Connor's Hogwarts

Because Divination, Muggle Studies, and Arithmetic Divination are elective courses taught at the same time, and Professor Victor has always been dissatisfied with the school's juxtaposition of Arithmetic Divination and the other two useless courses. The relationship has never been good.

Connor has never taken a Muggle studies class, and he is not familiar with Professor Bubaji. In his opinion, Professor Bubaji is a warm-hearted pacifist at best, but a "witch" with a crooked ass at worst. , Of course, this is just his own opinion, after all, he and Professor Bubaji have not spoken a few words.

Connor shrugged: "It's not that I'm arrogant, but I think Professor Bubbaji's understanding of the Muggle world may not be as deep as mine..."

"Ha, I believe you, that guy Bubbaji is half a bucket of water..." Professor Victor seemed to be in a good mood, "Okay, let's stop chatting, Connor just explain why you came, as for the Muggles just now Questions about the world, I haven't been to the Muggle world for more than ten years, if you want to ask me about Muggles, I definitely can't answer you..."

"Well, actually, I mainly want you to see this..." Connor reached into his arms, and took them out of his pocket...a large head-up display, a console, a keyboard and a mouse...

"...Connor..." Professor Victor hesitated to speak, "This... is another new Muggle machine?"

"Yes, they call it a...personal computer..."

"puter?" Victor read this unfamiliar word, and then looked at Connor who was still busy beside him, "Connor, what are you doing?"

Connor skillfully connected the computer, then took out a picture he had drawn in advance, and took out the power strip from the picture.

"Of course it's electricity. Professor, you should know that Muggles use electricity, right? All their machines use electricity..."

Professor Victor pretended to be calm and said "um", and it took two or three seconds before he said again: "Of course I know, I have read the book "British Muggle Family Life and Social Habits". Just read it once and you'll understand, Muggle inventions are like that, this thing doesn't need to be studied as a course at all..."

"..." That book is the designated textbook for the Muggle Studies class, and Connor has read it too? It is still very novel to understand Muggles from the perspective of wizards, but Connor doesn't think that Professor Victor only relies on one How much can you learn about the Muggle world through popular science books...

Connor plugged in the power supply, and the stable current simulated by the magic painting allowed the computer to start up successfully. Just add magic power to the magic painting? It will continuously and stably produce electricity. This magic version of the power supply is much easier to use than a generator. ..

Victor looked down at the flickering computer screen and said, "This is the Muggle machine you showed me? What is it for? Does it blow air automatically? Or is it used to heat food?"

It seems that our professor's impression of Muggle machines is only on electric fans and induction cookers? Connor smiled and didn't explain, he moved away? Please take a seat with the professor: "Professor Victor? Do you want to come?" Experience... this personal computer? The latest version of the system? It's rare in the Muggle world..."

"..." Professor Victor couldn't understand what Connor was saying, but didn't she also want to spoil the student's interest? So she sat down helplessly. "How to use it? What's the use?"

"It's very simple, professor, have you used Facebook? Just think of it as a Muggle version of Facebook. Do you see this white arrow? You can control it by holding the mouse..."

Connor instructed the professor to use the computer? Victor was groping to use it? He frowned and complained. He said for a while that the operating system was too troublesome. After the game, Professor Victor fell silent.

Professor Victor looked at the large head-up display in front of him for a while, and then turned his head to look at Connor with piercing eyes: "This... how did you do it? It's not magic. I didn't feel any fluctuations of magic. This is obviously death. Why can you interact with me and respond so much? It's... it's not magic..."

Connor grinned unkindly, subverting an old-fashioned traditional concept of wizards is so pleasant, he seems to have found a new joy...

"Professor, do you remember that I said that I wanted to discuss a topic about 0 and 1..." Connor pointed to the big head phone, "Look, the topic I talked about is here."

"What...what does this have to do with these two numbers?"

"Professor, do you know binary?"

Professor Victor's expression continued to be dazed, well, wizards don't learn binary mathematics...no, Hogwarts doesn't have math classes.

