Chapter 592 Infinite Energy(1/4)

"Making a storm?
No, dear Headmaster Dumbledore.
I'm just trying to provide a proper solution to a conflict that has existed for many years and is becoming more and more intense.
After all, the contradiction between wizards and ordinary people has existed since ancient times.
And as the technological level of the latter becomes higher and higher, and the various weapons they manufacture become more and more powerful, the wizards have changed from their original condescending attitude to the current vigilance, nervousness and hostility.
Decades ago, Gellert Grindelwald's ideas spread throughout the European wizarding world, and countless people were willing to support him and even sacrifice their lives. This is the best example.
The fact that so many wizards collectively go to extremes is the result of huge external pressure.
And pressure itself comes from threats, which are huge threats to life and death.
Although from World War II to the present, the magic world has adopted many strategies to ease conflicts.
For example, suppressing arrogant pure-blood families, absorbing a large number of wizards from mixed-blood and even ordinary families, etc.
But contradictions are contradictions. They may be temporarily alleviated or transferred, but they will never disappear.
It will be hidden like a landmine where no one can see it, patiently waiting for a foot to step on it and then explode with a bang.
This is what is bound to happen if the root cause cannot be addressed.
I can understand your conservative tendency of wanting to maintain the status quo and not wanting violent turmoil in the magical world.
But the problem is that if some things continue to be delayed, they will eventually spread like a thick sore until anger and dissatisfaction accumulate to a certain extent and cause the collapse of order.
While you are alive, you may be able to suppress this voice continuously with powerful magical power, just like you suppressed Gellert Grindelwald and Voldemort twice.
But what if you die one day?
If I remember correctly, it seems that you had no intention of taking the elixir of immortality from beginning to end, but were prepared to accept the coming of death calmly one day in the future.
The most important thing is that the world of ordinary people is about to usher in an unprecedented information revolution.
Faced with the power of this technological explosion, wizards can no longer rely on the previous methods to cover their whereabouts.
Because as long as one person captures the existence of magic through the device, it will be quickly uploaded to the social platform through the Internet in ten seconds to half a minute, and then it will be viewed by hundreds of thousands, millions or even tens of millions of people in just ten minutes.
.
And as these devices become cheaper and more popular, the risk of exposure will increase exponentially.
With the number of wizards in the magic world, is it possible to cast the Oblivion Curse on so many people one by one?
Even if those Ministry of Magic staff were asked to work overtime until they died, it would be absolutely impossible.
The only way out is to use the properties of shimmering oil to use magic to influence and control technological creations.
In this way, no matter what happens to the world of ordinary people outside, even if they fly out of the earth and embark on a journey to the stars and sea, wizards can still live comfortably in their own small circles.
Especially when the number of the entire human race expands to tens of billions, hundreds of billions, or trillions, the magical world can still continue to exist as an insignificant secret society."
Zuo Si fully explained his point of view in an unhurried tone.
Because he knew that although the old man in front of him was conservative and stubborn, he was quite rational and wise, and he could definitely understand the subtext he wanted to express.
On the current earth, in this contest between magical civilization and technological civilization that has lasted for thousands of years, the latter has obviously won.
Although many pure-blood families are arrogant and unwilling to admit this.
But facts speak louder than words.
Scientific and technological civilization can still survive tenaciously even if it is destroyed by nuclear weapons.
But the civilization of wizards would be completely destroyed if they were attacked by one attack.
Especially if the population, which was not originally very large, died in large numbers or even experienced faults, it would be hellishly difficult to recover.
Therefore, what the magic world urgently needs to consider is never how to develop and strengthen itself, but to ensure that the current balance will not be suddenly broken as the power gap between the two sides becomes wider and wider.
Dumbledore lowered his head and thought for a moment, then quickly asked: "Why do you need me to take the lead?
With your current fame, you can definitely promote this matter yourself.
And once you succeed, you will become the savior of the magical world and gain unparalleled reputation, wealth and power.
Especially those pure-blood families will even worship you as a hero.
Because this creation called Shimmering Oil proves from a certain aspect that the power of magic is far more powerful and superior than technology."
Zuo Si chuckled and shook his head: "Because none of what you just mentioned is what I want.
Otherwise, I would not have suddenly disappeared a few years ago and completely cut off contact with everyone.
What's more, I don't have enough time and energy to guide and monitor this reform that is related to the future life and death of the magic world.
But you are different.
You are originally the most powerful wizard and leader in the magical world, and you have many respected students and friends who can help you.
So it is most appropriate for you to come forward.
Of course, if you refuse, I can also try to find someone else.
For example, the current Minister of Magic, Umbridge, is a good choice."
Upon hearing these words, Dumbledore's expression froze instantly.
He suddenly realized that he seemed to have no choice.
If Umbridge were to do this, given how greedy this woman is for power and fame, there would definitely be chaos in the end.
Not to mention uniting the entire magic world to promote reform, they might even start fighting with each other.
So after pondering for a long time, the old man sighed helplessly: "Oh - you really posed a problem for me. Well, give me a few days to think about it. I need to confirm first this kind of thing called Shuo.
What exactly is the creation of oil?”
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "No problem. This is the spell to control the shimmering oil and destroy its creations. You just need to make a decision before I leave."
After saying that, Zuo Si placed the two sealed scrolls on his desk, then turned and left without looking back.
Because he had already foreseen the outcome at this moment.
This is determined by Dumbledore's strong sense of responsibility and mission for the wizarding world.
The principal would definitely not trust anyone else to handle such an important matter, and he was even more afraid that another ambitious guy would appear and seize the opportunity to seize power and repeat the tragedy of the past.
To sum up, he can only stand up and take on this dangerous and heavy responsibility.
As for studying Shuoyou, Zuo Si is not worried at all.
To be precise, he didn't think the wizards in this world could figure out the complex ingredients and mysteries inside, even the most famous alchemist Nicolas Flamel was no exception.
With another worry settled, Zuo Si walked out of the principal's office in a very happy mood and walked along the corridor in the castle.
But before he had gone far, he saw a girl with long hair, wearing a shirt and a short skirt blocking the only way to the stairs. It was Hermione Granger herself.
Behind her were a group of students waiting for the excitement.
"Long time no see, you seem to have matured a lot."
Zuo Si took the lead in breaking the silence and said hello with a smile, while looking at the other person with interest.
Anyone who has experienced puberty knows that the physical development of both men and women is extremely rapid during this stage.
Often after returning from a vacation, the height and appearance of many students will change so much that they may be unrecognizable.
Not to mention not seeing each other for several years.
The girl in front of her has long since lost her tenderness. Not only is her height about 1.65 meters tall, but her figure has also become bumpy due to long-term consumption of large amounts of meat, eggs, and milk, as well as the frequent use of time turners.
If I were to judge solely by appearance, some people would believe me if I were said to be in my late teens or early twenties.
Of course, Zuo Si's appearance in human form has also changed a lot. Two years ago, he looked like a young man.
"Yes. Once you left, I didn't hear anything from you for several years. Of course, when you see me again, you will feel a great change."
Hermione held the books and notes in her hands, her eyes showing a mixture of excitement, surprise and resentment.
Although she knew that her boyfriend came from another world and had a huge floating city to manage, there must be some unavoidable reasons for disappearing suddenly for several years.
Being understandable is one thing, being emotionally acceptable is another.
"I'm so sorry.
To be continued...
