Some lock pictures suddenly appeared in the group.

[American Yingzong Cleveland: His Majesty Louis XVI, in order to collect information about His Majesty Yuwen, I also collected Eastern locks. These are the locks they commonly use. One thousand seventeen to eight hundred years ago, the iron three-pin locks of the Han Dynasty were already widely used in the East. 】

[The history of their locks is also very rich. The earliest lock they recorded was a wooden lock mounted on a wooden frame five thousand years ago. It was considered the first lock in the world. Later, after development, there were three palm locks, three palm locks, and three palm locks. Dao hoop shrimp tail lock, four-open lock, five-open lock, dragon and phoenix lock, dual element lock, maze lock, etc...]

Zhu Houzhao was surprised. He never expected that a simple lock could have so many historical connections.

This time, he felt Cleveland's intentions.

I didn't expect that they could appear here.

[American Yingzong Cleveland: After talking about Eastern locks, let’s talk about our Western locks. What we can trace back here is the Egyptian wooden bolt lock in 2000 BC. Similarly, locks are needed because of social development and increasing wealth. We did not have locks until the Middle Ages, and locks gradually spread to civilians and entered private houses. In comparison, locks in the East have been popularized almost since the Shang Dynasty. It can be seen that the wealth of Eastern societies was greater than that of our West in the early days, and their private ownership development was much earlier than ours. 】

[The first record we can find here is that you love lock making, so you have provided some relatively clear context for the history of European locks. In today's French Museum, there is also an exhibition of the locks you left behind...]

[This is the carp lock, squirrel lock, newt lock made by you...]

[However, you just treat locks as a hobby...]

[In your time in 1778, an Englishman applied for a patent for a double-action ball lock...]

[In 1818, a man named Jeremiah Chubb further developed the double-action ball lock by incorporating a spring into the mechanism. 】

[An Italian also invented the safety lock and obtained a patent. He also offered a reward of 200 pounds, claiming that no one would open it within 50 years. 】

[Another point is that in 1848, our American citizen Yael invented the tumbler lock using a cylindrical pin... This kind of lock has now become popular all over the world and is the most commonly used lock in the world.jpg]

[Of course, these are just traditional craft locks. 】

[For the sake of national defense and confidentiality, we in the United States have combined the development of science and technology. Some scientists are trying to invent magnetic locks, voice-controlled locks, and ultrasonic locks. Of course, these are the secrets of commercial companies and I can’t get them for the time being... But I think these , should be enough? 】

The group was very quiet. No one expected that Cleveland would take the opportunity to teach them a history lesson on locks.

[American Taizu Washington: God, how can a small lock have such a rich history? I feel more knowledgeable! 】

[Meixuanzong Jackson: The world is developing very fast, and there are some things that, to be honest, I can’t keep up with. 】

[ Mercer Lincoln: Yes, President Jackson is right. Even a small lock, who would have thought it would have such a profound historical heritage... No, it is because of the blessing of the historical heritage of the East that we know, Does this lock actually have such a long history? 】

These people were conquered by this narrative method of historical perspective, and felt that they had a different way of thinking about locks.

"They Westerners have research records on this kind of thing, and they know about the locks all over the world?"

Zhu Houzhao originally thought he was just watching the fun, but Cleveland actually learned about the development history of locks around the world.

This made Zhu Houzhao see another side!
That is, how strong is the United States where Cleveland is located?
He could collect and search this kind of trivial and even inconspicuous information within ten days.

Can Daming do it? Can Jinyiwei Qian Ning wait and do it...

Jinyiwei should be able to do it, but at most they can only collect how many locks there are on the market, and then asking them to summarize the historical development of locks will probably embarrass them.

What's more, this is a collection of information on locks all over the world!

Ten days of collecting the history and information of locks around the world also formed a history science course.

This information collection and processing ability is terrible, right?
Can Tang Bohu and the others do it?
Zhu Houzhao felt the shortcomings of Ming Dynasty, which made him a little worried. Ming Dynasty seemed to lack this kind of people.

No, this system is missing!
Zhu Houzhao recorded the three key words of Xiasuo, the history of locks, and the world with some caution.

Palace of Versailles, Louis XVI's Hardware Room.

Louis XVI looked at the various lock pictures in the group, as if he had seen a peerless beauty, and his blood flow accelerated.

"Garman, stop what you are doing! You, you know what happened to me!"

"Lots and lots of locks! It's incredible...a simple lock can have such a huge historical civilization!"

"Chinese lock! American lock... This is so wonderful! There are so many locks in the world!"

Louis XVI couldn't hide his excitement and couldn't wait to share his excitement and joy with the coppersmith Garman. In order to make locks, Louis XVI not only opened a hardware room in the Palace of Versailles, but also invited the famous French coppersmith Garman at a high price. You can enter and leave the Palace of Versailles at will.

They were congenial companions, and Louis XVI spent more time with Garmain than he did with his wife.

"Your Majesty...has God given you another inspiration for locks?"

