Chapter 501 Weaponized Deterrence
"I need an explanation, Miss Kaslana." Dumbledore said solemnly.
"Now? Maybe... it's not appropriate?" Elena said as she glanced at the few little witches around her.
"That's right, now! If you have any doubts..."
Dumbledore tapped his fingers on the table. Although the surrounding environment did not change, the distance between him and Elena instantly became quiet, and an invisible magic enveloped him and Elena. Lina and two.
Even though they were close at hand, Hermione and the other two couldn't hear the voices of Elena and Dumbledore at all - they couldn't even see their mouths clearly, as if everyone's eyes were suddenly covered with a layer of darkness. fog.
At the same time, Dumbledore's gentle voice rang in the girls' ears.
"Sorry, maybe I need to talk to Miss Kaslana alone."
…
In the silent magic barrier, Dumbledore crossed his fingers and looked at Elena particularly seriously.
"I don't understand, Miss Kaslana."
Dumbledore said softly. Elena had never heard Dumbledore speak in such a serious and dignified tone. Even when he mortgaged Hogwarts a few months ago, the old man never seemed so angry.
"Perhaps the other three ladies didn't know the danger of this matter in advance, but I don't think you don't understand what you are doing. Regarding the experiment of explosives, this is no longer a serious matter that can be fooled by fun. ”
"...the reason?"
Elena raised her head, hesitated for a moment, and then spread her hands helplessly.
"In fact, this is not the first time that the same experiment has been carried out these days. This time tonight was just an accident. I never thought that magic would have such a large increase in conventional chemistry. After all, according to my previous equivalent deduction, ten Kilograms of low-purity ammonium nitrate mixture should not have such an effect."
"In other words, can I understand that you are making weapons?" Dumbledore's face became more solemn.
"Weapons? Yes, I am indeed trying to conduct weaponized [magic-chemistry] experiments."
To Dumbledore's surprise, Elena didn't mean to make any excuses, but answered calmly.
"Why?" The old man frowned.
"Because Hogwarts, or rather the Wizarding World, needs weapons."
Elena looked directly into Dumbledore's eyes, a dangerous light flashing on her face, "If you want to intervene in the disintegration of the Soviet Union and other major events in the non-magical world, wizards must have something powerful enough in their hands. and backed by a deterrent force base.”
"You mean, power?" Dumbledore responded softly.
An unruly shadow flashed subconsciously in the old man's mind. He seemed to have heard the same words decades ago.
But then, in addition to being solemn, Dumbledore couldn't help but feel a little more confused.
"But...if it's just for destructive power and lethality, there are smarter ways to use magic. I don't think it's necessary for you to conduct such meaningless experiments. There have been enough war magics in this world. ”
"It's not enough - or in other words, those are not suitable." Elena shook her head.
"Fire Curse, Mass Apparition, War Transfiguration, Avada Kedavra, Soul-Impering Curse, Plague Potion... These can indeed exert extremely terrifying lethality in war, causing opponents to unknowingly Loss of life. But - their existence is like dum bombs and poison gas weapons. They have a fatal flaw: they lack harmless deterrence."
Elena paused and glanced at Dumbledore in front of her. Regardless of whether he could understand or not, she thought for a while and continued.
"If you know a little bit about the history of human wars and the history of the Cold War over the years, you will know clearly that wars in the non-magical world end with nuclear deterrence. The first prerequisite for equality between the two worlds is that they need to be wary of each other. .”
"The power of magic is far greater than you imagine..."
"It's far more mysterious, inscrutable, and incomprehensible than I imagined."
Elena nodded, followed Dumbledore's words, and quickly added, "But unfortunately, if we want to make the non-magical world realize the power of the magical world, judging from our current situation, it seems that we can only do it through Kill on a large scale to create this effect - and once this is done, no matter what the outcome, it will be an endless war."
Elena has learned a lot about war magic these days.
After all, her follow-up plan involves extracting the bones and marrow from the bear, so the imaginary enemy will inevitably take into account the non-magical world of the Soviet Union and the non-magical world of the United States, which is a small-scale local war.
Even if she is a prophet with past life history, Elena must be prepared to have an effective countermeasure if the worst happens, so that she can push the wheel of history back to the greatest extent.
However, according to Grindelwald's introduction, the magical world's war direction on the mysterious side has gone too far. Most war magic still focuses on the logic of high mystery and high lethality, and is a practical war magic.
"In other words, we're not trying to win the war, we're trying to prevent it."
Elena raised her finger, looked at Dumbledore, and explained seriously.
"In a short period of time, it is very unrealistic for the non-magical world to understand the power of magic, but if it is some high-destructive weapons that they can understand some of the principles and destructive power, it will be different. "
"The significance of nuclear deterrence does not just lie in its destructive power."
"The most important thing is that it is first and foremost a weapon that can be widely understood and has a simple and crude form - explosion. This is a common method of communication in the entire human world today, just like knives and armor in the cold weapon era. "
To give a simple analogy, two people are arguing. One person says that I will cut you into two pieces with a forty-meter-long ship-cutting knife, and takes out the ship-cutting knife and starts peeling potatoes in front of you; and the other People say that if I strike with the sword, your past, future, and present will all be cut off. Then he cuts the air - look, your marriage is cut off now, are you afraid? !
"... Regarding this, we will discuss it after Gellert comes back."
After Dumbledore was silent for a moment, he thought about it and chose to put the issue aside for the time being.
This aspect is not his area of expertise, and whether he disagrees or agrees, it is not a very appropriate choice - as the headmaster of Hogwarts, he only needs to solve some of the things within his scope of responsibility.
The old man tapped his fingers on the table again, and the magic barrier surrounding the two people quietly withdrew.
"Then why in the History of Magic classroom?"
"Because it's cold outside the school!"
Elena answered quickly.
Dumbledore: "???"
After taking a look at Dumbledore's face, which instantly turned dark again, the girl stuck out her tongue and added an explanation.
"and……"
