It is undoubtedly an extremely strange thing that ancient Roman utensils appear in China now.
He took out his monocle from his pocket and observed it from afar.
Naturally, it can be seen that these items are brand new.
After all, if the lead-tin wine glass is made old, Cixi will definitely not use it for drinking, at most it will be a decoration.
However, although they are new wine vessels, A Liguo found that the shapes of these vessels are surprisingly Roman!
You must know that today is not an era when everyone in the future generations will be fine. Archeology is only in the hands of a few nobles, and the archaeological results are not rich.
So being able to make such an authentic Roman-style wine glass shows that the maker must have a well-preserved object, even...
It is very likely that they still have an ancient ruin in their hands!
A Liguo once heard from explorers who went to the inland areas of China that there was a legend that an ancient Roman army had visited the Northwest of China, and then had a confrontation with the Han Empire at that time.
This period of history can no longer be verified, but it is very likely that relevant cultural relics will be buried deep in the yellow sand.
As long as you find these treasures, you will definitely make a fortune, and at the same time, you can further promote the deeds of the Europeans who have abundant martial arts since ancient times.
Out of economic interests or cultural ambitions, A Liguo felt that after the meeting, it was necessary for him to have a good talk with that young Tatar named "Qing Zhi".
……
Compared with the astonishingly sized luminous pearls, Western wine sets are not so attractive to Empress Dowager Cixi.
However, according to Jin Qingzhi, warming good fruit wine with this wine pot will make the fruit wine extremely sweet and have the effect of prolonging life.
Cixi intends to give it a try.
Jin Qingzhi's statement is naturally not nonsense, deceiving the king.
He has practiced it himself.
The Romans used lead pots to boil sour wine, and the product of the combination of acetic acid and lead ions was hydrated lead acetate.
These soluble white crystals are very sweet.
Of course, the side effects of lead poisoning are even sweeter.
……
After showing the first two birthday gifts, the third birthday gift is even more exciting.
The reason why more than a dozen eunuchs were required to carry the burden was mainly because the third birthday present was relatively large in number—DDT anti-mosquito and insect repellent perfume.
To be honest, this is really not Zhu Fugui pitting Cixi.
DDT is a good thing. In later generations, humans relied on it to successfully control malaria, dengue fever, yellow fever and other mosquito-related diseases.
Even the inventor of DDT won the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1948.
He deserved this award more than the 1949 Nobel Prize in Medicine.
The winner of the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1949 was Dr. Moniz, the founder of prefrontal lobotomy that President Lincoln had enjoyed in advance.
The medical awards in 1948 and 1949 were fantastic!
……
In terms of toxicity, DDT is actually quite ordinary, a little brother.
It will only accumulate in the human body for a long time, causing liver toxicity, leading to hepatomegaly and necrosis of the central lobules of the liver; inhibiting the immune function of the spleen, thymus, and lymph nodes, reducing the production of antibodies; disrupting hormone secretion, reducing the number of sperm, leading to premature birth and Pathologically overweight.
It is incomparable with paraquat or something.
It is slow and inefficient.
It can be seen that Zhu Fugui is kind, friendly and united to the Manchu royal family!
In fact, the three-point gift to Xingzhen this time was all cooked slowly, without any strong medicine.
This is of course because the world cannot live without her, Yehenara Xingzhen.
If she dies, the land of Huaxia will only become more chaotic, and Da Ming hastily entered the pass, so he can only embark on the old path of compromise with the gentry.
But not being able to let Xingzhen go to heaven on the spot doesn't mean that Zhu Fugui won't send a different kind of blessing.
The luminous pearl, the Roman wine vessel, and the DDT perfume, although these were carefully selected by Zhu Fugui, in the final analysis, this is Jin Qingzhi's birthday gift, so what does it have to do with me, Zhu Fugui?
He grew up listening to the stories of Ms. Xingzhen, and now he is fortunate to be the soul mate of each other. Naturally, Zhu Fugui will not forget to give Ms. Xingzhen a birthday gift full of sincerity...
