The results of other teams were basically consistent with China's, and no abnormalities were found.
According to the volunteers who participated in the research, they "traveled" for nearly a month, but only more than ten hours passed on the blue planet.
This confused the man in the white coat.
No matter how the Soul Stone exists, energy is conserved, and actions always require energy support, right?
If it is not replenished in time, the actual reaction will be that the body becomes weak and tired, and it is not impossible that you will faint.
But all the volunteers said that they were just a little hungry.
Well, that's normal since their stomachs have been empty for more than ten hours.
Until the volunteers couldn't stand the hunger anymore and ran to the camp to cook, the white coats still couldn't find what they wanted.
They did not dare to force the audience to cooperate with them. The professors of the three magic academies and Dumbledore had left, but the professors' students were riding on brooms and improvising all kinds of fancy moves above their heads.
The night passed quickly.
At dawn the next day, the morning sun rose from the horizon and the audience, who had gotten enough sleep, crawled out of their tents one after another, prepared breakfast, and looked around for the "lottery drawer".
They discussed with each other that it might be Mr. Dumbledore himself who would preside over it, and the only other candidate would be the Queen.
In the eyes of the people of Ying and even countries around the world, the Queen is the spokesperson for Hogwarts on the Blue Planet.
However, the facts deviate from their speculation.
When the sun climbed high in the sky and spread its light to the earth, the crowd did not wait for Dumbledore to fly from the horizon, or the Queen to arrive in a special car.
Replacing them was a snowy owl that was completely white and seemed untainted by the world.
The snowy owl flapped its wings and circled above the camp, and its "cooing" call echoed all around.
An owl? From Hogwarts? Does it draw the lottery?
Everyone on the ground dropped what they were doing, stood with their hands on their hips, and looked up.
"Coo." The snowy owl's wings suddenly folded, like a sharp arrow, slanting down from the sky.
It moves so fast that people can't help but worry that it will fall to their death.
Obviously everyone's worries were unnecessary.
At the moment of falling to the ground, the snowy owl spread its wings, paused in the air with its agile posture, and then slowly landed on the head of a woman in her fifties.
Everyone's eyes were focused on her. The aunt seemed frightened and her whole body suddenly stiffened.
Chapter 326: The progress of the spacecraft construction is encouraging, and the immortal Xu inspects
Auntie soon received a magic robe that was entrusted by Dumbledore to the royal family.
When presenting the robe, the staff member relayed that the aunt herself did not possess magical powers, so most of the functions of the magic robe could not be used, but some of its gadgets could still be used.
As for what the "gadget" was specifically, the staff said that Mr. Dumbledore particularly emphasized that she should try it slowly on her own, which was considered a surprise.
At this time on the Blue Planet, any event related to the supernatural would be very popular, and media of a certain size from all countries would flock to it like cats smelling fish.
This was the case with the magic competition held on the outskirts of London.
There were not only reporters sent by private companies, but also officials from various countries. As a result, a photo of an aunt who was lucky enough to have an owl perch on her head, after putting on a magic robe, spread around the world in just a few hours.
The moment they received the news, powerful figures from various countries could not help but be interested.
All the previous extraordinary objects were in the hands of the official authorities, such as the royal family of Yingguo, Huaguo, and Amei.
Although individual forces have a certain amount of power, attempting to confront the state apparatus is purely courting death.
Therefore, people in certain gray areas dare not have any evil thoughts.
But this time is different.
Auntie’s personal information was on some people’s desks within an hour.
An ordinary family, an ordinary career, ordinary relatives.
With their strength, dealing with them can only be described as "easy".
However, these people did not take action immediately, but hesitated in their offices and homes.
Dumbledore has not appeared since the end of the game, and he has probably returned to Hogwarts.
The students and professors from the three magic schools who came to Blue Star for the competition walked into King's Cross Station after having fun in London.
Naturally, they didn't say anything about protecting my aunt.
Under this premise, it stands to reason that the extraordinary ones have all left, and now is the best time to take action. By stealing the magic robe and hiding in a remote farm, perhaps one can avoid the extraordinary's pursuit.
But this plan is too dangerous. What if Chaofan has the ability to locate the magic robe?
It doesn't need to be very precise, as long as the general area is determined. If Dumbledore throws the same boulder as the one outside London, you will be crushed to death even if you dig a hole to hide.
So they kept it to themselves and sent someone to contact the aunt, hoping to buy the magic robe through a legitimate transaction.
The price was offered with great sincerity, enough for my aunt and her family to live a luxurious life immediately, and as long as they didn't gamble, they would have no worries for the rest of their lives.
