The Admiral of Hogwarts

In addition to the talent from the former Soviet Union, the ship girls' talent pool also included many young Western natives and Chinese descendants.

The main reason these native talents came here was that they had nowhere to go after certain high-tech projects were cut, so they came here after passing the ship girls' examination.

As for those Chinese descendants, there were a large group of guys in the early 80s and late 90s who would rather wash dishes abroad than stay in China. This time, they can be brought in to enrich Hugo's talent pool.

Anyway, in the Western world, most of these people, except for a small number, are completely marginalized and may even wash dishes for the rest of their lives. Therefore, it is more valuable for them to contribute to this great plan about humanity after being reshaped by the ship girls.

Of course, the number of such scholars may only be one or two hundred, and the rest are mainly workers. What surprised Hugo a bit was that most of these workers were retired soldiers from various countries.

"After all, this group of people is more organized and braver," Hood explained. "As long as we give them a belief, the subsequent work arrangements will be much better than ordinary people."

For the ship girls, who were born as weapons, they naturally appreciate soldiers more. Not to mention that working in the dangerous environment of the moon also requires the unique discipline and organization of soldiers.

This is why retired soldiers account for the vast majority of ordinary people working on the moon now. With the help of translators, these soldiers from various countries can cooperate with each other under the leadership of the ship girls to quickly build this base.

"You said there are more than a hundred werewolves here?" Hugo looked at the number of werewolves on the statistical report with a puzzled expression. "If I remember correctly, this should be almost the total number of werewolves we have transformed during this period."

"Yes, we just thought that the werewolves' bodies were stronger than ordinary humans at the time, so we only brought two or three werewolves here. As a result, we found that those werewolves seemed to be significantly enhanced on the moon."

Hearing Hugo's question, Hood walked to the console and pressed a few buttons. The statistical report originally on the main screen disappeared, and the camera switched to a surface mine.

"This is simply amazing!" Looking at the camera lens Hood brought up, Hugo exclaimed softly. Because in the lens, a group of werewolves wearing mechas and maintaining their werewolf state were building the auxiliary facilities of the surface mine.

The reason why Hugo was surprised was that although these werewolves had gained stronger bodies and the right to transform independently at the cost of giving up contagiousness after treatment, this transformation still consumed a lot of energy.

Unlike those werewolves who were infected and transformed purely by instinct, these treated werewolves consumed far more energy than ordinary werewolves because they had to maintain suppression while in werewolf form, resulting in a disadvantage in endurance.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, it is impossible for this group of werewolves to maintain their werewolf form and engage in work like this. After all, after receiving permanent transformation treatment, unless it is for combat, the werewolf form is not efficient for them.

"Now these werewolves can basically stay in werewolf form for 24 hours a day," Hood whispered. "And according to Salem and their research, this is related to their arrival on the moon."

"You know, before we had a way to treat them, these werewolves transformed on the day of the full moon, so the witches have always believed that their transformation should be related to the moon."

"Yes." Hugo nodded in agreement. "Some witches believe that the moon is only an inducement for werewolves, but others believe that the moon is the source of power for werewolf transformation."

Speaking of this, Hugo suddenly reacted. He glanced at the werewolves wearing power armor working on the screen and said, "You should have figured out the reason now, right?"

"That's right, we can now confirm that the moon itself is an important source of power for werewolves," Hood said, pointing to the werewolves working enthusiastically on the screen.

"According to Salem's previous research, although the moon does not emit light, it is a special magical source from a magical point of view, with a kind of energy belonging to the Yin attribute."

"And the reason why these werewolves can maintain their werewolf state for a long time is because they are now on the moon, very close to the source of that energy."

"This thing won't cause any sequelae, will it?" Hugo asked somewhat uncertainly, worried that this energy would deplete the body like a stimulant.

"On the contrary, this thing is more like a nutrient or tonic," Hood said, pushing the glasses on the bridge of his nose. "According to recent observations, the entire werewolf population is now evolving."

"At least compared to when they first arrived here, the overall quality of this group of werewolves is slowly improving. And all the magical plants and animals related to moonlight that we brought to the moon before have shown similar situations."

"It seems that the moon does have extraordinary power, so do you know where this power comes from specifically?" Looking at the screen showing several magical plants and animals that are now obviously growing a bit too luxuriantly, Hugo showed a thoughtful expression.

"We suspect it is the moon itself," Hood said seriously. "Because we sent people to conduct experiments with lunar soil on Earth, but there was only a very small effect."

"Moreover, Massachusetts and Salem have also checked before, and it can be basically determined that the moon as a whole may cause energy resonance due to its overall structure or other reasons, and then convert the energy into the moon's unique magic."

"If that's the case, it makes sense." Hugo nodded. At this time, he also saw a display screen showing several werewolves who had finished their shift and were standing in front of the cafeteria aunt with their plates.

Because they took off their power armor, Hugo could also see the full appearance of these werewolves this time. Compared with traditional werewolves, these werewolves obviously look much more beautiful.

Traditional werewolves look exceptionally ugly. Whether it is their obviously deformed bodies, ugly faces, or patchy hair, they are difficult to give people a good feeling.

But the situation of these new werewolves is completely different. Overall, their hair is much denser than that of the old werewolves, the bulging muscles on their bodies look full of strength, and more importantly, their eyes reveal the light of wisdom.

"The new werewolves can use magic in werewolf form," Hood whispered. "Because they are closer to humans than animals compared to the past, they can naturally use magic."

"It's just that most of the werewolves have not received normal magical education, and the size of those wands is not very suitable for these werewolves who are more than 3m5 tall, so they need to go through a period of adjustment before they can cast spells normally."

"No wonder they can only operate the mechas to work now." Hearing Hood say this, Hugo finally understood why these werewolves clearly have magic but still need to use their muscles to move bricks.
