"..."

Bell was speechless after hearing Will's explanation.

The main point is that he also felt that Lin was absolutely right and there was no way to refute him!

Oh well, human form it is, there's not much difference anyway.

Following behind Gundam, the group arrived at the outside of a tall factory building.

Under the wizard's control, Gundam's chest opened outwards, and a large amount of ore tumbled out.

The House-elf, who had been waiting there, immediately raised their Wand and worked together seamlessly to transport the ore into the factory.

Upon entering the factory, a wave of heat hit you, and raging flames were burning fiercely not far from the entrance.

Once the ore is thrown into the flames, it will soon turn into a golden-red molten metal that flows out from below the flames.

Every now and then, someone would remove the molten metal and add some solution and powder to further purify it.

Hermione was dazzled by this series of complicated operations.

Led by Will, Bell and his two companions briefly observed the ore refining process before finally arriving at the storage room where the finished product, Arcanite, was stored.

With a gentle wave of his hand, a pale yellow metal block floated above Bell's palm.

He infused magic into the Arcanite, controlling its Transfiguration various shapes. After a simple test, Bell nodded in satisfaction.

"Has it been sent to the teacher yet?"

While staring at the Arcanite in his hand, Bell asked without looking up.

"Yes, the second batch of Arcanite was delivered to Mr. Flamel as soon as it was transported back to Earth."

Upon hearing this, Bell nodded in satisfaction.

He hasn't visited his teacher in a long time. He'll visit his teacher and his Shimu when he gets back this time.

After Shanna and Hermione each picked out a piece of Arcanite as a souvenir, the three of them left the factory and continued to wander around the Mars Base.

Although the base is not very large in terms of area, and the number of wizards and House-elf living here is not large, many entertainment facilities have been specially built in the base to take into account the monotony of life on Mars.

The entertainment venues built by some of the House-elf, with their completely different styles and facilities from those of humans, broadened the horizons of Bell and his companions.

"Hermione, are you sure you want to do that?"

Standing at the edge of the base's Defense Barrier, Bell looked at his girlfriend, who was arguing with him, with a worried expression.

This was their second day on Mars. Today, they planned to go outside the base and take a look around the mine and the surrounding area.

Once they are out of the protective barrier, they will have to face the harsh Mars environment on their own.

Although they have specially made magical tools that can generate a ' Micro Survival Barrier for Space ' (hereinafter referred to as 'miniature barrier') by simply injecting magic power to protect them, this barrier consumes a lot of magic power.

Putting everything else aside, just providing the magic for the Duplication Charm to create a permanent source of oxygen would put immense pressure on an average wizard. Not to mention maintaining temperature, gravity, and protecting against cosmic radiation, among other things.

It's important to understand that those qualified to be sent to the Mars Base in the first batch are all elite individuals. Even these people can only stay outside the base for about an hour.

So, Bell originally planned to expand his miniature barrier to include Hermione as well. Although that would have been a great burden for him, it would have made things much easier for Hermione.

But when Hermione learned that Shanna would be able to maintain a miniature barrier all by herself, her competitive nature made it impossible for her to tolerate it.

"I'm sure! I'm absolutely sure!"

As she spoke, Hermione secretly glanced at Shanna.

She admitted that she was still quite a distance from Shanna. But that distance... well, it was rather large.

So what? She's not having it today! She's determined to prove herself! What are you going to do about it?

With Bell by her side, she wasn't worried about encountering any danger.

"All right."

Seeing that Hermione had made her decision, Bell stopped trying to persuade her.

"However, if you feel your magic power is running low in a little while, don't push yourself. Tell me immediately, understand?"

Bell gave him a concerned reminder.

"Knew."

Hermione obediently agreed, and was secretly delighted by Bell's concern for her.

"And Shanna, you too, remember not to be reckless."

Bell looked at her younger sister with concern.

Why does he seem to have the feeling that he's raising two daughters? Is it just his imagination?

"Okay, Gege! Let's go quickly, Gege!"

Shanna obediently agreed, then urged him excitedly.

Actually, if her Gege hadn't insisted that she maintain a miniature barrier on her own, she would have loved to share it with Gege. That way, she could use the excuse of saving his magic power to get Gege to carry Gege on his back. It had been so long since her Gege had carried her.

Therefore, Shanna couldn't understand why Hermione would refuse her Gege's suggestion.

She's not going to be reckless. Rather, she'll be extra cautious, very cautious, and extremely cautious later on.

If she told her Gege that she was running out of magic power when she still had 80% of it left, I wonder if Gege would believe her.

They infused magic into their Flying Shoes, and the three of them floated up.

While the micro-barrier is activated, it is impossible to Side-Along Apparition. This is because the micro-barrier is far too complex and precise.

Without the help of magical items, even Bell would need to spend a lot of time and effort to build it little by little.

Therefore, it is almost impossible to ensure that the microscopic barrier on the body surface is not destroyed by the compression of space after the Apparition appears.

Perhaps Dumbledore could do it?

Bell wasn't entirely sure either. But he knew he was still a long way from being able to do that.

"Once the new, Inferior Philosopher's Stone is made, we must place one in the mine as well."

Bell thought to himself.

However, it's highly likely that this will remain just wishful thinking. There are simply too many places that need Philosopher's Stone right now, and the supply is severely insufficient.

"Swish, swish, swish~"

Braving the howling wind, Bell and his two companions rushed out and flew towards the nearby mine.

Will had originally wanted to be their guide today, but Bell declined.

The mine is not far from the base, and there are also many wizards and House-elf in the mine. If we really need a guide, we can just catch one at random. There is no need to bother Will.

As the person in charge of such an important place as the Mars Base, Will has a lot of things to deal with every day.

It was already quite an achievement that I was able to spare a whole day yesterday to hang out with them. Didn't you notice how much dark circles are under Will's eyes this morning?
