Chapter 816: The contradiction that can't be resolved
After a brief distraction, Ivan picked up the cup on the table and took a sip. The hot liquid went straight down the throat and quickly poured into his stomach. The rising heat gradually dissipated the winter cold, slightly bitter taste. Still on the tip of the tongue, Ivan's spirit was refreshed.
Dumbledore, who was directly opposite, also took a sip while holding the cup, and then suddenly asked. "What do you think of the magic world now? Hals?"
Dumbledore's words made Ivan stunned. He didn't quite understand why the old professor suddenly turned the topic here, but after thinking about it, he still replied.
"Professor, I think the current political system of the British magical world is too rotten and backward. Some laws were even formulated hundreds of years ago. They have long been unable to adapt to the current era and urgently need to make changes..."
"You may not know it, but I met many poor wizards in Knockturn Alley. Some of them don't even earn ten gallons a month. Even basic living is a problem. This is obviously unreasonable." Ivan talked freely.
"Muggles are rich and poor, and so are wizards..." Dumbledore said noncommittal.
"But wizards are different from Muggles. The magic they master can be used in more important places. They can also live a better life with their own abilities, instead of being a handyman or a handyman in a place like Knock Down Alley. It's a thief!" Ivan retorted seriously.
He did not agree with Dumbledore's statement. In Ivan's opinion, any wizard who knows magic can create value far beyond ordinary Muggles.
They can use magic to make an object magnify, shrink, float, deform according to their own minds... A clever wizard can even create an independent space.
Such power can play an important role in many places. If it can be combined with the power of Muggle technology, it will be enough to trigger the next work revolution and greatly improve the living standards of all mankind.
As for the conflict between industrial objects and magic?
In Ivan's opinion, it is not impossible to solve. In fact, many wizards have made similar attempts, such as the flying motorcycle of Sirius and Hagrid, and the magic car modified by Arthur Weasley.
All this shows that it is absolutely feasible to combine magic and technology...
The only problem is that these creations are powered by the magic power of the driver. Muggles cannot be used and it is difficult to popularize. However, most wizards use fireplaces and phantom shifts, and there is no need for so-called vehicles.
This may also be the reason why the crystallization of technology and magic is so brilliant, but few people choose to conduct in-depth research in this area.
But this happens to be a topic that Nicol Lemay has been studying in his later years. The solution is the magic storage device, or a degraded version of the Philosopher's Stone!
According to the alchemy notes, if you continue to study the improvement of the Philosopher’s Stone, reduce the cost, and mass-produce it into a battery-like existence, then the magic will become a brand new energy source, even Muggles can. Experience the joy of magic.
A new civilization combining magic and technology will also be born from this...
These thoughts in his mind, Ivan didn't mean to conceal Dumbledore, and he spoke out generously. He also wanted to know how the strongest man in the magical world would think of his plan in front of him.
Listening to Ivan's narration, Dumbledore groaned for a long time, without any change in expression on his face, and then said slowly. "So you want to make the wizard's existence public?"
"Yes!" Ivan nodded without hesitation. He had read the Ministry of Magic's document report. It was clear that Dumbledore was one of the biggest supporters of the "International Wizarding Secrecy Act", but Ivan would not do this either. Lie, because he was convinced that his actions were correct.
"Then have you thought about how to resolve the conflict between Muggle and wizard?" Dumbledore didn't mean to be angry at Ivan's answer, but continued to ask. "Or to put it another way, in what capacity do wizards live in the Muggle world in your imagination."
"Probably wizards will become a very special high-paying profession based on talent?" Ivan was a little unsure. He hadn't thought about this question beforehand, so he had to bite the bullet and answer.
"It's probably hard to do..." Dumbledore smiled and shook his head, took another sip from the cup, and said with emotion. "They won't be satisfied with this!"
Ivan fell silent immediately. Of course he knew what Dumbledore was talking about. Most wizards were arrogant or even contemptuous towards Muggles. They usually felt that they were superior. This can be seen from the name. .
Moreover, the contrast between the strengths of the two parties will further expand this psychology.
After all, a wizard who graduated from a regular school, if he wants to, can completely turn the Muggles around, just buy a bottle of ecstasy, and make the beauties and handsome guys he loves crazy in love with him, and use magic to create an accident Easily kill people you hate.
Not to mention that a small number of wizards also master BUG-level magic such as forgetting spells and dementing minds. They can delete and tamper with Muggles' memories at will. It is not too much to describe them as they please.
It can be said that Muggle laws and regulations do not have any binding force on a wizard. If the other party is smart enough to commit crimes without being discovered by anyone, this temptation is probably something that few people can resist.
"What if we register all wizards and manage their spell-casting behavior?" Ivan said unwillingly.
"No wizard will give up the right to cast spells freely, and the Ministry of Magic has no ability to manage those adult wizards." Dumbledore put down his teacup ~www.mtlnovel.com~ and looked at Ivan and said seriously.
"In fact, every once in a while, there will be some wizards who cannot bear the temptation and act recklessly in the Muggle world. The Ministry of Magic has to make great efforts to deal with these vicious events every year..."
"If you can't guarantee that all wizards are willing to abide by order, then publicizing the existence of the magic world will only intensify the contradiction between wizards and Muggles, and ultimately evolve into war!"
Dumbledore’s words are very sharp. He has experienced the catastrophe decades ago. He knows the thoughts of most wizards and understands that many Muggles are very afraid of the power of wizards and are hostile to it. Attitude, it is not so easy to eliminate this contradiction.
This can be analogized to the problem of immigration between different races, but it is a hundred times more complicated and intense!
As long as a few wizards are hostile to Muggle’s wanton crimes and cause chaos, the conflict between the two sides will intensify. According to the lessons of history, there is a high probability that it will evolve into war or massacre... Whether it is Muggles or wizards that ultimately die, it is not. He would like to see.
