HP Parallel World

Chapter151 Thunder Ship and the Land of Dragons

Since all his talents are in the field of sports, it is inevitable that he will fully understand various things about Quidditch before entering school. Amir has read about broomsticks in books.

Why do you have the ability to fly?

Instead of giving ordinary raw materials the corresponding magic to give them the ability to fly in the sky, the raw materials used by wizards from the beginning are actually a very magical plant in the magical world.

Although it is uniformly called a flying tree, there are actually various varieties like fruits. This plant, which is born with magical power, is not able to levitate because it is less dense than air.

It's in the air entirely because of the magical power it possesses.

The thick and solid trunk can be processed into a broom handle, and the slender branches on the trunk can be trimmed and cut to become the tail of the broom. The flying tree, a plant that is born with the power to levitate in the sky,

In fact, they live on the ground.

As long as the environment of the place where you live is suitable, you will choose to stay and grow in one place for a long time. The Flying Tree will only encounter severe droughts, floods or insect disasters, which are very harsh conditions that are not conducive to its continued survival.

, would choose to leave the place where they originally took root late at night and find another suitable place to continue living.

The method of reproduction relies on seeds, and the seeds can also fly into the sky with the help of wind like dandelions. It is precisely because it has many different varieties that the flying tree has different magical powers. Therefore, it has become a

When manufacturing raw materials, they are priced at completely different prices.

Broomsticks made from the highest quality raw materials and the most exquisite manufacturing techniques can of course be sold at a very expensive price on the market. As for those with poor performance, they cannot be sold at much cheaper prices on the market.

Brooms basically use low-grade raw materials that some big manufacturers look down upon.

"So, when planting plants like flying trees, do you just want to use them as brooms? Do they have other different uses?" It feels like flying broomsticks are not a necessity that every family must equip.

, and it is not a consumable that can be used in a short period of time. When Amir faced several old brooms that Willett and the others brought out from the Room of Requirement, Amir actually went further and asked about the Flying Tree.

things.

"Of course this magical plant is not just used to make broomsticks. In fact, this plant can also be used to build ships."

"Shipbuilding? What kind of ship, cruiser, frigate?" I couldn't understand why this kind of tree with the power to fly in the sky was used to build ships after being cut down. Amir was very confused for a time. What is the power of flying?

What does it have to do with sailing on the sea?

"Who told you that ships must sail in rivers, lakes and seas? Why can't ships fly into the sky?" When we first discussed this topic, I brought out a large book.

Soon I opened the chapter about the Thunder Boat.

"Have you seen it? Generally speaking, a ship made from a Flying Tree does not go into the water at all. It actually flies in the sky."

According to the books in this parallel world, hundreds of years before the outbreak of the Industrial Revolution, ships made of huge trees like the flying tree had already appeared and been used by everyone.

In an era when there were no airplanes, no high-speed trains, and no safe and reliable ocean-going fleet, it was obvious that wizards who wanted to travel across continents could not rely on Muggle transportation.

The moving distance has exceeded the maximum range of Apparition, and the floo network is far from being popularized to that extent. Wizards wanted to run intercontinental long-distance travel in that era. In addition to a very small number of door key services,

Basically, you can only rely on flying broomsticks, magic carpets and the like, which takes a very long time and consumes a lot of energy, and rushes to your destination very clumsily.

Because the journey is too far away, they cannot even change their transportation to animals such as hippogriffs. Wizards simply cannot afford to raise such mounts. At the same time,

I also dare not imagine how much loss it would cause to me as the owner if my mount fell ill, was injured, or died unexpectedly during the journey.

Whether it was a steam locomotive like the Hogwarts Express or a car like a public bus, these magical means of transportation did not exist at all in that era. Therefore, in order to meet its own needs for long-distance navigation, the Thunder Ship was

Planting things will naturally come into being.

"Even though we have already arrived in modern times, this kind of transportation that has existed in the magical world for hundreds of years is still very dynamic and provides services to countless wizards every day. Of course, since a few of us have been here since we were born,

We have never left the UK, so we have never taken a ride or seen such a means of transport that provides intercontinental transportation services, which is why it seems so strange to us."

While giving this oral introduction to Amir, she found the largest picture of this kind of vehicle in the book. Violet must say that when she first learned about this parallel world,

I was really surprised when I found out that such magical means of transportation still existed.

From the appearance point of view, it is not much different from the European wooden sailboats I saw in movies in my previous life. The most fundamental reason why the Thunder Boat can float in the sky for a long time is because its manufacturing raw materials come from the flying tree.

Since this power to escape the gravity of the earth has been fully supplied by the raw materials for making the hull, the ship operator only needs to solve the problem of the ship's power source.

Although the manufacturing raw materials used are the same kind of trees, the principles of movement are different. When the thunder ship flies, it actually completely relies on lightning as the power source.

"Using electricity? Why is the wizarding world still dealing with electricity, an outcome of the industrial revolution? I originally thought that the energy used by the Muggle world actually had nothing to do with the wizarding world."