However, the aunt refused and wanted to leave the magic robe to her newly born granddaughter as a birthday present.
Repeated negotiations were always rejected, and some people's patience was exhausted.
They think they are being very gentle by offering a price, but you dare to refuse. Are you looking for death?
Some people might think they are stupid.
After all, China, Britain and the United States have not made any moves. Who do you think you are to want to seize it by force?
But if you analyze it carefully, it is actually not difficult to understand.
Habits are terrible.
When a person gets used to certain behaviors and maintains them for a long time, it creates an illusion that this is how the world is.
Just like being caught not wearing a helmet and getting into a conflict with the police in the street.
Ordinary people would definitely be dumbfounded. Are you sick?
Just a matter of tens of dollars must lead to spending several days in police station or even being sentenced?
However, in the case of the person concerned, in her mind, no one usually disagrees with her, and her relatives, lover, and children all obey her.
As a result, in her world, obedience to oneself is the norm, the truth, and the way it should be, no matter who you are.
Well, then comes the much-loved regret chair segment.
The same goes for the strength of the gray area group.
Someone couldn't help but use violence and sent someone to steal the aunt's magic robe that night.
Fortunately, I still had a trace of awe for the extraordinary in my heart, so I didn't dare to hurt anyone.
Because the process was extremely smooth and there were no obstacles at all, the group happily boarded the plane and returned home with their magic robes.
They sat down on the plane and joked with each other. Chaofan didn't care about humans at all, let alone an aunt being robbed.
He also mocked the security forces of Ying Country and easily boarded the plane carrying his magic robe.
However, they soon understood why Yingguo did not set up checkpoints at the airport and allowed them to leave.
The group returned to their nest and were about to have a banquet to celebrate when an old man with a hunched back came over.
The process was simple. The old man threw a fireball, and the entire villa was razed to the ground in an instant. All the people inside were vaporized by the heat.
That's good, as it saves the cremation process, although no one has the courage to collect their bodies.
The magic robe returned to the aunt's hands an hour later. The group of people hiding in the dark were terrified, and at the same time they stroked their violently heaving chests, feeling lucky that they were too slow.
Forget about trying to rob it by force. They really want to get the magic robe, so what to do? Just buy it.
Things are back to square one.
A group of burly men in black suits, who usually live on the edge of death, seem to represent "ferocious", "cruel" and "cold-blooded". Now they all ran to the aunt's door and sat obediently on the carpet.
As soon as he saw the aunt coming out, he quickly forced a stiff smile and followed her, constantly talking about the generous conditions offered by his boss.
After receiving reports from her subordinates and confirming that her aunt's safety was guaranteed, the queen no longer paid attention to the matter and summoned Suleiman and the prime minister to her palace to discuss the construction of the spacecraft.
Suleiman and the Prime Minister said they have done their best to push forward.
In addition to mobilizing the country's top workers and ensuring sufficient resources in all aspects, and smooth procedures, the two of them also opened a bed in the workshop and ate and lived on site.
The Queen knew what they said was true and she was indeed concerned, but it was not enough.
The two asked the reason in confusion.
"China's spacecraft construction is already halfway completed. You should understand what it means to lose the initiative."
This information was revealed by Dumbledore.
After listening, they remained silent.
As leaders of the kingdom, they certainly knew how terrible it would be to be overtaken by their competitors.
Maybe some people think, what if it’s a year or two late? Can anyone die?
In fact, it doesn’t matter if people die, because the consequences are more serious.
Assuming that China lands on the Moon first, it will be the first to build the Moon base, the first to obtain the second batch of extraordinary materials, and the first...
One step at a time, one step at a time.
Speed is of the essence in war. This is true in war and also in the competition between countries.
The queen looked at the two people with frowns on their faces and told them about the next goal.
First, apart from the necessary infrastructure and military maintenance, all other domestic resources should be invested. In extreme cases, military spending can also be cut.
Anyway, with Hogwarts here, there is no need to worry about national defense security.
In short, the Queen does not insist on being faster than China, but at least it cannot be slower, and not too much slower.
Considering that China started the plan first, launching it a month later is the Queen's bottom line.
Suleiman and the Prime Minister stood up with serious faces and walked out of the palace with slightly anxious steps.
At the same time, Mr. Gao, who had recovered from his injuries, also found Neo and informed him that China and Yingguo's moon landing projects were progressing rapidly.
Mr. Gao mentioned it briefly before, and Neo also took it very seriously, mobilizing almost all the strength of his hands to push forward.
