Admiral of Hogwarts

The success of the warp drive. It can be said to be a microcosm of the four years of hard work of the ship girls since they came to this world. Although the entire space program was launched less than a year ago, behind this is a microcosm of the busy work of the ship girls in the previous years.

After all, the space program is not something that one or two people can do on a whim, but requires a large amount of industrial foundation and technology to be accumulated in this area.

Although it is said that ship girls are far superior to humans in many aspects, matters related to industrial accumulation can only be accumulated bit by bit and cannot be achieved overnight.

In the past few years, the ship girls have obviously spent a lot of time and energy on various basic research and infrastructure preparations, so they were able to reach the current level in a short time after the start of the plan.

It is precisely with these materials prepared from the earth that the ship girls can quickly build several space stations, and use these space stations as springboards to go to the moon and Mars to absorb the resources there for the next step of development.

"What is the principle of this thing?" At this moment, Hermione walked up to the engine and asked curiously looking at the huge thing in front of her.

As a ship girl, she, like other ship girls, used to allocate a large amount of computing power to help with the overall design and calculation of the engine, but she did not know the principle of this thing.

"It's actually very close to the principle of apparation by wizards." After saying hello to the two ship girls working there, Hood came over and explained to Hugo and the others.

According to Hood, the most powerful thing about this engine is that it can directly extract the energy from the nuclear fusion reactor and convert it into magic power, and then use the magic power to create a miniature black hole.

Because of their low mass, Hawking radiation gives them a lifespan of about one nanosecond before evaporating into useless heat energy, and the spacecraft will take advantage of this short opportunity to quickly make a space jump through high-dimensional space.

In addition to opening the black hole, this engine can also generate a special magical defensive energy field to prevent the spacecraft and the people in the spacecraft from being exposed to higher dimensions.

"This world is really friendly to magic and magic." After briefly introducing the principles of the engine, Hood said with emotion.

"If we use conventional technology, we will need to extract energy from the engine and activate a quantum field to protect our spacecraft, which will require massive calculations to ensure safety."

"But if magic is used, the difficulty of operating the entire energy will be greatly reduced. In this way, we can save a lot of costs in manufacturing high-performance computers."

"In fact, compared to the space jump part of the spacecraft, the real difficulty is how to convert the energy generated by nuclear fusion into magic power." At this point, Hood looked at the engine in front of him with emotion.

"Fortunately, both the sun-like energy produced by nuclear fusion and the lightning-like energy produced by electric current can be stimulated by magic, so it is feasible from the perspective of magic theory to convert this energy back into magic. "

"This shouldn't be a simple matter." Hugo whispered immediately after hearing what Hood said. Because if this thing is very simple, then those magic props do not need to consume gems or store magic power, they only need to be charged.

"Yes, it is indeed not simple. At least compared to magic power, both the power of the sun and the power of electricity are inferior powers." Hood nodded and said.

"From the perspective of traditional magic knowledge, it is a very simple matter to convert energy from high-level energy to low-level energy, but it is very difficult to do the reverse."

"According to the information we have inquired before, there are more than one or two people in the wizarding world who have thought about this matter since the Industrial Revolution, but they have all failed."

"But we are very lucky, because we have previously obtained the method of making the goblin-specific earth-center furnace from Grindelwald's secret treasure. And here is the path for the conversion of lower energy to upper energy."

"I remember that the goblins' furnaces are mainly used for melting and refining materials for operation. There shouldn't be much that can be used for injecting magic power, right?" After hearing this, Hugo suddenly asked.

"Yes, this is why we have been busy during this period. Because the goblin's technology has only opened up a correct direction for us, and it still requires a lot of research to actually come up with the finished product." Hood nodded and said.

"It's no wonder that no wizards have ever achieved any commendable results in this area of ​​research before, because we found that many magic wizards required for this aspect of production are simply unable to master and use it."

"So that's it." After hearing what Hood said, Hugo and Hermione figured out why there were so many things that the great wizards didn't create but were created by the ship girl.

Because wizards tend to ignore the magical abilities of other creatures, let alone combine the power of other creatures to create something.

In addition to this subjective problem, various creatures such as wizards, goblins, and centaurs have their own spell-casting characteristics, so naturally there is no single race that can handle this matter single-handedly.

The combination of subjective and objective factors has resulted in no one making a decisive breakthrough in this regard except for a few people who had fantasies and made some less successful attempts over a long period of time.

Only fantasy creatures like ship girls can break through the shackles, integrate a series of forces together, and make unprecedented progress in this regard.

Of course, there are also the huge advances in technology made by Hugo and the shipgirls. Because the amount of energy required to convert lower-level energy into upper-level energy is very huge.

Therefore, the idea of ​​casting magic with a mobile phone battery, like Hugo's previous idea, is basically useless. Only a huge amount of energy similar to controllable nuclear fusion can reach the lowest value of conversion and convert it into magic power.

The space engine now in the warehouse has just been produced at the lunar base and shipped here, and is ready to be installed on several spacecraft that have been put into operation before.

According to Hood, this engine is more stable and can save more energy than the engine currently preparing for the first round of testing.

"Although we can determine the general direction, some details still need to be adjusted." Hood said to Hugo with a look of regret. "So now we can only use this simple method to conduct large-scale sampling experiments."

"However, these things have actually been confirmed to be safe in previous tests, so they can be used to collect data during short-distance space jumps between the Earth and Mars."

"You did the right thing." Hugo said very seriously after hearing this. "After all, we are now doing something that has never been done before, so it is very important for us to be cautious, and it doesn't matter if we spend more in this regard."

"Don't worry, we won't relax in this regard." Hood said with a shrug. "After all, this thing will be used by ordinary people in the future. If something happens, we can't afford the price."
