Connor's Hogwarts

"Connor, the newspaper scolded you very harshly..."

In the Magic Experiment Studio next to Connor's Armstrong Tower...

Connor was researching his magic as always, and the experiment was not urgent, so Connor was experimenting with magic easily, and he had already regarded magic research as a pastime.

The 2b robot in a maid outfit stood beside him holding juice, but Angel sat next to Connor and watched him do the experiment seriously.

The words just now were spoken by Blanche, who was sitting on the other side reading the newspaper.

"Ha, it's a mediocrity not to be envied by others. I don't care how those happy people arrange me. Anyway, I won't lose a penny." Connor smiled lightly without raising his head: "The new version of Facebook is the only one. It’s just starting to go on sale, and after a while they won’t have time to scold me.”

Blanche put down the newspaper and looked over calmly: "So Connor is very confident about this new product."

"Of course, this is an epoch-making product. Of course, it is not yet considered a landmark product. I have recently broken through several technical barriers. The next version of Facebook will make the world crazy..."

Sensing the madness in Connor's words, Blanche tilted her head, not quite understanding: "What Connor means"

Connor did not stop what he was doing and asked: "Blanche, what do you think of my version of Facebook?"

"Very powerful, very convenient, and easy to use." Blanche said concisely.

Connor chuckled: "That's because there are too few people in our magic world. A Facebook with twenty contacts is enough to meet most people's needs... You think it is very useful now, but in my eyes, This Facebook is still too troublesome..."

"Blanche, look at this..."

Connor waved his hand, and a copy of The Times floated into Blanche's hand.

Blanche took it with confusion. When did Connor have the habit of reading Muggle newspapers? This seemed to be an old newspaper from a few months ago. A piece of news was framed with a pen. Blanche put this The news read out:

"The work published on i by Tim Berners-Lee, a Ph.D. in physics from our country, was a huge success..."

After Blanche finished reading, she looked at Connor: "Connor, this is..."

"The World Wide Web, Blanche, this is a new power that the Muggles are about to master that can change the world. While we wizards are still tinkering with potions and obsessed with lasers, the Muggles are already preparing to take the world into their hands. ..."

"... Blanche doesn't understand."

Connor said with a smile: "Blanqi, do you know about the Internet?"

Blanche shook her head. She was just a 13-year-old girl with a bit of talent. How could she know these ghost things.

"You can understand it as... this is a network that connects the entire world... It is a "network" used to exchange information. People can upload information to this network, store information, and Transfer information through the network, download information..."

"As long as they are connected to the Internet, even two people on both sides of the Atlantic can communicate instantly..."

"But...can't wizards do that too, just like Connor your Facebook."

Connor whistled: "That's because of me, there is something like Facebook. Without me, wizards would have to rely on owls to communicate with Yankees across the Atlantic."

"So...the Internet isn't that big of a deal..." Blanche tilted her head, not quite understanding.

"No, no, no, Blanche, you haven't seen the real power hidden in this...the power of information. Information is not as simple as words and conversations. What we can see, hear and touch Everything in this world that is tangible and intangible is actually a kind of information."

"The future will belong to the era of information, Blanche." Connor raised his head and looked at his confused cousin, smiling:

"Human beings' abilities have limits, and the power of a human being is extremely small, but there are indeed differences between individuals. The gap between the strong and the weak can be very, very large."

"We can one-sidedly believe that the more information a person has, the stronger he will be, such as knowledge. Knowledge is a kind of information. The more knowledge a person has, the stronger the individual will become. There is nothing wrong with this method. Bar."

Blanche thought for a while and nodded, as if this was indeed the case.

Connor spread his hands: "Since information is very important, then the importance of the Internet, which can completely change the way information is disseminated, is self-evident."

Blanche was stunned, as if...this was also the case: "So, Connor, what do you mean?"

Connor showed an ambitious smile and opened his hands: "So I also want to build an Internet that belongs to us wizards. Facebook is just my first step. In the future I envision, wizards can not only Call freely via Facebook..."

"For example, Blanche, do you know why you can't use magic freely?"

"Because Blanche doesn't have the talent to cast spells..."

"No, no, no, okay, actually it is, but, isn't it because you are unable to cast spells because your bloodline lacks this information about spell casting?"

Blanche was stunned again, and then heard Connor again:

"If I upload the information you lack to the magic network I established, and then you download the magic information in some way, will you be able to cast spells freely?"

Blanche's pupils shrank sharply, and she said with a little trembling: "Connor... can this really be done?"

Connor shrugged and said with a smile: "Of course, this is just an idea of ​​mine at the moment. I don't know if it can be successful now. Even if it can be done, I don't know how many years it will be."

"My short-term goal is to build a simple network where wizards can communicate freely. By then, Facebook won't have to bother with exchanging lenses... In fact, if I want to achieve this level, I'm almost I can already succeed, and the knowledge inheritance I received from Ravenclaw is enough for me to do this..."

Blanche was still immersed in the shock and couldn't extricate herself. In fact, "Squib" has always been a knot in her heart. Although she can do simple spellcasting, she is always different from wizards.

She has always felt that she is far away from Connor's world. Although she has been trying hard to get closer, she also knows clearly that the gap between wizards and squibs is not so easy to cross...

But...in the future described by Connor...maybe it is really possible...

"Haha, Blanche, come and try this thing for me~"

Suddenly, Blanche saw Connor throwing something towards her. She hurriedly took it and took a closer look, but it was...a pen.

Blanche tilted her head, her big eyes were full of doubts.
