He sent her back to the door of the bedroom, and the two exchanged a brief good night, ready to part.

Heidi suddenly remembered something, and stopped him again: "Leo——"

"What?" Leonardo turned to look at her, realizing that he hadn't kissed her good night yet, smiled and leaned over to kiss her lips: "Sweet dream, Heidi."

"It's not just this—" Heidi finally remembered what she was doing in such a big circle, and directly motioned for him to come in and continue talking.

The maid next to her tried to evade, but she was also stopped: "Bring the pen and paper, I have something to talk to Mr. Da Vinci."

One of her biggest concerns right now is the birth of radio.

The reason why I intend to confess my life experience to him and explain the many twists and turns in it is, on the one hand, it is indeed for love, and on the other hand, it is also to be able to do research and development in this area more smoothly.

Heidi is good at analysis and design, but in terms of hands-on ability, Leonardo is stronger.

"...Electricity?" Leonardo didn't expect her to talk to him about this in the middle of the night, and pointed to the sky: "Lightning in the clouds?"

"Yes, and no." Heidi originally wanted to draw some schematic diagram, but after a few strokes, he found that he couldn't understand these symbols——

Light bulbs, trams, utility poles...

"Leo, there is something called electricity." She spoke seriously, explaining as straightforwardly as possible.

"This 'electricity' can be a communication tool."

"Why?" Leonardo frowned, "Do you think the thunder and lightning in the sky are messages from the gods?"

"That is electricity in nature...but people can also create something similar."

Heidi bowed her head and drew a horse and a small envelope.

"In this day and age, all our communication is by horses and messengers, right?"

"Sound and light travel faster than a horse, but it cannot travel long distances."

"But electricity, as long as the conductor is stable enough, it can travel thousands of miles, so that information can be transmitted effectively." She reached out and held his hand, with pleading eyes: "I want to create it with you."

Heidi began to tell him how omnipotent this wonderful existence is in modern society—

It is an energy source in itself, which can make cars and elevators run, and it is also a means of information transmission, which can span an entire ocean.

At the beginning, Leonardo was still a little dazed, but as she continued to add to the description, he fumbled and started to ask some questions.

"How is it stored?"

"I can only say that the container is metal, and I don't know much about it."

"So..." Leonardo thought, "I'll find some tools tomorrow, and you should rest earlier."

Heidi nodded and got up to send him away.

They kissed lightly at the door again, like a pair of pure and gentle lovers.

There are more things to do right now than lust.

The lord set the wedding date on February 2th, and began to try his best to solve many problems left over from the birth of the empire——

The first is to appease and reward the old and new nobles.

Heidi deliberately wanted to control the development of their power, and gave more gold coins and medals than the rewards in the territory.

The old nobles were proud of their blood and seniority, while the new nobles were wealthy businessmen who had sponsored wars, or important military officers and generals.

Order can only be established among the crowd, and the crowd needs checks and balances and coaxing.

The second thing is to reform the political system.

In the past, Lorenzo established the consular corps, which was divided into an internal elite of 30 people and a mixed class group of 70 people.

But the problem is that with the expansion of the territory, the selection of this recommendation system is not very powerful.

The central government must be strong enough to control the localities.

In these years, countries such as France and the United Kingdom have continuously developed centralization, and the core strength has been continuously strengthened.

After discussing with Machiavelli for a long time, Heidi made a more reliable decision——

Establish the House of Commons and reform the local political system.

There are a lot of modern advanced concepts that didn't work in this period.

It's like carrying a child whose limbs are not yet fully developed into a car. Even if he can push the accelerator to drive the car forward, the result may be quite disastrous.

Italy is currently underdeveloped in terms of economy and per capita literacy, and rashly making too modern reforms will only lead to car crashes and deaths.

She chose to adopt a political system similar to that of Britain, but not exactly copied.

——In Florence, the House of Lords is all joined by nobles, who maintain awe and respect for identity and blood.

The House of Commons is all people elected by citizens from all over the country, including various existences of the citizen class and the business class.

The monarch retains a veto and a right of inquiry, as well as various powers capable of checking and controlling parliament.

She is well aware that with the development of productivity and national power, the emperor's power will inevitably be dispersed and dispelled, but that will be a hundred years later.

In the local area, compared with the previous chaotic state of scattered rule by lords, she chose to establish a local government and retain a part of the central control power.

