Arkhipovna's laboratory is located in a room on the right side of the hall.

She is one of the few scholars in the entire urban research area of the college to have a separate research room, not only because she is a well-known "female madwoman" at Landau, but also because of the importance of the subject in her hands.

The room is clearly divided into two parts, as if the handmade parts workshop and the study are combined.

"It may be a little small, just a little bit, I didn't reserve too many assistants at the beginning......

Arkhipovna scratched at her hair in some distress and glanced at the bald young wizard who had followed her into the room.

"If you have any questions, I'd suggest you do it all at once – we're all adults, so we don't have the same illogic as children. On the other hand, I don't have much patience to repeat the basic theories of popular science. ”

"When you were in the hall just now, you said your goal was to restore Muggle electronics at Hogwarts?"

Quirinus Quirrell looked around the room, shook his head, and said calmly.

"I'm sorry, this lady—it's impossible, but if you've had the chance to read Hogwarts, a history of the school, a pastime about Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, you'll know very well that the magical substitutes you Muggles use—electricity, computers, radar, all of that, no matter how great and complicated—will malfunction as soon as you get around Hogwarts, where the magical magnetic field in the air is too strong. ”

"I don't mean to offend or despise science, it's just that this is the wizarding world......"

Quirrell said calmly, gesturing to the pile of scrapped electronics piled up in the corner.

"Obviously, at least within Hogwarts, anything that is forbidden or excluded by magic can never be solved by any other means than magic - these are the rules of magic, two very different worlds. ”

"Two, very different worlds? what a nasty arrogant foolishness—"

Arkhipovna raised her eyebrows, and casually pulled a blank piece of manuscript paper from the table and tore it to shreds.

Before Quirinus Quirrell could respond, she lifted her white coat and pulled a stabbing hardwood wand from the outside of her thigh, rubbing it on her long, wavy light red hair a few times and laying it flat on top of the pile of confetti.

The next moment, the confetti that had been lying quietly on the table sucked up one by one as if attracted by magic.

"Because the nuclei of different objects have different abilities to bind electrons outside the nucleus, when two objects rub against each other, one of them must lose some electrons, and the other object gains excess electrons - the frictiond charged object has the property of attracting small and light objects, and in the process of charge transfer, this is the simplest 'electric' phenomenon. ”

Arkhipovna fiddled with the stick in her hand a little boredly, and looked at Quirrell with a smirk.

"Mr. Wizard, it seems that Hogwarts' magic has not erased the phenomenon of 'electricity' from this world, and in fact it is impossible to think about it, right? ”

Hogwarts is unable to use electronic devices, as things that are charged are bound to malfunction in this area.

This sentence is a very ridiculous and imprecise statement.

Even the narrow concept of charge transfer and electric current as the definition of "electricity" is too reluctant, after all, the human body itself is an active "electric" life, not to mention those slightly broader electrical phenomena

"By the way, you just said that the magical magnetic field in the sky of Hogwarts is too strong—"

Arkhipovna raised her finger and tapped it, repeating it softly, glancing meaningfully at Quirrell.

"So, this passage that appeared in Hogwarts, A History of the School, at least after the nineteenth century, was revised and added - 'magnetic field', or 'field', this definition was proposed by your native scientist Faraday, and developed by Mr. Maxwell......"

"So?" Quirrell asked with interest.

As a former professor of Muggle studies, Quirinus Quirrell was not less receptive to Muggles, and with the foreign woman's explanation, he quickly realized that this "new mission" had long passed the theoretical construction period.

Obviously, the world had changed a lot during the half year he hadn't been at Hogwarts.

"Professor Dumbledore has said that Hogwarts' 'electromagnetic shielding' ...... Hmm, let's just describe it like that...... It was confirmed more than a hundred years ago – and since it doesn't seem to be a defensive measure that can be switched on and off, we are more inclined to think of it as a 'semi-natural' magnetic field formed in a particular geographical environment – and perhaps with some 'magic' factor. ”

Arkhipovna straightened up, walked to the moving blackboard on the side of the room, and pointed to the graphic text on it.

On one of the blackboards, a crude drawing of a castle is drawn outward, with dense and intersecting curves drawn outwards around the castle, which look like ripples caused by stones thrown into the lake.

"It's unlike anything I've ever seen before, you know, it's incredible......"

Arkhipovna's eyes flashed with an extremely bright look, and she said quickly.

