Chapter 62: Love Stack
There were two heads of state in trouble, one was the Earl of Aberdeen, the prime minister of the British Empire, and the other was King Mesmilan II of Bavaria. The Earl of Aberdeen was ready to order the government representative of the British Telegraph Company to compromise with Downing and return the position of president to the founder of BT, but a violent public opinion hit like a hurricane, and the hesitant Earl of Aberdeen trembled again.
Maxmilan II was in a state of confusion, and the development of science had reached the extreme, and there was no place for God, right? Is that right? The song of the scientist who sang the elegy that day still rings in my ears. The king, who has always been fond of scientists, can't help but think deeply and hesitate.
The genius little duke fell into a myth, and read the article "The Earl of Cambridge killed God, I was at the scene of the crime at the time" over and over again, knowing that there was a terrible and fierce contest between the great scientists and the religious forces, and it was a good thing to let my sister marry into the earl's family and stand on the cusp of the storm? It's hard to say, at least the enthusiasm for the Earl of Cambridge is about to cool down, so for the first time, the little duke refused Downing's invitation, and he and his sister needed time to calm down.
To be honest, even Downing regretted a little that he should marry the Duchess home and then publish this shocking theory, and now ...... Alas, leave it to fate, the countess didn't get it, and the duchess's affairs may be yellow again, it's really hard.
The employees in Zurich asked the big boss to come over for guidance, but Downing was still reluctant to give Princess Sissi, and these days he was discussing with Liebig about agriculture and how to solve the problem of pests and diseases.
The most difficult thing about insect pests is that the eggs they lay will be buried deep in the ground, and when the next spring flowers bloom and everything is renewed, the pests will also come out to harm the world, and they can not only harm the crops themselves, but also spread diseases through saliva and feces, what to do?
The first brother in the biological science community is really extraordinary, and he has proposed a plan to eradicate all pests: greenhouse soilless hydroponics. Liebig already knew that plants do not need soil to grow, they only play a role in supporting the body of plants, and the nutrients that plants can absorb are not soil, but water in the soil and minerals in water, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. Still, he was taken aback by the fact that the planting scheme did not require soil at all.
Downing explained the benefits of pure hydroponics, not only to prevent insects, but also to quantify the nutrient solution, which helps to prepare the most suitable nutrient solution for crop growth, and the artificial support is more controllable, which can arrange crops in a very small space, and it is estimated that the density can be increased several times, even if it is 5 times, and then the greenhouse effect can make the barren winter become the eternal spring and summer in the greenhouse vegetable shed, which is already 10 times the yield. Don't worry, there's more. Because the nutrient solution can be replaced, it can avoid the acidification and alkalinization of the soil, that is, there is no need for crop rotation, and the yield is increased by two times again, and the total sum can theoretically reach 20 times that of traditional cultivation.
Lieutenant was instantly convinced.
The greenhouse is a relatively mature process, which is widely used in the Royal Botanic Gardens, the Crystal Palace at the International Industrial Exposition, the crystal factory of British Steel, and the crystal dockyard under construction are all greenhouses. Munich also has a well-established greenhouse industry chain and does not need to be imported from the UK.
Crop supports in place of soil can be made of sponge material, which can be produced by foaming from cheap wood fibers, and can be mass-produced after process experiments, and can be made using natural sponge animals in the experimental stage. Hydroponics does not mean that crops are soaked in water, plants still need air to breathe, and the strong water absorption of sponges can ensure that crops have air and water, no need for irrigation, and no need to give air.
When it comes to air, it should be emphasized that the greenhouse must be large enough, otherwise the internal circulation of air cannot be established, and the ecosystem will have problems, so it is called a greenhouse, not a small greenhouse.
Of course, the greenhouse is expensive, which is difficult to help the big tyrant scientists, Tang Ning purchased a large field in the suburbs, used to build greenhouses, the area is so large that Li Bixi, who knows that the local tyrant is rich, feels worried, in case the experiment fails......
He was in charge of the planning of the greenhouse and the supports, Liebig took the students to hum and hum with all kinds of nutrient solutions, Downing saw that they were doing very well, so there was no need to interfere, he had to go to Zurich, there were many things waiting for him to guide, and now he was a cunning rabbit three caves, a cave in London, a cave in Zurich, and a cave in Munich. Spending too much time in Munich is also too long.
