Chapter 1674 The Secret Words of the Goddess (19)

No matter what the evaluation of the Eiffel Tower is in the hearts of Parisians, the names of 72 people are inscribed on this tower, just like the 72 people buried in the Pantheon, but there is not a single writer among the 72 people inscribed on the Eiffel Tower. All are engineers, mathematicians, chemists.

While men of letters were already bathed in garlands of glory, such as roads named after Victor Hugo, and hot air balloons named after Victor Hugo, science and engineering did not Then get the attention of the world.

The rapid rise of Prussia has made the world understand a truth. Literature obviously cannot cast cannons, nor can it make the range of cannonballs longer. After the short golden age in the 19th century, literary creators began to decline again, and they were replaced by more "practical" science and engineering. The Nobel Prize for Literature is just an embellishment. People really pay attention to those in the fields of physics and mathematics. Winners.

Is it true that the higher you stand, the closer you are to heaven?

Neither telescopes on the ground nor artificial satellites in space have found a trace of heaven. Babylon built a Tower of Babel in order to go to heaven, so what's the use of standing taller?

In 1880, the French built the Eiffel Tower not only for the World Expo, but also to prove to the world that France’s national strength was restored after the Franco-Prussian War. Looking down from this commanding height, you can see a brand new city, and you can’t see the war here. The scars left behind.

However, Victor Hugo's diary recorded the situation during the siege:

On November 27, 1870, the Collège de France had resumed its work, and I was informed that thereafter a special session would be held every Tuesday.

Rat pies are being made and they are said to be delicious.

An onion costs one sou, a potato costs one sou, and a mouse costs eight sous.

They have stopped giving me permission to read my own works because they are being read everywhere without my permission. They are right that my work no longer belongs to me but to the public.

December 25, 1870, there is a news in Paris today, a basket of oysters has just arrived, and the price is 750 francs.

At the bazaar where Ellis and Mrs. Paul Morris were selling to help the poor, turkeys were always sold for two hundred and fifty francs. The Seine is frozen over.

On December 29, 1870, the gunfire continued and became fierce all night, and the Prussians continued to attack Paris.

Théophile Gautier, who had a horse requisitioned to be eaten, wrote to ask me to save his horse, and I asked the Minister to grant his request.

I saved that horse.

There is sad news that Alexandre Dumas is dead. The German newspaper has confirmed the news. On December 5, 1870, Alexandre Dumas died at the home of his son in Puys near Dieppe.

On the morning of December 31, 1870, Edmund d'Alton-Hee called on me, and it appears that General Tyroch wanted to see me.

In three days the Prussians sent twelve thousand shells. Yesterday I ate some rats and got so hiccupped that I wrote the following quatrain:

Ah, Mister and Miss Mouse,

I live on you.

Your smile kills me,

Your flesh keeps me alive.

I flipped through my diary and found a luxurious hearse passing me on December 5th, the day Alexandre Dumas died, covered in black velvet cloth with silver stars embroidered on it, even the Romans would proud of the hearse.

We can't even eat horse meat anymore, maybe dog, maybe rat, I'm starting to have a stomachache, we don't know what we're eating!

On January 2, 1871, Daumier and Louis Blanc dined with us.

Louis Koch gave his aunt a New Year's present - some cabbages and a pair of live quail. I had quail wine soup for lunch, and the elephant in the Jardin des Plantes in Paris was killed, and the elephant shed tears, as if he knew people would eat him.

The Prussians continued to fire six thousand shells at us every day.

On January 5, 1871, the bombardment intensified and Issy and Vanves were being bombarded.

Clothes could not be washed because there was no coal to dry them. My laundress Jean Mariette told me: If Victor Hugo had enough power and influence to ask the government for a little coal for me, I could wash his shirts.

Camille Peltin brings us good news for the government, January 8, 1871, French troops take back Rouen and Dijon, Giuseppe Garibaldi wins at Nouils, Louis Fred Blackbe wins at Baboom and all goes well.

We used to eat brown bread, now we eat brown bread, everyone eats the same, which is good.

Yesterday's news was brought by two pigeons.

A shell killed five children at a school on Vojija Street.

Performances and readings of The Punishment had to be stopped, and the theater had no coal or gas to light or heat it.

