Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

Chapter 1177 Alchemy Congress

Alchemy has a long and all-encompassing history and is by far the largest magic branch.

Broadly speaking, alchemy involves both the transformation of the composition of matter into stone gold; the use of different materials to make magic objects and construct spell scripts; and the processing of herbs and other plants into medicines, that is, magic drugs, etc.

If you reach the level of Nicole LeMay, you can even alchemize your body and gain immortality.

Because the coverage is too broad, many branches are independent, and many branches are not adapted to the development of the times, and are gradually eliminated, reference is now made to alchemy, which generally refers to the processing of different materials to make magical objects, construct spell symbols, create new magic using ancient magic, which is narrowly defined as alchemy.

But the biggest difference between alchemy and other magic, in both the broad and the narrow sense, has never changed.

As long as wizards have a certain understanding of alchemy, the core of alchemy is innovation!

Yes, this is a magic field where innovation is more important than Moxibustion.

A mature spell or magic may not change for centuries in magical fields such as spells, deformation, and the spell used by wizards today is almost exactly the same as it was a thousand years ago. But that's not true of alchemy, let alone thousands of years, and it's even hard to see alchemy formulas decades ago.

Alchemy has been advancing, it's like the science of Muggles.

It can be said that scientific developments have changed the world of Muggles, as has alchemy. Alchemy has evolved over the past centuries to change the magic world, change the lives of wizards, and it is changing at an ever faster pace, and the status of alchemy is becoming more important.

In this case, communication and learning is also normal for alchemists.

Despite the current tensions, more than 10,000 wizards from all over the world have come to Cairo to participate in the International Alchemy Congress as the most important communication event in the field of alchemy and attracted by the ruins of the sun.

Over the next half-month, Ivan saw thousands of alchemy products that he had never seen or even thought of before at the International Alchemy Congress, and his eyes were wide open while his eyes were chaotic.

He had never thought to meet so many alchemy products, so many creative ideas he had never heard of before.

And the Alchemy Masters' speeches have also greatly benefited Ivan and learned a lot.

Because there were so many sessions, Ivan chose to participate in public presentations and presentations that he considered important or interesting.

For example, the combination of magic and technology and the production of magic weapons.

These are some of the things Ivan is more interested in. Among them, the combination of magic and technology is a relatively novel area. Although wizards have always been more conservative about Muggles and think they don't know anything, they have to admit that the world of Muggles has grown extremely rapidly over the last 100 years, and technology has begun to influence the magic world invisibly.

Muggle-made items such as cars, motorcycles, radios, etc. have long gone into the wizard's family.

While mechanical objects have such shortcomings compared to magic, convenience is undeniable.

In this broad context, the combination of magic and technology has become an emerging trend.

Muggles are collected like Mr. Weasley, and there are actually not a handful of wizards who modify cars.

It's just that everyone's sneaking around, not saying it publicly.

A number of alchemists from Muggles have also begun research to introduce more Muggles into the magic world.

For the past year, Evan's alchemy has been insisting on a combination of magic and technology.

Starting with Fred and George's prank products, he made a lot of little things and gained some experience.

But he didn't expect the wizards to know much more about Muggle technology than he expected.

Ivan attended a lecture by an alchemist from Japan who actually earned his Ph.D. in Mechanics from the University of Muggle and is trying to make complex industrial equipment with alchemy and magic...

If something like this happens in England, you can't even think about it.

If this wizard dares to do so and propagates it out loud, he must be the first target of the pureblood wizards, Voldemort and the Death Eaters, waiting for either death or Azkaban's life imprisonment.

The greatest opposition to the combination of wizards' magic and Muggle technology comes from pureblood wizards who consider themselves noble. For historical reasons, the number, number, size, power, etc. of pureblood wizards in Europe far surpasses the rest of the world, especially in Britain, where the resistance is greatest.

To put it this way, the magic world in Europe as a whole tends to be conservative, and wizards don't like change.

Not to mention the kind of change that fuses with the world of Muggles, which makes them even more uncomfortable!

So Europe is far behind the rest of the world in combining magic and technology.

Alchemy in Europe tends to be more traditional, and the direction and philosophy of wizards are still in the past.

Their overarching goal is to hope that one day, like Nicole Le May, they will be able to order stone gold and produce immortality medicines.

Twelve uses, like dragon blood, are what they study.

By attending the International Alchemy Congress and engaging in academic discussions with wizards from other countries, Ivan felt that the British magic world really needed to be reformed.

In addition, he listened to several presentations on magic weapons.

Magic weapon production has been a hotspot for alchemy in recent decades, and in this regard, wizards from the United States have clearly taken the lead in other countries.

In a product presentation by a semi-official alchemy team hired by the American Magic Society, Ivan saw their newly developed magic item, which made groundbreaking progress in the transformation of magic weapons. These magic weapons are not wands, but modifications of cold weapons.

They put spell alchemy, alchemy, sculpture and ancient magic on cold weapons such as swords, daggers, bows and arrows.

This is not a new idea, the combination of magic and weapons has been tried since the Middle Ages.

The original idea was to make magic available to Muggles as well. Wizards use magic to give weapons such as ice, flames, or make them sharper, but the effects are not ideal. Muggles have difficulty mastering these powerful magic weapons and are prone to accidental injuries. It is also a question of how to make magic last longer.

When the Wizard Secrecy Act is enacted, such transformation becomes illegal.

Apart from those dark wizards, no wizard dares to do this...

After such modifications were banned, claims of magic weapons were silenced for a long time.

But this alchemy team from the United States uses a special method to modify weapons, not the way they used to be, so that they can help wizards use magic like wands, not for Muggles, but for wizards.

While circumventing the secrecy law, it frees the wizard from the wand and has more attack power...
