Hogwarts: From Selling White Peppers to Becoming a God

Chapter 345 This is the real human being!

The first magic radar was actually built on an open space not far from the magic research institute.

The outside was surrounded by a very inconspicuous construction scaffolding structure.

To ensure timely and stable magic frequency modulation, "Athena" is connected to the radar via magic metal wires, rather than through other wireless means.

As a supercomputer, Athena has very high requirements for its operating environment and is basically unable to move. The magic metal wires have limitations on signal transmission distance, so the radar can only be set up within a range of a few kilometers.

Moreover, as the first prototype of the Magic Radar, it naturally needs to undergo a lot of experiments and debugging, and being close to the research institute is also convenient.

As for the lake area, it was chosen as a location for future radar construction.

After Lucas completed the Horcrux transfer, he immediately took over control of the radar and had more than two hundred wizards, who served as "batteries," put in place to input magic power into the magic antenna's energy components.

This magic will be frequency-modulated by a super-large data machine controlled by Lucas, and then amplified by radar. However, this time, the magic that is finally successfully converted will not be used to transmit signals outward, but will be directly fed into a device that resembles a small satellite receiver.

"Let's test it first, and while we're at it, get rid of that mental coordinate in my head," Murphy said.

"Okay." Lucas aimed the device at Murphy's head, then leaned closer. "Sorry, Professor, I might need to get a little closer."

As she spoke, she pressed her forehead against Murphy's and closed her eyes.

At the same time, the small transmitter emitted a magical wave, the frequency of which increased and gradually approached that of microwaves.

A small dot on Murphy's head slowly came into Lucas's perception.

"I found it."

As she spoke, the microwaves gradually focused into a beam, aiming at the high-energy frequency point.

The next instant, its intensity suddenly increased by an order of magnitude, and Murphy felt a blur before his eyes, as if something had been taken away from his mind.

"The magical fluctuations at that coordinate have disappeared..." Lucas said, pulling her face slightly away from Murphy's forehead. "How are you feeling?"

"Not bad, I seem to feel much more relaxed," Murphy said, standing up.

We got a little too close; our noses almost touched.

To be honest, I didn't realize it at first, but thinking about it carefully, if we can just use a receiver to detect coordinates, what's the point of sticking it to the forehead?

But never mind, I can't think about this too much. "Test complete, let's go take care of that guy."

The two returned to the glass enclosure.

Lucas replaced the launcher with a needle-shaped device, which he inserted into the corridor where the Virgin Mary was imprisoned.

The Virgin Mary's magical power has diminished to half of its original level.

"Let's begin," Murphy said.

A beam of magic shot out from the needle-like tip of the launcher and struck the pendant.

In Murphy's magical vision, the magical ray was still orange-yellow, but as Lucas tuned it, its color began to deepen, rapidly changing from orange-yellow to blue-green, then to purplish-black, and finally becoming an ultraviolet color with almost the same intensity as the pendant.

Its intensity becomes extremely high, but the flow of magic is not large—the total amount of high-frequency magic produced by the combination of two low-frequency magics is far less than the sum of the two low-frequency magics, which is consistent with the principle of spectral combination.

Even so, the Virgin Mary still felt threatened. "This is impossible! Such magic cannot exist in this world!"

"Impossible?" Murphy laughed.

He loved seeing the enemy's expression, as if their worldview had collapsed.

"You're using something like the 'Loyalty Spell' to seal the levels of magic, right? But that spell is too 'advanced'; it needs lower-level, more primitive rules to support it."

Murphy said.

"In the real world, the rules of physics are the most basic and fundamental rules. By directly using things created under the rules of physics, I may be able to break free from the constraints of advanced spells."

This is similar to how blocking certain address interactions with a firewall requires adherence to network protocols. Network protocols are the underlying rule architecture, while "blocking address interactions" is a higher-level instruction built upon these rules.

If someone wants to block an IP address from a certain address pool to access the network, they only need to assign an IP address that is not in the address pool to the machine, and the policy will automatically become ineffective for that device.

The "Loyalty Spell" seals magic and restricts its application primarily to wizards. However, no wizards exceeding the current level of limitations appeared during Murphy's creation of this ultra-high frequency magic ray.

Therefore, the existence of this super-powerful magical ray does not actually conflict with the spell to seal magical power.

In fact, the Virgin Mary is the best proof of this. If it is true that higher levels of magic cannot exist in this world, then the Virgin Mary's level of magic should at most be on the same level as Murphy and Dumbledore.

Since it can possess higher levels of magic, it means that there are loopholes in the rules that restrict its access.

This also aligns with the conjecture that magic is a higher level of authority above the basic physical rules.

The ray continued to shift, and Lucas's forehead was beaded with sweat. She was making extremely precise adjustments to make the ray's frequency of fluctuation match that of the Virgin Mary, while simultaneously reversing its phase. In this way, just as Murphy reversed the magic of the fairy Brin, she would directly cancel out the other party's magic.

Soon, the frequency was adjusted, and immediately, the Virgin Mary's magical power level began to plummet, and this was definitely not because she was running away.

"You don't understand what you're doing," the Holy Mother said. "Humans are as fragile as infants and should remain in their swaddling clothes. I am your protector, and you are killing your protector, killing your mother."

"Mother?" Murphy was taken aback.

He then sneered, "The mother of humanity?"

"You think you can beat me?!"

Do you know what a human being is?

"Modern Homo sapiens emerged 10,000 years ago, late Homo sapiens emerged 50,000 years ago, the Homo sapiens species emerged 250,000 years ago, and the humans you are talking about emerged at least 2 million years ago."

"Two million years! Hundreds of billions of individuals, fighting against beasts, against the cold, against hunger, against the climate, and against other human races..."

"Countless people died, and countless tribes were eliminated in the long competition of the past two million years. Only our ancestors defeated wild beasts with stones, defeated the cold with fire, defeated hunger with planting and gathering, defeated other tribes with wisdom and strategy, and defeated climate change through the migration and trekking of countless generations..."

"Over millions of years, they have faced extinction several times. At the most difficult time, there were fewer than two thousand people left, struggling to survive for more than 100,000 years."

"But they survived, and even wiped out all 16 human species under the genus Homo except for us, making modern Homo sapiens the sole referent of the word 'humanity'."

"Our former rivals have all turned to fossils and ashes; only we remain standing."

"This is the history of humankind."

"This is what a human being is like!"

"Millions of years of elimination and evolution have created the greatest race in the history of this planet."

"You dare call yourself the mother of such a people?"

"Who the hell do you think you are?"

As if sensing Murphy's will, the magic interference ray suddenly doubled in strength, and the pendant began to melt under the intense magical impact.

Wisps of black smoke, as if produced by incomplete combustion, escaped from the pendant, accompanied by a piercing and terrifying scream.

It seemed to finally feel the pain.

"You, you all, can't kill... me..." The voice emanating from the pendant became distorted, "I am everywhere, I am infinite..."

"Crack..." The glass on the pendant shattered.

With a whoosh, the smaller portrait burst into flames and instantly turned to ashes.

"A vow, a must..."

The Virgin Mary's voice disappeared.

Lucas's body went limp, and Murphy quickly supported her. "How are you?"

The girl shook her head, took a few breaths, and after a while, some color returned to her face. "Teacher, I feel like it's not quite dead yet..."

Murphy felt the same way.

However, "It's okay. Once we find the magic energy source, we'll build magic radars all over the place and search the entire surface. Anyway, with its magic information, it can't escape."