Chapter 392 Uchiha Power
The sun is already in the west, and the birthday ceremony will also enter the most solemn part of the dinner.
Shredded chicken soup with bird's nest, stewed pork tendon with sea cucumber, shredded razor clam and radish soup, shredded pork belly with kelp, stewed pearls with abalone, mussel and shrimp roe soup, shark fin and crab soup, stewed chicken with mushrooms, potter's wheel hammer, stewed ham with fish maw, shark skin chicken Juice soup, blood powder soup, stewed bear paw with crucian carp tongue, orangutan lip with rice grains, pig brain, fake leopard fetus, steamed hump, pear slices mixed with steamed civet, steamed deer tail...
The Man-Han Banquet is a popular saying in the world, but at the dinner banquet hosted by the Empress Dowager Cixi for envoys from various countries and important ministers in the court, all kinds of delicacies are absolutely dazzling.
At least A Liguo, as a British, looks down on my Daqing in every possible way, but in terms of food, A Liguo, who has been in China for more than ten years, has already been conquered.
He looked up to the west, hating why the sun didn't set down quickly.
However, at this moment, he suddenly discovered that in the red sun in the distance, there seemed to be a small black spot that was slowly getting bigger.
……
an hour ago.
Xiangshan, Hongye military base.
In a mountain depression that Yang Liu bought with 300 taels of silver, a huge monster is gradually being assembled.
Daming's first real air operation is about to begin.
Due to the high consumption of culture points and the inability to carry out remote operations without satellite guidance, the application range of Daming's drone squad is very limited, let alone a real air force.
More often than not, drones are just surprise soldiers used to make up for the lack of naval attack power.
A long time ago, Zhu Fugui provided funds to have [GHS] and relevant departments of the Imperial College jointly develop a manned aircraft.
Of course, it is said that it is research and development, but it is just a groping along the glorious road guided by His Majesty Zhu Fugui. After all, all theories are ready-made, and it is just how to realize independent construction.
The reason why it needs to be manufactured independently is because the manned aircraft is really a gold-swallowing monster.
The so-called manned aircraft and things with low practical value such as hot air balloons are excluded.
What is placed in front of Daming is nothing more than two technical routes of airships and airplanes.
At most count a helicopter.
The experience of later generations proves that the airship is obviously the wrong way, and the airplane is the kingly way.
But, wrong way is also way, Zhu Fugui is a person who is good at compromise.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have become good friends of Yidali, Hardness and Principal Chang.
……
Private jets have always been sensitive commodities in China, and with high technical content, a Beihang Bee worth 20 yuan has a cultural penalty factor of 100, which is simply not something Zhu Fugui can afford.
From the perspective of independent research and development, making an airship is much simpler than making an airplane.
The [Royal Aircraft Factory] in New Caofeidian has worked hard for more than half a year, and so far has not successfully tested a single aircraft.
But a few engineers messed around in their spare time, and they came up with the [Uchiha Power] airship.
The reason why it is so simple is that they don't need to worry about the buoyant gas with the highest technical content in the airship. They only need to make a reliable skin bag and cabin.
In this era, European countries already had airships. As early as 1850, the French tested a steam-powered airship outside Paris.
However, the operational performance of the airship is still relatively poor.
According to the original history, after Nasan was captured by the Prussians, the Prussian army surrounded Paris, and Gambetta, the actual leader of the Third Republic, chose to escape from the city of Paris by hot air balloon instead of using an airship.
Until World War I, airships were an important strategic force, conducting military operations such as anti-submarine patrols, long-range bombing and airlift.
In 1937, the "Hindenburg" caused a hydrogen explosion due to static sparks when it landed, killing 35 people, marking that the airship completely gave way to the aircraft.
It wasn't until the 1970s that safe, non-flammable helium became cheap, and airships ushered in a second spring, but they could no longer compete with jet aircraft.
What else is there to say?
Daming's airship naturally started with helium.
