Harry Potter’s Morning Light

  Chapter 2047 "Watchtower" (5)

  About 1730, Professor Bosch, a German professor, built a machine that could generate unprecedented electrostatic force by shaking its huge wheels. When presenting the experiment, he attracted a British correspondent named Henry Baker. He wrote this: sparks gleamed in her mouth, and they looked so terrified and painful.

Let’s not mention the question of how static sparks shine in people’s mouths. Everyone who wears woolen sweaters knows that static electricity can be caused when they take off their clothes. The point is that this news was seen by Benjamin Franklin in London not long after. From then on, he began to explore the road of electricity and electricity.

In 1746, a professor at Leiden University in the Netherlands, Miesenbruck accidentally invented a glass bottle wrapped with metal foil on the inside and outside of the experiment in 1746. The upper end of the bottle mouth is followed by a spherical electrode, and the lower end is linked with the inner metal foil. This kind of bottle is called For the Leiden bottle.

  It can be understood as a battery, which can store a lot of electrical energy. One day, a friend of Missenbrook's lawyer came to his house and accidentally touched the bottle, which caused him to be electrocuted. In order to save him, Missonbrook stretched out his hand and shook him, and the two of them were electrocuted together.

   After being frightened, the lawyer friend said that he would never touch the bottle anymore, but Missenbrook took it around the world. Of course, it was who touched the bottle who was electrocuted, and some people were electrocuted with nosebleeds. This little bottle overturned all accepted theories that electricity is untransmissible and fleeting. At the same time, people discovered that if one person holds the bottle and the other holds the conductor, they will all jump up due to electric shock.

So a serious scientific experiment turned into entertainment. French academician Jean-Antoine Nolay invited Louis XV to watch the performance. Seven hundred guards lined up hand in hand. At the front row was a group of priests. At that time everyone would suddenly jump up.

  The production of the Leiden bottle is simple, and it is easy to charge through a rotating sphere or a friction rod, which means that electrical experiments are no longer exclusive to the royal family and the rich.

  Benjamin Franklin also got one back to the United States, and then he found that when a thunderstorm passed over the kite, the kite and the entire kite string were fully charged, and the filaments on the line were stretched out. At that time, the thread was rubbed with plant or animal fibers, and there would definitely be fluff, just like an electrostatic reaction. The key point is that Benjamin Franklin did not directly hold the kite thread with his hand, and did not use a silver key to trigger the lightning, so that the lightning hits. Kite. If he really did that, the American founding father had already seen his heavenly father, whoever didn't believe him would try, if he was struck by lightning, he would survive the next day's news.

People have a strong interest in electricity. There is an entertainment in Birmingham. The audience enjoys the feeling of "over-electricity" brought by holding the Leiden bottle. After the initial panic, it is the pleasure of dopamine secretion. Erasmus Darwin wrote a "Crazy Speculation about the Similarity of Human Soul Activity and Electricity Activity".

  Georgiana has always felt that the "dance" performed by young people in the 20th century looked like epilepsy. In the 19th century, people were only willing to give up when they were electrocuted, and of course, electric shocks were also used to treat epilepsy...

All in all, in 1747, someone used an instrument to drive the solar system with electricity to demonstrate planetary motion in Northampton. Watt made a more exquisite one. She thinks this is the most suitable gift for Napoleon, and it can also be small. Transform it, such as adding a new beacon light made by Fresnel to the sun.

  The cutting-edge technology of this era is often demonstrated in a "show" way. Even if investors cannot be attracted, it can also attract some theater-goers to earn ticket money. Of course, there is a mixture of fish and dragons. For example, the crystal skull has magical powers. He often arranges some "diffuse gas", anyway, to fool the audience.

Electricity is also known as a kind of "magic" and public entertainment in this era. Newton's assistant Francis Hawkesby built a huge machine. The machine contains a huge rotating wheel and a glass ball, a bit like that of Germany. The professor's generator, when the rotating wheel rotates for a while, purple, blue, and lightning-like light will appear in the glass ball.

  Georgiana estimated that Napoleon would not find such an experiment any wonder. He was an academician of France, not a Louis XV who likes to play, but she did not have the guts to get the Tesla coil out "in advance".

  There is actually a lot of controversy about the magic performance of electricity, because there used to be a “magic” who “rented” the boy from the charity organization, hung him up, and then touched him with a rubbed glass tube.

  This power is not fatal, at most it is a little frightened, but the fear and tremor on the boy's face are real.

  People face the same fear of the unknown. If someone blindfolds a person to prevent him from seeing the food on his plate, he will also suspect that he is eating something strange.

  Progressive Whigs support public demonstrations. The Tories naturally have to stand on their opposite sides, so that this new magic has become an ethical question, whether it demonstrates "natural" or "soul of the world."

  Since the Birmingham riots, members of the Moonlight Society have scattered all over the world. In this age when potato seedlings have to be sprinkled with holy water, Edgworth's difficulty in education in Ireland can be imagined, but he still persists.

  Napoleon and Ireland, these two words together are definitely a threat to England. His success in Egypt last time was also because he released the news that he was going to land in Ireland. The British Navy ignored the Marseille Fleet because of the busy defensive side.

