Harry Potter Morning Light

Chapter 1675 The Secret Words of the Goddess (20)

Whenever there is a war, people will always find a way to solve some problems that they would not normally think about, such as communication.

On October 18, 1870, a postal hot air balloon named "Victor Hugo" was launched in the Place de la Concorde. Victor Hugo participated in the launch ceremony and sent a letter to London. He also visited Kaiser's Avenue that day, the house and gardens of his childhood were gone, and a new avenue passed the old site.

In fact, France used cable telegraphs at that time, and even the United Kingdom led a submarine cable to the United States. It was the famous Agamemnon.

However, during the war, telegraphs will be controlled. Abraham Lincoln knew the importance of telegraphs well. It can even be said that the victory of the Civil War was also related to the fact that the federal government used the telegraph wires laid by the military telegraph team at risk. The American Civil War During this period, all civilian telegraphs were stopped, and Morse code was used for confidentiality. During the crucial war, Lincoln even slept directly on the small bed of the telegraph office. Sometimes the cable was cut, and the message had to be sent by hot-air balloons, pigeons, messengers, whatever means imaginable.

One piece of news can make a Rothschild family, and it can change many things. On the night of November 29, 1870, when Victor Hugo came home from the Arhat Hall across the Richelieu Road, he saw There was a tall building on the other side of the library. A window on the sixth floor of the house was open. At that time, the street was empty and dark, but there was a bright light in the window, as if from a kerosene lamp. The light came on a few times, then the window was shut and the street was dark again.

The great writer was recording everything he saw as a passerby, thinking it was a signal of some kind of military action.

At that time, there were cannon sounds from the east, west, south, and south sides of Paris, and the sound spread throughout the city. Why should there be a light signal on the sixth floor next to the French National Library in the dark?

On December 5th, the gorgeous hearse passed by Frosau Avenue. Dumas died outside the city. Whoever goes to the funeral will send an empty box.

And on the night of November 19, Victor Hugo saw the Northern Lights over Paris.

If this is not a strange thing in the 21st century, there are many ways to achieve a gorgeous light show like the aurora. However, in the 19th century, when the second electric revolution was not popularized, this kind of "light show" was impossible.

The aurora usually appears over regions of high magnetic latitude, such as the north and south poles, where the earth's atmosphere is a TV screen, and the earth's magnetic field is the electron beam guiding magnetic field. Although this aurora is beautiful, it can be compared with the combined electrical capacity generated by power stations in all countries in the world. This energy is enough to disrupt radio and radar signals, and even interfere with long-distance telephone lines and power transmission lines, thereby making certain areas In "silent" state and without power supply.

The latitude of Paris is 49 degrees, which belongs to the weak auroral zone. In the peak year of solar activity, a huge solar flare erupts can disturb the earth's magnetic field and expand the range of aurora, so that the aurora can also be seen in Paris at low and middle latitudes.

However, there may be two other situations.

One, Hugo was wrong.

Second, like the citizens of Paris in 1927, they thought that there was a grand fireworks over the Père Lachaise cemetery, or like the New York incident in 1926, a large-scale amnesia was used, and most people forgot that period of time Horrible memories, only Hugo's diary still records this paragraph.

At that time, Balzac was already dead, Dumas was not in Paris, and he was dying of illness, and there was no time to record it. However, the French Ministry of Magic did not mention such a great astronomical spectacle, as if something had been covered up .

At that time, the Muggles were busy with the war, and the media was not in the mood to pay attention to the news, not to mention that few people stayed up at midnight to observe the sky like Hugo.

Even if there is, it is the staff of the Paris Observatory, and this is also a turning point when Severus had an idea when he was making the picture. Instead of choosing the entrance of the catacombs, he chose the Paris Observatory.

When paper materials are not completely digitized, massive literature research is required. The old bat has never been soft on confinement of students and making them do coolies. It's just that he can't order students from Muggle universities, and he is not theirs. "professor".

Cuvier's office was in the Lamarck House, between the Jardin des Plantes and the University of Paris VI. The banks of the Seine are picturesque, and there are so many beautiful flowers blooming in the Botanical Garden. Teaching buildings full of artistic atmosphere are hidden in the shade of trees. There is also a zoo with flamingos, antelopes and other lovely and rare animals nearby. It's a pity not to talk about campus love while you are young.

