Chapter 4 Celebrities

Sean Connery is a celebrity, at least for now.

So Andrew Johnson sold the news to reporters, and sold it to many newspapers at the same time, which raised a lot of money for his steamship.

That night, Sean's room was surrounded by a group of reporters.

Only then did Xiao Si learn that preliminary results had been obtained from the wine experiments conducted by the winemakers of Vengerburg in Northern Xinjiang Province. They found that according to the sterilization method test provided by Sean, after the grape juice was treated at a temperature between 55 degrees and 60 degrees,

Sure enough, there was no sourness, and the taste was unexpectedly improved.

Although the experiment has only been conducted for more than a month, which is only half of the three-month time span proposed by Sean, the brewers can't wait to announce the results.

This news is sensational. The brewers don’t care about the great scientific significance of this. They only care about the huge increase in their income. They call this treatment method the Kangshi sterilization method or the Kangshi sterilization method.

.

"Mr. Connery, the brewers of Wengerburg have announced that they will make a gold statue equal to your height and give it to you to express their gratitude to you. What do you think? Oh my god, this is

What a huge amount of gold!" reporters asked.

"No, no, I don't know. If it can be beneficial to the economy of Northern Xinjiang Province and create more jobs and tax revenue, as a citizen, I feel very honored. Everything else is external." Sean said very much.

He replied humbly.

"Mr. Connelly, can we use the Kang's sterilization method on milk and goat milk in pastoral areas?"

"Of course it's possible, but again, make bold assumptions and verify carefully. I suggest they do an experiment to find the appropriate temperature for sterilization, and then cool it quickly after heating. As for what temperature is better for cooling to preserve, experimental data is needed.

In fact, the experimental cycle of Vengerberg is still a little short, they are too impatient."

The reporters laughed, and Sean continued: "Actually, I value the application of similar disinfection methods in medicine, especially in surgery. You can discuss it with the doctors. Too many people die from wound infections every year.

, the premise is that we admit the existence of bacteria.

In fact, if we expand our thinking, those infectious diseases that bring terrible death are not curses, but tiny organisms that are invisible to our naked eyes. If we can kill these small organisms, infectious diseases will not break out on a large scale.

"

"My God, Mr. Connolly, your conclusion is so shocking that I have to return to the newspaper office immediately."

The reporters all disappeared in the blink of an eye, and Sean was stunned.

However, the next day's newspaper surprised him even more:

“The nemesis of infectious diseases—Mr. Sean Connery claims to have found a way to eliminate infectious diseases!”

"Second Lieutenant Connelly, a scientific genius, confessed: In fact, I don't understand science."

"Sean Connery: Secrets That Have to Be Told!"

"Kang's disinfection method: worth 200 kilograms of gold."

Clickbait, proper clickbait.

After breakfast at the Golden Oak Hotel, Sean went to see the representative office of Bass Machinery Manufacturing Company in the Holy City.

As part of the "after-sales service", Sean was invited by his boss Bess to "guide the work".

The representative office is on Campbell Street. The name of this street comes from Campbell-Marken, a famous scholar 800 years ago. He can be said to be the enlightener of modern science in Europe. He founded the heliocentric theory and broke the shackles of religion.

"Hello, my friend!" Hammer-Bess happened to be here, and he gave Sean an overly warm hug.

Bass's factory is located in an industrial area in Gyeonggi Province. It is just a place where he socializes with dignitaries. He spends at least half of his time here every year.

This is a manor-style building with a garden at the front and back. A small banquet can be held downstairs. The second floor is the office and exhibition room. The third floor is the temporary residence of Boss Bess in the Holy City.

"Mr. Bass, nice to meet you." Seeing Bass, Sean seemed to see gold coins, although he later gained more when he wiped out the Benjamin Tang gang.

"Are you so happy because you still miss my check?" Bess looked very happy.

"I'm just happy if there's nothing going on." Sean smiled and said, "How can I be happy?"

"As you know, my shooting competition will be held next week. The applicants will gather together. The upper-class people in the Holy City are paying attention. Even His Highness the Second Prince will come to watch." Bess said.

"Big bonus?" Sean asked.

"No, no, Sean, you are not a nobleman or a banker. You don't understand the thoughts of those people. According to your idea, I exaggerated. No, the publicity was too influential and became the holy city in the near future.

The most fashionable topic in the world.”

Sean shrugged: "So what?"

"They don't care about what they really get, they only care about having participated, and more importantly, when others mention this new thing, they are qualified to proudly say, oh, I am also one of the players, but it is a pity that I did not perform well.

Or I could tell you in a nonchalant tone, oh, I was sitting next to His Royal Highness, and I was talking to His Highness about the latest works of the musician Dulles."

