The mastermind behind Hogwarts

Chapter 672 Moriarty Designs a Magical AI (Part 1)

The news that Moriarty was soliciting "wisdom ideas" swept through Hogwarts like a tornado.

Monday's classes were packed, but the young wizards still put their minds to work, tirelessly pondering what Ravenclaw wisdom truly meant!

After the classes ended, students from the four colleges returned to their respective common lounges.

They agreed that the search for wisdom cannot be done by one person alone; only by pooling ideas and working together as a group can we generate more insightful thoughts.

Ravenclaw common room.

It's so crowded that if you arrive late, you won't find a seat, or even an extra chair.

The young eagles took this recruitment campaign very seriously, and even seventh-grade students preparing for the NEWT exam participated. They all agreed that this campaign was much more meaningful than the NEWT exam itself.

Even Roger Davis, who was known for his womanizing and frequent affairs, was now scribbling on parchment.

"Dating requires wisdom, and I plan to write a dating guide to teach single people how to date."

"I guarantee we'll kill you if you write that!" Roger's gang of mischievous friends rubbed their hands together, itching for a fight. "Roger being in love is worse than killing me!"

"But dare you say that love doesn't require wisdom?" Roger retorted. "That's wisdom too, isn't it?"

"Dating isn't the main focus for Ravenclaws; let's talk about the wisdom of learning instead," a top student said, adjusting his black-rimmed glasses.

"It's common knowledge that our college has the most top students. Is it because we're always carrying around magic books and memorizing notes?"

"Obviously not!" Penelope said decisively. "I think our academy has cultivated a wisdom of learning, which was brought by our founder, Rowena Ravenclaw. It's a tradition, and it's a soul."

"Then every student in Ravenclaw supplements and perfects this wisdom through their own experiences, and perpetuates it, so that it will never be extinguished, no matter how many years pass."

"Great, well said!"

The top students couldn't help but applaud; she truly lived up to her reputation as Mr. Moriarty's girlfriend.

"If we can summarize the wisdom of learning at Ravenclaw College, could we help more students?"

Zhang Qiu's sweet voice rang out, and the smile on her face warmed everyone like the sun.

"Especially for those Muggle students, they don't have shorthand quills, memory ink, spellbooks, alchemy, or potions, so studying is very difficult for them."

"If Ravenclaw's learning methods could be shared with students in the school, whether Muggles or wizards, and they could grow as a result, I think the Ravenclaw Headmaster would be happy to see that."

Zhang Qiu has recently been exchanging emails with Zhang Tianxue. In addition to discussing some private topics about Moriarty, they also talked about teaching methods in the East and the West.

Even among wizards, there are significant differences between the East and the West.

In her letter, Zhang Tianxue mentioned that Harry Potter, a former third-year student at Slytherin House, was not well-adapted to compulsory education in the East and was in a very poor mental state.

"Let's try to share Ravenclaw's learning methods with the world. That's the wisdom of Ravenclaw!"

Penelope and her friends set their sights on a goal and got to work with great enthusiasm.

Hermione Granger looked at the senior students' earnest expressions, her eyes filled with undisguised envy: "Seniors full of fighting spirit are truly the most beautiful."

Hermione wanted to join them, but Hannah Abbott, who walked in from outside, stopped her: "Hermione, tell me, did you go on a date with Moriarty this weekend?"

"Yes," Hermione said, somewhat puzzled. "What's wrong?"

"No, it's okay, but you have to help me~" Hannah shook Hermione's arm. We agreed to have a crush on each other, how did you end up taking her place!

It wasn't until Moriarty admitted to his relationship with Hermione that Hannah belatedly realized that Hermione had already taken action, while she herself had only been fantasizing.

Hannah eyed Hermione's hot figure with envy, her admiration evident: "I also want Moriarty to help me develop my figure. Best Hermione, please help me~"

"Um, this..." Hermione recalled a saying from the Muggle world: "Beware of fire, theft, and best friends!" And it was absolutely true.

But Hannah is Hermione's first best friend, and Hermione doesn't want to refuse Hannah. But how can she explain it? She can't exactly say that she turned into a kitten and likes to drink milk.

Thinking about the details of her daily interactions with Moriarty, Hermione's cheeks flushed. Hannah, seeing this, said enviously, "You two are so loving. I wish I were as smart as you."

These words jolted Hermione awake. She pressed Hannah's shoulders, looking into her eyes: "This is a great opportunity to show Moriarty your intelligence! Attract him and win him over in your own way!"

Hannah thought for a moment, then nodded vigorously. "Okay, I believe you. Whether it works out or not, I'll give it a try."

Hermione watched Hannah leave, smoothed her long brown hair, and sighed, "They all have their own ideas. What is my wisdom? I think I only have a little bit of cleverness..."

"Ugh, this is really difficult!"

Like Hermione, many young wizards are troubled.

Those who were particularly eager to take this opportunity to show off their skills or impress Moriarty racked their brains.

While everyone was engrossed in the activity, Moriarty entered the alchemy classroom.

"Professor, it's been a long time," Moriarty greeted Professor Nicolas Flamel, who was reclining on a deckchair. "What are your impressions of the Muggle's technology lab?"

Nicolas Flamel concluded his two-week study tour yesterday, visiting several high-tech laboratories accompanied by a group of Muggle scientists.

"My takeaway is that the combination of alchemy and technology will definitely change the world." Nicolas Flamel seemed a hundred years younger, his smile full of anticipation: "Science fiction classifies cosmic civilizations into levels, and our Earth is currently a level 0.7 civilization."

"If we can perfectly combine alchemy and technology, our civilization will be upgraded to level 2."

"If we take your magical power into account, our civilization will be upgraded to level 3 or 4."

"Hearing you say that, I'm suddenly reminded of a question," Moriarty smiled slightly: "Is the end of science theology?"

"Haha," Nicolas Flamel chuckled, shaking his head, "I don't know, but I know you have your answer in your heart."

"My purpose today is to see what kind of sparks will fly when science and theology collide? Brilliant? Or will a small spark ignite a large fire, turning into a disaster?"

Moriarty put away his jokes and became calm and serious.

"The key to the Ravenclaw Tower is the head, and also wisdom."

"I want to create a magical AI with you. The current vessel is a head. Once I open the tower's layers, I'll release it."

"I suspect that Rowena Ravenclaw also wanted to create something similar, and the information left in the tower may be related to that."

This is the result of Moriarty activating the Alchemy Matrix, analyzing countless possibilities, and deducing the outcome.

"Magical AI?" Nicolas Flamel's interest was piqued. "A forward-thinking idea! If it could be realized, it would be the most fantastical technological innovation in human history!"

Moriarty's idea is feasible.

He possesses the most extensive knowledge in the magical world, which can be used as a data foundation, while the Alchemy Matrix grants Moriarty the ability to simulate and deduce various scenarios.

The Hogwarts students brainstormed ideas for the same purpose, and Dumbledore even sent letters to other magic schools asking for help.

Nicolas Flamel and the scientists, on the other hand, are able to create a complete application system and acquire big data from the Muggle world.

"But there's one thing, how do you plan to solve it?" Nicolas Flamel asked Moriarty:

"AI's learning ability! The Muggle world is also working on artificial intelligence, but we can't learn from them in this regard because magic is a miracle. In many cases, the same choice will produce different results, and this situation cannot be replicated."

Moriarty agreed with Nicolas Flamel's statement, as he already had a solution. He smiled and said, "Professor, let the owl fly for a while; Ms. Zhang Tianxue from Kunlun might bring good news."
