Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

With the rapid development of the world of Muggles, the pace of magical and scientific integration is gradually accelerating.

Decades ago, people in the magic world despised Muggles.

Muggles, in the eyes of many wizards, are synonymous with weakness, ignorance and backwardness, similar to barbarians.

Most of their knowledge of Muggles also remained in the Middle Ages, believing that Muggles were still hunting and abusing witches and burning witches, as they had done in the past.

There have even been calls in the magic world to use time converters to go back to the past and save witches and change history...

But by now, whether you want to admit it or not, there's already a lot of muggle-designed machine stuff going into the magic world.

Hogwarts Magic, for example, uses printing presses to improve the design of Muggles.

The introduction of magic radios, for example, has directly stimulated the development of the radio industry.

The corresponding industries have also grown rapidly, and the odd sisters have been set on fire because of the radio.

There are also flying motorcycles, which just entered the magical realm before Sirius was locked up in Azkaban. It was originally common in the world of Muggles, but became a luxury product in the magical realm, once considered a substitute for flying broomsticks.

Ivan doesn't know how much Sirius spent on that motorcycle, but that's definitely not a small number.

You know, most of the assistance he gave his uncle Alphard was spent on it.

Sirius once told Ivan and Harry that his uncle had left him a sizeable amount of gold after he ran away from home.

In terms of the Blake family's wealth base, what he calls "considerable” is actually a lot of money.

Unfortunately, as a result of the new confidentiality act and the revamping of the Magic Traffic Management Act, things such as flying cars and flying motorcycles are not allowed to be produced and used, and those things fly in and out of the sky and are easily discovered by Muggles.

The most direct consequence of this, the large-scale convergence of magic and science, has come to an end and is prevalent only on a small scale.

This is a new policy promoted at the beginning of Fuji's reign and his biggest political initiative. It has been welcomed by many pureblood wizards. It is also a kind of disguised pacification and compromise, conducive to internal stability within the magic world and easy to focus on post-war reconstruction.

One of the core points of the magical pure-blood theory advocated by the traditionally conservative family of pure-blood wizards and Voldemort is the total rejection of Muggle technology, and they even call for the conquest of the Muggle world and the destruction of what is called “technology”.

If Voldemort completely dominates the magic world, then it's time to start a war with Muggles.

This is stupid, Ivan agrees to strengthen management, but this one-size-fits-all approach is hardly worth promoting.

Whether you want to admit it or not, science and machines are growing very fast and have surpassed magic in many ways.

The magical world should actively introduce science and technology to promote the development of magical civilization.

If he had the ability to do so in the future, he would certainly recommend that the Ministry of Magic revisit the law to promote the integration of magic and scientific products, such as the introduction of computers, television, the use of mechanical engines on broomsticks, etc.

They stared at the broken vending machine for half a day and ended up buying a subway ticket from a sleepy administrator. The deal was done mainly by Ivan, Harry and Hermione, because the Weasleys didn't know much about Muggles' currency or how much money they were purchasing.

Five minutes later, they boarded the subway, which drove them toward central London.

Mr. Weasley looked as nervously over the subway road map above the window as Ron and Ginny seemed as nervous as he was, while Fred and George measured a bunch of sleepless muggles without hesitation.

These people are regular working people, and you've never seen so many muggles.

“Four more stops, Harry, and three more now. Well, two more stops. Shouldn't we be getting off?” Mr. Weasley said excitedly.

Finally, they got off at a stop in central London.

The crowd was trendy and they were pushed out of the subway by countless men and women in briefcases.

Here, the Weasleys are excited to look around.

When using escalators, there is a lot of discussion. The people around them look at their faces, they must think that these people are from the countryside, they have never seen the subway and escalators in their entire lives, otherwise they would definitely not be so fussy.

Ivan had to remind Fred and George not to fall out of his pocket...

They went up the escalator, went through the ticket office, and there was another debate at the revolving gate, and Mr. Weasley was very happy to see his ticket swallowed up as cleverly as the revolving gate, trying to figure out how it worked.

It took them ten minutes to get to a wide street.

Both sides are magnificent buildings, the streets are already filled with water maroons, and the streets are full of people.

Not far away is a huge square, a huge electronic sign hanging on the tall building exterior wall, with all kinds of advertisements, high buildings, signs, people mixed together, confusing.

Ron opened his mouth wide and looked around in shock.

He had been to King's Cross, but had never been to the heart of London, and had never imagined seeing such a shocking picture.

He looked up at the tall building and suddenly felt a little spinning, hurrying to grab Harry and not let himself fall.

In his heart, it was also the first time Muggles had been born with such a horrible feeling...

“Fascinating, isn't it?” Mr. Weasley said, looking around, “but where is this place? ”

That was a shock, thinking that despite Mr. Weasley's frequent checks of the subway road map, they had gone down the wrong station.

If that's the case, it's too bad, seven wizards are stranded in downtown London...

Ivan was a little familiar with the square, and his dad's corporate headquarters seemed to be around here somewhere.

But he hasn't been here for a long time, and he can't tell the difference between East, South, West, North.

The last time he went to the Ministry of Magic, he went from the fireplace in Dumbledore's office...

“Ah, I remember. This way, boys!” Mr. Weasley said that he led them around and into a fork.

“I'm sorry!” I've never taken the subway, "he said," and everything looks completely different with Muggle's eyes. This is a shocking place, to be honest, I've never used the visiting population before. ”

They walked forward, and about fifteen minutes later, the buildings on either side of the street gradually became less magnificent than they had just been.

Finally, they came to a desolate little street.

There are only a few seemingly dilapidated offices, a tavern and a tumbler full of spills.

“Here we are!” Mr. Weasley is pleased to say.

“Is this it?” Harry thought the Ministry was in a much more fancy place, just like that square.
