The Admiral of Hogwarts

In the following period, Hugo mainly focused his energy on practicing various types of magic. Although as an admiral, he had various ways to improve his magical abilities, corresponding practice was still necessary.

Especially the practice with the ship girls was even more so. Although most of the time this kind of practice was equivalent to being beaten badly, the improvement of actual combat level was absolutely undeniable.

Because of Voldemort's return, the wizarding world as a whole seemed calm on the surface, but in reality, undercurrents were already surging. For example, Javelin said that the Aurors were dispatched more frequently than before recently.

According to Javelin, because of the accidental death cases, the Aurors had been working overtime recently to clean up places like Knockturn Alley or the black market.

What I didn't expect was that because these places had been neglected for a long time, the danger level of those places had greatly increased, and even many dark wizards dared to attack the Aurors.

Caught off guard, many Aurors and Hit Wizards were caught, especially those Hit Wizards who had just joined the job in recent years.

Fortunately, the strict training of the Ministry of Magic finally saved everyone's lives, so even the most seriously injured only needed to stay in St. Mungo's for two weeks, and it wouldn't directly lead to the whole village eating.

However, because of this bad situation, the workload of the already stretched Aurors has increased by more than one level, even pure rookies like Javelin are required to lead Hit Wizards to act independently.

"What can be determined now is that the noseless guy is now secretly organizing his forces. Because the prices of a large number of war-related materials on the market are rising," Javelin reported seriously.

"More importantly, according to the information we obtained from several raids on smuggler caravan camps, the type structure of smuggled imported materials has also changed."

"In the past, the most smuggled goods were basically some luxury goods or some expensive raw materials, but now, from a market value perspective, many consumables produced abroad have become popular for smuggling."

"It seems that No-Nose is really preparing for war—" After listening to the report, Hugo sighed and said, "The Order of the Phoenix has too few people, and the Ministry of Magic is so useless, the British wizarding world is in big trouble this time."

Of course, not being in the position, not planning its affairs, so Hugo just sighed at the situation of the wizarding world and shook his head. After all, he is not the Minister of Magic, and there is not much he can do here.

Also during this period, Hugo went to the Sky One space to see the new discovery that Hood called could greatly promote extraterrestrial development and extraterrestrial colonial construction.

"Isn't this just an improved version of the Floo Network?" Looking at the blazing gate of fire, Hugo asked with a puzzled expression, "I remember this thing can only be used for transportation between two relatively fixed points, right—"

"Yes, that's the case under normal circumstances, but we now have huge improvements." Hood said, referring to the platform below the magic gate.

"Unlike the Floo Network on Earth, this thing can transmit materials between two mutually moving points. Because we have now combined the power of magic to create a quantum computer that can calculate the spatial points in the transformation in real time."

"A brilliant idea." Watching boxes being sent to the space gate by a moving forklift, Hugo nodded in admiration, and then asked. "But how do you solve the conflict between electronic products and magic radiation?"

"This is mainly due to the effect of goblin silver and some magic circles." Hood explained. "Through these magical materials, the strong interference of magical power on electronic facilities can be successfully shielded."

"In addition to this magical product, a special alloy named A-type titanium alloy, which is being cast in our lunar laboratory, can also achieve this anti-magic effect."

"Moreover, compared to the expensive goblin silver, the A-type titanium alloy, which gathers the moon's magic power with special magic, is simpler to manufacture and lower in cost. Therefore, it has been selected as the main raw material for future ship construction."

"That's good, after all, since there are wizards in this world, it is very likely that there are some creatures in outer space who have mastered magic. Therefore, this kind of magic-immune material is of great value." Hugo nodded in satisfaction.

"By the way, you just mentioned the lunar laboratory? I remember that your plan should be to establish a preliminary base on the back of the moon by the end of the term, so how did you greatly improve the progress?"

"You will know when you visit it now, Admiral." Hood smiled slightly, and then said: "I can guarantee that what you see will definitely shock you."

"This is really—" Through a space gate, Hugo and Hood came to the secret base located on the back of the moon, and through several large screens, he saw the entire picture of the base at the bottom of the crater at first glance.

Different from the base in the imagination, this large lunar base has very few surface buildings. The real construction area is mainly located underground. Only things like mines and launch centers that cannot be replaced can be on the ground.

"The back of the moon is frequently attacked by various meteorites, and safety issues need to be considered, so building the base underground is the most suitable." Hood explained, knowing the doubts in Hugo's mind now.

"I understand, after all, the previous science fiction novels or movies were just wishful thinking. Only after arriving here will the real situation be understood." Hugo nodded, and then pointed to the screen to inquire about the details of the base.

Under Hood's responsive situation, Hugo quickly understood the various situations of this base. According to Hood, this place has now become an important construction center.

There are now more than 3,800 people working in this base, including more than 3,600 ordinary people, more than 100 werewolves, six giants, and more than a dozen wizards.

The origins of these ordinary people are varied, but one thing can be guaranteed, that is, their absolute loyalty. According to Hood, a large part of them are retired veterans and scholars from various space agencies.

The reason for this situation is very simple, because the Cold War is over, so many original projects have naturally been completely cancelled and funds have been invested in other areas.

Although various countries will try their best to retain the core team, considering cost issues, they will naturally lay off various peripheral personnel.

"Although they are peripheral personnel, the level of these people is not low." Hood pointed to a research institute on the screen and said, "Especially a large number of former Soviet personnel have very good levels."

This period was the worst time for the various member republics of the former Soviet Union, so under the operation of the Soviet Union and Dzerzhinsky, a large number of professionals in various fields were pulled into the organization.

In addition, those former Soviet technicians who were poached by the Western world were gradually marginalized and abandoned after being squeezed out of what they knew.

After all, it is difficult to integrate different systems, and the Western world only wants to destroy the Soviet Union and does not intend to do any charity work. Therefore, Massachusetts, Hood, and Richelieu naturally tried to get a large number of talents from the entire Western world.
