Chapter 517: Red Coast

In this rare period without external interference, Harry paid a little more attention at school. He soon noticed that Pan Xi finally followed the suggestion of the recipe manual and chose Magical Girl + Pomeranian as her super-wizard power recipe.

"I know many people secretly laugh at me for looking like a Pomeranian, but so what?" She said this. "Now I have turned this ridicule into power."

When Pan Xi was full of ambition, Greengrass still didn't give up. She locked herself in the dormitory and folded paper cranes and little stars without stopping. Perhaps this could arouse Draco's pity. Moreover, what happened next was that Pan Xi started knitting a scarf to follow the bet, but was scolded by Draco as old-fashioned and boring, which made Harry worry for a while.

However, under multiple pressures, Draco finally failed to make a decision to resist reality. Instead, he hardened his heart and, in front of many people, while saying "we are impossible," threw the entire glass jar of little stars into the Black Lake. Greengrass ran away crying in anger at that time.

Harry, with a trace of indirect guilt, authorized Eve to find an opportunity to enlighten this little girl. Thus, when Greengrass started a new campus life, this matter was completely finished in his heart.

Immediately after, not letting Harry be idle for a moment, the old technical experts from China finally gathered and were ready to officially launch the moon landing cooperation. For this matter, Harry had to start running outside the school every three days.

The Prime Minister arranged for the accommodation of the Chinese and Soviet experts in the same hotel in the Muggle World. In the next period of time, they needed to discuss a concrete plan to discuss how to complete this 【moon landing program relying on Harry Potter himself】—since Yanayev didn't really want to land on the moon, those who really participated in this plan were those Soviet scholars whose thoughts were not aligned with the central government and were squeezed out. This was a coincidence, and the technical personnel on both sides had many common topics.

When Harry came to the hotel, the first person to receive him was a Chinese person he didn't know, but his personal image was well-groomed: obviously, this administrative personnel was mostly from a military background. He stood tall, had a well-proportioned figure, and his eyes revealed firmness. Harry had no doubt that this would be an iron-blooded tough guy full of backbone and pride, willing to fight to the last moment in the face of any unfairness.

"Hello, I am Zhang Beihai, the general coordinator of this moon landing team." He stretched out a hand and shook hands with Harry. "Of course, you can also guess that I belong to the Six Doors."

"Hello, hello." Harry said happily. "You also have the surname Zhang?"

"Yes, the Zhang family is a very large wizard family in China." He nodded slightly. "Please come with me. Master Xuanjun has some special instructions for the team's work, and I think it is necessary for you to know."

With a hint of curiosity, Harry followed him into a conference room. It didn't look like any confidentiality measures had been taken here. And Zhang Beihai didn't show much confidentiality awareness either.

"The special instruction is that we need to simultaneously build a high-power radar station responsible for band communication with the moon landing rocket." He said calmly. "China will provide most of the costs for the base construction, and the requirement is to determine the name of the base as 'Red Coast'."

Harry scratched his head. He of course knew that the construction of the measurement and control station was necessary, and, since the Chinese were paying for it, then they wanted to build it, and they wanted to call it whatever they wanted. By rights, it didn't need his consent.

"I don't oppose this, but," he asked hesitantly, "are you sure there are no other requirements?"

"No, as long as you approve of this name." Zhang Beihai said, taking out a document that described this matter very simply, preparing to ask Harry to sign.

Just when the nib fell on the paper, Harry realized some deeper things: as a singularity of fate, 【Harry Potter's approval】 itself was a very valuable thing.

However, what consequences would a name cause? He couldn't think of it at all, just treating it as some superstitious or star-chasing operation within China. In the end, Harry signed the name readily.

Everything that followed went smoothly beyond expectations. From the planning and landing of the Red Coast base, the cooperative office location of the experts on both sides was officially determined, and the subsequent large rockets and the manufacturing and launch site selection of the upper stage were completed one after another; technically, three satellite projects for Earth-Moon communication were quickly established, the design idea of the high-thrust rocket was reviewed and passed, and a moon landing spacecraft team mixed with Muggle experts and spell masters was formed. The entire project was advancing at a magical speed.

