Chapter 860 The prototype of the magic net (seeking the moon)
Arkhipovna's laboratory is located in a room on the right side of the hall.
In the urban research area of the entire college, she is one of the few scholars who has an independent research room. This is not only because she is the famous "madwoman" of the Landau Institute, but also because of the importance of the topic in her hands.
.
The room is clearly divided into two parts, as if a handmade parts workshop and a study were blended together.
"Maybe it's a little small. Let's make do with it a little bit. We didn't reserve too many assistant places at the beginning..."
Arkhipovna scratched her hair in distress and glanced at the bald young wizard who followed her into the room.
"If you have any questions, I suggest you ask them once and for all. We are all adults, so we are not as illogical as children. On the other hand, I don't have much patience to repeat basic science theories."
"Just now in the Great Hall, you said your goal was to restore Muggle electronics at Hogwarts?"
Quirinus Quirrell looked around the room, shook his head, and said calmly.
"I'm sorry, madam, this is impossible. If you have the opportunity to read "Hogwarts: A School History", a recreational book describing Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, you will know clearly: You
Those magic substitutes used by Muggles, such as electricity, computers, radars, and all such things, no matter how great and complex they are, will definitely malfunction as soon as they arrive around Hogwarts. The magical magnetic field in the air here is too strong.
.”
"I don't mean to offend or look down upon science, but this is the magical world..."
Quirrell said calmly, pointing to the pile of scrapped electronic equipment piled in the corner.
"Obviously, at least within the scope of Hogwarts, anything that is prohibited and rejected by magic can never be solved by means other than magic. These are the rules of magic, two completely different worlds."
"Two completely different worlds? What an annoying arrogance and ignorance."
Arkhipovna raised her eyebrows, took a piece of blank manuscript paper from the table and tore it into pieces.
Before Quirinus Quirrell could respond, she lifted up her white coat and pulled out a sword-like hardwood fake wand from the outside of her thigh, rubbed it casually a few times on her wavy light red hair, and laid it flat on her head.
Above the pile of scraps of paper.
The next moment, the scraps of paper that were lying quietly on the table were sucked up one by one as if they were attracted by magic.
“Because the nuclei of different objects have different abilities to bind electrons outside the nucleus, when two objects rub against each other, one of them must lose some electrons, and the other object must gain excess electrons. The rubbed charged objects have the property of attracting light and small objects.
, and in the process of charge transfer, this is the simplest 'electrical' phenomenon."
Arkhipovna fiddled with the wooden stick in her hand somewhat boredly and looked at Quirrell with a half-smile.
"Mr. Wizard, it seems that the magic of Hogwarts has not erased the phenomenon of 'electricity' from the world. In fact, it is impossible to think about it, right? Unless you recast a brand new universe and reshape atoms,
Electronic definition.”
Electronic equipment cannot be used in Hogwarts because live things in this area will definitely malfunction.
This sentence is originally a very ridiculous and imprecise statement.
Even if the narrow concept of charge transfer and current is used as the definition of "electricity", it is too reluctant. After all, the human body itself is an active "electric" life, let alone those slightly broader electrical phenomena.
"By the way, you just said that the magic magnetic field in the air at Hogwarts is too strong."
Arkhipovna raised her finger and pointed, repeated softly, and glanced meaningfully at Quirrell.
"So, this passage that appeared in the book "Hogwarts: A History" was at least revised and added after the 19th century. The definition of 'magnetic field', or 'field', is derived from
It was proposed by your British scientist Faraday and carried forward by Mr. Maxwell..."
"So?" Quirrell asked with interest.
Since he had previously served as a professor of Muggle Studies, Quirinus Quirrell was not low in his acceptance of Muggles. Following the foreign woman's explanation, he quickly realized that this "new assignment" had already exceeded his expectations.
Theory construction period.
It was obvious that the world had changed a lot during the half year he had not been at Hogwarts.
"Professor Dumbledore said that Hogwarts' electromagnetic shielding... well, let's describe it this way... was confirmed more than a hundred years ago. Since it does not seem to be a defensive measure that can be turned on and off,
We prefer to regard it as a 'semi-natural' strong magnetic field formed in a special geographical environment, which may have some 'magic' factors."
Arkhipovna stood up straight, walked to the mobile blackboard on one side of the room, pointed to the pictures and texts on it, and explained.
On one of the blackboards, an icon of a castle was crudely drawn, with dense, intertwined curves drawn from the center of the castle outwards. At a glance, it looked like ripples caused by a stone thrown into a lake.
