Admiral of Hogwarts

246 Industrial Base

Hagrid's becoming a professor was related to the basilisk killed by the company last year. After catching the real murderer of the murder 50 years ago, he successfully cleared his name.

After hearing the news, many young wizards first looked at Hagrid sitting on the teacher's bench in surprise, and then applause came from the Gryffindor and Ravenclaw tables.

For a Gryffindor student, Hagrid was a very nice guy. So everyone is happy to hear that he becomes a professor.

As for the Ravenclaw students, some of them had read the book about magical creatures written by Hagrid before, so they applauded to express their recognition of the new professor's professional knowledge.

After announcing all these things, Principal Dumbledore finally announced the start of dinner. In an instant, the tableware in front of everyone was filled with various foods and drinks.

At this time, the hungry students immediately started eating, and at the same time discussed the topics about the two professors who had just taken office and the dementors.

"Seriously, why not let Professor Halsey be the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts?" Lisa Dupin said with some confusion.

"Whether it was last year's basilisk or this year's dementor, Professor Halsey easily defeated them. This should prove that she is fully capable of taking up this position."

"I think this situation is better now." Veneto took a spoonful of mashed potatoes from the plate and said.

"Don't forget that there is a curse on this position. Rather than letting Professor Halsey only lead us for a year, I think it would be a very wise choice for her not to apply for this position."

After dinner, the prefects stood up first and led the first-year students to their respective common rooms. Hugo and the others walked against the flow of people towards the teacher's bench.

"Congratulations, Hagrid." Hermione congratulated in a high-pitched voice. Apparently, she seemed to have difficulty controlling her voice recently after entering a period of voice change.

"Thanks to you and Professor Halsey for your help." After hearing Hermione's cry, Hagrid walked over and said excitedly. Although he tried hard to lower his voice, it obviously had no effect.

"I really can't imagine that I could actually become a professor in school. If my father knew-" Hagrid began to sob, then took out a huge handkerchief from his pocket and blew his nose.

At this time, Professor McGonagall came over and signaled Hugo and the others to leave. So Hugo returned to the common room of Ravenclaw Tower with Veneto and Hermione.

After returning to the lounge, the three people greeted each other and went back to their rooms to rest. After all, today's day's travel and the dementor's attack had made them tired enough.

However, after lying on the bed, Hugo suddenly discovered that Buduo had sent him a special document through the admiral network that required his timely approval, so he could only hold back his sleepiness and began to review the document.

"It requires an investment equivalent to 3.6 million pounds, plus a construction period of half a year. What are you going to do?" Hugo, who was originally sleepy, became energetic when he saw the budget on the last page of the document.

"There is no way. If we want to make fairy silver, in addition to the special refining techniques, the most important thing we need is this thing called the Earth Core Furnace." Salem's voice came from the Admiral Network The pass came out.

It turns out that since they discovered the secret base of the Wu Cui Party during the last Christmas vacation and obtained the treasure trove they left behind, the ship girls began to study the three technologies left in that base.

Among them, the first two broom-making technologies and wand-making technologies are not difficult for the ship girls to crack, and even half a year is enough for them to improve on the original technology.

To give the simplest example, Salem has developed a new generation of broomstick manufacturing technology based on those broomstick manufacturing technologies. If there are no accidents, the first product of the broom named Fantasy Series will be officially launched this Christmas.

But the refining technology of the third type of fairy silver was just the opposite. It took them half a year to barely figure out the entire refining process of this artificial metal that has a strong effect in the magical world.

"We thought that the difficulty in making this metal was due to the special magic of the goblins, but as we continued to study this thing in depth, we discovered that the real difficulty lies in the production itself." Massachusetts explained.

"Just like nuclear weapons, the basic principles are not too complicated, but the details inside are state secrets. And even if you know all the details, not everyone can make them if they want to."

For ship girls, imitate the special spellcasting mode of fairies. It is not difficult to improve the details of spell casting, but it is stuck in the last step of production.

Unlike brooms or wands, which are purely handmade or handmade workshop products, the production process of fairy silver requires an industrialized production environment.

In the past six months, the ship girls have devoted a lot of energy to the analysis and optimization of the goblin production process, and now they have finally come up with a production base construction plan.

Different from the furnace originally used by the goblins, the furnace that has been re-optimized by the ship girls has been significantly enhanced in terms of production efficiency and final product quality.

The cost of the improved smelting complex has dropped by 30%, but the yield rate has increased by more than 20%. It can be said that it has been completely changed compared with the old version in the past.

The reason why this situation occurs is because the body of the ship girls itself belongs to the highest crystallization of a country's industrial system, so they are much better at industrialized mass production than the goblins who work behind closed doors.

However, we have to admit that after the wizards blocked the wand making technology, the goblins also developed a magic system of their own.

At least for wizards, this technological gap makes it completely uneconomical for them to copy such an entire manufacturing system. So they are more inclined to use their advantageous position to buy these items from goblins.

"Is an investment equivalent to 3.6 million pounds really enough?" After the shipgirls explained the value of this thing, Hugo began to worry about funding.

"For example, I see on this list that it is necessary to dig a tunnel 7700 meters deep into the ground to lead out underground flames. This alone should require a huge amount of investment."

"If there is magic, it's actually not that expensive." St. George said, "Otherwise, how do you think the goblins in Gringotts in London dug miles deep underground and even dug into magma? .”

"So where are you going to put this smelter?" After getting the answer to the previous question, Hugo asked another question that he didn't see on the document.

"Because this thing requires you, the admiral, to make the final decision." Buruo said at this time, "Some of us support placing this thing on the island in the North Sea, while others support putting this thing in the mountains near the home port. "

"What's the difference between the two places?" Hugo asked.

"There are some minor differences, but overall it's similar." Massachusetts sent Hugo a form at this time and said. "For example, a base located on the North Sea may require more freight, but it can save some money on the construction of the defense system——"

"If it's just this difference, I personally think it's better to put it in the home port." Hugo thought for a moment and said. "After all, that island in the North Sea used to be the secret base of the Wu Cui Party, and the confidentiality is still a bit lacking."

"Understood, Admiral." Bu Tuo nodded, "I think in half a year, you will be able to see the fairy silver we produce."