"The magical magnetic field that lingers in Hogwarts is as if it has a certain sense of self and will attack it in a targeted manner...... Oh no, or rather, touching an anomalous magnetic field that enters its range - in our guess, there may be a special form of electric current in addition to alternating current and direct current. ”

"It's like the magnetic field of an encrypted channel, which automatically searches for and connects to all non-self electromagnetic fields. ”

Quirinus Quirrell noticed that once he talked about electromagnetic fields and electrons, the Russian woman who had previously looked lazy and sexy seemed to be a different person, exuding a dazzling aura like flames all over her body.

"In other words, there are actually two channels of magnetic field reactions at the same moment – reflections like radar, and directional amplification of magnetic fields based on what our technology cannot understand and reproduce, and because the electronic devices we make cannot properly respond to the identification code, that is, the 'magic' signal, they are crushed by the ever-increasing 'interrogation sound'. ”

Arkhipovna moved rapidly from blackboard to blackboard, her long, pale red wavy hair like a dancing flame.

Several plates of books filled with Russian, numbers, and intricate patterns unfolded in front of Quirinus Quirrell's eyes, and the original rough and simple Hogwarts graphics gradually became three-dimensional, and even the surrounding terrain gradually became more detailed.

If you look closely, everything is filled with dense numbers and formulas.

"It's not some magic that resists science, and it's not some wall between two worlds—"

Arkhipovna opened her arms and looked at the small steps that took more than half a year.

This is the final result of gathering the top scholars of half of human civilization, constantly trying, discussing, and calculating, and the moment the answer came out, both wizards and Muggles realized that the world should have changed.

"So, do you understand now?"

Arkhipovna turned her head to look at Quirrell and whispered with a complicated expression.

"More than a hundred years ago, and even earlier, the wizarding world, or the will of Hogwarts itself, was sending signals to her surroundings to explore and connect with what was coming into her realm, and to give feedback. So, what we're doing isn't cracking any magic protection, it's reading it and proactively sending a signal to her. ”

"Wait, that's a little complicated—"

Quirinus Quirrell rubbed his brow with a bit of a headache, trying to digest the information he had just learned.

Is the magical magnetic field around Hogwarts alive?

The electronic devices that had been malfunctioning were not deliberately destroyed, but because they had been unable to respond like wizards or other magical props, so they were damaged by the increasing frequency of the magical magnetic field?

As a professor of Muggle Studies at Hogwarts, Quirinus Quirrell felt like his lesson plan was being torn apart.

"However, I still have a question......"

Quirinus Quirrell thought about it for a moment, and was ready to go back to the basics and reorganize them one by one.

"Even if everything is as you say, Hogwarts' magical magnetic field has a mysterious vitality, what does that mean? I mean, you can't even perceive the so-called "signal", and that's ......"

"Oh, yes. You're right, it's a real headache, Professor Quirrell. ”

At that moment, a voice suddenly sounded behind Quirinus Quirrell.

"Due to the inability to find a "source point" that can respond correctly, and the lack of comparative test references, our research progress has been stuck in this place for a long time. It's good that you showed up at this time, and it's a win-win, isn't it?"

He jerked around, only to see a little silver-haired witch appear in the room at some point.

The girl looked at the manuscript paper on the blackboard, carefully placed a small black suitcase on the empty table in the middle of the room, turned to look at Arkhipovna, and said with a smile.

"Ms. Arkhipovna, this is the resource you applied for earlier...... I've managed to get a replacement for you. ”

"Replacement?"

Arkhipovna repeated with some confusion.

There seemed to be some animal hidden in the little black suitcase, which was shaking from time to time, and she could even faintly hear the creaking sound of a platypus and a little like a mouse.

"Oh, didn't you say you want to apply for a batch of hamster generators and test the conversion of power potential energy and electrical energy......"

Elena smiled and nodded, opened the suitcase, and took out the glittering golden cage from inside.

This is a roller that is a bit larger than the usual "hamster power wheel".

On the outer ring of each floor hangs a glittering, outward-flowing gold gallon, like a miniature version of the golden Ferris wheel, and in the middle of the "Ferris wheel" is a fluffy black guy with a long nose and flat front paws, like a shovel, very strange and cute.

"It's Sniff, a magical creature that likes shiny things, and is much stronger than a hamster—"

As the suitcase opened, the little creature trapped in the "Sniffing Power Wheel" suddenly lit up, and ran up the cage with a clatter, trying to chase the beautiful gold coin that seemed to be within reach in front of it.