"It's different from any magnetic environment I've ever seen before. You know what, it's incredible..."
Arkhipovna's eyes flashed extremely brightly and she spoke quickly.
"The magic magnetic field lingering around Hogwarts seems to have a certain degree of self-awareness, and will attack in a targeted manner... Oh no, or in other words, it will touch the abnormal magnetic field that enters its range. Our guess is
In addition to alternating current and direct current, there may be a special form of current."
"This is like a magnetic field in an encrypted channel, which will automatically search and connect all non-self electromagnetic fields."
Quirinas Chilo noticed that once he talked about electromagnetic fields and electrons, this Russian woman who looked lazy and sexy before seemed to be a different person, exuding a dazzling aura like flames.
"In other words, at the same time, there are actually two channels of magnetic field response that are like radar reflection waves, and magnetic field directional amplification that cannot be understood and reproduced based on our technology. At the same time, because the electronic equipment we manufacture cannot correctly respond to the identification
Codes, that is, 'magic' signals, will be defeated by the ever-increasing number of 'questions'."
Arkhipovna moved quickly between the blackboards, her long wavy light red hair like a leaping flame.
Several blackboards filled with Russian characters, numbers, and complex patterns unfolded in front of Quirinas Chilo's eyes. The original rough and simple Hogwarts graphics gradually became three-dimensional, and the surrounding terrain gradually became more detailed.
.
If you look carefully, everything is filled with dense numbers and formulas.
"This is not magic's resistance to science, nor is it a high wall between two worlds."
Arkhipovna opened her arms and looked at those small steps that took more than half a year to take.
This was the final result that gathered half of the top scholars of human civilization to continuously try, discuss, and calculate. The moment the answer came out, both wizards and Muggles realized that the world should change.
"So, do you understand now?"
Arkhipovna turned her head, looked at Chilo, and spoke softly with a complicated expression.
"As early as more than a hundred years ago, or even earlier, the magical world or the will of Hogwarts itself was sending signals to the surroundings, exploring and connecting things that entered her domain, and making decisions.
Feedback. Therefore, what we do is not to crack some magic protection, but to read it and actively send her the received signal."
"Wait a minute, these are a bit complicated."
Quirinus Quirrell rubbed his brows with a headache, trying to digest the information he just learned.
Is the magical magnetic field surrounding Hogwarts alive?
Those electronic devices that had gradually malfunctioned before were not deliberately destroyed, but were damaged by the gradually increasing frequency of the magic magnetic field because they were unable to respond like wizards or other magic items?
As the professor of Muggle Studies at Hogwarts, Quirinus Quirrell felt that his lesson plan was being torn to pieces.
"But, I still have a question..."
Quirinus Quirrell thought for a while and prepared to return to the most basic points and reorganize them one by one.
"Even if everything is as you explained, the magical magnetic field of Hogwarts has mysterious vitality, what does this mean? I mean, you can't even perceive the so-called "signal", that is...
"
"Oh, yes. You are right, this is indeed a troublesome problem, Professor Quirrell."
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from behind Quirinus Quirrell.
"Due to the inability to find a "source point" that can respond correctly and the lack of comparative test reference, our research progress has been stuck at this place for a long time. Fortunately, you appeared at this time. This is a win-win, isn't it?"
He turned around suddenly and saw a little silver-haired witch appearing in the room at some point.
While looking at the papers on the blackboard, the girl carefully placed a small black suitcase on an empty space on the table in the middle of the room. She turned around and looked at Arkhipovna and said with a smile.
"Ms. Arkhipovna, this is the resource you applied for before... I tried my best to help you get a replacement."
"alternatives?"
Arkhipovna repeated in confusion.
There seemed to be some animal hidden in the small black suitcase. It was shaking from time to time, and she even vaguely heard the squeaking sound of something that sounded like a platypus and a little like a mouse.
"Oh, didn't you say you wanted to apply for a batch of hamster generators to test the conversion of dynamic potential energy and electrical energy..."
Elena smiled and nodded, opened the suitcase, and took out the shining golden cage from inside.
This is a larger wheel than the common "hamster power wheel".
Hanging on the outer ring of each floor is a sparkling gold galleons that projects outward, just like a miniature version of the golden Ferris wheel. In the middle of the "Ferris wheel" is a furry black guy with a hairy head.
The long nose and flat front paws, like shovels, are very strange and cute.
"This is Niffler, a magical creature. It likes shiny things and its physical strength is much stronger than that of hamsters."
