Connor's Hogwarts

"I kind of understand how to use this computer..."

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

"Although I am surprised that Muggles without magical abilities can build such a complicated machine, but... in fact, if we want to achieve this level, it will not be difficult, right?"

Dumbledore took out his purple 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 can just accept the knowledge of divination. But what is written in this plan is..."to create a magic computer for wizards."...What's going on?"

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 from just talking, and said: "Decades ago, a man named John The Muggle mathematician von Neumann created a set of computer architecture. He believed that a computer consists of five parts: input device, memory, arithmetic unit, controller and output device..."

Connor was talking, and Dumbledore was listening and nodded: "This is very reasonable. I never dare to underestimate the Muggle elite. Apart from being able to use magic, we wizards are not much smarter than them... OK OK , I won’t disturb you, you continue talking.”

Connor rolled his eyes, how smart he is. There are only a few smart people among wizards. To put it bluntly, they are a bunch of rabble who only know how to waste natural resources. They have such foul abilities as magic and don’t know how to study and utilize them. They just do it every day. Knowing how to shoot lasers at each other...it's so stupid...

"Professor, you are right. My Facebook is currently 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 part-time in memory computing. The CPU of the processor and controller is just that 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 the plan you asked Setima to give me..."

"This is very necessary research, Professor." Connor interrupted Dumbledore unceremoniously, "Don't think that Facebook seems to be very powerful now. It has to crush Muggle computers in terms of functions. In fact, This is almost the limit of Facebook’s capabilities..."

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.

"Currently, Facebook can only support less than a hundred people. Professor, do you understand what I mean? I didn't intentionally set up so few, but I can only set up so many card slots. Any more will not work."

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 limits of ability. Its ability to understand, record and store information, and process information on its own all have limits. It can handle the information exchanged by a small network of less than a hundred people. The little fox's abilities are at their 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, not to mention these mass-produced magic props." Connor spread his hands, "But this is far from enough. Professor, we cannot stop here and are just satisfied with this small interactive network. , although our wizarding world is not big, but wanting to connect the entire wizarding world is not something I can do now, so this plan should, no, must, must be carried out."

"..." Dumbledore touched his beard and thought for a long time before speaking: "You mean... you want to use divination to strengthen Facebook's ability, so that Mira can handle extremely large amount of information”

"Almost, half right."

"But why divination? Although divination can strengthen calculation ability to a certain extent, it is still different from achieving your goal." Dumbledore narrowed his eyes, "You just said you wanted to use the entire The wizarding world is connected... Is this something that can be achieved through divination? This plan does not mention this aspect. 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 heard of the Internet?"

""

Dumbledore pressed his temples. He wondered whether he really could not keep up with the times. Sure enough, the future should be left to young people. What should a half-buried old man like me worry about here every day...

"I haven't heard of it, Connor, please tell me in detail..."

It turns out that hitting Old Deng's head can also bring him pleasure. Connor smiled unkindly and said: "It's normal for you not to know, Professor. This is a new thing that has only become popular in the Muggle world in recent years. I learned at that time I was also shocked. Simply put, the Internet is..."

Connor started a new round of popular science and told Dumbledore what he had seen in the Muggle world.

"So... you are saying that Muggles can connect people all over the world to exchange information through this Internet, right?" After listening to Connor's words, Dumbledore's face became solemn, and he I instinctively feel that this computer and Internet thing will pose a very terrible threat to the wizarding world in the future...

"Yes, it sounds very similar to my current Facebook interaction model, but our current Facebook can only be regarded as a small local area network, far from being an Internet that can communicate with anyone in the world, and the components One that belongs to our wizards is my current goal.”

"Magic...Network?" Dumbledore almost pulled out his beard, "It's a great idea, but why didn't I see this term in this plan? And how do you plan to use divination to do this? Forgive me. With my old eyesight, I really don’t see the possibility of realizing this through divination..."

Aha, you didn’t expect it, Old Deng, I am indeed a genius. Connor smiled proudly: “Of course it’s not in the plan, because building the magic network is the second part of the plan, and Professor Victor’s main task now is not this. And...actually, the magic network that belongs to us does not need to be built by ourselves, it has always been there, we just need to find it."

"Always there." Dumbledore had a rare expression of confusion on his face. Connor's thoughts were jumping too fast and he really didn't understand.

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

"You mean?" An idea flashed in Dumbledore's mind, and he seemed to understand what Connor meant.

"Information will only disappear, not disappear. The magic network we need, the information database and server we need, in fact, this world has been built for us wizards a long time ago, isn't it?"

"What we lack now is just the...key to open this endless treasure house of information."
