Head of Teaching at Hogwarts

Russell felt like he had been communicating with Slytherin's ghost for several hours, but the elixir made his instincts very sensitive, and he knew clearly that all of this actually happened within 5 minutes.

The sense of dislocation in time made Russell feel a burst of mental contradictions and discomfort, and at the same time he had a deeper understanding of Voldemort's madness.

A mere time dislocation can make people feel mentally uncomfortable, not to mention the sense of identity dislocation brought about by having seven perspectives and brains at the same time.

And Slytherin himself, who developed this magic, actually maintained his sanity for more than 1000 years, which is really scary.

Just now, Russell repeatedly hinted that "you are not Salazar Slytherin" in an attempt to make the other party fall into self-doubt of identity, but the other party's self-perception was very firm, and Russell's hints had no effect.

However, in terms of cooperation in knowledge exchange, Slytherin did show his sincerity. This may be because the cloning technology mentioned by Russell gave Slytherin himself the hope of regaining his body.

According to Ghost's description, he has been keeping his body and part of his flesh and blood, hiding it somewhere, and he can completely clone himself. Such a body will be more useful than the bodies of his descendants, even Voldemort's body. So easy to use.

Russell also did not hide the possible shortcomings of cloning technology.

For example, the ethical issues surrounding cloning technology may make scientists who master these technologies reluctant to clone humans.

However, this problem is not difficult to solve. After all, if there is really a chance to avoid public surveillance of human cloning, Russell believes that there will be no shortage of scientific research madmen who are immersed in it.

What's more important is that cloning technology may have its own flaws.

The year is 1992, and Russell remembers very clearly that Dolly, the world's first asexually reproduced mammalian cloned sheep, was successfully created in 1996.

But Dolly, the cloned sheep, died of severe progressive lung disease in 2003. Her lifespan was only six years, while sheep usually live about 12 years.

In addition, Dolly the cloned sheep was diagnosed with arthritis and other geriatric diseases of sheep when she died at the age of six, which shows that it is very likely that her lifespan was not calculated from the age of zero at the time of her birth. Rather, it is the same six years old as the ewe that provided the genetic material.

If this hypothesis is true, then using Slytherin's body for cloning will most likely result in just a few bodies of Slytherin when he was old and on the verge of death, which would not help him truly gain immortality.

However, Russell also made it clear to Voldemort a possible advantage - magic goes against existing scientific principles. If these magics that go against existing scientific principles are used to replace key parts of science and technology, it is very likely that Make unexpected breakthroughs.

"Can you give me some scientific research information from the Muggle world? It's hard to imagine what they have done in these more than 1000 years. At our time, they were like bugs digging in the ground. They just relied on Just bite more people." Ghost made a request.

This made Russell a little hesitant. He was a little worried that the ghost of Slytherin would bypass him and seek other people to obtain some scientific cooperation.

However, Russell thought for a moment and agreed. At least now he was making a deal with Slytherin, and he was still a free agent, not to mention the existence of Goldfinger. He did not believe that he would be better than Slytherin. Leitlin's progress was slow.

The worst case scenario was to ask Dumbledore to come over while there was still gas in the gas tank of Dumbledore's classic car, and carry out a righteous gang fight against Slytherin, physically destroying him.

Anyway, according to what the Slytherin ghost revealed, he should have a lot of soul backup hidden in other places, and Russell can also find other Slytherin souls to cooperate.

"Okay, as a price, I want to know some history about the founding of Hogwarts. I have read many books and they have mentioned this period of history, but they are either confusing and contradictory, or they are just There are only a few words left, which have no reference value at all.”

"You want to know my story. Sure enough, you are my admirer!" Ghost said with a very proud tone, leaving Russell speechless and even beginning to suspect that he was able to maintain his self-awareness for more than 1000 years because of this self-confidence. The spirit of love.

However, the ghost still told the story. He seemed to be stuck in long memories, thought for a long time, and said seriously: "The idea of ​​establishing Hogwarts was first proposed by me..."

"But according to the literature, it was Gryffindor who first came up with the idea of ​​building Hogwarts, and then..."

Russell interrupted the Slytherin ghost's narration, but was soon interrupted by the other party, "Believe me, I know the origin of Hogwarts better than those who claim to be historical recorders."

After saying that, Ghost paused before continuing: "I first proposed the idea of ​​establishing Hogwarts and told it to my best friend Gryffindor at the time. However, Gryffindor was indeed the one who established Hogwarts. He was the person who contributed the most at this time. In the early days of Hogwarts' establishment, he almost devoted his life to guarding Hogwarts against all kinds of attacks from the outside world..."

"Attack? Would anyone dare to attack the Big Four's Hogwarts?" Russell asked curiously.

The ghost shook his head in a very anthropomorphic manner, and then asked in a slightly mocking tone: "You don't think Hogwarts was built in peace, do you? Or do you think the four of us were called For the Big Four?”

Russell nodded to express his understanding. The emergence of a new thing will definitely encounter opposition from the old forces. This is an inevitable rule, and then motioned to the ghost to continue.

The ghost of Slytherin continued: "At that time, most wizards adopted the apprenticeship system. An adult wizard would take several young wizards to travel around the Muggle palace or the countryside, or have a fixed residence. These Apprentices are not only students, but they are also assistants and even experimental subjects.”

"This method is obviously not conducive to the development of wizards, so at that time, even if wizards mastered magic, they were often massacred by Muggles. Wizards were once called the incarnation of the devil."

"Our ideal is to have all the little wizards from the British Isles come to Hogwarts to study. I even invented a magic that can automatically confirm the location and identity of the little wizards through their magical blood. This is undoubtedly a great development for those young wizards. The way apprenticeships are set up is one of destruction.”

"Countless wizards have begun to take actions against us and Hogwarts, and Gryffindor is responsible for settling these things..."
