Chapter 762 Overtaking

Chapter 761

The biggest difference between civilized species and ordinary animals is that civilized groups are not only pure natural attributes.

Marx and Engels once wrote in the Dialectics of Nature: The difference between humans and animals is that humans create and use tools, and use tools to understand and change the world, rather than simply using tools.

Because of this, the most important node in the evolution of human civilization is the revolution in production tools.

And if we divide it based on this, then human beings have experienced a total of six eras from the birth to the present, namely:

The New Paleolithic Age from about 3 million years ago to 4000 years ago; the Bronze Age about 4000 years ago; the Iron Age from 1400-500 BC; the steam age brought about by the first industrial revolution; the second industry The electrical age led by revolution; and, with the birth of the Internet three years ago…

“The new era has arrived, and we are very honored to invite you all to start the next and even the next wave of civilization.”

Douglas leaned gracefully and looked around the scholars in the lecture hall.

And behind it, now there are only two huge terms left-ternary computer, magic energy.

“After previous evaluations, today’s binary computers in the non-magical world cannot fully represent magic. In the magical world, in addition to true and false, unknown states, fuzzy operations, and autonomous learning are all extremely important situations. Therefore, in mathematics Before the theoretically optimal e-bar computer was born, we here hope that you can focus on this side first.”

The middle-aged fairy’s slender finger nodded behind him, and a simple map appeared on the white curtain.

“Through some channels, we purchased four Сетунь70s that have not been completely scrapped, as well as three production lines for related industries, and a complete set of power supply systems, which should barely support your initial research needs.”

“However, due to the magical influence in Hogwarts area, Muggle electronic products are usually unavailable here, so we temporarily provide two alternatives-according to your description, use magic to keep some electronic products The function of normal operation, let them become magic items; or find a way to make them use normally…”

“This is not a simple matter, Mr. Douglas.”

Vinogradov shook his head, shrugged his shoulders and said, “I’m very sorry, the communication cost between magic and science is too high, and it is still very difficult to cooperate with each other. At least based on the current situation, There does not seem to be a suitable person in Hogwarts. We need a wizard with scientific research, not a simple educator.”

“Don’t worry, we are already working on solving this problem.”

The middle-aged goblin grinned and showed sharp teeth, “If all goes well, the adult will arrive in Hogwarts College City before next week. You only need to consider the final result, and leave the rest to magic to solve. Just fine.”

As a “prophet” from a few decades later, Elena knows exactly what the next civilized era is.

Since the promulgation of the “International Wizarding Federation Act”, the separation between the magical world and the non-magic world has become more and more obvious. The shape of the magical world still remains in the steam age, but the non-magic world has reached the end of the electrical age.

Whether it’s the Hogwarts Express, or a flush toilet in a school; whether it’s an elevator, or a magic broadcast in a magic family; whether it’s a camera, or a car on the road… Wizards have never To truly understand the logic behind these things, there is no attempt and no need to try them.

This is not because of the pride of wizards, and it has nothing to do with secrecy laws.

The most important point is that for wizards who control magical powers, they often only need to know the final form of something in order to reversely deduce, retain, create magical items with similar effects, and even go further.

However, the times have changed after all.

The trauma and technological innovation brought about by the Second World War far exceeded everyone’s imagination.

If even the non-magical world under the steam age and electrical age is still slightly inferior to the magical world in terms of efficiency and energy, then with the opening of the atomic energy and information age, magic begins to become less omnipotent.

From information transmission efficiency to information processing capacity; from absolute energy value to energy utilization…

Starting from the late 1990s, the scientific progress that broke out in the non-magical world during the information explosion period will completely subvert the traditional model of human society for thousands of years, and gradually enter the information age where virtual and reality blend.

There is no doubt that under the new model of human society, there will be less and less living space in the magic world.

However, not many people in the magical world at this time have realized that there is not much time left for the magical world. Once the information age is fully opened, they will soon be two different from the Muggles in social form. era.

Regardless of any form of social innovation, it takes at least a generation to gradually adapt.

Fortunately, at the newly born node of this interconnection, the magic world still has the last chance to overtake on a curve.

…

Ministry of Magic, London, United Kingdom.

The Magic Law Enforcement Department, prohibits the abuse of Muggle Items Office.

This is a small room at the end of the corridor on the second floor of the Ministry of Magic headquarters. Opposite the office is a broom room, and the area of ​​the office seems to be slightly smaller than the broom room. Only Arthur Weasley and his assistant Perkins are inside. people.

In the cramped office, two desks are squeezed inside, and there is almost no space for people to move around.

Around the desks lined up along the wall is a file cabinet. The files inside are almost overflowing. On the top of the file cabinet are piles of crumbling files. There is only a little space on the office wall that can be used. Some things that office director Arthur Weasley has a special fondness for: a few posters of aircraft carriers and cars, one of which shows the disassembled engine; two letterbox illustrations cut from Muggle children’s books; and There is a schematic diagram of how to install the socket.

In the eyes of most wizards, this is undoubtedly the most boring department in the Ministry of Magic.

“Arthur, how was the result of the raid at Lovegood’s house?”

Perkins raised his head, pushed the frame on the bridge of his nose, trying to find something on the messy desk.

“Sorry, I’ve been bothering you to work outside these days-I’m getting old, and just this lumbar pain is almost killing me. There is nothing I can do with Saint Mungo. After you recruit new people, I will Time to consider retirement.”

The Office for Prohibition of Muggle Item Abuse will restrict wizards from enchanting items used by Muggles, prohibiting them from adding extra features to Muggle items without permission, and ensuring that those items that have been enchanted will not return to the hemp Melon in hands.

Therefore, this office needs frequent surprise inspections to ensure that there is no abuse of Muggle items on the market.

Unlike Arthur Weasley, who is still in his prime, Mr. Perkins is already very old, and his eyes under his floppy gray hair have long been muddy. If it hadn’t been for the office to be unable to recruit new people, he would have retired long ago. Up.

“I checked and there was no problem, mostly some printing-related machines.”

Arthur Weasley replied with a smile, and handed the “Daily Prophet” on the table into the hands of the old wizard.

“If I’m right, the report information should come from here-there is no doubt that Mr. Barnabas Guffay does have reason to worry about “The Contrary”, but if Xenophylius Love If Goode has any problems, then I guess that the entire British magic world will almost have to be closed for rectification…”

“Oh, it’s the journalists who boasted eyeballs, the harsh competition methods of businessmen.”

Old Perkins took the newspaper, made a vague grunt, and flicked the newspaper in front of him.

“Let me say ~www.readmtl.com~ Arthur, you are too honest. The guys outside rely on us to prohibit the abuse of Muggle goods. The office has no place in the Ministry of Magic. All weird things go here. Push. It’s enough to deal with it a little bit. There is no need to reply seriously every time. For example, the anonymous report about Hogwarts before, just throw it into the trash.”

“It’s about Hogwarts, it’s no small matter…”

Arthur Weasley took a sip from the water glass, glanced at the big boat in the poster on the wall, and said meaningfully.

“After all, more than one wizard claimed to have seen a large flying ship over there. Although there were no Muggle witnesses among them, considering that many dumb guns have settled around Hogwarts during the recent period, a complete investigation has been organized. The report, whether it is for the Ministry, the Magic World, or Hogwarts, can be regarded as a good explanation.”
