Lord of Industrialization

When a white line appeared on the eastern horizon, someone opened the door of Frederick's room and left in a hurry.

Two minutes later, Frederick, who was pretending to be asleep, woke up and gently patted Claire and her maid beside him.

This time Claire went out to look for migrating fish and brought a maid and several servants with her, who had previously been under house arrest in the castle.

Her maid was her father's illegitimate daughter and could definitely be trusted.

The other two people who were pretending to be asleep also opened their eyes, covered their mouths to make no sound, and looked at Frederick quietly.

Frederick stretched out his arms to hug Claire and wrote behind her: "Remember."

Claire nodded, sure that she could draw the woman last night.

Frederick continued to write: "Thank you, I will thank you very much. How do you want me to thank you?"

More than ten minutes later, the sound penetrated the bedding and bed board, passed into the mouth of a fist-sized copper pipe, and came out through a magic amplification array at the other end of the pipe.

The person on duty sighed, glanced at the clock on the table, and wrote on the paper:

6:26g: Lie down and don’t move.

Started at 6:27.

…

At nine o'clock in the morning, the monitor heard a normal conversation and immediately started recording.

Claire's coquettish voice came from the amplified magic circle: "There are beautiful women here coming to you in the past few days. I think you will abandon me immediately."

Then came Frederick's slightly obscene reply: "How could it be possible? None of them can compare to you. If anyone comes over in the future, let's just stay together like last night, okay?"

…

Little Louis frowned when he saw the report at noon and sighed that Archduke Wesson really knew how to play and actually liked to fight in groups.

At noon, Frederick and the others were having lunch in the room. The maids who came to deliver the food "inadvertently" rubbed their legs on Frederick's arm several times while serving food.

Frederick pretended to be provoked and stretched out his claws.

He was sure that the maids in the past two days were not serious people. They were all highly skilled and possessed special skills, but the same routines could still be seen, and they were obviously trained together.

So he became vigilant, and sure enough he found a copper pipe for sound transmission under the bedside.

If it were before, Frederick wouldn't have cared much about it, but after learning about the existence of an organization like the "Garden", he became wary. These people were most likely spies trained by the Kingdom of Gaul.

Frederick thought to himself that now that the war was about to begin, these spies were most likely sent to Archduke Suarez, but his sudden arrival was probably because the Gaul wanted to see who could seduce him and lurk around him in the future. .

It's just that Gaul didn't expect that Claire had a good memory and had adequate art skills.

So Frederick took action and sent a gift to Archduke Suarez when the time came.

The next day, old Louis saw the culprit who caused his illness.

There were many people outside the ward. In addition to little Louis and Frederick, there were also many nobles from the Kingdom of Gaul, as well as Eliud and Baron Ronno who came in a carriage.

Everyone outside was looking at the four petri dishes, two of which were only red. The control group used the blood of Prince Moritz; the other two were old Louis's, and the surface of the culture medium was covered with dark purple things. These scary things. The thing still has a metallic luster.

In the ward behind the transparent tape curtain, Old Louis looked at the petri dish in front of him for a while, then raised his head and asked Frank: "What is the name of this little thing?"

Frank replied: "Sorry, this is the first time we have seen this purple bacteria, and it doesn't have a name yet."

"Well..." Old Louis thought for a while, "Since it was discovered from me, let's name it after me."

Frank smiled and said: "The students in the future will thank Your Majesty, because the name is short and easy to remember, and it is much easier to memorize before the exam."

"Similarly, students often blame Frederick behind his back."

Old Louis was in a good mood and burst out laughing after hearing the joke.

Frank continued: "Your Majesty, we have another piece of good news."

"After experiments, it is now confirmed that the specific medicine we brought has a very good killing effect on this bacteria."

Old Louis said: "Then what are you waiting for? Let's start treatment."

"Didn't those good kids try it? They are still healthy now."

At this time, little Louis said outside: "Sir Frank, I agree to treat my father now."

Old Louis lowered his head and looked at the petri dish carefully again, and no one saw the displeasure flash across his face.

He was thinking, are my words useless? It's up to you to decide whether the doctor can cure her or not. If you say she can't cure her, I will die so that you can ascend the throne.

Royal creatures are very sensitive to power, and people become stubborn as they get older. It is not important what the prince meant when he said this. What is important is that the king thinks he means this.

No one knew that the king's psychology had changed a little, and everyone's attention was focused on the treatment that was about to begin.

Although Te'ao and others have had intravenous injections, they haven't seen many of them with their own eyes. People who come here for the first time want to see it, maybe they can use it for themselves and their families in the future.

Florence brought the medicine and equipment and began to give old Louis an intravenous injection.

