Admiral of Hogwarts
396 Prologue
The hottest day of the summer was finally coming to an end, and everything seemed to be enveloped in a drowsy silence.
In Muggle communities, cars that are usually bright and shiny are now parked in the driveway with dust. The once green grass has turned yellow - due to the severe drought, the watering hoses have been damaged. Use prohibited.
The Granger family's lawn is naturally no different from other people's lawns. After all, even if Hugo had a way to simply preserve the green on the lawn in this kind of weather, he wouldn't be superfluous to attract attention at this time.
But even so, the Granger family's hard work and love for life can be seen from the neatly trimmed lawns and hedges in front of the house.
But now the situation inside the house is completely different from the tidy situation outside. Many things are placed in a mess, as if the people in the house are preparing for a long trip.
In fact, this is also the case. It is now the second weekend after the summer vacation, and the Grangers plan to go to the East as originally planned to deal with issues related to the new factory.
"——You two are already old, so I believe you can take care of yourselves. If you have any problems that can't be solved, you can ask Miss Hood and the others for help." During lunch that day, Mrs. Granger asked Hugo The two siblings warned.
"Don't worry, Mom. I can solve all these problems. You don't have to worry too much." Hugo agreed with a smile after listening to his mother's nagging.
He has 100% confidence in his parents' investment because he believes that Yatsen can help his parents manage their life in the Far East, and he also has absolute confidence in the porcelain dental technology developed by Yubari.
After taking a break for lunch, they called a taxi and took their large and small bags to London's Heathrow Airport. In the waiting hall, Mr. and Mrs. Granger took the time to give some instructions to their children.
"I seem to have heard that you will stay with your classmates these days. This is good. It is a good thing to be able to communicate more with your classmates during the holidays. It is better than staying at home all day."
"But you must take care of yourselves when you are at home. When you leave home, remember to lock the door and turn off the water, electricity and gas——" Mr. and Mrs. Granger began to talk about the arrangements, while Hugo and Hermione stood there seriously. listen.
It has to be said that parents all over the world are pretty much in love with their children, so they always complain about this situation. Fortunately, at this time, an announcement came on the radio that boarding was allowed.
"——Okay, that's it, we're about to board the plane. You should help each other if anything happens. I believe you can take care of yourselves."
After seeing that the time was up, Mr. and Mrs. Granger gave one last warning, then grabbed their luggage and left. Hugo and Hermione watched their parents disappear from sight before leaving the airport and taking the bus home.
"We should leave now." Hugo said to Hermione after arriving home. "The two experimental transport ships will complete all the running-in work the day after tomorrow and set sail for Mars, so we'd better go to the Lunar-1 dock early and wait there."
Don't worry, my things have been packed. Give me half an hour to sort them out and then we'll set off. "Hermione nodded and walked into her room, and Hugo shrugged and started checking his luggage.
To be honest, he really doesn't understand why, theoretically, ship girls have the ability to change their outfits with one click, but except for Beizhai and a very small number of ship girls, other ship girls will slowly change like humans in a non-war state. Discipline yourself.
Fortunately, Hermione has always been the kind of person who is very punctual, and this trend of becoming a ship girl is even more obvious. So half an hour later, the Granger siblings left home with the luggage they had prepared in advance.
At this time, Hood was already waiting for them at the door in his car. After getting in the car, Hood quickly started the car and drove towards his address in London.
In fact, you can use the sub-dimensional to travel to anywhere on the moon. However, in order to prevent the neighbors from being suspicious of Hugo and the others for not going out, Hugo could only use this method to let the neighbors know that he had left home.
"How is the situation now?" 20 minutes later, Hugo and the others arrived at the space dock in lunar synchronous orbit and asked looking at the two spacecraft outside the cabin.
Compared with the last time I came here, the size of this dock is obviously larger. It seems that during the time Hugo stayed at the school, everything here was developing at a high speed.
"Everything is going very well. Now we have four transport ships that are using conventional engines to run the route between the moon and Mars." Hood said, pointing to the two spacecraft outside the porthole that looked like the previous transport ships.
"If the test is successful tomorrow, then we will use these two ships to temporarily replace the previous four ships, freeing up enough time to upgrade and improve the original four ships and install jump engines on them."
While everyone was talking, Hood took Hugo and Hermione to the warehouse part of the space dock. Unlike other parts of the shipyard, the warehouse part does not have artificial gravity.
The reason for this is that on the one hand, it saves space when stacking items without weight, and on the other hand, it is more convenient to transport various materials in the warehouse.
Of course, in order to avoid unsafe accidents caused by workers colliding around due to the absence of artificial gravity, people entering the area without artificial gravity will also wear shoes with electromagnets and follow the designated road.
The same is naturally true for Hugo and the others. Although they won't fly out of the ground if they use magic skillfully, it is best to follow the rules in this kind of industrial area.
Walking in this weightless environment is a very novel thing. Fortunately, the life support system is still in operation here, so there is no need to wear a heavy space suit.
Therefore, the Granger siblings, who were physically much stronger than ordinary people, quickly learned how to use electromagnetic shoes to move forward in this environment after taking only a few steps, and quickly became proficient.
When they arrived at the innermost door of the warehouse, something that looked as big as a double-decker bus and was made of metal and crystal appeared in front of everyone, while Massachusetts and Guanghui were standing in front to inspect it.
The appearance of this thing looks square and square, full of a unique beauty of science fiction. But the various crystals and magic circles made of fairy silver inlaid on it give it a mysterious character.
"This is our jump engine, the Salem-Yubari engine." Standing in front of this huge machine, Hood introduced with pride. "A fusion of the power of magic and technology we now have at our disposal."
Hugo nodded, because he could tell that even this engine was reinforced with some kind of magic. In addition, the crystals and magic circles on it obviously couldn't be decorations.
It has to be said that these ship girls have indeed done something that no one has ever done before. They have successfully created miracles through their own efforts and kicked off the era of interstellar navigation.
