Hogwarts: Wizards of Eternity

An inch of time is worth an inch of gold, but you can't buy an inch of time with an inch of gold.

Time is the most ubiquitous yet most precious resource in the world.

Airplanes, automobiles, engineering machinery, industry... in a sense, are all technologies that compress time.

Humanity can do more in less time, and the world has ushered in an era of great development. In over a hundred years, it's as if an acceleration button has been pressed, producing more than the sum of the past millennia.

And the greatest significance of Roger's virtual reality in the eyes of elite wizards is that it makes the 'time' of the wizarding civilization several times that of the Muggle civilization!

It can even be said that every slight increase in the rate of thought acceleration represents a greater crushing advantage of wizards over Muggles.

So when the press conference entered the Q\u0026A session, almost all the questioners in the entire venue were asking questions centered around this issue.

But Roger didn't talk too much about this issue, after all, it is not Roger's main technical focus now.

But with Roger unwilling to budge, they had no other choice.

"You said that the virtual reality client can be popularized to thousands of households in the UK within half a year, so may I ask, after completing the domestic popularization, do you have any plans to spread virtual reality to other countries?"

Seeing that they couldn't get any other inside information from Roger, the next person called to ask a question changed direction.

The person who spoke was a middle-aged wizard. He was a reporter, but not a reporter from the British wizarding media.

He is from Germany.

Now the magical circles of Britain and Germany have begun close cooperation, and some important things of British wizards are also being followed by many people in Germany.

Especially Roger's affairs, which are being focused on by a faction of political forces led by Vogel, the Minister of Magic of Germany.

This world is not just the Hogwarts Board of Governors who know the value of the goods. There are many smart people in the world, and Germany also wants the right to use this technology.

"Of course, our ultimate goal is to popularize virtual reality to the whole world," Roger gave a positive answer.

"In the future, virtual reality will become an indispensable part of human beings. It will be as ubiquitous as the Internet electronic signals that Muggles are currently using."

"I believe that this extremely convenient thing should not be limited to one country or one place," Roger continued to add.

Not to mention the Second Magic related matters, when virtual reality is fully rolled out, it can basically completely replace various signal receiving electronic devices such as televisions, computers, and mobile phones.

The various functions of the Internet, virtual reality can not only do all of them, but also do them better.

...No, some individual things cannot be replaced.

For example, content that certain minors cannot access. Although virtual reality can completely do it, but...humans must have various privacy needs.

The essence of Roger's networking function is the coverage and interference of the upper virtual world on the lower virtual world.

Being able to interfere naturally allows one to retrieve some 'historical records'.

Obviously, not everyone can accept that what they do is seen under the eyes of another person.

The teachers and students inside Hogwarts don't care, because the person currently in charge of networking is Roger, and Roger is a Seer. They already have a general understanding of what a Seer can do in a year of getting along.

So they didn't have any other ideas.

And Roger's current power is not enough to achieve global networking. In the future, there will definitely be a period of time when countries around the world will establish their own 'regional networks', and there may be another twist at that time.

Of course, although these problems are foreseeable, Roger didn't mention them much, because no one can say for sure about the future. Maybe after a while, his technology will have new breakthroughs and be able to solve this problem?

This is also a common problem faced by many Seers. Even if they can see things that may happen in the distant future, they will not say too much, because for Seers, the future is not absolutely destined.

It's not good to be too talkative before things are about to happen, it might backfire.

"You said before that you would sell the virtual reality client at a lower price, so may I ask if you will charge extra according to the experience content in the virtual reality?"

Roger saw an acquaintance in the crowd, Luna's father, the editor-in-chief of The Quibbler.

After Roger called him up, Xenophilius Lovegood asked a more realistic question.

"Regarding this issue, my personal opinion is to allow charging, but prohibit random charging," Roger was not repelled by this question.

This is indeed a key issue.

"As we all know, when the virtual world was created by me, it was just an 'empty shell'. If you want to gradually improve it and make it more and more close to reality, or more and more mysterious, it will definitely require the efforts of many people."

"My personal subspace magic technology company is willing to provide some basic services for free."

"But some advanced customized needs, not only can my company carry out research and development, but also some public wizards can show their magical powers. If someone develops something interesting and wants to charge for it, I think prohibiting it would break a certain positive cycle."

Roger answered Xenophilius' question very seriously.

His meaning is very simple, that is, Roger is building this platform for free.

But Roger encourages the folk-made DLC and various software applications to make profits from it.

But if someone wants to engage in technological monopoly and carry out mandatory high-priced charging, then Roger will have to step in and manage it.

The popularization of the Second Magic will be launched together with the popularization of virtual reality, but it will obviously take a long time for wizards to obtain and fully control this power.

During this window period when the wizarding community is turning to a high-martial civilization, Roger will try his best to maintain the healthy development of the virtual reality industry.

After answering Xenophilius Lovegood's question, Roger casually clicked on the blonde woman sitting not far from him.

Rita Skeeter, the special reporter representing the Daily Prophet.

Roger certainly couldn't not give her a chance to speak for the well-known local newspaper.

Rita Skeeter stood up, she kept in mind the instructions given by the BOSS, and did not dare to prick thorns in this occasion.

She asked a question that was also relatively critical and serious: "Director Roger, you said that you want to promote virtual reality technology to foreign countries and even the whole world, so may I ask if you have considered whether other countries are willing to accept it."

"If they accept, is there a possibility that they will set up laws to carry out some bad operations?"

"What do you plan to do if this happens?"
