Alchemy Black Technology at Hogwarts

Chapter 159 The Transformation of Hogwarts

Almost before William knew it, the weeks-long Christmas break was over.

But he didn't waste this precious time.

At the opening dinner, William proudly shared his recent achievements with Penello.

"So, you really moved your appliances into Hogwarts?"

Penelope blinked, feeling a little unbelievable and said - as we all know, Hogwarts Castle cannot use electrical appliances, not because there is no external power supply here, but because it is cursed and the use of all electrical appliances is prohibited.

As early as when William first entered school, he tried to address this point, and came to the conclusion that even if he moved in a generator and let the electrical appliances run for a short time, the electrical appliances would still be affected by some kind of force, and soon It was scrapped.

"It's not so much a household appliance, but a product that uses magic to imitate household appliances. You will find a surprise later."

William showed a slightly smug smile.

During the Christmas holiday, he shuttled back and forth between London and Diagon Alley, while buying various electrical appliances, and at the same time quickly scrapping electrical appliances - it is not an easy task to use magic gold to generate energy instead of electricity .

Wanting to run an electrical appliance with magic power is not as simple as tapping it with a wand and shouting a spell.The magic version of the radio is not so much the magic version of the electrical version, but it actually establishes a set of rules that look similar to ordinary radios, but are actually completely different.

The magic version of the radio cannot connect to ordinary radio stations. The only stations it can connect to are broadcast by wizards, and that is enough.

William needs to accurately simulate the corresponding voltage and stable current, so that the circuit of the electrical appliance will not be overloaded and burned in a short period of time, or it will not meet the basic standards for starting.

Originally, this would be a very time-consuming project, because magic is not like alternating current, which is supported by a whole set of physical theories, but an almost idealistic existence. Even until now, the wizarding world has not studied it. Come out with a unit that can measure the strength of magic power.

But at least William was smart enough to realize that he didn't need to start all over again before falling into the quagmire of the basic magic system.What he needs to do is actually to use magic power to imitate electricity on the basis of inheriting the functions of electrical appliances to supply energy for them.

This is much easier.

Different from electricity, magic power is a kind of energy that exists in the material itself, it can only be controlled by the wizard, and if it is extracted in a large amount in a short period of time, the material itself will be lost.But if the use of magic power is always kept within a certain range, then magic power can be regenerated infinitely.

Ancient runes, or runes, are a very suitable carrier of magic power, capable of stabilizing and outputting magic power. What William needs is to find an appropriate rune language and compile it into a A flexible array of runes is used to guide and control the generation and delivery of magic power.

After spending a lot of time studying the materials at hand, and scrapping countless gramophones, so that the employees of the electrical appliance store mistook William for buying and selling, and offered to give him a part of the commission, William finally succeeded in writing a letter. text array.

It has only one function, which is to make the magic power almost indistinguishable from electricity. It can change the size of the magic power generated according to the adjustment of the rune array, and activate the circuit boards in the electrical appliances so that they can operate normally.At the same time, it is not electricity, but a special manifestation of magic.

"If something looks like an appliance and works like one, it's actually a magic item."

William came up with a slang term that originally read: "If an animal looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's a duck."

Although the current rune array still needs to be improved, for example, it actually originally used the core rune "" not to simulate electricity with magic power, but to represent the sun. In order to balance it, William added "I", which means It is ice, which is considered to have the meaning of "blocking" in a deeper sense in the interpretation.

At the same time, the rune "" representing the yew tree can be used to stabilize the magic power, and "" is responsible for controlling the output of magic power.It can perform exactly the function that William wanted. Rather than saying that William has a deeper understanding of runes, it is better to say that he was lucky and happened to make this bug look a bit like a program.

"But at least it's enough for now."

William comforted himself. This rune array is composed of 7 runes in total, and the relative positions and writing methods of the runes are all very subtle. He found that runes are indeed a kind of magical writing.

Runes are used according to certain rules, but it is not an easy task to analyze this rule, at least it is not a job that William can use the wizard's brain to complete.

"If I want to analyze the underlying logic of the runes, I must improve my current calculation ability, and find the laws by changing the subtle differences between the runes in the rune array. To improve the calculation power, it should be impossible to use a computer. It's too realistic, and the technology tree of this era is not that advanced."

William thought carefully.

If he can successfully classify Mr. Anderson into the category of magical creatures and legally understand the existence of magic, he can find professors in ordinary people's universities and ask them to help establish this system.

But to make this process a reality, he still needs to perform an extremely large amount of mathematical calculations.

"Ding, ding."

The sound of Dumbledore knocking on the wine glass came from the teacher's seat, and everyone looked at the source of the sound.Dumbledore, who was wearing a snow-white wizard robe and shining like a star, stood up.

"Before today's dinner is over, I have a few things to announce first."

Dumbledore looked around the auditorium, everyone looked at him, and no one spoke.

"First of all, I think some of you may already know that the Quidditch House Cup will resume this semester - the new schedule will be posted on the bulletin boards in the common room of each college, interested students can Check it out for yourself."

"awesome!"

His words only made a small part of the students shout out excitedly, most of them had actually heard the news before Christmas.

"That doesn't seem interesting enough? Well, let me satisfy your curiosity."

Dumbledore took out his wand with a smile, and a large curtain was suddenly suspended from the air. At the same time, all the candles and torches were completely extinguished, and the entire auditorium was plunged into darkness.
