Chapter 807 Creating the Future
"In the late 1960s, Muggle civilization began the second industrial revolution. Over the past century, it has made great progress in all fields.
"Trains, planes, ferries... Muggles have woven a giant network with steel to cover the entire world. The footprints of Muggle adventurers have spread to all corners of the planet. In the past few decades, the traces of wizards and magical creatures have been revealed many times. In order to uphold the Statute of Secrecy, the efforts and costs paid by the International Confederation of Wizards and various wizard governments are inestimable.
"The Statute of Secrecy is a strategic bill jointly reached by the magic community out of consideration for the survival of peace.
"There are billions of Muggles in the world, and they have the most convenient channels for information transmission. They can talk to their companions on the other side of the ocean within a few minutes, and can simultaneously transmit the photos and recorded sounds to tens of thousands of people, or even strangers thousands of miles away. It is becoming increasingly difficult to hide magic.
"Seventy years ago, Grindelwald and the Magical Congress of the United States started a war in New York, exposing magical animals and wizards to the Muggles of the city. At that time, only the Winged Demon Venom could be used to quell the unrest and hide the traces of magic. Wizards all over the world praised Mr. Newt Scamander's wisdom and believed that Muggles were just ordinary humans who were fooled by us.
"But with the development of technology, things are completely different now.
"Just last week, when the British Ministry of Magic was preparing for a meeting, a Muggle accidentally entered the Leaky Cauldron and ran into several witches. That night, text and pictures were posted on the website. In just three or four hours, 4,700 people viewed this page. We cannot cast a forget spell on every viewer. Directly modifying the web page will leave log information. All measures will produce indelible traces. After consulting the opinions of Muggle experts, we can only add, delete and modify the information on the web page, disguising it as an urban ghost story.
"Even so, it still had an impact on the Muggles. There were many strange faces wandering around the street where the Leaky Cauldron was located. We had to strengthen our vigilance until the impact gradually subsided. Weak, this situation lasted for about half a month...
"The same thing happened in the Woolworth Building in the United States, the wizard settlement in Bavaria, Germany, and the French government intelligence department even sent a commissioner to investigate the traces of wizards. As the information channels of Muggles become more and more complete and the communication speed becomes faster and faster, magic will sooner or later be exposed to the prying eyes of technology. We must prepare in advance..."
In addition to stating that the confidentiality law is gradually being implemented, Ms. Bones also directly displayed a lot of video materials, popularized Muggle technology to the delegates and audience present, and even showed the telephone and fax in person. When someone speaks and writes on this side, they can hear the sound and see the same handwriting on the other side, and the fax machine spit out paper.
This exhibition is under the charge of the Office for the Prohibition of Abuse of Muggle Items, and a red-haired supervisor smiled brightly.
Some wizard governments in other countries are relatively closed and lack contact with Muggle society. They originally thought that the confidentiality law was like a high wall that isolated the eyes of Muggles and could be covered forever. As a result, it turned out that the wall was a glass wall, and the structure was loose and the foundation was unstable. It was already shaky.
When an unexpected event occurs, it will spread to the whole world in just a few minutes, and there will be no time to cast the forgetfulness spell.
After the presentation, Ms. Bones paused for a while, waiting for the wizards in the venue to digest the previous information, and continued her speech after more than ten minutes:
"Dumbledore recently visited intelligent creatures all over the world, especially mermaids and centaurs, the two most widely distributed and largest groups. The mermaid group is in a very bad condition. The tribes living in warm freshwater areas can still reproduce normally, while the mermaids in the ocean area are busy migrating to find a safe habitat.
"The Muggle government began to experiment with forbidden weapons sixty years ago. After half a century, many countries have made great progress in forbidden weapons and began to apply this principle to energy. I don't know if Muggles can master this energy, but because of their mistakes and omissions, more and more newborn mermaids are deformed. The prophet of their group believes that this is a sign of extinction.
