The Magical Principles of Natural Philosophy at Hogwarts

If you just want to deal with conventional projectile gunpowder weapons, there are naturally many ways.

For example, prohibiting the occurrence of nearby burning phenomena that do not involve magic power, so that gunpowder cannot be ignited; or create a rust field, so that metal products can be quickly scrapped; at the extreme, you can even start directly from the weapon holder, lock nearby firearms, and then kill them directly. The dead holder will naturally not be shot by the gun.

After dealing with Muggles for so many years, wizards should have summed up at least the way to deal with light weapons.

But what Erwin thought of was the battle between the two senior vampires he saw at the time. Although it was only a few seconds, he was very impressed.

The three-to-four-meter-long horny giant blade created by Melanie in full body with blood magic cuts down at the speed of sound. How should she defend against a physical blow of this level?The 70-meter-long big cousin in the Romanian farm, how much can it resist a claw attack or tail sweep?

While thinking, Erwin warned himself again not to be confused by the female vampire's current appearance and attitude.

If Nicole Flamel's legacy has such a super armor with extremely high hardness, high toughness, first-class shock absorption and will not cause too much burden to the wearer, then Erwin's problem will naturally be solved, but unfortunately it does not No.

Although it is said that a master alchemist who has lived for more than 600 years must have many wonderful collections, he will not put them all in one hut.

So Erwin can only figure out a way by himself.

It really made him find a solution. He found a set of rune codes in LeMay's collection that could construct a "strong repulsion field".

The repulsive force field centered on itself exerts repulsive force on any approaching object, causing it to slow down and deviate from the original track. In theory, as long as the repulsive force is strong enough, it can be regarded as a physical shield to defend against any physical attack.

The question now is how to modify the code to generate enough repulsion while at the same time engraving it on a ring.

Erwin had a hunch that the difficulty of making the strong rebuke ring was at least several times that of the armor ring.

But he has plenty of time.

He wrote to Mrs. Malkin's robe shop in Diagon Alley, and a day later, Erwin learned that there was a fabric woven from snowman hair and giant South American spider silk on the market, which could effectively protect against Muggle bullets. The strongest clothing material allowed to be sold.

It is light, storage-resistant, does not require much maintenance, and has good ductility. The only disadvantage is that it is expensive because it must be woven by hand.

After thinking about it for a while, Erwin spent a huge sum of 820 Galleons and ordered two pieces of "Sharp Blade Protective Lining" made of this fabric.

In the wizarding world, as long as the money is in place, things will be easy to handle. After three days, Erwin received his order, and Saby also sent a small box, which came from Professor Stuart .

Inside the box was a black metal object.

Israeli mini-Uzi (UZI) submachine gun, new finished product, equipped with five magazines, ready to fire immediately.

After getting the courier, Erwin immediately started an experiment, using hard shell beetle powder and volcanic slug mucus to make a large group of gel, and then put a sharp blade protective lining on it, standing ten meters away, Empty a clip in the Uzi.

The lining itself was not damaged at all. Erwin opened it and saw a lot of scattered cracks on the gel, but they were not big, and the gel itself was not broken.

This blade guard liner absorbs most of the kinetic energy on the bullet, which means it provides real protection, not just bullet penetration.

Then its performance in defending against cold weapon strikes will inevitably be better.

Of course, in the magic world, this can only be regarded as the most basic means of protection, but after all, it can be bought directly with Garen, and it is still worth the money.

The issue of defense is put aside for the time being, and the next step in improving one's own combat effectiveness is the offensive aspect. Erwin asked Felwood to send him an Uzi submachine gun through Professor Stuart, not just to test the performance of the blade's protective lining.

After the overall magic power reserve and magic power rate have been greatly improved, the revolver with only six rounds of ammunition should be eliminated.

There are a lot of offensive magic, and what should be considered is the issue of output efficiency, that is, how to achieve the highest attack effect with the least magic power.

So for the current Irwin, the cost-effectiveness of any offensive spell is definitely not as good as that of kinetic energy. This is his natural ability, and he does not need a magic wand to be an unrivaled advantage.

The use of black magic requires enough malice, and it will inevitably affect one's own mental state in the long run. This is something Erwin is very resistant to.

What's more, it is not only black magic that can cause destructive and harmful consequences. The current wizarding society thinks that only black magic can have huge lethality because of its limited awareness.

But Erwin believes that in time, he can definitely make uranium-235 fission without a trace of malice.

Of course, this mini Uzi was not used directly. Erwin disassembled it, removed the striker part, and then let the fully automatic forging tools in the workshop of Lemay's cabin create a one-to-one copy. It is a high-strength alloy specially made by the master alchemist.

