Chapter 224 The real treasure
"It's true, treasures encourage people to get up early..."
The next morning, when Andrew finished his routine run and saw the crowds of people who should not have been there crowded together on the edge of the Black Lake, he couldn't help but sigh.
On weekdays, there are only a dozen or so people running, and the distances they run basically don’t overlap—they all got up early this morning.
If the Black Lake hadn't been frozen, Andrew suspected that someone would have jumped in by now.
But if the situation develops, it is not impossible to jump into the lake - anyway, the squid by the black lake will not let people drown...
'No matter, I'm not a prefect, even this doesn't violate school rules - we can't demolish the school, can we? ’
Andrew shook his head, and even took a detour to the castle in order not to disturb the excitement of the group.
He still has a lot of things to do today - go to the laboratory to review the transfiguration skills he has mastered before, handle work in the office, and have to go to the library to complete homework and previews. He has no time to care about a fictitious treasure.
The mystery of transfiguration was revealed to him for the first time, and he was very busy!
——
"Isn't this okay? Isn't it too harsh? How is it okay to do that just now?"
Andrew sat in the laboratory, looking at the information next to him and the speculations he had written down, and his whole body fell into a state of frenzy...
"It stands to reason that this structure is a stable structure and complies with part of the definition of the rules, but no matter what, I can't feel the rules being displayed here..."
He sighed, marked the failed project, prepared to go back and ask Professor McGonagall, and then turned his attention to the next project.
But at this time, he habitually glanced at the reminder device in the laboratory - it was silent, but would leave a message about the visitor's intention, but Andrew didn't know what the spell was.
The originally blank reminder device suddenly had an additional sentence at this moment.
"We succeeded, it's in the laboratory next door, come on!"
? ? ?
The lab next door?
Andrew was stunned for a moment and began to recall that he had some impressions of the laboratory next door, but not much, because they only knew what was being done there, and the main person in charge was Professor McGonagall and the people who belonged to the laboratory. Dean.
'Forget it if you can't remember it... take a look and see if there is anything good...'
After all, the word "success" is not a random word. Except for the laboratory where Andrew used to practice, the rest of the laboratories are basically burned with Sico as fuel every day. If it is that kind of key project, the fuel can be directly replaced by Galleons. .
He checked that nothing was missing, and then patiently checked it again. Then he felt relieved, locked the door and walked directly towards the laboratory over there.
"Wait…"
The further he walked, the more he realized something was wrong - this laboratory seemed to have just been opened not long ago, and it was arranged by him, just before the Christmas vacation!
It has only been a few days and the results have been produced?
Are you sure you're not here to defraud the Ministry of Magic's funds?
And the research target is also old-fashioned - yes, the old Hogwarts electricity problem!
Just kidding, this fixed money-burning project is launched every year. If you say it is successful, who are you kidding? There is no money for cheating, and no funds have been allocated for cheating!
But it’s not good to be suspicious – at least take a look.
So although Andrew's interest suddenly waned, he still didn't give up and walked directly towards the laboratory - it was approved not long before the holiday. He wanted to see what happened.
Suspicious, Andrew knocked on the door of the laboratory—or, to be precise, activated the message system.
But before he could say anything, the door suddenly opened, and what greeted him was a Hufflepuff student whose face was red with excitement.
"You're here, classmate Taylor, yes, yes, we succeeded just like you said!" What did you say!
I'm doing a good job in the office, and I have no intention of cheating the money with you. No matter how bad the Astronomy Tower is, it's still a hundred times better than Azkaban!
But he was quickly pulled in - two Gryffindors, three Ravenclaws, five Hufflepuffs, these are all the members of this laboratory, and at this moment they are all With a red face, he seemed to have the urge to take off his clothes and run laps along the black lake.
"This way, Taylor, this way!"
Andrew was almost forcibly pulled over - in the center of the group of people, a crude benzene device that Andrew didn't know how to describe was placed on the table. It was completely out of Andrew's imagination of mechanical or alchemical devices. It was crude and crude. Like discarded parts in a garbage dump.
However, he quickly retracted his assessment and felt deeply guilty for his poor judgment.
Because as the Gryffindor boy standing next to the machine put his hand into the pile of thick railings and pointed a place with his wand, an old-fashioned incandescent light that he was all too familiar with shone from a thin metal wire. Appeared…
'ah? ’
His eyes widened and he couldn't close his mouth.
Isn't it?
Just kidding!
Merlin's beard!
What is going on!
Didn’t Hogwarts have a problem with electromagnetic shielding because the various protections in the castle combined to form an invisible magic field?
"How did you do it?"
He asked sincerely.
"That's what you said."
"I?"
Andrew pointed at himself, with a confused look on his face - Could it be that my future self used a time turner to come here?
What a joke, even a useful time turner doesn't have the ability to travel for such a long time. This is Hogwarts, not a legend of Dumbledore.
"Yeah, you said it, Taylor."
The other party nodded, "What you said about working on electricity is so illusory. I don't know how far it goes. It's better to start with lights. After all, the incandescent lamp most commonly used by Muggles is to heat tungsten filaments for lighting. It has something to do with electricity, but it's not that difficult. ”
…
It seems to have been said.
Andrew remembered - when he got the report and gave it to the professor, the professor felt that the experiment still had to be carried out, so he asked him to take people to Mr. Filch to move the failed materials.
After all, the old student had repeated this experiment many times, and accumulated a lot of failed information. He saw that the students were a little frustrated at the time, and casually mentioned a few things about electricity that he knew, and then stopped paying attention.
After all, this is an experiment that has failed more than ten times in a row...
"So what are you doing during this time?"
"Yes, we used alchemy equipment to create high temperatures, used them to heat the tungsten wire, and then successfully made a lamp!"
? ? ?
Yes, the working principle of the incandescent lamp is to use electricity to pass through the tungsten wire, and then use the current to pass through the tungsten wire, causing the resistance of the tungsten wire to become higher and higher, thus generating a large amount of heat, heating the tungsten wire to about two thousand degrees, thus entering the incandescent state Shine…
The so-called light bulb is actually a glass cover that is evacuated to ensure that the filament slows down oxidation and is used to seal and energize...
In other words, under his guidance, his dear seniors did not make electricity, but they were so powerful that they made lights directly...