Downing told Duke Theodore that he was going to Zurich, and the duke hesitated and finally told his sister.
Tang Ning was reluctant to Princess Sissi, and Sissi was reluctant to him, that was a private lifelong lover who had held hands, she didn't care if God died or not, she only knew that she was very happy with him, and he was gone...... Princess Sissi begged her brother to take her to visit the Earls of Cambridge.
Princess Sissi has never been alone with Tang Ning, this time, the little duke is very well-behaved, and after sending his sister to the Earl's Palace, he slipped away, so that the little couple had the opportunity to be alone, which is really a good child.
Tang Ning asked about the situation first: "Sissi, is your sister's marriage to the Austrian emperor eyebrows?" ”
Princess Sissi: "Oh, they're engaged, but ...... My sister was a little scared, she said, the Habsburgs have strict rules, and the Queen Mother is very fierce. Poor sister. ”
The Habsburgs were the royal family of Austria, and now the dominant power of the entire German Confederation, temporarily more influential than Prussia, and were previously the royal family of the Holy Roman Empire. The Holy Roman Empire, known as the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation, once ruled over the entire German region. The empire was centered around the German region, including some surrounding areas, including the Kingdom of Italy and the Kingdom of Burgundy at its peak. For most of the empire's history, it consisted of hundreds of smaller subordinate units, among which were marquis, principalities, counties, imperial free cities, and other regions. The early days of the Holy Roman Empire were feudal monarchies ruled by emperors with real power, and in the Middle Ages evolved into political associations of principalities, princely states, religious aristocratic domains, and imperial free cities that recognized the emperor as the supreme authority.
The Habsburgs and the Kingdom of Prussia were the two competing powers for the unification of Germany. Historically, the Habsburgs were one of the most prominent royal families. He served as Duke of Austria (1282-1453), Grand Duke (1453-1804), Emperor of Austria (1804-1918), King of Hungary (1526-1918), King of Bohemia (1526-1918), King of Spain (1516-1700), King of Portugal (1580-1640), and several kingdoms in France, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium and the Southern Slavic regions. Kings, Grand Dukes and Dukes of the Duchy.
Such a royal family with a long history naturally has big rules.
Downing: "That's what it costs to be a queen." If you marry me, it will be easy, I will wait until you are 25 years old before thinking about having children, there are 10 years, you can go wherever you want to play, I will accompany you crazy as you want, okay? ”
Is this a marriage proposal? How can you say it so lightly, it's not serious at all! Sissi didn't know how to answer him, but he didn't look embarrassed at all, and continued to flicker: "Travel around the world and see the beautiful scenery of the world." Colorful North America, boundless grasslands and primeval forests of South America, icy Northern Europe, desert Australia, gods and gods of India, ancient and magical China, small and delicate Japan......"
Sissi Gege smiled: "Isn't that crazier than my dad?" My dad was called 'Mad Max', you know? ”
Tang Ning: "Then you should be a big madman Sissi, marrying the devil's ambassador apprentice Tang Tang is a natural pair." ”
Princess Sissi is also looking forward to a happy future, but she is a little worried: "You are the devil's ambassador, my dad is fine, he doesn't care, my mother ...... I don't know if she will agree. ”
Tang Ning patted his chest and promised: "Your brother supports us, your mother is good to say, your sister is married to a powerful emperor, and you marry a rich tyrant, what a perfect marriage this is, I can't think of anything that Princess Ludovica disagrees with, I will go to Zurich first to solve some factory matters, and then when I come back, your mother should also come back from Vienna, and I will propose to her again." My dear, I have to go to Zurich, I can't bear it......"
Princess Sisi had already agreed to his proposal with the tenderness of Qiu Boli, and it seemed that Princess Ludovica was their only obstacle, and Tang Ning met her soft wave and gently took her into his arms, so as to warm her up first.
After hugging for a while, Sissi suddenly got up from Tang Ning's arms and exclaimed, "Your German! It's great, I just didn't realize that you haven't spoken French, it's so powerful...... Learn so fast! ”
