mage in the late qing dynasty

Chapter 1128 Horrible Experiment

In Noordeinburg, Wilhelmina was absorbed in watching Zhao Lingjun writing furiously.

Zhao Chuanxin is making pineapple and shrimp pizza.

Wilhelmina held her belly, leaned against the door frame, and suddenly asked Zhao Lingjun as if joking or testing him: "Juliana, if you have a brother or sister, will you be willing to give up the throne?"

Zhao Chuanxin pretended not to hear and hummed a little tune loudly: It's just an ordinary poem of the years, writing about the love affairs, every autumn day I love you is like the spring flowers that have not yet ended...

Zhao Lingjun raised his head and blinked his big eyes: "Mom, have you heard of the Xuanwu Gate Incident during the Tang Dynasty? Whoever dares to compete with me for the throne, I will beat him to a pulp..."

Wilhelmina's expression changed immediately.

Good man, you want to kill your mother, brothers and sisters as well?
Our Dutch royal family doesn't have much power, so it's not appropriate for them to be so proactive!
Zhao Lingjun laughed: "Look how scared you are, I'm just kidding you. Whatever, brother or sister, the throne belongs to him, and I don't want any property, just give it all to him. My father has plenty of money, how can he let me down?"

Wilhelmina breathed a sigh of relief, then asked in surprise: "What if you regret it when you grow up?"

"Whoever regrets is a thief!"

"What is it?"

"Sun... um, forget it, Chinese, you can't understand it."

Zhao Chuanxin, who was rolling out dough, couldn't help but sneered.

Wilhelmina rolled her eyes at him, walked over to Zhao Lingjun and looked down. She couldn't help but frowned: "What are you writing?"

She couldn't understand any of the symbols on it.

Zhao Lingjun stretched out his chubby hand to cover the notebook: "It's nothing, nothing. You have a big belly, go and rest. I'll call you when the pizza is ready."

"Move your hands away so I can see what you wrote."

"Nothing to see, just normal homework."

"Juliana, I insist on seeing it."

"You can insist, but I have already voluntarily given up the throne. I don't have to listen to you in the future."

"you……"

It's time to climb up the roof and tear off the tiles.

Zhao Lingjun closed his notebook in tears, stood up and said with his hands behind his back, "This is what it means, if you are selfless, the world will be wide; if you have no desires, you will be strong; if you are tolerant, you will be magnanimous!"

Zhao Chuanxin had to give his daughter a thumbs up: "A good father will have a good daughter!"

Zhao Lingjun walked away with his head held high.

"Where are you going?" Wilhelmina asked from behind.

As soon as Zhao Lingjun got out of the door, he ran away: "No need to wait for me to eat."

"It's all your fault!" Wilhelmina said with some difficulty, sticking to Zhao Chuanxin's back.

"You are right, let the right people do the right things." Zhao Chuanxin commented.

Wilhelmina was thoughtful: "Whether it is a son or a daughter, you can no longer teach them."

Otherwise it would be another Zhao Lingjun.

As for Zhao Lingjun, he is strong, has sharp eyes and ears, an incredible IQ, and is extremely courageous.

Do you think these are advantages?

No, it's all shortcomings...

German Emperor Wilhelm II suffered from polio, but he was still a good emperor!
Zhao Chuanxin grinned: "I didn't teach her much either, it's all due to her talent."

After hearing this, Wilhelmina subconsciously moved away from Zhao Chuanxin: "Then you'd better not even touch our second child."

Zhao Chuanxin raised his eyebrows: "Damn, that's too much, I can't even touch my child?"

Wilhelmina also felt that it was a bit excessive.

But she had made up her mind not to let Zhao Chuanxin have too much contact with her.

The pizza was ready and Wilhelmina devoured it.

Zhao Chuanxin said from the side: "Eat slowly. No one will snatch the food from you when Zhao Lingjun is not here."

The last time she gave birth, he didn't even know.

The maid Margot, who was standing beside her, covered her mouth and laughed.

It’s sour and sweet, and the bell peppers have a spicy taste. Wilhelmina likes it very much.

She said, “What you cook is exceptionally delicious.”

That's not a compliment.

Zhao Chuanxin cooks dishes from all over the world.

Zhao Chuanxin thought of Benjamin: "My eldest disciple instructs the chef to cook, that's really unique."

After Benjamin Goldberg possessed the Food Rune, Zhao Chuanxin finally understood what it meant to never tire of fine food.

Color, aroma and taste are just the basics, and nutrition must be carefully matched.

