I am simply offering a suitable solution to a conflict that has existed for many years and is becoming increasingly intense.
After all, the conflict between wizards and ordinary people has existed since ancient times.
And as the latter's technological level becomes higher and higher, and the various weapons they produce become more and more powerful, the wizards have changed from their original condescending attitude to today's vigilance, tension and hostility.
The best example is that decades ago, Gellert Grindelwald's ideas spread throughout the European wizarding world, and countless people were willing to support him and even sacrifice their lives for him.
The reason why so many wizards collectively go to extremes is the result of tremendous external pressure.
And the pressure itself comes from threats, huge threats that involve life and death.
Although from World War II to the present, the wizarding world has adopted many strategies to ease conflicts.
For example, suppressing arrogant pure-blood families, absorbing a large number of half-blood wizards and even wizards from ordinary families, etc.
But contradictions are contradictions. They may be temporarily eased or diverted, but they will never disappear.
It will hide like a landmine in a place where no one can see it, patiently waiting for a foot to step on it and then explode with a bang.
This is what is bound to happen if the root cause is not addressed.
I can understand your conservative tendency to want to maintain the status quo and not want drastic changes in the wizarding world.
But the problem is that if some things are delayed, they will eventually spread like a festering sore until the anger and dissatisfaction accumulate to a certain level and cause the collapse of order.
While you are alive, you may be able to suppress this voice with your powerful magical power, just as you suppressed Gellert Grindelwald and Voldemort twice.
But what if you die one day? If I remember correctly, you never planned to take the elixir of life, but were ready to accept the coming of death one day in the future.
Most importantly, the world of ordinary people is about to usher in an unprecedented information revolution.
Faced with the power of this technological explosion, wizards can no longer rely on previous methods to cover their tracks.
Because as long as one person captures the existence of magic through a device, it will be quickly uploaded to the social platform via the Internet within ten seconds to half a minute, and then hundreds of thousands, millions or even tens of millions of people will watch it in just ten minutes.
And as these devices become cheaper and more common, the risk of exposure will increase exponentially.
Considering the number of wizards in the magic world, is it possible to cast the Oblivion Spell on so many people one by one? Even if the staff of the Ministry of Magic were asked to work overtime until they died, it would be absolutely impossible to do it.
The only way out is to take advantage of the properties of the sparkling oil and use magic to influence and control technological creations.
In this way, no matter what the world of ordinary people outside becomes, even if they fly out of the earth to embark on a journey to the sea of stars, wizards can still live comfortably in their own small circle.
Especially when the entire human population expands to tens of billions, hundreds of billions, and trillions, the magic world can still continue to exist as an insignificant secret society. "
Zuo Si fully expounded his point of view in a leisurely tone.
Because he knew that although the old man in front of him was conservative and stubborn, he was quite rational and wise, and he would definitely understand the subtext of the message.
On Earth today, the battle between magical civilization and technological civilization has lasted for thousands of years, and it is clear that the latter has won.
Although many pure-blood families are too arrogant to admit this.
But facts speak louder than words.
Technological civilization can still survive tenaciously even under the destruction of nuclear weapons.
But the wizards' civilization would be destroyed if it were attacked by one surprise attack.
Especially since the population, which was originally not very large, died in large numbers and even became a chasm, it would be extremely difficult to recover.
Therefore, what the magic world urgently needs to consider is never how to develop and grow itself, but to ensure that the current balance will not be suddenly broken as the gap in power between the two sides becomes larger and larger.
Dumbledore lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then quickly asked, "Why do I have to take the lead? With your current fame, you can definitely push this matter forward yourself.
And once you succeed, you will become the savior of the wizarding world and gain unparalleled fame, wealth and power.
Especially those pure-blood families, they will even worship you like a hero.
Because this creation called Shuoyou proves from a certain perspective that the power of magic is far more powerful and superior than technology."
Zuo Si chuckled and shook his head: "Because what you just mentioned is not what I want.
Otherwise I wouldn't have suddenly disappeared a few years ago and completely cut off contact with everyone.
