#173 - Chapter 173 Project Establishment
“The magic power of two people is completely the same?”
Hearing this question, the little wizards frowned slightly and fell into contemplation.
“There is an old saying among Muggles that there are no two leaves in the world that are exactly alike.”
Justin said hesitantly, “So, I don’t think there should be two people with exactly the same magic power.”
“I think this is a false proposition,” Fred disagreed with this statement. “No one can compare all the leaves, can they?”
“So, I don’t think we can completely deny that there will be two people with exactly the same magic power.”
“Agreed!” George echoed, “Although I haven’t tested it, I think Fred and I have the same magic power.”
“After all, we are twins with a telepathic connection.”
Several other little wizards joined the discussion, expressing their own opinions.
Clap—clap—clap—
Sebastian clapped his hands, attracting the attention of all the students.
“To understand this issue, we need to understand one thing first.”
“Magic power is generated by the soul and then stored in our bodies. The two are interdependent and indispensable.”
“Everyone’s soul is unique, so our magic power is also unique.”
“Fred, George, although you two are twins, in my eyes, your magic power still has subtle differences.”
Research in the magical world has always been lacking in this area.
Perhaps wizards are too accustomed to the existence of magic power, so most of the research is on various applications of magic power, and very few people study the essence of magic power.
But Sebastian is different. Having experienced the information bombardment of his previous life, he is very interested in the essence of magic power.
He really wanted to know if there were any differences in the magic power of different people.
Because, once it is confirmed that there are differences, then many alchemy projects can be put on the agenda.
For example, various alchemy projects related to security authentication.
However, the magical world does not have corresponding information, and Sebastian does not have suitable experiments to conduct research.
This question has been bothering Sebastian until his magic power perception talent grew again.
In his magic power perception, the magic power of different wizards is different. Even twins with the same blood and similar personalities have subtle differences in their magic power.
Sebastian discovered that from the moment all wizards are born, the essence of their magic power is already fixed.
As they age, only the total amount of magic power changes for wizards.
To use an inappropriate analogy, each wizard’s body is a container, and their magic power is the liquid in this container.
From birth, the type of liquid in this container is fixed.
As they age, the container will slowly grow larger, and the liquid inside will slowly increase, but the type of liquid will not change.
And the types of liquid are completely different and unique for different wizards.
Originally, Sebastian suspected that the generation of magic power was jointly determined by the wizard’s body and soul.
However, until last school year, Voldemort’s state made Sebastian realize that his previous inference was wrong.
At that time, Voldemort did not have any physical body, but was in a special state of soul that was neither alive nor dead.
But he still had magic power to cast spells, thus possessing Quirrell.
However, due to the lack of a physical body, his magic power was in a state of rootlessness.
Therefore, he desperately wanted to reshape his body and then return to his peak and make a comeback.
It was not until this time that Sebastian finally determined the relationship between magic power, soul, and body.
To be honest, he really wanted to publish this discovery as an academic paper.
However, due to the special existence of Voldemort, he had to give up this idea.
However, although he cannot publish a paper, various alchemy projects can all be put on the agenda.
Thinking of this, Sebastian looked at the students and said with a smile.
“Since everyone’s magic power is unique, then our magic power can become our unique identity mark.”
“Our alchemy project is based on this characteristic to create a security identification system for Hogwarts.”
“I understand,” Justin said excitedly, “According to your meaning, Professor, our magic power is similar to our fingerprints or irises, which are all unique.”
“Among Muggles, the access control of some special institutions is based on the uniqueness of fingerprints and irises for security settings.”
“Professor Swann, is the security identification system you want to create based on this consideration?”
“I heard my father say that the security systems in Muggles all need to collect fingerprint or iris patterns in advance and put them in an online computer database.”
“Then, only when the visitor’s fingerprint data completely matches the data in the database can they pass the corresponding access control.”
“However, these are all Muggle methods, and they are useless at Hogwarts. How will our alchemy project be implemented?”
Fred and George stared at Justin with shining eyes.
Merlin!
This Hufflepuff’s mind is so flexible that he can associate so much at once.
If they hadn’t been influenced by Muggle Studies, they wouldn’t have understood Justin’s meaning.
Now it seems that this little guy is smart, interesting, and can communicate more in alchemy in the future.
The professor’s project is also so interesting!
It is actually to create a brand-new security identification system for Hogwarts.
Once successful, it is estimated that everyone’s names and deeds will be recorded in the Hogwarts school history.
Faced with Justin’s question, Sebastian explained with a smile.
“Indeed, at Hogwarts, we can’t use computers or the Internet.”
“However, we wizards also have our own special methods, which is the magic contract.”
“In addition to extremely profound magic contracts such as the Fidelius Charm and the Unbreakable Vow, most ordinary magic contracts require special alchemy items as carriers.”
“For example, you should have all heard that the students in the Auror training class have signed confidentiality agreements. The carrier of that kind of agreement is a special parchment made through alchemy.”
Sebastian glanced around at the students with shining eyes.
“Our project needs to create a special identity tag for everyone, and then use this identity tag as a contract carrier to sign a time-limited magic contract with Hogwarts through it.”
“For example, little wizards sign a seven-year valid contract from the beginning of school.”
“By then, all Hogwarts members will need to undergo this identity authentication.”
“From professors to students, to house-elves, and even students’ pets, they will all be equipped with an identity tag.”
“Combined with an alarm system, we can make anyone without this contract on their body have nowhere to hide at Hogwarts.”
Merlin’s socks!
This sounds so cool.
The little wizards were eager to try and couldn’t wait to roll up their sleeves and get started.
Looking at the students’ energetic appearance, Sebastian reminded them.
“Achieving this goal is a challenge for all of us.”
“There is no magic rune in the magical world that can identify magic power, so my task is to create this magic rune.”
“I have a hunch that this magic rune will be very complex, so I will solve this most difficult task.”
“Your task is not easy either. You need to master various related knowledge such as alchemy materials, alchemy techniques, and magic runes within a year.”
“After you have learned the relevant knowledge, I will guide you in the refining of identity tags.”
“I will reasonably arrange everyone’s learning progress. If you encounter any problems, you can come to my office or find Fred and George, the two teaching assistants, to answer your questions.”
“Our alchemy club meets once every two weeks. During this period, I will list a reference book list for you to study on your own first.”
“At the next alchemy club, I will personally explain the key knowledge involved to everyone.”
“OK, it’s getting late, everyone go back to the dormitory.”
........................
In the following days, Sebastian was so busy that his feet didn’t touch the ground, constantly appearing in Muggle Studies, Auror training classes, and alchemy clubs.
In addition, he also spent a lot of time studying this brand-new magic rune. It can be said that his life was fulfilling and happy.
Days passed by day by day.
In the blink of an eye, Halloween arrived.
