The Admiral of Hogwarts

"Besides that, we've also set a magical explosive on this weaponized disc."

After introducing the crossbow bolts within the disc, Soviet opened the box at the disc's core.

"The explosive effect is equivalent to an RGD-5 hand grenade.

Because the grenade casing is mixed with a small amount of magical metal and soaked in magical potion, it disrupts the magic defense of magical creatures and wizards themselves."

"In other words, considering the cost, the magic contained in this thing is minimal.

After neutralizing the target's magic, it's likely that only a small amount of kinetic energy will remain to cause physical damage to the enemy."

"Specifically, how much is this small amount of kinetic energy?"

Hugo immediately asked after hearing Soviet's explanation, because his standards differed from those of the ship girls in this regard.

"Equivalent to an arrow fired from a 200-pound pocket crossbow, nothing more."

Speaking of this, Soviet seemed somewhat dissatisfied.

Because this level of pocket crossbow is only suitable for close-range assassination at best.

"In other words, it will only be effective with a close-range explosion."

Enterprise also shook her head.

"For wizards, this kind of damage is simply too small."

"This is enough.

Even if wizards have various magical potions and spells that can easily heal this kind of physical damage, being hit by this during a fight is not something a normal person can withstand."

After hearing the ship girl's words, Hugo immediately stated that the power of this magic bomb was just right and didn't need to be increased further.

After all, this thing is just an auxiliary weapon, and it's enough if it can be mass-produced cheaply and cause a certain degree of harassment to the enemy.

After inspecting the small sculptures, Hugo continued his tour.

Inside the underground base, apart from the humanoid and canine sculptures that occupied the majority, the remaining sculptures were produced in small quantities, but each had its own characteristics.

For example, giant statues that looked like giants, or some special-purpose statues that could fly or move in water.

However, according to Soviet's explanation, after testing, they realized that these special statues were more suitable when made in the traditional way, otherwise the cost-effectiveness would be too low.

After visiting these statues, Hugo arrived at the last stop of his trip, an alchemy workshop located at the bottom of the large pit under heavy protection.

"The projects we are currently researching are temporarily based on semi-finished projects left by a few Wizengamot members back then."

Enterprise took over the explanation at this time and said, "Because these projects are relatively easy to research, they can be used for practice."

"That's right, research does require gradual progress."

Hugo nodded and then looked at the boxes around him and asked, "Have you made any progress in your research during this time?"

"We have successfully created a wand sheath that corresponds to the wand."

Soviet said, taking a box from the shelf, placing it on the table, and opening it.

Inside the box were two rings, one large and one small.

The large ring was just an ordinary ring, and next to it was a silver ring that could barely fit on the tip of a little finger.

"What is this for?"

Hugo picked up the silver ring in the box with some confusion.

Compared to the self-explanatory plain silver ring, he didn't quite understand what the silver ring next to it was for.

"This is something that allows the wand to return after it leaves the hand."

Soviet took out the contents and said, "When using it, wear the plain silver ring on your body, and the silver ring is fastened on the wand."

Soon, Hugo installed this set of equipment on his wand and tried it out.

The result was that the whole set was very easy to use.

No matter where he threw the wand, as long as he waved his hand, the wand would return to the hand with the ring on it.

For wizards, this is a very meaningful magical tool.

Because most of the wizard's abilities are concentrated on their wand, if they don't have a wand, they are not much stronger than ordinary people.

"This kind of thing will be on the market for Christmas."

Seeing Hugo nod in satisfaction, Soviet introduced from the side.

"I suggest that you, Comrade Commander, can take a batch as gifts for everyone."

"This is indeed a good gift."

After a brief inquiry, he learned that the cost of this thing was less than 1 Galleon, but the selling price was 2 Galleons and 7 Sickles.

Hugo decided that this would be the gift for most of his friends this year.

In addition to this wand auxiliary tool, Soviet and the others have also successfully researched a magic-accumulating javelin.

When held in the hand and charged for two seconds before launch, each strike is equivalent to a fully launched Stupefy spell from an Auror.

However, in order to avoid magical interference between different magical forces, the javelin only has alchemical structures related to explosions, and throwing it requires a purely physical method.

"This thing was originally used by goblins for giants.

After all, a race that can launch multiple rebellions and not be completely exterminated, but instead control the wizarding world's financial industry, will always have some trump cards up their sleeves."

Soviet said, taking a javelin named Thunder from the cabinet, and then explained to Hugo about this weapon that was carelessly stuffed in the corner by the Wizengamot back then.

"But this thing is very useful to us, and can be used to equip various puppets and ourselves.

Especially when attacking targets behind cover, this weapon can make up for the shortcomings of most offensive spells."

The wand recall device and the magic-accumulating javelin are two items that the ship girls have restored from that pile of old papers during this period.

Recently, after gaining new knowledge one after another, everyone had to suspend this work and focus their attention on learning new knowledge, so this work has also stalled.

"We have basically categorized and sorted out the newly acquired knowledge recently, so next we can continue this restoration work and use our newly acquired knowledge."

Soviet introduced while visiting a series of semi-finished products in the back.

"If there are no accidents, by this summer, our production in this area will enter a boom.

And this will just be in time for the Quidditch World Cup."

"If that's the case, that would be great - by the way, speaking of the World Cup, does any national team use our Sky Scythe 3 broom?"

Hugo asked, looking at Soviet.

"Only five or six teams temporarily, and they are basically rookies.

For example, the Chinese Quidditch team, which was only formed in recent years, and the Irish Quidditch team, which is considered this year's dark horse."

"The Irish Quidditch team? That's good."

Thinking of this championship team in the original text, Hugo nodded with satisfaction.

After all, the World Cup qualifiers have already begun, and the Irish team is considered by many to be this year's dark horse.

After finishing the tour, they came to the office and recreation area located in the center of the base.

Because this base is only open to Hugo and his ship girls, there is plenty of space.

For example, this core office area not only has common offices, cafeterias, and rest areas, but also has game rooms, stadiums, and even swimming pools.

After everyone sat down together in the office, they began to talk about other things.

For example, the situation here after the end of the war.

"Kirov and Stalingrad now control the magic world and the ordinary human world of this emerging country respectively, and this country will become an important cornerstone for us in this world in the future."

After everyone was seated, Split immediately turned on the projector and reported.