But he doesn't cook himself. He often directs Dunzi and others in cooking, including the amount of seasoning, the size of the heat, the time for frying and cooking. Every step must be done correctly, otherwise the work will have to be redone.

Zhao Chuanxin touched Wilhelmina's stomach and said, "It's almost done. Don't eat too much, or you'll have acid reflux later."

Wilhelmina didn't listen.

She didn't stop until she was satisfied.

Zhao Chuanxin walked with her slowly, went out to bask in the sun, came back and coaxed her to sleep, then secretly placed a bronze eye in her bedroom, and then went to Zhao Lingjun's room and teleported back to Lubin Mansion.

I went to the government office first.

He went to the official goods bureau office and placed "Entrapment" and "Chaodu" on Yao Jia's desk: "Since you want to tinker with luxury goods, why not set up a military luxury brand called Dragon Scale."

Yao Jia picked up the command knife and stared at it: "My Chao, how much effort must have been put into making it so exquisite? Could it be made by a Japanese craftsman?"

Regardless of whether Japan's sword-forging skills came from China, it is undeniable that their sword-forging skills are almost the best in the world.

As a small country with few people and few resources, we must cherish every resource.

The Japanese can make the most of limited resources.

This is why excellent products are produced so frequently.

Zhao Chuanxin spat, "Are you cursing? This is the sword I made. Even the Japanese can't make it. I'll give you one sword and one gun for your future auction."

Yao Jia looked at the name above and said, "Great, really great. I want to collect it myself."

"Don't even think about it." Zhao Chuanxin is also a craftsman who only produces high-quality products: "Top-quality luxury goods must be unique and limited edition."

"You said that the Dragon Scale brand military industry only makes this kind of swords and guns?"

"No, for example, the boots, hats, clothes, trousers, capes and command knives used by the honor guard, or the tactical uniforms used by elite troops. We make military products and also outdoor clothing and tools."

In later generations, anything related to the outdoors became extremely expensive.

The brands we create now may become top global brands in the 21st century.

The two discussed commodities and the economy, and Yao Jia mentioned something: "Some time ago, Li Guangzong convened a telephone conference with all the localities. He asked Lubin Prefecture, Lugang Town, and Xuantian Sect to jointly invest in the construction of radio towers in the Central Plains, southern regions, Vietnam, Surabaya, Indonesia, and Australia. Now the construction has started simultaneously."

Zhao Chuanxin nodded secretly.

Li Guangzong is still reliable in doing things.

With radio, we can communicate across oceans and transmit messages quickly.

In a vacuum environment, the speed of radio waves is almost equal to the speed of light.

There are multiple interferences in the atmosphere, so radio is naturally not that fast, but it is much faster than wired telegraph.
Wires have resistance, and even in the 21st century they have not achieved superconductivity under normal conditions.

Therefore, Nikola Tesla's research on wireless power transmission has broad prospects.

Otherwise, no matter how good wind power, hydropower and photovoltaic power generation are, there is no way to transmit electricity over long distances, and green energy can only be regional in nature.

After talking for a while, Zhang Shouzeng also came.

The three of them chatted for three hours, and Zhao Chuanxin said goodbye and hurried home to see Zhao Nianzhen.

Not long after that, he returned to Nordenburg through the teleportation array.

The next day, he returned to Lugang Town.

The teleportation array consumes blue crystals.

But blue crystal can be bought with money, but the power of faith is rare.

He was exhausted from running around and was physically and mentally tired.

……

Sweden.

A major case occurred in Stockholm - the Royal Library of Sweden was robbed.

There are many suspicious points in this case.

The door lock was broken, but the guards were not alerted.

At night, the guards patrolled but did not notice anything unusual.

At dawn the next day, the guard was patrolling again, but he was surprised to find a lot of empty space on the bookshelf, and he reported it immediately.

Curator Dahlgren came with the police.

Dahlgren took out the paginated catalog, made a rough comparison, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

Most medieval manuscripts have been stolen.

He suddenly thought of something and rushed to the room where the Devil's Bible was kept to take a look.

Sure enough, it’s gone.

Dahlgren fell to the ground.

About half a month later.

Three headless bodies were found on the beach.

Stockholm police investigated residents along the coast but found nothing.

They checked the clothes of the dead, all the pockets were emptied, and no clues were found. Later, the identities of the dead were determined based on the tattoos of one of them. Someone told the police that they went out to sea, perhaps to an island.

Soon, the police found the sand dune island of Baden and saw three heads on wooden poles erected in the harbor.

Because of the cold weather, the heads had not yet completely decayed, but were pecked at by seabirds and crows. The three heads looked hideous and horrifying.