What's more, I don't have enough time and energy to guide and monitor this reform that concerns the future survival of the wizarding world.
But you are different.
You are already the most powerful wizard and leader in the wizarding world, and you have many respected students and friends who can help you.
So it would be most appropriate for you to come forward.
Of course, if you refuse I can try to find someone else.
For example, the current Minister of Magic Umbridge is a good choice."
Hearing this, Dumbledore's expression froze instantly.
He suddenly realized that he seemed to have no choice.
If Umbridge were to do this, given this woman's greed for power and fame, it would definitely end in chaos.
Not to mention uniting the entire wizarding world to promote reform, they might even start fighting each other.
So after thinking for a long time, the old man sighed helplessly: "Alas - you really gave me a difficult problem. Let me give me a few days to think about it. I need to confirm what this creature called Shuoyou is first."
"No problem. This is the spell to control the Shining Oil and destroy its creations. You just have to make the decision before I leave."
After saying that, Zuo Si placed the two sealed scrolls on the desk, then turned around and left without looking back.
Because at this moment he had already foreseen the outcome.
This is determined by Dumbledore's strong sense of responsibility and mission to the wizarding world.
For a matter of such importance, the principal would certainly not let anyone else do it. He is even more afraid that another ambitious guy would emerge and seize power to repeat the tragedy of the past.
To sum up, he had no choice but to step forward and take on this dangerous and heavy responsibility.
As for researching Shuo Oil, Zuo Si was not worried at all.
To be exact, he didn't think that the wizards in this world could figure out the complex ingredients and mysteries inside, not even the most famous alchemist Nicolas Flamel was an exception.
Having resolved another worry, Zuo Si walked out of the principal's office in a very happy mood and strolled along the corridor inside the castle.
But before they had walked far, they saw a girl with long hair, wearing a shirt and a short skirt blocking the path to the stairs. It was Hermione Granger herself.
Behind her was a group of students waiting for the excitement.
"Long time no see, you seem to have become much more mature."
Zuo Si was the first to break the silence and greeted with a smile, while looking at the other party with interest.
Anyone who has experienced puberty knows that the physical development of both boys and girls is extremely rapid during this stage.
Often after returning from a holiday, many classmates’ height and appearance will have changed so much that they may be unrecognizable.
Not to mention we hadn't seen each other for several years.
The girl in front of him had long since completely lost her childishness. Not only was her height around 1.65 meters, but her figure had also become curvy due to her long-term consumption of large amounts of meat, eggs, and milk, as well as her frequent use of the time converter.
If you judge only by her appearance, people would believe she is 18 or 19 years old or even in her early 20s.
Of course, Zuo Si's appearance in human form has also changed a lot. Two years ago, he looked like a young man.
"Yeah. You left and I had no news for several years. Of course you felt that I had changed a lot when you saw me again."
Hermione held the books and notes in her hands, her eyes revealing a mixture of excitement, surprise and resentment.
Although she knew that her boyfriend came from another world and had a huge floating city to manage, he must have had his own reasons for suddenly disappearing for several years.
Understanding is one thing, emotional acceptance is another.
“I’m so sorry.
I have been very busy recently. Not only do I have to face many powerful and troublesome enemies, but I also have a lot of things to do.
If you're interested, we can find a time to talk privately.
How about we have dinner together tonight? I asked North to prepare a sumptuous dinner at home."
Zuo Si extended the invitation politely.
With his current "level", it is easy for him to resolve the resentment of a girl who is neglected.
What's more, his powerful charm makes his every move have an inexplicable attraction to the people around him.
Usually, it only takes a few words and a few intimate actions to make the target deeply addicted.
In this regard, Zuo Si conducted relevant experiments in the Grey Eagle World and even conquered the hearts of all the ladies and young ladies in a city.
"Okay. Then we'll meet at dinner time."
Hermione's face flushed slightly, and after giving an affirmative answer, she immediately turned and walked towards the Gryffindor common room.
It was obvious that she had been affected by her extremely high charm value, and her mind was full of thoughts about which dress she should wear to appear more beautiful and attractive on a date.
