Hogwarts: Becoming a god from reselling fresh food

Should we say that these two are worthy of being mad scientists? They are so ruthless that they don't even let themselves go. They are actually willing to use such a dangerous spell on themselves...

Murphy still admires this.

However, he was not very supportive.

Murphy's attitude towards human experimentation is similar to the three unforgivable curses. They can be used, but try not to use them when unnecessary.

Although these methods or tools are the simplest to solve the current problem, they cannot be used as routine means. If you are used to handling things simply and crudely, the details of the resistance that you ignore at the time may accumulate over time and become a huge trouble.

This is something he only recently realized.

Whether it is the defeat of Malfoy and Kingsley in their confrontation, or the madness of Joachim, or the failure of Voldemort and Grindelwald, it is actually the same principle. Just rely on one or two tools, one Both methodologies are difficult to adapt to the endlessly changing future.

The so-called unscrupulous means should bring more choices, and should not become a bigotry that leads to black and white.

Therefore, he was wary of those oversimplified processing tools, such as the three unforgivable curses, such as threats and intimidation methods, such as the money offensive he used against wizards before.

He was also cautious about the soul seed, but this spell was too powerful, it was simply a cheating tool, and he really couldn't give up.

Whether it is used or not is one thing; whether it is present or not is another matter entirely.

"It's better not to experiment with such a dangerous spell on yourself for the time being," Murphy said.

Changing human minds is unethical in any case. It is obvious that apart from these two madmen who are willing to devote themselves to science, it is unlikely that many people will voluntarily participate.

However, it is difficult to make progress in mental spell research without conscious operations.

He thought for a while, "There are many creatures with simple wisdom in the wizarding world..."

In the wizarding world, it is not uncommon for creatures to have consciousness and be able to speak human language.

Needless to say, intelligent creatures such as elves, house elves, and centaurs also have their own consciousness and can even talk to humans.

Although conducting experiments on goblins and centaurs is still morally risky, there are some creatures that no one cares about whether they live or die.

For example, goblins, these little things can also speak human language, and their behavior patterns also have certain characteristics of intelligence, but they are basically pests in the wizarding world. Murphy has helped wizards deal with such troubles before.

Others include fairies, leprechauns, goblins, and devils, as well as the Cornish elves who were used as teaching aids in the original work. They are all creatures with simple intelligence, although their intelligence Not as good as humans, but their behavioral patterns are far more complex than ordinary animals.

Even creatures such as Hu Meizi, who are treated like mice and cockroaches, have simple wisdom.

Or maybe a mermaid?

They even have their own social structure, can tame creatures, and their intelligence is not much worse than ordinary humans, but they have no human rights in the wizarding world.

In fact, the concept of human rights among wizards is quite unpopular, and they will sell people with blood curses as performance animals.

If he used these creatures for experiments, no one would say that he abused magical animals, right?

Oh, there seems to be a law prohibiting breeding for experimental purposes?

Whatever.

I can't break the law by helping you control pests.

…

Various magical researches are advancing steadily, and Murphy is also making intensive preparations to manufacture chips in Muggle society.

In March, Camelot Company established the luxury brand Medis in France. The first product launched was a perfume called the Eros series, which is divided into eight series and a total of 79 items. Murphy gave it respectively Different names were chosen, and advertisers racked their brains to write seventy-nine pieces of copy that sounded completely different.

But in fact, they are the products of ordinary perfumes of various scents mixed with a very small amount of love agents.

What determines its price is the content of the love potion. The content of one ten thousandth is a low-end product, priced at around 2 pounds per ml. The mid-range product with a content of about 3 parts per 10,000 is priced at 8 pounds per ml. A high-end product with a content of 500%, priced at 15 pounds per ml.

In other words, Murphy sold one milliliter of love potion for 30,000 pounds!

In Murphy's view, this is not a money grab, but a house robbery.

But love potions are indeed powerful.

Even adding just one drop to a bottle of perfume can bring a good olfactory experience to the user, and one can vaguely feel a sense of wonderful, hallucinatory and ethereal expectation in the fragrance.

And users of high-end perfumes find that their charm seems to have been slightly improved by perfume, and they have received more favor and praise.

The mysterious effect of the love potion made Eros perfume immediately loved by the French. Later, it radiated to the entire Europe through the fashion capital Paris, and then became popular in European and American cultural circles around the world.

Then, Murphy changed the packaging of the Venus series, replaced the unimportant plant essences, renovated it, and transformed it into Medea's high-end cosmetics Helen series, with almost no change in cost and price. But it doubled more than ten times.

The continuous flow of banknotes immediately relieved the Umbrella Company's financial pressure a lot, and the chip factory began to prepare for the construction in full swing.

In May, Umbrella Company established “Sophon Technology” and officially entered the electronics field.

Sophon Technology is divided into four departments, which are respectively responsible for chip manufacturing and research and development, electronic product terminal design and manufacturing, computer system and basic application software research and development, and Internet technology expansion, directly laying out the development of the electronic field in the next thirty years.

Among them, Murphy is most concerned about chip manufacturing.

This is the core and biggest bottleneck in the electronics field.

In June, Sophon Technology began to spend money like crazy, purchasing Fantasy Technology in the field of IP core design, as well as Arm Technology (ARM), which was just established in Cambridge Industrial Park.

It only cost Murphy 20 million pounds to buy this top player in the future chip field, which is not even as much as another company in the personal computer field that has died suddenly in the future.

In July, Sophon Technology spent 200 million pounds to buy three chip factories of Inmos, plus a subsidiary engaged in IC design.

In August, Isis Pharmaceuticals completed its listing ahead of schedule. Sophon Technology, which now has money in its hands, took advantage of the fact that Asmail, the future lithography machine giant, was still unable to make a profit, and directly injected 150 million pounds to repay Philips. The loan also solved the problem of insufficient funds of Asmail after ASM withdrew its capital last year.

This investment enabled Sophon Technology to obtain 85% of Asmail's shares and become the largest shareholder.

In September, after all the basic cards were put together, chip research and development was officially on track. Half of Asmail's employees were transferred to a mysterious department responsible for developing an unprecedented lithography machine.

At the same time, ARM Technology and Fantasy Technology began to design new IP cores, instruction sets and processor architectures under the authorization of Murphy. The requirements are to adapt to a new chip with extremely high integration rate and a process that will reach 0.3 microns. .

While Murphy was making waves in Muggle society, he also continued to penetrate into the magical world.

One day in September, Murphy came to Malfoy Manor again.
