Harry Potter Morning Light

Chapter 764 "Two-tailed Fish"

At night, when the children were supposed to go to bed and sleep in the company of fairy tales, the choir at the Church of Our Lady of the Angels was replaced by men, who sang hymns in Italian to the accompaniment of the organ.

They could actually sing the boatman's ditty, like Alessandro once sang outside the church, and he wanted a house with a well.

The basic principle of seawater desalination is actually similar to the water cycle in nature. Seawater is heated by sunlight and turns into water vapor, then floats to the land with the wind, and then falls on the land to become rain. The rain merges into rivers, lakes and seas, moisturizing After killing plants and animals, they return to the sea.

The salt is too heavy to float up, and the fresh water flowing back from the river combines with it to become sea water.

In the movie the day after tomorrow, because of the melting of glaciers, a large amount of fresh water flooded into the sea, which affected the ocean currents and caused climate chaos. The cities built by humans were destroyed in tornadoes and tsunamis, and humans ushered in the Ice Age again.

The by-product of seawater desalination is salt. If Pomona's idea can be realized, using salt bags instead of steel gates to temporarily block the sea inlet, then a seawater desalination project can not only solve the water problem of the island residents, The by-product salt can also be used for flood protection.

She has seen new energy power generation in the British Museum. Solar energy is probably not enough. If a tidal power station can be built, it can solve the electricity problem in Venice, and the heat energy in the desalination process can also provide heating for residents.

It was the plant Salicornia that allowed Venice to produce transparent glass, which Galileo then used to make astronomical telescopes.

When Moses led the Hebrews to trek in the desert, many of them could not persist because of lack of water. Thirst is not a problem that can be solved by willpower.

He used a magical plant to make the undrinkable water drinkable again, and everyone was saved.

Pomona thought so when she saw the golden relief of the "Holy Grail" enshrined on the altar. It was the last cup used by Jesus in the Last Supper. The real thing has long been lost, and many people are looking for it. .

The purpose of the cup is to hold water and wine, why didn't she think of it when she came here?
"Where did you get that book?" Alessandro demanded behind her.

As for the old bat, he was standing in the center of the marble mosaic "vortex", feeling the power of "healing" with his eyes closed.

"Have you ever heard of the Dead Sea?" Pomona asked, turning.

"The lake where one can float without swimming?" asked Alessandro.

"That's right, that's where someone found some old books in a cave near the Dead Sea. In the Bible, that place is called the Sea of ​​Arabah." She said lightly.

"I know," said Alessandro. "Lot of Sodom had a disobedient wife, and God turned her into a pillar of salt."

"Oh, yeah, that's the place." Pomona smirked. "You're so smart."

"But that city was destroyed," Alessandro said.

"Yeah, because there are too many gay men in that city." Pomona said with a sweet smile, "When God turns all disobedient women into pillars of salt, why don't we have to do that?"

Alessandro didn't quite believe it, and Pomona didn't bother to pay him any attention.

She was just that close to taking out her wand and casting a jinx on this "man" who wanted a woman to be "obedient" at a young age.

The crimes of Sodom and Gomorrah were so serious that the LORD heard about them, and the LORD would send two angels to destroy the cities.Abraham prayed for Sodom, and God promised him that the city would not be destroyed as long as there were ten righteous people in it.

That city was already full of sin, and even ten righteous men could not be found. Finally, the Lord sent brimstone and fire from heaven on Sodom and Gomorrah. Everything that grew on the ground was destroyed.

For a while, smoke rose from the plain, like a kiln, and the destruction of Venice would not be so exaggerated. It would slowly sink to the bottom of the sea. Who told the city that the "Ten-member Council" could not be assembled now.

Pisces is the last house of the zodiac, so it can be said that all the advantages and disadvantages of the twelve constellations are concentrated in one, and it can also be symbolized by two fish swimming in opposite directions on behalf of Pisces. This is multiple contradictions. a constellation.

Pisces is darker than Capricorn, representing secrets, dreams, and subconsciousness. On the bell tower of San Marco, it is adjacent to the Shepherd of the zodiac, and it is exactly at 12 o'clock at noon.

Things are reversed at extremes, flourishing and declining. When the sun rises in the middle, it is the most shining and hot and then gradually declines. People of this constellation are easily affected by negative emotions. It is difficult to save the city of Venice, but there is hope. If you don’t save it This city, let it go with the situation, that is negative, do something when you can do something, escape to the end, there is no way out.

With so much money, there will always be people who can't help tempting those who abuse their power, take bribes, and use the money to save Venice to buy houses in Sardinia and Paris.

Their purpose is all wrong.

When the city was first built, people overcame countless difficulties and finally built it.

Just like many people who have put in a lot of effort on an unknown road to achieve success, they have to think every day, observe carefully, and summarize the laws to discover those physical and chemical formulas.

Smallpox beans were also discovered after careful observation and found that there were acne marks on the arms of the milkmaid, and they used cowpox instead of human pox because they did not have smallpox.

A person who can only enjoy happiness but cannot overcome difficulties cannot make the world a better place.

Time seemed to start a new cycle. When people became unbelieving because of the Black Death, people went back to the past. Sin has become the norm, and no one thinks there is any problem.

The wedding in Ghana is about Jesus, St. Mary and the apostles meeting a family in Ghana on the banks of the Jordan River. The water in the altar was turned into wine, and everyone continued to drink and have fun.

If Maria conceived out of wedlock and the Son's carpenter father had not married her, would there still be a Holy Family?

Paolo Veronese came to Venice from Rome, and quickly abandoned the "light" style of painting, and became more colorful, with a style close to that of Titian.

In travel magazines it was also said that the painting of Notre-Dame des Ancons was painted by Tintoretto and that the one in the Louvre was a reproduction, but no one mentioned the name of Paolo Veronese even though he was the original author.

Paul Veronese and Tintoretto were classmates, and Tintoretto must live under the fame of Da Vinci and Raphael, let alone the paintings of Paul Veronese before he became famous.

No one knows those world-famous paintings, a few were painted by unknown painters, and then they were named after the masters.

Maybe it wasn't there then, but if the museum had high imitations imperceptible to the naked eye, then no one would have known.

The church has always been opposed to drawing secular figures in religious themes, but painting was a big event at that time, and it was a great honor to "attend" a wedding in Ghana.

"The one who plays the instrument is Gabrieli, the organist of St. Mark's Church." Alessandro said after Pomona. "Some say he's still here."

Pomona listened to the beautiful sound of the organ and remained silent.

"This painting was in the heyday of Venice, but Napoleon took it away. If "The Last Supper" was not a fresco, it would have been taken away." Alessandro said with hatred.

"You are lucky." Pomona stared at the painting and said, "There are quite a few Dunhuang murals in the British Museum, and they tore down the entire wall of the Buddhist Cave."

"Barbarian," said Alessandro, followed by "I don't mean you."

She didn't answer.

Fallen people will eventually fall. These people will not listen to any persuasion. Instead, they think that person is sick and meddling in other people's business.

Only those who want to correct and long for redemption are worthy of saving.

In the movie the day after tomorrow, how many people survived in the New York library?

The vast majority of people made the right choice and would starve to death if they stayed in the library without food.

But they didn't realize that God didn't choose them.

Why not find enough supplies on the way, or find a safe place to hide, and wait for the storm to pass, but follow blindly?

The rain outside the church became heavier, and Pomona prayed in her heart that Venice would not be flooded tomorrow.
