Science and magic at Hogwarts

Chapter 112 Lupine the Demon

The day's work made Kyle a little tired. After dinner, instead of going directly to the library, he chose to go back to the lounge.

It is worth mentioning that dinner is finally not British.

Most of the little snakes will choose to go back to the lounge for a while after dinner.

Different from the laughing and fighting in the lounge of the lions, the lounge of the little snake is much quieter.

The little snakes sat and chatted together in twos and threes.

The period after dinner is an important social stage for these mature little guys.

Kyle can often see a little snake can't wait to go back to the dormitory after dinner, and then return to the lounge with a radiant face.

Kyle was different, he would never do that.

Because no matter when and where, he will keep his face radiant.

The protagonist of today's lounge is Malfoy again.

It's not because of his family's strength, but because this little guy has done another important thing today.

In Slytherin, as long as it can step down Gryffindor, it is a big deal.

Kyle listened to Malfoy's bragging, and suddenly found that this little guy was really full of action at certain times.

For today's plan, he first persuaded his father to secretly donate 7 light wheels 2001, and then entrusted Ravenclaw's friends to inquire about the training time of the Gryffindor Quidditch team.

After knowing the accurate news in the morning, he hurried to find Professor Snape and got the approval slip for the use of the Quidditch pitch.

The time was the scheduled time for Gryffindor.

By the way, on this matter... my own professor is pretty boring...

When Kyle saw Malfoy in the afternoon, they formed a group to provoke the Gryffindor team.

This group of guys waited for the Gryffindor players to finish warming up before appearing on the Quidditch pitch belatedly.

And proudly holding up his own professor's approval note, let the group of dumbfounded Gryffindor players get out of the field.

Slytherin's provocation of course caused a fight, but the result of the fight made Kyle very satisfied.

In order to save Gryffindor's face, I won't name them here.

Some red-haired imp tried to curse Malfoy with a broken wand, but his wand lived up to expectations and bounced the magic back.

The poor little redhead is said to have put on a puking slug on the spot.

It's just... a joy!
At that time, Malfoy just taunted the vault of a red-haired family whose author could not be named, which caused the brawl.

It can only be said that this little bastard's taunting skills are really full, especially when facing the trio of saviors.

Going to the Gryffindor lounge now would definitely be considered a provocation, otherwise Kyle really wanted to watch... No, he wanted to visit Harry to see if he was injured!

The news heard in the lounge put Kyle in such a good mood that the speed of the next research was accelerated a bit.

Back in the dormitory, he threw the two books borrowed at noon to the guardian dog, and Kyle continued to improve the new magic.

The night time was divided very carefully by Kyle.

One hour is spent researching new magic.

One hour is used to perfect the flying magic circle.

Improve energy cores for two hours.

The last hour randomly researching something that interests him.

Every day.

This is the reason why Kyle's strength has soared, and even the confrontation with ordinary Aurors can not be defeated.

But Kyle is currently at a bottleneck.

For ordinary adult wizards, Kyle's strength is enough to deal with it.

But there are still a group of elite wizards who have experienced the first magic war in the magic world.

The strength of those guys may be comparable to Kyle, but their experience and fighting instincts are incomparable to Kyle.

Especially the members of the Order of the Phoenix at that time, and those Aurors who were always fighting on the front line.

Having gone through hundreds of battles and narrowly escaped death, these words are not an exaggeration for them.

This makes fighting almost become their instinct.

To surpass them, either Kyle has an overwhelming strength advantage, or he needs to make up for his lack of experience.

But this kind of life-and-death experience, how could it be easy to accumulate.

Soon, an hour passed, and there was almost no progress in the new magic, but the practice of the current research was more proficient.

Next is the study of the flying magic circle.

In the last semester, Kyle has been discussing with the two professors of Charms and Mageweaves, even during the holidays, and he has not relaxed at all.

This makes the progress of the flying magic circle very gratifying.

80% of the overall magic array research and development has been completed, and the rest is constant optimization, trial and error.

It is no exaggeration to say that if necessary, Kyle can already rely on the energy accumulated by Hogwarts for thousands of years to take this ancient castle soaring into the sky.

Although it will soon fall from the sky due to lack of energy.

Kyle was distressed to find that in order to prevent this from happening, it seems that a means of emergency landing needs to be studied.

The problems are really increasing.

This made Kyle more urgent to form a professional team.

The research on the energy core is also in trouble. The achievements of the predecessors' research for thousands of years have really been perfected.

Although Kyle realized the miniaturization of the energy core, and then drew a brand new energy-gathering magic circle based on countless reduced energy-gathering magic circles, the effect was somewhat unsatisfactory.

Because the decay rate of energy aggregation efficiency is really amazing.

The new energy-gathering circle composed of ten reduced magic circles is 7 times more efficient than a single energy core.

But one hundred shrunken magic circles form a new energy-gathering circle, and the effect is only 20 times that of the original.

The subsequent attempts made Kyle almost desperate.

