Chapter 300 Muggle World and Magical World

Douglas looked at the two people with admiration, and then said:

"It's a very good idea. If it were at Hogwarts, I would definitely give some points.

Then let me give you a little suggestion, based on the paper "Electricity and Magical Energy" which is at least one foot long.

Of course, this is not within the scope of the assignment, so whether you write it or not is entirely voluntary. "

The students below lowered their heads and rolled their eyes, still willing. They don't believe that Professor Holmes's words of voluntariness are really voluntary, so don't try it in writing.

"Has anyone noticed anything besides electricity and magic?"

Justin stood up and said:

"Professor, that monitoring device is similar to the memory charm that Professor Flitwick said. But the memory charm has a flaw. It must be seen by the person involved before it can be seen by others."

Douglas nodded without speaking, but looked at the other students. After all, the lower-level students had limited knowledge and could not say much.

But at this time, George and Fred also lowered their heads deeply. It was not that they had no ideas, but that they had too many ideas at this time.

First of all, this thing is useless to most wizards. Dark wizards must choose sparsely populated places to commit crimes. It is impossible to cover all places with surveillance.

Secondly, if this thing is really built, the first one to use it will definitely be Hogwarts. The Marauder's Map is something only a few people know about.

Even though there are so many portraits in the castle monitoring many places in the castle, the portraits basically only take orders from the Headmaster of Hogwarts.

If a surveillance camera is installed, haha, Mr. Filch will really be relaxed. As long as he sits in front of the surveillance camera, he will know who violates the school rules and there is no point in escaping.

If the school was more ruthless and arranged this around the Forbidden Forest, it would really be over. It would be absolutely accurate to catch them both.

Anyway, as long as this thing is born, it will do more harm than good to them. At this time, the two of them are already thinking about how to counter surveillance.

The current situation is such that I naturally think more deeply about what I can think of, and I can’t even scratch my head to think about the unexpected things.

After Douglas looked around, he guessed what some students were thinking and sneered...

"Is this Professor Holmes pretending to be Professor Snape?"

"This smile is so familiar."

Someone below started talking quietly.

Douglas suddenly changed his subject:

"If you don't have any ideas, let's continue with today's off-campus course, the history of the development of the Muggle world. Please watch the big screen."

After hearing Douglas's words, there was a sound of exhalation in the classroom... There were no further questions or assignments.

This is a short documentary that spans human society from the Stone Age to the collapse of the Soviet Union. The previous parts are all summarized, mainly from the Middle Ages, the Hellenistic period (ancient Greek civilization was spread to the West of Europe), the Western Roman Empire, the Byzantine Empire, and the Renaissance, which laid the foundation for the development of European science and technology, and the Industrial Revolution promoted technological progress. The scientific revolution ranged from Newtonian mechanics to relativity and quantum mechanics, as well as new technologies during the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union.

The reason why we focus on starting from the Middle Ages is mainly because the history of wizards in this world is more concentrated in the Middle Ages and the Industrial Revolution.

The wizarding world as we know it today was formed in the Middle Ages. During the Industrial Revolution, there was an initial integration of Muggle civilization and magical civilization.

The little wizards, who had never had this kind of video teaching experience, watched the content on the screen attentively.

Some young wizards even began to wonder if Muggles had mastered time magic and could intercept these clips from the past and play them to them. Or maybe there are people among Muggles who have passed down memories from ancient times.

The short video cannot tell the entire history of technological development in detail, and Douglas only gives students a general impression of technology in the Muggle world.

So as not to be like some wizards who still treat Muggles as those people in the Middle Ages who can be fooled at will.

Muggles also have powerful weapons. The war machines during World War II, the atomic bomb explosions and the ruins after the explosions, the moon landing images of the Apollo program, etc., shocked them.

Not only the little wizards from wizarding families were shocked, but even the little wizards from Muggles were equally shocked. After all, they had basically been separated from the knowledge of the Muggle world since they were eleven years old. What you can come into contact with are only common things in life.

The little wizards saw with their own eyes that after the Industrial Revolution, the medieval style that was originally the same as the magical world suddenly began to turn into various high-rise buildings.

Muggles' basic necessities of life are two extremes from those of the wizarding world. And they are still using steam locomotives from 150 years ago. In the Muggle world, steam locomotives have become an antique, diesel locomotives have begun to retire, and electric locomotives have begun to operate.

Douglas cleared his throat to bring the students back to their senses:

“In the wizarding world, magic is considered mysterious, while the scientific and technological civilization of the Muggle world is considered secular. The huge difference between the two has led to the general suspicion and resistance of technology in the Muggle world in the wizarding world.

Of course, the problem is not just that wizards think they can control Muggles and have a higher status than Muggles.

You have also seen that the progress of Muggle technological civilization not only affects the ecology of the Muggle world, but also affects the ecological balance of the magical world. The pollution and destruction caused by the development of science and technology have also caused the destruction of many magical creatures and items. The quantity and quality are affected. This is also the reason why many wizards resist Muggle technology.

I ask you to consider the technological civilization of the Muggle world that has had a profound impact on the magical world, including the destruction of ecological balance, changes in the quantity and quality of magical creatures and magic items, etc. Write an essay one foot long.

At the same time, if you are interested, you can overlap and study Muggle history and magical history. Maybe you can find something more interesting. "

The little wizards' heads were still confused at this moment, and they nodded numbly.

When the reaction came, it was another paper, and there was a cry.

Percy frowned, wondering what he was thinking.

Douglas didn't want to change the students' minds at once, he just wanted them to realize the gap between the Muggle world and the wizarding world.

There is no need to integrate the two worlds, but at least the magical world must learn to develop its own civilization instead of resting on its laurels. Many contents still remain hundreds of years ago.
