Chapter 259： Missing technology (1/2)
Albert knows nothing about the meeting between Dumbledore and the Le Mays. He is now madly absorbing the knowledge of alchemy mentioned at the party.
This time, it really came right.
Although everyone did not fully disclose their results, Albert still learned a lot of useful things, which can be described as a huge gain, directly reflected in the skyrocketing experience of alchemy skills.
Moreover, most wizards are willing to maintain owl contact with him. Albert naturally refuses to come, but he is very strange, when did he become the sweet bun in everyone's eyes?
Are they very optimistic about their future?
Albert quickly got rid of the extra thoughts in his mind and listened carefully to Adolf's explanation of the important principles of double-sided mirrors.
In fact, the double-sided mirror is not a secret in the magic world. However, the double-sided mirrors that were popular in the magic world have basically disappeared from the market.
”I have a question!” Albert waited until Adolf finished speaking and asked his doubts, ”Why are there basically no people selling double-sided mirrors now?”
”Mr. Anderson, as I just said, the manufacturing process of double-sided mirrors has disappeared for many years.” Adolf said regretfully.
”Actually, many people know the general principle of this magic mirror. However, after the death of its maker Blair Bosd, the technology to make double-sided mirrors disappeared, and no one can create Blair. Burst's double-sided mirror is gone.”
”As I said, double-sided mirrors were once popular in the magical world. At that time, there were still a large number of double-sided mirrors in the magical world. No one would make inferior products because they couldn't sell them.”
Later, with the damage of the double-sided mirror, the remaining quantity decreased, making it difficult to find double-sided mirrors on the market, and the manufacturing technology of double-sided mirrors has gradually been forgotten by people. Of course, the most important thing is Another point is that if you want to make a double-sided mirror, you must be proficient in both alchemy and transformation spells.
The essence of the magic mirror of the double-sided mirror is the advanced application of the change spell. However, there are very few wizards who can use it on the magic mirror.
Even if you are proficient in alchemy and change spells, you can successfully create a double-sided mirror. However, the magic released on items will weaken over time.
There is no such problem with the double-sided mirror made by Blair Bird. No one knows the secret of it.
”This is not surprising. Many ancient crafts have been gradually lost or eliminated by the times, just like the vanishing cabinets that were popular in the First Wizarding War.”
”No, sir, I think many people are mistaken.” Albert reminded kindly, ”Actually, double-sided mirrors are still very popular. Take a couple of my friends at Hogwarts as an example. After graduating from Hogwarts, they definitely need a double-sided mirror to keep in touch. This method is much faster than writing letters. What do you think?”
At this moment, everyone present was stunned, and then someone couldn't help but laughed and nodded and said: ”You are not wrong at all, but our old men have rigid thinking.”
Families can use double-sided mirrors to communicate with Hogwarts children, and couples can also use double-sided mirrors to communicate, just like video calls, but many people don’t think of this.
”Mr. Anderson, you seem to be very interested in double-sided mirrors?” Adolf asked curiously, ”Can you tell me why?”
”I think this technology is very promising.” Albert explained, ”If I have a double-sided mirror, I can keep in touch with my family on time every week instead of writing letters. If we have a double-sided mirror, If you want to talk about some alchemy topics, you don’t need to write letters. Although owls are convenient, they take time to communicate, and letters sometimes do not perfectly express one’s thoughts.”
