[Infrastructure] Rose kissed Barcelona

When the first flash of lightning flashed, there was a sound of footsteps, and Antonio walked into the hall, holding a small long box in his right hand.

He casually wiped his hair, which was already covered with some shiny rainwater.

"Is it raining?" Joey put the newspaper aside.

Antonio nodded: "It's not small - at least I can't continue to watch the construction site from the top of the hill."

The mysterious incident of the Montjuïc tram made so much noise that the people of Barcelona had an extremely deep understanding of the existence of electricity, especially the danger of staying in the wilderness during thunderstorms.

"Oh." Joey stood up with a smile, "You just came back. I have a present for you."

"Here we come!" Vincent sat by the window sill of the studio and waved to Mary. "Remember our bet—one hundred pesetas. I don't think he will understand!"

Mary shook her head helplessly: "Boring."

The glass can't cut off their sight, but it really cuts off their voice.Following the direction of Joey's finger, Antonio looked over.

Under the exquisite stained glass window designed by myself, there is a dark and unknown object.

He frowned slightly.

Joy rested comfortably on the back of the sofa with one hand, and asked him with a smile on his face: "How is it, do you like it?"

Antonio thought carefully for a moment, and suddenly realized: "Oh—this is Montjuic Mountain." This is a declarative sentence.

"Bingo!" Joey nodded approvingly.

Vincent watched from upstairs, his eyes widened in astonishment.His nose was nearly crushed against the window, and a small mist of moisture formed on the glass.

He was tapped lightly on the shoulder.

The little girl's calm voice sounded faintly from behind: "You said it. One hundred pesetas. No bad debts."

……

Antonio walked around the model of Montjuic Mountain and commented leisurely.

"Very precise."

"Very realistic."

"The perfect model base."

Of course, Joey thought.I have studied modern architecture for five years.

"You are more standard than the models made by my classmates."

Hearing this sentence, Joey couldn't help but want to be stupid: "How compared to you?"

Antonio opened his mouth and suddenly closed it again.

Afterwards, he blinked at her, with a pure and flawless smile in his blue eyes: "It's stronger than me."

"Hey." Joey's vanity was greatly satisfied.

Antonio Gaudi, one of the most famous architects in the history of the world, said that her models are much better than his!

It's a shame she can't just travel back to the 21st century now and show off to her classmates.

Of course, one still has to be self-aware.

Joey couldn't help laughing and squinted his eyes, and the modesty in traditional culture nodded at this moment: "No, it's just as long as you like it."

Antonio nodded solemnly, looking straight into her eyes: "I like it very much-can I continue to make a model of the venue on it?"

"It's an honor." Joey smiled.

She saw the small box in Antonio's hand and asked curiously, "What is that?"

"It's nothing." Antonio pushed the box back and replied flatly, "I bought some mercury."

Joey staggered: "Water, mercury?"

Did she hear it right?

She asked in shock: "What do you buy mercury for?" Does anyone else buy mercury empty-handed?

"It is necessary to make a model." Antonio replied as a matter of course.

"What kind of model needs mercury?" Joey became more and more suspicious.

"It's very complicated." He said concisely, as if he didn't want to continue to explain.

Joey quickly stopped his way: "Wait—you brought mercury into my house, I have to ask about it."

There are old and young in this house... oh no old.But there are small children.

Antonio nodded: "Now you know."

Joey felt something was wrong.

"Antonio, don't you know that mercury is poisonous?"

Antonio patiently explained: "A little bit. But it doesn't matter, I will keep it well and not leave it everywhere."

The more I heard it, the more wrong it became.

That's mercury!When Joey was a child, he accidentally broke a thermometer. The adults were so frightened that they opened all the windows in the winter, and rushed to the hospital with her in their arms.

A little?Where is one point, is it a billion points?

A terrible guess came to Joey's mind.

"Antonio, don't you know that mercury is highly poisonous, very poisonous! And it is extremely volatile, so it can be easily inhaled."

"...Huh?" Antonio turned his head in surprise, "But many tooth powders and medicines contain mercury. It can cure tuberculosis."

Joey's voice trembled a little: "You said, people use mercury to cure tuberculosis? They also brush their teeth?"

Antonio nodded: "I heard it's very effective. It just has some side effects."

Joey's whole head buzzed, and his head grew bigger.

……

"I'm really lucky."

After frantically studying a bunch of materials with the energy of his graduation project, Joey came to this conclusion and collapsed at the table.

Her body has never used mercury-containing tooth powder, never suffered from tuberculosis, and within the known range, she should not have been inadvertently contaminated with mercury-this is actually an unlikely thing.

Since the age of alchemists, the amalgamation technique of mercury alchemy has been sought after by people.Spain is rich in cinnabar mines, from which mercury can be extracted for alchemy.Especially more than 20 years ago, there was a gold rush in California on the New World, and a large number of gold mines greatly increased the demand for mercury.