The coppersmith Garman was very cooperative with Louis XVI. Even if Louis XVI did not perform in kind, he would not question it. Because skilled workers have always been very dull, they usually spend a long time immersed in their own craftsmanship.

"Yes! God has given me a lot of inspiration for making locks...wait a minute...what are voice-activated locks and magnetic-controlled locks? I have to ask God quickly!"

After Louis XVI vented his emotions, he quickly returned to the chat group, and Cleveland also instilled in him the development concept of future technological locks!

[Louis XVI: My God! Oh, God! Cleveland! You taught me a good lesson, and today I realized that the history of locks is so rich! It’s incredible! You are absolutely amazing and I love this gift so much! 】

Louis XVI made no secret of his shock among the crowd, and his knowledge was broadened.

This is the best gift for a locksmith.

[American Yingzong Cleveland: Your Majesty Louis XVI, you don’t need to praise me too much. Thanks for the development of science and technology, thanks for the establishment of the radio station, and thanks for the integration of the world. I just stood on the shoulders of giants and spent a little time collecting and summarizing these things. It is nothing. This is not considered a gift either...]

[Meliezu Louis XVI: This doesn’t count! Wait, don't talk about other things first... What kind of locks are the electromagnetic locks and voice-activated locks you mentioned? Why do I feel like I’ve never heard it before? Is this the future of lock development? What else can be done with locks? 】

Louis XVI paid no attention to Cleveland's modesty and focused directly on future locks.

This issue also attracted Zhu Houzhao's attention.

[American Yingzong Cleveland: Electromagnetic lock, well, how should I put it! This is not easy for you to understand. Let me talk about the voice-activated lock. The voice-activated lock... is to invent a lock that does not require a key. But this lock can recognize your voice. Before you get to it, just say "open the door" and the lock will open automatically. Other people's voices, not so much. Anyway... the concept is to use your own voice as a key. 】

[American Taizu Washington: Huh? Treat the sound as a key... This, doesn't this lock come to life? 】

[American Taizong Jefferson: This, this is also okay? 】

[Mercier Lincoln: Those scientists really dare to think! 】

There is no doubt that everyone is shocked by the concept of technology, and other presidents can only shout six.

[Louis XVI: The voice is the key? How can it be? How is it possible to have such a lock? 】

Louis XVI was shocked again by the concept of keys. This was an inspiration that he could not even think of.

[Emperor Zhou Xuan Yuwen Yun: This is a bit exaggerated! Opening the door with a sound, isn't it easy? Every time I go somewhere, someone will say "His Majesty has arrived," and the door will open... Isn't this another sense in which the sound is used as a key? 】

Zhu Houzhao was also shocked, but he wanted to be tough.

Because this is all he can understand.

[Meliezu Louis XVI: Yes, there is nothing strange about the sound of unlocking the door! 】

Louis XVI didn't want to expose his ignorance, and he couldn't figure out how to use the voice as a key.

[American Yingzong Cleveland: Haha, your majesties, your concept of a key is not a sound! But power! Power is naturally the most versatile key in the world and can open any lock in the world. The concept I'm talking about is our own voice, telling it to open the door to a mechanical lock, and it will open. It's technology! 】

[Meixuanzong Jackson: Agree! No matter how powerful the lock is in the world, it is no match for the key of power! 】

[Mercy Lincoln: Haha, interesting and interesting! Indeed, when you say this, I feel that no matter how powerful the lock is, it is useless! 】

[Emperor Xuan of Zhou Dynasty Yuwen Yun: You are awesome! 】

Zhu Houzhao was also convinced.

[American Yingzong Cleveland: So... Your Majesty Louis XVI, you saw it. Power is the master key. Even if you make the most exquisite lock in the world, what's the use? Can it lock your life away? 】

[American Yingzong Cleveland: I have prepared a real gift for you, a lock and key that can really save you. Are you interested? 】

The topic returned to gifts again. It seemed that Cleveland was addicted to saving people, and he also wanted to save Louis XVI.

[Meliezu Louis XVI: This... can you tell me? 】

Louis XVI didn't expect that after talking about the lock, he also talked about saving him.

Zhu Houzhao also became a little interested.

[American Yingzong Cleveland: Okay, first of all, I want to ask you, what era are you in now? How old are you now? 】

Louis XVI felt even weirder. As soon as this question came out, others were also curious. Because Louis XVI never said where he was at in time.

[Meliezu Louis XVI: I am just thirty years old now, what’s wrong? I remember that they once said in Washington that I would die at the age of 38, which is still eight years away. Isn’t it still too early? 】

Louis XVI also had to face it.

Eight more years to go.

you can!

Everyone was convinced. This guy didn't look panic at all. It turned out that there were still eight years left!
[American Yingzong Cleveland: Is there another eight years? ! There's still time! The lock I gave you is called the Lock of Policy! You should learn from your Eastern pen pals and become a secluded country! This lock should be able to lock your life! Let’s first resist the Enlightenment ideas that are raging in Europe outside France! 】

Louis XVI was confused and asked Cleveland to lock him, but he played with the concept of locks, right?
