Vienna, Royal Academy of Sciences.

In fact, the aforementioned periodic table caused Franz some extra troubles, although the Austrian scientific community lived up to expectations and added all the elements that had been discovered at this time to it according to the law.

However, due to a slight negligence on his part, Krypton, an element that has not yet been discovered, is also among them.

As a result, there was a wave of controversy in the chemistry community, and curious people gave their opinions on what Kr was.

There were people who didn't know anything about German who thought it was an abbreviation of King and Royal, which meant royalty, but the hapless guy was quickly thrown out of the venue by other scientists.

Although it is not uncommon to shoot royal sycophants, it is not shameful to be so unscrupulous as a scientist.

Then, naturally, the spearhead was pointed again at the initiator - Franz.

Just as he was wondering how to get by, the experts present decided through their brains that it was an element that had not yet been discovered, and that Archduke Franz wanted to give this opportunity to someone else.

"How great, how noble!"

Some people who had received the "favor" of this genius and nobleman could not help but cry bitterly on the spot, took off their eyes and wiped the tears from the corners of their eyes with a handkerchief.

In this way, he escaped for the time being. However, Krypton was actually discovered by W. Ramsay and Travers in England in 1898, and there is still a long way to go to find it decades in advance.

New theories, new ideas and new technologies are constantly emerging in the scene of intense exchanges, which is the best way to evaluate and guide any theory.

And those scientists who are invincible in front of others, and even have the heart to challenge God, will listen to this great debate of scientific truth with the utmost sincerity.

This was certainly not only because Franz might be the future emperor, but also because almost every one of his proposals would be a historic breakthrough in science.

Of course, the church's frenzied campaign also contributed to it, after all, these gods still like to hug their thighs, whether it's a child on the other side or something else.

The eighteenth and nineteenth centuries were a magical age, and it was not uncommon for scientists to believe in religion. It's better to say that you don't believe in religion to make people feel different.

The most outrageous of these is Sir Babbage. After following Franz's advice, he began to study the feasibility of binary and other bases.

But soon she ran into trouble, and although Miss Ada was a talented man with a great talent for mathematics, she was a little less than a real expert.

Babbage and Ada were unable to solve their own problems, so they naturally turned to other mathematicians at the Royal Academy for help.

They want to find the best base, but apparently these mathematicians are not experts in engineering.

After some research, these people came up with a so-called "perfect base" that e is approximately equal to 2.71828

This figure is obviously complete nonsense for mechanical engineers, but after all the fuss of this group of mathematicians, the closest thing to perfection and industrial viability is the ternary, which can only be used as a second solution.

At this time, Babbage's analysis machine still used gears and did not involve electricity, so he quickly decided that in order to get infinitely close to perfection, he should take the route of ternary and abandoned the study of the decimal system.

However, the outrageous was just beginning, and when the church heard that the ternary was the most perfect, all the bishops boiled and knelt down and begged for God's forgiveness.

Because this is inadvertently in line with the Catholic doctrine of the Trinity, which states that there is only one God, but includes the three persons of the Father, the Son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. So, Babbage's analysis machine project, the church voted!

Babbage himself didn't know if he was playing with the gods or if he was really brainwashed, so he actually took Miss Ada and his assistants to openly convert to Catholicism.

Later, after deliberation among the church's higher-ups, Babbage was allowed to wear a white robe and become a theologian.

When the farce reached Franz's ears, he decided to add another fuel to the fire, and that was to ask the prodigy to devise a new instrument that would help the church to count the population of the whole country.

The demographic velocity of the present day is flawed by a very inefficient and slow process, often measured in decades, so we see some of the absurd and outrageous phenomena about the present period.

It was not until decades later, in 1890, that the perforated watchmaking machine was introduced, and this historic problem was overcome. Now Franz is ready to throw that conundrum at Babbage.

After all, if the latter can accomplish this great cause, it will be a good move for the country and the people, and it will also make his name even louder.

In the 19th century, when electricity was still in its infancy, the epoch-making product of computers was still unattainable, so it was the right way to make as reliable and effective computers and statistical instruments as possible.

Of course, it doesn't matter if it fails, after all, it is not uncommon for a single statistic to take ten or eight years.

At the same time, Franz was confronted with the theory of racial superiority, a by-product of the Customs Union and regional economic integration; This is a terrible current of thought.

However, what is even more frightening is that similar arguments were very popular in Vienna at this time, and even succeeded in misleading a considerable number of scientists and celebrities, because they subconsciously had a more or less high self-esteem and thought that they were better than others.

The propagator of this theory was a mediocre captain who had fought in almost no victories, but who did not in any way consider it his responsibility to lead his forces.

Instead, he turned the finger at the Italians and Jews in his own army, especially the latter, who were simply a bunch of vile thieves and filthy robbers.

Anti-Semitism is an old European tradition, and despite the high social status of Jews in Austria, this rhetoric is still very popular.

Some wealthy and powerful Jews were alerted as soon as they heard such remarks, and they had seen many such people for thousands of years, and all they wanted was power and money.

As long as you buy him with power and money, you will be your most loyal lackey.

However, times have changed, and people's minds have changed, and Viscount Barron did not accept bribes.

The Jewish financiers failed to do anything, and they did another. If the soft one doesn't work, the hard one will come, and the death threat will be sent directly to Viscount Barron's home.

But as a poor aristocrat, their family was so poor that Viscount Barron's father even bought a coffin for the whole family overnight in the garden.

After that, instead of restraining his words and deeds, this person intensified. He attributed natural disasters to natural phenomena such as natural disasters, wars, diseases, employment, and even solar and lunar eclipses.

What's even more outrageous is that he also attributed the previous stock market crash to the Jews, although it was a void enemy, but unexpectedly close to the truth.

"It was the Jews who inflated the stock price, and it was the Jews who were the first to sell the stock and cause the stock market to plummet, and they were the murderers of this country.

If it weren't for the royal family giving up their own fiefdoms to save the people, now we lose our property and become slaves to the Jews..."

It is well known that the more radical the maker of such eye-catching rhetoric, the more likely it is to gather a large number of fanatical fans, just as Kossuth, who preached Magyarism, was more popular than Széchenyi, who was a rational reformer.

A large audience soon gathered around him, although most of them were brainless fans and speculators, but there were also powerful businessmen and nobles among them.

The presence of such a man made it difficult for Franz to sleep, after all, Viscount Barron's thoughts were clearly contrary to his desire to build a universal empire.

History has proven countless times that a country can only have one route.
