Harry Potter: Using science to be IMMORTAL

Not long afterward, a new underground space was excavated beneath the Overseas Mansion, and upon its completion, the magic chip project team moved in to initiate a hundredfold time acceleration throughout the entire space.

This newly established research facility was dubbed the "Future Research Institute," and all the researchers who moved in were called "Pioneers" because, in a sense, they were crossing time to venture into the future.

A few days later, all the Pioneers underwent vampire transformation. Although the improved vampire potion wasn't ready yet, being underground without sunlight exposure meant they didn't have to worry about day-night reversal, and the various minor abilities brought by vampirism, such as enhanced recovery and perception, offered better value compared to the alternative method of the Elixir of Life.

"Time acceleration can be stopped at any moment," Murphy reminded them as he sent the Pioneers into the underground space. "Your research progress and data can be sent out via the internet at any time, and any kind of supplies needed can also be delivered whenever necessary. You can request to stop the time acceleration status at any time."

"Memristor research is just starting; it might take us about ten years to develop commercially viable advanced chips," said Denzel Evans. "Everyone is prepared for this commitment; we won't come out until we've made outstanding chips. But from the outside world's perspective, it will be less than two months. Wait for our good news."

With that, Denzel closed the door of the Future Research Institute and said to Murphy outside, "See you in two months."

Murphy nodded solemnly, "Take care, everyone. See you in ten years."

...

In September, the Magic Chip Future Research Institute officially entered a hundredfold time flow.

At the same time, four other Future Research Institutes also began construction, including:

The Magic Energy Conversion Institute, dedicated to researching the conversion of various types of energy, especially electrical and light energy, into magical energy. They had found some clues through the study of crystals and other materials. Due to unclear technology pathways, they planned to intermittently enter time acceleration to change technology paths and supplement experimental materials.

The Magic Mind Institute, focusing on two directions: the Artificial Mind project team, researching spells and magic that can endow objects with minds, such as portraits, ghosts, and animated magic, mainly aimed at "automatons," or magic-powered robots. Their research route was clearer, with a long-term research plan set for eight actual years.

Another direction was "Mind Magic," aimed at developing applications for mind magic, understanding the more fundamental structures of brains and nerves, led by Phineas Bachman and Omid Abott. Their goal was to provide more application scenarios for Murphy's "Seeds of Mind."

The Space Magic Technology Group, already utilizing space magic extensively, like the applications of the Extension Charm, but Murphy believed there was more potential for space technology development, such as space gates and rings he had long considered. This group's main objective was to create commercially viable space rings and gates.

Other groups included the Transformation Pathway Research Group, combining Muggle and Wizarding genomes. They proposed many ambitious research plans, including mapping Murphy's full genome to solve his genetic disorder, mapping the genomes of dozens of magical creatures, and exploring their application in transformation pathways.

These institutes were all set to go online by the end of October. If all were activated, Murphy anticipated a significant surge in magic technology in the coming months. Hence, resolving the issue of magical energy became even more urgent.

If there wasn't enough magic energy by then, Murphy planned to shut down dozens of magic metal factories and allocate all saved energy to support the Future Research Institutes.

In October, the "Hive" project was completed, and the artificial mana web was verified.

Since the mana web's energy flow was interrupted by time acceleration effects, they couldn't use time acceleration to hasten research. However, the basic verification was done, and construction of the second "Hive" mana reactor had begun. Once complete, it could support the energy consumption of the Future Research Institutes.

"The mana web's energy extraction is still limited," Holden warned. "Each mana node can only extract about one-third of the total mana flow passing through."

"But the mana web also has properties similar to magic stones, capable of self-recovery. Thus, the mana extracted at one node might recover to full at the next node. Adding nodes and extracting more energy from existing ones is the best method to increase the total amount of magical energy."

"We currently have three main nodes: Britain, Sukhoi, and Denmark. Establishing similar secondary nodes like the Hive should address the immediate needs."

"However, in the long run, we need other countries' Ministries of Magic to join in. Otherwise, it's a waste not to utilize so many primary nodes."

Murphy frowned, "But the other Ministries of Magic might not be willing to do so."

In November, the Magic Chip Research Institute ended its "time acceleration" state. A mature commercial-grade magic memristor AI chip was manufactured.

Murphy personally welcomed the "Pioneers" who emerged from the institute.

The research on magic chips took a bit longer than expected. While only two and a half months had passed in the outside world, for these Pioneers, it was a solid twenty years!

Therefore, even though they were prepared for this, the Pioneers emerged from the institute overwhelmed with emotion, feeling as if they had lived through another era.

Denzel Evans handed Murphy a small chip, "2nm process, 16-layer neural network architecture, 30,000 by 30,000 cross array, about 15 billion synaptic nodes. Under AI algorithms, its performance is 400,000 times that of current classical chips."

"Ten chips' computing power is equivalent to one human brain, and its magic power consumption is only 12 Hubbles."

Denzel, looking much more aged, looked at Murphy, "Mission accomplished."

Although Murphy had been continuously receiving papers and progress reports from the institute over the past two and a half months, seeing the chip in person still excited him.

This achievement far exceeded the strongest brain-like chips known before his time travel, with even the lithography process improved during their research.

With such a chip, precision control was no longer an issue. Such immense computing power, if formed into a new supercomputer, should enable him to control billions of intelligences as complex as humans.

Suppressing his excitement, he firmly shook the other's hand, "Thank you for your contribution, Pioneer."

"I also have good news: a potion to alleviate the negative effects of vampirism was completed a few days ago."

"Let a thousand years without worries be the reward for your monumental achievement."