Elena glanced at Arkhipovna, whose eyes were a little glowing, and added.

"You'd better not let it out, though, or Mr. Newt Scamander will come to me for trouble if he finds out—and the equipment in the lab will probably be stolen by it before it does. ”

"Huh, it destroys and steals the metal equipment in the lab?"

Arkhipovna looked curiously at the furry sniff and nodded earnestly.

"From the outside, it's an omnivorous species like hamsters, right? Keeping and observing should be the responsibility of the guys in agriculture and the biology group...... So, this is a resource offer for a combined topic?"

"Well, that's roughly how I understand it, but I'll put it on your side to provide labor for the time being during the day. ”

Elena took out a piece of cardboard from her chest, handed it to Arkhipovna, and said casually.

"Sign for it, this is one of the assets of Gringotts Wizarding Bank, and if you accidentally break it, or plan to conduct some irreparable experiment, you still need to apply and report it - it's better not to do so. ”

"I understand, I understand—"

Arkhipovna rubbed her hands excitedly and quickly agreed.

Just like in the previous research institute,The resource application in the school city is not unlimited.,Some intersecting project teams will share a set of resources.,And as a claimant of resources,Naturally, you can get a little more exchange privately.。

This can be regarded as an invisible welfare, Arkhipovna and her researchers in the Department of Physics and Mathematics have long been coveted by the projects of "publicly-funded pig raising" and "publicly-funded fish raising" next door, even if in the magical world, the accidental mortality rate of those magical creatures is not so high for the time being, but they still have a lot of opportunities in food and medicinal use.

And with such a magical creature resource, she can at least ask the project team next door for more than half a rabbit leg every week.

Taking advantage of the gap between Arkhipovna's signing and assembling the "Sniffing Power Wheel", Quirinus Quirrell, who was waiting next to him for the time being, finally found an opportunity to interject and asked with some curiosity.

"Well, well, Miss Kaslana. ”

Quirrell did as Lockhart had told him last night, crouching down slightly, and said softly as he considered his words.

"I don't quite understand why my presence is pushing ...... Forehead...... What kind of magical magnetic field research is this, and what do you mean by the win-win situation you just talked about? You know my situation! I ......."

"You can still see ghosts and enter Hogwarts Castle, right?"

Looking at Quirrell, who was somewhat humble and unconfident, Elena sighed helplessly.

"This means that even if you lose your magical powers, you are still a wizard - the magnetic field that haunts Hogwarts will distinguish between living and inanimate electromagnetic fields, and those things with magical elements will unconsciously interact with the land in some form - similar to how a young wizard opens an envelope when he first enters school. ”

"Well, why not some other wizard, or a squib, I'm sure you ......"

"You remember how you cast your magic, don't you?"

Elena's index finger cocked up, and a flash of white light flashed across her fingertips.

"In Hogwarts' realm, wizards will have a slight increase in the success rate of their magic, and since each of us is like a river, we can't accurately isolate the seeping groundwater somewhere in the riverbed - but you're different. ”

"Professor Lockhart, your 'river' has dried up for the time being, your body is as dry as the 'riverbed' that has been exposed to the sun for months until we figure out what is wrong, and when you return to Hogwarts, there will be a little drop of water creeping out when you try to cast magic or generate magical wills......"

Elena took a deep look at Quirrell, who was gradually becoming a little abrupt, and said softly with a smile.

"All you have to do now is find that place - either plug it up and make it build up enough power to break through the rock formations, or knock it open and turn the droplets into streams and try to make it transmit more mana. ”

"In non-magical terms, I wish you could activate the web and update the network protocol. ”

"In this way, not only can we solve the feasibility of magic energy conversion and the stability of magic energy output, but you can also regain spellcasting ability, and even help more wizards to connect to the 'network', greatly improving our computing speed - as Professor Dumbledore used to say, no matter what house you come from, Hogwarts keeps everyone connected......"

"And then ......"

Elena's gaze was not far away, and Arkhipovna was still fiddling with the "sniffing power wheel", and he stopped for a few seconds.

Magic Base Station ...... for Globalization Signal amplification points...... Mobile Hotspot ......

These are not completely impossible, after all, the first leap has been made at the scientific level in the next few decades, and there is no reason why more unreasonable magic cannot do this.