At the same time, scientists have also used high-quality amalgam in dental fillings and even in raw materials for explosives.As for mercury itself—doctors believe it can cure syphilis, tuberculosis, constipation, and many other ailments.

Mercury was already known to be presumably poisonous—since gold miners, as well as several other types of workers who regularly worked with mercury, often got sick.

But in the general perception of the public, this is probably not essentially different from lung disease caused by dust.Moreover, people often think that if this thing is poisonous, just don't eat it in your stomach-who can't think about swallowing mercury?

Joey dialed the phone with trembling hands: "University of Barcelona?"

"I want to do a medical experiment."

"Well... mainly to provide an idea, I won't write the paper..."

"Yes...we need a few cages of mice."

When the fluffy and soft mouse was delivered to the Fernandez House, it aroused the special attention of the whole family, especially Ziyawu.

The black cat walked around the cage several times with its back arched, and curiously tried to stretch out its paws to get one in - but the little white mice screamed and escaped its paws.

"Okay, these are precious experimental materials." Joey picked up the Purple Tooth Crow, "You can't eat it, you can't play with it."

Although it is a bit cruel, she can't use people as experiments.

She knew that mercury was highly poisonous, but she had to have solid evidence to tell people that.Animal experiments are the most direct and effective way.

Little Mary squatted beside the cage with great interest: "How many control groups should we divide into?"

She has already learned about the control group of chemistry experiments, and her test scores are still full marks every time. She really is someone else's child.Or the kind that grows up to win the Nobel Prize.

Adhering to the spirit of heuristic education, Joy followed the guidance: "We want to verify the toxicity of mercury to living organisms in different states. How many groups do you think should be divided?"

Mary thought about it seriously, and soon took a notebook and started writing and drawing.

Finally, the mice were divided into five groups.

A group of blank control groups were fed with rat food and water every day, and they were happy and lucky rats.

One group was infused with liquid mercury at a dose of two grams per kilogram of body weight on the basis of normal feeding of rat food and water.

One group was also fed normally, and the same mass ratio of mercury powder was added to the feed.

Another group was fed with mercury solution.

The last group was not fed mercury, but had filled mercury tanks in their cages.

Seeing Vincent lying on the glass looking into the laboratory, Mary came out quietly from behind him: "Vincent, do you still bet?"

Vincent replied subconsciously: "I bet that the mouse that was injected with mercury will die first... Wait! No, I won't bet with you."

Mary shrugged. "Really? Actually, I don't know which way is the most toxic."

Vincent immediately wavered: "Ah, then... just bet! I don't believe it anymore. I'll bet on the group that poured mercury!"

Mary smiled and shook her head: "I don't gamble. I don't believe in the results without scientific speculation."

Vincent:"……"

The entire Fernandez family showed great interest in the new business of biological experiments started by Joey.

Even the journalists who often come to watch the door of the house soon heard the news, so the tabloids quickly appeared gossip: "According to an insider who did not want to be named, Miss Fernandez, who always brings us surprises, is expanding her new business again. It's business."

"This lady has been a little weird recently. She seems to have lost interest in pure business development, and she even wants to grab the jobs of politicians and scientists. Of course, we cannot deny that the first aid technique she introduced to medical staff is very magical, but a One cannot expect to be top-notch in every field."

"In fact, after she took a controversial step in support of the feminist movement, people's evaluation of her has become more and more complicated. It's a pity why such an intelligent, elegant, and sensible woman should have a relationship with the Bartello family. Like a queer old maid, doing something so inappropriate?"

Joey didn't pay much attention to the comments in the newspaper.

While waiting for the results of the experiment, she did not forget to continue to ask Antonio: "Be honest. What did you buy mercury for? How much did you buy before?"

Antonio spread his hands: "The time you saw it was the first time. But I was really useful - don't worry, although the results of the experiment have not yet come out, I will strictly abide by your requirements and not expose myself to mercury vapor .”

Joey was still somewhat skeptical: "What you said made me even more uncertain."

It's not her fault, it can only be blamed on Antonio's previous showmanship, she has a deep psychological shadow.

Antonio didn't panic at all: "In a few days. Don't worry, I know."

Well, he has counted... ghosts!

Joey was apprehensive while waiting.

Finally, after a few days, Antonio quite proudly invited her into his studio.

"Come on, see what mercury can do - I really can't find a better material than it."

"A flowing, growing, truly living garden courtyard."

The author has something to say: Antonio: In order to coax his daughter-in-law, the skill of telling lies with eyes open √, the skill of loving small gifts √

Woohoo, my liver is coming out...Thanks to ME for the grenade and Shuiyan's mine!Thank you for the little cuties who fed the nutrient solution and left a message!

The business trip ends tomorrow night, and normal updates should resume after that.Sorry to keep everyone waiting! !Special thanks to all the little angels who never give up. It is really difficult to get in after leaving that immersion state after writing. The working environment has collapsed in the past two days, and I almost want to give up, but seeing the paw prints of the little angels... ...I can do it again! ! !
