It turns out that this 'big joy' is not a marriage, but someone has made a thing!

What is this thing?

"Your Majesty, please see!"

I saw that Lin Xiaoyi took out a metal ball from his arms, this is ......

"Aluminum?" Li Mengyang knew what this was at a glance, it was obviously aluminum, aluminum......

"Oops! 陛xià! You're really well-informed! Even this thing knows, and! Your Majesty, Weichen admires it so much! When you see such a thing, you are still so calm, so calm, it is simply an example for the world! ”

"Ahem......" Li Mengyang's praised old face was slightly red.

Why did Lin Xiaoyi speak like this? Could it be that this guy has become a sycophant now?

No, Li Mengyang quickly knew that his watch just now was a bit too pretending!

Yes, it's because I'm too calm, and what Lin Xiaoyi said is not bad at all, seeing aluminum, such a large piece of aluminum can still be so calm, it is definitely an example for the world, that's not wrong at all!

Do you know how much aluminum is a pound now?

The historical story is that when Napoleon III dined, he used aluminum plates, while everyone else used silver plates, which shows that Napoleon III was a guy who liked to show off, in fact......

Where was Napoleon III to show off?

This guy is clearly pretending to be X! And it's still loaded with a big X!

At this time, that is, in the 60s of the 19th century, the value of a kilogram of aluminum was, three thousand gold francs!

The gold franc, which is now the currency of France, is understandable to most people. But what is the purchasing power of this one franc?

A franc inside. It contains nearly one gram of gold!

That's right, that is. One kilogram of aluminum is now almost equal to three kilograms of gold!

So, what a thing to eat with aluminum tableware?

Li Mengyang knew that this thing was very expensive at this time, at least more expensive than silver, but what he didn't know was that aluminum was so fucking expensive now, it was twice as expensive as gold!

in the history books. Generally speaking, it is just that aluminum at this time is very expensive, but it is really not written so finely, to be honest, textbooks are sometimes really tricky, if the textbooks write this place in detail, then there is no need to talk about it, we will definitely denounce Napoleon III as not a thing, this historical view of the class struggle is naturally formed.

But though, it's aluminum after all. In the eyes of a modern person like Li Mengyang, this thing is simply too common. Therefore, it was really difficult for him to make any surprised expressions, so his old face was slightly red.

"Who made this?" Li Mengyang doesn't care about blushing for a while, you know, why is aluminum expensive?

How simple it is, because in this era, it's not easy to get this thing, so now you Lin Xiaoyi took such a large piece of aluminum, this ...... Anyway, Li Mengyang knows that Lin Xiaoyi is not a technical talent, and it is really difficult for him to make this thing.

"Your Majesty sees thousands of miles!" Lin Xiao bowed down and saluted, he really admired His Majesty the Emperor to death in his heart. "The person who made this aluminum, I also brought it today, Your Majesty xià ......"

"See you! Hurry up and bring him here! Without waiting for Lin Xiaoyi to finish speaking, Li Mengyang immediately spoke.

Of course, such talents don't look at it yet?

As a result, it didn't take long for Li Mengyang's emperor's office to have another Chinese!

"Are you Chinese?!" Li Mengyang was really surprised, because from the current point of view, we Chinese, Chinese have made scientific and technological achievements, which is really too few except for his Li Mengyang's abstract masterpieces!

This matter, it is not that Li Mengyang looks down on his compatriots, he definitely does not have this mind, but he knows that his compatriots are absolutely very excellent in IQ, no need to say anything black Indians, we Chinese are better than those whites!

But at this time, in the middle of the 19th century, we Chinese were really too backward in science, and it can even be said that we were very ignorant!

Although this is not good, but the reality is like this, Li Mengyang will not be the kind of person who hides illness and avoids medical treatment, as for the reason, then Li Mengyang also knows that it is the foolish policy of feudal imperial power, coupled with the seclusion of the country and no communication, so what progress can there be?

Therefore, he vigorously developed the cause of education, in fact, mainly for his compatriots.

But I didn't think that this education cause would bear fruit so quickly?

yes, aluminum is so difficult to handle, and it's so expensive, what does this mean?

It shows that there is nothing good for white people to do now!

You know, at this time, the world science is really dominated by the white side, although this fact is a little bit of a mess for us Chinese, but this is the case, Li Mengyang is not shy about it.

So, now that aluminum is so expensive, if it can be smelted in large quantities, isn't it a huge benefit? Would white people be stupid enough not to get it?

