Admiral of Hogwarts

After completing the inspection of the lunar base. Hugo now faced the war with greater certainty. Although from a pure wizard's point of view, it is not easy for them to achieve an overwhelming victory, they already have the capital to completely overturn the table.

Of course, apart from accumulating enough capital to develop into space, the most important purpose is to resolve conflicts between wizards and ordinary people that may exist in the future.

Taking into account the development of the Internet in the future and the smartphone terminals that can connect to the Internet, Hugo feels that if the wizarding world does not make changes, it will be exposed sooner or later.

Although judging from the last chapter of the original text, the wizards successfully kept their secrets until the Internet age, but without knowing the inside story, Hugo felt that it was not a bad thing to be prepared in this regard.

At least in Hugo's view, if a conflict breaks out between wizards and ordinary people, it is most likely to be about competition for resources and dissatisfaction with the concentration of magical power in the hands of a few people.

And now the overall plan laid out by Hugo and the ship girls can solve this existing serious problem from the root. After all, they have developed a new extraordinary system and at the same time found an almost unlimited source of resources in a short period of time.

In fact, even at this very rudimentary level, the aerospace program has begun to feed back those ship girls at various nodes on the earth.

For example, when building a lunar base, they can plant and breed some magical creatures that are sensitive to cosmic energy on the moon and outer space, and collect materials like star iron that come from the universe and are very rare on earth.

For example, they found a special magic metal called lunar silver on the moon. It has extremely strong magic-guiding properties and can replace mithril, which is very rare on earth.

There are now no less than a hundred kinds of magical materials produced in outer space, such as lunar silver. Although these things are not easy to mine and refine, Hugo and Ship Girl have almost a complete monopoly on these materials. Production, the profits can be imagined.

For example, because the mining of high-end minerals such as mithril was monopolized by pure-blood families, it was natural for them to be choked by pure-blood families in the production of many high-end items.

But now that lunar minerals have come online, all the previous shackles have been lifted. Not only will they not be controlled by others, they can even cut off the economic lifeline of pure-blood families at any time.

It's just that considering that the development of outer space requires sufficient manpower, and the current secretive state is conducive to recruiting manpower, the ship girls have remained quiet.

Not long after Hugo visited the lunar base and returned, Hermione also found an opportunity to go there for a brief visit. And proposed to recruit those house elves without owners to join the construction work.

This opinion was quickly approved by the collective of the ship girls. After all, the magic level of house elves is no less than that of ordinary adult wizards, and the whereabouts of those house elves who originally lost their masters are basically not noticed by anyone. It is easy to attract suspicious eyes.

Soon, it was mid-May. The final exam is about to begin. However, what is different from previous years is that this year because she became a ship girl, Hermione did not rush to prepare for review work like in previous years, but put more energy into some work that belonged to a ship girl.

On the one hand, this is because at this time, the first two colony ships have completed all assembly and adjustment work and are heading to Mars, so the entire organization is busy, and every ship girl needs to contribute her part.

On the other hand, after becoming a ship girl, Hermione also has the unique photographic memory and quick thinking characteristics of a ship girl, so there is no need to focus a lot of energy on repeated memorization and thinking and understanding like in the past review. .

It's just that the sequelae of this is that too much of the computing balance is used to think about things related to the current war, so that the whole person's reaction usually seems a bit slow.

"Calculating the defensive artillery array of the new colony is a very complicated matter, because we have to find the key balance between artillery power and artillery consumption." On this day, Hermione explained to her brother what she was doing. What are you busy with?

Although for the ship girl, she can completely report this information to Hugo through the Admiral Network, but a ship girl like Hermione who has become a monk is still more accustomed to using language rather than information flow to communicate with other similar people.

"Which side are you calculating?" After confirming that there was no one around, Hugo asked his sister in a low voice. Although he was indeed the admiral, he really didn't care much about these details.

"On the other side of Mars." Hermione replied, "In three weeks, the first two expedition ships will arrive on Mars to start preliminary construction work, and the buildings started at the same time will naturally include the base defense system.

"Has the progress reached this point? Then time is really tight." Hugo nodded and said, at least judging from the documents sent by the previous ship girls, the Mars base is obviously much more important than the moon base, and its scale is also smaller. Much bigger.

Unlike the moon, which relies mainly on the earth for support and is only used as a base and transit station, the Mars base will become the core of the near-term inner and outer space colonies.

According to their plan, in addition to the basic materials for early start-up imported from the outside world, all the remaining needs of this colony will come from Mars itself and the asteroid belt not far away, making it completely self-sufficient.

It is also because of this importance that Hermione has been so busy recently. So much so that even the exams that she usually attaches most importance to can be temporarily put aside.

Fortunately, Hermione's current behavior did not arouse the suspicion of others. After all, they had always been very good at studying, and their friend Veneto was preparing for the last event of the Triwizard Tournament, so they did not focus on it. It can also be understood during review.

Because now, except for Veneto, none of the players participating in the Triwizard Tournament are focusing on the final exam.

Although there was an unexpected incident, everyone still decided to let the game continue. However, due to the accident involving the death of a person, the competition was inevitably cast into a shadow, and everyone's enthusiasm for the competition also cooled down significantly.

For example, there are obviously fewer people wearing support badges now, and there are not so many people watching the contestants.

Of course, this may also be because this kind of thing has been going on for more than half a year, so everyone seems to be a little tired of aesthetics, just like eating big meals every day will make you tired of it.

But no matter what, since the competition has decided to continue under such circumstances, it is also very important whether the competition can be won. The contestants naturally do not dare to relax their preparations in this regard.

At least for these contestants, whether it is 1000 Galleons or the title of Triwizard Champion, they are very precious. They are the kind of things that will make life much easier after being obtained, so they absolutely need to win them. .
