"It's really a fantastic invention. Compared with this work of art, the gun lighter and the invention of Professor Belina are ridiculously crude."

"Well, I'm also proud that I have such an excellent student."

In this era, modern lighters have not yet been invented, and there are only two less common lighters.

One is the gun-type lighter. As the name suggests, the principle of use is exactly the same as that of a pistol. Not only is it very complicated to use, but it also has the smell of a battlefield, not only gunpowder, but also gunpowder smoke...

The other was invented by the German chemist Bellina, which uses the principle that hydrogen will catch fire when it encounters platinum cotton.

A small glass cylinder is filled with an appropriate amount of dilute sulfuric acid, an inner tube is installed in the cylinder, zinc flakes are placed in the inner tube, a top cover is installed in the glass cylinder, there are nozzles, platinum cotton and switches on the top cover, the zinc flakes in the inner tube and the Sulfuric acid contacts to generate hydrogen gas.

The pressure generated by a certain amount of hydrogen discharges the sulfuric acid in the inner tube into the glass cylinder. When the switch is turned on, the hydrogen in the inner tube rushes to the platinum cotton and catches fire; the pressure in the inner tube and the glass cylinder is rebalanced, and the sulfuric acid enters the inner tube again. , and react with zinc flakes to produce hydrogen gas.

The most important thing is that this lighter is about the same size as a modern electric kettle, and it may explode at any time due to bumps and open flames.

However, Europeans at that time still had a strong interest in this kind of thing, so they went further and further on the evil road.

Of course, Franz would not have this kind of distress, but for safety reasons, he did not use gasoline, but kerosene.

Franz didn't want the biggest blame man in Austrian history to leave early, otherwise the vast number of blame in 1848 might not be able to be separated.

In order to enhance the style and taste, Franz deliberately mixed whale oil and kerosene so that the taste of kerosene would not be too strong.

As for the design style, Franz followed the more successful zippo lighter design concept of later generations. The all-metal casing even allowed a famous sculptor in Vienna to engrave a double-headed eagle logo on it.

Speaking of which, men are really strange creatures. The sculptor didn't ask for a reward from Franz, but asked for a lighter.

After the design of the Franz lighter was sent to the Academy of Sciences, a group of smokers worked overtime to complete it in one day.

Sure enough, love is the source of motivation. Let a group of smokers develop lighters, it is really the right person.

After listening to Metternich's words, Viscount Stratford exclaimed.

"I didn't expect you to be a great inventor!"

"No, it was my student who invented this, not me. I can only give him some advice on politics." Metternich said modestly.

"To be able to create such a great invention and be taught by you, it seems that your students are extraordinary." Viscount Stratford could only say nicely. After all, the other party's attitude is tough. If the matter falls apart , the loss is the British Empire.

(Britain was not yet an empire at this time, but the British Empire reads much more imposing than Britain.)

"It is indeed extraordinary. He is a member of the royal family of the Austrian Empire. Mr. Canning, you represent your country as an envoy to our country. Why? Let's just say it."

Although Metternich was very patient, he really didn't like the clumsy flattery of the other party, so he just got on the right track.

(Mainly because I am afraid that you will say that I am water.)

Metternich got straight to the point, but Viscount Stratford was not used to it, and still said to himself.

"Your Excellency, our two countries share many common interests. Looking at the whole of Europe, only us, Britain and Austria, are willing to send troops to uphold justice and maintain order..."

Metternich nodded, and it seemed that the other party was somewhat sincere. Russia wants to send troops, but you, Britain, don't agree.

Metternich hoped that France would send troops to copy the way of the British, but their king was a softie.

As for Prussia, nothing can be done but vote and protest.

"I believe that as long as our two countries work together, the interests of both parties can be guaranteed to the greatest extent. France, Russia, and other countries will definitely strongly oppose the fact that your country suddenly sent troops to Serbia and Bosnia. I think your country must need us British support..." Viscount Stratford said.

"You are right, but I think the French will not give up their position easily, and will definitely oppose your country's imposition of excessive punishment on Egypt. And you, the UK, are so aggressive this time, not at the cost of losing troops, not just for the sake of Keep the integrity of the Ottoman Empire."

Metternich deliberately emphasized the two keywords of France and loss of troops. He believed that the British had suffered such a large loss this time, and they would definitely not be reconciled, and they would definitely have to make up for it from other places.

Viscount Stratford cursed inwardly, "Damn old fox, you really won't give an inch. Helmut is an idiot, he really should be hanged."

Helmut's fiasco had indeed had disastrous consequences for British diplomacy, and it had been a long time since a European country had lost ground to a non-Western civilization.

The Tory Party (opposition party, Conservative Party) seized this point and attacked the incumbent Whig Party madly, which also expanded the influence of this naval battle.

At the same time, some unscrupulous media also got involved. Under their hype, Helmut's failure was almost comparable to Napoleon's Battle of Waterloo.

But in fact, Helmut's fleet can only be regarded as a branch of the North Sea Fleet, which is still far away from the carotid artery.

It's just that most politicians are not military strategists. They only know the impact of this fiasco, which has plunged the entire Whig Party into crisis.

So much so that the always gentle Viscount Melbourne threatened to try Helmut and hang him on the gallows.

It's just that the British Navy's highest punishment for defeated generals is early retirement.

As for the question of the French, it is not big, but it is not small. France's attitude is an unavoidable problem in this Near East crisis.

After all, Muhammad Ali would not have dared to attack the Ottoman Empire without France as the backstage for Egypt.

It's just that France betrayed his ally at the most critical moment ~www.wuxiamtl.com~, which made Viscount Stratford very confused.

Now the Viscount Stratford is only sure of one thing. He wants Austria to owe Britain a favor before stating his own conditions. This trick seems to be unworkable.

"Your Excellency, I think our two countries share the same position and interests during this crisis in the Near East. The further expansion of French power in the Near East is not conducive to peace in the Near East..."

Metternich had no interest in such empty talk, and personally, he hoped that France would continue to fight the British to death in the Near East. In this way, the day when Austria will completely integrate Italy is just around the corner.

"...In view of the above reasons, our country hopes that your country can assume the responsibility of a major country in the Near East, preside over this meeting, and jointly discuss sanctions against the shameful invader Egypt and its master behind the scenes, France."

Metternich just smiled and didn't answer. He was indeed waiting for the other party to invite Austria to host the meeting, but the invader? It was obviously Ottoman who started it first.