No matter how he expands the size of the magic circle, the effect of this superposition can only be increased to 50 times.

After that, no matter how superimposed, the increase is very small.

The magic pattern of the energy core has been the best solution for thousands of years. Starting from the magic circle, it is almost impossible to continue to improve.

If only relying on the concentrated energy circle with 50 times the effect, it can barely float a small island, but this is meaningless.

Because there is no excess energy to supply other modules.

Protection, ecology, people's livelihood, magic research, these are all big energy consumers.

Even if the ecology is not considered, the floating island without protective measures is just a target.

This made Kyle start thinking about the world.

Energy is an important support for the progress of a civilization.

Without enough energy, no civilization can develop.

So, has the magical civilization of this world reached the upper limit allowed by this world due to the limitation of natural energy?
Could this be the reason why the magic world has been unable to make progress for nearly a thousand years?

This conclusion made Kyle's heart a little heavy.

But he thought he was getting close to the truth of the world.

Because he has stood on the shoulders of countless geniuses and lunatics for thousands of years, and the results he obtained without reason can only increase the efficiency by 50 times.

In particular, this new energy-gathering magic circle should theoretically be far from reaching its upper limit.

For the next two hours, Kyle kept thinking about the way out for the future.

Nuclear energy instead of magical energy?
Use a concentrated energy array to make the floating city fly, and then rely on nuclear energy to solve the rest?

This is fine, but pointless.

Because it is impossible for Kyle to use nuclear energy to cast magic, and it is impossible to rely on nuclear energy to study magic.

The magic that destroyed the world with a wave of hands in those film and television works in the previous life cannot be realized by nuclear energy.

What Kyle wants is for the great power of the world to belong to himself, so that he can become a walking nuclear bomb to deter the world, instead of making a nuclear bomb from scratch.

The idea did inspire Kyle, though.

Since nuclear energy can be converted into electrical energy, can it also be converted into magical energy?
Even wind energy and solar energy can also be converted into magical energy.

Particle colliders consume an enormous amount of energy, but produce an equally astonishing amount of results.

This principle also applies in the magic world.

Many things and many laws can only be discovered when the energy is sufficient.

Certain magical truths are not non-existent, it's just that the energy is too thin for wizards to see.

With this bit of magical power in the body, how many Avada Kedavra can be cast?

To put it bluntly, it is to line up British wizards for Voldemort to kill, that is to tire him into a dog, how many people can be killed at a time?

It's not that the wizards haven't thought about using the free magical energy in the air to enhance the effect of spells, but they can't even perceive these energies at the most basic level, so what's the point of using them?
Only when the energy is strong enough can we talk about using our own energy to move the world. This is the real mage!
Having figured out the way out for the future, Kyle planned his next move.

Because now there is an important question before him.

No nuclear power plants!
It is impossible for him to obtain the ownership of a nuclear power plant through any legal means.

Therefore, he set his sights on the empire in the Far East that had just undergone tremendous changes.

But the road has to be taken step by step, and the meal has to be eaten one bite at a time.

According to him, despite the drastic changes, the Ministry of Magic in that country is still quite capable.

If the history does not change, there will be a shocking anecdote that [-] fans from that country violently beat [-] fans from the British Empire in the future.

From this we can see how capable the guys in that country are.

In addition, the place that Kyle is eyeing has been abandoned for many years, and how to repair the nuclear power station after stealing it back is also a problem.

According to Kyle's inference, repairing a new one should not work.

This may be the most correct inference he has made in two years.

For the next night, Kyle was writing and drawing, even ignoring the plan to practice magic.

There are so many things, Kyle can only make an outline first, and then add problems and solutions to it little by little.

In this way, Kyle fell on the bed until he couldn't hold it anymore.

Early the next morning, Kyle struggled to get out of bed after almost dawdling until class was about to start. After a hasty grooming, he hurried to the greenhouse, not even having breakfast in time.

Today's first class is herbal medicine. The fat Professor Sprout is a kind witch, and the family has been Hufflepuff for generations.

The content of the first class at the beginning of school is very easy, it is to loosen the soil and water some already familiar magic plants, trim branches and leaves and so on.

These things are of course very simple for Kyle, and there is no danger in the slightest even if they are dual-purpose.

So Kyle was thinking about future arrangements while doing the work in hand.

Since it is necessary to go to the Muggle world to steal the power station and find a professional to repair it, it is definitely impossible for Kyle to stay in school every day.

That would be such a waste of time.

It seems that in the future, Kreacher can only sneak in every day, and then take him back to the old house with Apparition to deal with these matters.

Kyle, who made the decision, felt relieved.

Quietly handle the work in hand.

The classes on the second day of school were not as full as the first day. After the herbal medicine class, there was no next class until 03:30 in the afternoon.

During this free time, Kyle spent all his time in the library.

Hermione, the library rat, was also in the library.

Kyle glanced at it, and what he was reading was not a professional course book, but Lockhart's novel.

Unexpectedly, even a sensible girl like Hermione fell in love with Lockhart.

