The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

When Link was surprised that the Kennedy brothers and sisters brought back a container of AK-47.

Big Kennedy was also secretly observing Link's expression.

Seeing that the coldness on Link's face due to seeing them drinking, having fun and being passive at work gradually disappeared, Kennedy finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He came up and smiled, elbowed Link and said:

"Boss, the prototype of this equipment doesn't have a name yet. What do you think about calling it Kdy-47?"

When Link heard this, he glanced at Kennedy, with a speechless expression on his face.

This name is clearly the first and last letters of Kennedy, plus the splicing of the AK-47 number.

Naming things after one's own name is a common hobby of scientists?

After being looked at by Link with that strange look for a long time, Kennedy's expression shrank and he said:

"Okay, okay, then let's not use this name, just call him Link-47!"

This time it’s even more extreme!

Just use Link’s name!

Link waved his hand in disgust and said:

"You can decide these small questions on your own. Let me ask you, have you gained anything else from your research work in Muggle society this time?"

It was okay that Link didn't mention it, but Kennedy became excited again when he mentioned it.

He repeatedly shook his palms to give Link a 'wait' gesture, and then took out several large boxes from under the workbench.

"Boss, Muggles have made great progress during this period!" Big Kennedy said while opening the box, "If you hadn't given us this opportunity, I don't think I would have made such a magical discovery in my life. Got it!"

When Kennedy sighed, Link had already joined in.

But the things piled inside the box made Link stunned.

MP3 player, DND board game, a box of expensive-looking cigars plus a full set of cigar care tools, a dozen metal kerosene lighters engraved with various patterns...

Several suitcases were filled to the brim with all kinds of things that Link could name or couldn't name.

"Ah! By the way, boss! You must try this!"

Big Kennedy's exclamation drew Link's attention back again.

But when Link turned his head, he saw that what the other person was holding was a toilet seat!

“This toilet seat is extraordinary!” Kennedy explained, “It plays music and sprays warm water to help you clean it!

The only regret is that all Muggle electronic devices in the Hogwarts area will fail, so this thing will naturally not work.

But please believe me!

The experience it can give you is absolutely perfect!

and this……"

Big Kennedy threw the toilet seat that he had boasted about just now into the suitcase that was like a garbage dump, and then opened another small suitcase.

But when he excitedly opened the box, what was revealed was a box full of women's underwear...

"what--"

Little Kennedy once again showed Link her lion's roar skill.

His little face was completely red, he screamed and jumped up from the sofa, kicked the big Kennedy over, then took back the box and shrank back again.

This brief display of ferocity left Link stunned.

After a while, Kennedy got up with great difficulty.

He also wanted to open other boxes, but was stopped by Link's eyes that turned cold again.

Big Kennedy rubbed his hands.

He actually knows it himself.

He used Link's research funds to buy so many things, but in essence he was still satisfying his own selfish desires.

As for research, that really doesn’t count.

However, this is also impossible.

He glanced at his mouth and explained to Link:

"Boss, it's not that we deliberately misappropriated funds, but those Muggle technologies now are actually not as useful as you think."

Link didn't have much expression on his face, he just said lightly:

"Oh? What do you say?"

Big Kennedy pointed to the Link-47 that had been dismantled and placed on the workbench and said:

"I know you want to say that this thing was invented with inspiration from Muggle guns?

But in fact, it is not the Muggle technology that really plays a key role in this, but us, brother and sister.

Think about it, there are not just one or two wizards who have been interested in Muggle culture and technology over the years.

But why were we the only ones to invent this set of equipment?

Of course, I'm not denying your point about 'Muggle technology having reference significance'.

I mean, Muggle technology does have reference points for us right now. "

As he spoke, Kennedy took out a green circuit board from his arms, "Take this thing for example. We have studied the circuit on it and found that it can actually be replaced by ancient magic texts.

Although the technical difficulty here is not much weaker than optimizing Link-47’s magic circuit,

But if it can really be realized, then the circuit composed of ancient magic texts will be countless times better in terms of performance, power consumption and efficiency!

The only problem is...

What these Muggle machines can do today, we wizards can also do with magic!

And it’s more convenient and faster!

Therefore, this technology is actually not very practical, and the entire Muggle technology is not that helpful and reference to us.

And if you look at it the other way around, wizards' alchemy technology is a huge improvement over Muggle technology.

Let me give you an example. "

Kennedy took out his magic wand and pointed at two pieces of metal ore placed on the work surface.

Immediately, a magical flame with terrifying high temperature wrapped the two pieces of ore and floated them up.

Under the stimulation of magic power and the high temperature, the two ores continued to melt, purify, and fuse, and finally cooled into a silver-white metal ingot in the hands of Big Kennedy.

"This is mithril, one of the most basic materials in alchemy. Although it is of high value, in terms of the difficulty of refining it, even a new alchemist apprentice can easily refining it."

Big Kennedy kept throwing the mithril ingot in his hand and said, "But even this kind of mithril, with the Muggles' metallurgical technology that is still at the surface alloy level, they may not be able to produce it even if they are given another 200 years.

They can't even understand what deep smelting is?

Why are the two materials obviously the same, but after they are smelted, what emerges is just the most ordinary alloy, but after passing through our hands, it turns into an extraordinary metal like mithril?

Not only that.

Mithril is called one of the most basic materials in alchemy.

It is entirely because it has extremely strong tolerance and can be re-smelted with other extraordinary metals to form various extraordinary alloys.

