The Admiral of Hogwarts

The success of the warp drive can be said to be an epitome of the four years of hard work since the ship girls came to this world. Although the entire space program has been launched for less than a year, it is an epitome of the ship girls' busy work in the past few years.

After all, the space program is not something that can be done by one or two people on a whim, but requires a lot of industrial foundation and technology to accumulate in this area.

Although the ship girls are far superior to humans in many places, the accumulation of industrial knowledge can only be accumulated bit by bit, and it is impossible to achieve it overnight.

In the past few years, the ship girls have obviously spent a lot of time and energy on various basic research and infrastructure preparations, so they can still reach the current level in a short time after the plan starts.

It is precisely because of these materials prepared from the earth that the ship girls can quickly build several space stations, and use these space stations as stepping stones to go to the moon and Mars to extract resources for the next step of development.

"What is the principle of this thing?" At this moment, Hermione walked to the front of the engine and looked at the behemoth in front of her with a curious expression.

As a ship girl, she had previously allocated a lot of computing power like other ship girls to help with the overall design and calculation of the engine, but she did not know the principle of this thing.

"Actually, it is very close to the principle of Apparition for wizards." After greeting the two ship girls who were working over there, Hood walked over and explained to Hugo and the others.

According to Hood, the most powerful part of this engine is that it can directly extract energy from the nuclear fusion reactor and convert it into magic power, and then use magic power to create a micro black hole.

Because of their low mass, Hawking radiation gives them a lifespan of about one nanosecond before they evaporate into useless heat, and the spaceship will take advantage of this brief moment to quickly pass through high-dimensional space for a space jump.

In addition to opening black holes, this engine can also generate a special magical defense energy field to prevent the spaceship and the people in the spaceship from being exposed to high-dimensional space.

"This world is too friendly to magic and magic power." After a brief introduction to the principle of the engine, Hood said with emotion.

"If conventional technology is used, then we will need to draw energy from the engine and stimulate a quantum field to protect our spaceship, which will require a lot of calculations to ensure safety."

"But if magic power is used, the difficulty of operating the entire energy is greatly reduced. In this way, we can save a lot of costs for manufacturing high-performance computers."

"Actually, compared to the spaceship's space jump, the real difficulty is how to convert the energy generated by nuclear fusion into magic power." Speaking of this, Hood looked at the engine in front of him with emotion.

"Fortunately, whether it is the sun-like energy generated by nuclear fusion or the lightning-like energy of electric current, it can be stimulated by magic power, so it is feasible to convert these energies back into magic power from the perspective of magic theory."

"This shouldn't be a simple matter." After hearing Hood say this, Hugo immediately said softly. Because if this thing were simple, then those magic props would not need to consume gems or store magic power, just charge them.

"Yes, it is indeed not simple. At least compared to magic power, whether it is the power of the sun or the power of electric current, they are all lower-level powers." Hood nodded and said.

"From the perspective of traditional magic knowledge, it is a very simple thing to convert energy from upper-level energy to lower-level energy, but it is very difficult to reverse it."

"According to the information we have previously inquired, since the Industrial Revolution, there have been more than one or two people in the wizarding world who have considered this matter, but they have all failed."

"But we are very lucky, because we have obtained the unique earth core furnace manufacturing method of goblins from Grindelwald's secret treasure before this. And there is a path for the conversion of lower-level energy to upper-level energy in this."

"I remember that the goblins' furnaces are mainly used to melt and refine the materials used by the goblins. There should not be many parts that can be used for magic power injection, right?" After hearing this, Hugo suddenly asked.

"Yes, this is why we have been busy for this period of time. Because the goblin's technology only opened up a correct direction for us, and a lot of research is needed to produce a real product." Hood nodded and said.

"It's no wonder that no wizards have ever achieved any commendable results in this area, because we have found that many of the magic required for this area of production cannot be mastered and used by wizards at all."

"I see." After hearing Hood say this, Hugo and Hermione understood why so many great wizards had not created things that the ship girls had created.

Because wizards often ignore the magical abilities of other creatures, and it is even more impossible to combine the power of other creatures to make something.

In addition to this subjective problem, wizards, goblins, centaurs and other creatures have their own casting characteristics, so naturally there is no race that can handle this aspect of things alone.

And after these subjective and objective factors are combined, it has led to the fact that in the long years, except for a few people who have some fantasies in this area and made some unsuccessful attempts, no one has made a decisive breakthrough in this area.

Only creatures of the fantasy species like ship girls can break through those shackles, integrate a series of forces together and make unprecedented progress in this area.

Of course, there are also the great advances in technology made by Hugo and the ship girls. Because the amount of energy required when lower-level energy is converted into upper-level energy is very huge in terms of quantity.

Therefore, the idea that Hugo had before of casting spells with a mobile phone battery is basically impossible. Only huge energy sources such as controlled nuclear fusion can reach the minimum value of conversion to magic power.

The space engine in the warehouse now was just produced at the lunar base and transported here, ready to be installed on several spaceships that were previously put into operation.

According to Hood, this engine is more stable than the engine currently being prepared for the first round of testing, and can save more energy at the same time.

"Although we can determine the general direction, some details still need to be adjusted." Hood said to Hugo with a regretful expression. "So we can only use this simple method for large-scale sampling experiments now."

"However, these things have actually been determined to be safe in previous tests, so it is just right to use this short-distance space jump between the earth and Mars to collect data."

"You did the right thing." Hugo said very seriously after hearing this. "After all, we are now doing something that no predecessors have ever done, so caution is very important to us, and it doesn't matter if we spend more on this aspect."

"Don't worry, we won't relax in this area." Hood shrugged and said. "After all, this thing will face ordinary people in the future. If something really happens, we can't afford the price."
