Chapter 379 The first step in the journey
When Andrew left the office to prepare his own project, Dumbledore walked out of the room, opened Professor McGonagall's drawer and took out snacks with ease.
"Don't you have any ideas, Albus?"
Professor McGonagall sat back in her seat, looked at Dumbledore, and said with a little uncertainty, "Taylor's idea is really shocking."
"Yes, the ambition is outrageous." Dumbledore threw a piece of candied fruit into his mouth. "I never thought he would be so ambitious, but there is nothing wrong with it."
It was said that he was ambitious, but there was no sadness on Dumbledore's face at all. He even looked a little happy, "He actually wanted to translate the entire Muggle world. I originally thought he was just the non-rigid type." Wizard, but he's a genius in Muggle Studies."
"There is no doubt that Caredi will like him. There is no doubt that if Taylor goes to Muggle Studies class, Miss Granger will lose another first place."
Professor McGonagall said with great certainty, "He even directly brought in Muggle theory, intending to use magic to interpret Muggle things. Not even Caredi can do such a thing."
"Not everyone has such a talent for transfiguration, Minerva," Dumbledore said with some joy, "Perhaps this is also a trend in the development of the magical world. Give him the approval note now, Ma. Melon studies - a subject that I have been tutoring myself for, I am afraid I can only give him this kind of help.”
"Albus, are you still studying?"
Professor McGonagall looked at Dumbledore curiously - if there is a problem that magic cannot solve, please ask Albus to get the needed magical help in about a week.
She was used to this, but Dumbledore said he was still researching it?
"Yeah, I'm still studying. After learning this, and that, a little here, a little there, the magic world has been closed for too long, and I haven't paid attention to the outside world for too long - using magic to make food, even I am used to it. I have read a lot about Gamp’s basic deformation rules, but I still can’t break through the limitations of the rules.”
——
"The theory is feasible, but in practice it is not easy to reproduce."
Andrew sat in the library and began to try writing - although it was his own separate project and he was prepared in advance, how to implement it was still a problem.
Wood is the most convenient source of cellulose in Hogwarts, even in winter.
Although in theory it wouldn't take too long to re-enact, deep down he was already prepared for a protracted battle.
The first is the extraction of cellulose from wood, and the second is the saccharification of cellulose. He has not yet tried the deformation technique to convert water into chemical reagents, and he does not know what the consequences of the reaction will be - he learned the deformation technique in a regular manner. , I did not make any decisions on my own, nor did I have any sudden thoughts, so I completed all the orthodox learning routes step by step in the shortest time.
But now he can happily let himself go, as long as he manages the experiment safely.
‘That’s true, but I still have to pay attention to writing the proposal for the experiment, especially in terms of promotion. Studying cattle, horses, and sheep to think of ways to replenish energy is obviously inappropriate - yes. ’
[Temptive analysis of wood saccharification deformation related to termites’ sugar craving and wood feeding]
‘…’
What and what.
Andrew made a very conflicted evaluation of his title, but after being unable to think of a better result for a long time, he finally chose to give up the replacement.
'That's it, let's deal with the termites first. When the time comes, we can break the problem and directly capture herbivores such as cattle and sheep to try together. If it can transform the chemical reagent, it would be best. If not, then transform the enzyme - the latter is more effective, just spread it out. It's too difficult. ’
After struggling to decide on a title, Andrew started directly talking about termites. He directly wrote down how many termites he planned to kill and what kind of dissection and imitation he would perform. ‘First withdraw it yourself and imitate it, and then settle the bills and other things so that it can be exchanged for instruments later. After all, it is a special fund of the Ministry of Magic. I am not lining my own pockets, so I can’t plagiarize everything along the way, right? ’
He didn't just plan to come up with the simplest thing to shock people. Only by following up and being able to convince people can he bring about the entire change and improvement in the magic world.
If he wants a simple water thesis, he can directly add Legilimency and forgetfulness to a more mature laboratory or even factory. After getting the enzyme, he can just use the transformation technique to copy it - the effect will be achieved in one day. Add some food magic and it will be done in a week. That's enough for today's Transfiguration Technique.
Austria has developed this technology in the 1980s. Although the distance is not close, it has become more widespread in recent years. Why does he spend so much time just pursuing results?
'On the other hand, in the steel industry, neither Professor Dumbledore nor Mr. Nicol has made any movement - I don't know how well their research is going, and how terrifying the results will be. ’
He was not worried at all that the two masters of alchemy would ignore modern steel technology, but he was very greedy for the results, preferably the ones that could be used in Hogwarts, and he had no intention of hiding them.
How can he carry all the development of the human world by himself? Only by working together can we achieve success!
‘I don’t want to think about that anymore. It’ll be later later. I’ll do the whole job first. ’
——
"Well, it passed. You can take the approval form to Professor Alice to receive your first start-up capital. You have also followed the review rules, Taylor, remember to perfect them."
Andrew's report basically passed without any complicated review - the professor signed it without even looking at it carefully.
"In addition, Albus and I discussed it," the professor pushed the report back, his expression much more serious than before, "we decided to open the restricted area of books to you."
"All books related to transfiguration?"
Andrew was a little excited - was it because he had finished the Transfiguration-related courses?
"No, it's all, all the restricted books," the professor stared at Andrew, "You can control yourself, right, Taylor?"
This trust is a bit too heavy.
"Without a doubt, Professor," Andrew nodded, "and I don't think I can understand the rest of the books besides Transfiguration and Charms."
“…”
After a brief silence, Professor McGonagall added, "In any case, treat dark magic with the most caution."
"I won't touch it, Professor."
Andrew does not have any emotional fluctuations in black magic - after completing his own body transformation, the damage caused by his transformation was even more terrifying than black magic in a sense.
Unless others crush him in their own areas of expertise, the human body transformation technique he unleashes will be irreversible...
And this limitation will probably become bigger and bigger as he studies the art of transformation on his own.
"Well, go ahead," the professor pushed the approval slip over - it was simple, but signed by the names of the two principals.
