Hogwarts: Becoming a god from reselling fresh food

"Go into politics?" Patrick was a little confused. "I may have had such an idea in the past, but now...standing on the shoulders of the Umbrella Company, a little power is no longer attractive to me."

"Or are you planning to kick me out?" Patrick said half jokingly and half worried.

"What are you thinking about?" Murphy laughed. "With Umbrella's current size, isn't it possible to find a place for you to retire?"

"However, the protective umbrella is on the right track and we don't need to keep an eye on it in real time. I want you to help me do a more important thing."

Patrick vaguely understood, "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

"I want to bring this world into the era of magic technology." Murphy said.

Without his intervention, this moment would have been the beginning of the Internet, and in the next thirty years, the world would have entered the information age.

However, compared to information technology, magic will undoubtedly bring about a greater leap in productivity.

In order to unite science and magic, he must bring magic to the Muggle world.

Patrick nodded, "Like in the Magic Institute? You want to bring it to the surface?"

"Sooner or later, it will be brought to the table. Hiding it all the time is not the answer. The development of magic technology requires the participation of the entire society."

"But you're worried that the process might get out of hand, and you want to control the process." Patrick understood. "So, you need political power."

It's that simple to talk to smart people. Murphy nodded, "There are not many people I can completely trust. I want you to do this for me."

Murphy wants to quickly advance the combination of science and technology.

If he doesn't care about the consequences, he can actually disclose the existence of magic and wizards directly. In this way, as long as he can withstand the backlash from the wizarding world, it is impossible for all countries in the Muggle society to let go of the research on magic. Combining science, magic and nature It just appeared naturally.

But in that case, he would not be able to control the direction of the next thing at all, and would completely lose the initiative. By then, the world would indeed be on the path of combining science and magic, but it would be difficult for him to obtain the results of the route.

And if he wants to be able to harvest results stably, he must firmly grasp the progress controller of the Kemo combination route in his own hands.

Regarding the construction of the National Magic Laboratory of the Soviet Union, we must also try to keep it as secret as possible and control the scope of knowledge as much as possible. At the same time, we hope that the Ministry of Magic of various countries can help us clean our butts.

Patrick pondered for a while, "Are you going to let me run for election?"

"Try it first, although it may take a long time." Murphy said, "Are you a Conservative?"

In April this year, the general election has ended, and the positions of MPs and Prime Minister candidates have been determined. If we prepare for the election process now, Patrick will not be able to obtain the most important position until at least five years later.

But without going through the election process, it would be really troublesome to control the British government.

Due to the differences between the two major parties and the existence of parliament, the power of the British Prime Minister is largely limited by his own party. Without absolute support from his own party, it will be difficult to secure the position of Prime Minister.

This means that if you want to control the country, you need to control at least the Prime Minister and hundreds of people from the ruling party in the House of Commons. In peacetime, if you want to do such a thing, even if you have magic, it will take a lot of time and effort. energy.

This is why Murphy would rather take the risk to seize the Soviet Union.

"This kind of thing cannot be rushed. It may take you one or two years to enter the House of Commons, and another one or two years to enter the cabinet..."

This is the speed achieved with the support of massive amounts of money and magic.

The British election is an indirect election system. It is impossible for a pure person to come to power. Even if Murphy can control the Prime Minister through magic for a while, he may soon be voted out of office by a no-confidence vote in the Parliament. It is really very difficult to establish a dictatorship in the UK. Difficulties.

However, the road to the integration of science and magic is not a matter of a day or two, and Murphy is ready for a protracted battle.

If you want Patrick to enter politics, you are also preparing first-hand. Maybe there will be any opportunities later?

…

In July, Murphy drafted new rules and regulations for the Ministry of Magic and used them to form an inaugural agreement. After adding the psychic seed, he had all employees at all levels of the Ministry of Magic sign it again.

The soul seeds in these protocols all have a communication interface backdoor. When necessary, Murphy can monitor the other party's every move through the backdoor, but under normal circumstances, this backdoor is closed.

There was no way, the amount of information was too great, and if all these spiritual seed communication interfaces were opened, he wouldn't be able to handle it at all.

In fact, even leaving aside the psychic seeds in these Ministry of Magic employees, he has sent out too many psychic seeds.

The first is the "Anti-Cancer Virus" training program. He has sent out nearly two thousand psychic seeds with interfaces. Although he has specially optimized the communication protocol for these psychic seeds, he will only transmit about a hundred words or less at a time. Information, but the amount cannot be stopped, and the daily exchange of information takes some energy from him.

The second is the "anti-aging virus" used to control Soviet officials. This part of the soul is basically in a standby state. Occasionally if an official is disobedient, Murphy only needs to send an order to destroy the other party.

Unfortunately, due to differences in political systems, it is difficult to replicate the Soviet Union's method in the UK. Otherwise, Murphy would not have to go through such a long detour to get Patrick to enter politics.

When the National Magic Laboratory starts, he will inevitably send out a large number of psychic seeds. How to deal with this psychic seed network by then is a problem that must be solved.

The Seed of Soul network ignores spatial distance and can exchange information with any individual in it at any time, making up for the lack of instant communication means in the world at this time.

At the same time, it has excellent confidentiality and is perfect for intelligence work.

Finally, it is also the safest method of control. As long as the spiritual seed is planted, he does not have to worry about betrayal by his subordinates.

But if the Soul Seed Network wants to expand, it faces two problems.

One is the issue of computing power. In order to oversee the entire Psyche Seed network, Murphy must be at the center of the Psyche Seed communication network. He must be the single convergence point. Therefore, the transmission and forwarding of information must be completed by him, which requires a large amount of computing power.

Now the anti-cancer virus training task is basically close to his daily processing limit. If he wants to expand the scale, he must find a way to increase his computing power.

The second is the bandwidth issue. The seed of the soul can transmit all kinds of information. In addition to the simplest text information, it can also transmit sound, vision, and even other sensory information. It is not impossible to directly transmit a piece of thought. But among them, only text information has the smallest amount of information. If you want to rely on the Soul Seed network to monitor the other party's other feeling information in real time, you need a larger transmission bandwidth.

However, Murphy's way of doing things has always been to use it first if it can be used, and to ride the donkey to find the horse. Both of these problems need to be solved slowly, but before they are solved, the Soul Seed Network cannot be used first.

So before the end of July, several key members of Murphy's staff: Patrick, Rashim, Winston, Barty Crouch, Lucius, the Wood brothers and sisters, Barty Crouch Jr., Boris, Werewolf The mercenary Radwan and others all signed a special magic agreement and joined the psychic seed network that Murphy specially formed for his core members: Ravenloft.

In August, the Soviet Union National Laboratory project was officially put on the agenda.

The Soviet Army took over this task and began to look for great scientists who could preside over the plan.

At the same time, in order to solve the problem of wizard manpower needed for magic experiments, Murphy sent a letter to the Queen in Alkaim.
