Admiral of Hogwarts

346 Going to the Starry Sky

Because they walked all the way to visit, it took Hugo and the others nearly 20 minutes to reach the core of the entire base.

This is a huge space reinforced with magic. It looks very busy inside. Many robots and alchemy puppets are working with workers wearing simple exoskeletons to create huge sealed tank-shaped metal structures one after another.

Soon, Hugo saw a scene that clearly violated the law of confidentiality: ordinary people wearing exoskeletons were welding the metal structures, and beside them, several wizards waved their wands, inlaying pieces with magic symbols. Ven's metal panels are mounted on metal structures.

"Is there really no problem with this?" Hermione nervously asked Reputation, "Can we really guarantee sufficient confidentiality for such a large-scale operation?"

"Don't worry, this place has been running for several years, but it has always been under the premise of being secretive." Shengsheng said proudly. "We have enough means to keep this place secret."

According to reputation, they have set up a lot of shielding magic on every inch of land here, which can completely prevent the magic reaction below from being discovered by others.

In addition, everyone here has been inspired by the Soviet Union and St. George, so it is impossible to actively reveal the secrets of this place.

"I can say with certainty that our ability to inspire is even comparable to Grindelwald in his heyday. In this case, no one will betray this place." Reputation introduced.

"Of course, in addition to spiritual inspiration, we also have a magical contract and Dzerzhinsky's men as our last line of defense to ensure that the local situation will not be exposed."

"This does sound very powerful." At this time, everyone reached the bottom of this huge space, and then Hermione asked looking at the sealed container that was about three or four stories high.

"But what exactly is the core of this plan? And what exactly are these things being made? They actually need to be built so huge."

"I think this seems to be some kind of space that needs to be sealed." Hugo looked at the huge diameter of the containers and then looked at the reputation. "Are you planning to build an undersea base?"

"Yes, and this is just our first step." Shengsheng nodded. At this time, the three people walked through the busy construction site and came to an office, where Yubari was drawing drawings.

After saying hello to Yubari, Reputation walked to a desk and took out two documents from the drawer and handed them to Hugo and Hermione, and then said.

"Here is our plan. Now we have completed most of the tasks in the plan, so by the end of this semester, there is a high probability that we can complete the first step of the plan."

"Actually, this base is just the final core department. What supports the operation of the base is our production network distributed around the world. Only a small part of the things you see are produced locally, and most of them are produced from The outside world is brought in——"

Along with Reputation's explanation, Hugo looked through the plan book. As a result, I was shocked by the contents of the plan the first time.

Because according to the plan, the ultimate goal of this plan is interstellar colonization, and the first step that can be completed by the end of this year is to build a permanent space station in geosynchronous orbit that can sustain a total of 1000 people for a long time.

At this moment, Hugo suddenly remembered the containers he had just seen. Obviously, in addition to building a submarine launch center, the core of those containers was to manufacture various spare parts for the space station.

For ordinary people, the difficulty of launching such a huge structure into the sky has exceeded the current level of technology, but for wizards, magic can reduce the difficulty by 90%.

It is also because of magic that the ship girls can ensure that the launch and operation of the entire space station are completely hidden from everyone's eyes, and they can advance the goal step by step in secret.

"Where did you get these technologies from?" After quickly flipping through the schedule, Hugo took a few deep breaths and then asked.

Because in addition to building a large permanent space station, there are two-step plans in the plan, and those two-step plans are far more difficult than building a space station.

The second step of the plan is to build an industrial center on the moon and transfer most of the planned manufacturing industries to the moon, making full use of the abundant resources on the moon for construction.

The third step is to build a permanent colony on Mars and use the colony as a bridgehead to sail into the depths of the universe, ushering in the age of space navigation.

In order to achieve these goals, the ship girls have developed a series of technologies, such as energy shields, room temperature superconductors, controllable nuclear fusion and short-distance jumps.

This is why Hugo was surprised. Because these things now only exist in theories and science fiction novels, and they are not like things that exist in reality at all.

"These things were mainly developed by Yubari and Massachusetts." Reputation explained, "They have mastered many technologies that far exceed reality."

"Although because the world is different, the techniques they master may not be usable here. But because of the existence of magic, it only took them a short time to reach or even exceed the heights that those original techniques could achieve through magic. "

"Because we have successfully integrated magic and technology, we can ensure that we will establish three outposts in the deep sea, geosynchronous orbit and the moon by the end of this year's semester."

"And by next year, we will build a fast space channel between the earth and the moon and initially complete the lunar industrial zone. Then we will build no less than three Mars colony ships."

"What a grand plan. I suddenly found that my idea of ​​becoming the Minister of Magic was too conservative and small." After hearing the reputation talk about the plan, Hermione showed a shocked expression on her face.

"Compared to the vast stars, the things on earth are really not worth mentioning. But why has no wizard ever been willing to raise his head and look at the stars before?"

"This is because the personal strength of wizards is too strong compared to ordinary people." Hugo said after thinking for a while. "This allowed them to develop much better than ordinary people early in history, but the development rate will become slower and slower as time goes on."

"Why does one's personal strength develop more slowly if it is too strong?" Hermione said after watching a wizard commanding a huge part to float through the air through the window glass, "Shouldn't this develop faster? "

"If your personal strength is too strong, there will be two problems." Hugo explained as he looked at his sister and stretched out her finger. "One is the rate of reproduction, and naturally the more powerful the creature, the lower the fertility rate."

"For this reason, if you exclude the Weasley family, you will find that wizard families have significantly fewer children than ordinary people."

"Secondly, wizards tend to work alone, especially in many cutting-edge directions without sufficient cooperation. This is mainly because they can use magic alone to defeat several people, so they will naturally ignore cooperation."

"And this is an important reason why they can't look up at the stars."
