That said, since you're at Hogwarts, it means you're pretty much some of the smartest people in non-magical human civilization today, so I have to put a few things at the top......"

Douglas turned and walked slowly onto the podium, and only then did people notice what appeared to be steps behind the wooden latorium.

"The peace between the non-magical world and the magical world has lasted for thousands of years, and this wonderful balance is partly due to the restraint and secrecy of the magical world, and on the other hand, it is also due to the mystery of magic itself, and if you are clever and foolish enough to venture into certain forbidden realms, then the tragic death is only the lowest consequence......"

The middle-aged goblin paused for a few seconds, his eyes wandering through the crowd for a moment, and finally landed in the crowd in front of him on the left.

Compared to the other small groups of scholars in the hall, this group of people from the former Soviet Union looked very recognizable, except for a few women such as Natasha and Arkhipovna, most of the men had a reflection of wisdom on their heads.

"I think many of you here have not forgotten this, such as the explosion five years ago......"

A dangerous glint flashed in Douglas's eyes, and he whispered meaningfully.

"And in the wizarding world, there are a hundred times worse than a nuclear leak, definitely more than you think. ”

Hearing this, Arkhipovna, Natasha and the others subconsciously turned their heads and glanced at the old man who was surrounded by other former Soviet physicists and mathematicians, Vinogradov, one of the core researchers of the Soviet nuclear program.

And the most important thing is that after the Chernobyl explosion, he was also responsible for calculating the subsequent impact parameters.

"Needless to say, as the best scholars in the non-magical human world, I believe that all of you here have an amazing talent for complex mathematical formulas, the inquiry into the truths of the world, and all kinds of scientific fields, but that does not mean that you can apply these experiences directly to the mysterious world of magic. ”

Douglas continued, his dark, slanted, and frighteningly bright eyes slowly sweeping over the face that had grown solemnly in the hall, his voice softer, and a sneer on his lips.

"This is a new and ever-present world, where the 'sights', 'hearing', 'smell', 'touch', 'taste', 'intuition' that you depend on for your survival will not be difficult to be reliable. That's right, Mr. Vinogradov. ”

It suddenly changed its words and looked nonchalantly at the old man who was huddled in the crowd.

"I heard you turned down an invitation to Hogwarts because the wizarding world is so bad at math?"

"I didn't say that," Vinogradov said with a gentle smile, raising an eyebrow, "but it seems to me that if it were only to teach the children mathematics to them, even Alexey's ability would be too much. Rather than teaching children to read and write numbers in the classroom, I think it would be more meaningful to write and write in the laboratory. ”

The old man raised his head calmly, his waist slowly straightened, and said without humility or arrogance.

"Or is there any order 'she' wants to convey?"

As one of the leading figures in the field of mathematics in the former Soviet Union, Vinogradov did not care about the power of these wizards.

In his opinion, the wands of wizards were not too different from the guns of the secret police, and if it weren't for the potato aid that he couldn't refuse, and the guarantee of an old shipyard guy three times and twice, he wouldn't have come to this place.

For Vinogradov, it was just a matter of continuing his research in a different place.

"It's a pity—if I were you, I wouldn't be so sure, sir. ”

Douglas shook his head meaningfully, the light of the fire shining in its bright dark eyes.

The contempt of the elderly for the latecomers is the same for both the long-born and the short-born.

Unlike these Muggles, who were confined to one realm, the Gringotts Wizarding Bank, and indeed all the elves, had now fully appreciated the wisdom of Her Majesty, and they had paid a very heavy price for understanding it.

Compared to the arrogance of humans, the arrogance of the elves is simply not worth mentioning.

Even now in the same camp, Douglas did not see his obligation to remind the old man of what an important opportunity he had missed, and that the question was just a little curiosity on his part.

After all...... The mathematics of the wizarding world is not limited to human wizards.

Without continuing the topic, Douglas cleared his throat and continued calmly:

"For the rest of the day, I'm going to give you some basic knowledge about the wizarding world. This includes the social structure, the main organizations, and of course, the most basic guidelines for daily life, such as how to calculate money, the use and purchase of daily necessities, the precautions for daily eating, and the scope of your activities and schedules. ”

"By the way, there is only one formal bank in the wizarding world, the Gringotts Wizarding Bank. ”

Douglas suddenly grinned and nodded with a smile at a man on the other side of the auditorium, "This means that all the bribery, scientific research corruption, empty academic traps, and the market economy are meaningless to us-"

In the social climate of the former Soviet Union, it was difficult for pure academics to survive, but understanding bad habits does not mean conniving.

At least in Hogwarts City, Douglas didn't want Her Majesty the Queen to spend extra energy dealing with such trivial matters, and the best way to eliminate corruption was to make money less attractive.

And at this point, they are quite experienced since last winter.

Andrei Mendanlov squirmed nervously in his chair, relieved to find that no one around him was looking at him, as a remnant of the biological community in the former Soviet Union, some concepts and ways of life still need time to change.

If you don't want to be branded as a "class enemy" by the scholars of the Lysenko faction who hinder the development of the Soviet Union because they support and study "genetics", then it is undoubtedly the safest way to use money to escort and probe the wind - it is not faith that is needed to stick to the truth, and there is only one way to protect some of the remaining seeds of science in that dark period.

Fortunately, the other party promised that as long as he cooperated with the research in the future, he would not expose some of his previous black history.