At least on this planet, natural super metals such as mithril and fine gold do not exist, and magic cannot go beyond the scope of the periodic table of elements.Therefore, for wizards, metal materials are much less valuable than biological materials.

Of course, the inscription of the rune can make the metal also have magic power, but that obviously does not belong to the category of "natural".

In fact, for Erwin's ability to impart kinetic energy, the bullets fired have nothing to do with the style of the gun itself.But designing a firearm that is easy to hold, simple in structure, and easy to replace accessories also requires very professional knowledge. It is obviously the best choice to imitate a mature and extensively tested design.

Erwin decided to make a weapon for himself, a weapon independent of the wand.

In the end, the barrel and barrel were made of keel, which could inscribe the runes more efficiently. At present, the two runes codes of powerful magic power transmission and electromagnetic acceleration should be considered.

The firearm itself must also be enhanced, at least with rust resistance, deformation resistance, and disarm resistance.

The bullets should also be inscribed with runes, code the effects of the Armor Curse and the Cutting Curse into runes, and then intercept some effective fragments. The magic offset effect of the former can make the fired ammunition less susceptible to spell interference, and the latter The latter can significantly increase the penetration.

The idea is very good, but I don't have any idea how to operate it for a while.

There are many things to do, and they are all difficult. Erwin feels the pressure. After all, in addition to trying to make the ring of rebuke and rune guns, he also needs to practice a lot of spells. Since he no longer has to worry about the recovery of mana, He intends to learn all the practical spells he can find, so that he will be able to deal with any situation he faces.

Fortunately, he has a lot of time, really a lot, and he's only a sophomore.

Having stayed in Flamel's hut for several days, Erwin felt that he should show some face to the school rules and regulations, and he should go back to the dormitory to sleep.

Neville was very excited when he saw Erwin, and told him about the mandrake in herbal medicine class.

"Under the leaves are baby-shaped roots, which make an awful cry. I never expected to see such a miraculous thing with my own eyes..."

Erwin realized that he seemed to have skipped a class that he shouldn't have missed. He completely forgot about herbal medicine when he was conducting experiments in Flamel's cabin.

He couldn't teach himself how to cultivate specific herbs in advance, not to mention that Mandrake is a very advanced and precious herb, and its mature juice is an important raw material for various antidotes, which can be used to calm most spells and demons. damage caused by the drug.

If anyone is to say who is the best producer at Hogwarts, it must be Professor Sprout. There is no doubt that her greenhouse can cultivate many high-value herbs in batches.

But having said that, mandrakes are of high value and at the same time dangerous, is it really appropriate for second-year students to participate in the cultivation process...

In any case, Erwin still has to apologize to Professor Sprout.

It was a good night's dream. The next day, Erwin concentrated on the content of his courses, and then went to the library, and the day passed like that.

At night, Erwin lying on the bed sank in consciousness, was half asleep and half awake, and was about to fall into a deep sleep, but he suddenly sensed something, sat up suddenly, grabbed the wand beside the pillow and pointed it at the black shadow beside the bed.

"It's me." Melanie whispered.

"What are you going to do?" Erwin's vigilance still did not relax.

A beautiful little girl visits the boys' dormitory at night, and things seem to be going in a strange direction, but Erwin will never forget that the girl in front of him is a vampire who has lived for an unknown number of years.

"Keep quiet." Melanie put her slender hands on her lips, "Use your stealth spell and follow me, she hasn't gone far."

"Her? Who?" Erwin was at a loss.

But Melanie didn't seem to intend to explain too much. Her body turned into a faint black phantom. It seemed that although most of her power was imprisoned, she could still use some small means.

Erwin cast the Four Stealth Curse on himself, and followed Melanie quietly out of the Gryffindor Tower.

Then they saw a girl with red hair ahead of them.

Erwin recalled that it was Ginny, the first-year freshman, the youngest girl in the Weasley family, who usually had no sense of presence.

"What are we doing with her?" Erwin asked Melanie.

"Shh-"

From Erwin's point of view, wandering around the school without sleeping at night was quite normal, but it was surprising that Ginny, a first-year girl, dared to do so.

What surprised him even more was that Ginny didn't walk towards the library, but towards the main building of the castle, and finally entered the... bathroom on the second floor.

This female vampire took me to watch a girl go to the bathroom?Erwin thought it was a little funny.

But is it necessary to go so far in order to solve the physiological problem?Could it be that the toilet in the Gryffindor girls' dormitory is clogged?