Kyle can only say that the marketing of the Foley family is really good.

However, I heard that the third graders of Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff had already attended the first lesson of Defense Against the Dark Arts yesterday. As for the classroom effect, it can only be said that it is hard to describe.

Lockhart successfully showed students how to provoke dangerous magical creatures and then how to be subdued by magical creatures.

It is said that if Professor McGonagall did not pass by, Lockhart would die on the first day of school.

I hope that Hermione will not be too disappointed after seeing Lockhart's true face.

Skipping Hermione, Kyle started looking for the books he needed.

Although I can't study how to convert nuclear energy or electrical energy into the magical energy I need.

But you can first study the way to convert magical energy into fire energy and wind energy.

By analogy, there will always be some gains.

This type of magic circle is widely used, especially in the kitchen.

Wizards have long learned to use magic circles instead of stoves for cooking.

This is the simplest example of magic energy being converted into heat energy.

Kyle wants to find out the mystery of energy conversion in these simple examples.

Then try to do it, transform the burning flame into non-attribute magical energy.

After searching for a few books, Kyle found a large number of application examples.

The fire is lit in the fire, the fireplace is heated, the temperature is kept constant in the noble house, and the water in the swimming pool is heated.

The purposes of these magic circles are different, but the core remains the same.

Kyle quickly analyzed the repetitive parts.

Then study the specific functions of each magic pattern.

After studying these, we have to figure out why they are combined in this way, and what are the differences between different arrangements.

Then try to replace it with other magic patterns to see what new changes will occur.

The job looks easy, but it will take Kyle a lot of energy.

Because Kyle not only hopes to research a new magic circle, but also constantly absorbs the drawing concepts of different magic circles, hoping to sort out a set of his own theories.

The existing way of drawing the magic circle is like the C language in the programming world. It is basic and accurate, but not efficient enough.

Kyle hopes to be able to sum up his own way of weaving the magic circle, just like python for programming, except that he can't have children, he can do anything.

This requires a large amount of magic pattern knowledge, as well as rich experience in drawing magic circles as accumulation, to be summed up.

Time is quietly passing through continuous research, inference and recording.

It wasn't until Kyle was so hungry that he couldn't take it anymore that he suddenly realized that it was already 02:30 in the afternoon.

Before he knew it, he had been sitting in the library for four hours.

Just four hours is not enough for Kyle to achieve any results.

But finally, I have a preliminary understanding of this magic circle of energy transformation.

After tidying up the recorded notes, he went to Mrs. Pince to go through the borrowing procedures again, and Kyle hurried to the dormitory.

The first thing he did when he returned to the dormitory was to call the house elf and prepare an afternoon tea for himself.

This habit of using house elves at any time was something Kreacher got used to.

When Kyle suddenly found out that he was used to being served by elves, he only felt that the life of a nobleman was indeed delicious!

Lying on the bed and resting his waist, although he is still young, Kyle has already started to take care of his body.

After all, wizards have a longer lifespan, and Kyle doesn't want to live in pain at the age of 30 with a herniated disc at the age of [-] like in his previous life.

Don't say that the healing methods in the magic world are better.

That's for bruises.

Don't you see that there are so many hunched dark wizards in Knockturn Alley, all of them were sins committed when they were young.

After resting in bed for a while, he got up again and ate some pastries from the house elf. Kyle finally recovered.

I packed up my schoolbag and went to the next class.

Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration.

Kyle's nightmare.

But Kyle believes that as long as the next storm comes, the transfiguration that has troubled him will be solved.

But for Kyle now,

Nightmare, still a nightmare.

Today's learning content is pretty friendly, it's a review of some key points from last semester.

However, considering the p (poor) on Kyle's report card last semester, today's content seems not so simple.

Because this year is the exam year for Kyle and their owl, Professor McGonagall spoke in great detail.

Even interspersed with some first, second and third grade content from time to time.

But it's pretty much useless to Kyle.

He memorized the theoretical stuff almost more familiarly than McGonagall.

You can even pick out where McGonagall's speech is not good and not in-depth.

But what's the use?
Transfiguration is really a very talented course, no matter how good the theory is, it will be impossible.

Coincidentally, Kyle is the unlucky kid who can't do it no matter how hard he struggles.

After finally getting out of class, Kyle walked to the auditorium with a depressed mood, planning to comfort his wounded heart with a big meal.

He had already asked the house elves in the afternoon, and today's dinner is mainly French dishes.

I believe that the craftsmanship of the elves can restore an authentic French meal.

The mood of anticipation lasted until Kyle ran into a second-grade animal who had just finished class in the corridor.

If I remember correctly, in the second class this afternoon, the second graders are taking Defense Against the Dark Arts.

Seeing the excited faces of the Gryffindors and the gloomy faces of his little snakes, Kyle narrowed his eyes.

That stupid lion who was born in Gryffindor, wouldn't it be possible that he took his anger from himself and turned it on to these little bean dings in the lower grades?
