Chapter 188: Have you ever heard of windmills?
At this moment, the crimson full moon has just risen, and the light of the gas lamp is jumping, reflecting the relaxed atmosphere in the room.
At this time, perhaps Mr. Carmen had died of a heart attack somewhere.
"Mr. Lewis, York's letter to you."
Miss Elana lowered her head, her tail wagging constantly, and presented the letter with both hands.
Lewis took the letter and opened it.
"Mr. Lewis:
The magic potion you mentioned may be the one I took, this potion belongs to the bedding of the nobles, and it only needs to be mixed with some wine to become a brave man in bed.
It's just that when I became a transcendent being, I realized that the side effects of these drugs were far more terrible than I imagined.
Once you stop taking it, your body will gradually lose control, and the feeling of emptiness and longing for depravity at night is enough to drive a person crazy.
Only by continuing to take it can it temporarily maintain normal, but the invasion of desire will become more and more violent each time, and as long as it is contaminated once, it can never be completely shaken off. ”
As scary as it sounds like a drug, that's the pollution of the Mother Tree of Desire......
Lewis burned the letter, and he picked up his pen, intending to ask where York had bought the potion.
The only thing that made him strange was that the Orthodox Church didn't take action against these potions, and Bonova's reaction was cold and frightening.
The only answer he could think of was what the Orthodox Church was afraid of.
……
In the morning, as the sun shone in through the glass windows, Lewis tidied up, put on a half-height silk top hat, and headed downstairs for today's breakfast.
"Mr. Lewis, it's a pleasure to see you." Mrs. Slunt greeted Lewis, her eyes clear and bright.
"I'm also glad to see you and Miss Stephanie, beautiful Ms. Snent." Lewis took off his top hat and threw it on the coat rack at the entrance.
How do I tell how the wine is made so that it looks natural? Can't get Mrs. Slant disgusted yet?
Lewis munched on his breakfast, and as a true aristocrat, he couldn't talk casually during the meal, which would damage his image.
"Mrs. Slent, I have spoken to Mr. Lyle about wine-making, and I know a great deal of secrets, which may be of help to you." After eating, he suddenly reminded him.
Mrs. Slant smiled and said happily, "This is very good, and if you can make a satisfactory wine, I will give you a satisfactory price." ”
Lewis put down his knife and fork and smiled:
"I need to sort out my thoughts, and when I come back at noon, I will solemnly discuss this matter with you."
"Mom, I want to be with Mr. Lewis." Stephanie said as she cut the food in front of her into small pieces and ate it quickly and elegantly.
Mrs. Slant naturally had no reason to refuse, and Stephanie and Lewis got into a rented carriage and went to the University of Intes.
"Mr. Lewis, how did you learn about winemaking?" Stephanie asked curiously, knowing that Lewis didn't know her father, Lyle.
Lewis smiled faintly, "I have tasted the wines of Mrs. Slant and Mr. Lyle, and I only need to use my dream divination to get help from the spirit world and know everything about the winemaking process. ”
Stephanie's eyes widened and she was surprised:
"Your abilities are amazing, even more desirable than the abilities of the Gray Wolf."
"I can only say that everyone has their own strengths, and I'm not good at fighting." Lewis spread his hands.
Seeing that the carriage was coming to the street, he poked his head out of the window and said to the newspaper boy, "A copy of the Intis morning newspaper." ”
The boy brought the newspaper, and Lewis pulled out a penny coin and read it carefully.
Rummaging through the corners of the newspaper, Lewis came across the news that Mr. Carmen had died at home, the cause of death was a heart disease.
"He could have been a good guy."
Lewis sighed, after Mr. Carmen's death, if Mrs. Slant could not make a wine that would have been praised by the aristocracy, then the Slant estate would have gone bankrupt.
He didn't tell Stephanie the news immediately, believing that by the afternoon, Stephanie would naturally know.
"Mr. Lewis, the University of Intis has arrived." The coachman stopped the carriage and said to Lewis.
"I see." Lewis got out of the carriage and took Stephanie with him to Professor Esther's lab.
Pushing open the door, Professor Esther, with his hair in disarray, was burying himself in front of a pile of manuscript papers, with the instrument he had made for experiments with electromagnetic induction phenomena behind him.
"Mr. Lewis, I have verified it, and your conclusions are completely correct."
Aster looked at Lewis with burning eyes and asked: "However, how to make the electric motor is still a problem, if the steam engine is used to generate electricity, the electric energy will rely on the steam engine to exist, and it will not be popularized on a large scale, and the application of electricity will be limited." ”
Lewis smiled indifferently and asked, "Have you heard of windmills?" The kind of thing that can turn when the wind blows, it can drive the coil to do the cutting magnetic inductance line movement. ”
As he spoke, Lewis had made the windmill out of Esther's blank manuscript paper, and with a blow of his mouth, the windmill spun merrily.
Esther's eyes lit up, and he snatched the windmill from Lewis's hand, and muttered:
"Genius design, Mr. Lewis, you should have thought of using a windmill to generate electricity, what a genius idea, I would like to apply to have this deed written in the teachings."
This is good news, and one day, when believers in the god of steam and machines open their teachings, they will find that a large part of the text is devoted to Lewis.
Although he thought a lot in his heart, Lewis still used the characteristics of the machine to pretend to be calm, and said without shock:
"Mr. Esther, did you find out how many craftsmen and managers you were recruiting?"
Esther put down the windmill in his hand and said in a deep voice, "Wait for me." ”
Esther pulled open a pile of old newspapers to reveal a dusty telegraph, and he rang the telegraph to inform the Church of Steam and the Mechanics.
"Alright."
As soon as Professor Esther's words fell, Lewis felt a creepy gaze fall on the small laboratory, and he couldn't help but press his top hat and bow his head humbly.
"At this moment, I can perceive the will of a hidden being descending here, even more so than Bonova. Gustav is even more terrible. ”
Lewis's heart sank, and he hurriedly made a prayer gesture and whispered, "The god of steam and machinery is above, please bless your followers." ”
As Lewis's voice fell, the will seemed to move away from the place, and the creepy feeling disappeared in an instant.
Lewis let out a long breath, perhaps it was the advent of alternating current that made the god of steam and machines discover the change in the world, and then he appeared to take a look.
