Chapter 345: Chapter 345: Mind and Flesh Machine
Early June.
The first magic radar was finally completed.
In the outskirts of Staffordshire, six kilometers away from the "Foreign Mansion," a shell company purchased the area around a small hill, enclosed it with a several meters high wall, and released a large amount of Muggle Repelling Charms around the hillside.
However, considering the massive magical fluctuations from the magic radar, there was a possibility that the Muggle Repelling Charms might fail. Therefore, a semi-spherical mobile dome was still placed around the radar, which would only open when the radar was in use, to minimize the chances of being spotted by Muggles.
At this moment, in the control room, Murphy, Lucas, and a group of senior scientists from the magic research institute gathered to witness the final completion of this large magical technology device.
At nine o'clock in the evening, as darkness fell, Murphy said, "Let's begin."
After dozens of rounds of basic tests, Bernard Manning, the project leader of the magic radar, proficiently picked up the microphone, "Magic Energy Radar No. 1 test start, now beginning, power up!"
A row of indicator lights in front of Murphy began to light up one by one, each light representing a wizard in the radar's energy department. There were two hundred lights in total.
Two hundred wizards, following a pre-arranged sequence, took steady breaths and then channeled their magic into a magical metal conductor.
Soon, all twenty-five lights in each of the eight rows lit up.
"Energy department, magic output normal," a technician reported.
"Magic frequency modulation beginning," said Lucas next to Murphy, pressing a button beside him.
Instantly, two hundred streams of magic flowed into the modem at the base of the radar. Here, Lucas would modulate them uniformly, converging these two hundred fluctuating and unstable magic sources into one stable stream of magic.
After more than ten seconds, Lucas slightly relaxed, "Initial frequency modulation complete, radar entering launch-ready state."
The semi-spherical dome outside the radar opened to the sides, revealing the huge antenna within.
"Magic frequency: 30MHz, load the Essence Revealing Spell formula, scanning radius 1000 kilometers, scanning angle: full circle," Murphy said, "Begin scanning!"
Immediately, after Lucas modulated the magic again, it was uniformly modulated and then flowed into the main transmission antenna. An invisible wave spread out from the parabolic radar, instantly reaching thousands of kilometers away.
In an instant, the wizards within this scanning path felt a strange shudder.
The scan started from the west, covering England, Ireland, and parts of the Irish Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. Then, the scanning line rotated counterclockwise, crossing the Atlantic to reach France, then Switzerland, Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands, Denmark, and even the southern part of Norway, with the entire North Sea within the scanning range, finally returning to the west.
After half an hour, it scanned an area of one million square kilometers.
"Scanning complete, radar operation normal, our receivers located everywhere have received the radar signal, signal strength within the expected range," Bernard reported.
"Good," Murphy looked at Lucas, "How are the scanning results, how long will the analysis take?"
"Already analyzed," Lucas said, "There are more than twenty reflection points, but most are full reflection effects from strong magic areas like various countries' Ministry of Magic, Hogwarts, wizarding communities, etc. After excluding these interferences, currently, we've found three strong feedback locations, one in the North Sea, one in Germany, and one in Ireland."
"Oh? Mark these places, send out Prowlers to check, see what exactly they are."
The order was immediately arranged, and Lucas looked at him, "Teacher, what's next?"
Murphy thought for a moment. Relying on this human-powered radar to search for the constantly moving Holy Mother was a bit far-fetched, but its super-strong signal transmission capability could be used not only for magic scanning.
"Adjust the radar's direction, aim at France, I'll do an experiment."
A few minutes later, the radar was adjusted to the coordinates Murphy provided, magic was modulated again, and a wave of magic was sent towards the southeast.
Meanwhile, Murphy immediately took over the radar through Lucas's Mind Seed, mixing his own magic into the magic wave and sending it out. Then, he found a coordinate in the mind network.
After the magic traveled a thousand kilometers to the south of France and connected with that coordinate.
The next moment, his consciousness instantly crossed a thousand kilometers through this magic link and entered another person's mind.
...
France, Loire Valley, Murphy opened his eyes.
He took out a mirror and looked at himself.
He had become a middle-aged wizard with a pair of whiskers, wearing a flashy purple robe and a wizard's hat on his head that looked like a twisted shower cap.
Simon Tully, a French wizard spy who had been caught by him.
Murphy had planted a Mind Seed in his mind. Now, through the super-bandwidth, long-distance communication line established by the magic antenna, he had solved the problem of insufficient communication bandwidth of the Mind Seed and directly took control of this person's body.
The feeling was somewhat peculiar, like having another body, but the principle was simple. It was just turning the other person into a mind-flesh machine by using the Mind Seed, which had high-level root access to the other's mind.
He turned his head and looked around, finding himself sitting at a round table.
A fat man opposite was speaking, "I heard something happened on Dumbledore's side; several of his men died. He wanted to deal with Murphy but failed. I plan to initiate a vote to remove Dumbledore from the presidency; he's obviously gotten old and forgotten how to win a war."
"Agreed!"
"Agreed."
"Let's propose it at tomorrow's assembly. I can bring two more people over; passing the proposal shouldn't be a problem."
The fat man nodded, "I hope everyone can support me as the new president. I will persuade the federation to declare war on the British wizarding world. Of course, as a reward, after killing Murphy, everyone will get their share."
The group agreed again, and the fat man looked at Murphy, "What do you say, Simon?"
"I have no objections," Murphy said, "By the way, where is the federation meeting held tomorrow?"
"Are you confused again, have you been drinking too much?" The person beside him shook his head, "Orleans Castle, nine in the morning, don't get drunk again."
"Oh, no problem, how many wizards will come?"
"Removing and electing a president requires the approval of more than half of the federation's council members, at least a hundred people. Even if the president is absent, the proposal and removal agenda are still valid; we only need to notify our people. However, Dumbledore's loyalists will probably come to make trouble, but they are few in number and won't make a difference."
"Will Dumbledore come?"
"We'll make sure to keep him busy so he doesn't show up."
Murphy nodded, "So, those attending tomorrow are just us, who want to wage war and kill Murphy, and Dumbledore's loyal fans?"
Tsk.
This was really too courteous; he didn't even need to make two trips.
He had initially thought about controlling this mind-flesh chicken to
go to the meeting and blow himself up, but then he had a better idea.
Didn't the United States have two missile destroyers nearby?
Coming late, normal updates tomorrow.
