Chapter 30 Absolute Power
What a huge transformation it is from pharmacist to arms dealer?
In fact, the change is not that big.
We all study chemistry, and the word "medicine" is the same.
Medicine and explosives... they're both medicine!
It can be used to save people or to kill people, that's all.
In fact, in 1860, even if they didn't make medicine or explosives, they would still be in a difficult situation.
With professional knowledge of chemistry that is ahead of its time, which is actually just a few years of chemistry knowledge learned in junior high and high school, one can easily acquire huge wealth. For example, the man who invented aniline purple a few years ago and ushered in the era of synthetic dyes, didn’t he become a world tycoon by relying on dyes?
What is the core of the Second
It's science!
It's technology!
This is an era where technology creates wealth.
A dye can make an ordinary chemist become a millionaire overnight, and an explosive can make the Nobel Prize for explosives. As for steel and machinery, they are the foundation of national strength!
And all of this... we are professional!
Why should we be confined to South America?
I left the house, walked to the lawn in the yard, and looked up at the starry sky.
The starry sky in the southern hemisphere is different from that in the northern hemisphere. Zhu Xianhai, lying in the chair, seemed to be in a complicated mood.
In fact, his original ideal in life was to get into university, settle down in a big city, and preferably marry a wife who didn't require him to buy a house.
But there is always a gap between reality and ideals, and sometimes it is very big. Just when he was about to give up working hard in the big city, he traveled through time with a "boom", and traveled to South America in 1860.
After traveling through time, if it weren't for the blessing of the golden finger, I would have been dead long ago.
But so far everything is going well.
At the very least, relying on knowledge that is ahead of the times, whether it is chemistry or mechanics, it is necessary to enjoy wealth and glory in this life.
Just like now.
Something that he made simply could bring him endless benefits throughout his life.
Luxury houses, young models, everything you need.
But God knows how he got through this period.
I can’t eat, I can’t sleep at night, it feels like something is stuck in my throat, I can’t sleep or eat well…
In the past he didn’t know he knew so many idioms, but now he has a deep understanding of the meaning of these idioms.
He woke up from nightmares countless times.
In the dream, although the military minister had a smile on his face, he took his life calmly.
Even if Zhu Xianhai has knowledge that transcends his time, what’s the use?
In the face of absolute power, knowledge and money are nothing.
So what if you have money?
Comparing money and power, no matter how you look at it, there are two big words on the head - "fat sheep".
By the way, there is a word "death" in the middle.
Even if we hire dozens or even hundreds of bodyguards, can they fight against the army?
too difficult.
It was late spring in Buenos Aires, and the breeze was pleasant and refreshing. The moonlight and starlight sprinkled on him, but the pleasant night breeze and fresh air could not blow away Zhu Xianhai's inner troubles.
At worst...get out of this damn place!
Suddenly , Zhu Xianhai opened his eyes wide and muttered to himself.
"Science, science is the primary productive force!"
yes!
Science is the primary productive force!
What is the most popular thing in Europe these days?
It's just science!
At present in Europe, the status of science is so high that it is hard for future generations to imagine. Scientists are always the celebrities of the upper class. Countless ladies are proud to climb into the bed of scientists. For example, Einstein is a typical example. He is not only a master in science, but also a master in bed, with countless lovers.
If you become a famous scientist, you will be blessed with a halo. Even though Zhu Xianhai is a yellow man, he is not someone that can be manipulated by ordinary people in Europe. Of course, with his knowledge ahead of his time, it would be easy for him to become a scientist or even a member of the Academy of Sciences.
In addition, the European rulers of this era, whether they were kings or emperors, liked to flaunt their enthusiasm for science and called themselves friends of science. Moreover, science can be transformed into productivity and enhance national strength. Now in Europe, it was also the Warring States Period.
From the Prussian-Danish War, to the Prussian-Austrian War, to the Franco-Prussian War, and then to... well, although almost all of them were fought by Prussia, it is certain that science determines the victory of the war and the rise and fall of the country. In this case, the rulers will naturally not rob scientists of their property for the sake of immediate gains, as that would cause public outrage.
But the rulers of South America don't have these concerns at all. They just grab whatever they like simply and violently, without any need to reason with you.
Arouse the indignation of scientists? Cause scholars to flee?
How many scholars are there in South America?
Do people care?
The most powerful people here are soldiers.
Will those soldiers reason with you?
"Alas, there is a reason why the country cannot develop..."
After figuring out the key, Zhu Xianhai calmed down.
Buenos Aires is nice, but it’s not the only choice!
Just like that, the chaotic mood became calm, and the confusion and worry about the future faded away from my heart.
The world is so big, there is no place where we cannot fit in.
Even so, there are still other hidden worries in my heart...
Suddenly, a charming voice sounded in his ears.
"It seems that you like lying in the yard very much,"
Leaning against the fence, Elizabeth asked curiously.
"Yes, because..."
Lying on the chair, Zhu Xianhai suddenly didn't know how to start. Could it be that he lived in a building with no yard? Or, even if he had a yard, he couldn't see such a clear and bright starry sky.
Turning his head to look at Elizabeth, who looked like an elf in the moonlight, Zhu Xianhai was silent for a moment and then smiled.
"Don't you think this night is beautiful ?"
Elizabeth didn't say anything with her big eyes flashing. She just brushed her hair gently and spoke softly.
"Yes, this night is beautiful, just like that day."
After saying this, Elizabeth felt a little regretful.
What is certain is that the music that day left a very deep impression on her heart, and even made her feel a little relieved.
It was also because of that piece of music that she had speculated about this man in her heart more than once. The unique temperament and talents he displayed made her feel that he must be a man with a story.
What would his identity be?
What kind of story does he have?
When a woman becomes curious about a man, it is often the beginning of her downfall.
Elizabeth, feeling somewhat confused, quickly changed the subject.
"Actually, you're not the first Chinese person I've met!"
"Oh? Not the first one?"
Zhu Xianhai's attention was immediately diverted, and he didn't even notice what she said.
"Have you seen other Chinese people? Are there other Chinese people in Buenos Aires?"
