Chapter 263: Kill but not bury

"Floo?"

"Yes, Floo Network, Senior."

Andrew sat in the electrical laboratory and narrated his ideas.

"If there is a safe and controllable energy network in Hogwarts, it must be the Floo Network. It is not just a simple laying, it can even block nodes, I mean usage points, and even open only to special rooms."

"But, the Floo Network is for carrying people..."

“No, it seems feasible…”

"There is some truth in that, Taylor, please elaborate--"

"Technically similar adjacent channels, or using the Floo Network to build a protected network that can transmit energy - not necessarily electrical energy, or, I suspect that even with the help of the Floo Network, electrical energy still cannot be used..."

Andrew said seriously, "As for what kind of energy source it is, that is another matter, but the Floo Network is undoubtedly the most useful carrier, or at least the most suitable object to imitate."

This is absolutely true - it is much easier to improve than to innovate.

"In this case, compared to using only alchemical oil..."

“It is quite feasible…”

"That's a good research direction... At least it's much simpler than creating an energy carrier that can break through Hogwarts' defense system."

In the midst of a messy discussion, most people in the laboratory expressed their support - making lights was just an unintentional act, and electricity or a system that imitated electricity was their original goal.

"Great idea, Taylor, when are you coming to join the experiment?"

"I?"

Andrew pointed at himself in front of the lab leader.

"Do you have any weird fantasies about a second-year student? I only know a little bit of Transfiguration, Herbs, Potions, and Spells, and I have never dabbled in Alchemy and Muggle Studies. Senior, please don't go too far."

???

The Hufflepuff team leader looked at Andrew, as if he wanted to say something, but couldn't say anything - after all, there was nothing wrong with saying it.

But, with such a big project proposed, are you not going to participate at all?

You don't act like a sophomore when you think about it!

"Come on, if you have any problems with funding, just report it - I think the Ministry of Magic will approve any reasonable funding request, senior."

Andrew looked serious, threw his idea to everyone in the laboratory, patted his butt and ran away.

Are you kidding? Participating in an experiment?
He'd be crazy to waste his precious time on something he's not good at.

There are naturally professionals who can change the magic world - how can he change it on his own? Isn't it better to give ideas and hope for miracles to hatch?
Herbal medicine has made great progress, but it was all made by professionals.

These sixth-grade research students are professionals, so he should just study his own magic tricks well!

There is still more than a year until graduation!
Come on, seniors, the miracles of the magical world depend on you!

"I have contributed to the development of the magic world today. I have worked so hard... I think it's not too much to give you an ice cream..."

-

Just as the students in the electricity laboratory were experiencing Andrew's act of killing without burying anyone, Hogwarts began to gradually enter spring.

But this does not affect the overcrowding of the greenhouse - it takes time to incubate new technologies, whether it is herbology or electricity, and as for alchemy and transfiguration, there is currently no movement at all.

But greenhouse technology has begun to be applied - the growing time of some herbs has been shortened to half, not to mention the crucial production time, and with the help of the Traceless Expansion Spell, the first batch of herbs with short growing times are almost ready for market.

Professor Snape and another Potions professor prepared the herbs - the fast-growing herbs had no effect on the effects of the potions.

As a result, the prices of some high-end potions made from all-herbal ingredients began to fall rapidly, and a new formula for commonly used potions was developed - animal materials began to be replaced by plant materials, and this was just the beginning.

There is no doubt that the next season will be a carnival for potions. There will definitely be more than one recipe that has been changed - each new formula represents profit and fame, it all depends on how the researchers choose.

But Andrew didn't know more. The information he heard was revealed by Professor Adams - after all, he could hardly get any extracurricular guidance on potions.

But there is no doubt that everything is improving and change is a good thing most of the time.

As for how things will develop next, Andrew didn't know either - he and the power system had the same attitude towards the advancement of herbal medicine.

No matter whether they are killed or buried.

Well, not entirely—at least he got his bonus.

"The changes are really...huge..."

The very next day after Andrew received the money, Percy, who was completely unaware of the situation, was still lamenting about herbology.

"That's enough, Percy..."

Andrew put down his work and said, "You have said it many times..."

"It's mainly because of this change that it has brought me a lot, Andrew..."

"Yes, but you have to pay attention to other changes..."

Andrew patted the homework in front of him, "Don't you care?"

"Ron? He dared to copy homework again?"

Percy's brows knitted together - there was no doubt that if Andrew gave a definite answer, there would probably be another fight.

"No, it's Fred and George."

Andrew looked curious, "Did you beat them up too?"

"what?"

Percy's eyes widened, "Beat them? I wanted to do that... but I don't support it... What, is there something wrong with their homework?"

"Big problem... the grades have increased for no reason, and by a lot..."

Andrew nodded seriously—he wasn't bragging at all, it was indeed true.

"You suddenly started working hard and your grades improved a lot?"

Percy looked at Andrew, "Come on, Andrew, April Fool's Day just passed a short time ago, your joke is really wrong."

He started laughing. "But it's really funny..."

But as he laughed, he realized that Andrew's face was full of seriousness.

"Really? You're kidding!"

Percy's eyes widened, "Study hard? Fred and George?"

"I suspect this is not the only subject," Andrew spread his hands, "There is a problem whose solution is not based on traditional Transfiguration, but I looked at it and the method is feasible, but it feels like a spell when it is cast..."

All kidding aside, he could still judge this point. The two of them were definitely not using orthodox transformation techniques.

And it’s not the first time. It was the same last time, but the answer was mediocre at that time. Actually, looking back on it, I have made some progress, but…

I was too weak before, but now I have reached above the passing line, and he is taking it seriously.

"I need to ask. I suspect they are cursed or have been cursed..."

Percy said doubtfully, "Although this spell is so effective that I want to use it, I really can't accept this..."