As the suitcase opened, the eyes of the little guy trapped in the "Sniffing Generator" suddenly lit up, and he started running in the cage, trying hard to chase the beautiful gold coin in front of him that seemed to be within reach.
Elena glanced at Arkhipovna, whose eyes were a little bright, and added.
"However, you'd better not let it out, otherwise Mr. Newt Scamander will definitely come to trouble me when he finds out about it, and before that, the equipment in the laboratory may be stolen by it.
Already."
"Huh? It will destroy and steal the metal equipment in the laboratory?"
Arkhipovna looked at the furry Niffler curiously and nodded seriously.
"From the outside, it looks like an omnivorous species like a hamster, right? Breeding and observation should be the responsibility of the guys in the agriculture and biology groups... In other words, this is a resource provided by a combined topic
?”
"Well, that's roughly how I understand it, but I will temporarily leave it to you to provide labor during the day."
Elena took out a piece of cardboard from her chest, handed it to Arkhipovna, and said casually.
"Please sign for it. This is considered one of the assets of Gringotts Wizarding Bank. If you accidentally mess it up, or plan to conduct any irreparable experiments, you still need to apply. It is best not to report like this."
"I understand, understand"
Arkhipovna rubbed her hands excitedly and agreed quickly.
Just like in the institute before, resource applications in Academy City are not unlimited. Some overlapping project groups will share a set of resources, and as a resource applicant, you can naturally get some more in exchange privately.
.
This can be regarded as an invisible benefit. Researchers like Arkhipovna and others from the Department of Physics and Mathematics have long been envious of the "publicly funded pig raising" and "publicly funded fish raising" projects next door. Even in the magic world,
The accidental mortality rate of those magical creatures is not that high for the time being, but they are still eating it and taking a lot of advantage in medicinal applications.
And with such a magical creature resource, she can at least ask the project team next door for half an extra rabbit leg every week.
While Arkhipovna was signing the signature and assembling the "Sniffing Generator", Quirinas Chilo, who was waiting nearby, finally found a chance to interrupt and asked curiously.
"That, um, Miss Kaslana."
Quirrell followed Lockhart's instructions last night, squatted down slightly, considered his words and spoke softly.
"I don't quite understand why my appearance will promote... um... this research on magical magnetic fields, and what does the win-win situation you just mentioned mean? You know my situation! I..."
"You can still see ghosts and enter Hogwarts Castle, right?"
Looking at the humble and unconfident Quirrell, Elena sighed helplessly.
"This shows that even if you lose your magic power, you are still a wizard. The magnetic field surrounding Hogwarts will identify living bodies and the regular electromagnetic fields emitted by inanimate bodies. Things with magical elements will unconsciously be identified as...
Some form of interaction with the land is akin to opening an envelope with your own hands when a young wizard first enters school."
"Well, then why isn't it another wizard, or a squib? I believe you..."
"You remember how to cast magic, right?"
Elena raised her index finger, and a flash of bright white light flashed across her fingertips.
"In the domain of Hogwarts, the success rate of wizards' magic will be slightly improved. Since the magic power of each of us is like a small river, we cannot accurately separate the underground water seeping somewhere in the river bed. But you are different."
"Professor Lockhart, your 'river' has temporarily dried up. Before we can figure out what went wrong, your body is as dry as a 'river bed' that has been exposed to the sun for several months. And when you return to Hogwarts
Later, when you try to release magic or generate magic will, a little drop of water will quietly seep out..."
Elena took a deep look at Quirrell, who was gradually becoming a little confused, and said softly with a smile.
"And what you have to do now is to find that place and either block it and let it accumulate enough power to break through the rock formations; or break it open and let the water droplets turn into streams, trying to allow it to transmit more magic power."
"If I use non-magical terms to describe it, I hope you can activate the magic network and update the network protocol."
"In this way, we can not only solve the feasibility of magic energy conversion and the stability of magic energy output, but you can also regain the ability to cast spells, and even help more wizards connect to the 'network', greatly improving our
Computing Speed As Professor Dumbledore often said, no matter which house you come from, Hogwarts connects each of us closely..."
"And then..."
Elena's eyes stayed for a few seconds on Arkhipovna, who was still playing with the "Sniffing Generator" not far away.
Global magic base station...signal amplification point...mobile hotspot...
It seems that these are not completely impossible. After all, the first step of the scientific leap has been completed in the next few decades. There is no reason why even more unreasonable magic cannot do this.
Great~ I’m so excited~ The new world is getting more and more interesting~
