Chapter 571 Projector
Because the photography industry in Austria has developed so rapidly, it has also led to the development of other technologies.
Uhardius, an instructor at the Austrian Artillery Academy, accidentally combined slides and Stampfel discs while researching new teaching methods, and created the earliest projector.
The artillery major did not use his invention for teaching, nor did he declare it as an invention. Instead, he used it to pick up girls.
Yes, Uhardius and his invention became the focus of major balls and frequent guests in high-society salons.
Franz almost never goes to balls or salons. One reason is his personality. He feels that he still has many important things to do, and the chaotic atmosphere is not suitable for him.
Another reason is that Mrs. Sophie feels that those balls are a complete waste of time, just like those professors' courses. What the Austrian Empire needs is a king, not a scholar or a social master.
In fact, Mrs. Sophie was quite resentful towards her father and brother. If two consecutive generations of kings had not indulged in female sex, Bavaria would not be what it is today.
They have more love affairs than the memorials they have approved. They can't get on the stage or get out of bed. They are just like two boars.
Especially for Ludwig I's mistress at this time, Laura Munster (also translated as Laura Montes) Madame Sophie, she was even more contemptuous.
Lola Munster initially thought of herself as a gypsy dancer, but soon became a social butterfly in the French upper class. She eloped with people several times because of "love", but in the end she was always abandoned by "scumbags" .
She learned from the pain and decided not to be a doll for others to play with, and then Lola Munster began her evil life.
The first target chosen by Lola Munster was Alexandre Dugarry, a well-known newspaper owner and art critic in Paris at the time.
Lola Munster was very scheming. She collected a lot of personal information about Alexander Dugarry, understood all aspects of him, and discovered that one of the characteristics of the latter was that he passed a horse farm every day.
Equestrian happened to be one of Lola Munster's specialties, so the two had a wonderful "encounter". Although it was an old-fashioned hero saving a beauty, it deeply touched Dugarry's heart.
Later, in order to express her gratitude, Laura invited Dugarry to drink a cup of coffee in a very "ordinary" cafe on the side of the road.
Through the "unintentional" conversation between the two, the latter felt the taste of love. The two end up spending a romantic evening, and soon after Lola moves into Dugarry's villa.
The two made love at a high-society banquet, which made Dugarry's friends shout that it was impossible. After all, this veteran in love had always had a one-night stand, and the word loyalty would never appear in this man.
So some people began to bet on how long it would take for Dugarry to get tired of playing this time, but what was surprising was that not long after, Dugarry announced that he was going to marry Lola Munster.
However, the good times did not last long, and Dugarry soon died in a duel with a critic who had insulted Lola Munster in the newspaper.
After that, Laura Munster had to leave Paris, and she moved to Munich, the capital of Bavaria. This time Lola Munster targeted King Ludwig I of Bavaria.
It's just that it's much harder to get close to the king than to get close to a newspaper owner, but this doesn't trouble Lola Munster.
She first caused an encounter and became the lover of Count Huntenberg, the chamberlain of Ludwig I.
Later, under the latter's arrangement, he got an opportunity to meet the king.
But he happened to be caught by the queen. No woman would want such a charming bitch to be around her husband, so she ordered the soldiers to drive him away.
But the latter tore off the clothes on his chest and pushed the soldier away while he was stunned, and broke into King Ludwig I's room.
Then Lola Munster began her performance in full view of the public. This overly explicit performance made the nobles and ministers present shout "obscene."
But Lola Munster captured Ludwig I in the shortest time. The latter favored the former, gave her many gifts, and even wrote poems for her.
But the most outrageous thing was that Ludwig I even allowed Lola Munster to get involved in government affairs and participate in national affairs. He also gave the latter the title of countess, making her a person more powerful than ten thousand people.
You must know that the status of women at that time was not high. As a princess, Lady Sophie had no power to involve politics, although she theoretically does not have it now.
Mrs. Sophie did not want her eldest son to one day become as virtuous as her father and brother, so on the one hand, Mrs. Sophie did not want Franz to get too involved in useless things.
On the other hand, he is collecting "talents" everywhere to make Franz completely immune to such people.
Closer to home, Adjani plans to give Franz a surprise. So the former took the latter to her room, closed the doors and windows, closed the heavy curtains, and began to extinguish the candles one by one.
"Miss Adjani, I think I'm still young, maybe we can chat first." Franz seemed a little shy and a little hopeful.
Only then did Adjani realize that what she was doing was easily misunderstood. In fact, she had lived the same life as a nun these years. Although she was a little uncomfortable at first, as time went by and more and more things happened, she became accustomed to it. Once you get used to it, you feel like you are getting younger as you live.
Occasionally when Adjani gets up in the morning and enters the Grand Duke's room, she will see the bulge on the quilt, and occasionally tease it. She likes the ambiguous feeling now. As for whether there will be further development, she doesn't know. care.
But now Adjani doesn't want to do this, she just wants to show off her new toy.
"Pa" Adjani hit Franz on the head.
"What are you thinking about! Let you see something good!"
Franz: "What? So mysterious?"
Adjani extinguished the last candle, leaving the whole room shrouded in darkness, and then suddenly a beam of light appeared on the curtains, and then an image appeared, which seemed to be a person carrying a cannonball.
As Adjani turned something like a disk lying horizontally, the screen began to move.
The picture is simple and blurry, lasting only a dozen seconds.
Naturally, this primitive projection technology could not surprise Franz, but seeing that he was still interested, he simply cooperated.
While applauding, he said, "Not bad, not bad."
Franz's perfunctory behavior was discovered by Adjani.
"You don't seem surprised at all?"
Franz: "Well, isn't this the slide projector? Wasn't it invented in the sixteenth century?"
Adjani: "No! The slide projector can only project images, not make them move."
Franz: "Actually, as long as it can switch 24 pictures per second, it can be moved. The limitations of the Stampfel disk are too strong, and the picture can only be maintained for 30 seconds at most. It's just that this early company No projector can compare.”
"Projector?" Adjani interrupted.
Franz quickly explained: "A brand new tool that allows screen time to break through the limitations of the Stampfel disk. In the future, it should also lead to a brand new industry and a means of threatening people. Are you interested? Be a movie heroine?”
