Maozi's simple and rough thinking almost made Garian unable to turn around, he opened his mouth, and after thinking about it, he quickly explained, "Ah, no, it's not like that, the reason why I carry a gun with me is because of the recent anti-Catholic movement in Paris, I saved my life, otherwise I don't know if I would ...... one day"

"I've heard that."

Mendeleev pushed aside the manuscript of the calculus, and he said slowly, "I heard that His Excellency Garion is the initiator, right?" The matter is so big that even I, a person who has temporarily settled in Paris, knows that you have single-handedly provoked a war of public opinion with the Church, but fortunately this is France, and this kind of thing is in our Tsarist Russia, if the Orthodox Church knows about it, you may not have enough five heads. ”

The outspoken Mendeleev made Zola on the side frown involuntarily, but Garion didn't care at all. At this time, the attendant stepped forward and asked if a few of you could start ordering.

Mendeleev flipped through the recipe, and then closed it again with great dissatisfaction. Pushed to the edge of the table, hung the waiter in the air, and muttered, "Sure enough, the food in Paris is not appetizing, and I said that you French people can't eat a little bit of something that doesn't taste so light and bad?" ”

Garion waved his hand and motioned for the other party to go down first, he sat down in front of Mendeleev and said with a smile, "Yes, but today I am here to discuss a business with His Excellency Mendeleev." ”

"Business?"

Mendeleev put the manuscript paper aside, looked Garion in the eye, and asked rhetorically, "I guess you're talking about asking me to improve the rubber vulcanization technique, right?" ”

Garion's eyes half-narrowed, looked at him in astonishment, and asked, "Huh?" How do you know? ”

"Or else?"

A smile tugged at the corner of Mendeleev's mouth and he said, "Your little caution can't hide from my eyes." Advocate wearing condoms to reduce the risk of syphilis, but at this time, the cost of condoms on the market is too high and unsafe, so you will think of using the latest rubber vulcanization technology to reduce costs and make huge profits from it, am I right? ”

I didn't expect my purpose to be exposed so quickly. Garion also got straight to the point.

"Well, since Mendeleev already knows the purpose of my visit, I will say it bluntly. Because this time we have received financial support from the royal family of Bonaparte, there will be no shortage of funds, and I can assure you of that, and of course, I will pay you accordingly, and you will not be disappointed. ”

"I'm sorry, Lord Garion."

Mendeleev gathered the paper on the table and stuffed it into his briefcase, he stood up and said in a serious voice, "You may be mistaken. My ambition is not to do this, and I have no interest in you to improve safety and reduce the spread of syphilis in Paris. I'm only interested in chemistry, so let's end this meeting. ”

Mendeleev didn't care about the money provided by Garion or the supposed improvement of the health of the citizens of Paris, and in his eyes, only historical discoveries were enough to arouse interest.

After speaking, he also said to Turgenev, who was standing aside, in Russian, "Your Excellency Turgenev, I hope you don't let me participate in this kind of dinner next time, I am not interested." ”

"Wait a minute."

Just as Mendeleev was about to get up and leave, Garion suddenly spoke up and stopped him.

However, the other party didn't look back, just said impatiently, "Didn't I understand what I just said enough?" There's nothing more to talk to you, Lord Garion. I'm not interested in what you're talking about. ”

Garion hurriedly said, "Wait, Mr. Mendeleev, I know you're not interested in what I'm talking about. But what I'm going to say next, you might be interested in? ”

Mendeleev casually asked, "What is it?" ”

"What if I said that if I put the 61 elements that are now known in increasing order of atomic weight, I would find that every seven elements appear with similar properties, like the scale in music, like an octatonic rhythm?"

Before Mendeleev discovered the law of the chemical cycle of the elements, it was discovered in 1865, but it was not taken seriously by the world at that time. Coincidentally, the Nobel Prize Committee had intended to award the 1906 Chemistry Prize to Mendeleev, but one of the members of the committee eventually kicked Mendeleev off the list, after which the great chemist died in 1907, never to win the Nobel Prize.

Mendeleev was about to open his mouth to laugh at Garion, when suddenly a thought flashed through his mind, like some difficult question that he had been searching for before, and he got the answer in an instant.

He took the step he had taken and turned his head with a puzzled expression. He asked in a deep voice, "What do you want to express?" ”

Mendeleev looked wistful, and Garion saw that his Newlands octafty attracted Mendeleev's interest, so he boldly expressed his thoughts.

"Make a deal, if you are willing to cooperate with us to improve the rubber vulcanization technology, I am very willing to tell you that this discovery is enough to make you famous in the chemical world, remember my words, enough to make a name in the chemical world."

"Wait......"

At this time, Garion became emboldened, he refused Mendeleev's questioning, and replied lightly, "You don't have to rush to answer anything, you can verify it first." If you're willing to work with me, I have a table that I can provide you with that you can verify when the time comes. Trust me, this is your only chance to go down in history. ”

Mendeleev was a little moved, he turned his head, looked at the young man in front of him, and asked hesitantly, "Wait a minute, you still know chemistry?" ”

Zola and Turgenev, who were on the side, also showed the same puzzled looks, but the situation at the dinner table was tense, and they didn't dare to speak casually.

Garion shook his head mysteriously and said, "As long as you're willing to work with me, I'll make you a famous figure in history, how about it?" ”
