Chapter 260 Time is like running water
Chapter 260 Time is like running water
The measures Sainz had prepared in advance were not used. Although it was his first time using the meditation bowl, he had the advantage of "foresight" after all.
Traveling through memory from a third-person perspective is like having an extremely clear and lucid dream, or like watching a live-action drama in which you participate.
Although it was new, he did not get lost as he had worried about. When the memory began to replay, it was like a movie starting from the beginning. "How could I get lost in this situation?"
Thinking of going out, his vision suddenly began to rise, as if he had walked down from the stage of a drama. When his consciousness returned, he felt his body and gently raised his head from the meditation basin.
"Conte, how long?"
"Two minutes, sir!"
"Okay, thank you, you can rest now, I'm fine."
"Yes sir, you can call me anytime, I'll be right next to you."
"I'm really fine, thank you."
Sainz lifted the magic, and the rope and capstan returned to their original state.
He could feel that even in the middle of a memory playback, he could exit at any time. As long as he thought about exiting, he could come out of the film or TV show easily.
Two minutes is the time he set, not the time contained in the memory. It is like a movie is two hours, but it does not mean that the time in the movie is also two hours.
He had deliberately made the memory transmission speed faster. If the time it took to reappear was the same as the time that had passed, then the significance of the Pensieve would be greatly reduced.
This is easy to understand. If he wants to master a knowledge point, it takes him two hours to read an article. If he recalls it in memory, it will also take him two hours. Since the time spent is the same, why doesn't he do it in reality? Why bother to put his head in a basin!
In fact, human memory is inherently time-compressed, and the process of reading memory in the mind is not a linear relationship from one to ten. Although there is no evidence to support this, Sainz believes that the process of reading memory in the mind is likely to be from one to ten, with ten numbers being read at the same time and then spliced together.
For example, some people who have lost their memory for some reason will remember a lot of things directly when their memory is restored, rather than recovering them bit by bit in chronological order from childhood.
After verifying the effectiveness of the Pensieve, Science began to study its principles in detail.
All the runes and glyphs above are his research targets.
There is another very important point. What exactly is the silvery-white substance in the basin that looks like water and smoke?
Is it the magical effect brought by the rune or something else.
When you are working hard, time will pass very quickly. Moreover, Sainz has several important projects to work on at the same time, so time is even more fleeting.
The space cabinet, the Gubler fairy fire, the meditation basin, any one of these items is enough to consume a wizard's entire mind.
The "glowing powder" that consumed a lot of his energy in the past two years has now been completely handed over to Conte. Even if it is put on the market now, it will be enough for the entire market to digest for a while.
After all, the magical world is not big, and there are many nostalgic people among it. It is impossible for all of them to change their lifestyles in a short period of time.
On the contrary, the American wizarding world, which has always been looked down upon by the British wizarding world, may be more accepting of things like electric lights and glow powder. Perhaps the breakthrough will lie there.
However, as can be seen from the names of the organizations in the magical world, the wizards on the other side of the sea are controlled more strictly and their lives are more depressing.
This side is called the Ministry of Magic, and that side is called the Magical Congress. Think about it carefully.
Apparently the European wizarding community generally does not consider itself a country, but only a part of a country, a special department within a country.
American wizards don't seem to think so. Their management organization is called the Magical Congress, which is equivalent to the Muggle Congress. Their organizational framework is more sophisticated, and the management of wizards must be more detailed.
If it happens to ordinary wizards, they will definitely feel more "helpless". This is also the reason why European wizards rarely go to the New World. The wizards here are generally used to being free and undisciplined, and they cannot adapt at all when they go there.
American wizards are more thoroughly controlled, which means that they behave more like Muggles in their daily lives. They are more likely to use Muggle items in their lives and are more accepting of Muggle items.
Similarly, the acceptance of new things will be higher.
Regarding the popularization of luminous powder, Sainz was not in a hurry. He invented this thing not to make money, but just to gradually infiltrate the magic world and test some so-called "families" or "organizations" hidden in the dark.
From the beginning to the end, what he was interested in was not their money, but the knowledge that they kept secret.
If you want to gain their knowledge, you must first be able to find them.
The luminous powder is a bait. When it gradually spreads throughout the magic world, the huge profits will attract many greedy guys. By then, they will take it out on their own initiative, or they will be "actively" taken out. It just depends on the individual choice.
Sainz was very busy, and his two roommates were also very busy. They had to face the first hurdle in their lives, the Ordinary Wizarding Level Examination.
Ben and Adam only had two elective courses, but they persisted for three years without giving up. Together with the required courses, there were a total of nine courses, and the examination workload was equally heavy.
Adam has been a little grumpy lately because there was some minor problem between him and his girlfriend who is a grade younger than him. As for the reason, anyone who has a girlfriend will understand.
On this day, Sainz met several Gryffindors in the hall. They met much less frequently this year than in previous years.
"Hey, Sainz, it's really hard to see you now!" Fred said jokingly, and George immediately agreed, "Don't say that, Fred, maybe he was just captured by a female ghost and just escaped recently!"
"Shut up!" Angelina shouted at the two people who were not in tune with her. "Hey, but it's true as they said. It's really not easy to see you now!"
"I am here……"
"I know," Angelina waved her hand to indicate that there was no need to explain. "Everyone knows that you are a Ravenclaw. You haven't shown up for such a long time. You must be hiding somewhere and studying hard!"
The twins rushed to say, "Please spare us! Do you want to drive Dumbledore out and become the headmaster yourself?"
Sainz smiled but said nothing. He greeted Alia Spinnett who couldn't get a word in. "Alia, how are you doing recently?"
Ailia seemed to have grown up and her sense of humour was higher than before. She said quietly, "What else can I do? I'm busy reviewing. You are relieved, but we still have to face this blow. But thank you for your information. It's much easier for us to review than other students!"
"Well, I'm glad I'm helpful!" Sainz signaled her not to be polite, and said to the other three, "What about you? Are you also busy with exams?"
"Yeah!" Angelina said irritably, "And Quidditch, Wood is just like crazy lately!"
The twins also complained about their Quidditch captain, and then took out a list as if presenting a treasure.
"Ding, ding, ding! Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes!"