To wizards, mithril itself does not actually have much value. What is truly valuable are the various alloys smelted by mithril.

And this mithril, which we regard as a basic material, has a conductivity that far exceeds that of all metals in the Muggle world!

There are many similar examples. You should understand what this means, right? "

After listening to Big Kennedy's story, Link nodded.

He was certainly aware of the importance of basic materials to science.

Looking back at history, we can find that there is a dialectical clue between the development of materials, the development of society and human civilization.

The reason why many modern technologies cannot achieve explosive growth is actually rooted in materials.

Take battery technology for example.

Computers, mobile phones, electric vehicles, headphones, drones...

In fact, the technological capabilities of these industries have already developed to the next dimension, and have even created a new era.

It is just the bottleneck of basic materials that limits the capacity, volume and cost of batteries, which in turn affects the development of the above-mentioned industries.

If Muggles could obtain the metallurgical technology of wizards, then basic materials science would inevitably see a wave of explosive progress.

Then, based on these advances, countless new possibilities will develop.

He shook his head silently.

Link encouraged the Kennedy brothers and sisters, asking them to work harder on the research and development of ancient magic text transformation magic circuits and imitating Muggle circuits, and to continue investigating Muggle society before leaving the workshop laboratory directly.

Emily stood quietly in the corridor waiting for him.

It was as if he had expected him to appear here.

"Have you seen the new inventions of the Kennedy brothers?"

Emily took Link's arm very naturally and said.

Hearing this, Link raised his eyebrows and said:

"Huh? How do you know they have a new invention?"

"Because their invention was completed as early as the Christmas holiday, it was efficient enough, so John allowed them to relax for a few days."

After speaking, Emily glanced at Link and said, "They shouldn't tell you that this was just made, right?"

Link smiled bitterly and shook his head:

“That’s not what I said.

But they didn't tell me that John had given them a day off.

so……"

"So you instinctively think that they just finished their work and gave them a few days off?"

As soon as Emily finished speaking, she covered her mouth and laughed before Link could answer.

Link didn't care when he saw this, and walked towards the auditorium holding hands with Emily.

It wasn't until she was halfway through that Emily gradually came to her senses. She leaned weakly on Link and said with some confusion:

"There's one thing I've never understood. Why do you pay so much attention to Muggle technology?

At present, Muggle technological products are actually of little use to us.

Even if you are afraid of the Muggles' legendary nuclear weapons and other increasingly expanding military forces, you don't need to be too afraid because we have magic. "

"Ah, you're right." Link said calmly, "As of now, this is indeed the case."

Emily instantly understood the meaning of Link's words and said thoughtfully:

"So you're saying that the future will be different?"

Link didn't answer, but the corners of his mouth slowly raised into a mysterious smile.

No one in the world knows the development direction and bright prospects of Muggle technology in the next few decades better than Link.

Just for a computer alone, Link felt the need to fight for it.

This kind of struggle is not to plunder money or other resources from Muggle society.

Those things actually don't mean much to wizards. After all, although there are restrictions on the secrecy law on the surface, in fact, thousands of years of coexistence have made the entanglement between wizards and Muggles extremely deep. , most of the resources in the Muggle world are taken by wizards.

What Link wants is technology, a magically modified version of technology.

Over the past thousands of years, wizards have actually been involved in the development of Muggles.

Most of them brought nothing but endless killing and misery to the Muggles.

There are also people who have handed over advanced technology and even the spark of civilization to Muggles.

But regardless of their attitude towards Muggles, they all look down on Muggles in their hearts.

Because they compare themselves to gods!

Weakness and ignorance are not obstacles to survival, arrogance is.

It is precisely because of this arrogance that the development of wizards has been so slow, and it has also given Muggle society the possibility of catching up.

There is a need for communication between cultures.

Limited isolation can indeed develop people's livelihood and make the country stronger.

However, persisting in complacency for thousands of years will only stifle a nation's hope and creativity.

The wizard is a typical representative.

think about it!

How terrifyingly efficient would a magically modified version of the computer be, using digital models to develop new spells?

What is the scene of the Extraordinary Herbal Medicine Society that has absorbed the entire genetically modified agricultural plant grafting technology?

How many new kinds of magic potions can the potion masters who combine the chemical system create?

What will happen to astrology and divination once they are supported by Muggle astronomy and big data?

What changes will a modified version of the Internet made of magic bring to wizards' spellcasting and society?

And aerospace.

With thousands of years of alchemical knowledge and magic, wizards have unparalleled advantages over Muggles in terms of basic materials and mechanical physics.

What will the magic spaceship they created look like?

Should we be able to enter the interstellar age earlier than Muggles?

And what kind of bright future will a magical civilization with the ability to travel across planets and even galaxies have in the endless universe?

Just thinking about it made Link's blood boil.

Although he may never be able to witness the great scene of human beings rushing to the stars and sea in this life.

But this does not prevent Link from laying a solid foundation for future generations.

The only pity is that he can only do these things, but he cannot tell others.

There are so many unexplainable weirdnesses here.

A lot of it he simply couldn't explain.

More importantly, Link had a terrifying feeling that as long as he spoke out all these ideas, great danger would befall him.

This feeling was like a stamp of thought firmly stamped into the deepest part of Link's consciousness.

Controlling Link's behavior, but making Link unable to notice the process at all.

Thinking this, Link smiled and kissed Emily on the forehead.

Then, under Emily's puzzled gaze, she laughed and walked towards the auditorium.
