said to himself.
"Phoenix 16mm camera... With it, we have entered the movie era!"
It’s finally the movie era!
Although this "invention" cannot keep up with the "Radio" and other inventions, with it, not only can movies be shot, but more importantly, this war can be recorded by making movies!
The expedition half a month later will be the first expedition of the Chinese army to Europe!
Use a movie camera to capture scenes of military expeditions and battles, which can be copied into videos and broadcast around the country. The moving images are definitely more impactful than photos. This can definitely enhance national pride!
"Yes, that's right. The photographers accompanying the army should shoot more documentaries."
Put the movie camera back into the box and finish counting the purchased items.
Zhu Xianhai smoked a cigar and walked to the map window, pulled a map board from the window, stared at the location of East Asia on the map, and sneered.
"Do you really think that Nanhua's warships can't fire cannons?"
