With the rapid development of the Muggle world, the integration of magic and science was gradually accelerating.
As early as a few decades ago, people in the magic world still disdained Muggle.
In the eyes of many Wizards, Muggle was synonymous with weakness, ignorance, and backwardness, similar to barbarians.
Their understanding of Muggle was mostly stuck in the Middle Ages, and they thought that Muggle was still capturing, humiliating, and burning Wizards like in the past.
There were even people in the magic world who had been calling for the use of a time converter to go back in time to save Witches and change history …
But now, whether they were willing to admit it or not, many machine-related things designed by Muggle had entered the magic world.
For example, the printing press used by the Hogwarts Magic Newspaper was an improvement on the Muggle design.
Another example was the introduction of magic radios, which directly promoted the development of the radio industry.
Corresponding to this, various industries also developed rapidly, and the Weird Sisters became popular because of the radio.
There was also the flying motorcycle, which had just entered the magic world before Sirius was imprisoned in Azkaban. It was originally a very common thing in the Muggle world, but it became a luxury in the magic world, and was once considered a substitute for the flying broom.
Elwyn didn't know how much Sirius had spent on that motorcycle, but it was definitely not a small amount.
After all, he had used most of the assistance given to him by his uncle Alfard on this motorcycle.
Sirius had once told Elwyn and Harry that after he ran away from home, his uncle had left him a considerable amount of gold.
Based on the wealth of the Blake family, his so-called "considerable" was actually a very large amount of money.
Unfortunately, in the end, because of the new confidentiality bill and the revision of the magic traffic management law, things such as flying cars and flying motorcycles were not allowed to be produced and used, and those things flying in the sky were easily discovered by Muggle.
The most direct impact of this was that the large-scale integration of magic and science came to an abrupt end, and it was only popular in a small area.
This was the new policy that Foggy had pushed for when he first came to power, and it was also his biggest political move. It was welcomed by many pure-blooded Magi, and could be regarded as a disguised form of appeasement and compromise. It was beneficial to the internal stability of the magic world, and it would make it easier to concentrate on post-war reconstruction.
The Pure Blood Sorcerer Family and Lord Voldemort advocated the Pure Blood Sorcerer Theory. One of the core points was the complete abandonment of Muggle technology. They even called for the conquest of the Muggle World and the destruction of these so-called "technologies".
If the Lord Voldemort were to rule the World of Magic, it would only be a matter of time before he declared war on Muggle.
This was too stupid. Elwyn agreed to strengthen management, but this kind of one-size-fits-all approach was not worth advocating.
Whether one was willing to admit it or not, science and machines were developing very quickly and had already surpassed magic in many aspects.
The magic world should actively introduce technology to promote the development of magic civilization.
If he had the ability in the future, he would definitely suggest to the Ministry of Magic to revise the law to promote the integration of magic and scientific products, such as the introduction of computers, televisions, the use of mechanical engines on broomsticks, and so on.
They stared at the broken ticket vending machine for a long time, and finally bought a subway ticket from a sleepy attendant. The transaction was mainly done by Elwyn, Harry, and Hermione, because Weasley's family did not quite understand the currency of Muggle, nor did they understand the purchasing power of the money.
Five minutes later, they boarded the subway, which carried them clattering towards the center of London.
Mr. Weasley nervously checked the subway route map on the window over and over again. Ron and Ginny looked as nervous as he was, while Fred and George looked unscrupulously at the sleepy Muggle.
They were all ordinary office workers, and they had never seen so many Muggle before.
"Four more stops, Harry, three more stops. Well, two more stops. Should we get ready to get off? "Mr. Weasley said excitedly.
Finally, they got off at a station in the center of London.
The crowd was like a tide, and they were pushed out of the subway by countless well-dressed men and women carrying briefcases.
At this point, Weasley's family was so excited that they kept looking around.
When they used the escalator, they could not stop talking. Judging from their expressions, the people around them must have thought that these people came from the countryside and had never seen a subway or an escalator in their lives. Otherwise, they would not have made such a fuss.
Elwyn had to remind Fred and George to be careful not to drop the things in their pockets...
They got on the escalator, passed the ticket counter, and there was another round of discussion at the turnstile. Mr. Weasley was very happy to see the turnstile swallow his ticket so deftly, and he wanted to figure out how it worked.
After ten minutes, they came to a wide street.
There were majestic buildings on both sides, and the street was already crowded with cars and people on both sides of the street.
Not far away was a huge square, with huge electronic signboards hanging on the outer walls of the towering buildings, playing all kinds of advertisements. The mixture of tall buildings, signboards, and crowds of people was dazzling.
Ron's mouth was wide open, and he looked around in shock.
He had been to Kings Cross Railway Station before, but he had never been to the center of London, and he did not expect to see such a shocking scene.
He looked up at the tall buildings, and suddenly felt a little dizzy. He quickly grabbed Harry to prevent himself from falling.
In his heart, it was the first time that Muggle had such a terrifying feeling...
"It's fascinating, isn't it?" Mr. Weasley said, looking around blankly, "But what is this place?"
This shocked everyone. They thought that despite Mr. Weasley's frequent checking of the railway map, they had still got off the wrong station.
If that was the case, it would be terrible. Seven wizards were stranded in the center of London...
Elwyn was a little familiar with the square. His father's company headquarters seemed to be nearby.
But he had not been here for a long time, and he could not tell north from south either.
The last time he went to the Ministry of Magic was through the fireplace in Dumbledore's office...
"Ah, I remember. This way, children!" Mr. Weasley said, and led them into a side street.
"Sorry!" He said, "I've never taken the subway here, and everything is completely different from the eyes of a Muggle. This place is really shocking. To be honest, I've never used a guest's mouth before. "
They walked forward, and after about fifteen minutes, the buildings on both sides of the street gradually became less majestic.
Finally, they came to a desolate side street.
There were only a few shabby looking offices, a small pub, and an overflowing dump truck.
"Here we are!" Mr. Weasley said happily.
