Chapter 496 (1/2)

Because of the preparation of the logistics camp of the Western expeditionary army, there was no trouble in the relocation of the royal court.

The people who moved in soon entered the designated area. If the Indian Empire could be established in the future, these people would be the first imperial capital people.

With a better brick and concrete house, there is no need for the stone bear to make any big accounts.

In addition, there is an alchemist who is proficient in architecture among the eighteen Arhats. Under his leadership, the ”giant bear Palace” is now under intense and orderly construction. It is estimated that this huge building group with an area of 200000 square meters will be completely completed in two years.

But now some of the buildings in the giant bear palace can be used, so as the chief, the stone bear family moved here.

Here, the stone bear also met the alchemist, the Englishman Richardson, who was proficient in architecture.

It's a coincidence that Richardson's grandfather was a professional in the construction industry. His grandfather even participated in the construction of Buckingham Palace. Richardson's father has also been involved in the construction of many famous buildings in London, which can be said to be a family origin.

But in his generation, he has two elder brothers above and a younger sister below. As the third in his family, he has been trained as a famous architect since childhood. Unfortunately, when he was 24 years old, he suddenly fell in love with the mysterious alchemy, and the alchemy of electricity.

According to him, it was after reading about the lightning rod test done by Benjamin Franklin of Boston in 1752 that he became fascinated by the alchemy of lightning. Especially when Franklin was named academician of the Royal Society of London, he was even more infatuated with this aspect.

In fact, with his wealth, it doesn't matter if he is addicted to alchemy. After all, although his family is not very rich, he is definitely a middle-class person in London.

It's a pity that the boy did so much that he even wanted to install lightning rods for buildings like Franklin did.

If it's other buildings, it's OK, but he aimed at Buckingham Palace.

Although Buckingham Palace was not the Royal Palace of England, it was the private bedroom of King George III of England.

Richardson, however, turned his mind to Buckingham Palace.

He didn't get permission to install a lightning rod in Buckingham Palace, but he sneaked in and installed a lightning rod in the West Building of Buckingham Palace at night.

As a result, I don't know whether the wire used as the guiding fluid is too thin or any other reason. In a thunderstorm, the lightning rod did lead the thunder down, and the wire used as the guiding fluid was burned instantly.

As a result, the thunder broke out on the top of the West Building of Buckingham Palace, which not only surprised George III, who was resting in his bedroom, but also successfully caused a fire

So, the disaster of no rash so landed on Richardson's head.

As the culprit, he was arrested. Originally, according to the law at that time, he would have been sent to the gallows, but Richardson's father almost emptied all the property in his family, which paid off the justice. Finally, Richardson was sentenced to exile in Maryland, North America. It is worth mentioning that before the outbreak of the independent war, Britain exiled about 1000 criminals to Virginia and Maryland in North America every year.
