Admiral of Hogwarts

"Now we can only let Hagrid temporarily watch his brother hiding in the woods, or even tie up Hagrid's brother temporarily." At this time, Mr. Weasley, who went to get drinks, held two glasses Butterbeer came over and said.

"We can't use any magic, because the Ministry of Magic will have records when magic is used. If it happens once or twice, it won't be a big problem, but intensive use of magic in one place can easily attract the attention of the Ministry of Magic."

"If this is the problem, I think I can be of some help." After looking around and seeing that no one was paying attention, Hugo took a sip of butterbeer and said.

"At least our current level can create a space that covers a football field. Any magic used in this space will not be detected by the outside world."

"What, is this true?" After hearing what Hugo said, Sirius' eyes widened and he became excited. "Is it really possible to use magic there without being discovered?"

"Don't worry, this is a secret magic learned from your old house." Hugo said with a smile. "As long as you don't let the magic go out of range, it won't be a big problem."

"By the way, how to make that space? Does one of you need to be on site?" Mr. Weasley asked at this time. As the current head of the Weasley family who is talented in manufacturing, he is I know how troublesome this kind of thing is.

"That's not necessary. For the largest magic circle, I only need to make 36 rune stones in advance, and then you can place these rune stones at fixed points according to my requirements. It is not difficult."

Hugo said with a smile. Unlike ordinary wizards, both Hugo and the ship girls respect the traditions of industrial society, so when designing this new type of magic circle, they naturally adopted the most popular modular design.

Because of its modular design, this magic circle can naturally be disassembled into many small pieces and assembled where needed to form a magic barrier.

Compared with the traditional magic props in the wizarding world today, although Hugo's new invention cannot temporarily solve the inherent fragility of each moving part, it will undoubtedly require a higher cost to achieve the same level as the original magic props.

However, whether it is easy to install, simple to disassemble, flexible to use, or overall cost-effective and cost-effective, it is better than the original old-fashioned magic props.

"Do you only have concealment magic circles? Are they all large like this?" After Hugo introduced this set of magic props, Mr. Weasley, a veteran of the Order of the Phoenix, immediately asked, because he realized that this The value of magic-like items in war.

"Of course not. For example, the set of magic props I introduced to you before can be disassembled and used. Each rune stone can support a 10x10x10 space." Hugo shook his head and said.

"But compared to being used apart, these things can form a larger magic prop when brought together, covering a space that is much larger than the space created by the individual parts combined."

"As for the types of magic arrays, in addition to the magic array used to hide magic fluctuations, we also have a stealth magic array and a defensive magic array."

"Thank you, we will purchase these things from the mutual aid association then." Mr. Weasley raised his glass and said. "The hot butterbeer is good today, just enough to drink a little more."

Obviously, Hugo's previous secret plan was surprisingly effective. Although it is not clear whether Dumbledore saw any clues, at least most members of the Order of the Phoenix did not see where the real command core of this group of ship girls was. .

This is why Mr. Weasley changed the topic to something else, because in Mr. Weasley's opinion, people like Hugo and others are at best apprentices of the mutual aid association, so the topic is not suitable for deep conversation.

After drinking a glass of butterbeer, Hugo and the three of them left the Three Broomsticks pub together. After all, Sirius and the others seemed to have something to do, and it was not appropriate for them to stay there.

"Where are Harry and the others going?" When heading to the restaurant where Xuefeng and the others were, Hermione unexpectedly saw Harry, Ron and Ginny in front of them, also walking on the path. .

"We should go to the Pig's Head Bar. After all, there are only two shops on this road." Hugo glanced at the place where Hermione was looking before and said.

"I really hope Harry and the others can remember to bring their own cups. Luna told me that their Headmaster Flitwick said it is actually quite safe there. The only problem is that the hygiene situation is a bit worrying."

"It seems that Harry has decided to set up his study group, but to be honest, the information at the Pig's Head Bar is like a sieve. I can guarantee that Harry and the others will know about them before they return to Castle Umbridge." What are you doing?" Veneto said.

"Believe Harry and the others, at least I don't think Harry and the others will get into trouble so easily." Hugo smiled, and then followed Veneto and the others into the restaurant.

As soon as they entered the restaurant, they went to the private room that was never open to the public as usual, and then listened to Xuefeng's report on the recent situation while eating.

"——There are now six transport ships capable of hyperspace jump, and four of them will be put into use in the next two weeks." Yukikaze opened a holographic projection and began to report on the ship girl's actions in the recent period.

"Now the Mars base has started to be constructed according to our plan. The Mars-1 high-latitude base has found sufficient water sources and started cultivating various algae and magic plants."

"According to the plan, by Christmas, the Mars base will be able to meet the self-sufficiency of Mars and other bases in Mars orbit with necessities such as oxygen, water and food."

"This is very good news." Hugo nodded, "By the way, I remember that the largest space dock in our plan will be built in Mars orbit. How is the project status now?"

"The core parts are being assembled, and for this we have mobilized most of the productivity at hand." Xuefeng said, turning back two pages of the information. "But even the first phase of the project will not be completed until May next year."

"This is mainly because our current core mission is to build a Mars base and a series of industrial facilities on Mars, so the construction of ships in a short period of time can only rely on the shipyard in lunar orbit."

"I understand, this is the principle of sharpening the sword and cutting wood." Hugo smiled. He knew that the current construction project plan was scientifically planned by the ship girls, so he would not point fingers at it.

As just reported, there are a total of seven Mars bases in the first batch. In addition to three bases on the surface of Mars, they also include an unattended armed outpost on Phobos and three space stations.

According to the plan, the first batch of construction is mainly to solve the problem of permanent survival of personnel on Mars and to establish most of the supporting industrial facilities needed for the future Mars dock.

And when all those constructions are completed, the real space colonization work in their plan can begin, and this will also be the first step for mankind to become a space race.