The police also saw the warning on the stone tablet erected nearby.

This incident caused a sensation in Stockholm.

……

A week after the theft at the Royal Swedish Library, the British Museum behind New Oxford Street in London was also robbed.

The number of stolen cultural relics reached 120 million.

Egyptian artifacts, Greek and Roman artifacts, Chinese artifacts...the clay tablets of "The Epic of Gilgamesh" that George Smith excavated from the tomb of Ashurbanipal in Nineveh, the ancient Assyrian capital, were all stolen.

British archaeologists also reported that the ancient city of Ur in Nasiriyah was robbed and all the cultural relics that could be taken away were looted.

As early as 1853, John George Taylor of Britain discovered the ancient city of Ur, but the excavation was on a small scale at that time.

In recent years, due to the unstable situation in the Balkans and the competition between Britain and Germany in various fields such as industry, there is a lack of manpower, financial and material resources to support large-scale excavations, so archaeological work has been delayed.

As a result, someone took advantage of it.

Some people linked the case to Zhao Chuanxin based on several sensational cases in Europe.

First of all, Dune Baden Island now belongs to Zhao Chuanxin.

A few reckless people landed on the island and were brutally beheaded.

The Royal Library of Sweden was robbed.

The British Museum was stolen.

The ancient city of Ur was robbed.

There seems to be a connection between these cases.

……

4 month 3 day.

Sweden and the United Kingdom jointly called Lubin Prefecture, asking Zhao Chuanxin to cooperate with the investigation.

The telegram sent fell into the sea and no response was received.

So the British Embassy's Charge d'Affaires in China, Easton, went to Lubin Prefecture in person and found Zhao Chuanxin in the government office.

"Mr. Zhao, this matter is of great importance. Please cooperate with our investigation."

Zhao Chuanxin put his legs on the desk, a cigarette in his mouth, and held the financial report in his hand and said calmly: "I cooperated with your mother, who the hell do you think you are?"

Eston was angry and raised his voice a little: "Mr. Zhao, the Royal Library of Sweden lost more than 3000 books in the theft, and the British Museum lost 120 million cultural relics in the theft. That's 120 million. Can you imagine it?"

"I can." Zhao Chuanxin took his legs off the table and stared at Eston. "Of course I can imagine. Aren't those all stolen from all over the world by you British devils? Why are you competing with me here? Fuck, in my opinion, they still stole too little. The thieves should have taken more. I guess if time didn't allow it, the thieves would have cleared out your collection!"

"You..." Easton was so angry that he was fuming. "We at the British Museum are just preserving cultural relics for the people of the world."

Zhao Chuanxin took a sip from the teacup and said, "Oh? Have the people of the world agreed? This is the first time in my life that I have heard such shameless words."

Eston gritted his teeth and said, "In many countries, the people are ignorant, and the officials are also ignorant. They don't understand the importance of culture. Back then, in your Mogao Grottoes, a Taoist priest reported to the officials that there were a batch of cultural relics that needed to be protected. But your officials didn't take it seriously at all, and in the end, the cultural relics were stolen."

"Haha, how do you know? Are you planning to steal the cultural relics in Mogao Grottoes? That would be consistent with your character of stealing, robbing, kidnapping and deceiving."

Of course, those scriptures are now on display in Ethan's manor.

Eston said to himself: "Also, the Ottoman Empire, they don't pay attention to cultural relics. The cultural relics of the ancient city of Ur were also stolen, and they should have been protected by us..."

"If you don't dig out something, how can they keep an eye on you? If they don't take it seriously now, won't they take it seriously in the future? It's obvious that you are British."

Easton: "And Greece..."

Zhao Chuanxin stood up and shouted, "Cui Fenghua, come here and send this idiot out. Go back to where you came from."

Cui Fenghua took two Gray Axe soldiers and took Eston out.

Eston tossed his legs and yelled, "Zhao Chuanxin, if you don't cooperate, both countries will be finished. This is not a trivial matter..."

"Ah... tui! What the hell is that guy next door? He actually framed me."

Eston, who was being carried out, happened to hear this.

He suddenly became confused: Could it be that he really didn't do it?

But who else in the world has such ability?
After Eston was taken away, Zhao Chuanxin immediately returned home and teleported to Peace College via the teleportation array.

"Dad, what are you doing here?" Zhao Lingjun came out of the laboratory and ran into Zhao Chuanxin.

Ever since she told Wilhelmina that she no longer wanted the throne or the family property, she completely let herself go and became wild.

"Nonsense, I built this Peace College, I can come back whenever I want."

It took many years to build.

Zhao Lingjun chuckled, turned around and ran away.

