Admiral of Hogwarts

One thing we all know is that wizards have an advantage in logistics that no one else has. In other words, when the wizards' war breaks out, there is actually not much distinction between the front line and the rear.

In this way, even wizards in the UK can easily receive support from all personnel and materials from all over Europe and the United States during war.

This is also an important reason why Voldemort is called the second generation Dark Lord when he is doing things alone in the UK. This is because although Voldemort's battlefield was concentrated in the UK, he actually mobilized the power of all of Europe and even parts of the Americas.

After discussing some details about the war in the wizarding world during the exchange, today's spaceship arrived. Soon, Hugo and the others boarded the transport ship through a metal covered bridge.

Because all equipment now only considers efficiency and safety issues, these transport ships look closer to military transport aircraft than passenger aircraft.

For example, there are no portholes on the side of the ship, and all the chairs are of average comfort, and no cabin services are provided.

However, considering that the hyperspace engine currently used compresses all voyages into less than half an hour, this simple cabin decoration is naturally acceptable.

"The entire flight from here to Mars only takes 25 minutes. It is a very short flight." said the Soviet Union who sat down next to him and fastened his seat belt.

"And the actual journey from Mars to Earth does not take even one second. The time is mainly consumed in connecting the ship, leaving the port and entering a safe area, and recharging the engine."

"How long does it take to recharge the engine?" Hugo thought for a moment and asked, because of these three time-consuming processes, the first two are safety supporting projects and cannot be reduced, while the third process is closely related to technology. .

"About ten minutes," the Soviet Union said, "Actually, our technology can compress this time to 3 to 5 seconds, but the corresponding engine cost will soar about ten times that of the current space jump engine, and the energy consumption It’s also double what it is now.”

"Considering that these ships are transport ships, efficiency of use needs to be taken into consideration. Therefore, we adopted the current engine in order to improve efficiency as much as possible and reduce usage costs."

"But on the two frigates and two destroyers planned to be built, we will install those high-grade military engines so that these warships can perform the tactical and strategic maneuvers required by the military."

"So that's it!" Hugo nodded after hearing the Soviet Union's explanation. It seems that spaceships are no different from other means of transportation in this regard. Naturally, different configurations need to be prepared for different usage situations.

In fact, in addition to engines, this kind of cargo ship used for transportation also reduces a series of navigation and detection facilities compared with military ships.

For example, the space jump guidance compass created by combining the principles of computers and magic using arithmetic divination is not available on this transport ship, thus saving a lot of resources and space.

The reason why this equipment is not equipped is because the main purpose of this equipment is to make long-distance jumps when there is no star map and the specific conditions of the target location are unknown.

After all, if there is something at the target location or some energy bursts during a long-distance jump, it is likely to pose a huge threat to the ship making the hyperspace jump.

But for these fixed-point cargo ships, the specific conditions of the target location are completely clear, so there is no need to equip such expensive detection equipment.

Not three minutes after everyone was done, with a slight vibration, the ship left the space station and began to drive towards the space not far away.

Because there were no portholes around, Hugo and the others only felt a slight dizziness in the middle. After that, the screen above the seats showed that they had reached the orbit of Mars.

"It took us half a day to get back to London from Hogwarts, but it only took less than half an hour to get from Earth to Mars. Even in a magical world, this is simply amazing."

When she boarded the Mars One space station along the trestle with her suitcase, looking through the string window in the corridor at the red Mars below and the vast space in the distance, Hermione sighed from the bottom of her heart.

"It feels like this place is obviously more magical than the ground. You're right, it's ridiculous to fight for the little benefits on earth. Our future must be in the starry sky. "

"Welcome, Your Excellency, Admiral, and my sisters." After they walked through a corridor, the lion gave them a military salute, and then led them towards the atmospheric shuttle.

"On behalf of the Mars base, I welcome you. You will see all our achievements during this period, which even exceed our previous plans-"

Five minutes later, a 55-ton shuttle detached from the space station, then flew towards the red earth below, and soon entered the side of the planet facing away from the sun.

After entering the atmosphere, the anti-gravity system on the spacecraft started to slow down the speed, and then it flew gently towards a huge crater, and then passed through a door on the inside of the net entrance and entered the cave entrance.

"It seems you did a good job." After completing the connection work and stepping off the spacecraft, Hugo looked at the entrance hangar with a metal armor plate inside, and nodded with satisfaction.

"This is mainly because we have built the second geocentric furnace. Because of the experience of the previous construction and the availability of a batch of finished parts that were originally used as spare parts, the construction progress of the geocentric furnace is much faster than we imagined. quick."

Hearing Hugo's question, Shi, as the top local person in charge, immediately entered into working mode, took out a tablet computer from the ship's installation space and reported in detail.

"So it only took us 15 days to repair the geocentric furnace on Mars, and then use the powerful productivity of this furnace to feed back the construction project."

"With this furnace in the center of the earth, we can use the raw materials produced locally on Mars to quickly produce all kinds of items we need, without occupying the already stretched production capacity of the earth itself."

"So now the production capacity on the Earth side is mainly used by the Earth and the Moon, while the production capacity on the Mars side can not only supply Mars itself, but also accelerate the development of the asteroid belt, thus forming a perfect industrial cycle."

The ability to build the Earth Core Furnace so quickly is related to the ship girls’ habit of stockpiling. At least Hugo knew that the ship girls had stocked at least 80% of the accessories for the Earth Core Furnace, and almost all of them were core accessories.

So in this case, after transporting these core parts, you only need to quickly replenish the remaining 20% ​​of the equipment, and you can quickly build a new earth core furnace.

"Very good, I'm glad that you can give full play to your subjective initiative." After checking a series of details transmitted through the admiral network, Hugo showed a satisfied smile on his face.

"So, I think the focus can gradually shift to Mars. After all, the scale of bases on Earth has been restricted due to security issues, and only Mars is the future."