"The Centaurs often hide in the primeval forests, know how to observe the stars and predict good and bad luck, and can avoid disasters. Despite this, the footsteps of Muggle explorers have appeared near their tribe, and it is only a matter of time before their identities are exposed..."
Some delegates and magical creatures nodded secretly, thinking that these things are likely to happen, and the current magical civilization can no longer forcibly erase all traces and tamper with the memories of Muggles as in the past.
"Other intelligent magical creatures are more or less facing similar problems. Muggles are already knocking at the door of the magic castle. Conflicts and disputes are inevitable. We are here to propose a solution to the problem - the migration of magical civilization."
Ms. Bones turned her head to look at the chairman's seat and the young wizard sitting next to Dumbledore:
"Before explaining the whole plan, please allow me to introduce here the youngest member of the Wizengamot, the youngest knight of the Knights of Merlin, the successor of the alchemist Nicolas Flamel, who was deeply involved in the improvement and promotion of the wolfsbane potion, who defeated Voldemort head-on at the New York airport last summer and sniped the Death Eaters... Mr. Loren Morgan!"
As those deeds came out of Ms. Bones' mouth, more and more eyes gathered on Loren, looking at him with either surprise or admiration, and finally turned into a kind of respect.
"Huh..."
Loren slowly exhaled, stood up, and nodded to the wizards around him.
From far to near, he could see Hermione, Draco, Harry and others sitting in the audience seats, and Headmaster McGonagall, Mad-Eye Moody, and Ms. Maxime who were closer. Next to him was Dumbledore, the old wizard narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled gently.
In fact, his original idea was to hide behind the scenes and let Dumbledore propose this plan, with his reputation accumulated over the past hundred years as a guarantee, and then let the Magical Congress of the United States and the Ministry of Magic of the United Kingdom coordinate and mobilize the entire wizarding world to implement the plan.
But Dumbledore refused.
He said that he had graduated and adult wizards should face these things on their own, and that this was a plan he proposed and needed him to explain and demonstrate... It was as if he had returned to the lower grades, and these difficulties were part of his student training plan.
These thoughts flashed through Loren's mind silently. He did not use his wand, nor did he chant any spells. His clear voice spread throughout the venue:
"Ladies and gentlemen, Loren Morgan sends his sincerest greetings.
"The foundation of the magic civilization migration plan is a new space transfer device. By exploring the mysteries of the soul and the body, the underlying principle of Apparition has been solved, and it has been combined with the Floo Network for improvement..."
Dumbledore sat quietly beside him, with deep blue eyes behind his crescent-shaped lenses, as if he was looking through space into the unknown future.
The entire venue Only the clear voice of the young man echoed.
New space transfer, the entire magic world, across the other side of the galaxy...
These words entered the ears of the delegates, as if a grand and glorious scroll was slowly unfolding in front of them. They had to concentrate to see a corner of the scroll clearly. Their brains were a little stiff, and they couldn't tell whether they were surprised or shocked. They couldn't even make a sound of discussion. The huge venue seemed a little silent.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the migration plan requires the cooperation and mutual assistance of all magical creatures in the magic world. A new era is coming. I hope we can work together to create a better future."
No mistakes, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar, one look!
Loren slowly sat down.
Ms. Bones immediately stood up and said in a deep voice: "Let's start voting."
"Representatives of the British Ministry of Magic, in favor."
"Representatives of the American Magic Congress, in favor."
"Representatives of the French Ministry of Magic, in favor."
"Representatives of the Egyptian Ministry of Magic, in favor. ”
“…”
In the audience, reporter Rita Skeeter stared blankly at the young wizard with black hair and black pupils. In front of her was an open notebook, on which a shorthand quill was shaking rapidly, recording one thrilling word after another. If someone looked closely, they would find that the handwriting was a little distorted, like the waves in the wizard's heart.
Everyone present knew very well:
This moment will shine forever in the history of magic.