Zhao Chuanxin ignored her and passed through Binxu Road, arrived in front of the virtual realm, teleported Quetshalan, and moved the cultural relics here from the underground fortress.

That’s right, the things were stolen by Zhao Chuanxin.

Because I often travel back and forth to Noordeinde, the other side of the Netherlands is the UK.

Zhao Chuanxin was so angry that he decided to go all out.

If the guards had not patrolled frequently that night and discovered something, he would have emptied the museum.

Because too many countries were involved, Zhao Chuanxin couldn't be too arrogant. He first moved the Chinese cultural relics that they had looted, and then moved the cultural relics of other countries to cover up his tracks. Of course, he was really interested in "The Epic of Gilgamesh".

The virtual realm cannot be teleported and the secret space cannot be used.

Zhao Chuanxin could only carry the things manually, and he had been doing this for many days in a row.

After moving this batch, he came out and pounded his lower back, then went flying into the sky.

In the restaurant, he shouted, "Dunzi, serve tea to the shopkeeper, and serve the good wine and food."

Dunzi responded and went to the kitchen.

At dinner time, Nikola Tesla came to the restaurant: "Zhao, you are back."

When Zhao Chuanxin saw Nikola, he suddenly thought: Why not get a car and drive it to Binxu Road of Peace College and transport it to the virtual world?
When he designed the Peace College, he deliberately left a winding road for traffic.

He said to Nikola Tesla: "Nikola, can you study radio-guided missiles?"

"What is a missile?"

"A rocket launched from the ground, propelled by a power unit, controlled by radio, carrying a projectile that explodes upon impact..."

Nikola Tesla said: "It sounds like I can't help with anything except the radio part."

Zhao Chuanxin sighed: "Then, can you invent a television?"

At this time, the restaurant door was pushed open, and Benjamin Goldberg walked in. He happened to hear it and asked hurriedly, "Master, what is a TV?"

Zhao Chuanxin explained, the cathode tube electron gun shoots out electron beams to paint the screen coated with fluorescent powder...

After hearing this, Nikola Tesla touched his chin and said, "This is my specialty... Let me think about it..."

Benjamin Goldberg was interested in movies and the like, and naturally he was also interested in television.

But his strengths were not in the field of electromagnetism.

He said to Zhao Chuanxin, "Master, the experiment you asked me to do was successful. Do you want to come and see it?"

Xingyue couldn't wait to whisper in Zhao Chuanxin's ear: "Go and take a look."

Zhao Chuanxin said, "Let's finish our meal."

After dinner, Zhao Chuanxin and Benjamin Goldberg went to the laboratory.

Outside the laboratory, Zhao Lingjun and Yao Bing were roasting lamb legs on a charcoal stove.

"Dad, can you drink something?"

Zhao Chuanxin's voice suddenly rose: "You two are still drinking?"

Really deserves a beating.

Yao Bing hurriedly said, "Master, please listen to my explanation. We didn't drink alcohol. We drank the supplements given by our senior brother. Our junior sister was acting strange and pretended to drink the supplements as alcohol."

Zhao Chuanxin pointed at the two of them and said, "Be careful."

Zhao Lingjun didn't care.

Yao Bing nodded in agreement.

Entering the laboratory, it was filled with bottles and jars, and many strange things soaked in liquid.

Benjamin Goldberg went to tinker with a projector.

Zhao Chuanxin was a little confused: "Aren't we here to watch the experiment?"

“Yes, I recorded it all.”

The curtain dropped and the picture appeared.

Zhao Chuanxin felt creepy as he watched.

Benjamin, Zhao Lingjun and Yao Bing caught the butterfly pupae. They cut the pupae in half, blocked half of them, connected the upper and lower parts of the pupae with metal tubes, and just cut them open and left them alone.

The pupa will naturally die after being dissected.

However, the pupa that was half blocked actually grew the upper body of a butterfly, while the lower body disappeared.

The pupa with the metal tube eventually transformed into a butterfly, but there was still a metal tube stuck in its belly, and the butterfly could not fly up no matter how it flapped its wings.

Benjamin Goldberg said, "Master, butterflies are truly amazing creatures."

Next, Benjamin did another experiment.

During the experiment, he cut the pupa into pieces, put a metal tube in it, and injected various liquids into the butterfly's stomach.

Benjamin Goldberg explained: "Master, I prepared 47 kinds of nutrient solutions, and only one was successful, which prevented the butterfly from dying and made it grow larger. On this basis, foreign cells can be integrated into the pupa without causing the metal tube to become hollow. Master, you see, here comes the magical part..."