When Frederick watched her carefully using cotton swabs dipped in alcohol to disinfect old Louis' skin, he was thinking about other things. Recently, he was about to write down the method of making glucose, only to discover a problem. These days, the iodine element has not been produced. This word doesn't even exist in the dictionary.

These days, we can only burn seaweed. We filter the seaweed ash solution and add acid and oxidant. Now we have sulfuric acid. The only oxidant is iron sulfate, which should be enough. Finally, heat it to sublimate the iodine and then condense it for collection.

He had arranged several key tasks before coming out this time. Burning kelp and photography were some of them, as well as electrolyzing water into gas.

Now Frederick felt the benefit of having so many talented people under his command. When he had ideas, he handed them over to his staff for research, and he made next instructions based on the feedback.

If you have to manage both government affairs and scientific research, and your energy is limited, it will be like a blind man breaking off corns - breaking off one piece and throwing away the other.

Frederick didn't speak much today, but little Louis kept talking to him from the sidelines. In the past, he used every compliment he received from other nobles to this purpose.

The people around didn't think there was anything wrong. Firstly, Grand Duke Wesson was about to save the king. Secondly, who could guarantee that he would not get injured or sick in the future? And thirdly, many people also wanted to buy some medicine for themselves. Be prepared to save your life. If His Highness hadn't kept talking so much that no one had a chance, his flattery would have been even louder.

Little Louis also asked if there were some injured and infected people in the military camp. Could they also be cured?

Frederick naturally agreed, which attracted a lot of thanks from the surrounding nobles.

Old Louis quietly looked at the medicine dripping from the dripper on the infusion tube, feeling more and more dissatisfied with his son. He even wondered if he would secretly ask Wesson to do something to prevent him from recovering. ?

Old Louis and Frank talked about a lot of medical knowledge in the past two days, and one sentence was particularly impressive: Many treatments are based on who dies first, the patient or the disease.

At that time, he felt that this sentence was also useful in governing the country. Now that he thinks about it, he is old. Although his condition has improved, it makes sense that his body cannot support it first.

Moreover, that boy asked Wesson to treat other wounded people. If they were cured but he died, then it would obviously be his own problem.

Old Louis suddenly remembered something and turned to Frank: "I heard from Theo and the others that they would feel drunk and have a garlic taste in their mouth. Why didn't I feel it?"

Little Louis listened outside and was worried that he would blame Frank, so he immediately helped explain: "Father, you are older and your health is not as good as theirs, so your acceptance of medicines is different."

"Put a little less potion for now, then increase it if you don't feel any discomfort."

"Although the effect will be slower, it is very stable."

Old Louis didn't say anything else, but that "effect will be slow" made me very uncomfortable. It seemed that I was going to die in front of those bacteria.

Suspicions of neighbors stealing axes can happen everywhere. Once people believe something, they will look for evidence everywhere to prove it.

Old Louis thought of another thing. When Earl Green came this morning, he mentioned that that brat had been sending women to Wesson every day these days.

Those women were carefully trained by the royal family and were good at pleasing men. They were going to be sent to the Kingdom of Tarago to serve as spies for Grand Duke Suarez in the future.

There are rumors in the world that a woman who benefits from Wesson may not be his lover, but becoming his lover will definitely bring endless benefits.

Old Louis can be sure that there must be a huge exchange of interests behind that brat's efforts to make someone become Wesson's lover. For the prince, what greater benefit can there be than becoming a king.

This was not possible. Old Louis felt that Frederick must be won over.

To win over people, you must do what they like. Everyone knows that Archduke Wesson is not only lustful but also greedy for money.

Old Louis thought for a while, and he probably couldn't get the money that would impress him, such as cash, so the only thing was real estate.

The original plan was that Frederick would come over this year to participate in the knights' joust. After winning, there would be an excuse to give him a noble title as a way of thanking him for the friendship bonds that brought huge wealth to the royal family.

The reason why Frederick wanted the title was not because he had a large area of ​​cultivated land in the lowlands, so he could get it in his hands justifiably. The most valuable real estate these days was fertile land.

Old Louis made a decision in his mind, turned around and called out a bunch of names, first the Minister of Heraldry who was in charge of the nobles, then the Minister of State and other important ministers.

The several ministers who were named were watching from the outside and immediately stood in a row outside the transparent curtain.

Old Louis said to the ministers: "Friedrich von Wesson came to treat me despite the hardships and dangers of the journey. It was a great achievement. When I recovered, he was canonized as the Duke of Lugang. Dr. Frank, Professor Friedrich, Professor Manuel, Matron Florence and others will be rewarded with one thousand gold coins, and the others will be rewarded with three hundred gold coins. You go and prepare."

Someone noticed keenly that the king did not call him the prince, and emphasized that he was recovering from illness. Is there a problem?