Although wizards also study arithmetic, they don't study mathematics, even Professor Victor, who is the best in arithmetic...but she really doesn't know much about Muggle academia.

"Just like our monetary system, binary is a base-2 numbering system, proposed hundreds of years ago by the German mathematician Leibniz..."

"Oh, it's a digital computing system, right? Then?" Professor Victor heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he understood this, otherwise he would really lose face in front of the students...

Then he heard Connor say...

"Now that you have a simple understanding of this, let's talk about the basic principles of computers in detail. First, we will start with the man named John von Neumann..."

10 minute later...

"...The emergence of large-scale integrated circuits has greatly promoted the development of personal computers. You see, there are tens of millions of circuit transistors on this small central processing unit, and they can perform calculations in units of billions per second. Performing high-speed calculations at high speeds, specifically manifested externally, becomes the "non-magical" human-computer interaction you call..."

"..." Professor Victor pushed his glasses, took a tactic to drink water but found that there was no water in the glass, and wanted to interrupt Connor's eloquent talk but was too embarrassed to say it, and his mood was very delicate for a while.

"...So, this computer can be said to be built on the basis of binary 0 and 1, with infinite possibilities and endless possibilities, a miracle of human wisdom!"

Connor finished speaking in a chant tone, and then looked at Professor Victor with bright eyes...

"Professor, do you understand?"

"..." I understand you are a hammer...Professor Victor wanted to scold someone, but it didn't fit her personality, so she pushed her slipped glasses again, pretending to be indifferent and said:

"I... I probably understand... I didn't expect Muggles to make such a...magical machine. It seems that I was too prejudiced against Muggles before. This machine...is a great invention comparable to magic scrolls..."

The magic scroll might not be enough to compare with this, Connor smiled, pulled the keyboard and mouse in front of the professor, turned on the calculator that came with the computer, pressed it blindly, pressed Enter vigorously, turned his head and said:

"Professor, look at this computer, just input a few data, no matter how complicated the calculation is, it will calculate the answer at once, what do you think of this function?"

"Huh? It's just a quick calculation ability. It's not a big deal. We wizards can also easily do this. For example, we can use our arithmetic divination, and we can even ignore the process to get c..."

Professor Victor's hand drinking water froze in mid-air, and a flash of inspiration passed away. She seemed to have grasped something, but couldn't figure it out, so she looked at the "culprit".

Sure enough, Connor smiled crookedly, and said, "Professor, have you discovered it too? We have something in common between arithmetic divination and computers...or in other words, our arithmetic divination...do you want to belong to our wizard's [computer]? "

Professor Victor jumped at the table: "Connor, do you understand what you are talking about? This... this is not magic!"

Connor raised his hand and signaled the professor to calm down: "Professor Victor, it's too early to say anything, this is just my guess, we don't know what the final result will be..."

"...I just don't know...Professor, are you... interested in my subject?"

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Listen carefully, this class is boring, don't doze off! (knock on the blackboard)

[Connor's divination class]

Divination can be used to trace the past, explore the present and deduce the future.

Divided according to skill proficiency, looking back at the past is an introduction, exploring the present is proficiency, and deducing the future is a master.

It's a pity that the vast majority of wizards can't deduce the future. [Proficiency] is almost the pinnacle of a wizard's learning of divination.

Even Professor Victor, who specializes in arithmetic and divination, dare not and will not call himself a master of divination. The future is unpredictable and it is not so easy to deduce.

Except for divination, all divinations about the future cannot be guaranteed to be accurate.

Below, we will explain in detail the divination in various situations separately. (knock on the blackboard)

The first is divination of the past.

Facts that happened in the past can no longer be changed, so divination can be used for more accurate backtracking.

Of course, the longer the interval, the lower the accuracy of backtracking, but in general, divination used to be the simplest of divination, which can be regarded as the foundation and entry.

Then there is divination now.

The second before the present is the past and the next second is the future, and "divination now" generally refers to divination where someone or something is at this time, what they are doing, whether they are dead or alive...the divination is the current point in time what is happening.
