Chapter 903 Accompaniment or Compensation
After more than twenty minutes, Maca finally had his breakfast today.
"Well, this jam tastes good today." He smiled at Hermione as he smeared on the slice of bread, "Please make this trip."
I don't know if it's because of Maca's light beam of rule power that night. To be honest, the weather today is surprisingly good.
He opened the curtains in the office, and the sunlight poured in from the outside, soaking the whole room in a clean and warm pale gold.
There is always a strange beauty in the warmth of the sun than in the dry heat of a fireplace.
Suddenly, Maca puffed her cheeks and asked:
"By the way, what questions did you say you wanted to ask me? Is it related to Muggle science?"
"Oh, it's like this..."
The girls didn't really come to him to ask questions, it was probably just an excuse - at least that's what Hermione thought.
So when Maca mentioned it, she suddenly recalled this matter.
"Professor Bubbaji encountered a difficulty," Hermione explained, "She originally wanted to use 'steam engine' as the theme of Muggle studies for this Christmas event, but it was more difficult to understand than she imagined." There are many, so it has not been fixed until the last day..."
"So you went to help her?" Maca glanced at Luna with a subtle expression, "Didn't you cause trouble for the professor?"
When the latter heard this, she immediately raised her hands above her head, and her arms twisted strangely above her head like softened spaghetti.
"The professor said it was steaming!" Luna imitated, "Look, I guess that's what it is—but I remember that those Muggle 'machines' were not available on school grounds, and I think the professor always They didn’t succeed, could it be because of this.”
"Oh, I see...you put your hands down first!"
Maca shook her head dumbfoundedly, and then said to Hermione, "Then what do you think?"
Hermione shrugged when she heard it.
"I don't know..." she said, thinking for a second, then changed her words, "Well, what I mean is—I don't understand the principle of not being able to use Muggle products in school, nor the construction of steam engines. It's not very clear, so I can't express my views and opinions casually."
"Oh," Maca couldn't help laughing, "Your answer is very scientific."
After finishing speaking, he threw the remaining bread into his mouth, then patted the crumbs on his hands and stood up.
"Come on, let's go take a look together."
If you continue to stay here, sooner or later, what happened last night will affect the direction of the topic. In order to avoid the embarrassment of whether everyone should say it or not, Maca simply followed this matter to relax, so he said vaguely and walked towards the door.
When he walked to the door, he just glanced back at the desk - there are still a lot of materials on the desk right now! But soon, he took his eyes back and stopped looking.
"come on!"
Greeting Hermione and Luna to leave together, the three chatted casually, and soon came to the Muggle Studies Professor's office where Caredy Bubbaji was working.
In fact, as far as the two girls said, Maca naturally knew about it a long time ago. After all, when Professor Bubaji took out the design drawing, he was the first person to see it.
However, when Maca saw the brass-colored metal monster in the other party's office, he just wondered if he remembered something wrong.
"This is...'steam engine'?"
To be honest, it was a real "monster".
A huge drum was crookedly placed in the middle, surrounded by winding copper pipes, and a dozen pulling ropes with unknown functions extended from many copper pillars, drooping weakly one by one.
And behind these messy things, a wheel that is bigger than the barrel in the middle is placed there, and the overall feeling is as if a big fat beetle is carrying a wheel that is bigger than itself.
"Yes, this is a steam engine!"
Professor Bubaji put down the tools at hand, she first rubbed her forehead with the back of her hand, and then greeted her happily, not caring that her face was already covered with various oils.
"Look at it, isn't it great?" she said happily, before saying with some regret, "Unfortunately, I haven't gotten it to work yet."
Maca looked at this big guy with a very "steampunk style", and felt a little weird for no reason - even Merlin didn't know how this professor made something with a specific design into this appearance!
"That's right, it's really great."
"Thank you, thank you..." Bubbaji nodded repeatedly, and then turned to say, "Oh, you are... um, did little Luna invite you to help?"
"Yeah! I found Hermione, and then Hermione found Maca with me...I'd love to see it steaming before the holidays!"
At the same time that Luna replied, she raised her hand and shook her arm again. And it wasn't until then that Maca knew that this silly and cute move was not originally created by Luna!
