Hogwarts: Becoming a god from reselling fresh food

The volume and weight of the original substance are usually not large. To make a magic stone as big as Flamel's, only a dozen grams of the original substance is enough.

And such a large magic stone can be supplied to more than ten magic metal factories after careful control.

If there are really tens of thousands of tons of raw material on the moon that can be mined back, at least there will be no need to worry too much about insufficient magic power for a hundred years.

"Work hard and try to land on the moon within a year." Murphy encouraged.

With the support of magic, a rocket as huge as the Saturn V will no longer be needed to land on the moon. A slight modification of the existing rocket model will be enough to send people to the lunar orbit. Landing on the moon within a year is not particularly exaggerated. Task.

But even so, under the best prediction, it will take more than a year before the original magic power produced by the moon can be used.

It is not yet known whether those raw materials can be used directly.

Murphy did not intend to put all his eggs in this basket. After arranging a moon landing plan, he returned to the British Ministry of Magic underground in London.

In order not to disturb others, Murphy visited through the fireplace and appeared in the lobby on the first floor.

He had not been to the Ministry of Magic for a long time, and many of the arrangements here looked different from the past.

Originally, there was a statue of the Magic Brothers at the fountain in the lobby on the first floor. The wizard held his wand high in an exaggerated posture, surrounded by witches, centaurs, goblins and house elves.

But now the center of the fountain has been replaced by a huge single sculpture. It is a wizard who is ten meters tall. He looks about 50% similar to Murphy. He holds a wand in one hand and raises it forward. , the tip of the wand emits bright light, and the other hand holds a globe-like sphere.

Water is spraying from the center of the sphere.

The name of the sculpture is written on the base: "Shining Guidance."

Murphy looked at the sculpture with a frown, feeling like he was being slapped on the thigh for flattery.

The sculpture that originally looked a bit majestic, but when it sprayed water, it reminded him of the flower, bird, and moon performed by the idiot goddess in a certain animation in his previous life.

Sure enough, before he could finish his thoughts, he saw a spray of water spraying out from the top of the wizard sculpture.

Very good, this statue designer will go to Siberia to dig coal from now on.

He went straight to the ninth floor underground, the Department of Mysteries.

There is also a big change here. When you step out of the elevator, you are in front of an extremely spacious hall. There are six other huge halls connected to both sides of the hall. Many complex equipment are placed in those spacious halls, and there are hundreds of people wearing white coats. Researchers walked around.

Some of them are wizards with wands, and some are simply Muggles.

At the end of the hall is a small black door, which is tightly closed at the moment.

Murphy came to a hall on the right, glanced at the crowd, and found a young researcher with curly brown hair.

"Are you Jim Best? You wrote the article "Some Research on Native Magic", right?"

Best was so thin and tall that he looked a little malnourished. His curly hair hung in front of his eyes, and his eyes looked a little dull.

It took him a while before he seemed to realize that Murphy was talking to him, "Oh, that article is a piece of shit, please flush it down the drain."

Murphy was speechless for a moment, "I think it's quite inspiring."

"Then you must be a fool, sir, or know nothing about magic." Best said, "I wrote that article before, but now I have discovered three errors in it. Unfortunately, the guy in the collection room told me My paper has passed the review and been uploaded to the shared cloud, Xie Te! Now you can all watch my jokes!"

"..."

Has this guy always spoken so badly that he deserves a beating? But Murphy didn't get angry, but asked, "What errors did you find?"

"The most important thing is about the source of primitive magic. At first, I thought that these primitive magics were very pure, so I thought they were like the 'basic elements' mentioned in the magic theory, derived from nature. But then I found out, bullshit ! Whether it’s prophecy, love, death, etc., they are all filled with human elements.”

"The reason why they look pure is because those mental bands are too broad, and after being superimposed countless times, they have become a complete white noise. It is not empty, on the contrary, it is filled. .”

"These 'primitive magics' are not primitive or native at all. They are man-made, born of people, and full of human traces."

"You mean, the magical energy here is acquired, not innate?"

"That's right!" Best nodded heavily, "So the basic assumptions of that article are all wrong, and the rest is nonsense."

"So, what about the speculation that native magic can be used as magic energy?" Murphy asked.

Best thought for a while, "This is not affected. Are you from the R\u0026D department?"

"That's right. How powerful are these primitive magics as energy sources? You didn't write this part in detail in your paper. Have you done any calculations?"

"I just made some estimates," Best said, "There are a total of twelve rooms here, and each room has a unique magic or phenomenon. I initially realized that this was a magic ritual, but I didn't know what the specific function was. .”

"However, these magical energies are not generated out of thin air, but are guided from certain places."

"I have analyzed the flow of magic power and found that the flow of magic power here is very large. It is incredibly large. Every second, at least 390,000 Hubble's magic power flows into this place from unknown sources. A large part of it will flow through again. It flows away in other invisible directions, but there are still thousands to tens of thousands of Hubble's magical powers remaining every second."

"Some of them support the operation of this ritual, and some of them seem to have other purposes."

"I haven't studied this area carefully, but the Floo Network seems to be related to here, as well as the Ministry of Magic's trace system, magic disaster sensing system, etc., are all related to here. I suspect that some of the functions of the Department of Mysteries , which serves as the center for the Ministry of Magic's energy and various business functions."

"What if you want to use this energy as a stable magic source to open a factory?" Murphy asked.

"It shouldn't be difficult. As long as you copy this ritual, you may be able to receive the magic power. Speaking of it, it is a bit like a magic node, similar to a repeater or a router."

Magic node...

A bright light suddenly flashed in Murphy's mind.

"The Weave," he said.

"What?" Best didn't understand.

"Is it possible that this is the node of the magic network?"

In the initial research of the Magic Research Institute, it was speculated that there may be a "network" in the world that manages and controls the effects of various magics and spells. It is this network that completes the effects of various magics, so that wizards do not need to set each The shape of a hair can also turn a cup into a mouse, which greatly improves the ease of use of magic and lowers the threshold for magic.

Murphy and the researchers have always thought that the so-called "Magic Network" should be something similar to the "spiritual world", a law-like thing that is completely hidden in the dark side of the world.

But after hearing Best's description, Murphy had to think about a possibility.

Could the Magic Network be less grand than I originally imagined? Could it actually be a very real thing?

Like the Department of Mysteries in front of me?