As for the students who were watching the excitement, they were obviously disappointed when they saw that what they expected did not happen.
Especially those Gryffindor girls who were in adolescence and were restless and wanted to see some exciting scenes, they all followed Hermione to the girls' dormitory and started chattering and making suggestions.
Some helped her with makeup and dressing, some helped her choose clothes, and some shared their experiences in dating other boys, encouraging her to completely win over Zuo Si tonight.
In short, in Hogwarts, a boarding school for magic, if a girl hasn't had anything going on with the opposite sex by the fifth or sixth grade, it's basically because she's not pretty enough or she's too withdrawn or weird.
Just wait until dusk or night and take a stroll in the dense grass and woods around the castle, and you can easily catch several pairs of disheveled men and women.
Many couples get married and start a family right after graduation and quickly have children.
After all, the magical world has such a pitiful population.
Taking age into consideration, there aren't many options available.
And school happens to be the perfect place to solve the major issues in life.
First of all, the students here are all about the same age, so even if they are dating across grades, the age difference will not be more than three years; secondly, Hogwarts is one of the three most famous schools in Europe, and anyone who is admitted will not be too bad in talent. As long as they graduate successfully, they will definitely find a stable job and don’t have to worry about their livelihood;
Finally, the boarding system does not require parents to be around to constrain students, and it is impossible for professors to keep an eye on students 24 hours a day, which naturally provides a suitable environment for teenagers to fall in love.
While waiting, Zuo Si visited his old friend Snape, and also talked to Harry Potter, who already had three fathers and was having a headache because of the complicated family relationships.
The former, thanks to the nourishment of love, marriage and family, has completely lost her previous coldness. Instead, she always has a friendly smile on her face, and even her personality has changed greatly.
In comparison, the savior is much more miserable.
Although his biological parents, whom he dreamed of seeing, had all been resurrected, and he even had a half-brother and half-sister, and his godfather, Sirius Black, loved him very much, he just couldn't be happy at all.
Because the relationship between the biological father, godfather and stepfather is very bad, to the point where they would quarrel or even fight whenever they meet.
The mother, who had lost her memory, was full of contempt and disgust for her ex-husband's frequent visits to find fault and provoke her, and she completely stood on Snape's side.
What's worse is that both sides are now forcing Harry to make a choice.
Should I choose a father or a mother, a godfather or a stepfather...
This was completely opposite to the harmonious and happy family atmosphere he had imagined.
Under Zuo Si's interference, Harry Potter's attitude completely changed 180 degrees from his original desire for family and love, and he began to reject and fear the concept of family.
Every holiday season brings us to the first difficult and painful choice.
No matter which side you choose, the other side will be unhappy.
His former good brother Ron worked hard and not only became a class leader, but also got rid of the image of a savior's follower and became the second in the grade after Hermione.
Facts have proved that after people get rid of inferiority, they can often release tremendous energy that they cannot even imagine, and even completely change the trajectory of their lives.
Time flies, and a few hours pass in a flash.
After walking around the magic castle twice again, Zuo Si finally waited for the girl who was dressed in a dress.
He looked at it with interest, then asked in an uncertain tone: "Do you need clothes like this in Hogwarts?"
"This was custom-made during the semester of the Triwizard Tournament. It may seem a little small now. How about it? Isn't it beautiful? I was expecting you to suddenly show up at some point during the ball."
Hermione gently shook the hem of her skirt to reveal a section of her smooth calf underneath.
At the time, this dress covered all the way to the instep and was a loose and solemn style.
But now, it gives people a tight and frivolous feeling.
"It is indeed very beautiful, and it suits your temperament very well. Come, hold my hand, I am going to use magic to teleport."
After saying that, Zuo Si took the initiative to stretch out his right hand.
"Magical teleportation? Inside Hogwarts Castle!"
The girl subconsciously reached out and grabbed it, revealing an expression of great surprise.
After all, everyone knows that Apparition is not allowed near the school, even Headmaster Dumbledore is no exception.