Because, Ms. Bubaji imitated the scene of the steam rising up more cheerfully than Luna.
"I think I can't stand it anymore..." Hermione stood beside Maca, lowered her voice and said softly, "Maka, can you find a way to make them stop doing this?"
But Maca spread her hands and said:
"You know what? I'm actually more worried that it's going to be popular at Hogwarts if it weren't for the fact that everyone should go back to enjoy the Christmas holidays tonight!"
Hearing what he said, Hermione suddenly felt shuddering.
No way, this action is really too magical.
"Ahem... Anyway, let's see what's going on first!"
Not caring about Luna and Bubbaji's "steam imitation show", Maca quickly walked past the pair of live treasures, and came to this big guy that Bubbaji called "steam engine".
Speaking of it, Maca's height is indeed not tall, but in fact he is not short either. But standing next to this machine now, it was like a goblin from Gringotts walking up to an adult.
"Tom tom—"
He tapped the big drum in the middle with his fingers—fortunately, at least it was indeed empty.
Then Maca walked around the big guy again, making sure that at least both ends of the copper pipe were firmly connected.
According to the original design drawing spread out on the side, there seems to be nothing wrong with it except for the strange arrangement of the pipes.
But when he turned around again, he discovered a key problem.
"Professor Bubbaji, where is its boiler?" Maca pointed to the thing and asked back, "Where did you heat it?"
When Bubaji saw him ask, he became interested again.
I saw that she no longer went to shake her arms with Luna, and hurriedly came to Maca's side, pointing to the blueprint and said:
"That boiler was just for heating the barrels, but you know, the Muggles used to burn coal until it turned London black - so I thought, since we're wizards, why not just use more Environmentally friendly magic flames instead?"
Speaking of this, she seemed to feel that just explaining with her mouth was not enough, so she suddenly stretched out her hand and pulled a drawstring.
And with her tugging, a cover was automatically unscrewed, revealing a small copper pipe connected to the giant barrel.
"Look, according to the design drawing, the first step is to put some water here—" Bubaji pointed to Maca, then took out his wand and pointed at the spout, "Clear water is like a spring. "
After filling it with some water, Bubaji tugged on the pull cord again to screw the lid back on.
"And then there's the fire..."
Maca saw that she wanted to demonstrate it to herself, and quickly blocked her from continuing.
Although he didn't know the specific design requirements of this thing, he still remembered that it would explode, and the explosion power was not small.
"Professor Bubaji, this 'steam engine' will explode, I think we should proceed step by step..."
Maca hadn't finished speaking, but stopped quickly. Because he inadvertently discovered that when Bubaji was about to light the fire, Luna quickly hid behind the desk.
He was taken aback for a moment, and then said with hesitation: "Could it be that...you have already bombed it once?"
Bubaji looked at Maca and showed a particularly bright smile. But before she could speak, Luna, who was hiding behind the table, poked her head out and whispered:
"It's been fried five times—"
"Professor Bubbaji," Maca turned his head immediately, and said seriously, "I sincerely suggest that the manufacture of steam engines should be stopped for a while! I'm afraid that you will be carried to Ponfort before you can make anything. Mrs. Lei is there..."
Luna then said again:
"The professor has been there three times—"
"Luna, come here!" Maca immediately shouted towards her, "You are not allowed to come here in the future, unless Professor Bubaji can create something exactly like the blueprint."
After she returned here, Maca said to Hermione again:
"I can't do anything about this 'steam engine', I think we'd better go back!"
Before he finished speaking, he dragged the two girls and ran out in a hurry, but Bubaji's excited voice came from behind——
"Hey! Don't go! I don't think there will be an explosion this time, you believe me! Don't go..."
Maca still remembered that Ms. Bubaji was originally a very gentle witch, but unexpectedly she would become so excited and fanatical when she was doing her favorite research.
It seems that when Muggles talk about the word "wizard", they always think of the image of "an old witch stirring poison and grinning", which is really not unreasonable.
After leaving Bubbaji's office, Maca and her two daughters went shopping for activities they hadn't been to, and time passed quickly.
