Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 259: Lost Technology

Albert knew nothing of Dumbledore's meeting with the LeMays, and is now frantically learning about alchemy mentioned at the party.

This time, it really came right.

Although everyone did not fully disclose their achievements, Albert still learned a lot of useful things.

Also, most wizards are willing to keep owl contact with him. Albert naturally refused to come, but he was very strange, when did he become the Xiangmo in everyone's eyes?

Are they optimistic about their future?

Albert quickly got rid of the extra thoughts in his mind and listened carefully to Adolf's explanation of the important principles of double-sided mirrors.

Actually, double-sided mirrors are not a secret in the wizarding world. However, the double-sided mirror, which was very popular in the magic world in the past, has basically disappeared from the market.

"I have a question!" Albert waited until Adolf finished speaking and asked his doubts, "Why is there basically no one selling double-sided mirrors now?"

"Mr. Anderson, as I just said, the manufacturing process of double-sided mirrors has disappeared for many years." Adolf said regretfully.

"Actually, many people know the general principle of this kind of magic mirror. However, after the death of its maker, Blair Burst, the technology for making double-sided mirrors disappeared, and no one can make them. Blair Burst's double-sided mirror."

"As I said, double-sided mirrors were once popular in the magic world. At that time, there were still a lot of double-sided mirrors in the magic world. No one would make low-quality products because they simply couldn't be sold."

Later, as the double-sided mirror was damaged, the number of residues decreased, making it difficult to find double-sided mirrors on the market, and the manufacturing technology of double-sided mirrors was gradually forgotten by people. , and the most important point is that if you want to make a double-sided mirror, you must be proficient in both alchemy and transfiguration spells.

The essence of a magic mirror like the double-sided mirror is the advanced application of transformation spells. However, there are very few wizards who can use it on the magic mirror.

Even if you are proficient in alchemy and transformation spells, you can successfully create a double-sided mirror. However, the magic cast on an item will diminish over time.

There is no such problem with the double-sided mirror made by Blair Burst, and no one knows the secret so far.

"It's not surprising that many ancient crafts have been gradually lost or eliminated by the times, like the vanishing cabinets that were popular in the First Wizarding War."

"No sir, I think a lot of people get it wrong." Albert reminded kindly, "Actually, double-sided mirrors are still very popular. Take my couple at Hogwarts. For friends, after graduating from Hogwarts, they will definitely need a double-sided mirror to keep in touch, which is much faster than writing letters, what do you think?"

At this moment, everyone present was stunned, and then someone couldn't help laughing, nodding and saying, "You are right at all, but our old men's minds have become rigid."

Families can use double-sided mirrors to communicate with their children at Hogwarts, and couples can also use double-sided mirrors to communicate, just like video calls, but many people don't think of this.

"Mr. Anderson, you seem to be very interested in double-sided mirrors?" Adolph asked curiously, "Can you tell me why?"

“I think this technology is very promising,” explains Albert. “If I have a double-sided mirror, I can keep in touch with my family on time every week without taking the time to write letters. Mask, if you want to talk about some alchemy topics, you don't need to write a letter. Although the owl is convenient, it takes time to travel, and sometimes letters can't perfectly express a person's thoughts."

"In the Muggle world, there is a thing called a telephone that allows people in two places to communicate with each other through words, and the technology of the double-sided mirror is obviously a step further, bringing the distance between the two sides closer."

"Great idea." Adolf applauded, "If you want knowledge about double-sided mirrors, I don't mind sharing my research with you, maybe one day you can invent a better magic mirror, to Don't forget to write my name too!"

Hearing the last sentence, everyone couldn't help but laugh. They all knew it was just a joke, the wizards here didn't care much about fame and fortune, because they were so famous in the magic world.

"Thank you for your generosity." Albert bowed slightly towards the old wizard, "If one day, I will."

At this moment, everyone was quite surprised.

Magic is very convenient, wizards rarely have a sense of distance, if necessary, an Apparition, or Floo powder can reach the destination in a flash~IndoMTL.com~ This is also the reason why the double-sided mirror is gradually eliminated. One, people don't need it anymore.

However, such a technology still has many uses in Albert's eyes. It can only be said that there is a certain gap between the thinking modes of the two sides.

Albert glanced at his quest panel.

Lost Technology.

You came into contact with the knowledge of double-sided mirrors, and became interested in it, however, the technology has been conscious for many years, retrieve the technology, and recreate a pair of double-sided mirrors.

Rewards: 10,000 experience, 1 skill point, double-sided mirror skill level +1, magic circle reputation +500.

"What is the Vanishing Cabinet?" Albert asked again.

"The vanishing cabinet, like the double-sided mirror, has a pair, which acts as a passage between two places. If an object is placed in the vanishing cabinet, it will appear in the other vanishing cabinet." Answered this time His is Smith.

"The Vanishing Cabinet was very popular during the First Wizarding War, allowing people to escape when they were attacked by Death Eaters by appearing in another location."

"Of course, there are two problems with this kind of thing. The cost of making a pair of vanishing cabinets is too high, and the cabinets need to be repaired by professionals before they can be used again. People will use it."

The vanishing cabinet feels a bit like a portal to Albert, well, it's a portal.

It's just that the teleportation magic in the magical world is so developed that technology like the Vanishing Cabinet is directly forgotten by people. After all, the vanishing cabinet is too expensive and inconvenient compared to two scoops of Floo powder.

However, in Albert's eyes, every technology has its value, and the Vanishing Cabinet is no exception.
