War Palace and Knee Pillow, Austria’s Destiny

Vienna, Royal Academy of Sciences.

In fact, the periodic table mentioned earlier caused Franz some additional 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 rules.

But due to a small oversight on his part, krypton (Kr), an element that has not yet been discovered, was also among them.

As a result, there has been a discussion in the chemical community, and curious people have given their own opinions on what exactly Kr is.

Some people who knew nothing about German thought it was the abbreviation of King and Royal, which represented the royal family, but the unlucky guy was quickly thrown out of the venue by other scientists.

Although it is not unusual or shameful to flatter the royal family, for a scientist to be so unscrupulous is a bit too much.

Then the finger of blame was naturally pointed at the initiator - Franz.

While he was thinking about how to get through, the experts present concluded through brainstorming that this was an element that had not yet been discovered, and Archduke Franz wanted to give this opportunity to others.

"How great and noble!"

Some people who had received the "favor" of this genius nobleman couldn't help but burst into tears on the spot. They took off their eyes and wiped the tears from the corners of their eyes with a handkerchief.

In this way, he escaped disaster temporarily. However, the krypton element was actually discovered by the British W. Ramsay and M.W. Travers in 1898. There was still a long way to go to find this element decades in advance.

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

And those scientists who are arrogant in front of others and even intend to challenge God will listen to this great discussion of scientific truth with the most sincere attitude.

This is of course not only because Franz may be the future emperor, but also because almost every suggestion he makes will become a historic breakthrough in the scientific community.

Of course, the church's crazy campaign also contributed a lot. After all, these gangsters still like to hug their thighs, no matter whether the person facing them is a child or something else.

The eighteenth and nineteenth centuries were inherently magical times, and it was not unusual for scientists to believe in religion. It would be better to say that not being religious is what makes people feel alien.

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

But she soon ran into trouble. Although Miss Ada was a talented person in mathematics, she was still slightly inferior to a real expert.

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

They want to find the best carry, but obviously these professional mathematicians are not experts in engineering.

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

This number is obviously completely nonsense to mechanical engineers, but after a lot of fuss by this group of mathematicians, the closest thing to perfection and industrially feasible is ternary, and binary can only be used as the second option.

During this period, Babbage's Analytical Engine still used gears and did not involve electricity, so he quickly concluded that in order to be infinitely close to perfection, he should adopt the three-carrying route and gave up the research on the decimal place.

However, the outrageous thing had just begun. When the church heard that the three-carrying system was the most perfect conclusion, all the bishops became excited and knelt down to beg God for forgiveness.

Because this unintentionally coincides with the Catholic doctrine of the Trinity, which means that there is only one God, but it includes three persons: the Father, the Son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. Ever since, the church invested in Babbage’s Analytical Engine project!

Babbage himself didn't know whether he was playing tricks on the magicians or was really brainwashed. He actually wanted to lead Miss Ada and his assistants to openly convert to Catholicism.

After discussion, the church leaders actually let Babbage wear a white robe and become a theological scholar.

When the farce reached Franz's ears, he decided to add fuel to the fire by asking the wizard to design a new instrument that could help the church count the country's population.

The current pace of population demography is very inefficient and slow, usually measured in decades, and so we see some of the most ridiculous things about the current period.

We had to wait until the advent of the perforated tabulating machine decades later in 1890 to overcome this historic problem. Now Franz was ready to throw this problem to Babbage.

After all, if the latter can complete this great undertaking, it will be beneficial to the country and the people, and it will also make his name more famous.

In the 19th century when electricity science was still in its infancy, computers, an epoch-making product, were still far out of reach as high technology. Therefore, the right approach was to first create as reliable and effective computers and statistical instruments as possible.

Of course, it doesn't matter even if it fails. After all, it is not unusual for a statistics to take ten or eight years.

At the same time, Franz finally encountered the by-product of the customs union and regional economic integration - the theory of racial superiority; this is an extremely terrifying trend of thought.

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

The propagandist of this theory was a captain with mediocre military exploits. He had almost never won a battle, but he did not think that this was the responsibility of his own incompetence in commanding the troops.

On the contrary, he turned the finger and pointed it at the Italians and Jews in his own army, especially the latter, who were simply a group of despicable thieves and dirty robbers.

Anti-Semitism is an old tradition in Europe. Although Austrian Jews have a higher social status, this kind of speech is still very popular.

Some wealthy and powerful Jews became vigilant as soon as they heard such remarks. 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, he will become your most loyal lackey.

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

When one plan failed, the Jewish financiers tried another. If you are too soft, you will be hard. Death threats were sent directly to Viscount Barron's home.

But as a poor nobleman, their family was so poor that they had no strength left. Viscount Barron's father even bought a coffin for the family overnight and placed it in the garden.

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

What's even more outrageous is that he also attributed the previous stock market crash to the Jews. Although he was searching for enemies in vain, he was unexpectedly close to the truth.

“It was the Jews who raised the stock price, and it was the Jews who were the first to sell stocks and cause the stock market to plummet. They are the murderers of this country.

If the royal family had not given up its territory to save people, now we would have lost our property and become slaves to the Jews..."

It is well known that the more radical and attention-grabbing the creator of such remarks is, the easier it is for him to gather a large number of fanatical fans, just like Kossuth who promotes Magyarism is more popular than Széchenyi who is rationally reforming.

A large audience quickly gathered around him. Although most of them were idiots and speculators, there were also powerful businessmen and nobles among them.

The existence of this kind of person makes Franz sleepless and sleepless. After all, Viscount Barron's thoughts are obviously contrary to his desire to establish a universal empire.

History has proven countless times that a country can only follow one path.
