Connor's Hogwarts

Chapter 401 Top-Down Reform Approach
The wizard's ability to impart magical intelligence to objects is also graded.

Using artificial intelligence for comparison, it's like... the more powerful the programmer, the more advanced the artificial intelligence produced. When the "computing power" of the wizard who draws the magic intelligent magic pattern is stronger, the generated The magical intelligence will also be more powerful.

Moreover, magical intelligence designed with different degrees of energy will have different computing power.

However, there is an "upper limit" for magical intelligence. Generally, its limit depends on the ability of the caster and the amount of "data" attached to the memory.

Just like ordinary monster cards and Mr. Weasley's car, they only have ordinary intelligence and can only perform simple interaction and communication.

The magic paintings in the principal's office and those domestic maid puppets have relatively advanced intelligence and can complete complex communication. Although they have no emotions, they can think like "humans".

The most advanced ones... are naturally magic paintings with souls, like Angel and Artoria, they are completely no different from normal humans.

In the same way, if the magic painting is replaced with a golem, if there is a way to make the golem have a soul, it is no different from a human being—just like Helena.

Of course, the latter two can no longer be regarded as magical intelligence, they are artificial humans, so the technology mastered by wizards is so awesome13.

After talking about the level of magical intelligence, let's go back to the topic.

As mentioned earlier, Connor wants all magic cars to have capabilities far beyond those of the Knight Bus, capable of "automatic driving", "automatic navigation" and "automatic avoidance of Muggles".

Even Mr. Weasley's small broken car can barely achieve automatic driving, and the automatic navigation function can barely be realized on the Knight Bus. It is not difficult for Connor to achieve these two points.

The difficulty lies in the latter, how to automatically avoid the risk of being discovered by Muggles, that is, "cannot be discovered by Muggles under any circumstances".

It is a way to put concealment and confusion spells on the car at any time, but in this way, the car is no different from the Knight Bus, and there is a very serious problem-Muggle photo equipment cannot be deceived. The effects of the confusing spell.

In the future, there will be more and more monitoring equipment installed in the Muggle world, and the world will gradually become free of "dead corners". Wizards who want to hide themselves with magic that deceives Muggles will become more and more difficult.

Therefore, if Connor wants to make... a magical car that can appear in the Muggle world without worrying about being discovered, it must have a magical intelligence with very powerful computing power.

How powerful is this computing power? Emmm is powerful to the level of modern computers. Not too much, right?

Alright, after such a long circle, I finally got to the point. I made a long discussion, but I just wanted to explain one thing - Connor wanted to be a computer for the wizarding world.

So, is this magical thing really possible?

Connor, who is conducting an experiment, said that this thing, in theory, would not work
Yes, frankly speaking, there is no way to make a computer with magic, to be honest.

These two things are not the same at all, completely different...

In the laboratory, Connor was sitting next to Mr. Weasley's broken car, conducting an important experiment called "Chat with Angel".

"Baby, tell me, what is the sum from one to one hundred?"

"5050."

"Then can you tell me how you calculated?"

"Hmm. Mental arithmetic?"

"?"

"That's right. After thinking about it, the answer came out."

"."

If nothing else, Angel should be the top "magic intelligence" in the wizarding world, because when she was created, she was endowed with a huge amount of knowledge.

And Angel is very smart, literally smart, she does have a strong calculation ability, and can easily calculate some complicated calculations in her head. If "person" is used as the standard, then Angel is a very, very smart person.

But she is totally different from a computer
"...Then Angel, what is 123 times 456 plus 789?"

"I think about 56877!"

"What about multiplying 12345 by 678910?"

"Hmm." Angel puffed up, "I don't know! Dad, why are you asking these arithmetic questions? It's not fun at all!"

Connor typed the keyboard, and the calculator on the "big head" display had already displayed the answer. In the duel between Angel VS Computer, Angel lost.

Obviously, Angel's computing power is limited. She is not like a computer that can complete millions of instructions per second. Compared with a computer, Angel is obviously more like a real "human being".

"I'm testing some conjectures, and testing the possibility of developing a wizard version of the computer."

In the last few days of the summer vacation, Connor went to the Muggle world to buy several computers, and then played minesweeper, bah!It was an experiment.

Connor didn't even know that there was a laptop in 1992, because he had been living in the wizarding world since he was a child. Even if he paid attention to the Muggle world, Connor felt that he still missed a lot.

"Hmm~ Is this a computer?" Angel asked bouncingly, "What's the use of this thing?"

"This thing is amazing." Connor touched his chin and said, "Look, it figured out the problem you didn't figure out just now."

"Emmm and then? That's it?"

"Of course there are many, many functions, but it's a pity that they haven't been developed yet." Connor couldn't help but open the minesweeper again. "Although this is only a one-dimensional ability, the calculation speed of millions of levels cannot be simulated by magic." come out, this is the power of technology.”

Although there is always a sense of disobedience when talking about technology in the magical world, this is a problem that Connor must face.

"In fact, I don't know much about the operating principle of the computer created by the Muggles. I only know a general idea, but I know its future, and the world will be changed by it, so I have no reason to miss this opportunity and not do something. What."

"Magic intelligence—take my magic painting as an example," Connor said, pointing to Conan in the frame next to him, "The characteristic of magic painting is that it can receive unlimited information at one time—even if it is a lifetime of one person. memory, but Mohua's ability to process information and calculate calculations is actually almost the same as that of humans."

"Computers, on the other hand, have millions of computing speeds, but they don't have the ability to process information [independently]. Computers are just machines, and they need to be manipulated by humans."

"Wizards can endow objects with near-human intelligence."

"Muggles give machines superhuman abilities."

"So... what if I combine the two?"

The light in Connor's eyes was shining brightly: "Anqier, if we can integrate this kind of computing and information processing capabilities into the same magical intelligence system, what we create will be our real [future]!"

"The path of wizards shouldn't be a step-by-step approach from bottom to top. We should go from top to bottom, relying on our ability to surpass the times, and in turn drive the development of the entire wizard society!"

"Believe me, we all have a bright future!"