Just when Harry thought there was nothing to worry about, in mid-March, when everyone's attention was on the upcoming Easter holiday, just when he was sitting in the pub, having just received Lupin's wedding invitation from Sirius—

Tang Tang Nade suddenly broke into the pub, rushed to Harry's table, and said with a face full of anxiety: "You caused trouble, Harry, you don't know how much trouble you caused! What's more infuriating is that evil old man Ge Xuan, how dare he, how dare he make a joke with this kind of thing!"

"What happened?" Sirius immediately revealed a defensive expression.

Tang Tang Nade held up a finger and said urgently: "Red Coast base, you can't build the Red Coast base! If it weren't for Hermione telling me, no, I just learned that he also gave Hermione psychological suggestions, ETO! This is too terrible, you don't understand at all, you won't understand..."

Regardless, Harry was still very happy to see this seemingly arrogant traveler truly reveal a feeling of fear. He asked with a guessing tone: "Then, what is the problem with these things? Is it related to some of your, er, future, um, claims?"

"This is a manifestation, Harry. I only realized recently how far Ge Xuan has gone in this regard, a true, advanced method of using magic power, but I didn't expect him to dare to play that." After Tang Tang Nade calmed down a little, he sat at the table. "He seems to call this 'the power of the masses', or it can be understood as the power of belief. Do you still remember the Kamen Rider system?"

"Of course, please continue?" Harry started to be a bit infected by his panic.

"To be precise, I still haven't figured out how he used the existing alchemy to make the knight belt. Later, I touched a little threshold, which is the advanced usage of the Great Vow. He used the non-existent masses to launch the manifestation—"

"Wait a moment." Sirius interrupted him. "Can you start from the beginning?"

Tang Tang Nade froze for a moment, then he touched his chin and slowly said in a much more stable tone: "Of course, you know that Ge Xuan and I are constantly exploring more powerful magic, and he obviously developed some very magical magic rituals. First of all, we have to admit that he is a genius. A long time ago, he discovered a fact that modern ritual magic often ignores: Muggles can also participate in ritual magic and provide quite powerful help."

"And the large ritual designed by Ge Xuan using this point not only helped him gain power and solve the imminent problem, but also opened up a new discipline for Chinese wizards, Incense God Dao, which is to strengthen the power of spells by relying on the recognition of Muggles... I think this is also a benefit brought to wizards by breaking the Statute of Secrecy to a certain extent."

"However, the reason why this discipline has not been carried forward is because human thoughts are often very complex, and the recognition of Muggles cannot play much strengthening role, but instead will exist many interferences. Unless it is like Ge Xuan's time when the Empire was at the point of life and death, it is difficult to form enough synergy to break through the threshold of super-wizard power."

Harry was still a bit ignorant, while Sirius seemed to be able to understand, and he signaled Tang Tang Nade to continue with his eyes.

"So, Ge Xuan further invented 【non-existent audience】, which is to use the recognition of Muggles in parallel worlds. Take Kamen Rider as an example. We all know that Kamen Rider should have been real, a series of fantasy works filmed by Muggles. However, due to Ge Xuan's measures to change history, this series no longer exists—but, in parallel worlds, it still exists, right?"

"Muggles in parallel worlds certainly recognize this series, or rather, there are always Muggles who recognize this series of works. And the existence of parallel worlds is endless. By gathering the power of these Muggles, Ge Xuan can reproduce Kamen Rider in our world. Although I don't know exactly how he achieved it, I have already understood this principle. So I think the name 'Dalaran' might add a boost to our floating city, and I also intend to observe the mechanism of this principle through this process."

It doesn't sound bad; this is a win-win mechanism. Harry nodded silently. Tang Tang Nade also said that with the development of the World of Warcraft series of games in the future, Dalaran would become a classic floating city loved by Muggles.

"But you know Red Coast base, ETO, what are these things going to manifest?" Tang Tang Nade suddenly became serious. "You must not be afraid of what I am going to say next."

"It doesn't matter, we are not afraid." Sirius said calmly.

"A group of aliens preparing to invade Earth."

Sirius laughed out loud, but he quickly tightened his expression, trying hard to remain serious. Harry was amused by his appearance and also wanted to laugh, but he also held it back.

"Don't take me as joking. This is a very special kind of invader, not the kind of house-playing invaders in the general sense. It is very terrible, cold, and truly can be called a great terror that Earth humans have never encountered—"

Seeing that both of them were clenching their fists against their mouths, trying hard to hold back their laughter, Tang Tang Nade suddenly lost the desire to continue. ===== CHAPTER 518 =====
