It turned out that this "big joy" was not about getting married, but about someone who created something!

What is this thing?

"Please see your Majesty!"

I saw Lin Xiaoti take out a metal ball from his arms, this is...

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

"Oh! Your Majesty! You are really knowledgeable! You even know this thing, and! Your Majesty, I admire you very much! When you see such a thing, you are so calm and so calm, you are simply the example of the world!"

"Ahem..." Li Mengyang's face was slightly red when he was praised. ￠￡,

Why does Lin Xiaoti speak like this? Could this guy have become a flatterer now?

No, Li Mengyang quickly realized that his performance just now was a bit too pretentious!

Yes, it’s because I’m too calm, and Lin Xiaoti said it’s not bad at all. Seeing aluminum, such a large piece of aluminum can still be so calm, that is definitely the example of the world, that’s right!

Do you know how much aluminum costs per pound now?

That historical story is that when Napoleon III was dining, he used aluminum plates, while others were silver plates. This shows that Napoleon III was a guy who likes to show off. In fact...

Where did Napoleon III show off?

This guy is clearly pretending! And he is a big one!

At this time, in the 1860s, the value of a kilogram of aluminum was three thousand gold francs!

The golden franc, which is the current currency of France, is understandable by most people. But what is the purchasing power of this franc?

One franc contains nearly one gram of gold!

That is to say, one kilogram of aluminum now is almost equal to three kilograms of gold!

So, how a pretend thing is to eat with aluminum tableware?

Li Mengyang used to know that this thing was very expensive at this time, at least more expensive than silver, but what he didn't know was that the current aluminum is so fucking expensive, it is actually twice as expensive than gold!

In history books, it is usually just that aluminum is very expensive at this time, but it is really not written in such detail. To be honest, textbooks are sometimes really cheating. If the textbook writes this place in detail, there is no need to talk about it too much. We will definitely denounce Napoleon III as a thing, and this historical view of class struggle was naturally formed.

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

"Who did this?" Li Mengyang ignored the blushing matter for now. You know, why is aluminum expensive?

How simple, because in this era, it is difficult to make this thing, so now, Lin Xiaoti has brought such a large piece of aluminum over here... Anyway, Li Mengyang knows that Lin Xiaoti is not a technical talent, so it is really difficult for him to make this thing.

"Your Majesty sees Wanli clearly!" Lin Xiaoti bowed and bowed. He really admired His Majesty the Emperor to death. "I brought this person who created this aluminum, and I also brought it today, Your Majesty..."

"Let's meet! Come quickly and bring him here!" Before Lin Xiaoti finished speaking, Li Mengyang immediately spoke.

Of course, don’t you see such talents?

As a result, not long after, another Chinese person appeared in Li Mengyang's emperor's office!

"Are you Chinese?!" Li Mengyang was really surprised, because now, we Chinese and Chinese have produced scientific and technological achievements, and this is really too few of them, except for Li Mengyang's abstract masterpieces!

This is not because Li Mengyang looked down on his compatriots, he absolutely did not have this intention. Instead, he knew that his compatriots were absolutely excellent in terms of IQ. Needless to say, black Indians, we Chinese are better than those white people!

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 they were very ignorant!

Although this is not nice, the reality is that Li Mengyang will not be the kind of person who is afraid of medical treatment. As for the reason, Li Mengyang also knows that it is the feudal imperial policy of ignoring the people, coupled with the policy of keeping the country in a closed position and not communicating, so what progress can be made?

Therefore, his vigorous development of education is actually mainly for his own compatriots.

But I didn’t expect that this education industry will have results so quickly?

Yes, aluminum is so difficult to deal with and so expensive, what does this mean?

It means that there is no good idea for white people now!

You know, the science of the world at this time is really the dominant whites. Although this fact makes us Chinese feel a little disappointed, it is true that Li Mengyang does not shy away from it.

So, nowadays, aluminum is so expensive. If it can be smelted in large quantities, wouldn’t it be a huge benefit? Would white people be so stupid that they wouldn’t do it?