Bess smiled and said, he wanted to pat Sean on the shoulder, but found that he had to weigh his feet before giving up, and said in a very heavy tone:

"Look, this is the upper class!"

"Are you against the nobility?" Sean asked.

"No, no, I love nobility as much as I love gold coins, and I hope that my descendants will become nobility. Because they are privileged people. Of course, in many cases, this kind of privilege needs to be maintained by the meager property, and they have to suffer the consequences."

Bess said, "Sean, as a friend, please work hard. I am very optimistic about you, especially since your name has appeared many times in the newspapers recently."

"I think I may be a public enemy to some people now." Sean said.

"Haha, it's good that you are self-aware. However, fame can be a kind of talisman, not to mention that you are the recipient of the Grand Dragon Medal. Although this honor will not directly bring you money and status, it will also make you

Get some conveniences. Sean, don’t underestimate yourself, you are much luckier than most of your peers!”

"Thank you! You seem to be very touched?" Sean asked.

"I was born in the western province of Bourlians, where the land is barren and transportation is inconvenient. When my grandfather was young, the noble lords still had powerful and irresistible power. Without their permission, you can't move, no.

You can't decide what crops to grow on the land, and you can't decide who to sell them to. You can even grind flour in the lord's mill and pay a hefty royalty fee.

Fortunately, the Sauron family became emperor, and the war against the church actually severely hit the nobles. From then on, they no longer directly participated in administration and lost control over the peasants, but they were still the privileged ones, and most of them

Time still determines the rules of this world. Sean, remember, privileged is not a derogatory term in Europa's dictionary, but a complimentary term."

"But wealth is also a kind of power, like you, the boss of a machinery company." Sean complimented.

"Yes, especially when the court needs to borrow money. So this is a very good era. Personal struggle can change the situation of oneself and future generations, and allow oneself to have some privileges. This is the same for me and for you." Boss Bess

He smiled and said, "Come, I'll take you to my exhibition room on the second floor!"

The second floor displays a variety of muskets, most of which are replicas, muskets, matchlocks, portal guns, spring-loaded flintlocks, muskets, various shotguns, carbines, trumpet guns, pistols, and of course the indispensable ones.

The products of Bess Machinery Manufacturing Company are placed in the most eye-catching position.

Among them, the Bass Company produced the most dueling pistols.

"In the past, nobles liked to use duels to resolve disputes. In the age of knights, they relied on swordsmanship, and later on, muskets were used. These dueling pistols are usually in pairs. The more exquisite the better. For nobles, if they have a pair of exclusive custom-made

Duel pistols are also a symbol of status, and they are more important than food. Unfortunately, this situation is rare now, so Bass Company has to transform."

"I guess it's because with today's firearms, if you shoot in a duel at close range, there is a high probability that both of you will die." Sean joked.

"That's right. Since the introduction of gunpowder from Daxia, human warfare has changed. This chemical power has changed the course of history. The Sauron family's army relied on large-scale equipment of muskets to win the throne.

An untrained child can kill a powerful knight who has experienced many battles. This is really a great invention. Everyone is equal before firearms."

Bess commented.

"I like this kind of equality, but how did the Xia people discover or invent gunpowder?" Sean asked.

"Bible."

"Bible?"

"It is said that the gods sent oracles, which were recorded in a Bible by our ancestors. They are all filled with the wisdom of gods. It is a pity that stupid humans cannot read the words above, and only a few people can barely decipher a little. This is us humans

At the beginning of civilization, the writing of the Xia people and the writing of us Europeans all came from the Bible."

"It's such a pity. It would be nice if I could explain it." Sean thought thoughtfully.

"That is a matter for scholars. Mr. Sean Connery, as the owner of Bass Machinery Manufacturing Company, I solemnly invite you to participate in the competition at the suburban shooting range next week."

"Spectators or players?" Sean asked.

"If you want to stand out, then enter the competition, and you will have a spot." Bess thought for a while and said, "Although I am very confident in the latest Bess rifled guns, those contestants are not vegetarians. Most of the guns in their hands are

They have all been modified by skilled craftsmen, the barrels have the best rifling, and the bullets are also specially customized. This is something that the upper class, especially the nobles, are passionate about. Are you sure you want to participate? You must know that on such occasions, civilians will

receive special attention."

"I have nothing to do anyway." Sean shrugged.

Bess stared at Sean for a while, then suddenly said:

"Accurate shooting does not reflect the excellence of Bess' new rifle very well. After seeing you, I suddenly thought that we should hold a rapid-fire competition at the same time. What I produce is not a hunting rifle, but a weapon for killing enemies on the battlefield. Speed ​​is also the key.

.”

"I totally agree!"

"Sorry, I have to deal with this right away

Sorry, I'm sorry!"

"Huh? You won't treat me to a big dinner?"
