Chapter 678 Moon Scenery
"I'm a little nervous."

Andrew got up early as usual and thought about today's arrangements - even someone as bold as him was a little excited.

Although it sounds like a gift, there is no doubt that a group of top wizards will have more advantages than ordinary wizards, whether it is for exploration or dealing with possible problems.

The news was no longer kept secret at this point, and although the outside world was still unaware, several professors at Hogwarts already knew what they were going to do - after all, the news would be announced after they returned this time.

"Good morning, Andrew."

Hagrid stopped Andrew at the place where he usually ran, looking a little embarrassed, "Are you going up today?"

"Yes, but it's a secret, Hagrid. It's a secret for now."

Andrew was not surprised at all by what Hagrid knew. The spacecraft was built right next to the hunting ground. Even if other professors could hide it, Hagrid would not be able to do so, not to mention that there was a spy in the principal's team - no, two spies.

Whether it is Dumbledore, who basically never hides any information from Hagrid, or Madame Maxime, who occasionally comes here to spend her free time, they are all spies in a sense.

"Well, I'll go up today and return soon. After all, school is about to start."

Andrew nodded. "But I don't need to bring you any souvenirs. Although the rocks and sand from the moon sound great, I'm afraid you won't be able to use them."

Hagrid smiled sheepishly, and Andrew noticed that the giant blushed visibly.

"By the way, what have you been busy with these days?"

"Prepare magical creatures. Dumbledore will use them. He said he wanted to build a base on the moon. So I'm currently improving the Wither Skeletons and trying to make one that can survive on the moon."

Hagrid shook his left hand, which had visible scars on it. "They have bad tempers, but they can produce some coal or something. In the past, wizards raised them to keep warm in the winter."

"Oh, that coal seam elf," Andrew nodded. He really knew about it. "Muggles seem to have discovered it. The Ministry of Magic took great pains to make them think it was a joke."

"That's right. Dumbledore said that we won't be able to carry much fuel up there in the early stages. We have to find a way to use it to keep warm before he prepares something to keep warm."

???

Okay, wither skeletons produce carbon, and the sanctuary alchemy produces air, which is enough to get through the early stage. In the middle stage, Dumbledore will probably have to collect materials on site to build a nuclear reactor. It is indeed feasible, but the technology tree looks weird.

But there is no doubt that Dumbledore's determination is greater than Andrew imagined. It seems that Hogwarts on the moon must be built. I just don't know how many schools and residential areas will be squeezed in there in the future.

But that’s a story for later. The most important thing now is to land on the moon first.

After a quick breakfast, Andrew and his group of six got into the aircraft cabin together after a careful final inspection and waved goodbye to Professor McGonagall.

It is worth mentioning that in order to facilitate Madame Maxime, this time the aircraft directly added a space that is much higher than the side exits.

"Get ready. We are about to enter the acceleration phase. Deploy the armor spell and life-sustaining alchemy device."

Dumbledore's unhurried voice sounded.

Andrew waved his wand and gave himself a full-strength blessing, and responded, "I'm ready, Captain."

"Of course, our captain." Mr. Flamel was unusually lively and immediately responded, then looked at the rest of the crowd with expectant eyes.

"Okay, no problem, Captain."

"Okay, that's all right, Captain."

Karkaroff's voice fell behind Vladislav who quickly caught up, with a bit of helplessness, but also eager to try. Only Madame Maxime had some surprise on her face, and finally just nodded.

The aircraft accelerated, and the overload speed was cleverly offset by the life-support device - compared to the space transfer played by the wizard, this pressure was not difficult to resolve under the effect of magic.

38.4 kilometers is the average distance between the earth and the moon, but it is nothing in front of a high-speed spacecraft. With the top-level materials, top-level wizards, and top-level magic combined, Andrew and his team reached their destination in less than a day.

"We have arrived at our destination. We are preparing for a second separation and have the spacecraft park above the moon. We will take the secondary spacecraft down and make a mark. If our calculations are not accurate, we will have to make a broom along the marks to get up. Taylor said before that he has no confidence in calculating this."

When they arrived at their destination, Dumbledore still had the leisure to joke.

"Do you think I'm a large computer? I'm good at magic, otherwise I'd be the only one left to figure out today... As for the basics of navigation in the magic world, not to mention the starry sky, not getting lost in the sea would be considered a victory..."

"It's okay. We've brought the life-sustaining supplies and are ready for school. We've also brought the portraits. If anything is wrong, let them start school while we prepare the base."

Karkaroff looked relaxed. It was obvious that the headmaster felt very at ease in this place where Voldemort was definitely not present.

"Don't say that. Although we don't have very accurate data, we shouldn't be very far from the back."

Andrew took the lead and walked in front. "The circumference of the moon is only 10921 kilometers, which is not too outrageous."

"Anyway, they're all here."

Mr. Flamel smiled and said, "I don't want to wait for someone to come back on the spaceship."

After some encouragement, everyone stepped into the second-level aircraft and started it up again - just like Andrew said, there was no big problem, the flight status of the aircraft only needed to be adjusted manually twice, and it could fly on the surface of the moon like an airplane.

"I knew you could, Professor!"

Andrew spoke to Dumbledore with admiration and waved his wand to clear the dust off Dumbledore's body - yes, the two manual adjustments just now were all to let Dumbledore out for adjustments, and the others used magic to ensure that Dumbledore would not be thrown out.

Anyway, there is no atmosphere on the moon, let alone any harm from high-speed air currents. All we need to do is keep the vehicle stable and prevent too much air from leaking out. It just won't look very nice and the temperature will fluctuate too much.

"It's okay. It's much better than I thought. I thought it would always be that temperature."

Dumbledore nodded, obviously appreciating the environment outside. "How long will it take us to reach our destination?"

"About half an hour, Headmaster."

Andrew nodded, "It's just not likely to be the exact center. My astronomy isn't that good."

"That's enough. Let's get ready. Get the gravity alchemist ready - there's no sign of any living creatures here. Once we go down and explore, we can use Transfiguration to clean up the terrain and then prepare the camp."
