Vienna, Schönbrunn Palace.

The brothers Albrecht and Friedrich did not seem to be in high spirits, and drank without saying a word.

In fact, Franz was also very unhappy, although the protection of legislation could reduce the slave trade to a certain extent, but the punishment was too light.

The accomplices were each 10,000 florins, and the main culprits were 50,000 florins each, and the real masterminds were at large.

The Austrian Empire confiscated a total of 5.9 million florins from Hungarian traffickers, and the money was to be handed over to the Hungarian government for the relief of victims and victims.

Hungarian Parliament Speaker Bilal was forced to resign, along with nearly 100 officials involved, while removing 17 Hungarian officials who were directly involved.

The Austrian Empire was to send officials to Hungary to oversee disaster relief and bereavement efforts.

Archduke Karl did not make a big fuss in Hungary, as everyone expected, but only went through the motions in Budapest.

When he returned, he taught Albrecht and Friedrich a lesson and reprimanded them for fooling around.

With the resignation of a large number of Hungarian officials, the entire region was plunged into chaos, with a large number of horse bandits appearing in the area, and even the royal estates were attacked.

Franz was sure that the attacks were organized and purposeful, and that ordinary bandits simply did not dare to attack the royal estate. It was not easy to hide in the Hungarian plain, but their nonsense actually helped Franz.

Franz had always wanted to bring weapons into Hungary, and this time there was a good reason.

Now all parties are not satisfied with this result, so there must be people who can't hold their breath.

"I have a new dessert here, almond tofu, would you like to try it?"

Albrecht was not interested in eating, but Friedrich could think of it, and since it was fruitless, it was better to do something else, and he happened to be hungry and said.

"What is tofu? You can still get almonds this season, and you're really good. Friedrich said.

At this time, the preservation and storage technology was very poor, and even the emperor could only taste the almonds during the ripening season.

That's why there is the famous sentence "I want to eat dumplings!" ”

However, preserving almonds was too simple for Franz, and making tofu took a lot of effort for Franz.

"Thank you for the compliment, Uncle Friedrich. I have one more gift for you. ”

With that, Franz handed Friedrich a drawing, which he looked at for a long time.

"Isn't this a steam engine? But that's too high, right? It wasn't something that some scientist did when he was drunk! "Friedrich had been immersed in military technology for many years, and he did not think that there was a power machine that he did not know.

"This is called a steam turbine, and it is much more efficient than the current reciprocating steam engine, and it is normal for you to not understand it. Now the best steam engine thermal efficiency is only 8%, and this guy's thermal efficiency can easily exceed 40%. ”

Even if the higher level of reciprocating steam invented in the future cannot exceed 20%, the maximum efficiency of the steam turbine is completely different, with the steam turbine, the maximum efficiency can go straight to 80%, until today, the United States aircraft carriers still use this thing to drive, which shows its powerful driving force.

What's more, the steam turbine has countless advantages such as simple structure, small footprint, lighter, quieter, low manufacturing cost, long service life, low failure rate, easy maintenance, etc.

Historically, the appearance of steam turbines killed reciprocating steam engines almost instantly, but now there is a problem, that is, there is a shortage of rubber, and Mr. Doppler tried to replace it with eucommia glue, but due to problems with airtightness, there was a violent explosion, which directly led to the suspension of classes at the Royal Women's College in Vienna for a month.

The entire laboratory was swept off the spot, fortunately there were no casualties, but it brought great damage to the reputation of the academy, and many aristocratic families refused to send their children back to school, preferring to ask the teachers of the Holy See to teach rather than let their children stay in this dangerous place for even a minute longer.

At the same time, a large number of aristocratic families who could not afford the dowry sent their children over, and in the end the number of students in the academy increased.

The enrollment of the Royal Women's College in Vienna is not going well, there are no students in the high school and the university department at present, most of the students who come to class are little Lori, and they are generally pampered, and this place is more like a kindergarten than the college.

In the middle school, there is a group of young women, who are often the victims of nothing after marriage, or who are victims of unhappy marriages, and the best word to describe it is the exchange center for resentful women, and they have been told all over the country by the parents of Vienna.

In addition to the two compulsory courses of mathematics and German, housework and communication courses have become more popular, literature and theology have also been enrolled, while history and law courses are crowded, and physics and chemistry are not studied at all.

That's why Doppler and a group of physicists had time to conduct experiments, and for this time the steam turbine, all the participants understood that it would be a cross-generational invention, and at the same time felt a very serious sense of frustration.

Archduke Franz was just 9 years old, yet his vision and wisdom seemed to surpass all the geniuses present.

“40%?” Friedrich looked a little incredulous.

"Yes, with this guy, your battleship can easily break through thirty knots, and then the British and French warships will only be able to follow you and eat ashes."

"There is no ash in the sea." Talia whispered.

"Elbow out, huh? It's really a female university, what is the matter with you, the principal, following me all day long? ”

Franz pinched Talia's buttocks, and the latter could only straighten up and endure it. After all, there were other members of the royal family present, and if Talia knocked out Franz's hand as usual, it would cause unnecessary trouble.

Adjani saw that Friedrich's eyes were wrong, and coughed twice to remind Franz.

Franz then turned his head and saw Friedrich staring at him angrily.

"You dead kid, you're a terrible thing!"

Franz could only smile awkwardly, not knowing if he was referring to the steam turbine or Talia.

"It's still experimental, and I'll hand it over to you when it's stable. This would surely become the secret weapon of the Imperial Austrian Navy. ”

Friedrich was angry and didn't want to speak, but was knocked on the head by Albrecht.

"Be polite and remember who you are."

The line of Archduke Karl can only be regarded as a collateral line at this time, and it is not surprising that Franz will inherit the position of patriarch in the future, so whether it is as a courtier of the Austrian Empire or a member of the family, they should maintain respect for the future monarch.

The 185-centimeter Grand Duke Albrecht had a strong sense of oppression against the 158-centimeter Grand Duke Friedrich, who could only bow his head and admit his mistakes.

"Uncle Albrecht, you don't have to worry. Sooner or later, those Hungarians will lose their breath. When the time comes, I'll find a way for you to make a breath out of it yourself. ”