"No, no, no, the Thunder Boat is not a vehicle that stores electricity and then functions like various charged household appliances. The Thunder Boat does not have to worry about the rotation of energized conductors in the magnetic field. It actually

It directly stores the lightning itself and uses it as something similar to kinetic energy."

Unlike the Muggle world, which needs to complete the mutual conversion between different energies when storing electrical energy, the wizarding world does not use batteries at all to store electrical energy, but directly uses magic. You only need to prepare a special

The magic oak barrel can then directly store the captured electricity into this special barrel. When the person who stores the electricity wants to use the electricity, he only needs to open the cork on the barrel.

.

"There will be no waste of energy conversion in this step of storing electrical energy, and at the same time, it will not cause the store to run out if the barrel is not used for a long time. Leidong Ship needs to place the barrel filled with energy.

In the magic engine on the ship, the electrical energy exported from the barrel will be released directly out of the ship like plasma, thereby obtaining forward momentum with the help of the reaction force obtained by the objects ejected outward from the ship's hull.

."

"Will the sails and fishing nets on the ship be used when capturing electricity?" Because of the conversation between Willett and Amir, before going to school, he came to join them because of his interest.

During the conversation between the two, Vincent also learned more about this form of transportation through books at that time.

When lightning and thunder appear in the sky, the boat will take the initiative to approach these very dangerous cumulonimbus clouds. After this, the thunder boat will unfold all the sails and throw the fishing net out. Because suddenly

The increased area is bound to encounter lightning strikes when the hull is actually located at the high-altitude discharge point. The sails and fishing nets can actually direct the electricity they attract into the magic barrel through the devices on the ship.

of.

Since the entire hull and the people on board the ship are protected by special magic, it is absolutely impossible to be injured even in such extreme weather with lightning and thunder. Some people who obtain the electricity naturally generated in the sky rely exclusively on

This kind of work makes a living, constantly chasing the monsoon and cumulonimbus clouds, and then selling the harvested electricity to others. Some people use ships to complete the transportation business, and then accidentally encounter lightning.

When there is a thunderous weather phenomenon, people take the initiative to harvest a wave of electric energy.

"Compared to the latter type of people who complete the transportation of people and goods between various continents and oceans, the former type of people who rely exclusively on capturing electrical energy and then selling the proceeds of their labor are in the minority. After all, such

People basically depend on the weather, and their sailing route is different every day. Just like the sailors who went to sea in the Age of Discovery, there is no such thing as stability in life."

Because they need to chase the monsoon and clouds, they actually have a very thorough study of climate. The sailors who are engaged in the business of selling lightning usually deal with major ships and patronize some very important trading cities or

It's just a trading port.

"Wow, the world of magic is really wonderful!" Because Willett took out a large book, after reading the above content, he saw how the thunder ship moved with the help of the released electric energy.

, Wei Ni was really surprised at that time, lamenting that a ship using such a unique power source would not be noticed by Muggles as a discharge phenomenon in the sky due to its own navigation.

"After all, this is just a small-scale discharge, and the entire ship is camouflaged by magic. So, don't say that those Muggles on the ground can't see the thunder ship, even if the time has come long ago

In this era of airplanes flying all over the sky, it is impossible for thunder ships to be detected by military or civilian flying tools in the sky."

On weekdays, it does not run domestic routes, but is mainly responsible for intercontinental transportation and connecting those isolated islands on the ocean. The Leidong Ship also has a very comfortable living environment, even if everyone can only get on the surface after boarding the ship.

A small cubicle similar to a capsule hotel. In fact, because this small room has been processed by magic, it can be a very spacious and comfortable single or double room.

When she was young, she did not have the ability to go abroad, and at the same time, there was no need to go abroad. The reason why Violet planned to take the Thunder Boat during her first summer vacation after enrolling in school was actually because she had

Because of the demand and necessity of going abroad. The destination of this trip is the small island located on the ocean - the Land of the Dragon.

Located in the low latitudes of the Atlantic Ocean, with beautiful and charming tropical scenery, Dragon Country is actually composed of several small islands in specific sea areas, as well as shoals and coral reefs surrounding the small islands.

In the Muggle world, it does not belong to any country at all, and it is not even plotted on the Muggle map. This place has been cast with a Muggle shielding spell, so it is not known to non-magical society at all.

, its existence is actually much longer than the history of Hogwarts.

Due to its unique natural environment, it has become a paradise for dragons before the establishment of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Every summer, the Land of Dragons welcomes countless people who come to this place to breed themselves.

Descendants of dragons.

Most of them are herbivorous, and a few are carnivorous, which prey on birds, fish, and other aquatic animals. Most of these dragons who come to the Dragon Land for the purpose of reproducing their offspring have the ability to fly, and some are simply impossible to find.

It does not have wings, so it cannot fly in the sky, but can only swim in the ocean.

It also does not belong to any country in the magical world, but is jointly managed by the Ministry of Magic of many countries. As a place somewhat similar to a nature reserve, the Dragon Country welcomes a large number of wizards every year, but it is

On the issue of maintaining the local ecological environment, we have always done a very good job.

