Harry Potter Morning Light

Chapter 2047 "Watchtower" ([-])
Around 1730, the German professor Bosch built a machine that, by shaking its huge wheels, could generate unprecedented electrostatic forces.When the experiment was shown, a British correspondent named Henry Baker was attracted. He wrote: "Sparks flashed in her mouth, and they looked so frightened and painful."

Leaving aside the issue of how static sparks shine in people’s mouths, anyone who wears woolen sweaters knows that static electricity will 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 electric circuits.

In 1746, Professor Miesenbrook of Leiden University in the Netherlands inadvertently invented a glass bottle wrapped with metal foil inside and outside while doing experiments. for the Leyden bottle.

It can be understood as a battery that can store a lot of electrical energy.One day when Miesenbrook's lawyer friend was visiting his home, he accidentally touched the bottle and nearly electrocuted him.In order to save him, Misenbrook stretched out his hand and pulled him, and the two were electrocuted together.

After being frightened, the lawyer friend said that he would not touch the bottle anymore, but Misenbrook took it around the world. Of course, whoever touched the bottle would get an electric shock, and some people got nosebleeds from the shock.This little bottle overturned all accepted theories that electricity is non-transmittable and fleeting, and at the same time it was discovered that if one person held the bottle and the other held the conductor, they would both jump from the electric shock.

So a serious scientific experiment turned into entertainment. Jean-Antoine Nolet, an academician of France, invited Louis XV to watch the performance, and asked seven hundred guards to line up hand in hand. The first row was a group of priests. Suddenly everyone jumps up.

The ease of making a Leiden jar and the ease of charging it with a spinning sphere or friction rod meant that experiments with electricity were no longer the preserve of royalty 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 whole kite string were fully charged, and the filaments on the string stretched.The threads at that time were all made of plant or animal fibers, and there would definitely be fluff, which was similar to an electrostatic reaction. The key point is that Benjamin Franklin did not directly hold the kite string with his hands, nor did he use a silver key to guide the lightning, so that the lightning would strike him. Kite.If he really did this, the founding father of the United States would have met his heavenly father a long time ago. Anyone who doesn't believe him should try it. If he is struck by lightning, he will still be alive and guaranteed to be on the news the next day.

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. The initial panic is followed by the pleasure of dopamine secretion. Erasmus · Darwin wrote "Wild Conjectures Concerning the Similarity of the Activities of the Human Soul and the Electro-Electric Activities".

Georgiana has always felt that the "dance" danced by young people in the 20th century looked like epilepsy. In the 19th century, people were shocked until they had epilepsy all over their bodies. Of course, electric shocks were also used to treat epilepsy...

All in all, in 1747, someone in Northampton demonstrated planetary motion with an instrument that drives the solar system with electricity. Watt made a more exquisite one. She thinks this is the most suitable gift for Napoleon. In addition, it can be small Make a change, like adding a new Fresnel-made lighthouse light to the sun.

The cutting-edge technology of this era is often demonstrated in the form of a "show". Even if it does not attract investors, it can still attract some theatergoers to earn ticket money.Of course, good and evil are mixed among them. For example, the one who said that the crystal skull has magical powers, he often arranges some "diffusing gas", anyway, just to bluff the audience.

Electricity was still known as a kind of "magic" and public entertainment in this era. Newton's assistant Francis Hawkesby built a huge machine. The machine contained a huge spinning wheel and a glass ball, a bit like the German The professor's generator, when the rotating wheel rotates for a while, purple, blue, and lightning-like lights will appear in the glass ball.

Georgiana estimated that Napoleon would not find such an experiment unusual. He was a French academician, not the fun-loving Louis XV, but she did not have the guts to get out the Tesla coil "in advance".

There is actually a lot of controversy about the electric magic show, because a "magician" once "rented" a boy from a charity, hung him up, and touched him with a rubbed glass tube.

This electricity is not fatal, at most it is just a little frightened, but the fear and trembling 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.

The progressive Whigs supported public demonstrations, and the Tories were rightfully opposed to them, so that this new magic became an ethical question whether the demonstrations were of "nature" or "the soul of the world."

Since the riots in Birmingham, members of the Moonlight Society have been scattered all over the world.In this era when potatoes were sprinkled with holy water, one can imagine how difficult it was for Edgeworth to educate in Ireland, but he still persisted.