"Don't worry, I'm not using Apparition, or even a magic spell from this world. Remember not to resist, or you might end up in an awkward situation where I teleport you away while you're still there."
As these words came out of his mouth, Zuo Si raised his head and glanced at Dumbledore who was standing by the window in the distance and looking at him, then raised his hand and snapped his fingers lightly.
Snap! Instantly, a strong wave of magic was released from the fingertips, and then the two were enveloped by a white light and disappeared without a trace.
"Albus, did you see that? He actually ignored the restrictions of the spells around Hogwarts Castle."
Professor McGonagall's tone revealed an undisguised shock.
Because she always believed that school was an absolutely safe haven and no one could suddenly break in and hurt the students.
Dumbledore nodded slightly: "Ah, I see.
That is a way of casting spells that is completely different from the spell system in the magical world.
Very complex, but also very subtle.
It seems that Soth has more secrets than I thought.
Moreover, he personally admitted today that during the years he disappeared, he went to a very far away place, so far away that it was beyond the cognition of anyone in this world.
Combined with the unique strengthening magic used by Miss Granger, as well as those interesting magic props, I think we can draw a conclusion."
"So what action do you plan to take?" Professor McGonagall asked nervously.
"No, of course not. Soth has no ill intentions, at least I don't feel that now. But being able to venture into an unknown world is really enviable."
There is no doubt that after such a long period of observation, Dumbledore finally confirmed that Zuo Si definitely has the ability to travel to other worlds.
After all, the latter gave a rather explicit hint directly during this conversation.
In this way, those epoch-making inventions and creations can be explained.
Thinking of this, the old man lowered his head and glanced at the shiny oil in his hand, with a strange light flashing in his eyes.
"Another world?"
Professor McGonagall couldn't help but sound a little longing.
No wizard can resist the temptation to explore another magical world, and they are no exception.
…
After all the dishes were served, he raised his glass and said with a smile: "Cheers to our reunion!"
"cheers!"
The girl cooperated very well and raised her glass and clinked it lightly, then took a sip elegantly and started eating.
Since she comes here to stay for more than ten days every year, she doesn't feel restrained at all, as if she is at home.
To be precise, she lived here much longer than the owner of the house, Zuo Si.
During the meal, the two of them quickly relaxed and chatted about their experiences in recent years.
Hermione gave a brief account of what happened in school, especially the details of her battle of wits with two other school representatives in the Triwizard Tournament.
Zuo Si selectively talked about some things that happened in the continent of Faerun.
When the girl learned that he was facing legendary dragons, gods, demons, ancient evil creatures, terrible enemies that only appeared in myths, the resentment in her heart completely disappeared, and was replaced by tension and concern.
"You weren't injured or in any danger of life?"
Hermione asked, staring at the hand that was wrapped in the iron glove from beginning to end and never taken off.
Zuo Si shook his head slightly and explained, “Getting injured in battle is inevitable.
But it's still far from life-threatening.
In fact, even if I were killed, I wouldn't really die. I would just lose a clone.
As for this hand, it is not because of injury, but because of some other reasons that it has to be temporarily sealed, so don't worry.