"A few years ago, you and Vincent were both too young, and although you were extremely talented in potions and herbalism, you still lacked the experience of actually performing magic. But, it's different now.

Now, you two are no longer the children you were a few years ago, and you have already done enough magic practice and confrontation in school, so I think you two can serve as my assistants this summer, and

I’m going to the Land of Dragons together.”

As a big shot of the Extraordinary Potion Federation, what Yang Sen needs to deal with on a daily basis is of course not just the cheap raw materials for making ordinary potions. At the same time, there are many other plantations of the Extraordinary Potion Federation.

Raw materials that are impossible to produce. Among all these raw materials, the dragon, especially its nails, scales, blood and other things, are always essential and indispensable. Therefore, since private breeding cages are illegal

Therefore, the Extraordinary Pharmacy Federation naturally needs to visit the Dragon Country every year.

"Although it is a breeding ground for hundreds of different varieties of dragons, there are actually countless magical animals living there and countless precious plants. Therefore, when the Extraordinary Pharmacy Federation visits the Dragon Country, it has always been

Not just for dragons, but in fact for everything else, raw materials for making potions that our cultivation principles cannot directly produce."

Every year I hope to get something, so I come to the Dragon Country, but the same people are not assigned to perform such tasks every year. The Extraordinary Pharmacy Federation actually treats this serious job as

It has been given to many different people.

Since he personally prefers Dragon Country, he is very willing to take advantage of this opportunity to travel here while he is busy with work. After Yang Sen accepted Willett as his student, he has actually been to Dragon Country several times.

.

"It's not just a task arranged by the Federation General Manager. After we go to the hometown of Guanglong, we actually need to deal with many other people there and make deals. Do you understand?" It has already been done in the past few years.

Willett and Vincent had begged them to go to the Land of Dragons to have a look, but they had not agreed to their request because they believed that they were not capable enough. The reason why Yang Sen was able to allow this summer

The two of them walked with him, in fact, it was because Willett and Vincent passed the magic practical tasks he set, thereby proving their abilities.

"We will definitely live up to the teacher's expectations." When she first learned about the Dragon Country from a book, she was attracted by the vivid pictures. Violet really felt that it was located on the Atlantic Ocean.

These small islands are simply holiday paradises.

With the largest island as the center, there are several smaller islands like satellites dotted around it. When viewed from mid-air, the central island owned by Dragon Country looks very much like a hook-like moon. And the moon

The missing part is just the bay filled with blue water.

From mid-air, it looks like a crescent moon. Standing on the sea level of the bay, you are facing mountains with a high center and low sides. Visitors can see the milky white color mixed with a little bit on the central island.

The lemon-yellow sandy beach and the geysers ejecting from the stone slabs have a very pleasant temperature.

The mountains and plains are covered with lush green plants, and the colorful flowers are blooming. At the same time, the island is also home to a wide variety of eye-opening magical creatures. Such an island can provide visitors with many original and delicious foods.

, and at the same time, it can also provide many economic crops.

"Because the area of ​​several islands is limited, they must be used by the dragons who come here to reproduce their offspring. Therefore, those of us who visit the Land of Dragons can only live on the sea?" After entering the school for the third time.

Before the school year ends, history has already determined where they will go during their first summer vacation after entering school. Willett fully understands what they will face next.

Since the entire Dragon Country area has been protected by magic, it is absolutely impossible to encounter problems such as strong winds, huge waves or tsunamis within this protection circle. Visitors can completely stay in a relatively stable environment.

On the water, residences are built like the water city of Venice.

Using magic to build this kind of temporary house does not even need to consider the foundation problem at all. The house is like a ship floating on the water. Firstly, it is impossible to drift outside the magic protection circle, and secondly, it is impossible to be blown away by strong winds.

Huge waves rolled over.

Considering that many aquatic plants and coral reefs in the area need sunlight, they will actually move very regularly due to the light, just like sunflowers. These houses are like the hands of a clock, day and night, and are always moving.

Make regular circular motions.

Since it is located on the Atlantic Ocean, one side is not close to Europe and Africa, and the other side is not close to South America and North America. Therefore, if you want to visit this area in the most comfortable way, you also need to carry a large amount of luggage during the round trip.

luggage, then the visitor must choose to take the Thunder Boat.

Since the entire area is protected by magic, just like Hogwarts, people are not allowed to phantom or apparate. Therefore, there is no way to reach the destination in this way. Visitors can even ride a broomstick or a hippogriff.

If you come on a mount like a winged beast, don't expect to set foot on the land of Dragon Land so easily.

Once every morning and evening, you can receive a limited number of door keys. If you want to visit the Dragon Country in this way, you must queue up and register in advance. Then slowly wait for your turn.

"Sure enough, the nature reserve is very strictly managed?" In his previous life, he had not complied with such regulations when visiting some famous scenic spots with limited environmental carrying capacity. Faced with such conditions, Willett could only

It feels like it's a piece of cake and there's nothing to worry about.

Moreover, it was not just him and Vincent, it was just the two of them. There were actually many people they knew who took the boat to the Land of the Dragon with them.