So, just one explanation, that is, white people can't handle this thing, and they don't know how to make this aluminum.

Li Mengyang...... Hey, liberal arts student, he doesn't know how to fix this thing!

At this time, the new Chinese who came in could be regarded as seeing the great Majesty, and his nervousness had passed a little, and he thought that His Majesty seemed to have asked himself before, so he became bolder.

"Returning to Your Majesty! Wechen is Chinese. ”

The person in front of him is not very old, that is, he is in his thirties, but he seems to be very shrewd and his eyes are quite lively, but this is the reply......

"Oh, what's your name? How did you come up with this aluminum? Li Mengyang was a little anxious.

"Hui Yu Xi à ......" the way this person spoke......

"Heck, you don't have to bring this every time, you just have to talk normally." Li Mengyang is in a hurry.

"Hui Yu ......" This guy laughed himself, but it can also be seen that he is a more cautious person, but fortunately, he adjusted it, "Your Majesty, Weichen's name is Lu Kun, and he is now working as an errand at the No. 1 Power Station in San Francisco. ”

The first power station, right. That's what the dam did. In fact. It's a very small project. There is a lake to the east of San Francisco, and it is not big, so you can find a place downstream to build a barrage and power generation equipment, or you can come first.

You know, this is actually not easy, although Li Mengyang is not a science student, but he knows how much. At the beginning, electricity was direct current, power stations or something, which came out relatively late, and it seems to have something to do with Tesla, which is particularly famous in China, and of course, it has something to do with Edison...... Hey, I think of this ungrateful guy again!

However, Li Mengyang didn't like this Lu Kun's way of speaking too much, with too strong a taste of Manchu officialdom. So, Li Mengyang said: "You are in front of me." You don't need to be so careful, really. You'll find out later, so tell me how you came up with it? ”

"Okay, okay." That Lu Kun was quite happy, it seemed that this Majesty was really a good person, just heard him say: "Your Majesty, Weichen actually doesn't know these sciences very well. Anyway, this thing came out, and the Minister of Science, Mr. Thomson, was very happy, and he said that it was a major event in the history of science. But Wechen is not a scientist, it's just that Wechen likes stones......"

Huh? What's going on? How did you get to the stone?

It turns out that this is really interesting.

This Lu Kun, he likes strange stones, you know, this hobby is normal in our China. Then there is Song Huizong from a distance, and the birthday gang or something. But however, this hobby is also very expensive, and as a result, when Lu Kun was in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, his life could not go on.

Also, over the years, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was not beaten by the outside powers, and then it was also engaged in the economy, in fact, it was mainly an economic loss, and then it also made trouble in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, do you say that Lu Kun can still play strange stones?

I can't live anymore!

So, Lu Kun ran out and went to the New Tang Empire in the United States. Anyway, this place is also a country for our Chinese, very good, this is it.

came, then you have to follow along, at the beginning, the empire didn't engage in large-scale steel smelting, Lu Kun was a bit of a culture, so he became a small leader. It's been a good day, and he's found a chance to regain his hobby.

Steelmaking and ironmaking, then you have to deal with ores, so, once, Lu Kun found a kind of stone that looks like salt crystals, not crystals, less transparent than crystals, but also very strong, anyway, much stronger than salt crystals.

So, Lu Kun naturally collected this thing, which was not a trivial matter.

But later, Lu Kun was transferred to the power station, after all, the work of this power station is much more demanding than steelmaking, so culture is indispensable, and Lu Kun's previous table is not bad, just go to the power station to be a small leader.

This is also very good, the salary is a little more, anyway, Lu Kun is very content, but there is a day......

It was a special coincidence that when the stone he collected was taken out for fun, the collector knew that he accidentally fell into a transmission equipment, which almost shut down the entire power station at that time!

This was originally a safety production accident, and this road Kun is about to end, but I didn't expect that the stone to change!

There is a metal that has surfaced on the surface of the stone, and that metal is aluminum!

“…… Master Thomson said that the stone I found was actually cryolite, a kind of ore......"

The story is here, although it is not finished, there are still a lot of adventures in how to find this aluminum, but Li Mengyang has already understood it, this feeling is electrolytic aluminum, right?

Although he is a liberal arts student, this word is always heard by a modern person, and Li Mengyang said that he understands it all.

Why is aluminum so precious in this era?

It's so easy! There's no electricity!

That's right, now it seems that the only person in the world who promotes electricity is our American Empire!

Isn't it ...... that aluminum is so expensive?

Another mountain of gold?! (To be continued......)