哦，对了，我还给你带了一件礼物。”
说话的功夫，左思从随身的口袋里取出了一个精美的小盒子放在桌子上推到少女的面前。
“这是……”
赫敏打开盖子的瞬间看到了一只古埃及风格的漂亮银色蛇形臂环，表面不仅有十分精美的花纹，而且还镶嵌了两颗一看就价值连城的绿宝石，是佩戴在大臂肱二头肌附近的那种。
“戴上试试。”
左思放下手里的餐具，抿起嘴角做了个请的动作。
在好奇心的驱使下，少女拿出臂环套在了右边的胳膊上。
瞬间！
她感觉到了有一股强大的力量涌入身体。
仅仅一秒钟之后，臂环上的两个宝石当场开始发亮，随后一层无形的力场将双手和双脚包裹起来。
很显然，这是一件专门为其量身定做且攻防一体的高阶魔法物品。
作用也非常直观，就是给手脚套上力场防护，既能用来抵挡物理攻击，也能在使用强化魔法近战的时候避免因为用力过猛而受伤。
“谢谢，很棒的礼物，我非常喜欢。”
赫敏稍微用力挥舞了两下拳头，感受着那一层肉眼无法观察到的力场立马喜出望外。
对于她来说，这个臂环起到的作用可太大了。
要知道在此之前，少女私下里测试身体可以承受何种程度的强化魔法时，手指、脚趾、脚背和小腿没少出现骨裂骨折的情况。
甚至都不敢让同学、教授与父母知道，只能强忍着疼痛用治疗魔咒偷偷给自己接骨。
但是现在，有了这一层力场防护，她终于可以放开手脚把强化魔法的威力发挥到极致。
“不用客气。”
左思不以为意的耸了耸肩膀。
因为制造这玩意是在看到那张报纸上的动态照片后才临时起意制作的，并没有花费多少时间和精力。
就在赫敏张开嘴还想要说点什么的时候，家养小精灵诺斯突然从外面跑了进来，气喘吁吁指了下餐桌旁边摆放的电视。
“主……主人，有一则您之前提到要特别关注的新闻眼下正在播报。”
“哦？这么快吗？那就打开看看吧。”
左思明显感到了十分意外。
诺斯二话不说，立刻以十分熟练的动作插上电源，然后拿起遥控器按下开关并选择新闻频道。
从熟练的动作不难看出，他对于操作这种普通的电器已经相当熟练。
事实上为了生活便利，这栋房子经过重新装修改造之后，各种现代化的电器一点都不少。
也正因为如此，赫敏才会每个假期都来住上一段时间。
随着电视被调到新闻频道，左思很快便听到了主持人用美式英语的播报。
内容也不复杂，就是某人碰巧在新墨西哥州的沙漠深处发现了一个储量惊人的大油田。
但根据科学家的研究发现，这里边存储的并不是普通的石油，而是某种类似外星科技或者史前文明造物一样的神秘物质。
为了证明这一点，电视上的科学家还做了具体的演示，以及油脂在电子显微镜下呈现出密密麻麻大小完全一致的黑点。
任何光学与电子仪器都无法搞清楚这些黑点内部究竟隐藏了什么。
紧跟着这位主持人又对包括总统在内的多位高官和议员进行了采访。
看着那些夸夸其谈大放厥词的无耻政客，还有高呼这是伟大神明赐福证明的神棍，左思翘起嘴角浮现出讽刺的笑容。
他很好奇，如果这些家伙知道烁油并不是什么神的赐福而是来自魔鬼的馈赠会作何反应。
不得不说，在赢得冷战胜利的这几年时间，身为地球唯一超级霸权国家的鹰酱是真的膨胀到了极致。
连发现烁油这种跨时代的东西都没有丝毫想要保密的意思，反而大大方方的展示出来好让全世界都看到。
只可惜他们丝毫没有意识到，烁油的出现对现有科技体系的冲击有多么恐怖。
甚至会直接摧毁发达国家在技术与科研领域自第一次工业革命以来建立的领先优势。
当军事与科技实力被烁油抹平之后，接下来全球将陷入一场史无前例的群雄争霸。
现如今那些造价昂贵的航母编队会变成海上飘着的活靶子，先进的喷气式战机也有可能会被非洲黑叔叔们的游击队击落。
由于烁油中存储着大量的科技知识，因此即便是什么都不懂的人，也能够靠着往里边乱丢废料与垃圾尝试着制造武器。
而且造出来的武器威力一点都不差。
可以预见，用不了多久烁油就会像核材料一样成为受到严格管制的东西。
搞不好五大善人会像处理热核武器一样，逼着各国签一份烁油不扩散条约，然后把全世界的烁油产地全部控制起来内部分赃。
那些不甘心就这样受制于人的小国肯定会千方百计的搞到烁油进行研究，甚至是建立属于自己的烁油储备。
未来几十年，整个地球都会围绕着烁油展开激烈争斗。
