Chapter 382 Professor, I want to learn this
“Come in, Tyler, what happened?”
Professor McGonagall was in the office, looking at Andrew with a serious expression. .
Because under normal circumstances, Andrew would not visit unexpectedly, and at this time, most of the Gryffindor students had done something difficult.
‘Can’t even control the confinement? ’
Professor McGonagall was sure that if there was nothing important, Taylor would not bother him casually.
"It's not an emergency, but I need some help, Professor."
Andrew said as he took off his schoolbag, "I probably got what I wanted. "
"Thing, that, enzyme? "
The professor still remembers what Andrew said.
"Yes, it should be," Andrew nodded, carefully took out a test tube from his schoolbag, and then began to dig out the untreated wood, "These are almost enough."
He knocked. Knocking on the parchment on the table, he conjured a glass basin. "I've tested it. Transfiguration works very well." To resist damage during the reaction."
Putting the wood into the basin, Andrew made a rough estimate and pointed at the basin with his wand, "The water is as clear as a spring."
"The curse is getting stronger. More solid, Taylor"
"Thanks, Professor"
Andrew nodded while estimating the amount of water - yes, it was all estimation and contemplation, there were no stable and precise steps at all.
After confirming that it was almost done, he cast a crushing spell directly on the wood in the basin - because the transformation spell on the basin was too strong, the wood shattered into sawdust, but it was still intact.
‘I’m a little nervous…The next step is just stirring. '
"The next step is acid, Professor, because it will react, so this step will consume the power of the transformation spell."
For this reason, this step is also what I am thinking about, because Andrew There was no time to calculate the approximate acid consumption time and rate.
Then there are the industrial processes that seem to be imitated, omitting what should be omitted, and magicalizing what should be magical - anyway, the reagents created by the transfiguration technique will generate a very outrageous existence after the reaction, making the whole experiment very uncomfortable. science.
This can also be considered as an abnormal and outrageous phenomenon that Andrew has researched during this period - for example, the simplest reaction between steel and acid, using deformation to turn water into dilute sulfuric acid, and then reacting with iron, it works normally Say, ferrous sulfate and hydrogen gas will be generated, right?
However, after the magically transformed sulfuric acid reagent reacts with iron, it will produce very little detectable ferrous sulfate and almost no hydrogen gas.
Yes, there is only one point, and the weaker the spell intensity, the more abnormal the amount of reaction consumption. Not to mention that the two are not in a normal ratio, it is also easy to cause the phenomenon of no product at all, just like the transformation spell is converted into It's like a disappearing spell - all products are reduced to nothingness.
Andrew calls this interesting phenomenon the disappearing spell effect - the more powerful the spell, the more real the reaction. A weak spell will reduce matter to nothing like a disappearing spell, while permanent deformation will turn matter into nothing. The fake becomes real.
But instead of asking about this phenomenon for the time being, he now needed to show Professor McGonagall the function of the enzyme he had created.
"Professor, in theory there should be enzymes that can change without acid treatment, but I haven't found any, so I can only use some Muggle methods to speed up the reaction."
Andrew explained as he explained While doing so, he removed the transformation spell to make the reactants as pure as possible.
"The enzyme itself does not participate. It should be said that it only promotes it. I don't know how to explain it more complicatedly, but professor, what I can confirm is that even if it is copied using the deformation technique, it will not participate in the reaction. Among the products, the quality is even the same.”
He separated out one-third of the extract, then used the deformation technique to copy and increase the value, and then stuffed an estimated amount into the basin - yes. Yes, this step is still the same.
"You still have to be careful, Taylor," Professor McGonagall sighed. "Magic experiments have always been the most dangerous. I don't know how many wizards have died while conducting experiments. It's just a matter of change enzyme. Even if you After referring to a lot of Muggle experiments, I still can't forget this matter."
Andrew was silent for a moment and nodded quickly - he was indeed a little proud of forgetting this important matter.
“But, is that all it takes?”
“Well, we can even perfectly recover the enzyme later, but storage is still a problem.” Although the results are still being reflected, there is no It does not affect Andrew's request for help - because the technological content of this thing is really average, even if most of it is converted into magic.
"I'll go inform Albus."
Professor McGonagall nodded and went out without even waiting for the results - but the professor came back not long after.
There is no doubt that it is a portrait.
And it was indeed no problem - because it didn't take long for Dumbledore, who could still see his pajamas under the wizard's robes, to arrive.
"Did Andrew's experiment succeed?"
"It's still in progress," Professor McGonagall pointed to the glass basin on the table - it didn't look pretty, it was pitch black and looked like dirty water from washing socks.
"Well, the power of transfiguration is very weak, and even the spell itself is not consumed."
Dumbledore nodded, "How long will it take?"
…
Sorry, Professor, I don’t know, but I guess it will be close in a while.
With the level of reagents available at Hogwarts, it would be amazing if I could detect sugar in it.
"I'll call Severus over, he's a professional."
Does this have anything to do with potions, Professor?
Andrew is very unsure - but what he can confirm is that if he handed in this thing in Potions class, he would be ridiculed mercilessly, and then Ravenclaw would deduct points. By the way, he would get Put him in confinement or something.
However, Dumbledore's execution was as superb as ever - Professor Snape was quickly invited over.
"Need to test the potion?"
Professor Snape looked at the dark basin on the table, and then looked at Dumbledore. Andrew didn't know why Professor Snape wanted to take the contents of the basin. The feeling of splashing out.
"That's it, potions? Are you kidding, Albus?"
A sneer appeared on his face, "The joke is not funny at all. Potions are precise and Strict craftsmanship, not just a lump of dirty water can be called a magic potion."
"But you can definitely understand what's inside, right?"
Dumbledore showed no sign of being offended by the offensive tone. He looked at Snape with a smile.
"I hope that if there is such a stupid thing again, I can ask other professors."
With a sigh, Professor Snape started to get busy - he used a bottle to do it in disgust. Pour out some liquid, and then cast the spell skillfully.
Then, an even more disgusting voice came out.
“It’s not a magic potion, just some sugar water, plus grass roots or other rhizomes, all corrupted... and then mixed with a little bit of magic and messy substances, even a little trace amount The toxicity is like causing diarrhea - it has nothing to do with potions.”
? ? ?
What the hell?
What is this, professor, I want to learn this!
Andrew's eyes widened as he struggled to analyze the ingredients, but not only him, but Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall's eyes also suddenly became serious.