Local government officials will be selected by the central government, selected by local nobles, and voluntarily elected by citizens.

In any case, it is impossible to become the lord's speech.

"□□" was revised by Machiavelli himself, and all the terms and conditions are described in a watertight manner. It can not only take care of the self-esteem of various vested interests, but also subtly appease the confused and curious masses.

The whole of Italy began to unload many old burdens and move forward with more brisk steps.

Regardless of whether it is the central government or the local government, even if they have objections, they dare not resist.

Military power and monarchy are firmly bound together, and no matter how many opinions there are, they are as silent as bubbles.

The House of Commons was quickly formed, and newspapers enthusiastically promoted related concepts.

People are actively discussing these new concepts and trying to find some benefits for themselves from these new policies.

Before the craze faded, the queen did another big thing.

Together with the Holy See and the Academy of Florence, she decided to revise the Code.

The Florence Academy represents a group with the highest knowledge of humanities.

The Holy See, on the other hand, means the trial of morality and truth.

When Heidi took the crown with her own hands, many countries in the vicinity received the news very quickly, and there was a lot of discussion about it——

How could she be so bold? !

Does she still care about the face of the Medici family?Openly do this kind of thing to the Pope? !

Some people even began to lament that this role is another disaster for the country and the people, predicting that this so-called empire will collapse completely within 30 years.

But Heidi was unmoved, and even relaxed a lot in her heart.

What she wants is the reshuffle of teaching power and royal power.

1000 years ago, the authority of the church was almost unlimited-the pope had his own army, and he could treat royal family members and even the king himself roughly and arbitrarily.

The four words of issuing religious membership are tantamount to a death sentence, which can change the face of many people in power.

But now, things are starting to turn around again.

In the past few hundred years, the Pope's control and influence have been disintegrating, like a tiger or leopard whose claws and fangs have been removed, it is a huge but weak existence.

When Lorenzo was threatened by the pope to "excommunicate", even the citizens came out with weapons to support him.

And Heidi directly put this matter on the bright side.

——Royal authority should be higher than religious authority.

As the pope, Giovanni Jr. should be worshiped and admired by all the believers, but she should never interfere with her control and choice of policies.

And when he committed an unforgivable crime, she, as a king, should have the power to punish and interrogate him.

The so-called monarch should be above ten thousand people.

Clarice had settled herself as a patron of the arts, and her children's upbringing had been kind and relaxed.

After Lorenzo's death, she gave up many obsessions and was tired of those intrigues.

As long as the children can grow up safely and healthily, other things can be put aside.

And Giovanni Jr. was also quite cooperative - he was originally afraid of the position of Pope.

For an 11-year-old child, he can't even sit in a high position, let alone how to control the scepter.

Because of this, Heidi's reforms are much easier.

She is good at guessing the psychology and needs of different groups, and at the same time removes many obstacles with ease, so that many complex affairs can be played in harmony like a symphony orchestra.

After the "Code" was promulgated, a stone directly caused a thousand waves, which shocked the whole of Florence——

The tax law has been overhauled, and the right to contraception has been opened up at the same time!

How can this be? !

This—is the Pope completely willing to agree to these things? !

As it turns out, the Pope himself not only agreed, but also helped to cite passages from the Bible and explain them.

The tax law naturally pleased the vast majority of people - the tithe was completely banned, and all the fancy tax names that the Holy See used to beat the bone and suck the marrow were all burned up, allowing the business class to develop more freely and relaxedly.

But things related to contraception completely make people fall into confusion and contradictions.

There are many women who breathe a sigh of relief and feel uneasy at the same time.

Did they violate the deal by doing this, and would they be punished and sent to hell later?

However, it didn't take long for them to wait and see, and missionaries began to preach Protestantism in groups, and explained the rationality of these two things——

Children are also lives worthy of respect and protection.

Love your neighbor like your son, and you should love your son like yourself.

Blind birth of children without adequate and secure parenting will only inflict untold misery and harm on the children—and these things will eventually come back to the parents of the children.

Even if it is for doing good deeds and accumulating virtue, one should not blindly have too many children. This is a manifestation of respecting God and the Bible.

When Heidi made this choice, she hardly hesitated.

She knows that the legalization of abortion is a complex and controversial proposition, but at least women should have equal rights when it comes to contraception.