更有趣的是，由于烁油的存储信息在同一个时空是互通的，所以无论各国如何努力进行研究都永远无法拉开代差。
当一个国家创造出了新的技术，烁油便会把这项技术存储下来并无限复制。
其他有烁油的国家自然也用不了多久便能获得。
到时候几大强国为了拉开与竞争对手的差距，必然会玩命的内卷，最终由量变到质变形成科技大爆发。
左思则能不费吹灰之力白嫖所有的成果。
甚至严格意义上来说，这个未来完全建立在烁油之上的人类文明就是属于他的。
“电视上报道的这种像石油一样的东西是你弄出来的？”
赫敏在看完新闻后立刻忍不住问了一句。
左思轻轻点了下头：“是的。我打算用它来同时解决两个问题。一个是魔法界的巫师们在科技越来越发达的今天缺乏安全感，另外一个就是普通人世界未来可能会出现的能源危机。”
少女似乎意识到了什么，挑起眉毛追问道：“你是说……巫师可以通过咒语控制这些神秘物质和它们的造物？”
“完全正确。我已经把咒语给了邓布利多校长，接下来等着看他的表演就好。”
左思拿起餐巾擦了擦嘴角，然后端起杯子将剩下的饮料一饮而尽。
“该死！你知道自己弄出了一种多么惊世骇俗的东西吗？”
得知真相的赫敏目瞪口呆。
或许那些缺乏科学常识的巫师们不清楚烁油的意义与价值，可从小接受自然科学教育的她怎么可能会不知道。
那可是相当于取之不尽用之不竭的无限能源！ 足以让整个世界陷入疯狂！ 这甚至比那颗能让人死而复生的魔法石更令人感到震撼。
左思漫不经心的笑着回应道：“呵呵，冷静点，别那么激动。
我当然知道烁油意味着什么，以及它会给这个世界带来的变化。
不过究竟要如何使用还是得看各个国家的政府和统治阶级。
很多时候科技的进步并不一定意味着平民的日子会更好过，也有可能会变得更加艰难。
还记得英国工业革命时期，那些活活累死在矿井和工厂里的童工、女工吗？
甚至就连奴隶商人在亲眼目睹了煤矿里的恶劣工作环境后都会忍不住哭泣，觉得那些工人活得甚至比不上种植园里的奴隶。
永远不要高估统治阶级的道德底线，同样也不要低估他们的冷酷、贪婪与残忍。
世界的未来究竟是会变得更好还是更坏现在还仍未可知。
但有一点可以确定，那就是人类即将迎来星际探索与殖民时代。
或许若干年以后，我们可以做着宇宙飞船在太阳系乃至银河系内遨游，去其他星球定居。”
“你说的有道理，我承认自己好像有点太过于乐观了。”
一听到英国工业革命时期的童工和女工，赫敏这个老伦敦正米字旗立马不由自主的打了个哆嗦，脑海中回想起自己在某本书籍中看到的那些骨瘦如柴的黑白照片。
与许多在快乐教育下长大、根本没有读过这类专业性书籍的同龄人相比，她显然知道脚下这个国家的资产阶级在长达两三百年的历史中干了多少丧心病狂的事情。
不光是对殖民地的土著居民，同样还有本国的国民。
最可笑且无比讽刺的还是那群当年受尽痛苦、折磨平民的后代，眼下居然会畅想维多利亚时代有多么的美好，并且效仿贵妇们穿着复古的束胸裙聚在一起喝下午茶，哀叹大英帝国在第二次世界大战之后迅速的衰落。
殊不知，在那个人吃人的年代，像她们这种成分只能在工厂里日夜不停的劳作，为维护帝国统治上层资本家和贵族们的利益流尽最后一滴血和泪。
After pondering for a long time, Hermione sighed in a low voice: "Compared to the world of ordinary people, the wizarding world is still a little simpler. Even the most annoying Draco is just a spoiled rich young master."
"Well, there's no need to be so sentimental. After all, you can always choose to integrate into any world, right?"
Zuo Si reached out and gently stroked the girl's cheek.