  Otherwise, what else does the wizard expect? Muggle is as novel and excited as himself after seeing "magic"? There are people like Feinong in Muggles who refuse to recognize the existence of magic even when they see magic. They even have a certain fear of magic, and the "wizards" themselves are some marginal people. They are recognized as weak in the village. If something happens They were the first to be suspicious.

  Napoleon does have certain character defects, but who likes to listen to others scolding himself?

He is now in power. He can drive Madame de Starr out of Paris, or close the French newspapers that scribble on him and his family. It is useless to make him repent by condemnation, and even Giorgioanna herself will step into Germany. In the footsteps of Mrs. Starr.

   Lobbying words are only useful if they are heard by others. Once a person develops a mentality of resistance, even if what the other party says is right, he will try every means to find the wrong place.

  Napoleon is a Leo man. He has a clear love and hate. Anyway, Georgiana will not fight him head-on, and he is not the kind of person who can't listen to persuasion at all.

   "Why are you so angry?"

"I'm going to change the sail of that ship to gray!" When she returned to the small farmhouse where she was temporarily staying, she said with anger. The officers who had been meeting in the restaurant glanced at each other and saluted Bonaparte. , And left with the map.

   "Who messed with you?" he asked after they closed the door.

  "Didn’t someone say that? Put your coat and cocked hat with a wooden stick and put them on the beach. The whole of Europe will be ready for war..."

  She was chattering and complaining, Bonaparte was very quiet to listen, and when she was out of breath, he asked again.

   "Who messed with you?"

  "A children's literature writer!" She whispered, "What good books can someone like her write for children."

  "Do you want me to ban her book from being published in France?"

"Do not!"

  He looked at her inexplicably.

   "Enemy!" She patted the table and announced with a mighty "Do you agree with her point of view? Only use relations between people?"

  He looked at the artillery position in the distance, as if he wanted to “inspect” there at the moment.

"Do you still remember what I said when I went to St. Luke's Palace with you on the first day, if you have a new love, I will become Medea, and I will not do anything to you, but your new love has your The heir will be out of luck." She said calmly.

  Napoleon was not afraid, nor irritated, or trying to teach her, but smiled.

  "Do you think I dare not?"

   "How could I suspect a witch?" He said with a smile.

   "Then how can you still laugh."

   "If I am loyal to you, can you be loyal to me too, forget that man, don't wait until the Portuguese moon." Bonaparte asked.

  She did not answer.

"You're scared." He said confidently, then stood up and put on the three-cornered hat without a cockade. "There are many people who want me to surrender, Mantua, the parliament, I have none, you think you threaten me it works?"

  He turned his gaze to her, it was so fierce, she couldn't help but step back.

"I can understand how crazy a woman in love can do, but if you think you can use this as an excuse to do something bad for France, I won't let you go. My heir is not only about inheriting me The career of France, and the future of France, is what you call the hope..."

   "Why did you treat me that way when you were by the canal that day!" She screamed, "I thought you were my brother."

  His eyes softened, then turned his head, and left silently, as if he wanted to avoid her crying.

  She leaned on the table and sat on the ground.

  It is precisely because she knows that love is conditional, that she understands how precious unconditional love is.

  Even father’s love is not completely unconditional, because for some men, his love for children depends on his love for the child’s mother.

  There are too many examples of this kind to list...

"Because I love you."

  She turned her head and saw Bonaparte standing at the door and returning.

  He was panting, as if he had run a long way.

   "I am sorry for that person..."

   "My husband is a dark wizard, stupid Muggle." She smiled bitterly and said, "Do you know what kind of enemies you have provoked?"

   "I know." He took two steps forward. "I think I need your love to give me the courage to defeat him."

  She looked at him.

  "You ask me death or life which is more difficult to defeat. Now my enemy is him in your heart. I have never experienced a war like that. I think it's not just a victory that can be won by courage and ability."

   "Yes." She stood up, "Have you heard this word? When God hears it, he will grant peace and joy."

  He did not answer.

  "As a leader, you can disbelieve in God, Leon, but I will pray for you." She said, "Your future partner had better do the same."

  "Are you prophesying?"

   "Why do you say that?"

  "Leynorman said that Josephine would become a queen, but you were talking about a partner."

   "I don't know, Leon, I am not a prophet."

   "But you accurately predicted that snowy night murder."

  She smiled bitterly, because it was part of history.

  But the "history" now is different from the "past".

  "Because you heard the news beforehand?" Bonaparte asked, "Or use this as an excuse to approach me?"

  She seemed to hear the metal rubbing sound of the sword when it was unsheathed.

   "Remember what I said, does a **** want your soul?" Georgiana said, "She told me."

  There is no expression on his face.

  "Do you want love, or do you not want love?" she asked.

  He kept his straight military posture and stood for a while, and finally he walked quickly to her side, held her face and kissed her.

  This kiss is like a "switch" that makes her sanity disappear without a trace.

  She once said that she never loved any heroes, whether it was a hero who died early or a "hero" in Greek mythology.

  Now she regrets it, and she will be extremely grateful for any hero who can save her weak woman.

  God, if you can really hear it, send one!

As soon as the voice in her heart fell, she heard a loud noise. I didn't know if it was thunder or the sound of a cannon. She was taken aback, so she stopped thinking about those strange things, lest she think too much about being struck by lightning. .
