Connor's Hogwarts

Chapter 399 Magic Car
All members of the Lake family have been busy lately.

Old Diwen is busy setting up the International Magic Chamber of Commerce, and now he is running around in various countries, and he hasn't returned to his country for a long time.

Flora is busy dealing with the follow-up of the Monster Cup, Elena is busy arranging the launch of the Alchemy Golem, and Camilla is busy solving the trouble of re-selling the magic card.
There are also Shire who is busy managing the company, part-time screenwriter, and recruiting talents in the Muggle world, Blanche who is busy preparing for the entrance examination, and Ivan (crossed out) who is busy carrying on the succession of the Lake family.
In short, after the Monster Cup, the Lake family seems to have embarked on the highway of development, everything has become smooth, and the pace of life of the family members has accelerated a lot.

So is Connor.

The weekend is over, and Connor is about to start work.

That's right, when he went to work, Connor appointed himself a position—the head of the Lake Magic Technology Research Department, and paid himself a salary.

The office is in the research room under his tower, with flexible working hours, more money and less work, close to home, and the salary is very good!

Although he is currently the only employee on trial in this department. Oh, and there is also an intern assistant, Blanche.

Although this department seems to sound very unreliable, and there is a sense of jio using power for personal gain, but it doesn't matter!What is important?It's the ritual sense of going to work!Life is about having a sense of ritual, so that even if Connor spends a day fishing in the office, he will feel that he has not wasted his time because he is paid to fish!

Ahem, let’s get down to business, as the director of Lake’s magic technology research department, Connor’s usual job is to improve existing products and develop new magic props.

Connor is currently researching a new magic item-magic car.

In order to create a magical car that is suitable for wizards and can pass the trial of the Ministry of Magic, Connor asked the brave pioneer, Mr. Weasley, the director of the Department of Prohibiting the Misuse of Muggle Items, and borrowed his little one. broken car.

Mr. Weasley, as the drafter of the "Muggle Protection Act", is very familiar with all loopholes in wizarding law, and is also very active in exploiting legal loopholes. He has provided Connor with a lot of constructive suggestions
First of all, the Ministry of Magic does not prohibit wizards from using Muggle items, but prohibits "misuse". That is to say, in principle, magic cars are not illegal.

All relevant laws of the Ministry of Magic have only one starting point, which is to prohibit the exposure of the wizarding world.

Any behavior and objects that may expose the wizarding world should be avoided.

So here comes the question, will the magic car expose the wizarding world?Will a car that can run, fly and apparate easily expose the wizarding world?

The answer is - of course not.

Because such a car is actually no different from a broomstick, and no matter in the near future, magic carpets and flying swords will soon enter the British market. Even in the past, many wizards would transform their "mounts", and broom companies once Use the pumpkin cart as a means of transportation.
That is to say, as long as you cast a spell to shield your vehicle from Muggles, you can ride it on the streets with peace of mind. That's why Mr. Weasley dared to modify his car, because as long as it is not blocked by Muggles It was discovered that he could actually drive a speeding car into the streets openly. This is the so-called exploiting legal loopholes.

However, if you are caught by a Muggle while driving a flying car, sorry, you will receive a lawyer's letter from the Ministry of Magic and may face jail time.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, if the Lake family wants to launch a new type of transportation such as the magic car, then two problems must be solved: [-]. Make sure that this car will not be discovered by Muggles under any circumstances; [-]. Make sure your new form of transportation is attractive to wizards.

The reason for the second question is simple, because wizards are mostly old-fashioned and stubborn. If your new product doesn't have a bright enough flash point, why would they choose to use your new car instead of riding a broomstick?
In the wizarding world, Mr. Weasley is not the only wizard who has transformed Muggle cars. Indeed, many people are curious about Muggle vehicles, but this is not because they give up the more convenient Floo and broomsticks and choose one other than The reason for the magic car that is useless for novelty.

So Connor's research on the behavior of magic cars seems a bit thankless, because the current wizards don't need things like magic cars at all.

You can use Floo powder when you go to distant places, and you can ride a broom and magic carpet when you go out. Is magic car really useful?

Hehehe, Connor can clearly tell the wizards - no!use!

Yes, the magic car wizard is tasteless, it is a dispensable thing, the wizard doesn't need the magic car at all.

So why does Connor still study magic cars?

Because of Connor's positioning, the consumers of Magic Cars are not wizards at all!It's Squibs, and - Muggles!
You heard me right!Connor actually planned to sell this thing to the Muggle world when he made it!

Remember Connor's communication with Dumbledore and Grindelwald?Connor's ultimate goal is not to make a fortune in the wizarding world. This goal has actually been achieved long ago. Connor's eyes have always been on Muggles, no, on the whole world.

The magic car will be a very important step for the wizarding world to influence the Muggle world. Connor doesn't want to make a magic car, but must do it.

Of course, this matter cannot be accomplished overnight. It will be at least ten years later when Magic Motors enters the Muggle world under the name of "new energy vehicles". By then, this book will be over long ago. So don't worry at all.

And the magic car that Connor is going to make for wizards and squibs is an experimental product, and because of its own characteristics, it is destined to be a luxury. The Lake family is doing this to lose money because no one will buy it. mentality to do.

In this way, we have solved one of the two problems just now.

Next, all Connor had to consider now was the issue of [ensure that the magic car will not be discovered by Muggles under any circumstances].

Regarding the solution to this problem, Connor also had a bold idea.

The "on-call" service of the Knight Bus inspired Connor. Of course, this does not refer to the simple and crude method of wrapping the car with a Muggle shielding effect at any time. No challenge.

What Connor wants to do is to be able to drive automatically, walk freely without human control, be able to switch modes, support the use of land, sea and air in any terrain, and be able to apparate, so that thousands of miles away can be reached in a blink of an eye without worrying about being late. It is a multifunctional magic car that can navigate with magic, so you don’t have to worry about finding your way back home, and you can avoid danger intelligently. It will not reveal your identity under any circumstances.

In order to realize the above functions, one thing is inseparable, and that is something that appears repeatedly in these seven or eight chapters, but is deliberately not mentioned-magical intelligence.

　Happy Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day! (^o^)
