Vol 2 Chapter 881: Terrible Muggle

With the rapid development of the Muggle world, the speed of integration of magic and science is gradually accelerating.
As early as a few decades ago, everyone in the magic world was still dismissive of Muggles.
In the eyes of many wizards, Muggles is synonymous with weakness, ignorance, and backwardness, similar to barbarians.
Most of their knowledge of Muggles stayed in the Middle Ages, and they thought that the Muggles were still hunting the murderous witches and burning the wizards as they used to.
In the magic world, there have always been calls for using time converters to go back to the past to save the witch and change history.
But now, whether you are willing or unwilling to admit it, there are already many machine aspects of Muggle design that have entered the magic world.
For example, the printing machine used in the "Hogwarts Magic" was born on the Muggle design.
For example, the introduction of magic radio directly promoted the development of the radio industry.
The various industries corresponding to this have also developed rapidly, and the weird sisters are fired because of the radio.
There is also a flying motorcycle, which has just entered the magic world before Sirius has not been locked to Azkaban. It was a very common thing in the Muggle world. It became a luxury in the magic world and was once considered a flying broom. replacement of.
Ai Wen didn't know how much Sirius spent on the motorcycle, but it was definitely not a small amount.
You know, he used most of the aid that his uncle Alphad gave him.
Sirius once told Avon and Harry that after he left home, his uncle left him a considerable amount of gold.
In terms of the Black family's wealth base, what he calls "significant" is actually a lot of money.
Unfortunately, in the end, because of the new secrecy bill and the revision of the Magic Traffic Management Law, things such as flying cars and flying motorcycles are not allowed to be used. Those things flying around in the sky are easy to be discovered by Muggles.
The most direct impact of this, the wide-ranging integration of magic and science has come to an abrupt end, and is only popular in a small area.
This is the new policy promoted by Fudge in the early days of its establishment. It is also his biggest political move. He has been welcomed by many pure-blooded wizards. It is also a disguise of appeasement and compromise. It is conducive to internal stability in the magic world and easy to concentrate on post-war reconstruction. .
One of the core points of the conservative pure blood wizard family and Voldemort's theory of magical pure blood is the complete abandonment of Muggle technology. They even call for the conquest of the Muggle world and the destruction of these things called "technology."
If Voldemort completely ruled the magic world, it would be a morning and a night to fight Muggles.
This is really stupid, and Ai Wen agreed to strengthen management, but this one-size-fits-all approach is not worth promoting.
Whether you want to admit it, science and machines are developing very fast, and they have surpassed magic in many ways.
The magic world should actively introduce technology to promote the development of magical civilization.
If he has the ability in the future, he will definitely recommend that the Ministry of Magic re-edit the law and promote the integration of magic and scientific products, such as the introduction of computers, television, mechanical engines on the broomstick, and so on.
A few of them stared at the broken ticket vending machine for a long time, and finally bought a subway ticket from a sleepy administrator. The deal was mainly done by Ai Wen, Harry, Hermione, because The Weasley family did not quite understand the currency of Muggles, nor did they understand the purchasing power of the money.
Five minutes later, they boarded the subway, and the subway carried them to the center of London.
Mr. Weasley nervously checked the subway route on the window over and over again. Ron and Ginny looked as nervous as he was, and Fred and George looked at the Muggles who were not awake.
These people are ordinary office workers, and everyone has never seen so many Muggles.
"There are four stops, Harry, and there are still three stops. Well, there are two stops. Should we be ready to get off?" Mr. Weasley said excitedly.
Finally, they got off at a stop in central London.
The crowds were flowing, and they were pushed out of the subway by countless well-dressed men and women carrying briefcases.
At this point, the Weasleys were so excited that they kept looking around.
When using the escalator, it is even more talkative. The people around them look at their expressions, and they must have thought that these people came from the countryside. They have never seen the subway and escalators for a lifetime, otherwise they will not be so fussed.
Ai Wen had to remind Fred and George to be careful not to drop things out of their pockets...
They got on the escalator, passed through the check-in office, and there was another argument at the turnstile. Mr. Weasley was very happy to see the turnstile as he swallowed his ticket, and wanted to figure out the principle.
It took ten minutes for them to come to a wide street.
On both sides are majestic buildings, the streets are already busy, and the streets are full of people.
Not far away is a huge square with a huge electronic sign hanging on the outer wall of the towering building, with a variety of advertisements on it, high-rise buildings, signboards, and crowds of people, dazzling.
Ron opened his mouth and looked around in shock.
He used to go to King's Cross Station, but he never came to the center of London. He didn't imagine seeing such a stunning picture.
He looked up at the tall building and suddenly felt a little whirlwind, hurriedly grabbing Harry and not letting himself fall.
In his heart, it was the first time that Muggle was born so horrible...

It’s very fascinating, isn’t it?
Mr. Weasley said, looking around,
Where is it?

This sentence scared everyone, thinking that despite Mr. Weasley's frequent check of the subway road map, they still went to the wrong station.
It’s really bad, it’s so bad, seven wizards are stranded in central London...
Ai Wen is a bit familiar with the square, and his father’s corporate headquarters seems to be nearby.
But he hasn't been here for a long time, and he can't tell the difference between southeast and northwest.
He went to the Ministry of Magic last time, or from the fireplace in the Dumbledore office...
"Ah, I think of it, go here, kids!" said Mr. Weasley, leading them to turn and turn into a martyr.
"I'm sorry!" he said. "I never took the subway. And with Muggle's eyes, everything is completely different. It's really shocking. Actually, I haven't used the guest population before. ""
They walked forward, and after fifteen minutes, the buildings on both sides of the street were gradually less majestic.
Finally, they came to a bleak little street.
There were only a few offices that looked tattered, a tavern and a dump truck that was almost full of spills.
"We are here!" Mr. Weasley said happily.
"Is it here?" Harry thought the Ministry of Magic was in a much more arrogant place, just like the square just now.
