Hogwarts and the Atypical Wizard

Chapter 358: The Prototype of Sai's Space Base

The space cabinet was ready long ago and met the original design requirements. It was larger than the one-mile cube that the Room of Requirement could provide, with a height of 580 meters and a square base with a side length of 2000 meters.

He had already made plans to evacuate the Room of Requirement, and during the holidays, he did a lot of moving supplies around.

Not anything else, but the soil.

Neither animals nor plants can live on metal floors.

In fact, the space cabinet needs not only soil, but also air.

As for air, it is easy to say. When he was expanding the space cabinet, the air infusion was completed simultaneously. When the door of the space cabinet is open, the pressure difference between the inside and the outside will automatically complete this process.

The soil will not run in on its own.

This is no small project.

Taking into account the living habits of some animals, he decided to round it up and fill the space cabinet with 80 meters of soil, which is 3 million cubic meters of soil. If there is no magic, haha...

The volume of the soil after it is dug out is different from its volume when it is compacted, which makes the project even more massive.

If you want to compact the soil, depositing it with water is a good way.

First, put the soil into the space cabinet, and then dig a large pit with a side length of 400 meters in a corner.

He took out some earth from it and scattered it to make hills and mountains.

All that remains is to make it rain.

Sprinkle enough water, about 8 to 1 million cubic meters of water, slowly and evenly on all the soil, allowing the soil to settle into solid land under the action of water.

The water that seeps into the soil will eventually gather at the bottom of the space cabinet under the influence of its own gravity. Then, due to the fluidity of the water, a lake with a depth of about 20 to 30 meters will form in the large pit reserved by Sai.

This is basically the initial design plan, and problems of one kind or another are inevitable during subsequent operations.

For example, due to water erosion, the soil moved to the lake reservation area, or due to calculation errors, the local soil liquefied, etc.

Fortunately, he has magic, so these problems that would be very troublesome for ordinary people to handle are actually not complicated for him, just a little tedious.

If more than 45 million cubic meters of soil were moved to the same place, it might form a mysterious legend or something. He had no choice but to pick up 35 meters deep sand in the desert. The meters deep organic soil above it was scattered in different areas and he searched for it stealthily.

Water is a little easier to deal with. You just need to open the door of the space cabinet and sink it into a large body of water. After adjusting the flow rate and covering it up, the chance of being discovered is not high.

Of course, changing places frequently is also the best way.

Sainz designed an invisible shower head in the space cabinet, which floats ten meters away from the top.

When water flows into the space cabinet, it will not appear directly at the bottom like soil, but will flow in this space first.

Then, when the water flow exceeds a certain depth, the mesh of the shower head will open and even "rainwater" will form in the space cabinet.

In this way, he allows the water that enters the space cabinet to be evenly sprinkled on all the soil, as if the entire space cabinet is rainy.

This system will not only be used this time, it will be part of the weather simulation system in the space cabinet in the future.

At that time, the entire area will be divided into many squares - the initial plan is to use 200 meters as a unit - and the water evaporated from below will be collected in the squares. When the water reaches a certain depth, for example ten centimeters, the "shower" will start, and the water inside will be dropped to form local precipitation.

As for the heat source in the space cabinet, I will adjust it manually for now, and consider replacing it with something like the Gublai Fairy Fire in the future.

He spent several years in the Room of Requirement, and this aspect was of course his main focus.

The Room of Requirement can simulate the environment required by various organisms very well, and can also provide the heat needed for animals and plants to survive "seemingly without energy". These are all very remarkable and cannot be simply and vaguely explained by the word "magic".

Of course "magic" is also acceptable, but you have to make it clear what kind of "magic" it is and why it can be used infinitely?

Just like when explaining the principle of a TV, you can't simply use the word "technology" to explain it! You need to explain what kind of technology it is.

According to Sainz's observation, the Room of Requirement should be related to the overall environment. For example, as long as there are no special requirements, the alternation of day and night inside it is consistent with the outside world. That is to say, when it is daytime outside, it is also daytime inside, and when it is nighttime outside, it is also nighttime inside.

Of course, in this case, Sainz cannot guarantee that he is correct. It is also possible that he just happened to be thinking about the request of the Room of Requirement.

But no matter what, the Room of Requirement does not exist without any support, at least it relies on the castle.

Sainz did a test inside. He tested the light inside. He found that the light inside was not just visible light like the light generated by fluorescent flashes. The light coming in through the windows of the Room of Requirement was most likely natural light.

Although it was a bit arbitrary to make a wrong judgment, he believed that it was actually natural light, the light from the sun. This was very magical because when he thought of this, he specifically tested it and found that he could also get a room full of sunlight at night.

Sometimes Sainz couldn't help but sigh that this might be the obstacle of his own knowledge and understanding. Things that he couldn't figure out despite scratching his head might seem natural to some wizards.

I am scratching my head here and thinking about how natural light comes from. Maybe the wizard who created this magical room just subconsciously thought: "The room cannot be dark, it should be able to get sunlight."

Whenever he encountered similar problems, he had an urge to talk to Miss Luna Lovegood. He always felt that this "crazy girl" could give him some inspiration.

Even though there are many students in Ravenclaw, Sai always believes that the only one who truly represents Ravenclaw is this ethereal girl who is excluded from the group.

She has a keen intuition that can get to the root of the problem without rational analysis. Sainz feels that this is true magical wisdom.

Although this kind of "emotional wisdom" is diametrically opposed to the "research attitude" he has always practiced, Sai has never denied the role of this "emotional wisdom" in magic research, nor has he denied the achievements that can be made with this kind of emotional wisdom, and he even has expectations for it.

As for the other Ravenclaws, Sainz felt that they seemed to have somewhat misunderstood the meaning of "extraordinary wisdom".

They applied this sentence to every aspect of life. They learned how to seize power, how to manage reputation, and how to collect money, but they did not learn how to think about magic.
