Chapter 30 What kind of wood is this?
By mid-October, the Galaxy Group's construction business was booming, and the clothing business was gradually getting back on track after Mrs. Weasley joined.
Remus Lupin's letters were always hurried, but he was very content with such a fulfilling and busy life.
During this period, Liu Sen was thinking about a question while studying and writing letters: Why is the development of the magic world so slow?
Liu Sen thought of the African continent on Blue Star in his previous life. There is no need to say much about the physical fitness of black people. Just look at the Olympics, basketball and football.
Perhaps a long time ago, there were not only black people but also people of all skin colors on the African savannah. But except for black people, no one could survive in a place full of dangers.
In the eyes of the brave black people, Africa is a paradise. They chase lions, roast crocodiles, burn fat cattle, and catch gazelles all day long. Their life is full of joy!
While others are developing weapons and technology, they can live comfortably on their own, so why bother to make progress?
What they lacked in tools they made up for in physical fitness! All they needed was a small broken arrow with a range of 10 meters and a spear made of stone or wood to have fun on the prairie.
(Later, when Westerners brought guns to Africa, it was another tragic story.)
Let's look at the Indians in the Americas. Their physical fitness and tools are average, but their location is great! The chosen place to start!
The crops were all corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes, and pumpkins that could be easily planted and yielded high yields, and there was also an endless supply of bison and fat fish.
(Later, when Westerners came to America with guns, it became a familiar tragic story.)
Innate advantages and geographical advantages may not be the only reasons for their backwardness, but there are similarities between them on the wizards' side.
Through the Industrial Revolution, ordinary society has made several major strides in a hundred years. From horse-drawn carriages to steam cars and then to cars driven by internal combustion engines, airplanes flying in the sky, submarines swimming in the sea, and spacecraft in outer space!
There are many things that ordinary people cannot do, so find ways to achieve them! Explore!
But for wizards, most of the Muggle changes are useless. They don't need to care what drives the car. As long as they want, they can wave their wand to go; if they want to fly, they can fly on a broom. If they want to dive, a Bubblehead Charm can solve it, or Transfiguration can also do it...
The convenience of "magic can do everything" and the habit of not needing to explore the principles behind it have made wizards numb and arrogant. They have already fallen behind without realizing it.
Liu Sen knew that the cultivation world in China was different from other places and had long been integrated with ordinary people. When the world adhered to the law of confidentiality, China undoubtedly became an outlier.
The wizarding world of many countries does not dare to have in-depth exchanges with China. They do not have such foresight nor such courage!
Liu Sen has learned from his correspondence with his uncle that China is now isolated from all other countries. Many new ideas and measures cannot be implemented freely. Chunchun is being dragged down by a bunch of stupid teammates!
Putting aside his random thoughts, Liu Sen had something urgent to deal with - his magic wand!
The seal that the two professors had put together was still on his wand, preventing him from casting magic outside of Transfiguration and Charms classes.
Thanks to the magical sealing chain, Liu Sen can always feel the flow of every bit of magic power and the process of rune construction more carefully when waving the Thunder Wand.
However good and detailed the "simulation" is, it still needs to be verified in practice!
It’s just like in a game, you have been practicing your skills in the training ground with proficiency X10 for a long time, so of course you will look forward to entering the official game and killing everyone!
Although Liu Sen has mastered special spellcasting techniques by combining Chinese magic, he can use twigs, paintbrushes and even fingers as magic wands to cast spells!
But every profession has its specialties, and small items like twigs will become scrapped after one use. Moreover, compared with magic wands, items that have not been processed and have no core are extremely clumsy to use, and their accuracy and power are far behind those of a standard magic wand!
The spellcasting experience gained with the Thunder Wand must be verified with a normal wand!
So Liu Sen came to Hagrid's new house and said straight to the point: "Hagrid, I want to ask you for some materials!"
Hagrid, who was baking rock cakes, was wearing a fireproof apron produced by the Galaxy Group and said happily: "Haha, Liu Sen, I can finally help you! What do you want? Just take it! You know where it is!"
Liu Sen helped him move, and of course knew that Hagrid was referring to his basement, which was piled with the "junk" he collected from the Forbidden Forest.
Liu Sen was not polite. After thanking Hagrid, he went down the stairs to the spacious underground floor.
The design of the basement was Liu Sen's special request. The area here is as large as the one above! It is surrounded by thick concrete, and Professor Flitwick was asked to help cast reinforcement magic!
This way Liu Sen will have a place to conduct elegant and harmonious (dangerous and exciting) magic experiments! Unfortunately, Liu Sen has been a bit busy recently, and his Thunder Wand is temporarily in the "learning machine" state, so he can't use it freely.
On a row of storage racks, Liu Sen saw at a glance a small bundle of things emitting a faint silvery white glow - unicorn tail hair!
This kind of pure creature is not common in the magical world, but fortunately there is a group of unicorns in the Forbidden Forest!
Hagrid has been in the Forbidden Forest for many years. The unicorns are familiar with him and occasionally greet Hagrid from a distance.
And every time this happens, Hagrid collects their fallen tail feathers - and makes them into feather dusters!
Liu Sen has seen Hagrid sweeping dust with it. This pure and sacred material makes the unicorn feather duster a great dust remover! I wonder if the wand master Ollivander would cry when he sees it!
Liu Sen picked out a dozen with good quality and hung the rest back.
"I got some unicorn tail hair! This thing is perfect for making wands!" Liu Sen said to Hagrid as he returned to the oven.
"Why only take this little? I have a lot of unicorn tail hair! Sometimes when I come across short ones in the Forbidden Forest, I don't even pick up the long and complete ones. You don't have to be polite to me, just take them all!" Hagrid has never been interested in money. He treated a gold mountain as a dirt bag and said nonchalantly.
"These are enough for my experiments. I'll get more when I need them. By the way, Hagrid, where can I find some good wood?" Liu Sen asked as he smelled the fragrance from the oven and helped Hagrid add a few pieces of wood into the stove.
"What kind of wood do you want?" As he said this, Hagrid put on gloves, opened the oven lid and took a look. He felt that the fire was not enough, so he added a few more pieces of wood.
Liu Sen thought for a moment: "Woods that can be used to make wands, such as yew, hawthorn, walnut, cypress, oak..."
Hagrid threw the last piece of wood and clapped his hands, then paused suddenly at this.
"Um... what we just burned was cypress and oak..."
Liu Sen: “…”
"The beams of my old house were made of purple sandals... but you blew them up..."
"...!?o(╥﹏╥)o"
Finally, Liu Sen searched through Hagrid's firewood pile and only found a few small branches.
Liu Sen gently bent the branch in his hand and found it to be very flexible. He was surprised and said, "Hagrid, what tree is this from? It has a lot of magic power! It can be used as a wand!"
Hagrid thought for a moment and said hesitantly, "This... I don't recommend you to use it. Although I don't know how to make a wand, but this..."
Liu Sen was surprised and asked, "What's wrong with this? What kind of tree is this? It looks like a willow, but it's harder than a willow."
"This... is the Whomping Willow!" said Hagrid.
Liu Sen: ...