On January 30, 1871, little Jeanne was still in such poor health that she could not play, Miss Perigault brought Jeanne a fresh egg.

On January 31, 1871, little Jeanne was still ill. She suffered from mild gastric catarrh, which the doctor said would last for a few days. , My nephew joined us for dinner and he brought us some cured oysters.

On February 1, 1871, little Jeanne got better and smiled at me.

February 2, 1871, I have been suffering from stomach pains and I am not used to horse meat. Yesterday I said to Mrs. Ernest Lefevre, who was sitting next to me at dinner, "Those animal meats make me sick. I love horses." Hate mixed."

Beginning in November 1870, the citizens of Paris began to kill animals in the Paris Botanic Gardens in order to solve the problem of famine.

Noah's Ark is a myth. Even if it wasn't a lion or a tiger, humans still had to eat meat. It was impossible for the animals on the Ark to coexist peacefully. At least they had to be kept in cages to be safe.

A greenhouse (green-house) is like a large glass box filled with many green plants.

In addition to discovering the aerodynamic equation, Claude-Louis Navier also discovered that ultraviolet rays cannot penetrate glass, but they can penetrate quartz. The photosynthesis of plants does not require ultraviolet rays and infrared rays. The photosynthetic pigments of plants are mainly Absorbs blue-violet and red light in visible light, so it appears green.

The three primary colors of color are red, yellow and blue, which are also the basic colors of light. The three-tone harmony theory commonly used in art was proposed by chemist Michel Eugene Chevreur, and he was also in 1863 and 1879. Director of the French Museum of Natural History, which is also in the Jardin des Plantes in Paris.

Among the 72 lists, there is one person who has a deep connection with the Natural History Museum. His name is Georges Cuvier. He is not only a professor of natural history at the University of Paris, but also a lifelong professor of physics at the Collège de France. Mineral geography and fossil study, founder of anatomy and paleontology.

Balzac once said that among the greatest men, Napoleon ranks first, Cuvier ranks second, O'Connell third, and I shall be fourth.

Cuvier proposed the organ-related law, thinking that the body of an animal is a systematic whole, and all parts of the body have corresponding connections. Ruminants such as cattle and sheep have teeth that grind grass teeth, and they have corresponding chewing muscles and digestive functions. According to the Tao, carnivores such as tigers and wolves have movement and digestion functions corresponding to catching prey.

Once he was in a deep sleep, and some mischievous students planned to play tricks on Cuvier. They opened the window with a bang while Cuvier was sleeping soundly. The monster with its mouth wide open and horns on its head was howling horribly, its two hooves stretched out into the window, and it was about to pounce on Cuvier.

If the teacher of the seminary saw this animal, he would have to shout "the devil", and if the old professor happened to have a bad heart, he might have a heart attack, but Cuvier just glanced at it and continued to sleep.

Several students did not succeed in pranking, so they had to stand up. Cuvier asked them why they did it. The students asked Cuvier why he was not afraid. Cuvier smiled and said, "Didn't I tell you? Animals with horns and hooves are all herbivores and don't eat meat, so what should I be afraid of?" Then the unlucky students suddenly realized.

In 1821, Cuvier proposed the cataclysmic wheel, thinking that there have been many catastrophic events in the history of the earth, the original creatures will be destroyed, and then new creatures will be created. According to the catastrophe wheel, most of the changes on the earth will be sudden, rapid and catastrophic, for example, the oceans dry up and become land, the land rises again to become mountains, and the land may become oceans and so on.

He calculated that the earth had experienced four cataclysms, but he did not calculate that he would die of cholera in 1832, the year that Louis Philippe erected the July Column in the Place de la Bastille.

"Why do you think of the green box?" Gonceil asked Severus, looking at the botanical garden greenhouse standing quietly by the Seine not far away.

"Where are you going? The Greenhouse or the Fossil Museum?" Severus asked Gonseil.

"I think it's the botanical garden," said Conseil, curling his lips. "I remember the pattern of vines on the pillars of the vent."

"Then I'll go to the Fossil Museum." Severus said, "If you find anything, contact me immediately."

After speaking, he walked towards the red house, which was very similar in color to the exterior wall of Victor Hugo's house in the Place des Vosges.

Jeanne was Hugo's daughter, she was probably one or two years old at the time, and she couldn't call her mom and dad accurately.