Their bodies are completely their own.

-2-

In her previous life, Heidi didn't want people to think of her as a feminist.

She will not starve herself like a shriveled skeleton in order to cater to the tastes of men, and she will have reservations about the objectified past in the second half of her life.

And in the second half of her life, she was embraced by feminists as a benchmark figure-they believed that her naked body in front of the camera was a bold and self-expression, which was a typical feminist behavior.

The fact is that the nude shooting at the age of 19 was completely deceived and violently coerced by the director.

She had experienced too many wars and chaos in her previous life, so she was cautious and avoided enough to stand in line.

In any case, one thing still had a profound impact on her - 'Roe v. Wade case'.

For Americans, this case is like the second civil war.

The women's movement to legalize abortion has fermented vigorously from the beginning of the 1973th century until 7, when the U.S. Federal Court finally affirmed that women's abortion rights were protected by the Constitution with a 2-[-] vote.

Opponents of abortion are vehement, seeing it as a contempt for the life of the fetus.

On the other side, women should have the power to make choices about their bodies.

From Heidi's youth all the way into old age, the controversy continued to pull back and forth, like an endless struggle.

She has witnessed many conflicts, and has grown from a young girl to a married woman, raising children and experiencing marriage.

Looking back to the ancient Middle Ages, abortion is also full of sins.

But in the confession manuals in churches, there are often no confession instructions for certain things.

People acquiesce in infanticide and abandonment, and they also quietly practice contraception and abortion.

Heidi chose to remove her own emotions and tendencies from it, and revise the protection of women and children from a perspective that is sufficiently in line with this era.

Sexual abuse of young children is a crime, child labor is a crime, and oppression of women is a crime.

She didn't want to see a large-scale witch-hunt movement, putting certain things on the table in advance.

The introduction of each decree is to hit a stick and give a sweet date, using vague and inflammatory statements to mobilize public opinion and lead the country to a brighter direction.

Meanwhile, she set up a whole new festival—

February 2, the Sabbath.

Citizens across the country should go to church early in the morning to observe a moment of silence for all the children who have tragically lost their lives.

These children may have died from the neglect of their parents, from the infection and erosion of diseases, or they may have been bitten clean by wild dogs, without even leaving any bones.

Every year, tens of thousands of children are born in haste and die in agony and despair.

"—People should face up to the crimes they committed with their own hands." Facing some people's questioning, the queen only explained this sentence.

On February 2, a long queue of citizens gathered beside the Arno River.

People murmured prayers for requiem, placed paper boats and paper flowers on the river, and watched them walk slowly into the distance.

Many women came with children.

They looked at the white daisies blooming on the river and the paper boat that was swaying, and their eyes turned red unconsciously.

Rest in peace, child.

Heaven will give you peace and warmth.

May your next life be filled with happiness and love.

Heidi had little time for wedding matters.

Her business in Milan is gradually being transferred to many cities in China, and the penicillin workshop is also developing and expanding. The documents to be processed every day can be piled up from the desk to the ceiling.

Five days before the wedding, she finally got rid of most of her burdens and went to meet her fiancé.

Leonardo has been very busy recently, and he has a lot of ore dust on his body.

As early as fifteen days ago, Heidi showed him a sufficiently wonderful experiment.

— Insert different metal wires into apples or potatoes, and then use these two wires to stimulate the dead frog, and the latter's legs will start to kick, as if they were resurrected.

In order to figure out the specific structure of the battery, the genius collected almost all the metals he could find back into the workshop.

He can vaguely feel the wonderful reactions between various metals, but observing these things is like watching a performance through a curtain, and he can't see anything clearly.

"Maybe we need a table of elements?" Heidi watched how he tossed the metal plate and salt water, and sat beside him curiously: "What are these two?"

"Zinc plate and silver plate." Leonardo motioned her to get closer, and touched the wet cloth on both ends with his hands.

Heidi touched it cautiously, and immediately felt a tingling sensation like an electric shock from her fingertips.

"Is this—electricity?" She sniffed her fingertips subconsciously, realizing that the cloth was also soaked in salt water.

"I don't even know why." Leonardo reached out his hand to touch the wet cloth, then retracted his hand violently, turned to look at her and said, "Is this the kind of thing you're talking about?"