However, before the Sixth University of Paris became an independent university, it was the Faculty of Science of the Sorbonne University. There were only science and engineering majors in it. More than 99% of the students were men. They were so energetic that they had nothing to do to scare the teacher.

As for falling in love in Paris, it is impossible, students = poor, and the consumption in Paris is not affordable for them, but there is enough space in the botanical garden for them to "freeze themselves", let alone a few of them who are less than 7 feet human , Liang Long has enough space to move around.

The Lamarck building was given to it by the students, because there is a Lamarck sculpture in front of this red building.

Lamarck, a French naturalist, proposed the theory of biological evolution in 1809 and published the book "Philosophy of Animals", 50 years earlier than Darwin's "Origin of Species".

The biggest difference between the theory of evolution and the theory of catastrophe is time. The theory of evolution evolves slowly, while the theory of catastrophe is applicable to sudden events such as asteroids hitting the earth, super volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, solar flare eruptions, reversal of the earth’s magnetic field, and clusters of dinosaurs. The extinction is generally believed to have been caused by an asteroid impact, evidenced by iridium anomalies in Cenozoic strata.

The content of iridium in the universe is very low, even lower in the earth's crust. If it is not alien, how did it come from?

As for the flipping of the earth's magnetic poles, it is not once or twice, and even if the earth itself does not flip, the sun will flip, and it will flip once every 11 years. Each flip may be accompanied by a large amount of energy release. It may be the same as in 1870, causing auroras to be seen in low-latitude areas, or nothing may happen. Humans living on the earth are like Schrödinger’s cats. It is possible that because of the magnetic poles Deaths caused by natural disasters caused by overturning may also be caused by being hit by a car when crossing the road, or by a flower pot falling from upstairs. .

If the issue of magnetic fields is really involved, then Severus and the others must be prepared to lose the existing Muggle communication means and Gianluca's remote support at any time. They have to complete this "impossible task" by themselves.

Grindelwald was born in 1883. The method of swaggering through the city in a luxury hearse in 1870 is very similar to the one he used in Paris in 1926. Everyone has parents who leave inheritances to their children, such as Salazar Slytherin who left the Chamber of Secrets and a basilisk to Voldemort.

Could those investigative materials about the Deathly Hallows also be left to him by Grindelwald's parents?

Even if it is wrong, it can save Grindelwald a lot of detours.

As soon as Severus entered the lobby of this building, he found a whale skeleton "floating" in mid-air.

That is the Cuvier's beaked whale discovered by Cuvier. This kind of whale is widely distributed on the earth, from tropical to frigid regions. At the same time, this kind of whale is also the deepest diving mammal. It is better than the sperm whale that catches squid in the deep sea. Even deeper.

Theoretically, the deep-sea giant squid can grow up to 50 meters. It may be the prototype of the sea monster in many horror stories. It is said that someone once saw a giant squid killing a sperm whale. These two monsters fought violently in the sea , After stirring up monstrous waves, they sank into the bottom of the sea together and disappeared.

The squid eaten by sperm whales will be digested, but some hard parts will be excreted after being solidified with intestinal secretions. This substance is actually the feces of sperm whales. It is black and soft when it is first excreted. It smells bad, but it will harden after years of washing in the sun, air and sea water. Those who are lucky enough to pick up this waxy substance at the seaside are the rare treasures of ambergris, and the price can be comparable to gold.

"Have you seen these, Grindelwald?" Severus said, looking at the whale skeleton in front of him. It was bathed in the bright moonlight, as if swimming in a shallow sea. It didn't look scary at all, but holy.

No one answered his question, because the person Severus asked that question was dead, in the same prison that had held those who opposed him.

He stood here for a while and then went elsewhere, the soles of his shoes on the marble tiles made a crisp sound, which was very pleasant, although it was very different from the song of a whale.

The original text is as follows:

November 20, 1870

The Northern Lights appeared last night

"David Sephine" is no longer my neighbor, and 26 horses dragged Davosephine away when she encountered the No. 41 barricade. I am sad because Dorsephine is gone, I can hear Dorsephine's voice at night, I think it is talking to me, I love my Dorsephine and little Jeanne.

Now little Rangna can clearly call her parents.

National Guard parade today.

Josephine was a cannon.
