I can enter Hogwarts in the last days

Chapter 331 Unveiling the Eco-City

There was no need for humility. After Ian pulled out the chair and sat down, Fudge and Amelia also chose to take their seats after deliberately slowing down for a moment.

It is true that identity determines the topic.

Compared to the taciturnity of the Muggle dignitaries on the other side, Ian's table was full of chatter and laughter, especially Minister Fudge, who almost had all his talents in social chatting.

There was no lull in the half-hour chat, and the whole process was maintained in a warm and smooth atmosphere of 65°.

Especially when the representatives of the International Federation of Wizards arrived midway, it pushed the atmosphere of this small tea party to its peak.

……

"Oh!"

A soft sound interrupted everyone's conversation.

Looking at the tall old man in front of him, Ian chuckled and said, "Professor, you are late!"

"It's not my fault, you should blame Minerva! She insisted on letting me wait until the game started before I could leave."

Dumbledore opened his mouth to find someone to take the blame, while blinking innocently.

Then, Dumbledore looked around and said, "Sorry, Cornelius! I've kept you waiting for so long, I think we can start now!"

"Okay, okay! Let's go in now." As soon as Fudge finished speaking, an accompanying clerk from the Ministry of Magic stood up and walked towards the Muggles.

As for Dumbledore's apology, Fudge didn't respond the whole time. It seems that the minister was a little concerned about it.

Looking at this scene, Ian also chuckled and said nothing.

If someone else were to look at Fudge's performance just now, he might think that the minister was angry with Dumbledore for being late.

However, Ian knew that by dismissing Dumbledore in front of him, Fudge was quietly drawing a line and making his position clear.

No one is stupid, but the old principal seems to have never seen him before, still smiling gently.

Seeing this, Ian also admired the old man's mind. As long as Dumbledore had a temper, he would not be bullied to death.

Especially in the original book, he was kicked out of school again and again.

Closer to home.

After everyone arrived, everyone also entered this ecological city that has been devoted to countless efforts.

Ian had looked at it uncertainly before, but when he actually entered this area, he was still shocked by the power of modern industry.

After entering the gate, what comes into view is a wide street with no end in sight, with rows of 7-story tube buildings on both sides.

Different from traditional houses, these tube buildings adopt a post-modernist architectural style. More importantly, the structure of these buildings is only a pitiful three meters wide.

Moreover, each floor uses an open-air corridor, with standard wooden doors arranged neatly.

This structure also gave Ian an inexplicable sense of familiarity. It was almost like the old cities in his previous life.To put it more intuitively, it is more like the pig cage village in the Xingye Kung Fu movie.

Of course, this is not the end.

The three-meter-wide tube building blooms on both sides to save space to the maximum extent. There are residents on both front and back sides. In other words, regardless of the thickness of the wall, each household is only allocated one square meter of space.

If it weren't for the existence of the extension spell, these rooms wouldn't be inhabited, and they wouldn't be able to move their feet even if they were squatting in a pit to go to the toilet.

……

"...The total area is 1.2 square kilometers. We have divided it into 12 areas, including 4 living areas, 2 entertainment and shopping areas, 2 industrial areas, 2 agricultural areas, as well as medical areas and education areas."

"...In our plan, seven to 1000 million people will live here in the future. If it is operated at full capacity, it can accommodate a maximum of 500 people..."

At this moment, everyone was standing in a spacious room, listening to a middle-aged man talk. In front of him was a thumbnail of an ecological city.

<divclass="contentadv">Ian also looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with interest. He was said to be the chief engineer of this construction and the founder of a listed construction company.

The degree alone is a lot, let alone work experience and award certificates.

If I really wanted to introduce it in detail, my resume alone would probably fill a whole piece of printing paper.

However, there is such a being that ordinary people need to look up to. At this moment, he is standing in front of the map with a respectful demeanor and a serious expression, in order to explain the division of ecological cities to everyone.

"How to solve the agricultural farming problem?" Ian interrupted the other party's explanation.

But no one thought it was inappropriate. No one present was a human spirit. Everyone could clearly see the scene at the door just now.

Fudge, the future native emperor of the British Isles, would like to please him. Not to mention interrupting the explanation, he would even receive a slap in the face with a smile on his face.

The chief engineer was no fool. He bowed slightly, then pointed to the other side of the map and explained:

"With the existence of the Extension Spell, the cultivated area of ​​our two agricultural areas has reached 10 acres. Of course, these lands are far from enough to feed 1000 million people, so we still need to use magic."

Having said this, he looked at the Ministry of Magic entourage aside.

At this time, a clerk behind Fudge walked to the front desk after obtaining the minister's consent.

"The Ministry of Magic has drafted a document that will arrange for 40 wizards to be stationed in agricultural areas and regularly release expansion spells and rapid growth spells..."

After a series of data was taken out, Ian also dispelled his doubts.

After all, food is the most important thing for the people, and food issues are always the top priority.

Although 10 acres sounds scary, it translates into 60 acres of cultivated area. One acre of land can be cultivated in one year and can feed two adults.

If cultivated according to traditional methods, even if all these 60 acres of land are grown in food, it can only feed 120 million people at most. But tens of millions of people live here, so a 1:10 difference is far from enough.

But in the face of magic, all these problems are solved.

Ian's question seemed to be a signal, and as time passed, everyone also asked questions they cared about.

One of the financial oligarchs in particular asked about the monetary system.

The person who asked the question was an old man. Many people may not know his name, but many people have heard of his industry, the famous HSBC Bank.

And this is just one of the other's many industries.

"The Ministry of Magic has decided to abandon the original financial system and adopt wizard currency uniformly. Those who have invested in urban construction will receive compensation from the Ministry of Magic in proportion to gold galleons..."

The answerer was still the clerk from the Ministry of Magic.

Ian looked at the clerk who was chatting across from him, and he knew without guessing that he was most likely a Muggle-born wizard. Otherwise, why would he expect a pureblood to study finance?Be funny.

……

After the preliminary explanation, the next step is the on-site inspection. Considering the area of ​​the ecological city, it is impossible to measure it with two legs.

Therefore, the Muggle government has already prepared electric sightseeing vehicles.

After taking a quick look around for half a day, Ian was a little confused at the moment.

The so-called ecological city of Emotion is a replica of the factory area of ​​a large Eastern country in the 60s, and it is also a large factory with tens of thousands of people.

The factory area is like a microcosm of a small society, with factory hospitals, bathhouses, supply and marketing cooperatives, cinemas, grain stores, barber shops...

In this comparison, Ian was relieved. At least this model was mature and there was no need to worry about trouble.

After all, there used to be large factories with tens of thousands of people, and all kinds of facilities were available in the factory area. Many people had not left the factory for decades, so you can imagine the living conditions inside.

The great era of the factory has begun, meow~