"It should be." Heidi frowned: "Is it related to different metals?"

"It's not just metal," Leonardo motioned to Michelangelo to bring the notebook over, explaining to her what he had discovered: "Two metal plates by themselves don't give this impression, but as long as there is a medium in between ..."

"Electricity will start to pass." She subconsciously said.

"Wait, what if we make two giant batteries?!"

"what?"

Heidi took the brush and drew a huge reaction box, with metal plates of different materials on both sides and flowing liquid in the middle.

"Maybe this can solve the problem," she said more and more briskly: "We should invent an instrument that can detect the intensity of the current, at least we can no longer test the intensity by hand—"

"Frog?" Michelangelo subconsciously said, "I bought a box?"

"No, something more reliable..." Heidi suddenly remembered something.

She took apart an ammeter.

That thing is said to be a product of the nineteenth century, and by the time she was in physics class, it was no longer a rare thing.

There's a magnet inside, and coiled springs and wires...

The adults, who were supposed to be in the studio and office, spent the afternoon getting everything they needed and starting making instruments.

The ammeter was the first to come out of the oven—Heidi probably remembered the position and arrangement of the coils. Although she made a few mistakes, she could barely reach the correct state after the arrangement and combination.

As long as the two ends are connected to the salt bridge, the pointer will start to swing left and right, and the swing amplitude will vary depending on the material.

And the liquid battery also quickly produced——

In repeated experiments, they found that the most suitable carrier turned out to be sulfuric acid.

It is highly corrosive, and it will hurt if you touch it casually, but it also reacts most strongly with different metal plates.

The protective masks and gloves made by Heidi a few years ago came in handy, and there were a lot of guys watching from afar beside the pillars.

The material of the metal plate is constantly being confirmed, and related wonderful discoveries are also increasing——

The two stayed in the middle of a pile of chemical equipment for an entire afternoon, and it was not until dusk that they remembered how long it had been since they had seen each other, and then smiled and kissed each other's forehead and lips.

Being able to stay together for an afternoon, even if there is no time to talk about the word love, seems to be enough.

They directly shared the relevant results with the Florence Academy, triggering more fanatical and curious discussions.

With batteries, generators are not far behind.

If a stable power supply system can be established, even if it is not as stable and powerful as modern times, long-distance communication will become a reality——

Heidi can no longer imagine the world ten years from now, twenty years from now.

If they really unite scholars to explore the mysteries of electricity, how fast will the world enter the technological and industrial revolution? !

When February [-]th came, both the bride and groom were almost late.

According to ancient customs, they should not meet on the eve of the wedding, and the fact is the same--

One was doing electrical experiments at the Florence Academy until midnight, and the other was leading officials from the upper and lower houses to meet overnight to revise the bill.

——If you are about to get married, can't you rest in peace for a while? !

——Do you two really know that you are going to get married? ! !

Leonardo couldn't help being babbled by Botticelli, and his best man was still cynical, but remembered to help him get the contours of his hair into the best condition.

Raphael and another little girl acted as flower girls, with baskets full of red and white rose petals.

Heidi was helped out by Mr. Ruchelle.

She was dressed like a sun goddess, with a peaceful and quiet smile.

A talented painter designed her the most beautiful wedding dress, even more luxurious than the one in Genoa.

From the hem of the skirt to the sleeves of the clothes, it is as if countless stars are dotted in it, and every gesture is shining brightly.

And the golden thread is intertwined and embroidered to create complicated patterns, the wings of the phoenix overlap with the skirt of the clothes, and when the sleeves are raised, it is like the wings of a phoenix bird.

She smiled and walked towards him, the gems on her ears and neck shining brightly.

The sun, the moon and the stars are all around her siblings, but they are not half as bright as those light blue eyes.

The slightly curly black hair hangs down on the shoulders and back, classical and noble like a nobleman from Rome.

The man stared at his lover from afar, even breathing still.

— This is his lover.

The one and only belongs to his lover.

"Whether rich or poor."

"Whether rich or poor."

"Whether in health or in sickness."

"Whether healthy or sick."

"I will always love you, respect you, and cherish you."

"I will always love you, respect you, and cherish you."

They stared at each other with their fingers clasped, each other's light and shadow engraved in their eyes, and their voices overlapped like the sound of violins.

"—until death do us part."
