Chapter 261 Play a big game
lamp.
Yes, lights.
It began as controlled fire—for light.
Lamps are never simple gadgets.
After Andrew briefly talked about the problem of using lamps to supplement light to ensure plant growth, Professor Adams' work stopped.
"Is it more than just lighting? Using lights to provide the effect of sunlight?"
"But it's very limited...it requires a lot, a lot of lights."
Andrew said seriously, even the special grow lights with professionally adjusted light wavelengths consume amazing amounts of electricity, let alone Hogwarts' simple magic incandescent lamps.
“A lot of…”
Professor Adams showed a very heroic smile.
"You know too little about herbalism - we just lack the means, never the Galleons..."
Andrew was stunned by these overbearing words.
But soon he saw true boldness.
Although he had some understanding of herbal medicine, he knew almost nothing about the most precious plants.
In the afternoon of that day, the laboratory directly changed its research direction-it began to try to modify the lamp to adapt to the greenhouse, and to conduct in-depth research on the so-called wavelength issue.
Andrew had no hope anyway - it would be too difficult to change this thing without electricity.
But this did not affect the fact that a bunch of lights came on in the greenhouse, and the office also received piles of visit lists.
"What a generous move..."
Andrew looked at the names on the list that should theoretically be valuable and nodded - because Percy was already stunned, of course, this was not the main reason.
"Don't be stunned Percy, reply properly, the professor said, get responses one by one, and invite them warmly... It seems that Professor Sprout and the others have done a big job..."
"Sure, Andrew!"
Percy looked serious, "These are all people from the textbooks, and the Herbal Medicine Association even directly invested a large amount of money in the school, an investment that even the school board couldn't refuse!"
Of course I can't refuse - nearly half of the school directors have their own small potion workshops or herbal plantations, so it's okay to offend others. If you offend the Herbal Medicine Association, you don't want to get involved, right?
'It is estimated that the results will be achieved on the first day - magic is particularly efficient at checking things like this. I guess the effect is not low, otherwise it would not be such a big deal...'
Andrew thought secretly - mainly because Percy had to answer the letter this time. In order to avoid unnecessary conflicts in the office, he decided to shut up for a while.
Anyway, Andrew only mentioned the matter, so he probably hid it protectively.
It doesn't matter if he says it - he's a lucky guy and it won't have much impact.
However...this idea was gradually dispelled as the number of applicants increased.
'No, Professor, I just want to mention this thing. Don't sell me out. I just want to have fun learning transfiguration. That's not suitable for me at all under the light...'
But things are getting worse.
There are many more talented people in the magic world than Andrew thought - after the key thing of light replenishment was unlocked, Professor Adams jokingly said that herbalism, which has the most contact with the Muggle world, started to crazily light up new ones. Skill.
The first is the invisible expansion spell greenhouse, which exists in Andrew's fantasy.
Basically, except for the high energy consumption, it only took a while to discuss and it was successful - the traceless expansion spell cannot make more sunlight, but the light can, and the land use area has almost expanded. Of course, since the alchemy oil is stuck, it can only be used in the production of the most precious herbs. Even so, there is still huge profit.
Secondly, water-based cultivation - this is something that herbalists have been coveting for a long time, especially since the existence of alchemical potions and magic potions makes this kind of thing easier than in the Muggle world, but there is no way, the sunlight is stuck in the early stage.
This problem has also been solved - the only flaw in the experiment was that someone was too lazy to try to hydroponic mandrakes, and then killed the plants in the semi-greenhouse.
Then there is the third, low-cost cross-season crop - although the problem of low cost due to the failure of refining oil cannot be solved, there is hope.
As for the mess of small projects and plans, it is even more confusing - the visiting expert groups have simply lived in Hogwarts, and have no desire to leave...
‘It’s simply outrageous that such a big change can be made. ’
After solving the problem of the iron-carbon phase diagram, Andrew has been guessing where the change will come from - he likes to hear about alchemy or transfiguration.
Whether it was Nick, the first person in alchemy, or Dumbledore, the first person in transfiguration, it was possible, but Andrew had never thought about herbal medicine at all.
But that's a good thing - except...
"Taylor, Professor Adams told me that this fact is..."
Professor McGonagall looked at Andrew with a headache.
I was persuaded in alchemy, but how did you make such a big noise in herbal medicine!
"My personal advice is, don't expose yourself... The school will allocate a fund to Professor Adams, which is part of the Herbal Medicine Association..."
Just kidding, am I the kind of person who cares about reputation, Professor?
Believe me, Professor, I'm concentrating on Transfiguration, and I don't even have a name for it - just take the money, save the spotlight, and don't know whether to become a genius or an astronomy tower pendant.
"I still want to learn the art of transfiguration... I don't really like the kind of reputation that comes by chance... Moreover, if you have too many names, like Mr. Potter, it may be very difficult to learn."
Andrew pretended to be thinking and spoke seriously.
"Well, well, Professor Adams decided to give you all the three thousand galleons bonus...as compensation for your loss of reputation."
? ? ?
No, so generous?
Three thousand galleons!
Andrew wanted to sigh - he just didn't want to be famous...
"Something too much, Professor."
"Not much, what happened this time is almost a change - if you weren't in second grade, I would never have said such words to make you give up, but you are destined to be famous for your transfiguration, Taylor ”
Professor McGonagall said firmly.
'I also hope that the progress of herbalism has nothing to do with a herbalist like me. It's really a shame to have such a title...'
'Three thousand galleons are really... I can only accept it with shame...'
Andrew didn't even want to say anything hypocritical. This would be struck by lightning - it's herbalism... God knows what it will develop into...
lamp…
There's no way this thing can brake in the first place - but still, it should be good and get better.
‘That’s it...seniors in the laboratory, I’m sorry...the pressure is on you. ’