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

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

At this time, the new Chinese man who came in could see the great His Majesty, and his nervousness passed a little. He thought that His Majesty seemed to have asked him before, so he became bolder.

"Report to Your Majesty! I am a Chinese."

The person in front of me is not very old, only in his thirties, but he looks very smart and has a very lively look, but this reply...

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

"Report to Your Majesty..." The way this person spoke...

"Oh, don't take this every time, you just talk normally." Li Mengyang was anxious.

"Report..." This guy laughed himself, but it can be seen that he is a cautious person, but fortunately, he adjusted, "Your Majesty, my husband's name is Lu Kun, and he is now working at the No. 1 Power Station in San Francisco."

The first power station is right. It is the dam. In fact, it is a very small project. There is a lake to the east of San Francisco, and it is not big. You can find a place downstream to block rivers and build a dam, and you can also experiment first.

You know, this is actually not easy. Although Li Mengyang is not a science student, he knows a little bit. Electricity was originally direct current, power stations, etc., and it was all come out later. It seems to have something to do with the Tesla, which is particularly famous in China. Of course, it also has something to do with Edison... Hey, I remembered this ungrateful guy again!

However, Li Mengyang did not like Lu Kun's way of speaking too much, and it had a strong sense of the Qing Dynasty's officialdom. So Li Mengyang said: "You don't need to be so careful in front of me, really. You will know in the future. In this way, tell me how you made this thing?"

"Okay, okay." Lu Kun was quite happy. It seemed that His Majesty was really a good person. He only heard him say: "Your Majesty, I don't really understand these sciences. Anyway, this thing was created. The Minister of Science, Mr. Thomson, was very happy. He said that this was a major event in the history of science. But I am not a scientist, but I like stones..."

Hey? What's going on? Why did you get the stone when you're doing aluminum?

It turns out that the matter here is really interesting.

Lu Kun, he likes strange stones. You must know that this hobby is very normal in our country. Then there are Song Huizong, birthday gifts and other things, but this hobby is also very expensive, and as a result, Lu Kun could not live his life when he was in the Qing Dynasty.

Yes, over the years, the Qing Dynasty was beaten by the great powers outside, and then was also engaged in economic development. In fact, it was mainly due to economic losses and losses, and then the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was in trouble. Do you think Lu Kun can still play with strange stones?

I can't even survive!

So Lu Kun ran out and arrived at the New Tang Empire in the United States. No matter what, this place is also a country of Chinese. It's very good, it's here.

When he came, he had to follow him. At the beginning, the Empire was engaged in steelmaking. Lu Kun was a little educated, so he became a little boss. His life was very good, and he also found an opportunity to regain his hobbies.

When making steel and iron, you have to deal with ore. So, once, Lu Kun discovered a stone that looked like salt crystal, which was not crystal, which was less transparent than crystal, but was also very strong, anyway, much stronger than salt crystal blocks.

So Lu Kun naturally gave this thing, and it was nothing trivial.

But later, Lu Kun was transferred to the power station. After all, the work requirements for this power station are much higher than steelmaking, so culture is indispensable. Lu Kun's previous performance was also good. Just go to the power station to be a small leader.

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

By a special coincidence, when he took out his stone to enjoy it, everyone in the hobby understood it. As a result, he accidentally fell into a power transmission equipment. This thing almost caused the entire power station to shut down!

This was originally a safety accident. Lu Kun was about to finish it, but unexpectedly, the stone changed!

There is a metal that appears on the surface of the stone, and this metal is aluminum!

"... Lord Thomson said that the stone I found was actually ice crystal, a kind of ore..."

The story has come to this point. Although I haven’t finished it, there are still a lot of adventures about how to find this aluminum adventure, but Li Mengyang has already understood that this feeling is electrolytic aluminum?

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

Why is aluminum so expensive in this era?

Too simple! No electricity!

Yes, now it seems that the only one who promotes electricity in the world is our American Empire!

That aluminum is so expensive, then isn't this...

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