Napoleon and Ireland, the combination of these two words is definitely a threat to England. He succeeded in going to Egypt last time because he released the news that he was going to land in Ireland. The British navy ignored the Marseille fleet because it was busy defending there.

Otherwise, what else do wizards expect? Muggles are as novel and excited as themselves after seeing the "magic"?There are also people like Feinon among Muggles who refuse to admit the existence of magic even after seeing magic. They even have a certain fear of magic power, and "wizards" themselves are some marginal people. They are recognized as weak in the village. They were the first to suspect.

Napoleon did have certain character flaws, but who likes to listen to others scolding themselves?

Now that he is in power, he can drive Mrs. de Stael out of Paris, and he can also close the French newspapers that write about him and his family. It is useless to make him repent by condemning him. Even Georgiana herself will go to Germany In the footsteps of Mrs. Starr.

Lobbying is only useful if others listen to it. Once people form a resistance, even if what the other party says is right, they will try their best to find fault.

Napoleon is a Leo man with a clear love and hate. Anyway, Georgiana will not confront him head-on, and he is not the kind of person who will not listen to advice at all.

"Why are you so angry?"

"I'm going to change the sails of that ship to gray!" After returning to the small farmhouse where she was temporarily staying, she said angrily. The officers who had been meeting in the restaurant looked at each other and saluted Bonaparte. , and left with the map in between.

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

"Didn't someone say it? Put your coat and three-cornered hat on a wooden stick and put them by the sea, and the whole of Europe will be ready for war..."

She babbled and complained, and Bonaparte listened quietly, and when she was out of breath, he asked again.

"Who messed with you?"

"A writer of children's literature!" she growled under her breath. "What a good book someone like her can write for children."

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

"No!"

He looked at her puzzled.

"Enemy!" She slapped the table, announcing in such an imposing manner, "Do you agree with her point of view? There is only a relationship between people?"

He looked at the artillery positions in the distance, as if he wanted to "inspect" there at the moment.

"Do you still remember what I told you the first day I went to St. Luke's Palace, if you have a new love, I will become Medea, I will not do anything to you, but your new love, and your Bad luck is coming to the heir," she said quietly.

Napoleon was not afraid, nor was he angry or trying to teach her a lesson, but instead smiled.

"You think I dare not?"

"How could I suspect a witch?" he laughed.

"Then how can you still laugh?"

"If I am loyal to you, can you also be loyal to me, forget about that man, don't wait until Portugal." Bonaparte asked.

She did not answer.

"You're scared." He said firmly, then stood up and put on the three-cornered hat without a cockade. "There are many people who want me to surrender. I don't have Mantua or the parliament. Do you think your threat is harmful to me?" it works?"

He turned his gaze to her so fiercely that she couldn't help but take a step back.

"I can understand how crazy things women 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 just about inheriting me The cause of France, and the future of France, is what you call hope..."

"Why did you do that to me that day by the canal!" she screamed "I thought you were my brother."

His eyes softened a little, then he turned his head and left silently, as if trying 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 fatherly love is not completely unconditional, because for some men, his love for his child depends on his love for his mother.

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

"Because I love you."

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

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

"I'm sorry for that person..."

"My husband is a dark wizard, stupid Muggle." She said with a wry smile. "Do you know what kind of enemies you have made?"

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

She looks at him.

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

"That's right." She stood up. "Have you ever heard the word? When God hears it, it gives peace and joy."

He didn't answer.

"As a leader, you don't have to believe in God, Leon, but I'll pray for you," she said. "Your future partner better do the same."

"Are you prophesying?"

"Why do you say that?"

"Renorman said Josephine would be queen, but you said mate."

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

"But you accurately predicted the snowy night murder."

She smiled wryly, because that was part of history.

But the present "history" is no longer the same as the "past".

"Because you heard the news beforehand?" asked Bonaparte, "or is it an excuse to approach me?"

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

"Remember when I said there was a god who wanted your soul?" Georgiana said. "She told me."

There was no expression on his face.

"Do you want love, or don't you want love?" she asked.

He stood in a straight military posture for a while, and finally he came to her side with quick steps, held her face and kissed her.

This kiss seemed to be a "switch" that made her sanity disappear without a trace.

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

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

God, if you can hear, send one!
As soon as the words in her heart fell, she heard a loud noise. She didn't know whether it was thunder or the sound of the cannon. She was startled, so she stopped thinking about those strange things, lest she would be struck by lightning if she thought too much .
