"Hurry, take me to see!"

Pei Min was still very curious about Greek fire.

When it comes to ancient science and technology culture, the East is undoubtedly a Chinese civilization, while the West is an ancient Roman civilization that inherited Greek culture.

Whether it is the Chinese civilization or the ancient Roman civilization, their culture, art, philosophy, and science are all outstanding existences in the same era.

During the cold weapon era, two major technologies that were ahead of the world were: one was the black gunpowder in the East, and the other was the Greek fire in the West.

The black gunpowder has just appeared in the world and has not yet truly exerted its power.

However, the Greek fire has long been famous in the West, and the arrogant Arabs have failed many times under the Greek fire.

Later generations claimed that the Vikings were invincible in naval warfare led 2,000 warships to attack Byzantium. There were less than a hundred ships in Byzantium, and their strength was one-twentieth that of the Vikings. As a result, Greek fire became more powerful again, and the Vikings burned across Europe on the Black Sea.

French aristocrat Juanville also described the horror of Greek fire in his memoirs.

Eight hundred years ago, before gunpowder was used on a large scale, Greek fire was undoubtedly a magical tool that made the West scared of talking about tigers.

Pei Min is still very interested in this.

I came to the empty schoolyard and was waiting for the arrival of Greek fire.

Savoy couldn't help but tell Pei Min about his experiences over the years.

For the Greek fire, Savoy had been jailed for five years and forced himself to reduce his body weight to skin and bones.

When Savoy made an agreement with Pei Min at the beginning, he was a little moved, but he did not take this matter to heart.

After all, Greek fire was the highest secret in the Byzantine Empire, and Byzantine's control over Greek fire was so strict that it was pathological.

It is obviously a weapon on the battlefield, but Byzantium is not used on the battlefield, but sealed it up.

Only when the Greek fire is reached is reached by the point of life and death, can it be sent out to destroy the enemy.

Of course, perhaps it is precisely because of this that the Greek fire has been kept secret until now and will not be studied for other Chinese studies.

Savoy was a businessman who could not enter the core to steal secrets like Greek fire.

Later, Savoy's business encountered fierce competition from his peers and his profits were greatly reduced.

As a greedy businessman, it makes him more uncomfortable if he can't make money than killing him.

After some investigation, Savoy found that the person who competed for business with him was an Arab nobleman with an official background. In terms of material connections, he was more than one level higher than him, and it was only natural to compete.

In order to avoid falling, Savoy returned to Byzantium and began to make a bridge and match.

Savoy took the church line and opened up new commercial channels.

Western churches have extremely serious thoughts. According to statistics, the Byzantines are divided into two halves, half of whom are believers and the other half are believers. Although the actual number of believers is less than half of the population, the land they occupy almost half of the empire. They also have tax exemptions and other privileges.

Savoy took the church route and lived a good life. However, the glorious days were not seen for a few years. Leo III, the iron-blooded emperor of the Byzantine Empire, took advantage of the time when his old enemy Arab attracted hatred for the Tang Dynasty and began to work hard to govern.

Leo III issued an edict: "Publicity of worship of holy images" kicked off the prelude to the "movement of destruction of holy images."

Western religious thoughts are much more serious than those in the East. Monks get angry when they hear this order. Without the statue, how can they collect money for incense?

The archbishop of the church could not help but stand up and oppose Leo III's orders. The monks even stood up to their authority and began to incite the residents, women, and those residents who were easily excited, and uprising broke out in Greece and the islands on the Aegean Sea.

Leo III was so ruthless that he forcibly suppressed religious forces. He allocated the land and land confiscated from religion to the army and nobles, which improved Byzantium's strength.

All this has nothing to do with the Tang Dynasty, but it has affected Savoy's future.

Savoy became a devout believer for business, and all his property was confiscated...

In an instant, Savoy fell from heaven to hell.

In addition to his assets in the Tang Dynasty, Savoy swallowed all the Byzantine family businesses to a group of nobles, and he himself was almost affected.

Pei Min rose like a Rocket at this time and became the defending king of the West.

His name can be heard not only in the East, but also in Byzantium.

Savoy, who was in trouble, remembered this agreement. The more difficult it was, the more it could make a person crazy.

In addition to being in the hands of the Byzantine emperors, a small number of people knew that Greek fire was theologians.

Byzantine attaches importance to culture. In Byzantine arithmetic, geometry, music and astronomy, they are called the four arts, which are compulsory subjects. Theology belongs to the category of higher education, including religion and science.

Greek fire, like the black gunpowder in the East, is actually the product of unexpected research by a group of charlatans.

Extraordinary knowledgeable theologists have the opportunity to come into contact with Greek fire and start researching it.

When Savoy came into contact with the Holy See, he heard that there was a genius Ardeen in the Holy See who was very accomplished in scientific theology and even took the Duke's daughter as his wife...

But this Adian was a devout believer, and this incident caused quite a stir.

Savoy inquired about his whereabouts and put a prison on the governor of Byzantine.

Savoy made Byzantium look down on the ground and was locked in a prison that specifically under house arrest.

One level is five years!

During these five years, he kept talking to the believers in prison. Finally, he found a young monk, Aldas, who was Adion's deputy.

Adion is a crazy theologian. He attaches great importance to his research results. Before the incident, he handed over his research results to Aldas and sent him out.

Ordas escaped the purge by chance, but was imprisoned as a monk because of his identity as a monk.

As the matter gradually subsided, Savoy's son also bribed the relationship and escaped the disaster.

During this period of life and death, Savoy was all determined to write a book to vent his depression.

Pei Min naturally comforted her.

With Aldas' arrival, he set his eyes on a large carriage behind him.

Savoy followed Ordas and spoke.

Ordas bowed respectfully to Pei Min and said, "I have met the prince of the Celestial Dynasty."

Pei Min looked surprised. The young man actually spoke fluent Chinese.

Even Savoy looked surprised.

"Do you understand Chinese?"

Aldas said: "The master is very obsessed with Eastern culture. He applied for traveling east many times, but he did not get recognized. The master regretted not traveling east before his death."

Pei Min was very proud of hearing this. Now, no matter east or west, the world admires the culture of the Tang Dynasty, and he has made a contribution to this.

Pei Min couldn't wait to let Ordas demonstrate Greek fire.

Aldas bowed slightly, turned around and greeted the servants beside him and acted.

Several servants took out an oil tank from the carriage, as well as a manual air pump, conduit and pipe outlet lighter.
