Chapter 912 London

London, Tulip Palace.

This is the palace where Queen Vitomia lives and works. Early in the morning, Prime Minister Murphy arrived here early.

"Ms. Millie, please tell the Queen that the guests from the Great Yu Kingdom have arrived, and now the members of the parliament are waiting for her. "When the palace maid butler appeared, Murphy couldn't wait to say, because in his opinion, this matter is very important.

Before Millie could speak, a graceful woman in a dress came out of the room, and she was Queen Victoria who inherited the throne at the age of sixteen.

"Vissue Murphy, I haven't forgotten this important thing. Let's see what the scientific level of the Great Yu Kingdom is like?"

Vitomia has pure golden hair, her fair face is like winter snow, and her red lips are as bright as fire. Every time Murphy sees her, she can't help but be in a daze.

"Yes, Her Majesty the Queen." Murphy retracted his eyes. He had a family now, otherwise he would have no doubt that he would surrender under the skirt of this beautiful queen, just like many young nobles in London now.

The white dome carriage belonging to the Queen had already stopped in front of the castle gate, and Murphy got on the horse and followed the Queen to the House of Lords on Benjamin Street, where the British royal family, nobles and MPs were waiting for them.

"Virsted Murphy, are all the scholars belonging to France really dead?" Entering the clean bluestone streets of London, Vitomia remembered the news she just received.

Britain is too far from the Great Chongqing Kingdom. When she learned about this, more than half a year had passed.

"I can't be sure, it's hard to believe what the French guy said. After all, our relationship is not harmonious at all." Murphy frowned.

After the French Revolution, French capital merchants ruled the country. They used the steam engine technology stolen from Britain. France's industry developed rapidly and its national strength became stronger day by day.

For Britain, this is definitely not good news, so the two countries are constantly in friction, and France's intervention in the North American war has put the two countries in a freezing point. If it weren't for the common interests in Asia, they wouldn't have chosen to cooperate.

"So, it's really bad news that the scholar from Great Chongqing may be alive." Vitomia stood up and looked at the black smoke column outside London. This was the production of factories using steam engines.

After hiding it for seven or eight years, the steam engine is no longer a secret to Europe, especially the Dutch bought the reciprocating steam engine from the Great Chongqing Kingdom, which made their hard-working and confidential technology cheap.

So in order to earn the surplus value of the steam engine, the House of Parliament decided to sell steam engines to other European countries. Anyway, they will be able to get it from the Great Chongqing Kingdom sooner or later. Instead of doing so, it is better to make money by themselves.

And threatened by the Great Chongqing Kingdom, those who had originally opposed the use of steam engines also shut up because Europe encountered a real enemy in the world for the first time, and this country was already using steam engines to build an industrial country.

So how could the noble Anglo-Saxons lose to the indigenous peoples in Asia? They have a more solid industrial foundation, more talents, and a more open academic atmosphere.

So in this atmosphere, the use of steam engines is unimpeded, and factories with black smoke columns appear in every city in the UK, and the industrial products they produce are also increasing day by day.

The only regret is that they found that this was not enough, because the Dutch's experience in the Great Chongqing Kingdom really surprised them.

When I passed by the Thames, Murphy looked at the bustling streets. Today, the sun is as vibrant as the sun in England all day long. Everyone, the British will be confident in the future until they encounter setbacks in Asia.

"This is indeed a helpless thing, but at least we have a living scholar." Murphy smiled.

The two arrived at the House of Lords while talking.

At this time, the British royal family, nobles and parliamentarians had already fallen in. Two Dayu people were standing in the middle of the House of Lords. At this time, more than a dozen famous British scientists were gathering around the two to ask about something.

"Her Majesty, what a good day today."

A slightly older and white-haired nobleman stood up, Duke Paston, now a foreign minister.

"It's a good day indeed." Vitomia smiled. She sat in her own position. After years of fighting with the Conservative Party, she now has gained real power in Britain through the Liberal Party.

Duke Paston was her uncle, and he occupied an important position in the Liberal Party, and she always valued him very much.

"Her Majesty, we figured out the shells and rifles of the Great Yu Kingdom a month ago. I have to say that their design is amazing. Just a change in the shape of the bullet gives the musket a stronger power, and this shell is even more exquisite."

After Paston, a middle-aged man stood up. He came from the British Association for the Promotion of Science and Technology, and they were responsible for cracking the technology from the Great Yu Kingdom.

"Baron Cordia, I think bullets are a problem, but rifling is another problem." Murphy shrugged. Cordia has a high status in the British academic world, and the scientist, known as an all-rounder, designed a series of machinery.

"Of course, this was difficult before, but with the steam engine, rifling is no longer a problem, and I think we should replace the old-fashioned flintlock rifle," Codia said.

"We cannot be left behind by France and the Netherlands. It is said that the Netherlands has purchased a large number of muskets from the Great Chongqing Kingdom. What makes us most embarrassed is that the warships of the Great Chongqing Kingdom arrived in Europe in the name of escort and returned openly. Shouldn't the ocean be the backyard of our British Royal Navy?" Vitoria looked serious.

He looked at Kodia, "I'm afraid we are already behind the Great Chongqing Kingdom in science and technology, but now we still have a chance to catch up. It depends on you, for the benefit of the British Empire."

"For the benefit of the empire," everyone said in unison.

Now they face an obvious problem, that is, a powerful country in the East is rising, and the most fatal thing is that they have the ability to sail far away from Europe.

Vitomia nodded slightly, and she looked at the two traitors from the Great Chongqing Kingdom in front of her and said, "As long as you can teach us the technology, I am willing to give you titles, castles and manors in the name of the Queen of England. The greater the changes you bring to Britain, the more you will get."

"Thank you, Her Majesty." The students, one tall and one short, said gratefully. For their own interests, they betrayed their own country, witnessed Britain's prosperity and strength, and their shame gradually left them. Now they are eager to integrate into this brand new country.
