Chapter 980 Amber and Steel

"Okay, I'm beginning to believe that the Hyperion is really tailor-made for you..."

After Elena introduced the Hyperion's internal traffic in detail, Hermione said, "The movement within the ship relies entirely on magic positioning plus short-distance automatic movement. This is really too luxurious, Hogwart Compared to this place, Tsibi is like the backward Middle Ages.”

"Actually, you can learn to be more reserved -"

Elena's hair trembled and she glared at Hermione angrily.

Although "Calculator Ji"'s reasoning was correct, Elena still felt that her dignity as a demon king had been offended.

Different from its original history, the Hyperion underwent large-scale magical transformation in the final assembly stage.

In addition to stratospheric optical invisibility, movement that cannot be plotted, anti-gravity levitation, and winding path jumps... this series of strategic magic abilities, the most satisfying transformation project for Elena is undoubtedly the one in front of the ship. Semi-autonomous navigation and space locking functions.

The Hyperion's hull has extremely complex multiple space restriction areas.

To put it simply, it can be roughly regarded as the composite domain lock of Hogwarts, Azkaban, and the Ministry of Magic.

After several top wizards worked together to improve it, even Dumbledore was unable to enter the Hyperion through phantom migration. As for the loopholes in house elves, goblin magic, magical animal space talents, and port keys, they have also been repaired - in During the normal operation of the Hyperion, in addition to physical boarding, the only teleportation method is the encrypted floo network teleportation point located near the reactor.

Because of this, layers of magical restrictions have been imposed on the Hyperion's internal space, forming a complex structure like a honeycomb.

Personnel with different levels of authority can travel to different areas. Under the double lock of magic and science, the Hyperion is almost an enhanced version of Hogwarts Castle in the sky. Both in terms of safety and versatility, both are outstanding today. The pinnacle of human civilization.

In this case, most movement within the ship is completed by the "navigation cabin", and there is absolutely no chance of getting lost.

"Okay, I haven't finished explaining yet, don't interrupt-"

Elena reached out her hand, casually messed up Hermione's fluffy hair, and continued.

"The Hyperion uses space divisions between each area. From a macro perspective, it is still a continuous spatial whole, but there are magic force fields interlaced between each area. This means that it is easy to move around the ship at will. Trigger alert. If you plan to visit a certain place, don’t follow any ship structure diagram with confidence. I don’t want any of you to suffer from claustrophobia..."

"Eh? Claustrophobia? What does this have to do with our visit to the Hyperion—"

Hannah asked curiously, raising her hand.

"Well, this involves the unique security mechanism inside the Hyperion ship - I call this amber."

Elena raised her finger, looked around at the little wings, and explained extremely seriously.

"If an illegal intrusion is detected, the ship will automatically form an independent space wall, which you can think of as a small bubble. Since the Hyperion prohibits most space-based displacement methods, once it is imprisoned in such a small space, , it’s almost impossible to break free from the inside.”

"Then just go to the edge and find a way to break down the barrier!"

Hannah replied quickly without thinking, clenching her fists and waving them triumphantly.

Since serving as the Disciplinary Committee of Hogwarts, she has a lot of practical experience in using force to defeat cleverness.

"It's a good idea, but there's a small problem."

Elena nodded approvingly and added softly with a smile.

"If this space is established with you as the origin, then how should you get to the edge? In Professor Flitwick's class, you should have also learned the concept of relativity of motion. This safety system is fully activated, inside the amber It is relatively stationary. As for the common escape method, it involves space magic, but the Hyperion happens to be a comprehensive and stable closed space ring..."

"The chain trap mechanism -" Hermione said softly, "simple, but effective in maximizing the use of the prohibited Apparition area."

"Well, that's exactly right," Elena said, "but there's a little trick to get around this -"

Before she could finish her words, the hatch directly in front of her suddenly made the sound of a mechanical air pump.

The originally closed metal hatch reopened, but the scene outside was not the compact and serious bridge before. Instead, it was an open metal space that looked like a giant underground warehouse. The surrounding walls were covered with white. flashlight.

They did not appear on the ground floor, but in the middle of the "underground warehouse", which looked like a row of corridors running across the wall.

"Oh, we're here, come this way."

Elena looked at the little wings greeting them as they walked out, and introduced them with great familiarity.

"This is Hangar No. 1 of the Hyperion, and it is also the largest one. Directly above is the deck of the Hyperion."

"If we follow the non-magical world's definition of an aircraft carrier, then the carrier-based aircraft stored here are equivalent to 90% of the combat effectiveness of an aircraft carrier. But unfortunately, the Hyperion has not, nor does it plan to purchase So many traditional carrier-based aircraft.”

Elena lay on the iron railing above the hangar, looking around at the empty hangar, while continuing.

