Chapter 754 What Yuzui Said

Culture needs to be passed on to the next generation. During the Renaissance, Florence and Venice were two republics. Now everyone is Italian. The ship Michelangelo, which conducts scientific research in the waters of Venice, belongs to the University of Florence. In addition to salvaging sunken ships, it There is also a "brother", the Plato, which conducts anthropological research on Lazaretto Island.

This is an ancient city with a lot of knowledge worth exploring and discovering. Some funds were allocated through donations from the Venice Archaeological Club to establish some academic summer camps, including architecture, oceanography, history, fine arts, anthropology, etc., for children The summer becomes colorful.

The people in the club seem to be good people, with Italian-style cheerfulness and hospitality. It is really hard to see that there is a poisonous snake in the Garden of Eden among these people.

"Who are these people?" A bald middle-aged man with a beer belly asked.

"Last time I told you to bring someone here, and it was her." Gianluca couldn't hide his excitement, and showed Monica in front of him.

"Oh, hello, hello," the man said, "I'm Diego Vecchio, the captain of this ship, nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you too, Captain. This is my cousin. These two are Mr. and Mrs. Smith from England. They like the culture of Venice very much."

"Oh, welcome, come aboard," said Vizio cheerfully. "We're scanning the ocean floor with sonar."

Pomona looks at the research vessel, with green paint on the deck and a giant robotic arm, Alessandro and the sailors tethering the Hurricane together, compared to Michelangelo The number is not much bigger.

There was a conference room on the ship, and the Adriatic sea gleaming in the sun looked out of the window. It looked beautiful and peaceful, and there was really no sinister thing going on.

According to a mermaid who can speak human language, due to years of overfishing, there are very few fish in the western Mediterranean, and the mermaids are forced to migrate to the eastern Mediterranean. On the way here, they often saw refugees wanting to go to Greece. Their boats were easily capsized, and adults and children sank to the bottom of the sea together.

It is rare for mermaids to save people. Not every mermaid can save the prince like the little mermaid. Many lives die in the sea every day. They are used to it, but they still sing sad songs to send those poor People's last leg.

She doesn't care about the corruption of Muggle bureaucrats, wizards can't intervene in Muggle wars, Severus just wants to weaken Gringotts controlled by goblins, and Muggles are also very good at keeping secrets.

It is very difficult to find out the whereabouts of the Knights Templar now. It is like looking for a needle in a haystack. You have to find clues from a huge amount of information.

Criminal investigation is actually very boring and requires patience and meticulousness, so she didn't bother to look through the "account books" left by the Ocean Empire, which Muggles needed to solve by themselves.

That chance is very slim. People nowadays don’t like to read books, let alone record the trivial things in other people’s lives, but human beings must have their motivations for certain behaviors. If this motivation is not enough, then they will not do it. Venice island country The terrain gave them a way to rule overseas colonies. For them, those colonies were islands one after another, and they needed ships to go there. Therefore, there was a Venetian navy across the Mediterranean Sea.

The United Kingdom is also an island country, and the Venice model is very suitable for it. France has to border other countries on land. "Bordering" is a good thing and a bad thing. Switzerland is pro-Germany, and it can be "neutral" with Germany's protection. Italy wants to be neutral, but its military strength is not enough. In the minds of many people, it is still the Axis power, which is written in history textbooks, and no one has written about the fact that it finally defected and became a victorious country. It is difficult for people who have received "education" to turn this corner Come.

It is also a skill to follow the wind and steer the rudder. The sail is based on the direction of the wind, and the Italians have this style.

At this moment, heavy footsteps came from upstairs, and the metal stairs made a crisp sound like horseshoes, and then an old man wearing glasses and looking very scholarly appeared in front of Pomona.

This person is the "Father of the Moses Project", Glovani Masaku, who is also the head of the New Venice Group.

Looking at him, Pomona thought of the bones left by the Egyptian workers by the Suez Canal. Ferdinand was Said's teacher, but he made his students become himself.

The point is that he has no ability, but he is very successful. He not only harmed the Egyptians but also the Panamanians. There are bones everywhere he goes, only his own wallet is getting bigger and bigger.

Isn't it afraid of going to hell if you earn this kind of money stained with human blood?

She was really not in the mood to socialize with such "smart people", so she walked into that conference room.

There are many posters hanging on the wall, many of them are about the golden ship of the Governor of Venice, and there are also many Renaissance buildings. Aristotle is not only a philosopher, but also an architect and engineer. Da Vinci is a painter and engineer.

Some people say that after the dams are built, the Venetian lagoon and canals may become a stagnant pool of stagnant water, which is even more stinky than it is now, but human beings will always find a way to solve it. The key is whether they have the heart to think about it.

Some people see gunpowder and think of fireworks and romantic dates, while others think of bombardment, using force to force the other party to submit, without accepting any objection. A woman will not submit to this kind of man.

That's why Venice cast a female guerrilla.

"Good morning," said a man.

Pomona turned her head and saw that it was Glovani Massaku.

"Ciao," she said in Italian.

"You don't want to see the sonar?"

"I'm not interested in that," Pomona said deadpan.

"Then why did you get on the boat?" he said with a smile on his waist.

"How much do you know about Dujiangyan in China? Mr. Masaku." Pomona said, "Many people said that your Moses project would be troublesome to maintain in the future. That project has been in use for more than two thousand years."

"This is the sea, not an inland river."

"But the Minjiang River also has a flood season. When there is too much flood, it diverts to other rivers. They use local materials, bamboo and pebbles, which are much cheaper than what you use."

"That's a good idea," he said with a forced smile, "but this project will create a lot of jobs."

"They are businessmen, not workers. I don't mean to discriminate against manual workers, but I think the Venetians should use their brains more, instead of using their muscles like the Crusaders." She said a little tiredly, "That's too feudal. "

"Are you a communist?" he asked warily.

"Why do you say that?"

"Hand-milling produces a society headed by feudalism, and steam milling produces a society headed by industrial capitalists. I have also read Marx's book." Masaku said, "Do you know how Mussolini came to power?"

"Are you a communist?" asked Pomona.

Masaku laughed.

"Let's talk about something else. If you use Dujiangyan to deal with the Venice flood, what do you want to do?"

"The most important thing in Dujiangyan is the water diversion fish mouth, which distinguishes the normal water volume from the flood. How do you think the flood drainage design should be designed?"

"You know that Moses plans to have secret passages."

"If you want to repair the house, you must first repair the sewer pipes. The flood in Venice is in winter. This season should be the dry season. How about the hydrological observation data?"

"Rain." Masaku shrugged. "I can't stop it."

"It's like the Bible, right? God told Noah to build the ship because he was going to destroy the world," Pomona said. "This rain is the end of Venice."

The heavy rain fell on the ground continuously for forty days and nights, and the flood submerged the earth for 150 days. The highest mountain was submerged by the flood, and all the creatures on the land died. Only Noah's family and the life in the ark survived.

After 220 days, the Ark stopped near Mount Ararat, and the flood waters began to recede. After another 40 days, the top of Mount Ararat was revealed. At this time Noah released a crow, but it did not find any land to live on. Seven days later, Noah sent out the dove again, and this time it immediately brought back the olive branch. At this time, Noah knew that the flood had dispersed.

"It was a miracle that Moses got the Hebrews out of Egypt, leader, don't screw up the miracle," Pomona said.

"I'll do what I can," Marcusa said. "May I know your name, ma'am?"

"I'm married. You can call me Mrs. Prince." She said softly. "You can learn from the experience of the East, sir."

"I'll think about it," he said, and turned to leave.
