(Thanks to the "Huaimencao" book friend for the tip!)
After Sean finished writing this article, he immediately sent it to the newspaper in the Holy City by expedited method.
Then he stored his luggage in the hotel and went straight to a famous hot spring in Northern Xinjiang Province, where he lingered for a week before returning to the hotel.
"Mr. Connelly! You are finally back!"
As soon as the waiter saw Sean appearing, he immediately shouted loudly, as if he was seeing his biological father.
"What's the matter, man?" Sean felt strange.
"Sir, many people came to visit you while you were away," the waiter replied.
"who?"
"Mr. Clive Woodley, the chairman of our Northern Xinjiang Province Brewery Guild, and the members of his guild, asked me to inform him as soon as you come back. Would you like to meet Mr. Woodley?"
"Thank you! Please inform him that I will be waiting for him in the room at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning. In addition, give me a few newspapers you can find, all of them this week." Sean seemed to understand, and gave the waiter a few first words.
Order's tip.
"Mr. Sean Connery's counterattack!"
"Philosophical quotes from the former Imperial Ensign!"
"An experiment that I claim I have done since I was five years old!"
"A novelist who speaks without shame!"
These are the headlines in the Holy City newspapers, some of which are even on the front page. Most of them contain the full text of Sean's response to Babia Dubi's sarcasm and comment on it, so as not to bring chaos to the world.
But this is not to be blamed on the newspaper editor, who made Sean claim to have done experiments when he was five years old, challenging the IQ of all relevant scholars.
And someone is already doing the experiment Xiao Si mentioned, but there is no result yet. Or there is a result, but because of the effectiveness of the newspaper, he has not read it yet.
"Mr. Connery, please excuse me!" Clive Woodley is an old gentleman and a viscount.
He is the largest winemaker in Northern Xinjiang Province and owns five wine estates.
There is a very strange logic in this era. Business activities that are directly aimed at profit, especially retail, are considered to be low-level businesses and incompatible with the status of a nobleman, even if the nobleman is too poor to support himself.
The rigid so-called traditional social norms believe that aristocrats should live off the land, even if the aristocrat can no longer maintain a minimum decent life.
This is also why civilian businessmen make their own fortunes, but let their children work hard to get higher education, and then strive to get an administrative position, or they should become people who live by their IQ, such as lawyers, doctors and other respected professions, in order to get rid of businessmen.
The reason for the identity.
But the wine industry is not included in this list. This is an industry that is considered to be tasteful and educated, full of elegance and sentiment, because the taste buds of workers in steel plants and coolies on docks cannot tell the difference between different brands of wines from different origins.
.
Some philosophers say that a bottle of wine contains more philosophy than all the books in the world.
"It's okay. I wonder if your Excellency, the Viscount, has any advice?" Sean was very polite.
Viscount Woodley looked a little hesitant: "I read some newspapers recently and Mr. Connery is very popular."
"Well, I actually just wrote a novel. When someone slaps me, I can't deliberately avoid it, I can only fight back. Your Excellency, Viscount, are you right?" Sean said.
The Viscount smiled and said: "Haha, I do have some hopes for Your Excellency."
"What about wine acid-proof technology?" Sean asked directly.
"I did come here for this. You know, our northern Xinjiang province is rich in grapes, and the resulting wine industry is the most important pillar industry in our northern Xinjiang province. But the most troublesome issue is the quality of the wine.
.Some people think it’s due to poor yeast quality, some think it’s a change in soil quality, some think it’s a degradation of grape varieties, and more people think it’s a problem with later preservation. If Mr. Connolly can solve this problem, we’ll be able to make wine.
All members of the industry will be grateful, and of course we will pay an appropriate price."
The Viscount didn't say too much. As for the problem of grapes turning sour, they had spent too much energy and money on it but couldn't solve it. He didn't quite believe in the young man in front of him, but he still had some hope because the benefits were huge.
.
"I think we can do a simple experiment." Sean said, "I wonder if there is a laboratory in Vengerberg?"
"We have it at the Vengerberg Normal University. I can lend it to you."
"All right!"
This experiment is actually not difficult. It was introduced in the middle school textbook in the previous life. With the help of a microscope, you can observe the difference between the yeast in the soured wine and the unsoured wine. The former produces lactic acid, which makes the wine sour, and the latter
Fermentation produces alcohol and does not require oxygen, as long as the yeast is alive, fermentation is a biological process, not a chemical process.
No one has done observation experiments similar to this. However, the scientific development of microorganisms has not been able to defeat the theory of spontaneous generation. If the debate continues, it will eventually lead to a debate on the origin of life.
However, Sean didn't do this experiment at all.
Because the next day he saw the latest Holy City newspaper that had been sold, saying that someone had discovered the difference in yeast based on Sean's tips, and suggested that if lactobacilli could be eliminated, the wine should be able to prevent the wine from turning sour.
Viscount Woodley and other brewers became more confident and saw hope, so they came to ask Shaw how to solve this problem.
"heating!"
"?"
"Heat the grape juice to 55~60 degrees, then seal it for three months, and then you can see the results. You can do more experiments, some with heating, some without heating, some with low heat, and some with high heat, because the temperature will also change
It affects the taste and quality. In short, you will find a suitable temperature." Sean said.
"So simple?" Brewers couldn't believe it.
"Bold assumptions, careful verification! You will only lose a few barrels of wine at most." Sean had no choice in the face of doubts.
Leaving these unhappy winemakers aside, Sean set out on his way back home again. Viscount Woodley was not even in the mood to invite him to his manor as a guest.
As he traveled through the Black Forest area, the discussion in the newspapers became more heated because more chemists, biologists, naturalists and many unrelated people participated in the discussion.
Generally speaking, this era is an era of great explosion of science and technology, with new discoveries being made every day. The social status of scholars is quite high, and intellectuals love to argue.
“The wine merchants of Wengerberg have decided to heat and sterilize the grape juice!”
"The Prime Minister and the Chancellor of Finance have successively stated that they are very concerned about the Wengerberg experiment. If it succeeds, it will support at least half a million more fruit farmers, brewing workers and related trade union personnel every year, and will also pay millions more taxes to the central empire...
…”
"Herdsmen in the three grassland provinces of Huotuluo, Jinwangbuha and Pasela are also very concerned, because Kang mentioned that fresh milk can also be sterilized in this way, but it is not clear whether it is the same way as wine..."
"Professor Bernal believed that heating sterilization was not invented for the first time. It had been used before. Kang just happened to read the relevant records somewhere. But he greatly appreciated Kang's 'bold assumptions and careful verification'
attitude, this is the spirit of science.”
"Professor Dolby, one of the protagonists in the wine incident, still believes that heating disinfection or sterilization only destroys the environment in which life naturally occurs. It is not the natural occurrence of life. He is wrong..."
"Scholars are paying attention to the actions of the wine merchants in Wengerburg, and some scholars are already doing relevant experiments themselves. They are using broth..."