"There are not that many mature pilots in the wizarding world. On the other hand, wizards also have different understandings of the definition of flight and the sky. As a ship affiliated with Hogwarts, or on the magical side, the Hyperion is not suitable for use as a ship. The old idea of ​​aircraft launch..."

"So, is this the reason why...well, those bunch of broomsticks appear down there?"

Hermione looked past Elena, glanced at the scene in the "hangar" below, and asked with a strange expression.

It was different from the picture Hermione had imagined in her mind before.

At first glance, Hyperion Hangar No. 1 is more like a messy broomstick processing place than a hangar. Dozens of people in blue overalls are busy discussing below. In the center of the crowd is a group of people. A pile of shining silver broomsticks.

From a parking space for fighter jets to a large broom shed, the span between it is too magical.

Even though she is not a supporter of modern science, this kind of gap and replacement method, the future is too incredible for both the scientific side and the magic side, especially since they have just been destroyed by the Hyperion's internal defense system. After being shocked once.

"Flying broomsticks? That's just a form or a general term for a type."

The little hair on Elena's head shook proudly, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Just like the Hyperion, it is theoretically a variant of a cruiser and can be classified as a large ship. In the magical world, wizards can cast a flying spell on a broomstick to make it a flying prop, but There can also be magic carpets and flying swords.”

"But Hermione, you are right. In their normal standby state, they are indeed mimics of flying broomsticks."

Elena said, motioning for Hermione and others to follow her along the stairs toward the hangar below.

"After all, whether it is Dumbledore or the Ministry of Magic, developing a new flying broomstick - there is obviously no problem with this reason. As for the difference in specific performance and flight mode, it is just a change in line with the trend of the times... Anyway, everything is in line. Regular and reasonable.”

"Standby... state? Mimicry?"

Hermione subconsciously turned her head to look at Luna, and not surprisingly received the same confusion from the other person.

Whether it is inspiration or analysis, these are all based on some basic information. Since they boarded the Hyperion, their worldview has been rapidly collapsing, rebuilding, collapsing, and rebuilding again, and they have no time to digest and organize it. Thoughts.

Under such circumstances, Hannah Abbott became the most normal and calm person among the three.

Anyway, her brain is not as good as other best friends, so she can just understand whatever Bai Mao Tuanzi says.

If Elena is caught lying, Hermione and Luna will naturally summon her to fight against Elena. If Hermione and Luna have not found a suitable starting point for the time being, then she herself will have no reason to go. What's bothering her - she's just too lazy to use her brain, and she's not really stupid.

"Let's go down and take a closer look -"

…………

A few minutes later, they arrived at the center of the hangar from the observation deck.

As the distance got closer, Hermione and the others became even more confused.

First there are the busy, shuttling workers in overalls.

They are not all broomstick craftsmen in the traditional sense.

In addition to a small number of wizards with wands, there are also some goblins and at least 60% of non-magical people.

This is not difficult to tell, after all, few wizards would ask another wizard to "cast magic number 013".

Similar to such a rigorous and magical scene, there was only one place in Hermione's memory before - the Hogwarts Off-Campus Institute.

But on the other hand, whether it was the broomstick parts on the surrounding tables or the design drawings floating in mid-air, they all proved that this was a research and development center for a new type of broomstick. She even saw at least More than ten types of broom disassembly remains.

However, compared to the "adults" immersed in their own work, what is even more strange is their workbench.

It wasn't until they got closer that Hermione, Luna, and Hannah could clearly see what the messy reflections were.

Various metal structures are piled up in a messy and orderly manner around the site.

Some of them look like giant fans, and some are metal creations that look like enlarged versions of motorcycle exhaust pipes...

Of course, there are more things that have no apparent function at all. They are connected to dense wires, flashing lights from time to time, and making strange mechanical sounds. All in all, the entire site looks like a combination of a car repair shop and a broom shed. body.

As they gradually approached the center, something even more shocking appeared in front of them.

"Oh my god, those can't be real metal brooms..."

Hannah swallowed and looked at the silver brooms they had seen when they looked down from above with a look of shock on their faces.

Different from the silver paint she imagined, judging from the metallic luster and sharp, hard texture, the broomsticks placed in the center of the hangar were not common wooden broomsticks, but steel that had never appeared before. broomstick.

The key is……

These "flying broomsticks" are a bit too big, right?

They were at least four times the size of common broomsticks, as if someone had cast an expansion spell.

"Now, please allow me the great honor to introduce these children to you..."

Elena glanced lightly at the "flying broomsticks" and whispered with great pride and excitement.

"The thing that will fly in the sky in the future is the one at the top of the food chain - the flying broomstick, Valkyrja I."