It is quite cheap to buy helium from the platform alone. A helium together with a small cylinder costs only a few hundred dollars. It is easy to carry and safe, and the cultural penalty value is not high.
At this time, Yang Liu and the others are working hard to inflate.
Among the crowd, a woman wearing goggles was particularly eye-catching.
This woman has a sweet appearance and a tall figure, but no one dares to look at her more.
Because this woman named Beichuan Jingzi came from Fugui Palace in Fengdu.
Although there is no status, but the woman who walks out of the rich palace, everyone agrees that she is the woman of Long Live God.
It's treason to take a second look.
……
Ever since His Majesty Nasan moved into Wuguo City, Maori Jingqin has developed a hobby, carrying the birdcage to find Nasan to play chess every day.
This is the happiest time for him, the Great Ming Shaobao, every day.
Maori Jingqin has now become the Shaobao of the Ming Dynasty and the head of the state, and his status has become more and more noble, but he really has nothing to do except go to the primary school attached to the Imperial College to teach.
Originally the master of the first class, managing millions of people, but now he is reduced to a primary school teacher because he failed the intermediate teacher certificate examination. One can imagine the distress in Mao Lisang's heart.
So he can only find a guy who is a hundred times more miserable than himself to have fun.
Maori-san was already like this, and the ninja Kitagawa Keiko who he placed in the Fugui Palace back then naturally made it public anyway.
As Zhu Fugui's representative, she joined Jinyiwei and became a female agent.
It's a pity that Beichuan can't use her beauty, so the female agent's advantages can't be fully utilized.
However, the agility and dexterity of the ninja are still very useful, and the light weight is more suitable for this task.
Because it departed from Xiangshan, this operation not only needed the help of the dark sky, but also needed to use a smaller airship, which was not easy to be spotted when it took off.
Airships are different from airplanes in that airships stay in the air for a very long time and save fuel, but because of their fixed buoyancy, their loads are relatively limited.
[Uchiha Power] is 48 meters long, with a maximum diameter of 10.5 meters, an airbag volume of 2753 cubic meters, and a maximum load of 750 kilograms.
If it is Beichuan, it can hold 17 pieces, while for Lao Li, it can only hold 5 pieces.
Of course, in addition to carrying people, there are also many gifts for celebrating birthdays in the pod, so Beichuan is the best candidate for flying.
In terms of power, the airship is equipped with two 2-horsepower engines, with a cruising speed of 40 kilometers per hour, a maximum speed of 38 kilometers per hour, and a maximum height of 55 meters.
In terms of cruise, the airship has a maximum fuel capacity of 280 kilograms and a range of 730 kilometers. It can fly all the way from Xiangshan to North Korea.
Speaking of North Korea, Zhu Fugui also learned from North Korea, to be precise, South Korea, that he was inspired to throw birthday gifts with balloons.
Balloon propaganda has always been a common tactic of South Korea.
Chapter 393 What is down-to-earth?This is down to earth!
As early as during the period of resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea, the Americans once dropped leaflets on our volunteer soldiers.
But what is ridiculous is that Americans judge others by themselves, and printed on the leaflets are "Think about your family more, you are working hard on the front line, and your wife may steal people in the rear" and so on.
Not to mention that it is an Anza tradition to steal people from behind the front line, but the thin-waisted and long-legged cheongsam lady pictured in this brochure is outrageous.
Volunteer soldiers who were born in poverty and full of revolutionary enthusiasm must have the expression of the old man on the bus looking at his mobile phone.jpg when he saw these "landlord wives".
Therefore, to do a publicity war, down-to-earth is the first priority.
Zhu Fugui's birthday gift for Ms. Xingzhen is very down-to-earth.
What kind of gift is a good gift?
First of all, this gift has to be a lot.
Let's celebrate together, what if there are not many?
That said, the thing has to be light in weight.
Secondly, in order to be welcomed by the general public, it is best to narrow the distance between our Qing Dynasty and ordinary people.
Zhu Fugui, as Ms. Xingzhen's long-time best friend, how could she not consider the stability of the Qing people's hearts?