Hermione seemed to get an electric shock, and her face suddenly flushed. She quickly picked up the cup and took a sip of the drink to hide her inner nervousness and panic.
But soon, she was amused by her own clumsiness, and while laughing she complained, "It's all your fault. You haven't been seen for several years, and I don't know how to react in this situation."
"Then let me help you recall it."
After saying that, Zuo Si stood up, took the girl's hand, walked to the balcony outside, looked up at the starry sky above their heads, then hugged her from behind, with their cheeks pressed tightly together.
The house-elf North obviously realized what was going to happen tonight and quickly turned off the TV, cleared the dining table, and dimmed the lights in the bedroom as much as possible.
After doing all this, he returned to his little room contentedly.
After about half an hour, the two people who had finished warming up on the balcony walked into the room hand in hand to start the long-awaited show.
After a while, strange noises could be heard faintly from inside.
…
Almost at the same time, on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean in North America, a secret war for crude oil had already begun.
Intelligence personnel, spies and agents from various countries gathered in New Mexico, and even drug lords operating along the border were drawn in.
Since the United States is currently the only country that has publicly announced that it has discovered oil, it has naturally attracted the attention of the world.
At this moment, allies, human rights, freedom, and democracy are all bullshit. Common values are just to fool brainless idiots.
The real thing is to get a sample of the oil.
After all, it is common for allies to eavesdrop on each other, stab each other, and expose each other's secrets on the international stage.
Some of these people spent large sums of money to bribe the soldiers stationed nearby to block the scene, some used beauty tricks to seduce the scientific researchers, and some directly sent small teams to sneak in and steal secretly.
Anyway, they are all like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each showing their magical powers.
Because the incident happened suddenly, the number of soldiers at the nearby military base was not enough, so there were many loopholes in the security of the base.
The direct result was that within just one night, the oil appeared in the secret laboratories of major powers around the world.
After they witnessed the properties of this substance with their own eyes, all the leaders, without exception, gave orders to their own geological experts to immediately search for petroleum ether on a global scale. At the same time, they also threw things into the petroleum ether in the laboratory in an attempt to make it multiply rapidly.
However, under normal circumstances, the proliferation rate of Shuo Oil is not very fast.
It would take at least several years for a few drops or a small bottle to expand to the size of a lake.
The reason why Zuo Si could make the Shuo Oil multiply so quickly was, on the one hand, that he could completely control the Shuo Oil with his own will, and on the other hand, that he injected a lot of energy.
Of course, those who study sparkling oil include not only the major powers on Earth, but also wizards in the magical world.
Dumbledore was standing in front of the alchemy test bench at this moment, staring at the shiny oil that was poured out and placed in the vessel, and the alchemist Nicolas Flamel who was testing it with some magical tools next to him.
After about three to five minutes, he asked cautiously, "How is it, have you figured out the composition and function of these liquids?"
Nicolas Flamel took off his glasses, rubbed his dry eyes, and shook his head bitterly: "Unfortunately, no.
The ingredients here are too complicated.
So complex that it's far beyond my level of alchemy.
I can detect energy in it, very, very amazing energy.
But this is only the smallest part; the rest are the real challenges that need to be overcome.
I can't believe that after just a few years, Soth's alchemy has reached such an incredible level."
“Can’t you even test the ingredients?”
Dumbledore was visibly surprised.
Because this was the first time he saw this old senior show such an expression in his field of expertise.
“You don’t understand.
These sticky oils are more than just a limitless energy source that devours matter to increase its own size.
At the same time, it stores a vast ocean of knowledge.
It even has its own memories and consciousness.
What is even more incredible is that it realizes the equal transformation of energy and matter without any consumption in alchemy, and can give creations a certain intelligence.
I have lived for hundreds of years, and this is the first time I have seen such an incredible thing. "
While saying this, Nicolas Flamel's tone became obviously very excited. Even though he hadn't slept for most of the night, he still didn't feel sleepy at all. Instead, he sounded like an energetic young man of eighteen or nineteen years old.
