Connor's Hogwarts

Chapter 427 [Magic Net]

"I probably understand how to use this computer"

Dumbledore was touching the mouse to clear mines, while chatting with Connor, don't ask why he was playing minesweeper again, because the Windows system at this time only had the game Minesweeper, not Spider Solitaire.

"Although I am also surprised that Muggles without magical ability can make such a complicated machine, but... if we also want to achieve this level, it is not difficult, right?"

Dumbledore took out his purple leather Facebook, tapped the screen with the back of his finger, and said, "Connor, your Facebook is not much easier to use than this computer? If you just want to have more powerful computing power, then just Let Mira accept the knowledge of divination, right? But what is the matter of "creating a magic computer belonging to wizards" written in this plan?"

It's really not easy to teach the old people home computers. Fortunately, Dumbledore is a great magician with a strong receptivity, otherwise Connor might have to explain it here today.

"This involves another issue. Let's start from the beginning." Connor took a sip of tea, moistened his throat that was a little dry just now, and said, "Decades ago, a man named John von Neumann's Muggle mathematician created a computer architecture, which he believed to consist of five parts—input devices, memory, arithmetic units, controllers, and output devices."

Connor talked eloquently, and Dumbledore kept nodding while listening: "That's reasonable, I never dare to underestimate Muggle elites, apart from being able to use magic, we wizards are not much smarter than them, okay, okay, I don't think so." Excuse me, you continue to talk."

Connor rolled his eyes, how smart is he? There are only a few smart people among wizards, okay? To put it bluntly, they are a group of mobs who only know how to waste things. They have the ability to make fouls like magic and don't know how to study and use it. Knowing how to shoot lasers each other. It's just stupid.
"Professor, your feeling is correct. My Facebook is indeed much easier to use than a computer. Facebook can actually be regarded as a simplified version of a magic computer. The mirror is the input and output device, and Mira is a part-time storage operator. The cpu of the processor and controller, but the computing power of this central processing unit is not very strong."

Just kidding, Facebook was made by Connor on the basis of his smartphone. It was originally a computer. Although it is a magic version, it is better than the current big head computer no matter what.

"Then you asked Settima to give me this plan"

"This is a very necessary research, Professor." Connor interrupted Dumbledore unceremoniously, "Don't look at the current Facebook as if it is very powerful, and it is going to crush Muggle computers in terms of functions. That's pretty much the limit of what Facebook can do."

Connor took Dumbledore's Facebook and lifted the back cover, revealing the neatly arranged small lenses inside, which are the "contact cards" for Facebook to interact with each other.

"Current Facebook can only support [online] with less than a hundred people, professor, do you understand what I mean? I didn't set up so few [contact slots] on purpose, but only so many slots , no more will do.”

Connor turned Facebook back to the front again, and picked up the bearded fox with eyes and eyes that belonged to Dumbledore. The old fox was wearing a funny magic hat on his head.

"Professor, Mira has the limit of ability. Its understanding ability, ability to record and store information, and ability to process information on its own are all limited. The information that can be processed by a small network of less than a hundred people is almost the same as this one. The little fox's ability is at its limit"

As soon as Connor let go, the old fox fell back into the mirror, and quickly hid, not showing his head again.

"Human abilities have limits, let alone these mass-produced magic props?" Connor spread his hands, "But this is far from enough, professor, we can't stop here and be satisfied with this small interaction Internet, although our wizarding world is not big, connecting the entire wizarding world is not something I can do now, so this plan should, no, must, must go on.”

"." Dumbledore touched his beard, and after a long time of consideration, he said, "You mean you want to use divination to strengthen Facebook's capabilities, and then allow Mira to handle a huge amount of information?"

"Almost, half right."

"But why divination? No, although divination can strengthen computing power to a certain extent, it is still different from realizing your goal, right?" Dumbledore narrowed his eyes, "You said just now that you want To connect the entire wizarding world together. Is this something that can be done through divination? This aspect of things is not written in this plan, Connor, tell me honestly, what are you planning?"

Connor chuckled. He didn't expect that the bullshit he boasted in front of his cousin half a year ago would now be boasted again by Dumbledore. He said:

"Professor, have you ever heard of the Internet?"

"?"

Dumbledore pressed his temples. He wondered if he really couldn't keep up with the times. Sure enough, the future should be left to young people. What do I, a half-buried old man, worry about here every day?
"I haven't heard of it, Connor, tell me about it in detail."

It turned out that beating Old Deng's head could also bring him pleasure. Connor smiled very unkindly: "Professor, it's normal if you don't know. This is a new thing that has only become popular in the Muggle world in recent years. I learned at that time It’s also shocking when you’re at it, simply put, the internet is.”

Connor started a new round of popular science, and told Dumbledore what he had seen and heard in the Muggle world (his own company).

"So. You mean that Muggles can connect people in the whole world to exchange information through this Internet, right?" After listening to Connor's words, Dumbledore's face became serious, and he instinctively felt that , this computer + Internet thing will pose a terrible threat to the wizarding world in the future
"Yes, does it sound similar to my current Facebook interaction mode? But our current Facebook can only be counted as a small local area network, far from being an Internet that can communicate with anyone in the world, and Building a [magic network] belonging to our wizards is my goal now."

"Magic. Network?" Dumbledore's beard was about to be pulled off, "A great idea, but why didn't I see this term in this proposal? And how do you plan to use divination to do this? Excuse me I'm old and blind, and I really don't see the possibility of this in divination."

Aha, old Deng, you can't think of it!I am indeed a genius!Connor smiled triumphantly: "Of course not in the plan, because the construction of the magic net is the second part of the plan. Now Professor Victor's main task is not this, and in fact, the magic net that belongs to us does not need to be constructed by ourselves. , it’s always there, we just have to find it.”

"Always?" Dumbledore had a rare confused expression on his face. Connor's thoughts jumped too fast, and he really didn't want to understand.

Connor snapped his fingers, and Erlang's legs turned up: "That's right, after all, what we want to exchange on this network is actually a kind of information, and isn't what we divination is also information? "

"You mean!" Dumbledore's mind flashed, and he seemed to understand what Connor meant.

"[Everyone who walks will leave traces, and whoever looks for will be found], information will only disappear, it will not disappear, the magic network we need, the information library and server we need, in fact, this world has long been We wizards set it up, haven't we?"

"All we need now is the key to unlock this endless treasure trove of information."
