The Admiral of Hogwarts

"He ran away?" Hugo, watching the battlefield situation through the Admiral Network, stared blankly at Voldemort's departure, assuming such a big boss would fight to the very last moment.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Voldemort, as a generation of枭雄 (xiāo xióng - a powerful and ambitious leader), certainly wouldn't be the kind of stubborn fool who sticks to one path until the end. Just recalling what he did with Helga Hufflepuff's cup back then shows that he's a person who can adapt to circumstances.

So, under the circumstances where his body was clearly injured and he didn't even have his wand, it's understandable that Voldemort would just run away.

After Voldemort left, Saint George and Richelieu also departed together. At this time, the always-dreaming Le Fantasque, who had been watching the entire battle from not far away, was also preparing to leave.

"I... thank you for saving me. Can you tell me your name?" Harry said with some apprehension. Especially with Le Fantasque wearing a blue robe and a peculiar golden half-mask, he felt an unexplainable sense of eeriness, making his voice tremble even more.

"You can call me Le Fantasque," Le Fantasque replied with her French name. Obviously, Harry probably wouldn't be able to glean any clues from it.

"I still have some things to do next, so I have to leave first. But don't worry, I've already notified your Ministry of Magic, and reinforcements should arrive soon."

After saying that, Le Fantasque left Harry in a hurry and disappeared into the woods, thinking that Harry would receive reinforcements soon, so she had to quickly clean up some of the more conspicuous traces on the battlefield to avoid leaving any loose ends.

"How's the loot from this mission?" After confirming that Harry was safe, Hugo focused his attention on the spoils of war. The reason why only Richelieu rushed over earlier was not only because everyone trusted her combat power, but mainly because everyone else was tied up.

Because after obtaining the location of the so-called Mother of Nightmares' lair from her memories, almost all of the ship girls in standby mode had gone to those lairs, so naturally there was a shortage of manpower.

"A great harvest. In addition to the massive amount of money accumulated by the other party over 600 years, the main thing is some knowledge that even wizards don't have," Hood, who was in charge of searching for the spoils of war, said.

For the ship girls who were preparing for a large-scale interstellar colonization plan, every bit of wealth accumulation was meaningful, so they were now almost simultaneously launching attacks to clear out the Mother of Nightmares' secret camps.

Compared to the previous battle, this cleanup work was obviously much easier. It was so easy because, in addition to the ship girls' outstanding combat power, the Mother of Nightmares' gathering had taken away most of the core members.

"The amount of cash the other party accumulated isn't much, only about twenty or thirty thousand Galleons. But the warehouse is filled with various raw materials and semi-finished products worth almost a hundred times that amount," Hood quickly reported.

"More importantly, compared to humans in magic related to body modification, these Mothers of Nightmares are no worse than human wizards, and it can even be said that they are much stronger."

"It's just that due to slight differences in the use of magic by different beings, coupled with the human wizards' arrogance towards other creatures, human wizards don't pay attention to this."

"Can you talk about what these flesh-related magical effects include?" Hugo and Veneto sat back-to-back at this time. Anyway, reinforcements might not arrive for a long time, so he planned to use this time.

"Mainly content related to physical enhancement, which can make the human body much stronger than before," Hood replied after quickly sorting out the information found by several ship girls.

"For example, adding an extra heart, which would allow the implantee to have a higher survival rate in the event of injury, or strengthening the bones to make them several times stronger than they are now—"

Hood listed all the items related to human enhancement found in the Mother of Nightmares' camp. According to her, there were more than a hundred of these enhancement projects, claiming to be able to comprehensively strengthen the human body.

"Are you sure this is a magical experiment conducted by the Mothers of Nightmares, and not some magical version of the Astartes' 19 enhancement surgeries?" After listening to the general report, Hugo suddenly felt an urge to complain.

"Maybe it's a case of different paths leading to the same destination. After all, among the enhancements based on humans, there are only a few aspects to enhance. Unless you want to create non-human beings like super mutants, we don't have many choices."

"Then what are you going to do with this knowledge next?" Hugo asked with some curiosity. "Are you going to put it into use directly now?"

"How is that possible? Putting this stuff into use directly is slaughter!" Hood said seriously. "The success rate of most of these enhancement projects is too low, but the mortality rate is particularly high, so they can't be used on people under normal circumstances."

"So, these projects will select reliable personnel for research, and will only be popularized after testing and confirming their safety. Before that, at most some individual experiments will be conducted."

"That's right, that's a scientific research attitude." After listening to Hood's words, Hugo nodded with satisfaction, and then asked another question he was concerned about. "How valuable are these things to us?"

"These things are very valuable, especially for our interstellar colonization plan," Repulse on the space station said seriously.

"After all, our interstellar colonization plan cannot be supported by us ship girls alone, so we must rely on humans in the operation, but humans are too fragile in the universe."

"Even wizards will encounter various problems without casting spells in advance, not to mention ordinary people whose individual strength is even weaker than wizards."

"Yes, compared to the ground, the vast starry sky seems to need the existence of this kind of thing even more." Hugo raised his head to look at the brilliant starry sky, and then sighed.

Compared to other aspects of technology, biochemical technology is a weakness of the ship girls. This is mainly because they are not flesh-and-blood creatures, so naturally they don't have much research in this area.

After starting the exploration of outer space, the ship girls discovered that this had become a fatal flaw in the exploration process. If they wanted to make use of those human followers, then strengthening their bodies was an unavoidable option.

The previous multiple non-wizard extraordinary professions were an exploration in this area, but the threshold for that kind of strengthening method was too high, and the requirements for individual talent were also very high, so ordinary people couldn't do it.

Therefore, the ship girls naturally needed a strengthening plan with very strong universality. Even if the overall improvement to people was not as good as the previous strengthening plans, it was still much better than facing various dangers with such a fragile body now.

Originally, Hugo and the others planned to start the development of human enhancement engineering after the construction of the lunar base was completed, but now with this batch of spoils, the overall research speed will be greatly accelerated, and a complete set of feasible enhancement plans should be produced at the same time as the permanent Martian base is completed.
