Hogwarts and the Atypical Wizard

Chapter 407: Up and Down Issues

After asking Hagrid about the fence, Sainz went to visit Professor Sprout again. Professor Flitwick had not returned yet and Dumbledore was not in school either.

He spent the rest of the holiday shuttling back and forth between his home in Hogsmeade and Base One.

After coming to his magic ship through the vanishing cabinet, Sainz nestled in the recliner and said to Minxue, "I think it's time to make a more solid set of vanishing cabinets."

Minxue agreed, "It is indeed necessary. I will definitely keep one here in the future. With the vanishing cabinet, I don't need to go on board to enter and exit. Otherwise, I have to move to the side of the ship first and then go on deck."

This is indeed a problem. In the original trajectory, Hermione exposed the location of the Black mansion because someone grabbed her arm when she Apparated and took her to the stairs at the door.

Base One also has such exposure risks.

Traveling through the Vanishing Cabinet will allow you to appear directly on the ship, so the risk is much smaller.

This is not the main reason that Sai is considering. The most important thing is that he may need to move over a very long distance in the future, and using Apparition would be a bit tiring.

This time when he came back from Hong Kong Island, he tried to sense Diagon Alley directly. His spirituality gave him positive feedback and formed coordinates in his mind, but they were very unclear.

This showed that if he forced the spell, he could move directly from Hong Kong Island back to Britain, but he would definitely be very tired after the move was completed.

However, there is no such dilemma when using a disappearing cabinet.

He used the Fidelius Charm to hide a villa in Hong Kong Island, and tried to use the Vanishing Cabinet to return to the magic ship from Hong Kong Island, but there was no problem. The distance between the two was about 1 kilometers.

Therefore, during the more than one month that Sai was in Hong Kong Island, he was not completely separated from the British side, he just did not make any public appearances.

At the beginning, Sai was a little nervous. Although he kept shouting that he wanted to send a screw to the synchronous orbit, he was a little unsure about the communication problems after sending it up.

The radius of the synchronous orbit is 3.6 kilometers, and if you look at it diagonally from Britain, it is more than 4 kilometers. It is definitely not possible to rely on Apparition to travel such a long distance.

This time, sensing Diagon Alley from Hong Kong Island has given him a clear answer. With his current strength, it is impossible to move directly from the ground to the synchronous orbit.

After discovering his limits, Sai became a little worried. He was afraid that he would send the ship up but not be able to go up. That would make him a joke in space.

If direct human interaction doesn’t work, then is it possible to use tools?

The performance of the space eased his anxious mood a little. From the current point of view, there is no pressure to travel 1 kilometers, but he doesn't know how it will perform at a longer distance.

However, the farthest distance between two points on Earth is only 2 kilometers, so there is no condition to verify it.

Feeling unsafe, Mr. Sai decided to make a new set of more powerful disappearing cabinets.

He planned to try to replace the material of the Vanishing Cabinet in the hope that it would be stronger and able to withstand more runes.

Sainz looked at Minxue controlling the facilities in the kitchen to make tea for him with a distant gaze, and suddenly asked: "Do you think it is possible to increase the limit of space?"

Minxue didn't think it was bad luck at all, "I'm just a dead head, and the things I know are all given to me by you. You ask me questions that you are not sure about yourself?"

"Hey," Sainz also realized that he was asking a blind question, "When will you be able to stand on your own?"

"Do you think I don't want to?" Minxue let the cup fly in front of Sainz, and his voice came into the speakers opposite the sofa, "Whether I can stand on my own depends on you!"

"Young comrade, you can't rely on the organization for everything. You have to think about what you can do for the organization." Sainz sniffed the fragrance of tea, "Huh? This doesn't seem to be brought up by me?"

"No," Min Xue said, "It was He Nian. I was bored at that time, so you asked He Nian to come."

"He did it?"

"I'm a dead head, Henian is no better than me, and it gets boring after talking for a long time. He saw that there was tea in the kitchen, so he tried to process it a second time. Judging from your expression, it seems to be pretty good?"

"Hey, you know what, this pretentious guy is still somewhat useful... Didn't he say at the beginning that he wanted to tinker with a new type of incense?... OK... He can learn how to make tea... At least he didn't cheat me out of all those Galleons in vain."

Minxue said disdainfully, "Nothing, you're just jealous that Henian is more stylish than you."

"Ahem...By the way, why haven't I seen him these past few days?"

"I went into the space cabinet to play the piano for the animals."

"He really has nothing to do. He actually goes to animals to seek a sense of existence."

"He has quite a few fans now. Jin Ling said that the fairies there really like him."

"Forget it, let's not talk about him," Sainz said. "I'll propose a plan, you can refer to it and see if it has any practical value."

"About the Vanishing Cabinet?" Min Xue became interested, "Tell me about it."

"Here's what I think. The only Vanishing Cabinets I've seen so far are the pair we have. I don't have any other references, so I can only make inferences based on my own ideas.

You see, the vanishing cabinet moves things from one point to another. This is the appearance of their function. When I was studying it before, I carefully felt how it works. It feels very much like emitting a "wave" in a certain direction. "

"I know this," Min Xue said, "The other Vanishing Cabinet is a receiving terminal, and after the link is formed, the spatial fluctuations will be very weak. Compared with Apparition, the Vanishing Cabinet has almost no magical fluctuations in the eyes of wizards with less sensitive senses."

"That's it," Sainz said. "Let's make an analogy. Doesn't it mean that the Vanishing Cabinet has used almost all of its "magic" to move objects and all of its capabilities to do work? The loss is almost negligible.

It's like a machine that converts as much electrical energy as possible into mechanical energy, with almost no energy consumption and no heat generation."

"I guess so," Minxue said, "My way of thinking comes from you. It's hard for me to have a different understanding from you. You talk and I listen, but you don't take my opinions too seriously."

"What you said makes sense. Sigh, when will you be able to come up with your own ideas... Never mind... Just listen to me and think of me as sorting out my own thoughts."

"Okay, you continue."

"Continuing with the analogy, I think that the current evidence shows that the efficiency of the Vanishing Cabinet is already very high. It is almost impossible to improve the efficiency on the current basis, or even if it can be improved, it will be very difficult.

It's like a gun. The gunpowder has reached its limit of efficiency. If you want to increase its power, you have to find another way."

"It seems to be true," Minxue agreed with this statement, "It's nothing more than lengthening the barrel and increasing the caliber..."

Sainz shook the teacup in his hand and said, "You overlooked one thing..."
